 Exhibit 10.9 
  
 INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT 
  
 This Agreement made and entered into this          day of
             (the “Agreement”), by and among DiamondRock Hospitality Company, a Maryland corporation (“DiamondRock,” which term shall include any Entity (as
hereinafter defined) controlled directly or indirectly by DiamondRock), DiamondRock Hospitality Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), and
                     (the “Indemnitee”). The term “Company” as used in this Agreement is intended to refer to both or
either of DiamondRock and/or the Operating Partnership, as the context requires so as to interpret the relevant provision in such a manner as to permit the broadest scope of allowable indemnification for Indemnitee hereunder permitted by applicable
law and regulations. 
  
 WHEREAS, DiamondRock desires to attract
and retain the services of highly qualified individuals, such as Indemnitee, to serve as directors and/or officers of DiamondRock; 
  
 WHEREAS, increased corporate litigation has subjected directors and officers to litigation risks and expenses, and there are limitations on the
availability of directors and officers liability insurance; 
  
 WHEREAS, DiamondRock’s By-laws, as amended and restated (the “By-laws”), require it to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law and permit it to make other indemnification arrangements and
agreements; 
  
 WHEREAS, the Company desires to provide Indemnitee
with specific contractual assurance of Indemnitee’s rights to full indemnification against litigation risks and expenses (regardless, among other things, of any amendment to or revocation of DiamondRock’s Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation (the “Charter”) or By-laws or any change in the ownership of the Company or the composition of its Board of Directors); 
  
 WHEREAS, the Company intends that this Agreement provide Indemnitee with greater protection than that which is provided by DiamondRock’s By-laws; and

  
 WHEREAS, Indemnitee is relying upon the rights afforded under
this Agreement in continuing as a director and/or officer of the Company. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the covenants contained herein, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows:

any capacity with respect to any employee benefit plan of the Company, or (iii) as a director, partner, trustee, officer, employee, agent, member or manager of any other Entity at the request of the Company. For purposes of subsection (iii) of this
Section 1(a), if Indemnitee is serving or has served as a director, partner, trustee, 

  

 
officer, employee or agent of a Subsidiary, Indemnitee shall be deemed to be serving at the request of the Company. 
  
 (b) “Entity” shall mean any corporation, partnership, limited
liability company, joint venture, trust, foundation, association, organization or other legal entity. 
  
 (c) “Expenses” shall mean all fees, costs and expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding (as defined below), including,
without limitation, attorneys’ fees, disbursements and retainers (including, without limitation, any such fees, disbursements and retainers incurred by Indemnitee pursuant to Sections 10 and 11(c) of this Agreement), fees and disbursements of

telephone and fax transmission charges, postage, delivery services, secretarial services, and other disbursements and expenses.

those terms in Section 3(a) below. 
  
 (e)
“Liabilities” shall mean judgments, damages, liabilities, losses, penalties, excise taxes, fines and amounts paid in settlement. 
  
 (f) “Proceeding” shall mean any threatened, pending or completed claim, action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution process,
inquiry, subpoena, investigation, administrative hearing, appeal, or any other proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or investigative, in each case whether formal or informal, including a proceeding initiated by Indemnitee
pursuant to Section 10 of this Agreement to enforce Indemnitee’s rights hereunder. 
  
 (g) “Subsidiary” shall mean any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other Entity of which the Company owns (either directly or through or together with another
Subsidiary of the Company) either (i) a general partner, managing member or other similar interest or (ii) (A) 50% or more of the voting power of the voting capital equity interests of such corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint

 2. Services of Indemnitee. In consideration of the Company’s covenants and commitments
hereunder, Indemnitee agrees to serve or continue to serve as a director and/or officer of the Company. However, this Agreement shall not impose any obligation on Indemnitee or the Company to continue Indemnitee’s service to the Company beyond
any period otherwise required by law or by other agreements or commitments of the parties, if any. 
  
 3. Agreement to Indemnify. The Company agrees to indemnify Indemnitee as follows: 
  
 (a) Proceedings Other Than By or In the Right of the Company. Subject
to the exceptions contained in Section 4(a) below, if Indemnitee was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding or was or is a witness or is threatened to be made a witness in any Proceeding (other than an action by or in
the right of the Company), in each case by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, Indemnitee shall be indemnified by the Company against all Expenses and Liabilities incurred or paid by Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding (referred
to herein as “Indemnifiable Expenses” and “Indemnifiable Liabilities,” respectively, and collectively as “Indemnifiable Amounts”). The Company hereby agrees to indemnify Indemnitee’s spouse (whether by statute or
at common law and without regard to the location of the governing jurisdiction) and children (including by way of adoption) as express third-party beneficiaries hereunder to the same extent and subject to the same limitations applicable to
Indemnitee hereunder for claims arising out the status of such person as a spouse or child of Indemnitee, including claims seeking damages from marital property (including community property) and property held by the Indemnitee and such spouse or
property transferred to such spouse or child. 
  
 (b)
Proceedings By or In the Right of the Company. Subject to the exceptions contained in Section 4(b) below, if Indemnitee was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding by or in the right of the Company by reason of
Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, Indemnitee shall be indemnified by the Company against all Indemnifiable Expenses and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, amounts paid in settlement. 
  
 (c) Conclusive Presumption Regarding Standard of Care. In making any
determination required to be made under [Maryland] law with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person, persons or entity making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this
Agreement if Indemnitee submitted a request therefor in accordance with Section 5 of this Agreement, and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making by any person, 

  

 3 

 
persons, entity, regulatory authority or court of any determination contrary to that presumption. 
  
 4. Exceptions to Indemnification. Indemnitee shall be entitled
to indemnification under Sections 3(a) and 3(b) above in all circumstances other than with respect to any specific claim, issue or matter involved in the Proceeding out of which Indemnitee’s claim for indemnification has arisen to which any of
Sections 4(a), 4(b) or 4(c) below applies: 
  
 (a) Proceedings
Other Than By or In the Right of the Company. If indemnification is requested under Section 3(a) and it has been finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction that, in connection with such specific claim, issue or matter, Indemnitee
failed to act (i) in good faith and (ii) in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that
Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to payment of Indemnifiable Amounts hereunder with respect to such claim, issue or matter. 
  
 (b) Proceedings By or In the Right of the Company. If indemnification is requested under Section 3(b) and:

  
 (i) it has been finally adjudicated by a court of competent
jurisdiction that, in connection with such specific claim, issue or matter, Indemnitee failed to act (A) in good faith and (B) in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, Indemnitee shall
not be entitled to payment of Indemnifiable Expenses, or amounts paid in settlement, hereunder with respect to such claim, issue or matter; or 
  
 (ii) it has been finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction that Indemnitee is liable to the Company with respect to such specific claim,
issue or matter, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to payment of Indemnifiable Expenses, or amounts paid in settlement, hereunder with respect to such claim, issue or matter unless the Court of Chancery or another court in which such Proceeding was
brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such Indemnifiable Expenses or amounts paid
in settlement as such court shall deem proper; or 
  

 4 

 (iii) it has been finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction that Indemnitee is liable to
the Company for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by the Indemnitee of securities of the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder and amendments thereto or similar provisions of any federal, state or local statutory law, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to payment of Indemnifiable Expenses or amounts paid in settlement, hereunder with respect to such issue, claim or
matter. 
  
 (c) Insurance Proceeds. To the extent payment
is actually made to the Indemnitee under a valid and collectible insurance policy in respect of Indemnifiable Amounts in connection with such specific claim, issue or matter, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to payment of Indemnifiable Amounts
hereunder except in respect of any excess beyond the amount of payment under such insurance. 
  
 5. Procedure for Payment of Indemnifiable Amounts. Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request specifying the Indemnifiable Amounts for which Indemnitee seeks payment under Section 3 of this
Agreement and the basis for the claim. The Company shall pay such Indemnifiable Amounts to Indemnitee within forty-five (45) calendar days of receipt of the request. At the request of the Company, Indemnitee shall furnish such documentation and
information as are reasonably available to Indemnitee and necessary to establish that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder. 
  
 6. Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
and without limiting any such provision, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, a party to and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all
Expenses reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims,
issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. For purposes of
this Agreement, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, by reason of settlement, judgment, order or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or
matter.  
  
 7. Effect of Certain
Resolutions. Neither the settlement or termination of any Proceeding nor the failure of the Company to award indemnification or to determine that indemnification is payable shall create a presumption that Indemnitee is not entitled to
indemnification hereunder. In addition, the termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not create a 

  

 5 

 
presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s action was unlawful. 
  
 8. Agreement to Advance Expenses; Undertaking. The Company shall advance all Expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection
with any Proceeding, including a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company, in which Indemnitee is involved by reason of such Indemnitee’s Corporate Status within ten (10) calendar days after the receipt by the Company of a written statement
from Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. To the extent required by [Maryland] law, Indemnitee hereby undertakes to repay any and all of the amount of
Indemnifiable Expenses paid to Indemnitee if it is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Section 4 above that Indemnitee is not entitled under this Agreement to indemnification with respect to such Expenses. This
undertaking is an unlimited general obligation of Indemnitee. 
  
 9. Procedure for Advance Payment of Expenses. Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request or requests specifying the Indemnifiable Expenses for which Indemnitee seeks an advancement under Section 8 of this
Agreement, together with documentation evidencing that Indemnitee has incurred such Indemnifiable Expenses. Payment of Indemnifiable Expenses under Section 8 shall be made no later than ten (10) calendar days after the Company’s receipt of each
such request. 
  
 10. Remedies of Indemnitee.

  
 (a) Right to Petition Court. In the event that
Indemnitee makes a request for payment of Indemnifiable Amounts under Sections 3 and 5 above or a request for an advancement of Indemnifiable Expenses under Sections 8 and 9 above and the Company fails to make such payment or advancement in a timely
manner pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Indemnitee may petition the Court of Chancery to enforce the Company’s obligations under this Agreement. 
  

(b) Burden of Proof. In any judicial proceeding brought under Section 10(a) above, the Company shall have the burden of proving that Indemnitee
is not entitled to payment of Indemnifiable Amounts hereunder. 
  

 6 

 (c) Expenses. The Company agrees to reimburse Indemnitee in full for any Expenses incurred by
Indemnitee in connection with investigating, preparing for, litigating, defending or settling any action brought by Indemnitee under Section 10(a) above, or in connection with any claim or counterclaim brought by the Company in connection therewith,
whether or not Indemnitee is successful in whole or in part in connection with any such action. 
  
 (d) Failure to Act Not a Defense. The failure of the Company (including its Board of Directors or any committee thereof, independent legal counsel,
or stockholders) to make a determination concerning the permissibility of the payment of Indemnifiable Amounts or the advancement of Indemnifiable Expenses under this Agreement shall not be a defense in any action brought under Section 10(a) above,
and shall not create a presumption that such payment or advancement is not permissible. 
  
 11. Defense of the Underlying Proceeding. 
  
 (a) Notice/Cooperation by Indemnitee. Indemnitee agrees to notify the Company promptly upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, request for information or documents, complaint, indictment,
information, or other document relating to any Proceeding which may result in the payment of Indemnifiable Amounts or the advancement of Indemnifiable Expenses hereunder; provided, however, that the failure to give any such notice shall not
disqualify Indemnitee from the right, or otherwise affect in any manner any right of Indemnitee, to receive payments of Indemnifiable Amounts or advancements of Indemnifiable Expenses unless the Company’s ability to defend in such Proceeding is
materially and adversely prejudiced thereby. Indemnitee shall give the Company such information and cooperation as it may reasonably require and as shall be within Indemnitee’s power. 
  
 (b) Defense by Company. Subject to the provisions of the last
sentence of this Section 11(b) and of Section 11(c) below, the Company shall have the right to defend Indemnitee in any Proceeding which may give rise to the payment of Indemnifiable Amounts hereunder with counsel approved by Indemnitee, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided, however that the Company shall notify Indemnitee of any such decision to defend within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of notice of any such Proceeding under Section 11(a) above. The Company
shall not, without the prior written consent of Indemnitee, consent to the entry of any judgment against Indemnitee or enter into any settlement or compromise which (i) includes an admission or finding of fault of Indemnitee or (ii) does not
include, as an unconditional term thereof, the full release of Indemnitee from all liability in respect of such Proceeding, which release shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee. This 

  

 7 

 
Section 11(b) shall not apply to a Proceeding brought by Indemnitee under Section 10(a) above or pursuant to Section 19 below. 
  
 (c) Indemnitee’s Right to Counsel. Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 11(b) above, if in a Proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, (i) Indemnitee reasonably concludes that he or she may have separate defenses or counterclaims to assert with
respect to any issue which may not be consistent with the position of other defendants in such Proceeding, (ii) a conflict of interest or potential conflict of interest exists between Indemnitee and the Company, or between Indemnitee and another
director or officer of the Company who is defended by the Company with the same counsel as counsel representing Indemnitee or (iii) if the Company fails to assume the defense of such proceeding in a timely manner, Indemnitee shall be entitled to be
represented by separate legal counsel of Indemnitee’s choice at the expense of the Company. In addition, if the Company fails to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement or in the event that the Company or any other person takes
any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any action, suit or proceeding to deny or to recover from Indemnitee the benefits intended to be provided to Indemnitee hereunder, Indemnitee shall have the right to retain
counsel of Indemnitee’s choice, at the expense of the Company, to represent Indemnitee in connection with any such matter. 
  
 12. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to Indemnitee as follows: 
  
 (a) Authority. The Company has all necessary power and authority to
enter into, and be bound by the terms of, this Agreement, and the execution, delivery and performance of the undertakings contemplated by this Agreement have been duly authorized by the Company. 
  
 (b) Enforceability. This Agreement, when executed and delivered by
the Company in accordance with the provisions hereof, shall be a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally. 
  
 13. Insurance. The Company shall, from time to time, make the good faith determination whether or not it is practicable for the Company to
obtain and maintain a policy or policies of insurance with a reputable insurance company providing the Indemnitee with coverage for losses from wrongful acts. For so long as Indemnitee shall remain a director or officer of the Company and with
respect to any such prior service, in all policies of director and officer liability insurance, Indemnitee shall be named as an insured in such a manner as to provide Indemnitee the same rights and benefits as are accorded to the most favorably
insured of the Company’s officers and directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to obtain or maintain such insurance if the Company determines in good faith that 

  

 8 

 
such insurance is not reasonably available, if the premium costs for such insurance are disproportionate to the amount of coverage provided, or if the
coverage provided by such insurance is limited by exclusions so as to provide an insufficient benefit. The Company shall promptly notify Indemnitee of any good faith determination not to provide such coverage. 
  
 14. Contract Rights Not Exclusive. The rights to payment of
Indemnifiable Amounts and advancement of Indemnifiable Expenses provided by this Agreement shall be in addition to, but not exclusive of, any other rights which Indemnitee may have at any time under applicable law, the Charter or By-laws, or any
other agreement, vote of stockholders or directors (or a committee of directors), or otherwise, both as to action in Indemnitee’s official capacity and as to action in any other capacity as a result of Indemnitee’s serving as a director or
officer of the Company. 
  
 15. Successors. This
Agreement shall be (a) binding upon all successors and assigns of the Company (including any transferee of all or a substantial portion of the business, stock and/or assets of the Company and any direct or indirect successor by merger or
consolidation or otherwise by operation of law) and (b) binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, personal representatives, executors and administrators of Indemnitee. This Agreement shall continue for the benefit of Indemnitee and
such heirs, personal representatives, executors and administrators after Indemnitee has ceased to have Corporate Status. 
  
 16. Subrogation. In the event of any payment of Indemnifiable Amounts under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of
such payment to all of the rights of contribution or recovery of Indemnitee against other persons, and Indemnitee shall take, at the request of the Company, all reasonable action necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such
documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights. 
  
 17. Change in Law. To the extent that a change in [Maryland] law or other applicable law or regulation (whether by statute or judicial decision) shall permit broader indemnification or advancement of
expenses than is provided under the terms of the By-laws and this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to such broader indemnification and advancements, and this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to such extent. 
  
 18. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this
Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement, or any clause thereof, shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or
unenforceable, in whole or in part, such provision or clause shall be limited or modified in its application to the minimum extent necessary to make such provision or clause valid, legal and enforceable, and the remaining provisions and clauses of
this Agreement shall remain fully enforceable and binding on the parties. 
  
 19. Indemnitee as Plaintiff. Except as provided in Section 10 of this Agreement and in the next sentence of this Section 19, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to payment of Indemnifiable Amounts or
advancement of Indemnifiable Expenses with respect to any Proceeding brought by Indemnitee against the Company, any Entity which it controls, any 

  

 9 

 
director or officer thereof, or any third party, unless the Board of Directors of the Company has consented to the initiation of such Proceeding. This
Section shall not apply to counterclaims or affirmative defenses asserted by Indemnitee in an action brought against Indemnitee. 
  
 20. Modifications and Waiver. Except as provided in Section 17 above with respect to changes in [Maryland] law which broaden the right of
Indemnitee to be indemnified by the Company, no supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by each of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed
or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions of this Agreement (whether or not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver. 
  
 21. General Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been
duly given (a) when delivered by hand, (b) when transmitted by facsimile and receipt is acknowledged, or (c) if mailed by certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the third business day after the date on which it is so mailed:

 22. Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Service of Process. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of [Maryland] without regard to its rules of conflict of laws. Each of
the Company and the Indemnitee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of [Maryland] and the courts of the United States of America located in the State of [Maryland] (the
“[Maryland] Courts”) for any litigation arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (and agrees not to commence any litigation relating thereto except in such courts), waives any objection to the
laying of venue of any such litigation in the [Maryland] Courts and agrees not to plead or claim in any [Maryland] Court that such litigation brought therein has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of the parties hereto agrees, (a) to the
extent such party is not otherwise subject to service of process in the State of [Maryland], to appoint and maintain an agent in the State of [Maryland] as such party’s 

  

 10 

 
agent for acceptance of legal process, and (b) that service of process may also be made on such party by prepaid certified mail with a proof of mailing
receipt validated by the United States Postal Service constituting evidence of valid service. Service made pursuant to (a) or (b) above shall have the same legal force and effect as if served upon such party personally within the State of
[Maryland]. [For purposes of implementing the parties’ agreement to appoint and maintain an agent for service of process in the State of Maryland, each such party does hereby appoint Corporation Trust Incorporated, 300 East Lombard Street,
Baltimore, Maryland 21202, as such agent and each such party hereby agrees to complete all actions necessary for such appointment.]

expressly waives, relinquishes and releases any right or remedy available to it at law, in equity or under this Agreement to make a claim against Seller for damages that Purchaser may incur, or to rescind this Agreement and the transaction

actual Knowledge that any of the representations or warranties made herein by Seller are untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect, which for purposes of this Subsection (w) shall mean (i) any representations or warranties are untrue,
inaccurate or incorrect, and the aggregate cost to cure the same or aggregate result of the same shall have an adverse effect on Owner and/or the Property in excess of $500,000 (such amount to be determined in the aggregate with the cost to cure or
correct the adverse effect of any untrue, inaccurate or incorrect representations or warranties of the sellers under one or more of the Related Agreements) or (ii) such representation or warranty is untrue, inaccurate or incorrect due to the willful
or intentional action or inaction (where there is a duty to act) of Seller or Owner (regardless of its financial impact), Purchaser shall give Seller written notice thereof within five (5) days of obtaining such Knowledge (but, in any event, prior
to the Closing). If at or prior to the Closing, Seller obtains Knowledge (whether pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence or otherwise) that any of the representations or warranties made herein by Seller are untrue, inaccurate or incorrect
and the aggregate cost to cure the same or aggregate result of the same is reasonably estimated to have an adverse effect on Owner and/or the Property in excess of $500,000 (such amount to be determined in the aggregate with the cost to cure or
correct the adverse effect of any untrue, inaccurate or incorrect representations or warranties of the sellers under one or more of the Related Agreements), Seller shall give Purchaser written notice thereof within five (5) days of obtaining such

which commercially reasonable efforts shall include the expenditure of up to $5,000,000 (less any amounts previously expended by the sellers under one or
more of the Related Agreements to cure or correct the adverse effect of any breaches or inaccuracies of any representations or warranties thereunder) in the aggregate for the cure or correction of all such breaches or inaccuracies and/or mitigate
the adverse effect on the Property or Owner arising therefrom; provided, however, that such $5,000,000 limitation shall not apply to Seller’s obligation to make any payment or take any action necessary to cure or mitigate any untrue, inaccurate

contemplated hereby without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price, other than the reasonable cost to cure such representations or warranties and/or mitigate the adverse effect on Owner and the Property arising from the breach of the
representations or warranties up to a maximum of $5,000,000 (less any amounts previously expended by the sellers under one or more of the Related Agreements to cure or correct the adverse effect of any breaches or inaccuracies of any representations
or warranties thereunder) in the aggregate (other than with respect to any matter described in item (ii) above, as to which the amount of such adjustment shall be uncapped) or (B) to terminate this Agreement by written notice given to Seller, in
which event this Agreement shall be terminated, the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser and Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for its actual, reasonable, third party costs and expenses, not to exceed $500,000 (less any amounts previously
reimbursed by the sellers under one or more of the Related Agreements for the actual, reasonable, third party costs and expenses of the purchasers thereunder) in the aggregate; provided, however, that with respect to any matter described in item
(ii) above, Purchaser also shall be entitled to liquidated damages in the amount of $2,500,000 (less any liquidated damages previously paid by the sellers under one or more of the Related Agreements as a result of any the representations or
warranties of the sellers thereunder being incorrect due to such sellers’ willful or intentional action or inaction (where there is a duty to act)), the parties hereto agreeing that the damages by reason of Seller’s or Owner’s willful
or intentional action or inaction (where there is a duty to act) are difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain, and thereafter, neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except as provided in any section hereof that by
its terms expressly provides that it survives any termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, Purchaser hereby agrees (which obligation shall survive the Closing) to refund to Seller the excess, if any, of any (x) adjustment to the
Purchase Price attributable to the anticipated cost to cure such representations or warranties and/or mitigate the adverse effect on Owner and the Property arising from the breach of the representations or warranties over (y) the actual cost
incurred in connection with the cure and/or mitigation of the same.

equal suitability and value, free and clear of any lien or security interest. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that to the extent Seller has no approval rights over such 

  

 19 

 
matters pursuant to the Management Agreement and Manager, without Seller’s prior consent, performs and alterations to the Property or removes any
equipment or personal property forming a part of the Property, such action by Manager alone shall not cause or give rise to a default under this Agreement. Failure of Purchaser to consent or expressly withhold its consent stating with specificity

 (b) Seller will not sell or enter into any other contract to sell all or a portion of its interest in Owner nor permit Owner to seller to enter into any
contract to sell the Property or any portion thereof, other than other than FF&E, FAS and Inventories in the ordinary course, nor create or suffer the imposition of any further liens or encumbrances or restrictions on Owner, the Property or any

Purchaser to consent or expressly withhold its consent stating with specificity the basis of its objection within five (5) Business Days after written request for such consent shall be deemed to constitute consent. 
  
 (d) With respect to the Property, Seller shall cause the Owner (and Owner
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Manager) to comply in all material respects, with (i) all laws, regulations and other requirements affecting the Property from time to time applicable of every governmental body having jurisdiction

Management Agreement and Manager, without Seller’s prior consent, takes any action or fails to take any action which causes a representation or warranty contained in Section 6 to become untrue, such action by Manager alone shall not
cause or give rise to a default under this Agreement.

the cure of the same. Seller will advise Purchaser of any written notice Seller or Owner, or, to Seller’s knowledge, Manager, receives after the Effective Date from any governmental authority relating to the violation of any law or ordinance

Purchaser’s and Purchaser’s prospective lenders’ engineers, architects, employees, agents and representatives (collectively, “Purchaser’s Agents”) reasonable access to the Property and to the records of the

records relating to revenues and operating expenses; (iii) inspecting the physical condition of the Property and conducting non-intrusive physical or environmental inspections of the Property; and (iv) reviewing at Seller’s offices such other
records and information of Seller or Owner with respect to the Property or Owner in the possession or control of Seller or Owner as Purchaser shall reasonably request to review and examine in connection with the inspections and reviews contemplated

intrusive testing of, on or under the Property without first obtaining Seller’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) as to the timing and scope of work to be performed. Seller shall provide Purchaser and
Purchaser’s Agents with reasonable access to interview Manager, on no less than two Business Days’ prior notice, provided Seller shall be permitted to cause one or more of its representatives to be present at any such interview, and shall

 (b) Purchaser agrees that, in making any intrusive or
non-intrusive physical or environmental inspections of the Property, Purchaser and all of Purchaser’s Agents entering onto the Property shall carry not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) commercial general liability insurance
insuring all activity and conduct of Purchaser and such representatives while exercising such right of access. Seller and Owner shall be named as an additional insureds on such commercial general liability policy. Purchaser will use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to Seller written evidence of the same prior to commencing any investigations. 
  
 (c) Purchaser agrees that in exercising its right of access hereunder, Purchaser will use and will cause Purchaser’s Agents to use their commercially
reasonable efforts not to interfere with the activity of tenants, transient guests or any Persons occupying or providing service at the Property. Purchaser shall, at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to inspection, give Seller notice of its
intention to conduct any inspections, so that Seller shall have an opportunity to have a representative present during any such inspection, and Seller expressly reserves the right to have such a representative present. Purchaser agrees to cooperate
with any reasonable request by Seller in connection with the timing of any such inspection. If the transaction contemplated herein does not close through no fault of Seller, upon Seller’s request, Purchaser agrees (which agreement shall survive
Closing or termination of this Agreement) to provide Seller with a copy of any and all final reports (other than financial feasibility or marketing reports) (or, in the event that final reports are not obtained by Purchaser, a copy of the last draft
or preliminary report provided to Purchaser), including such backup documentation as may be available to Purchaser, prepared by Purchaser and/or Purchaser’s Agents to perform activities 

  

 22 

 
permitted herein, except to the extent Purchaser, in its reasonable judgment, believes it is legally prohibited from delivering such materials to Seller.

  
 (d) Purchaser shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly
restore any physical damage or alteration of the physical condition of the Property which results from any inspections conducted by or on behalf of Purchaser, which obligation shall survive termination of this Agreement. Purchaser further agrees to

indemnify and hold Seller, Owner and Seller’s Affiliates harmless from any and all liability, claims, actions, demands, damages, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) Seller may suffer arising from the actions
of Purchaser or Purchaser’s Agents in inspecting the physical condition of the Property prior to Closing; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be required to indemnify, hold harmless or defend Seller, Owner or Seller’s
Affiliates to the extent any such losses arise solely out of any pre-existing condition at the Property. The provisions of this Section 11(d) shall survive the Closing and shall not be merged therein. 
  
 (e) Prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall at
its sole cost and expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to complete audits of the Property and each of the properties which are the subject of the Related Agreements. At no cost to Seller, Seller shall cooperate in good faith to assist
Purchaser in Purchaser’s obtaining (at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense) audited financial statements for the operation of the hotel operated from the Real Property and the hotels that are the subject of the Related Agreements (the
“Audited Financial Statements”), which audited financial statements must comply with Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), prepared by KPMG LLP or another
so-called “Big Four” accounting firm. Such cooperation by Seller shall include the execution by Seller of a so-called “auditor’s representation letter,” in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto, for the benefit of the
preparer of the Audited Financial Statements; provided, however, in no event shall the delivery of such an “auditor’s representation letter” be deemed to subject Seller or any of its Affiliates or their respective partners, members,
managers, shareholders, officers, directors, trustees, beneficiaries, employees or agents to any liability under the Securities Act as an “issuer” or “underwriter.” 
  
 (f) Purchaser shall have the right to proceed with the purchase contemplated by this Agreement, or to terminate this
Agreement as provided in this Section 11(f) if, in its sole discretion and for any reason whatsoever, Purchaser deems the Property, or any aspect thereof, to be unsatisfactory. Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by giving Seller written
notice of such determination on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on May 6, 2005 (the period from the Effective Date to and including May 6, 2005 is hereinafter referred to as the “Due Diligence Period”). If Purchaser fails to so
notify Seller of Purchaser’s election to terminate, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11 and shall remain obligated to consummate the purchase contemplated by this
Agreement. Purchaser’s failure to notify Seller of Purchaser’s election to terminate on or before expiration of the Due Diligence Period shall constitute a waiver by Purchaser of its right to terminate by reason of this Section 11
and the Earnest Money shall be non-refundable, except as otherwise provided herein, but credited to the Purchase Price if this transaction closes. If Purchaser gives 

  

 23 

 
Seller written notice on or before the last day of the Due Diligence Period of Purchaser’s election to terminate this Agreement, then this Agreement
shall be deemed terminated and, thereafter, upon notice by Purchaser to Title Company, the Earnest Money shall be delivered to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further liability to the other hereunder except for any provisions which are
expressly stated to survive the termination hereof. 
  
 (g)
Provided this Agreement has not terminated in accordance with Section 11(f), upon the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted the Property in its condition as of the end of the Due Diligence Period
(subject to Purchaser’s rights pursuant to any conditions to the Closing, representation and warranties, indemnities are similar matter provided for hereunder), and Purchaser shall be deemed to represent to Seller that Purchaser has concluded
whatever studies, tests and investigations Purchaser desires relating to the Property, and that Purchaser has waived its right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11. Except to the extent expressly provided herein to the contrary,
Seller shall have no obligation to bring any action or proceeding or otherwise to incur any expense whatsoever to eliminate any alleged deficiency in the Property discovered by Purchaser during the Due Diligence Period and Purchaser shall be deemed
to have waived any claim with respect thereto. 
  
 (g) Except as
specifically provided elsewhere in this Agreement, Seller makes no representations or warranties as to the truth, accuracy, completeness, methodology of preparation or otherwise concerning the Property Information or any engineering or environmental
reports or any other materials, data or other information supplied to Purchaser in connection with Purchaser’s inspection of the Property (e.g., that such materials are complete, accurate or the final version thereof, or that such materials are
all of such materials as are in Seller’s possession). It is the parties’ express understanding and agreement that such materials are provided only for Purchaser’s convenience in making its own examination and determination as to
whether it wishes to consummate the purchase contemplated by this Agreement. In all events, Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees not to disclose to third parties the Property Information or the results of any reports of investigations or tests
concerning the Property performed by or at the request of Purchaser (the “Purchaser’s Results”), except to the extent required under applicable law. The Property Information and Purchaser’s Results are hereinafter referred
to collectively as the “Due Diligence Documentation.” The foregoing covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 
  
 (i) Unless Seller expressly otherwise agrees in writing or as required under applicable laws, Purchaser agrees that the Due Diligence Documentation
(exclusive of any matters that are publicly available) is confidential and shall not be disclosed to any other Person except those assisting Purchaser or Purchaser’s prospective lenders with the transaction or employees of the Securities and
Exchange Commission in connection with Purchaser’s initial public offering process, and affiliates of Purchaser, and then only upon Purchaser making such Persons aware of the confidentiality restriction and directing such Persons to comply with
the confidentiality obligations contained herein. Prior to Closing, Purchaser agrees not to use or allow to be used any such Due Diligence Documentation for any purpose other than to determine whether to proceed with the contemplated purchase. In
the event Purchaser becomes legally compelled to disclose all or any part of the Due Diligence Documentation, Purchaser will provide Seller with prompt written notice so that Seller may seek a protective order or other 

  

 24 

 
appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained
prior to the time Purchaser is obligated to disclose all or any part of the Due Diligence Documentation, Seller will waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement to allow Purchaser to comply with such legal obligations. 
  
 (j) Purchaser hereby agrees that prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser will
not release or cause or permit to be released any press notices, or otherwise announce or disclose or cause or permit to be announced or disclosed, in any manner whatsoever, the terms, conditions or substance of this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated herein, without first obtaining the written consent of Seller. It is understood that the foregoing shall not preclude Purchaser from discussing the substance or any relevant details of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement to
the extent such matters are publicly available or with any of its attorneys, accountants, professional consultants, or employees of the Securities and Exchange Commission, analysts, underwriters, lenders or potential investors (and any attorneys,
accountants, professional consultants or employees of the same) in connection with Purchaser’s initial public offering, as the case may be, or prevent Purchaser hereto from complying with any applicable laws, including, without limitation,
governmental regulatory, disclosure, tax and securities reporting requirements. 
  
 (k) Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller, Owner and Seller’s Affiliates harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action and actual losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements) suffered or incurred by Seller, Owner or any of Seller’s Affiliates and arising out of or in connection with a breach by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Agents of the
provisions of this Section 11. In addition to any other remedies available to Seller, Seller shall have the right to seek equitable relief, including, without limitation, injunctive relief or specific performance, against Purchaser or
Purchaser’s Agents in order to enforce the provisions of this Section 11. 
  
 (l) In the event this Agreement is terminated or fails to close for any reason whatsoever, upon Seller’s request, Purchaser and Purchaser’s Agents shall promptly deliver to Seller copies of the Due Diligence
Documentation in the possession of Purchaser and Purchaser’s Agents, except with respect to those items that Purchaser, in its reasonable judgment, believes is proprietary information of the Person that prepared such materials or otherwise it
is legally prohibited from delivering such materials to Seller. 
  
 (m) The provisions of this Section 11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 (c) PURCHASER, FOR PURCHASER AND PURCHASER’S SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, HEREBY FULLY AND IRREVOCABLY RELEASES SELLER, OWNER AND SELLER’S AFFILIATES
FROM, AND WAIVES ALL CLAIMS AND LIABILITY AGAINST SELLER, OWNER AND SELLER’S AFFILIATES FOR OR ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE FOLLOWING:

 (c) Purchaser’s failure, for any reason whatsoever, to elect to terminate this Agreement shall be deemed an acknowledgment by Purchaser that
Purchaser has inspected the Property, is thoroughly acquainted with and accepts its condition, and has reviewed, to the extent necessary in its discretion, all the Due Diligence Documentation. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of
this Section 12 were a material factor in Seller’s acceptance of the Purchase Price and Seller is unwilling to consummate the transaction contemplated by this 

  

 27 

 
Agreement unless Seller, Owner and Seller’s Affiliates are expressly released, but only to the extent expressly set forth herein. 
  
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the provisions of this
Section 12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Closing and shall not be merged therein. 
  
 13. Casualty; Condemnation. 
  
 (a) Seller agrees to give Purchaser prompt notice (a) of any pending or threatened condemnation affecting the Property of which Seller or Owner becomes
aware, (b) if all or any part of the Property becomes subject to litigation or if Seller or Owner becomes subject to litigation that would affect Seller’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement, and (c) of any Damage Event.

  
 (b) If, prior to the Closing, (a) condemnation proceedings are
commenced or threatened in writing against all or any portion of the Property (other than an incidental condemnation that does not affect the operation of or access to the Property); or (b) if all or any part of the Property becomes subject to
litigation that, if adversely determined, would materially and adversely affect the use or value of the Property to Purchaser or if Seller or Owner becomes subject to litigation that would materially and adversely impair Seller’s ability to
perform its obligations under this Agreement, then Purchaser will have the right, upon notice in writing to Seller delivered within ten (10) days after Seller gives Purchaser written notice of such matter as described in this Section 13, to
terminate this Agreement, whereupon this Agreement will be of no further force or effect, except as expressly set forth herein. If Purchaser does not elect, or is not entitled, to terminate this Agreement, Purchaser will be entitled to the
condemnation award and/or an assignment of all of Seller’s rights in and to such condemnation and/or litigation proceedings (to the extent that any such litigation relates to the physical condition of the Property and not to Seller and not to
the operations of the Property prior to the Closing), as the case may be. 
  
 (c) If, prior to the Closing, the Property is damaged by fire or other casualty or any operational component of the Property (such as, by way of example only, an operational component would include respective
constituent parts of the elevator system, the heating, air-conditioning and ventilating system or the roof) fails for any reason, including wear and tear or age (collectively, a “Damage Event”) then Purchaser will have the following
rights with respect to each such Damage Event: 
  
 (1) If the cost of repairing and/or replacing the portion of the Property affected by such Damage Event will be $2,500,000.00 or more (as determined by an architect or general contractor mutually acceptable to Purchaser and Seller), then
Purchaser will have the right, upon notice in writing to Seller delivered within ten (10) days after Seller gives Purchaser written notice of such Damage Event, to: (i) receive a credit at Closing in an amount equal to any and all insurance policy
deductibles applicable to Seller in connection with such Damage Event, and receive an assignment of Owner’s right to Owner’s insurance proceeds, if any (and Seller will cooperate with Purchaser to ascertain within the ten (10) day period
described above whether and to what extent such insurance will apply to the Damage Event); provided, however, 

  

 28 

 
that if Purchaser receives insurance proceeds in excess of the amount necessary to repair or replace such portion of the Property affected by the Damage
Event (taking into account the credit received at the Closing), Purchaser will refund any such excess insurance proceeds to Owner; or (ii) terminate this Agreement. 
  
 (2) If the cost of repairing and/or replacing the portion of the Property affected by such Damage Event will
be less than $2,500,000.00 (as determined by an architect or general contractor mutually acceptable to Purchaser and Seller), then the following will apply: (i) if as a result of the Damage Event, the Property cannot be or is not operated in
accordance with Owner’s historical standards (such as, for example, the Property is not open to the public or access to the Property (whether for pedestrians or vehicles) is materially impaired, then Seller shall cause Owner to repair and/or
replace the portion of the Property affected by such Damage Event and the Closing will be delayed until the fifth (5th) Business Day following date that the Property is again operated in accordance with Owner’s historical standards; provided,
however, that such delay in the Closing Date will not exceed ninety (90) days, and if such delay exceeds ninety (90) days, Purchaser will have the option, upon notice in writing to Seller delivered within ten (10) days after the expiration of such
ninety (90) day period, to terminate this Agreement; or (ii) if, after such Damage Event, the Property continues to be operated in a manner consistent with Owner’s historical standards, then at Seller’s election, Seller can either (A)
cause Owner to repair and/or replace the portion of the Property affected by such Damage Event and extend the Closing Date until the date that is five (5) Business Days following the date that Owner completes such repair and/or such replacement
(provided, however, such delay in the Closing Date will not exceed ninety (90) days, and if such delay exceeds ninety (90) days, Purchaser will have the option, upon notice in writing to Seller delivered within ten (10) days after the expiration of
such ninety (90) day period, to terminate this Agreement) or (B) proceed to the Closing and provide Purchaser with a credit at the Closing in the amount necessary to repair and/or replace the portion of the Property affected by the Damage Event, as
such amount is determined by an architect or general contractor mutually acceptable to Purchaser and Seller. 
  
 (d) In the event of any dispute under Section 13(c) of this Agreement solely concerning the selection of an architect or engineer, either party
shall have the right to submit such dispute to arbitration in the City of New York under the Expedited Procedures provisions of the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) (presently Rules 56
through 60 and, to the extent applicable, Section 19); provided, however, that with respect to any such arbitration, (i) the list of arbitrators referred to in Rule 57 shall be returned within 5 days from the date of mailing; (ii) the
parties shall notify the AAA by telephone, within 4 days of any objections to the arbitrator appointed and will have no right to object if the arbitrator so appointed was on the list submitted by the AAA and was not objected to in accordance with
the second paragraph of Rule 57; (iii) the Notice of Hearing referred to in Rule 58 shall be 4 days in advance of the hearing; (iv) the hearing shall be held within 5 days after the appointment of the arbitrator; (v) except as set forth in the next
grammatical paragraph, the arbitrator shall have no right to award damages; and (vi) the decision and award of the arbitrator shall be final and conclusive on the parties. THE TIME PERIODS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 13(d) ARE OF THE ESSENCE.
If any party fails to appear at a duly scheduled and noticed hearing, the arbitrator is hereby expressly authorized to enter judgment for the appearing party. 
  

 29 

 The arbitrators conducting any arbitration shall be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and shall
not have the power to add to, subtract from, or otherwise modify such provisions. Seller and Purchaser agree to sign all documents and to do all other things necessary to submit any such matter to arbitration and further agree to, and hereby do,
waive any and all rights they or either of them may at any time have to revoke their agreement hereunder to submit to arbitration and to abide by the decision rendered thereunder which shall be binding and conclusive on the parties and shall
constitute an “award” by the arbitrator within the meaning of the AAA rules and applicable law. Judgment may be had on the decision and award of the arbitrators so rendered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each arbitrator shall be a
qualified, disinterested and impartial person who shall have had at least 10 years experience in a calling connected with the matter of the dispute. Seller and Purchaser shall each have the right to appear and be represented by counsel before said
arbitrators and to submit such data and memoranda in support of their respective positions in the matter in dispute as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate under the circumstances. Each party hereunder shall pay its own costs, fees and
expenses in connection with any arbitration or other action or proceeding brought under this Section 13(d), and the expenses and fees of the arbitrators selected shall be shared equally by Seller and Purchaser. Notwithstanding any contrary
provisions hereof, Seller and Purchaser agree that, except with respect to a finding that consent was withheld arbitrarily or in bad faith, (i) the arbitrators may not award or recommend any damages to be paid by either party and (ii) in no event
shall either party be liable for, nor shall either party be entitled to recover, any damages. Neither party shall have ex parte communications with any arbitrator selected under this Section 13(d) following his or her selection and pending
completion of the arbitration hereunder. 
  
 (e) In the case of
any termination by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 13, Purchaser shall be entitled to the return of the Earnest Money and this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect, except as expressly set forth herein. 
  
 (f) Subject to the provisions of this Section 13, the risk of loss or
damage to the Property will remain with Seller until the Closing. 
  
 14. The
Closing.

this Agreement);

 (4) Such other documents and instruments as may reasonably

 (d) Title Company’s fee for the escrow shall be divided equally between Seller and Purchaser. In the event that any transfer taxes are imposed on
this transaction, the parties agree to deliver any required declarations; the cost of such transfer taxes, together with any recording fees and sales taxes, shall be borne by Seller. 
  
 (e) The parties agree to adjust the Purchase Price by an amount equal to a proration of taxes, rental, and other income, and
operating or other expenses of the Property as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date (i.e., Purchaser is entitled to the income and responsible for the expenses on the Closing Date) computed as follows: 
  
 (1) Certain costs and expenses relating to the Property
shall be adjusted as of the Closing Date between Seller and Purchaser (the “Closing Date Adjustment”). The Closing Date Adjustment shall constitute a composite accounting of the different items described below. The intent is to
credit or charge, as the case may be, Seller with all revenues and expenses respecting the Property which are attributable to operations before the Closing Date and to credit or charge, as the case may be, Purchaser with all such revenues and
expenses attributable to operations on and after the Closing Date. Seller shall be responsible for and agrees to pay all accounts payable through the date preceding the Closing Date. Unless otherwise provided for herein, all revenues and expenses
shall be separately accounted for as between Seller and Purchaser as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date (the “Apportionment Time”). No later than forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date and again at one hundred twenty (120) days
after the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser shall review all the amounts and calculations made in respect of the Closing Date Adjustment and any final corrections shall be made to the Closing Date Adjustment, and Seller and Purchaser at that time
shall settle any funds owed to each other. If Seller and Purchaser, each acting reasonably and in good faith, cannot resolve any issue with respect to the adjustments described in this section, they shall submit such issue for binding resolution by
a nationally recognized accounting firm mutually acceptable to both parties (“Accounting Firm”). The parties shall bear equally all fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm in connection with the resolution of such issue, and each
party shall bear its own legal, accounting and other fees and expenses incurred in connection with the resolution of the issue by the Accounting Firm. Such resolution shall be final and binding on the parties and judgment may be entered upon such
resolution in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Seller and Purchaser agree that the proceeding described in this section shall be conducted in Bethesda, Maryland. By way of example, and not in limitation, the following items shall be accounted
for in calculating the Closing Date Adjustment: (i) the total amount of security deposits held by Owner under any of the space leases shall be credited to Purchaser by Seller; (ii) prepaid rents and all room and other deposits and advance payments
under booking arrangements and for use 

  

 33 

 
of the Property facilities after the Closing Date shall be credited to Purchaser. At Closing, Purchaser shall execute a receipt for such deposits and prepaid
rents and shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against all claims and liabilities pertaining to the application or return of such prepaid rents or deposits; (iii) collected rents and any other amounts received from tenants under space
leases shall be prorated as of the Closing Date; delinquent (or payable but unpaid) rent and other payments from tenants under space leases as of the Closing Date shall not be prorated on the Closing Date. If any tenant is in arrears in the payment
of rent or other fixed charges, any payments on account of rent or such other fixed charges received by Purchaser from such tenant after the Closing Date shall be applied first to rent and other charges due for the month in which such payments are
received and then to preceding months for which such rent and other charges are in arrears (always to the most recent first). If, following the Closing, Seller receives any payments applicable to the period commencing on the Closing Date, Seller
shall immediately pay such amounts to Purchaser. If any payments of rent or other fixed charges received by Seller or Purchaser on or after the Closing Date are payable to the other party by reason of this allocation, such amounts shall be held in
trust for the benefit of the other party and the appropriate sum shall be promptly paid to the other party. At the Closing, Seller shall furnish to Purchaser a complete and correct schedule of all minimum rents and other fixed charges which are then
due and payable but which have not been paid. Percentage rents and other variable charges under space leases, such as payments for real estate taxes and other expenses, which are not fixed in amount, shall be adjusted when and as received based upon
the number of days in the payment period that each party owned the Property. Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect any rent and other charges in arrears, but shall be under no obligation to commence any actions or
proceedings with respect thereto. From and after the date that is six (6) months after the Closing Date, Seller may, at its sole expense, pursue collection efforts, including the bringing of lawsuits, for any delinquent rents or other charges,
provided that Seller may not bring any action to terminate any of the space leases or dispossess or otherwise evict any tenant thereunder; (iv) Seller shall receive a credit in the amount of any reserve account on the Closing Date held by Manager
under the Management Agreement, such credit shall not include a credit for any reserve account with respect to FF&E (the “FF&E Reserve”); (v) all charges and prepayments relating to the Contracts shall be prorated between
Seller and Purchaser as of 12:01 on the Closing Date; (vi) all cash in the operating accounts for the Property (it being understood that such accounts refer to “house banks” and not bank accounts) shall be paid over to Purchaser at Closing
and Seller shall receive a credit therefor in the Closing Date Adjustment; (vii) guest ledger receivables (i.e., amounts, including, without limitation, room charges and charges for food and beverages, accrued to the accounts of guests and other
customers of the Hotel as of the Apportionment Time) shall be prorated between Purchaser and Seller. Seller shall receive a credit for all guest ledger receivables, net of credit card and travel agent and similar commissions, for all room nights and
other charges up to but not including the room night during which the Apportionment Time occurs, and Purchaser shall be entitled to the amounts of guest ledger receivables for the room nights and other charges after the Apportionment Time. The final
night’s room revenue (revenue from rooms occupied on the evening preceding the Closing Date), any taxes thereon, and any in-room telephone, movie and similar charges for such night, shall be allocated 50% to Seller and 50% to Purchaser (and
Seller and Purchaser shall each bear 50% of the credit card charges, travel company charges and similar commissions payable with respect to such revenue). All revenues from restaurants, bars and lounge facilities for the night during which the
Apportionment Time occurs shall belong to Seller 

  

 34 

 
and Seller shall bear all expenses related to such revenues, including but not limited to, payroll and food and beverage costs; (viii) Seller shall receive a
credit for, and Purchaser shall purchase from Seller, all accounts receivable (other than the guest ledger) that are less than one hundred twenty (120) days old. Such credit shall equal the amount of the accounts receivable, less (1) credit card
charges, travel company charges and similar commissions and (2) on all accounts receivable other than credit card receivables, a 3% discount for uncollectible amounts; (ix) Purchaser will receive a credit for all accrued and unpaid obligations of
Seller, Owner and Manager under Manager’s salary and employee benefits arrangements in place as of the Closing for employees at the Property, including without limitation, unemployment compensation benefits, salaries, bonuses, sick leave,
vacation and other similar forms of compensation up to the date of the Closing, including all employer taxes and benefits associated with vacation and sick pay pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Management Agreement; (ix) general real
estate taxes, personal property taxes, special assessments and other governmental taxes and charges relating to the Property (collectively, “Real Estate Taxes”) and assessed for the year in which Closing occurs shall be prorated as
of the Date of Closing and adjusted against the Purchase Price. If Closing occurs before the actual Real Estate Taxes payable during such year are known, the proration of Real Estate Taxes shall be upon the basis of Real Estate Taxes payable during
the immediately preceding year; provided, however, that, if the Real Estate Taxes payable during the year in which Closing occurs are thereafter determined to be more or less than the Real Estate Taxes payable during the preceding year (after
conclusion of any pertinent appeal of assessed valuation, as reasonably determined by Purchaser), Seller and Purchaser promptly (but no later than thirty (30) days after the date final invoices for such Real Estate Taxes are issued by the applicable
taxing authority(ies), except in the case of an ongoing tax protest) shall adjust the proration of Real Estate Taxes, and Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall pay to the other any amount required as a result of such adjustment; (x)
certified governmental liens and all other pending governmental liens shall be paid by Seller; (xi) the parties acknowledge that certain taxes accrue and are payable to the various local governments by any business entity operating a hotel and its
related facilities. Included in those taxes may be business and occupation taxes, retail sales and use taxes, gross receipts taxes, and other special lodging or hotel taxes. For purpose of this Agreement, all of such taxes (hereinafter referred to
as “Operational Taxes”) (expressly excluding Real Estate Taxes, corporate franchise taxes, and federal, state, and local income taxes) shall be allocated between Seller and Purchaser such that those attributable to the period prior
to 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date shall be allocable to Seller and those attributable to the period from and after 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date shall be to Purchaser (with the attribution of such taxes hereunder to be done in a manner consistent
with the attribution under this Agreement of the applicable revenues on which such taxes may be based). Purchaser shall receive a credit for any Operational Taxes attributable to the period prior to 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date which Seller has
not paid. Except for the Operational Taxes for which Purchaser has received a credit under this subsection (xii), Seller shall be solely responsible for payment of the Operational Taxes with respect to the period prior to 12:01 a.m. on the Closing
Date, and Purchaser shall be solely responsible for payment of such Operational Taxes with respect to the period after 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date. Nothing in this subsection (xii) shall limit Seller’s obligation to deliver such notices,
certificates or releases with respect to withholding requirements or other liabilities for income, sales, or other taxes attributable to Seller’s period of ownership, to the extent Purchaser may be held liable therefor under the laws of the
United States Virgin Islands. Seller hereby agrees to indemnify, save and defend, and hold Purchaser 

  

 35 

 
harmless from and against, all claims and liabilities for Operational Taxes attributable to the period prior to 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date for which
Purchaser has not received a credit, and Purchaser agrees to indemnify, save and defend, and hold Seller harmless from and against, all claims and liabilities for Operational Taxes attributable to the period prior to 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date
and for which Purchaser has received a credit under this subsection (xii). Seller agrees to promptly notify the appropriate governmental parties of the Closing hereunder and promptly provide such information as necessary to make a final
determination of Seller’s liability for Operational Taxes; (xiii) Telephone and telex charges and charges for the supply of heat, steam, electric power, gas, lighting, cable television and any other utility service shall be prorated as of the
Apportionment Time between Purchaser and Seller. Seller shall receive a credit for all deposits, if any, made by Seller as security under any such public service contracts if the same are transferable and provided such deposits remain on deposit for
the benefit of Purchaser. Where possible, cutoff readings will be secured for all utilities as of the Closing Date. To the extent cutoff readings are not available, the cost of such utilities shall be apportioned between the parties on the basis of
the latest actual (not estimated) bill for such service; (xiv) permit and license fees of assignable permits and licenses, if any, shall be prorated as of the Closing Date; (xv) Purchaser shall receive a credit for the face value of all unredeemed
gift certificates issued by Seller, Owner or Manager as of the Closing Date; (xvi) Purchaser shall receive a credit for advance payments and deposits, if any, under Advances at the Closing Date; (xvii) Seller shall receive a credit for prepaid
expenses directly or indirectly allocable to any period from and after the Closing Date paid by or on behalf of Seller or Owner to third parties to the extent the same are transferable and remain on deposit for the benefit of Purchaser. With the
exception of prepaid advertising which has not been published, mailed or aired, the Seller will receive no credit for prepaid advertising costs; (xviii) Any amounts prepaid or payable under any Contracts and any other trade payables and receivables
shall be prorated as of the Apportionment Time between Purchaser and Seller. Trade payables should include all amounts payable to Manager. All amounts known to be due under Contracts with reference to periods prior to the Closing Date shall be paid
by Seller or credited to Purchaser. Any additional amounts not known or not available at the Closing will be part of the post closing adjustments contemplated above; (xix) All working capital relating to the Property as of the Closing Date shall be
and remain the property of the Seller and shall not be conveyed to the Purchaser. Purchaser shall be solely responsible for funding the working capital for the Property required by the Management Agreement; and (xx) other costs, expenses and charges
which are of a type as are usually involved in and adjusted with regard to property similar to and located in the locale of the Property. 
  
 (2) Prorations hereunder shall, where applicable, be made on the basis of a 365 day year and, for any month, on the basis of the number of
days elapsed. If any of the foregoing cannot be apportioned at the Closing because of the unavailability of the amounts which are to be prorated, unless otherwise provided for herein, such items shall be prorated as soon as practicable after the
Closing Date. 
  
 (f) Each party shall be responsible for the
payment of its own attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the transaction which is the subject of this Agreement. 
  

 36 

 15. Default; Indemnification. 
  
 (a) If (i) Seller or Owner shall default in any of its material obligations to be performed on the Closing Date or (ii)
Seller or Owner shall default in the performance of any of its material obligations to be performed prior to the Closing Date and, with respect to any default under this clause (ii) only, such default shall continue for 5 days after notice to
Seller, Purchaser shall have the right to elect, as its sole remedies, to (A) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, promptly after which the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser (provided Purchaser is not in default in any
material respect hereunder), and Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for its actual, reasonable, third-party costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement, not to exceed $500,000 (less any amounts previously reimbursed by the sellers
under one or more of the Related Agreements for the actual, reasonable, third party costs and expenses of the purchasers thereunder) in the aggregate, (B) waive the condition and proceed to close the transaction, or (C) seek specific performance of
this Agreement by Seller and Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for its actual, reasonable, third-party costs and expenses incurred in enforcing such remedy; provided, however, that as a condition precedent to Purchaser exercising any right it may
have to bring an action for specific performance as the result of Seller’s failure or refusal to perform its obligations hereunder, Purchaser must commence such an action within sixty (60) days after Purchaser has Knowledge of such default.
Purchaser agrees that its failure to timely commence such an action for specific performance within such sixty (60) day period shall be deemed a waiver by it of its right to commence such an action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller, Owner or
the sellers under any Related Agreement intentionally breaches or intentionally fails to take an action solely within the control of Seller, Owner or such other seller(s) that Seller, Owner or such other seller(s) is/are obligated to take under this
Agreement or any Related Agreement and as a result thereof Purchaser’s ability to close the transaction contemplated under this Agreement or any Related Agreement is materially impaired, Purchaser shall have the right to commence a suit against
Seller and/or such other seller(s) for monetary damages in an amount not to exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) in the aggregate, as liquidated damages, it being understood that Purchaser’s actual damages in the event of such default are
difficult to ascertain and that such proceeds represent the parties’ best current estimate of such. 
  
 (b) If (i) Purchaser shall default in the payment of the Purchase Price or if Purchaser shall default in the performance of any of its other material
obligations to be performed on the Closing Date, or (ii) Purchaser shall default in the performance of any of its material obligations to be performed prior to the Closing Date and, with respect to any default under this clause (ii) only, such
default shall continue for 5 days after notice to Purchaser, then Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be to cause Title Company to deliver the Earnest Money to Seller, the amount thereof being fixed as liquidated damages, it being
understood that Seller’s actual damages in the event of such default are difficult to ascertain and that such proceeds represent the parties’ best current estimate of such. Seller shall have no other remedy for any other default by
Purchaser. 
  
 (c) Subject to any express provisions of this
Agreement to the contrary (including, without limitation, Section 12(c)), from and after the Closing, (i) Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and any partner, member, manager, officer, director, trustee, beneficiary, employee or agent
of Purchaser (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnitees”) from and against any 

  

 37 

 
and all obligations, claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees
and disbursements) to the extent arising out of (A) events or contractual obligations, acts, or omissions of Owner or Seller that occurred in connection with the ownership or operation of the Property or Owner prior to the Closing Date and for which
Purchaser did not receive a credit at Closing in the full amount of such liability, (B) any damage to property or injury to or death of any person occurring on or about or in connection with the Property or any portion thereof at any time or times
prior to the Closing Date for which Owner did not have adequate insurance on the date of Closing, or (C) subject to the limitations set forth herein, a breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller hereunder or in any certificate delivered
by Seller hereunder, and (ii) Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and any partner, member, manager, officer, director, trustee, beneficiary, employee or agent of Seller (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) from
and against any and all obligations, claims, losses, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements) to the extent arising out of (A) events, contractual
obligations, acts or omissions of Purchaser or Owner for which Purchaser did receive a credit at Closing in the full amount of such liability that occur in connection with the ownership or operation of the Property on or after the Closing Date, or
(B) any damage to property or injury to or death of any person occurring on or about the Property or any portion thereof on or at any time or times after the Closing Date, or (C) subject to the limitations set forth herein, a breach of any
representation or warranty made by Purchaser hereunder or in any certificate delivered by Purchaser hereunder. The provisions of this Section 15(c) shall survive the Closing and the termination of this Agreement. 
  
 (e) Safe Deposit Boxes. On the Closing Date, Seller shall cause the
delivery to Purchaser of all of Seller’s or Owner’s keys to the safe deposit boxes in the hotel operated from the Real Property, together with all receipts and agreements relating to such safe deposit boxes. Seller and Owner shall be
deemed to have delivered the same to the extent such materials are in Manager’s possession on the Closing Date. Immediately after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall send written notices to those Persons who have safe deposit boxes, advising them
of the sale of the Property to Purchaser and requesting the removal and verification of the contents of their safe deposit boxes within three (3) days after the Closing Date and advising that such boxes may be opened if no response is made within
such period. Seller shall have a representative at the Property during such period. All such removals and verifications during said three (3) days shall be under the supervision of a representative or representatives to be agreed upon between
Purchaser and Seller. The boxes of guests who have not responded to such written notice by so removing and verifying the contents thereof shall remain unopened and shall be listed at the end of such three (3) day period, which list shall be signed
by Seller’s and Purchaser’s respective representatives. The boxes of guests who have not responded shall be opened at the end of the third (3rd) day after the Closing Date in the presence of a representative or representatives to be agreed
upon between Purchaser and Seller and the contents recorded. Any such contents so recorded and thereafter remaining in the hands of Manager, Purchaser or Owner and the contents of any unopened boxes shall be the responsibility of the Purchaser and
Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the Seller Indemnitees harmless from and against any and all losses, costs, liens, claims, liabilities or damages (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements)
arising in connection therewith. Seller shall remain responsible for any claims pertaining to property allegedly deposited in safe deposit boxes prior to the Closing Date, opened 

  

 38 

 
during the said three (3) day period but missing from said boxes when opened, and Seller agrees to indemnify and hold the Purchaser Indemnitees harmless from
and against any and all losses, costs, liens, claims, liabilities or damages (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) arising in connection therewith. This Section 15(e) shall survive the Closing or
termination of this Agreement. 
  
 (f) Baggage. On the
Closing Date, representatives of Purchaser and Seller shall take an inventory of (i) all baggage, valises and trunks checked or left in the care of Seller, Owner or Manager. From and after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall be responsible for all
baggage and other items listed in said inventory, together with the contents thereof, and Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold the Seller Indemnitees harmless from and against any and all losses, costs, liens, claims, liabilities or damages
(including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) arising in connection therewith. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, all luggage or other property of guests retained by Seller as security for any
accounts receivable, whether or not at the Property, on the Closing Date, shall not be included in the aforementioned inventory, but at Seller’s option may be left stored at the Property, without any charge or fee of any kind to Seller, and to
the extent the same is not opened by Purchaser, without any liability to Purchaser, or, at its option, Seller may at or after the Closing Date, at its sole cost and expense, remove same from the Property and upon such removal Seller agrees to
indemnify and hold the Purchaser Indemnities harmless from and against any and all losses, costs, liens, claims, liabilities or damages (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) on account thereof. This
Section 12(f) shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement. 
  
 (g) In the case of any claim asserted by a third party which claim is subject to indemnification by the either party hereunder, (a “Third-Party Claim”), the party seeking indemnification (the
“Indemnitee”) shall notify the other party (the “Indemnitor”) promptly after has actual knowledge of any such Third-Party Claim as to which indemnity may be sought (provided that failure to so notify shall not
affect the Indemnitor’s obligations hereunder except to the extent materially prejudiced by such failure), and Indemnitee shall permit the Indemnitor, at its sole expense, to assume the defense of any such Third-Party Claim, provided
that Indemnitee may participate in such defense or administration at Indemnitee’s sole expense (provided, however, that if a conflict of interest exists such that separate counsel must be engaged by Indemnitee and the Indemnitor, the Indemnitor
shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and costs for such counsel for Indemnitee). The Indemnitor, in the defense of any such Third-Party Claim, shall not, except with the consent of Indemnitee, which Indemnitee agrees will not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed with respect to a monetary settlement, judgment or relief, (a) consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that provides for injunctive or other non-monetary relief against Indemnitee or (b) pursue
any course of defense of any such Third-Party Claim subject to indemnification hereunder if Indemnitee shall reasonably and in good faith determine that the conduct of such defense could be expected to adversely affect in any material respect
Indemnitee, its direct or indirect owners, the use of the Property or Interest to which the Third-Party Claim relates. In addition, if the Indemnitor obtains and desires to accept from a party to any such Third-Party Claim an offer to settle the
Third-Party Claim solely for an amount certain, then Indemnitee agrees that if requested by the Indemnitor, Indemnitee will, at its sole expense, assume defense of such Third-Party Claim and thereafter the Indemnitor’s obligation with respect
to such Third-Party Claim 

  

 39 

 
shall not exceed the costs of defense then incurred and the dollar amount of the settlement the Indemnitor proposed to accept immediately prior to such
assumption by Indemnitee, it being agreed between Indemnitee and the Indemnitor that Indemnitee will pay any greater amounts owing and bear any other impositions in excess of those contemplated in the proposed settlement arrangement. In the event
that the Indemnitor does not accept the defense of any matter as above provided, Indemnitee shall have the full right to defend against any such Third-Party Claim or demand and shall be entitled to settle or agree to pay in full such Third-Party
Claim or demand, in its sole discretion. In any event, the Indemnitor and Indemnitee shall cooperate in the defense of any action or claim subject to this Agreement and each agrees to make its records available to the other with respect to such
defense as reasonably requested and to the extent doing so does not compromise any claim of privilege or any other defense available to it. Acceptance of the defense of any Third-Party Claim or of the administration of any Third-Party Claim by the
Indemnitor shall be without prejudice to the Indemnitor’s right to assert at any time before or after accepting such defense or administration that it is not obligated to provide an indemnity, either in whole or in part, with respect to such
Third-Party Claim. In the event that the Indemnitor asserts that it is not obligated to provide an indemnity to Indemnitee with respect to a Third-Party Claim, Indemnitee shall have the right to defend such Third-Party Claim, and if the Indemnitor
is adjudicated liable for indemnifying Indemnitee, the Indemnitor shall reimburse Indemnitee for its out-of-pocket expenses in defending such Third-Party Claim and all settlements and judgments reasonably incurred as a result of such Third-Party
Claim. 
  
 16. Commission. Each party hereto represents and
warrants to the other that it has dealt with no brokers or finders in connection with this transaction, other than Eastdil Realty (the “Broker”). Seller agrees to pay any commission or other compensation due the Broker in accordance
with a separate written agreement with the Broker. The foregoing sentence is not intended to create any third party beneficiary rights. Seller and Purchaser each hereby indemnify, protect and defend and hold the other and, as applicable, the Seller
Indemnitees or Purchaser Indemnitees, harmless from and against all losses, claims, costs, expenses, damages (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees of counsel selected by the indemnified party) resulting from the claims of any broker,
finder, or other such party claiming by, through or under the acts or agreements of the indemnifying party, other than the Broker. Seller hereby indemnifies, protects and defends and holds Purchaser and the Purchaser Indemnitees harmless from and
against all losses, claims, costs, expenses, damages (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees of counsel selected by the indemnified party) resulting from the claims of Broker. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, the obligations of the parties pursuant to this Section 16 shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.
