(a)General 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 and incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business, shall be allocated between Seller and Purchaser. Seller shall be entitled to all revenues and shall be 
26








responsible for all expenses for the period of time up to the Cut-Off Time, and Purchaser shall be entitled to all revenue and shall be responsible for all expenses for the period of time from and after the Cut-Off Time. 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 statement) and shall increase or decrease (as the case may be) the Purchase Price. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the following items of revenue and expense shall be allocated at Closing:
(i)  All Hotel operating revenues and expenses (the “Hotel Operating Prorations”) shall be adjusted as of the Cut-Off Time;
(ii)  Prepaid rents, fixed rents and additional rents payable pursuant to the Leases (including operating expense escalation payments, real estate tax escalation payments and percentage rent, if any, payable under the Leases) (collectively, “Rents”) to the extent same have been received for periods on or after the Closing Date shall belong to and be the property of Purchaser and Purchases shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price for all such Rents;
(iii)  All real estate and personal property taxes and assessments, if any, levied against the Property.  If the amount of any such taxes is not ascertainable on the Closing Date, the proration for such taxes shall be based on the most recently available bill, and/or assessed valuations; provided, however, that after the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall re-prorate the taxes and pay any deficiency in the original proration to the other party promptly upon receipt of the final bill for the relevant taxable period. In the event that the Property or any part thereof shall be or shall have been affected by an assessment or assessments, whether or not the same become payable in annual installments, Seller shall, at the Closing, be responsible for any installments due for any period prior to the Closing Date and Purchaser shall be responsible for any installments due for any period on or after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Seller shall be entitled to any and all refunds of real estate and personal property taxes allocable to all periods prior to the Closing Date, net of actual, reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by the party obtaining such refund, and regardless of when any such refunds are received, and any refunds of real estate and personal property taxes allocable to the period from and after the Closing Date, net of actual, reasonable out-of-pocket fees and costs incurred by the party obtaining such refund, shall belong to and be the property of Purchaser; provided that, in each case, if and to the extent that such refunds are payable to tenants of the Hotel at the time such refunds are received under the terms of such tenants’ respective Leases, the refundable portion of the amount received, net of actual, reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by the party obtaining such refund, shall be paid to such tenants.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the proration and re-proration of real estate taxes shall be calculated based on the assumption that the Hotel Tax Concession will remain in effect after Closing, regardless of whether the Hotel Tax Concession actually remains in effect after Closing. In no event shall Seller be charged with or be responsible for any increase in real estate or personal property taxes resulting from the sale of the Properties contemplated by this Agreement, any change in use of the Properties on or after the Closing Date, or from any improvements made or leases entered into on or after the Closing Date. Seller shall be responsible for any assessments made on the Properties or improvements to the Properties corresponding to any periods prior to the Closing Date. Any real estate taxes or personal property taxes for a period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date, shall be apportioned among Seller and Purchaser based on the number of days of the taxable period included in the pre–Closing Date and post-Closing Date tax period. After the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser shall make available to the other party, and to any Governmental Authority as reasonably requested, all information, records, and documents relating to the real estate and personal property taxes. The re-proration obligation under this Section 10(a)(iii) shall survive the Closing without limitation.  
27








Until such time as the CRIM issues a separate tax identification number for the Encanto Parcel and while real estate taxes payable under the tax identification number of Parcel Four include the Encanto Parcel, Seller and Purchaser shall allocate such taxes in a proportionate manner between the two parcels, and Seller shall pay Purchaser for such amount estimated between them as attributable to the Encanto Parcel, at the rate applicable assuming Purchaser pays such taxes during the period that affords property owners a ten percent (10%) discount.  Once the Encanto Parcel has received a separate tax identification number and the CRIM has assessed the same, Seller and Purchaser shall reconcile any amounts paid by Seller to Purchaser for the Encanto Parcel with the amounts assessed by the CRIM.       
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Seller shall control (at its own expense) the contest of the portions of any audits, disputed, administrative, judicial or other proceedings relating to real estate or personal property taxes for the portion of any period through the end of the Closing Date, and Seller may settle such claim without the consent of the Purchaser; provided, however, Seller may not agree to any property valuation or tax rate binding as to the future as to Purchaser, the Hotel Premises or any Property without Purchaser’s prior written consent and Seller may not agree to terminate, waive or relinquish in any respect any tax benefits, credits, discounts or other items that could reduce, or make unavailable, after the Closing any tax benefits or tax reductions as to the Hotel Premises or any Property. Purchaser shall control (at its own expense) the contest of the portions of any audits, disputed, administrative, judicial or other proceedings relating to real estate or personal property taxes for the portion of any period after the Closing Date, and Purchaser may settle such claim without the consent of the Seller.
(iv)  Fuel, if any, as estimated by Seller’s supplier, at current cost, together with any sales or excise taxes payable in connection therewith, if any (a letter from Seller’s fuel supplier shall be conclusive evidence as to the quantity of fuel on hand and the current cost therefore);  
(v)  Prepaid fees for Intangible Personal Property for periods on or after the Closing Date but only to the extent that the Intangible Personal Property is assigned by Seller to Purchaser;  
(vi)  Any amounts prepaid for periods on or after the Closing Date by the Seller under any of the Contracts assigned to Purchaser;
(vii)  All amounts prepaid by Seller under any licenses and Permits (other than utilities which are separately prorated under Section 10(a)(iv), if any, actually transferred to Purchaser. Seller shall receive a credit for all deposits made by Seller under the licenses and Permits which are transferred to Purchaser or which remain on deposit for the benefit of Purchaser;
(viii)  All prepayments made by Seller for services by third parties relating to the Property to be provided after the Closing Date;
(ix)  Revenues and expenses under the Contracts for the operation of the Property, including revenues and expenses under the Hotel Management Agreement;
(x)  Except to the extent an adjustment or proration is made under another subsection of this Section 10(a), (i) Seller shall be responsible for all amounts payable to vendors, contractors or other suppliers of goods or services to the Hotel (the “Trade Payables”) for periods prior to the Cut-Off Time which are due and payable as of or after the Cut-Off Time for which goods or services have been delivered to the Hotel prior to Cut-Off Time, and (ii) Purchaser shall receive a credit for the amount of such Trade Payables which have accrued, but are not yet due and payable as of the Cut-Off Time, and Purchaser shall pay all such Trade Payables after the Cut-Off Time when such Trade Payables become due and payable but only up to the amount of 
28








such credit; provided, however, Seller and Purchaser shall re-prorate the amount of the credit to Purchaser for any Trade Payables and pay any deficiency in the original proration to the other party promptly upon receipt of the actual bill for such goods or services. Seller shall receive a credit for all advance payments or deposits made with respect to FF&E, Retail Merchandise, inventories and other property ordered, but not delivered to the Hotel prior to the Cut-Off Time, and Purchaser shall pay the amounts which become due and payable for such FF&E, Retail Merchandise, inventories and other property which were ordered but not delivered prior to the Cut-Off time.  If applicable, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted at Closing to reflect the adjustment of any other item which, under the express terms of this Agreement, is to be apportioned at Closing to effectuate the intent that, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all items of operating revenue and operating expense of the Hotel for any period prior to the Cut-Off Time shall be for account of and paid by Seller and all items of operating revenue and operating expense of the Hotel for any period after the Cut-Off Time shall be for the account of and paid by Purchaser.
(b)Rents.   If, at the Cut-Off Time, there are any past due Rents owing to Seller by any tenant under the Leases for any period through the Cut-Off Time, Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to collect the same after the Closing Date (provided Purchaser shall not be obligated to institute separate claims against such tenant or member, including legal proceedings against any tenant with regard to the same, but Seller shall retain its right to institute legal proceedings against such tenant but not, with respect to a tenant, an action for summary dispossess, eviction or similar proceedings which affect the possession right of any tenant.) Any Rent received from any such tenant after the Closing Date shall be applied in the following order of priority: (A) first, to Rent arrearages with respect to the month in which the Closing Date shall occur (subject to apportionment pursuant to Section 10(a)(ii) above), (B) second, to Rent arrearages with respect to the period following the month in which the Closing Date shall occur and (C) third, to Rent arrearages with respect to the months preceding the month in which the Closing Date shall occur. 
(ii)       If, as of the Closing Date, any Rents other than fixed rents (including operating expense escalations, real estate tax escalations and percentage rent) (collectively, “Lease Additional Rent”) have not been billed or have not been determined in accordance with the provisions of the Leases or, if billed, have not been collected by Seller, Purchaser shall (A) bill the same when billable, (B) cooperate with Seller to determine the correct amount of Lease Additional Rent and (C) diligently pursue and use all commercially reasonable efforts to achieve the collection of the same (provided Purchaser shall not be obligated to institute legal proceedings against any tenant with regard to the same, but Seller shall retain its right to institute separate claims against such tenant, including legal proceedings against such tenant but not an action for summary dispossess, eviction or similar proceedings which affect the possession right of any tenant). If the final determination of Lease Additional Rent in accordance with the Leases shows that a net amount is owed by Seller to Purchaser, the net amount shall be paid by Seller to Purchaser within ten (10) Business Days of such final determination under the Leases. If the final determination of Lease Additional Rent in accordance with the Leases shows that a net amount is owed by Purchaser to Seller, the net amount shall be paid by Purchaser to Seller within ten (10) Business Days of such final determination.  Any Rents or portion thereof received by Seller or Purchaser following the Closing Date which are the property of the other, shall be paid to the other within five (5) Business Days following receipt thereof.
(c)Specific Allocations. Notwithstanding anything contained in the foregoing provisions:
(i)  Utilities. Charges for all electricity, water, sewer, steam, gas, telephone, internet, cable, satellite and other utility services (collectively, “Utilities”) shall be billed to Seller’s account up to the Cut-Off Time and, from and after the Cut-Off Time, all Utilities shall be billed to Purchaser’s account, which Purchaser shall open prior to the Closing Date. If for any reason

(xxxiv)  Seller represents that Seller has reviewed the information necessary to provide the representations and warranties in Section 12(c) and all the Schedules referred to in Section 12(c) with the Manager and the Manager has not provided any information to Seller that would render incorrect or incomplete any of such representations or warranties or any such Schedules.
(xxxv)  Seller is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act.  Seller understands the risks of, and other considerations relating to, the purchase of the BHR Common Stock.  Seller, by reason of its business and financial experience, together with the business and financial experience of Seller’s Representatives and those Persons, if any, retained by it to represent or advise it with respect to its investment in the BHR Common Stock, (i) has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in financial and business matters and in making investment decisions of this type, (ii) is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Company and of making an informed investment decision, (iii) is capable of protecting its own interest or has engaged one or more Representatives to assist it in protecting its interests and (iv) is capable of bearing the economic risk of such investment.

44








representations and warranties of Seller contained herein, and (iii) such BHR Common Stock, therefore, cannot be resold, transferred, offered for sale, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of unless registered under the Securities Act and applicable state or Commonwealth securities laws (unless an exemption from registration is available).  Seller hereby acknowledges that because of the restrictions on transfer of BHR Common Stock to be issued hereunder, Seller may have to bear the economic risk of the investment commitment evidenced by this Agreement and the BHR Common Stock acquired hereby for an indefinite period of time, although the Company will file the Registration Statement as required pursuant to this Agreement.
(xxxvii)  The Seller hereby covenants with the Company not to make any sale of the BHR Common Stock under the Registration Statement without complying with the provisions of this Agreement and without effectively causing the prospectus delivery requirement under the Securities Act to be satisfied (whether physically or through compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act or any similar rule), and the Seller acknowledges and agrees that the shares of BHR Common Stock are not transferable on the books of the Company unless the shares of BHR Common Stock have been sold in accordance with the Registration Statement, the Securities Act and any applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws and the prospectus delivery requirement effectively has been satisfied. The Seller acknowledges that there may occasionally be times when the Company, upon the advice of external legal counsel, must suspend the use of the prospectus (the “Prospectus”) forming a part of the Registration Statement (a “Suspension”) until such time as an amendment to the Registration Statement or prospectus supplement, if applicable, has been filed by the Company and declared effective by the SEC, or until such time as the Company has filed an appropriate report with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act. Without the Company’s prior written consent, the Seller shall not use any written materials to offer the shares of BHR Common Stock for resale other than the Prospectus, including any “free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act. The Seller further covenants and agrees to notify the Company promptly of the sale of all of the shares of BHR Common Stock. The Seller covenants that it will not sell any BHR Common Stock pursuant to the Prospectus during the period commencing at the time when Company gives the Seller written notice of the suspension of the use of the Prospectus and ending at the time when the Company gives the Seller written notice that the Seller may thereafter effect sales pursuant to the Prospectus. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company agrees that no Suspension shall be for a period of longer than 45 consecutive days, and no Suspensions shall be for longer than 90 days in the aggregate in any 365 day period.
(xxxviii)  Prior to the date hereof, the Seller has not taken, and prior to the public announcement of the Closing the Seller shall not take, any action that has caused or will cause the Seller to have, directly or indirectly, sold or agreed to sell any shares of common stock of the Company, effected any short sale, whether or not against the box, established any “put equivalent position” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(h) under the Exchange Act with respect to the common stock of the Company, granted any other right (including any put or call option)) with respect to the common stock of the Company or with respect to any security that includes, relates to or derived any significant part of its value from the common stock of the Company.
(xxxix)  The Seller acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the Company’s reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by the Company under the Exchange Act,  and has been afforded: (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the BHR Common Stock and the merits and risks of investing in the shares of BHR Common Stock; (ii) access to information about the Company and its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire 
45








without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment. 
(xl)  The Seller understands that nothing in the Agreement or any other materials presented to the Seller in connection with the purchase and sale of the BHR Common Stock constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. The Seller has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of the BHR Common Stock.
(xli)  Seller is purchasing the BHR Common Stock for investment purposes only for the account of the Seller and not with any view toward a distribution thereof or with any intention of selling, distributing or otherwise disposing of the BHR Common Stock in a manner that would violate the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
(xlii)  The Seller understands that the shares of BHR Common Stock are “restricted securities” as the term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and, until such time as the Registration Statement has been declared effective or the BHR Common Stock may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, the BHR Common Stock will bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form:
“THE SHARES EVIDENCED HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION. THE SHARES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT (1) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (2) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, IN EACH CASE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND THE SECURITIES LAWS OF OTHER JURISDICTIONS, AND IN THE CASE OF A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION, UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO IT THAT SUCH TRANSACTION DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH OTHER APPLICABLE LAWS.” UNDER REVIEW BY SELLERS SECURITIES COUNSEL”


(d)Seller acknowledges and agrees that each of the representations and warranties contained in Section 12(c) are intended for the sole benefit of the Purchaser Parties and may be waived in whole or in part, by the  Purchaser Parties, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the Purchaser Parties.
(e)The provisions of this Section 12 shall survive the Closing.

Failure to give such notice shall not constitute a defense, in whole or in part, to any Claim by an indemnified party hereunder except to the extent the rights of the indemnifying party are materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice. The indemnifying party shall notify the indemnified party of its intentions as to any Claim contained in the Indemnity Notice in writing within seven (7) Business Days after receipt of the Indemnity Notice.

With respect to any Claim, an indemnifying party shall have no obligation or liability under this Section 13 as to any Claim for which settlement or compromise of such Claim or an offer of settlement or compromise of such Claim is made by an indemnified party without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

48








such Claim asserted against the indemnified party, the indemnified party shall have the right to defend or take other reasonable action to defend its interests in such proceedings, and shall have the right to litigate, settle or otherwise dispose of any such Claim at the sole cost and expense of the indemnifying party; provided, however, that no party shall have the right to settle a Claim in a manner that would adversely affect the rights granted to the other party hereunder, or would materially conflict with this Agreement, or would require a payment by the other party, or adversely affect such other party, without the prior written consent of the other party.

The indemnification obligations of Seller and Purchaser under this Agreement shall not be affected, eliminated, impacted, limited, reduced or waived, in whole or in part, in any respect by any investigation made (or not made) by or on behalf of any party or the disclosure made by a party or such party’s Representatives, regardless of the results of any such investigation and/or disclosure and regardless of the actual or constructive knowledge of any Purchaser Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee.

(ii)      The indemnification obligations provided for in Section 13(a)(i) and in Section 13(b)(i) in favor of an indemnified party shall not be effective until the aggregate Damages incurred by such indemnified party under such provisions exceed a cumulative aggregate of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000), including payment of any deductibles (the “Basket”), but upon reaching the Basket, all such amounts shall thereafter be payable, including the initial Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00). In no event, however, shall the aggregate total liability of Seller under Section 13(a)(i) or Purchaser under Section 13(b)(i) exceed an amount equal to Four Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($4,750,000) (the “Cap”); provided, however, the parties expressly agree that the Cap does not apply to any (A) matters covered by insurance, (B) any indemnification claim by a Purchaser Indemnitee pursuant to the provisions of Sections 13(a)(ii) through Section 13(a)(ix) or by a Seller Indemnitee pursuant to the provisions of Sections 13(b)(ii) through Section 13(b)(vii).

All arbitration proceedings shall be held in the English language in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
(b)Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a request to arbitrate a dispute under this Agreement, each party shall appoint one arbitrator, and within fifteen (15) days thereafter the two appointed arbitrators shall select a third arbitrator. If either party shall fail to make such appointment within said fifteen (15) day period, the other party shall appoint the second arbitrator. If the two appointed arbitrators shall fail to select a third arbitrator within said fifteen (15) day period, the parties hereto shall mutually select the third arbitrator. If Seller and Purchaser are unable to agree within ten (10) days, then either party may, upon at least three (3) days prior written notice to the other party, request the AAA to designate an arbitrator. The AAA may thereupon appoint an arbitrator to complete the panel of three arbitrators. All arbitrators shall be impartial and unrelated, directly or indirectly, so far as employment of services is concerned, to Seller or to Purchaser to any Affiliate thereof or to any person directly or indirectly related to any Affiliate of the parties. The arbitrators need not be residents of Puerto Rico.
(c)The three arbitrators shall investigate the facts and shall hold hearings at which Seller and Purchaser may present evidence and arguments, be represented by counsel and conduct cross examination. The three arbitrators shall render a written decision upon the matter presented to them by a majority vote within ninety (90) days after the date upon which the last arbitrator is appointed, and that decision shall be final and binding on Seller and Purchaser. Judgment upon the decision rendered in such arbitration may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. Neither party shall be considered in default hereunder in connection with the dispute being arbitrated during the pendency of arbitration proceedings. If the three arbitrators shall fail to render a decision within said ninety (90) day period, then the fees payable to the arbitrators will be reduced by one-half and each party shall appoint a new arbitrator pursuant to Section 28(b) and the third arbitrator will be appointed as provided in Section 28(b) and the three arbitrators shall act in accordance with this Section 28(c).  The arbitrators shall determine in what proportion the parties shall bear the fees and expenses of the arbitrators and each party shall bear the fees and expenses of its own counsel and other consultants. In determining any question, matter or dispute before them, the arbitrators shall apply the applicable provisions of this Agreement without varying therefrom in any respect. The arbitrators shall not have the power to add to, modify or change any of the provisions of the aforesaid documents.
(d)This Section 28 shall not apply to any action for specific performance by Purchaser under Section 17(b).
(e)The provisions of this Section 28 shall survive the Closing or the earlier termination hereof.

30.CASUALTY.
(a)In the event that less than a material part of the Hotel is damaged, destroyed or rendered untenantable by fire or other casualty, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and all insurance proceeds and rights to proceeds arising out of such casualty shall be assigned by Seller without recourse to Purchaser at Closing and Purchaser shall accept title to the Hotel in such condition and Seller shall promptly file claims with all relevant insurance companies and diligently pursue all relevant insurance companies for all damages.  Purchaser shall conduct and control all proceedings, negotiations and settlements with the applicable insurance companies (“Casualty Negotiations”) and shall keep Seller informed of the status thereof. Purchaser may not enter into any settlement with the insurance companies without Seller’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate with each other with respect to the Casualty Negotiations.
(b)In the event that, prior to Closing, a material part of the Hotel is damaged, destroyed or rendered untenantable by fire or other casualty, Purchaser may elect to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller delivered no later than thirty (30) days after Purchaser’s receipt of notice from Seller regarding the occurrence of the casualty event in question, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate, the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser and Seller and Purchaser shall have no liability to each other except for the provisions that expressly survive the termination hereof. If Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement as provided above in this Section 30(b), the parties shall proceed pursuant to the provisions of Section 30(a) above as if less than a material part of the Hotel was damaged, destroyed or rendered untenantable by fire or other casualty.
(c)For purposes of this Section 30, a “material part of the Hotel is damaged” means damage or destruction to the Hotel that requires the repair, renovation or restoration of at least twenty percent (20%) of the guest rooms located therein or would require the demolition of all or any part of the Hotel.
(d)The provisions of this Section 30 shall survive the closing of the transactions contemplated herein.  
31.RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER.
(a)Purchaser or a Purchaser Successor shall not assign, sell, convey, or transfer all or at least fifty percent (50%) of the Premises, whether as an asset transfer or through the transfer of a majority of the equity of Purchaser (all or such portion, a “Specified Interest”), to any Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company, unless Purchaser shall have first delivered a Notice (“Offer”) to Seller of Purchaser’s desire to assign, sell, convey or transfer the Specified Interest along with the total price therefor (the “Offer Price”), and the other material terms and conditions of such proposed assignment, sale, conveyance or transfer, which Offer shall constitute an offer by Purchaser to sell the Specified Interest to Seller at the Offer Price and on the same material terms and conditions.  
(b)After receiving an Offer from Purchaser, Seller shall have, for thirty (30) days (the “Offer Period”), the right but not the obligation (the “ROFO”), to deliver Notice to Purchaser accepting such Offer as to all (and not less than all) of the Specified Interest, with such Notice to be delivered to Purchaser prior to the expiration of such Offer Period.  
(c)If Seller timely accepts the Offer, then Seller must consummate the Offer and pay, by wire transfer (of immediately available funds), the full amount of the Offer Price for the Specified Interest within sixty (60) days after the date on which the Notice accepting such Offer is delivered to Purchaser; provided that, if the assignment, sale, conveyance or transfer of such 
56








Specified Interest is subject to any prior and mandatory regulatory approval by any Governmental Authority, the time period during which such Offer may be consummated shall extend for seven (7) days after all such approvals shall have been received and Seller and Purchaser shall each exercise reasonable commercial efforts to obtain such approvals as soon as possible.
(d)If Seller does not timely exercise the Offer or if Seller accepts the Offer but fails to timely consummate the Offer transaction in accordance with this Section 31, then Purchaser may enter into a binding agreement to assign, sell, convey or transfer the Specified Interest within three hundred and sixty-five (365) days thereafter to a third party or parties at a sale price in an amount at least ninety-five percent (95%) of the Offer Price and on such other material terms and conditions that are no less favorable to Purchaser than as set forth in the Offer.
(e)The grant of any lien, claim, encumbrance or security interest on the Premises or on the equity of Purchaser to any one or more lenders to Purchaser shall not trigger Seller’s rights under this Section 31 and any foreclosure by any such a lender or lenders as to Purchaser’s rights to the Premises and/or as to the equity of Purchaser shall automatically extinguish any rights under this Section 31 as to the portion of the Premises and/or the equity of Purchaser pursuant to such foreclosure and all rights of Seller shall be subordinate and inferior to rights of such lender or lenders.
(f)Seller may assign its rights under this Section 31 to any Affiliate.
(g)Seller’s ROFO right under this Section 31 shall be included in the Deed of Sale and the Seller or its permitted successors and assigns shall execute any deed of subordination that any lender to the Purchaser that is not an affiliate of Purchaser (“Lender”) may require from time to time, pursuant to which the ROFO will be subordinated to any mortgage or fixture filing constituted by Purchaser over the Premises or any part thereof in favor of any such Lender; provided, however, that Seller or its permitted successors and assigns shall not be obligated to execute any such subordination unless Purchaser  agrees to promptly notify Seller of the occurrence of an event of default and send Seller a copy of any notice of default received from Lender.  Purchaser shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cause Lender to agree to provide Seller in writing an opportunity to cure of at least fifteen (15) days more than that afforded by Lender to Purchaser.   


32.RESIDENTIAL AND CERROMAR DEVELOPMENT.  
(a)Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Affiliates of Seller, including PG (collectively, the “CH Hotel Affiliates”) are developing and planning to develop additional Ritz-Carlton Reserve branded residences within the Resort, some of which may be located in the parcels identified in Schedule R (the “Cerromar Parcels”), and such Affiliates may develop a hotel concept, which could be a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, within the Cerromar Parcels (the “Cerromar Hotel”).  Purchaser agrees that all owners of such Ritz-Carlton Reserve branded residences within the Resort, including those to be located in the Cerromar Parcels, shall be fully entitled to enter into the Hotel rental program under the same terms and conditions as other existing Ritz-Carlton Reserve branded residences.
(b)If the CH Hotel Affiliates elect to develop the Cerromar Hotel and elect to seek any outside equity financing in connection with the Cerromar Hotel (the “CH Equity”), then Seller shall, and shall cause the CH Hotel Affiliates to, provide written notice (the “CH Equity Raise Notice”) to Purchaser and the Company and include with the CH Equity Raise Notice all material information regarding the proposed Cerromar Hotel (and the name of sole entity formed or to be formed to own all of the equity interest in the Cerromar Hotel) and the proposed 
57








financial and other terms regarding such CH Equity.   After receiving the CH Equity Raise Notice, the Company shall have, for thirty (30) days from receipt of the CH Equity Raise Notice (the “CH Equity Offer Period”), the right but not the obligation, to deliver Notice (the “CH Equity Notice”) to Seller of the Company’s interest in and intent to negotiate the terms of the CH Equity.  If the Company timely submits the CH Equity Notice, then the Company will have the exclusive right for the balance of the CH Equity Offer Period and an additional thirty (30) days from  end of the CH Equity Offer Period to negotiate the terms of the CH Equity.  The CH Equity available to the Company shall consist of at least fifty percent (50%) of the equity of the entity owning the Cerromar Hotel on then-market terms for equity participation in Puerto Rico.  If the  Company invests in the entity that owns or will own the Cerromar Hotel, then the Company agrees that PG will be retained as the Development Manager for the Cerromar Hotel on then-market terms substantially similar to PG’s other projects in Puerto Rico, including the Dorado Beach Resort.  If, for any reason, the Company and the CH Hotel Affiliates do not reach agreement on the terms for the CH Equity by the Company, then the CH Hotel Affiliates will not negotiate with, or agree to issue equity to, any other investor for CH Equity on terms materially more favorable than those offered to the Company as to the CH Equity in the CH Equity Raise Notice. The Company may assign its rights under this Section 32 to any Affiliate of the Company.
(c)If the CH Hotel Affiliates have developed the Cerromar Hotel, alone or with one or more other equity investors and neither the Company nor an Affiliate of the Company obtains CH Equity pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 32(b), then Seller agrees to cause the owner(s) of the Cerromar Hotel (whether one or more, the “CP Owner”) to not assign, sell, convey, or transfer (in one or a series of transactions) all or at least fifty percent (50%) of the Cerromar Hotel (not including any for-sale residential component, whether or not branded), whether as an asset transfer or through the transfer of a majority of the equity of the CP Owner (all or such portion, a “CP Specified Interest”) to any Person, unless the CP Owner shall have first delivered a Notice (“CP Offer”) to Purchaser of CP Owner’s desire to assign, sell, convey or transfer the CP Specified Interest along with the total price therefor (the “CP Offer Price”), and the other material terms and conditions of such proposed assignment, sale, conveyance or transfer, which CP Offer shall constitute an offer by CP Owner to sell the CP Specified Interest to Purchaser at the CP Offer Price and on the same material terms and conditions.  A CP Offer requirement would not be triggered solely by any equity participations in the CP Owner by the Seller Members and their Affiliates).
(d)After receiving a CP Offer from CP Owner, Purchaser shall have, for thirty (30) days (the “CP Offer Period”), the exclusive right but not the obligation, to deliver Notice to the CP Owner accepting such CP Offer as to all (and not less than all) of the CP Specified Interest with such Notice to be delivered to CP Owner prior to the expiration of such CP Offer Period.  
(e)If Purchaser timely accepts the CP Offer, then Purchaser must consummate the CP Offer and pay, by wire transfer (of immediately available funds), the full amount of the CP Offer Price for the CP Specified Interest within sixty (60) days after the date on which the Notice accepting such CP Offer is delivered to CP Owner; provided that, if the assignment, sale, conveyance or transfer of such CP Specified Interest is subject to any prior and mandatory regulatory approval by any Governmental Authority, the time period during which such CP Offer may be consummated shall extend for seven (7) days after all such approvals shall have been received and CP Owner and Purchaser shall each exercise reasonable commercial efforts to obtain such approvals as soon as possible.
(f)If Purchaser declines, or fails to timely respond to, the CP Offer, then the CP Owner may enter into a binding agreement to assign, sell, convey or transfer the CP Specified Interest within three hundred sixty-five (365) days thereafter to a third party or parties at a sale price in an amount at least ninety-five percent (95%) of the CP Offer Price and on such other material terms 
58








and conditions that are no less favorable to CP Owner that as set forth in the CO Offer.  Purchaser acknowledges and accepts that CP Owner may nonetheless develop the Cerromar Hotel as a Ritz-Carlton Reserve or other Ritz-Carlton hotel.  Nothing herein contained shall require Seller to develop any such parcels of land or, if developed, to brand the same as Ritz-Carlton Reserve or any other particular brand.
(g)If the Cerromar Hotel is developed as a Ritz-Carlton Reserve or other Marriott product, CP Owner and Purchaser shall work in good faith to enter into a mutually beneficial cost sharing agreement managed by Marriott in order to allocate certain costs between the Cerromar Hotel and the Hotel, under customary terms and conditions   
(h)The provisions of this Section 32 shall be binding on Purchaser and Seller and their respective successors and assigns, Purchaser may assign its rights under this Section 32 to any Affiliate of Purchaser, and the Company may assign its rights under this Section 32 to any Affiliate of the Company.
(i)The rights of Purchaser under this Section 32 shall be included in any Deed of Sale to the CH Hotel Affiliates, including CP Owner.
33.CONDEMNATION.
(a)In the event of any actual or threatened taking, pursuant to the power of condemnation, eminent domain or any similar or successor right of any Governmental Authority, of all or any portion of the Premises or any access thereto, or any proposed sale in lieu thereof (collectively, a “Condemnation Proceeding”), Seller shall give written notice of such Condemnation Proceeding to Purchaser promptly after Seller learns or receives notice thereof.  If all or any material part of the Premises is, or is to be, so condemned or sold in the Condemnation Proceeding, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving Seller written notice prior to the Closing and the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser by the Escrow Agent and all rights and obligations of Seller and the Purchaser Parties hereunder (except those set forth herein which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement) shall terminate immediately. 
(b)If Purchaser receives notice of a Condemnation Proceeding and Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement, then Seller shall not take any action to settle or compromise any such Condemnation Proceeding without Purchaser’s prior written consent and all proceeds, awards and other payments arising out of such Condemnation Proceeding shall, without reduction for any reason, promptly be paid or assigned, as applicable, to Purchaser at the Closing.  
(c) As used in this Section 33, the term “material” shall mean any portion of the Hotel, any parking garage and/or any outdoor parking area located on the Premises, or any access to the Premises.
34.MISCELLANEOUS.
(a)This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.
(b)Any consent or approval to be given hereunder (whether by Seller or Purchaser) shall not be effective unless the same shall be given in advance of the taking of the action for which 
59








consent or approval is requested and shall be in writing. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any consent or approval requested of Seller or Purchaser may be withheld by Seller or Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion.
(c)The signatory for each Purchaser Party and Seller is executing this Agreement in his or her capacity as representative of a Purchaser Party or Seller, as the case may be, and not individually and, therefore, shall have no personal or individual liability of any kind in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
(d)All amounts payable under this Agreement if not timely paid, shall be paid with interest thereon from the fifth (5th) Business Day (unless a different time period is provided for elsewhere in this Agreement) following the date on which any such payment was due until paid at a rate equal to the prime rate of interest announced by Citibank, N.A. from time to time plus four percentage points. The parties hereto shall have the right to institute and undertake any available remedy at law or in equity in the enforcement and collection of any amounts due under this Agreement.
(e)Each party hereto and its counsel have reviewed and revised (or requested revisions of) this Agreement and have participated in the preparation of this Agreement, and therefore this Agreement shall be interpreted without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction against the party causing this Agreement to be drafted.
(f)Each party (the “Representing Party”) hereby represents and warrants to each other party that the Representing Party has agreed to the terms of this Agreement in the exercise of the Representing Party’s own free will, with full knowledge of, and legal advice regarding, the legal consequences of the terms of this Agreement in the context of an arms-length negotiation among parties with equal bargaining power in which each party was at all times able to terminate such negotiations and not execute this Agreement.
(g)The parties each covenant and agree to promptly execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, any and all other deeds, instruments and documents and do any and all other acts and things as may be reasonably necessary or expedient to more fully effectuate this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
(h)It is distinctly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that time, wherever specified in this Agreement, is made and declared to be of the essence hereof.
(i)The parties hereby waive compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bulk Sales Act, Act No. 60 of April 27, 1931, 10 L.P.R.A. Secs. 61 et seq. (the “Bulk Sales Act”)
(j)The provisions of this Section 34 shall survive the Closing or the earlier termination hereof.
(k)The following rules shall apply to the construction and interpretation of this Agreement:
(i)  Singular words shall connote the plural number as well as the singular and vice versa, and the masculine shall include the feminine and the neuter.
(ii)  All references herein to particular articles, sections, subsections, clauses or exhibits are references to articles, sections, subsections, clauses or exhibits of this Agreement.
(iii)  The table of contents and headings contained herein are solely for convenience of reference and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement nor shall they affect its meaning, construction or effect.
