Notwithstanding this Section 10.13, no provision of this Agreement shall prevent either the Seller or the Purchaser from extending any deadline, cure period or other timeframe for performance hereunder in accordance with the terms set forth herein.
     10.14 Confidentiality. The existence of this Agreement and the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall remain confidential and shall not be disclosed, by either the Purchaser or any affiliate thereof or the Seller, to any third (3rd) party other than: (a) as may be required by law or regulation or to comply with the filing requirements of any applicable legislation or rule; or (b) any counsel, consultant, or agent assisting the Seller with the sale of the Property and any counsel, consultant, or agent assisting the Purchaser with the purchase of the Property, provided that any such counsel, consultant or agent shall have been advised that the terms and provisions of this Agreement are to remain confidential and not to be disclosed to any other party; or (c) by Purchaser in any necessary (as determined by the Purchaser in good faith) filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission; or (d) by the Purchaser in a limited press release that discloses only the Purchase Price, that the Hotel is an upper, upscale extended stay hotel, and that the Hotel is located in the State of New York; or (e) by the Borrower after the Closing.

     10.15 No Third-Party Beneficiary. The provisions of this Agreement and of the documents to be executed and delivered at Closing are and will be for the benefit of the Seller and the Purchaser only and are not for the benefit of any third (3rd) party, and accordingly, no third (3rd) party shall have the right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or of the documents to be executed and delivered at Closing.
     10.16 Waiver of Jury Trial. The Seller and the Purchaser each hereby waive any right to jury trial in connection with the enforcement by the Purchaser, or the Seller, of any of their respective rights and remedies hereunder.
     10.17 Exculpation. The Purchaser agrees, and agrees on behalf of Purchaser’s Hotel Lessee and the Utility Purchaser (the Purchaser, the Purchaser’s Hotel Lessee and the Utility Purchaser being collectively referred to herein as the “Purchaser Parties”), that the Purchaser Parties do not have and will not have any claims or causes of action against any disclosed or undisclosed officer, director, employee, agent, trustee, shareholder, partner, member, manager, principal, parent, subsidiary or other affiliate of the Seller, or any officer, director, employee, agent, trustee, trustee, shareholder, manager, member, partner or principal of any such parent, subsidiary or other affiliate (collectively, “Seller’s Affiliates”), arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The Purchaser Parties agree to look solely to the Seller and its assets for the satisfaction of any liability or obligation arising under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or for the performance of any of the covenants, warranties or other agreements contained herein, and further agrees not to sue or otherwise seek to enforce any personal obligation against any of Seller’s Affiliates with respect to any matters arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

The provisions of this Section 10.17 shall survive the Closing or the termination of this Agreement.
     10.18 Title Company. The Title Company, in its capacity as escrow agent hereunder, agrees to hold the Deposit in accordance with the terms hereof and to comply with additional written instructions from the parties, to the extent that such instructions are not in conflict.

32


 

               (a) If the Closing occurs, then at Closing, the Deposit shall be released to Seller and shall be credited against the Purchase Price.
               (b) In all other cases, any and all payments made by the Title Company from the Deposit shall be made in accordance with this Section 10.18(c). If either the Purchaser or the Seller delivers written notice to the Title Company requesting release of the Deposit (a “Disbursement Notice”), the Title Company shall deliver a copy of such Disbursement Notice to the party who did not deliver the Disbursement Notice. Unless within five (5) business days after delivery of such Disbursement Notice by the Title Company, the Title Company receives from such party a notice objecting to the release of the Deposit from escrow (an “Objection Notice”), the Title Company shall disburse the Deposit as set forth in the Disbursement Notice. If an Objection Notice is delivered within such five (5) Business-Day period, the Title Company shall continue to hold the Earnest Money until otherwise directed by either (i) joint written instructions from the Purchaser and the Seller, or (ii) a firm and final court order binding on the Title Company which has not been stayed, vacated or appealed before disbursement of the Deposit; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Title Company shall have the right in the event of such a dispute to deposit the Deposit with any federal or state court then having jurisdiction over an interpleader action with respect to the Deposit. The Title Company shall give written notice of any such deposit to the Purchaser and the Seller. Upon such deposit or other disbursement in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.18(c), the Title Company shall be relieved and discharged of all further obligations with respect to the amounts so deposited or disbursed and all further obligations and liability to the parties hereto with respect to its obligations under this Agreement.
               (c) Acceptance by the Title Company of its duties under this Agreement is subject to the following terms and conditions:
          (i) The duties and obligations of the Title Company shall be determined solely by the provisions of this Agreement and any written instruction from the parties consistent with this Agreement that are not in conflict, and the Title Company shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set out in this Agreement or such instructions;
          (ii) The Seller and the Purchaser will jointly and severally reimburse and indemnify the Title Company for, and hold it harmless against any loss, liability or expense, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred without bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Title Company, arising out of or in connection with any dispute or conflicting claim by the Seller or the Purchaser under this Agreement, as well as the costs and expense of defending against any claim or liability arising out of or relating to this Agreement except where such claim or liability arises from the bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Title Company; as between the Seller (on the one hand) and the Purchaser (on the other hand) their obligations under this subsection 10.18(d)(ii) shall be shared equally;
          (iii) The Title Company shall be fully protected in acting on and relying upon any written notice, instruction, direction or other document which the Title

33


 

Company in good faith believes to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;
               (iv) The Title Company may seek the advice of legal counsel in the event of any dispute or question as to the construction of any of the provisions of this Agreement or its duties hereunder, and it shall incur no liability and shall be fully protected in respect of any action taken or suffered by it in good faith in accordance with the opinion of such counsel;
               (v) The Title Company may resign and be discharged from its duties hereunder at any time by giving written notice of such resignation to each of the Purchaser and the Seller specifying a date, not less than thirty (30) days after the date of such notice, when such resignation will take effect. Upon the date hereof of such resignation, the Title Company shall deliver the funds held in escrow to such person or persons as the Purchaser and the Seller shall in writing jointly direct, and upon such delivery the Title Company shall be relieved of all duties and liabilities thereafter accruing under this Agreement. The Purchaser and the Seller shall have the right at any time upon joint action to substitute a new Title Company by giving notice thereof to the Title Company then acting;
               (vi) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall in any way affect the right of the Title Company to have at any time a judicial settlement of its accounts as Title Company under this Agreement;
               (vii) All disbursements by Title Company shall be made by bank wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to the account or accounts of the receiving party or its designee(s), as such party may direct.
     10.19 Prevailing Party. If either party institutes a legal action against the other arising out of this Agreement or any default hereunder, the party who does not substantially prevail such action will reimburse the other party for the reasonable expenses of prosecuting or defending such action, including without limitation attorneys’ fees and disbursements and court costs. The obligations under this Section 10.19 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
     10.20 [Intentionally Deleted]
     10.21 Brokerage. The Purchaser and the Seller each represent and warrant to the other that it has not dealt with any broker, consultant, finder or like agent who might be entitled to a commission or compensation on account of introducing the parties hereto, the negotiation or execution of this Agreement or the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby other than Felix Cacciatto of Hotel Equity Advisors (the “Broker”). The Purchaser shall pay the One Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($150,000.00) commission due the Broker pursuant to a separate agreement with the Broker. Each party agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party, its successors, assigns and agents, from and against the payment of any commission, compensation, loss, damages, costs, and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred in connection with, or arising out of, claims for any broker’s, agent’s or finder’s fees of any person claiming by or through such party other than

34


 

Broker. The obligations of the Seller and the Purchaser under this Section 10.21 shall survive the Closing or the termination of this Agreement.
     10.22 Exchange Provisions. Either party shall be permitted to transfer the Property (or interests in the Property) as part of a tax-free like-kind exchange (the “Exchange”) under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). Accordingly, each party shall cooperate with each other in structuring the transfer of the Property (or interests in the Property)) as a tax-free like-kind exchange (forward and reverse type exchanges included); the Purchaser’s or the Seller’s cooperation shall include, but not be limited to, permitting the assignment by of rights under this Agreement to a qualified intermediary (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1031 (k)-1(g)(4)(iii)), and/or entering into an agreement with a qualified intermediary for the acquisition of the Property (or interests in the Property). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the party entering into the Exchange shall fully reimburse, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party for all costs and expenses it incurs in connection with the Exchange, and nothing in this Section 10.22 shall permit either party to extend the Closing Date, require either party to take title to any other property, or to incur any additional expenses or liability. The provisions of this Section 10.22 shall survive Closing.
     10.23 No Recording. The parties hereto agree that neither this Agreement nor any memorandum or notice hereof shall be recorded, and the Purchaser agrees not to file any lis pendens or other instrument against the Property or the Utility Property in connection herewith. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Purchaser (i) acknowledges that the filing of a lis pendens or other evidence of the Purchaser’s rights or the existence of this Agreement against the Property or the Utility Property, could cause significant monetary and other damages to Seller, and (ii) hereby indemnifies the Seller and the Seller Affiliates from and against any and all liabilities, damages, losses, costs or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in the enforcement of the foregoing indemnification obligation) arising out of the breach by the Purchaser of any of the Purchaser’s obligations under this Section 10.23, and (iii) agrees that a breach of this provision by Purchaser shall immediately entitle Seller to terminate this Agreement and keep the Deposit as liquidated damages. The filing of this Agreement with any court in connection with any litigation hereunder shall not be deemed a breach of this Section 10.23. The provisions of this Section 10.23 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
