In the event of such termination, the entire Deposit then held by Escrow Agent shall be returned to Buyer and thereafter no party hereto shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement. The Title Company’s willingness at Closing to issue the Title Policy to Buyer with respect to the Hotel Premises shall only be a condition of Buyer’s obligation to proceed to Closing and not a covenant of Seller; provided that Seller shall execute a customary owner’s affidavit and a gap indemnity in the form reasonably requested by the Title Company for purposes of issuing Extended Coverage and such other formation and authority documents as reasonably requested by Title Company in connection with the issuance of the Title Policy to Buyer.
4.1.6    Permitted Exceptions. As used herein, the term “Permitted Exceptions” shall mean: (A)  the rights of tenants as tenants only under the Leases; (B) the Hotel Management Agreement; (C) the Assumed Contracts; (D) non-delinquent real estate ad valorem taxes, general and special assessments, and water or sewer rates and charges (if not metered) and personal property ad valorem taxes accruing for the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs; (E) all zoning restrictions, regulations and requirements, all building codes and other applicable laws, ordinances and governmental regulations affecting the Hotel Premises; (F) any lien or encumbrance caused by Buyer or arising through or under Buyer or its activities; (G) all matters existing with the written consent of Buyer; and (H) all matters deemed to be Permitted Exceptions pursuant to



Sections 4.1.2 and 4.1.3. The inclusion of any non-recorded agreements and documents included above is not intended to mean, and shall not be deemed to imply, that such agreements and documents described therein are covenants running with, or encumbrances upon, the Hotel Premises.
4.2    Access to Property Records and Personnel. Prior to the Effective Date, Seller has provided to Buyer, its agents, consultants and counsel, access at the Hotel at all reasonable times to:
4.2.4    The Hotel Records (excluding software and electronic databases, but including print-outs or digital copies of such data). Access may be provided through the due diligence websites (the “Electronic Data Site”) maintained by Seller’s Broker and Bentall Kennedy (and Buyer acknowledges that it already has been granted access to such websites for purposes of its pre-bid due diligence).
4.2.5    The Hotel Improvements and Hotel Parcel, for purposes of conducting (at Buyer’s sole expense and liability) any inspections, observations, examinations, surveys and tests that Buyer may reasonably require (but Buyer shall not conduct any borings, drilling or other invasive or destructive testing without Seller’s prior written consent and without first evidencing to Seller liability insurance coverage for such activity reasonably satisfactory in scope and amount to Seller).
Such right of access, however, shall be subject to the rights of guests, tenants and licensees of the Hotel and holders of other possessory interests in the Hotel, and Buyer in its activities under this Section 4.2 shall conduct its inspections so as not to unreasonably interfere with such rights or the operation of the Hotel in any respect. In no event shall Buyer communicate with any employees of or at the Hotel other than (A) the Hotel’s general manager, (B) such other executive Hotel Employees, if any, as Seller designates in writing from time-to-time (“Designees”), nor shall Buyer disclose or permit to be disclosed to any Hotel Employees, other than the Hotel’s general manager, the nature or reason for Buyer’s presence on or about the Hotel without Seller’s prior approval.
4.3    Indemnification and Insurance.
4.3.1    Buyer shall Indemnify Seller and Hotel Manager from and against any and all Claims arising or asserted to arise out of, any activity of Buyer or Buyer’s agents, contractors, employees and representatives, conducted at or about the Hotel Premises prior to Closing, including, without limitation, Claims for damage to the Hotel or third-party Claims against Seller or Hotel Manager resulting from any such activity, except to the extent that such Claims were caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Seller or Hotel Manager. Buyer shall, with reasonable promptness, repair in a good and workmanlike manner any damage to the Hotel caused by any such activity; provided, however, that Buyer shall not be liable for any Claim resulting solely from Buyer’s discovery of any pre-existing condition.
4.3.2    Prior to any entry upon the Hotel Premises by Buyer or Buyer’s agents, contractors, subcontractors or employees, Buyer shall deliver to Seller proof satisfactory to Seller that Buyer is carrying a commercial general liability insurance policy issued by a financially



responsible insurance company reasonably acceptable to Seller, covering (i) the activities of Buyer, Buyer’s agents, contractors, subcontractors and employees on or upon the Hotel Premises, and (ii) Buyer’s indemnity obligation contained in Section 4.3.1 above. Such proof shall evidence that such insurance policy shall have a per occurrence limit of at least Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) and an aggregate limit of at least Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000).
4.3.3    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the indemnity and insurance obligations of Buyer set forth in this Section 4.3 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
4.4    Natural Hazard Report. Prior to the Effective Date, Seller has delivered a report detailing the natural hazards affecting the property (“Natural Hazards Report”), prepared by an independent third party pursuant to California Civil Code § 1102.4 (“Natural Hazard Expert”). The Natural Hazard Report prepared by the Natural Hazard Expert regarding the results of its examination fully and completely discharges Seller from its disclosure obligations under Natural Hazard Disclosure Act, California Government Code Sections 8589.3, 8589.4 and 51183.5, and California Public Resources Code Sections 2621.9, 2694 and 4136, and any successor statutes or laws and Sections 1102 through 1102.17 of the California Civil Code and the Natural Hazard Expert shall be deemed to be an expert, dealing with matters within the scope of its expertise with respect to the examination and written Natural Hazard Report regarding the natural hazards referred to above.
4.5    Discussions with Government Authorities. Buyer shall not have the right to meet with or otherwise communicate with any Governmental Authority or any official, employee, agent or representative thereof regarding the Hotel (other than for routine inspections of public records) unless Buyer gives Seller at least two (2) Business Day’s prior written notice of such communication (including time, place and subject matter) and the opportunity to have such communications conducted in the presence of a representative of Seller.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary, Seller shall not be deemed in breach of this Section 6 by reason of any action taken by the Hotel Manager without Seller’s consent or approval except to the extent Seller failed to use commercially reasonable efforts to restrain the Hotel Manager as provided in the first paragraph of this Section 6.

Seller shall reasonably cooperate, but at no significant expense or liability to Seller, in assisting Buyer or Hotel Manager with respect to the foregoing, and such obligation to cooperate shall survive the Closing and shall not be deemed to merge into any of the Closing Documents.

Prorations, Credits and Other Adjustments.
At Closing, the Parties shall make the prorations and other adjustments provided below, and the net amount consequently owing to Seller or Buyer shall be added to or subtracted from the proceeds of the Purchase Price payable to Seller at Closing. As close to the anticipated Closing Date as practical, Seller shall, in consultation with Buyer and with Buyer’s reasonable cooperation and approval, cause to be prepared a prorations and credit statement (the “Preliminary Statement”) which shall reflect all of the prorations, credits and other adjustments at Closing required under this Section 8 or under any other provision of this Agreement, and which shall be used for purposes of Closing adjustments, subject to final adjustments as provided in Section 11. As soon as the Parties have agreed upon the Preliminary Statement, they shall jointly deliver a mutually signed copy



thereof to Escrow Agent. To the extent the Parties are unable to agree by Closing on any item on the Preliminary Statement, the amount in dispute shall be placed in escrow with the Title Company and such item shall be finally resolved on the Final Statement pursuant to Section 11.

All real estate ad valorem taxes, general assessments and special assessments and all personal property ad valorem taxes assessed against the Hotel (generically “Real Estate Taxes”) for the tax year in which Closing occurs shall be prorated between Buyer and Seller as of the Closing Date. Seller shall be responsible for any special assessments levied against the Hotel and payable for any years prior to the tax fiscal year in which the Closing occurs plus a pro rata share of such assessments payable for the tax fiscal year in which the Closing occurs, and Buyer shall be responsible for all subsequent assessments, including a pro rata share of such assessments payable for the tax fiscal year in which the Closing occurs. If the real property tax rate, personal property tax rate or any assessment has not been set for the tax year in which the Closing occurs, then the proration of such real property tax, personal property tax or assessment shall be based on the tax bill for the preceding tax year for such tax or assessment which has not been set for the tax year in which the Closing occurs, and such proration shall be adjusted between Seller and Buyer upon presentation of written evidence that the actual taxes or assessment paid (determined as of the date such taxes or assessment are actually paid) for the tax year in which the Closing occurs differ from the amounts used at Closing. The amount of any tax refunds (net of attorneys’ fees and other costs reasonably incurred by Seller in seeking such a reduction) with respect to any portion of the Hotel for all tax years prior to the tax year in which the Closing occurs shall be allocated entirely to Seller and Buyer agrees to, at no cost to Buyer, reasonably cooperate with Seller in obtaining such refund and/or immediately delivering to Seller any such refund that Buyer may receive, on Seller's behalf, at any time subsequent to the Closing. The amount of any tax refunds (net of attorneys’ fees and other costs reasonably incurred by any Person in seeking such a reduction) with respect to any portion of the Hotel for the tax year in which the Closing occurs shall be apportioned between Seller and Buyer in the same manner as unpaid real estate taxes, personal property taxes and other assessments on the Hotel. The provisions of this Section 8.1 shall survive Closing.
Except as provided in Section 8.2.1.4 Seller shall be responsible for room taxes, occupancy taxes, sales taxes, gross receipt taxes, and similar taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority (collectively, the Operational Taxes) accruing prior to the Cut-off Time and Buyer shall be responsible for the Operational Taxes accruing after the Cut-Off Time. For purposes of this Agreement, all of Operational Taxes (expressly excluding taxes and assessments covered by the first paragraph of this Section 8.1, corporate franchise taxes, and federal, state, and local income taxes) shall be allocated between Seller and Buyer such that those attributable to the period prior to the Cut-Off Time shall be allocable to Seller and those attributable to the period from and after the Cut-Off Time shall be allocable to Buyer (with the attribution of such taxes hereunder to be done in a manner consistent with the attribution under this Agreement of the applicable revenues on which such taxes may be based).
8.2    Proration of Hotel Revenues.



8.2.1    Guest Ledger. The open account (“Guest Ledger”) for each guest at the Hotel on the night immediately preceding the Closing (“Closing Eve”) shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer as follows:

8.2.1.4    From the amounts apportioned to Seller under the foregoing clauses shall be deducted the allocable share of all applicable Operational Taxes, fees retained by credit card companies, travel and tour agent commissions, license, reservation and franchise fees, and similar expenses with respect to such revenues, which Buyer shall then be responsible for paying along with the share thereof allocable to the amounts apportioned to it.
8.2.2    Restaurant and Public Room Operations. Restaurant and public room operations shall be adjusted as of the close of business during the morning in which the Cut-Off Time occurs (or such earlier time on the same night, if the close of business occurs prior to 12:00 A.M.). Income from the period prior to such time shall be for the account of Seller, and income from and after such time shall be for the account of Buyer. From the amount apportioned to Seller under the foregoing clause shall be deducted the allocable share of applicable taxes and similar expenses with respect to such revenue, which Buyer shall then be responsible for paying along with the share thereof allocable to the amounts apportioned to it.

8.2.3.8    all undisputed monthly rents and other fixed periodic payments under the Leases which are not delinquent or in default and which are aged thirty (30) days or less as of Closing, and any other operating revenues not otherwise provided for in this Section which are not delinquent or in default and which are aged thirty (30) days or less as of Closing, which shall be purchased by Buyer at Closing at one hundred percent (100%) of the face amount of such receivables, and



8.2.3.9    Seller shall retain all other such monthly rents and other fixed periodic payments under the Leases which do not fall within 8.2.3.1 above (the “Over 30 Day Rents”). Buyer shall have no right to any such Over 30 Day Rents. Seller’s retention of the Over 30 Day Rents shall not effect the Purchase Price, and neither Buyer nor Seller shall receive any credit with respect thereto.
8.2.4    Other Hotel Accounts. Except as otherwise provided with respect to Guest Ledgers in Section 8.2.1 above, restaurant and public room operations under Section 8.2.2, and payments under Leases in Section 8.2.3 above, Seller shall assign to Buyer:

All of those remaining accounts receivable of Seller not acquired by Buyer shall be and remain the property of Seller, subsequent to the Closing of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. With respect to Accounts, the Parties agree that sums received or collected by Buyer shall be applied first on account of accounts receivables arising on or after the Closing and next on account of all such receivables arising prior to the Closing. Any such funds received or collected by Buyer shall be paid to Seller on a monthly basis at the end of each calendar month. Each such monthly payment shall be accompanied by a statement showing the amount collected on each such account. It is generally the intention of Buyer and Seller that although all of Seller’s Accounts not being purchased by Buyer shall be and remain the property of Seller, and, if any such accounts are paid to Buyer, then Buyer shall collect same and remit to Seller in the manner above provided. Seller shall be entitled to review the Buyer’s books and records during the twelve (12) month period following the Closing Date to verify that Buyer has properly remitted all such accounts receivable and Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Seller in connection with such verification efforts. Except to the extent notified by Seller by written notice to Buyer within twelve (12) months following the Closing, Seller shall be deemed to have accepted Buyer’s allocation of those accounts receivable, if any, belonging to Seller which were received by Buyer.

Seller shall give Buyer a credit at Closing for all charges which are Seller’s responsibility under this paragraph, and Buyer shall assume the obligation to pay such charges to the extent credited to Buyer.
8.3.2    Utility charges (but excluding any utility deposits), to the extent reasonably practicable, in lieu of prorating the charges for any metered utility service, the Parties shall endeavor to have the utility read the meter as early as possible on the Closing Eve render a final bill to Seller based on such reading and bill all subsequent service to Buyer. To the extent that this is not practical, all charges for utilities shall be prorated as of the Cut-Off Time. In the event the actual amounts for such charges for utilities or telephone calls are not known as of the Closing Date or cannot be billed separately to the responsible Party, such charges shall be prorated between the Parties as of the Cut-Off Time in accordance with Section 11. Seller shall receive a credit for all deposits transferred to Buyer or which remain on deposit for the benefit of Buyer with respect to such utility contracts, otherwise such deposits shall be refunded to Seller.

10.7.1    Escrow Agent shall promptly notify each Party in writing of such conflicting instructions or of one Party’s failure to give instructions, and request that such conflict or omission be promptly resolved.
10.7.2    Where one Party has failed to give instructions, unless Escrow Agent receives written instructions from such Party within five (5) Business Days after giving notice of such failure, Escrow Agent shall be free to comply with the instructions given by the other Party and both Parties shall Indemnify Escrow Agent from any claim or liability resulting from such compliance.
10.7.3    Where the Parties have given conflicting instructions, Escrow Agent shall take no action to cancel Escrow or deliver funds or items out of Escrow except pursuant to further, joint written instructions from the Parties or a final court order or judgment.

The Parties, jointly and severally, shall hold harmless and indemnify Escrow Agent from and against any claim, liability and expenses resulting from such interpleader action (but, as between Seller and Buyer, the costs of such interpleader action shall be assessed in accordance with Section 16.9).
10.7.4    Maintenance of Confidentiality by Escrow Agent. Except as may be otherwise required by applicable Law, Escrow Agent shall maintain the existence, terms and nature of this transaction and the identities of the Parties in strictest confidence and shall not disclose

11.
Post-Closing Adjustments.
11.1    Final Closing Statement. No later than 90 days after Closing, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller a final Closing statement (the “Final Statement”), which shall correct the estimates and (if necessary) other amounts used in the Preliminary Statement, based on the final bills, the Hotel’s operating reports for the month immediately preceding Closing and the month in which Closing occurred, on Buyer’s own post-Closing examination of the books and records of the Hotel and on other relevant facts discovered after Closing. The Final Statement shall be binding and conclusive on Buyer and on Seller, except for such items as to which Seller specifically objects in a written notice given to Buyer within 60 days after Buyer delivers the Final Statement to Seller, and except for items which by their nature cannot otherwise be determined within such 60 day period, such as Real Estate Taxes.
11.2    Disputes. If Seller gives timely and proper notice of objection to any item(s) on the Final Statement, and Seller and Buyer are unable between themselves to resolve each such item within 90 days after Buyer delivers the Final Statement to Seller, then any Party may submit the unresolved items to a mutually agreeable national accounting firm (or, if the Parties are unable to agree on such firm within 100 days after Buyer delivers the Final Statement to Seller or such firm is unwilling to handle the dispute, to a qualified neutral party designated by the American Arbitration Association office located in Los Angeles, California) for a determination which shall be binding and conclusive upon all Parties and shall be deemed incorporated into the Final Statement. Seller and Buyer shall pay in equal shares the fees and other expenses of such accounting firm or other designated neutral party for making such determination.
11.3    Settlement. Within ten (10) Business Days after Seller has notified Buyer of its agreement to the Final Statement (or, if earlier, after the Final Statement has otherwise become binding on Seller under Section 11.1) or, if later, within ten (10) Business Days after the last timely objection by Seller has been resolved under Section 11.2, Buyer or Seller (as the case may be) shall pay to the other the net amount owing on the settlement for the Closing prorations, credits and other adjustments, as shown by the Final Statement; provided, however, if such items are resolved while other items remain unresolved, the Party owing any money with respect to a resolved item shall pay such amount to the other Party upon the resolution thereof. Except for mathematical error manifest on the face of the Final Statement and adjustment for items which by their nature cannot otherwise be determined within the 60-day Final Statement period, such as Real Estate Taxes, no



further adjustments or payments shall be required with respect to such prorations, credits and other adjustments.
11.4    Survival. The respective obligations of the parties under this Section 11 shall survive Closing and shall not be deemed to merge into any of the Closing Documents; provided, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any post-closing adjustment or reimbursements that a party seeks under any provision of this Section 11 must be demanded in writing on or prior to 180 Days after the Closing Date.
12.
Third-Party Claims and Obligations.
12.1    Assumed and Retained Liabilities. Buyer shall Indemnify Seller from and against any and all Claims that Seller incurs relating to the Hotel arising on or after the Closing, or by reason of any obligation or liability which is assumed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation (A) obligations accruing under the Hotel Management Agreement after Closing, (B) obligations accruing under the Assumed Contracts after Closing, (C) the Hotel Payables to the extent credited to Buyer, (D) Reservations made in the Ordinary Course, (E) obligations accruing under the Leases after Closing, (F) obligations accruing under the Ground Lease after Closing, (G) any obligation or liability for which Buyer has received a credit under Section 8 or Section 11, and (H) liability arising from Buyer’s failure to pay any Closing cost allocated to it under this Agreement.

12.2    WARN Act. Buyer and Seller each acknowledge and agree that neither Seller nor the Hotel Manager shall prior to Closing give any notice to the Hotel Employees under the WARN Act with respect to the sale of the Hotel hereunder. Buyer shall be responsible for any obligations and liability under any state or federal plant closing/mass layoff law for actions taken in connection with this Agreement following the Closing and Buyer shall Indemnify Seller from and against any and all Claims in connection with any claim of any employee, employee representative, or any governmental, judicial or arbitration body whether federal, state, local or otherwise based on Buyer’s failure to comply with the WARN Act, to the extent applicable, following Closing; provided, however, Buyer shall have no liability for triggering any provisions of the WARN Act to the extent such failure to comply with the provisions of the WARN Act is a result of Seller or Hotel Manager’s actions prior to Closing.
12.3    Indemnification of Related Persons. Any indemnification of a Party against third-person Claims contained herein shall also run in favor of such Party’s partners, shareholders,



beneficial owners, directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, agents and managers (including, without limitation, the Hotel Manager), all of whom are intended by the Parties to be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 12.
12.4    Indemnification Procedures. In the event any Claim is brought or made against Seller or Buyer for which such party seeks indemnification from the other pursuant to this Section 12, the party seeking such indemnification (the “indemnified party”) shall provide written notice to the other party (the “indemnifying party”) within ten (10) business days of such party becoming aware of such Claim; provided that failure to timely provide notice of any such Claim shall not limit the rights of the party seeking indemnification unless and solely to the extent that the failure to provide such notice has prejudiced the other party. Provided the indemnifying party acknowledges to the indemnified party in writing its responsibility for such Claim and vigorously defends against such Claim, (a) the indemnifying party shall have the right to assume the defense of such Claim with counsel designated by such indemnifying party and reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and (b) the indemnified party shall not settle or otherwise pay such Claim without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party.
12.5    Survival. The provisions of this Section 12 shall survive the Closing; provided, however, Seller’s indemnity obligations are subject in all events to the conditions and limitations in Section 5.4; provided, however that such limitation shall not apply to any of Seller’s indemnity obligations with respect to Employee Liabilities, Real Estate Taxes, Operational Taxes, any commissions owed to Seller’s Broker and Section 25 (Bulk Sales Transfer Laws).
13.
Hotel Records. All Hotel Records shall become the property of Buyer upon Closing, subject to the rights of the Hotel Manager, provided Seller shall have the right to make and retain copies of the Hotel Records which are transferred to Buyer at Closing and to disclose information contained therein as reasonably required for tax filings, preparation and auditing of financial statements, other reporting and similar purposes. Buyer shall also make the Hotel Records available to Seller and its authorized representatives at the Hotel, at reasonable times and upon reasonable prior notice, and allow Seller to make copies thereof; and Buyer shall not dispose of any Hotel Records prior to the fifth anniversary of Closing without giving Seller at least 30 days’ prior written notice and opportunity to recover the same.
14.
Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of Buyer’s rights hereunder may be assigned, encumbered or transferred without Seller’s prior written consent.

General Provisions.
16.1    Confidentiality. Except for Permitted Disclosures (defined below), (A) Buyer and Seller shall keep confidential the terms of this Agreement, and (B) until and unless the Closing occurs, Buyer shall keep confidential all information regarding the Hotel. In addition, except as required by Law, no party shall issue press release or communication with the public without the prior written consent of the other; provided, however, that after Closing a Party shall not unreasonably withhold (and shall promptly respond to the other Party’s request for) such consent; provided, further, that the foregoing shall not prohibit a Party, after Closing, from (x) publicly disclosing that a sale and purchase of the Hotel has occurred so long as such disclosure does not include any terms of the transaction (other than price and the Closing Date) that are not already within the public domain or any information regarding the other Party other than its name and (y) in response to questions from the press, confirming information within the public records (including information already reported in the public media). As used herein, “Permitted Disclosures” include only (i) disclosures by a Party to its shareholders, affiliates, subsidiaries and prospective lenders and managers, partners, employees, financing sources, auditors, attorneys, accountants, other consultants and governmental agencies as reasonably necessary in negotiation of this Agreement, the conduct of due diligence, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the exercise of the Party’s rights and the performance its duties hereunder, (ii) disclosure to any government regulatory agency which requests the information in question in the course of its regulatory functions, and (iii) any other disclosure required by Law (including, without limitation, in response to any subpoena and as a result of Buyer being an affiliate of a public company) (and in such event Buyer shall notify Seller regarding the disclosure and timing of disclosure). In the case of any Permitted Disclosure described in clause (i) above, Buyer shall advise the Person to whom such disclosure is made of the confidential nature of any information disclosed and obtain from such person an undertaking to respect such confidentiality. In the event Buyer is requested or becomes legally compelled (by oral questions, interrogatories, request for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process, including regulatory inquiries or otherwise) to disclose any such confidential information relating to the Hotel or this Agreement, Buyer agrees to provide prompt written notice to Seller so that Seller may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with this Section 16.1. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or that Seller waives compliance with this Section 16, only that portion of the confidential information relating to the Hotel or this Agreement which is legally required will be furnished by Buyer after exercising all reasonable means to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded any such information. Buyer agrees that remedies at law may be inadequate to protect Seller against a breach by Buyer of this Section 16.1, and therefore Buyer agrees, in advance, that Seller shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, in the event of any such breach by Buyer. Such



remedies shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedy for a breach of this Section 16.1, but shall be in addition to all other remedies available to Seller at law or equity.
16.1.5    This Agreement supersedes any previous agreement regarding the Hotel or the transaction contemplated by this Agreement made between the Parties or their agents, including any confidentiality agreements, which shall be deemed to have merged into this Agreement.
16.2    Return of Materials Upon Termination. Within 30 days after termination of this Agreement without Closing, upon Seller’s request, Buyer shall return to Seller all materials which Buyer has received from Seller pursuant to this Agreement. Within 30 days after Seller’s request following the termination of this Agreement without Closing, Buyer shall deliver to Seller true and correct copies of all final reports, studies and analyses prepared by either Buyer or by third parties at Buyer’s request or direction relating to the Hotel; provided that Buyer makes no representations and warranties with respect to such reports, studies or analyses.
16.3    Construction; Participation in Drafting. Each Party acknowledges that it and its Counsel have participated substantially in the drafting of this Agreement and agree that, accordingly, in the interpretation and construction of this Agreement, no ambiguity, real or apparent, in any provision hereof shall be construed against a Party by reason of the role of such Party or its Counsel in the drafting of such provision.
16.4    No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly provided in Section 12.3, nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall construed to confer any rights or remedies on any Person other than the Parties and their active successors and assigns, or to relieve, discharge or alter the obligations of any third Person to either Party or to give any third Person any right of subrogation or action over against Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Hotel Employee shall be deemed a third party beneficiary of any provision of this Agreement.
16.5    Integration and Binding Effect. This Agreement and the Closing Documents constitute the entire agreement among the Parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and representations of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof (including, without limitation, any letter of intent, offer sheet, broker’s set-up, disclosure materials, offering circular or other such written materials of any kind). This Agreement may not be modified, amended, supplemented or otherwise changed, except by a writing executed by all Parties. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.
16.6    Computation of Time. Any time period specified in this Agreement which would otherwise end on a non-Business Day shall automatically be extended to the immediately following Business Day.
16.7    Captions. Article and section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the construction of any provision of this Agreement.



16.8    Further Assurances. The Parties shall cooperate with each other as reasonably necessary to effect the provisions of this Agreement, shall use reasonable and good faith efforts to satisfy conditions to Closing and, at and after Closing, shall each execute and deliver such additional instruments or other documents as the other Party may reasonably request to accomplish the purposes and intent of this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall be deemed to enlarge the obligations of the Parties hereunder or to require any to incur any material expense or liability not otherwise required of it hereunder.
16.9    Enforcement Costs. Should either Buyer or Seller institute any action or proceeding to enforce any provision of this Agreement or for damages by reason of any alleged breach of any provision hereof, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover from the other Party all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by such prevailing Party in connection with such action or proceeding. A Party also shall be entitled to recover all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in the enforcement of any judgment or settlement in its favor obtained in such action or proceeding (and in any such judgment provision shall be made for the recovery of such post-judgment costs and expenses.)
16.10    GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE AN AGREEMENT MADE UNDER THE LAW OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND FOR ALL PURPOSES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.
16.11    Counterparts. This Agreement, and any amendment hereto, may be executed by facsimile signatures and in any number of counterparts and by each Party on separate counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall be deemed an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

Remedies for Seller’s Breach.     
20.1    Except as provided in Section 20.2 below, in the event Seller defaults under this Agreement and fails to close, Buyer shall be limited to the recovery of Buyer’s Costs (not to exceed $500,000), plus any enforcement costs that Buyer may be awarded and shall have no right to seek damages or specific performance or to record a lis pendens against the Hotel. This provision shall be an absolute bar to any action by Buyer for any other damages arising out of such a breach under and/or for specific performance of this Agreement prior to Closing, and Seller shall be entitled to the immediate expungement of any lis pendens filed by Buyer against the Hotel. If prior to Closing actually occurring Buyer brings an action for damages of a kind or in an amount in excess of those permitted under this Section 20, or for specific performance of this Agreement, or records a lis pendens against the Hotel, or otherwise creates any cloud on Seller’s title to the Hotel, Buyer shall Indemnify Seller from and against all costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and losses which Seller incurs by reason thereof. As used herein, “Costs” means Buyer’s actual and reasonable out-of-pocket costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement, the conduct of its due diligence inspection of the Hotel and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
20.2    Notwithstanding Section 20.1, in the event Seller in breach of this Agreement fails to close the sale of the Hotel, Buyer may in lieu of an action for monetary damages as provided in Section 20.1 bring an action for specific performance of Seller’s obligation to close, subject to strict compliance with each of the following conditions:
(a)    Buyer gives Seller at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to commence such an action;
(b)    Buyer commences such action, and serves Seller with a complaint therein, within sixty (60) Days after the Closing Date; and
(c)    During the pendency of such action, the Deposit remains in Escrow (or is deposited with the court hearing such action);
provided, however, that if Seller, at any time during the pendency of such action, delivers the Seller’s Closing Documents into Escrow (or into the court before which such action is pending) and authorizes Closing in accordance with Section 10 and this Section 20.2, Buyer shall either proceed immediately to close the purchase of the Hotel subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or immediately dismiss such action to the extent it seeks specific performance or other equitable relief and expunge from the record any lis pendens Buyer has filed. By electing to seek specific performance under this Section 20.2, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived any claim or right to monetary damages for Seller’s failure to close as provided in Section 20, other than such damages for delay as are customarily awarded in conjunction with specific performance of an obligation to sell real property and any enforcement costs that Buyer may be awarded pursuant to Section 16.9 in connection with such action (but, if such action results in Buyer’s purchasing the Hotel, such waiver shall not apply to any claim for damages for any breach by Seller of its post-Closing obligations or liabilities under this Agreement or under the other Transfer Instruments, including for breach of any covenant, representation or warranty contained in Section 5.1).



Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Buyer brings an action for specific performance and such remedy is not available for any reason, Buyer may proceed under Section 20.1 of this Agreement. If Buyer brings or maintains an action for specific performance other than as expressly permitted under this Section 20.2, or fails to close the purchase of the Hotel subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement within thirty (30) Days after Seller has delivered the Seller’s Closing Documents and instructions into Escrow (or into such court) and authorized Closing, Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and recover the Deposit as liquidated damages under Section 21.
21.
LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR BUYERS BREACH. IF BUYER IS IN DEFAULT OF THIS AGREEMENT AND FAILS TO CLOSE, THEN UPON WRITTEN NOTICE OF TERMINATION (A “TERMINATION NOTICE”) FROM SELLER TO BUYER AND ESCROW AGENT, THIS AGREEMENT SHALL TERMINATE (EXCEPT FOR THIS SECTION AND BUYER’S OBLIGATIONS PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 4.3, 16.2 AND 16.9). THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE BY INITIALING THIS SECTION 21 THAT:
21.1    IF BUYER IS IN DEFAULT OF THIS AGREEMENT AND FAILS TO CLOSE, SELLER WILL INCUR CERTAIN COSTS AND OTHER DAMAGES IN AN AMOUNT THAT WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT OR IMPRACTICAL TO ASCERTAIN.
21.2    THE DEPOSIT, TOGETHER WITH ALL INTEREST EARNED THEREON, BEARS A REASONABLE RELATIONSHIP TO THE DAMAGES WHICH THE PARTIES ESTIMATE MAY BE SUFFERED BY SELLER BY REASON OF SUCH A FAILURE OF CLOSING TO OCCUR, AND THE DEPOSIT AND INTEREST IS NOT AN AMOUNT WHICH IS UNREASONABLE UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING AT THE TIME THIS AGREEMENT IS MADE (BUYER ACKNOWLEDGING AND AGREEING THAT BUYER HAS FULLY CONSIDERED THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 21 AND SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES PRIOR TO ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND HAS CONSULTED WITH BUYER’S COUNSEL WITH RESPECT THERETO); AND
21.3    UPON DELIVERY TO ESCROW AGENT BY SELLER OF A PROPERLY GIVEN TERMINATION NOTICE, SELLER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE AND RETAIN THE DEPOSIT, TOGETHER WITH ALL INTEREST EARNED THEREON, AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, WHICH DAMAGES SHALL BE SELLER’S SOLE REMEDY HEREUNDER IF BUYER IS IN DEFAULT OF THIS AGREEMENT AND FAILS TO CLOSE, AND BUYER SHALL FORTHWITH INSTRUCT ESCROW AGENT TO RELEASE THE DEPOSIT AND ALL INTEREST EARNED THEREON TO SELLER AND TO RETURN TO SELLER ALL DOCUMENTS AND INSTRUMENTS THERETOFORE DEPOSITED INTO THE ESCROW BY OR ON BEHALF OF THEM; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE DEPOSIT SHALL BE IN ADDITION TO AND NOT IN LIEU OF ANY AMOUNTS OWED TO SELLER BY BUYER AS A RESULT OF BUYER’S OBLIGATIONS PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 4.3, 16.2 AND 16.9.
IN FURTHER EVIDENCE OF THEIR AGREEMENT TO THIS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVISION, SELLER AND BUYER HAVE INITIALED BELOW:

BUYER:
 

22.
Other Limitations on Liability. In no event shall any shareholder, constituent partner or member, director, officer, employee or agent of a Party be personally liable for any obligation of such Party hereunder. Neither Party shall be entitled to recover from the other Party consequential, exemplary, incidental, special or punitive damages for a breach by the other Party of this Agreement.
23.
Tax Deferred Exchange. Buyer and Seller agree that each will cooperate with each other in order that Buyer and/or Seller may effect a tax-deferred, like-kind exchange which will qualify as such under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Buyer and Seller further agree to execute any additional documents and escrow instructions reasonably requested by the other Party which are necessary to facilitate the exchange; provided that the exchanging Party shall give the non-exchanging Party at least ten (10) Days prior notice that it wishes to effect such exchange. The Party making the exchange shall be responsible for the payment of all additional costs incurred and the other Party shall not be required to assume any additional personal liability in connection with such an exchange nor shall the Closing be delayed in connection with effecting such exchange. Seller shall provide reasonable assurance to Buyer that no liabilities of the facilitator will become liens upon the Hotel Premises. The exchanging Party shall indemnify and hold the other Party harmless against all Claims arising from the exchange. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 23, the tax-free exchange shall not diminish the non-exchanging Party’s rights, nor increase such Party's liabilities or obligations, under this Agreement nor require Buyer to accept any property other than the Hotel.
24.
Independent Audit. Buyer may, at its sole cost and expense, engage a third-party certified public accountant to perform an audit of Seller’s books and records which relate exclusively to the Hotel, including the historical financial statements of the Hotel prepared on a historical cost basis, which audit shall include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles and the Securities and Exchange Commission regulations, specifically in accordance with Section 3.05 of Regulation S-X and all related rules and regulations thereof; provided, however, that (i) the completion of such audit shall not be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to close the transactions described in this Agreement, and (ii) Buyer shall promptly reimburse Seller for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Seller or any of its affiliates in connection with such audit. Seller shall reasonably cooperate in connection with the performance of such audit and shall provide all information reasonably requested by the accountants performing such audit with respect to the Hotel, at no cost or expense to Seller. In connection with such audit, Seller shall provide the accountants performing such audit with representation letters reasonably acceptable to Seller and such accountants, at no cost or expense to the Seller. For avoidance of doubt, Seller shall have no obligation to furnish, or authorize access to, financial statements and information for Seller’s constituent members or other Affiliates of Seller. The covenant of Seller with respect to such audit as set forth in this Section 24 shall survive Closing for a period of ninety (90) days.



25.
Bulk Sales Transfer Laws. The Parties hereto believe that the sale of the Hotel is exempt from any bulk sales laws contained in the Uniform Commercial Code in effect or otherwise in the State of California (the “Bulk Sales Laws”). To the extent such laws are applicable and Seller is required to comply with the Bulk Sales Laws in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, Seller agrees to indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from and against any and all losses, costs, liens, claims, liabilities or damages, (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) sustained by Buyer with respect to Seller’s failure to comply with its obligations under the Bulk Sales Laws; provided, however, that Seller shall not be required to indemnify Buyer with respect to (a) any liabilities expressly assumed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, (b) any items apportioned pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement, or (c) any matters as to which Buyer is already indemnified. Nothing in this paragraph or this Agreement, however, shall estop or prevent either Buyer or Seller from asserting as a bar or defense to any action or proceeding brought under the Bulk Sales Laws that it does not apply to the sale contemplated under this Agreement. This Section 25 shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement.
