 ARTICLE 2.
CONTRIBUTION AND REDEMPTION; ADJUSTMENTS; EARNEST MONEY. 
  
 2.1
Pre-Closing Restructuring. As of the day immediately prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Transferors shall, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and subject to the completion of
the Defeasance, the incurrence of the Refinancing Debt and the receipt of the consents and approvals set forth in Schedule 2.1-A hereto, cause the Redemption to occur. Each of the Transferors, the Partnership and the REIT agrees that, subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, they will cooperate with, and provide reasonable assistance to, each other with a view to causing each of the events contemplated by the Redemption Agreement to occur prior to the Redemption (the
“Reorganization Events”) to be completed with legal effect prior to the Closing under the Redemption Agreement. Immediately following the completion of the Reorganization Events, the Redemption will be completed and, on the Closing
Date the distribution of the limited liability company interests in the Company held by Westban Venture to SCG and WCBC will occur and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the parties shall cause the actions described in steps 1-7
of Schedule 2.1-B, and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Contribution Events”), to be completed. Each of the Transferors, the Partnership and the REIT further agrees that the consummation of the
Reorganization Events, the Redemption and the Contribution Events (collectively, the “Transaction Events”) will be initiated only if the parties are reasonably certain that all of the 
  

 -12- 

 conditions to the occurrence of each of them will be satisfied and that it is reasonably likely that such Transaction
Events will be consummated. Accordingly, each of the Transferors, the Partnership and the REIT agrees that it will provide to the other parties hereto, on the Closing Date and prior to the release of the documents and funds from escrow, an
acknowledgement that all of the conditions to its obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been satisfied, and that each of the parties shall be entitled to rely on such acknowledgement. Without limitation of
the foregoing, each of the Transferors, the Partnership and the REIT agrees that upon the effectiveness of any one of the Transaction Events hereunder or under the Redemption Agreement (including as set forth in the penultimate paragraph of Section
2.2 of the Redemption Agreement), they will make all commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the completion of all other Transaction Events and will not take any steps to adjourn, delay or interfere with the process in any way. 
  
 2.2 Acquisition of Interests in the Company by the Partnership. As of
the day immediately following completion of the Redemption and the other pre-closing transactions described in Section 2.1, on the Closing Date, the Partnership will acquire from the Transferors ninety-nine percent (99%) of the outstanding
Transferred Interests, and LaSalle Lessee will acquire one percent (1%) of the outstanding Transferred Interests from WCBC, through the consummation of the contribution or assignment of the Transferred Interests pursuant to Section 2.3. The
aggregate amount to be received by the Transferors on Closing in connection with such transactions (the “Closing Date Consideration”) shall be an amount equal to the sum of the following: 
  

	 	(a)	$119,086,462.05 being the agreed aggregate equity value of the limited liability company interests in the Company held by the Transferors after giving effect to the Redemption
(which agreed net equity value shall not, except as expressly set forth in the penultimate paragraph of this Section 2.2, be subject to adjustment), assuming that the outstanding principal amount of the indebtedness of the Company under the Existing
Financing Documents immediately prior to the Defeasance is $78,791,908.24 and without giving effect to the incurrence of the Refinancing Debt or the receipt or the application of the proceeds thereof; and 

  

	 	(b)	the Transferors’ aggregate Project Pro Rata Portions of the Estimated Closing Working Capital (which may be negative) shown on the Estimated Working Capital Statement.

  
 In the event that the outstanding principal amount of the
indebtedness of the Company under the Existing Financing Documents immediately prior to the Defeasance exceeds $78,791,908.24, then the Closing Date Consideration shall be decreased by an amount equal to the Transferors’ aggregate Project Pro
Rata Portions of such excess. In the event that the outstanding principal amount of the indebtedness of the Company under the Existing Financing Documents immediately prior to the Defeasance is less than $78,791,908.24, then the Closing Date
Consideration shall be increased by an amount equal to the Transferors’ aggregate Project Pro Rata Portions of such shortfall. The amount of any such adjustment to the Closing Date Consideration shall be allocated 
  

 -13- 

 between the Transferors in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portions and shall be in the same form of
consideration as set out in Section 2.3 (immediately available funds in the case of WCBC, and Class C Preferred Units in the case of SCG, with the number of such Class C Preferred Units to be calculated by using a value per Class C Preferred Unit of
$25.00). 
  
 The Closing Date Consideration shall be paid in accordance with
Section 2.3 and shall, to the extent provided therein, be adjusted in accordance with Sections 2.4, 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7 or as otherwise provided in this Agreement. 
  

2.3 Closing Date Transactions and Payment of the Closing Date Consideration. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at
the Closing the Partnership and LaSalle Lessee, neither of which is a disregarded entity under the Code, shall acquire from the Transferors, and the Transferors shall contribute or assign to the Partnership and LaSalle Lessee (it being understood
and agreed that the Transferors will contribute ninety-nine percent (99%) of the Transferred Interests to the Partnership and that WCBC will assign one percent (1%) of the Transferred Interests to LaSalle Lessee), all of such Transferor’s
Transferred Interest (i.e., on a collective basis, 100% of the outstanding limited liability company interests in the Company on the Closing Date) in exchange for the delivery of the Closing Date Consideration in the following manner: 
  

	 	(a)	to SCG, (i) a number of Class C Preferred Units equal to the result obtained by dividing (A) $58,543,231.02 (the “SCG Closing Date Consideration”) by (B) $25.00;
and 

  

	 	(b)	to WCBC, an amount in cash equal to $60,543,231.03, 98% of which will be paid by the Partnership and 2% of which will be paid by LaSalle Lessee (the “WCBC Closing Date
Consideration”). 

  
 The obligation of the Partnership and
LaSalle Lessee (it being understood that all references in the remainder of this Article 2 to “the Partnership” shall, where the context requires, also be deemed to include LaSalle Lessee) to proceed with each of the foregoing transactions
is subject to the conditions set forth herein, and if the conditions to the obligations of the Partnership to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby shall not have been satisfied, the Partnership shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement and obtain a refund of the Earnest Money in addition to any other remedies it may have under the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that such conditions shall be deemed to have been waived if the failure of such condition to be
satisfied results from any act or omission of the Partnership in violation of this Agreement. Without limitation of the foregoing, each of the Transferors, the Partnership and REIT agrees that none of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
(including the contribution and sale of the Transferred Interests) shall be deemed to have occurred unless all such transactions and all of the transactions contemplated by the Redemption Agreement (including the Defeasance, the incurrence of the
Refinancing Debt and the Redemption) shall have been consummated. 
  

 -14- 

 2.4 Working Capital Adjustments. 
  
 (a) At least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Transferors in good faith shall prepare an unaudited estimated
consolidated net Working Capital statement of the Company as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated Working Capital Statement”) setting forth an estimate of the Working Capital of the Company (the “Estimated Closing Working
Capital”) as of 12:01 a.m. (Eastern Daylight Time) on the Closing Date (the “Effective Time”). The information contained in the Estimated Working Capital Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the principles set out
in Sections 2.4(g) and 2.5 and on Schedule 2.5 hereto and shall be based on the books and records of the Company and Westban Venture and other information then available. 
  
 (b) As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing, the Partnership
will deliver to the Transferors an unaudited consolidated Working Capital statement of the Company as of the Effective Time (the “Closing Working Capital Statement”) prepared by the Partnership on a basis consistent with the example
calculation of Working Capital attached hereto as Schedule 2.5 and in accordance with the principles set out in Sections 2.4(f) and 2.5 and on Schedule 2.5 hereto, which Closing Working Capital Statement will reflect the Partnership’s
determination of the actual Working Capital of the Company as of the Effective Time (the “Closing Working Capital”). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event that the final amount of real estate taxes
that are actually payable in respect of the Project for the period ending at the Effective Time, the amount of rent under a Tenant Lease that is actually payable in respect of the Project for the period ending at the Effective Time or the amount of
a specified payment due under the Chilled Water Agreement or the REA Agreement cannot be finally determined as of the date that is 180 days after the Closing, the amounts of such items shall be included on the Closing Working Capital Statement at
the same level as the amounts of such items were included on the Estimated Working Capital Statement and when the amounts of such items are capable of finally being determined, the amounts of such items shall be adjusted in accordance with the
procedures set forth in this Section 2.4. 
  
 (c) Following
delivery of the Closing Working Capital Statement, the Transferors and their representatives and advisors will be permitted to review all books and records, documents and working papers and will have access to employees of the REIT and the
Partnership that are required in connection with their review of the Closing Working Capital Statement. If the Transferors disagree with the Partnership’s determination of the Closing Working Capital, the Transferors shall notify the
Partnership in writing of such disagreement (such notice setting forth the basis for such disagreement in reasonable detail) within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of the Closing Working Capital Statement and the Transferors and the
Partnership thereafter shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any such disagreement. If the Transferors do not notify the Partnership of any such disagreement within such fifteen (15) Business Day period the Transferors shall be deemed to have
waived any right to object to the Closing Working Capital Statement. If the Transferors and the Partnership are unable to resolve any such disagreement within thirty (30) days after the Partnership delivers the Closing Working Capital Statement to
the Transferors, the Transferors and the Partnership shall submit the dispute to a “Big 
  

 -15- 

 Four” public accounting firm jointly selected by the Transferors and the Partnership (the “Independent
Auditor”) for resolution. If the Transferors and the Partnership are unable to agree upon an Independent Auditor, the Independent Auditor shall be selected by lot from the “Big Four” accounting firms (but excluding any firm which
has previously audited the Westban Venture’s or the Partnership’s or the REIT’s financial statements). The Independent Auditor selected under this Section 2.4(c) shall also be the “Independent Auditor” selected under Section
2.3(c) of the Redemption Agreement. 
  
 (d) The Transferors and
the Partnership shall use all reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Auditor to resolve all disagreements over the Closing Working Capital as soon as practicable, but in any event within 60 days after submission of the dispute to the
Independent Auditor. The resolution of such disagreements and the determination of Closing Working Capital by the Independent Auditor shall be final and binding on the Transferors and the Partnership. 
  
 (e) The Independent Auditor will determine the allocation of its costs and
expenses in determining the Closing Working Capital based upon the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each party bears to the amount actually contested by such party. For example, if the Transferors claim the Closing
Working Capital is $500 greater than the amount determined by the Partnership in the Closing Working Capital Statement, and if the Independent Auditor ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding the Partnership $300 of the $500 contested, then the
costs and expenses of arbitration will be allocated 30.12% (i.e., the product of (i) the Transferors’ aggregate Project Pro Rata Portions and (ii) 300 divided by 500) to the Transferors and 20.08% (i.e., the Product of (i) the Transferors’
aggregate Project Pro Rata Portions and (ii) 200 divided by 500) to the Partnership. 
  
 (f) If the Closing Working Capital (as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.4) is greater than the Estimated Closing Working Capital, the Partnership shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Closing
Working Capital is finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.4, pay to each of the Transferors, in the same form of consideration as set out in Section 2.3 (immediately available funds, in the case of WCBC, or Class C Preferred Units in the case
of SCG, with the number of such Class C Preferred Units to be calculated by using a value per Class C Preferred Unit of $25.00) (such form of consideration for each of WCBC and SCG being the “Agreed Form of Consideration”), such
Transferor’s Project Pro Rata Portion of the difference between the Closing Working Capital and the Estimated Closing Working Capital. If the Closing Working Capital is less than the Estimated Closing Working Capital, each of the Transferors
shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Closing Working Capital is finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.4, pay to the Partnership, in the Agreed Form of Consideration, an amount equal to such Transferor’s Project Pro Rata
Portion of the difference between the Closing Working Capital and the Estimated Closing Working Capital. 
  
 (g) For purposes of this Section 2.4, the following terms have the meanings set forth below: 
  

	 	(i)	“Current Assets” means, without duplication, all current assets of the Company determined in accordance with the principles set out in Section 2.5 and Schedule 2.5.

  

 -16- 

	 	(ii)	“Current Liabilities” means, without duplication, all current liabilities of the Company determined in accordance with the principles set out in Section 2.5 and
Schedule 2.5 excluding any reserves for contingent liabilities relating to litigation matters. 

  

	 	(iii)	“Working Capital” means Current Assets minus Current Liabilities. 

  
 (h) Any adjustment paid pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be treated by all of the parties as an adjustment to the Closing
Date Consideration for all purposes. 
  
 (i) The Estimated Closing
Working Capital and the Closing Working Capital used for purposes of this Section 2.4 shall, for all purposes, be the same as the “Estimated Closing Working Capital” and “Closing Working Capital” that are used for purposes of
Section 2.3 of the Redemption Agreement. Without limitation of the foregoing, (i) a disagreement with respect to the “Closing Working Capital” under this Agreement shall also constitute a disagreement with respect to the “Closing
Working Capital” under the Redemption Agreement, a disagreement with respect to the “Closing Working Capital” under the Redemption Agreement shall also constitute a disagreement with respect to the Closing Working Capital under this
Agreement, and disagreements with respect to the Closing Working Capital shall be resolved in the same manner, and in the same amount, under both this Agreement and the Redemption Agreement; (ii) the Partnership agrees to take, and to cause the
Company to take, identical positions and actions, including actions with respect to settlement of any contested amount, under each of this Agreement and the Redemption Agreement with respect to the calculation of Closing Working Capital; and (iii)
the Transferors agree to take identical positions and actions, including actions with respect to settlement of any contested amount, under this Agreement with respect to the calculation of Closing Working Capital as Urban takes under the Redemption
Agreement with respect to the calculation of Closing Working Capital. 
  
 (j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein but without duplication of any other adjustment to the amounts paid to the Transferors hereunder, (i) if the amount of the incentive management fee for the year-to-date period
ended at the Effective Time included in the Closing Working Capital Statement exceeds the amount of such incentive fee for such period finally determined to be actually payable to the Operator under the Management Agreement, the Partnership shall,
within fifteen days of such determination, pay to each of the Transferors an amount equal to such Transferor’s Project Pro Rata Portion of such excess and (ii) if the amount of the incentive management fee for the year-to-date period ended on
the Closing Date included in the Closing Working Capital Statement is less than the amount of such incentive fee for such period finally determined to be actually payable to the Operator under the Management Agreement, each of the Transferors shall,
within fifteen days of such determination, pay to the Partnership an amount equal to such Transferor’s Project Pro Rata Portion of such shortfall. The amount of any payment made to a Transferor pursuant to this Section 2.4(j) shall be in the
Agreed Form of Consideration. 
  

 -17- 

 2.5 Principles for Preparation of Working Capital Statements. The Estimated Working Capital
Statement and the Closing Working Capital Statement (collectively, the “Working Capital Statements”) shall each be prepared as at the Effective Time and each component of such Working Capital Statements described in this Section 2.5
shall be reflected in accordance with the following principles and in accordance with Schedule 2.5 (and the calculation of each such item shall be made without duplication of any other item): 
  

	 	(a)	Cash. The Working Capital Statements shall record all petty cash funds at the Project, all cash in any operating or other accounts of the Project (including any accounts of,
or held by, the Operator in respect of the Project) and the Company at the Effective Time (collectively, the “Closing Cash”). All Closing Cash shall, except as otherwise provided herein, constitute a Current Asset for purposes of
calculating Working Capital hereunder. The Partnership and the Transferors shall make reasonable mutually satisfactory arrangements for counting such cash and determining the balances in the operating accounts as of the Effective Time. The Working
Capital Statements shall also record the following adjustments to such Closing Cash to the extent required: 

  

	 	(i)	the Closing Cash shall only take account of one-half ( 1/2) of the revenue from hotel rooms and parking at the Project for the night preceding the Closing; 

  

	 	(ii)	the Closing Cash shall be decreased by the amount of any outstanding tenant improvement obligations, outstanding leasing commissions or other outstanding landlord expenses in
connection with any Tenant Leases as of the Effective Time, to the extent such amount is not included as a Current Liability; provided, however, that any outstanding tenant improvement obligations, leasing commissions or other outstanding landlord
expenses in connection with (A) any Tenant Leases that are approved by the Partnership and entered into after the date of this Agreement or (B) the renewal or extension at the option of the tenant under a Tenant Lease which are payable pursuant to
the terms of a Tenant Lease or any commission agreement that is listed on a Schedule to this Agreement shall be for the account of the Partnership and shall not decrease Closing Cash or constitute a Current Liability; and 

 

	 	(iii)	Closing Cash shall include all escrows held under the Existing Financing Documents immediately prior to the Defeasance and the Partnership shall be entitled to receive, directly or
indirectly, all such escrows. 

  

 -18- 

	 	(b)	Accounts Receivable. The Working Capital Statements shall include, as a Current Asset, the amount of 98% of all accounts receivable of the Company that have been outstanding
for fewer than sixty (60) days as of the Effective Time (excluding any overdue payments from tenants under the Tenant Leases, which shall be paid to the Transferors as collected, it being understood and agreed that any payments received from a
tenant under a Tenant Lease in respect of which there is an overdue payment as of the Effective Time shall be applied to the invoice attached to, or to the invoice or period referred to in, such payment, or if no such invoice or period is so
attached or referred to, such payments will be applied to the amounts outstanding in respect of the period prior to the Effective Time and to amounts outstanding in respect of the period after the Effective Time in the respective pro rata portions
of such outstanding amounts). The Closing Date Consideration shall be subject to adjustment in respect of accounts receivable of the Company as provided in Section 2.6 hereof. 

  

	 	(c)	Accounts Payable. The Working Capital Statements shall reflect a Current Liability at Closing for all accounts payable of the Company which have accrued prior to the
Effective Time with respect to purchases of goods and services delivered prior to the Effective Time but not with respect to purchases of goods or services to be delivered on or after the Effective Time. Accounts payable shall mean the following
items, in each case to the extent incurred by or for the benefit of the Company or the Project: (i) open accounts payable to trade vendors or suppliers of the Project’s hotel, restaurants, bars or similar facilities, (ii) amounts payable under
any Service and Supply Contracts and Equipment Leases, (iii) amounts payable in respect of real estate taxes and utility charges (including charges for steam, water, electricity, gas and oil relating to the Project), and (iv) management fees payable
under the Management Agreement, including any incentive management fees. 

  

	 	(d)	Employee Expenses. The Working Capital Statement shall reflect a Current Liability for any accrued and unpaid sick, personal and vacation days of the Company’s employees
or for such obligations with respect to employees of the Operator for which the owner of the Project is responsible which have accrued prior to the Effective Time and any unfunded or underfunded pension obligations with respect to the Company’s
employees or for such obligations with respect to employees of the Operator for which the owner of the Project is responsible which have accrued prior to the Effective Time. 

  

	 	(e)	No Duplication. All calculations of Estimated Closing Working Capital and Closing Working Capital shall be made without duplication of any item. For example, if an item is
included as a Current Liability on a Working Capital Statement, such item shall not also be reduced from, or otherwise reduce, the amount of cash reflected on such Working Capital Statement. In no event shall any accounts payable in respect of goods
or 

  

 -19- 

 services to be delivered on or after the Effective Time constitute a Current Liability or a deduction to
Current Assets unless any such payment is made to restore aggregate levels of Consumables or FF&E to within the range of the historical aggregate levels at which Consumables or FF&E have been maintained (as evidenced by the Operator’s
books and records). 
  

	 	(f)	Exclusion of Debt Under Existing Financing Documents, Refinancing Debt and Defeasance. Each of the Estimated Closing Working Capital and the Closing Working Capital shall be
prepared as of the time immediately before the consummation of, and without giving effect to, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Redemption Agreement, including the Restructuring, the incurrence of the Refinancing Debt, the
Defeasance and the Redemption. Accordingly, the indebtedness outstanding under the Existing Financing Documents, the Defeasance (including all costs incurred in connection therewith) and the incurrence of the Refinancing Debt, including any
liabilities relating to the Defeasance or liabilities and escrows relating to the Refinancing Debt, and the receipt and application of the proceeds therefrom and the Redemption and all payments (whether or not the source of such payment is the
Refinancing Debt) made to Urban in connection therewith shall be ignored and excluded for all purposes of calculating the Estimated Closing Working Capital and Closing Working Capital. Without limitation of the foregoing, in the event the proceeds
of the Refinancing Debt are insufficient to pay in full the Defeasance, the costs relating to the incurrence of the Refinancing Debt and the payment of all amounts to be paid to Urban (including any amounts in respect of the Estimated Closing
Working Capital) under the Redemption Agreement on the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Redemption Agreement, part of the Current Assets may be used to pay any such amounts, but no reduction in the amount of the Estimated Closing
Working Capital or Closing Working Capital shall be made in respect of such payment. Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, there shall be no distribution of Working Capital of the Company to the members of the Company during the
period beginning as of the time as of which the Estimated Working Capital Statement is prepared and ending at the Closing, and in no event shall any amount included as a Current Asset on a Working Capital Statement be used to pay any expenses for
which the Transferors are responsible pursuant to Section 7.6. 

  

	 	(g)	Brokerage Commission. The brokerage commission payable to Pinnacle in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall constitute a Current Liability for
purposes of the Estimated Closing Working Capital and the Closing Working Capital. 

  

	 	(h)	Certain Cancellations. Estimated Closing Working Capital and Closing Working Capital shall be reduced by any amounts received by the Operator or the Company prior to the
Effective Time in respect of cancellations of room nights booked for nights on and after the Closing Date or other events booked for the Closing Date or thereafter. 

  

 -20- 

	 	(i)	Capital Expenditures. If the capital expenditure projects listed on Schedule 2.5(i) are not completed and paid for prior to the Effective Time, the amount required to
complete and pay for such projects shall constitute a Current Liability for purposes of the Estimated Closing Working Capital and the Closing Working Capital. 

  

	 	(j)	Starwood Marketing Adjustment. Estimated Closing Working Capital and Closing Working Capital shall be increased by an amount equal to 0.4% of the revenues for the Project
during the period beginning on January 1, 2005 and ending on the Closing Date to the extent that the Operator has not already paid any such amount to the Company prior to the Closing Date. 

  

	 	(k)	Interest Rate Option Agreement. If, as of the Closing Date, the interest rate option agreement, dated August 3, 2005, purchased by the Company in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Interest Rate Option Agreement”) affects the interest rate that would otherwise be payable on the Refinancing Debt, the Estimated Closing Working Capital and Closing Working capital
shall be increased by an amount equal to $19,000. The Transferors agree that they will not permit the Company to amend, modify or terminate the Interest Rate Option Agreement without the prior consent of the Partnership prior to the Closing Date.

  
 2.6 Adjustment for Accounts Receivable.

  
 (a) On the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after
the Closing Date, the Partnership shall deliver to the Transferors a statement, dated as of such date (the “Accounts Receivable Statement”), setting forth, with respect to each account receivable included in the calculation of the
Closing Working Capital, the amount of such account receivable that has been collected as of the date of the Accounts Receivable Statement (the “Collected Accounts”). In the event that the Transferors disagree with the Accounts
Receivable Statement, the dispute resolution provisions of Section 2.4 relating to the Closing Working Capital Statement shall apply to the resolution of any disputes regarding the Accounts Receivable Statement. 
  
 (b) If the amount of the Collected Accounts (as finally determined pursuant
to this Section 2.6) is greater than the credit for accounts receivable made in connection with the calculation of Working Capital (i.e., 98% of such accounts receivable), then the Partnership shall pay to each of the Transferors an amount equal to
such Transferor’s Project Pro Rata Portion of the amount of such excess. If the amount of the Collected Accounts (as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.6) is less than the credit for accounts receivable made in connection with the
calculation of Working Capital (i.e., 98% of such accounts receivable), then each of the Transferors shall pay to the 
  

 -21- 

 Partnership an amount equal to such Transferor’s Project Pro Rata Portion of the amount of such shortfall. The
amount of any such payments made pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be in the Agreed Form of Consideration. 
  
 (c) The Partnership shall instruct the Operator to use commercially reasonable efforts (with no obligation to sue) in accordance with the Operator’s
past practice to collect any overdue payments from tenants under Tenant Leases and from accounts receivable that have been outstanding for sixty (60) days or more as of the Effective Time (which accounts receivable shall not constitute Current
Assets) and any “attrition income” or cancellation fees payable in respect of any shortfalls against guaranteed bookings relating to nights preceding the Effective Time (it being understood and agreed that no amount of such “attrition
income” or cancellation fees shall be included as a Current Asset on any Working Capital Statement) and remit such payments to the Transferors promptly upon receipt thereof. 
  
 (d) Without limitation of the foregoing, the Partnership will instruct the Operator to use commercially reasonable efforts

stock, beneficial interests or other equity interests of the REIT, the Partnership and each Subsidiary listed in the REIT Reports have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and, in the case of corporate stock only, non-assessable.

  

	 	(e)	Capitalization. As of December 31, 2004, the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the REIT and the issued and outstanding units of limited partnership interest
of the Partnership were each as set forth in Schedule 4.2(e). 

  

	 	(f)	Tax Matters. 

  

	 	(i)	The REIT, beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 2001 and through December 31, 2004 (i) has been subject to taxation as a real estate investment trust within the meaning
of the Code and has satisfied all requirements to qualify as a real estate investment trust within the meaning of the Code for such years, (ii) has operated, and intends to continue to operate, in such a manner as to qualify as a real estate
investment trust for the tax year ending December 31, 2005, and (iii) has not taken or omitted to take any action which would result in a challenge to its status as a real estate investment trust, and to the Knowledge of the Partnership, no such

  

 -34- 

 challenge is pending or threatened. No member of the REIT Group holds any asset that is subject to a
consent filed pursuant to Section 341(f) of the Code and the regulations thereunder. 
  

	 	(ii)	To the Knowledge of the Partnership, each member of the REIT Group and each Subsidiary has (A) timely filed with the appropriate taxing authority all Tax Returns required to be
filed by it (after giving effect to any filing extension granted by any Governmental Authority) and such Tax Returns were complete and accurate in all material respects and (B) has paid all Taxes shown as owed by each member of the REIT Group or any
of the Subsidiaries on any Tax Return other than Taxes being contested in good faith and for which adequate reserves have been taken except, in each case, for such failures as could not reasonably be expected to have a REIT Group Material Adverse
Effect. No member of the REIT Group or any of the Subsidiaries has executed or filed with the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority any agreement now in effect extending the period for assessment or collection of any Tax. Except as
set forth in Schedule 4.2(f), no member of the REIT Group or any of the Subsidiaries is a party to any material pending action or proceedings by any taxing authority for assessment or collection of any Tax, and no material claim for assessment or
collection of any Tax has been asserted against it. No claim has been made by an authority in a jurisdiction where a member of the REIT Group or any of the Subsidiaries does not file Tax Returns that it is or may be subject to taxation by the
jurisdiction. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.2(f), there is no material dispute or claim concerning any Tax liability of a member of the REIT Group or any of the Subsidiaries, (x) claimed or raised by any taxing authority in writing or (y) as to
which a member of the REIT Group or any of the Subsidiaries has Knowledge, and no member of the REIT Group or the Subsidiaries has entered into or intends to enter into any agreements with any taxing authority, including but not limited to closing
agreements, which could reasonably be expected to have a REIT Group Material Adverse Effect. 

  

	 	(iii)	Since January 1, 2004, no member of the REIT Group or the Subsidiaries has incurred (i) any material liability for Taxes under Sections 857(b), 860(c) or 4981 of the Code which
could reasonably be expected to have a REIT Group Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) a material liability for Taxes other than Taxes incurred in connection with the ordinary course of business and such other liability for Taxes as could not be
reasonably expected to have a REIT Group Material Adverse Effect. Except as described in Schedule 4.2(f), to the Knowledge of the Partnership, no event has occurred, and no condition or circumstances exists, 

  

 -35- 

 which presents a material risk that any material Tax described in the preceding sentence with respect to
the period described in said sentence will be imposed upon a member of the REIT or the Subsidiaries. 
  

	 	(iv)	The Partnership was not a publicly traded partnership within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder for any taxable year ending before
January 1, 2005. In addition, no Subsidiary has taken the position, for federal income tax purposes, that it is a publicly traded partnership within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder for any taxable
year ending before January 1, 2005. 

  

	 	(g)	Compliance with Organizational Documents. The REIT has complied in all material respects with all provisions of its declaration of trust and by-laws, in each case as in
effect on the date hereof; the Partnership has complied in all material respects with all provisions of its certificate of limited partnership and partnership agreement, in each case as in effect on the date hereof. 

  

	 	(h)	Compliance with Laws. To the Knowledge of the Partnership, except as disclosed in the REIT Reports, neither the REIT nor the Partnership, nor any Subsidiary thereof, is in
violation of any statute, Law, ordinance, regulation, rule, judgment, decree or order of any Governmental Authority applicable to its business, properties, or operations, except for such violations and failures to comply as could not, in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse affect on such entity’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any Transaction Document or have a REIT Group Material Adverse Effect. 

  
 ARTICLE 5. CONDITIONS TO CLOSING. 
  
 5.1 Completion of Due Diligence; Title.

 (b) The Partnership acknowledges that it has received from the Transferors a
current pro forma title insurance policy for the Project (the “Title Commitment”) together with legible copies of all exceptions appearing in such Title Commitment. Attached as Schedule 5.1(b) is a copy of a pro-forma title
insurance policy to be delivered by the Title Company on the Closing Date (the “Pro-Forma Title Policy”) All matters in the Pro-Forma Title Policy are hereby deemed to be “Permitted Exceptions”. In addition to the
foregoing, all matters affecting title to the Project first disclosed in any title continuation report received by the Partnership from the Title Company following the date hereof which are not disapproved by the Partnership in writing within five
(5) Business Days following the receipt by the Partnership of such title continuation report, time being of the essence, shall also be deemed to be “Permitted Exceptions”. If the Partnership disapproves any such matters which are
not Permitted Exceptions, the Transferors may, but shall not be obligated to, cure such matters, except as expressly set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Transferors shall, prior to the Closing Date (i) discharge any monetary liens
on the Project (other than liens pursuant to the Existing Financing Documents (which liens shall be discharged in connection with the Defeasance) or relating to the Refinancing Documents) that they have voluntarily caused to be placed on the Project
and that can be discharged by a liquidated amount and (ii) discharge or cause to be insured over by the Title Company in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Partnership any other monetary liens on the Project (other than liens pursuant to the
Existing Financing Documents (which liens shall be discharged in connection with the Defeasance) or relating to the Refinancing Documents) up to $1,000,000 in the aggregate. The Partnership acknowledges that it has received from the Transferors an
ALTA/ACSM survey of the Project (the “Survey”), including evidence identifying whether the Project is in a 100-year flood plain. As a condition to Closing, the Survey must be certified to the Partnership and the Title Company and to
be amended so that the legal description of the Land contained therein conforms to the legal description of the Land contained in the Pro-Forma Title Policy.

further that in determining whether there has been an inaccuracy in, or breach of, a representation or warranty contained in this Agreement for purposes of this Section 5.2(b), the inclusion of an item on a Schedule to this Agreement as an exception

 ARTICLE 6. OPERATION OF THE PROJECT PRIOR TO CLOSING; OTHER COVENANTS. 
  
 6.1 Interim Covenants. From and after the date hereof through and including the Closing Date: 
  

	 	(a)	the Transferors shall not (and will not permit Urban to) instruct or request the Operator to operate and maintain the Project other than in substantially the same manner as it is
currently being operated and maintained (normal wear and tear and damage by casualty excepted), including maintaining all Consumables and FF&E within the range of the historical levels at which such items have been maintained (as evidenced by
the Operator’s books and records); 

  

	 	(b)	the Transferors shall not (and will not permit Urban to) instruct or request the Operator to maintain the Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment other than in the ordinary course of
business, and not remove any of the Furniture, Fixtures or Equipment from the Project unless replaced with Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment of a quality comparable to that removed; 

  

	 	(c)	the Transferors shall not (and will not permit Urban to) instruct or request the Operator to fail to maintain, or cause to be maintained, all existing insurance carried by the
Company on the Improvements so long as such insurance is available on commercially reasonable terms; 

  

	 	(d)	without the prior written consent of the Partnership, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, the Transferors shall not (and will not permit Urban
to) instruct or request the Operator to (i) enter into any new Project Agreements providing for annual payments in excess of $50,000 in the aggregate and that are not terminable on less than thirty (30) days prior written notice without penalty that
is not paid by the Transferors, or materially modify, amend, terminate, cancel or grant any material concessions regarding any existing Project Agreements, including the Management Agreement, unless any such step is necessary

  

 -41- 

 or appropriate to operate or maintain the Project in the manner required by this Agreement or is required
by applicable Law or by the Existing Financing Documents or by the insurance policies relating to the Project (in which event the Partnership’s consent shall not be required) or (ii) enter into any new Tenant Leases or any amendments to any
existing Tenant Leases or (iii) except in connection with the Defeasance, amend or modify in any material respect any of the Existing Financing Documents or make any prohibited prepayments under the Existing Financing Documents; 
  

	 	(e)	without the prior written consent of the Partnership, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, the Transferors shall not (and will not permit Urban
to) amend or modify the Master Lease or the Management Agreement, and the Transferors will cause the Company to perform in all material respects its obligations under the Existing Financing Documents, the Master Lease and the Management Agreement;

  

	 	(f)	without the prior written consent of the Partnership, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, and except in the case of emergencies or as required
by applicable Law or by any insurance company issuing insurance covering the Project, the Transferors shall not (and will not permit Urban to) make, or obligate the Company to make, any material alterations or modifications to the Project;

  

	 	(g)	notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Transferors shall have the right to cancel, or to instruct the Operator to cancel, any Equipment Lease if, in the
reasonable judgment of the Transferors, the cost of such cancellation would be less than the cost of paying any fees required to be paid in respect of such Equipment Lease in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby; and

  

	 	(h)	except as contemplated by the Redemption Agreement, or as permitted by Section 2.5(f), none of the proceeds of the Refinancing Debt shall be paid to any of the Current Owners.

  
 6.2 Miscellaneous Interim and Other
Covenants. 
  
 (a) The Transferors shall: (i) use
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain estoppels from tenants under those Tenant Leases that contain covenants from the tenants to provide such estoppels, (ii) provide the affidavit to the Title Company contemplated by Section 5.2(d) hereof, and
(iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from the landlord under the Master Lease an estoppel substantially in the form of Schedule 6.2(a), and to obtain an estoppel under the Chilled Water Agreement and an estoppel under the REA
Agreement; provided, however, that the receipt of any such estoppels described in clause (i) or (iii) of this sentence shall not be a condition to the obligations of the Partnership or LaSalle Lessee to consummate the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the date hereof, the Partnership shall, at 
  

 -42- 

 its election, have the right to direct the process through which the parties will attempt to obtain the estoppel from the
landlord under the Master Lease; provided that representatives of the Current Owners will have the right to participate in any meetings or teleconferences with representatives of the landlord under the Master Lease and the Partnership shall provide
the Current Owners with copies of all correspondence with such landlord (it being understood and agreed that, prior to sending any such correspondence to such landlord, the Partnership shall provide drafts thereof to Madison Grose, as representative
of the Current Owners, and shall accommodate any comments or changes to such correspondence as shall reasonably be made by Mr. Grose (it being understood and agreed that any failure by Mr. Grose to respond within 24 hours of the receipt of such
draft shall be deemed to be approval by the Current Owners of such draft correspondence)). The Partnership agrees that, prior to the Closing, its discussions with the landlord shall be limited to trying to obtain such estoppel and that it will not
attempt to modify any of the terms of the Master Lease and it will not bind, or attempt to bind, the Company, the Westban Venture or any of the Current Owners to any agreement with the landlord under the Master Lease. In the event that the landlord
under the Master Lease advises or suggests, whether verbally or in writing, that it will refuse to execute and deliver an estoppel in the form of Schedule 6.2(a), the Current Owners shall have the right to reassume the direction of the process
through which the parties will attempt to obtain such estoppel, and upon such assumption, but only upon such assumption, by the Current Owners, the receipt of an executed estoppel from the landlord under the Master Lease in the form of Schedule
6.2(a) shall become a condition to the obligations of the Partnership to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
  
 (b) Each of the Partnership and the Transferors shall cooperate with, and provide reasonable assistance to, each other with a view to causing the
Restructuring, the obtaining of the Refinancing Debt, the Defeasance and the Redemption to occur, including by (i) using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consents and approvals that are conditions to the respective obligations of the
parties under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the required consents to the Defeasance and the Redemption, (ii) if required by the lender of the Refinancing Debt, forming a new special purpose entity to own the Project and assigning
agreements from the Westban Venture to such new special purpose entity and (iii) causing the Westban Venture to assign to such new special purpose entity the Project Agreements to which the Westban Venture is currently a party and any applicable
licenses or permits held by the Westban Venture or its Affiliate (to the extent assignable). 
  
 (c) Each of the Partnership and the Transferors shall cooperate with one another in obtaining the Refinancing Debt on the terms set forth in Schedule 6.2(c) and otherwise on commercially reasonable terms, including
reasonably approving and executing the Refinancing Documents. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, it is understood and agreed that (i) Refinancing Debt containing the terms and conditions set forth on Schedule 6.2(c)
hereto and otherwise on commercially reasonable terms shall be deemed to be approved by the parties hereto; (ii) none of the Current Owners or any of their respective Affiliates (other than the Company) shall be required to provide any guarantee,
non-recourse carve-out, indemnity or other credit support, or otherwise incur any obligation or liability, in respect of the Refinancing Debt or under the 
  

 -43- 

 Refinancing Documents (including any representations, warranties, covenants or indemnities thereunder); (iii) the
Refinancing Debt shall expressly provide that, in the event such Refinancing Debt shall have been funded but the transactions contemplated hereby are not consummated, such Refinancing Debt may be repaid without additional cost or penalty other than
the payment of accrued and unpaid interest; and (iv) the terms of the Defeasance shall provide that, in the event the transactions contemplated hereby are not consummated, such Defeasance may be unwound (without effecting any prepayment of, or
default with respect to, the Existing Financing Documents) without additional cost or penalty other than compensating the purchaser of the Defeasance collateral for any losses incurred by it in connection with the immediate resale of such Defeasance
collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing except as contemplated by Section 6.2(i), the Company shall not be required to enter into the Defeasance or the Refinancing Documents unless the terms and conditions of clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) of the
preceding sentence shall have been satisfied, and in the event such terms and conditions are not so satisfied, (a) the Transferors shall not be deemed to have breached this agreement if the Company does not consummate the Restructuring, the
Defeasance, or the incurrence of the Refinancing Debt, (b) the Partnership shall not have the right to seek specific performance of this Agreement or the Redemption Agreement, and (c) this Agreement shall terminate and the Earnest Money shall be
returned to the Partnership. 
  
 (d) The Transferors shall, upon
consummation of the Redemption, assign or cause to be assigned the Redemption Agreement and the indemnity escrow agreement executed by Urban, the Escrow Agent and Westban Venture in connection therewith to the Company, and the Company shall assume
the rights and obligations of the Westban Venture under the Redemption Agreement and such indemnity escrow agreement. The parties expressly agree that, upon such assignment of the Redemption Agreement and such indemnity escrow agreement, neither the
Westban Venture nor the Transferors shall have any obligations or liabilities under the Redemption Agreement and the Partnership and the REIT agree that neither they nor any of their respective affiliates shall have or make any claims against the
Westban Venture, either of the Transferors or any of their respective affiliates under either the Redemption Agreement or the indemnity escrow agreement executed in connection with the Redemption Agreement. 
  
 (e) The Transferors shall not permit the Redemption Agreement to be modified
or amended and shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the conditions to the obligations of the parties thereto that are in the control of the Transferors to be satisfied. In addition, in the event the Partnership seeks specific
performance of this Agreement as permitted pursuant to the terms hereof and the Transferors do not contest the seeking of such remedy, the Transferors will, at the request and at the expense and cost solely of the Partnership, cause Westban Venture
to seek specific performance of the Redemption Agreement. 
  
 (f)
The Transferors will cause the Westban Venture partnership agreement to be amended effective immediately before the Redemption to provide that the capital accounts of the partners in the Westban Venture will be maintained in accordance with Treasury
Regulations issued under Code Section 704(b) and to revalue the property of the Westban Venture in accordance with such Treasury Regulations and will cause the Company to make a timely election under Section 754 of the Code, effective for the
taxable year that includes the Closing Date. 
  

 -44- 

 (g) The Partnership will cause the Transferred Interests at all times to be held directly or indirectly
for a period of two years following the Closing Date in the Partnership and LaSalle Lessee (or at least one other direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership that is not a disregarded entity under the Code). 
  
 (h) Subject to the provisions of Section 6.2(c), it is understood and agreed
that the Partnership shall be responsible for negotiating the terms and conditions of the Refinancing Documents. The Partnership shall keep the Transferors regularly informed of the status of the negotiations relating to the Refinancing Debt and
without limiting the provisions of Section 6.2(c), shall give the Transferors the opportunity to review and approve, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, any provision of the documentation relating to the Refinancing Debt regarding the
ability of the borrower of the Refinancing Debt to repay such Refinancing Debt without additional cost, other than accrued interest, or penalty if the transactions contemplated hereby are not consummated. The Partnership shall appoint DLA Piper
Rudnick Gray Cary US LLP as special finance counsel (the “Special Finance Counsel”) to provide legal opinions with respect to any new subsidiary of the Company party to any of the Refinancing Documents (the “Loan
Opinions”) in connection with the incurrence and closing of the Refinancing Debt. For purposes of such Loan Opinions, the Special Finance Counsel shall be entitled to rely on the representations and warranties of the parties set forth in
this Agreement, and in any certificates or other instruments required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement. In addition, the Transferors and the Company and its Affiliates shall provide or cause to be provided to the Special Finance Counsel
appropriate certificates of the Company and its Affiliates identifying (i) the governing instruments of such entity, (ii) all resolutions of the board of directors (or comparable body) taken in connection with the Refinancing Debt and the Defeasance
and (iii) the signature of any corporate officer or other authorized signatory of such entity who has executed any of the documents or instruments relating to the Refinancing Debt and the Defeasance. The Transferors shall also provide or cause to be
provided any legal opinions respecting the Company’s organization, existence, good standing, corporate authority, non-contravention and similar matters as shall be reasonably required in connection with the Defeasance, it being mutually agreed
and understood, however, that the Loan Opinions will cover such matters in connection with the Refinancing Debt and the enforcement of the documents evidencing the Refinancing Debt. 
  
 (i) In the event that, as of the scheduled Closing Date, the third party lender selected by the Partnership is not willing
to provide the Refinancing Debt at an effective interest rate of 6% per annum or less (after giving effect to the Interest Rate Option Agreement) or is otherwise unwilling to provide the Refinancing Debt on the terms specified on Schedule 6.2(c) or
other commercially reasonable terms, then: (i) the Closing will be adjourned until October 3, 2005; provided, however, that the Closing Date may, at the request of the Transferors or the Partnership be adjourned to a date prior to October 3, 2005 as
long as the party or parties making the request so to accelerate the Closing Date pays any amount of interest on the Existing Debt in excess of the amount of 
  

 -45- 

 interest accrued through the actual date of the Defeasance and other incremental costs incurred in connection with the
acceleration of such postponed Closing Date; (ii) the Partnership and/or the REIT will lend to the Company an amount sufficient to fund the Defeasance and to enable the Westban Venture to fund the Redemption on the terms and conditions set forth in

(ii) claims by guests at the Project arising out of events occurring prior to Closing, (iii) obligations to pay any taxes in connection with the operation of the Project prior to Closing, and (iv) liabilities or obligations with respect to employees
at the Project accruing prior to Closing but excluding any obligations, liabilities or claims arising or accruing from and after the Closing Date under any lien, encumbrance or contract that is permitted by or contemplated under any other term or
provision of this Agreement or included on a Schedule to this Agreement; (b) any loss or damage to the Partnership resulting from any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of the Transferors (except that, with respect to any

 contained in Section 3.1(a), 3.1(b), 3.1(c), 3.1(q), 3.1(u) or 3.2, such Transferor shall be liable for all of such loss
or damage to the Partnership resulting from such breach but the other Transferor shall not be liable for any such loss or damage resulting from such breach) or resulting from any breach or default by the Transferors under this Agreement (unless this
Agreement is terminated, in which case Article 11 shall govern); (c) any claims for brokerage commissions or fees in connection with leases of the Project executed prior to the Closing (other than any such leases that are approved by the Partnership
pursuant to the terms hereof and other than any such claims that arise in connection with the renewal or extension at the option of the tenant under a Tenant Lease which is payable pursuant to the terms of a Tenant Lease or any commission agreement
that is listed on a Schedule to this Agreement) except to the extent that such commissions have been included as a Current Liability on the Working Capital Statements; (d) any obligations existing on the Closing Date for tenant alterations,
improvements and punchlist items in connection with the Project arising out of Tenant Leases executed prior to Closing (other than any such leases that are approved by the Partnership pursuant to the terms hereof and other than any such obligations
that arise in connection with the renewal or extension at the option of the tenant under a Tenant Lease which is payable pursuant to the terms of a Tenant Lease or any commission agreement that is listed on a Schedule to this Agreement); (e) any
wages, salaries, pension liabilities or fringe benefits accruing prior to Closing for the employees of the Company or for employees of the Operator for which the owner of the Project is responsible under the terms of the Management Agreement; (f)
any and all state or local documentary or transfer taxes payable in connection with the transfer of the Transferred Interests to the Partnership provided in this Agreement or the redemption of Urban’s interest in the Westban Venture pursuant to
the Redemption Agreement; and (g) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Partnership Indemnified Parties, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, related to any actual or threatened actions, suits or judgments incident to any of the
foregoing, whether or not any such action or suit is ever filed or such judgment is ever rendered. 
  
 8.2 Indemnification Obligations of the Partnership. 
  
 (a) The Partnership and the REIT shall hold harmless, indemnify and defend the Transferors and their respective direct or indirect owners, partners,
shareholders, officers, directors, employees, and agents (the “Transferor Indemnified Parties”) from and against: (i) any and all obligations, liabilities, claims, liens or encumbrances (including those included as Liabilities for
purposes of calculating Estimated Closing Working Capital or Closing Working Capital), whether direct, contingent or consequential and no matter how arising, in any way related to or arising from the Transferred Interests or the Project on or after

hereunder), and (D) liabilities or obligations with respect to employees at the Project accruing on or after the Closing Date; (ii) any loss or damage to any Transferor Indemnified Party resulting from any inaccuracy in or breach of any
representation or warranty of the Partnership or the REIT 
  

 -52- 

 or resulting from any breach or default by the Partnership or the REIT under this Agreement or any of the other
Transaction Agreements (subject, in the case of the Tax Protection Agreement, to the terms and conditions thereof); (iii) any wages, salaries, pension liabilities or fringe benefits accruing on or after the Closing Date for the employees of the
Partnership or employees of the Operator for which the owner of the Project is responsible under the terms of the Management Agreement; and (iv) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Transferor Indemnified Parties, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees, related to any actual or threatened actions, suits or judgments incident to any of the foregoing, whether or not any such action or suit is ever filed or such judgment is ever rendered. 
  
 (b) In addition, the Partnership shall hold harmless, indemnify and defend
any Transferor Indemnified Party from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to which such Transferor Indemnified Party may become subject under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, or other federal, state or provincial law
regulation, common law or otherwise, or in connection with the delivery by the Transferors of the management representation letters described in Section 12.15, insofar as any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any financial or other information relating to the Company or the Project included in any registration statement, prospectus or other offering document or report of the REIT, the Partnership or any of
their Affiliates, and the Partnership will reimburse, as incurred, each such Transferor Indemnified Party and any partner, director, officer, employee, agent or controlling person thereof, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such
Transferor Indemnified Party or such partner, director, officer, employee, agent or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending against or appearing as a third-party witness in connection with any such loss, claim, damage,
liability, expense or action. 
  
 (c) In circumstances in which
the indemnity agreement provided for in the preceding paragraph of this Section 8.2 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof), each indemnifying party, in order to provide for just and equitable contribution, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other from the offering of the securities in connection with
which such liability arose or (ii) if the allocation provided by the foregoing clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the
indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions or alleged statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof). 
  
 (d) No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of
Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) or willful misconduct shall be entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Section 8.2 to the extent related to such fraudulent misrepresentation or willful misconduct from any person who was not guilty of
such fraudulent misrepresentation or willful misconduct. 
  

 -53- 

 (e) In connection with any matter as to which a Transferor Indemnified Party makes a claim for
indemnification under Section 8.2(b), all out-of-pocket costs of defending any such matter, including out-of-pocket costs, attorneys’ fees, accountants’ fees, and disbursements and costs of attachment or similar bonds, investigations,
(collectively, “Expenses”), in connection with any such matter shall be paid by the Partnership and the REIT in advance upon request of such Transferor Indemnified Party that the Partnership and the REIT pay such Expenses; provided,
however that such Transferor Indemnified Party shall be required to reimburse the Partnership or the REIT, as applicable, for Expenses with respect to which such Transferor Indemnified Party is determined by a non-appealable final decision from a
court of competent jurisdiction not to be entitled to indemnification. 
  
 8.3 Claim Procedures. Any indemnified party seeking indemnification under this Agreement (each, an “Indemnified Party”) shall, within the relevant limitation period provided in Section 12.3 to the extent applicable,
promptly give the indemnifying party or parties (each, the “Indemnifying Party”) written notice (a “Claim Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claims for indemnification hereunder
and shall include in the Claims Notice (if then known) the amount or method of computation of the amount of such claim and a reference to the provision of this Agreement or any agreement, certificate or instrument delivered pursuant to this
Agreement upon which such claim is based; provided, that the Indemnified Party shall provide a Claim Notice in respect of any action at law or in equity by or against a third party as to which indemnification will be sought as promptly as possible
after the action or suit is commenced, it being understood that the failure to give such Claim Notice shall not relieve or otherwise affect the obligation of the Indemnifying Party to provide indemnification hereunder except to the extent the rights
of the Indemnifying Party have been prejudiced thereby. 
  
 8.4
Defense of Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its own cost, to participate jointly in the defense of any claim or demand in connection with which the Indemnified Party has claimed indemnification under this Article 8, and
may elect to take over the defense of such claim or demand through counsel of its own choosing by so notifying the Indemnified Party within sixty (60) days of receipt of the Indemnified Party’s notice of such claim or demand; provided the
Indemnified Party has acknowledged in writing to the Indemnifying Party that the Indemnifying Party is responsible for such claim or demand. If the Indemnifying Party elects to take over the defense of any claim or demand pursuant to its right under
this Article 8: 
  

	 	(a)	it shall keep the Indemnified Party reasonably informed as to the status of such matter and shall promptly send copies of all pleadings to the Indemnified Party; and

  

	 	(b)	with respect to any issue involved in such claim or demand, it shall have the sole right to settle or otherwise dispose of such claim or demand on 

  

 -54- 

 such terms as it shall deem appropriate; provided, however, that (x) it shall permit the Indemnified
Party to participate in any settlement or defense through counsel chosen by the Indemnified Party; provided, that the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the Indemnified Party unless both the Partnership and one or more the
Transferors are implicated with respect to such claim or demand, or threatened claim or demand, and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, in each of
which cases the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel (including local counsel) will be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, and all such fees and expenses will be reimbursed as they are incurred, and (y) it shall not settle any claim or
demand without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. So long as the Indemnifying Party is vigorously contesting any such claim or demand in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall
not pay or settle such claim without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 
  
 8.5 Right to Contest. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Indemnified
Party’s notice of such claim or demand that it is responsible for such claim or demand and has elected to take over the defense of such claim or demand, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to contest, compromise or settle such claim or
demand, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, in the exercise of its reasonable judgment; provided, however, that the consent of the Indemnifying Party to any compromise or settlement of such claim or demand shall be required, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 
  
 8.6
Insurance. Contemporaneously with an admission by an Indemnifying Party that it has, or a determination that an Indemnifying Party has, an indemnification obligation under this Article 8, an Indemnified Party shall assign to the Indemnifying
Party, and shall (at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, which costs and expenses may, if the Transferors are the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party so elects, be funded out of the Escrow Fund) cooperate with the Indemnifying
Party in pursuing, any available claims against insurers who may have provided insurance coverage for any losses and shall assign to the Indemnifying Party, any claims or rights it may have against any Person that may reduce the losses otherwise
incurred by the Indemnified Party. Each party agrees that it shall cooperate with the other parties in the defense of any claim or action. If the Transferors are the Indemnifying Party, they shall have the right, subject to the consent of the
Partnership, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, to satisfy a claim loss to which an indemnification claim relates with the Escrow Fund. Without limitation of the foregoing, the amount of the Indemnifying
Party’s liability under this Article shall be determined after taking into account any applicable insurance or other proceeds received by the Indemnified Party and any payments made by any insurance carrier in defending against any claim (it
being understood and agreed that the Indemnified Party shall have no obligation to sue any insurance carrier in respect of insurance coverage). 
  

 -55- 

 8.7 Limitation of Liability; Indemnity Escrow Agreement. 
  
 (a) If the Transferors are the Indemnifying Party, the amount of such
Indemnifying Party’s liability under this Article 8 shall be determined net of any reserves, liability accruals or other provisions for such Losses included in calculating Closing Working Capital or Estimated Closing Working Capital (it being
understood and agreed that there shall be no indemnification obligation of any such Indemnifying Party with respect to any Current Liability included on any such Working Capital Statement). 
  
 (b) IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY INDEMNIFYING PARTY BE LIABLE TO ANY INDEMNIFIED
PARTY FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR OTHER SIMILAR DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUES, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, COST OF CAPITAL OR LOSS OF BUSINESS REPUTATION OR OPPORTUNITY, OR PUNITIVE OR SPECIAL DAMAGES FOR ANY BREACH OR
DEFAULT UNDER, OR ANY ACT OR OMISSION ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, UNDER ANY FORM OF ACTION WHATSOEVER, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE (OTHER THAN INDEMNIFICATION FOR AMOUNTS
PAID OR PAYABLE TO THIRD PARTIES IN RESPECT OF ANY THIRD PARTY CLAIM FOR WHICH INDEMNIFICATION HEREUNDER IS OTHERWISE REQUIRED AND OTHER THAN ACTUAL OUT-OF POCKET COSTS OR EXPENSES INCURRED BY AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY TO REMEDY ANY SUCH BREACH, DEFAULT,
ACT OR OMISSION). By way of example, if the Transferors enter into a below-market lease with a third party before the Closing Date that is not approved by the Partnership pursuant to the terms hereof, the amount by which the aggregate amount of rent
payments that would have been payable under a “market” lease for such space (as reasonably determined by the parties taking into account other similar leases in Boston, Massachusetts) exceeds the actual aggregate amount of rent payable
under such lease, in each case as such payments shall be discounted to the Closing Date at a rate of interest equal to 6% shall be deemed to be a direct damage and not a consequential, indirect, incidental or other similar damage hereunder for which
the Transferors shall not be liable to the Partnership. Similarly, if the Project is affected by an undisclosed unsatisfied requirement for repairs, the actual costs related to the repair of the Project and any lost rent under binding Tenant Leases
then in effect shall be considered to be a direct damage for which the Transferors shall be liable to the Partnership; but, any other lost profits, lost revenue, business interruption, cost of capital interruption or business reputation or
opportunity (including lost bookings) shall be deemed to be a consequential, indirect, incidental or other similar damage hereunder for which the Transferors shall not be liable to the Partnership. Without limitation of the foregoing, the parties
expressly acknowledge and agree that, except as provided in Section 8.2, any losses, damages or liabilities incurred by any party under applicable securities laws, including the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act, shall constitute consequential, indirect,
incidental or other similar damages hereunder for which no party hereto shall have any indemnification obligation under this Agreement. 
  

 -56- 

 (c) On the Closing Date, each of the Transferors shall deposit with the Indemnity Escrow Agent the
respective amount of cash (or a letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the Partnership for such amount of cash) or Class C Preferred Units, as applicable, constituting the Escrow Fund required to deposited by such Transferor pursuant to the
Indemnity Escrow Agreement, and such Escrow Fund shall be disbursed as provided in the Indemnity Escrow Agreement. Except with respect to an indemnification obligation arising out of a breach by any Transferor of a representation contained in
Section 3.1(a), 3.1(b), 3.1(c), 3.1(q) or 3.1(u) or, Section 3.2, in the case of SCG, as to which this sentence shall not apply, any indemnification obligation of any of the Transferors shall, subject to the second sentence of Section 8.9(a), be
satisfied solely out of the Escrow Fund established pursuant to the Indemnity Escrow Agreement and no Transferor shall have any liability pursuant to this Agreement in excess of sums on deposit in the Escrow Fund; provided, however, that the
Transferors’ indemnification obligations with respect to their respective Project Pro Rata Portions of obligations, liabilities, claims, liens or encumbrances resulting from the litigation listed on Schedule 8.7(c) shall not be limited to the
Escrow Fund established under the Indemnity Escrow Agreement unless the applicable insurance company insuring against any such claim has admitted coverage with respect to such claim and the amount of coverage under the applicable insurance policy is
adequate to cover such claim (in which event the Transferors’ indemnification obligation in respect of such claim shall be limited to the Escrow Fund). 
  
 8.8 Several Obligations of Transferors. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the indemnification obligations of the
Transferors hereunder shall be several and not joint, it being understood that (except as expressly provided in Section 8.7(b) and 8.7(c)), none of the Transferors shall be required to pay in excess of such Transferor’s Pro Rata Portion of any
aggregate amount agreed or determined to be owing by the Transferors pursuant to this Article 8, subject to the limitation set forth in Section 8.7(c) (it being understood and agreed that, subject to the foregoing limitation, with respect to any
breach of a representation by a Transferor of a representation contained in Section 3.1(a), 3.1(b), 3.1(c), 3.1(q) or 3.1(u), or Section 3.2, in the case of SCG, such Transferor shall be liable for all of such loss or damage to the Partnership
resulting from such breach but no other Transferor shall be liable for any such loss or damage resulting from such breach). 
  
 8.9 Exclusivity of Indemnity. 
  
 (a) Except as set forth in Section 8.7(c), the indemnification provided in this Article 8 and the Indemnity Escrow Agreement shall be the sole and
exclusive remedy after the Closing Date for damages available to the parties to this Agreement for breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein. It is understood and agreed, however, that no adjustment
to the consideration payable to the Transferors pursuant to Article 2 hereof shall be paid out of the Escrow Fund. 
  
 (b) Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that, if the Closing occurs, for purposes of this Article 8 and for of determining whether there has been
an inaccuracy in, or breach of, a representation or warranty contained in this Agreement: (i) the inclusion of an item on a Schedule to this Agreement as an exception to a representation or 
  

 -57- 

 warranty shall be deemed also to be the inclusion of such item as an exception to each other representation or warranty
to which such item may reasonably relate, and (ii) any item included as a liability in the calculation of Estimated Closing Working Capital or Closing Working Capital or any item of which the Partnership has Knowledge on or prior to the execution of
this Agreement hereof shall be deemed to be included as an exception to each representation or warranty to which such item is applicable. 
  
 ARTICLE 9. DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION; CONDEMNATION. 
  
 9.1 Damage and Destruction. 
  
 (a) If all or any part of the Project is damaged by fire or other casualty occurring following the date hereof and prior to the Closing Date, then:

  

	 	(i)	if the casualty results in 20% or less of the hotel guest rooms at the Project being uninhabitable, or if the estimated cost of repair or restoration of the public areas of the
hotel is less than or equal to $6,400,000, neither party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and the parties shall nonetheless consummate this transaction in accordance with this Agreement, without any abatement of the Closing Date
Consideration or any liability or obligation on the part of the Transferors by reason of said destruction or damage. In such event, the Transferors shall assign to the Partnership any right of the Transferors to receive proceeds under any applicable
casualty insurance policy for the repair and restoration of the destruction or damage caused, and the amount of the Estimated Closing Working Capital and the Closing Working Capital shall be decreased by the amount of the deductible on such casualty
insurance policy; and 

  

	 	(ii)	if the casualty results in 20% or more of the hotel guest rooms at the Project being uninhabitable, or if the estimated cost of repair or restoration of the public areas of the
hotel exceeds $6,400,000, the Partnership shall have the option, exercisable within twenty (20) days after receipt of notice of the occurrence of such fire or other casualty and the estimated cost to repair the same, time being of the essence, to
terminate this Agreement by delivering notice thereof to the Transferors, whereupon the Earnest Money (together with any interest accrued thereon) shall be returned to the Partnership and this Agreement shall be deemed cancelled and of no further
force or effect, and neither party shall have any further rights or liabilities against or to the other except for such provisions which are expressly provided in this Agreement to survive the termination hereof. If a fire or other casualty
described in this clause (ii) shall occur and the Partnership shall not timely elect to terminate this Agreement, then the Partnership and the Transferors shall consummate this transaction in accordance with 

  

 -58- 

 this Agreement, without any abatement of the Closing Date Consideration or any liability or obligation
on the part of the Transferors by reason of said destruction or damage and, in such event, the Transferors shall assign to the Partnership any of the Transferors’ right to receive proceeds under its casualty insurance policy for the repair and
restoration of the destruction or damage caused, and, the amount of the Estimated Closing Working Capital and the Closing Working Capital shall be decreased by the amount of the deductible on such casualty insurance policy. 
  
 (b) The estimated cost to repair and/or restore shall be established by
estimates obtained by Transferors from independent contractors, reasonably acceptable to the Partnership and the provisions of Section 9.1(c) below. 
  
 (c) The provisions of this Section 9.1 supersede the provisions of Section 5-1311 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York. Any disputes
under this Section 9.1 as to the cost of repair or restoration or the time for completion of such repair or restoration shall be resolved by expedited arbitration before a single arbitrator selected in accordance with the rules of the American
Arbitration Association. Such arbitrator shall be an independent architect or engineer having at least ten (10) years of experience in the construction of hotels in Boston, Massachusetts. The determination of the arbitrator shall be conclusive and
binding upon the parties. The costs and expenses of such Arbitrator shall be borne equally by the Transferors and the Partnership. 
  
 9.2 Condemnation. 
  
 (a) If, prior to the Closing Date, any part of the Project having a value of $25,000,000 or more is taken (other than a temporary taking for a period not
to exceed two weeks), or if the Transferors shall receive an official notice from any Governmental Authority having eminent domain power over the Project of its intention to take, by eminent domain proceeding, any part of the Project having a value
of $25,000,000 or more (a “Taking”), then the Partnership shall have the option, exercisable within ten (10) days after receipt of notice of such Taking, time being of the essence, to terminate this Agreement by delivering notice
thereof to the other party, whereupon the Earnest Money (together with any interest earned thereon) shall be returned to the Partnership and this Agreement shall be deemed cancelled and of no further force or effect, and neither party shall have any
further rights or liabilities against or to the other except pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement which are expressly provided to survive the termination hereof. If a Taking shall occur and neither party shall timely elect to terminate this
Agreement, then the Partnership and the Transferors shall consummate this transaction in accordance with this Agreement, without any abatement of the Closing Date Consideration or any liability or obligation on the part of the Transferors by reason
of such Taking; provided, however, that the Transferors shall, on the Closing Date, (i) assign and remit to the Partnership, and the Partnership shall be entitled to receive and keep, the net proceeds of any award or other proceeds of such Taking
which may have been collected by the Transferors as a result of such Taking less the reasonable expenses incurred by the Transferors in connection with such Taking, or (ii) if no award or other 
  

 -59- 

 proceeds shall have been collected, deliver to the Partnership an assignment of the Transferors’ right to any such
award of other proceeds which may be payable to the Transferors as a result of such Taking and the Partnership shall reimburse the Transferors for the reasonable expenses incurred by the Transferors in connection with such Taking. 
  
 (b) The provisions of this Section 9.2 supersede the provisions of Section
5-1311 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York. 
  
 ARTICLE 10. TAX REDUCTION PROCEEDINGS. 
  
 10.1
The Transferors may file and/or prosecute an application for the reduction of the assessed valuation of the Project or any portion thereof for real estate taxes for the 2004-2005 Boston, Massachusetts fiscal year (the “2005 Tax
Year”), or any fiscal period prior to the 2005 Tax Year. The Transferors shall have the right to withdraw, settle or otherwise compromise any protest or reduction proceeding affecting real estate taxes assessed against the Project for the
2005 Tax Year and any fiscal period prior to the 2005 Tax Year without the prior consent of the Partnership. The Partnership may file and/or prosecute an application for the reduction of the assessed valuation of the Project or any portion thereof
for real estate taxes for the 2005-2006 Boston, Massachusetts fiscal year (the “2006 Tax Year”). The Partnership shall have the right to withdraw, settle or otherwise compromise any protest or reduction proceeding affecting real
estate taxes assessed against the Project for (i) the 2006 Tax Year, provided the Transferors shall have consented with respect thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The amount of any tax refunds (net of customary
attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred by the Transferors or the Partnership in seeking such a reduction and subject to the rights with respect thereto, of any, of tenants) with respect to any portion of the Project for the tax year in which
the Effective Time occurs shall be apportioned between the Transferors and the Partnership as of the Effective Time. If, in lieu of a tax refund, a tax credit is received with respect to any portion of the Project for the tax year in which the
Effective Time occurs, then (x) within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Transferors or the Partnership, as the case may be, of evidence of the actual amount of such tax credit (net of attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred by the
Transferors in obtaining such tax credit and subject to the rights with respect thereto, if any, of tenants), the tax credit apportionment shall be readjusted between the Transferors and the Partnership, and (y) upon realization by the Partnership
of a tax savings on account of such credit, the Partnership shall pay to the Transferors an amount equal to the savings realized (as apportioned). All refunds, credits or other benefits applicable to any fiscal period prior to the 2005 Tax Year
shall belong solely to the Transferors (and the Partnership shall have no interest therein) and, if the same shall be paid to the Partnership or anyone acting on behalf of the Partnership, the same shall be paid to the Transferors within five (5)
days following receipt thereof, but the Partnership shall have no liability for attorney fees or their costs. The provisions of this Section 10.1 shall survive the Closing. 
  
 ARTICLE 11. TERMINATION. 
  
 11.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date: 
  

	 	(a)	by the mutual written agreement of the Partnership and the Transferors; or 

  

 -60- 

	 	(b)	by the Partnership or the Transferors if any Governmental Authority shall have issued an order or taken any other action that restrains, enjoins or otherwise prohibits the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and such order or other action shall have become final and non-appealable; provided, however, that no party may terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.1(b) if such party has
willfully taken an action that results in the issuance of such order or the taking of such action by a Governmental Authority; or 

  

	 	(c)	by either the Partnership or the Transferors if the Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to October 3, 2005; provided that the party or parties terminating this Agreement
shall not be in breach of this Agreement at the time of such termination; or 

  

	 	(d)	by the Partnership: (i) pursuant to Section 9.1(a)(ii); (ii) pursuant to Section 9.2(a); (iii) if any act, omission, occurrence, condition, fact or event has occurred (including any
breach by the Transferors of any of their representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement that has not been cured within thirty (30) days after the giving of written notice by the Partnership to the Transferors
specifying such breach) that would reasonably be expected to give rise to the failure of a condition for the benefit of the Partnership set forth in Section 5.2 to be satisfied on or prior to the Closing Date (after giving effect to any adjournment
of the Closing Date which may occur pursuant to Section 5.5), or (iv) pursuant to any other right under this Agreement for the Partnership to terminate this Agreement; or 

  

	 	(e)	by the Transferors if any act, omission, occurrence, condition, fact or event has occurred (including any breach by the Partnership or the REIT of any of its representations,
warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement that cannot be or has not been cured within thirty (30) days after the giving of written notice by the Transferors to the Partnership specifying such breach), that would
reasonably be expected to give rise to the failure of a condition for the benefit of the Transferors set forth in Section 5.3 to be satisfied on or prior to the Closing Date (after giving effect to any adjournment of the Closing Date which may occur
pursuant to Section 5.5), or pursuant to any other right under this Agreement for the Transferors to terminate this Agreement. 

  
 11.2 Effect of Termination. 
  
 (a) In the event of the termination of this Agreement by any party pursuant to Section 11.1, this Agreement shall forthwith terminate and have no further
force and effect, except that (a) the covenants and agreements set forth in Section 7.6 (Expenses), Section 12.2 (Brokers) and this Section 11.2 shall survive such termination indefinitely, 
  

 -61- 

 (b) the covenants and agreements set forth in Section 12.14 (Confidentiality) shall survive for a period of two (2) years
after the termination of this Agreement and (c) nothing in this Section 11.2 shall be deemed to release any party from any liability for any breach by such party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or to impair the right of any party to
compel specific performance by another Party of its obligations under this Agreement. 
  
 ARTICLE 12. MISCELLANEOUS. 
  
 12.1 Waiver. Each party hereto may, at any time or times, at its election, waive any of the conditions to its obligations hereunder by a written waiver expressly detailing the extent of such waiver (and no other waiver or alleged
waiver by such party shall be effective for any purpose). No such waiver shall reduce the rights or remedies of such party by reason of any breach by the other party or parties of any of its or their obligations hereunder. 
  
 12.2 Brokers. The Transferors represent and warrant that they have not
hired any brokers or finders in connection with the Project or this transaction other than Pinnacle. The Partnership represents and warrants that it has not hired any brokers or finders in connection with the Project or this transaction. The
Partnership shall be obligated to pay on the Closing Date the commission due Pinnacle to the extent such commission has been included as a liability on the Estimated Working Capital Statement and the Closing Working Capital Statement, and the
Transferors shall be liable for any other amounts due to Pinnacle. 
  
 12.3 Survival; Further Instruments. All warranties, representations, covenants, obligations and agreements contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, the indemnification obligations under Article
8 hereof) shall survive the Closing hereunder and the transfers and conveyances and other transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby and any and all performances hereunder until the date that is the third anniversary of the Closing Date (except
that bona fide claims first asserted in writing with specificity within the period referred to above shall not thereafter be barred); provided that the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.1(a), 3.1(b), 3.1(c), 3.2,
4.1(a), 4.1(b), 4.1(c), 4.1(d), 4.1(e) and 4.2(a) shall survive indefinitely; provided further, however, that the indemnification obligations of the Transferors with respect to the third-party litigation claims described on Schedule 8.7(c) shall, as
expressly set forth in, and subject to, Section 8.7(c), survive until the date that is the later to occur of (i) the third anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) the date on which the applicable insurance company insuring against any such claim
admits coverage with respect to such claim and the amount of coverage under the applicable insurance policy is adequate to cover such claim, but in no event later than the date on which such claim is resolved. Thereafter all such representations and
warranties shall be extinguished, if applicable, and no claim for the recovery of any losses may be asserted against the Transferors in respect thereof. Each party will, whenever and as often as it shall be requested so to do by the other, cause to
be executed, acknowledged or delivered any and all such further instruments and documents as may be necessary or proper, in the reasonable opinion of the requesting party, in order to carry out the intent and purpose of this Agreement and as is
consistent with this Agreement. 
  

 -62- 

 12.4 No Third Party Benefits. This Agreement is made for the sole benefit of the Partnership and
the Transferors and their respective successors and assigns (subject to the limitation on assignment set forth in Section 12.7 below), and no other Person or Persons shall have any right or remedy or other legal interest of any kind under or by
reason of this Agreement. Whether or not either party hereto elects to employ any or all the rights, powers or remedies available to it hereunder, such party shall have no obligation or liability of any kind to any third party by reason of this
Agreement or by reason of any of such party’s actions or omissions pursuant hereto or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. 
  
 12.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including all Schedules hereto) contains the entire agreement between the
parties respecting the matters herein set forth and supersedes all prior agreements between the parties hereto respecting such matters. Except as otherwise provided above, no remedy conferred upon a party in this Agreement is intended to be
exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law provided or permitted, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. 
  
 12.6 Waivers. Except as herein expressly provided, no waiver by a
party of any breach of this Agreement or of any warranty or representation hereunder by another party shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other breach by such other party (whether preceding or succeeding and whether or not of the same or similar
nature). No failure or delay by a party to exercise any right it may have by reason of the default of another party shall operate as a waiver of default or modification of this Agreement or shall prevent the exercise of any right by the first party
while the other party continues to be so in default. 
  
 12.7
Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided that none of the parties hereto may assign this Agreement without the
prior written consent of the others, which consent may be withheld in such other parties’ sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that after the date on which all adjustments to the Closing Date Consideration payable hereunder in
connection with the delivery of the Closing Working Capital Statement pursuant to Section 2.4(f) shall have been paid in full, the Partnership may assign this Agreement to a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary; but such assignment shall in no
way relieve the REIT or the Partnership of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement (it being understood and agreed that each of the REIT and the Partnership shall remain fully and primarily liable for all of their respective
obligations under this Agreement notwithstanding any such assignment); and provided further, that WCBC may assign all of its rights to receive payments hereunder to one or more of its direct or indirect affiliates. 
  

 -63- 

 12.8 Amendments. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, changed or modified orally,
but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom any amendment, change or modification is sought. 
  
 12.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or
render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
  
 12.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies
hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto. 
  
 12.11 Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES THEREOF GOVERNING CONFLICTS
OF LAWS), AND ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING HEREUNDER SHALL ONLY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR IN A UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SITTING IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THE PARTIES EACH CONSENT TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS

 -67-Exhibit 10.2 -- Form of Third Amendment to the Amended and Restated Agreement

 Exhibit 10.2 
  
 Form of 
  
 Third Amendment to the 
  
 Amended and Restated Agreement 
  
 of Limited Partnership 
  
 of

  
 LaSalle Hotel Operating Partnership, L.P. 
  
 This Amendment is made as of
                 , 2005 by and among LaSalle Hotel Properties, a Maryland real estate investment trust, as the general partner (the “Trust” or
the “General Partner”) of LaSalle Hotel Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), and as attorney-in-fact for the Persons named on Exhibit A to the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited
Partnership of LaSalle Hotel Operating Partnership, L.P., dated as of April 29, 1998, as amended by the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, dated as of March 6, 2002 and by that Second Amendment to the
Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, dated as of September 30, 2003 (collectively, as amended, the “Partnership Agreement”), and SCG Copley Square LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SCG”) for the
purpose of amending the Partnership Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined shall have the meanings given to them in the Partnership Agreement. 
  

WHEREAS, Section 4.2A. of the Partnership Agreement authorizes the General Partner to cause the Partnership to issue additional Partnership Units in
one or more classes or series, with such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, powers and duties as shall be determined, subject to applicable Delaware law, by the General Partner; and 

 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to the authority granted to the General Partner pursuant
to Sections 4.2A. and 14.1B. of the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner desires to amend the Partnership Agreement (i) to establish a new class of Partnership Units, the Series C Preferred Units (as hereinafter defined), and to set forth the
designations, rights, powers, preferences and duties of such Series C Preferred Units, (ii) to issue the Series C Preferred Units to SCG and admit SCG as an Additional Limited Partner, and (iii) to make certain other changes to the Partnership
Agreement. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises
and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, the General Partner hereby amends the Partnership Agreement as follows: 
  
 1. Article 1 of the Partnership Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following definitions: 
  
 “Series C Preferred Cash Amount” means $25 multiplied by the
Series C Preferred Shares Amount, plus accrued and unpaid distributions. 
  

 1 

 “Series C Preferred Conversion Factor” means 1.0; provided that, if the General Partner (i)
declares or pays a dividend on its outstanding Series C Preferred Shares in Series C Preferred Shares or makes a distribution to all holders of its outstanding Series C Preferred Shares in Series C Preferred Shares, (ii) subdivides its outstanding
Series C Preferred Shares or (iii) combines its outstanding Series C Preferred Shares into a smaller number of Series C Preferred Shares, the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Factor by a fraction, the numerator of
which shall be the number of Series C Preferred Shares issued and outstanding on the record date for such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination (assuming for such purposes that such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination has
occurred as of such time) and the denominator of which shall be the actual number of Series C Preferred Shares (determined without the above assumption) issued and outstanding on the record date for such dividend, distribution, subdivision or
combination; and provided further that if an entity shall cease to be the General Partner (the “Predecessor General Partner”) and another entity shall become the General Partner (the “Successor General Partner”), the Series C
Preferred Conversion Factor shall be adjusted by multiplying the Series C Preferred Conversion Factor by a fraction, the numerator of which is $25.00, and the denominator of which is the liquidation preference of one Series C Preferred Share of the
Successor General Partner, determined as of that same date. Any adjustment to the Series C Preferred Conversion Factor shall become effective immediately after the effective date of the event retroactive to the record date, if any, for the event
giving rise thereto, it being intended that (x) adjustments to the Series C Preferred Conversion Factor are to be made to avoid unintended dilution or anti-dilution as a result of transactions in which Series C Preferred Shares are issued, redeemed
or exchanged without a corresponding issuance, redemption or exchange of Partnership Units and (y) if a Specified Redemption Date shall fall between the record date and the effective date of any event of the type described above, that the Series C
Preferred Conversion Factor applicable to such redemption shall be adjusted to take into account such event. 
  
 “Series C Preferred Shares” means the 7.25% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares of Beneficial Interest, $.01 par value per share
(Liquidation Preference $25 per share) of the Trust, with the preferences, liquidation and other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption of shares as described in
the Articles Supplementary. 
  
 “Series C Preferred Shares
Amount” means a number of Series C Preferred Shares equal to the product of the number of Series C Preferred Units offered for redemption by a Redeeming Partner times the Series C Preferred Conversion Factor, provided that, if the General
Partner issues to all holders of Series C Preferred Shares rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities entitling such holders to subscribe for or purchase Series C Preferred Shares or any other securities or property
(collectively, the “rights”), then the Series C Preferred Shares Amount shall also include such rights that a holder of that number of Series C Preferred Shares would be entitled to receive. 
  
 “Series C Preferred Units” means the series of Partnership Units
representing 
  

 2 

 units of Limited Partnership Interest designated as the 7.25% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units (Liquidation
Preference $25 per unit), with the preferences, liquidation and other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption of units as described herein. 
  
 2. In accordance with Section 4.2A of the Partnership Agreement, set forth
below are the terms and conditions of the Series C Preferred Units. 
  
 A. Designation and Number. A series of Partnership Units, designated as the 7.25% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units, is hereby established. The maximum number of Series C Preferred Units shall be
[            ]. 
  
 B. Rank. The Series C Preferred Units will, with respect to distribution rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Partnership, rank (a) senior to the Class A Units, Class B Units and
to all Partnership Interests the terms of which specifically provide that such Partnership Interests shall rank junior to such Series C Preferred Units; (b) on a parity with all Partnership Interests issued by the Partnership, including the 10.25%
Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units and 8.375% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units, other than those Partnership Interests referred to in clauses (a) and (c); and (c) junior to all Partnership Interests issued by the
Partnership the terms of which specifically provide that such Partnership Interests shall rank senior to the Series C Preferred Units. 
  
 C. Distributions. 
  
 (i) Pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Partnership Agreement, holders of Series C Preferred Units shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by
the Partnership acting through the General Partner, out of Available Cash, cumulative preferential cash distributions at the rate of seven and one-quarter percent (7.25%) per annum of the twenty-five dollars ($25.00) per share liquidation preference
of the Series C Preferred Units (equivalent to a fixed annual amount of $1.8125 per unit). Distributions on the Series C Preferred Units shall accumulate on a daily basis and be cumulative from (but excluding) the original date of issuance and be
payable quarterly in equal amounts in arrears on the fifteenth day of January, April, July, and October of each year, beginning on October 15, 2005 (each such day being hereinafter called a “Series C Preferred Unit Distribution Payment
Date;” provided that if any Series C Preferred Unit Distribution Payment Date is not a Business Day, then the distribution which would otherwise have been payable on such Series C Preferred Unit Distribution Payment Date shall be paid on the
next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if paid on such Series C Preferred Unit Distribution Payment Date, and no interest or additional distributions or other sums shall accrue on the amount so payable from such Series C
Preferred Unit Distribution Payment Date to such next succeeding Business Day. Any distribution (including the initial distribution) payable on the Series C Preferred Units for any partial distribution period shall be prorated and computed on the
basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Distributions shall be payable to holders of record as they appear in the records of the Partnership at the close of business on the applicable record date, which shall be the first day of
the calendar month in which the applicable Series C Preferred Unit Distribution Payment Date falls or such other date designated by the General Partner for the payment of distributions that is not more than 90 nor less than 10 days prior to such
Series C Preferred Unit Distribution Payment Date (each, a “Series C Preferred Unit Distribution Record Date”). 
  

 3 

 (ii) No distribution on the Series C Preferred Units shall be authorized by the General Partner or paid
or set apart for payment by the Partnership at such time as the terms and provisions of any agreement of the Partnership, including any agreement relating to its indebtedness, prohibits such authorization, payment or setting apart for payment or
provides that such authorization, payment or setting apart for payment would constitute a breach thereof, or a default thereunder, or if such authorization or payment shall be restricted or prohibited by law. 
  
 (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
distributions with respect to the Series C Preferred Units shall accumulate whether or not the restrictions referred to in Subsection 2.C.(ii) exist, whether or not the Partnership has earnings, whether or not there is sufficient Available Cash for
the payment thereof and whether or not such distributions are authorized. Accumulated but unpaid distributions on the Series C Preferred Units will accumulate as of the Series C Preferred Unit Distribution Payment Date on which they first become
payable or on the date of redemption as the case may be. Accumulated and unpaid distributions will not bear interest. 
  
 (iv) If any Series C Preferred Units are outstanding, no distributions of cash or other property will be authorized or paid or set apart for payment on
any Partnership Interests of the Partnership of any other class or series ranking, as to distributions, on a parity with or junior to the Series C Preferred Units unless full cumulative distributions have been or contemporaneously are authorized and
paid or authorized and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for such payment on the Series C Preferred Units for all past distribution periods and the then current distribution period. When distributions are not paid in full (or a sum
sufficient for such full payment is not so set apart) upon the Series C Preferred Units and all other Partnership Interests ranking on a parity, as to distributions, with the Series C Preferred Units, all distributions authorized, paid or set apart
for payment upon the Series C Preferred Units and all other units ranking on a parity, as to distributions, with the Series C Preferred Units shall be authorized and paid pro rata or authorized and set apart for payment pro rata so that the amount
of distributions authorized per Series C Preferred Unit and each such other Partnership Interest shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accumulated distributions per Series C Preferred Unit and other Partnership Interest (which
shall not include any accumulation in respect of unpaid distributions for prior distribution periods if such Partnership Interests do not have a cumulative distribution) bear to each other. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be
payable in respect of any distribution payment or payments on Series C Preferred Units which may be in arrears. 
  
 (v) Except as provided in subsection 2.C.(iv), unless full cumulative distributions on the Series C Preferred Units have been or contemporaneously are
authorized and paid or authorized and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof is set apart for payment for all past distribution periods and the then current distribution period, no distributions (other than in Partnership Interests ranking junior
to the Series C Preferred Units as to distributions and upon liquidation) shall be authorized or paid or set aside for payment nor shall any other distribution be authorized or made upon the Class A Units, Class B Units, or any other Partnership
Interests ranking junior to or on a parity with the Series C Preferred Units as to 
  

 4 

 distributions or upon liquidation, nor shall any Class A Units, Class B Units, or any other Partnership Interests ranking
junior to or on a parity with the Series C Preferred Units as to distributions or upon liquidation be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired directly or indirectly for any consideration (or any monies be paid to or made available for a sinking
fund for the redemption of any such Partnership Interests) by the Partnership (except by conversion into or exchange for other Partnership Interests ranking junior to the Series C Preferred Units as to distributions and upon liquidation, dissolution
or winding up of the affairs of the Partnership or by redemption, purchase or acquisition of Partnership Interests under incentive, benefit or unit purchase plans of the Partnership for Employees of the General Partner, the Partnership, Subsidiaries
of the Partnership or any Affiliate of any of them, or by redemption of Partnership Units corresponding to any Series C Preferred Shares or shares ranking on parity or junior to the Series C Preferred Shares as to distributions and upon liquidation
to be purchased by the General Partner pursuant to Article VII of the Declaration of Trust to preserve the General Partner’s status as a real estate investment trust, provided that such redemption shall be upon the same terms as the
corresponding purchase pursuant to Article VII of the Declaration of Trust). 
  
 (vi) Holders of Series C Preferred Units shall not be entitled to any distribution, whether payable in cash, property or Partnership Interests, in excess of full cumulative distributions on the Series C Preferred
Units as described above. Any distribution payment made on the Series C Preferred Units shall first be credited against the earliest accumulated but unpaid distribution due with respect to such units which remains payable. 
  
 D. Allocation of Net Income and Net Losses. Notwithstanding anything
contained in the Partnership Agreement to the contrary, so long as any Series C Preferred Units are outstanding, for each fiscal year, prior to any allocations of Net Income under the Partnership Agreement, the holders of Series C Preferred Units
shall be allocated an amount of Net Income equal to the excess of: (i) the sum of (A) the aggregate amount of cash (or the fair market value of property) actually distributed to the holders of Series C Preferred Units during such fiscal year and all
prior fiscal years other than distributions constituting a return of any prior capital contributions to a holder under paragraphs E and F hereof, plus (B) the amount of accrued but unpaid distributions owed to such holders of Series C Preferred
Units as of the end of such fiscal year, over (ii) any prior allocations of Net Income to such holder under this paragraph D. In the event there are insufficient Net Income to allocate the full amount of Net Income required to be allocated to
the holders of Series C Preferred Units under this paragraph D, then such Net Income shall be allocated to and among the holders of Series C Preferred Units, pro-rata, in proportion to the amount required to be allocated to them. For purposes
of this paragraph D, a distribution shall be deemed to have been made in a fiscal year even if such distribution was actually made in the following fiscal year if the distribution in the following fiscal year was in payment of an accrued and unpaid
distribution owed under paragraph C hereof. Any Net Income allocated pursuant to this Paragraph D shall be in lieu of and without duplication by any other allocation of Net Income under the Partnership Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained
in the Partnership Agreement to the contrary, so long as any Series C Preferred Units are outstanding, any Net Losses required to be allocated under Section 6.1(B) of the Partnership Agreement shall be allocated to and among the holders of the
Series C Preferred Units and the other Partners in a manner so as to cause the balance of each Partner’s Capital Account to equal the amount that each such Partner would be entitled to be distributed if the Partnership sold all of its assets
for their book value (as defined 
  

 5 

 in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)), paid all of its liabilities, distributed the proceeds of such sale to the
Partners in liquidation of the Partnership in the relative priorities of distributions of assets to the Partners upon the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Partnership contained in paragraph E of this Amendment
to the Partnership Agreement. 
  
 E. Liquidation
Preference. 
  
 (i) In the event of any voluntary or
involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Partnership, the holders of the Series C Preferred Units shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Partnership legally available for distribution to the Partners
pursuant to Section 13.2.A of the Partnership Agreement a liquidation preference in cash of $25.00 per Series C Preferred Unit, plus an amount equal to all accumulated and unpaid distributions to the date of payment, before any distribution of
assets is made to holders of Class A Units, Class B Units or any other Partnership Interests that rank junior to the Series C Preferred Units as to liquidation rights. 
  
 (ii) If upon any such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Partnership, the
assets of the Partnership are insufficient to make such full payment to holders of the Series C Preferred Units and the corresponding amounts payable on all other Partnership Interests ranking on a parity with the Series C Preferred Units in the
distribution of assets, then the holders of the Series C Preferred Units and other such Partnership Interests shall share ratably in any such distribution of assets in proportion to the full liquidating distributions to which they would otherwise be
respectively entitled. 
  
 (iii) Written notice of any such
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Partnership, stating the payment date or dates when, and the place or places where, the amounts distributable in such circumstances shall be payable, shall be given by first class mail, postage pre-paid,
not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the payment date stated therein, to each record holder of the Series C Preferred Units at the respective address of such holders as the same shall appear on the transfer records of the Partnership.

  
 (iv) After payment of the full amount of the liquidating
distributions to which they are entitled, the holders of Series C Preferred Units shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Partnership. 
  
 (v) None of a consolidation or merger of the Partnership with or into another entity, a merger of another entity with or
into the Partnership or a sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of the Partnership’s property or business shall be considered a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Partnership. 
  
 F. Redemption by the Partnership. 
  
 (i) Except as provided below, the Series C Preferred Units are not
redeemable prior to January 1, 2021. At any time during the period from January 1, 2016 to and including December 31, 2016, the Partnership, at its option, upon giving notice as provided below, may redeem the Series C Preferred Units, in whole or in
part, for cash, at a redemption price of Twenty-five Dollars ($25.00) per share, plus all accumulated and unpaid 
  

 6 

 distributions on such Series C Preferred Units to the date of such redemption (the “Redemption Right”). The
Partnership may also exercise its Redemption Right at any time and from time to time on or after January 1, 2021 upon giving notice as provided below. 
  
 (ii) If fewer than all of the outstanding Series C Preferred Units are to be redeemed pursuant to the Redemption Right, the Series C Preferred Units to be
redeemed shall be selected pro rata (as nearly as practicable without creating fractional shares) or by lot or in such other equitable method prescribed by the General Partner. 
  
 (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, unless full cumulative distributions on all Series C
Preferred Units shall have been or contemporaneously are authorized and paid or authorized and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for payment for all past distribution periods and the then current distribution period, no Series C
Preferred Units shall be redeemed unless all outstanding Series C Preferred Units are simultaneously redeemed; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent the purchase or acquisition of Series C Preferred Units pursuant to a purchase or
exchange offer made on the same terms to holders of all Series C Preferred Units. In addition, unless full cumulative distributions on all Series C Preferred Units have been or contemporaneously are authorized and paid or authorized and a sum
sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for payment for all past distributions periods and the then current distribution period, the Partnership shall not purchase or otherwise acquire directly or indirectly for any consideration, nor shall any
monies be paid to or be made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of, any Series C Preferred Units (except by conversion into or exchange for Partnership Interests ranking junior to the Series C Preferred Units as to distributions and
upon liquidation; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent any purchase or acquisition of Series C Preferred Units pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to holders of all outstanding Series C Preferred
Units.) 
  
 (iv) Immediately prior to any redemption of Series C
Preferred Units, the Partnership shall pay, in cash, any accumulated and unpaid distributions through the redemption date, unless a redemption date falls after a Series C Preferred Unit Distribution Record Date and prior to the corresponding Series
C Preferred Unit Distribution Payment Date, in which case each holder of Series C Preferred Units at the close of business on such Series C Preferred Unit Distribution Record Date shall be entitled to the distribution payable on such units on the
corresponding Series C Preferred Unit Distribution Payment Date (including any accrued and unpaid distributions for prior periods) notwithstanding the redemption of such units before such Series C Preferred Unit Distribution Payment Date. Except as
provided above, the Partnership will make no payment or allowance for unpaid distributions, whether or not in arrears, on Series C Preferred Units for which a notice of redemption has been given. 
  
 (v) The following provisions set forth the procedures for redemption:

  
 (a) Notice of redemption will be mailed by the Partnership,
postage prepaid, no less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date (and in any event no later than March 31, 2016, in the case of a redemption to occur between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2016) addressed to the respective
holders of record of the Series C Preferred Units to be redeemed at their respective addresses as they appear on the transfer 
  

 7 

 records of the Partnership. No failure to give such notice or any defect thereto or in the mailing thereof shall affect
the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any Series C Preferred Units except as to the holder to whom notice was defective or not given. 
  
 (b) In addition to any information required by law, such notice shall state: (A) the redemption date; (B) the redemption price; (C) the number of Series
C Preferred Units to be redeemed; (D) the place or places where the Series C Preferred Units are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; and (E) that distributions on the Series C Preferred Units to be redeemed will cease to
accumulate on such redemption date. If less than all of the Series C Preferred Units held by any holder are to be redeemed, the notice mailed to such holder shall also specify the number of Series C Preferred Units held by such holder to be
redeemed. 
  
 (c) On or after the redemption date, each holder of
Series C Preferred Units to be redeemed shall present and surrender the certificates (if any or, if none, an assignment and such other documentation reasonably acceptable to the General Partner) representing his Series C Preferred Units to the
Partnership at the place designated in the notice of redemption and thereupon the redemption price of such units (including all accumulated and unpaid distributions up to the redemption date) shall be paid to or on the order of the person whose name
appears on such assignment or certificate representing Series C Preferred Units as the owner thereof and each surrendered certificate, if any, shall be canceled. If fewer than all the units represented by any such certificate representing Series C
Preferred Units are to be redeemed, a new certificate, as applicable, shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares. 
  
 (d) From and after the redemption date (unless the Partnership defaults in payment of the redemption price), all distributions on the Series C Preferred
Units designated for redemption in such notice shall cease to accumulate and all rights of the holders thereof, except the right to receive the redemption price thereof (including all accumulated and unpaid distributions up to the redemption date),
shall cease and terminate and such units shall not thereafter be transferred (except with the consent of the Partnership) on the Partnership’s transfer records, and such units shall not be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose whatsoever. At
its election, the Partnership, prior to a redemption date, may irrevocably deposit the redemption price (including accumulated and unpaid distributions to the redemption date) of the Series C Preferred Units so called for redemption in trust for the
holders thereof with a bank or trust company, in which case the redemption notice to holders of the Series C Preferred Units to be redeemed shall (A) state the date of such deposit, (B) specify the office of such bank or trust company as the place
of payment of the redemption price and (C) require such holders to surrender the certificates, if any, representing such units at such place on or about the date fixed in such redemption notice (which may not be later than the redemption date)
against payment of the redemption price (including all accumulated and unpaid distributions to the redemption date). Any monies so deposited which remain unclaimed by the holders of the Series C Preferred Units at the end of two years after the
redemption date shall be returned by such bank or trust company to the Partnership. 
  

 8 

 G. Voting Rights. 
  
 (i) Holders of the Series C Preferred Units will not have any voting rights or right to consent to or approve of any matter
requiring the vote, consent or approval of the Limited Partners, Outside Limited Partners or Partners, except as set forth below or as otherwise from time to time required by law. In any matter in which the holders of Series C Preferred Units are
entitled to vote, each such holder shall have the right to one vote for each Series C Preferred Unit held by such holder. If the holders of the Series C Preferred Units and the holders of another series of preferred units are entitled to vote
together as a single class on any matter, the holders of the Series C Preferred Units and the holders of such other preferred units shall each have one vote for each $25.00 of liquidation preference. 
  
 (ii) So long as any Series C Preferred Units remain outstanding, the
Partnership shall not, without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the Series C Preferred Units outstanding at the time, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting (such series voting separately as a
class), (i) authorize or create, or increase the authorized or issued amount of, any Partnership Interest ranking senior to the Series C Preferred Units with respect to payment of distributions or the distribution of assets upon voluntary or
involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Partnership, or reclassify any Partnership Interest of the Partnership into any such Partnership Interest, or create, authorize or issue any obligation or security convertible into or
evidencing the right to purchase any such Partnership Interest; or (ii) amend, alter or repeal the provisions of the Partnership Agreement (including this Amendment), whether by merger or consolidation (in either case, an “Event”) or
otherwise, so as to materially and adversely affect any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the Series C Preferred Units or the holders thereof; provided, however, that with respect to the occurrence of any Event set forth in (ii) above,
so long as Series C Preferred Units remain outstanding with the terms thereof materially unchanged, taking into account that upon the occurrence of an Event, the Partnership may not be the surviving entity and such surviving entity may thereafter be
the issuer of the Series C Preferred Units, the occurrence of any such Event shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of the holders of the Series C Preferred Units; and provided
further that (x) any increase in the amount of the authorized Preferred Units or the creation or issuance of any other Partnership Interests, or (y) any increase in the amount of authorized Series C Preferred Units or any other Partnership
Interests, in the case of each of (x) or (y) above ranking on a parity with or junior to the Series C Preferred Units with respect to payment of distributions and the distribution of assets upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Partnership, shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers. 
  
 (iii) The foregoing voting provisions shall not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required
shall be effected, all outstanding Series C Preferred Units shall have been redeemed or called for redemption upon proper notice and sufficient funds shall have been deposited in trust to effect such redemption. 
  
 H. Redemption Right by Limited Partner. 
  
 (i) Subject to the limitations below, at any time on or after the date of
the issuance of the Series C Preferred Units to SCG, the Limited Partner holding such Series C 
  

 9 

 Preferred Units (if other than the General Partner or any Subsidiary of the General Partner) shall have the right (the
“Limited Partner Redemption Right”) to require the Partnership to redeem such Series C Preferred Units, with such redemption to occur on the Specified Redemption Date and at a redemption price equal to and in the form of the Series C
Preferred Cash Amount to be paid by the Partnership. Any such Limited Partner Redemption Right shall be exercised pursuant to a Notice of Redemption delivered to the Partnership (with a copy to the General Partner) by the Limited Partner who is
exercising the Limited Partner Redemption Right (the “Redeeming Partner”). A Limited Partner may exercise the Limited Partner Redemption Right from time to time, without limitation as to frequency, with respect to part or all of the Series
C Preferred Units that it owns, as selected by the Limited Partner, provided that a Limited Partner may not exercise the Limited Partner Redemption Right for less than one thousand (1,000) Series C Preferred Units unless such Redeeming Partner then
holds less than one thousand (1,000) Series C Preferred Units, in which event the Redeeming Partner must exercise the Limited Partner Redemption Right for all of the Series C Preferred Units held by such Redeeming Partner. 
  
 (ii) The Redeeming Partner shall have no right with respect to any Series C
Preferred Units so redeemed to receive any distributions paid after the Specified Redemption Date with respect to such Series C Preferred Units. In no event may a Redeeming Partner receive a distribution of cash with respect to a Series C Preferred
Unit if such Limited Partner is entitled to receive a cash dividend as the holder of record of a Series C Preferred Share for which all or part of such Series C Preferred Unit has been or will be redeemed. 
  
 (iii) The Assignee of any Limited Partner may exercise the rights of such
Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 2.H., and such Limited Partner shall be deemed to have assigned such rights to such Assignee and shall be bound by the exercise of such rights by such Limited Partner’s Assignee. In connection with any
exercise of such rights by such Assignee on behalf of such Limited Partner, the Series C Preferred Cash Amount shall be paid by the Partnership directly to such Assignee and not to such Limited Partner. 
  
 (iv) If the General Partner provides notice to the Limited Partners pursuant
to Section 8.5.C of the Partnership Agreement, then the Specified Redemption Date is the date on which the Partnership and the General Partner receive notice of exercise of the Redemption Right. 
  
 (v) If a Limited Partner has delivered a Notice of Redemption, the General
Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion (subject to the limitations on ownership and transfer of Shares set forth in the Declaration of Trust), elect to assume directly and satisfy a Limited Partner Redemption Right by paying to the
Redeeming Partner either the Series C Preferred Cash Amount or the Series C Preferred Shares Amount, as the General Partner determines in its sole and absolute discretion, on the Specified Redemption Date, whereupon the General Partner shall acquire
the Series C Preferred Units offered for redemption by the Redeeming Partner and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as the owner of such Series C Preferred Units. Unless the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion,
shall exercise its right to assume directly and satisfy the Limited Partner Redemption Right, the General Partner shall not have any obligation to the Redeeming Partner or to the Partnership with respect to the Redeeming Partner’s exercise of
the Limited Partner Redemption Right. If the General Partner shall exercise its right to satisfy the Limited Partner Redemption Right in 
  

 10 

 the manner described in the first sentence of this Section 2.H.(v) and shall fully perform its obligations in connection
therewith, the Partnership shall have no right or obligation to pay any amount to the Redeeming Partner with respect to such Redeeming Partner’s exercise of the Limited Partner Redemption Right, and each of the Redeeming Partner, the
Partnership and the General Partner shall, for federal income tax purposes, treat the transaction between the General Partner and the Redeeming Partner as a sale of the Redeeming Partner’s Series C Preferred Units to the General Partner.
Nothing contained in this Section 2.H.(v) shall imply any right of the General Partner to require any Limited Partner to exercise the Limited Partner Redemption Right afforded to such Limited Partner pursuant to Section 2.H.(i). 
  
 (vi) If the General Partner determines to satisfy a Limited Partner
Redemption Right by paying the Redeeming Partner in the form of Series C Preferred Shares, the total number of Series C Preferred Shares to be paid to the Redeeming Partner in exchange for the Series C Preferred Units to be redeemed by the Redeeming
Partner shall be the applicable Series C Preferred Shares Amount. If this amount is not a whole number of Series C Preferred Shares, the Redeeming Partner shall be paid (i) that number of Series C Preferred Shares which equals the nearest whole
number less than such amount plus (ii) an amount of cash to represent the fair value of the remaining fractional Series C Preferred Share which would otherwise be payable to the Redeeming Partner, based upon $25.00 per Series C Preferred Share.

  
 (vii) Each Redeeming Partner agrees to execute such documents
as the General Partner may reasonably require in connection with the issuance of Series C Preferred Shares upon exercise of the Limited Partner Redemption Right. 
  
 (viii) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 2.H., a Limited Partner or Assignee shall not be entitled to
exercise the Limited Partner Redemption Right pursuant to this Section 2.H. if (but only as long as) the delivery of Series C Preferred Shares to such Limited Partner or Assignee on the Specified Redemption Date (i) would be prohibited under the
Declaration of Trust or pursuant to the terms of a waiver of ownership limit under the Declaration of Trust, or (ii) would be prohibited under applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations (in each case regardless of whether the General
Partner would in fact assume and satisfy the Limited Partner Redemption Right). 
  
 (ix) Each Limited Partner covenants and agrees with the General Partner that all Partnership Units delivered for redemption shall be delivered to the Partnership or the General Partner, as the case may be, free and
clear of all liens, and, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the General Partner nor the Partnership shall be under any obligation to acquire Partnership Units which are or may be subject to any liens. Each Limited
Partner further agrees that, if any state or local property transfer tax is payable as a result of the transfer of its Partnership Units to the Partnership or the General Partner, such Limited Partner shall assume and pay such transfer tax.

  
 I. No Other Redemption Rights. Holders of Series C
Preferred Units shall not be entitled to any rights provided to Limited Partners pursuant to Section 8.6 of the Partnership Agreement. 
  
 3. The holders of the Series C Preferred Units shall not have any rights to convert such units into units of any other class or series of units, or into
any other securities of, or interests in, the Partnership. 
  

 11 

 4. No sinking fund shall be established for the retirement or redemption of Series C Preferred Units.

  
 5. In accordance with Section 12.2 of the Partnership
Agreement, SCG is hereby admitted as an Additional Partner. Exhibit A to the Partnership Agreement is hereby amended to reflect the issuance of the Series C Preferred Units provided for herein. 
  
 6. Except as modified herein, all terms and conditions of the Partnership
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, which terms and conditions the General Partner hereby ratifies and confirms. 
  

 12
