succeeding Calendar Year, the Operating Expenses of the Company are less than the permitted level of Operating Expenses.

any of its Affiliates, nor any Person contracting with the Advisor for services and its shareholders, directors, officers and employees nor any of its Affiliates shall be liable to the Company or its Shareholders, except by reason of acts
constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Advisor hereby agrees to look solely to the assets of the Company for satisfaction of all claims against the Company, and in no event shall any Shareholder, Director, officer or agent of the
Company have any personal liability for the obligation of the Company under this Agreement. 
  
 17. Incorporation of the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. To the extent the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws impose obligations or restrictions on the Advisor or grant the Advisor certain rights which
are not set forth in this Agreement, the Advisor shall abide by such obligations or restrictions and such rights shall inure to the benefit of the Advisor with the same force and effect as if they were set forth herein.

Advisor shall have a fiduciary relationship to the Shareholders. However, the Company shall indemnify the Advisor, to the fullest extent permitted by law, for its liabilities and losses arising from the 

  

 10 

 
operations of the Company (including its costs and expenses, including legal fees and expenses, incurred in connection with investigating and defending
itself against such liabilities and losses) if the following conditions are met: 
  
 (a) the Directors have determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct which caused the liability or loss was undertaken in good
faith within what the Advisor reasonably believed to be the scope of its employment or authority and for a purpose which it reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company; 
  
 (b) the Directors have determined, in good faith, that the
liability or loss was not the result of willful misconduct, bad faith, reckless disregard of duties or violation of the criminal law on the part of the Advisor; and 
  
 (c) the indemnified amount is recoverable only out of the assets of the Company and not from the
Shareholders. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, indemnification
will not be allowed for any liability imposed by judgment, and costs associated therewith, including attorneys’ fees, arising from or out of a violation of state or federal securities laws associated with the Offering of the Units unless (i)

jurisdiction as to the particular indemnitee or (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against a particular indemnitee.

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

 EXHIBIT 10.2 
  
 PROPERTY ACQUISITION/DISPOSITION 
 AGREEMENT 
  
 THIS AGREEMENT is
made and entered into as of the      day of January, 2004, by and between Apple REIT Six, Inc., a Virginia corporation (hereinafter referred to as “Owner”), and Apple Six Realty Group, Inc., a Virginia
corporation (hereinafter referred to as “Agent”). 
  
 W I
T N E S S E T H : 
  
 WHEREAS, Owner plans to conduct business as
a “real estate investment trust,” and, in connection therewith, plans to, from time to time, acquire and dispose of real property, including particularly hotels, residential apartment communities and other income-producing real estate in
selected metropolitan areas of the United States (hereinafter referred to individually as a “Property” and collectively as the “Properties”); 
  
 WHEREAS, Owner desires to use the services of Agent as a broker in connection with the acquisition and disposition of the
Properties on the terms set forth in this Agreement; and 
  
 WHEREAS, Owner and Agent desire to enter into this Agreement for the purposes herein contained. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises herein contained, and for other valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the
parties agree as follows: 
  
 1. Engagement of Agent as Broker
for the Properties. Owner hereby engages Agent as a broker in connection with the purchase and sale of the Properties, upon the conditions and for the term and compensation herein set forth. All or any portion of the services being performed by
Agent may be contracted or subcontracted by Agent to another company, provided that such company agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. 
  
 2. Term of Agreement; Renewal. This Agreement shall be valid for an initial term of five (5) years ending January     , 2009.
Unless either party by written notice sent to the other party at least sixty (60) days before the end of any 5-year term hereof elects not to renew this Agreement, this Agreement shall renew automatically for successive terms of five (5) years on
the same terms as contained herein. 
  
 3. Acceptance of
Engagement. Agent hereby accepts its engagement as a broker for the purchase and sale of the Properties and agrees to perform all services necessary to effectuate such purchases and sales which are customarily provided by commercial real estate
brokers, and, without limitation, Agent agrees: 
  
 a. To
supervise, on behalf of Owner, the preparation of contracts of purchase or sale for each Property, on such terms as are specified by Owner or its duly authorized representatives, and all other documents related thereto or required to effectuate such
purchase or sale; 
  

 1 

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

  

 2 

 
for in this Agreement in connection with the sale of a Property, Owner shall pay to Agent the following: a real estate commission in connection with the sale
of a Property in an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the gross sales price of the Property, if, but only if, the sales price of the Property exceeds the sum of (A) the Company’s cost for the Property (consisting of the original purchase
price plus all capitalized costs and expenditures connected with the Property), without any reduction for depreciation, and (B) ten percent (10%) of such cost. If the person from whom Owner purchases or to whom Owner sells a Property pays any fee to
Agent, such amount shall decrease the amount of Owner’s obligation to Agent. Furthermore, Agent shall not be entitled to any real estate commission in connection with a sale of a Property by Owner to Agent or any Affiliate of Agent (where
“Affiliate” has the meaning specified in the Prospectus of Owner), but Agent will, in such case, be entitled to payment by Owner of its direct costs in such regard. The fees and expenses provided for herein shall be payable if Owner sells
a property, sells shares in Owner, effects a merger of Owner with another entity, or undertakes any other transaction, the purpose or effect of which is, in essence, to dispose of some or all Properties. In any case other than an actual sale of
Properties, Owner and Agent shall in good faith agree upon an allocation of purchase price to each Property which is effectively disposed of. 
  
 (b) In the event Owner purchases, sells, conveys or otherwise transfers a Property within ninety (90) days after the expiration of this
Agreement to a person or persons with whom Agent on behalf of Owner has negotiated as a prospective purchaser or buyer of a Property during the term of this Agreement, Agent shall be deemed to have earned the compensation provided in Section 5(a)
and such compensation shall be due and payable to Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) Agent substantially performs all of the duties and obligations that it would otherwise have under this Agreement if the
Agreement had not terminated, and (ii) Agent has given written notice to Owner of the name of such purchaser or buyer prior to the expiration of the term of this Agreement. 
  
 6. Power of Attorney. Owner hereby makes, constitutes and appoints Agent its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, for it and in
its name, place and stead and for its use and benefit to sign, acknowledge and file all documents and agreements (other than contracts for purchase or sale of a Property, promissory notes, mortgages, deeds of trust or other documents or instruments
which would bind Owner to purchase or sell a Property, result or evidence the incurrence of debt by Owner, or encumber a Property) necessary to perform or effect the duties and obligations of Agent under the terms of this Agreement. The foregoing
power of attorney is a special power of attorney coupled with an interest. It shall terminate when this Agreement terminates as provided herein. 
  

 3 

 7. Relationship of Parties. The parties agree and acknowledge that Agent is and shall operate as an
independent contractor in performing its duties under this Agreement, and shall not be deemed an employee of Owner. 
  
 8. Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents the entire understanding between the parties hereto with regard to the transactions described herein and
may only be amended by a written instrument signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought. 
  
 9. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia without regard to
conflicts of law. 
  
 10. Exclusion of Third Party Beneficiary.
This Agreement is not intended for the benefit of any person or entity who is not a party to this Agreement, and no such person or entity shall have any rights in connection with this Agreement, whether for enforcement or otherwise. 
  
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the
day and year first above written.
