to the contrary notwithstanding: 
  
 (a)  The Advisor shall refrain from taking any action
which, in its sole judgment made in good faith, would adversely affect the status of the Company as a real estate investment trust as defined in the Code, subject the Company to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, violate any law,
rule or regulation or would otherwise not be permitted by the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company, except if such action shall be ordered by the Board of Directors, in which case the Advisor shall notify promptly the Board of

 (b)  Except as otherwise provided herein, the Advisor shall pay all expenses of performing its
obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the following expenses: 
 

 9 

  
 (i)  employment expenses of the Advisor, including, but

 (b)  25% of the Company’s Company Net Income for such Calendar Year, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

  
 The Independent Directors of the Company may determine that, because of unusual and nonrecurring factors which
they deem sufficient, a higher level of Operating Expenses is justified for such Calendar Year. The Advisor shall be promptly reimbursed for any payments made under this Section 15 if, in any succeeding Calendar Year, the Operating Expenses of the
Company are less than the permitted level of Operating Expenses. 
 

 10 

  
 16.    Advisory
Responsibility.    The Advisor assumes no responsibility under this Agreement other than to render the services called for hereunder in good faith and with integrity, and shall not be responsible for any action of the Company
in following or declining to follow any advice or recommendation of the Advisor. Neither the Advisor, its shareholders, directors, officers nor employees nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person contracting with the Advisor for services and its
shareholders, directors, officers and employees nor any of its Affiliates shall be liable to the Company or its Shareholders, except by reason of acts constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Advisor hereby agrees to look solely to
the assets of the Company for satisfaction of all claims against the Company, and in no event shall any Shareholder, Director, officer or agent of the Company have any personal liability for the obligation of the Company under this Agreement.

  
 17.    Incorporation of the Articles of Incorporation and
Bylaws.    To the extent the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws impose obligations or restrictions on the Advisor or grant the Advisor certain rights which are not set forth in this Agreement, the Advisor shall abide by
such obligations or restrictions and such rights shall inure to the benefit of the Advisor with the same force and effect as if they were set forth herein. 
  
 18.    Fiduciary Duty and Indemnification.    Subject to Section 16, the Advisor shall have a fiduciary relationship to the Shareholders. However, the
Company shall indemnify the Advisor, to the fullest extent permitted by law, for its liabilities and losses arising from the operations of the Company (including its costs and expenses, including legal fees and expenses, incurred in connection with
investigating and defending itself against such liabilities and losses) if the following conditions are met: 
  
 (a)  the Directors have determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct which caused the liability or loss was undertaken in good faith within what the Advisor reasonably believed to be the scope of its employment or
authority and for a purpose which it reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company; 
  
 (b)  the Directors have determined, in good faith, that the liability or loss was not the result of willful misconduct, bad faith, reckless disregard of duties or violation of the criminal law on the part of the Advisor;
and 
  
 (c)  the indemnified amount is recoverable only out of the assets of the Company
and not from the Shareholders. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, indemnification will not be allowed for any
liability imposed by judgment, and costs associated therewith, including attorneys’ fees, arising from or out of a violation of state or federal securities laws associated with the Offering of the Common Shares unless (i) there has been a
successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities laws violations as to the particular indemnitee, or (ii) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the
particular indemnitee or (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against a particular indemnitee.

interest provisions of the Bylaws.

Company.    The Company and the Advisor are not partners or joint ventures with each other, and nothing herein shall be construed to make them such partners or joint ventures or impose any liability as such on either of them.

  
 21.    Other Activities.    Except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, nothing contained herein shall limit the right of the Advisor or any of its officers, directors or employees, whether or not a Director, officer or employee of the Company, to engage in other business activities or to render services of any
kind to any other Person even if such other business activities or services may be in direct competition with the Company.

 Exhibit 10.2 
  
 PROPERTY ACQUISITION/DISPOSITION AGREEMENT 
  
 THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered
into as of the        day of September, 2002, by and between Apple Hospitality Five, Inc., a Virginia corporation (hereinafter referred to as “Owner”), and Apple Suites Realty Group, Inc., a Virginia
corporation (hereinafter referred to as “Agent”). 
  
 W I T N E S S E T H : 
  
 WHEREAS, Owner plans to conduct business as a “real estate investment trust,” and, in connection therewith, plans to,
from time to time, acquire and dispose of real property, including particularly corporate apartments and upper-end, extended-stay hotel properties (hereinafter referred to individually as a “Property” and collectively as the
“Properties”); 
  
 WHEREAS, Owner desires to use the services of Agent as a broker in connection
with the acquisition and disposition of the Properties on the terms set forth in this Agreement; and 
  
 WHEREAS, Owner and Agent desire to enter into this Agreement for the purposes herein contained. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises herein contained, and for other valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: 
  
 1.    Engagement of Agent as Broker for the Properties.    Owner hereby engages Agent as a
broker in connection with the purchase and sale of the Properties, upon the conditions and for the term and compensation herein set forth. All or any portion of the services being performed by Agent may be contracted or subcontracted by Agent to
another company, provided that such company agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. 
  
 2.    Term of Agreement; Renewal.    This Agreement shall be valid for an initial term of five (5) years ending September     , 2007. Unless either party by written
notice sent to the other party at least sixty (60) days before the end of any 5-year term hereof elects not to renew this Agreement, this Agreement shall renew automatically for successive terms of five (5) years on the same terms as contained
herein. 
  
 3.    Acceptance of Engagement.    Agent hereby accepts
its engagement as a broker for the purchase and sale of the Properties and agrees to perform all services necessary to effectuate such purchases and sales which are customarily provided by commercial real estate brokers, and, without limitation,
Agent agrees: 
 

 1 

  
 a.  To supervise, on behalf of Owner, the preparation
of contracts of purchase or sale for each Property, on such terms as are specified by Owner or its duly authorized representatives, and all other documents related thereto or required to effectuate such purchase or sale; 
  
 b.  To coordinate the activities of, and act as liaison between Owner and, independent professionals connected
with the purchase or sale of a Property, including attorneys, appraisers, engineers, inspectors, lenders, if any, and others; 
  
 c.  To assist Owner and its authorized representatives in satisfying any conditions precedent to the purchase or sale of a Property, which shall include contracting on behalf of Owner with
any third parties whose services are required to close any such purchase or sale; 
  
 d.  To represent Owner at the closing of the purchase or sale of a Property, to coordinate the activities of professionals and other third persons connected with such closing, and to supervise the compliance by Owner with
all requirements and customary actions associated with such purchase or sale, including, without limitation, the obtaining of property title insurance, the delivery and recordation of deeds and other instruments of conveyance, and the delivery and
recordation, as required, of any documents evidencing loans obtained or made by Owner; 
  
 e.  Generally to act on behalf of Owner in connection with such purchase or sale as a commercial real estate broker would customarily act with respect to such transaction, including the provision of such additional services
as would normally be provided by such a person. 
  
 4.    Indemnification.    Owner hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Agent against and in respect of any loss, cost or expense (including reasonable investigative expenses and
attorneys’ fees), judgment, award, amount paid in settlement, fine, penalty and liability of any and every kind incurred by or asserted against Agent by reason of or in connection with the engagement of Agent hereunder, the performance by Agent
of the services described herein or the occurrence or existence of any event or circumstance which results or is alleged to have resulted in death or injury to any person or destruction of or damage to any property and any suit, action or proceeding
(whether threatened, initiated or completed) by reason of the foregoing; provided, however, that no such indemnification of Agent shall be made, and Agent shall indemnify and hold Owner harmless against, and to the extent of, any loss that a court
of competent jurisdiction shall, by final adjudication, determine to have resulted from willful misconduct, gross negligence or fraud by or on the part of Agent. 
  
 5.    Compensation of Agent.    Owner shall pay to Agent a real estate commission in connection with each purchase of a Property in an amount equal to two
percent (2%) of the gross purchase price of the Property (which does not include amounts budgeted for repairs and improvements), in consideration of Agent (or any person with whom Agent subcontracts or contracts hereunder) performing the services
provided for in this Agreement in connection with the purchase of the Property. In consideration of Agent (or any person with whom Agent subcontracts or contracts hereunder) performing the services provided for in this Agreement in
 
 

 2 

 
connection with the sale of a Property, Owner shall pay to Agent the following: a real estate commission in connection with the sale of a Property in an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the
gross sales price of the Property, if, but only if, the sales price of the Property exceeds the sum of (A) the Company’s cost for the Property (consisting of the original purchase price plus all capitalized costs and expenditures connected with
the Property), without any reduction for depreciation, and (B) ten percent (10%) of such cost. If the sales price of the Property does not equal such amount, Agent shall be entitled only to payment by the Company of its “direct costs”
incurred in marketing such property (where “direct costs” refers to a reasonable allocation of all costs, [including salaries of personnel, overhead and utilities]), allocable to services in marketing such property. If the two percent (2%)
real estate commission is payable in connection with sale of a Property, Agent shall not also be paid the reimbursement of its “direct costs” as described in the preceding sentence. If the person from whom Owner purchases or to whom Owner
sells a Property pays any fee to Agent, such amount shall decrease the amount of Owner’s obligation to Agent. Furthermore, Agent shall not be entitled to any real estate commission in connection with a sale of a Property by Owner to Agent or
any Affiliate of Agent (where “Affiliate” has the meaning specified in the Prospectus of Owner), but Agent will, in such case, be entitled to payment by Owner of its direct costs in such regard. The fees and expenses provided for herein
shall be payable if Owner sells a property, sells shares in Owner, effects a merger of Owner with another entity, or undertakes any other transaction, the purpose or effect of which is, in essence, to dispose of some or all Properties. In any case
other than an actual sale of Properties, Owner and Agent shall in good faith agree upon an allocation of purchase price to each Property which is effectively disposed of. 
  
 6.    Power of Attorney.    Owner hereby makes, constitutes and appoints Agent its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, for it
and in its name, place and stead and for its use and benefit to sign, acknowledge and file all documents and agreements (other than contracts for purchase or sale of a Property, promissory notes, mortgages, deeds of trust or other documents or
instruments which would bind Owner to purchase or sell a Property, result or evidence the incurrence of debt by Owner, or encumber a Property) necessary to perform or effect the duties and obligations of Agent under the terms of this Agreement. The
foregoing power of attorney is a special power of attorney coupled with an interest. It shall terminate when this Agreement terminates as provided herein. 
  
 7.    Relationship of Parties.    The parties agree and acknowledge that Agent is and shall operate as an independent contractor in performing its duties
under this Agreement, and shall not be deemed an employee of Owner. 
  
 8.    Entire
Agreement.    This Agreement represents the entire understanding between the parties hereto with regard to the transactions described herein and may only be amended by a written instrument signed by the party against whom
enforcement is sought. 
  
 9.    Governing Law.    This Agreement
shall be construed in accordance with and be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
