The Purchase Price shall be allocated as to real estate and building and improvements as the parties shall agree to prior to the Closing.

Upon Buyer’s execution of this Agreement, Buyer shall deposit the sum of $1,000 in earnest money (such deposit along with all earnings thereon being the “Deposit”) in an interest bearing escrow account with Madison County Abstract Company (the “Escrow Agent”) as escrow agent.

Section 12 shall govern Buyer’s and Seller’s rights and remedies regarding any title and survey defects to which Buyer may object. If Buyer fails to terminate this Agreement prior to the end of the Inspection Period, then Buyer’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4 shall terminate. If Buyer terminates this Agreement during the Inspection Period or otherwise fails to close, Buyer shall return to Seller all due diligence materials provided by either Seller to Buyer in connection with Buyer’s proposed acquisition of the Property. If Buyer terminates this Agreement or otherwise fails to close, Buyer covenants that neither it nor any of its partners, employees, directors, members, shareholders, agents or other representatives will disclose to any person the results and work product of any Tests or the contents of any due diligence materials provided by Seller to Buyer.

Buyer shall save and hold Seller harmless from and against all suits or claims arising out of any such entry and the Tests. If this transaction does not close, Buyer shall restore the Property to reasonably the same manner and condition as it was prior to the Tests.

(b)          Defense of Claim. In any litigation, administrative proceeding, negotiation or arbitration pertaining to any claim for which indemnification is sought under this Section 23(b), Seller shall have the right to select legal counsel to represent Buyer and to otherwise control such litigation, proceedings, negotiations and arbitration. If Seller elect to control such litigation, proceeding, negotiation or arbitration, Buyer shall at all times have the right to fully participate in the defense at its own expense.

24.         Indemnification of Buyer. Buyer shall, and hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless against and in respect of the following items (the “Buyer Indemnified Costs”):

 

(i)

All debts, liabilities and obligations of Buyer of any nature, whether accrued, absolute, contingent, or known or unknown, existing or arising on or resulting from events which occurred or failed to occur after the Closing Date.

 

10

 


 

(ii)

Any liability, loss, claim, damage or deficiency resulting directly or indirectly from any non-fulfillment of any covenant on the part of Buyer under this Agreement.

Seller shall advise Buyer of such Buyer Indemnified Costs in writing within twelve (12) months after the Closing or within sixty (60) days of any claim that is asserted by a third party within the applicable statute of limitations for such a claim, whichever is later, however in the event that Buyer intentionally conceals information with an intent to defraud, Seller shall have a period of three (3) years after the Closing to advise Buyer of such breach. If Seller fail to notify Buyer of any indemnity claim made under this Section 24 within the time period set forth in the preceding sentence, then the Buyer shall have no obligation to indemnify, hold harmless or defend Seller under this Agreement. Buyer shall have no obligation to indemnify Seller under this Agreement for Buyer Indemnified Costs until such Buyer Indemnified Costs, in the aggregate, exceed One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00), and in such event, Seller shall be indemnified only to the extent the amount of such Buyer Indemnified Costs exceed One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00). In no event shall Buyer have any liability for Buyer Indemnified Costs to the extent such Buyer Indemnified Costs exceed $1,000,000.

25.         Noncompetition. In order to further induce Buyer to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder, Seller agrees that from and after Closing and for a period of five (5) years thereafter, they shall not, within the Trade Area (as defined below) associate in any capacity whatsoever in any business, whether as a promoter, owner, officer, director, employee, partner, shareholder, member, lessee, lessor, lender, agent, consultant, broker, commission salesman or otherwise, or have any interest in any corporation, partnership, joint venture or limited liability company, engaged in the operation of a motel or hotel. If Seller fails to keep and perform every covenant of this Section 25, Buyer shall be entitled to specifically enforce the same by injunction in equity in addition to any other remedies which Buyer may have. If any portion of this Section 25 shall be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall in no way be deemed or construed to affect in any way the enforceability of any other portion of this Section 25. If any court in which Buyer seeks to have the provisions of this Section 25 specifically enforced determines that the activities, time or geographic area hereinabove specified are too broad, such court may determine a reasonable activity, time or geographic area and shall specifically enforce this Section for such activity, time and geographic area. The covenants on the part of Seller under this Section 25 shall be construed as an agreement independent of any other provision of this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action by Seller against Buyer or any corporation affiliated with Buyer, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by Buyer of said covenants. For purposes of this Section 25, “Trade Area” shall mean a 2 mile radius around the real estate boundaries of any of the Hotels.

The parties hereto acknowledge that the restrictions in this noncompetition agreement are essential to the Buyer’s successful operation of the Hotels and Buyer would not have entered into this Agreement except for the inducement of the restrictions contained herein. The parties hereto further acknowledge that these restrictions are reasonable and necessary means of protecting Buyer’s legitimate business interests in the Property and the Hotels.

26.         Definition of Knowledge. All references in the Agreement to a party’s “knowledge” shall mean actual knowledge of the applicable facts or circumstances and shall not refer to constructive knowledge or knowledge after any investigation of such facts or circumstances.

Any dispute arising under this Agreement or between Buyer and Seller shall be adjudicated in a court of law located in Prince William County, Virginia, and each the parties to this Agreement hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts.

nonexclusive and cumulative and the pursuit by Lessee of one remedy does not waive its right to pursue any and all other remedies it may have.
