“Agreement”), between LAKESHORE EAST, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company, having an address at 303 E. Wacker Drive, Suite 2750, Chicago, Illinois 60601 (“Seller“), and STRATEGIC HOTEL FUNDING, L.L.C., a
Delaware limited liability company, having an address at 77 West Wacker Drive, Suite 4600, Chicago, Illinois 60601 (“Purchaser”). 
 RECITALS: 
 1. Seller is (or will prior to commencement of construction be) the owner in fee simple of the land legally
described in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Land”), known as Parcel P in Lakeshore East, Chicago, Illinois. (A list of all defined terms used in this Agreement and the Sections in which they
are respectively defined is contained in Section 12 of this Agreement.) 
 2. Seller intends to develop the Land by constructing

 A. An air rights lot or lots (collectively, the “Hotel Parcel”) on which shall be constructed a hotel containing (i) 210 hotel suites (each, a “Hotel Suite”) containing approximately 210,811 square
feet of space located on Floors 4 through 18, (ii) approximately 1,200 square feet on Level P-5, the Loading Level, (iii) approximately 8,750 square on Level P-1 for maintenance/storage service, (iv) approximately 3,635

amenities and facilities (the portions of the Hotel described in clauses (i) and (iv), collectively, the “Hotel Suite Floors”); the portions of the Hotel described in clauses (ii), (iii) and (v), collectively, the
“Ballroom/Lobby/Support Areas”) and (vi) other improvements, heating, electrical, plumbing, ventilating, air conditioning and other utility and mechanical systems located therein to be utilized to furnish services thereto (all
of the foregoing air rights and improvements being sometimes herein referred to collectively as the “Hotel”, the utility and mechanical systems serving the Hotel and not located within the Hotel and the portions of the Project
providing access to the Hotel are referred to herein as the “Hotel-Related Project Components”); 
 B. A parcel expected to

service areas which are not included in the Hotel Parcel shall be part of the Residential Parcels; 







 D. A parking garage to be located on Levels P-5 through P-1 (with entrances on Level L-1) which
shall contain about 1,500 spaces (the “Parking Spaces“), of which approximately 390 may be transferred for use by the nearby Building O, leaving a net of approximately 1,110 for the Building. Parking Spaces will be deeded to
purchasers of the Units, with the balance of the Parking Spaces being utilized as a public parking garage, subject to the specific requirements of Section 4.3 of this Agreement; and 
 E. A parcel expected to contain approximately 37,894 gross square feet on Levels P-5 through P-2 and expected to be used for retail space and
related facilities. 
 3. In furtherance of the foregoing, Seller has caused Loewenberg Architects and Studio/Gang/Architects, design
architects for the Building, to prepare plans and specifications for the Project, including the Hotel Parcel, the Apartment Parcel and the Condominium Parcel, which plans and specifications as prepared to date and as further developed and modified
hereafter are herein referred to, collectively, as the “Plans.” (Loewenberg Architects will be the architect of record for the Project and is referred to herein as the “Architect“.) 
 4. Upon completion of construction of the Hotel by Seller to the state of completion set forth in this Agreement (“Seller’s Work”),
Seller desires to sell and convey to Purchaser, and Purchaser desires to purchase and accept from Seller, the Hotel, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals, the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the delivery
and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by Seller and Purchaser, Seller and Purchaser hereby covenant and agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I

 AGREEMENT TO SELL AND PURCHASE 
 1.1. Sale and Purchase. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in reliance upon the representations and warranties and covenants and agreements set forth herein, Seller
agrees to sell and convey to Purchaser, and Purchaser agrees to purchase and accept from Seller, the Hotel. 
 1.2. Purchase Price.
The purchase price for the Hotel is Eighty-Two Million Three Hundred Fifty Thousand One Hundred Eighty Dollars ($82,350,180), plus or minus apportionments and other adjustments provided for herein, without setoffs. The Purchase Price is allocated
Sixty-Five Million Fifty Thousand Eight Hundred Eighty-Nine Dollars ($65,050,889) (“Hotel Floors Purchase Price”) to the Hotel Suite Floors and Seventeen Million Two Hundred Ninety-Nine Thousand Two Hundred Ninety-One Dollars
($17,299,291) (“Ballroom Purchase Price”) to the Ballroom/Lobby/Support Areas. (The Hotel Floors Purchase Price and Ballroom Purchase Price are referred to individually or collectively, as the context shall infer, as the
“Purchase Price”.) 
  

 2 








 1.3. Earnest Money Deposits. 
 (a) Upon the full execution of this Agreement, Purchaser shall deposit with Seller as an earnest money deposit an Acceptable Letter of Credit in the
amount of Eleven Million Dollars ($11,000,000). (The letter(s) of credit held as earnest money from time to time pursuant to this Agreement are referred to, individually or collectively, as the “Earnest Money Letter of Credit”.) On
or before the later to occur of (i) the date ten (10) Business Days after Purchaser’s receipt of the Ballroom Closing Notice and (ii) the date of closing (“Construction Loan Closing”) of Seller’s loan(s)
financing construction of the Project (the “Construction Loan”), Purchaser shall either cause the amount of the Earnest Money Letter of Credit previously delivered to be increased to Seventeen Million Dollars ($17,000,000) or shall
deliver an additional Acceptable Letter of Credit in the amount of Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000) (the date on which such increase has been effectuated is the “First Increased Deposit Date”). On or before the later to occur of
(x) the date one (1) year after Purchaser’s receipt of the Ballroom Closing Notice or (y) the first anniversary of the Construction Loan Closing, Purchaser shall either cause the Earnest Money Letter of Credit to be increased to
Twenty-Three Million Dollars ($23,000,000) or shall deliver an additional Acceptable Letter of Credit in the amount of Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000) (the date on which such increase has been effectuated is the “Second Increased Deposit
Date”). Purchaser shall cause each Earnest Money Letter of Credit to remain in place until Closing (except as otherwise expressly set forth herein). Upon the Ballroom Closing and payment of the Ballroom Purchase Price, the amount of the
Earnest Money Letter of Credit shall be reduced to Thirteen Million Dollars ($13,000,000). The Earnest Money Letter of Credit shall be returned upon payment of the Purchase Price in full. If any Earnest Money Letter of Credit will expire in thirty
(30) days or less, Seller shall have the right to draw thereon in full, in which event (unless at such time Seller has the right to retain the proceeds thereof in accordance with this Agreement) Seller shall continue to hold the proceeds
thereof as a cash earnest money deposit in accordance herewith. Any such earnest money, whether in the form of an Earnest Money Letter of Credit or in the form of cash, is referred to herein as the “Deposit”. The Deposit shall be
nonrefundable, except as herein provided. 
 (b) An “Acceptable Letter of Credit” shall be an irrevocable, transferable,
unconditional letter of credit issued to Seller (or, if requested by Seller, to Seller’s Lender) by an issuer reasonably acceptable to Seller (and Seller’s Lender) and in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part
hereof or such other form as is reasonably acceptable to the parties with a term of not less than one (1) year and including a so-called “evergreen” clause. Each such letter of credit must provide that the Letter of Credit and the
proceeds thereof shall be assignable to Seller’s Lender without charge (and any charge imposed by the issuer shall be paid by Purchaser). 
 1.4. The Closings. 
 (a) The delivery of the Deeds, the payment of the Purchase Price and the delivery and payment of the
other documents and amounts to be made in connection with the transfer of title contemplated by this Agreement shall take place at two separate closings (each, a “Closing”). At the “Ballroom Closing”, Purchaser shall pay to
Seller the Ballroom Purchase Price and Seller shall convey the Ballroom/Lobby/Support Areas to Purchaser. At the “Hotel Floors Closing”, Purchaser shall pay to Seller the Hotel Floors Purchase Price and Seller shall convey the Hotel Suite
Floors to Purchaser. The date upon which each Closing is to occur pursuant to the terms of this Section 1.4 shall be referred to herein as a “Closing Date”. 
  

 3 








 (b) The Ballroom Closing shall take place on a date specified by not less than fifteen
(15) months’ prior written notice (the “Ballroom Closing Notice”) from Seller to Purchaser, provided that (x) the Ballroom Closing must occur between April 1 and July 31 of 2008 or on or after
October 1, 2008 (but in no event between July 31 and October 1 of any calendar year) and (y) the Ballroom Closing shall not occur unless a Substantial Completion Certificate has been issued by the Architect for Seller’s Work
for the Ballroom/Lobby/Support Areas. The Closing Date for the Ballroom Closing shall be extended as needed if a Substantial Completion Certificate for the Ballroom/Lobby/Support Areas has not been delivered by Seller to Purchaser prior to the
scheduled Closing Date (provided that the Closing Date shall not be extended for Purchaser Delays), but if such extension causes the Closing Date to occur after July 31 of any calendar year, the Ballroom Closing shall be extended to
January 2 of the succeeding year. 
 (c) The Hotel Floors Closing shall occur thirty (30) days after prior written notice from
Seller to Purchaser accompanied by (or preceded by delivery of) (x) the Substantial Completion Certificate for the Hotel Suite Floors issued by the Architect and (y) a certificate of the General Contractor that the then current scheduled
date for removal of the first construction hoist is not later than six (6) months after the scheduled Closing Date, provided that (i) the Hotel Floors Closing shall not occur prior to September 30, 2008 and (ii) Seller may not
require that the Hotel Floors Closing occur prior to the Ballroom Closing. 
 (d) On each Closing Date, Purchaser shall pay to Seller the
applicable portion of the Purchase Price payable at such Closing by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Seller prior to the Closing. Each Closing shall be held at 11:00 a.m. (local
time) on the applicable Closing Date, at such place within the City of Chicago as mutually designated by the parties not less than five (5) business days prior to such Closing Date. If the date for a Closing determined in accordance herewith is
not a Business Day, such Closing shall occur on the next succeeding Business Day. The term “Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday or a Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in the City of Chicago are
required or permitted by law to close. 
 (e) Not less than five (5) Business Days prior to each Closing Date, the parties shall either
provide for a “New York style” closing or establish the usual form of deed and money escrow with the Title Insurer (which shall provide for “gap” coverage and immediate disbursement of funds), which shall be
modified, however, so as to conform to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Counsel for the respective parties are hereby authorized to execute the escrow trust instructions, as well as any amendments thereto. Seller and Purchaser shall each
bear one-half of the costs associated with such escrow or “New York style” closing.

 ARTICLE II 
 DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF PROJECT 
 2.1. Plans and Specifications. 
 (a) Purchaser acknowledges that the Plans for the Project listed on Exhibit C attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Building
Design Plans”) have heretofore been submitted to it for its review and approval and that Purchaser has approved the Building Design Plans as suitable for the development and operation of the Hotel. 
 (b) As drawings and specifications for the Hotel are further developed from time to time and a construction (and building permit) set of drawings,
details and specifications therefor are developed (“Final Building Plans”), Seller agrees that such drawings, details and specifications shall be submitted to Purchaser. Seller may elect to submit to Purchaser Plans as they are
developed in such stages as Seller in good faith believes determines would be beneficial for review thereof. Purchaser shall have the right to approve the Final Building Plans (and any other Plans prepared hereafter) only to the extent such plans
and specifications for the Hotel (and Hotel-Related Project Components) differ in any material respects in scope or quality from the Building Design Plans (“Purchaser’s Plan Approval”). Purchaser shall not have the right to
disapprove Final Building Plans (or any other further development of the Building Design Plans) that is consistent with and reasonably inferable from the Building Design Plans (or from any other Plans approved by Purchaser). 
 (c) In no event shall Purchaser be entitled to approve changes to Project components other than the Hotel (including the Hotel-Related Project
Components). Without limiting the foregoing, Seller shall be entitled to change the number of Units or apartments or otherwise modify the use or configuration of any or all of the other Project components, provided that parking must be maintained
sufficient for Hotel use and in any event sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Building Operating Agreement. 
 (d) Purchaser shall
not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval of any Plans. If Purchaser withholds Purchaser’s Plan Approval to the Plans which Purchaser is entitled to disapprove, Purchaser shall provide to Seller, within fifteen (15) days after its
receipt of the applicable draft or version of such drawings, details and specifications, written notice (“Purchaser’s Plan Approval Rejection Notice”) of its decision to withhold Purchaser’s Plan Approval, together with
its reasons therefor (in reasonable detail and in writing) and with a description of proposed changes thereto in order to obtain Purchaser’s Plan Approval, and Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate with one another and act in good faith in
determining as soon as reasonably possible whether and, if so, to what extent to incorporate such changes into the Final Building Plans. If Purchaser fails to provide Seller with Purchaser’s Plan Approval Rejection Notice within the above
review period and does not approve thereafter within five (5) days after request by Seller, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have given Purchaser’s Plan Approval with respect to the matters or items in question. 
 (e) Purchaser may request changes (in addition to Purchaser’s Plan Approval, which is governed by the preceding paragraph) to the proposed Plans for
the Hotel within the 

  

 5 








 
general scope and design set forth in the Plans. Any such changes shall be considered and either accepted or rejected by Seller in good faith and in the
exercise of reasonable discretion. Upon request by Purchaser, Seller shall provide information as to the cost of a change. If, individually or collectively, Purchaser requests material changes to the Plans which are accepted by Seller, as aforesaid,
the Purchase Price shall be increased or decreased to reflect the cost (or reduction in cost) to Seller of such changes. (The costs payable by Purchaser in connection with any change requested by Purchaser to Seller’s Work shall include,
without limitation, design, architectural and engineering costs.) The cost to Seller of any change increasing the cost of Seller’s Work shall include a markup for overhead of ten percent (10%). Seller may, at its option, require Purchaser to
pay for such cost increases ordered by Purchaser before performing such work. (Seller agrees not to request such advance payment for changes until such changes aggregate more than $100,000.) Seller shall in no event be obligated to accept any
requested changes which would delay or complicate construction. The Final Building Plans shall also be deemed to include mutually agreed upon details and any modifications thereof agreed to by Seller and Purchaser in writing. 
 (f) Once approved (or deemed approved) to the extent Purchaser’s Plan Approval is required, Seller shall not amend the Final Building Plans in any
manner which will materially adversely affect the Hotel (or Hotel-Related Project Components) without the consent of Purchaser, which consent shall be given or withheld in Purchaser’s reasonable discretion and Purchaser’s Plan Approval
shall be subject to the procedures and requirements set forth in Section 2.1(d). With respect to any other material amendments to the Final Building Plans which would materially affect the Hotel, Seller shall give Purchaser notice
thereof promptly after the amendment is made and, to the extent practical, before the change is integrated into the construction. Purchaser recognizes that in constructing the Project the General Contractor will make changes from the Plans,
including substituting materials. Such changes, including, without limitation, field condition changes, shall be permitted within normal construction tolerances and otherwise in accordance with the General Contract. No approval by Purchaser shall be
required for changes required by governmental authorities which do not materially interfere with use of the Hotel for its intended purposes; Seller shall endeavor to notify Purchaser promptly of any such required change which is material.

 (g) Seller shall additionally cause the interior of the Hotel Suites to be furnished according to the finish standards attached as
Exhibit D hereto and made a part hereof (the “Finish Standards”), which consist of the standard finish package the Seller is utilizing for the Units as modified per agreement of the parties. The Finish Standards for the
Hotel Suites shall be exclusive of upgrades (except as paid for by Purchaser). The ceiling heights shall be approximately 8-1/2 feet. 
 (h)
Approval by Purchaser of Plans shall not constitute a waiver of any requirements with respect to completion of the Hotel, nor give rise to any liability by Purchaser to Seller, the General Contractor or any third party whatsoever for the adequacy,
completeness or design thereof. 
 2.2. Construction Contracts. Seller shall furnish Purchaser with a copy of the general construction
contract for Building with a general contractor selected by Seller (“General Contractor”) promptly after preparation thereof (“General Contract”). In connection with the 

  

 6 








 
General Contract, the General Contract shall provide for the issuance by the General Contractor of the Hotel Construction Warranty and shall provide for the
release of the General Contractor’s lien (and its subcontractors’ liens) with respect to the Hotel upon the conveyance thereof to Purchaser. 
 2.3. Construction. 
 (a) The date of commencement of construction of the Project (which shall be the
date determined to be such according to the provisions of the General Contract) is the “Construction Commencement Date”. Once construction has commenced in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller shall
proceed diligently to complete construction of the Project in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. 
 (b) With respect to the
Hotel, “Seller’s Work” consists of the following: Seller shall complete the Hotel Suites in accordance with the Plans and the Finish Standards, and shall complete hotel floor common areas and all other areas of the Hotel in
Modified Raw Shell Condition in accordance with the Plans. “Modified Raw Shell Condition” shall mean completion to the state set forth in the specifications set forth on Exhibit E attached hereto and made a part hereof.
Seller’s Work does not include finishing beyond Modified Raw Shell Condition any part of the Hotel other than the Hotel Suites, and Purchaser acknowledges Purchaser will not be able to open or operate the Hotel without doing substantial
additional work. 
 (c) Seller shall make reasonable efforts to cause the General Contractor to achieve Substantial Completion of
Seller’s Work on or before the Scheduled Completion Date (as extended in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement). “Substantial Completion” means substantial completion of construction of the Seller’s Work with
respect to the Hotel in all material respects in accordance with the Plans and in compliance with all Legal Requirements, as evidenced by a certificate of the Architect to such effect (“Substantial Completion Certificate”). At such
time as Seller believes Substantial Completion of either the Hotel Suite Floors or the Ballroom/Lobby/Support Areas, as applicable, has occurred, Architect shall furnish Purchaser with a Substantial Completion Certificate with respect to the Hotel
Suite Floors or Ballroom/Lobby/Support Areas, as applicable, together with a punchlist prepared by Seller’s Architect (in conjunction with Purchaser’s representative) of items required to be completed in order to achieve final completion
of Seller’s Work with respect to the Hotel. 
 (d) The “Scheduled Completion Date” for the Project is the date
thirty-three (33) months after the Construction Commencement Date. The “Outside Completion Date” is the date nine (9) months after the Scheduled Completion Date, subject to extension for Force Majeure and for Purchaser
Delays. If Seller fails to cause Substantial Completion of Seller’s Work to be achieved by the Outside Completion Date, then Purchaser shall have the option at any time thereafter before Substantial Completion of Seller’s Work is achieved
to notify Seller that Purchaser intends to terminate this Agreement by reason of such non-completion. Seller shall thereafter have ninety (90) days to cause Substantial Completion of Seller’s Work to occur. If Seller fails to cause
Substantial Completion of Seller’s Work to occur within said cure period, Purchaser may at any time thereafter prior to achievement of Substantial Completion of Seller’s Work terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, in which
event the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and the parties shall have no further liability hereunder, except for 

  

 7 








 
obligations which by the terms of this Agreement survive termination thereof. “Force Majeure” shall mean any delay in the completion of
construction of the Hotel caused by natural disaster; fire; earthquake; unusual adverse weather conditions; floods; war; acts of terrorism; explosion; strikes; lockouts and other unusual or unforeseeable causes beyond the reasonable control of
Seller, provide in no event shall Seller’s lack of funds be deemed an event of Force Majeure. “Purchaser Delays” shall mean any delays in Seller’s Work caused by changes to the Plans requested by Purchaser,
Purchaser’s failure to respond timely to requests by Seller with respect to Purchaser’s approval of proposed changes to Plans or other delays caused by Purchaser. 
 (e) Once Substantial Completion of Seller’s Work with respect to the Hotel Suite Floors or the Ballroom/Lobby/Support Areas, as applicable, has
occurred, Purchaser shall within ten (10) Business Days give to Seller a list of any additional punchlist items not contained in Seller’s Architect’s punchlist delivered to Purchaser in accordance with Section 2.3(c)
above, and the parties shall act reasonably in achieving agreement on a final list of punchlist items. The Architect shall be the final arbiter of any disagreements as to punchlist items. Seller shall promptly after each Closing cause the applicable
punchlist items to be performed and completed, subject to Force Majeure and to Purchaser Delays. 
 (f) No later than the date six
(6) months after the Hotel Floors Closing (subject to Force Majeure and Purchaser Delays), Seller shall cause the Columbus Drive entrance to the Hotel lobby (and access thereto) to be clear of all construction materials and debris and suitable
for safe and sightly use by Hotel patrons, provided that Seller shall not be responsible for clearing materials and debris from Purchaser’s Work or otherwise for completion of Purchaser’s Work. 
 (g) Within six (6) months after the Ballroom Closing, Seller shall have caused Project life safety systems (and other building systems as may be
required) and emergency access and exiting to be completed to the extent needed for Purchaser to obtain a temporary certificate of occupancy for the Ballroom/Lobby/Support Areas, provided that Seller shall not be responsible for any such items
included in Purchaser’s Work. Within six (6) months after the Hotel Floors Closing, Seller shall have caused Project life safety systems (and other building systems as may be required) and emergency access and exiting to be completed to
the extent needed for Purchaser to obtain a temporary certificate of occupancy for the Hotel Suite Floors, provided that Seller shall not be responsible for any such items included in Purchaser’s Work. If required by the City of Chicago, prior
to opening for business of the Hotel Suite Floors, Seller shall erect a protective canopy (with decorative elements) over the Hotel entrance at approximately the second floor level until completion of construction of the Project (or for such period
as is required by the City of Chicago). 
 2.4. Inspection. Purchaser shall have the right to monitor the progress of the
construction, and the quality of the construction and development of Seller’s Work. Purchaser and its representatives shall be given access to the work, as well as the reasonable cooperation of Seller’s development team and the design and
construction professionals for the Project, all at Purchaser’s own risk and expense. Purchaser and its representatives shall in no event interfere with, or have authority to stop, delay or order changes in, the work. Purchaser shall promptly
after discovery notify Seller of any insufficiencies or defects in Seller’s Work to permit Seller to address same. 
  

 8 








 2.5. Representatives of Purchaser. With respect to all decisions to be made with respect to the
Plans and construction of the Hotel, Purchaser authorizes the following individuals to bind Purchaser by indicating their approval of the matter in question: 
  

			
	 Individual
	 	 Title

	Laurence Geller	 	President and CEO
	Cory Warning	 	Director of Acquisitions and Development
	Tim Taylor	 	Vice President, Capital Projects

 Purchaser shall cause there to be at least two such authorized representatives of Purchaser at any time. The
approval by any one of such individuals shall be sufficient to bind Purchaser without the approval of any other of such individuals. Purchaser may change the identity of any such authorized representative in its sole discretion effective upon
Seller’s receipt of written notice from Purchaser of such change. 
 2.6. Purchaser’s Work. Following each Closing,
Purchaser shall promptly and diligently seek to perform all work (“Purchaser’s Work”) needed to complete the Hotel Suite Floors or Ballroom/Lobby/Support Areas, as applicable, and to prepare and open the Hotel for hotel
operations. All contracts for Purchaser’s Work shall specify that any lien rights thereupon shall arise solely against such portion of the Hotel as has been acquired by Purchaser. Purchaser shall cause any lien arising therefrom and attaching
to Seller’s property to be removed (or insured over on Seller’s and Seller’s Lender’s title policy) within thirty (30) days after filing. Prior to the Ballroom Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall agree to a schedule for
Purchaser’s Work and shall coordinate their respective remaining work to maximize usability of all components of the Project. Portions of Purchaser’s Work may be needed to be completed for Purchaser to obtain a certificate of occupancy
(temporary or permanent) for the Hotel. Closing shall not be delayed if a certificate of occupancy has not been issued because of any Purchaser’s Work. Additionally, to the extent any Purchaser’s Work is needed (x) in order for Seller
to obtain a certificate of occupancy (for any portion of the Project), (y) for use or operation of any other component of the Project or (z) to complete the Hotel lobby and other areas of the Hotel which are publicly visible, and Purchaser
does not perform Purchaser’s Work when needed (to facilitate Seller obtaining a certificate of occupancy for any other component of the Project, for beneficial use by Seller of the balance of the Project or for such other purposes), Seller may
perform such aspects of Purchaser’s Work. Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for the reasonable cost incurred by Seller in performing such portion of Purchaser’s Work or removing liens against Seller’s property which Purchaser fails to
remove within ten (10) days after billing (accompanied by invoices or other reasonable evidence of cost). In the event that Purchaser does not timely reimburse Seller for such reasonable costs, interest shall accrue thereon at the prime rate
(as reported in the Wall Street Journal) plus two percent (2%) per annum (the “Interest Rate”). This paragraph shall survive Closing or termination of this Agreement. 
 2.7. Labor Covenant. 
 (a) Purchaser
shall comply with the following, and shall cause its contractors to comply with the following, in performing Purchaser’s Work. Purchaser shall not permit employment of unfit persons or persons not skilled in tasks assigned to them. Purchaser
shall ensure that all on-site construction at the Hotel (i) shall be performed solely by contractors or 

  

 9 








 
sub-contractors employing craft workers represented by unions affiliated with the local and/or national Building and Construction Trades Council, AFL-CIO,
and/or The Building and Construction Trades Department, AFL-CIO, and (ii) all such employment shall conform to traditional craft jurisdictions in the area (the “Labor Covenant”). If the construction of the exterior or
structural portions of the improvements uses components that are fabricated off-site (e.g., EIFS or brick panel systems), the components must be fabricated in a union-signatory plant and must be delivered to the Hotel by a union-signatory
transportation company. Purchaser shall include the foregoing Labor Covenant in each subcontract entered into by Purchaser and shall require that all subcontracts of any tier include the Labor Covenant. Purchaser shall be obligated to provide such
evidence as Seller, Seller’s Lender or equity partners may reasonably require, from time to time during the course of any construction at the Hotel that the Labor Covenant is being fully and faithfully observed and Purchaser shall include the
obligation to produce such evidence in each contract entered into by Purchaser in connection with Purchaser’s Work and shall require that each subcontractor of any tier include such obligation in each of its subcontracts. Subject to the
foregoing Labor Covenant, Purchaser shall use best efforts to employ labor at the Hotel or in connection with Purchaser’s Work capable of working harmoniously with all construction trades and crafts and with any entities and individuals who may
be working at the Hotel or otherwise associated with the Hotel. Purchaser shall also use best efforts to minimize the likelihood of any strike, work stoppage or other labor disturbance. Any damage, cost or delay to the Seller as a direct or indirect
result of labor disputes or disturbances which are directed at the Hotel (as opposed to a labor dispute or disturbance on the entire market), shall be the sole responsibility of the Purchaser. 
 (b) The provisions of this Section 2.7 shall survive Closing or termination of this Agreement.

 (a) Seller’s Performance.
Seller shall be ready, willing and able on the Closing Date to deliver all the documents and other items required to be delivered by Seller pursuant to Section 5.1, shall have performed all other covenants, undertakings and obligations

and binding and effective specimen policy dated such Closing Date, insuring Purchaser’s fee simple title to the Hotel Parcel (or the portion thereof being acquired at such Closing), subject only to such Schedule B exceptions to the
policy as Purchaser shall approve or be deemed to approve pursuant to Section 4.4 (collectively, the “Permitted Title Exceptions”), in an amount equal to the Purchase Price. Such policy is herein referred to as the
“Title Policy” and shall include extended coverage over the standard general exceptions contained therein, including insurance against any lien for labor or material furnished in connection with the Hotel Parcel (excluding any labor
or materials furnished by, through or under Purchaser), and also including Purchaser’s Endorsements. 
 3.3. Reasonable Efforts.

 (a) Reasonable Efforts. Seller and Purchaser shall each use reasonable best efforts to satisfy, as soon as reasonably practicable,
each of the conditions set forth in this Article III on its part to be satisfied or performed and, upon satisfaction of each such condition, shall give the other party prompt notice thereof. 
  

 11 








 (b) Waiver. At any time or times on or before the date specified for the satisfaction of the

 3.4. Construction Condition Precedent. This agreement is subject to satisfaction of the Construction Condition Precedent on or before the date
twelve (12) months after the execution hereof. In the event that the Construction Condition Precedent is not timely satisfied, either Seller or Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other at any time prior to
satisfaction of the Construction Condition Precedent. In the event of such termination, the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, and neither party shall have any further liability hereunder, except for obligations which survive termination of
this Agreement. The “Construction Condition Precedent” means commencement of construction of the Project has occurred. Without modifying the foregoing, Purchaser acknowledges that the Construction Condition Precedent may not be
satisfied for any number of reasons, including adverse changes in financial or real estate markets or inability of Seller to pre-sell a sufficient number of Units, and Seller shall have no liability to Purchaser if the Construction Condition
Precedent is not satisfied within the required period. 
 ARTICLE IV 
 COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS 
 4.1. Seller Covenants. Seller shall
promptly undertake the following with due diligence and in an expeditious manner, and in any event, within any time periods specifically set forth below: 
 (a) Governmental Approvals. Use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all permits and approvals of municipal authorities having jurisdiction for zoning and construction of the Building; 
 (b) Commencement of Construction. Upon the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Sections 3.1 and Section 4.1(a)
hereof, and the issuance of a building permit therefor, commence and complete the construction of the Building substantially in accordance with the Final Building Plans and in compliance with all applicable laws, codes, ordinances, rules and
regulations (“Legal Requirements”), and in connection therewith, obtain and keep in full force and effect all licenses, permits and approvals required by all applicable laws, codes, ordinances, rules and regulations for the
construction of the Project. 
 (c) Hotel Construction. Following commencement of construction, perform Seller’s Work with
respect to the Hotel in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement. 
 (d) Parking Spaces. Construct the Parking Spaces,
whether before or as soon as practical after Closing, but in any event complete an adequate number of Parking Spaces in sufficient time so that they are available to and usable by users of the Hotel (and other applicable parties) at the time of
opening thereof. 
  

 12 








 (e) Vertical Subdivision. Seller shall cause (i) a vertical subdivision plat of the Building
and Land to be prepared by an Illinois registered surveyor (the “Vertical Subdivision Plat”) delineating the Hotel Parcel and the Residential Parcels, creating such legal descriptions as may be necessary to consummate the
transactions contemplated herein and approved in accordance with all Legal Requirements, and (ii) an update and supplement to the Title Report to include the Hotel Parcel be delivered to Purchaser. If Seller determines in its reasonable
judgment that it is not feasible for the Vertical Subdivision Plat to be approved and recorded prior to Closing, Seller shall prior to Closing cause a metes and bounds survey of each applicable portion of the Hotel to be prepared, and Closing shall
occur based on such legal description. In such event Seller shall deliver a Plat Act Affidavit to the Title Insurer at Closing, and it shall be a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to close that the Title Insurer agrees to issue the
Title Policy based on such metes and bounds description. 
 (f) Punchlist Items. Seller shall cause any “punchlist” items
relating to the Hotel to be corrected or completed within a reasonable period of time. 
 (g) Hotel Warranty. At each Closing, Seller
shall cause General Contractor to issue to Purchaser a separate warranty (“Hotel Construction Warranty”) with respect to the portion of the Hotel being acquired in the same form and substance as that issued by the General Contractor
to Seller with respect to the balance of the Building. Without limiting the foregoing, said warranty shall obligate General Contractor to complete all punchlist work and to correct all defects in materials and workmanship for a period of not less
than one (1) year after completion. So long as the Hotel Construction Warranty is delivered, Seller shall have no liability to Purchaser for defects in materials or workmanship in connection with the construction of the Hotel. Seller shall
cooperate with Purchaser’s enforcement of the Hotel Construction Warranty. 
 4.2. Purchaser’s Covenants with respect to
Seller’s Loan. This Agreement may be collaterally assigned by Seller to Seller’s construction lender or lenders (collectively, “Seller’s Lender”) as security for the Construction Loan, and Seller’s Lender
shall be entitled to succeed to the interest of Seller hereunder. At Construction Loan Closing, Seller, Purchaser and Seller’s Lender shall enter into a tri-party agreement in such form and substance as is reasonably required by Seller’s
Lender. The tri-party agreement shall provide, among other things, (i) for the payment of the Purchase Price to Seller’s Lender to be applied to the Construction Loan, (ii) for the simultaneous release of the Hotel from the mortgage
and other security interests securing the Construction Loan, (iii) for Purchaser’s approval (to the extent required) of title, survey, plans and specifications, the Building Operating Agreement and other items susceptible of approval by
Purchaser at the time of entry into the tri-party agreement and (iv) for Seller’s Lender to have reasonable notice and cure rights with respect to this Agreement. Purchaser shall (without material additional costs or exposure to Purchaser)
cooperate with Seller in Seller’s efforts to satisfy the requirements of Seller’s Lender in order to close the Construction Loan. To the extent Seller’s Lender requires changes to this Agreement to permit financing of the Project,
Purchaser shall agree to such changes if they do not materially adversely affect Purchaser and shall otherwise not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval of required changes. 
  

 13 








 4.3. Building Operating Agreement; Parking. 
 (a) Seller and Purchaser will undertake, with due diligence and in an expeditious and good faith manner within sixty (60) days after the date hereof
(and in any event concluding prior to Construction Loan Closing), to prepare and negotiate, the terms and conditions of a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions, and Easements covering the Building and the Land and including appropriate
and reasonable allocations of common costs, including maintenance of common facilities (such as master antenna, satellite and/or cable system, loading docks and parking), mechanisms for dispute resolution, mutual support, access and other customary
easements, and customary covenants, conditions and restrictions (the “Building Operating Agreement”), provided that, among other things, the owner of the Apartment Parcel shall have primary control over (with certain appurtenant
responsibilities for) common facilities and sole development rights and rewards with respect to the roof of the Building, subject to reasonable limitations on development to be negotiated and included in the Building Operating Agreement. The
Building Operating Agreement shall provide for access to and maintenance of the pedway (with fifty percent (50%) of such maintenance costs to be paid by Purchaser), subject to the rights of and requirements of the City of Chicago. Seller
reserves the right to dedicate the pedway and other improvements to the City of Chicago or other governmental authorities. The Building Operating Agreement shall provide for the prompt removal or insuring over of any mechanic’s lien arising
from work contracted for by any one owner and attaching to property owned by another owner and for the right of a non-defaulting owner to remove a lien arising from work contracted for by a defaulting owner. The Building Operating Agreement shall
also provide for the payment of real estate taxes until such real estate taxes are separately assessed to each component of the Project (in a manner consistent with Article VI hereof) and shall provide that in the event of a default by a
party in paying its specified share of the real estate taxes and the payment of such taxes by another party, the paying party shall have a lien against the defaulting party’s component of the Project. 
 (b) The Building Operating Agreement will grant to Purchaser an easement for non-exclusive use of not less than seventy-two (72) (subject to
increase as set forth below) Parking Spaces in the public parking garage (collectively, the “Hotel Spaces”). The Hotel Parking Spaces shall not be specifically reserved or physically separated spaces. Users of the Hotel Spaces shall
be obligated to pay daily or monthly parking fees at standard garage rates. Forty seven (47) additional Parking Spaces shall remain available (i.e. not be deeded or granted by easement to another party) to be added to the Hotel Spaces in the
event of conversion of the Hotel to residential use. 
 4.4. Title and Survey. 
 (a) Preliminary Title Report and Survey. Seller has delivered to Purchaser (i) a commitment for an ALTA Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance
(“Title Policy”) from First American Title Insurance Company (“Title Insurer”) with respect to the Land, together with complete, accurate and legible copies of the underlying documents relating to the Schedule
B exceptions set forth in such report, if any (collectively, the “Title Report”), and (ii) the last available survey of the Land prepared in accordance with the next current ALTA/ACSM Survey Standards
(“Survey”). The process for reviewing the Title Report and the Survey shall be as follows: 
  

 14 








 (i) Within thirty (30) days after the date of this Agreement (together, “Title Review
Period”), Purchaser shall give Seller notice of Purchaser’s disapproval of any matters shown in the Title Report or the Survey (“Purchaser’s Title Notice”) and Purchaser shall give the Title Insurer a list of its
requested endorsements to the Title Policy (collectively, “Purchaser’s Endorsements”). (Purchaser has given the Title Insurer the list of Purchaser’s Endorsements and Purchaser’s Endorsements are agreed to be the
endorsements identified on Exhibit F attached hereto and made a part hereof.) The failure of Purchaser to give Purchaser’s Title Notice on or before the end of the Title Review Period shall be conclusively deemed to constitute
Purchaser’s approval of the condition of title to the Land and of the Survey and any exceptions or defects shown shall be deemed “Permitted Title Exceptions” for all purposes of this Agreement. A list of exceptions of which
Purchaser is currently aware and has received copies of and which in any event shall be Permitted Title Exceptions is attached as Exhibit F to this Agreement and made a part hereof. As the Permitted Title Exceptions are updated in
accordance with this Agreement, the parties may elect to attach an updated list of Permitted Title Exceptions. 
 (ii) If Purchaser
disapproves in writing any matter of title shown in the Title Report or Survey that relates to or affects, or in the future could reasonably relate to or affect, the Hotel Parcel within the Title Review Period, then Seller may, but (except as
provided below in this clause (ii)) shall have no obligation to, within 10 Business Days after its receipt of Purchaser’s Title Notice (“Seller’s Election Period”), elect to eliminate or insure over to Purchaser’s
reasonable satisfaction the disapproved title matters by giving Purchaser written notice (“Seller’s Title Notice”) of those disapproved title matters, if any, which Seller agrees to so eliminate or insure over by the Closing
Date; provided, that (x) Seller shall be obligated to eliminate or insure over at Closing to Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction all monetary liens or encumbrances of an ascertainable amount created by Seller which encumber the Hotel
Parcel upon Closing and (y) Seller shall be obligated to remove or cause the Title Insurer to remove or insure over at Closing involuntary liens aggregating up to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000). 
 (iii) Subject to the exception set forth in clause (ii) above, if Seller does not elect to so eliminate or insure over all disapproved title
matters, or if Purchaser disapproves Seller’s Title Notice, or if Seller fails to timely deliver Seller’s Title Notice, or if the Title Insurer refuses to commit to issue at Closing Purchaser’s Endorsements (subject to customary
conditions and requirements relating thereto which Purchaser has the ability to satisfy or, absent such ability, which Seller agrees to satisfy [provided that Seller has no obligation to do so]), then Purchaser shall have the right, upon delivery to
Seller (on or before five (5) Business Days following the expiration of Seller’s Election Period) of a written notice, to either: (A) waive its prior disapproval, in which event said disapproved matters shall be deemed unconditionally
approved and Permitted Title Exceptions; or (B) terminate this Agreement. Failure to take either one of the actions described in (A) and (B) above shall be deemed to be Purchaser’s election to take the action described in
(A) above. 
 (iv) If, in Seller’s Title Notice, Seller has agreed to either eliminate or insure over to Purchaser’s
reasonable satisfaction by the Closing Date certain disapproved title matters described in Purchaser’s Title Notice or if Seller agrees to satisfy a condition or requirement necessary to issue a Purchaser’s Endorsement, but Seller is
unable to do so at Closing, then Purchaser may terminate this Agreement. 
  

 15 








 (v) In the event this Agreement is terminated by Purchaser pursuant to the provisions of
Section 4.4, the Deposit shall be returned and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except as may be otherwise expressly provided herein. 
 (b) Seller to Remove Certain Liens. At each Closing, Seller shall cause the Title Insurer to delete or insure over (to Purchaser’s reasonable
satisfaction) any exception to title relating to the portion of the Hotel Parcel being acquired that (i) Seller agreed to eliminate or insure over in Seller’s Title Notice, (ii) by its terms, constitutes a lien to secure the repayment
of borrowed indebtedness by Seller and may be removed or satisfied by the payment of a liquidated sum of money, including any liens existing pursuant to the terms of any Construction Loan Seller obtains for the purpose of constructing the Project,
or (iii) Seller is obligated to eliminate pursuant to Section 4.4(a)(ii) (“Voluntary Liens”). 
 (c)
Seller’s Obligation to Cure Objections and Other Matters. If at any time after Permitted Title Exceptions have been approved or deemed approved by Purchaser pursuant to clause (a) above and prior to Closing there shall arise any
exception to title or any survey defect first disclosed in any updated title report or updated survey, Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser and Purchaser shall then have ten (10) Business Days in which to either (A) object in writing to
such exception or defect (“Objection”), or (B) accept such exception or defect in which event it shall be deemed a Permitted Title Exception. If Purchaser makes an Objection, the procedures set forth in clauses
(a)(ii)-(v) shall apply. If Purchaser fails to notify Seller of an Objection within said ten (10) Business Day period, the exception or defect in question shall be deemed approved and shall constitute a Permitted Title Exception. In no
event shall Seller be obligated to remove or insure over any mechanics’ liens or mechanics’ lien exception prior to Closing. 
 (d)
New Permitted Title Exceptions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, from time to time hereafter, Seller may elect to record against the Land easements or dedications to utilities or governmental authorities and
additional title exceptions of a similar nature reasonably required or desirable in connection with the development of the Project or the development of adjacent parcels in the Lakeshore East development. Such additional title exceptions may include
utility easements, plats (including the Vertical Subdivision Plat), modifications to existing title exceptions and other similar recorded documents. Seller shall endeavor to deliver new title exceptions to Purchaser for comment prior to execution
thereof but so long as any such documents are reasonably required for such purposes and do not materially adversely affect the Hotel Parcel, such document shall constitute an additional Permitted Title Exception without Purchaser’s express
approval and Purchaser shall not be entitled to issue an Objection thereto. 
 (e) Adjournment of Closing to Cure Title Exceptions. If
there are Objections raised less than ninety (90) days prior to a Closing, the provisions of Section 4.4 above shall apply, and Seller, by notice to Purchaser, shall be entitled to a reasonable adjournment of the applicable Closing
Date (but not beyond such ninety (90) days) to attempt to do so. 
 (f) Legal Description. If the Hotel is to be conveyed to
Purchaser by a metes and bounds legal description (prior to completion of the Vertical Subdivision Plat), Seller shall provide such legal description and survey of the Hotel Parcel showing the metes and bounds of 

  

 16 








 
the Hotel as soon as prepared and in any event not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the first Closing to occur. Such survey shall be sufficient to
cause the Title Insurer to issue the Title Policy in the form required hereby. 
 4.5. Insurance. Prior to commencement of
construction of the Building, Seller shall obtain and cause to be kept in full force and effect through the Closing “builder’s risk” property insurance protecting the Project from damage, loss or injury by fire, the perils
contemplated by the standard builder’s risk insurance. 
 4.6. Environmental Reports. Seller has offered to make available to
Purchaser for Purchaser’s review prior to execution of this Agreement the most recent environmental reports obtained by Seller prior to execution hereof (“Existing Environmental Reports”). Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser
with respect to Purchaser obtaining (at its own expense) updates or reliance letters as described by Purchaser or Purchaser’s lender. Seller is not warranting to Purchaser the environmental condition of the Land and releases Seller from any
liability or claim with respect to the environmental condition of the Land, provide that Purchaser does not release Seller of any legal rights Purchaser may have to indemnification or contribution with respect to any action brought against Purchaser
by a third party. 
 4.7. Impairment of Conditions. Neither party to this Agreement shall take an affirmative act that shall impair or
prevent the satisfaction of any condition to the Closing or that shall cause any representation or warranty to become untrue, unless such action is expressly authorized by this Agreement. 
 ARTICLE V 
 DELIVERIES AT CLOSING 
 5.1. Deliveries by Seller. At each Closing, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Purchaser the following documents, instruments and
other items, all of which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser:

 ARTICLE VI 
 APPORTIONMENTS AND CLOSING COSTS 
 6.1. Items of Apportionment. The following items shall be apportioned
between Seller and Purchaser as of each Closing Date and with respect to the applicable portion of the Hotel being conveyed on such Closing Date: 
 (a) Property Taxes and Assessments. 
 (i) General real estate taxes. 
 (A) Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that general real estate taxes for the Hotel Parcel for the year in which Closing occurs (and for prior years) shall
be assessed together with general real estate taxes for the balance of the Building and the Land. As soon as reasonably practical after the Closing Date, the parties shall file all necessary applications and documents with the Cook County Assessor
for a tax division to separate the Hotel Parcel. The parties shall cooperate with each other in obtaining such tax division. 
 (B) At
Closing, there shall be no proration for real estate taxes. General real estate taxes assessed for all years prior to the year in which Closing occurs shall be paid by Seller before such real estate taxes become delinquent. Upon receipt of the real
estate tax bill for the first installment of real estate taxes assessed for the year in which the Closing occurs, Seller shall promptly provide a copy of such bill to Purchaser together with a calculation of the portion of such bill allocable to the
Hotel Parcel, as reasonably determined by Seller, i.e., based upon a method of allocating such taxes mutually agreed upon by the parties prior thereto that attempts to equitably allocate taxes between the Hotel and Residential Parcels based upon the
best information available to the parties on the date such allocations are made (including, without limitation, any information available from the assessor’s office), but, absent such mutual agreement, then pro-rata, based upon the gross square
feet in the Hotel Parcel and the Residential Parcels, respectively, provided that with respect to any tax year for which the Land is assessed as improved property, the parties shall adjust such proration to reflect the assessment rates of different
types of property (e.g. to reflect the lower percentage of assessed value applicable to the Units as residential property). Such calculation shall also be based upon the most recent ascertainable assessments, tax rates, and multiplier for each
permanent index number applicable to the Land and Project. All allocations under this Section 6.1(a) for the year in which the Closing occurs shall be based upon a fraction determined by dividing the number of days elapsed 

  

 19 








 
through the Closing Date by 365. General real estate taxes shall be allocated on the same basis at the time that the actual amount of the real estate taxes
for the year in question are finally determined. Payments in connection with any allocation of real estate taxes shall be due within ten (10) days of written notice and thereafter shall bear interest at the Interest Rate. The foregoing
procedure for allocating taxes shall be followed for each year until a separate tax bill(s) issues for the Hotel Parcel. 
 (ii)
Assessments. If, on the Closing Date, the Land or the Project shall be or shall have been affected by any special assessments, Seller shall be responsible for all such assessments (or, as to assessments which are payable in installments,
those installments of such assessments, including interest thereon) due and payable on or prior to the Closing Date (the current installment of which shall be apportioned at the Closing). As between Seller and Purchaser, Purchaser shall be
responsible for the payment of all installments (and interest) which become due and payable after the Closing Date and which are allocable to the Hotel Parcel, as determined by Purchaser and Seller as set forth below, and Seller is solely
responsible for all such installments of assessments which are payable after the Closing Date, including interest thereon, that are allocable to the Residential Parcels, as determined by Purchaser and Seller as set forth below. Such determinations
shall be made based upon a method of allocating such assessments mutually agreed upon by the parties prior thereto that attempts to equitably allocate assessments between the Hotel Parcel and Residential Parcels based upon the best information
available to the parties on the date such allocations are made (including, without limitation, any information available from the assessor’s office), but absent such mutual agreement, then pro-rata, based upon the gross square feet (exclusive
of parking) in the Hotel Parcel and the Residential Parcels, respectively. 
 (b) Refunds or credits. All net real estate tax refunds
and credits (i.e., after deducting therefrom any reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred in obtaining such refunds or credits) attributable to any year prior to the year in which the Closing occurs shall belong to and be the
property of Seller; all net refunds and credits attributable to the Hotel Parcel for any year in which the Residential Parcels and the Hotel Parcel are separately taxed shall belong to and be the property of Purchaser; and all net refunds and
credits received after the Closing attributable to the year during which the Closing occurs or any other subsequent year before the Residential Parcel and the Hotel Parcel are separately taxed shall be reasonably apportioned between Seller and
Purchaser (including allocating the refund to a component to which the refund was intended to apply). Apportionments shall be made pursuant to this subsection (c) employing the same methods as provided for in Section 6.1(a)(i)(B)
above for taxes. 
 (c) Protests prior and subsequent to Closing. The initiation, withdrawal, settlement or compromise of any protest
or reduction proceeding affecting real estate taxes or assessments assessed against any portion of the Land or Building prior to the Project components being separately taxed shall be controlled by Seller. Any refund or reduction shall be first
applied to pay the costs of obtaining such refund or reduction. For the year in which the Closing occurs and each year thereafter until the Hotel Parcel is separately assessed, if Seller elects to not initiate or participate in a protest or
reduction proceeding for any such year, Purchaser may initiate and pursue such a protest or reduction proceeding. 
  

 20 








 (d) Notification of utilities. Seller shall notify each utility furnishing telephone, steam,
electricity, gas or any other utility service to the Building of the transfer of title to the Hotel Parcel contemplated in accordance with this Agreement and shall direct each such utility to bill Seller directly for the charges accruing to the
Closing Date and to bill Purchaser for the charges accruing to the Hotel Parcel on and after the Closing Date. Seller shall cause separate meters to be installed for the Hotel Parcel for utility service to the extent provided for in the Final
Building Plans. 
 6.2. Insurance Premiums. Since insurance policies obtained by Seller with respect to the Project will not be
assigned to Purchaser, premiums for insurance policies with respect to the Property will not be apportioned. From and after the Closing Date, the parties and their respective successors and assigns shall be responsible for keeping the Project
insured in accordance with the terms of the Building Operating Agreement between the respective owners of the Hotel Parcel and the Residential Parcels. 
 6.3. Certain Closing Costs. Seller shall pay (i) the premium for the Title Policy (but not Purchaser’s Endorsements), (ii) the cost of the Vertical Subdivision Plat and a tax division petition,
(iii) the State of Illinois transfer tax, if any, attributable to the transfer of the Hotel Parcel, (iv) the Cook County transfer tax, if any, attributable to the transfer of the Hotel Parcel, and (v) all recording charges incurred or
imposed in connection with the Vertical Subdivision Plat and the release of any liens and security interests that are not Permitted Title Exceptions. Purchaser shall pay the transfer tax, if any, imposed by the City of Chicago in connection with the
sale of the Hotel Parcel to Purchaser, the title charges for Purchaser’s Endorsements, and all recording charges in connection with the Deed. The parties shall split equally the (A) commission owed the Broker as specified in
Section 11.3 and (B) cost of a “New York style” or escrow closing. 
 6.4. Escrows. 
 (a) At the time of the Hotel Floors Closing, neither of the two construction hoists for the Project is expected to have been removed. (As set forth in
Section 1.4(c), the Hotel Floors Closing will be scheduled such that one hoist will be expected to be removed prior to the time the Hotel is open for business approximately six (6) months after the Hotel Floors Closing; the other hoist is
expected to be removed within twelve (12) months after the Hotel Floors Closing.) Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) ($1,000,000 being the “First Hoist Escrow” and the second $1,000,000 being the “Second Hoist
Escrow”) will, therefore, be withheld in escrow by the Title Insurer at the Hotel Floors Closing. If the first hoist to be removed is not removed within six (6) months after the Hotel Floors Closing, Three Thousand Two Hundred Ninety
Dollars ($3,290) per each day thereafter until one hoist is removed shall be released to Purchaser from the First Hoist Escrow; upon removal of one hoist, the balance in the First Hoist Escrow shall be released to Seller. With respect to the second
hoist to be removed, if such hoist is not removed within six (6) months after the Hotel Floors Closing, Three Thousand Two Hundred Ninety Dollars ($3,290) per each day thereafter until the second hoist is removed shall be released to Purchaser
from the Second Hoist Escrow; upon removal of the second hoist, the balance of the Second Hoist Escrow shall be released to Seller. 
  

 21 








 (b) At the time of the Hotel Floors Closing, an additional One Million Dollars ($1,000,000)
(“Entranceway Escrow”; referred to, individually or collectively, with the First Hoist Escrow and the Second Hoist Escrow as an “Escrow”) shall be held in escrow until Seller has performed its obligations under
Section 2.3(f) in all material respects. If Seller has not performed its obligations under Section 2.3(f) in all material respects within six (6) months after the Hotel Floors Closing (subject to Force Majeure and
Purchaser Delays), then Purchaser may after ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Seller, cure any uncured default by Seller in performing such obligations, in which event Purchaser’s actual costs in curing said default shall be paid
to Purchaser from the Entranceway Escrow, and any remaining balance shall be paid to Seller; if Seller timely performs its obligations under Section 2.3(f), upon completion of such performance, the balance in the Entranceway Escrow shall
be paid to Seller. 
 (c) Each Escrow shall be invested in an investment selected by Seller and reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser for the
benefit of Seller, except to the extent the principal of the applicable Escrow is insufficient to pay the amount payable to Purchaser under Section 6.4(a) or Section 6.4(b), as applicable. To the extent any Escrow, including
interest earned thereon, is insufficient to pay the amount payable to Purchaser under Section 6.4(a) or Section 6.4(b), as applicable, Seller shall pay to Purchaser any insufficiency on demand. 
 6.5. Pedway. At the Ballroom Closing, Purchaser shall reimburse the Seller for one-half of the cost of constructing the pedway (which will serve
the Hotel).

Agreement or in any document issued by Seller pursuant hereto. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit or impair the Hotel Construction Warranty. 
 ARTICLE VIII 
 DEFAULT; REMEDIES 
 8.1. Seller’s Default. 
 (a) Events of Default. Seller shall be deemed to be in default
under this Agreement in the event that Seller shall fail to perform any of Seller’s covenants, agreements and obligations under this Agreement in accordance with its terms and such failure shall continue (x) if monetary, for a period of
ten (10) days after notice of default from Purchaser, or (y) if non-monetary, for a period of 30 days after such notice from Purchaser (or for such additional period of time (but not beyond an additional sixty [60] days) as may be
reasonably necessary if such failure cannot reasonably be cured within said 30 day period, but is reasonably susceptible of being cured), during which period Seller shall have the right to cure or remedy such failure, provided that no notice or cure
period shall be applied with respect to Seller’s default in closing on a Closing Date. In no event shall Seller’s inability to cause the Title Policy to be issued be deemed a default by Seller (and in no event shall Seller be obligated to
remove or cause the Title Insurer to remove or insure over involuntary liens aggregating in excess of $1,000,000) provided that Purchaser may in such event exercise its rights under Section 4.4 with respect thereto. The foregoing grace
and cure periods shall not be deemed to modify Purchaser’s rights to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.3(e) or Section 3.4 hereof, which rights are exercisable within the time periods respectively set forth
in said sections. 
 (b) Purchaser’s Remedies. In the event a Closing shall fail to occur by reason of any default by Seller
under this Agreement, Purchaser shall have the right, at its option, as its sole and exclusive remedy (A) to terminate this Agreement and receive return of the Deposit, or (B) seek, pursue and obtain, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, specific performance of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement. 
  

 24 








 8.2. Purchaser’s Default. 
 (a) Events of Default. Purchaser shall be deemed to be in default under this Agreement (an “Event of Default”) in the event that
Purchaser shall fail to perform any of Purchaser’s covenants, agreements and obligations under this Agreement in accordance with its terms and such failure shall continue (x) if monetary (including the failure of Purchaser to increase the
Deposit as specified in Section 1.3) for a period of ten (10) days after notice of default from Seller, or (y) if not described in subsection (x) immediately above, for a period of 30 days after such notice from Seller (or
for such additional time (but not beyond an additional sixty [60] days) as may be reasonably necessary if such failure cannot reasonably be cured within said thirty (30) day period, but is reasonably susceptible of being cured), during which
period Purchaser shall have the right to cure or remedy such failure, provided that no notice or cure period shall be applicable with respect to Purchaser’s default in closing on a Closing Date. 
 (b) Seller’s Remedies. 
 (i) In
the event that an Event of Default by Purchaser shall occur prior to the First Increased Deposit Date, then Purchaser shall be liable to Seller for Seller’s damages in connection with such termination in the maximum amount of the sum
(“First Damage Cap”) of (x) the Deposit and (y) Thirty-Six Million Dollars ($36,000,000). In such event, Seller may draw upon Deposit to compensate Seller for its damages and may additionally bring an action for damages
against Purchaser to collect any actual damages in excess of the amount of the Deposit up to the First Damage Cap. 
 (ii) In the event that
an Event of Default by Purchaser shall occur on or after the First Increased Deposit Date but prior to the Second Increased Deposit Date, then Purchaser shall be liable to Seller for Seller’s damages in connection with such termination in the
maximum amount of the sum (“Second Damage Cap”) of (x) the Deposit and (y) Eighteen Million Dollars ($18,000,000). In such event, Seller may draw upon Deposit to compensate Seller for its damages and may additionally bring
an action for damages against Purchaser to collect any actual damages in excess of the amount of the Deposit up to the Second Damage Cap. 
 (iii) In the event that an Event of Default by Purchaser shall occur on or after the Second Increased Deposit Date, Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement and retain, as liquidated damages, the Deposit
(the “Liquidated Damages”). In view of the difficulty of accurately ascertaining the actual loss and damages which Seller will suffer by reason of this transaction not closing, commencing on the Second Increased Deposit Date the
Liquidated Damages provided for in this Subsection 8.2(b)(iii) are hereby fixed and agreed by the parties as the agreed upon liquidated damages (and not a penalty) that the parties acknowledge reflects a reasonable estimate of damages and
that the parties agree that Purchaser shall pay by reason of Purchaser’s Event of Default. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties agree that the Hotel includes a ballroom and other substantial facilities which Seller would not otherwise
have constructed in a residential building and which cannot readily be reused by Seller. 
 8.3. Recovery of Litigation Costs. In the
event any dispute between the parties to this Agreement shall result in litigation or other proceeding, the prevailing party shall be entitled to 

  

 25 








 
collect from the non-prevailing party all reasonable costs and expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements,
incurred by the prevailing party in connection with such litigation or other proceeding and any appeal thereof. Such costs, expenses, fees and disbursements shall be included in and made a part of the judgment recovered by the prevailing party, if
any. This provision shall survive termination of this Agreement. 
 8.4. Post-Closing Obligations. The foregoing provisions of this
Article VIII shall not relieve the parties from liability with respect to their respective post-closing obligations.

or any portion of the Hotel Parcel (excluding a portion of the Hotel Parcel which has already been acquired by Purchaser) which would prevent or substantially impair the intended operations of Hotel is taken by eminent domain or is the subject of a
pending material taking which has not yet been consummated, Seller shall notify Purchaser of such fact promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof, and either party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving notice to the other not
later than sixty (60) days after the giving of Seller’s notice, in which event neither party shall have any further obligation hereunder, except for obligations which survive termination of this Agreement. 
 (b) No Termination of Agreement. If neither party elects to terminate this Agreement as described in Section 9.1(a), (i) there
shall be no abatement of the Purchase Price, (ii) any of the conditions set forth in this Agreement that cannot be satisfied solely by reason of such condemnation shall be deemed waived by the applicable party to the extent directly affected by
such condemnation and (iii) Seller shall assign and transfer to Purchaser at the Closing all awards previously made and the rights of Seller to (and Purchaser shall be entitled to receive and keep) all awards to be made for the taking of the
Hotel Parcel (or such portion thereof as is then being conveyed) or any portion thereof or any interest therein. 
 9.2. Damage or
Destruction. 
 (a) Restoration. In the event that the Building, or any part thereof, shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or any
other casualty (“Casualty”) prior to the Closing, Seller shall promptly give Purchaser written notice of such event and, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, shall restore the Building or the portions thereof that shall have been
damaged or destroyed and shall complete any portion of the Project that shall be incomplete, so that on the Closing Date Seller shall have achieved Substantial Completion of Seller’s Work (with respect to the portion of the Hotel being acquired
on such Closing Date), provided that Seller’s Lender makes available insurance proceeds for restoration in accordance with this Section 9.2 and such insurance proceeds are adequate to complete such restoration. If such proceeds are
not made available or are not adequate, then Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving notice to Purchaser not later than thirty (30) days after Seller has knowledge that such insurance proceeds 

  

 26 








 
will not be made available or are inadequate. Additionally, if restoration cannot reasonably be completed by the sooner of (x) the Outside Closing Date
as extended by Force Majeure in connection with such Casualty and (y) nine months after the Outside Closing Date determined without extension for such Casualty, then either party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving notice
to the other not later than thirty (30) days after such Casualty occurs, and in either such event the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further obligations hereunder, except for obligations which survive
termination of this Agreement. 
 (b) Postponement of Closing. In the event neither Seller nor Purchaser terminates pursuant to
Section 9.2(a), the Closing may be postponed by Seller in the event of any Casualty for such reasonable period of time as may be necessary to complete restoration to the extent required under Section 9.2(a). 
 9.3. No Recision. No termination of this Agreement under Section 9.1 or Section 9.2 shall impair or otherwise affect any
Closing that has already occurred under this Agreement. 
 ARTICLE X 
 NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENTS 
 10.1. Purchaser Non-Compete.
Purchaser agrees not to sell Hotel Suites as individual units (whether marketed as residential condominium units, hotel condominium units or otherwise) until the first to occur of (x) eighty percent (80%) of the Units to be located on the
Condominium Parcel are subject to binding sales contracts (which, for purposes of this Article X, shall mean contracts which are no longer subject to any right of rescission or finance or other contingency) or (y) eighteen
(18) months after the date of this Agreement. After the sale of Hotel Suites as individual units is permitted pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Hotel Suites must be marketed and sold solely as furnished hotel condominium units for not
less than Seven Hundred Dollars ($700) per saleable square foot and the purchaser of the Hotel Suite must have the option to enter into a management contract for the rental of the Hotel Suite as part of the operation of the Hotel. The restrictions
set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall expire on the first to occur of (i) ninety percent (90%) of the Units to be located on the Condominium Parcel are subject to binding sales contracts and (ii) the date thirty

built on the Condominium Parcel are subject to binding sales contracts and (B) five (5) years from the date of this Agreement. At Seller’s election, the Deed for the Hotel Suite Floors shall expressly be made subject to such
restrictions. 
 10.2. Seller Non-Compete. Seller shall not convert other components of the Project to use as a hotel until such time
(after opening of the Hotel) as the Hotel ceases to be used as a hotel, provided that nothing herein shall prohibit (i) leasing of furnished apartments for periods of thirty (30) days or more as part of a corporate leasing program,
(ii) leasing of up to four (4) furnished apartments at any one time for guests of residents of Seller or its affiliates, or (iii) construction of a ballroom, meeting space or similar facilities in the podium of the Project to be used
