ARTICLE II

PURCHASE AND SALE; INITIAL DEPOSIT; ADDITIONAL DEPOSIT;

PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE; STUDY PERIOD

     2.1 Purchase and Sale. Subject to Section 7.6, Section 7.9 and Section 8.7, Sellers agree to
sell and Purchaser agrees to purchase for the Purchase Price the Property together with Sellers’
right, title and interest in and to all Warranties and Guaranties, Leased Property Agreements,
Occupancy Agreements, Off-Site Facility Agreements and Operating Agreements, in accordance with and
subject to the other terms and conditions set forth herein.

     2.2 Payment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be paid to Sellers in the following
manner:

          (a) Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the
amount of the Deposit for the Property, with the Deposit being paid to Sellers at Closing. The
Purchase Price shall be increased or decreased, as applicable, by replacing the portion of the
Purchase Price payable for the Undeveloped Tracts as shown on Schedule 2.4(a) with an
amount equal to the product of the Total Gross Acreage of the Undeveloped Tracts as certified by
the Survey by $152,460.00.

          (b) Purchaser shall pay the balance of the Purchase Price, as adjusted in the manner specified
in Article VII and as set forth below, to Sellers (or other party designated by Sellers) at
Closing by making a wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to the account of Sellers
(or other party designated by Sellers). Such wire transfer shall be sent by

10

 

Purchaser to the Escrow Agent for the account of Sellers no later than 3:00 PM, San Antonio,
Texas time on the Closing Date.

          (c) Sellers and Purchaser shall cooperate with each other in good faith to arrive at a
mutually acceptable allocation of the Purchase Price among the Real Property and the Personal
Property (the “Allocation”). Sellers and Purchaser agree to (i) be bound by the
Allocation, (ii) act in accordance with the Allocation in the preparation of financial statements
and filing of all tax returns and in the course of any tax audit, tax review or tax litigation
relating thereto, and (iii) refrain from, and cause their Affiliates to refrain from, taking a
position inconsistent with the Allocation for all tax purposes. If, as of the Closing Sellers and
Purchaser have not been able to agree on the Allocation, then Sellers and Purchaser shall have the
right to allocate the Purchase Price in a manner as reasonably determined by each of them
independently.

     2.3 Initial Deposit; Additional Deposit. No later than the Effective Date, Purchaser shall
deliver to Escrow Agent (i) a wire transfer or check in the sum of One Thousand and No/100 Dollars
($1,000.00) payable to the order of Sellers representing the independent consideration for Sellers’
execution of this Agreement and agreement to provide Purchaser with the Study Period (which check
or the proceeds of which wire transfer shall thereafter be delivered by Escrow Agent to Sellers and
shall not be a part of the Deposit or be applicable to the Purchase Price) and (ii) a wire transfer
or cashier’s or certified check in the amount of the Initial Deposit. The Initial Deposit, the
Additional Deposit, when and if made, and all interest earned thereon are hereinafter collectively
referred to as the “Deposit”. The Initial Deposit shall be non-refundable to Purchaser except as
otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. If Purchaser fails to timely deposit the Initial
Deposit with Escrow Agent, Sellers shall be entitled, as Sellers’ sole and exclusive remedy, to
terminate this Agreement by written notice to Purchaser at any time before the Initial Deposit is
delivered to Escrow Agent, in which event neither party shall thereafter have any obligations
hereunder, including any obligation to deliver the Initial Deposit, except those which expressly
survive a termination of this Agreement. If Purchaser deposits the Initial Deposit with Escrow
Agent before Purchaser’s receipt of Sellers’ termination notice, Purchaser shall be deemed to have
timely deposited the Initial Deposit and Sellers shall not thereafter be entitled to terminate this
Agreement as a result of any delay in depositing the Initial Deposit. In the event that Purchaser
does not terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Study Period, then prior to the
expiration of the Study Period, time being of the essence, Purchaser shall deliver to Escrow Agent
a wire transfer or cashier’s or certified check in the sum of Five Million and No/100 Dollars
($5,000,000.00) (the “Additional Deposit”). The Deposit shall be invested by Escrow Agent
in a commercial bank or banks acceptable to Sellers and Purchaser at money market rates or in such
other investments as shall be approved in writing by Sellers and Purchaser. The Deposit shall be
held and disbursed by Escrow Agent in strict accordance with the terms and provisions of this
Agreement. All accrued interest or other earnings on the Deposit shall become part of the Deposit.
If Purchaser fails to timely deposit the Additional Deposit with Escrow Agent prior to the
expiration of the Study Period, such failure shall be automatically deemed to be Purchaser’s
election to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.4, in which event the Initial
Deposit shall be paid to Sellers (except in the event such termination is due to a Material
Environmental Condition or Material Structural Defects in which event the Initial Deposit will be
refunded to Purchaser) and Purchaser and Sellers shall be released from all further liability or
obligation hereunder except those which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement. The
Deposit shall be either (a) applied at the Closing against the

11

 

Purchase Price, (b) returned to Purchaser pursuant hereto, or (c) paid to Sellers pursuant hereto.
For purposes of reporting earned interest with respect to the Additional Deposit, Purchaser’s
Federal Tax Identification Number is 73-0664379, and Sellers’ Federal Tax Identification Number are
74-2424552 (La Cantera Development Co.) and 75-2706703 (LCWW).

     2.4 Study Period.

          (a) Purchaser and its respective agents, contractors, auditors, engineers, attorneys,
employees, consultants, other representatives and potential lessees, partners, and lenders
(collectively, “Purchaser Parties”) shall have the right, until 5:00 p.m., San Antonio,
Texas time on the last day of the Study Period, and thereafter if Purchaser does not notify Sellers
in writing prior to the expiration of the Study Period that Purchaser has elected to terminate this
Agreement and Purchaser timely deposits the Additional Deposit, to enter upon the Real Property
upon reasonable prior notice to Sellers (which notice, for the purposes of this Section
2.4(a) only, may be given by electronic mail to the following address: susan.swank@usaa.com and
robert.kramer@usaa.com), and to perform, at Purchaser’s expense, such economic, surveying,
engineering, topographic, environmental, marketing and other tests, studies and investigations as
Purchaser may deem appropriate. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Purchaser’s
Environmental Consultants reasonably recommends obtaining an additional study or investigation of
any Environmental Condition, the Study Period shall be extended for up to two (2) weeks to afford
Purchaser additional time to complete such investigations. If such tests, studies and
investigations warrant, in Purchaser’s sole, absolute and unreviewable discretion, the purchase of
the Property for the purposes contemplated by Purchaser, then Purchaser shall proceed with this
transaction in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, if,
prior to the expiration of the Study Period, Purchaser shall have determined that the Property is
unacceptable to Purchaser and Purchaser shall have provided written notice to Sellers and Escrow
Agent that it has determined in its sole, absolute and unreviewable discretion, to terminate this
Agreement (for any or no reason), this Agreement automatically shall terminate, the Initial Deposit
shall be paid to Sellers (except if such termination is as a result of a Material Environmental
Condition or Material Structural Defect(s)) and Purchaser and Sellers shall be released from all
further liability or obligation hereunder except those which expressly survive a termination of
this Agreement. If during the Study Period Purchaser determines that there exists on the Property a
Material Environmental Condition, Purchaser shall provide Sellers with reasonable evidence of such
condition, whereupon Purchaser may (x) if such condition affects one, but not both of the
Undeveloped Tracts, terminate this Agreement with respect to the affected tract in which event such
tract shall be excluded from this Agreement for all purposes, the Purchase Price shall be reduced
by the amount set forth opposite such affected tract on Schedule 2.4(a) attached hereto and
this Agreement shall otherwise continue unmodified or (y) if such condition affects both
Undeveloped Tracts or the Hotel, then Purchaser may terminate this Agreement, in either case by
delivering written notice to Sellers prior to expiration of the Study Period. If during the Study
Period Purchaser determines that Material Structural Defect(s) exist, Purchaser shall provide
Sellers with reasonable written evidence of the costs to remedy such defect(s) as estimated by
Purchaser’s Structural Consultants (the “Repair Estimate”), then Purchaser may terminate this
Agreement by delivering written notice to Sellers prior to expiration of the Study Period. Sellers
shall have the right to dispute the Repair Estimate (a “Repairs Costs Dispute”), then Sellers shall
have the right to notify Purchaser in writing of the same (a “Repairs Costs Dispute Notice”)

12

 

within ten (10) business days after Sellers’ receipt of the Repair Estimate, in which event
the termination of this Agreement shall be deferred and Sellers and Purchaser shall thereafter
proceed to diligently and in good faith attempt to resolve such dispute and, if the parties are
unable to resolve the same within seven (7) business days after Purchaser’s receipt of the
applicable Repairs Costs Dispute Notice, such dispute shall be submitted for resolution by binding
arbitration in accordance with the terms, conditions and provisions of Exhibit L-1 attached
to this Agreement; provided, however, instead of using architects as the arbitrator, three (3)
neutral general contractors shall be appointed in the same manner as set forth on Exhibit
L-1. If the agreed amount of the Repairs Estimate is less than $5,000,000.00 such termination
notice shall be deemed null and void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such partial or full
termination resulting from any Material Environmental Condition or Material Structural Defect(s)
shall be ineffective if within five (5) days following the giving of such notice of termination
Purchaser and Sellers agree on the terms of a Purchase Price reduction acceptable to Purchaser and
Sellers in connection with such Material Environmental Condition and/or Material Structural
Defect(s). If Purchaser terminates this Agreement during the Study Period as the result of the
discovery of a Material Environmental Condition or Material Structural Defect(s) the entire Deposit
shall be returned to Purchaser and the parties shall have no further obligations hereunder except
those that survive termination hereof. If Purchaser does not provide such written notice of
termination prior to the expiration of the Study Period and Purchaser timely deposits the
Additional Deposit in accordance with Section 2.3, Purchaser shall be deemed to have
determined that the Property is acceptable to Purchaser and the Initial Deposit and the Additional
Deposit shall become non-refundable except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. The
depositing of the Additional Deposit and the expiration of the Study Period (and Purchaser’s right
to terminate same) shall be tolled until such time as the Parties have agreed upon, or arbitration
has resolved, the amount of the Material Structural Defect(s). Purchaser Parties shall have no
discussions, correspondence, or other contact with any Hotel Employees, including, without
limitation, any Executive Employees unless approved by and coordinated in advance with Sellers.
Sellers agree to use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause Manager to permit Purchaser to
have reasonable opportunities to discuss the Hotel and its business and employment with the General
Manager, Controller, Director of Sales and Chief Engineer of the Hotel.

          (b) Sellers have either made available for review and inspection in its offices or have
delivered to Purchaser copies of the documents described on Schedule 2.4(b) attached hereto
to the extent in Sellers’ possession or control (collectively, the “Submission Matters”).

     Sellers shall also promptly deliver to Purchaser such other materials with respect to the
Property as Purchaser may reasonably request in writing between the Effective Date and Closing that
would be customarily given to a purchaser of a similar type of hotel property, to the extent the
same are in Sellers’ possession or control, are not subject to the attorney-client privilege and
can be delivered without breaching any obligations to a third party; provided, however, that
Sellers, to the extent permitted, shall identify generally any such materials that Purchaser
requested that Sellers cannot provide as a result of the attorney-client privilege or any
obligations to a third party. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Sellers shall have
no obligation to deliver any materials to Purchaser to the extent their delivery is prohibited
pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement.

13

 

     If Sellers fail to make available any of the Submission Matters as provided above or fail to
provide any of the items specified in Section 2.4(e) below as provided therein, Purchaser
shall give Sellers notice thereof so that Sellers shall have an opportunity to cure such failure by
providing such items. Sellers shall use good faith efforts to deliver all Submission Matters in
its possession or control to Purchaser.

          (c) If for any reason whatsoever Purchaser does not purchase the Property, Purchaser shall
promptly deliver to Sellers, (i) all copies of all the Submission Matters and any other materials
delivered to Purchaser or Purchaser Parties and (ii) all third-party reports prepared by or for
Purchaser or Purchaser Parties with respect to the Property; provided, however, that Purchaser
shall not be obligated to deliver to Sellers any materials of a proprietary nature (such as, for
the purposes of example only, any financial forecasts or market repositioning plans) prepared for
Purchaser or Purchaser Parties in connection with the Property or any materials subject to
attorney-client privilege, and Sellers acknowledge that any such materials delivered to Sellers
pursuant to the provisions of clause (ii) shall be without warranty or representation whatsoever
other than that such materials have been fully paid for and may be delivered to Sellers. The
provisions of this Section 2.4(c) shall survive termination of this Agreement.

          (d) Purchaser shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Manager and Sellers from and against
any loss, damage, liability or claim for personal injury or property damage and any other loss,
damage, liability, claim or lien to the extent arising from the acts at or upon the Real Property
by Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s Affiliates engaged in Purchaser’s inspection activities or any
agents, contractors or employees of any of them, but excluding (i) any such loss, damage or claim
if and to the extent caused by the negligence or reckless or willful misconduct of Sellers and/or
Manager or any of their respective agents, contractors, auditors, engineers, attorneys, employees,
consultants and other representatives that are not Purchaser or Purchaser Affiliates engaged in
Purchaser’s inspection activities, and (ii) any liability or obligation in connection with the
discovery of a pre-existing condition affecting the Property not occasioned by or through a
Purchaser or Purchaser Affiliates engaged in Purchaser’s inspection activities. Purchaser
understands and agrees that any on-site inspections of the Property shall occur at reasonable times
agreed upon by Sellers and Purchaser after reasonable prior written notice to Sellers and shall be
conducted so as not to interfere unreasonably with the operation of the Property and the use of the
Property by the tenants and the guests of the Hotel. Manager and/or Sellers shall have the right
to have a representative present during any such inspections. If Purchaser desires to do any
invasive testing at the Property, Purchaser shall do so only after notifying Sellers and obtaining
Sellers’ prior written consent thereto (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed). Purchaser shall not permit any liens to attach to the Property by reason
of such inspections. Purchaser shall (i) restore the Property, at its own expense, to
substantially the same condition which existed prior to any inspection or other activities of
Purchaser thereon; and (ii) be responsible for and pay any and all liens by contractors,
subcontractors, materialmen, or laborers performing the inspections or any other work for Purchaser
or Purchaser Affiliates engaged in Purchaser’s inspection activities on or related to the Property.
All contractors and others performing any tests and studies on the Property shall first present to
Sellers reasonably satisfactory evidence that such party is adequately insured in order to
reasonably protect Sellers and Manager from any loss, liability, or damage arising out of the
performance of such tests or studies. Purchaser shall not solicit for

14

 

employment any Hotel Employees except for employment at the Hotel in accordance with
Section 6.5 if the transaction is consummated. The provisions of this Section
2.4(d) shall survive any termination of this Agreement and a closing of the transaction
contemplated hereby.

          (e) Sellers shall deliver to Purchaser by December 5, 2007 or as soon thereafter as
practicable the Survey. Sellers shall within five (5) days following the Effective Date deliver to
Purchaser, a title insurance commitment dated no earlier than thirty (30) days prior to the
Effective Date and issued by the Title Company covering the Real Property, binding the Title
Company to issue the Owner’s Title Policy together with legible copies (to the extent such legible
copies are available) of all documents identified in such title insurance commitment as exceptions
to title (collectively, the “Title Commitment”), with respect to the state of title to the
Property. Not later than ten (10) days following receipt of both the Title Commitment and Survey,
Purchaser shall notify Sellers of any matters shown on such Survey or identified in the Title
Commitment that Purchaser is unwilling to accept (including any defect or failure of the Survey or
Title Commitment to comply with the requirements of this Section 2.4(e)) (collectively,
“Purchaser’s Objections”). If any of Purchaser’s Objections consist of Monetary Title
Encumbrances (but not including liens against the Property in the nature of those arising from
judgments or pending litigation or construction, mechanics or other liens or charges which are
being contested by Sellers in good faith, or liens which were not created or expressly assumed by
Sellers [“Non-Mandatory Monetary Title Encumbrances”] or rights of third party lessors
with respect to any Leased Property, all of which Sellers shall not have any obligation to satisfy
or remove, but which may be, at Purchaser’s election, included as part of Purchaser’s Objections),
then, to that extent, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Sellers shall be obligated
to either (i) pay and discharge, (ii) bond against in a manner legally sufficient to cause to be
released, or (iii) indemnify or escrow money with or otherwise cause the Title Company to insure
over in a manner reasonably acceptable to Purchaser (and with respect to a mortgagee/lender policy,
omit), such Monetary Title Encumbrances (individually and collectively, a “Monetary Encumbrance
Release”). For such purposes, Sellers may use all or a portion of the Purchase Price to
effectuate a Monetary Encumbrance Release with respect to any such Monetary Title Encumbrances at
the Closing. Other than (i) as specifically required in this Agreement, (ii) Monetary Title
Encumbrances, which are required to be covered by a Monetary Encumbrance Release at Closing as
provided above, and (iii) using commercially reasonable efforts to cure Non-Mandatory Monetary
Title Encumbrances (provided that Sellers shall be obligated to expend up to $250,000.00 in the
aggregate to cure such Non-Mandatory Monetary Title Encumbrances), Sellers shall not be obligated
to incur any expenses or incur any liability to cure any Purchaser’s Objections. Sellers may
notify Purchaser within five (5) days after receipt of notice of Purchaser’s Objections
(“Sellers’ Response Period”) whether Sellers, in their sole discretion, agree to attempt to
cure any of such Purchaser’s Objections (other than Sellers’ obligations with respect to the
Monetary Title Encumbrances and certain Non-Mandatory Monetary Title Encumbrances as set forth
above) (“Sellers’ Response”). If Sellers agree in Sellers’ Response to attempt to cure any
of such Purchaser’s Objections (that they are otherwise not obligated to cure as provided herein),
Sellers shall use good faith efforts to cure (without any obligation to expend any money or incur
any liability) such Purchaser’s Objections that Sellers have agreed to attempt to cure on or before
the Closing Date to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser. If Sellers are unable or unwilling
to cure such Purchaser’s Objections (that they are otherwise not obligated to cure as provided
herein) by the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, prior to Closing, elect (1) to waive such Purchaser’s
Objections without any abatement in the Purchase

15

 

Price, (2) to terminate this Agreement in which case the Additional Deposit, if paid, shall be
promptly returned to Purchaser, the Initial Deposit shall be paid to Sellers (except if such
unsatisfied Purchaser Objection is a Non-Mandatory Monetary Title Encumbrance or would have a
Material Adverse Effect, in which event Purchaser may (x) if such condition affects one, but not
both of the Undeveloped Tracts, terminate this Agreement with respect to the affected tract in
which event such tract shall be excluded from this Agreement for all purposes, the Purchase Price
shall be reduced by the amount set forth opposite such affected tract on Schedule 2.4(a)
attached hereto and this Agreement shall otherwise continue unmodified or (y) if such condition
affects both Undeveloped Tracts or the Hotel, then Purchaser may terminate this Agreement whereupon
the Additional Deposit, if paid, and one-half of the Initial Deposit shall be returned to
Purchaser, one-half of the Initial Deposit shall be paid to Sellers and the parties hereto shall be
released from all further obligations hereunder, except those which expressly survive a termination
of this Agreement) and the parties hereto shall be released from all further obligations hereunder,
except those which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement. If Sellers do not provide
Sellers’ Response to Purchaser within Sellers’ Response Period, Sellers shall be deemed to have
elected not to attempt to cure Purchaser’s Objections. If Sellers elect in Sellers’ Response not
to attempt to cure all or any number of Purchaser’s Objections or if Sellers are deemed to have
elected not to attempt to cure Purchaser’s Objections pursuant to the preceding sentence, within
five (5) days after the expiration of Sellers’ Response Period, Purchaser shall elect (1) to waive
any Purchaser’s Objections which Sellers have elected or is deemed to have elected not to attempt
to cure without any abatement in the Purchase Price, or (2) to terminate this Agreement in which
case the Additional Deposit, if paid, shall be promptly returned to Purchaser, Sellers shall be
paid the Initial Deposit (except if such unsatisfied Purchaser Objection is a Non-Mandatory
Monetary Title Encumbrance or would have a Material Adverse Effect, in which event Purchaser may
(x) if such condition affects one, but not both of the Undeveloped Tracts, terminate this Agreement
with respect to the affected tract in which event such tract shall be excluded from this Agreement
for all purposes, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount set forth opposite such
affected tract on Schedule 2.4(a) attached hereto and this Agreement shall otherwise
continue unmodified or (y) if such condition affects both Undeveloped Tracts or the Hotel, then
Purchaser may terminate this Agreement whereupon the Additional Deposit, if paid, and one-half of
the Initial Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, one-half of the Initial Deposit shall be paid
to Sellers and the parties hereto shall be released from all further obligations hereunder, except
those which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement) and the parties hereto shall be
released from all further obligations hereunder, except those which expressly survive a termination
of this Agreement. In the event Purchaser does not provide to Sellers notice of Purchaser’s
election under the preceding sentence within such five (5) day period, Purchaser shall be deemed to
have elected clause (2) of the preceding sentence. Except as otherwise provided herein, Sellers
shall not, after the date of this Agreement and prior to Closing, voluntarily subject the Real
Property to any liens, encumbrances, covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements or other title
matters or seek any zoning changes without Purchaser’s prior written consent, which consent shall
be subject to the Approval Standard (as hereafter defined). All title matters revealed by the
Title Commitment and Survey which are not objected to by Purchaser as provided above (other than
Monetary Title Encumbrances, which will be covered by a Monetary Encumbrance Release at Closing),
or which are waived or deemed waived by Purchaser as provided above, shall be deemed Permitted
Title Exceptions. Sellers shall cause the Property (with the exception of the Palmer Course [as

16

 

depicted on Exhibit A]), as well as Tracts F3B, D4, F4 and the tract northwest of D4 (all as depicted on
the pictorial on Exhibit A attached hereto), at or prior to Closing, to be made subject to
the Commercial Covenants and the Master Covenants and any La Cantera Design Guidelines promulgated
thereunder (and the same shall constitute Permitted Title Exceptions) pursuant to an annexation or
similar agreement (or amendment to the existing documents) to be recorded at Closing (an
“Annexation Agreement”). The parties shall negotiate, in good faith, prior to Closing the
terms and provisions of the Annexation Agreement, which shall provide for the following matters:
(i) the Declarant under the Commercial Covenants and the Master Covenants (the “Declarant”)
shall not unilaterally amend or modify any of the terms or conditions of the Commercial Covenants
and the Master Covenants (including any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) in any manner
that would be material and adverse to Purchaser’s (and its successors’ and assigns’) rights with
respect to the Property, (ii) subject to the Declaration, any Timeshare Development and/or

expiration of the Study Period, and (ii) shall be in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion after
the expiration of the Study Period, and shall be deemed given if, within (1) five (5) business days
following Purchaser’s receipt of Sellers’ request if such request relates to the Hotel operations,
or (2) ten (10) business days following Purchaser’s receipt of Sellers’ request if such request
relates to the undeveloped Land, Purchaser fails to provide Sellers with (A) prior to the
expiration of the Study Period, a reasonably detailed written description of the reason Purchaser
withholds its consent and a statement of those changes, which, if made, would cause Purchaser to
grant its consent, and (B) after the expiration of the Study Period, a written notice either
granting its consent or objecting to such matter for which such consent was requested (clause (i)
and (ii), as and when applicable, the “Approval Standard”). Sellers shall not enter into
any union contract or other collective bargaining agreement without Purchaser’s consent, which may
be granted or withheld in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion. Sellers shall make all
commercially reasonable efforts to assist Purchaser in obtaining any required consents to the
assignment to Purchaser of the

27

 

Operating Agreements, Leased Property Agreements and Off-Site Facility Agreements; provided,
however, Purchaser shall pay all fees, charges and expenses relating to such consents. Sellers may
cancel any Operating Agreement, Occupancy Agreement, Leased Property Agreement, or Off-Site
Facility Agreement at any time prior to the Closing with the prior written consent of Purchaser,
which consent shall be subject to the Approval Standard so long as the termination would not have
an adverse affect on the profitability of the Property, except that Sellers shall have the right to
cancel, without Purchaser’s prior written consent, any contract entered into between Sellers and/or
Manager, on behalf of the Property, and any Affiliate of either Seller; provided, however, if
Sellers elect to cancel any such agreement, Sellers shall pay any termination fee associated with
such termination, and shall give Purchaser notice of such termination. Sellers further agree that
if requested by Purchaser, Sellers will cancel any such agreement at Closing so long as (i) such
agreement may be cancelled by Sellers at Closing without being in breach thereof and (ii) Purchaser
pays at Closing any termination fee, costs or penalties associated with such termination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sellers shall be responsible to pay any termination fee or other
costs incurred by Purchaser to the other party under any Operating Agreement, Occupancy Agreement,
Leased Property Agreement or Off-Site Facility Agreement with any Person that is not an Affiliate
or Manager which by its express terms survives Closing and prohibits an assignment of such
agreement by Sellers if the other party thereto refuses to perform such agreement for the benefit
of Purchaser following Closing despite good faith reasonable efforts by Purchaser to accommodate
such party and Purchaser gives Sellers written notice of such facts within ninety (90) days
following Closing. Sellers, at no cost or expense to Purchaser (except as provided in Section
7.5) shall terminate, effective as of Closing, all contracts and/or agreements whereby Managers
and/or its Affiliates are providing goods or services to the Property. The provisions of this
Section 6.1 shall survive Closing.

     6.2 Warranties and Guaranties. Sellers shall not before or after Closing knowingly release or
modify any Warranties and Guaranties, if any, except with the prior written consent of Purchaser,
which consent shall be subject to the Approval Standard.

     6.3 Insurance. Sellers shall pay all premiums on, and shall not cancel or voluntarily allow to
expire, any of Sellers’ Insurance Policies unless such policy is replaced, without any lapse of
coverage, by another policy or policies providing coverage at least as extensive as the policy or
policies being replaced.

     6.4 Operation of Property Prior to Closing. Sellers covenant and agree with Purchaser that, to
the extent it is legally entitled to do so, between the date of this Agreement and the date of
Closing:

          (a) Subject to the restrictions contained herein, as well as events or conditions beyond
Sellers’ reasonable control, Sellers shall operate and maintain the Property in substantially the
same manner in which it operated and maintained the Property prior to the execution of this
Agreement, and consistent with the Management Agreement; provided, however, nothing in this
Agreement shall be construed to require Sellers to construct capital improvements to the Property.
Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Manager to comply with the terms of the
Management Agreement. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Manager or its
liquor subsidiary, as applicable, to enter into with Purchaser (i) a Transition Services Agreement,
in substantially the form of Exhibit O

28

 

attached hereto and (ii) an interim beverage agreement on reasonably and customary terms so
that alcoholic beverage service at the Property is uninterrupted until such time as Purchaser
receives its liquor license for the Property.

          (b) Sellers shall maintain their books of account and records in the usual, regular and
ordinary manner, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and applied on a basis
consistent with that used in keeping its books in prior years.

          (c) Sellers shall pay (subject to legal rights of appeal and protest) prior to delinquency all
taxes referenced in Section 3.18 hereof.

          (d) Sellers shall not to enter into any new employment agreements with any Executive Employees
that would be binding on Purchaser with respect to the Property without the express written consent
of a Purchaser Party, which consent shall be subject to the Approval Standard.

          (e) Sellers shall promptly advise Purchaser of (i) any litigation, arbitration or
administrative hearing concerning the Property of which Sellers obtain actual knowledge, and (ii)
any violation (or alleged violation) of Applicable Law of which Sellers obtain actual knowledge.

          (f) Sellers shall refrain from removing or causing or permitting to be removed any part or
portion of the Real Property or the Tangible Personal Property owned by Sellers and situated within
the Improvements other than in the normal course of business without the prior written consent of
Purchaser, which consent shall be subject to the Approval Standard, unless the same is no longer
needed or useful or the same is replaced, prior to Closing, with similar items of at least equal
suitability, quality and value, free and clear of any liens or security interests.

     6.5 Exclusivity. So long as this Agreement remains in effect, between the date of this
Agreement and the date of Closing, Sellers shall not, and Sellers shall cause the officers,
employees, agents, representatives or any other Person acting at the direction of Seller to not,
directly or indirectly, solicit, pursue, negotiate or accept any offers for the Property or any
portion thereof or interest therein, except as permitted by Section 6.4(f).

     6.6 Termination of Hotel Employees; WARN Act On the Management Termination Date, the employment
at the Hotel of all Hotel Employees shall be terminated. (For purposes of WARN Act liability, the
Management Termination Date is considered to be the “effective date of sale”). With respect to
such terminations, Purchaser shall extend or cause to be extended offers of employment to enough
active Hotel Employees (but excluding Executive Employees unless permitted by Manager) on terms and
conditions adequate, so as to prevent the application of the Worker Adjustment and Retraining
Notification Act (“WARN Act”). The provisions of this Section 6.6 shall survive
the Closing.

     6.7 Employee Claims. Sellers shall hold harmless, indemnify and defend or cause to be
indemnified and defended Purchaser and its 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 with respect to claims, causes
of action, judgments, damages, penalties and liabilities asserted by Hotel

29

 

Employees to the extent arising out of or related to any act, failure to act, any transaction or
any facts or circumstances (i) occurring prior to the Closing Date or (ii) undertaken or caused by
Sellers in connection with Hotel Employees at Closing, including, without limitation: (A) the
termination of such Hotel Employees and/or the failure of Purchaser to hire such Hotel Employees
(subject to Section 6.6), including any severance payments with respect thereto; (B) the
failure of Sellers or Manager to comply with the provisions of any collective bargaining agreement;
(C) any alleged discrimination, breach of contract or other wrongful termination; and any claim
arising under the Family and Medical Leave Act or other state leave of absence statute made by
someone on a statutorily approved leave of absence at the time of Closing arising out of acts,
omissions or events occurring prior to the Closing Date; (D) any alleged right to workers’
compensation benefits, unemployment compensation or statutory or contractual severance, including
claims for any withdrawal liability or unfunded liability incurred because of participation in any
pension plan covered by the Multiemployer Pension Plan Amendments Act of 1980 or other
multiemployer pension plan or similar fund. Purchaser shall hold harmless, indemnify and defend
Sellers and 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 Sellers or Manager or any Affiliate thereof with
respect to claims, causes of action, judgments, damages, penalties and liabilities asserted by
Hotel Employees hired by Purchaser at Closing to the extent arising out of or related to any act,
failure to act, any transaction or any facts or circumstances (i) occurring on or after the Closing
Date, or (ii) undertaken or caused by Purchaser in connection with Hotel Employees at or following
Closing, including, without limitation (A) the termination of such Hotel Employees by Purchaser
after Closing; (B) any and all liability under the WARN Act, including, without limitation, any and
all liability caused by the failure of Purchaser to rehire a sufficient number of Hotel Employees
or the termination of such employees, as provided in Section 6.6; (C) any claim arising

statutorily approved leave of absence at the time of Closing arising out of acts, omissions or
events occurring on or after the Closing Date; (D) any alleged discrimination, breach of contract
or other wrongful termination (under federal statutes, state statutes or common law) arising out of
acts, omissions or events occurring on or after the Closing Date; (E) any alleged right to workers’
compensation benefits, unemployment compensation or statutory or contractual severance, including
claims for any withdrawal liability or unfunded liability incurred because of participation in any
pension plan covered by the Multiemployer Pension Plan Amendments Act of 1980 or other
multiemployer pension plan or similar fund arising out of acts, omissions or events occurring on or
after the Closing Date; and (F) 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 that are earned but unpaid as of the Closing Date and which are

assumed by Purchaser as provided in Section 7.6 hereof. With respect to Hotel Employees
hired by Purchaser, Sellers and/or Manager will be liable for any claims under Sellers’ and/or
Manager’s Employee Benefit Plans made or incurred by su
ch Hotel Employees and their beneficiaries
through the day prior to Closing Date under the Employee Benefit Plans, and Purchaser will be
liable for any such claims made or incurred after the Closing under any applicable employee benefit
plans of Purchaser. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, a charge will be deemed

          (j) Purchaser shall receive a credit for 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 that are earned but unpaid as of the Closing Date (except
that Sellers shall only be obligated to pay one-half of any bonus or incentive compensation payable
in connection with the transfer of the Hotel), and any personal time off (i.e., vacation days)
earned or accrued by the Hotel Employees as of the Closing Date, together with all employment taxes
with respect thereto, including, without limitation, any withholding and employer contributions
required under any Applicable Law (excluding sick leave earned or accrued by the Hotel Employees as
of the Closing Date, which shall be the responsibility of Purchaser without a corresponding credit
on the closing statement).

          (k) Such other items as are usually and customarily prorated between purchasers and sellers of
hotel and golf properties in the area where the Property is located.

     Sellers shall receive a credit for any prepaid expenses for which Purchaser is assuming the
underlying obligation accruing to periods on or after the Closing Date and utility and other
deposits relating to the Property that are assigned to Purchaser. Purchaser shall receive a credit
against the Purchase Price for the total of (i) prepaid rents, (ii) prepaid room receipts and
deposits, function receipts and deposits and other reservation receipts and deposits, and (iii)
unforfeited security deposits together with any interest payable to a tenant thereon held by
Sellers under Occupancy Agreements. At Closing, Sellers shall sell to Purchaser in connection with
the Hotel, and Purchaser shall purchase from Sellers, at face value, in addition to the Purchase
Price: (i) all petty cash funds in connection with the Hotel guest operations at the Property; and
(ii) the so-called “guest ledger” as mutually approved by Purchaser and Sellers for the Hotel of
guest accounts receivable payable to the Hotel as of the check out time for the Hotel on the
Closing Date (based on guests and customers then using the Hotel) both (1) in occupancy from the
preceding night through check out time the morning of the Closing Date, and (2) previously in
occupancy prior to check out time on the Closing Date. For purposes of this Agreement, transfer or
sale at face value shall have the following meanings: (i) for petty cash, an amount equal to the
total of all petty cash funds on hand and transferred to Purchaser; and (ii) for the guest ledger,
the total of all credit card accounts receivable as shown on the records of the Hotel, less actual
collection costs (i.e., fees retained by credit card companies), less accounting charges for rooms
furnished on a gratuity or complimentary basis to any hotel staff or

38

 

as an accommodation to other parties and less Purchaser’s one-half (1/2) share of the Rooms Ledger
for the date of Closing per Section 7.6(h). The purchase price of said petty cash fund and
guest ledger shall be paid to Sellers at Closing by a credit to Sellers in the computation of the
adjustments and prorations on the Closing Date. Other than petty cash, there shall be no transfer
of working capital or other funds held by Sellers or Manager at Closing.

     Sellers or Manager on behalf of Sellers shall be required to pay or cause to be paid all
retail sales (as distinguished from any tax on the sale of any personal property effected pursuant
to this Agreement), occupancy and liquor taxes and like impositions up to and accruing prior to the
Closing Date but not including the date of Closing. Any such taxes applicable to the Rooms Ledger
shall be apportioned equally between Sellers and Purchaser.

     If accurate allocations cannot be made at Closing because current bills are not obtainable
(as, for example, in the case of utility bills and/or real estate or personal property taxes), the
parties shall allocate such revenue or expenses at Closing on the best available information,
subject to adjustment upon receipt of the final bill or other evidence of the applicable revenue or
expense. The obligation to make the adjustment shall survive the closing of the transaction
contemplated by this Agreement for a period of ninety (90) days unless the final bill or other
evidence of the applicable revenue or expense is not available within ninety (90) days, in which
case such obligations to adjust shall survive for such period of time for the parties to receive
such bill or other evidence and make payment to each other based on the same. Any revenue received
or expense incurred by Sellers or by Purchaser with respect to the Property after the date of
Closing shall be promptly allocated in the manner described herein and the parties shall promptly
pay or reimburse any amount due. If Sellers and Purchaser are unable to agree on any prorated
items required to be contained in the closing statement on the Closing Date, the Closing shall
occur and a preliminary closing statement shall be signed with respect to such amounts and issues
that are agreed upon by Sellers and Purchaser. With respect to any closing statement amounts or
issues that are not agreed upon at Closing, such disputed sums shall be placed into escrow with
Escrow Agent and Sellers and Purchaser shall thereafter work in good faith to resolve, allocate or
prorate such amounts or issues on a cash basis; provided that if such amounts or issues are not
fully agreed upon and paid within ten (10) business days after the Closing, then, in such event,
such amounts or issues shall be submitted to Deloitte & Touche or another independent certified
public accountant with a hospitality practice reasonably acceptable to Sellers and Purchaser, for
final resolution, and Sellers and Purchaser agree to be bound by the determination of such
accountant. The costs and expenses incurred in connection with the services of such accountant
shall be borne and paid equally by Purchaser and Sellers. Sellers or their representatives shall
have the right to institute tax reduction or other proceedings to reduce the assessed valuation of
the Property with respect to the period ending at the end of the fiscal year prior to the year in
which the Closing occurs provided that Sellers shall not enter into any settlement that would bind
the Property to having a higher assessed value after the Closing than would have been the case had
such settlement not occurred. If Purchaser, at any time following the Closing, institutes tax
reduction or other proceedings to reduce the assessed valuation of the Property with respect to the
period ending at the end of the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs, then Purchaser agrees to
coordinate such proceedings with Sellers and seek Sellers’ input so as to maximize the benefits to
both Sellers and Purchaser pursuant thereto. If any refund of any real property tax, water rates
and charges, sewer taxes and rents or similar items is issued after the Closing Date for any period
that includes the period prior to the Closing Date, then such

39

 

refund shall be applied as follows: first, to the cost incurred in obtaining such refund,
second, to any amount required to be refunded to any tenants under any Occupancy Agreements in
accordance with the terms of such Occupancy Agreements, to the extent applicable, and third, the
balance of such refund, if any, shall be apportioned between Sellers and Purchaser as of the
Closing Date. The provisions of this Section 7.6 shall survive the Closing for a period of
ninety (90) days, or such longer period as is reasonably necessary for the parties to comply with
the obligations set forth in this Section 7.6 (e.g., reproration of taxes upon receipt of
final tax bill).

     7.7 Safe Deposit Boxes. On the Closing Date, Sellers shall cause Manager to make available to
Purchaser at the Hotel all receipts and agreements in Manager’s possession relating to all safe
deposit boxes in use at the Hotel, other than safes or lockboxes, if any, located inside individual
guest rooms in the Hotel. From and after the Closing, Sellers and Manager shall be relieved of any
and all responsibility in connection with each said box, and Purchaser shall indemnify Sellers,
Manager and any Affiliate thereof and hold them harmless from and against any claim, liability,
cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by them with respect thereto.
Sellers shall hold Purchaser harmless from any other liability, claim, cost or expense (including
reasonable attorney’s fees) with respect to such safety deposit box arising out of acts, omissions
or occurrences occurring prior to the Closing Date. The provisions of this Section 7.7
shall survive the Closing.

     7.8 Inventory of Baggage. The representatives of Sellers and/or Manager, and of Purchaser
shall prepare an inventory of baggage at the Hotel as of 12:00 noon on the Closing Date (which
inventory of baggage shall be binding on all parties thereto) of (i) all luggage, valises and
trunks checked or left in the care of the Hotel by guests then or formerly in the Hotel, (ii)
parcels, laundry, valet packages and other property of guests checked or left in the care of the
Hotel by guests then or formerly in the Hotel (excluding, however, property in Hotel safe deposit
boxes), (iii) all luggage or other property of guests retained by Sellers or Manager as security
for any unpaid accounts receivable, and (iv) all items contained in the Hotel lost and found.
Purchaser shall be responsible from and after the Closing Date for all baggage and other items
listed in such inventory of baggage, and Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Sellers and any
Affiliate thereof harmless from and against any claim, liability, cost or expense (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by them with respect thereto. Sellers hereby agrees to hold
Purchaser harmless from any other liability or claims with respect to such inventory of baggage
arising out of acts, omissions or occurrences occurring prior to the Closing Date. The provisions
of this Section 7.8 shall survive the Closing.

     7.9 Acquisition and Payment for Inventory. Sellers agree to sell to Purchaser and Purchaser
agrees to purchase from Sellers, at cost, all unopened food and beverage and all retail merchandise
held for sale on the Hotel and the Golf Course, for a price equal to the cost of such Inventory.
The cost of such Inventory is not included in the Purchase Price. In connection with Closing,
Purchaser and Sellers shall conduct an inspection of such Inventory to verify the amount of such
Inventory. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Manager shall have the right pursuant to the Management
Agreement to acquire from Sellers all Inventory bearing the identification of Westin. In no event
shall Purchaser be required to purchase Inventory bearing the identification of Westin and/or
Inventory not being conveyed to Purchaser pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement.

40

 

     7.10 Assumption. At Closing, Purchaser shall assume all (i) obligations that Purchaser
expressly assumes under this Agreement and/or the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, (ii) Advance
Bookings, (iii) liabilities for which Purchaser receives a credit to the Purchase Price on the
closing statement or pursuant to any post-closing adjustments, and (iv) obligations under Permitted
Title Exceptions that accrue to the period from and after the Closing Date, or that accrue to the
period prior to the Closing Date and for which Purchaser receives a credit to the Purchase Price on
the closing statement or pursuant to any post-closing adjustments. Except for the foregoing
assumed liabilities and expenses prorated pursuant to Section 7.6 hereof and any liabilities and
expenses caused by Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser acting on behalf of Purchaser in
connection with Purchaser’s inspection activity for which Purchaser shall be liable, Sellers’ shall
not be released from liability to any unrelated third party, other than Purchaser, as provided in
Section 3.28, accruing prior to the Closing Date with respect to the ownership, use and
operation of the Property, including the Hotel including any pre-Closing tax liabilities. The
provisions of this Section 7.10 shall survive the Closing.

ARTICLE VIII

GENERAL PROVISIONS

     8.1 Fire or Other Casualty. Sellers agree to give Purchaser prompt notice of any fire or other
casualty to the Property that occurs between the Effective Date and the Closing Date and which
costs more than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) to repair. If, prior to Closing, the
Property is damaged by fire or other casualty and (i) less than fifteen percent (15%) of the Hotel
Improvements (including the Improvements and the grass located on the golf courses included in the
Property) are damaged or destroyed, and (ii) the damage would cost not more than two percent (2%)
of the Purchase Price to repair (including the lost profit of the business for the estimated repair
period), then neither party shall have the right to terminate its obligations under this Agreement
to purchase or sell the Property by reason thereof and the Closing shall take place without
abatement of the Purchase Price; but, if the Property is insured, Sellers shall assign to
Purchaser at the Closing all of Sellers’ interest in any insurance proceeds (except 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 Sellers on account of any such fire
or other casualty or, if the Property is uninsured, then Sellers shall pay to Purchaser at Closing
an amount equal to the cost of repairing the damage, to the extent such proceeds or sums have not
been previously expended or are otherwise required to reimburse Sellers for actual expenditures of
restoration, plus Sellers shall credit the amount of any deductibles under any policies related to
such insurance proceeds against the Purchase Price. If any such damage due to fire or other
casualty affects more than fifteen percent (15%) of the Improvements or would cost in excess of two
percent (2%) of the Purchase Price to repair (including the lost profit of the business for the
estimated repair period), either Purchaser or, if such loss is uninsured, excluding Sellers’
deductibles, in an amount in excess of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00), Sellers may terminate
its obligations under this Agreement by written notice given to the other party within ten (10)
days after Sellers have given Purchaser the notice of damage or casualty referred to in this
Section 8.1, or on the Closing Date, whichever is earlier, in which case the Additional
Deposit, if paid, and one-half of the Initial Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser,
Sellers shall be paid one-half of the Initial Deposit (unless Sellers terminate this Agreement in
connection with an uninsured casualty, in which event the entire Initial Deposit shall be refunded
to Purchaser) and the parties hereto shall be released of all

41

 

further obligations hereunder with respect to the Property except those which expressly survive a
termination of this Agreement. Should Purchaser and Sellers elect to proceed to Closing
notwithstanding the amount of the loss, the Closing shall take place without abatement of the
Purchase Price and at Closing, Sellers shall assign to Purchaser all of Sellers’ interest in any
insurance proceeds to the extent the loss was insured (except 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 Sellers on account of any such fire or other casualty to the
extent such proceeds or sums have not been previously expended or are otherwise not required to
reimburse Sellers for actual expenditures of restoration plus Sellers shall credit the amount of
any deductibles under any policies related to such insurance proceeds against the Purchase Price
(except to the extent such sums have been previously expended on the restoration), or, to the
extent the loss was not insured, Sellers shall grant to Purchaser a credit against the Purchase
Price equal to the amount required to complete such repairs or restoration. Sellers shall
cooperate and use their reasonable best efforts to cause insurers to pay claims as expeditiously as
possible.

     8.2 Condemnation. After the Effective Date, Sellers agree to give Purchaser prompt notice of
any notice it receives of any taking (or threat of taking) by condemnation of any part of or rights
appurtenant to the Real Property. If such taking affects (or will affect) more than fifteen
percent (15%) of the Land or will materially interfere with the operation or use of the Hotel which
constitutes a part of such Real Property, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by written notice
to Sellers within ten (10) days after Sellers have given Purchaser the notice of taking referred to
in this Section 8.2, or on the Closing Date, whichever is earlier. For purposes of this
Section 8.2, a taking will materially interfere with the operation or use of the Hotel if
it leaves remaining a balance of the Real Property in a condition that may not reasonably be
anticipated to be economically operated for the purposes and in the manner in which the Real
Property was operated prior to such taking comparable to the operations that are existing as of the
Effective Date. If Purchaser exercises its option to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this
Section 8.2, the Additional Deposit and one-half of the Initial Deposit shall be promptly
returned to Purchaser, Sellers shall be paid one-half of the Initial Deposit and the parties hereto
shall be released from all further obligations hereunder with respect to the Property, except those
which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement. If Purchaser does not so elect to
terminate this Agreement, then the Closing shall take place as provided herein, and Sellers shall
assign to Purchaser at the Closing all of Sellers’ interest in any condemnation award that may be
payable to Sellers on account of any such condemnation and, at Closing, Sellers shall credit to the
amount of the Purchase Price payable by Purchaser the amount, if any, of condemnation proceeds
received by Sellers between the Effective Date and Closing less (i) any amounts reasonably expended
by Sellers or Manager in collecting such sums, (ii) any amounts reasonably used by Sellers or
Manager to repair the Property as a result of such condemnation, and (iii) any amounts that are
reasonably allocated to lost earnings or other damages or losses (other than unrepaired property
damages) reasonably allocated or attributed to the period of time prior to Closing. If, prior to
the Closing, there shall occur a taking by condemnation of any part of or rights appurtenant to the
Property that does not affect more than fifteen percent (15%) of the Land or does not materially
interfere with the operation or use of the Hotel, Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate
this Agreement by reason thereof and the Closing shall take place without abatement of the Purchase
Price, but Sellers shall assign to Purchaser at the Closing all of Sellers’ interest in any
condemnation award which may be payable to Sellers on account of

42

 

any such condemnation and, at Closing, Sellers shall credit to the amount of the Purchase Price
payable by Purchaser the amount, if any, of condemnation proceeds received by Sellers between the
Effective Date and Closing less (i) any amounts reasonably expended by Sellers or Manager in
collecting such sums, (ii) any amounts reasonably used by Sellers or Manager to repair the Property
as a result of such condemnation, and (iii) any amounts which are reasonably allocated to lost
earnings or other damages or losses (other than unrepaired property damages) reasonably allocated
or attributed to the period of time prior to Closing. Provided Purchaser has not exercised its
right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.2, Sellers shall notify
Purchaser in advance regarding any proceeding or negotiation with respect to the condemnation and
Purchaser shall have a reasonable right, at its own cost and expense, to appear and participate in
any such proceeding or negotiation. For purposes of Sections 8.1 and 8.2 of this
Agreement, estimates of costs and time required for restoration or repair shall be made by an
architect or engineer, as appropriate, designated by Sellers and reasonably acceptable to
Purchaser.

     8.3 Broker. Purchaser warrants and represents to Sellers that Purchaser has not dealt with any
real estate broker in connection with this transaction, nor has Purchaser been introduced to the
Property or to Sellers by any real estate broker, and Purchaser shall indemnify Sellers and hold
Sellers harmless from and against any claims, suits, demands or liabilities of any kind or nature
whatsoever arising on account of the claim of any other person, firm or corporation to a real
estate brokerage commission or a finder’s fee as a result of having dealt with Purchaser, or as a
result of having introduced Purchaser to Sellers or to the Property. In like manner, Sellers
warrants and represents to Purchaser that, other than Jowell W. Thome (“Sellers’ Broker”) Sellers
have not dealt with any real estate broker in connection with this transaction, nor have Sellers
been introduced to Purchaser by any other real estate broker, and Sellers shall indemnify Purchaser
and save and hold Purchaser harmless from and against any claims, suits, demands or liabilities of
any kind or nature whatsoever arising on account of the claim of any person, firm or corporation to
a real estate brokerage commission or a finder’s fee as a result of having dealt with Sellers in
connection with this transaction, other than Sellers’ Broker. If this transaction closes, Sellers
shall pay the commission owed to Sellers’ Broker in accordance with the terms of a separate written
agreement with Sellers’ Broker. The provisions of this Section 8.3 shall survive the
Closing and any termination of this Agreement.

     8.4 Tax Clearance Certificates. Sellers and Purchaser acknowledge that they do not intend to
obtain any sale and occupancy or similar tax clearance certificates shall be obtained in connection
with the Closing, and Sellers shall indemnify Purchaser for any such taxes attributable to the
period prior to Closing. The provisions of this Section 8.4 shall survive Closing.

     8.5 Confidentiality. Except as hereinafter provided, Purchaser and Sellers and their
Affiliates shall keep the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement and all documents or
information disclosed to or made available to or discovered by each party in connection with this
Agreement (including, without limitation, the Submission Matters) confidential and such information
shall be used solely for the purpose of evaluating or effecting the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, and, except as otherwise provided herein, neither Purchaser nor Sellers shall
disclose unless and until the Closing occurs the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement
or such other documents or information, except to persons who, in the reasonable

43

 

business judgment of Sellers or Purchaser, as applicable, “need to know” for the purpose of
evaluating or effecting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement such as without limitation,
city officials involved in Purchaser’s proposed development of the Property and any expansions
thereof, 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 lessees and bankers and such other third parties whose
assistance is required in connection with the consummation of this transaction and Purchaser’s
proposed expansion and development of the Property (collectively, “Representatives”);
provided, however, that information or documents shall not be subject to the provisions of this
Section 8.5 if, not otherwise in violation of this Section 8.5, such information or
documents, (i) were or become(s) generally available to the public, (ii) were or become(s)
available to Purchaser or its Affiliates or their Representatives on a non-confidential basis from
a source other than Sellers or their Affiliates or Manager, or (iii) were or are developed by
Purchaser or its Affiliates or their Representatives without using or relying on any information or
documents otherwise covered by the provisions of this Section 8.5. As of the Effective
Date, the parties may either make a joint press release, or each party may make an individual press
release that is mutually and reasonably agreed to by the other party; provided, that if the parties
fail to agree on the contents of a joint press release or separate press releases, each party may
nevertheless make its own individual press release, provided the other party shall be given a
reasonable opportunity to make, on the date of such individual press release, its own individual
press release, and copies of each such individual press release shall be delivered to the other
party prior to being made. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it is acknowledged
that Sellers and Purchaser are, or are Affiliates of, respectively, regulated companies;
consequently, each of Sellers and Purchaser shall have the absolute and unbridled right to disclose
any information regarding the transaction contemplated by this Agreement required by Applicable
Laws or as determined to be necessary or appropriate by them or their respective attorneys to
satisfy disclosure and reporting obligations. Furthermore, Sellers or Purchaser may disclose any
information related to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement to a Person (the
“Acquisition Target”) that Sellers or Purchaser or their respective Affiliate intends to
acquire or be acquired by via merger, takeover, or otherwise. The dissemination of information
shall, however, be contingent upon the execution of a confidentiality agreement by and between
Sellers or Purchaser (or their respective Affiliates) and the Acquisition Target. The terms of
this Section 8.5 shall supersede any prior confidentiality agreements executed by Sellers,
Purchaser, or any of their respective Affiliates, parents, or subsidiaries, to the extent such
confidentiality agreements relate or refer, directly or indirectly, to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 8.5 relating to press
releases shall not survive the Closing and all the provisions of this Section 8.5 shall
survive a termination of this Agreement for a period of two (2) years after such termination;
provided, however, that any liabilities or obligations of either Sellers, Purchaser or any of their
respective Affiliates, parents, or subsidiaries that may have accrued or arisen under any
confidentiality agreements prior to the Effective Date shall survive such confidentiality
agreements being superceded hereby.

     If either Sellers or Purchaser or any of their Affiliates or any of their Representatives is
required by any subpoena, interrogatories, request for production, or other legal process or by any
Applicable Laws to disclose any confidential information, Sellers or Purchaser, as applicable, will
give the other party prompt written notice of the requirement and will cooperate with the other
party so that the other party, at its expense, may seek an appropriate protective

44

 

order. In the absence of a protective order, the party required to disclose, including any
Representatives, may disclose only such confidential information as may be necessary to avoid any
penalty, sanction, or other material adverse consequence, and the party required to disclose will
use reasonable efforts to secure confidential treatment of any confidential information so
disclosed.

     Sellers and Purchaser acknowledge that the breach of the provisions of this Section
8.5 by the other party or its respective Affiliates or Representatives may cause irreparable
harm to the non-breaching party for which damages may not constitute an adequate remedy.
Accordingly, the parties agree that any attempted, threatened, or actual breach of the provisions
of this Section 8.5 by one party or its Affiliates or Representatives may be enjoined by an
appropriate court order or judgment. The parties waive any requirement for the posting of a bond
or other security as a condition to such court order or judgment. Injunctive relief will not be
the sole remedy of the non-breaching party for a breach of the provisions of this Section
8.5, and all legal and equitable remedies will continue to be available to the non-breaching
party. If the non-breaching party is the prevailing party in any litigation relating to the breach
of the provisions of this Section 8.5 by the other party or its Affiliates or
Representatives, the non-breaching party will be entitled to recover (in addition to any damages or
other relief granted) its reasonable legal fees and other expenses in connection with such
litigation.

     8.6 Liquor Licenses. Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Manager, or
its liquor subsidiary, to enter into an agreement with Purchaser, on customary and reasonable
terms, which agreement shall allow Purchaser to “use” Managers (or its liquor subsidiary’s) liquor
license until such time as Purchaser obtains its liquor license (the “Short-Term License”). If
Manager or its liquor subsidiary is unwilling to enter into such customary and reasonable agreement
at Closing and Purchaser has been unable to obtain its own liquor license for the Property prior to
Closing, Purchaser shall have the right to extend the Closing Date to the earliest of (x) three
business days following the date Purchaser obtains such liquor license, (y) three business days
following the date Purchaser obtains a Short-Term License from Manager or its Affiliate or (z)
February 29, 2008. Such extension right must be exercised by Purchaser’s delivery of not less than
seven (7) business days prior written notice to Sellers and the concurrent deposit with the Title
Company of an additional deposit of $5,000,000.00 (the “Closing Extension Deposit”). The Closing
Extension Deposit shall be applicable to the Purchase Price at Closing, but shall be non-refundable
to Purchaser except in instances hereunder where the Additional Deposit is returned to Purchaser.

     8.7 Sellers’ Accounts Receivable. It is expressly agreed by and between Purchaser and Sellers
that Sellers are hereby agreeing to sell or cause to be sold to Purchaser at Closing all of
Sellers’ accounts receivable attributable to the period prior to Closing. Purchaser shall pay for
such accounts receivable at ninety-seven percent (97%) of the value of such accounts receivable as
shown on the Hotel’s books and records, it being expressly understood that such amount is not
included in the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall not be obligated to
purchase and Sellers shall retain those accounts receivables identified on Schedule 8.7,
and Purchaser agrees to promptly remit to Sellers any sums received with respect to such excluded
accounts receivables.

45

 

     8.8 Cooperation on Tax Matters. Following the Closing, the parties shall reasonably
cooperate with each other and shall make available to the other, as reasonably requested and at the
expense of the requesting party, and to any taxing authority, all information, records or documents
relating to tax liabilities or potential tax liabilities of Sellers for all periods on or prior to
the Closing and any information which may be relevant to determining the amount payable under this
Agreement, and shall preserve all such information, records and documents at least until the
expiration of any applicable statute of limitations or extensions thereof. Sellers shall make
available to Purchaser the records of individual wages of all employees, as well as copies of state
unemployment tax returns, to the extent necessary for Purchaser to verify future unemployment tax
rates and to calculate the correct taxable payroll for the remainder of the calendar year in which
the transaction occurs. Sellers also shall file terminating Forms W-2 and Forms 1099 with respect
to periods through and including the Closing Date, as appropriate. The provisions of this Section
8.8 will survive the Closing.

     8.9 SEC Filings. In order to assist with any potential future Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) filing requirements of Purchaser’s ultimate parent, Sellers shall, shall cause
their Affiliates to, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Manager and its
Affiliates to, (i) provide such cooperation, and use reasonable best efforts to cause Sellers’ and
Manager’s independent accountants with respect to the Property to cooperate, as Purchaser may
reasonably request in connection with such filing requirements, (ii) make available the officers of
Sellers and/or Sellers’ ultimate parent and (iii) cooperate with Purchaser in Purchaser’s efforts
to cause such independent accountants to (x) deliver consents to the inclusion or incorporation by
reference of any report in the SEC filings of Purchaser’s ultimate parent and (y) deliver
“comfort-letters” in customary form in connection with any such SEC filing of Purchaser’s ultimate
parent. Purchaser shall reimburse Sellers and/or Sellers’ ultimate parent for all out-of-pocket
expenses (including reasonable attorneys’, accountants’ and other advisors’ fees and expenses)
incurred by Sellers and/or Sellers’ ultimate parent in connection with performing their obligations
under this Section 8.9. The provisions of this Section 8.9 will survive the Closing.

ARTICLE IX

DEFAULT; TERMINATION RIGHTS

     9.1 Default by Sellers/Failure of Conditions Precedent. If any condition set forth herein for
the benefit of Purchaser cannot or will not be satisfied prior to Closing (unless the failure to
satisfy such condition is caused by the default of Purchaser under this Agreement, or is otherwise
within the reasonable control of a Purchaser Party or caused by an action of a Purchaser Party, in
which event such condition shall be deemed waived), or if Seller defaults in the performance of any
of its obligations and, if curable, if Sellers fail to cure any such matter or satisfy such
condition within ten (10) business days after written notice thereof from Purchaser (or such other
time period as may be explicitly provided for herein), (which ten (10) business day or other such
time periods shall, if necessary, automatically extend the Closing Date to the expiration date of
such ten (10) business day or other such time period), or upon the occurrence of any other event
that would entitle Purchaser to terminate this Agreement and its obligations hereunder, unless
otherwise provided for in this Agreement, Purchaser, as its sole and exclusive

46

 

remedy shall elect (a) to terminate this Agreement, in which event (i) the Initial Deposit and the
Additional Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser and Purchaser shall retain its right to
enforce the indemnities and other provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive a
termination of this Agreement, (ii) all other rights and obligations of Sellers and Purchaser
hereunder (except those set forth herein which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement)
shall terminate immediately, and (iii) Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for all of its
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement, its due
diligence of the Property, and its preparation for the Closing, not to exceed $500,000.00; (b) to
waive such matter or condition and proceed to Closing with no reduction in the Purchase Price; (c)
to waive all other actions, rights, or claims for damages for the failure to perform such
obligations (other than costs and expenses incurred in enforcing this Agreement and its right to
enforce the indemnities and other provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive a
termination of this Agreement or Closing), and to bring an equitable action to enforce Sellers’
obligations pursuant to this Agreement by specific performance; provided, (i) Purchaser shall
provide written notice of Purchaser’s intention to enforce this Agreement by specific performance
and Sellers shall not have cured such default or condition within fifteen (15) days following
delivery of such notice, and (ii) Purchaser’s suit for specific performance shall be filed against
Sellers in Bexar County, Texas, in which the Property is located, on or before seventy-five (75)
days following the then scheduled Closing Date, failing which, Purchaser shall be barred from
enforcing this Agreement by specific performance and shall be deemed to have elected to terminate
this Agreement as provided in clause (a) above, or (d) extend Closing for a period not to exceed
thirty (30) days to afford Sellers additional time to satisfy such condition or cure such default
provided that if such condition is not satisfied or such default cured within such thirty (30) day
period then Purchaser’s sole remedies shall be to elect to proceed under clause (a), (b) or (c) of
this sentence as of the expiration of such thirty (30) day period. If specific performance of
Sellers’ obligations hereunder is unavailable, Sellers, as Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy,
shall reimburse Purchaser for all of its out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the
negotiation of this Agreement, its due diligence of the Property, and its preparation for the
Closing, not to exceed $500,000.00.

     9.2 Default by Purchaser/Failure of Conditions Precedent. If any condition set forth herein
for the benefit of Sellers (other than a default by Purchaser) cannot or will not be satisfied
prior to Closing (unless the failure to satisfy such condition is caused by the default of Sellers
under this Agreement, or is otherwise within the reasonable control of Sellers, in which event such
condition shall be deemed waived), and if Purchaser fails to satisfy that condition within ten (10)
business days after written notice thereof from Sellers (or such other time period as may be
explicitly provided for herein), (which ten (10) business day or other such time periods shall, if
necessary, automatically extend the Closing Date to the expiration date of such ten (10) business
day or other such time period), Sellers, as their sole and exclusive remedy, shall elect either (a)
to terminate this Agreement in which event the Additional Deposit shall be promptly returned to
Purchaser and the parties hereto shall be released from all further obligations hereunder except
those which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement, or (b) to waive such condition and
its right to terminate, and instead, to proceed to Closing. If Purchaser defaults in performing
any of its obligations under this Agreement, and Purchaser fails to cure any such default within
the earlier of (i) the Closing, or (ii) ten (10) business days after notice thereof from Sellers,
then Sellers’ sole remedy for such default shall be to terminate this Agreement and receive the
Deposit and to retain its right to enforce the indemnities and other

47

 

provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement; provided,
however, that Purchaser shall not be entitled to any notice and right to cure in the event it
wrongfully fails to proceed to Closing as required by this Agreement. Sellers and Purchaser agree
that, in the event of such a default, the damages that Sellers would sustain as a result thereof
would be difficult if not impossible to ascertain. Therefore, Sellers and Purchaser agree that,
Sellers shall receive the Deposit and retain the right to enforce the indemnities and other
provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement, as full and
complete liquidated damages and as Sellers’ sole and exclusive remedy. The provisions of this
Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

     9.3 Costs and Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any litigation or dispute between the parties
arising out of or in any way connected with this Agreement, resulting in any litigation, then the
prevailing party in such litigation shall be entitled to recover its costs of prosecuting and/or
defending same, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees at trial and all
appellate levels. The provisions of this Section 9.3 shall survive the Closing or any
termination of this Agreement.

     9.4 Limitation of Liability. The liability of each party hereto resulting from the breach or
default by such party shall be limited to direct actual damages incurred by the injured party and
each party hereto hereby waives its rights to recover from the other party punitive, exemplary, and
speculative damages. The provisions of this Section 9.4 shall survive the termination of
this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 9.4 shall not limit or affect the rights of
Sellers to receive the Deposit as liquidated damages as and when provided in this Agreement.

ARTICLE X

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

     10.1 Completeness; Termination of Access Agreement; Modification. This Agreement constitutes
the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby and supersedes all prior discussions, understandings, agreements and negotiations between
the parties hereto. This Agreement may be modified only by a written instrument duly executed by
the parties hereto. Sellers and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that nothing contained in this
Agreement shall affect the rights and obligations of the parties under and pursuant to the
Management Agreement.

     10.2 Assignments. Other than to an Affiliate of Purchaser, Purchaser may not assign its rights
hereunder without the prior consent of Sellers; however, any such assignment (including one to
Purchaser’s Affiliate) shall not relieve Purchaser of its obligations under this Agreement prior to
the Closing. To be effective hereunder, any assignment by Purchaser hereunder, even one to an
Affiliate of Purchaser, must be accompanied by a fully executed and effective assignment and
assumption agreement provided to Sellers no later than five (5) days prior to the Closing Date,
provided that such executed agreement may provide that it is effective as of the Closing Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall have the right to designate any Affiliate as its
nominee to receive title to the Property or such portion or portions

48

 

thereof. Purchaser shall provide Seller the names of such Affiliate nominees, if any no later than
five (5) days prior to the Closing Date. Sellers shall have the right to assign their rights
hereunder without the prior consent of Purchaser; however, any such assignment (including one to
Seller’s Affiliates) shall not relieve Sellers of their obligations hereunder. To be effective
hereunder, any assignment by Sellers hereunder, even one to an Affiliate of Sellers, must be
accompanied by a fully executed and effective assignment and assumption agreement provided to
Purchaser no later than five (5) days prior to the Closing Date, provided that such executed
agreement may provide that it is effective as of the Closing Date.

     10.3 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their permitted respective successors and assigns.

     10.4 Days. If any action is required to be performed, or if any notice, consent or other
communication is given, on a day that is a Saturday or Sunday or a legal holiday in the
jurisdiction in which the action is required to be performed or in which is located the intended
recipient of such notice, consent or other communication, such performance shall be deemed to be
required, and such notice, consent or other communication shall be deemed to be given, on the first
business day following such Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday. Unless otherwise specified herein,
all references herein to a “day” or “days” shall refer to calendar days and not business days.

     10.5 Governing Law. This Agreement and all documents referred to herein shall be governed by
and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the state in which the Property is
located without regard to its principles of conflicts of law.

     10.6 Counterparts. To facilitate execution, this Agreement may be executed in as many
counterparts as may be required. It shall not be necessary that the signature on behalf of both
parties hereto appear on each counterpart hereof. All counterparts hereof shall collectively
constitute a single agreement. Telecopied signatures shall have the same valid and binding effect
as original signatures.

     10.7 Severability. If any term, covenant or condition of this Agreement, or the application
thereof to any person or circumstance, shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the
remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such term, covenant or condition to other
persons or circumstances, shall not be affected thereby, and each term, covenant or condition of
this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

     10.8 Costs. Regardless of whether Closing occurs hereunder, and except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, each party hereto shall be responsible for its own costs in connection with this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, fees of
attorneys, engineers and accountants.

     10.9 Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in
writing and shall be delivered by hand, transmitted by facsimile transmission, sent prepaid for
next-day delivery by Federal Express (or a comparable overnight delivery service) or sent by the
United States mail, certified, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, at the

49

 

addresses and with such copies as designated below. Any notice, request, demand or other
communication delivered or sent in the manner aforesaid may be given by the party required to give

or to such other address as the intended recipient may have specified in a notice to the other
party. Any party hereto may change its address or designate different or other persons or entities
to receive copies by notifying the other party and Escrow Agent in a manner described in this
Section.

     10.10 Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent referred to in the definition thereof contained in Section
1.1 hereof has agreed to act as such for the convenience of the parties without fee or other
charges for such services as Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent shall not be liable: (a) to any of the
parties for any act or omission to act except for its own negligence or willful misconduct; (b) for
any legal effect, insufficiency, or undesirability of any instrument deposited with or delivered by
Escrow Agent or exchanged by the parties hereunder, whether or not Escrow Agent prepared such
instrument; (c) for any loss or impairment of funds that have been deposited in escrow while those
funds are in the course of collection, or while those funds are on deposit in a financial
institution, if such loss or impairment results from the failure, insolvency or suspension

50

 

of a financial institution; (d) for the expiration of any time limit or other consequence of delay,
unless a properly executed written instruction, accepted by Escrow Agent, has instructed Escrow
Agent to comply with said time limit; (e) for the default, error, action or omission of either
other party to the escrow. Escrow Agent, in its capacity as escrow agent, shall be entitled to
rely on any document or paper received by it, believed by such Escrow Agent, in good faith, to be
bona fide and genuine. In the event of any dispute as to the disposition of the Initial Deposit or
the Additional Deposit or any other monies held in escrow, or of any documents held in escrow,
Escrow Agent may, if such Escrow Agent so elects, interplead the matter by filing an interpleader
action in a court of competent jurisdiction in the county or circuit where the Real Property is
located (to the jurisdiction of which all parties do hereby consent), and pay into the registry of
the court the Initial Deposit or the Additional Deposit, or deposit any such documents with respect
to which there is a dispute in the registry of such court, whereupon such Escrow Agent shall be
relieved and released from any further liability with respect to the Initial Deposit or the
Additional Deposit as Escrow Agent hereunder. Escrow Agent shall not be liable for Escrow Agent’s
compliance with any legal process, subpoena, writ, order, judgment and decree of any court, whether
issued with or without jurisdiction, and whether or not subsequently vacated, modified, set aside
or reversed.

     10.11 Incorporation by Reference. All of the exhibits and schedules attached hereto are by this
reference incorporated herein and made a part hereof.

     10.12 Survival. Except to the extent (i) that Sellers give Purchaser written notice prior to
Closing of the untruth or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained herein, (ii) a
Purchaser Knowledge Party otherwise obtains actual knowledge prior to Closing of the untruth or
inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained herein or (iii) of a Non-Breach Inaccuracy,
and Purchaser nevertheless elects to close this transaction, the representations and warranties
made herein by Sellers and Purchaser shall survive the Closing through but not beyond the
Limitation Date (as hereinafter defined) after which such representations and warranties shall
merge into the Closing Documents, provided that the aforesaid limitation shall not apply to the
prosecution of any claim made and action commenced in accordance with clauses (i) and (ii) below on
or prior to the Limitation Date. Sellers and Purchaser hereby agree that, notwithstanding any
provision of this Agreement or any provision of law to the contrary, any action which may be
brought for the untruth or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty in this Agreement (a
“Misrepresentation Claim”) shall be forever barred: unless (i) no later than ninety one
(91) days following the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Limitation
Date”), the party claiming such Misrepresentation Claim delivers to the other a written notice
of the Misrepresentation Claim setting forth the basis for such Misrepresentation Claim, and (ii)
such party, no later than six (6) months following the Limitation Date files a complaint or
petition against the other party alleging such Misrepresentation Claim in an appropriate Federal
district or state court and serves the same upon the party upon whom the claim is made.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Misrepresentation Claim
that Purchaser may have at any time against Sellers will not be valid or effective, and Sellers
shall have no liability with respect thereto, unless the aggregate of all Misrepresentation Claims
exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00); provided, however, if such aggregate of all
Misrepresentation Claims exceeds such threshold, Purchaser shall be entitled to assert the entire
amount of such Misrepresentation Claims. Sellers’ liability for damages resulting from valid
Misrepresentation Claims shall in no event exceed Seven Million Five

51

 

Hundred Thousand Dollars ($7,500,000.00) in the aggregate. The limitations set forth in this
Section 10.12 shall not apply to any claims made by Purchaser under the Deeds or pursuant to the
breach of any representation or warranty made pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.2 or 8.3.

     10.13 Further Assurances. Sellers and Purchaser each covenant and agree to (i) sign,
execute and deliver, or cause their respective Affiliates to sign, execute and deliver, and to do
or make, or cause to be done or made, upon the written request of the other party, any and all
agreements, instruments, papers, deeds, acts or things, supplemental, confirmatory or otherwise, as
may be reasonably required by either party hereto for the purpose of or in connection with
consummating the transactions described herein, and (ii) reasonably cooperate in connection with
obtaining any consents from any third parties (including any Governmental Authorities) that are
required in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement including the transfer
of any real estate tax phase-in agreements, provided that compliance with the provision of this
Section 10.13 shall not increase the liability, nor result in the incurrence of any
material out-of-pocket expenses, of the complying party. Sellers shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to enter into an Agreement of Inclusion sufficient to cause the 10A permit from the
applicable Governmental Authority to apply to the Property on or before Closing, if feasible, and
to continue such efforts following the Closing. In addition, the Memorandum of Additional
Covenants shall include an obligation on the part of Sellers to pay all costs of maintaining the
10A permit.

     10.14 No Partnership. This Agreement does not and shall not be construed to create a
partnership, joint venture or any other relationship between the parties hereto except the
relationship of seller and purchaser specifically established hereby.

     10.15 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to every provision hereof.

     10.16 Signatory Exculpation. The signatory(ies) for Purchaser and Sellers are executing
this Agreement in his/their capacity as representative of such party and not individually and,
therefore, shall have no personal or individual liability of any kind in connection with this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated by it.

     10.17 Rules of Construction. The following rules shall apply to the construction and
interpretation of this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated by the context:

          (a) Singular words shall connote the plural number as well as the singular and vice versa, and
the masculine shall include the feminine and the neuter.

          (b) All references herein to particular articles, sections, subsections, clauses or exhibits
are references to articles, sections, subsections, clauses or exhibits of this Agreement.

          (c) The table of contents and headings contained herein are solely for convenience of
reference and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement nor shall they affect its meaning,
construction or effect.

          (d) Each party hereto and its counsel have reviewed and revised (or requested revisions of)
this Agreement and have participated in the preparation of this Agreement, and therefore any usual
rules of construction requiring that ambiguities are to be resolved against a

52

 

particular party shall not be applicable in the construction and interpretation of this
Agreement or any exhibits hereto.

     10.18 No Recording. Neither this Agreement nor any memorandum hereof, or any other
instrument intended to give notice hereof (or which actually gives notice hereof) shall be
recorded.

     10.19 Facsimile or Electronic Signatures. The execution of this Agreement and all notices
given hereunder and all amendments hereto, may be effected by facsimile or electronic signatures,
all of which shall be treated as originals; provided, however, that the party receiving a document
with a facsimile signature may, by notice to the other, require the prompt delivery of an original
signature to evidence and confirm the delivery of the facsimile signature.

     10.20 Effective Date. This Agreement shall be terminable by either Seller or Purchaser
prior to the Effective Date.

     10.21 Tax Deferred Exchange. Either party hereto may, upon written notice delivered to the
other party hereto not later than ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date, structure the transfer
of the Property as a tax deferred exchange to such party pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section
1031, and each party agrees to cooperate with the exchanging party, and to take such action as the
exchanging party may reasonably request in order to consummate such transfer. Any such exchanging
party is granted the authority to transfer its rights to this Agreement but not its obligations
under an Assignment of Rights Under Contract to be signed by the exchanging party, an exchange
entity designated by such exchanging party, and the other party hereto prior to passing title and
ownership. At the request of the exchanging party, the other party hereto will sign the written
Assignment of Rights Under Contract referred to in this paragraph with the clear understanding that
all obligations under the Agreement remain with the exchanging party. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, (i) the non-exchanging party shall not be required to incur any additional
liabilities or financial obligations as a consequence of any such tax deferred exchange, (ii)
neither party shall be relieved of its obligations, representations or warranties under this
Agreement as a consequence of such tax deferred exchange, (iii) any attempt to structure an
acquisition or sale of the Property as a tax deferred exchange shall not be a condition to, and
shall not delay or extend, the Closing, (iv) neither party shall be required to acquire title to
any property other than the Property, and (v) the legal title to the Property shall be directly
deeded over to the Purchaser at Closing. Any risk that the proposed structuring of the transfer of
the Property might not qualify as a tax deferred transaction shall be borne solely by the party
seeking to effectuate the same, and each party acknowledges that the other has not provided, and
will not provide, any tax, accounting, legal or other advice regarding the efficacy of any attempt
to structure the transaction as a tax deferred exchange. Each party hereby agrees to save,
protect, defend, indemnify and hold the other harmless from any and all losses, costs, claims,
liabilities, penalties, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees,
fees of accountants and other experts, and costs of any judicial or administrative proceeding or
alternative dispute resolution to which the other may be exposed, due to any attempt by the
indemnifying party to structure the transaction as a tax deferred exchange.

     10.22 Survival. The provisions of this Article X shall survive Closing. Unless
otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement and except as expressly provided in

53

 

Section 10.12 hereof, all of the representations and warranties and covenants of the parties
contained in this Agreement shall not survive the Closing and shall merge into the Closing
Documents. Upon Closing, any breach or default of any such representations or warranties or
covenants that do not expressly survive the Closing, whether known or unknown, shall be deemed
waived by the Closing.

     10.23 Architectural Issues. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, contained in the
Commercial Covenants or the Design Guidelines, La Cantera Development Co. agrees that for so long
as Purchaser or any successor thereto owns all of the Hotel Tracts (as depicted on Exhibit
A attached hereto) and continues to operate the Hotel thereon, it shall cause the ARC (as such
term is defined in the Commercial Covenants) to give approval of proposed improvements to the
Property in accordance with the Design Guidelines attached hereto as Exhibit L (“Design
Parameters”). If La Cantera Development Co. and Purchaser are unable to agree on Purchaser’s
proposed improvements to the Property, such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to the arbitration
procedure attached hereto as Exhibit L-1.

Exhibit 10.1

VERAMARK TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AMENDED AND RESTATED DEFERRED

COMPENSATION PLAN

November 20, 2007

1. PURPOSE OF THE PLAN. The purpose of the Veramark Technologies, Inc. Board of Directors
Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) is to facilitate the recruitment and retention of qualified
individuals to serve as members of the Board of Directors of Veramark Technologies, Inc. (the
“Company”) by providing nonemployee directors of the Company the opportunity to defer all or a
portion of their cash compensation.

2. DEFINITIONS.

     2.1. “Annual Deferred Compensation Agreement” means a written agreement between a Participant
and the Company in substantially the form set forth in Appendix A, whereby a Participant agrees to
defer a portion of his or her Compensation.

     2.2. “Change in Control” means a change in the ownership or effective control of the
Company, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company, all as defined
under Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Code and any regulations or other guidance issued thereunder.

     2.3. “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

     2.4. “Committee” means the Compensation and Stock Option Committee of the
Company’s Board of Directors, or any successor to the Committee.

     2.5. “Compensation” means a Participant’s fees, payable in cash, for services
rendered by a Participant as a Director of the Company. Compensation shall not include any amounts
paid by the Company to a Participant that are not strictly in consideration for personal services,
such as expense reimbursements.

     2.6. “Deferred Account” means the record maintained by the Company for each
Participant of the cumulative amount of Compensation deferred pursuant to this Plan.

     2.7. “Director” means an individual who is not an employee of the Company and who is a member
of the Company’s Board of Directors.

     2.8. “Participant” means a Director who has entered into a written Annual Deferred
Compensation Agreement with the Company in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

     2.9. “Termination” means the Participant’s ceasing to be a Director of the Company for any
reason whatsoever, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, including by reason of retirement,
resignation, removal or death. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the date on which a
Participant ceases to be a Director of the Company shall be deemed to have not occurred

- 1 -

 

for purposes of this Plan unless such cessation constitutes a “separation from service” within the
meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code and any regulations or other guidance issued
thereunder.

3. ADMINISTRATION AND INTERPRETATION. The Committee shall have final discretion,
responsibility, and authority to administer and interpret the Plan. This includes the discretion
and authority to determine all questions of fact, eligibility, or benefits relating to the Plan.
The Committee may also adopt any rules it deems necessary to administer the Plan. The Committee’s
responsibilities for administration of the Plan may be exercised by Company employees who have been
assigned those responsibilities by the Committee. Any Company employee exercising responsibilities
relating to the Plan in accordance with this section shall be deemed to have been delegated the
discretionary authority vested in the Committee with respect to those responsibilities, unless
limited in writing by the Committee. Any interpretation of the Plan by the Committee shall be final
and binding on the Participants.

4. PARTICIPANT DEFERRAL AND DISTRIBUTION ELECTIONS.

     4.1. TIME AND AMOUNT OF ELECTION. A Director who wishes to participate in the Plan must
execute an Annual Deferred Compensation Agreement in accordance with this Section 4.1.

          (a) The Annual Deferred Compensation Agreement must be filed with the Company by, and shall
become irrevocable as of, December 31 (or such earlier date as specified by the Company on the
Annual Deferred Compensation Agreement) of the calendar year next preceding the calendar year for
which such Compensation would otherwise be earned.

          (b) In the first calendar year in which an individual becomes a Director (or in the first year
of the Plan), the newly eligible Participant may make an election to defer Compensation for that
calendar year in accordance with this Section 4.1(b). The Deferral Election must be filed with the
Company by the thirtieth (30th) day following the date that the individual first becomes eligible
to participate in the Plan (or such earlier date as specified by the Company on the Annual Deferred
Compensation Agreement). The Annual Deferred Compensation Agreement shall become irrevocable on the
date that it is received by the Company. The Annual Deferred Compensation Agreement shall only
apply to Compensation earned after the date that the Annual Deferred Compensation Agreement becomes
irrevocable.

          (c) An Annual Deferred Compensation Agreement that is timely delivered to the Company shall be
effective with respect to Compensation earned in all calendar years following the year in which the
Annual Deferred Compensation Agreement is delivered to the Company, unless such agreement is
revoked or modified (which revocation or modification shall be effective on the first day of the
calendar year following the year in which such revocation or modification is delivered to the
Company) or until terminated automatically upon either the termination of the Plan or the
Participant’s Termination.

     4.2. INTEREST ON DEFERRED AMOUNTS. Compensation which a Director properly elects to be
deferred will accrue interest on a quarterly basis equal to the interest rate realized by the
Company on its invested cash for that quarter.

- 2 -

 

5.  DISTRIBUTIONS.

     5.1. DISTRIBUTIONS IN GENERAL.

          (a) The Company shall distribute Participants’ Deferred Accounts as elected by each
Participant in the applicable Annual Deferred Compensation Agreement, except as otherwise provided
in this Section 5. If there is no effective distribution election in place for a Participant as of
the date of his or her Termination, his or her Deferred Account shall be paid out in quarterly
installments over 3 years beginning January 1 of the year following Termination.

          (b) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Plan or the applicable Annual Deferred
Compensation Agreement to the contrary, if the Participant is a “specified employee”, as determined
under the Company’s policy for determining specified employees, on the date of Termination, then to
the extent required in order to comply with Section 409A of the Code, all payments that are
provided as a result of a Termination and that would otherwise be paid during the first six months
following the date of Termination shall be accumulated through and paid within 30 days after the
first business day following the six month anniversary of such date of Termination (or if earlier,
upon the Participant’s death).

     5.2. UPON CHANGE IN CONTROL. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan or any Annual
Deferred Compensation Agreement to the contrary, if a Change in Control occurs and a Participant
incurs a Termination during the period beginning on the date of the Change in Control and ending on
the second anniversary of the Change in Control, then the remaining amount of the Participant’s
Deferred Account shall be paid to the Participant or his beneficiary in a single lump sum within 10
days after the first business day following the six month anniversary of such date of Termination
(or if earlier, upon the Participant’s death), or such later date as provided in Section 5.1(b).

       5.3. DISTRIBUTIONS FOLLOWING PARTICIPANT DEATH; DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY. The Company
shall make all payments to the Participant, if living. A Participant shall designate a beneficiary
in his or her Annual Deferred Compensation Agreement. If a Participant dies either before benefit
payments have commenced under this Plan or after his or her benefits have commenced but before his
or her entire Deferred Account has been distributed, his or her designated beneficiary shall
receive any benefit payments in accordance with the Annual Deferred Compensation Agreement and this
Plan. If no designation is in effect upon the Participant’s death, then the Deferred Account shall
be paid in a lump sum within two (2) months of date of death to the spouse of the Participant, or
if no spouse is then living, the Participant’s estate.

     5.4 TRANSITION RELIEF. A Participant may, no later than December 31, 2007 elect on a form
provided by the Company to (a) change the date of payment of his Deferred Account to a date
otherwise permitted under the Plan or (b) change the form of payment of his Deferred Account to a
form of payment otherwise permitted under the Plan. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a
Participant cannot in 2007 change his payment election with respect to payments that the
Participant would otherwise receive in 2007, and a Participant may not cause payments to be made in
2007 that would not otherwise be payable in such year. This Section 5.4 is intended to comply with
Notice 2006-79 and the applicable proposed and final Treasury

Regulations issued under Section 409A of the Code and shall be interpreted in a manner
consistent with such intent.

6. MISCELLANEOUS.

federal, state or local taxes required by law to be withheld.

Notwithstanding any other provision herein, this Plan shall be construed, administered, and
governed in a manner that is consistent with, and that satisfies the requirements of, Section 409A
of the Code and any regulations or other guidance issued thereunder, so that taxation of a
Participant is deferred under this Plan until distribution as provided hereunder. Any provision
that would cause the Plan to fail to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and any
regulations or other guidance issued thereunder shall have no force and effect until amended to
comply with such requirements (which amendment may be retroactive to the extent permitted by

Board of Directors, or any committee of the Board of Directors, may, at its sole discretion, amend
or terminate the Plan at any time, provided that the amendment or termination shall not adversely
affect the vested or accrued rights or benefits of any Participant without the Participant’s prior
consent. Moreover, no such amendment or termination shall be effective to the extent such action
would result in an “acceleration of benefits” or a “change in time or form of distribution” within
the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and any regulations or other guidance issued thereunder.

8. UNSECURED GENERAL CREDITOR. The Company’s obligation under the Plan shall be an unfunded and
unsecured promise of the Company to pay money in the future. The Plan does not grant Participants
and their beneficiaries, heirs, successors, and assigns any legal or equitable right, interest, or
claim in any property or assets of the Company. The assets of the Company shall not be held under
any trust for the benefit of Participants, their beneficiaries, heirs, successors, or assigns, or
held in any way as collateral security for the fulfilling of the obligations of the Company under
this Plan. Any and all Company assets shall be, and remain, the general, unpledged, unrestricted
assets of the Company.

 9. LAWSUITS, JURISDICTION, AND VENUE. Any lawsuit claiming entitlement to benefits
under this Plan must be initiated no later than one year after the event(s) giving rise to the
claim occurred. Any legal action involving benefits claimed or legal obligations relating to or
arising under this Plan may be filed only in Federal District Court in the city of Rochester, New
York. Federal law shall be applied in the interpretation and application of this Plan and the
resolution of any legal action. To the extent not preempted by federal law, the laws of the state
of New York shall apply, without regard to principles of conflict of laws.
