conducting such surveys, appraisals, engineering tests, soil tests (including, without limitation, Phase I and Phase II environmental site assessments), inspections of construction and other inspections and other studies as Buyer deems
reasonable and necessary or appropriate to evaluate the Property, subject to providing reasonable advance notice to Seller unless otherwise agreed to by Buyer and Seller (the “Due Diligence Examination”). Seller shall have
the right to have its representative present during Buyer’s physical inspections of its Property, provided that failure of Seller to do so shall not prevent Buyer from exercising its due diligence, review and inspection rights hereunder. Buyer
agrees to exercise reasonable care when visiting the Property, in a manner which shall not materially adversely affect the operation of the Property. 
 3.3 Restoration. Buyer covenants and agrees not to damage or destroy any portion of the Property in conducting its examinations and studies of the Property during the Due Diligence Examination and, if closing

provisions of this Section 3.3 shall survive any termination of this Contract. 
 3.4 Buyer’s Inspections. Buyer agrees to
indemnify, defend and hold Seller, Seller’s Affiliates and Existing Manager harmless from and against any and all claims, liens, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting
from Buyer’s Due Diligence Examination, whether performed directly by Buyer or any of its agents. Buyer further waives and releases all claims and causes of action it may have against Seller and Seller’s Affiliates and Existing Manager for
injuries or damages to person or property sustained by Buyer or its agents arising, directly or indirectly, from their entry onto the Property. Prior to entering onto the Land, Buyer shall carry at its own expense at least $1,000,000.00 of
commercial general liability insurance (including coverage for contractual liability) listing Seller and Manager each as an additional insured. No invasive testing, sampling or drilling shall occur without the prior written consent of Seller, such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld. In the event Buyer requests and Seller consents to such invasive testing, sampling or drilling, Buyer 

  

 14 








 
shall also furnish Seller with evidence that the party completing such testing, sampling or drilling has at least $1,000,000.00 of commercial general
liability insurance (including coverage for contractual liability) listing Seller and Existing Manager each as an additional insured from an insurance company and in a form reasonably satisfactory to Seller. The party performing such testing shall
also furnish Seller with a policy of insurance for pollution liability with limits of not less than $1,000,000.00 combined single limit, written on a “claims made” basis, and including coverage for asbestos liability, environmental site
investigations, and cutting and drilling. Evidence of the required insurance from Buyer and its agents shall be furnished to Seller before any entry onto the Property or the performing of any invasive testing, drilling or sampling, as the case may
be, and shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to Seller. The provisions of this Section 3.4 shall survive Closing or any termination of this Contract.

information contained therein, Buyer shall be entitled to terminate this Contract by notice to Seller and the Earnest Money Deposit shall be returned to Buyer with all interest thereon and both parties shall be relieved of all rights, obligations
and liabilities hereunder except for the parties’ obligations pursuant to Sections 3.3, 3.4, 4.4 and 16.6, and Article VI below. 
 ARTICLE IV 
 SURVEY AND TITLE APPROVAL 
 4.1 Survey. Seller has delivered to Buyer true, correct and complete copies of the most recent surveys of the Real Property. In the event that an update of the survey or a new survey (such updated or new
surveys being referred to as the “Survey”) are desired by Buyer, then Buyer shall be responsible for all costs related thereto. Promptly after receipt by Buyer, Buyer shall deliver the new or updated Survey of the Real
Property to Seller. 
 4.2 Title. Seller has delivered to Buyer its existing title insurance policy for its Real Property.
Buyer’s obligations under this Contract are conditioned upon Buyer being able to obtain for the Property (i) a Commitment for Title Insurance (the “Title Commitment”) issued by LandAmerica American Title Company,
Attn: Debby Moore, 2505 N. Plano Road, Ste. 3100, Richardson, Texas 75082 (the “Title Company”), for the most recent standard form of owner’s policy of title insurance in the state in which the Real
Property is located, covering the Real Property, setting forth the current status of the title to the Real Property, according to the Title Company, showing all liens, claims, encumbrances, easements, rights of way, encroachments, reservations,
restrictions and any other matters of record affecting the Real Property, according to the Title Company, and pursuant to which the Title Company agrees to issue to Buyer at Closing an Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance on the most recent form
of ALTA (where available) owner’s policy available in the state in which the Land is located, with extended coverage and, to the extent applicable and available in such state, comprehensive, access, single tax parcel, contiguity, Fairway and
such other endorsements as may be required by Buyer 

  

 15 








 
(collectively, the “Title Policy”); and (ii) true, complete, legible and, where applicable, recorded copies of all documents and
instruments (the “Exception Documents”) referred to or identified in the Title Commitment, including, but not limited to, all deeds, lien instruments, leases, plats, surveys, reservations, restrictions, and easements
affecting the Real Property. By no later than ten (10) days after the Effective Date, Buyer shall obtain a Title Commitment and best available copies of all of the Exception Documents. Buyer shall request the Title Company to provide Seller
with a copy of the Title Commitment issued by the Title Company and best available copies of the Exception Documents at the same time they are delivered to Buyer. 
 4.3 Survey or Title Objections. If Buyer discovers any title or survey matter which is objectionable to Buyer, Buyer may provide Seller with written notice of its objection to same by no later than thirty
(30) days after the Effective Date (the “Title Review Period”). If Buyer fails to so object in writing to any such matter set forth in the Survey or Title Commitment, it shall be conclusively assumed that Buyer has
approved same. If Buyer disapproves any condition of title, survey or other matters by written objection to Seller on or before the expiration of the Title Review Period, Seller shall elect either to attempt to cure or not cure any such item by
written notice sent to Buyer within five (5) days after its receipt of notice from Buyer, and if Seller commits in writing to attempt to cure any such item, then Seller shall be given until the Closing Date to cure any such defect. In the event
Seller shall fail to cure a defect which Seller has committed in writing to cure prior to or at Closing, or if a new title defect arises after the date of Buyer’s Title Commitment or Survey, as applicable, but prior to Closing, then Buyer may
elect, in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion: (i) to waive such objection and proceed to Closing, or (ii) to terminate this Contract and receive a return of the Earnest Money Deposit, and any interest thereon. If a lien or other
defect in title is caused by the acts or omissions of Buyer, then Buyer’s sole remedy shall be to waive such objection and proceed to Closing, without reduction in the Purchase Price. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Section 4.3, any uncured objections as of the end of the Review Period shall be deemed Permitted Exceptions, unless Seller unconditionally agrees to cure same prior to Closing. The items shown on the Title Commitment which are not objected to
by Buyer as set forth above (other than exceptions and title defects arising after the Title Review Period and other than those standard exceptions which are ordinarily and customarily omitted in the state in which the Hotel is located, so long as
Seller provides the appropriate owner’s affidavit, gap indemnity or other documentation reasonably required by the Title Company for such omission) are hereinafter referred to as the “Permitted Exceptions.” In no event
shall Permitted Exceptions include liens, or documents evidencing liens, securing any indebtedness, any mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens or any claims or potential claims therefor covering the Property or any portion thereof arising prior
to Closing (“Seller Liens”), each of which shall be paid in full by Seller and released at Closing, unless, in the case of the Existing Loan, it is to be treated differently pursuant to Section 4.4. 
 4.4 Existing Loan. Seller represents and warrants to Buyer that the Existing Loan is the only indebtedness secured by the Property and that the
information contained on Exhibit H is true, correct and complete in all material respects. To Seller’s Knowledge, neither Seller nor any 

  

 16 








 
guarantor is in default or breach of any provisions of the documents evidencing the Existing Loan and, to Seller’s Knowledge, no event or circumstance
has occurred or exists which but for the passage of time would be a default under the Existing Loan. At Closing, Buyer shall accept the conveyance of the Property subject to the Existing Loan, including, without limitation, all liens securing its
payment. If this Contract is still pending, by no later than fifteen (15) days after the Effective Date, Seller shall cause Existing Lender to deliver to Buyer (or for Seller to deliver to Buyer) a complete assumption and application, and
thereafter Buyer shall, at its sole cost and expense, during the pendency of this Contract use diligent, commercially reasonable efforts, in cooperation with Seller, to facilitate Buyer’s assumption of the Existing Loan, including, without
limitation, promptly furnishing and/or paying for all items required by the holder of the Existing Loan or its servicer to process Buyer’s application and pay all costs required by the holder of the Existing Loan or its servicer (such costs and
all other costs and expenses of the holder of the Existing Loan or its servicer to consider, investigate, process, approve and document the transaction contemplated by this Contract, including all application, underwriting, legal, rating agency and
assumption fees, being sometimes collectively referred to as the “Assumption Costs”); provided, however, in no event shall the Assumption Costs include any legal fees of Seller’s own counsel or legal fees of Existing
Lender’s counsel necessitated by Seller’s negotiation of the Assumption Documents or necessitated by Seller’s pursuit of an exchange contemplated by Section 16.14 hereof. In addition, any assumption fee based solely on the amount
of the Existing Loan need not be paid until Closing. Such efforts by Buyer shall include causing Buyer’s rights under this Contract to be assigned by no later than Closing to a single purpose entity or other special purpose entity as required
by the holder of the Existing Loan or its servicer and causing an appropriate guarantor (“New Guarantor”) to become a guarantor of any non-recourse carveouts and environmental indemnitees of the Existing Loan in place and
stead of the principals of Seller from and after the Closing Date. If the Assumption Documents require that Buyer or New Guarantor give representations or warranties to Existing Lender with respect to matters affecting the Property prior to Closing,
Seller and such principals of Seller currently liable therefor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer and New Guarantor from all claims from Existing Lender and all damages, costs and expenses owed to Existing Lender as a result of a breach
thereof, provided that the representations and warranties so made are limited to reasonable matters affecting the Property prior to Closing. Except as expressly provided in this Section 4.4, Buyer, and not Seller, shall be responsible for all
costs, fees and expenses incurred or payable as a result of the Assumption Costs and complying with the requirements of the Existing Loan for an assumption, and Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller from all of said
costs, fees and expenses. Buyer’s foregoing indemnity regarding the Assumption Costs shall survive Closing and any termination of this Contract. The liens, assignments and security interests of the Existing Loan shall each be Permitted
Exceptions (as shall be the Assumption Document to be executed at Closing). 
  

 17 








 ARTICLE V 
 MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND FRANCHISE AGREEMENT 
 Contemporaneously with Closing, Seller shall terminate
the Existing Management Agreement and the Existing Franchise Agreement, and Seller shall be solely responsible for all claims and liabilities arising thereunder on, prior to or following the Closing Date. As a condition to Buyer’s and
Seller’s obligation to close, Buyer shall enter into the New Management Agreement and the New Franchise Agreement, effective as of the Closing Date, containing terms and conditions acceptable to Buyer and Manager and agreed to prior to the
Effective Date, and, in the case of the New Franchise Agreement, containing a term of not less than ten (10) years. Seller shall be responsible for paying all costs related to the termination of the Existing Management Agreement. Seller shall
use best efforts to promptly provide all information required by the Franchisor in connection with the New Franchise Agreement, and Seller and Buyer shall diligently pursue obtaining each the same. Buyer shall upon written request from Seller from
time to time update Seller as to the status of the issuance of the New Franchise Agreement. Buyer shall be responsible for the payment of any and all application fees imposed by the Franchisor in connection with the assignment, transfer and/or
issuance of the new Franchise Agreement and for the matters described in Section 11.3 regarding the PIP (defined below); provided, however, Seller shall be responsible for any accrued royalty payments, Key Money repayments and any other costs,
fees and charges under the Existing Franchise Agreement and for the matters described in Section 11.3 regarding the PIP.

 Seller and
Buyer each represents and warrants to the other that, except for Hodges Ward Elliott (or its affiliate) for whose fees and commissions Seller shall be solely responsible, it has not engaged any broker, finder or other party in connection with the
transaction contemplated by this Contract. Buyer and Seller each agree to save and hold the other harmless from any and all losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) involving claims made

 7.4 Changed Conditions. If after the Effective Date and on or prior to Closing, Seller obtains Knowledge or receives actual notice of any fact or
circumstance which causes any of Seller’s representations and warranties made in this Contract to be inaccurate or untrue in any material respect, Seller shall promptly give written notice thereof to Buyer specifying in reasonable detail the
fact or circumstance in question and whether Seller elects to have a seven 

  

 23 








 
(7) day period to cure such matter (with the Closing Date being extended, with Buyer’s prior written consent, and as necessary so Seller will have a
full seven (7) days to cure). If Seller does not indicate in Seller’s notice that it has elected to cure such matter of if Seller elects to but fails to cure such matter within the seven (7) day period following receipt by Buyer of
Seller’s initial notice, then within ten (10) business days after either of such event, Buyer shall either terminate this Contract and immediately receive the Earnest Money Deposit or waive any objection to such matter and proceed to
Closing without adjustment in the Purchase Price. Buyer’s failure to give notice of its decision shall be deemed its election to waive the objection (and the applicable representations and warranties shall be deemed performed to include
exception for the new information). Except for Seller’s failure to perform its obligations in the first sentence of this grammatical paragraph, Buyer shall have no other remedy if the representation and warranty was correct when initially
given, provided, that, in all events, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Contract upon discovery of such matter as provided in this Contract. If after the Effective Date and on or prior to the Closing Date, Buyer obtains knowledge of any
fact or circumstance which causes any of Seller’s representations and warranties made in this Contract to be inaccurate or untrue in any material respect, Buyer shall give Seller notice thereof. Seller shall have a seven (7) day period
from the date of Buyer’s notice to cure such matter (with the Closing Date being extended (with Buyer’s prior written consent) and as necessary so Seller will have a full seven [7] days to cure). If Seller fails to cure such matter and
provide Buyer with notice thereof within the seven (7) day period following Buyer’s initial notice, then within ten (10) days after the expiration of Seller’s seven (7) day cure period, Buyer shall either terminate this
Contract and immediately receive the Earnest Money or waive any objection to such matter and proceed to Closing without reduction of the Purchase Price (and the applicable representation and warranty shall be deemed reformed to include exception for
the new information). Buyer’s failure to give notice within ten (10) business days of its decision after Seller’s cure period shall be deemed its election to waive the objection. Except for Seller’s failure to perform its
obligations in the first sentence of this grammatical paragraph, Buyer shall have no other remedy if the representation and warranty was correct when initially given, provided, that, in all events, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this
Contract upon discovery of such matter as provided in this Contract.

Indemnification. If the transactions contemplated by this Contract are consummated as provided herein: 
 (a)
Indemnification of Buyer. Without in any way limiting or diminishing the warranties, representations or agreements herein contained or the rights or remedies available to Buyer for a breach hereof, Seller hereby agrees to indemnify, defend
and hold harmless Buyer and its respective designees, successors and assigns from and against all losses, judgments, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of every kind, nature and description in
existence before, on or after Closing, whether known or unknown, absolute or continent, joint or several, arising out of or relating to: 
 (i) any claim made or asserted against Buyer or any of the Property by a creditor of Seller, including any claims based on or alleging a violation of any bulk sales act or other similar laws; 
 (ii) the breach in any material respect of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Seller contained in this Contract;

 28 








 (iv) any claim made or asserted by an employee of Seller arising out of Seller’s
decision to sell the Property; and 
 (v) the conduct and operation by or on behalf of Seller of its Hotel or the ownership,
use or operation of its Property prior to Closing. 
 (b) Indemnification of Seller. Without in any way limiting or
diminishing the warranties, representations or agreements herein contained or the rights or remedies available to Seller for a breach hereof, Buyer hereby agrees, with respect to this Contract, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller from and
against all losses, judgments, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of every kind, nature and description in existence before, on or after Closing, whether known or unknown, absolute or contingent,
joint or several, arising out of or relating to: 
 (i) the breach in any material respect of any representation, warranty,
covenant or agreement of Buyer contained in this Contract; 
 (ii) the conduct and operation by or on behalf of Buyer of Hotel
or the ownership, use or operation of its Property after Closing; and 
 (iii) any liability or obligation of Buyer expressly
assumed by Buyer at Closing. 
 (c) Indemnification Procedure for Claims of Third Parties. Indemnification, with
respect to claims resulting from the assertion of liability by those not parties to this Contract (including governmental claims for penalties, fines and assessments), shall be subject to the following terms and conditions: 
 (i) The party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give prompt written notice to the party or
parties from which it is seeking indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any assertion of liability by a third party which might give rise to a claim for indemnification based on the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.8,
which notice shall state the nature and basis of the assertion and the amount thereof, to the extent known; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in giving notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any obligation
to indemnify unless (and then solely to the extent that) the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such delay. 
 (ii) If in any
action, suit or proceeding (a “Legal Action”) the relief sought is solely the payment of money damages, and if the Indemnifying Party specifically agrees in writing to indemnify such Indemnified Party with respect thereto and
demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of such Indemnified Party its financial ability to do so, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, 

  

 29 








 
commencing thirty (30) days after such notice, at its option, to elect to settle, compromise or defend, pursuant to this paragraph, by its own counsel
and at its own expense, any such Legal Action involving such Indemnified Party’s asserted liability. If the Indemnifying Party does not undertake to settle, compromise or defend any such Legal Action, such settlement, compromise or defense
shall be conducted in the sole discretion of such Indemnified Party, but such Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnifying Party with such information concerning such settlement, compromise or defense as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably
request from time to time. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to settle, compromise or defend any such asserted liability, it shall notify such Indemnified Party in writing of its intention to do so within thirty (30) days of notice from such
Indemnified Party provided above. 
 (iii) Notwithstanding the provisions of the previous subsection of this Contract, until
the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of the Legal Action, the defense shall be handled by the Indemnified Party. Furthermore, (x) if the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there are likely to be defenses
available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party; (y) if the Legal Action involves other than money damages and seeks injunctive or other equitable relief; or (z) if a judgment against
Buyer, as the Indemnified Party, in the Legal Action will, in the good faith opinion of Buyer, establish a custom or precedent which will be adverse to the best interest of the continuing business of the Hotel, the Indemnifying Party, shall not be
entitled to assume the defense of the Legal Action and the defense shall be handled by the Indemnified Party, provided that, in the case of clause (z), the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to approve legal counsel selected by the Indemnified
Party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. If the defense of the Legal Action is handled by the Indemnified Party under the provisions of this subsection, the Indemnifying Party shall pay all legal and other
expenses reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Party in conducting such defense. 
 (iv) In any Legal Action initiated by a
third party and defended by the Indemnified Party (w) the Indemnified Party shall have the right to be represented by advisory counsel and accountants, at its own expense, (x) the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party fully
informed as to the status of such Legal Action at all stages thereof, whether or not the Indemnified Party is represented by its own counsel, (y) the Indemnifying Party shall make available to the Indemnified Party and its attorneys,
accountants and other representatives, all books and records of Seller relating to such Legal Action and (z) the parties shall render to each other such assistance as may be reasonably required in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense
of such Legal Action. 
  

 30 








 (v) In any Legal Action initiated by a third party and defended by the Indemnifying
Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not make settlement of any claim without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it shall not be deemed
unreasonable to withhold consent to a settlement involving injunctive or other equitable relief against Buyer or its respective assets, employees, Affiliates or business, or relief which Buyer reasonably believes could establish a custom or
precedent which will be adverse to the best interests of its continuing business. 
 8.9 Escrow Funds. To provide for the timely
payment of any post-Closing claims by Buyer against Seller hereunder, at Closing, Seller shall deposit an amount equal to Two Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($200,000.00) (the “Escrow Funds”) which shall be withheld from
the Purchase Price payable to Seller and shall be deposited for a period of one (1) year in an escrow account with the Title Company pursuant to an escrow agreement (the “Post-Closing Agreement”) in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit I, which escrow and Post-Closing Agreement shall be established and entered into at Closing. If no claims have been asserted by Buyer against Seller, or all such claims have been satisfied, within such 1-year period,
the Escrow Funds deposited by Seller shall be released to Seller, except as provided in the Post-Closing Agreement. 
 8.10 Liquor
Licenses. To the extent that the Hotel currently sells alcoholic beverages pursuant to a liquor license and/or alcoholic beverage license (collectively, the “Liquor Licenses”), Seller shall cooperate (or cause Manager to
so cooperate), at no expense to Seller or Manager, in the processing of any and all necessary forms, applications and other documents with the appropriate liquor and alcoholic beverage authorities prior to Closing so that new Liquor Licenses may be
issued to Buyer either upon completion of Closing or shortly thereafter. Issuance of a Liquor License to Buyer shall not be a condition precedent to its obligation to close pursuant to this Contract. To the extent not prohibited by applicable law,
Seller and Buyer shall execute an interim beverage agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to Seller and Buyer whereby Buyer or Manager, as the case may be, shall be able to operate under the Liquor Licenses after Closing if necessary or required
in order to continue uninterrupted alcohol sales from and after Closing. In such case, Buyer shall defend, indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities costs and expenses arising out of post-Closing alcohol
sales and service, and provide appropriate insurance.

 11.3 PIP. Prior to the Effective Date, Seller notified the Franchisor of the potential sale of the Hotel and requested Franchisor
to perform a property improvement plan in respect of the Hotel (the “PIP”). The Franchisor produced the PIP, including a timeline and budget for implementation of the PIP (the “PIP Budget”). The costs
of completing the PIP shall be borne by Buyer up to $1,971,928.00 (the “PIP Threshold”), and any PIP costs in excess of the PIP Threshold, whether incurred before or after Closing shall be paid by Seller. To the extent Seller
expends sums toward completion of the PIP implementation prior to Closing, Seller shall receive a credit therefor at Closing provided such sums are strictly in accordance with the PIP Budget. To provide for the timely payment of any shortfall
between the PIP Threshold and the actual cost of the PIP implementation, at Closing, Seller shall deposit an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the PIP Threshold (the “PIP Holdback”) which shall be withheld from the
Purchase Price payable to Seller and shall be deposited for a period equal to the earlier to occur of two (2) years or completion of the PIP in an escrow account with the Title Company pursuant to an escrow agreement in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit J (the “PIP Agreement”), which escrow and PIP Agreement shall be established and entered into at Closing by Seller and Buyer. Neither Seller nor Buyer shall commit the Franchisor to materially alter the
PIP in a manner that would increase the PIP Budget, without the prior written consent of the other party hereto. 
 ARTICLE XII

 ADJUSTMENTS 
 12.1
Adjustments. Unless otherwise provided herein, at Closing, adjustments between the parties shall be made as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date (the “Cutoff Time”), with the income and expenses accrued prior to the
Closing Date being allocated to Seller and the income and expenses accruing on and after the Closing Date being allocated to Buyer, all as set forth below. All of such adjustments and allocations shall be made in cash at Closing and shall be
collected through and/or adjusted in accordance with the terms of the Existing Management Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all apportionments and adjustments shall be made on an accrual basis in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. Buyer and Seller shall request that the Manager determine the apportionments, allocations, prorations and adjustments as of the Cutoff Time. 
 (a) Taxes. All real estate taxes, personal property taxes, or any other taxes and special assessments (special or otherwise) of any
nature upon the Property levied, assessed or pending for the calendar year in which the Closing occurs (including the period prior to Closing, regardless of when due and payable) shall be prorated as of the Cutoff Time and, if no tax bills or
assessment statements for such calendar year are 

  

 38 








 
available, such amounts shall be estimated on the basis of the best available information for such taxes and assessments that will be due and payable on the
Hotel for the calendar year in which Closing occurs. 
 (b) Utilities. All suppliers of utilities shall be instructed
to read meters or otherwise determine the charges owing as of the Closing Date for services prior thereto, which charges shall be allocated to Seller. Charges accruing after Closing shall be allocated to Buyer. If elected by Seller, Seller shall be
given credit, and Buyer shall be charged, for any utility deposits transferred to and received by Buyer at Closing. 
 (c)
Income/Charges. All rents, income and charges receivable or payable under any Leases and Hotel Contracts applicable to the Property, and any deposits, prepayments and receipts thereunder, shall be prorated between Buyer and Seller as of the
Cutoff Time. 
 (d) House Banks. All cash, checks and other funds including till money and house banks held at the
Hotel as of the Cutoff Time (collectively, the “House Banks”) shall be turned over to Buyer and Seller shall receive a credit at Closing in the amount of the cash, checks and other funds so delivered. 
 (e) Guest Ledger. Subject to (f) below, all accounts receivable of registered guests at the Hotel who have not checked out and
were occupying rooms as of the Cutoff Time, shall be prorated as provided herein. 
 (f) Room Rentals. All receipts
from guest room rentals and other suite revenues for the night in which the Cutoff Time occurs shall belong to Seller, but Seller shall provide Buyer credit at Closing equal to the reasonable expenses to be incurred by Buyer to clean such
guests’ rooms. 
 (g) Advance Deposits. All prepaid rentals, room rental deposits, and all other deposits for
advance registration, banquets or future services to be provided on and after the Closing Date shall be credited to Buyer. 
 (h) Accounts Receivable. To the extent not apportioned at Closing and subject to (e) and (f) above, all accounts receivable and credit card claims as of the Cutoff Time shall remain the property of Seller, and Seller and
Buyer agree that the monies received from debtors owing such accounts receivable balances after Closing, shall be applied as expressly provided in such remittance, or if not specified then to the Seller’s outstanding invoices to such account
debtors in chronological order beginning with the oldest invoices, and thereafter, to Buyer’s account. 
 (i) Accounts
Payable. To the extent not apportioned at Closing, any indebtedness, accounts payable, liabilities or obligations of any kind or nature related to 

  

 39 








 
Seller or the Property for the periods prior to and including the Closing Date shall be retained by Seller and promptly allocated to Seller and evidence
thereof shall be provided to Buyer, and Buyer shall not be or become liable therefor, except as expressly assumed by Buyer pursuant to this Contract, and invoices received in the ordinary course of business prior to Closing shall be paid by Seller
prior to delinquency in the ordinary course of business. 
 (j) Restaurants, Bars, Machines, Other Income. All monies
received in connection with any bar, restaurant, banquet and similar and other services at the Hotel (other than amounts due from any guest and included in room rentals) prior to the close of business for each such operation for the night in which
the Cutoff Time occurs shall belong to Seller, and all other receipts and revenues (not previously described in this Section 12.1) from the operation of any department of the Hotel shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer at Closing.

 (k) Reserves. In the event the Existing Loan is being assumed by Buyer, and not otherwise, all reserves held by
Existing Lender for replacement of FF&E and for capital repairs and/or improvements to the Hotel shall become the property of Buyer without Buyer being required to fund same, and all reserves held by Existing Lender for payment of real property
taxes shall become the property of Buyer with Buyer being required to pay for same. 
 (l) Interest. All interest on
the Existing Loan shall be prorated between Buyer and Seller as of the Cutoff Time. 
 12.2 Reconciliation and Final Payment. Seller
and Buyer shall reasonably cooperate after Closing to make a final determination of the allocations and prorations required under this Contract within one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date. Upon the final reconciliation of the
allocations and prorations under this Section, the party which owes the other party any sums hereunder shall pay such party such sums within ten (10) days after the reconciliation of such sums. The obligations to calculate such prorations, make
such reconciliations and pay any such sums shall survive the Closing. 
 12.3 Employees. Unless Buyer or the Manager expressly agrees
otherwise, none of the employees of the Hotel shall become employees of Buyer, as of the Closing Date; instead, such employees shall become employees of the Manager. Seller shall not give notice under any applicable federal or state plant closing or
similar act, including, if applicable, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Provisions of 29 U.S.C., Section 2102, the parties having agreed that a mass layoff, as that term is defined in 29 U.S.C., 2101(a)(3), will not
have occurred. Any liability for payment of all wages, salaries and benefits, including, without limitation, accrued vacation pay, sick leave, bonuses, pension benefits, COBRA rights, and other benefits accrued or earned by and due to employees at
the Hotel through the Cutoff Time, together with F.I.C.A., unemployment and other taxes and benefits due with respect to such 

  

 40 








 
employees for such period, shall be charged to Seller, in accordance with the Existing Management Agreement, for the purposes of the adjustments to be made
as of the Cutoff Time. All liability for wages, salaries and benefits of the employees accruing in respect of and attributable to the period from and after Closing shall be charged to Buyer, in accordance with the New Management Agreement. To the
extent applicable, all such allocations and charges shall be adjusted in accordance with the provisions of the Existing Management Agreement. Any accrued vacation credits for employees as of the Closing Date shall be coordinated by Manager.

 ARTICLE XIII 
 CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION 
 13.1 Risk of Loss; Notice. Prior to Closing and the delivery of possession of the
Property to Buyer in accordance with this Contract, all risk of loss to the Property (whether by casualty, condemnation or otherwise) shall be borne by Seller. In the event that (a) any loss or damage to the Hotel shall occur prior to the
Closing Date as a result of fire or other casualty, or (b) Seller receives notice that a governmental authority has initiated or threatened to initiate a condemnation proceeding affecting the Hotel, Seller shall give Buyer immediate written
notice of such loss, damage or condemnation proceeding (which notice shall include a certification of (i) the amounts of insurance coverages in effect with respect to the loss or damage and (ii) if known, the amount of the award to be
received in such condemnation). 
 13.2 Buyer’s Termination Right. If, prior to Closing and the delivery of possession of the
Property to Buyer in accordance with this Contract, (a) any condemnation proceeding shall be pending against a substantial portion of the Hotel or (b) there is any substantial casualty loss or damage to the Hotel, Buyer shall have the
option to terminate this Contract, provided Buyer delivers written notice to Seller of its election within twenty (20) days after the date Seller has delivered Buyer written notice of any such loss, damage or condemnation as provided above, and
in such event, the Earnest Money Deposit, and any interest thereon, shall be delivered to Buyer and thereafter, except as expressly set forth herein, no party shall have any further obligation or liability to the other under this Contract. In the
context of condemnation, “substantial” shall mean condemnation of such portion of a Hotel (or access thereto) as could, in Buyer’s reasonable judgment, render use of the remainder impractical or unfeasible for the uses herein
contemplated, and, in the context of casualty loss or damage, “substantial” shall mean a loss or damage in excess of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) in value. 
 13.3 Procedure for Closing. If Buyer shall not timely elect to terminate this Contract under Section 13.2 above, or if the loss, damage or
condemnation is not substantial, Seller agrees to pay to Buyer at the Closing all insurance proceeds or condemnation awards which Seller has received as a result of the same, plus an amount equal to the insurance deductible, and assign to Buyer all
insurance proceeds and condemnation awards payable as a result of the same, in which event the Closing shall occur without Seller replacing or repairing such damage. In the case of damage or casualty, at Buyer’s election and to the extent
practical, Seller shall repair and restore 

  

 41 








 
the Property to its condition immediately prior to such damage or casualty and shall assign to Buyer all excess insurance proceeds. Seller shall have right
to place any damaged portion of the Improvements in a safe condition and receive a credit on the deductible or insurance for the reasonable amounts so spent. The rights and remedies of Buyer under this Article XIII are subject to the rights of
the holder of the Existing Loan. In the event the law of the state where the Hotel is located affords other rights and remedies for a casualty or condemnation beyond those expressly set forth herein, Buyer expressly waives any such other rights and
remedies. 
 ARTICLE XIV 
 DEFAULT REMEDIES 
 14.1 Buyer Default. If Buyer defaults under this Contract after the Review Period, and such
default continues for five (5) days following written notice from Seller (provided no notice shall extend the time for Closing), then at Seller’s election by written notice to Buyer, this Contract shall be terminated and of no effect, in
which event the Earnest Money Deposit (including the Additional Deposit that Buyer is obligated hereunder to pay, but has failed to do so), including any interest thereon, shall be paid to and retained by the Seller as Seller’s sole and
exclusive remedy hereunder, and as liquidated damages for Buyer’s default or failure to close, and both Buyer and Seller shall thereupon be released from all obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing provision, (i) Buyer shall
not be released from any obligation relating to insurance or indemnities or which otherwise expressly survives a termination of this Contract, (ii) no notice shall be required for Buyer’s failure to timely make the Additional Deposit in
accordance with the provisions hereof, and (iii) no notice need be given for a default at Closing. 
 14.2 Seller Default. If
Seller defaults under this Contract, and such default continues for ten (10) days following written notice from Buyer, Buyer may elect, as Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy, either (i) to terminate this Contract by written notice to
Seller delivered to that Seller at any time prior to the completion of such cure, in which event the Earnest Money Deposit, including any interest thereon, shall be returned to Buyer, Seller shall reimburse Buyer for its actual out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in connection with this Contract not to exceed $100,000.00 (with Buyer providing Seller with reasonable evidence documenting same), and thereafter both the Buyer and Seller shall thereupon be released from all obligations with
respect to this Contract, except as otherwise expressly provided herein; or (ii) to treat this Contract as being in full force and effect by written notice to Seller delivered to Seller at any time prior to the completion of such cure, in which
event the Buyer shall have the right to an action against the defaulting Seller for specific performance. Any action for specific performance must be filed by no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the Effective Date or such remedy
shall no longer be available. No notice shall be given for a default at Closing. 
 14.3 Attorney’s Fees. Anything to the
contrary herein notwithstanding, if it shall be necessary for either the Buyer or Seller to file suit to enforce its rights pursuant to this Contract because of the default of the other party, then the prevailing party shall reimburse the non-


  

 42 








 
prevailing party on demand for the prevailing party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses. This Section 14.3 shall survive the
Closing and any termination of this Contract, and shall supersede any limitations on remedies in this Article XIV.

 MISCELLANEOUS 
 16.1 Performance. Time is of the essence in the performance and satisfaction of each and every
obligation and condition of this Contract. 
 16.2 Binding Effect; Assignment. This Contract shall be binding upon and shall inure to
the benefit of each of the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns. Except for a “Permitted Transfer” (defined below), Buyer shall not have the right to assign its interest in this Contract without obtaining
the prior written consent of Seller. As used herein, “Permitted Transfer” shall refer to an assignment by Buyer of all of its rights under this Contract (a) for which notice thereof (including a fully executed copy of the assignment
and assumption document) is contemporaneously given to Seller and at least five (5) Business Days prior to Closing, (b) to an assignee which expressly assumes in writing all obligations of Buyer hereunder (without releasing the original
named Buyer) and is an entity which itself or, if a limited partnership, whose general partner, has a director, officer or manager in common with Buyer, or if a company, has an officer or manager in common with Buyer, or regardless of entity type,
is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Apple REIT Companies, and (c) under circumstances that do not prevent or frustrate any conditions to Closing. Any assignment shall not affect the Earnest Money Deposit provisions in this Contract, and Buyer shall
indemnify Seller for any claims made by any assignee which are related to the Earnest Money Deposit The preceding sentence shall survive Closing. Following Closing pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, the original named Buyer shall be released
automatically of any unaccrued obligations and liabilities under this Contract. 
  

 44

between Buyer and Seller with respect to the subject matter hereof. No modification of this Contract shall be binding unless signed by both Buyer and Seller. 
 16.4 Governing Law. The validity, construction, interpretation and performance of this Contract shall in all ways be governed and determined in accordance with the laws of the State of New Hampshire (without
regard to conflicts of law principles). 
 16.5 Captions. The captions used in this Contract have been inserted only for purposes of
convenience and the same shall not be construed or interpreted so as to limit or define the intent or the scope of any part of this Contract. 
 16.6 Confidentiality. Except as either party may reasonably determine is required by law (including without limitation laws and regulations applicable to Buyer or its Affiliates who may be public companies): (i) prior to
Closing, Buyer and Seller shall not disclose the existence of this Contract or their respective intentions to purchase and sell the Property or generate or participate in any publicity or press release regarding this transaction, except to
Buyer’s and Seller’s legal counsel and lender, Buyer’s consultants and agents, the Manager, the Existing Manager, the Franchisor and the Title Company and except as necessitated by Buyer’s Due Diligence Examination or
Seller’s exercise of its rights and obligations under this Contract, unless both Buyer and Seller agree in writing and as necessary to effectuate the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) following Closing, the parties shall coordinate
any public disclosure or release of information related to the transactions contemplated by this Contract, and no such disclosure or release shall be made without the prior written consent of Buyer, and no press release shall be made without the
prior written approval of Buyer and Seller. The provisions of this Section 16.6 shall survive Closing or any termination of this Contract.

documents prior to Closing.

facsimile signature, and each shall be considered an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. 
 16.9
Severability. If any provision of this Contract shall, for any reason, be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, such judgment shall not affect, impair or invalidate the remainder of this Contract but
shall be confined in its operation to the provision or provisions hereof directly involved in the controversy in which such judgment shall have been rendered, and this Contract shall be construed as if such provision had never existed, unless such
construction would operate as an undue hardship on Seller or Buyer or would constitute a substantial deviation from the general intent of the parties as reflected in this Contract. 
  

 45

acquiescence to the Exchange. Buyer shall not, by reason of the Exchange, (i) have its rights under this Contract, including those which survive Closing, adversely affected or diminished in any manner, or (ii) be responsible for compliance
with or be deemed to have warranted to Seller that the Exchange in fact complies with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Buyer consents to Seller assigning this Contract to its Exchange facilitator, and waives all
claims against such Exchange facilitator arising out of its participation in the Exchange, provided that Seller remains liable to Buyer to fulfill all obligations of Seller on this Contract after such assignment.

otherwise. Seller and Buyer further agree, to the extent they may legally do so, that any such claim, demand, action or proceeding shall be decided by a court trial without a jury and that either party hereto may file an original counterpart of this
Contract or a copy of this section with any court as written evidence to the consent of the other party or parties hereto to waiver of its right to trial by jury.
