                    Re: Terms of Separation

Dear Vinod:

This letter supersedes and cancels the previous Terms of Separation letter dated November 7, 2005. This letter sets forth the amended terms of our agreement with respect to your separation from service with LogicVision, Inc. (the “Company”) and offers you the separation compensation we discussed in exchange for a mutual release of claims.

	
  
 
  	
  
1.
  	
  
Separation Date:  Your employment and membership on the   Board of Directors of the Company is terminated effective November 7, 2005   (the “Separation Date”).
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
2.
  	
  
Acknowledgement of Payment of Wages:  By your signature below, you acknowledge   that on November 7, 2005, we provided you a final paycheck in the gross   amount of $5,000.00 and on November 15, 2005 we provided you with an   additional paycheck in the gross amount of $36,923.08, together representing   all wages, salary, bonuses, reimbursable expenses, accrued PTO and any   similar payments due you from the Company as of the Separation Date.  By signing below, you acknowledge that the   Company does not owe you any other amounts.

The Company will provide you the documents that you will need to   review and submit if you elect to continue any or all of the above   coverage.  If you elect to continue   your coverage under COBRA, the Company will pay those premiums for your   coverage for one year, until November 30, 2006.

You acknowledge that you have   continuing obligations under the Federal and state securities laws for a   period of time following the Separation Date, including (without limitation)   under Rule 144 and Section 16, and that you may not sell shares of the   Company’s common stock in violation of the Company’s insider trading policy   or in violation of Rule 10b-5.

Exhibit A to Separation Agreement

LOGICVISION, INC.

EMPLOYEE PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND INVENTIONS
 AGREEMENT

                              In consideration of my employment by LogicVision, Inc. (the “Company”), I hereby agree to certain restrictions placed by the Company on my use and development of proprietary information, intellectual property and technology of the Company, as more fully set out below.

                    1. Proprietary Information.

                              (a)          Confidential Restrictions.  I understand that, in the course of my work as an employee of the Company, I may have access to Proprietary Information (as defined below) concerning the Company and its clients.  I acknowledge that the Company has developed, compiled, and otherwise obtained, often at great expense, this Proprietary Information, which has great value to the Company’s business.  I agree to hold in strict confidence and in trust for the sole benefit of the Company all Proprietary Information and will not disclose any Proprietary Information, directly or indirectly, to anyone outside of the Company, or use, copy, publish, summarize, or remove from Company premises such Proprietary
Information (or remove from the premises any other property of the Company) except (i) during my employment to the extent necessary to carry out my responsibilities as an employee of the Company in furtherance of the business of Company, or (ii) after termination of my employment, as specifically authorized in writing by the President of the Company.  I further understand that the publication of any Proprietary Information through literature or speeches must be approved in advance in writing by the President of the Company.

                              (b)          Proprietary Information Defined.  I understand that the reference to “Proprietary Information” in this Agreement means all information and any idea in whatever form, tangible or intangible, whether disclosed to or learned or developed by me, pertaining in any manner to the business of the Company (or any affiliate of it that might be formed) or to the Company’s clients, consultants, or business associates.  Proprietary Information includes, by way of example but not of limitation,:(w) formulas, teaching techniques, processes, trade secrets, electronic codes, proprietary techniques, know-how, inventions, improvements, research projects, computer programs, software, designs, schematics; (x)
information about costs, pricing, profits, markets, sales, and lists of customers, salary and compensation information; (y) plans for future development and new product concepts; and (z) all documents, books, papers, drawings, models, sketches, and other data of any kind and description, including electronic data recorded or retrieved by any means, that have been or will be given to me by the Company

(or any affiliate of it that might be formed); as well as written or verbal instructions or comments.  I further understand that the Company considers the following information to be included, without limitation, in the definition of Proprietary Information:  Invention Ideas (as defined in Section 2(a) below), as well as confidential or proprietary information of a third party to whom Company owes a duty of confidentiality or non-use.  Proprietary Information does not include (i) information that is or becomes publicly known through lawful means; (ii) information that was rightfully in my possession or part of my general knowledge prior to my employment by the Company; or (iii) information that is disclosed to me without confidential or proprietary restriction by a third party who rightfully possesses the information (without confidential or proprietary restriction) and did not learn of it, directly or indirectly, from the Company. 

                              (c)          Information Use.  I agree that I will maintain at my work station or in other places under my control only such Proprietary Information that I have a current “need to know,” and that I will promptly return to the appropriate person or location or otherwise destroy Proprietary Information once my need to know no longer exists.  I agree that I will not make copies of information unless I have a legitimate need for such copies in connection with my work.

                              (d)          Prior Actions and Knowledge.  I hereby represent and warrant that from the time of my first contact or communication with the Company I have held in strict confidence and in trust for the sole benefit of the Company all Proprietary Information and have not disclosed any Proprietary Information, directly or indirectly, to anyone outside of the Company, or used, copied, published, or summarized any Proprietary Information except to the extent permitted by Section I (a) above.  Except as disclosed on Exhibit A to this Agreement, I do not know anything about the Company’s business or Proprietary Information, other than information I have learned from the Company in the course of being hired, which shall be
considered Proprietary Information even if disclosed to me prior to beginning my term of employment.

                              (e)          Third Party Information.  I recognize that the Company has received and in the future will receive from third parties their confidential or proprietary information subject to a duty on the Company’s part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes.  I agree that I owe the Company and such third parties, during the term of my employment and thereafter, a duty to hold all such confidential or proprietary information in the strictest confidence and not to disclose it to any person, firm, or corporation (except as necessary in carrying out my work for the Company consistent with the Company’s agreement with such third party) or to use it
for the benefit of anyone other than for the Company or such third party (consistent with the Company’s agreement with such third party) without the express written authorization of the President of the Company.

                              (f)          Non-Solicitation of Employees.  During the term of my employment and for one (1) year thereafter, I will not encourage or solicit any employee of the Company to leave the Company for any reason or to accept employment with any other company.  As part of this restriction, I will not interview or provide any input to any third party regarding any such person during the period in question.  However, this obligation shall not affect any responsibility I may have as an employee of the Company with respect to the bona fide hiring and firing of Company personnel.

                    2. Inventions.

                              (a)          Defined; Statutory Notice.  I understand that during the term of my employment, there are certain restrictions on my development of technology, ideas, and inventions, referred to in this Agreement as “Invention Ideas.” The term Invention Ideas means any and all ideas, processes, know-how, techniques, trademarks, service marks, inventions, technology, computer programs, software, logic design, documentation, original works of authorship, designs, formulas, discoveries, patents, copyrights, and all improvements, rights, and claims related to the foregoing that are conceived, developed, or reduced to practice by me alone or with others whether or not reduced to drawings, written descriptions,
documentation, models or other tangible form during my employment by Company, except to the extent that California Labor Code Section 2870 lawfully prohibits the assignment of rights in such ideas, processes, inventions, etc.  I understand that Section 2870(a) provides:

	
  
 
  	
  
Any   provision in an employment agreement which provides that an employee shall   assign, or offer to assign, any of his or her rights in an invention to his   or her employer shall not apply to an invention that the employee developed   entirely on his or her own time without using the employer’s equipment, supplies,   facilities, or trade secret information except for those inventions that   either:
  

	
   
  	
  
(1)
  	
  
Relate at   the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the   employer’s business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development   of the employer.

and agents as my agent and attorney-in-fact, to act for and in my behalf and stead, to execute and file any such document, and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution, issuance, and enforcement of patents, copyrights, or other rights or protections with the same force and effect as if executed and delivered by me.

pre-employment inventions as of the effective date of this Agreement.

                           3.1.1          Subject to Section 3.1.2, Seller agrees to allow Purchaser or Purchaser’s agents or representatives reasonable access to the Property (during normal business hours) for purposes of any non-intrusive physical or environmental inspection of the Property and review of, as available, the Contracts, the Approvals, Seller’s books and records relating to the Property (other than any privileged, records or Seller’s internal appraisals, valuations, projections, income tax returns and similar records), environmental studies and reports, surveys, building and systems plans, copies of all existing architectural and engineering studies, title insurance policies, zoning and site plan materials, books, records, financial statements, advance
reservations and room bookings and function bookings, rate schedules, occupancy, use, sales or similar tax audits and reports and any and all other materials or information relating to the operation of the Property (collectively, the “Property Documents”) which are in, or come into, the Seller’s possession or control and income and expense statements, as Purchaser may reasonably request, provided that no such inspection or review shall interfere with the continuing operation of the Property in the ordinary course of business as a hotel.  Purchaser shall not conduct or authorize any physically intrusive testing of, on or under the Property without first obtaining Seller’s written consent (which consent Seller shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay) as to the timing and scope of work to be performed.  Purchaser shall immediately repair and restore any portion the Property which becomes damaged as a result of Purchaser’s access pursuant to this
Section 3.1 to the condition which existed immediately prior to Purchaser’s access.  In the event Purchaser shall fail to undertake such repair and/or restoration, Seller shall have the right to undertake same and Purchaser shall immediately reimburse Seller for all of its costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith immediately upon demand therefor.  Purchaser’s repair and restoration obligations set forth in this Section 3.1.1 shall survive any termination of this Agreement. 

                           3.1.2          Purchaser agrees that, prior to undertaking any physical or environmental inspections of the Property, Purchaser or Purchaser’s agents will obtain not less than Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00) commercial general liability insurance with contractual liability endorsement which insures Purchaser’s indemnity obligations under this Section 3.1 and which names Seller and any of Seller’s agents (as Seller shall require) as insureds thereunder (a copy of which policy, upon the request of Seller, Purchaser will provide to Seller) issued by a licensed insurance company reasonably acceptable to Seller.  Such insurance coverage shall be maintained by Purchaser as long as this Agreement remains in force and
effect.  Purchaser shall not unreasonably interfere with the activity of Seller, Hotel guests or any persons occupying or providing service at the Property.  Purchaser shall give Seller reasonable prior notice of Purchaser’s intention to conduct any inspections and Seller reserves the right to have a representative present during any or all such inspections.  Purchaser agrees to provide Seller with a copy of any inspection report upon Seller’s written request.  Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller and Seller’s affiliates, subsidiaries, shareholders, officers, directors and agents harmless from any claims, liabilities, damages and penalties, and any loss, injury, damage or expense, including attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of (a) a breach by Purchaser of the foregoing agreements; or (b) the exercise by Purchaser or its agents or representatives of the right of access under this Section 3.1 (collectively, the “Purchaser’s Indemnity
Obligations”).  Any inspections shall be at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense.  All agreements of, and indemnifications by, Purchaser under this Section 3.1 shall survive Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

6

                           3.1.3          Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, Seller makes no representations or warranties as to the accuracy or completeness of any materials, data or other information, including without limitation the contents of the books and records of Seller, the Approvals, the Contracts or income and expense statements, supplied to Purchaser in connection with Purchaser’s inspection of the Property.  Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, it is the parties’ express understanding and agreement that all such materials are provided by Seller solely for Purchaser’s convenience in making its own examination and determination prior to the Approval Date (as defined in Section 3.5).

            3.2          Title and Survey.  Within five (5) business days after the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser (i) a copy of Seller’s most recent title policy (and all exception documents in Seller’s possession) issued in connection with the Property, and (ii) a copy of the most recent survey of the Property showing the improvements thereof (the “Existing Survey”).  Purchaser shall obtain: (a) a current commitment for title insurance or preliminary title report (the “Title Commitment”) issued by the Title Company, in the amount of the Purchase Price with Purchaser as the proposed insured, and (b) copies of all documents of record referred to in the Title Commitment as exceptions to title to the Property.  Purchaser may elect to obtain a new survey or revise, modify, or
re-certify the Existing Survey (“Survey”) as necessary in order for the Title Company to delete the survey exception from the Title Commitment or to otherwise satisfy Purchaser’s objectives.  Purchaser shall have until the Approval Date to provide written notice to Seller of any matters affecting title to the Property as shown on the Title Commitment (collectively, the “Title Objections”), or any matters affecting title to the Property as shown on the Survey (the “Survey Objections”), which are not satisfactory to Purchaser, which notice (“Title Notice”) must specify the reason such matters are not satisfactory, and the curative steps necessary to remove the basis for Purchaser’s disapproval.  It is Purchaser’s obligation to provide the Title Notice at least three (3) business days prior to the Approval Date to permit the parties to then have until three (3) business days prior to the Approval Date to make such arrangements or take such
steps as they shall mutually agree to satisfy Purchaser’s objections; provided, however, that Seller shall have no obligation whatsoever to expend or agree to expend any funds, to undertake or agree to undertake any obligations or otherwise to attempt to cure or agree to attempt to cure any Title Objections or Survey Objections, and Seller shall not be deemed to have any obligation to attempt to cure any such matters unless Seller expressly undertakes such an obligation by a written notice to or written agreement with Purchaser given or entered into on or prior to the Approval Date and which recites that it is in response to a Title Notice.  Purchaser’s sole right with respect to any Title Objections or Survey Objections contained in a Title Notice given in a timely manner shall be to elect on or before the Approval Date to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 3.5 hereof in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser.  All Title Objections or Survey Objections
with respect to which a timely Title Notice is given but Seller expressly agrees to attempt to cure as provided above, shall be deemed to be approved by Purchaser as “Permitted Exceptions” as provided in Section 3.4 hereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller further agrees to remove any exceptions or encumbrances to title which are voluntarily created by, under or through Seller after the Effective Date without Purchaser’s consent, and any liens for unpaid taxes, assessments and other charges which are due and payable, mechanics and materialman’s liens, judgment liens, and any mortgages, deeds of trust and security interests encumbering any of the Property, all of which shall be deemed Title Objections.

7

            3.3          Contracts.  As used herein, the term “Contracts” shall mean all service, maintenance, supply, equipment lease, capital improvement or other contracts relating to the operation of the Property, in effect as of the date hereof which are listed on Exhibit 1.1.6 attached hereto and any new contracts entered into pursuant to Section 4.5.  Purchaser shall, at Closing, assume all Contracts as provided in Exhibit 9.1.3.

            3.4          Permitted Exceptions.  Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved and to have agreed to purchase the Property subject to the following:

                           3.4.1          All Title Objections and/or Survey Objections which Purchaser has otherwise approved or is deemed to have approved pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.2 hereof and any exceptions or encumbrances to title which are voluntarily created by, under or through Seller after the Effective Date which were consented to by Purchaser;

                           3.4.2          All Contracts;

                           3.4.3          Subject to prorations, the lien of real and personal property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable;

                           3.4.4          Tenancies, other than pursuant to Hotel guests, subject to other provisions of this Agreement, limited to those listed and new ones entered into in accordance with this Agreement;

                           3.4.5          Subject to the proration provisions hereof, charges for sewer, water, electricity, telephone, cable television or gas;

                           3.4.6          Rights of tenants other than Seller to remove trade fixtures;

                           3.4.7          Any law, ordinance, order, restriction, rule or regulation, now or hereafter adopted, of any governmental department or authority having jurisdiction over the Property or the operation thereof, including, without limitation, zoning and alcoholic beverage control ordinances, regulations and restrictions;

                           3.4.8          Except as elsewhere provided herein, future reservations and bookings and any occupancy rights that any Hotel guest, tenant or occupant may have pursuant to applicable law; and

                           3.4.9          Any liens, encumbrances, restrictions or other matters which affect the Property solely as a result of acts of Purchaser, its agents, employees or contractors.

                           All of the foregoing are referred to herein collectively as the “Permitted Exceptions”.

8

            3.5          Purchaser’s Right to Terminate.  If, as a result of its various investigations or otherwise, Purchaser determines that the Property is not a suitable investment for its purposes or that Purchaser does not want to acquire the Property, in its sole, absolute and arbitrary discretion, Purchaser shall have the right by giving Seller written notice (the “Termination Notice”) on or before 5:00 p.m. E.S.T. on the date which is thirty (30) days after the Effective Date (the “Approval Date”) to terminate its obligation to purchase the Property.  If a proper Termination Notice is timely given, the Title Company shall return the Initial Deposit to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further obligations or liability hereunder, except Purchaser’s Indemnity Obligations set forth in Section
3.1.2 hereof and the Confidentiality Obligations set forth in Section 3.6 hereof.  In the event that Purchaser does not tender to Seller a proper Termination Notice prior to 5:00 p.m. E.S.T. on the Approval Date: (x) Purchaser shall immediately tender the Additional Deposit to the Title Company, in immediately-available funds; (y) the Deposit shall be non-refundable, except in the event of Seller’s uncured default hereunder or except as otherwise expressly set forth herein; and (z) Purchaser shall have no further rights to the Deposit, and no further right to terminate this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein.

            3.6          Confidentiality.  Unless Seller specifically and expressly otherwise agrees in writing, Purchaser agrees that all documents and information regarding the Property of whatsoever nature made available to it by Seller or Seller’s agents or representatives and the results of all investigations, tests and studies of the Property, whether conducted by or on behalf of Seller, Purchaser or any other person or entity (collectively, the “Proprietary Information”) are proprietary and confidential and Purchaser shall not disclose to any other person except to persons who, in the reasonable business judgment of Purchaser, “need to know” for the purpose of evaluating or effecting the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and who are instructed to keep such information confidential, such as their
respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, accountants, engineers, surveyors, consultants, financiers, partners, investors, potential property managers, lessees and bankers and such other third parties whose assistance is required in connection with the consummation of this transaction; provided, however, that information or documents shall not be subject to the provisions of this Section 3.6 if, not otherwise in violation of this Section 3.6, such information or documents, (i) were or become(s) generally available to the public, (ii) were or become(s) available to Purchaser on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Seller, or (iii) were or are developed by Purchaser without using or relying on any confidential information or confidential documents otherwise covered by the provisions of this Section 3.6.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it is acknowledged that Purchaser is an affiliate of a publicly traded company; consequently,
Purchaser and its affiliates shall have the absolute and unbridled right to disclose any proprietary or other information regarding the transaction contemplated by this Agreement required by law or as reasonably determined to be necessary or appropriate by Purchaser and its affiliates or their attorneys to satisfy disclosure and reporting obligations of Purchaser or its affiliates.  In the event the purchase and sale contemplated hereby fails to close for any reason whatsoever, other than a Seller default, Purchaser agrees to return or deliver to Seller, or cause to be returned or delivered to Seller all Proprietary Information.  Further, Purchaser agrees not to use or allow to be used any Proprietary Information for any purpose other than in connection with the purchase under this Agreement and the operation of the Property post-Closing.  All obligations of Purchaser under this Section 3.6 shall be referred to as the “Confidentiality Obligations”.  Purchaser shall
indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller against all costs, claims and damages, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, suffered or sustained as the result of Purchaser’s breach of the Confidentiality Obligations.  In addition to any other remedy available to Seller, Seller shall have the right to seek injunctive relief in the event of any violation or breach of this Section 3.6.  Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 3.6 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

9

            3.7          Right to Audit. Any time after the Effective Date, Purchaser may, at its sole cost and expense, engage a third-party certified public accountant to perform audits with respect to the Hotel providing all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles and Securities and Exchange Commission regulations, specifically in accordance with Section 3.05 of Regulation S-X and all related rules and regulations thereof. Seller, at no cost or expense to Seller, shall, and shall use reasonable efforts to cause its property manager to, cooperate in a commercially reasonable manner in connection with the performance of such audits and to provide information reasonably requested by such accountants. In connection with such audits, Seller, at no cost or expense to Seller, shall and shall use reasonable efforts to
cause its property manager to provide the accountants performing such audits with representation letters conforming to American Institute of Certified Public Accountants professional standards. The provisions of this Section 3.7 shall survive the Closing

4.          Prior to Closing.

            4.1          Insurance.  Until Closing, Seller or Seller’s agents shall keep the Property insured, including without limitation, insurance against fire and other hazards covered by extended coverage endorsement and commercial public liability insurance against claims for bodily injury, death and property damage occurring in, on or about the Property, in such amounts and with such coverages and deductibles as in effect on the Effective Date.

            4.2          Operation.  Until Closing, Seller or Seller’s agents shall operate and maintain the Property and the business of the Hotel conducted thereon and make repairs thereto substantially in accordance with Seller’s past practices with respect thereto, and deliver the Property to Purchaser at Closing in its present condition, normal wear and tear excepted, and subject to the provisions of Section 7.1 with respect to any loss or damage to the Property.  Such continuing operation shall include Seller’s obligation to deliver the Property to Purchaser at Closing with customary levels of inventories and supplies. 

            4.3          Bookings.  Between the date hereof and the Date of Closing, Seller shall continue to accept booking contracts for the Hotel facilities in accordance with past practice.

            4.4          Liquor License..  Seller agrees to transfer and shall cooperate reasonably in Purchaser’s efforts to transfer (either to Purchaser or its designee) alcohol beverage license number BEV5802007 (the “License”) to the extent to which the License is transferable.  Except as provided below, such cooperation shall be limited to performing the following in a timely fashion when requested by Purchaser: (i) the execution of those forms presented by Purchaser and required by the Florida Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco (“Division”) to be executed by Seller in order for such transfer to be completed; and (ii) the provision of data both required by the Division and known to Seller.

10

If Purchaser cannot achieve the transfer of the License by Closing solely because of applicable federal, state or local laws, Seller shall cooperate reasonably with Purchaser to allow Purchaser to sell alcohol beverages at the Hotel, provided that Seller determines, in its reasonable discretion, both: (i) that such continued sale does not violate any applicable federal, state or local statute, regulation, ordinance, law, or regulatory agency enforcement policy; and (ii) that Purchaser has provided Seller (through a separate agreement negotiated between Seller and Purchaser) with indemnification, insurance coverage, evidence of the indemnitor’s insurance coverage,  and other promises sufficient, in Seller’s reasonable discretion, to protect Seller from all categories of loss or damages which might arise from the sale of alcohol beverages at the Hotel or Seller’s continued licensure to sell alcohol beverages at the Hotel on the Date of Closing or
thereafter.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.4, Purchaser agrees and acknowledges that: (i) Seller shall not be required to incur any expense of any nature whatsoever to discharge its duties under this Section 4.4; and (ii) in no event shall Seller have any obligation to ensure the continued sale of alcohol beverages at the Hotel on or after the sixty-first (61st) calendar day following the Date of Closing.  The parties’ respective obligations under this Section 4.4 shall survive Closing.  

            4.5          New Contracts.  Between the date hereof and the Date of Closing, Seller will enter into only those Contracts which Seller believes are necessary to carry out its obligations under Section 4.2 and which shall be cancelable without cost to Purchaser on not more than thirty (30) days written notice.  If Seller enters into any such Contract, it shall promptly provide written notice thereof to Purchaser and it shall be treated as a Contract for all purposes of this Agreement.

            4.6          New Employees. Seller and its property manager shall make available to Purchaser and/or its property manager, to the extent permitted by law, information within its possession or control regarding each Hotel employee reasonably requested by Purchaser, including salaries and duties and length of service, and other compensation and fringe benefits, and whether such Hotel employee is participating in a group health plan maintained by Seller or its manager or any of their affiliates through the exercise of COBRA benefits. Beginning immediately after the Approval Date if Purchaser has not given Seller the Termination Notice, Seller shall provide to Purchaser and/or its manager, at no cost or expense to Purchaser or its manager, a meeting room suitable for Purchaser or its manager to conduct interviews and evaluate employment
applications of those parties who may seek employment at the Hotel following Closing and Seller shall cause its manager, to reasonably cooperate with Purchaser or its manager’s efforts to conduct such interviews.

            4.7          Termination of Hotel Employees; WARN Act. The employment of all Hotel employees shall be terminated by Owner or its manager on or immediately prior to the Closing (the “Terminated Employees”). (For purposes of WARN Act liability, the Closing is considered to be the “effective date of sale”). Purchaser’s manager or its affiliate shall offer employment to a sufficient number of Terminated Employees on such terms and conditions so as to prevent the application of the U.S. Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (“WARN Act”). At Closing, Purchaser agrees to assume or cause its manager to assume any collective bargaining agreements in effect as of the date of this Agreement with respect to Hotel employees. The provisions of this Section 4.7 shall survive the
Closing.

11

            4.8          Employee Claims.  Seller shall hold harmless, indemnify and defend or cause to be indemnified and defended Purchaser, Purchaser’s manager and their affiliates from and against any and all claims, causes of action, proceedings, judgments, damages, penalties, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Purchaser, Purchaser’s manager and their affiliates with respect to claims, causes of action, judgments, damages, penalties and liabilities arising out of or related to (A) any benefit plan or employment agreement to the extent related to, or arising out of any period before the Closing, (B) any collective bargaining agreements to the extent related to, or arising out of, any period before the Closing, or (C) any individual formerly employed at the
Hotel, or any Hotel employees, or any claims asserted by them or by any employee benefit plans, labor unions, federal, state or local governments or government agencies, or other persons or entities asserting claims for, relating to, or on behalf of such employees, to the extent arising out of any act, failure to act, any transaction or any facts or circumstances (i) occurring prior to the Closing or (ii) undertaken or caused by Seller or its manager in connection with Hotel employees in connection with this Agreement or the Closing, including, without limitation: (A) the termination of such Hotel employees by Seller or its manager, excluding any liability under the WARN Act solely resulting from Purchaser’s failure to comply with its obligations under Section 4.7 above; (B) the failure of Seller or its manager (or their affiliates) at or before Closing to comply with any laws relating to the employment of such Hotel employees or any union organizing effort or collective bargaining
agreement proposed for such Hotel employees; (C) any alleged discrimination, breach of contract or other wrongful termination by Seller or its manager or their affiliates at or before Closing; (D) any alleged right to workers’ compensation benefits, unemployment compensation or statutory or contractual severance arising out of or relating to any period before Closing; and (E) all costs and expenses associated with salary, wages, bonuses, profit sharing, pension, health and welfare benefits, employee severance payments and other compensation and fringe benefits (including sick leave and vacation pay) that are accrued or earned by Hotel employees rehired or retained by Purchaser’s manager or their affiliates after Closing but are unpaid as of the Date of Closing to the extent related to, or arising out of, any period before the Closing.

          Purchaser shall hold harmless, indemnify and defend Seller and its manager and their affiliates from and against any and all claims, causes of action, proceedings, judgments, damages, penalties, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Seller or its manager or any affiliate thereof with respect to claims, causes of action, judgments, damages, penalties and liabilities asserted by Hotel employees hired on or after the Date of Closing by Purchaser or its manager or their affiliates, asserted by Hotel employees and other applicants not hired by Purchaser or its manager or their affiliates, or asserted by employee benefit plans, labor unions, federal, state or local governments or government agencies, or other persons or entities asserting claims for, relating to, or on behalf of such employees or applicants, to the extent arising out of any
act, failure to act, any transaction or any facts or circumstances (i) occurring, and attributable to the period, from and after the Date of Closing, or (ii) undertaken or caused by Purchaser or its affiliates in connection with this Agreement or the Closing, including, without limitation (A) the termination by Purchaser or its manager or their affiliates of Hotel employees who are hired by Purchaser or its manager or their affiliates; (B) any and all liability under the WARN Act for any breach by Purchaser’s manager under Section 4.7; (C) any alleged discrimination, breach of contract or other wrongful termination, with respect to Hotel employees hired or retained on or after Closing by Purchaser, its manager or their affiliates, or any final, non-appealable judgments arising out of any claims made by Hotel employees or other applicants claiming that they were discriminated against in Purchaser’s, Purchaser manager’s or their affiliates’ decision not to hire or retain such Hotel
employees or applicants;  and (D) any alleged right to workers’ compensation benefits, unemployment compensation, contractual severance, or statutory severance, for Hotel employees hired or retained on or after Closing by Purchaser, Purchaser’s manager, or their affiliates, including claims for any withdrawal liability under any Multiemployer plan, in each case solely attributable to the period from and after the Closing.

          The provisions of this Section 4.8 shall survive the Closing.

12

            4.9          COBRA Requirements.

                                                  (a)          Seller, Seller’s manager or their affiliates shall be responsible for the provision of all notices under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), in order to comply with the requirements of COBRA with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, including the provision of COBRA notices to all Terminated Employees and their COBRA beneficiaries. Purchaser or its affiliates shall only be responsible for the provision of any notices required to comply with the requirements of COBRA with respect to any Terminated Employees hired or retained
by Purchaser, Purchaser’s manager or their affiliates, or COBRA beneficiaries thereof, who experience a qualifying event under Purchaser’s or its manager’s health plan, if any, after Closing.

                                                  (b)          For purposes of this provision, the term “group health coverage continuation” shall mean the requirement to make available continuation of group health coverage pursuant to: (1) Section 4980B of the Code, and/or (2) Sections 601 through 608 of ERISA, and/or (3) any applicable state law. The term “qualified beneficiaries” shall mean any individuals who are entitled to group health coverage continuation under applicable federal or state law. The term “qualifying event” shall refer to an event resulting in the loss of group health coverage to a qualified beneficiary as provided
under applicable federal or state law.

                                                  (c)          Seller, Seller’s manager or their affiliates shall retain all obligations and liabilities for group health coverage continuation with respect to (1) any qualified beneficiary whose qualifying event occurs after the Date of Closing in connection with the employment, after the Date of Closing, of a Hotel employee by Seller, its manager or any of their Affiliates; (2) all qualified beneficiaries who elected continuation of group health coverage prior to the Date of Closing; (3) all qualified beneficiaries, with respect to any group health plan of Seller, its manager or any affiliate, who have
experienced a qualifying event on or before the Date of Closing, but for whom the election period for continuation of group health coverage has not terminated; and (4) all qualified beneficiaries with respect to whom Seller, its manager or their affiliates are required to provide COBRA notice as set forth in Section 4.9(a), above to the extent the qualifying event occurred at or before Closing.

                                                  (d)          Purchaser or its manager or their affiliates shall only be responsible for obligations and liabilities for group health coverage continuation with respect to those Terminated Employees hired on or after the Closing by Purchaser or its manager or their affiliates and who become participants in the Purchaser’s or its manager’s or their affiliates’ group health plan and who experience a qualifying event after the Date of Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation of Purchaser or its manager and their affiliates under COBRA shall be limited to those qualified beneficiaries who become
participants in the health care plans of Purchaser or its manager and their affiliates on or after the Closing. Purchaser shall indemnify and defend Seller and its manager and their affiliates from and against any and all claims, causes of action, proceedings, judgments, damages, penalties, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Seller or its manager or any affiliate thereof to the extent arising out of or resulting from Purchaser’s, Purchaser manager’s or their affiliates’ failure to comply with any provision of this Section 4.9(d).

13

                                                  (e)          Seller shall indemnify and defend Purchaser and its manager and their affiliates from and against any and all claims, causes of action, proceedings, judgments, damages, penalties, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Purchaser or its manager or their affiliates to the extent arising out of or resulting from Seller’s, Seller’s manager or their affiliates’ failure to comply with any provision of this Section 4.9.

            The provisions of this Section 4.9 shall survive the Closing.

5.          Representations and Warranties.

            5.1          By Seller.  Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that:

                           5.1.1          Seller is a retirement system created pursuant to the laws of the State of Illinois.

                           5.1.2          Seller has the power and authority to acquire, own, and dispose of the Property and to engage in the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, and as of the Approval Date, this Agreement will have been authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Seller.  This Agreement has been executed and delivered by Seller, constitutes the valid and binding agreement of Seller and is enforceable in accordance with its terms.  No consent or approval of any person, entity or governmental authority is required to be obtained by Seller in order for Seller to enter into and perform this Agreement except those that have been obtained and are in full force and effect.

                           5.1.3          The execution and performance of this Agreement and the subsequent sale of the Property by Seller will not result in a breach of, violate any term or provision of, or constitute a default under, any articles of incorporation, bylaws, agreement, indenture, mortgage or other document by which Seller is bound.

                           5.1.4          The Contracts listed on Exhibit 1.1.6 are all of the service, maintenance, supply, capital improvement, equipment lease or other contracts to be assumed by Purchaser relating to the operation and management of the Property.  Seller has delivered true, correct and complete copies of the Contracts to Purchaser.  To Seller’s knowledge, Seller is not in default in any material respect under the Contracts and there is no existing condition that, with notice or passage of time or both, would constitute a material default by Seller under any of the Contracts.  To Seller’s knowledge, no other party to a Contract is in default in any material respect under any of the Contracts and there is no existing condition that,

purchase price, but Seller  shall assign to Purchaser at Closing all of Seller’s interest in any insurance proceeds (except only use and occupancy insurance, rent loss and business interruption insurance, and any similar insurance for the period preceding the Closing Date) that may be payable to Seller on account of any such fire or other casualty, plus Seller shall credit the amount of any deductibles under any policies related to such proceeds to the purchase price, to the extent such deductibles have not been previously expended or are otherwise required to reimburse Owner for actual expenditures of restoration.  If any such damage due to fire or other casualty is insured and is to such an extent as would cost more than $5,000,000.00 or would take longer than six (6) months to repair or would otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Property, then, at Purchaser’s option, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement and the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser. Should
Purchaser nevertheless elect to proceed to Closing, the Closing shall take place without abatement of the Purchase Price and at Closing Seller  shall assign to Purchaser all of Seller’s interest in any insurance proceeds (except only use and occupancy insurance, rent loss and business interruption insurance, and any similar insurance, in each case, for the period proceeding the Closing Date) that may be payable to Seller  on account of any such fire or other casualty, and Seller shall grant to Purchaser a credit against the purchase price equal to the amount of the applicable deductible. If, prior to Closing, the Property is damaged by fire or other casualty which is uninsured and would cost more than $5,000,000.00 to repair or would not take longer than six (6) months to repair or would otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Property, then, at Purchaser’s option, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement and the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser.  If Purchaser does
not elect to terminate this Agreement with respect to an uninsured casualty as aforesaid, or if any uninsured casualty would not cost not more than $5,000,000.00 to repair and would not take longer than six (6) months to repair and would not otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Property, then the Closing shall take place as provided herein, and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the estimated amount to repair such casualty not to exceed such $5,000,000.00.

            7.2           Condemnation. 
Seller agrees to give Purchaser prompt notice of any notice it receives (or
knowledge it otherwise obtains) of any taking by condemnation (actual, pending
or threatened) of any part of or rights appurtenant to the Property. Purchaser
shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in the event of such actual,
pending or threatened condemnation in which event the Deposit shall be returned
to Purchaser. If Purchaser does not so elect to terminate this Agreement, then
the Closing shall take place as provided herein, and Owner shall assign to
Purchaser at the Closing all of Owner’s interest in any condemnation award
which may be payable to Owner on account of any such condemnation and, at
Closing, Owner shall credit to the amount of the Purchase Price payable by
Purchaser the amount, if any, of condemnation proceeds received by Owner between
the Effective Date and Closing less any amounts which are reasonably allocated
to lost earnings reasonably allocated or attributed to the period of time prior
to Closing. Provided Purchaser has not exercised its right to terminate this
Agreement with respect to such Property, Owner shall notify Purchaser in advance
regarding any proceeding or negotiation with respect to the condemnation and
Purchaser shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to appear and
participate in any such proceeding or negotiation.

23

            7.3            Termination and Return of Deposit.  If either party elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7, Seller shall promptly direct the Title Company to return the Deposit to Purchaser

8.          Notices.

cost, damage and expense (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising out of or incurred by Seller with respect to any guest property; provided, however, that Seller shall indemnify, defend, through counsel reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, and hold harmless Purchaser from and against claims of baggage and property not listed in such inventory but shown or alleged to have been left in custody at the Property prior to the Closing Date.  The provisions of the two (2) immediately preceding sentences shall survive the Closing.

            9.10          Intentionally Omitted.

            9.11          Property Not Included in the Sale.  All baggage and other property of Hotel guests that is being retained by Seller as security for unpaid accounts receivable shall be removed or otherwise disposed of by Seller within thirty (30) days after Closing.  

            9.12          Intentionally Omitted.  

            9.13          Final Reconciliation.  A final reconciliation of all prorations to be made with respect to the Hotel shall be made not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the Date of Closing and an appropriate payment shall be made by Seller to Purchaser or by Purchaser to Seller.  The foregoing obligations of Seller and Purchaser shall survive the Closing.

            9.14          Intentionally Omitted.

            9.15          Notice Letters.

Purchaser agrees to provide an office for use by Seller’s designated agent during this period, free of charge, and to allow Seller’s designated agent use of all office equipment (at Seller’s expense) and access to all books and records not heretofore removed by Seller as long as Seller’s designated agent does not interfere with the continued operation of the Hotel in the ordinary course of business.  All
salaries and other expenses of Seller’s designated agent shall be borne by Seller.

            9.18          Transfers to Purchaser’s Operating Lessee. Upon request of Purchaser, such portions of the Personal Property, Contracts, warranties and guaranties, tenancies and occupancy agreements, and Approvals designated by Seller shall be conveyed, transferred and assigned at Closing by Seller to Purchaser’s operating lessee, by bills of sale and assignments substantially in the forms attached hereto for such conveyances, transfers and assignments to Purchaser.

27

10.        Default; Failure of Condition.

Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that (a) it would be extremely difficult to accurately determine the amount of damages suffered by Seller as a result of Purchaser’s default hereunder; (b) the Deposit is a fair and reasonable amount to be retained by Seller as agreed and liquidated damages for Purchaser’s default under this Agreement; and (c) retention by Seller of the Deposit upon Purchaser’s
default hereunder shall not constitute a penalty or a forfeiture.

             10.2          Seller Default.  If Seller shall breach the terms of, or default under this Agreement in violation of Seller’s obligations hereunder for any reason, Purchaser shall elect as its sole remedy hereunder either (a) to terminate the Agreement and recover the Deposit, or (b) the right to seek specific performance of Seller’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement.

11.       Miscellaneous.

             11.2          Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement or application to any party or circumstances shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid and unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such provision to such person or circumstances, other than those as to which it is so determined invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each provision hereof shall be valid and shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

             11.3          Applicable Law.  This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the law of the State of Florida.

             11.4          Assignability.  Purchaser may assign this Agreement, with prior notice to Seller, at least five (5) business days prior to the Date of Closing, but without Seller’s consent, to an affiliate of Purchaser or to an entity to be created by Purchaser to be the purchaser hereunder, of which Purchaser or an affiliate of Purchaser shall be a member, partner or owner.  Other than as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, Purchaser may not assign, directly or indirectly, this Agreement without first obtaining Seller’s written consent, which consent may be withheld in Seller’s sole discretion.  Any assignment in contravention of this provision shall be void.  No assignment shall release Purchaser herein named from any obligation or liability under this Agreement.  

28

             11.5          Successors Bound.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Purchaser and Seller and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

          11.7          Captions.  The captions in this Agreement are inserted only as a matter of convenience and for reference and in no way define, limit or describe the scope of this Agreement or the scope or content of any of its provisions.

          11.9          Time of Essence.  Time is of the essence in this Agreement.

          11.10          Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed and delivered in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.

          11.12          Proper Execution.  The submission by either party of this Agreement in an unsigned form shall be deemed to be a submission solely for the either party’s consideration and not for acceptance and execution.  Such submission shall have no binding force and effect, shall not constitute an option or an offer, and shall not confer any rights upon either party or impose any obligations upon either party irrespective of any reliance thereon, change of position or partial performance.  The submission by either party of this Agreement for execution by the other party and the actual execution thereof by the submitting party and delivery to the other party shall similarly have no binding force and effect on either party unless and until both parties shall have executed this Agreement and the Deposit shall have been received by
the Title Company and a counterpart hereof executed by Seller and Purchaser shall have been delivered to Purchaser.

          11.13          Waiver of Jury Trial.  Each of the undersigned hereby knowingly, voluntarily, and intentionally waives the right which any of the undersigned may have to a trial by jury with respect to any litigation between any of the parties hereto, including, but not limited to, with respect to any and all cause or causes of action, defenses, counterclaims, crossclaims, third party claims, and intervenor’s claims, whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether sounding in contract, tort, equity or otherwise, regardless of the cause or causes of action, defenses or counterclaims alleged or the relief sought by any party, so long as such causes of action, defenses or counterclaims are based on, or arise out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or its subject matter, out of any alleged conduct or course of conduct, dealing
or course of dealing, statements (whether verbal or written), or otherwise.  Any party hereto may file a copy of this Agreement with any court as conclusive evidence of the consent of the parties hereto to the waiver of any right they may have to trial by jury.

          11.15          Intentionally Omitted.  

          11.16          Liability of Seller.  It is hereby expressly agreed that any liability by Seller arising hereunder, for any reason whatsoever, shall be limited to Seller’s interests in and to the Property or the proceeds of the sale thereof, except as otherwise provided with respect to the indemnities set forth herein.  It is further hereby expressly agreed that in no event shall any shareholder, officer, director, employee, agent or representative of Seller have any personal liability in connection with this Agreement or the transaction envisioned herein.

          11.17          Waiver.  No waiver of any breach of any agreement or provision contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of any other agreement or provision herein contained.  No extension of time for the performance of any obligation or act shall be deemed an extension of time for the performance of any other obligation or act.

          11.18          Seller’s Performance.  The acceptance of the Deed and the Bill of Sale by Purchaser shall be deemed to be a full performance and discharge of every agreement and obligation of Seller herein contained and expressed, except such as are, by the express terms hereof to survive closing or to be performed by Seller after the delivery of said instruments.

          11.19          Bulk Sales Law.  Purchaser waives compliance by Seller with the provisions of any “bulk sales laws”.

          11.20          Construction.  The parties acknowledge that each party and its counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and that the rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments or Exhibits hereto.

          11.21          No Third Party Beneficiary.  The provisions of this Agreement are for the exclusive benefit of the Seller and Purchaser hereto and no other party shall have any right or claim against the Seller and Purchaser, or either of them, by reason of those provisions or be entitled to enforce any of those provisions against the Seller and Purchaser hereto, or either of them.

          11.22          Intentionally Omitted.

          11.23          Return of Documents and Reports.  If this Agreement terminates for any reason pursuant to the terms hereof, other than Seller default, Purchaser shall promptly return and/or deliver to Seller all Property Documents and copies thereof.  Additionally, if this Agreement terminates for any reason, other than Seller default, then Purchaser must deliver to Seller copies of all third party reports, investigations and studies (collectively, the “Purchaser Reports” and, individually, a “Purchaser Report”) prepared for Purchaser in connection with its due diligence review of the Property if permitted by the terms of such third party reports and the engagement letter therefor.  The Purchaser Reports shall be delivered to Seller without any representation or warranty as to the completeness or
accuracy of the Purchaser Reports or any other matter relating thereto, and Seller shall have no right to rely on any Purchaser Report without the written consent of the party preparing same.  Purchaser’s obligation to deliver the Property Documents and the Purchaser Reports to Seller shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

30

          11.24          Intentionally Omitted.

          11.25          Agency.  This Agreement is executed by Stone-Levy LLC (“Stone Levy”) acting solely as the duly authorized agent for the Teachers’ Retirement System of the State of Illinois, and all the terms, provisions, stipulations, covenants and conditions to be performed by Seller are undertaken solely as said duly authorized agent, and not individually, and all statements herein made by Seller except for its authority to act as agent are made on information and belief and are to be construed accordingly.  No personal liability shall be asserted or be enforceable against Stone Levy or any of its agents, employees or shareholders by reason of any of the terms, provisions, stipulations, covenants and/or statements contained in this instrument, except that Stone Levy represents that it is duly authorized to act for and on
behalf of Seller and, by its execution hereof, and of any documents executed in connection herewith, to bind Seller thereto.

          11.26          Agreement to Indemnify. Subject to any express provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, from and after the Closing, (i) Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and any partner, member, manager, officer, director, trustee, beneficiary, employee or agent of Purchaser (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnitees”) from and against any and all obligations, claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements) to the extent arising out of (A) transfer, sales or use, or similar taxes payable in connection with the transfer of the Property to Purchaser, and events or contractual obligations, acts, or omissions of Seller that occurred in connection with the ownership or operation of the Property prior to the Date of
Closing and for which Purchaser did not receive a credit at Closing in the full amount of such liability, (B) any damage to property or injury to or death of any person occurring on or about or in connection with the Property or any portion thereof at any time or times prior to the Date of Closing, or (C) subject to the limitations set forth herein, a breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller hereunder or in any certificate delivered by Seller hereunder, and (ii) Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and any partner, member, manager, officer, director, trustee, beneficiary, employee or agent of Seller (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) from and against any and all obligations, claims, losses, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements) to the extent arising out of (A) events, contractual obligations, acts or omissions of Purchaser for which Purchaser did receive a
credit at Closing in the full amount of such liability that occur in connection with the ownership or operation of the Property on or after the Date of Closing, or (B) any damage to property or injury to or death of any person occurring on or about the Property or any portion thereof on or at any time or times after the Date of Closing, or (C) subject to the limitations set forth herein, a breach of any representation or warranty made by Purchaser hereunder or in any certificate delivered by Purchaser hereunder.

          11.27          Indemnification Procedure for Third Party Claims. In the case of any claim asserted by a third party which claim is subject to indemnification by the either party hereunder, (a “Third-Party Claim”), the party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnitee”) shall notify the other party (the “Indemnitor”) promptly after has actual knowledge of any such Third-Party Claim as to which indemnity may be sought (provided that failure to so notify shall not affect the Indemnitor’s obligations hereunder except to the extent materially prejudiced by such failure), and Indemnitee shall permit the Indemnitor, at its sole expense, to assume the defense of any such Third-Party Claim, provided that Indemnitee may participate in such defense or administration at Indemnitee’s sole expense (provided, however, that if a
conflict of interest exists such that separate counsel must be engaged by Indemnitee and the Indemnitor, the Indemnitor shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and costs for such counsel for Indemnitee). The Indemnitor, in the defense of any such Third-Party Claim, shall not, except with the consent of Indemnitee, which Indemnitee agrees will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed with respect to a monetary settlement, judgment or relief, (a) consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that provides for injunctive or other non-Monetary relief against Indemnitee or (b) pursue any course of defense of any such Third-Party Claim subject to indemnification hereunder if Indemnitee shall reasonably and in good faith determine that the conduct of such defense could be expected to adversely affect in any material respect Indemnitee, its direct or indirect owners, the use of the Property or Interest to which the Third-Party Claim relates. In addition, if the Indemnitor
obtains and desires to accept from a party to any such Third-Party Claim an offer to settle the Third-Party Claim solely for an amount certain, then Indemnitee agrees that if requested by the Indemnitor, Indemnitee will, at its sole expense, assume defense of such Third-Party Claim and thereafter the Indemnitor’s obligation with respect to such Third-Party Claim shall not exceed the costs of defense then incurred and the dollar amount of the settlement the Indemnitor proposed to accept immediately prior to such assumption by Indemnitee, it being agreed between Indemnitee and the Indemnitor that Indemnitee will pay any greater amounts owing and bear any other impositions in excess of those contemplated in the proposed settlement arrangement. In the event that the Indemnitor does not accept the defense of any matter as above provided, Indemnitee shall have the full right to defend against any such Third-Party Claim or demand and shall be entitled to settle or agree to pay in full such Third-Party
Claim or demand, in its sole discretion. In any event, the Indemnitor and Indemnitee shall cooperate in the defense of any action or claim subject to this Agreement and each agrees to make its records available to the other with respect to such defense as reasonably requested and to the extent doing so does not compromise any claim of privilege or any other defense available to it. Acceptance of the defense of any Third-Party Claim or of the administration of any Third-Party Claim by the Indemnitor shall be without prejudice to the Indemnitor’s right to assert at any time before or after accepting such defense or administration that it is not obligated to provide an indemnity, either in whole or in part, with respect to such Third-Party Claim. In the event that the Indemnitor asserts that it is not obligated to provide an indemnity to Indemnitee with respect to a Third-Party Claim, Indemnitee shall have the right to defend such Third-Party Claim, and if the Indemnitor is adjudicated liable for
indemnifying Indemnitee, the Indemnitor shall reimburse Indemnitee for its out-of-pocket expenses in defending such Third-Party Claim and all settlements and judgments reasonably incurred as a result of such Third-Party Claim.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 11.27 or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, other than a representation or warranty pertaining to Seller’s or Stone Levy’s authority or to Seller’s title to the Property or to Section 5.3 hereof, in no event shall Seller’s liability under this Section 11.27 with respect to breaches of representations or warranties extend the survival period stated in Section 5.5 hereof or exceed the threshold amount stated in Section 5.6 hereof.  The other indemnities provided in Section 11.27 or in any certificate or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement and the representations and warranties pertaining to Seller’s or Stone-Levy’s authority and to Seller’s title to the
Property and to Section 5.3 shall not be limited by the survival period stated in Section 5.5 or the threshold amount stated in Section 5.6 hereof.

          11.28          Franchise Agreement with Marriott.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that the following are conditions to the closing of this transaction:  (i) the termination of the Seller’s franchise agreement with Marriott International Inc. (“Marriott”) in accordance with the terms of such agreement; and (ii) Purchaser and Marriott International Inc. entering into a new franchise agreement or management agreement for the Hotel.  Seller hereby agrees to pay the sums required to be paid to Marriott in connection with the termination of its franchise agreement with Marriott and Purchaser shall pay any sums required to be paid in connection with a new franchise agreement or management agreement with Marriott.  Seller and
Purchaser agree to use all commercially reasonable and diligent efforts to timely satisfy their respective condition described in the immediately preceding sentence.  If both of these conditions are not satisfied at least one (1) day prior to the Date of Closing, either party (unless such party is in default of its obligations under this Section 11.28) may terminate this Agreement by written notice thereof to the other party, upon which termination, the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further obligation under this Agreement other than those which expressly survive such termination.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Purchaser and Seller have executed this Hotel Purchase and Sale Agreement as of the date set forth above.
