2.5 Assumption of Liabilities. Except as specifically set forth herein, Purchaser will assume no obligations or liabilities which may have accrued relating to the ownership or operation of the Property prior to the Closing Date. Purchaser will only assume such lease and contract obligations relating to the Property which are specifically identified in Section 1 and assigned pursuant to this Agreement, provided however, that, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser shall not be obligated to assume any employment, retention, management, license or consultative agreements of Seller, its agents, its managers or the employees of same which currently serves Seller or the Property or is responsible for the operations of same in any manner, either direct or indirect.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, after negotiating in good faith, the parties hereto are unable to agree on a mutually satisfactory allocation, each of Purchaser and Seller shall use its own allocation for purposes of

this Section 2.6, it being agreed that the allocation of the Purchase Price used by Purchaser and Seller pursuant to this sentence may not necessarily be consistent. The provisions of this Section 2.6 shall survive the Closing. All personnel are currently employees of Vista Host, Inc. or its affiliate and shall remain employed by Vista Host, Inc. subsequent to Closing.

2.7 1031 Exchange. Seller and Purchaser agree to cooperate with each other in a commercially reasonable manner necessary to enable either party to qualify for a tax deferred exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code so long as there is no additional cost or liability to the party who has been asked to so cooperate and there is no delay or extension of the Closing Date.

The parties will work together to prepare and deliver to each other no later than ninety (90) days following the Closing Date (except with respect to any item which is not reasonably determinable within such time frame, as to which the time frame shall be extended until the earlier of (i) such date such item is reasonably determinable or (ii) two hundred seventy (270) days after the Closing Date, a schedule of prorations setting forth such party’s determination of prorations not determined at the Closing and any adjustments to the prorations made at Closing that it believes are necessary to complete the prorations as set forth in this Section 3.6; provided, however, that the timing for any adjustments relating to taxes shall be as set forth in Section 3.6(a). Any errors or omissions in computing adjustments or readjustments at the Closing or thereafter shall be promptly corrected or made, provided that the party seeking to correct such error or omission or to make such readjustment shall have notified the other party of such error or omission or readjustment on or prior to the date that is thirty (30) days following the receipt from the other party of such other party’s proposed adjustment or readjustment. The party owing the other party any sum pursuant to any adjustment, or readjustment or correction under this Section 3.6 shall pay such sum to the other party within fifteen (15) days after the same has been determined as set forth above.

3.7 Management Agreements. It is the understanding of Purchaser that Vista Host, Inc., an affiliate of Seller, is the manager of the Property (“Manager”). Seller will cause Manager to reasonably cooperate prior to the Closing in effecting an orderly transition of management of the Property, and Seller will terminate its existing management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Manager for the Property as of the Closing.

3.8 Hotel Safe. On the Closing Date, Seller shall cause the delivery to Purchaser of all of the keys to the safes in the Hotel. On the Closing Date, Seller shall give written notices or cause Manager to provide such notice to those persons who have deposited items in the safes, advising them of the sale of the Property to Purchaser and requesting the removal or verification of their contents in the safes. All such removals or verifications on the Closing Date shall be under the supervision of Seller’s and Purchaser’s respective representatives. All contents that are to remain in the safe shall be recorded. Items belonging to guests who have not responded to such written notice by so removing and verifying their safe contents by the end of the Closing Date shall be recorded in the presence of the respective representatives. Any such contents so verified and recorded and thereafter remaining in the safes in the Hotel shall be the responsibility of Purchaser, and Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from any liability therefor. Seller hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from any liability arising from claims by guests for any loss of contents in the safe that existed prior to Closing but which were not recorded on the Closing Date.

3.9 Guests’ Property. All baggage or other property of patrons of the Hotels checked or left in care of the Hotel shall be listed in an inventory to be prepared in duplicate and signed by Seller’s and Purchaser’s representatives on the Closing Date. Purchaser shall be responsible from and after the Closing Date and will indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against all claims for all baggage and property listed in such inventory.

3.10 Holdback Amount. Escrow Agent shall hold back in escrow from Seller’s net proceeds at Closing an amount equal to Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000.00) (the “Holdback Amount”). The sole purpose for which the Holdback Amount may be applied is as to any amounts which Seller owes to Purchaser for post-Closing claims to the extent allowed and subject to any limitations set forth in this Agreement. For clarity, the Holdback Amount is intended as a source of payment, but not as a limitation of damages that may be claimed by Purchaser. Except as to any amounts claimed to be owed by Seller to Purchaser which amounts are specifically reflected in a lawsuit commenced against Seller within twelve (12) months after the Closing for damages based upon the post-Closing claim, Escrow Agent shall disburse the balance of the Holdback Amount to Seller immediately following the expiration of the twelve (12) month period. Prior to institution of any such lawsuit, Purchaser shall provide at least ten (10) days prior written notice to Seller, specifying the exact amount and nature of any such claim asserted by Purchaser against the Holdback Amount. Any lawsuit commenced against Seller must specifically set forth the exact amount which is claimed to be owed by Seller to Purchaser, and absent such specific amount being identified, Escrow Agent is authorized to release the entire Holdback Amount to Seller immediately following the expiration of the twelve month (12) month period post-Closing. Any portion of the Holdback Amount which Escrow Agent is entitled to retain pursuant to this Section 3.10 after the passage of the twelve (12) month period, shall continue to be held in escrow pending final and unappealable dismissal or judgment in the action or actions timely commenced by Purchaser or settled pursuant to a written agreement between Seller and Purchaser. If Purchaser obtains a final and unappealable judgment in any such action, Escrow Agent is directed to make a disbursement to Purchaser from the Holdback Amount retained in escrow in the amount of the judgment plus any interest, attorney’s fees, and costs to which it is entitled thereon upon presentation to Escrow Agent and Seller of the court order or other evidence of such final and unappealable judgment. Once all such actions are either finally or unappealably dismissed or a final and unappealable judgment is entered therein or settled pursuant to a written agreement between Seller and Purchaser, and any amount of damages due to Purchaser is paid, whether from the Holdback Amount or otherwise, Escrow Agent is directed to disburse to Seller any remaining balance of the Holdback Amount. The parties shall execute any additional escrow instructions not inconsistent with the foregoing reasonably required by Escrow Agent or either party relating to the Holdback Amount. Escrow Agent’s fees and costs for holding and disbursing the Holdback Amount shall be shared equally by Seller and Purchaser.

3.11 Tax And Withholding Payments and Filing of Tax Returns. Following the Closing and on or before the due date thereof, Seller will file or cause its Manager to file any tax returns and pay any taxes, employee withholding, worker’s compensation premiums, and any other amounts due to any governmental authority arising out of the operation of the Property due for the final period of Seller’s ownership that are necessary for Purchaser to obtain a clearance certificate from the State in which the Real Property is located. Seller shall take and cause Manager to any other steps that may be necessary on their part for Purchaser to obtain the clearance certificates and shall generally cooperate with Purchaser in its effort to obtain the clearance certificates. Seller’s obligations under this Section 3.11 shall survive the Closing.

4. Title.

4.1 Purchaser’s Title Insurance Commitment. Purchaser shall, within three (3) business days from the Effective Date, submit an order for a preliminary title insurance commitment from the Escrow Agent (the “Title Company”), agreeing to issue to Purchaser, upon the recording of the Deed, an owner’s ALTA extended coverage title insurance policy in the amount of the Purchase Price insuring the marketability of the fee title of Purchaser to the Real Property, subject only to the exceptions approved by Purchaser, as hereinafter provided in this Section 4, or created by Purchaser (the “Title Insurance Policy”). Purchaser shall deliver a copy of the preliminary title insurance commitment to Seller promptly upon receipt of same from the Title Company.

4.2 Purchaser’s Review of Title Insurance Commitment. If Purchaser finds objectionable any exception to title shown in the title insurance commitment, Purchaser shall notify Seller of Purchaser’s objection thereto no later than ten (10) days prior to the expiration date of the Initial Due Diligence Period (as hereinafter defined). Seller shall be entitled, in its sole discretion, to elect to cure any such defects, by written notice of such election to be delivered to Purchaser within ten (10) days from the date of notification by Purchaser. In the event Seller fails to make such election to cure in such time period, then Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure any such defects. If Seller elects (or is deemed to have elected) not to cure any such defects or if such defect(s) shall not have been removed from the commitment by endorsement thereto at the expiration of the Initial Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall have the option of either : (a) accepting title to the Real Property as it then exists subject to all such defects, or (b) terminating this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Seller, with a copy to Escrow Agent, in which event Escrow Agent shall immediately, without further authorization or direction, refund the Deposit to Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds within two (2) business days, and upon the return of the Deposit, the parties shall be relieved of all further obligations hereunder (and this Agreement shall be rendered null, void and of no further effect), except with respect to those obligations which expressly survive any termination of this Agreement. Those exceptions set forth on the title insurance commitment which are not objected to or are not otherwise cured pursuant to this Section 4.2 and real estate taxes for the year in which the Closing takes place shall be “Permitted Exceptions” for purposes of this Agreement.

4.3 Survey. Purchaser may obtain at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense from a surveyor licensed in the state in which the Real Property is located either an update of the existing survey of the Real Property required to be provided by Seller or a new survey. The survey or updated survey will be certified to Purchaser, Seller, the Title Company, and Purchaser’s lender, if any. Purchaser shall deliver a copy of the survey to Seller promptly upon receipt of same from the surveyor. In the event that the survey shows any encroachments, gores, or any other defect(s), Purchaser shall give written notice of such defect(s) to Seller no later than ten (10) days before the expiration of the Initial Due Diligence Period, in which event said defect(s) shall be governed in the same manner and time as objections to the condition of title are dealt with herein and the parties shall have the same rights, privileges and obligations as if the defect(s) so specified were defect(s) in the condition of title.

4.4 Action Subsequent to Effective Date. From and after the Effective Date, Seller shall not take any action which would adversely impair or otherwise adversely affect title to any portion of the Real Property, and shall not record or cause to be recorded, any documents in the public records which would adversely affect title to the Real Property, without the prior written consent of Purchaser.

5. Due Diligence Period.

5.1 Due Diligence Period. Purchaser and its agents, independent contractors, consultants, employees or any other representatives (“Purchaser’s Representatives”), shall have the right until 5:00 p.m. in the city and state in which the Property is located on that day which is forty-five (45) days after the Effective Date (“Initial Due Diligence Period”), to enter upon the Property and the Real Property during normal business hours and with reasonable prior notice to Kathie A. Long (“Seller’s Agent”), for testing, surveying, engineering and other reasonable inspection purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) prior to the expiration of the Initial Due Diligence Period, Purchaser may, at its sole election, extend this period for an additional fifteen (15) days (“Extended Due Diligence Period”) (the Extended Due Diligence Period, together with the Initial Due Diligence Period, collectively the “Due Diligence Period”) by providing prior written notice to Seller for the sole purpose of one or more of the following: (a) accommodating the receipt of franchise approval by Hilton on terms and conditions acceptable to Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion, including but not limited to a term of at least fifteen (15) years after Closing, and (b) the completion of the audits required by Purchaser as a public company. For clarification purposes only, Purchaser agrees that it shall have completed its physical, financial and legal due diligence, including without limitation with respect to title, survey, zoning and land use, permitting and licensing, environmental, engineering, property condition and financial underwriting that Purchaser elects to do, on or before the expiration of the Initial Due Diligence Period, except for any remaining audit work or work on obtaining Hilton approval. During the Due Diligence Period, Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives in furnishing documents and information reasonably necessary and required by Purchaser in its investigation. All such activities shall be conducted in such a fashion so as not to materially (i) interfere with the rights or property of any tenants, guests, invitees, or others with any possessory interest in any part of any portion of the Property, (ii) cause any damage or make any physical changes to any of the Property or (iii) otherwise unreasonably interfere with the operation of the Property. No inspection shall be undertaken without reasonable prior notice to Seller’s Agent (which need not exceed forty-eight (48) hours, or more time, if feasible) for such purpose, but Purchaser shall provide its best efforts to maximize the prior notice period to Seller in order to enable Seller to arrange adequate staffing prior to such inspection. Seller shall have the right to have Seller’s Agent present at any and all inspections and to receive a copy of any and all inspection reports. Neither Purchaser nor Purchaser’s Representatives shall contact or communicate with any contractors, vendors, licensees, tenants or guests or employees of Seller without the prior consent of Seller, except for the general manager of the Hotel. No inspection shall involve the taking of samples or other physically invasive procedures without the prior consent of Seller, such consent to be in Seller’s sole discretion. Purchaser, at its own expense, shall restore any damage to the Property caused by any of the tests or studies made by Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s Representatives. Purchaser shall on behalf of itself and Purchaser’s Representatives, indemnify and hold Seller, and its employees, guests, contractors, tenants, Manager and their respective invitees, harmless of, from and against any and all liabilities, suits,

claims, losses, damages, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, Attorneys Fees sustained by or asserted against any of them or the Property, including, but not limited to, property damage, personal injury and any mechanics’ and materialman’s liens, caused by or arising out of or in connection with any testing, inspection or examinations of the Property conducted by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives, except to the extent arising due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Seller and its representatives or any pre-existing conditions discovered by Purchaser. Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives shall maintain at all times during their entry upon any of the Property for the purpose of conducting any due diligence activities (a) Workers Compensation Insurance in full compliance with applicable law, and (b) commercial general liability insurance with limits of not less than One Million Dollars combined single limit, bodily injury, death and property damage insurance per occurrence and Two Million Dollars in the aggregate. Prior to any entry upon any Property, Purchaser (or Purchaser’s Representative) will deliver a certificate issued by the insurance carrier of each such policy to Seller, such insurance to name Seller as an additional insured. The provisions of this Section 5.1 will survive any termination of this Agreement or the Closing.

5.2 Due Diligence List. Within five (5) days after the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser, its agents or employees (or otherwise make available to Purchaser, its agents or employees at Seller’s or Manager’s offices or the Property) (a) full and complete copies of the information and documents listed on Exhibit “C” attached hereto, to the extent that such items are in Seller’s or Manager’s possession, are not by its nature “stale” or out of date (including any information that is greater than 3 years old), and readily available without any undue hardship to locate same by Seller or Manager, and (b) a copy of any existing ALTA Survey in Seller’s possession or reasonable control paid for by Seller showing the Improvements as built. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.4 hereof (or any other confidentiality agreement between the parties), upon Seller’s prior consent, Purchaser or its representatives may contact any governmental authority for the sole purpose of gathering information in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, consent from Seller will not be required for (i) authorized third parties conducting reasonable and customary inquiries with respect to their applicable reports, including surveys and zoning, engineering, geotechnical and environmental inspections as permitted under this Agreement or (ii) generic inquiries to governmental authorities that do not identify the Property.

5.3 Termination During Due Diligence Period. At any time prior to the expiration of the Initial Due Diligence Period, Purchaser or Purchaser’s attorney shall, by giving written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent, have the right, in its sole discretion, and with or without cause, to terminate this Agreement and receive the return of the Deposit, in which case the Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit to Purchaser, without further authorization or direction, by wire transfer of immediately available funds within two (2) business days, and upon the return of the Deposit, the parties shall have no further obligations under this Agreement, except for those which expressly survive any termination of this Agreement. At any time prior to the expiration of the Extended Due Diligence Period (including as such may have been extended one time pursuant to the terms of Section 5.1), Purchaser or Purchaser’s attorney shall have the right, solely in the event of a failure of the Diligence Contingency (as hereinafter defined), to terminate the Agreement and receive the return of the Deposit by giving written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent specifying the reason for such termination, including the

Diligence Contingency that has not been satisfied and the reasons therefor. If Purchaser terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section 5.3, the Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit to Purchaser, without further authorization or direction, by wire transfer of immediately available funds within two (2) business days, and upon the return of the Deposit, the parties shall have no further obligations under this Agreement, except for those which expressly survive any termination of this Agreement. In any such event, Purchaser shall be responsible for all reasonable termination charges of Escrow Agent.

5.4 Confidentiality. Purchaser agrees that all information furnished to Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives by Seller or its agents or representatives during, prior to or after the Due Diligence Period will be confidential and will not be disclosed to any third parties without the express written consent of Seller, provided however that such information may be disclosed by Purchaser to Purchaser’s Representatives, Purchaser’s lenders, those representatives who are engaged to assist Purchaser’s lenders in processing Purchaser’s loans, or any franchisor or franchisor representatives in connection with the assignment or reissuance of the Existing Franchise Agreement. In the event that the Closing does not occur for any reason, all information furnished to or obtained by Purchaser shall be returned to Seller, no copies will be retained by Purchaser, and Purchaser shall be required to maintain the confidentiality of such materials, data, and information following termination of this Agreement. In such case, Purchaser will cause Purchaser’s Representatives to return any confidential information in their possession to Seller and confirm that no copies have been retained. Furthermore, upon any termination of this Agreement, Purchaser will deliver to Seller for its benefit and use, without any charge to Seller, all due diligence and reports prepared by or for the benefit of Purchaser with respect to the Property (other than Purchaser’s internal financial underwriting due diligence), including without limitation, surveys, engineering and/or property condition reports, title reports, environmental reports, and zoning reports. The provisions of this Section 5.4 will survive any termination of this Agreement.

5.5 Amendment of Schedules. Seller will have the right to amend the Schedules attached hereto during the Initial Due Diligence Period in the event Seller or Purchaser should determine that the information on such schedule is incomplete or inaccurate (or needs to be updated) and this shall not be an event of default.

5.6 Access to Property Information. For a period of time commencing on the Effective Date and continuing until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement or the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller shall provide, and shall direct its accountants to provide, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, Purchaser and its representatives with reasonable access to information relating to the Property, which information is relevant and reasonably necessary, in the reasonable opinion of the outside accountants selected by Purchaser, to enable Purchaser and Purchaser’s outside accountants to prepare and file financial statements, pro formas and any and all other information in compliance (at Purchaser’s cost) with any or all of: (a) Regulation S-X of the SEC; and (b) any registration statement, 424(b) prospectus, report or disclosure statement filed with the SEC by or on behalf of Purchaser. Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser, at Purchaser’s cost, to cause any SEC audit requirements to be completed and delivered to Purchaser within a reasonable time period to ensure that all SEC filing requirements are met. Seller shall also provide and/or shall cause its accountants, as applicable, to provide to Purchaser’s outside accountants an engagement letter (with cost to be borne by Purchaser), and a signed representation letter which would be sufficient to enable an independent public accountant to render an opinion on the financial statements related to the Property. The provisions in this Section 5.6 shall survive the Closing.

5.7 Franchise.

(a) Upon the Effective Date, Seller authorizes Purchaser to contact Hilton to seek assumption or re-issuance (as required by Hilton) of the applicable franchise license for the Hotel at Closing (the “Franchise Approval”). Immediately after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall reasonably promptly and diligently in good faith pursue obtaining, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, the written consent of Hilton for the Franchise Approval and the corresponding franchise and related agreements pertaining to the operation of the Hotel as a Home2 Suites Hotel after the Closing (collectively, the “New Franchise Agreement”) and providing for the release of Seller and any guarantors of Seller’s future obligations to Hilton effective as of the Closing.

(b) If Purchaser elects not to obtain the Franchise Approval (but instead elects another franchisor or brand or elects not to have any franchise or brand) or Purchaser does not obtain the Franchise Approval and does not terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 5.3 and proceeds to Closing, Purchaser shall (i) pay all cancellation fees, termination fees, removal fees or other amounts owed to Hilton as a result of cancellation and termination of the Existing Franchise Agreement, (ii) immediately upon Closing, cease operating the Property as a “System Hotel” within Hilton’s system, including, without limitation, not directly or indirectly representing or giving the impression that it is a present or former franchisee or licensee of Hilton or that the Property was previously a “System Hotel,” and (iii) immediately upon Closing, at its sole cost and expense, immediately and permanently remove or cause to be removed from the Property all identifying characteristics, marks and intellectual property of Hilton and its “System Hotels,” including, without limitation, all electronic systems, signs, fixtures, furniture, furnishings, equipment, advertising materials, stationery, supplies, forms and other items containing the words, trademark, service marks or insignia for a “System Hotel,” return to Hilton its intellectual property and other materials proprietary to Hilton, make such alterations as may be necessary and required by Hilton to distinguish the Property from its former appearance and other “System Hotels” and allow Hilton to enter upon the Property to complete any of the foregoing not completed by Purchaser within thirty (30) days after Closing (collectively, “De-Identification”). The De-Identification will involve, among other things, all de-identification required by the Existing Franchise Agreement and physical changes of distinctive features for a “System Hotel,” including removal of any free-standing sign down to the structural steel, to preclude any confusion, and compliance with all other requirements of the Existing Franchise Agreement that arise as a result of the sale of the Property to Purchaser. Upon Closing and in the event that Purchaser does not obtain the Franchise Approval from Hilton (but instead elects another franchise or brand or elects not to have any franchise or brand), Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation Attorneys Fees) arising from the termination of the Existing Franchise Agreement hereunder and/or Seller’s ability or inability to obtain a release of Seller or any Seller related guarantor of the Existing Franchise Agreement and any failure by Purchaser to comply with all obligations arising in connection with De-Identification and any obligations imposed by Hilton on the owner of the Property after Closing.

5.8 Cooperation of Seller. During the Due Diligence Period, Seller will reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in connection with Purchaser’s obtaining the Franchise Approval. All costs, fees and expenses associated with Purchaser obtaining the Franchise Approval (other than Seller’s expenses of cooperation) shall be the obligation of Purchaser, and Seller shall have no obligation for any such fees, costs or expenses.

5.9 PIP Requirements; Credit against the Purchase Price. In the event of Closing, except as hereinafter provided, Purchaser will be solely responsible for the cost and expense of any of the improvements required to be made pursuant to any “Change of Ownership Property Improvement Plan Reports” (“PIP”) or otherwise required by Hilton, without any reimbursement from Seller or reduction in the Purchase Price. If the cost as reasonably estimated by Purchaser of complying with the PIP requirements that Hilton requires to be commenced within eighteen (18) months after the Closing (the “18 Month PIP Requirements”) for all 4 Hotel Properties exceeds an aggregate total of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) (the amount of the excess being referred to as the “Aggregate Excess Cost”), Purchaser shall be entitled to a reduction of the purchase price only as to any of the 4 Hotel Properties for which the applicable 18 Month PIP Requirements reflects a cost reasonably estimated by Purchaser to be in excess of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) (the “Hotel Excess Cost”). The reductions of purchase prices by the Aggregate Excess Cost shall be allocated among those of the 4 Hotel Properties having a Hotel Excess Cost as follows. Each of the 4 Hotel Properties having a Hotel Excess Cost shall be allocated a reduction equal to the Aggregate Excess Cost multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Hotel Excess Cost for that hotel, and the denominator of which is the aggregate Hotel Excess Costs. By way of example, assume the estimated costs for the 4 Hotel Properties are respectively $100,000 (Hotel 1), $75,000 (Hotel 2), $35,000 (Hotel 3), and $25,000 (Hotel 4), resulting in an Aggregate Excess Cost of $35,000 and a Hotel Excess Cost of $50,000 for Hotel 1 and $25,000 for Hotel 2. The purchase price reductions based upon the $35,000 Aggregate Excess Cost would be: Hotel 1, $50,000 x ($35,000/$75,000) or $23,333,33, Hotel 2, $25,000 x ($35,000/$75,000), or $11,666,67, and $0 for Hotels 3 and 4.

5.10 Diligence Contingency. Purchaser shall be entitled until the end of the Due Diligence Period to confirm the receipt of the Franchise Approval with respect to the Hotel in a form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser (the “Diligence Contingency”), provided that Purchaser will diligently and promptly pursue the Franchise Approval in good faith following the execution of this Agreement. Purchaser will provide Seller with regular and prompt updates of the progress on the Franchise Approval, upon request of Seller. In the event that Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period as provided for in Section 5.3, then Purchaser shall have waived the Diligence Contingency as a condition to Closing.

5.11 Estoppels. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain letters from each tenant under the Leases in a form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser indicating (i) that neither the landlord nor tenant are in default under the lease; (ii) the amount of any security deposit paid; (iii) the amount of rent paid; (iv) the termination date of the Lease as well

as any options to extend; (v) whether or not any prepaid rent has been paid to the Seller; and (vi) any other matter reasonably requested by Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, receipt of such letters shall not be a condition to Closing under this Agreement and shall not delay the Closing Date, and Purchaser shall be required to take title to the Property at Closing regardless of whether such letters have been obtained.

5.12 Liquor Licenses. If applicable, Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser on and prior to Closing to allow Purchaser, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, to obtain all alcoholic beverage licenses (collectively, the “New Liquor Permits”) necessary to operate the restaurants, bars and lounges presently located within the Hotel (without delaying Closing or reducing the Purchase Price, and such matters shall in no event constitute any breach or default by Seller or any failure of a condition hereunder). In order to provide for the orderly transition of the Hotel, Seller and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate each with the other, and Purchaser shall diligently take all required actions to allow for continued operation under licenses held by Seller or Manager (“Licensee”). If permitted under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Hotel is located, such parties shall promptly execute or cause to be executed and filed all necessary transfer forms, applications and papers with the appropriate alcoholic beverage authorities prior to Closing, to the end that the transfer or issuance of the related alcoholic beverages licenses, and corresponding conveyance of the alcoholic beverage inventory, to Purchaser or Purchaser’s licensee such that the same shall take effect, if possible, simultaneously with Closing. If not so permitted, then Seller shall instruct Manager and Licensee to reasonably cooperate with the appropriate alcoholic beverage authorities in order to effect such transfer or issuance at the earliest date possible in order that the alcoholic beverages licenses may be transferred or re-issued, and corresponding conveyance of the alcoholic beverage inventory as permitted by applicable law, at the earliest possible time provided the same shall be at no cost, expense or liability to Seller, Manager or Licensee. If the alcoholic beverages licenses cannot be transferred or reissued until after the Closing, and if such procedure is approved by the appropriate alcoholic beverage authorities, Seller will instruct Licensee to reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in keeping open the bars and lounges and liquor facilities of the Hotel between the Closing Date and the time when the alcoholic beverages licenses transfer or reissuance actually become effective, by exercising management and supervision of such facilities under the existing alcoholic beverages licenses, which may include entering into lease agreements and management agreements in form and content reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, Seller and Licensee (the “Interim Beverage Agreement”); provided, however that (i) Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller and Licensee harmless from any liability, damages or claims incurred in connection with such operations during said period of time, and Purchaser shall procure and pay for dram shop liability insurance naming Seller and Licensee as insured parties thereunder, and (ii) the obligation of Seller to cooperate (and cause the Licensee to cooperate) and keep open the liquor facilities of the Hotel shall terminate on the earlier of thirty (30) days after the Closing or when Purchaser obtains its alcoholic beverages licenses and is permitted to keep open the liquor facilities at the Hotel; provided that Purchaser shall diligently pursue such alcoholic beverages licenses. Subject to the requirements set forth above, Purchaser acknowledges that the transfer or reissuance of any alcoholic beverage licenses is not a condition of Purchaser’s obligations to proceed to Closing or to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

5.13 Management. Seller and Purchaser’s operating lessee intend that Manager will continue to be the hotel manager after the Closing, and in contemplation thereof, Seller, Purchaser’s operating lessee, and Manager have negotiated and approved the form of Hotel Management Agreement attached to this Agreement as Exhibit “I” (the “New Hotel Management Agreement”). If either Purchaser’s operating lessee or Manager ultimately decides at or prior to Closing not to enter into the New Hotel Management Agreement, then Purchaser or its operating lessee, at its option, may elect to have Manager operate and manage the Hotel for first ninety (90) days after the Closing, in which case by joining in this Agreement, Manager agrees to execute and deliver through escrow at Closing a hotel management agreement in the form of Exhibit “I,” except for a change in the term to ninety (90) days after Closing (the “Interim Hotel Management Agreement”).

(a) No Registration. Seller acknowledges its understanding that the Units to be acquired pursuant to this Agreement are not being registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable state blue sky laws pursuant to a specific exemption or exemptions therefrom, and Purchaser’s reliance on such exemptions is predicated in part on the accuracy and completeness of the representations and warranties of Seller. In furtherance thereof, Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser as follows:

(b) Investment. Seller is acquiring the Units solely for Seller’s own account for the purpose of investment and not as a nominee or agent for any other Person and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof. Seller agrees and acknowledges that it will not, directly or indirectly, offer, transfer, sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of (each, a “Transfer”) any of the Units, unless (i) the Transfer is pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act and qualification or other compliance under applicable blue sky or state securities laws, (ii) no such registration is required because of the availability of an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act, or (iii) the Transfer is otherwise permitted by the limited partnership agreement of Purchaser. Purchaser shall place a restrictive legend on any certificate representing the Units, or if applicable, any securities of Condor Hospitality Trust, Inc. (the “REIT”) issued in redemption and/or conversion, containing substantially the following language:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF EITHER AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER, IF REQUESTED BY THE ISSUER, THAT SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

The parties acknowledge that the Seller’s ownership of Units will be reflected on the books of Purchaser and the issuance of a certificate representing the Units is not anticipated to occur.

(c) Accredited Investor. Seller is an “accredited investor” (as such term is defined in Rule 501 (a) of Regulation D under the 1933 Act).

(d) Reliance on Exemptions. Seller understands that the Units are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that Purchaser is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of Seller’s representations and warranties in this Agreement in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of Seller to acquire the Units.

(e) No Governmental Review. Seller understands that neither the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) nor any other federal or state governmental authority has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Units, or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Units, nor have such governmental authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Units.

(f) Information and Knowledge. Seller, or its representative, acknowledges and agrees that Seller has received, read and understood the limited partnership agreement of Purchaser, as amended, the articles of incorporation of the REIT, as amended, the bylaws of the REIT and the REIT’s most recent Form 10-K as filed with, and the REIT’s Form 10-Q’s, Form 8-K’s and proxy statements subsequently filed with the SEC. Seller, or its representative, has had an opportunity to obtain, and has received, any additional information and has had an opportunity to ask such questions of, and receive answers from, Purchaser, the REIT or an agent or representative of Purchaser and the REIT, to the extent deemed necessary by Seller in order to form a decision concerning an investment in Purchaser or the REIT. As a result, Seller believes it has sufficient knowledge about the business, management and financial affairs of Purchaser and the REIT and the terms and conditions of the purchase of the Units and any securities of the REIT issued in redemption and/or conversion.

(g) Risk of Loss. Seller is able to bear the economic risk of investment in the Units and any securities of the REIT issued in redemption and/or conversion, including the total loss of such investment.

(ix) To Seller’s Knowledge, each Employee Benefit Plan intended to be qualified under Code Section 401(a) has received a favorable determination or opinion letter from the IRS as to its qualification under the Code that has not been revoked and provides that any related trust is qualified under Code Section 501(a), and such letter(s) have been provided by Seller or Manager. To Seller’s Knowledge, no event has occurred respecting any such Qualified Plan which could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the qualification of such Qualified Plan or exemption of the related trust.

(xi) To Seller’s Knowledge, each Employee Benefit Plan has been operated and administered in all material respects by Manager in compliance with its terms and all applicable laws. To Seller’s Knowledge, there are no pending or threatened claims against, by or on behalf of any Employee Benefit Plans (other than routine claims for benefits under the terms of any such benefit plan).

(xii) To Seller’s Knowledge, no Employee Benefit Plan provides for welfare benefits after termination of employment except as required by COBRA and at the expense of the participant or beneficiaries.

Following the Closing, no claim for a breach of any representation or warranty of Seller under this Agreement shall be actionable or payable unless (a) the breach in question results from or is based on a condition, state of facts or other matter which was not known to Purchaser at or prior to Closing, and (b) written notice containing a description of the specific nature of such breach shall have been given by Purchaser to Seller within the survival period provided for above, and (c) a legal action shall have been filed and unless service is not possible, served by Purchaser against Seller within the survival period.

If Purchaser has not terminated this Agreement due to the Substantial Damage, Seller shall timely file and process a claim respecting the Substantial Damage with its insurer, but shall not settle or adjust the claim without obtaining Purchaser’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. For purposes of this Agreement, “Substantial Damage” shall mean any casualty or loss resulting in a repair expense in excess of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) or any damage which results in the Franchisor refusing to enter into the New Franchise Agreement.

the Property (other than on account of business or rental interruption relating to the period prior to Closing but including all business or rental interruption relating to the period on or after Closing) shall be delivered or assigned to Purchaser at Closing, and Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of the deductible. Seller shall timely file and process a claim respecting the damage with its insurer, but shall not settle or adjust the claim without obtaining Purchaser’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

If any governmental authority or other entity having condemnation authority shall take the Property or any portion thereof or institute an eminent domain proceeding by delivering written notice thereof to Seller and the same is not dismissed prior to the Closing, subject to any superseding rights of Seller’s first mortgage lender and/or franchisor:

10.1 Substantial Taking. In the event of a Substantial Taking (as hereinafter defined), Purchaser may, at its option, either (a) terminate this Agreement by written notice thereof to Seller and Escrow Agent given within fifteen (15) days after receipt of notice from Seller as to such actual Substantial Taking, whereupon the Deposit will be returned to Purchaser and the parties shall have no further obligations under this Agreement, except for those which expressly survive any termination of this Agreement; or (b) proceed to close the transaction contemplated herein without any delay pursuant to the terms hereof, in which event Seller shall assign to Purchaser any and all damages, awards or other compensation arising from or attributable to such Substantial Taking (other than on account of business or rental interruption relating to the period prior to Closing but including all business or rental interruption relating to the period on or after Closing). If Purchaser elects option (b), Purchaser shall have the right to participate in any such proceedings. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Substantial Taking” shall mean any acquisition or condemnation for any public or quasi-public purpose which permanently hinders or interferes with the use and value of the Real Property and which cannot be restored to substantially the same use and value as before the taking. Any taking involving property with a value in excess of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) shall be deemed to be a Substantial Taking. If the Scheduled Closing Date is less than the full fifteen (15) day period for Purchaser to make its determination of whether to terminate or close, the Scheduled Closing Date shall be extended to five (5) business days after expiration of the full fifteen (15) day period.

10.2 Less Than Substantial Taking. In the event of a less than Substantial Taking, the parties shall proceed to close this transaction without any delay and any proceeds actually received by Seller and attributable to the acquisition or condemnation, and any right Seller may have to receive proceeds attributable to the acquisition or condemnation shall be delivered or assigned to Purchaser at Closing (other than on account of business or rental interruption relating to the period prior to Closing but including all business or rental interruption relating to the period on or after Closing), and there shall be no reduction in the Purchase Price. Purchaser shall have the right to participate in any such proceedings, and Seller shall not settle any condemnation claim without obtaining Purchaser’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

Purchaser is not engaged in the transaction contemplated by this Agreement directly or indirectly on behalf of, or facilitating such transaction directly or indirectly on behalf of, any such person.

12. Conditions of Purchaser’s Obligations. Purchaser’s obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are conditioned upon the satisfaction (or written or deemed waiver by Purchaser) of each of the following conditions:

(a) The representations and warranties and disclosures made by Seller in Section 6 shall be true and correct in all material respects when made and at the time of the Closing, subject to changes occurring in accordance with this Agreement disclosed in the bring down certificate;

(b) Seller shall have discharged its material obligations under this Agreement, and all the sellers under each of the Affiliate Agreements shall have discharged their material obligations under the Affiliate Agreements;

(c) Seller shall have delivered to the Title Company for the benefit of Purchaser all documents and deliveries required to be so delivered pursuant to Section 3.2;

(d) Seller shall have terminated the Management Agreement at Seller’s sole cost and expense;

(e) If applicable, to the extent Purchaser has not received the New Liquor Permits and has otherwise complied with Section 5.12, Seller or Licensee, as applicable, shall have entered into and executed the Interim Beverage Agreement;

(f) Concurrent Closing of this Agreement with closing of each of the Affiliate Agreements shall have occurred, except for any Affiliate Agreement as to which the closing is not occurring as a result of a default of Purchaser thereunder. However, if the closing under the Affiliate Agreement for the Home2 Suites Hotel, Southaven, Mississippi (the “Southaven Affiliate Agreement”) is delayed to allow additional time to satisfy the condition in Section 12(g) thereof regarding a loan assumption, then the concurrent closing under that Affiliate Agreement shall not be a condition of the Closing under this Agreement;

(g) Purchaser or its operating lessee and Franchisor shall have executed and delivered the New Franchise Agreement, on terms (including respecting any PIP required by the Franchisor) acceptable to Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion;

(h) Title Company shall have committed to issue the Title Insurance Policy for the Property, subject to the payment by Purchaser of any fees and expenses respecting the Title Insurance Policy required to be paid by Purchaser under Section 3.5; and

(i) If pursuant to Section 5.13, Purchaser or its operating lessee has elected to enter into the Interim Hotel Management Agreement with Manager, Manager shall have duly executed and delivered the Interim Hotel Management Agreement.

If any of the conditions set forth in this Section 13 are not satisfied as of the Scheduled Closing Date, other than as a result of Purchaser’s or any of its affiliate’s own actions or failure to act or a breach of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement, then except as provided below, the Scheduled Closing Date shall be extended one time for thirty (30) days, and if the conditions are not satisfied by the extended Scheduled Closing Date, other than as a result of

Purchaser’s or any of its affiliate’s own actions or failure to act or a breach of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement, Purchaser shall have the right to (a) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and all other rights and obligations of Seller and Purchaser under this Agreement (except those set forth in this Agreement that expressly survive a termination of this Agreement) shall terminate immediately, or (b) waive such condition(s) and proceed to Closing. For the sake of clarity, if the Scheduled Closing Date under any of the Affiliate Agreements is extended for thirty (30) days pursuant to the similar provision in Section 12 of any of the Affiliate Agreements to allow for satisfaction of conditions therein, the Scheduled Closing Date under this Agreement shall also be extended for thirty (30) days. However, unless Purchaser agrees, the Scheduled Closing Date shall not be extended for thirty (30) days, if either the Hilton approval of the New Franchise Agreement or any commitment that Purchaser may have for financing the purchase of the Property shall expire during the thirty (30) day period.

13. Conditions of Seller’s Obligations. Seller’s obligations to consummate the transaction contemplated hereunder are conditioned upon the satisfaction (or written or deemed waiver by Seller) of each of the following conditions at or prior to the Closing:

(a) The representations and warranties and disclosures made by Purchaser in Section 11 shall be true and correct in all material respects when made and at the time of the Closing;

(b) Purchaser shall have discharged its material obligations under this Agreement;

(c) Purchaser shall have delivered to the Title Company for the benefit of Seller all documents and deliveries required to be so delivered pursuant to Section 3.4; and

(d) Concurrent Closing of this Agreement with closing of each of the Affiliate Agreements shall have occurred, except for any Affiliate Agreement that has been terminated by Purchaser under Section 9 or 10 thereof or as to which the closing is not occurring as a result of the seller’s or any of its affiliate’s own actions or failure to act or a breach of the seller’s obligations under the Affiliate Agreement. However, if the closing under the Southaven Affiliate Agreement is delayed to allow additional time to satisfy the condition in Section 12(g) thereof regarding a loan assumption, then the concurrent closing under that Affiliate Agreement shall not be a condition of the Closing under this Agreement.

If any of the conditions set forth in this Section 13 are not satisfied as of the date that is thirty (30) days after the Scheduled Closing Date, other than as a result of Seller’s or any of its affiliate’s own actions or failure to act or a breach of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement, then except as provided below, Seller shall have the right to (a) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall be sent to Seller and all other rights and obligations of Seller and Purchaser under this Agreement (except those set forth in this Agreement that expressly survive a termination of this Agreement) shall terminate immediately, or (b) waive such condition(s) and proceed to Closing. For the sake of clarity, if the Scheduled Closing Date under any of the Affiliate Agreements is delayed for thirty (30) days pursuant to the similar provision in Section 13 of any of the Affiliate Agreements to allow for satisfaction of conditions therein, the Scheduled Closing Date under this Agreement shall also be delayed for thirty (30) days.

14. Seller’s Default. If Seller fails to perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement, Purchaser shall provide Seller with written notice describing such default. In the event Seller fails to cure such default within ten (10) days of receipt of written notice, Purchaser, at its option and as its sole and exclusive remedy, may (i) terminate this Agreement, in which case the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Deposit to Purchaser, and Seller shall pay to Purchaser damages equal to the lesser of (A) the aggregate amount of out of pocket costs paid or incurred by Purchaser in negotiating and entering into this Agreement, performing its due diligence and audit, obtaining the New Franchise Agreement, and preparing for the Closing, or (B) one percent (1%) of the Purchase Price, and upon return of the Deposit to Purchaser and payment by Seller of the damages due to Purchaser (which Seller agrees to pay within ten (10) days after delivery of a demand notice from Purchaser accompanied by verification of its expenses paid or incurred, and if not paid when due, shall thereafter bear in interest until paid at the lesser of ten percent (10%) per annum or the maximum amount allowed by applicable law), this Agreement shall terminate, and Seller and Purchaser shall have no further rights, liabilities, or obligations under this Agreement, except those which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement; (ii) seek to specifically enforce the terms and conditions of this Agreement (in order to maintain an action for specific performance, Purchaser shall not be required to have delivered to the Title Company the remaining balance of the cash portion of the Purchase Price as long as Purchaser is ready, willing, and able to do so, and Purchaser furnishes reasonable evidence of Purchaser’s ability to timely perform all obligations of Purchaser); or (iii) proceed to Closing notwithstanding such default. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, the limit in (i) on Purchaser’s damage remedy shall not be applicable, if through affirmative actions of Seller (such as a deeding of the Property to another person), the specific performance remedy is not available to Purchaser. Also, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Section 14 shall limit Seller’s obligation to pay to Purchaser the Attorneys Fees to the extent required pursuant to Section 23 in order to enforce the provisions of this Section.

15. Purchaser’s Default. If Purchaser fails to perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement, Seller shall provide Purchaser with written notice describing such default. In the event Purchaser fails to cure such default within ten (10) days of receipt of written notice, Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the right to terminate this Agreement, in which case the Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver the Deposit to Seller, at which time this Agreement shall terminate, and Seller and Purchaser shall have no further rights, liabilities, or obligations under this Agreement, except those which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement. The Seller’s retention of the Deposit shall be deemed to constitute agreed upon liquidated damages, and shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of Seller. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Section 15 shall limit Purchaser’s obligation to comply with the indemnity provisions of this Agreement applicable to Purchaser and to pay to Seller the Attorneys Fees to the extent required pursuant to Section 23 in order to enforce the provisions of this Section.

16. Limitation of Remedies. If Closing shall take place under this Agreement, no claim for a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty of Seller will be actionable or payable if the breach in question results from, or is based on, a condition, state of facts or other matter which was actually known to Purchaser prior to Closing. In no event shall Seller’s

aggregate liability to Purchaser for breach of any covenants, representations or warranties of Seller in this Agreement or otherwise under this Agreement, or under any other documents or deliveries by Seller in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement exceed the amount of five percent (5%) of the Purchase Price, except that any Seller liability under Section 34.1, which is insured, shall not count against or be subject to the limitation on liability. In no event shall any claim by Purchaser for a breach of any representation or warranty of Seller be actionable against Seller until the aggregate of such claims exceeds Twenty-Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($25,000.00). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in no event will Seller be liable for any consequential, incidental, special, indirect, punitive or treble damages or lost profits, whether based on statute, contract, tort or otherwise. The provisions of this Section 16 shall survive the Closing.

17. Brokers. Except for (i) Hodges Ward Elliott who has been engaged by Seller and for whose fees Seller will be responsible, neither Purchaser nor Seller has engaged a broker or sales agent for the purpose of introducing Purchaser to Seller or the transaction contemplated in this matter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party shall be solely responsible for the payment of all brokerage fees which may become due and payable to any broker hired by such party in connection with the transaction, and Purchaser shall be solely responsible for any broker or other agent fees arising as a result of any equity or debt raising activities conducted by Purchaser or its affiliates to consummate the transactions described in this Agreement. Seller and Purchaser shall indemnify and hold each of the other harmless from all manner of claims which any broker hired by one party may assert against the other party for payment of commissions, fees, expenses and the like resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with such claim.

18. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the exhibits and schedules attached hereto constitute the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof and supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements or understandings between the parties, written or oral, which relate to the subject matter hereof but specifically excluding any confidentiality agreements entered into between the parties or their affiliates. Amendments to this Agreement may only be made in writing and executed by Purchaser and Seller.

19. Notices. Any notice or other communication hereunder to either party will be in writing and will be deemed to have been given when (i) personally delivered, (ii) transmitted by email, provided a confirmatory copy is provided in accordance with another method set forth in this section, (iii) sent by recognized overnight courier on the next day after mailing subject to confirmatory receipt or (iv) mailed by United States registered or certified mail on the third (3rd) business day after being so mailed, in any case delivered or addressed as follows, or to such other address as may be provided in accordance with this Section 19:

No later than November 1 of each year, Operator shall prepare and submit (following discussions with Lessee) to Lessee an annual operating budget and business plan for the operation of each Hotel for the forthcoming Fiscal Year containing detailed projections of Gross Hotel Income and budgets of Operating Expenses (the “Operating Budget”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the Fiscal Year in which this Agreement is executed Operator shall manage the Hotels in accordance with the then existing Operating Budget.

Operator shall review the Hotel Capital Budget and the Operating Budget with Lessee, and upon Lessee’s written approval of the Budget, it shall constitute the Approved Budget for the succeeding Fiscal Year and shall be implemented by Operator. In the event Lessee does not provide Operator with written objections to the Hotel Capital Budget and Operating Budget within 30 days following Lessee’s receipt of the same, they shall be deemed approved. If Lessee objects to any portion of the Hotel Capital Budget or the Operating Budget within 30 days after receipt of the same, or to any portion of the revisions within 20 days after submission of the revisions by Operator to Lessee, the parties hereto will call a special budget meeting to resolve the points of disagreement. In the event that Lessee and Operator are unable to agree on the Operating Budget for a Hotel prior to the commencement of the applicable Fiscal Year, an interim operating budget shall be implemented which will reflect CPI increases for expenses and RevPAR increases based on the appropriate previous 12-month RevPAR growth percentage for the sector in which the Hotel is included, as published by Smith Travel Research, for revenue growth over the prior year’s actual amounts, including automatic increases of any necessary expenses such as Real Estate Tax, franchise fees or insurance.

The effectiveness of any such notice of termination, however, shall be stayed until completion of the following applicable cure periods.

If the Hotel Performance Failure occurs with respect to a Fiscal Year, but the Hotel achieves as of the end of the immediately following three (3) months actual NOI of at least 100% of the budgeted NOI for such Hotel for such three (3) months, and 100% of such Hotel’s previous years running (3) month RevPAR index (as measured by STR), then the Individual Hotel Performance Failure shall be deemed cured and Lessee shall have no right to terminate for such Individual Hotel Performance Failure (and any notice of termination with respect thereto shall be deemed null and void).

If the Hotel, after the Operator has managed the Hotel for a consecutive twelve (12) month period, at any point, has a negative RevPAR change versus its competitive set, as of the date hereof, as measured by the monthly STR Report of greater than 10% for a running (12) month period (“Negative RevPAR Individual Hotel Performance Failure”), subject to the cure periods below, Lessee may terminate this Agreement with respect to the individual Hotel upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to Operator.

Said termination will be exercised by delivery of written notice to the other party not less than sixty (60) days prior to the effective date of termination which notice shall set forth the effective date of termination. For purposes hereof, a “change of control” shall be deemed to have occurred if, during the Operating Term, any of the following events occurs:

any “person”, as that term is used in Section 13(d) and Section 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), becomes, is discovered to be, or files a report on Schedule 13D or 14D-1 (or any successor schedule, form or report) disclosing that such person is, a beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act or any successor rule or regulation), directly or indirectly, of securities of Condor Hospitality Trust, Inc., the parent of Lessee (the “Parent”) representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Parent’s then outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors;

the Parent in any transaction or series of related transactions, sells all or substantially all of its assets to any other corporation or other legal person and less than a majority of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities of such corporation or person immediately after such sale or sales are held, directly or indirectly, in the aggregate by the holders of securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the Parent immediately prior to such sale.

For purposes hereof, a “change of control of Operator” shall mean (i) a change of fifty percent or more of the voting control of Operator or any of its owner entities or (ii) a substantial change in the current management of Operator.

(j) Lessee, at its option, may install a shadow management team in the Hotel during the ten (10) day period immediately preceding the termination date to have daily access to the Hotel and its books and records; provided that such team shall not (a) unreasonably interfere with the management and operations of the Hotel, and (b) consist of more than ten (10) members. Lessee shall use its reasonable efforts to cause the entity that succeeds Operator to hire a sufficient number of Hotel Employees to avoid a WARN Act violation;

(k) Operator shall at all times fully co-operate with and explain all aspects of the business and operation of the Hotel to Lessee or any persons authorized by Lessee to allow Lessee or such persons to successfully and efficiently conduct the business after the expiration of the Term.

Except as provided in Sections 16.03, 16.05, 16.06 and 16.09, Operator shall not be entitled to a termination fee or compensation in the event this agreement is terminated for a Hotel or Hotels by Lessee.

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

Events of Default- Remedies.

The following shall constitute Events of Default:

(1) The failure of Operator to diligently and efficiently operate the Hotel in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement;

(2) The failure of Operator to pay any amount to Lessee provided for herein for a period of five (5) days after written notice by Lessee of failure to pay such sum when payable;

(3) The failure of Lessee to pay any amount to Operator provided for herein for a period of five (5) days after written notice by Operator of failure to pay such sum when payable;

(4) The filing of a voluntary petition in suspension of payments, bankruptcy or insolvency by either Lessee or Operator or any entity which owns or controls such party or if any such party otherwise voluntarily avails itself of any federal or state laws for the relief of debtors or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due;

(5) The consent to an involuntary petition in bankruptcy or the failure to vacate within sixty (60) days from the date of entry thereof any order approving an involuntary petition by or against either Lessee or Operator;

(6) The entering of an order, judgment or decree by any court of competent jurisdiction, on the application of a creditor, adjudicating Lessee or Operator a bankrupt or insolvent or appointing a judicial receiver, trustee or liquidator of all or a substantial part of such party’s assets, and such order, judgment or decree shall continue unstayed and in effect for a period of one hundred twenty (120) consecutive days;

(7) The failure of either Lessee or Operator to perform, keep or fulfill any of the other covenants, undertakings, obligations or conditions set forth in this Agreement, and the continuance of any such default for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice of such failure;

(8) Default or termination of the franchise license for a Hotel as a result of any action, or failure to act, on the part of Operator;

(9) Failure by Operator to pay, when due, the accounts payable for the Hotels for which Lessee had previously reimbursed Operator.

(10) Hotel receives a “failure” or its equivalent in any quality inspection report from any of the Franchisors, if such deficiencies are within Operator’s reasonable control.

(11) Failure by Operator to execute any and all subordination agreements, estoppel certificates and other documents requested by Lessee and/or the Holder to further evidence the subordination of this Agreement and Operator’s rights hereunder.

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the non-defaulting party shall give to the defaulting party notice of its intention to terminate this Agreement after the expiration of a period of ten (10) days from such date of notice and, upon the expiration of such period, this Agreement shall terminate and expire without penalty. If, however, with respect to the Events of Default referred to in items (1), (4), (5), (6), (7), (9) (10) and (11) of subsection (a) above, unless a specific right of termination is specified elsewhere in this Agreement for the event in question, upon receipt of such notice, the defaulting party shall promptly and with all due diligence cure the default or take and continue action to cure such default within such ten (10) day period; provided, in the case of an event described in Section 17.01(a)(10), and subject to Lessee’s termination rights pursuant to Section 16.01, the Operator shall cure such default by receipt of a favorable quality inspection report upon an inspection by the Franchisor within six (6) months following the failed inspection. If such default shall not be capable of being cured within such ten (10) day period, then provided the defaulting party diligently pursues the cure of such default, such party shall have an additional five (5) days to cure any such default unless otherwise extended by the non-defaulting party. The procedure set forth in the preceding two sentences shall not be available for the curing of any default under items (2), (3) or (8) of subsection (a) above. In the event such default is not cured by the expiration of such period, the non-defaulting period may terminate this Agreement effective upon expiration of such period without penalty or payment of any fee.

Rights Not Exclusive.

The rights granted under this Article 17 shall not be in substitution for, but shall be, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, in addition to any and all rights and remedies for breach of contract granted by applicable provisions of law; provided, however, upon any termination of this Agreement by Operator or Lessee as provided in this Agreement, Operator shall be entitled to recover only such sums as are owing to or which accrued for the benefit of Operator under this Agreement up to or on the date of any such termination and in no event will Operator have any claim or cause of action for “future profits,” damages resulting from termination or otherwise under this Agreement.

No failure of Operator or Lessee to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant, agreement, term or condition of this Agreement or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or any subsequent breach of such covenant, agreement, term or condition. No covenant, agreement, term or condition of this Agreement and no breach thereof shall be waived, altered or modified except by written instrument signed by both Lessee and Operator. No waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Agreement but each and every covenant, agreement, term and condition of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach thereof.

ASSIGNMENT

No Assignment by Operator.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, without the prior written consent of Lessee (which consent may be withheld in Lessee’s sole and absolute

discretion), Operator shall have no right to sell, transfer or assign (or permit the sale, transfer or assignment of) any of its rights, duties or obligations under this Agreement in any manner, either directly or indirectly, voluntarily, or by operation of law.

Assignment by Lessee.

Any transfer or assignment of this Agreement by Lessee shall include an express assumption by the transferee or assignee of Lessee’s obligations hereunder.

SUBORDINATION

Subordination To Mortgage.

Operator hereby agrees that this Agreement, including, but not limited to Operator’s Fee, shall in all respects be and is hereby expressly made subordinate and inferior to the liens, security interest and/or any Mortgage and to any promissory note and other indebtedness secured or to be secured thereby and to all other instruments evidencing or securing or to evidence or secure indebtedness, and all amendments, modifications, supplements, consolidations, extensions and revisions of such note and other instruments and any other indebtedness of Lessee or Owner, secured or unsecured. Operator shall execute any and all subordination agreements, estoppel certificates and other documents requested by Lessee or Owner and/or the Holder to further evidence the subordination of this Agreement and Operator’s rights hereunder including without limitation providing any purchaser of a Hotel at a foreclosure sale or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure (including the lender) with the right to terminate this Agreement; provided, however, Lessee shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from the holder of any Mortgage a nondisturbance agreement, in form reasonably acceptable to Operator providing that this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the fact that the Mortgage has been foreclosed.

Foreclosure.

Prior to termination of this Agreement by foreclosure under the Mortgage or by acquisition of the property to be covered by the Mortgage by deed in lieu of foreclosure, Operator shall have the right to enjoy all rights and privileges conferred upon it pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation the rights to the Operator’s Fee, and Operator shall incur no liability to the Holder for acting pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, Operator shall be required to (and does hereby agree to) repay to the Holder any

Operator’s Fee paid to Operator under this Agreement from and after the date which is thirty (30) days after the date of receipt by Operator of a notice of default under the Mortgage, which default is not cured and results in the acceleration of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage and the ultimate foreclosure of the liens and/or security interest under the Mortgage and/or other acquisition of the property covered thereby by the Holder in lieu of foreclosure. In the event of such foreclosure, Operator shall have the right to terminate this Agreement on thirty (30) days’ written notice to Lessee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Operator may pursue, as an unsecured creditor, a claim for all amounts due and owing to Operator under this Management Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Section 20.02.

Estoppel Certificates.

Lessee and Operator agree, at any time and from time to time, upon not less than 10 days prior written notice from the other party or any purchaser or lender, to provide a statement in writing certifying that this Agreement is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been modifications, that the same is full and force and effect as modified and stating the modifications), and stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the signer of such certificate, there exists any default in the performance of any obligation contained in this Agreement, and if so, specifying each such default of which a signer may have knowledge. Any statement delivered pursuant to this Section may be relied upon by the other party and by the prospective lender or purchaser.

MISCELLANEOUS

Further Documentation and Reporting Compliance.

Lessee and Operator shall execute and deliver all appropriate supplemental agreements and other instruments, and take any other action necessary to make this Agreement fully and legally effective, binding, and enforceable in accordance with the terms hereof as between them and as against third parties. Operator acknowledges that Parent is a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”) and other federal laws, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and Operator shall reasonably cooperate in providing Lessee information as necessary for Parent to prepare and submit its reports under such laws in a timely fashion.

Successors and Assigns.

Competitive Market Area.

Operator hereby agrees, for the benefit of Lessee, its successors and assigns, except for the hotels, if any, listed as Exhibit A-3, that Operator (and its Affiliates) will not own, operate, lease, manage, or otherwise have an interest in, directly or indirectly, any hotel within a three (3) mile radius of any Hotel during the Operating Term unless expressly consented to in writing by Lessee in advance, which consent may be withheld in Lessee’s sole and absolute discretion.

Assumption of Post Termination Obligations.

In the event of termination of this Agreement, Lessee shall be responsible for assuming obligations under contracts entered into by Operator only to the extent that any such contract shall have been entered into in accordance with Section 4.05(a) and Lessee shall be responsible for the payment of obligations incurred by Operator in the operation of the Hotel only to the extent that such obligations shall have been incurred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and Operator hereby agrees to indemnify and to hold Lessee harmless from and against any liability in connection with any such contracts, agreements or obligations not so approved in writing by Lessee. Lessee will indemnify and hold Operator harmless from all costs, expenses, claims, damages and liabilities, including without limitation, lawyers’ fees and disbursements, arising or resulting from Lessee’s failure following the expiration or earlier termination (for whatever cause) of this Agreement to provide all of the services contracted for in connection with the business booked on commercially reasonable terms for the Hotels on or prior to the date of such expiration or termination. The provisions of this Section will survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement and will be binding upon Lessee and its successors and assigns, including any successor or assign that becomes the beneficial or legal owner of the Hotels after the effective date of any such expiration or termination.

Entire Agreement.

This Agreement, together with the Exhibits hereto, constitutes the entire Agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, superseding all prior agreements or undertakings, oral or written. This Agreement and the Exhibits hereto shall be construed and interpreted without reference to any canon or rule of law requiring interpretation against the party drafting or causing the drafting of this Agreement or the portions in question, it being agreed and understood that all parties have participated in the preparation of this Agreement.

Governing Law.

This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Nebraska.

No Political Contributions.

Any provision hereof to the contrary notwithstanding, no money or property of the Hotel shall be paid or used or offered, nor shall Lessee or Operator directly or indirectly pay or use or offer, consent or agree to pay or use or offer any money or property of the Hotel, for or in aid of any political party, committee or organization, or for or in aid of, any corporation, joint stock or other association organized or maintained for political purposes, or for, or in aid or, any

candidate for political office or for nomination for such office, or in connection with any election including referendum for constitutional amendment, or for any political purpose whatever, or for lobbying in connection with legislation or regulation thereunder, or for the reimbursement for indemnification of any person for money or property so used.

Eligible Independent Contractor.

At the effective time of this Agreement, Operator shall qualify as an “eligible independent contractor” as defined in Section 856(d)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To that end:

during the Operating Term, Operator shall not permit wagering activities to be conducted at or in connection with the Hotels;

during the Operating Term, Operator shall not own, directly or indirectly (within the meaning of Section 856(d)(5) of the Code), more than 35% of the shares of Condor Hospitality Trust, Inc.;

during the Operating Term, no more than 35% of the total combined voting power of Operator’s outstanding stock (or 35% of the total shares of all classes of its outstanding stock) shall be owned, directly or indirectly, by one or more persons owning 35% or more of the outstanding stock of Condor Hospitality Trust, Inc.; and

At the effective time, Operator shall be actively engaged in the trade or business of operating “qualified lodging facilities” (defined below) for a person who is not a “related person” within the meaning of Section 856(d)(9)(F) of the Code with respect to the Parent or Lessee (“Unrelated Persons”). In order to meet this requirement, Operator agrees that it (i) shall derive at least 10% of both its revenue and profit from operating “qualified lodging facilities” for Unrelated Persons and (ii) shall comply with any regulations or other administrative guidance under Section 856(d)(9) of the Code with respect to the amount of hotel management business with Unrelated Persons that is necessary to qualify as an “eligible independent contractor” with the meaning of such Code Section.

A “qualified lodging facility” is defined in Section 856(d)(9)(D) of the Code and means a “lodging facility” (defined below), unless wagering activities are conducted at or in connection with such facility by any person who is engaged in the business of accepting wagers and who is legally authorized to engage in such business at or in connection with such facility. A “lodging facility” is a hotel, motel or other establishment more than one-half of the dwelling units in which are used on a transient basis, and includes customary amenities and facilities operated as part of, or associated with, the lodging facility so long as such amenities and facilities are customary for other properties of a comparable size and class owned by other owners unrelated to Condor Hospitality Trust, Inc.

Operator shall not sublet any Hotel or enter into any similar arrangement on any basis such that the rental or other amounts to be paid by the sublessee thereunder would be based, in

whole or in part, on either (a) the net income or profits derived by the business activities of the sublessee, or (b) any other formula such that any portion of the rent would fail to qualify as “rents from real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Internal Revenue Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto.

Time of the Essence.

Time is of the essence of this Agreement.

Offsets.

Each party may offset amounts owed to another party hereunder against any amounts owed to such party, except to the extent any such offset is prohibited by the terms of the Lessee (or its Affiliates) credit agreements.

Attorney’s Fees.

If any party brings an action against another party to enforce any provision of this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to recover its court costs, attorney’s fees and expenses in the judgment rendered through such action.

Final Accounting.

In addition to the reports required by Section 9.02, within sixty (60) days following the effective date of expiration or termination of this Agreement, Operator shall prepare and submit to Lessee a final accounting of Hotel operations through the effective date of such expiration or termination, which accounting shall be in the form of the financial statements required hereunder.

Upon the effective date of expiration or termination of this Agreement, Operator shall deliver possession of the Hotel, and any cash, property and other assets pertaining thereto, together with any and all keys or other access devices, to Lessee.

Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, Operator shall reasonably cooperate with and assist Lessee as may be necessary for the transfer of the operations and management of the Hotels to the successor operator and the transfer any and all Hotel licenses and permits to Lessee or Lessee’s designee.

Franchisor Communications.

During the Operating Term, Operator shall promptly deliver to Lessee copies of any deficiency notices or similar notices received from a Franchisor and any response thereto.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the date first set forth above.
