8.5 Condemnation. In the event of any proceedings, judicial, administrative or otherwise, which relate to a taking or proposed taking of any portion of the Real Property by eminent domain, Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser of the same (the “Condemnation Notice”). If the Real Property is subject to an Immaterial Taking, Seller shall so notify Purchaser pursuant to the Condemnation Notice, and this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

HOLDBACK ESCROW AGREEMENT

THIS HOLDBACK ESCROW AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of                     , 2006 by and among (i) AHT RESIDENCE INN II LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Virginia limited partnership (“Seller”); (ii)                                          , a                              (“Purchaser”); and (iii) First American Title Insurance Company (the “Escrow Agent”).

Recitals:

A. Seller and Purchaser have entered into a Hotel Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of                     , 2006 (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Seller agreed to sell, and Purchaser has agreed to purchase, certain improved real property located in Las Vegas, Nevada, commonly known as the “Residence Inn by Marriott, Las Vegas, Nevada” all as more fully set forth in the Purchase Agreement. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

B. Seller has agreed to be liable for, and to indemnify Purchaser, hold Purchaser harmless and defend Purchaser from and against, breaches of the representations, warranties and covenants made by Seller in the Purchase Agreement and against certain other matters specified the Purchase Agreement (together with any other post-Closing liabilities of Seller to Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the “Indemnity Obligations”).

C. Pursuant to Section 11.3 of the Purchase Agreement, to secure and facilitate payment of the Indemnity Obligations, Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) of the Purchase Price is being deposited in escrow to be held by Escrow Agent as hereinafter provided.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual promises of the parties herein contained, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Establishment of Escrow; Investment. Purchaser has deposited with the Escrow Agent, and the Escrow Agent acknowledges receipt of a portion of the Purchase Price equal to Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00). Such funds shall be held in an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) in the name of the Escrow Agent, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. All amounts held by Escrow Agent from time to time in the Escrow Account are hereinafter referred to as the “Escrow Funds”. Unless directed in writing by the Seller and Purchaser, and subject to the following sentence, the Escrow Agent

 

Exhibit H, Page 1


shall invest the Escrow Funds held in the Escrow Account in U.S. government obligations, bank certificates of deposit (up to the maximum insured amount of any such deposit) or repurchase agreements secured by U.S. government obligations (individually, an “Investment” and collectively, the “Investments”). Unless otherwise directed in writing by the Seller and Purchaser, in no event shall the Escrow Agent invest all or any portion of the Escrow Funds in any Investment if the maturity date of such Investment is later than the date that is six (6) months from the Closing under the Purchase Agreement.

2. Amounts Earned on Escrow Fund; Tax Matters. All amounts earned on the Escrow Funds (interest, dividends or otherwise), shall become a part of the Escrow Account and shall be held hereunder upon the same terms as the original Escrow Funds. The parties agree that to the extent permitted by applicable law, including Section 468B(g) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, Seller will include all amounts earned on the Escrow Funds in its gross income for federal, state and local income tax purposes and pay any income tax resulting therefrom.

3. Disbursement of Escrow Funds. The Escrow Funds shall be held by the Escrow Agent in the Escrow Account and not disbursed until one of the following events has occurred, in which event the Escrow Agent is authorized and directed to disburse the Escrow Funds, or a portion thereof, in the manner indicated:

(a) As soon as practicable after receipt of a written direction signed jointly by Seller and Purchaser, the Escrow Agent is authorized and directed to disburse such portion of the Escrow Funds as directed in such joint direction.

(b) As soon as practicable after receipt of a written direction or order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Escrow Agent is authorized and directed to disburse the Escrow Funds as provided in such report.

(c) In accordance with Section 4 of this Agreement.

4. Time Release/ Set Aside Amounts.

(a) On the date that is six (6) months from the Closing under the Purchase Agreement, Escrow Agent shall pay to Seller, in immediately available federal funds, an amount, if any, equal to (i) the Escrow Funds; minus (ii) the aggregate value, as of such date, of all Set Aside Amounts (as defined in paragraph (b) below). For Example: if, on the date that is six (6) months from the Closing under the Purchase Agreement, the Escrow Funds equal $505,000.00 and the aggregate value of the Set Aside Amounts, as of such date, is $100,000, then Escrow Agent shall pay Seller an amount equal to $405,000.00 (i.e. $505,000 - $100,000). Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility to determine the amount of any Set Aside Amounts.

(b) At any time or times prior to the termination of this Agreement, Purchaser may make claims against the Escrow Funds for indemnification or payment pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement. Purchaser shall notify the Seller and the Escrow Agent in writing prior to the termination of this Agreement of each such claim,

 

Exhibit H, Page 2


including a brief description (based on information then available) of the amount and nature of such claim. An amount equal to the lesser of (i) the then-balance of the Escrow Funds or (ii) a portion of the Escrow Funds sufficient to pay such claim in full (together with expenses and reserves relating thereto), shall constitute the “Set Aside Amount.” In the event Purchaser notifies the Escrow Agent and Seller in writing that it has made out-of-pocket expenditures in connection with any such claim, an amount equal to such expenditures, to the extent such amounts constitute Indemnity Obligations, shall be added to and become a part of the Set Aside Amount. If Escrow Agent receives a written request for distribution from the Escrow Funds from Purchaser pursuant to this Section 4 (a “Request for Payment”), Escrow Agent shall promptly forward such Request for Payment to Seller and unless Escrow Agent receives a written objection from Seller within five (5) days after delivery of such notice to Seller, Escrow Agent shall promptly release the amount specified in the Request for Payment to Purchaser.

5. Termination. This Agreement shall continue in effect until all Escrow Funds have been disbursed in accordance with Section 3 or 4 of this Agreement.

6. The Escrow Agent. Any annual fees, or other expenses, due to Escrow Agent in connection with its performance of this Agreement shall be paid by Purchaser. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any act or omission to act under this Escrow Agreement, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Escrow Agent may act upon any instrument or signature believed by it to be genuine and may assume that any person purporting to give any notice or instruction hereunder, reasonably believed by it to be authorized, has been duly authorized to do so. The Escrow Agent’s duties shall be determined only with reference to this Escrow Agreement and applicable laws, and the Escrow Agent is not charged with knowledge of or any duties or responsibilities in connection with any other document or agreement.

The Escrow Agent shall have the right at any time to resign hereunder by giving written notice of its resignation to the parties hereto, at least thirty (30) days prior to the date specified for such resignation to take effect. If the parties hereto do not designate a successor escrow agent within said third (30) days, the Escrow Agent may appoint another nationally recognized bank or trust company as successor escrow agent. Upon the effective date of such resignation, and provided that the successor escrow agent agrees in writing to be bound by the terms hereof, all cash and other payments and all other property then held by the Escrow Agent hereunder shall be delivered by it to such successor escrow agent or as otherwise shall be designated in writing by both Seller and Purchaser.

In the event that the Escrow Agent should at any time be confronted with inconsistent or conflicting claims or demands by the parties hereto, the Escrow Agent shall have the right to interplead said parties in any court of competent jurisdiction and request that such court determine such respective rights of the parties with respect to this Escrow Agreement, and upon doing so, the Escrow Agent shall be released from any obligations or liability to either party as a consequence of any such claims or demands.

7. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed under and governed by the laws of the State of Maryland and shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
