not materially adversely affect Strategic or any Strategic Affiliates, as reasonably determined by Strategic; and (iii) the lender providing Qualified Financing does not object to the Trust Structure. The Existing Partners shall indemnify, defend
and hold harmless the Partnership and Strategic against any liability related to the assessment of transfer taxes associated with the Trust Structure. 
  
 3. Contribution Amount. The Contribution Amount, subject to the adjustments and credits set forth herein, shall be due and payable as
follows: 
  
 3.1 Deposit. Within one (1)
Business Day after the Effective Date, Strategic shall make the Initial Deposit in immediately available funds with Escrow Agent. Upon the earlier of (i) Strategic’s receipt of a commitment for Qualified Financing, or (ii) March 15, 2005,
Strategic shall make the Subsequent Deposit, in immediately available funds, with Escrow Agent. Strategic shall use good faith efforts to obtain such commitment for Qualified Financing and shall notify the Existing Partners immediately upon receipt.

the provisions of Section 14.

 3.3 Allocation. The value of the Property, as determined based on the Contribution Amount
(“Property Value”), shall be allocated among the Real Property, Personal Property, and other relevant items for tax and financial accounting purposes as follows: twelve percent (12%) of the Property Value shall be allocated to the tangible
Personal Property and FF&E and eighty-eight percent (88%) of the Property Value shall be allocated to the Land, Hotel building and intangibles. Prior to Closing, the parties will agree as to the allocation between the Land and Hotel Building on
the one hand and intangibles on the other hand. 
  
 3.4
Treatment of Transactions. The parties acknowledge and agree (i) to treat the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for federal income tax purposes as a contribution to capital, in accordance with its form, and (ii) that none of
Partner Corp., General Partner, and Management LLC is selling any portion of its partnership interest in the Partnership to Strategic, and, accordingly, the parties shall not treat the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as a sale of
interest for any purpose. 
  
 4. Due Diligence and
Inspection Rights. Strategic has had and shall have the opportunity to perform Due Diligence on the Property, the Business and all matters pertaining to the Partnership in accordance with this Agreement. Strategic acknowledges that, as of
the Effective Date, it has completed all of its Due Diligence and hereby waives its right to raise any objection thereto except with respect to survey matters. All Due Diligence with respect to the Property and the Business shall be performed in a
manner consistent with the subparagraphs of this Section 4. 
  
 4.1 Review of Property and Property Documents. Until Closing, and subject to the terms of Section 4.2, Partnership shall provide Strategic and its Representatives with access to the Property and the Property Documents,
wherever located, upon reasonable prior notice at reasonable times during business hours, with the right and license to conduct Due Diligence with respect to the Property. Strategic covenants and agrees that it will inspect the Hotel at its sole
cost and expense and will not allow any Liens to attach against the Hotel as a result of its Due Diligence. On written request from Partnership, Strategic shall deliver promptly to Partnership copies of all its Diligence Reports, but with no
liability for the accuracy thereof and no representation that Partnership or any other party may rely thereon. Strategic acknowledges that the Property Documents may not be complete in all respects and that Partnership may not have complete
information concerning the Hotel and Strategic acknowledges that such information should not be relied upon and should be verified to Strategic’s satisfaction during Due Diligence. 
  
 4.2 Guidelines for Inspection Rights. Strategic’s rights to conduct Due Diligence shall be subject to the
terms of that certain Property Access Agreement dated January 3, 2005 (except to the extent it may be inconsistent with this Agreement), entered into by and between the Partnership and Strategic Hotel Capital, Inc. and the following further
requirements: (a) Due Diligence may only be performed during business hours and must not interfere with the operation or management of the Hotel or disturb the rights of guests or Tenants; (b) Strategic must provide Partnership with at least
twenty-four (24) hours prior written notice of its intent to perform Due Diligence on the Property and Partnership shall have the right to have a Representative of Partnership present during any such entry upon the Real Property by Strategic or

  

 - 3 - 

 its Representatives; (c) Strategic shall not contact any Tenant, Hotel contractor, Hotel guest, or Hotel Employee without
Partnership’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; (d) Partnership or its designated Representative shall have the right to pre-approve, and be present during, any physical testing of the Property; (e) Strategic
shall immediately return the Property to the condition existing prior to any tests and inspections; (f) Due Diligence activities may not affect the appearance of the Hotel in any way; and (g) Strategic may not conduct any invasive sampling, boring,
testing, or analysis of soils, surface water or groundwater at the Property without first having obtained prior written approval of Partnership. Prior to such time as Strategic or any of its Representatives enter the Real Property, Strategic shall
provide Partnership with certificates of insurance evidencing that Strategic has obtained appropriate Inspection Insurance. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, except in connection with the preparation of a so-called
“Phase I” environmental report with respect to the Real Property or the issuance of a standard “zoning letter” with respect to the Real Property, Strategic shall not contact any governmental official or representative regarding
hazardous materials on, or the environmental condition of, the Real Property, or the status of compliance of the Real Property with zoning, building code or similar Laws, without Partnership’s prior written consent thereto, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In addition, if Partnership’s consent is obtained by Strategic, Partnership shall be entitled to receive at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of the intended contact and to have a
Representative present when Strategic has any such contact with any governmental official or representative. 
  
 4.3 Due Diligence; Objections. As of the date hereof, (i) Partnership has delivered to Strategic a copy of Partnership’s most recent
survey of the Land with an effective date not more than thirty (30) days prior to the Effective Date, but with no liability for the accuracy thereof; and Partnership has delivered to Strategic a pro forma Title Policy satisfactory to Strategic,
which is attached hereto as Exhibit N (the “Pro Forma Title Policy”). 
  
 A. Objections. Strategic shall have until the Due Diligence Deadline to notify Partnership in writing of any Survey Objections; and any such notice shall be accompanied by the Survey and any other
materials which evidence or disclose such Survey Objections. If Strategic fails to notify Partnership of any Survey Objections on or before such date, then, notwithstanding any other provisions set forth herein, such failure to notify Partnership
shall constitute a waiver of its right to object to such matters existing as of the Effective Date. Partnership shall notify Strategic within five (5) days of its receipt of such notice if Partnership has elected to Remove any Survey Objection. If
Partnership fails to respond within such timeframe, Partnership shall be deemed to have declined to Remove such Survey Objection. If (i) within such five (5) day period Partnership either fails to respond or elects not to endeavor to Remove the
Survey Objection prior to Closing as provided herein, this Agreement shall Terminate, the Deposit shall be refunded to Strategic and the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, except for those which expressly survive any such
termination, unless, within five (5) days after the aforesaid five (5) day period for the Partnership’s election, Strategic waives its Survey Objection and elects to proceed with the Transaction pursuant to the remaining terms and conditions of
this Agreement. If Strategic fails to waive its Survey Objection within such five (5) day period, it shall be deemed to have elected to Terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit. With respect to any such Survey Objection so waived
(or deemed waived) by Strategic, the Closing shall occur as herein provided without any reduction of or credit against the Contribution Amount in connection therewith. Any change, 
  

 - 4 - 

 event, violation, inaccuracy or circumstance of which Strategic has Knowledge as a result of its Due Diligence prior to
the Effective Date, or as to matters that would be covered by Survey Objections of which it has knowledge before the Due Diligence Deadline and does not object to as provided in this Section 4.3(A), shall be deemed included on the applicable
Representation Exception Schedule(s) and waived by Strategic and the Closing shall occur as herein provided without any reduction of or credit against the Contribution Amount in connection therewith. Except for Survey Objections, Strategic hereby
waives its ability to object to any condition or matter related to the Property and agrees to accept the Property in its “as-is” condition, subject to the terms of this Agreement. 
  
 B. Removal of Objections. Partnership shall (i) Remove
prior to or at Closing any Required Removal Item and use commercially reasonable efforts to Remove any Survey Objection that it has agreed to Remove pursuant to subsection (A) above. If Partnership fails to Remove prior to or at Closing any Survey
Objection that it has agreed to Remove pursuant to subsection (A) above after using such commercially reasonable efforts to do so, then Strategic’s sole remedy shall be to (x) waive such requirement and proceed to Closing, which shall occur as
herein provided without any reduction of or credit against the Contribution Amount in connection therewith or (y) Terminate this Agreement, in which case the Deposit shall be returned to Strategic and the parties shall have no further rights or
obligations hereunder, except for those that expressly survive any such termination; provided, however, the Partnership shall have the right to extend the Closing Deadline until such Survey Objection can be Removed, not to exceed thirty (30) days.

  
 4.4 Tenant Estoppels. The parties have agreed
that estoppel certificates in a form reasonably satisfactory to Strategic and the issuer of the Qualified Financing in connection with the agreements noted on Schedule 4.4 attached hereto are the “Required Estoppel
Certificates”. Strategic will identify such other estoppel certificates that may otherwise be reasonably deemed necessary by Strategic or such issuer (“Additional Estoppel Certificates”). Partnership shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain such Required Estoppel Certificates and Additional Estoppel Certificates prior to Closing. Strategic shall provide reasonable assistance to Partnership in connection with obtaining such Required Estoppel Certificates and Additional
Estoppel Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Partnership fails to obtain any Additional Estoppel Certificates prior to or at Closing, Strategic shall nevertheless be required to proceed with the Transaction and the Closing shall occur as
herein provided without any reduction of or credit against the Contribution Amount; provided, however, that in the event Partnership fails to obtain a Required Estoppel, the Existing Partners shall issue such a clean substitute estoppel therefor at
Closing, which such substitute estoppel shall be limited to the Partnership’s Knowledge. 
  
 4.5 Required Permits; Software Licenses. 
  
 A. Required Permits. The parties agree that all liquor licenses are critical to the continued operation of the Business as currently operated (such liquor licenses, the “Required
Permits”). The Partnership and Strategic shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assign Permits to Property LLC or Michigan Avenue, LLC, as applicable (or obtain new Permits where necessary) prior to Closing or as soon thereafter as
reasonably practicable; provided, however, with respect to any new liquor licenses that are required pursuant to applicable Law, Strategic 
  

 - 5 - 

 shall complete the liquor license application and provide such other assistance as the Existing Partners shall request
and the Existing Partners shall be responsible for submitting such liquor license application to the appropriate licensing authority and for all related communications with such licensing authority. In the event any Required Permit is not obtained
prior to the Closing Deadline, and alternative arrangements reasonably satisfactory to Strategic and the Existing Partners are not agreed to, the Existing Partners shall have the right to extend the Closing Deadline until such Required Permit can be
obtained, not to exceed thirty (30) days. The costs associated with any such transfer or assignment, and any costs associated with obtaining replacement Permits (to the extent necessary), shall be the responsibility of the Post-Amendment Partnership
in accordance with Section 6.11(A). 
  
 B. Software
Licenses. The parties agree that any software licenses identified on Schedule 7.1F as “Critical” are critical to the continued operation of the Business as currently operated (the “Required Software Licenses”). The
Existing Partners and Strategic shall use commercially reasonable efforts to transfer or assign such software licenses to Property LLC or Michigan Avenue, LLC, as applicable (not including Excluded Software) (or obtain new software licenses where
necessary) prior to Closing or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable. The costs associated with any such transfer or assignment, and any costs associated with obtaining replacement licenses (to the extent necessary), shall be the
responsibility of the Post-Amendment Partnership in accordance with Section 6.11(A). 
  
 4.6 As-Is, Where-Is, With All Faults. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENTS TO BE EXECUTED AND DELIVERED BY PARTNERSHIP AT THE CLOSING, PARTNERSHIP AND THE EXISTING
PARTNERS DISCLAIM THE MAKING OF ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE PROPERTY OR MATTERS AFFECTING THE PROPERTY, WHETHER MADE BY PARTNERSHIP OR THE EXISTING PARTNERS, ON THEIR BEHALF OR OTHERWISE INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, THE PHYSICAL CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY, TITLE TO OR THE BOUNDARIES OF THE REAL PROPERTY, PEST CONTROL MATTERS, SOIL CONDITIONS, THE PRESENCE, EXISTENCE OR ABSENCE OF HAZARDOUS WASTES, TOXIC SUBSTANCES OR OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS,
COMPLIANCE WITH BUILDING, HEALTH, SAFETY, LAND USE AND ZONING LAWS, REGULATIONS AND ORDERS, STRUCTURAL AND OTHER ENGINEERING CHARACTERISTICS, TRAFFIC PATTERNS, MARKET DATA, ECONOMIC CONDITIONS OR PROJECTIONS, THE FITNESS OF THE PROPERTY FOR USE AS A
HOTEL, THE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OR POTENTIAL OF THE PROPERTY AND ANY OTHER INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE PROPERTY OR THE MARKET AND PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENTS IN WHICH THEY ARE LOCATED. STRATEGIC ACKNOWLEDGES (I) THAT STRATEGIC HAS ENTERED INTO THIS
AGREEMENT WITH THE INTENTION OF MAKING AND RELYING UPON ITS OWN INVESTIGATION OR THAT OF THIRD PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE PHYSICAL, ENVIRONMENTAL, FINANCIAL, ECONOMIC AND LEGAL CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY; AND (II) THAT STRATEGIC IS NOT RELYING UPON
ANY STATEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND MADE BY PARTNERSHIP OR THE EXISTING PARTNERS, OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY DOCUMENT TO BE EXECUTED AND DELIVERED TO 
  

 - 6 - 

 STRATEGIC AT THE CLOSING. STRATEGIC FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS NOT RECEIVED FROM OR ON BEHALF OF PARTNERSHIP OR
EITHER OF THE EXISTING PARTNERS ANY ACCOUNTING, TAX, LEGAL, ARCHITECTURAL, ENGINEERING, PROPERTY MANAGEMENT OR OTHER ADVICE WITH RESPECT TO THIS TRANSACTION AND IS RELYING SOLELY UPON THE ADVICE OF THIRD PARTY ACCOUNTING, TAX, LEGAL, ARCHITECTURAL,
ENGINEERING, PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AND OTHER ADVISORS. Because Strategic is to conduct such Due Diligence as Strategic deems necessary or appropriate prior to the Due Diligence Deadline and shall have the right to Terminate this Agreement on or before
the expiration of the Due Diligence Deadline for Survey Objections that are not Removed by the Partnership in accordance with Section 4.3, Strategic shall independently confirm to its satisfaction all information that it considers material to the
Transaction, and the Property owned by the Partnership shall be deemed, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, “AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS”, with no right of setoff or reduction in the Contribution Amount except to the extent
otherwise provided herein.  
  
 4.7 Termination
Right. 
  
 (a) Strategic may Terminate this Agreement as
follows: 
  
 (i) In the event Partnership does
not Remove Survey Objections, or elects not to do so, in accordance with Section 4.3, in which event Strategic will be entitled to the return of the Deposit. 
  

(ii) At any time prior to the Closing, in accordance with Section 8, in which case Strategic shall be entitled to the return of the
Deposit. 
  
 (iii) If (x) the Existing Partners
breach a Partnership’s Warranty, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Sections 7.2 and 7.3; or (y) either of the Existing Partners, the Pre-Amendment Partnership or Management LLC defaults in its observance or performance of any
other of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement, and such default continues for ten (10) Business Days after the date of receipt of written notice from Strategic demanding cure and the failure to perform such covenants or obligations is
likely to have a material adverse effect on the Property or Strategic, in which case Strategic shall be entitled to the return of the Deposit.  
  
 (b) Partnership may Terminate this Agreement prior to the Closing: 
  
 (i) If Strategic does not make the Subsequent Deposit when due in accordance with Section 3.1; 

 
 (ii) At any time prior to the Closing, in accordance with
Section 8. 
  
 (iii) If Strategic defaults in its
observance or performance of any of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement, and such default continues for ten (10) Business Days after the date of receipt of written notice from Partnership 
  

 - 7 - 

 demanding cure and the failure to perform such covenants or obligations is likely to have a material
adverse effect on the Property, assets or Business of the Partnership or either of the Existing Partners. 
  
 (c) In addition, this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon any termination of the Chicago Contribution Agreement in accordance with its terms, and
the Deposit shall be returned if it is to be returned under such Chicago Contribution Agreement. 
  
 (d) If the Partnership or Strategic Terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.7(a) or 4.7(b), then the parties shall have no further rights or
obligations hereunder except for obligations that expressly survive termination of this Agreement as set forth in Section 13.8. 
  
 4.8 Effect of Termination. Except as expressly stated herein, Strategic shall not be entitled to a refund of any portion of the Deposit in
the event the Transaction fails to close for any reason. 
  
 5. Partnership’s Covenants. Partnership agrees that between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, it being understood and agreed that the Existing Partners will be responsible for causing such covenants to be
complied with by the Partnership: 
  
 5.1 No
Alteration of Title. Partnership shall not transfer or further alter or encumber in any way Partnership’s title to the Real Property as it exists as of the Effective Date without written notice to, and the prior written consent of,
Strategic. If Strategic fails to object in writing to any such proposed instrument within three (3) Business Days after receipt of the aforementioned notice, Strategic shall be deemed to have approved the proposed instrument. 
  
 5.2 New Leases and Modifications to Existing Leases. If
Partnership desires to (i) enter into any new Lease, (ii) cancel, modify, amend, extend or renew any existing Lease, (iii) consent to any assignment or sublease of any Lease, or (iv) accept any prepayment of rent (more than thirty (30) days in
advance) under any Lease, Partnership shall deliver to Strategic written notice of such action, which notice shall contain information regarding the proposed action that Partnership believes is reasonably necessary to enable Strategic to make
informed decisions with respect to the advisability of the proposed action. Partnership shall not be entitled to take such action without prior written consent from Strategic, which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed (and if no response by Strategic is made within three (3) Business Days after Strategic’s receipt of such request and all documents related thereto, such consent shall be deemed to have been granted). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Partnership shall not be required to provide notice or obtain Strategic’s consent with respect to (x) Leases that can be terminated, without penalty, upon thirty (30) days (or less) written notice or (y) an amendment to the Miami parking garage
Lease required pursuant to Section 9.1(D), which Partnership shall cause to be amended prior to Closing in a form substantially and substantively similar to the amendment attached hereto as Exhibit K (the “Parking Garage Lease
Amendment”), or (z) an amendment to the Lease with Six Continents Hotels, Inc., an affiliate of the Partnership, dated on or about January 1, 2005, which the Partnership shall cause to be amended prior to the Closing in form reasonably
satisfactory to Strategic to permit the landlord thereunder to at no cost or expense terminate such lease at any time on or after three (3) years after the Closing upon not less than ninety (90) days notice (“Affiliate Lease Amendment”).

  

 - 8 - 

 5.3 Contracts. If Partnership desires to (i) enter into any new Contracts, (ii)
cancel, modify, amend, extend or renew any existing Contracts, or (iii) waive any default under or accept any surrender of, any Contracts, Partnership shall deliver to Strategic written notice of such action, which notice shall contain information
regarding the proposed action that Partnership believes is reasonably necessary to enable Strategic to make informed decisions with respect to the advisability of the proposed action. Except for Contracts that can be terminated, without penalty,
upon thirty (30) days (or less) written notice from the owner of the Property, Partnership shall not be entitled to take such action without Strategic’s prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed (and if no response by Strategic is made within three (3) Business Days after Strategic’s receipt of such request and all documents related thereto, such consent shall be deemed to have been granted); upon delivery of written or deemed
consent, such Contract or modification thereof shall thereupon be included within the definition of “Contracts” set forth herein. Partnership shall promptly provide Strategic with true, correct and complete copies of any Contract,
modification, or amendment entered into by Partnership. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, without any requirement for notice to or consent from Strategic, Partnership may, but shall not be obligated to, pursue any of
its legal rights to enforce any Contract. 
  
 5.4
Status of Property. Between the Effective Date and Closing, Partnership shall maintain and keep the Property in a manner consistent with Partnership’s past practices with respect to the Property; provided, however,
that, in light of Strategic’s right to conduct Due Diligence, Strategic hereby agrees that Strategic shall accept the Property subject to, and Partnership shall have no obligation to cure, (a) any violations of Laws regarding the physical
condition of the Property (subject to Section 7.1(M)), or (b) any physical conditions that would give rise to violations of Laws, whether the same now exist or arise prior to Closing (subject to Section 7.1(M)). 
  
 5.5 Tax Appeals. Whether before or after the Closing,
the Existing Partners shall have the right to continue and to control the progress of and to make all decisions with respect to any contest of the real estate taxes and Personal Property taxes for the Property due and payable during the Closing Tax

Section 6.8. 
  
 5.6 Personal Property.
Partnership shall not remove any of the Personal Property from the Real Property, nor use any of the Personal Property prior to the Closing Date, except such removal or use thereof as is normal and customary in the operation and maintenance of the
Property. Partnership covenants that items of Personal Property that consist of common area furniture and furnishings, common area artwork and supplies and maintenance items shall be maintained at Partnership’s customary level of quality.

 5.7 Conduct of Business Prior to Closing. From the Effective Date hereof to the Closing
Date, and except to the extent that Strategic shall otherwise consent in writing, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, the Partnership shall: 
  

	 	(a)	Operate the Business in the regular and ordinary course of business consistent with past practices; 

  

	 	(b)	Maintain the Real Property and Personal Property in its present order and condition, reasonable wear and use excepted and maintain all policies of insurance covering the Real
Property and Personal Property in amounts and on terms substantially equivalent to those in effect on the Effective Date;

required to be filed by Partnership after taking into account any extensions of time granted by any taxing authorities; and 

  

	 	(e)	Use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve the goodwill and patronage of the customers, Hotel Employees, suppliers of the Business and others having a material business
relationship with Partnership. 

  
 5.8 Access
and Information. In addition to the inspection rights set forth in Section 4.2, and subject to the confidentiality restrictions set forth in Section 10.2 hereof, Partnership shall afford to Strategic and its Representatives, reasonable
access to the offices, properties, books, contracts, commitments and records of Partnership, insofar as the same relate to the Business and the Property, and shall furnish such Persons with all information (including financial and operating data)
concerning the Business and the Property as they reasonably may request. Requests for such information shall be coordinated with Partnership’s designated Representatives, shall take place during normal business hours and shall not interfere
unreasonably with Partnership’s ability to operate the Hotel and the Business. Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Strategic and its Representatives in their examination. Strategic shall comply with all provisions of
Section 4.2 in exercising such additional access rights. 
  
 5.9 Exceptions. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, at any time prior to the Closing Date the Partnership may take actions outside the ordinary course of business as indicated on Schedule
5.9.  
  
 5.10 Existing Management
Contracts. Partnership covenants that all existing Contracts for the management of the Hotel are with IHG Affiliates and that any such management agreements will be terminated at or prior to Closing and the applicable IHG Affiliate(s) shall
release the Partnership from all liability under such management agreements.  
  
 5.11 Condominium Easement. Existing Partners will use good faith commercially reasonable efforts, including the payment of up to $1,000,000 by the Existing Partners to the parties benefited by the
easement, to obtain their approval prior to Closing to 
  

 - 10 - 

 cause the Plaza Level easement in favor of the Related Group condominium (as such terms are defined in the easement) to
be amended via an amendment substantively similar to the form of easement amendment attached hereto as Exhibit L, in recordable form, that would allow the Property owner to remove all or certain of the Plaza Level Amenities and to
redevelop or alter the Plaza Level from time to time, so long as alternative Plaza Level Amenities are provided at the Hotel; provided it is understood that the obtaining of such amendment by Closing is not a condition of Closing. The Existing
Partners will keep Strategic advised as to the status of such efforts and incorporate Strategic’s input into any material revision to the form of such amendment. If such amendment is not obtained by Closing, the Existing Partners shall continue
to so attempt to obtain such amendment for a period of twelve (12) months after Closing, and if such amendment is still not obtained by the date that is twelve (12) months after Closing, the Existing Partners will at such time make a payment of
$1,000,000, less the costs reasonably incurred by the Existing Partners in connection with its efforts to enter into such amendment, to the Post-Amendment Partnership; provided, however, prior to incurring costs in excess of $100,000 to obtain such
amendment, the Existing Partners and Strategic shall enter into good faith discussions to reach an agreement as to whether the Existing Partners should continue its efforts to obtain the amendment. 
  
 6. Closing. The time and place of Closing shall be held

 (ii) Booking Deposits. Advance
payments and deposits, if any, for Bookings that relate to a period after the Closing Proration Time shall be allocated to the Post-Amendment Partnership. The Post-Amendment Partnership shall assume and honor for its account all Bookings relating to

 - 16 - 

 and all such amounts attributable to periods after to the Closing Proration Time for the account of the Post-Amendment
Partnership. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any percentage rents received prior to Closing under any of the Leases shall be prorated as of the Closing Proration Time based on the number of days in the applicable Lease year, with all amounts

in accordance with Section 6.10. 
  
 D. Security
Deposits. All utility or other security deposits made by the Pre-Amendment Partnership shall be assigned to the Post-Amendment Partnership (or Property LLC or Michigan, LLC, as applicable) and such amounts shall be allocated to the account
of the Pre-Amendment Partnership. Any utility or other security deposits made by the Pre-Amendment Partnership that cannot be so assigned shall be returned to and retained by the Existing Partners and any replacement utility or other deposits
required shall be the responsibility of the Post-Amendment Partnership (or Property LLC or Michigan, LLC, as applicable). 
  
 E. Utility Expenses. Water, sewer, gas, waste fee, fire protection, electric and all other utility expenses and payments due or made with
respect to the Property shall be prorated as of the Closing Proration Time (except for those utility charges and operating expenses payable by Tenants in accordance with the Leases).

 G. Other
Liabilities. All other identifiable and ascertainable Partnership Liabilities that have accrued prior to Closing, including payments due or owing under any Contracts and any fees as to which periodic payments are made for applicable licenses
and Permits, if any, shall be prorated as of the Closing Proration Time. All Contract deposits, security deposits or other security obtained or held by Partnership, if any, shall be retained by (or if applicable, assigned or transferred to) the

Partnership existing at Closing that will not be paid immediately after Closing as contemplated by the Partnership Agreement (if any). 
  
 H. Closing Financing. Strategic is to arrange Qualified Financing for the Partnership as provided herein, and the gross amount of the
financing incurred by the Partnership on or about Closing shall be treated for the purposes of the prorations as a credit to the Post-Amendment Partnership, which shall have the effect of reducing the Contribution Amount. For example, if the value
of the Property was $100, the Strategic Contribution Amount $85, the amount borrowed by the Partnership on or about Closing $75, and the net proration amount for the benefit of the Post-Amendment Partnership $5, the net Contribution Amount to be
made by Strategic to the Partnership at Closing would be $17 which is $85 less 85% of the sum of $75 and $5 (i.e., $68). 
  
 I. Insurance. All insurance policies pertaining to the Property or the Partnership prior to Closing shall remain solely with the Existing
Partners and shall not be assigned or otherwise transferred to the Post-Amendment Partnership, Property LLC or Michigan Avenue, LLC, and no pre-paid insurance premiums shall be prorated.

Date, Partnership shall deliver to Strategic and Management LLC a current proration schedule of the items and amounts to be prorated as set forth in Section 6.8, and a draft settlement statement for the Transaction, prepared as if the Transaction
were a sale of assets. 
  
 A. Strategic Contribution Amount
Adjustments. If as a result of such prorations the net amount allocable to the account of the Post-Amendment Partnership is greater than the net amount allocable to the account of the Pre-Amendment Partnership, the Contribution Amount due from
Strategic at Closing shall be decreased by eighty-five percent (85%) of the difference between the net amount allocated to the Post-Amendment Partnership less the net amount allocated to the Pre-Amendment Partnership. If as a result of such
prorations the net amount allocable to the account of the Pre-Amendment Partnership is greater than the net amount allocable to the account of the Post-Amendment Partnership, the Contribution Amount due from Strategic at Closing shall be increased
by eighty-five percent (85%) of the difference between the net amount allocated to the Pre-Amendment Partnership and the net amount allocated to the Post-Amendment Partnership. 
  
 B. Management LLC Contribution Amount Adjustments. If as a result of such prorations the net amount allocable to the
account of the Post-Amendment Partnership is greater than the net amount allocable to the account of the Pre-Amendment Partnership, the Contribution Amount due from Management LLC at Closing shall be decreased by one percent (1%) of the difference
between the net amount allocated to the Post-Amendment Partnership less the net amount allocated to the Pre-Amendment Partnership. If as a result of such prorations the net amount allocable to the account of the Pre-Amendment Partnership is greater
than the net amount allocable to the account of the Post-Amendment Partnership, the Contribution Amount due from Management LLC at Closing shall be increased by one percent (1%) of the difference between the net amount allocated to the Pre-Amendment
Partnership and the net amount allocated to the Post-Amendment Partnership. 
  
 6.10 Reproration After Closing. The provisions of Section 6 shall survive the Closing. If the actual amounts of any of the aforesaid proration items are unavailable as of the Closing Date, then such
proration shall be made on the basis of an amount reasonably estimated by Strategic and the Existing Partners at Closing and Strategic and the Existing Partners shall thereupon reprorate such items at such times as the exact amounts for such
proration items become available. If an amount is owed to the Pre-Amendment Partnership as a result of such reproration adjustment, eighty-five percent (85%) of such amount shall be payable by Strategic to the Existing Partners. If an amount is owed
to the Post-Amendment Partnership as a result of such reproration adjustment, eighty-five percent (85%) of such amount shall be payable by the Existing Partners to Strategic. Alternatively, Strategic, the Existing Partners and Management LLC may
give effect to this provision by adjustments to the Capital Account(s) of the applicable party(ies) in accordance with the provisions of the Partnership Agreement provided it has the same economic effect.

Replacements Budget and the 2005 FF&E Reserve (as such terms are defined in the Management Agreement), shall be retained in the Post-Amendment Partnership pursuant to Section 3.1(g) of the Partnership Agreement. Such amount will not be subject
to proration. The Existing Partners will cause the improvements and replacements described in Schedule 6.11(B) to be completed prior to Closing. 
  

C. Consumables Funding. An actual inventory of the unopened cases of Consumables shall be taken the day preceding the Closing Date (or such

Consumables on Partnership’s books, the first in, first out method of valuation shall be used (the “Consumables Value”). Consumables for purposes of this valuation shall not include Consumables stocked in the guest rooms of the hotel
or not in unopened cases on the Closing Date. At Closing, Strategic shall contribute an amount equal to eighty-five percent (85%) of the Consumables Value to Strategic TRS Lessee and the Existing Partners and Management LLC shall contribute an

7.1(V), or in the written inspection reports (including environmental reports) delivered to or obtained by Strategic in connection herewith or otherwise disclosed in writing to Strategic, the Real Property is free from any such hazardous
waste, contaminants, oil, radioactive and other materials, except any such materials maintained in accordance with applicable Law. 
  

 - 24 - 

 W. The Americans with Disabilities Act. Partnership has not received any written notice
from a third party that the Real Property does not comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, 42 U.S.C. §§ 12101 et seq. (the “ADA”) or any other applicable Laws governing the use of the Real Property by
persons with disabilities. 
  
 X. Constituent
Documents. Schedule 7.1(X) attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference sets forth a true and complete list of the Partnership’s constituent documents. Each constituent document is in full force and effect,
and true, complete and correct copies thereof have been delivered to Strategic. There are no dissolution, termination or liquidation proceedings pending or contemplated with respect to the Partnership. 
  
 Y. Foreign Persons. The Partnership is not a “foreign
person,” as such term is defined in Section 1445 of the Code. The transaction contemplated by this Agreement is not subject to Section 897 of the Code or to the withholding requirements of Section 1445 of the Code. 
  
 Z. Debt Instruments. All existing debt instruments to which
Partnership is a party are held by an IHG Affiliate and will be discharged in connection with the Closing in accordance with the Partnership Agreement. 
  

AA. Undisclosed Liabilities. To Partnership’s Knowledge, the Partnership has no material Liabilities, and there is no basis for any
proceeding, hearing, investigation, charge, complaint, or claim with respect to any material Liability, except for: (i) Liabilities reflected in the financial statements described in this Section 7.1 or the disclosure schedules to this Section 7.1,
(ii) Liabilities under agreements, contracts, purchase orders and other similar arrangements which have arisen in the ordinary course of business; and (iii) Liabilities which have arisen since the date of the latest such financial statements in the
ordinary course of business. 
  
 7.2
Partnership’s Warranties Deemed Modified. Because Strategic’s primary reliance on the status of the matters addressed by Partnership’s Warranties is its own Due Diligence, to the extent that Strategic has or obtains
Knowledge prior to the Due Diligence Deadline (with respect to matters covered by Survey Objections) or the Effective Date for all other matters that Partnership’s Warranties are inaccurate, untrue or incorrect in any way, such
Partnership’s Warranties, and any Representation Exception Schedule applicable thereto, shall, if Closing occurs, be deemed modified to reflect Strategic’s Knowledge. In addition, Partnership’s Warranties are made and given subject to
the disclosures contained in the applicable Representation Exception Schedule(s). The Partnership shall not be deemed to be in breach of any Partnership’s Warranties (and no claim shall lie in respect thereof) in respect of any such matter so
disclosed in the applicable Representation Exception Schedule. Where brief particulars only of a matter are set out or referred to in the applicable Representation Exception Schedule(s), or a reference is made to a particular part only of a
disclosed document, full particulars of the matter and the full contents of the document are deemed to be disclosed. The specific disclosures set forth in the applicable Representation Exception Schedule(s) have been organized by Partnership to
correspond to section references in this Agreement to which the 
  

 - 25 - 

 disclosure may be most likely to relate, but such disclosure shall also be deemed to be exceptions to or modifications or
qualifications of other Partnership’s Warranties contained herein to the extent such disclosures are expressly referenced or Strategic Knew such disclosures were applicable. In the event that there is any inconsistency between this Agreement
and matters disclosed in the Representation Exception Schedules, information contained in the Representation Exception Schedules shall prevail and shall be deemed to be the relevant disclosure. 
  
 7.3 Claims of Breach Prior to Closing. If at or prior to
the Closing, Partnership obtains Knowledge that any Partnership’s Warranty is or has become untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect, Partnership shall give Strategic written notice thereof within ten (10) Business Days of
obtaining such Knowledge (but, in any event, prior to the Closing) and Partnership shall have the right to cure such misrepresentation or breach and shall be entitled to a reasonable adjournment of the Closing (not to exceed ten (10) Business Days)
to attempt such cure. If, after the Due Diligence Deadline (with respect to matters covered by Survey Objections) or the Effective Date (for all other matters) but prior to the Closing, Strategic or any of Strategic’s Representatives obtain
Knowledge that any Partnership’s Warranty is or has become untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect, and Strategic gives Partnership written notice thereof within five (5) Business Days of obtaining such Knowledge (but, in any
event, prior to the Closing), the Existing Partners shall have the right to cure such misrepresentation or breach and shall be entitled to a reasonable adjournment of the Closing (not to exceed ten (10) days) to attempt such cure. If Strategic fails
to notify Partnership on or prior to the Closing Date of Strategic’s Knowledge that any Partnership’s Warranty is or has become untrue, inaccurate or incorrect, then Strategic shall be deemed to waive such breach of Partnership’s
Warranties. With respect to any breach of Partnership’s Warranties described herein that is not cured by Partnership or waived by Strategic in accordance with the foregoing, Strategic shall have the following remedies: (i) if such breach of
Partnership’s Warranties has a material adverse effect, then Strategic may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, (x) Terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit and (y) in the case of a willful or intentional breach of
Partnership’s Warranties by one of the Existing Partners, seek indemnification from the Existing Partners pursuant to Section 11.3(i) (provided such indemnity shall not in such event be subject to the Threshold Amount limitation set forth in
Section 11.7) for any Losses incurred by Strategic after Closing in connection with such breached Partnership’s Warranties, subject to the Strategic Costs Cap; or (ii) if such breach of Partnership’s Warranties does not have a material
adverse effect, then Strategic shall not have the right to Terminate this Agreement, but shall be obligated to proceed with Closing, and in such event Strategic’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be to obtain for its own benefit indemnification
pursuant to Section 11.3(i) (provided such indemnity shall not in such event be subject to the Threshold Amount limitation set forth in Section 11.7) for any Losses incurred by Strategic after Closing in connection with such breached
Partnership’s Warranties. The untruth, inaccuracy or incorrectness of Partnership’s Warranties shall be deemed to have a material adverse effect only if Strategic’s damages resulting from the untruth, inaccuracy or incorrectness of
Partnership’s Warranties are in excess of Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($750,000.00). 
  
 7.4 Survival and Limits on Strategic’s Claims. Partnership’s Warranties shall survive the Closing for a period of one (1)
year and the Existing Partners shall only be liable to Strategic hereunder for a breach of Partnership’s Warranties made herein or in any of 
  

 - 26 - 

 the documents executed by Partnership at the Closing with respect to which a claim is made by Strategic against the
Existing Partners in writing on or before one (1) year after the date of the Closing and subject to all other provisions of this Agreement. Other than Strategic’s right to Terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.3,
Strategic’s sole remedy for a breach of Partnership’s Warranties is to seek indemnification in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions of Section 11.3(i) and subject to the limitations set forth therein and in Section 11.7.

  
 7.5 Strategic’s Representations and
Warranties. Strategic, at to itself or as to a Strategic Affiliate, as the case may be, as of the date of the execution of this Agreement by Strategic, represents and warrants to Partnership as follows, and as a condition precedent to
Partnership’s obligation to consummate the Transaction at Closing pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the following representations of Strategic shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date: 
  
 A. Organization, Power and Authority. Strategic is an
entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the state of its organization and has all necessary power to execute and deliver this Agreement and perform all its obligations hereunder. Strategic has the full power
and authority to enter into this Agreement and the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Strategic (i) has been duly and validly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Strategic, (ii) does not conflict with or result in a violation
of Strategic’s articles or by-laws or any judgment, order or decree of any court or arbiter in any proceeding to which Strategic is a party, and (iii) does not conflict with or constitute a material breach of, or constitute a material default
under, any contract, agreement or other instrument by which Strategic is bound or to which it is a party. There are no lawsuits filed or served against Strategic or, to Strategic’s Knowledge, otherwise pending or threatened the outcome of which
could adversely affect Strategic’s ability to pay the Contribution Amount and receive the Partnership Interest or otherwise perform its obligations under this Agreement. 
  
 B. No Bankruptcy. Strategic has not (A) commenced a voluntary case, or had entered against it a
petition, for relief under any federal bankruptcy act or any similar petition, order or decree under any federal or state Law relative to bankruptcy, insolvency or other relief for debtors, (B) caused, suffered or consented to the appointment of a
receiver, trustee, administrator, conservator, liquidator or similar official in any federal, state or foreign judicial or non-judicial proceeding, to hold, administer and/or liquidate all or substantially all of its assets, or (C) made an
assignment for the benefit of creditors. 
  
 C.
Sophisticated Investor. Strategic, or Strategic Affiliate, as the case may be, is an experienced investor that specializes in the investment in and ownership and operation of hotel properties in geographically diverse markets. As such,
Strategic or Strategic Affiliate is a sophisticated real estate owner, investor and manager with particular experience in the acquisition, ownership and operation of hotels similar to the Hotel. Strategic or Strategic Affiliate, as the case may be,
warrants and represents that it has the ability through its own employees, or through agents, independent contractors, consultants or other experts with whom it has a relationship, to evaluate fully the investment characteristics of the Partnership
Interest and the Hotel and to assess fully all issues pertaining to title to the Real Property, the value of the Property, the rights and liabilities of Partnership under any management agreements, the past performance of the Hotel, the projected
performance of the Hotel, the structural integrity and 
  

 - 27 - 

 soundness of all improvements and structures located on the Real Property, the environmental condition of the Real
Property, the compliance of the Hotel and the operation and management thereof with all Laws and the structure and organization of the Partnership. Accordingly, Strategic as to itself, or as to a Strategic Affiliate warrants and represents that,
except for the representations and warranties expressly made by Partnership or the Existing Partners in this Agreement, Strategic or Strategic Affiliate has not and will not rely upon any warranty, representation, statement of fact, or other
information made by or furnished by or on behalf of Partnership or Existing Partners or any of their Affiliates, but is relying solely on its own investigations, assessments, evaluations, and those of its own employees, agents, independent
contractors, consultants, and other experts with whom it is dealing in connection with this Transaction. 
  
 D. Investment Intention; No Resales. Strategic is acquiring the Partnership Interest to be acquired hereunder for the purpose of
investment and not with the present intention of, or for resale in connection with, the distribution thereof, and not with any present intention of distributing such Partnership Interest and has no present plan or intention to Sell any of the
Partnership Interest acquired by it pursuant to any of the transactions contemplated hereby. For this purpose, the term “Sell” means to sell, exchange, contribute, distribute or otherwise dispose of, to pledge or otherwise encumber, or to
enter into a short sale, equity swap, option or other risk-reducing transaction with respect to, the Partnership Interest. Strategic acknowledges that any direct or indirect offer, transfer, sale, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or other
disposition of any such Partnership Interest shall be subject to the provisions of the Partnership Agreement. 
  
 E. Partnership Interest Unregistered; Accredited Investor. Strategic has been advised that (x) the offer and issuance of the Partnership
Interest has not been registered under the Securities Act, (y) the Partnership Interest being purchased by Strategic hereunder may need to be held indefinitely and (z) there is no established market for the Partnership Interest and it is not
anticipated that there will be any such market for the Partnership Interest in the foreseeable future. Strategic as to itself, or as to a Strategic Affiliate represents and warrants that: (i) Strategic or Strategic Affiliate is an
“Accredited Investor” under Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act; (ii) Strategic’s or Strategic Affiliate’s knowledge and experience in financial and business matters are such that Strategic is capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in such Partnership Interest, or Strategic or Strategic Affiliate has been advised by a Representative possessing such knowledge and experience; (iii) Strategic, Strategic Affiliate and
Strategic’s Representatives, including Strategic’s professional, financial, tax and other advisors, if any, have carefully considered the proposed investment by Strategic in the Partnership Interest, and Strategic or Strategic Affiliate
understands and has taken cognizance of (or has been advised by its representatives as to) the risk factors related to the acquisition of such Partnership Interest, and no representations or warranties have been made to Strategic, Strategic
Affiliate or their Representatives concerning the Partnership Interest, the Partnership or the Partnership’s business, operations, financial condition or prospects or other matters except as set forth herein; (iv) in making its decision to
purchase the Partnership Interest being purchased by it hereunder, Strategic and Strategic Affiliate has relied upon independent investigations made by Strategic and Strategic Affiliate and, to the extent believed by Strategic and Strategic
Affiliate to be appropriate, Strategic’s Representatives, including Strategic’s professional, financial, tax and other advisors, if any; (v) Strategic, Strategic Affiliate and their Representatives have been given the opportunity to
request to examine all Documents of, and to 
  

 - 28 - 

 ask questions of, and to receive answers from, Partnership and its Representatives concerning the terms and conditions of
the acquisition of the Partnership Interest being purchased by Strategic hereunder and to obtain any additional information which Strategic or its Representatives deem necessary; and (vi) Strategic acknowledges that Partnership is entering into this
Agreement in reliance upon Strategic’s representations and warranties set forth herein. 
  
 F. Covenant Regarding Financing Arrangements. Strategic covenants to Partnership that it will obtain Qualified Financing from an Institutional Investor prior to Closing; provided, however, in no
event shall any such Institutional Investor obtain any Partnership Interest in the Partnership or the Post-Amendment Partnership or any controlling interest in Strategic (other than that which would arise in connection with a pledge of
Strategic’s Partnership Interest or a pledge of interests in Strategic that is not prohibited by the Partnership Agreement) as a result of such financing; and provided, further, that in no event shall Strategic have the right to Terminate this
Agreement or seek a return of the Deposit as a result of its inability to secure Qualified Financing. Strategic shall advise the Partnership as to all material aspects of the structuring of any such Qualified Financing and shall take into account
the reasonable advice of the Partnership with respect to same. Strategic and Partnership acknowledge and agree that Strategic’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Section 7.5(F) shall be deemed to be a Partnership Material Adverse
Effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Strategic, using commercially reasonable efforts, is unable to obtain or close the funding of Qualified Financing by the Closing Deadline, Strategic shall have the right to extend the Closing
Deadline for up to thirty (30) days as necessary to obtain and close the funding of such Qualified Financing.  
  
 8. Casualty and Condemnation. If after the Effective Date and prior to the Closing Date, any portion of the improvements is
materially damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, or there shall be commenced or instituted against the Real Property any Condemnation Proceeding, Partnership shall promptly give written notice of such event to Strategic, and the following
provisions shall apply notwithstanding the contrary terms of any applicable Laws with respect to the subject matter of Section 8: 
  
 8.1 Major Event. If (i) such damage or destruction results in a casualty loss in excess of Two Million and no/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00)
and such damage or destruction is not capable of being substantially cured within three (3) months, in each case as reasonably determined by Partnership, or Partnership elects not to so cure, or (ii) such Condemnation Proceeding would result in the
taking of a portion of the Real Property worth in excess of Two Million and no/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00) and such Condemnation Proceeding is not capable of being dismissed within three (3) months, in each case as reasonably determined by
Partnership, or Partnership elects not to contest such Condemnation Proceeding, then Strategic and Partnership shall each have the right to Terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other party given no later than ten (10) Business Days
after Partnership gives notice of such event, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Strategic, provided that the Closing Date shall be extended, if necessary, to provide sufficient time for Strategic to make such election, and provided
that in such event in lieu of termination by Strategic or Partnership, Strategic may elect to take subject to such casualty or condemnation and proceed to Closing with the Partnership receiving any insurance or condemnation proceeds, as applicable
(“Event Waiver”). The failure by Strategic or Partnership to so elect in writing to Terminate this Agreement within such period shall be deemed an election not to Terminate this Agreement. 
  

 - 29 - 

 8.2 Closing Despite Casualty/Condemnation. If a casualty or Condemnation Proceeding occurs
and neither Strategic nor Partnership Terminates this Agreement on account thereof in accordance with Section 8.1, then the Closing shall take place as contemplated in Section 6 of this Agreement. If the Closing occurs despite such casualty or
Condemnation Proceeding, unless due to an Event Waiver, (i) the parties shall agree on reasonable measures to cure or dismiss such casualty or Condemnation Proceeding post-Closing in accordance with the provisions of the Management Agreement and the
Partnership Agreement, (ii) the Existing Partners shall be responsible for the costs of any such agreed upon repair, restoration or dismissal action, and (iii) in addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Existing
Partners shall be responsible for maintaining its existing policy(ies) of business interruption insurance during the pendency of any such casualty restoration or condemnation proceeding such that the Partnership receives the proceeds thereof.
 
  
 9. Other Conditions to Closing.

 D. Other Matters. The Partnership shall have (i) Removed all Required Removal Items and other title matters not reflected on the Pro Forma

 10. Transaction Issues: Brokers, Confidentiality and Indemnity. 
  
 10.1 Brokers. Each party represents to the other that such party has not incurred any obligation to any broker
with respect to the Transaction except for the Broker, which obligations have been incurred pursuant to a separate agreement with such Broker executed in connection with the Transaction. The Existing Partners shall, upon the Closing of this
Transaction pay to the Broker the appropriate commission pursuant to the terms of the brokerage agreement with Broker. Except for Broker and such commission payable as set forth above, the Existing Partners, Strategic and Management LLC each hereby
(a) represent and warrant to the other that it has not employed, retained or consulted any broker, agent, or finder in carrying on a negotiation in connection with this Agreement or the Transaction, and (b) indemnify and agree to hold the other
harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, 
  

 - 31 - 

 causes of action, debts, liabilities, judgments and damages (including costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees actually
incurred in connection with the enforcement of this indemnity) which may be asserted or recovered against the indemnified party on account of any brokerage fee, commission or other compensation arising by reason of the Indemnitor’s breach of
this representation and warranty. This paragraph shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement. 
  
 10.2 Confidentiality. Except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law, Strategic and the Partnership shall each use the
other’s Confidential Materials only in connection with the purposes of this Agreement and shall make such Confidential Materials available only to its Representatives having a “need to know” with respect to such purpose. Each of
Strategic and the Partnership shall advise each such Representative of such party’s obligations under this Agreement. Except to the extent contemplated by this Agreement, the Confidential Materials and all rights to the Confidential Materials
which have been or will be provided by Partnership to Strategic shall remain the exclusive world-wide property of Partnership prior to the Closing Date and shall be held in trust by Strategic for the benefit of Partnership. None of the parties will,
directly or indirectly, deal with, use, exploit, or disclose such Confidential Materials to any Person or entity for any purpose prior to the Closing Date, except as described herein or unless and until expressly authorized in writing to do so by
the other. If the transactions contemplated hereby are not consummated, each party will return or destroy as much of such written Confidential Materials as the party furnishing such Confidential Materials shall reasonably request. The restrictions
of this Section 10.2 shall terminate on the Closing Date, and thereafter, the Confidential Materials (other than Employee Information and information regarding Pre-Amendment Partnership’s operating costs or similar financial information
pertaining to Partnership’s pre-Closing management of the Hotel and Property that are not reasonably needed by the Partnership in connection with the ongoing ownership and operation of the Hotel) may be used by the Post-Amendment Partnership
free of any restriction imposed by this Agreement. Partnership and Strategic will consult with each other before issuing any press releases or otherwise making any public statements or filings with governmental entities with respect to this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not issue any press releases or make any public statements or filings with governmental entities prior to such consultation and shall modify any portion thereof if the other party
reasonably objects thereto, unless the same may be required by applicable Law. 
  
 10.3 Indemnity. Strategic hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold Partnership and each of the other Partnership Parties free and harmless from and against any and all Losses (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) arising out of or resulting from (a) the breach of the terms of Section 10.2 or (b) the entry on the Real Property and/or the conduct of any Due Diligence by it or any of its Representatives at any
time prior to the Closing; provided, however, that Strategic’s obligations under this clause (b) shall not apply to the mere discovery of an pre-existing environmental or physical condition at the Real Property. The foregoing indemnity shall
survive the Closing (and not be merged therein) or any earlier termination of this Agreement. 
  

 - 32 - 

 11. Default At or Prior to Closing. 
  
 11.1 Strategic Default. If Partnership, the Existing Partners
or Management LLC terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.7(b)(iii) by written notice to Strategic of such termination, Partnership shall receive payment of the Deposit as full liquidated damages for such default of Strategic and Escrow
Agent shall deliver such payment within five (5) Business Days after such demand of Partnership, the parties hereto acknowledging the difficulty of ascertaining the actual damages in the event of such a default, that it is impossible more precisely
to estimate the damages to be suffered by Partnership, Existing Partners, or Management LLC upon Strategic’s default, that such forfeiture of the Deposit is intended not as a penalty, but as full liquidated damages and that such amount
constitutes a reasonable good faith estimate of the potential damages arising therefrom. Except with respect to the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 10.3 of this Agreement, the right to Terminate this Agreement and receive payment of
the Deposit as full liquidated damages, are Partnership’s, Existing Partners’, and Management LLC’s sole and exclusive remedies in the event of default hereunder by Strategic, and Partnership, Existing Partners, or Management LLC
hereby waives, relinquishes and releases any and all other rights and remedies (except, if Closing occurs, any that survive Closing or termination pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement), including, but not limited to: (1) any right to
sue Strategic for damages or to prove that Partnership’s, Existing Partners’, or Management LLC’s actual damages exceed the Deposit which is hereby provided as full liquidated damages, (2) any right to sue Strategic for specific
performance, or (3) any other right or remedy which Partnership, Existing Partners, or Management LLC may otherwise have against Strategic, either at law, or equity or otherwise. 
  
 11.2 Partnership Default. If Partnership, Management LLC or either of the Existing Partners defaults in the
observance or performance of its covenants and obligations hereunder at or prior to Closing of the Transaction, and such default continues for the greater of ten (10) Business Days after the date of receipt of written notice from Strategic demanding
cure of such default, or the expiration of other applicable cure periods set forth in this Agreement, if Strategic does not exercise its right to Terminate pursuant to Section 4.7(a)(iii), then provided such suit is filed within thirty (30) days of
the Closing Deadline, Strategic shall be entitled to sue Partnership, the Existing Partners and/or Management LLC for specific performance of this Agreement and immediately receive a return of the Deposit. Strategic shall have no right of specific
performance after Closing. Except with respect to any right, obligation or liability which survives the Closing, including any indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement, and except with respect to those remedies granted to Strategic
pursuant to Section 4.7(a)(iii) and Section 7.3, Strategic’s right to sue for specific performance is Strategic’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event of default hereunder by Partnership, the Existing Partners or Management LLC, and
Strategic hereby waives, relinquishes and releases any and all other rights and remedies (except any that survive Closing or termination pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement), including, but not limited to: (1) any right to sue for
damages, or (2) any other right or remedy which Strategic may otherwise have against Partnership, Management LLC or either of the Existing Partners at law, in equity or otherwise. Strategic agrees that its failure to timely commence an action for
specific performance within such the period noted above shall be deemed a waiver by it of its right to commence such an action for specific performance as well as a waiver by it of any right it may have to file or record a notice of lis
pendens or notice of pendency of action or similar notice against any portion of the Property. Notwithstanding the 

  

 - 33 - 

 foregoing, in the event Strategic exercises its right to Terminate pursuant to Section 4.7(a)(iii), nothing contained
herein shall prevent Strategic from seeking to recover its actual, documented out-of-pocket costs reasonably incurred by Strategic in connection the performance of its Due Diligence, its efforts to obtain Qualified Financing, including loan
commitment fees, its efforts in entering into this Agreement, and other similar costs or expenses incurred by Strategic in connection with its good faith efforts to close the Transaction in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided,
however, in no event shall such costs exceed, in the aggregate (for Strategic and any applicable Strategic Affiliate) under this Agreement and the Chicago Contribution Agreement, One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) (the “Strategic
Costs Cap”). 
  
 11.3 Agreement of Existing Partners to
Indemnify. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Existing Partners agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Strategic Indemnitees from and against any and all Losses asserted against, imposed upon or incurred by
the Strategic Indemnitees that arise out of (i) a breach of any Partnership’s Warranties (subject to Sections 7.2, 7.3 and 7.4); and (ii) Liabilities of the Partnership, i.e., both the Pre-Amendment Partnership and Post-Amendment Partnership,
(including without limitation those that arise out of the operation of the Business by the Partnership), accrued or accruing prior to the Closing Date, regardless of when the claim for such liability actually arises (but not including any amounts
for which the Post-Amendment Partnership received a credit pursuant to the prorations set forth in Section 6.8 (to the extent of such credit)); provided, however, that the Existing Partners shall have no liability under (a) Section 11.3(i) for
Losses arising in connection with breaches of Partnership’s Warranties that are expressly waived by Strategic or deemed waived pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or (b) Section 11.3(ii) for Losses arising out of matters (other than in
connection with Liabilities to third parties in connection therewith, e.g., slip and fall cases, amounts owed to contractors for work done prior to Closing) pertaining to the following: the physical condition of the Property, title to or the
boundaries of the Real Property, defects in title or survey relating to the physical condition of the Property, matters pertaining to the physical condition of the Property that could have reasonably been discovered during Due Diligence, pest
control matters, soil conditions, the presence, existence or absence of hazardous wastes, toxic substances or other environmental matters, compliance with building, health, safety, land use and zoning laws, regulations and orders (subject to Section
7.1(M)), structural and other engineering characteristics, traffic patterns, market data, economic conditions or projections, the fitness of the Property for use as a hotel, the financial performance or potential of the Property and any other
information pertaining to the market and physical environments in which they are located. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, this provision shall survive the Closing as set forth in Section 11.7, but shall not survive any
termination of this Agreement if the Closing does not occur (except with respect to any indemnification under subsection (i) above for any willful or intentional breach of Partnership’s Warranties by the Existing Partners in accordance with
Section 7.3).  
  
 11.4 Agreement of Strategic to
Indemnify. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 11, if Closing occurs Strategic agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Partnership Indemnitees from and against any and all Losses asserted against, imposed upon, or
incurred by the Partnership Indemnitees by reason of, resulting from, based upon, or arising out of the breach of any representation or warranty of Strategic contained in or this Agreement. 
  

 - 34 - 

 11.5 Procedures for Indemnification. To the extent that the Existing Partners are the
Indemnitor under an Indemnification Claim arising pursuant to Section 11.3 above, amounts required to be paid in respect of such Indemnification Claim will be paid to the Post-Amendment Partnership. If within thirty (30) days after the date on which
written notice of an Indemnification Claim arising pursuant to Section 11.3(ii) above has been given, the Indemnitor shall acknowledge in writing to the Indemnitee and without qualification its indemnification obligations as provided in Section
11.3(ii); then, except as hereinafter provided, the Indemnitee shall not, and the Indemnitor shall, have the right to (a) contest, defend, litigate or settle such Indemnification Claim, and (b) assert any counter-claim or cross-claim or otherwise
exercise any rights the Existing Partners or Partnership may have directly related to such Indemnification Claim and, to the extent it has made a payment to Indemnitee pursuant to its indemnification obligations in respect of such Indemnification
Claim, to retain any judgments, awards, settlements or other benefits procured in connection with any such action ((a) and (b) collectively, “Defend the Claim”) and the Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Indemnitor in connection
therewith, at Indemnitor’s expense. The Indemnitee shall have the right to be represented by counsel at its own expense in any such contest, defense, litigation or settlement conducted by the Indemnitor provided that the Indemnitee shall be
entitled to reimbursement therefor if the Indemnitor shall lose its right to contest, defend, litigate and settle such Indemnification Claim as herein provided. The Indemnitor shall lose its right to Defend the Claim if it shall fail to diligently
contest, defend, litigate or settle, in its sole and reasonable discretion, the Indemnification Claim. So long as the Indemnitor has not lost its right and/or obligation to Defend the Claim as herein provided, the Indemnitor shall have the exclusive
right to Defend the Claim and shall have the exclusive right, in its discretion exercised in good faith, and upon the advice of counsel, to settle any such matter, either before or after the initiation of litigation, at such time and upon such terms
as it deems fair and reasonable, provided that at least ten (10) days prior to any such settlement, written notice of its intention to settle shall be given to the Indemnitee, and provided that as to any such Indemnification Claim that is material,
the Indemnitor will provide such information as Indemnitee may from time to time reasonably request in connection therewith, consult with Indemnitee as to the contest, litigation and settlement relating to such Indemnification Claim, and in good
faith take into account Indemnitee’s advice and input in connection therewith. All expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Indemnitor in connection with the foregoing shall be paid by the Indemnitor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any settlement negotiated by an Indemnitor, no Indemnitee shall be required by an Indemnitor to (x) enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by
the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation, (y) enter into any settlement that attributes by its terms liability to the Indemnitee or (z) consent to the entry of any judgment
that does not include as a term thereof a full dismissal of the litigation or proceeding with prejudice. No failure by an Indemnitor to acknowledge in writing its indemnification obligations Section 11.3(ii) shall relieve it of such obligations to
the extent they exist. If an Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification against such an Indemnification Claim, and the Indemnitor fails to accept a tender of, or assume, the defense of a Indemnification Claim pursuant to its obligation under Section
11.3(ii), or if, in accordance with the foregoing, the Indemnitor shall lose its right to Defend the Claim, the Indemnitee shall have the right, without prejudice to its right of indemnification hereunder, in its discretion exercised in good faith
and upon the advice of counsel, to Defend the Claim, and may settle such Indemnification Claim, 

  

 - 35 - 

 either before or after the initiation of litigation, at such time and upon such terms as the Indemnitee, in good faith,
deems fair and reasonable, provided that at least ten (10) days prior to any such settlement, written notice of its intention to settle is given to the Indemnitor. If, pursuant hereto, the Indemnitee so contests, defends, litigates or settles such
an Indemnification Claim, for which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder as hereinabove provided, the Indemnitee shall be reimbursed by the Indemnitor for the Indemnification Claim, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses
of defending, contesting, litigating and/or settling such Indemnification Claim which are incurred from time to time, forthwith following the presentation to the Indemnitor of itemized bills for said attorneys’ fees and other expenses.

  
 11.6 Duration. The (i) indemnification rights of
the parties hereto for Losses resulting from a breach of representations and warranties contained herein are subject to the condition that the Indemnitor shall have received written notice of the Losses for which indemnity is sought within one (1)
year after the Closing Date; and (ii) the indemnification rights of Strategic Indemnitees under Section 11.3(ii) are subject to the condition that the Existing Partners shall have received written notice of the Losses for which indemnity is sought
within twenty (20) years after the Closing Date. 
  
 11.7
Limitations. 
  
 (a) If the Closing occurs, the
Indemnitor shall be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee only when the aggregate of all Losses suffered or incurred by the Indemnitee as to which a right of indemnification is provided under Section 11.3 or Section 11.4 exceeds the Threshold
Amount. After the aggregate of all Losses suffered or incurred by the Indemnitee exceeds the Threshold Amount, the Indemnitor shall be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee for all such Losses without reduction by the Threshold Amount. In no event
shall the aggregate Liability of the Existing Partners under Section 11.3, or the Liability of Strategic under Section 11.4, exceed the Partnership Maximum Amount. Notwithstanding the above, neither the Threshold Amount nor the Partnership Maximum
Amount shall apply to the indemnification rights of Strategic Indemnitees pursuant to Section 11.3(ii) or to any amounts due as a result of a reproration in accordance with Section 6.10. If the Closing does not occur, the aggregate Liability of the
Existing Partners under Section 11.3(i) for willful or intentional breaches of Partnership’s Warranties shall not exceed the Strategic Costs Cap. The limitations set forth in this Section 11.7(a) shall not apply to any indemnity provided
pursuant to Sections 10.1 or 10.3. 
  
 (b) The Indemnitor shall
not be liable for Losses in excess of the actual Losses suffered by the Indemnitee as a result of the act, circumstance, or condition for which indemnification is sought. 
  
 12. Notices. All notices, consents, approvals and other communications which may be or are required to
be given by any of Partnership, Existing Partners, Strategic or Management LLC under this Agreement shall be properly given only if made in writing and sent by (a) hand delivery, or (b) certified mail, return receipt requested, or (c) a nationally
recognized overnight delivery service (such as Federal Express, UPS Next Day Air or Airborne Express), or (d) by telecopying to the telecopy number listed below (provided that a copy of such notice is also delivered within 24 hours to the party by

mailing. Said notice addresses are as follows (and Partnership, Existing Partners, Strategic and Management LLC shall have the right to designate changes to their respective notice addresses, effective five (5) days after the delivery of written
notice thereof):

 - 38 - 

 13.6 Time is of the Essence. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE of the Transaction and this
Agreement. If the time period by which any right, option or election provided under this Agreement must be exercised, or by which any act required hereunder must be performed, or by which the Closing must be held, expires on a Saturday, Sunday or
legal or bank holiday, then such time period shall be automatically extended through the close of business on the next regularly scheduled Business Day. 
  
 13.7 Interpretation. The titles, captions and paragraph headings are inserted for convenience only and are in no way intended to interpret,
define, limit or expand the scope or content of this Agreement or any provision hereof. If any time period under this Agreement ends on a day other than a Business Day, then the time period shall be extended until the next Business Day. This
Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or other rule requiring construction against the party causing this Agreement to be drafted. If any words or phrases in this Agreement shall have been stricken out or otherwise
eliminated, whether or not any other words or phrases have been added, this Agreement shall be construed as if the words or phrases so stricken out or otherwise eliminated were never included in this Agreement and no implication or inference shall

 13.9 Further Assurances. Each party agrees to execute and deliver to the other such further documents or instruments as may be reasonable
and necessary in furtherance of the performance of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement; provided, however, that the execution and delivery of such documents by such party shall not result in any additional liability or cost to such
party. Existing Partners shall make available to Strategic the Partnership’s accounting books, records, financial statements, legal and other similar memoranda and letters of advice issued to the Partnership and similar documents promptly after

 13.10 Exclusive Application. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to
confer upon or to give to any person, firm or corporation other than Strategic, Management LLC, the Existing Partners and Partnership any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. All terms and conditions of this Agreement shall
be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and may not be assigned (other than as expressly permitted pursuant to Section 13.3). 
  
 13.11 Partial Invalidity. If all or any portion of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be declared invalid by Laws applicable
thereto, then the performance of said offending provision shall be excused by the parties hereto and each party agrees to use good faith efforts to enter into a modification or separate agreement which sets forth in valid fashion the covenants of
such offending provision in a manner which counsel to both parties determine is valid; provided, however, that, if the performance of such excused provision materially affects any material aspect of this Transaction and the parties are unable to
reach agreement as to such a modification or separate agreement, despite good faith efforts,, then the party hereto for whose benefit such excused provision was inserted in this Agreement shall have the right, exercisable by written notice given to
the other party within ten (10) days after such provision is so declared invalid, to Terminate this Agreement. Strategic shall be entitled to a refund of the Deposit upon any Termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 13.11.

exercise of any right or remedy accruing to Partnership, the Existing Partners, Strategic or Management LLC upon any breach under this Agreement shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver of any such breach theretofore or
thereafter occurring. The waiver by Partnership, the Existing Partners, Strategic or Management LLC of any breach of any term, covenant or condition herein stated shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other breach, or of a subsequent breach of
the same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained. 
  
 13.14 Rights Cumulative. All rights, powers, options or remedies afforded to Partnership, the Existing Partners, Strategic or Management LLC either hereunder or by Law shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise

 - 40 - 

 13.15 Attorneys’ Fees. Should any party employ an attorney or attorneys to enforce any
of the provisions hereof or to protect its interest in any manner arising under this Agreement, or to recover damages for breach of this Agreement, the non-prevailing party in any action pursued in a court of competent jurisdiction (the finality of
which is not legally contested) agrees to pay to the prevailing party all reasonable costs, damages and expenses, including attorney’s fees, expended or incurred in connection therewith. 
  
 13.16 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY
JURY IN ANY PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT BY THE OTHER PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE RELATIONSHIP OF STRATEGIC, THE EXISTING PARTNERS, MANAGEMENT LLC AND PARTNERSHIP HEREUNDER. THE
PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSING (AND NOT BE MERGED THEREIN) OR ANY EARLIER TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. 
  
 13.17 Facsimile Signatures. Signatures to this Agreement transmitted by telecopy shall be valid and effective to bind the party so signing.
Each party agrees to promptly deliver an execution original to this Agreement with its actual signature to the other party, but a failure to do so shall not affect the enforceability of this Agreement, it being expressly agreed that each party to
this Agreement shall be bound by its own telecopied signature and shall accept the telecopied signature of the other party to this Agreement.

MANAGEMENT LLC BE LIABLE PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS (NOT INCLUDING PAYMENT OF FEES PAYABLE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT), OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER EVEN IF
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any documents executed by Partnership pursuant hereto or in connection herewith, the maximum aggregate liability of Partnership
and the Partnership Parties pursuant to this Agreement, and the maximum aggregate amount which may be awarded to and collected by Strategic pursuant to this Agreement (not including the indemnification obligations of the Existing Partners pursuant
to Section 11.3(ii) which shall not be subject to this limitation) shall not exceed Partnership’s Liability Limit. The provisions of this section shall survive the Closing (and not be merged therein) or any earlier termination of this
Agreement. 
  
 13.19 Exhibits and Schedules. All
exhibits and schedules referred to in, and attached to, this Agreement are hereby incorporated herein in full by this reference. 
  
 14. Earnest Money and Escrow Agent. The Escrow Deposits shall be held by Escrow Agent, in trust, and disposed of only in accordance
with the following provisions:

upon receipt of a written demand therefor from such party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, after which Escrow Agent shall give written notice to the other party of such demand. Thereafter, (a) if Escrow Agent does not receive a
written objection from the other party to the proposed payment within ten (10) days after the giving of such notice, then Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to make such payment, but (b) if Escrow Agent does receive such written objection within such
period, Escrow Agent shall continue to hold such amount until otherwise directed by written instructions signed by Partnership, Strategic and Management LLC or a final judgment of a court. In the event of any return of the Deposit to Strategic as
provided for hereunder, One Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($100.00) thereof shall be payable to Partnership, and such amount shall in effect constitute option money, making this Agreement binding even if any conditions or provisions herein are entirely
with the discretion or control of Strategic. 
  
 14.4
Stakeholder. The parties acknowledge that Escrow Agent is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, that Escrow Agent shall not be deemed to be the agent of either of the parties, and that Escrow Agent
shall not be liable to either of the parties for any action or omission on its part taken or made in good faith, and not in disregard of this Agreement, but shall be liable for its negligent acts and for any Liabilities (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred by Partnership, the Existing Partners, Strategic or Management LLC resulting from Escrow Agent’s mistake of Law respecting Escrow Agent’s scope or nature of its duties. Existing
Partners and Strategic shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold Escrow Agent harmless from and against all Liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred in connection with the performance of
Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder, except with respect to actions or omissions taken or made by Escrow Agent in bad faith, in disregard of this Agreement or involving negligence on the part of Escrow Agent. 
  
 14.5 Taxes. The party receiving any portion of the Escrow
Deposits (or the benefit thereof) shall pay any income taxes on any interest earned on the portion of the Escrow Deposits it receives. Strategic will provide to Escrow Agent its taxpayer identification. Management LLC will provide to Escrow Agent
its taxpayer identification number. Partnership represents and warrants to Escrow Agent that its taxpayer identification number is 22-2987367. 
  
 14.6 Execution by Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent has executed this Agreement in order to confirm that Escrow Agent has received and shall hold
the Escrow Deposits, in escrow, and shall disburse the Escrow Deposits pursuant to the provisions of this Article 14. Strategic, the Existing Partners, Management LLC and Partnership are free to amend or modify this Agreement without Escrow
Agent’s signature as long as such amendment does not affect Escrow Agent’s liability hereunder. 
  

 - 42 - 

 15. Retention of Hotel Employees. Strategic acknowledges that Management LLC will manage
the Hotel in accordance with the Management Agreement described in Section 6.1(b)(iii) and that Management LLC or an IHG Affiliate (other than the Partnership, Property LLC, Michigan Avenue, LLC, or Strategic TRS Lessee) will employ all Hotel
Employees at the Hotel. 
  
 16.

such server at the Hotel for up to twelve (12) months from the Closing Date for use solely by Management LLC, Existing Partners or their designee. Strategic shall have no right, title or interest in or to such server or any data contained thereon.

 2.2

 3. Contribution Amount. The Contribution Amount, subject to the
adjustments and credits set forth herein, shall be due and payable as follows: 
  
 3.1 Deposit. Within one (1) Business Day after the Effective Date, Strategic shall make the Initial Deposit in immediately available funds with Escrow Agent. Upon the earlier of (i) Strategic’s
receipt of a commitment for Qualified Financing, or (ii) March 15, 2005, Strategic shall make the Subsequent Deposit, in immediately available funds, with Escrow Agent. Strategic shall use good faith efforts to obtain such commitment for Qualified

 2 

 3.4 Treatment of Transactions. The parties acknowledge and agree (i) to treat the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement for federal income tax purposes as a contribution to capital, in accordance with its form, and (ii) that none of Hotels Corp., General Partner, and Management LLC is selling any portion of its partnership
interest in the Partnership to Strategic, and, accordingly, the parties shall not treat the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as a sale of interest for any purpose. 
  
 4. Due Diligence and Inspection Rights. Strategic has had and shall have the opportunity to perform Due
Diligence on the Property, the Business and all matters pertaining to the Partnership in accordance with this Agreement. Strategic acknowledges that, as of the Effective Date, it has completed all of its Due Diligence and hereby waives its right to
raise any objection thereto except with respect to matters (i) survey; and (ii) arising out of a Legionnaire’s water quality and risk study it is conducting. All Due Diligence with respect to the Property and the Business shall be performed in
a manner consistent with the subparagraphs of this Section 4. 
  
 4.1 Review of Property and Property Documents. Until Closing, and subject to the terms of Section 4.2, Partnership shall provide Strategic and its Representatives with access to the Property and the Property Documents,
wherever located, upon reasonable prior notice at reasonable times during business hours, with the right and license to conduct Due Diligence with respect to the Property. Strategic covenants and agrees that it will inspect the Hotel at its sole
cost and expense and will not allow any Liens to attach against the Hotel as a result of its Due Diligence. On written request from Partnership, Strategic shall deliver promptly to Partnership copies of all its Diligence Reports, but with no
liability for the accuracy thereof and no representation that Partnership or any other party may rely thereon. Strategic acknowledges that the Property Documents may not be complete in all respects and that Partnership may not have complete
information concerning the Hotel and Strategic acknowledges that such information should not be relied upon and should be verified to Strategic’s satisfaction during Due Diligence.

terms of that certain Property Access Agreement dated January 3, 2005 (except to the extent it may be inconsistent with this Agreement), entered into by and between the Partnership and Strategic Hotel Capital, Inc. and the following further
requirements: (a) Due Diligence may only be performed during business hours and must not interfere with the operation or management of the Hotel or disturb the rights of guests or Tenants; (b) Strategic must provide Partnership with at least
twenty-four (24) hours prior written notice of its intent to perform Due Diligence on the Property and Partnership shall have the right to have a Representative of Partnership present during any such entry upon the Real Property by Strategic or its
Representatives; (c) Strategic shall not contact any Tenant, Hotel contractor, Hotel guest, or Hotel Employee without Partnership’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; (d) Partnership or its designated
Representative shall have the right to pre-approve, and be present during, any physical testing of the Property; (e) Strategic shall immediately return the Property to the condition existing prior to any tests and inspections; (f) Due Diligence
activities may not affect the appearance of the Hotel in any way; and (g) Strategic may not conduct any invasive sampling, boring, testing, or analysis of soils, surface water or groundwater at the Property without first having obtained prior
written approval of Partnership. Prior to such time as Strategic or any of its Representatives enter the Real Property, Strategic shall provide Partnership with certificates of insurance evidencing that Strategic has obtained appropriate 

 

 3 

 
Inspection Insurance. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, except in connection with the preparation of a so-called “Phase
I” environmental report with respect to the Real Property or the issuance of a standard “zoning letter” with respect to the Real Property, Strategic shall not contact any governmental official or representative regarding hazardous
materials on, or the environmental condition of, the Real Property, or the status of compliance of the Real Property with zoning, building code or similar Laws, without Partnership’s prior written consent thereto, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. In addition, if Partnership’s consent is obtained by Strategic, Partnership shall be entitled to receive at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of the intended contact and to have a
Representative present when Strategic has any such contact with any governmental official or representative. 
  
 4.3 Due Diligence; Objections. As of the date hereof, (i) Partnership has delivered to Strategic a copy of Partnership’s most recent
survey of the Land with an effective date not more than thirty (30) days prior to the Effective Date, but with no liability for the accuracy thereof; and (ii) Strategic has commissioned a Legionnaire’s water quality and risk study with respect
to the Property. Partnership has delivered to Strategic a pro forma Title Policy satisfactory to Strategic, which is attached hereto as Exhibit N (the “Pro Forma Title Policy”). 
  
 A. Objections. Strategic shall have until the applicable
Due Diligence Deadline to notify Partnership in writing of any (i) Survey Objections; or (ii) Legionnaire’s Objections; and any such notice shall be accompanied by the Survey, Legionnaire’s study and any other materials which evidence or
disclose such Objections. If Strategic fails to notify Partnership of any Objections on or before such date, then, notwithstanding any other provisions set forth herein, such failure to notify Partnership shall constitute a waiver of its right to
object to such matters existing as of the Effective Date. Partnership shall notify Strategic within five (5) days of its receipt of such notice if Partnership has elected to Remove or Cure any Objection. If Partnership fails to respond within such
timeframe, Partnership shall be deemed to have declined to Remove or Cure such Objection (other than Required Removal Items, it being understood that the Partnership shall in any event be obligated to Remove the Required Removal Items). If (i)
within such five (5) day period Partnership either fails to respond or elects not to endeavor to Remove or Cure the Objection prior to Closing as provided herein, this Agreement shall Terminate, the Deposit shall be refunded to Strategic and the
parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, except for those which expressly survive any such termination, unless, within five (5) days after the aforesaid five (5) day period for the Partnership’s election, Strategic waives
its Objection (other than Required Removal Items) and elects to proceed with the Transaction pursuant to the remaining terms and conditions of this Agreement. If Strategic fails to waive its Objection within such five (5) day period, it shall be
deemed to have elected to Terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit. With respect to any such Objection so waived (or deemed waived) by Strategic, the Closing shall occur as herein provided without any reduction of or credit
against the Contribution Amount in connection therewith. Any change, event, violation, inaccuracy or circumstance of which Strategic has Knowledge as a result of its Due Diligence prior to the Effective Date, or as to matters that would be covered
by Survey Objections or Legionnaire’s Objections of which it has knowledge before the applicable Due Diligence Deadline and does not object to as provided in this Section 4.3(A), shall be deemed included on the applicable Representation
Exception Schedule(s) and waived by Strategic and the Closing shall occur as herein provided without any reduction of or credit against the Contribution Amount in connection therewith. Except for Survey Objections and 
  

 4 

 Legionnaire’s Objections, Strategic hereby waives its ability to object to any condition or matter related to the
Property and agrees to accept the Property in its “as-is” condition, subject to the terms of this Agreement. 
  
 B. Cure of Objections. Partnership shall (i) Remove prior to or at Closing any Required Removal Item and use commercially reasonable
efforts to Remove any other Survey Objection that it has agreed to Remove pursuant to subsection (A) above; and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to Cure any Legionnaire’s Objection that is has agreed to Cure pursuant to subsection (A)
above. If Partnership fails to Remove or Cure prior to or at Closing any Objection that it has agreed to Remove or Cure pursuant to subsection (A) above after using such commercially reasonable efforts to do so, then Strategic’s sole remedy
shall be to (x) waive such requirement and proceed to Closing, which shall occur as herein provided without any reduction of or credit against the Contribution Amount in connection therewith or (y) Terminate this Agreement, in which case the Deposit
shall be returned to Strategic and the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, except for those that expressly survive any such termination; provided, however, the Partnership shall have the right to extend the Closing
Deadline until such Objection can be Cured or Removed, not to exceed thirty (30) days. 
  
 4.4 Tenant Estoppels. The parties have agreed that estoppel certificates in a form reasonably satisfactory to Strategic and the issuer of the Qualified Financing in connection with the agreements noted
on Schedule 4.4 attached hereto are the “Required Estoppel Certificates”. Strategic will identify such other estoppel certificates that may otherwise be reasonably deemed necessary by Strategic or such issuer
(“Additional Estoppel Certificates”). Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such Required Estoppel Certificates and Additional Estoppel Certificates prior to Closing. Strategic shall provide reasonable assistance
to Partnership in connection with obtaining such Required Estoppel Certificates and Additional Estoppel Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Partnership fails to obtain any Additional Estoppel Certificates prior to or at Closing,
Strategic shall nevertheless be required to proceed with the Transaction and the Closing shall occur as herein provided without any reduction of or credit against the Contribution Amount; provided, however, that in the event Partnership fails to
obtain a Required Estoppel, the Existing Partners shall issue a clean substitute estoppel therefor at Closing, which such substitute estoppel shall be limited to the Partnership’s Knowledge. 
  
 4.5 Required Permits; Software Licenses. 
  
 A. Required Permits. The parties agree that all liquor
licenses are critical to the continued operation of the Business as currently operated (such liquor licenses, the “Required Permits”). The Partnership and Strategic shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assign Permits to Property
LLC or Michigan Avenue, LLC, as applicable (or obtain new Permits where necessary) prior to Closing or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable; provided, however, with respect to any new liquor licenses that are required pursuant to applicable
Law, Strategic shall complete the liquor license application and provide such other assistance as the Existing Partners shall request and the Existing Partners shall be responsible for submitting such liquor license application to the appropriate
licensing authority and for all related communications with such licensing authority. In the event any Required Permit is not obtained prior to the Closing Deadline, and alternative arrangements reasonably satisfactory to Strategic and the Existing
Partners are not agreed to, the Existing Partners shall have the right to extend the Closing 
  

 5 

 Deadline until such Required Permit can be obtained, not to exceed thirty (30) days. The costs associated with any such
transfer or assignment, and any costs associated with obtaining replacement Permits (to the extent necessary), shall be the responsibility of the Post-Amendment Partnership in accordance with Section 6.11(A). 
  
 B. Software Licenses. The parties agree that any
software licenses identified on Schedule 7.1F as “Critical” are critical to the continued operation of the Business as currently operated (the “Required Software Licenses”). The Existing Partners and Strategic shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to transfer or assign such software licenses to Property LLC or Michigan Avenue, LLC, as applicable (not including Excluded Software) (or obtain new software licenses where necessary) prior to Closing or as soon
thereafter as reasonably practicable. The costs associated with any such transfer or assignment, and any costs associated with obtaining replacement licenses (to the extent necessary), shall be the responsibility of the Post-Amendment Partnership in
accordance with Section 6.11(A). 
  
 4.6 As-Is, Where-Is,
With All Faults. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENTS TO BE EXECUTED AND DELIVERED BY PARTNERSHIP AT THE CLOSING, PARTNERSHIP AND THE EXISTING PARTNERS DISCLAIM THE MAKING OF ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR
WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE PROPERTY OR MATTERS AFFECTING THE PROPERTY, WHETHER MADE BY PARTNERSHIP OR THE EXISTING PARTNERS, ON THEIR BEHALF OR OTHERWISE INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE PHYSICAL CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY, TITLE
TO OR THE BOUNDARIES OF THE REAL PROPERTY, PEST CONTROL MATTERS, SOIL CONDITIONS, THE PRESENCE, EXISTENCE OR ABSENCE OF HAZARDOUS WASTES, TOXIC SUBSTANCES OR OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS, COMPLIANCE WITH BUILDING, HEALTH, SAFETY, LAND USE AND ZONING
LAWS, REGULATIONS AND ORDERS, STRUCTURAL AND OTHER ENGINEERING CHARACTERISTICS, TRAFFIC PATTERNS, MARKET DATA, ECONOMIC CONDITIONS OR PROJECTIONS, THE FITNESS OF THE PROPERTY FOR USE AS A HOTEL, THE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OR POTENTIAL OF THE PROPERTY
AND ANY OTHER INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE PROPERTY OR THE MARKET AND PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENTS IN WHICH THEY ARE LOCATED. STRATEGIC ACKNOWLEDGES (I) THAT STRATEGIC HAS ENTERED INTO THIS AGREEMENT WITH THE INTENTION OF MAKING AND RELYING UPON ITS OWN
INVESTIGATION OR THAT OF THIRD PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE PHYSICAL, ENVIRONMENTAL, FINANCIAL, ECONOMIC AND LEGAL CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY; AND (II) THAT STRATEGIC IS NOT RELYING UPON ANY STATEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND MADE
BY PARTNERSHIP OR THE EXISTING PARTNERS, OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY DOCUMENT TO BE EXECUTED AND DELIVERED TO STRATEGIC AT THE CLOSING. STRATEGIC FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS NOT RECEIVED FROM OR ON BEHALF
OF PARTNERSHIP OR EITHER OF THE EXISTING PARTNERS ANY ACCOUNTING, TAX, LEGAL, ARCHITECTURAL, ENGINEERING, PROPERTY MANAGEMENT OR OTHER ADVICE WITH RESPECT TO THIS TRANSACTION AND IS RELYING SOLELY UPON THE ADVICE OF THIRD PARTY ACCOUNTING, TAX,
LEGAL, ARCHITECTURAL, ENGINEERING, PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AND OTHER ADVISORS. Because Strategic is to conduct such Due 
  

 6 

 Diligence as Strategic deems necessary or appropriate prior to the Due Diligence Deadline and shall have the right to
Terminate this Agreement on or before the expiration of the applicable Due Diligence Deadline for Objections that are not Cured or Removed by the Partnership in accordance with Section 4.3, Strategic shall independently confirm to its satisfaction
all information that it considers material to the Transaction, and the Property owned by the Partnership shall be deemed, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, “AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS”, with no right of setoff or reduction
in the Contribution Amount except to the extent otherwise provided herein. Further, Strategic acknowledges that it is aware of the proposed condominium development project to be located east of the Hotel and agrees that it shall have no right of
setoff or reduction in the Contribution Amount as a result of such development project and that it shall have no claim against the Partnership, Existing Partners or Management LLC regarding matters pertaining to the existence of such development
project.  
  
 4.7 Termination Right.

  
 (a) Strategic may Terminate this Agreement as follows:

Remove Objections, or elects not to do so, in accordance with Section 4.3, in which event Strategic will be entitled to the return of the Deposit. 
  
 (ii) At any time prior to the Closing, in accordance with Section 8, in which case Strategic shall be entitled to the return of the
Deposit. 
  
 (iii) If (x) the Existing Partners

other of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement, and such default continues for ten (10) Business Days after the date of receipt of written notice from Strategic demanding cure and the failure to perform such covenants or obligations is
likely to have a material adverse effect on the Property or Strategic, in which case Strategic shall be entitled to the return of the Deposit.  
  
 (b) Partnership may Terminate this Agreement prior to the Closing: 
  
 (i) If Strategic does not make the Subsequent Deposit when due in accordance with Section 3.1; 

 
 (ii) At any time prior to the Closing, in accordance with

 (iii) If Strategic defaults in its
observance or performance of any of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement, and such default continues for ten (10) Business Days after the date of receipt of written notice from Partnership demanding cure and the failure to perform such
covenants or obligations is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Property, assets or Business of the Partnership or either of the Existing Partners. 
  

 7

Contribution Agreement in accordance with its terms, and the Deposit shall be returned if it is to be returned under such Miami Contribution Agreement. 
  
 (d) If the Partnership or Strategic Terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.7(a) or 4.7(b), then the parties shall have no further rights or

complied with by the Partnership: 
  
 5.1 No
Alteration of Title. Partnership shall not transfer or further alter or encumber in any way Partnership’s title to the Real Property as it exists as of the Effective Date without written notice to, and the prior written consent of,
Strategic. If Strategic fails to object in writing to any such proposed instrument within three (3) Business Days after receipt of the aforementioned notice, Strategic shall be deemed to have approved the proposed instrument.

Partnership desires to (i) enter into any new Lease, (ii) cancel, modify, amend, extend or renew any existing Lease, (iii) consent to any assignment or sublease of any Lease, or (iv) accept any prepayment of rent (more than thirty (30) days in
advance) under any Lease, Partnership shall deliver to Strategic written notice of such action, which notice shall contain information regarding the proposed action that Partnership believes is reasonably necessary to enable Strategic to make
informed decisions with respect to the advisability of the proposed action. Partnership shall not be entitled to take such action without prior written consent from Strategic, which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed (and if no response by Strategic is made within three (3) Business Days after Strategic’s receipt of such request and all documents related thereto, such consent shall be deemed to have been granted). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Partnership shall not be required to provide notice or obtain Strategic’s consent with respect to Leases that can be terminated, without penalty, upon thirty (30) days (or less) written notice.

shall contain information regarding the proposed action that Partnership believes is reasonably necessary to enable Strategic to make informed decisions with respect to the advisability of the proposed action. Except for Contracts that can be
terminated, without penalty, upon thirty (30) days (or less) written notice from the owner of the Property, Partnership shall not be entitled to take such action without Strategic’s prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed (and if no response by Strategic is made within three (3) Business Days after Strategic’s receipt of such request and all 
  

 8 

 documents related thereto, such consent shall be deemed to have been granted); upon delivery of written or deemed
consent, such Contract or modification thereof shall thereupon be included within the definition of “Contracts” set forth herein. Partnership shall promptly provide Strategic with true, correct and complete copies of any Contract,
modification, or amendment entered into by Partnership. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, without any requirement for notice to or consent from Strategic, Partnership may, but shall not be obligated to, pursue any of
its legal rights to enforce any Contract. 
  
 5.4
Status of Property. Between the Effective Date and Closing, Partnership shall maintain and keep the Property in a manner consistent with Partnership’s past practices with respect to the Property; provided, however,
that, in light of Strategic’s right to conduct Due Diligence, Strategic hereby agrees that Strategic shall accept the Property subject to, and Partnership shall have no obligation to cure, (a) any violations of Laws regarding the physical
condition of the Property (subject to Section 7.1(M)), or (b) any physical conditions that would give rise to violations of Laws, whether the same now exist or arise prior to Closing (subject to Section 7.1(M)). 
  
 5.5 Tax Appeals. Whether before or after the Closing,
the Existing Partners shall have the right to continue and to control the progress of and to make all decisions with respect to any contest of the real estate taxes and Personal Property taxes for the Property due and payable during the Closing Tax

Section 6.8. 
  
 5.6 Personal Property.
Partnership shall not remove any of the Personal Property from the Real Property, nor use any of the Personal Property prior to the Closing Date, except such removal or use thereof as is normal and customary in the operation and maintenance of the
Property. Partnership covenants that items of Personal Property that consist of common area furniture and furnishings, common area artwork and supplies and maintenance items shall be maintained at Partnership’s customary level of quality.

	 	(a)	Operate the Business in the regular and ordinary course of business consistent with past practices; 

  

	 	(b)	Maintain the Real Property and Personal Property in its present order and condition, reasonable wear and use excepted and maintain all policies of insurance covering the Real

required to be filed by Partnership after taking into account any extensions of time granted by any taxing authorities; and 

  

 9 

	 	(e)	Use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve the goodwill and patronage of the customers, Hotel Employees, suppliers of the Business and others having a material business
relationship with Partnership. 

  
 5.8 Access
and Information. In addition to the inspection rights set forth in Section 4.2, and subject to the confidentiality restrictions set forth in Section 10.2 hereof, Partnership shall afford to Strategic and its Representatives, reasonable
access to the offices, properties, books, contracts, commitments and records of Partnership, insofar as the same relate to the Business and the Property, and shall furnish such Persons with all information (including financial and operating data)
concerning the Business and the Property as they reasonably may request. Requests for such information shall be coordinated with Partnership’s designated Representatives, shall take place during normal business hours and shall not interfere
unreasonably with Partnership’s ability to operate the Hotel and the Business. Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Strategic and its Representatives in their examination. Strategic shall comply with all provisions of
Section 4.2 in exercising such additional access rights. 
  
 5.9 Exceptions. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, at any time prior to the Closing Date the Partnership may take actions outside the ordinary course of business as indicated on Schedule
5.9.  
  
 5.10 Existing Management

release the Partnership from all liability under such management agreements.

 A. Real Estate Taxes and Assessments. All unpaid ad valorem

number of days through the Closing Date. All ad valorem real estate and personal property taxes, and any sales taxes with respect to Rental Payments, applicable to the Property for the Closing Tax Year (regardless of the year for which such taxes
are assessed) that have been paid by the Partnership prior to Closing shall be prorated as of the Closing Proration Time based on the whole number of days from and including January 1, 2005 and through the Closing Date. All installments of special
assessments due and payable prior to the Closing Date shall be for the account of the Pre-Amendment Partnership and all installments of special assessments due and payable on and after the Closing Date shall be for the account of the Post-Amendment
Partnership; provided, however, that the Pre-Amendment Partnership shall not be required by the foregoing to pay any installments of special assessments which have not been confirmed or which relate to projects that have not been
completed on the Effective Date. If tax bills are not available on the Closing Date, taxes shall be prorated at Closing based upon the tax bills for the Tax Year last issued, or, if available, based upon the current assessed valuation and current
millage rates, and in such event the Existing Partners and Strategic shall reprorate the taxes, as actual or final tax bills are available, in accordance with Section 6.10. If the Property has been assessed for property tax purposes at such rates as
would result in reassessment (such as an “escape assessment” or “roll-back taxes”) based upon the change in use, occupancy or ownership of the Property on or after the Closing Date, the Post-Amendment Partnership hereby agrees to
pay all such taxes.

proration. The Partnership will execute any assignment or other documentation necessary to 
  

 14 

 accomplish same. Accounts Receivable payments received by the Partnership after the Closing Date shall be
applied first to the most recent outstanding invoices or sums due for such account. Any such Accounts Receivable payments attributable to periods prior to the Closing shall be for the sole benefit of the Existing Partners. 
  
 (ii) Booking Deposits. Advance payments and deposits,
if any, for Bookings that relate to a period after the Closing Proration Time shall be allocated to the Post-Amendment Partnership. The Post-Amendment Partnership shall assume and honor for its account all Bookings relating to dates after the
Closing Proration Time provided that Partnership provides a written account to Strategic of all such Bookings at the Closing. 
  
 (iii) Vending Machines. Vending machine monies as of the Closing Proration Time shall be allocated for the sole benefit of the
Pre-Amendment Partnership. 
  
 (iv) Petty
Cash. Pre-Amendment Partnership shall be allocated at Closing all petty cash funds and cash in the Hotel’s house banks at 100% of face value at the Closing Proration Time. 
  
 C. Rental Payments. All (i) Rental Payments received by Partnership prior to Closing; and (ii) all rent and
other charges payable pursuant to any ground lease affecting the Property, shall be prorated as of the Closing Proration Time, with all such amounts attributable to periods prior to the Closing Proration Time for the account of the Pre-Amendment
Partnership and all such amounts attributable to periods after to the Closing Proration Time for the account of the Post-Amendment Partnership. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any percentage rents received prior to Closing under any of the Leases
shall be prorated as of the Closing Proration Time based on the number of days in the applicable Lease year, with all amounts attributable to days prior to the Closing Proration Time for the account of the Pre-Amendment Partnership and amounts
attributable to days after the Closing Proration Time for the account of the Post-Amendment Partnership, all subject to reproration in accordance with Section 6.10. 
  
 D. Security Deposits. All utility or other security deposits made by the Pre-Amendment Partnership shall be
assigned to the Post-Amendment Partnership (or Property LLC or Michigan, LLC, as applicable) and such amounts shall be allocated to the account of the Pre-Amendment Partnership. Any utility or other security deposits made by the Pre-Amendment
Partnership that cannot be so assigned shall be returned to and retained by the Existing Partners and any replacement utility or other deposits required shall be the responsibility of the Post-Amendment Partnership (or Property LLC or Michigan, LLC,
as applicable). 
  
 E. Utility Expenses. Water,
sewer, gas, waste fee, fire protection, electric and all other utility expenses and payments due or made with respect to the Property shall be prorated as of the Closing Proration Time (except for those utility charges and operating expenses payable
by Tenants in accordance with the Leases). 
  
 F. Hotel
Consumables. The Consumables will be addressed in accordance with Section 6.11(C), but will not be subject to any proration.  
  

 15 

 G. Other Liabilities. All other identifiable and ascertainable Partnership Liabilities that
have accrued prior to Closing, including payments due or owing under any Contracts and any fees as to which periodic payments are made for applicable licenses and Permits, if any, shall be prorated as of the Closing Proration Time. All Contract
deposits, security deposits or other security obtained or held by Partnership, if any, shall be retained by (or if applicable, assigned or transferred to) the Post-Amendment Partnership (or Property LLC or Michigan, LLC, as applicable). In addition,
a credit shall be given to the Post-Amendment Partnership for the principal amount of, and any accrued interest on, indebtedness of the Pre-Amendment Partnership existing at Closing that will not be paid immediately after Closing as contemplated by
the Partnership Agreement (if any). 
  
 H. Closing
Financing. Strategic is to arrange Qualified Financing for the Partnership as provided herein, and the gross amount of the financing incurred by the Partnership on or about Closing shall be treated for the purposes of the prorations as a
credit to the Post-Amendment Partnership, which shall have the effect of reducing the Contribution Amount. For example, if the value of the Property was $100, the Strategic Contribution Amount $85, the amount borrowed by the Partnership on or about
Closing $75, and the net proration amount for the benefit of the Post-Amendment Partnership $5, the net Contribution Amount to be made by Strategic to the Partnership at Closing would be $17 which is $85 less 85% of the sum of $75 and $5 (i.e.,
$68). 
  
 I. Insurance. All insurance policies
pertaining to the Property or the Partnership prior to Closing shall remain solely with the Existing Partners and shall not be assigned or otherwise transferred to the Post-Amendment Partnership, Property LLC, or Michigan Avenue, LLC and no pre-paid
insurance premiums shall be prorated. 
  
 6.9
Proration Statement and Schedules. On or before five (5) days prior to the Closing Date, Partnership shall deliver to Strategic and Management LLC a current proration schedule of the items and amounts to be prorated as set forth in
Section 6.8, and a draft settlement statement for the Transaction, prepared as if the Transaction were a sale of assets. 
  
 A. Strategic Contribution Amount Adjustments. If as a result of such prorations the net amount allocable to the account of the Post-Amendment
Partnership is greater than the net amount allocable to the account of the Pre-Amendment Partnership, the Contribution Amount due from Strategic at Closing shall be decreased by eighty-five percent (85%) of the difference between the net amount
allocated to the Post-Amendment Partnership less the net amount allocated to the Pre-Amendment Partnership. If as a result of such prorations the net amount allocable to the account of the Pre-Amendment Partnership is greater than the net amount
allocable to the account of the Post-Amendment Partnership, the Contribution Amount due from Strategic at Closing shall be increased by eighty-five percent (85%) of the difference between the net amount allocated to the Pre-Amendment Partnership and
the net amount allocated to the Post-Amendment Partnership. 
  
 B. Management LLC Contribution Amount Adjustments. If as a result of such prorations the net amount allocable to the account of the Post-Amendment Partnership is greater than the net amount allocable to the account of the
Pre-Amendment Partnership, the Contribution Amount due from Management LLC at Closing shall be decreased by one percent 

  

 16 

 (1%) of the difference between the net amount allocated to the Post-Amendment Partnership less the net amount allocated
to the Pre-Amendment Partnership. If as a result of such prorations the net amount allocable to the account of the Pre-Amendment Partnership is greater than the net amount allocable to the account of the Post-Amendment Partnership, the Contribution
Amount due from Management LLC at Closing shall be increased by one percent (1%) of the difference between the net amount allocated to the Pre-Amendment Partnership and the net amount allocated to the Post-Amendment Partnership. 
  
 6.10 Reproration After Closing. The provisions of Section 6
shall survive the Closing. If the actual amounts of any of the aforesaid proration items are unavailable as of the Closing Date, then such proration shall be made on the basis of an amount reasonably estimated by Strategic and the Existing Partners
at Closing and Strategic and the Existing Partners shall thereupon reprorate such items at such times as the exact amounts for such proration items become available. If an amount is owed to the Pre-Amendment Partnership as a result of such
reproration adjustment, eighty-five percent (85%) of such amount shall be payable by Strategic to the Existing Partners. If an amount is owed to the Post-Amendment Partnership as a result of such reproration adjustment, eighty-five percent (85%) of
such amount shall be payable by the Existing Partners to Strategic. Alternatively, Strategic, the Existing Partners and Management LLC may give effect to this provision by adjustments to the Capital Account(s) of the applicable party(ies) in
accordance with the provisions of the Partnership Agreement provided it has the same economic effect. 
  
 6.11 Other Costs. 
  
 A. Change of Ownership Costs. Except as otherwise provided herein, all costs associated with the change of ownership of the Property
contemplated hereby in the nature of costs associated with the transfer or assignment of any liquor licenses and other Permits, obtaining new liquor licenses or permits where required, the transfer or assignment of applicable software licenses (not
including Excluded Software) or obtaining replacement software licenses, where applicable, and similar items, and such other costs outlined in Schedule 6.11 attached hereto, shall be the responsibility of the Post-Amendment Partnership
and allocable among the partners of the Post-Amendment Partnership in accordance with their respective Partnership Interests as evidenced by the Partnership Agreement, provided, however, that the Existing Partners will cause the foregoing
assignments to be approved without charge or expense as to any licenses or agreements with IHG Affiliates. 
  
 B. Capital Expenditures Funding. Strategic, Management LLC and the Existing Partners agree to make an initial contribution into the Reserve
Account to pay for FF&E replacements in the Closing Tax Year in the amount and pursuant to the terms set forth in the Partnership Agreement. The Existing Partners, Management LLC and Strategic agree that $572,157.00 of Strategic’s
Contribution Amount, which represents payment of the amounts in excess of the 2005 Minimum Capital Replacement Funds required to fund the Existing Partners and Management LLC’s agreed upon portion of the difference between the 2005 Capital
Replacements Budget and the 2005 FF&E Reserve (as such terms are defined in the Management Agreement), shall be retained in the Post-Amendment Partnership pursuant to Section 3.1(g) of the Partnership Agreement. Such amount will not be subject
to proration. The Existing Partners will cause the improvements and replacements described in Schedule 6.11(B) to be completed prior to Closing. 
  

 17 

 C. Consumables Funding. An actual inventory of the unopened cases of Consumables shall be taken
the day preceding the Closing Date (or such other date as the parties hereto may reasonably agree upon). The value attributable to such unopened cases of Consumables shall be as disclosed by Partnership’s books; provided, however, if no cost is
ascertainable with respect to particular Consumables on Partnership’s books, the first in, first out method of valuation shall be used (the “Consumables Value”). Consumables for purposes of this valuation shall not include Consumables
stocked in the guest rooms of the hotel or not in unopened cases on the Closing Date. At Closing, Strategic shall contribute an amount equal to eighty-five percent (85%) of the Consumables Value to Strategic TRS Lessee and the Existing Partners and
Management LLC shall contribute an amount equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the Consumables Value to Strategic TRS Lessee.

 7.2 Partnership’s Warranties Deemed Modified. Because Strategic’s primary reliance on the status of the matters addressed
by Partnership’s Warranties is its own Due Diligence, to the extent that Strategic has or obtains Knowledge prior to the applicable Due Diligence Deadline (with respect to matters covered by Objections) or the Effective Date for all 

 

 23 

 other matters that Partnership’s Warranties are inaccurate, untrue or incorrect in any way, such Partnership’s
Warranties, and any Representation Exception Schedule applicable thereto, shall, if Closing occurs, be deemed modified to reflect Strategic’s Knowledge. In addition, Partnership’s Warranties are made and given subject to the disclosures
contained in the applicable Representation Exception Schedule(s). The Partnership shall not be deemed to be in breach of any Partnership’s Warranties (and no claim shall lie in respect thereof) in respect of any such matter so disclosed in the
applicable Representation Exception Schedule. Where brief particulars only of a matter are set out or referred to in the applicable Representation Exception Schedule(s), or a reference is made to a particular part only of a disclosed document, full
particulars of the matter and the full contents of the document are deemed to be disclosed. The specific disclosures set forth in the applicable Representation Exception Schedule(s) have been organized by Partnership to correspond to section
references in this Agreement to which the disclosure may be most likely to relate, but such disclosure shall also be deemed to be exceptions to or modifications or qualifications of other Partnership’s Warranties contained herein to the extent
such disclosures are expressly referenced or Strategic Knew such disclosures were applicable. In the event that there is any inconsistency between this Agreement and matters disclosed in the Representation Exception Schedules, information contained
in the Representation Exception Schedules shall prevail and shall be deemed to be the relevant disclosure. 
  
 7.3 Claims of Breach Prior to Closing. If at or prior to the Closing, Partnership obtains Knowledge that any Partnership’s
Warranty is or has become untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect, Partnership shall give Strategic written notice thereof within ten (10) Business Days of obtaining such Knowledge (but, in any event, prior to the Closing) and
Partnership shall have the right to cure such misrepresentation or breach and shall be entitled to a reasonable adjournment of the Closing (not to exceed ten (10) Business Days) to attempt such cure. If, after the applicable Due Diligence Deadline
(with respect to matters covered by Objections) or the Effective Date (for all other matters) but prior to the Closing, Strategic or any of Strategic’s Representatives obtain Knowledge that any Partnership’s Warranty is or has become
untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect, and Strategic gives Partnership written notice thereof within five (5) Business Days of obtaining such Knowledge (but, in any event, prior to the Closing), the Existing Partners shall have the
right to cure such misrepresentation or breach and shall be entitled to a reasonable adjournment of the Closing (not to exceed ten (10) days) to attempt such cure. If Strategic fails to notify Partnership on or prior to the Closing Date of
Strategic’s Knowledge that any Partnership’s Warranty is or has become untrue, inaccurate or incorrect, then Strategic shall be deemed to waive such breach of Partnership’s Warranties. With respect to any breach of Partnership’s
Warranties described herein that is not cured by Partnership or waived by Strategic in accordance with the foregoing, Strategic shall have the following remedies: (i) if such breach of Partnership’s Warranties has a material adverse effect,
then Strategic may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, (x) Terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit and (y) in the case of a willful or intentional breach of Partnership’s Warranties by one of the Existing Partners, seek
indemnification from the Existing Partners pursuant to Section 11.3(i) (provided such indemnity shall not in such event be subject to the Threshold Amount limitation set forth in Section 11.7) for any Losses incurred by Strategic after Closing in
connection with such breached Partnership’s Warranties, subject to the Strategic Costs Cap; or (ii) if such breach of Partnership’s Warranties does not have a material adverse effect, then Strategic shall not have the right to Terminate
this Agreement, but shall be obligated to proceed with Closing, and in such event Strategic’s sole and 
  

 24 

 exclusive remedy shall be to obtain for its own benefit indemnification pursuant to Section 11.3(i) (provided such
indemnity shall not in such event be subject to the Threshold Amount limitation set forth in Section 11.7) for any Losses incurred by Strategic after Closing in connection with such breached Partnership’s Warranties. The untruth, inaccuracy or
incorrectness of Partnership’s Warranties shall be deemed to have a material adverse effect only if Strategic’s damages resulting from the untruth, inaccuracy or incorrectness of Partnership’s Warranties are in excess of Seven Hundred
Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($750,000.00). 
  
 7.4 Survival and Limits on Strategic’s Claims. Partnership’s Warranties shall survive the Closing for a period of one (1) year and the Existing Partners shall only be liable to Strategic hereunder for a breach
of Partnership’s Warranties made herein or in any of the documents executed by Partnership at the Closing with respect to which a claim is made by Strategic against the Existing Partners in writing on or before one (1) year after the date of
the Closing and subject to all other provisions of this Agreement. Other than Strategic’s right to Terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.3, Strategic’s sole remedy for a breach of Partnership’s Warranties is to seek
indemnification in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions of Section 11.3(i) and subject to the limitations set forth therein and in Section 11.7. 
  
 7.5 Strategic’s Representations and Warranties. Strategic, at to itself or as to a Strategic Affiliate, as the case may be, as of the
date of the execution of this Agreement by Strategic, represents and warrants to Partnership as follows, and as a condition precedent to Partnership’s obligation to consummate the Transaction at Closing pursuant to the terms of this Agreement,
the following representations of Strategic shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date: 
  
 A. Organization, Power and Authority. Strategic is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of
the state of its organization and has all necessary power to execute and deliver this Agreement and perform all its obligations hereunder. Strategic has the full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and the execution and delivery of this
Agreement by Strategic (i) has been duly and validly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Strategic, (ii) does not conflict with or result in a violation of Strategic’s articles or by-laws or any judgment, order or decree of any
court or arbiter in any proceeding to which Strategic is a party, and (iii) does not conflict with or constitute a material breach of, or constitute a material default under, any contract, agreement or other instrument by which Strategic is bound or
to which it is a party. There are no lawsuits filed or served against Strategic or, to Strategic’s Knowledge, otherwise pending or threatened the outcome of which could adversely affect Strategic’s ability to pay the Contribution Amount
and receive the Partnership Interest or otherwise perform its obligations under this Agreement. 
  
 B. No Bankruptcy. Strategic has not (A) commenced a voluntary case, or had entered against it a petition, for relief under any
federal bankruptcy act or any similar petition, order or decree under any federal or state Law relative to bankruptcy, insolvency or other relief for debtors, (B) caused, suffered or consented to the appointment of a receiver, trustee,
administrator, conservator, liquidator or similar official in any federal, state or foreign judicial or non-judicial proceeding, to hold, administer and/or liquidate all or substantially all of its assets, or (C) made an assignment for the benefit
of creditors.

 C. Sophisticated Investor. Strategic, or Strategic Affiliate, as the case may be, is an
experienced investor that specializes in the investment in and ownership and operation of hotel properties in geographically diverse markets. As such, Strategic or Strategic Affiliate is a sophisticated real estate owner, investor and manager with
particular experience in the acquisition, ownership and operation of hotels similar to the Hotel. Strategic or Strategic Affiliate, as the case may be, warrants and represents that it has the ability through its own employees, or through agents,
independent contractors, consultants or other experts with whom it has a relationship, to evaluate fully the investment characteristics of the Partnership Interest and the Hotel and to assess fully all issues pertaining to title to the Real
Property, the value of the Property, the rights and liabilities of Partnership under any management agreements, the past performance of the Hotel, the projected performance of the Hotel, the structural integrity and soundness of all improvements and
structures located on the Real Property, the environmental condition of the Real Property, the compliance of the Hotel and the operation and management thereof with all Laws and the structure and organization of the Partnership. Accordingly,
Strategic as to itself, or as to a Strategic Affiliate warrants and represents that, except for the representations and warranties expressly made by Partnership or the Existing Partners in this Agreement, Strategic or Strategic Affiliate has not and
will not rely upon any warranty, representation, statement of fact, or other information made by or furnished by or on behalf of Partnership or Existing Partners or any of their Affiliates, but is relying solely on its own investigations,
assessments, evaluations, and those of its own employees, agents, independent contractors, consultants, and other experts with whom it is dealing in connection with this Transaction. 
  
 D. Investment Intention; No Resales. Strategic is acquiring the Partnership Interest to be acquired
hereunder for the purpose of investment and not with the present intention of, or for resale in connection with, the distribution thereof, and not with any present intention of distributing such Partnership Interest and has no present plan or
intention to Sell any of the Partnership Interest acquired by it pursuant to any of the transactions contemplated hereby. For this purpose, the term “Sell” means to sell, exchange, contribute, distribute or otherwise dispose of, to pledge
or otherwise encumber, or to enter into a short sale, equity swap, option or other risk-reducing transaction with respect to, the Partnership Interest. Strategic acknowledges that any direct or indirect offer, transfer, sale, assignment, pledge,
hypothecation or other disposition of any such Partnership Interest shall be subject to the provisions of the Partnership Agreement. 
  
 E. Partnership Interest Unregistered; Accredited Investor. Strategic has been advised that (x) the offer and issuance of the Partnership
Interest has not been registered under the Securities Act, (y) the Partnership Interest being purchased by Strategic hereunder may need to be held indefinitely and (z) there is no established market for the Partnership Interest and it is not
anticipated that there will be any such market for the Partnership Interest in the foreseeable future. Strategic as to itself, or as to a Strategic Affiliate represents and warrants that: (i) Strategic or Strategic Affiliate is an
“Accredited Investor” under Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act; (ii) Strategic’s or Strategic Affiliate’s knowledge and experience in financial and business matters are such that Strategic is capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in such Partnership Interest, or Strategic or Strategic Affiliate has been advised by a Representative possessing such knowledge and experience; (iii) Strategic, Strategic Affiliate and
Strategic’s Representatives, including Strategic’s professional, financial, tax and other advisors, if any, have carefully considered the proposed investment by Strategic in the Partnership Interest, and Strategic or Strategic Affiliate
understands and has taken 
  

 26 

 cognizance of (or has been advised by its representatives as to) the risk factors related to the acquisition of such
Partnership Interest, and no representations or warranties have been made to Strategic, Strategic Affiliate or their Representatives concerning the Partnership Interest, the Partnership or the Partnership’s business, operations, financial
condition or prospects or other matters except as set forth herein; (iv) in making its decision to purchase the Partnership Interest being purchased by it hereunder, Strategic and Strategic Affiliate has relied upon independent investigations made
by Strategic and Strategic Affiliate and, to the extent believed by Strategic and Strategic Affiliate to be appropriate, Strategic’s Representatives, including Strategic’s professional, financial, tax and other advisors, if any; (v)
Strategic, Strategic Affiliate and their Representatives have been given the opportunity to request to examine all Documents of, and to ask questions of, and to receive answers from, Partnership and its Representatives concerning the terms and
conditions of the acquisition of the Partnership Interest being purchased by Strategic hereunder and to obtain any additional information which Strategic or its Representatives deem necessary; and (vi) Strategic acknowledges that Partnership is
entering into this Agreement in reliance upon Strategic’s representations and warranties set forth herein. 
  
 F. Covenant Regarding Financing Arrangements. Strategic covenants to Partnership that it will obtain Qualified Financing from an
Institutional Investor prior to Closing; provided, however, in no event shall any such Institutional Investor obtain any Partnership Interest in the Partnership or the Post-Amendment Partnership or any controlling interest in Strategic (other than
that which would arise in connection with a pledge of Strategic’s Partnership Interest or a pledge of interests in Strategic that is not prohibited by the Partnership Agreement) as a result of such financing; and provided, further, that in no
event shall Strategic have the right to Terminate this Agreement or seek a return of the Deposit as a result of its inability to secure Qualified Financing. Strategic shall advise the Partnership as to all material aspects of the structuring of any
such Qualified Financing and shall take into account the reasonable advice of the Partnership with respect to same. Strategic and Partnership acknowledge and agree that Strategic’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Section 7.5(F)
shall be deemed to be a Partnership Material Adverse Effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Strategic, using commercially reasonable efforts, is unable to obtain or close the funding of Qualified Financing by the Closing Deadline,
Strategic shall have the right to extend the Closing Deadline for up to thirty (30) days as necessary to obtain and close the funding of such Qualified Financing.  
  
 8. Casualty and Condemnation. If after the Effective Date and prior to the Closing Date, any portion of
the improvements is materially damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, or there shall be commenced or instituted against the Real Property any Condemnation Proceeding, Partnership shall promptly give written notice of such event to
Strategic, and the following provisions shall apply notwithstanding the contrary terms of any applicable Laws with respect to the subject matter of Section 8: 
  

8.1 Major Event. If (i) such damage or destruction results in a casualty loss in excess of Two Million and no/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00)
and such damage or destruction is not capable of being substantially cured within three (3) months, in each case as reasonably determined by Partnership, or Partnership elects not to so cure, or (ii) such Condemnation Proceeding would result in the
taking of a portion of the Real Property worth in excess of Two Million and no/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00) and such Condemnation Proceeding is not capable of being dismissed within three (3) months, in each case as reasonably determined by
Partnership, or Partnership elects not to contest such Condemnation Proceeding, then Strategic 
  

 27 

 and Partnership shall each have the right to Terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other party given no later
than ten (10) Business Days after Partnership gives notice of such event, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Strategic, provided that the Closing Date shall be extended, if necessary, to provide sufficient time for Strategic to make
such election, and provided that in such event in lieu of termination by Strategic or Partnership, Strategic may elect to take subject to such casualty or condemnation and proceed to Closing with the Partnership receiving any insurance or
condemnation proceeds, as applicable (“Event Waiver”). The failure by Strategic or Partnership to so elect in writing to Terminate this Agreement within such period shall be deemed an election not to Terminate this Agreement.

  
 8.2 Closing Despite Casualty/Condemnation. If a
casualty or Condemnation Proceeding occurs and neither Strategic nor Partnership Terminates this Agreement on account thereof in accordance with Section 8.1, then the Closing shall take place as contemplated in Section 6 of this Agreement. If the
Closing occurs despite such casualty or Condemnation Proceeding, unless due to an Event Waiver, (i) the parties shall agree on reasonable measures to cure or dismiss such casualty or Condemnation Proceeding post-Closing in accordance with the
provisions of the Management Agreement and the Partnership Agreement, (ii) the Existing Partners shall be responsible for the costs of any such agreed upon repair, restoration or dismissal action, and (iii) in addition, notwithstanding anything to
the contrary set forth herein, the Existing Partners shall be responsible for maintaining its existing policy(ies) of business interruption insurance during the pendency of any such casualty restoration or condemnation proceeding such that the
Partnership receives the proceeds thereof.

the contrary set forth herein, Partnership and Strategic acknowledge and agree that the Transaction described herein and the transaction described in the Miami Contribution Agreement must Close simultaneously and that any extension of the Closing

 10. Transaction Issues: Brokers, Confidentiality and Indemnity. 
  
 10.1 Brokers. Each party represents to the other that such party has not incurred any obligation to any broker with respect to the
Transaction except for the Broker, which obligations have been incurred pursuant to a separate agreement with such Broker 

  

 29 

 executed in connection with the Transaction. The Existing Partners shall, upon the Closing of this Transaction pay to the
Broker the appropriate commission pursuant to the terms of the brokerage agreement with Broker. Except for Broker and such commission payable as set forth above, the Existing Partners, Strategic and Management LLC each hereby (a) represent and
warrant to the other that it has not employed, retained or consulted any broker, agent, or finder in carrying on a negotiation in connection with this Agreement or the Transaction, and (b) indemnify and agree to hold the other harmless from and
against any and all claims, demands, causes of action, debts, liabilities, judgments and damages (including costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred in connection with the enforcement of this indemnity) which may be asserted or
recovered against the indemnified party on account of any brokerage fee, commission or other compensation arising by reason of the Indemnitor’s breach of this representation and warranty. This paragraph shall survive the Closing or any
termination of this Agreement. 
  
 10.2
Confidentiality. Except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law, Strategic and the Partnership shall each use the other’s Confidential Materials only in connection with the purposes of this Agreement and shall make such
Confidential Materials available only to its Representatives having a “need to know” with respect to such purpose. Each of Strategic and the Partnership shall advise each such Representative of such party’s obligations under this
Agreement. Except to the extent contemplated by this Agreement, the Confidential Materials and all rights to the Confidential Materials which have been or will be provided by Partnership to Strategic shall remain the exclusive world-wide property of
Partnership prior to the Closing Date and shall be held in trust by Strategic for the benefit of Partnership. None of the parties will, directly or indirectly, deal with, use, exploit, or disclose such Confidential Materials to any Person or entity
for any purpose prior to the Closing Date, except as described herein or unless and until expressly authorized in writing to do so by the other. If the transactions contemplated hereby are not consummated, each party will return or destroy as much
of such written Confidential Materials as the party furnishing such Confidential Materials shall reasonably request. The restrictions of this Section 10.2 shall terminate on the Closing Date, and thereafter, the Confidential Materials (other than
Employee Information and information regarding Pre-Amendment Partnership’s operating costs or similar financial information pertaining to Partnership’s pre-Closing management of the Hotel and Property that are not reasonably needed by the
Partnership in connection with the ongoing ownership and operation of the Hotel) may be used by the Post-Amendment Partnership free of any restriction imposed by this Agreement. Partnership and Strategic will consult with each other before issuing
any press releases or otherwise making any public statements or filings with governmental entities with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not issue any press releases or make any public statements or filings
with governmental entities prior to such consultation and shall modify any portion thereof if the other party reasonably objects thereto, unless the same may be required by applicable Law. 
  
 10.3 Indemnity. Strategic hereby agrees to indemnify, defend,
and hold Partnership and each of the other Partnership Parties free and harmless from and against any and all Losses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) arising out of or resulting from (a) the breach of the terms
of Section 10.2 or (b) the entry on the Real Property and/or the conduct of any Due Diligence by it or any of its Representatives at any time prior to the Closing; provided, however, that Strategic’s obligations under this clause (b) shall not
apply to the mere discovery of an pre-existing environmental or physical condition at the Real Property. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the Closing (and not be merged therein) or any earlier termination of this Agreement. 
  

 30 

 11. Default At or Prior to Closing. 
  
 11.1 Strategic Default. If Partnership, the Existing Partners
or Management LLC terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.7(b)(iii) by written notice to Strategic of such termination, Partnership shall receive payment of the Deposit as full liquidated damages for such default of Strategic and Escrow
Agent shall deliver such payment within five (5) Business Days after such demand of Partnership, the parties hereto acknowledging the difficulty of ascertaining the actual damages in the event of such a default, that it is impossible more precisely
to estimate the damages to be suffered by Partnership, Existing Partners, or Management LLC upon Strategic’s default, that such forfeiture of the Deposit is intended not as a penalty, but as full liquidated damages and that such amount
constitutes a reasonable good faith estimate of the potential damages arising therefrom. Except with respect to the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 10.3 of this Agreement, the right to Terminate this Agreement and receive payment of
the Deposit as full liquidated damages, are Partnership’s, Existing Partners’, and Management LLC’s sole and exclusive remedies in the event of default hereunder by Strategic, and Partnership, Existing Partners, or Management LLC
hereby waives, relinquishes and releases any and all other rights and remedies (except, if Closing occurs, any that survive Closing or termination pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement), including, but not limited to: (1) any right to
sue Strategic for damages or to prove that Partnership’s, Existing Partners’, or Management LLC’s actual damages exceed the Deposit which is hereby provided as full liquidated damages, (2) any right to sue Strategic for specific
performance, or (3) any other right or remedy which Partnership, Existing Partners, or Management LLC may otherwise have against Strategic, either at law, or equity or otherwise. 
  
 11.2 Partnership Default. If Partnership, Management LLC or either of the Existing Partners defaults in the
observance or performance of its covenants and obligations hereunder at or prior to Closing of the Transaction, and such default continues for the greater of ten (10) Business Days after the date of receipt of written notice from Strategic demanding
cure of such default, or the expiration of other applicable cure periods set forth in this Agreement, if Strategic does not exercise its right to Terminate pursuant to Section 4.7(a)(iii), then provided such suit is filed within thirty (30) days of
the Closing Deadline, Strategic shall be entitled to sue Partnership, the Existing Partners and/or Management LLC for specific performance of this Agreement and immediately receive a return of the Deposit. Strategic shall have no right of specific
performance after Closing. Except with respect to any right, obligation or liability which survives the Closing, including any indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement, and except with respect to those remedies granted to Strategic
pursuant to Section 4.7(a)(iii) and Section 7.3, Strategic’s right to sue for specific performance is Strategic’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event of default hereunder by Partnership, the Existing Partners or Management LLC, and
Strategic hereby waives, relinquishes and releases any and all other rights and remedies (except any that survive Closing or termination pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement), including, but not limited to: (1) any right to sue for
damages, or (2) any other right or remedy which Strategic may otherwise have against Partnership, Management LLC or either of the Existing Partners at law, in equity or otherwise. Strategic agrees that its failure to timely commence an action for
specific performance within such the period noted above shall be deemed a waiver by it of its right to commence such an action for specific performance as well 
  

 31 

 as a waiver by it of any right it may have to file or record a notice of lis pendens or notice of pendency of
action or similar notice against any portion of the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Strategic exercises its right to Terminate pursuant to Section 4.7(a)(iii), nothing contained herein shall prevent Strategic from seeking to
recover its actual, documented out-of-pocket costs reasonably incurred by Strategic in connection the performance of its Due Diligence, its efforts to obtain Qualified Financing, including loan commitment fees, its efforts in entering into this
Agreement, and other similar costs or expenses incurred by Strategic in connection with its good faith efforts to close the Transaction in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, in no event shall such costs exceed, in the
aggregate (for Strategic and any applicable Strategic Affiliate) under this Agreement and the Miami Contribution Agreement, One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) (the “Strategic Costs Cap”). 
  
 11.3 Agreement of Existing Partners to Indemnify. Subject to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Existing Partners agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Strategic Indemnitees from and against any and all Losses asserted against, imposed upon or incurred by the Strategic Indemnitees
that arise out of (i) a breach of any Partnership’s Warranties (subject to Sections 7.2, 7.3 and 7.4); and (ii) Liabilities of the Partnership, i.e., both the Pre-Amendment Partnership and Post-Amendment Partnership, (including without
limitation those that arise out of the operation of the Business by the Partnership), accrued or accruing prior to the Closing Date, regardless of when the claim for such liability actually arises (but not including any amounts for which the
Post-Amendment Partnership received a credit pursuant to the prorations set forth in Section 6.8 (to the extent of such credit)); provided, however, that the Existing Partners shall have no liability under (a) Section 11.3(i) for Losses arising in
connection with breaches of Partnership’s Warranties that are expressly waived by Strategic or deemed waived pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or (b) Section 11.3(ii) for Losses arising out of matters (other than in connection with
Liabilities to third parties in connection therewith, e.g., slip and fall cases, amounts owed to contractors for work done prior to Closing) pertaining to the following: the physical condition of the Property, title to or the boundaries of the Real
Property, defects in title or survey relating to the physical condition of the Property, matters pertaining to the physical condition of the Property that could have reasonably been discovered during Due Diligence, pest control matters, soil
conditions, the presence, existence or absence of hazardous wastes, toxic substances or other environmental matters, compliance with building, health, safety, land use and zoning laws, regulations and orders (subject to Section 7.1(M)), structural
and other engineering characteristics, traffic patterns, market data, economic conditions or projections, the fitness of the Property for use as a hotel, the financial performance or potential of the Property and any other information pertaining to
the market and physical environments in which they are located. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, this provision shall survive the Closing as set forth in Section 11.7, but shall not survive any termination of this Agreement
if the Closing does not occur (except with respect to any indemnification under subsection (i) above for any willful or intentional breach of Partnership’s Warranties by the Existing Partners in accordance with Section 7.3).  

 
 11.4 Agreement of Strategic to Indemnify. Subject to the
terms and conditions of this Section 11, if Closing occurs Strategic agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Partnership Indemnitees from and against any and all Losses asserted against, imposed upon, or incurred by the Partnership
Indemnitees by reason of, resulting from, based upon, or arising out of the breach of any representation or warranty of Strategic contained in or this Agreement. 
  

 32 

 11.5 Procedures for Indemnification. To the extent that the Existing Partners are the
Indemnitor under an Indemnification Claim arising pursuant to Section 11.3 above, amounts required to be paid in respect of such Indemnification Claim will be paid to the Post-Amendment Partnership. If within thirty (30) days after the date on which
written notice of an Indemnification Claim arising pursuant to Section 11.3(ii) above has been given, the Indemnitor shall acknowledge in writing to the Indemnitee and without qualification its indemnification obligations as provided in Section
11.3(ii); then, except as hereinafter provided, the Indemnitee shall not, and the Indemnitor shall, have the right to (a) contest, defend, litigate or settle such Indemnification Claim, and (b) assert any counter-claim or cross-claim or otherwise
exercise any rights the Existing Partners or Partnership may have directly related to such Indemnification Claim and, to the extent it has made a payment to Indemnitee pursuant to its indemnification obligations in respect of such Indemnification
Claim, to retain any judgments, awards, settlements or other benefits procured in connection with any such action ((a) and (b) collectively, “Defend the Claim”) and the Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Indemnitor in connection
therewith, at Indemnitor’s expense. The Indemnitee shall have the right to be represented by counsel at its own expense in any such contest, defense, litigation or settlement conducted by the Indemnitor provided that the Indemnitee shall be
entitled to reimbursement therefor if the Indemnitor shall lose its right to contest, defend, litigate and settle such Indemnification Claim as herein provided. The Indemnitor shall lose its right to Defend the Claim if it shall fail to diligently
contest, defend, litigate or settle, in its sole and reasonable discretion, the Indemnification Claim. So long as the Indemnitor has not lost its right and/or obligation to Defend the Claim as herein provided, the Indemnitor shall have the exclusive
right to Defend the Claim and shall have the exclusive right, in its discretion exercised in good faith, and upon the advice of counsel, to settle any such matter, either before or after the initiation of litigation, at such time and upon such terms
as it deems fair and reasonable, provided that at least ten (10) days prior to any such settlement, written notice of its intention to settle shall be given to the Indemnitee, and provided that as to any such Indemnification Claim that is material,
the Indemnitor will provide such information as Indemnitee may from time to time reasonably request in connection therewith, consult with Indemnitee as to the contest, litigation and settlement relating to such Indemnification Claim, and in good
faith take into account Indemnitee’s advice and input in connection therewith. All expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Indemnitor in connection with the foregoing shall be paid by the Indemnitor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any settlement negotiated by an Indemnitor, no Indemnitee shall be required by an Indemnitor to (x) enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by
the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation, (y) enter into any settlement that attributes by its terms liability to the Indemnitee or (z) consent to the entry of any judgment
that does not include as a term thereof a full dismissal of the litigation or proceeding with prejudice. No failure by an Indemnitor to acknowledge in writing its indemnification obligations Section 11.3(ii) shall relieve it of such obligations to
the extent they exist. If an Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification against such an Indemnification Claim, and the Indemnitor fails to accept a tender of, or assume, the defense of a Indemnification Claim pursuant to its obligation under Section
11.3(ii), or if, in accordance with the foregoing, the Indemnitor shall lose its right to Defend the Claim, the Indemnitee shall have the right, without prejudice to its right of indemnification hereunder, in its discretion exercised in good faith
and 
  

 33 

 upon the advice of counsel, to Defend the Claim, and may settle such Indemnification Claim, either before or after the
initiation of litigation, at such time and upon such terms as the Indemnitee, in good faith, deems fair and reasonable, provided that at least ten (10) days prior to any such settlement, written notice of its intention to settle is given to the
Indemnitor. If, pursuant hereto, the Indemnitee so contests, defends, litigates or settles such an Indemnification Claim, for which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder as hereinabove provided, the Indemnitee shall be reimbursed by the
Indemnitor for the Indemnification Claim, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses of defending, contesting, litigating and/or settling such Indemnification Claim which are incurred from time to time, forthwith following the
presentation to the Indemnitor of itemized bills for said attorneys’ fees and other expenses. ] 
  
 11.6 Duration. The (i) indemnification rights of the parties hereto for Losses resulting from a breach of representations and warranties
contained herein are subject to the condition that the Indemnitor shall have received written notice of the Losses for which indemnity is sought within one (1) year after the Closing Date; and (ii) the indemnification rights of Strategic Indemnitees
under Section 11.3(ii) are subject to the condition that the Existing Partners shall have received written notice of the Losses for which indemnity is sought within twenty (20) years after the Closing Date. 
  
 11.7 Limitations. 
  
 (a) If the Closing occurs, the Indemnitor shall be obligated to indemnify
the Indemnitee only when the aggregate of all Losses suffered or incurred by the Indemnitee as to which a right of indemnification is provided under Section 11.3 or Section 11.4 exceeds the Threshold Amount. After the aggregate of all Losses
suffered or incurred by the Indemnitee exceeds the Threshold Amount, the Indemnitor shall be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee for all such Losses without reduction by the Threshold Amount. In no event shall the aggregate Liability of the
Existing Partners under Section 11.3, or the Liability of Strategic under Section 11.4, exceed the Partnership Maximum Amount. Notwithstanding the above, neither the Threshold Amount nor the Partnership Maximum Amount shall apply to the
indemnification rights of Strategic Indemnitees pursuant to Section 11.3(ii) or to any amounts due as a result of a reproration in accordance with Section 6.10. If the Closing does not occur, the aggregate Liability of the Existing Partners under
Section 11.3(i) for willful or intentional breaches of Partnership’s Warranties shall not exceed the Strategic Costs Cap. The limitations set forth in this Section 11.7(a) shall not apply to any indemnity provided pursuant to Sections 10.1 or
10.3. 
  
 (b) The Indemnitor shall not be liable for Losses in
excess of the actual Losses suffered by the Indemnitee as a result of the act, circumstance, or condition for which indemnification is sought. 
  
 12. Notices. All notices, consents, approvals and other communications which may be or are required to be given by any of
Partnership, Existing Partners, Strategic or Management LLC under this Agreement shall be properly given only if made in writing and sent by (a) hand delivery, or (b) certified mail, return receipt requested, or (c) a nationally recognized overnight
delivery service (such as Federal Express, UPS Next Day Air or Airborne Express), or (d) by telecopying to the telecopy number listed below (provided that a copy of such notice is also delivered within 24 hours to the party by one of the other

 34 

 Management LLC or Partnership, as applicable as set forth below, or at such other address (or telecopy number) as each
may request in writing. Such notices delivered by hand, by telecopy, or overnight delivery service shall be deemed received on the date of delivery and, if mailed, shall be deemed received upon the earlier of actual receipt or two days after
mailing. Said notice addresses are as follows (and Partnership, Existing Partners, Strategic and Management LLC shall have the right to designate changes to their respective notice addresses, effective five (5) days after the delivery of written
notice thereof):

Agreement. If the time period by which any right, option or election provided under this Agreement must be exercised, or by which any act required hereunder must be performed, or by which the Closing must be held, expires on a Saturday, Sunday or

 13.7 Interpretation. The titles, captions and paragraph headings are inserted for convenience only and are in no way intended to interpret,
define, limit or expand the scope or content of this Agreement or any provision hereof. If any time period under this Agreement ends on a day other than a Business Day, then the time period shall be extended until the next Business Day. This
Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or other rule requiring construction against the party causing this Agreement to be drafted. If any words or phrases in this Agreement shall have been stricken out or otherwise

the Escrow Deposits, in escrow, and shall disburse the Escrow Deposits pursuant to the provisions of this Article 14. Strategic, the Existing Partners, Management LLC and Partnership are free to amend or modify this Agreement without Escrow
Agent’s signature as long as such amendment does not affect Escrow Agent’s liability hereunder.
