5.1.3In the event a material change of circumstances that is (A) not otherwise expressly contemplated by this Agreement, (B) not within the control of the Contributor or the Operating Partnership, as applicable, (C) not caused by the Contributor’s breach of any of its obligations hereunder occurs on or prior to the Closing Date, and (D) not the result of any conduct described in Section [5.1.2] above, which material change in circumstances and causes any representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement, to become untrue in any material respect (a “Change of Circumstances”), and the other party is not willing to waive its objection thereto, the party making such representation or warranty shall have a period of thirty (30) days from the date of the discovery by such party of such Change of Circumstances to cure such untrue fact, condition or covenant to the other party’s reasonable satisfaction (and the Closing Date shall be extended to accommodate such cure period). If the party making such representation or warranty does not cure such Change of Circumstances to the other party’s reasonable satisfaction within such thirty (30) day period or refuses to attempt to do so, the other party may, at its option, elect to proceed in accordance with clauses (1) or (2) in Section [5.1.1] above.

5.2All representations and warranties of the parties set forth in this Agreement or in any of the Closing Documents shall survive the Closing for a period of nine (9) months (the “Limitation Period”). Upon the expiration of the Limitation Period there shall be no recourse for such breach pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Operating Partnership shall provide actual written notice to the Contributor of any breach of any of the Contributor’s warranties or representations of which the Operating Partnership acquires knowledge, through any means, at any time after the Closing Date but prior to the expiration of the Limitation Period with respect to such representation or warranty, and shall allow sixty (60) days within which to cure such breach, or, if such breach is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within sixty (60) days, an additional thirty (30) day time period to effect such cure so long as such cure has been commenced within such thirty (30) days and diligently pursued. If the Contributor fails to cure such breach after actual written notice and within such cure period (as extended), the Operating Partnership’s

​

18

​

sole remedy shall be an action at law for damages as a consequence thereof, which must be commenced, if at all, within thirty (30) days after the expiration of such cure period (as extended). The Contributor shall provide actual written notice to the Operating Partnership of any breach of the Operating Partnership’s warranties or representations of which the Contributor acquires knowledge, through any means, at any time after the Closing Date but prior to the expiration of the applicable Limitation Period with respect to such representation or warranty, and shall allow the Operating Partnership sixty (60) days within which to cure such breach, or, if such breach is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within sixty (60) days, an additional thirty (30) day time period to effect such cure so long as such cure has been commenced within such thirty (30) days and diligently pursued. If the Operating Partnership fails to cure such breach after actual written notice and within such cure period (as extended), the Contributor’s sole remedy under this Agreement shall be an action at law for damages as a consequence thereof, which must be commenced, if at all, within thirty (30) days after the expiration of such cure period (as extended). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall any either party hereto be liable to the other for any punitive, incidental, consequential, special or indirect damages, including loss of future revenue or income, loss of profits, loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement, or diminution of value or any damages based on any type of multiple.

5.3Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5 to the contrary except for the terms of Section 5.5 below, (i) the Operating Partnership shall not be entitled to make a claim against the Contributor (and the Contributor shall not be entitled to make a claim against the Operating Partnership) for a violation of their respective representations and warranties under this Agreement unless the amount of Losses to such parties equals or exceeds Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) (the “Basket”) in any one instance, and (ii) the cumulative, maximum amount of liability that the Contributor shall have to the Operating Partnership, in the aggregate, for breaches of their respective representations and warranties under this Agreement and in any document executed by the Contributor pursuant to this Agreement shall not exceed Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) (the “Cap”). “Losses” means any and all actual claims, losses, damages, liabilities and expenses, including, without limitation, amounts paid in settlement, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs of investigation, judicial and administrative proceedings or appeals therefrom, and costs of attachment or similar bonds asserted against, imposed upon, or incurred by the Operating Partnership in connection with or as a result of any breach of a representation or warranty of the Contributor contained in this Agreement or any document executed in connection with this Agreement from and after the Closing Date until the expiration of the Limitation Period.

5.4Further, notwithstanding anything in this Section 5 to the contrary, if any of the representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or in any document or instrument delivered in connection herewith are false, inaccurate or have changed due to the occurrence of events or circumstances from and after the Effective Date, or any party is in breach or default in any material respect of any of its respective obligations under this Agreement, and the other party nonetheless closes the transactions hereunder, such party shall not have any indemnification obligation or other liability respecting such false, or inaccurate or changed representations or warranties, breach or default (and any cause of action resulting therefrom shall terminate upon the Closing), but only to the extent that, on or prior to the Closing, the other party shall have had actual knowledge of the false, inaccurate, changed representations or warranties or other breach or default. For purposes of this Agreement, (i) knowledge of the Operating Partnership shall mean (a) the knowledge of Norman Leslie, (b) those matters disclosed in the due diligence materials made available by the Contributor to the Operating Partnership, (c) those matters contained in the Title Commitment or appearing on any Survey, and (e) those matters appearing in any third-party report obtained by the Operating Partnership, and (ii) the knowledge of Seller shall means the knowledge of Nicholas Meli.

(a)Sell, transfer (or agree to sell or transfer), assign or otherwise dispose of, or cause the sale, transfer, assignment or disposition of (or agree to do any of the foregoing) all or any portion of its interest in the Contributed Assets or Assumed Agreements or all or any portion of its interest in the Property; or

6.1.2From the Effective Date through the Closing, the Contributor shall conduct its business with respect to the Property in the ordinary course of business consistent with Contributor’s past practices, and shall to the extent within its control, not, without the prior written consent of the Operating Partnership:

(a)Enter into any material transaction not in the ordinary course of business with respect to any Property (except in the case of emergency whereupon the Contributor shall notify the Operating Partnership thereof within 5 business days);

(b)Except as otherwise disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule, mortgage, pledge or encumber (other than by Permitted Liens) the Property or any assets related to the Property or the Contributed Assets, except (i) liens for taxes not delinquent or being disputed by the Contributor in good faith and by appropriate proceeding in the ordinary course of the Contributor’s business, and (ii) mechanics’ liens being disputed by the Contributor in good faith and by appropriate proceeding in the ordinary course of the Contributor’s business;

(c)Cause or permit a change to the existing use of the Property other than as a result of entering into new Leases in compliance with this Agreement;

(e)Enter into any new Leases related to the Property. The Operating Partnership shall approve or disapprove in writing any such action by the Contributor within 5 business days after receiving a written request (providing all information reasonably relevant to the Operating Partnership’s consideration) for such approval from the Contributor, which approval shall be in the Operating Partnership’s sole and absolute discretion.

6.1.3Subject to the terms of Section 5 of this Agreement, from the Effective Date, the Contributor shall promptly provide notice to the Operating Partnership upon any discovery that may lead to the Contributor’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement being incomplete, inaccurate or in any manner not completely true and correct as of the Closing Date, including without limitation, any matter which if uncured prior to the Closing Date would have such effect, even if the Contributor intends to cure, correct or remedy such matter prior to the Closing and is implementing such cure, correction or remedy.

6.1.4If the liquor license has not been transferred to the Operating Partnership effective as of the Closing Date, and to the extent allowable under the laws of the State of Illinois, the parties will execute (or cause to be executed) a mutually agreeable temporary liquor management agreement to oversee and control the food and beverage operations of the Property; provided that to the extent that the Contributor does not itself hold the liquor license, the Contributor shall have no obligation to cause the holder thereof to enter into such agreement, but shall request that the holder do so without obligation to pay any fee or other compensation to such holder. The Contributor and the Operating Partnership will cooperate with information as reasonably required to facilitate the transfer of the existing liquor permit. The Contributor shall reasonably cooperate with the Operating Partnership in connection with the transfer of the liquor license to the Operating Partnership or its designee on or after the Closing Date. The Operating Partnership shall pay all application fees and all other costs in connection with the transfer of the liquor license. The Contributor’s obligations under this Section [6.1.4] shall be at no cost to the Contributor, other than for its own incidental out-of-pocket costs incurred in performing said obligations.

6.1.5From the Effective Date, the Contributor agrees to provide the Operating Partnership with all information relating to the franchise at the Property as reasonably requested by the Operating Partnership and to cooperate with the Operating Partnership with respect to entering into the New Franchise Agreement.

6.1.7If reasonably requested by the Operating Partnership, the Contributor shall make all reasonable and good faith efforts to cooperate with and provide assistance to the Operating Partnership and its third party auditor in complying with the Company’s reporting requirements to the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, without limitation, any Rule 3-05 or 3-14 of Regulations S-X Audit as described on Schedule 3.1.8.

6.1.8Following expiration of the Due Diligence Period, the Contributor shall arrange for the termination of all employees of Manager (“Employees”) to be effective as of the Closing Date. The Contributor shall not give notice (the “WARN Notice”) under any applicable federal or state plant closing or similar act, including, if applicable, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Provisions of 29 U.S.C., Section 2102 (the “WARN Act”), the parties having agreed that a mass layoff, as that term is defined in 20 U.S.C. 2101(a)(3), will not have occurred. The Operating Partnership (or its hotel management company) shall offer employment (to be effective as of the Closing Date) to a sufficient number of Employees, and to the extent hired, retain such Employees for a sufficient period of time, such as to avoid any violation of the WARN Act. The Employees who are offered employment and accept such offers of employment are referred to collectively herein as the “Rehired Employees”. The Contributor shall, within five (5) days following the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, cause Manager to provide the Operating Partnership with a list of all Employees as well as the terms and conditions of employment, together with such additional information regarding the termination prior to Closing of other Employees, as may be necessary to determine how many offers of employment must be made and the terms thereof. At or before Closing, the Operating Partnership shall provide the Contributor with a list of all Employees that will not be Rehired Employees. The employment of the Rehired Employees shall be on such terms as the Operating Partnership (or its manager) deems appropriate; provided, however, that such terms of employment shall comply with all applicable laws and shall be sufficient to prevent the Contributor Indemnitees from incurring any Loss under the WARN Act with respect to such

​

21

​

Employees. The Operating Partnership shall indemnify and defend each of the Contributor Indemnitees, and hold each of the Contributor Indemnitees harmless from and against, any and all Losses, damage, liability, claim, cost or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred under the WARN Act with respect to the transaction described in this Agreement or the Operating Partnership’s breach of its obligations under this Section. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing.

6.1.10 The Operating Partnership shall use commercially reasonable and diligent, good faith efforts to obtain approval from the Franchisor of the Operating Partnership’s application to operate the Property under the Brand (the “New Franchise Application”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Operating Partnership shall, no later than five (5) business days after the expiration of the Effective Date, submit the complete and duly signed New Franchise Application and pay all application fees and other amounts required by the Franchisor to process the New Franchise Application (including, without limitation, a non-refundable application fee, Franchisor’s property inspection fee plus associated travel costs, and all other fees set forth in franchise agreement, if any, and thereafter proceed promptly, using commercially reasonable and diligent good faith efforts to take such actions as necessary or advisable (including responding to requests and providing additional information to Franchisor) to obtain the approval of Franchisor for the New Franchise Application. The Operating Partnership shall notify the Contributor within two (2) days upon (x) submission of the New Franchise Application, (y) submission of any responses to requests made by Franchisor and (z) receipt of the Franchisor’s approval or disapproval of the New Franchise Application (and if disapproved, the reasons why such New Franchise Application was disapproved). The New Franchise Application shall be deemed to be approved by Franchisor if Franchisor is prepared to enter into a new franchise agreement (“New Franchise Agreement”) with the Operating Partnership on the same form in Franchisor’s then current standard franchise agreement and subject to customary conditions imposed by Franchisor, including a guarantee of the franchisee’s obligations by a third-party guarantor acceptable to Franchisor (and the Operating Partnership shall have the right to request such modifications thereto so long as such proposed modifications were previously negotiated and agreed to by Franchisor and are reasonably acceptable to the Operating Partnership and Franchisor). The Contributor shall and shall use commercially reasonable and diligent, good faith efforts to cooperate in Purchaser’s filing and pursuit of the New Franchise Application, including without limitation responding to reasonable requests for information from Franchisor.

The items of revenue and expense set forth in this Section 6.2 shall be prorated between the parties as of 11:59 p.m. on the day preceding the Closing Date (the “Adjustment Time”), or such other time expressly provided in this Section 6.2, so that the Closing Date is a day of income and expense for the Operating Partnership.

The Contributor shall receive a credit for all advance payments or deposits made with respect to FF&E, Hotel Supplies, F&B and Retail Merchandise ordered, but not delivered prior to the Closing Date, and the Operating Partnership shall following Closing pay the amounts which become due and payable for such FF&E, Hotel Supplies, F&B and Retail Merchandise.

In the event of any omission or mathematical error on the closing statement, or if the prorations, apportionments and computations shall prove to be incorrect for any reason, the same shall be promptly adjusted when determined and the appropriate party paid any monies owed.

​

24

​

this transaction on the Company’s tax status as a REIT, but specifically excluding providing access to Contributor’s or Contributor Equityholder’s tax returns. The Contributor shall retain all tax returns, schedules and work papers, and all material records and other documents relating thereto, until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by any party, any extensions thereof) of the taxable years to which such tax returns and other documents relate and until the final determination of any tax in respect of such years. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Operating Partnership governing documents to the contrary, the Operating Partnership agrees to use the “traditional” method (without curative allocations) as set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(b) to adjust for disparities between the agreed upon value of the various components of the Contributed Property and the adjusted tax basis of such components (i.e., the “Built-in Gain”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Operating Partnership acknowledges that the “traditional” method (without curative allocations) as set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(b) is a permissible method to adjust for the Built-in Gain as of the date hereof.

6.4Capital Contribution. The Contributor and the Operating Partnership (i) agree that the contribution transaction pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a “capital contribution” to the Operating Partnership and is intended to be governed by Section 721(a) of the Code and analogous provisions of state income tax laws (subject to the limitations and qualifications of Subchapter K of the Code), (ii) intend that no gain or loss shall be recognized by the Contributor for income tax purposes as a result of such transaction, provided the Contributor provides information to the Operating Partnership reasonably demonstrating that the “disguised sale” rules in Section 707 of the Code are not applicable, (iii) shall report such transaction in a manner consistent with the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.4, except to the extent that a final determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code requires otherwise and (iv) agree that it will not take any action that could jeopardize such tax treatment.

7.1Default by the Operating Partnership. If the Operating Partnership fails to perform any of the Operating Partnership’s obligations hereunder, then the Contributor, at the Contributor’s option, if such failure continues for 15 business days after written notice of such default from the Contributor and as the Contributor’s sole and exclusive remedy, the Contributor shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the Operating Partnership, in which event the Contributor shall be entitled to the full Earnest Money Deposit as liquidated damages, and neither the Operating Partnership nor the Contributor shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement except matters that survive termination (the parties acknowledging and agreeing that the actual damages in such event are uncertain in amount and difficult to ascertain, and that said amount of liquidated damages is reasonable). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this provision is not intended to limit the Operating Partnership’s obligations to indemnify the Contributor for certain matters as expressly provided in this Agreement nor is it intended to limit the Operating Partnership’s ability to terminate this Agreement as provided herein.

7.2Default by the Contributor. If the Contributor (i) defaults in any of its respective obligations to be performed on the Closing Date or (ii) defaults in any of its obligations to be performed prior to the Closing Date and such default continues for a period of fifteen (15) business days following the Contributor’s receipt of written notice thereof from the Operating Partnership, then, in any case, at the Operating Partnership’s election and as the Operating Partnership’s sole and exclusive remedy, the Operating Partnership may either (A) terminate this Agreement, and the Earnest Money shall be promptly returned to the Operating Partnership, and neither party shall have any further liability or obligation to the other, except for the provisions of this Agreement which are expressly stated to survive the termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Contributor shall also reimburse the Operating Partnership for the Operating Partnership’s actual, out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement not to exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) in the aggregate (the “Contributor Breakage Fee”), (B) subject to the conditions below, seek specific performance of the Contributor’s obligation to close on the transactions contemplated herein pursuant to this Agreement (but not damages), or (C) waive such default and continue to Closing without a reduction in the Total Consideration. The Operating Partnership may seek specific performance of the Contributor’s obligation to close on the transactions contemplated herein pursuant to this Agreement only if, as a condition precedent to initiating such litigation for specific performance, the Operating Partnership shall file suit therefor with the court on or before the 60th day after the scheduled Closing Date. If the Operating Partnership fails to file an action for specific performance within 60 days after the scheduled Closing Date, then the Operating Partnership shall be deemed to have elected to terminate the Agreement. THE CONTRIBUTOR AND THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP FURTHER AGREE THAT THIS SECTION IS INTENDED TO AND DOES LIMIT THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, AND SHALL BE THE

​

25

​

OPERATING PARTNERSHIP’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST THE CONTRIBUTOR, BOTH AT LAW AND IN EQUITY ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO A BREACH BY THE CONTRIBUTOR OF ITS COVENANTS OR ITS OBLIGATION TO CONSUMMATE THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MAY THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP SEEK OR BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, SPECULATIVE OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, ALL OF WHICH THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP SPECIFICALLY WAIVES, FROM THE CONTRIBUTOR FOR ANY BREACH BY THE CONTRIBUTOR OF ITS COVENANTS OR ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP SPECIFICALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO FILE ANY LIS PENDENS AGAINST THE PROPERTY.

The Contributor and the Interest Parties are referred to herein as the “Restricted Parties.”

R E C I T A L S:

A.The Operating Partnership and Contributor have entered into an Amended & Restated Contribution Agreement, dated as of November  , 2021, (the “Amended & Restated Contribution Agreement”), pursuant to which the Contributor has agreed to contribute property to the Operating Partnership, such property located at 1110 Willow Rd, Northbrook, IL 60062 (the “Hotel”).

B.The agreement of the Restricted Parties to deliver this Agreement was a material inducement to Operating Partnership in entering into the Amended & Restated Contribution Agreement.

C.The Operating Partnership, as the owner of the Hotel from and after the date of closing of the Amended & Restated Contribution Agreement, desires to preclude the Restricted Parties from competing against it during the term of this Agreement.

A G R E E M E N T

For valuable consideration, the parties agree to the following covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement and in the Amended & Restated Contribution Agreement:

1.1Non-Competition. The Restricted Parties covenant and agree that, for a period of one (1) year beginning on the closing date of the Amended & Restated Contribution Agreement (the “Closing Date”), neither the Restricted Parties, nor any entity controlled by the Restricted Parties (an “Affiliate”) will, without the prior written consent of the Operating Partnership, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, join, control, or engage or participate in the ownership, management, operation, or control of, or be connected as a shareholder, director, officer, agent, partner, joint venturer, employee, consultant or advisor with any business or organization which owns or manages a hotel or motel that is in direct competition with the Hotel and located within the Non-Competition Area. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, the restrictive covenant set forth in this Agreement shall not prohibit, and does not prohibit, any of the Restricted Parties or any of their Affiliates from making loans (whether secured by real property or equity interests), including, without limitation, loans participating in cash flow appreciation, to or making equity investments, including, without limitation, preferred equity investments in, businesses or organizations (or any of such businesses or organizations’ affiliates) which, directly or indirectly, own properties engaging in the business of hotel or motel ownership or management within the Non-Competition Area or from becoming an owner or operator of any such businesses, organizations, or properties by virtue of the Restricted Parties or their Affiliates exercising any remedies as lender under those loans or by virtue of a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure.

1.2Geographic Restriction. The term “Non-Competition Area” in this Agreement means the area within a half-mile radius of the Hotel. This provision will not apply to any business which was in operation prior to the Effective Date of the Amended & Restated Contribution Agreement, and will not restrict the Interested Parties,

​

Exhibit E

​

individually or as owners or employees of an entity from managing or consulting regarding one or more hotel(s) or motel(s) under management agreement for owner(s) or lender(s) which either or both Interested Parties: (a) do business with prior to the Effective Date, (b) are part of a multi-property management relationship with owner(s); or a lender(s); or (c) is a property in receivership or foreclosure controlled by a lender.

(a)On and after the Closing Date, the Restricted Parties will not use or disclose to anybody, and will cause all of their respective Affiliates to refrain from disclosing, any Confidential Information except: (i) where necessary to comply with any legal obligation, such as a court order, interrogatories or subpoena, provided the Restricted Parties will first promptly notify the Operating Partnership prior to any such disclosure so that Operating Partnership may seek to intervene to block such disclosure; (ii) where necessary, to the Restricted Parties’ attorneys and accountants, provided that they will have first been apprised of the limitations of this Agreement and will have agreed to comply with and be bound by such limitations; or (iii) where the Restricted Parties have obtained the express, prior written consent from the Operating Partnership.

(b)The term “Confidential Information” includes but is not limited to non-public information specific to the Hotel, including but not limited to: customer lists, contact information, needs, preferences and history of service; business operations and methods; training materials; marketing plans; customer relations information; service and operations forms; practices, procedures, policies and guidelines; sales information; supplier/vendor agreements and information; and all other information, lists, records and data relating to or dealing with the business operations or activities of the Hotel, the disclosure of which may provide valuable benefits to any other person or entity or which would embarrass or damage the Hotel, Operating Partnership or their affiliates, monetarily or otherwise. Furthermore, the term “Confidential Information” is intended to be construed broadly, including information in all forms, written or oral, on paper or stored electronically or in any other medium, and includes all originals, summaries, portions and copies of any such information. Confidential Information does not include information that: (i) was publicly known in the industry at the time of disclosure to the Restricted Party, or (ii) becomes publicly known or readily available other than by a breach of this Agreement.

1.4Non-Solicitation; Non-Interference. Except with the prior written approval of the Operating Partnership, for a period of one (1) year after the Closing Date, neither the Restricted Parties nor their respective Affiliates will (a) employ or offer to employ any Key Personnel, (b) solicit, recruit, or encourage any Key Personnel of the Hotel to leave his or her employment, (c) hire, employ or cause to be hired, or establish a business with, any Key Personnel who was employed at the Hotel, (d) solicit any business clients of the Hotel or encourage them to terminate any contracts involving the Hotel, and (e) encourage any adjustments to long term negotiated rate clientele. As used herein, Key Personnel means the General Manager, Assistant General Manager, Head Housekeeper, Chief Engineer, and Director of Sales.

1.5Non-Disparagement. The Restricted Parties will not: (a) make any disparaging or defamatory statements about Operating Partnership, the Hotel or their affiliates, or (b) authorize, encourage or participate with anyone to make such statements.

1.6Reasonableness; Independent Covenants. The Restricted Parties acknowledge that the restrictions set forth in this Agreement are reasonable and necessary to prevent the use and disclosure of the Hotel’s and the Operating Partnership’s Confidential Information, to protect the goodwill and business relationships of the Hotel, and to otherwise protect the legitimate business interests of Operating Partnership and the Hotel from and after the Closing Date. The Restricted Parties further acknowledge that all restrictions in this Agreement are reasonable in all respects, including duration, territory and scope of activity restricted.

(a)The Restricted Parties agree that if they or any of their Affiliates engage or threaten to engage in any activity that constitutes a violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement, Operating Partnership will have the right and remedy to have the provisions of this Agreement specifically enforced by law or by any court having jurisdiction.

​

​

Exhibit E

​

(b)The Restricted Parties agree a breach of this Agreement would cause immediate irreparable injury to Operating Partnership and/or the Hotel and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy at law for any breach. Further, without limiting any other legal or equitable remedies available to it, Operating Partnership will be entitled to obtain equitable relief by temporary restraining order, preliminary and permanent injunction or otherwise from any court of competent jurisdiction (without the requirement of posting a bond or other security), including, without limitation, injunctive relief to prevent the Restricted Parties’ failure to comply with the terms and conditions of Section 1 of this Agreement. Such right and remedy will be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to Operating Partnership at law or in equity, including the right to seek monetary damages.

(c)The applicable 1-year period of the covenants contained in Section 1.4 above will be extended on a day for day basis for each day during which a Restricted Party is in violation of the covenant, so that each Restricted Party is restricted from engaging in the activities prohibited by the covenant for the full 1-year time period.

(e)  The Restricted Parties agree that the existence of any claim or cause of action by a Restricted Party against Operating Partnership, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, will not constitute a defense to the enforcement by Operating Partnership of the covenants and restrictions in this Agreement.

1.8Construction.
