CWI shall have the right, at reasonable times and on reasonable prior notice to Moody, to enter upon the Hotel to conduct such inspections, investigations, tests and studies as CWI shall deem reasonably necessary (including, without limitation, environmental site assessments, engineering tests and studies, physical examinations, feasibility studies  and other due diligence investigations of the Hotel), provided that, any such testing and/or investigations shall be performed in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with or impair the operations at the Hotel and no intrusive drilling or testing shall be performed without Moody’s prior approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).  Prior to conducting any on-site inspection of the Hotel, other than mere visual examination, CWI shall obtain, and during the period of such inspection or testing shall maintain, at its expense, commercial general liability insurance, including a contractual liability endorsement, and personal injury liability coverage, which insurance policies must have limits for bodily injury and death of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) for any one occurrence and not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) for property damage liability for any one occurrence.

After any such entry, CWI shall promptly restore the Hotel to its prior condition, if its condition was changed by such entry. This Section 2.6.1 shall survive the Closing and any termination of this Agreement.

 

2.6.2     During the Due Diligence Period, Moody shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with CWI in connection with CWI’s investigations and inspections of the Hotel and the conduct of the business thereon. Prior to or within three (3) business days after the Effective Date, Moody shall provide to CWI those documents listed and described on Exhibit “L” (the “Investigation Documents”).  If Moody fails to produce any of the Investigation Documents, CWI, as its sole remedy, may terminate the Agreement in accordance with Section 2.6.3 of this Agreement.

Prior the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, CWI may, but shall not be obligated, at its sole cost and expense, obtain an updated ALTA Survey, together with complete and legible copies of all instruments and documents referred to therein (collectively, the “Survey Exceptions”) (the PTR Exceptions and the Survey Exceptions are collectively referred to herein as the “Title Exceptions”).  Notwithstanding Section 2.6.3 above, CWI may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to terminate this Agreement by notice to Moody given on or before February 18, 2013 solely as the result of the updated ALTA Survey identifying a title exception not previously identified prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period which would materially impair the value of the Property, whereupon (I) this Agreement shall automatically terminate; (II) the Escrow Agent shall immediately release and return the Earnest Money to CWI; (III) CWI shall pay all of the expenses of escrow; and (IV) neither Party shall have any further obligation to the other party hereunder, except each party shall continue to be obligated for the Surviving Obligations.

 

2.7.2     From and after the Effective Date, Moody shall promptly bring to CWI’s attention any Title Exceptions (including any violations of law or municipal ordinances, orders, requirements or regulations noted in or issued by any municipal and other governmental departments and agencies having jurisdiction over or affecting the Hotel, the Property and any outstanding work orders and requirements of any company insuring the Hotel against casualty loss) which (i) are created by Moody, (ii) Moody receives written notice of, or (iii) are to Moody’s Knowledge, and, in each case, which were not included in the PTR Exceptions received by CWI pursuant to Section 2.7.2 (each, an “Intervening Lien”).  To the extent that there exist any Intervening Liens other than the Permitted Exceptions, Moody, at its expense, shall undertake all necessary actions to remove any and all Intervening Liens existing as of the date of this Agreement or arising hereafter and to cure any Intervening Liens (or modifications of exceptions or encumbrances existing as of the date of this Agreement) prior to Closing; provided, however, that in the event that any Intervening Liens other than the Permitted Exceptions exist at Closing, CWI shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and in the event of such termination Escrow Agent shall immediately return the Earnest Money (including all interest thereon) to CWI.

 

2.7.3     At the Closing, the Title Company shall be unconditionally and irrevocably prepared to issue a 2006 ALTA Owner’s (6/17/06) extended coverage policy of title insurance for the Property, in favor of CWI, dated as of the Closing, insuring that the Property is vested in CWI, with a liability limit in an amount equal to the mutually agreed upon value of the Real Property and otherwise in the form and with those endorsements required by CWI with no exceptions other than the respective Title Exceptions approved by CWI prior to February 18, 2013 (in its sole and absolute discretion) (the “Permitted Exceptions”) and each and every title insurance endorsements required by CWI (which CWI shall notify the Title Company of prior to February 18, 2013), the form of such endorsements being acceptable to CWI in its sole and absolute discretion (the “Title Endorsements”), (collectively, the “Title Policy”) and the cost of such Title Policy shall be paid by CWI.  For avoidance of doubt, CWI shall have no right to terminate this Agreement after February 18, 2013 solely as the result of the Title Company’s failure to remove any Title Exceptions or issue any Title Endorsements (including an acceptable form of endorsement) which were not identified prior to February 18, 2013, excluding any Intervening Liens.

 

 

2.8         New Franchise Agreement.  Within three (3) business days after the Effective Date, CWI shall submit a franchise application to Franchisor, together with all required related documents and submittals.  From and after the Effective Date, CWI shall work in good faith using commercially reasonable efforts to cause Franchisor to commit in writing, in form and substance reasonable acceptable to the parties, to at Closing: (i) terminate the Franchise Agreement, with no cost, expense or liability to Moody or any of their affiliates and to release each of them from any and all obligation therewith (pursuant to a release in form and substance delivered by Franchisor in the ordinary course of business under substantially similar circumstances); and (ii) allow CWI to receive a license to operate the Hotel as a Courtyard by Marriott hotel after the Closing pursuant to a new franchise agreement in the form and substance acceptable to CWI (in CWI’s reasonable discretion) (collectively, the “Franchisor Approval”).  If Franchisor has not granted Franchisor Approval by the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, CWI shall have an additional fifteen (15) day period (the “Franchisor Approval Period”) solely to allow CWI to obtain the Franchisor Approval; provided CWI shall be obligated to (a) deposit the Second Deposit in accordance with Section 2.3.3, and (b) notify Moody in writing, prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, of its intent to utilize the Franchisor Approval Period.  Upon receipt of the Franchisor Approval during the Franchisor Approval Period, (i) the Franchisor Approval Period shall automatically expire, and (ii) CWI shall have no further right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.6.3.  If CWI has not obtained the Franchisor Approval by the last day of the Franchisor Approval Period, (1) this Agreement shall automatically terminate, (2) the Escrow Agent shall immediately release and return the Earnest Money to CWI, (3) CWI shall pay all of the expenses of escrow and (4) neither Party shall have any further obligation to the other Party hereunder, except for the Surviving Obligations.

3.6         Condition of the Property.

 

3.6.1     CWI EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, AS A MATERIAL PART OF THE CONSIDERATION FOR THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROPERTY 

 

 

IS BEING SOLD TO CWI IN AN “AS IS, WHERE IS” CONDITION AS OF THE CLOSING WITH NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES FROM MOODY, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS TO BE DELIVERED BY MOODY TO CWI AT CLOSING.  CWI agrees that CWI is not relying upon, and has not received or been given, any representations (except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any other documents to be delivered by Moody to CWI at Closing), statements or warranties (oral or written, implied or express) of or by any officer, employee, agent or representative of Moody, or any salesperson or broker (if any) involved in this transaction, as to the Property or any part or component thereof in any respect, including, but not limited to, any representations, statements or warranties as to the physical or environmental condition of the Property, the fitness of the Property for use as a hotel, the financial performance or potential of the Property, the compliance of the Property with applicable building, zoning, subdivision, environmental, life safety or land use laws, codes, ordinances, rules, orders, or regulations, or the state of repair of the Property, and CWI, for itself and its heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns, waives any right to assert any claim or demand against Moody at law or in equity relating to any such matter, whether latent or patent, disclosed or undisclosed, known or unknown, now existing or hereafter arising.  Except for any title or survey matters created by Moody in breach or default of this Agreement and/or matters resulting from Moody’s fraud or intentional failure to disclose any such matters to Moody’s Knowledge, CWI agrees that it shall have no recourse whatsoever against Moody, at law or in equity, should the ALTA Survey or the Title Policy fail to disclose any matter affecting the Property or reveal any such matter in an inaccurate, misleading or incomplete fashion or otherwise be in error.  CWI acknowledges that it shall review the ALTA Survey and the Title Policy (as same may be marked at Closing) and to discuss their contents with the independent contractors who prepared or issued each of them.  CWI accordingly agrees to look solely to the preparer of the ALTA Survey and/or the Title Company, as applicable for any claim arising out of or in connection with such instruments and hereby releases Moody from any such claim (except for such claims for which Moody is expressly liable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and/or for or any claim that Moody agrees to cure as set forth in this Agreement).

 

3.6.2     CWI recognizes that the Hotel and Personal Property are not new and that there exists a possibility that the Property is not in compliance with the requirements which would be imposed on a newly constructed hotel by presently effective federal, state and local building, plumbing, electrical, fire, health, handicap, environmental and life safety laws, codes, ordinances, rules, orders and/or regulations (collectively, the “building codes”).  Except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any other documents to be delivered by Moody to CWI at Closing, Moody makes no representation, warranty, or guaranty of any kind with respect to the compliance of the Property with applicable Law, any building codes and/or whether the Hotel and other improvements on the Real Property may contain substances or materials no longer permitted to be used in newly constructed buildings including, without limitation, asbestos or other insulation materials, lead or other paints, wiring, electrical, or plumbing materials and may not contain other materials or equipment required to be installed in a newly constructed building.  CWI has had the opportunity, to review the results of such investigations and inspections of the Property as CWI deemed necessary with respect to all such matters and except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any other documents to be delivered by Moody to CWI at Closing, CWI agrees to accept and shall accept the Property in an “AS-IS, WHERE IS” condition and at Closing to accept and assume the risk of noncompliance of the Property with all such building codes.  Except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any other documents to be delivered by Moody to CWI at Closing, CWI waives any right to excuse (except as specifically set forth in this Agreement) or delay 

 

 

performance of its obligations under this Agreement or to assert any claim against Moody (before or after Closing) arising out of any failure of the Property to comply with any such building codes.

 

3.6.3     Except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any other documents to be delivered by Moody to CWI at Closing, it is specifically understood and agreed by Moody and CWI that Moody does not make, and shall not be deemed to have made, any representation, warranty or covenant with respect to (i) any Environmental Laws that may affect any of the Property or (ii) the presence or absence of any Hazardous Materials or in, on, above, under or about any of the Property (“Environmental Conditions”).  From and after Closing, except for a breach by Moody of its representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any other documents to be delivered by Moody to CWI at Closing, CWI agrees for itself and for its heirs, successors and assigns, to waive all other rights under any Environmental Laws to require Moody to remediate or “clean up” the Property and releases Moody from any liability of any kind or nature arising with respect to any Environmental Conditions at the Property.  CWI acknowledges and agrees that:  (a) CWI is an experienced and sophisticated owner of real property; (b) CWI has expressly negotiated the limitations of liability contained in this Section; and (c) the limitations contained in this Section are reasonable.  CWI acknowledges and agrees that Moody has agreed to enter into this Agreement in consideration for and in reliance upon the foregoing limitations of liability, and that the consideration under this Agreement is based in part on the limitations of liability.

 

3.6.4     The provisions of this Section 3.6 shall survive Closing.

4.1         Transfer Taxes; Reserves.  If the Alleghany County, City of Pittsburgh or any other Governmental Authority determines that documentary transfer taxes or similar fees or taxes (“Transfer Taxes”) are due in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (when considered individually or when considered with any prior transfers of any direct or indirect ownership or other individual interests in the Hotel), Moody and CWI shall each be responsible for payment of one-half (1/2) of the amount of such Transfer Taxes at Closing.  CWI shall file all necessary Tax Returns with respect to all Transfer Taxes.

 

4.2         Prorations; Credits and Adjustments.

 

4.2.1     All assets and liabilities of the Hotel, determined in accordance with the Uniform System (provided that all non-Hotel assets and liabilities, if any, shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), shall be prorated (whether or not Moody or the Hotel shall have been invoiced therefor prior to the Cut-Off Time) as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time on the Closing Date (the “Cut-Off Time”).  In connection with the foregoing:

 

(a)          Moody has prepared a proforma of the accounting for the transaction that reflects how items subject to proration will be accounted for (the “Draft Closing Statement”).  The Draft Closing Statement reflects Moody’s good faith estimate of all of the prorations, credits and/or other adjustments to be made at Closing, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit “G”; and

 

 

(b)          Not later than five (5) business days prior to the Closing, Moody shall update the Draft Closing Statement and cause a preliminary statement of prorations and adjustments required under this Section 4.2 or under any other provisions of this Agreement to be prepared and delivered to CWI for CWI’s review, with such supporting documentation as the Parties hereto may reasonably require being attached thereto (the “Preliminary Closing Statement”); and

 

(c)          On the day prior to Closing, CWI and Moody will conduct inventories, examinations and audits of the Property as may be necessary to verify and/or make revisions to the Preliminary Closing Statement based on such audits, examinations and inventories, and on the night preceding the Closing immediately after the Cut-Off Time, CWI and Moody will make all final adjustments necessitated by such nights’ operations and prepare a final statement of prorations and adjustments required under this Section 4.2 with such supporting documentation as the Parties hereto may reasonably require being attached thereto (the “Closing Statement”).

 

All prorations reflected on the Draft Closing Statement and the Preliminary Closing Statement shall be made on the basis of the actual number of days in the year and month in which the Closing occurs or in the period of computation.

 

4.2.2     The following shall be prorated as of the Cut-Off Time:

 

(a)          expenses and other amounts payable under any Contracts;

 

(b)          costs and expenses related to construction, capital improvement and other similar work performed at the Hotel prior to the Cut-Off Time;

 

(c)          utility charges (including, without limitation, charges for phone service, cable television, gas, water, sewer and electricity);

 

(d)          installments of municipal and other governmental improvement liens and special assessments;

 

(e)          periodic license and permit fees;

 

(f)           revenues and expenses from any Hotel guest rooms and facilities (other than those set forth in clause (h) below) occupied on the evening immediately preceding the Cut-Off Time, including any Sales Taxes, room taxes and other taxes charged to guests in such rooms and all parking charges allocable to such rooms with respect to the evening immediately preceding the Cut-Off Time, shall be divided 50:50 between Moody and CWI (where a complete meeting package (“CMP”) guest is staying on a CMP rate, the food and beverage revenues shall be allocated based on whether the applicable meal or service occurred before or after the Cut-Off Time); provided, however, that to the extent that either Moody or Hotel Manager, as applicable, records in the ordinary course the times at which food and beverage sales, telephone, facsimile or data communication, in-room movie, laundry, and other services are ordered by guests, then the same shall be prorated when orders for the same were received.  All revenues from restaurants and other service operations conducted at the Hotel shall be prorated based on whether the same accrued before or after the Cut-Off Time as described in the preceding sentence.  The revenues referred to in this clause (g) are referred to collectively as “guest revenues”;

 

(g)          revenues and expenses from conferences, receptions, meetings, and other functions occurring in any conference, banquet or meeting rooms in the Hotel, including 

 

 

usage charges and related taxes, food and beverage sales, valet parking charges, equipment rentals, and telecommunications charges, shall be prorated based on when the function took place.  The revenues referred to in this clause (h) are referred to collectively as “conference revenues”;

 

(h)          the Rooms Ledger;

 

(i)           expenses for food and beverages and reserve stock of linens, towels, paper goods, soaps, cleaning and other supplies delivered prior to midnight;

 

(j)           prepaid rents and prepaid room receipts and deposits, function receipts and deposits and other reservation receipts and deposits (including the amount of unredeemed gift certificates, if any);

 

(k)          retail sales (including any tax on the sale of any Personal Property effected pursuant to this Agreement), occupancy and liquor taxes and like impositions accrued as of the Cut-Off Time;

 

(l)           revenue relating to the common areas of the Hotel;

 

(m)         revenue (after the settlement of applicable commissions and/or costs) relating to vending machines in the Hotel;

 

(n)          all till money, cash-on-hand, and all sums in house banks for the Hotel, in which case all right, title and interest to the till money, cash-on-hand and house banks shall be assigned and conveyed by Moody to CWI and Moody shall receive a credit equal to the amount thereof, provided that, if Moody and CWI cannot mutually agree upon the amount of the till money, cash-on-hand and house banks, the provisions of this clause (o) shall be inapplicable and title to the till money, cash-on-hand and house banks shall remain with Moody;  and

 

(o)          such other items as are usually and customarily prorated between buyers and sellers of hotel properties in the area where the Hotel is located.

 

4.3         Utilities.  All suppliers of utilities shall be instructed by Moody to read meters or otherwise determine the charges owing as of the Closing for services prior thereto, which charges shall be allocated and, as mutually determined by the Parties, (i) be credited in an amount thereto to CWI at Closing; or (ii) allocated to and paid by Moody prior to or at Closing.

 

4.4         Inventories.  In the event that the inventories taken by Moody and CWI of the FF&E and Supplies immediately prior to Closing reveal deficiencies in the levels thereof against the respective Baseline Inventory Level, CWI shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the amount of such deficiency as mutually and reasonably determined by CWI and Moody.  Alternatively, in the event that the inventories taken by Moody and CWI of the FF&E and Supplies immediately prior to Closing reveal a surplus in the levels thereof against the respective Baseline Inventory Level, CWI shall purchase such excess (and, with respect to Consumables inventory, unopened surplus) inventories from Moody at a price equal to the cost thereof.  Stale or expired food and beverage or Consumables that are no longer marketable will not be included in the closing inventories.

 

4.5         Taxes and Assessments.

 

 

4.5.1     The Parties hereby agree that all sales and/or compensating use taxes imposed upon or due in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder by any Governmental Authority, if any, shall be paid by Moody.  Moody shall file all necessary tax returns with respect to all such taxes.

 

4.5.2     Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, from and after the date hereof, Moody shall indemnify and defend and hold  CWI harmless from and against (i) any and all taxes due and payable by CWI for any tax period ending on or before the Closing (a “Pre-Closing Tax Period”); (ii) except as provided in Sections 4.5.3 and 4.5.4  below, any and all taxes due and payable by Moody for a taxable period beginning prior to the day of the Closing and ending after the day of the Closing (the “Straddle Period”) which are allocable to Pre-Closing Tax Period, and (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket third party costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, attributable to any item for which indemnification is provided in clauses (i) – (ii) above. With respect to a Straddle Period, taxes of Moody, other than taxes in Sections 4.5.3 and 4.5.4 below, allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be computed as if such taxable period ended on and included the day of the Closing; provided that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis shall be allocated between the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the day of the Closing and the portion of the Straddle Period ending after the day of the Closing in proportion to the number of days in each such period.

 

4.5.3     All unpaid real estate and personal property taxes and other assessments (including, without limitation, special assessments and improvement assessments) levied against the Property for a Straddle Period shall be prorated at Closing. Moody shall be responsible for all real property taxes and personal property taxes and other assessments for the tax periods ending on or prior to the day of the Closing and for the portion of the Straddle Period through the day of the Closing  and shall indemnify and defend and hold CWI harmless from and against such taxes, and CWI shall be responsible for all real property taxes and personal property taxes and other assessments for the tax periods beginning after the day of the Closing and for the portion of the Straddle Period after the day of the Closing and shall indemnify and defend and hold Moody harmless from and against any such taxes.  If the amount of any such taxes is not ascertainable at Closing, the proration for such taxes shall be estimated based on the most recent available bill; provided, however, that after the Closing, Moody and CWI shall re-prorate the taxes and pay any deficiency in the original proration to the other party promptly upon receipt of the actual bill for the relevant taxable period. In the event that the Property or any part thereof shall be or shall have been affected by an assessment or assessments which are payable in installments, Moody shall, at the Closing, be responsible for any installments due prior to the Closing and CWI shall be responsible for any installments due on or after the Closing, provided that such assessments shall in any event be prorated between CWI and Moody as of the Cut-Off Time.

 

4.5.4     CWI and Moody each acknowledge that certain taxes and assessments accrue and are payable to the various local governments by any business entity operating a hotel and its related facilities. Included in those taxes and assessments may be business and occupation taxes, retail sales taxes, gross receipts taxes, and other special lodging or hotel taxes and assessments. For purposes of this Agreement, all of such taxes and assessments (expressly excluding (x) taxes and assessments covered in Section 4.5.3 of this Agreement, which shall be governed by the provisions of such Section, and (y) corporate franchise taxes, and federal, state and local income taxes) (hereinafter referred to as “Operational Taxes”) shall be allocated between Moody and CWI such that those attributable to the period ending on or prior to the day of the Closing shall be allocable to Moody and those attributable to the period beginning after the day of the Closing shall be allocable to CWI (with the attribution of such taxes and assessments hereunder to be done in a manner consistent with the attribution under this Agreement of the applicable 

 

 

revenues on which such taxes and assessments may be based). CWI shall receive a credit for any Operational Taxes attributable to the Straddle Period through the day of the Closing which Moody has not paid.  Except for the Operational Taxes for which (and in the amount for which) CWI has received a credit under this Section 4.5.4,  Moody shall be solely responsible for payment of the Operational Taxes with respect to any tax period ending on or prior to the day of the Closing and the Straddle Period through the day of the Closing and shall indemnify and defend and hold CWI harmless from and against such Operational Taxes, and CWI shall be solely responsible for payment of Operational Taxes with respect to any tax period beginning after the day of the Closing and the Straddle Period beginning after the day of the Closing (and those for which  and in amount for which it receives a credit) and shall indemnify and defend and hold Moody harmless from and against such Operational Taxes.

 

4.6         Post-Closing Prorations.

 

4.6.1     If accurate prorations cannot be made at Closing because current bills are not obtainable (as, for example, in the case of utility bills), the Parties shall prorate such revenue or expenses at Closing on the best available information, subject to adjustment upon receipt of the final bill or other evidence of the applicable revenue or expense.  Moody’s obligation to pay the Excluded Liabilities in full shall survive the Closing of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.  If the Parties are unable to agree on any prorated items required to be contained in the Closing Statement at Closing, the Closing shall occur and a preliminary closing statement shall be signed with respect to such amounts and issues that are agreed upon by the Parties.  If any refund of any water rates and charges, sewer rents or similar items is issued after the Cut-Off Time for any period that includes the period prior to the Cut-Off Time, then such refund shall be applied as follows: first, to the cost incurred in obtaining such refund (and appropriately prorated based on the portion of said costs incurred prior to and after the Closing), and second, the balance of such refund, if any, shall be prorated as of the Cut-Off Time.  The provisions of this Section 4.6.1 shall survive the Closing.

 

4.6.2     Any prorations hereunder which cannot be finally determined as of Closing shall be re-prorated ninety (90) days after Closing to the extent possible consistent with the procedures set forth in Sections 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5.  In the event that such re-proration results in an increase to the amount of Excluded Liabilities (the “Excess Liability Amount”), Moody will be responsible for making up any such underpayment by making a payment to CWI equal to such Excess Liability Amount within five (5) business days after such final determination.  In the event that such re-proration results in a decrease to the amount of Excluded Liabilities, CWI will be responsible for making up any such overpayment by reimbursing Moody in the amount equal to such overpayment within five (5) business days after such final determination.

 

4.7         Accounts Payable; Accounts Receivable.  All obligations and liabilities (for services and materials ordered, or otherwise) and accounts payable for the Hotel and the Real Property owing as of the Closing for merchandise, equipment, tour agents’ and travel agents’ commissions, advertisements, supplies and other materials and services shall be prorated between Moody and CWI as of the Closing Date.  Moody shall receive a credit for all prepaid expenses.  At the Closing, Moody shall deliver to CWI an update of Moody’s accounts receivable list.  Thereafter, CWI shall promptly remit to Moody all sums received by CWI in payment of any of Moody’s accounts receivables.  All sums received by CWI from a customer, guest or patron owing Moody under a Moody account receivable shall be credited, first, to the sums owing Moody, and then, to the extent any sums remain, to CWI.  For a period of twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, Moody shall have the right, from time to time, to inspect and audit the books and records of the Hotel that pertain to income and collections, at Moody’s sole cost and expense, and CWI shall 

 

 

provide reasonable access thereto to Moody upon not less than three (3) business days prior written notice, to verify receipt and payment of Moody’s accounts receivable.

 

4.8         Brokers; Commissions.  Moody represents and warrants to CWI that, except for Hodges Ward Elliott, Inc., Moody has not dealt with any real estate broker in connection with this transaction, nor has Moody been introduced to CWI by any real estate broker.  CWI represents and warrants to Moody that CWI has not dealt with any other real estate broker in connection with this transaction, nor has CWI been introduced to the Hotel or to Moody by any other real estate broker.  Each Party shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other from and against any Claims, suits, demands or liabilities of any kind or nature whatsoever arising on account of the claim of any Person, firm or corporation to a real estate brokerage commission or a finder’s fee or other similar compensation as a result of having dealt with such Party and/or its Affiliates in connection with this transaction.  The provisions of this Section 4.8 shall survive the Closing and any termination of this Agreement.

 

4.9         Closing Costs.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this ARTICLE 4, or elsewhere in this Agreement, Moody and CWI shall be responsible for paying all of their own respective costs and expenses incurred thereby in connection with the transactions contemplated herein; provided, however, Moody shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing in the amount of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) in consideration for certain mutually agreed upon closing costs which CWI has agreed to reimburse Moody for.

 

4.10       Disputes.  Any dispute between the Parties as to the monetary amount of any such revenues or expenses (the “Disputed Amounts”) shall be resolved by binding arbitration conducted by an Expert mutually approved by CWI and Moody, provided that, in the event that the Parties are unable to agree upon an Expert within such period, the Expert shall be appointed by JAMS within two (2) business days thereafter.  Any arbitration shall be conducted pursuant to the JAMS’ Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “Rules”); provided, that no discovery shall be permitted other than pursuant to Rule 17(a) of the Rules.  Each Party shall promptly, and in no event later than seven (7) days following appointment of the Expert, submit to the Expert their respective positions with respect to the Disputed Amounts, including their specific valuations or other proposed amounts in connection therewith.  The Expert shall be instructed by the Parties to use its best efforts to make a reasoned final written determination within seven (7) days after the Parties submit in writing (or have had the opportunity to submit in writing but have not submitted) their positions as to the Disputed Amounts, final and binding on the Parties, of the Disputed Amounts presented to it.  The Expert shall rely solely on such written submissions by the Parties with respect to the matters at issue and shall not undertake an independent investigation.  In rendering its decision and any award with respect to any item, the Expert shall be permitted to choose only between the respective amounts or other position set forth by CWI or Moody, and shall not be permitted to render a decision that does not conform in all respects with either CWI’s or Moody’s respective amounts or other relief sought.  No Party (or any of their respective Affiliates or representatives) shall have any ex parte communications or meetings with the Expert without the prior consent of the other Party.  As part of the award, the Expert shall designate the Party whose position is upheld, and such prevailing Party shall recover from the other Party all of its reasonably attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses, including its share of the fees and costs paid to the Expert, expert witness fees, compensation for in-house counsel, and all other fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the resolution of the Dispute.

 

ARTICLE 5

 

REMEDIES

 

 

5.1         CWI’s Default.  In the event that CWI does not terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, and CWI, thereafter, in breach of this Agreement (e.g., without the material breach or default by Moody under this Agreement or the failure of a condition to close hereunder), fails to close the transaction contemplated under this Agreement on the Closing Date, then within five (5) business days after written notice of such breach from Moody (which five (5) business days shall, if necessary, automatically extend the Closing Date to the expiration of such five (5) business day period), Moody shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement and retain the Earnest Money, which retention thereof (together the collection of reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection therewith) shall be Moody’s sole and exclusive remedy under this Agreement, at law or in equity, for such breach of default to close the transaction contemplated under this Agreement.  THE PARTIES HAVE DISCUSSED THE POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES TO MOODY IN THE EVENT THAT THE CLOSING FAILS TO OCCUR AS A RESULT OF CWI’S BREACH OR DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.  THE PARTIES HAVE DETERMINED AND HEREBY AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL OR EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIX THE ACTUAL DAMAGES TO MOODY OCCURRING IN THE EVENT OF CWI’S BREACH OR DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE PARTIES, HAVING MADE DILIGENT BUT UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS TO ASCERTAIN THE ACTUAL COMPENSATORY DAMAGES PCI WOULD SUFFER IN THE EVENT OF CWI’S MATERIAL DEFAULT HEREUNDER, HEREBY AGREE THAT A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SUCH DAMAGES IS AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE EARNEST MONEY DEPOSITED WITH ESCROW AGENT, AND IN THE EVENT THIS TRANSACTION FAILS TO CLOSE DUE TO CWI’S BREACH OR DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, MOODY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE AND RETAIN THE SAME AS FULLY AGREED LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.  MOODY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO SEEK OTHER RIGHTS OR REMEDIES AGAINST CWI, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE.  THE PAYMENT AND RETENTION OF THE EARNEST MONEY DEPOSITED WITH ESCROW AGENT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY, BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO MOODY.  UPON ANY SUCH BREACH OR DEFAULT AND FAILURE TO CLOSE BY CWI HEREUNDER, THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE TERMINATED AND NEITHER PARTY SHALL HAVE ANY FURTHER RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, EACH TO THE OTHER, EXCEPT FOR THE RIGHT OF MOODY TO RETAIN SUCH EARNEST MONEY AND RECOVER ANY AMOUNTS MOODY IS ENTITLED TO UNDER SECTION 9.17, AND EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED ABOVE. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT, UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THIS TRANSACTION AND THE MARKETPLACE AT THE TIME HEREOF, THIS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVISION IS REASONABLE AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH CALIFORNIA LAW.

In the event that a court prohibits specific performance or CWI fails to file its claim within the sixty (60) day period set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, CWI may pursue a claim for monetary damages in an amount not to exceed CWI’s actual (and reasonably verifiable) out of pocket expenses incurred in this transaction not to exceed One Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($125,000).

 

5.3         Post Closing Rights and Remedies.

5.4.2     Moody Management Corporation (“Indemnitor”) hereby acknowledges, covenants and unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably agrees to appear, indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless, as well as reimburse, CWI and its Affiliates and their respective parents, Affiliates, shareholders, officers, directors, members, partners, trustees, agents, representatives and employees (collectively, the “Related Parties”) to the fullest extent provided by law, from and against, and for, any and all Claims, and all Losses (but in all cases without duplication with respect to any and all payments made by or on behalf of Indemnitor for a breach or default (including, without limitation, payments made with respect to the underlying obligations in order to cure such a breach or default, but expressly excluding payments made with respect to any intentional breach or default) under the certificates and declarations provided to the Title Company in connection with 

 

 

the Closing hereunder (but excluding in either case, fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Moody (to the extent caused by Moody’s actions)), to the extent the Closing occurs and such Claims and Losses result from any of the following (collectively, the “Indemnity Obligations”): (i) any and all Excluded Liabilities; and (ii) any breach or default by Moody of this Agreement including, without limitation, the representations and warranties of Moody contained in, and as limited under, this Agreement (the “Representations and Warranties”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if the joint representation of CWI or the Related Parties (where CWI or the Related Parties are specifically named as parties to the applicable Proceeding) will create either an actual or potential conflict of interest in the defense of a Claim which conflict is unreasonable to waive, including, without limitation, arising under rules of professional responsibility applicable to legal counsel jointly representing CWI or the Related Parties, or material and reasonable divergence of business or litigation interests among the joint clients with respect to strategies or objectives in defending the Claim, or potential liability exposure in connection with such Claim; (b) if CWI reasonably determines that Indemnitor does not have the financial wherewithal to satisfy its respective Indemnity Obligations in any material  manner; or (c) if Indemnitor fails to (A) make one of the requisite elections under clauses (a) or (b) of this Section 5.4.3 prior to the expiration of such ten (10) business day period; or (B) in any way satisfy the foregoing requirements and obligations of this Section 5.4.3, CWI shall have the right, at Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense, to take whatever commercially reasonable actions are necessary to dismiss the Proceeding or to contest and/or defend itself and the Related Parties against such Proceeding, provided that CWI shall keep Indemnitor apprised of the current status of such Proceeding at all times.  In connection therewith, Indemnitor covenants and agrees to pay in advance, all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, disbursements, and court costs in connection therewith) actually incurred by CWI in connection with such Proceeding.  Nothing contained in the foregoing or elsewhere in this Agreement shall apply to, or otherwise cause Indemnitor to pay for, any costs or expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by CWI or the Related Parties in connection with any cross-complaint or other Claims which may be brought by CWI or the Related Parties with respect to the matters which are the subject of any such Proceeding or otherwise.

 

 

5.4.4     Indemnitor shall absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally be liable for the Indemnity Obligations as a primary obligor. Indemnitor agrees to the provisions of this Agreement, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives (i) notice of acceptance of this Agreement; (ii) notice of any amendment or extension of this Agreement; (iii) notice of the occurrence of any breach or default under this Agreement; (iv) notice of CWI’s transfer or disposition of the Indemnity Obligations, or any part thereof; (v) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in any other respects more burdensome than that of a principal; (vi) any defense based upon any election, in any proceeding instituted under Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Federal Bankruptcy Code”), of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any successor statute; or (vii) except as set forth herein, presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind; and Indemnitor agrees that nothing contained herein shall prevent CWI from exercising any rights available to it hereunder and that the exercise of any of the aforesaid rights shall not constitute a legal or equitable discharge of Indemnitor.  Indemnitor hereby authorizes and empowers CWI to exercise, in its respective sole discretion, any rights and remedies, or any combination thereof, which may then be available under this Agreement, since it is the intent and purpose of Indemnitor that the Indemnity Obligations hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances.

 

5.4.5     Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, the amount(s) of any Claims incurred by CWI, Indemnity Obligations and/or reimbursable expenses due and owing to CWI shall be paid to CWI by Indemnitor within thirty (30) days of a written demand therefor made by CWI upon Indemnitor.

 

5.4.6     Subject to Section 9.17 below, Indemnitor agrees that, with or without notice or demand, Indemnitor shall reimburse CWI for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, disbursements and court costs) incurred by CWI in connection with the enforcement of this Section 5.4, or in any Action or Proceeding brought by CWI against Indemnitor to enforce the Indemnity Obligations or any other obligation of Indemnitor under this Agreement, such reimbursement to be made with thirty (30) days of a written demand therefor.

5.4.7     Each reference herein to CWI shall be deemed to include CWI’s successors and assigns.  Indemnitor shall not, in any event or under any circumstance, have the right, without obtaining the prior written approval of CWI (which approval may be granted or withheld in CWI’s sole and absolute discretion), to assign or transfer Indemnitor’s obligations and liabilities under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any other Person, party or entity.  Nothing contained in this Section 5.4 shall be deemed to release, reduce or otherwise modify the obligations of Indemnitor under this Agreement.

5.4.9     Except as provided otherwise herein, no delay on the part of CWI in exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement, or failure to exercise the same, shall operate as a waiver in whole or in part of any such right or remedy.  No notice to or demand on Indemnitor shall be deemed to be a waiver of the obligations of Indemnitor or of the right of CWI to take further action as provided in this Agreement.

 

5.4.10   Indemnitor acknowledges that this Agreement, and Indemnitor’s obligations hereunder, are and shall at all times be absolute and unconditional in all respects, and is and shall at all times be valid and enforceable irrespective of any modification, impairment, abatement, reduction, release or limitation, in whole or part, of any obligation of Indemnitor pursuant to an order by a bankruptcy court or other court of competent jurisdiction in any proceeding brought under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, it being expressly acknowledged and agreed by Indemnitor that if any such modification, impairment, abatement, reduction, release or limitation, in whole or part, is so ordered in any such proceeding, Indemnitor’s obligations under this Agreement will nevertheless continue to be determined as if such order had not been issued.  This Agreement shall at all times thereafter remain effective in regard to any payments or other transfers of assets to CWI received from or on behalf of Indemnitor under or in respect of the Indemnity Obligations which are held voidable on the grounds of preference, fraudulent conveyance or otherwise.  Indemnitor’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be impaired or affected by any other circumstance raised as a defense to liability as a surety (rather than direct liability of a principal).

(a)          Indemnitor has all necessary power and authority to own its respective assets and to conduct its respective business as presently conducted or proposed to be conducted and to enter into and perform this Agreement and all other agreements and instruments to be executed by them in connection herewith.

 

(b)          This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Indemnitor.

 

(c)          This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Indemnitor, enforceable against Indemnitor in accordance with its terms (except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy or insolvency laws and by general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability shall be considered a proceeding in equity or at law).

 

(d)          Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all consents, approvals, orders or authorizations of, or registrations, declarations or filings with, all Governmental Authorities that are required in connection with the valid execution, delivery and performance by Indemnitor of this Agreement have been obtained.

 

5.4.12   Indemnitor agrees that this Agreement shall continue to be effective, or if previously terminated as a result of Indemnitor having fulfilled Indemnitor’s obligations hereunder in full, or as a result of CWI having released Indemnitor from the obligations and liabilities hereunder, and shall without further act or instrument be reinstated and shall thereafter remain in full force and effect, in either case with the same force and effect as though such payment or portion thereof and not been made, and if applicable, as if such previous termination had not occurred, as the case may be, if at any time any payment or portion thereof is made by or on account of Indemnitor to CWI, and such payment is set aside by any court or trustee having jurisdiction as a 

 

 

voidable preference or fraudulent conveyance, rescinded or must otherwise be returned by CWI upon insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, composition, dissolution, receivership, conservatorship, winding up or other similar proceeding involving or affecting Indemnitor, all as though such payment had not been made, provided that in any such circumstance such payment is returned to and received by either Indemnitor.

 

5.4.13   Moody agrees that nothing contained in this Section 5.4 shall prevent CWI from exercising any rights available to it hereunder (including, without limitation, all rights and remedies available at law or in equity) and that the exercise of the aforesaid rights shall not constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any Moody.  Moody hereby authorizes and empowers CWI to exercise, in its respective sole discretion, any right and remedies, or any combination thereof, which may then be available under this Agreement, since it is the intent and purpose of Moody that, except as otherwise set forth in this Section 5.4, the Indemnity Obligations hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances.

 

5.5         Limitation on Liability.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, except as to Moody’s fraud, any claim that CWI may have during the Survival Period against Moody for any breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.1 will not be valid or effective, and Moody shall have no liability with respect thereto, unless the aggregate of all valid claims exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000).  Furthermore, Moody’s liability for damages resulting from valid claims during the Survival Period shall in no event exceed One Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,200,000) in the aggregate.  The liability of each Party hereto resulting from the breach or default by such party shall be limited to direct actual damages incurred by the injured party and each part hereto hereby waives its rights to recover from the other party consequential, punitive, exemplary, and speculative damages.  The provisions of this Section 5.5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement

CERTIFICATE OF NON FOREIGN STATUS

 

Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code provides that a transferee (buyer) of a U.S. real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor (seller) is a foreign person.  For U.S. tax purposes (including Section 1445), the owner of a disregarded entity (which as legal title to a U.S. real property interest under local law) will be the transferor of the property and not the disregarded entity.  To inform the transferee (buyer) that withholding of tax is not required upon the disposition of a U.S. real property interest by ________________________________________ (“Transferor”), the undersigned hereby certifies the following on behalf of Transferor:

 

1.  Transferor is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust, or foreign estate (as those terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code and Income Tax Regulations).  Transferor is not a “disregarded entity” (as such term is defined in the Internal Revenue Code and Income Tax Regulations).

 

2.                                    Transferor’s U.S. employer identification number is ________________.

 

3.                                    Transferor’s office address is:

 

	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    

 

4.                                    Transferor is not a disregarded entity as defined in Section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii).

 

5.                                    Transferor understands that this certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by the transferee (buyer) and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment, or both.

 

Under penalties of perjury, the undersigned declares that he has examined this certification and to the best of his knowledge and belief it is true, correct and complete, and he further declares that he has the authority to sign this document on behalf of Transferor.
