Pursuant to Section 12.1 of the Agreement, Seller has agreed to indemnify Buyer for certain obligations and liabilities accruing prior to Closing as set forth therein, including those arising under the Ground Lease and Operational Taxes. Buyer and Seller have received notice that the City intends to perform (a) an audit of rent payable under the Ground Lease and (b) an audit of transient occupancy tax (“TOT”), after Closing. To the extent that either of the City’s audits results in Claims arising out of Seller’s obligations to pay rent under the Ground Lease or to pay TOT to the City relating to anytime period prior to Closing (collectively, “Audit Liabilities”), Buyer and Seller hereby amend Section 5.4 of the Agreement as follows:

a.    For purposes of this First Amendment and with respect to Audit Liabilities only, the time limitation for Buyer to give Seller notice of claim as set forth in Section 5.4.2 is hereby extended to twelve (12) months after the Closing Date (which shall be extended for the time period of any actions or appeals against or by the City with respect to any contest regarding the Audit Liabilities), and Buyer shall commence any action with respect to such Claims within thirteen (13) months after the Closing Date (which shall also be extended as set forth above); and

b.    For purposes of this First Amendment and with respect to Audit Liabilities only, the minimum aggregate amount of $250,000 set forth in Section 5.4.3 shall not apply to any Claims by Buyer resulting from Audit Liabilities, nor shall Audit Liabilities be included in calculating such minimum aggregate amount; and the cap on Seller’s aggregate liability of two percent (2%) of the Purchase Price as set forth therein shall not apply to any Claims by Buyer resulting from such Audit Liabilities.

2.     Escrow for Audit Liabilities. Buyer and Seller have agreed to deposit $150,000 of the Purchase Price with the Escrow Agent, to be held in escrow pursuant to the escrow agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Audit Liabilities Escrow Agreement”). Such funds shall be available for a period of thirteen (13) months after Closing (which may be extended as provided in Paragraph 1(a) above) to pay the City directly for Audit Liabilities, as provided in the Audit Liabilities Escrow Agreement. Seller or its designated representative shall have the right to participate with Buyer, to the extent that Buyer is able to participate, in either of the City’s audits, review the results thereof, and with prior notice to Buyer to discuss such results with the City. If upon completion of either of the City audits, it is determined by the City that Seller during its period




of ownership of the Hotel made an overpayment of (a) rent pursuant to the Ground Lease or (b) TOT, such overpayment shall be promptly given to Seller to the extent that Buyer receives such overpayment directly from the City. Buyer and Seller shall each bear their own professional fees and costs in connection with the City audit; provided however, that Seller shall reimburse Buyer or its affiliate for (i) any employee costs for the time spent, over and above a total of twenty (20) hours, by any Hotel employee assisting with either of the City audits, and (ii) any additional out of pocket costs incurred by Buyer or its affiliate or any additional costs or expenses charged by Hotel Manager in connection with such City audits.
