Purchaser shall, at its cost and expense, repair any damage to the Property or any other property owned by a Person other than Purchaser arising from or in connection with the Inspections, and restore the Property or such other third-party property to the same condition as existed in all material respects prior to such Inspections, or replace the Property or such third-party property with property of the same quality.

Purchaser hereby acknowledges that, prior to the date of this Agreement, Seller has provided Purchaser with a Natural Hazard Disclosure Report (the “California Natural Hazard Report”) prepared by LGS Reports, Inc. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that nothing contained in the California Natural Hazard Report releases Purchaser from its obligation to fully investigate and satisfy itself with the condition of the Property during the Due Diligence Period, including, without limitation, whether the Property is located in any California Natural Hazard Area.

17


 

  (ii)   Purchaser shall comply with all reasonable requirements of Lender with respect to such the Existing Loan Assumption Agreement, including, without limitation, the provision of financial information for Purchaser and its Affiliates and the provision of a guaranty to replace the Guaranty by an entity acceptable to Lender. Purchaser and Seller shall each be responsible for the payment of one-half of any and all costs and fees required by the Lender or incurred by either Party (including the legal expenses of each Party) related to such application for assumption including, without limitation, any loan assumption fees; provided that neither Party shall be required to contribute more than $50,000 in respect of such costs and fees incurred by the other Party.
 
  (iii)   Prior to Closing, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Lender to deposit with Escrow Agent a beneficiary statement or other evidence satisfactory to Purchaser in its reasonable discretion confirming the remaining term of the Promissory Note to be assumed by Purchaser and the aggregate principal indebtedness encumbering the Property outstanding as of the first day of the month in which the Closing shall occur (the “Beneficiary Statement”), which amount (the “Existing Loan Amount”) shall be credited against the Purchase Price at Closing.
          (k) Ground Lease Condition. Promptly following the date of this Agreement, Seller shall use diligent, good faith efforts to expeditiously obtain, with Purchaser’s cooperation, (i) the written consent of the Ground Lessor to Purchaser’s assumption of the Ground Lease, and (ii) an estoppel certificate from the Ground Lessor indicating that the Ground Lease is in full force and effect and neither party is in default thereunder.

     Section 4.2. Title and Survey.
          (a) Preliminary Report and Existing Survey. Purchaser has received a copy of the Preliminary Report, together with a copy of all documents referenced therein obtained from the Title Company. In addition, Purchaser has received a copy of the ALTA survey of the Real Property prepared by Tronoff Associates and dated January 23, 2007 (the “Existing Survey”).
          (b) Permitted Exceptions. Purchaser shall accept title to the Property at Closing subject to (1) all real estate taxes and assessments not due and payable as of the Closing Date, (2) the matters disclosed as exception nos. 1 through 14 in the Preliminary Report and any other matters disclosed by the Existing Survey, (3) all Tenant Leases, (4) any and all liens and

18


 

encumbrances created by Purchaser, (5) any Additional Title Matters not objected to by Purchaser pursuant to Section 4.2(c) and (6) the Ground Lease. The foregoing items (1) through (6) are referred to collectively in this Agreement as the “Permitted Exceptions”.
          (c) Additional Title Matters. If any updated preliminary title report, title commitment or survey from time to time disclose any additional exceptions to title or survey defects or other matters (“Additional Title Matters”) not previously disclosed on the Preliminary Report or the Existing Survey, which Additional Title Matters are not acceptable to Purchaser, then Purchaser shall have the right to make objections to such Additional Title Matters (“Title Objections”) within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such updated preliminary title report, title commitment or survey (as the case may be). The absence of a timely notice by Purchaser of Title Objections with respect to any Additional Title Matters in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be deemed to constitute Purchaser’s acceptance of such Additional Title Matters. Within three (3) Business Days after receipt of any Title Objections (“Seller’s Title Response Period”), Seller shall give Purchaser written notice (“Seller’s Title Notice”) of whether it agrees to cure the Title Objections; provided that, except as expressly set forth below, Seller shall have no obligation to cure any Title Objections. Any Title Objections that Seller expressly agrees in writing to cure shall be cured by Seller prior to Closing, and the cure of such Title Objections shall be a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the Closing hereunder. Seller may cure any Title Objection by causing the Title Company to waive or commit to insure over such Title Objection at any time prior to Closing. If Seller does not agree in writing during Seller’s Title Response Period to cure every Title Objection identified by Purchaser at or prior to Closing, Seller shall not be obligated to cure such Title Objections, and Purchaser’s sole recourse shall be to terminate this Agreement at or prior to the later of (x) the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, or (y) two (2) Business Days following the end of Seller’s Title Response Period (and if Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement within such period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have withdrawn its Title Objections). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall release or cause to be released (and for purposes of clause (ii) below the term “release” shall also include bonding off) (i) any mortgages, deeds of trust or other security interests (other than documents evidencing or securing the Existing Loan), provided, however, such liens may continue to encumber the Property at Closing if the Title Company is willing to insure over such liens in a manner acceptable to Purchaser and such liens are released promptly following the Closing; and (ii) any encumbrances voluntarily created after the date hereof by Seller without Purchaser’s prior consent in breach of this Agreement. Seller’s obligation to cause the release or bonding-off of any such liens and encumbrances pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall survive Closing.
          (d) Extension of Closing Date. If Seller is unable to cure any Title Objection(s) prior to Closing, Seller shall have the right to postpone the Closing and extend the Closing Date for up to thirty (30) days by providing written notice to Purchaser no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the originally scheduled Closing Date.

          (b) Taxable Period Including the Closing Date. With Purchaser’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, Seller shall have the right to commence, continue and settle any proceeding to contest any Taxes for any taxable period which includes the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Purchaser desires to contest any Taxes for such taxable period and Seller has not then commenced any proceeding to contest any such Taxes for such taxable period, Purchaser shall provide written notice requesting that Seller contest such Taxes.

ARTICLE XII
DEFAULT; FAILURE OF CLOSING CONDITIONS

42


 

to Purchaser upon Purchaser’s satisfaction of its obligations under Section 7.1(b) and Seller shall pay Purchaser its Termination Costs (as hereinafter defined) upon Purchaser’s written notice to Escrow Agent and Seller that the same have become due, and the parties shall have no further rights or liabilities under this Agreement except for those provisions which specifically provide that they survive the termination of this Agreement; (B) waive the default and proceed to Closing without any reduction in or setoff against the Purchase Price; or (C) bring an action for specific performance. “Termination Costs” shall mean those reasonable costs actually incurred by Purchaser in connection with its investigation and efforts to purchase the Property, including, without limitation, actual reasonable fees and costs of counsel and consultants, all of which Termination Costs shall be evidenced by written documentation reasonably acceptable to Seller, but in no event shall the Termination Costs payable by Seller to Purchaser in connection with clause (A) of this Section exceed $250,000. The provisions of this Section 12.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

If (i) Purchaser has not deposited the Earnest Money within the time period provided in Section 3.3(a), (ii) at any time prior to Closing, Purchaser is in material default of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement, which default is not caused by a Seller Default, or (iii) at Closing, Purchaser has not satisfied any one or more Seller Closing Conditions to be satisfied by Purchaser at or prior to Closing (each, a “Purchaser Default”), and Purchaser has not cured such Purchaser Default within three (3) Business Days after Purchaser’s receipt of written notice of such Purchaser Default from Seller, then Seller, as its sole and exclusive remedy, may elect to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to Purchaser, in which case Purchaser shall cause Escrow Agent to disburse the Earnest Money to Seller within two (2) Business Days after such termination, and Seller and Purchaser shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except those which expressly survive such termination. Purchaser’s obligation to cause Escrow Agent to disburse the Earnest Money to Seller shall survive such termination. The provisions of this Section 12.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
     SELLER AND PURCHASER AGREE THAT IF THIS AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 12.2, THE DAMAGES THAT SELLER WOULD SUSTAIN AS A RESULT OF SUCH TERMINATION WOULD BE DIFFICULT IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO ASCERTAIN. ACCORDINGLY, SELLER AND PURCHASER AGREE THAT SELLER SHALL RETAIN THE EARNEST MONEY AS FULL AND COMPLETE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND AS SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR SUCH TERMINATION; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT SELLER SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THOSE OBLIGATIONS WHICH EXPRESSLY SURVIVE SUCH TERMINATION. THE PAYMENT OF SUCH AMOUNT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 3275 OR 3369, BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 1671, 1676 AND 1677.

Subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 14.3, 14.4, 14.5 and 14.6, Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees from and against any Losses incurred (i) after the Closing to the extent resulting from (a) any inaccuracy or untruth of any representations or warranties made by Seller in this Agreement (as may be updated as hereinabove provided), and (b) the breach by Seller of any of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement which expressly survive the Closing, (ii) after the termination of this Agreement to the extent resulting from the breach by Seller of any of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement which expressly survive such termination, (iii) events, contractual obligations, acts or omissions of Seller that occur or accrue prior to Closing in connection with the ownership of the Property, or (iv) damage to property or injury to or death of any person or any claims for any debt or obligations occurring on or about or in connection with the Property or any portion thereof or with respect to the Property’s operations at any time or times prior to Closing, but specifically excluding (w) any Losses caused by breaches of covenants of Purchaser which, by the terms of this Agreement, survive Closing, (x) any Losses consisting of liabilities or obligations for which Purchaser received a credit at Closing, (y) any Losses consisting of contractual liabilities or obligations which Purchaser expressly assumed at Closing and (z) any Losses incurred in relation to the physical condition of the Property (including without limitation, the environmental condition of the Real Property).
     Section 14.2. Indemnification by Purchaser. In addition to the Purchaser indemnities set forth elsewhere in this Agreement and subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 6.2 and 14.3, 14.4 and 14.5, Purchaser shall indemnify the Seller Indemnitees from and against any Losses incurred (i) after the Closing to the extent resulting from (a) any inaccuracy or breach of any representations or warranties made by Purchaser in this Agreement, or (b) the breach by Purchaser of any of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement which expressly survive the Closing, (ii) after the termination of this Agreement to the extent resulting from the breach by Purchaser of any of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement which expressly survive such termination, (iii) events, contractual obligations, acts or omissions of Purchaser that occur or accrue after Closing in connection with the ownership of the Property, or (iv) damage to property or injury to or death of any person or any claims for any debt or obligations occurring on or about or in connection with the Property or any portion thereof or with respect to the Property’s operations at any time or times after Closing.
     Section 14.3. Limitations on Indemnification Obligations.
          (a) Survival of Representations and Warranties. All indemnities, covenants, representations and warranties of Seller and Purchaser under this Agreement which expressly survive Closing shall survive the Closing for a period commencing on the Closing Date and expiring at 5:00 p.m. (Pacific time) on the date which is two hundred seventy (270) days after the Closing Date (the “Survival Period”), except to the extent a notice of a claim thereunder is

46


 

delivered within the Survival Period and the party asserting such claim commences legal proceedings within one hundred eighty (180) days following the delivery of such a notice, in which event the Survival Period shall be extended pending the resolution of such legal proceeding.
          (b) Indemnification Deductible and Cap. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller shall not be required to provide indemnification to the Purchaser Indemnitees pursuant to Section 14.1 to the extent that the aggregate amount of all Losses incurred by the Purchaser Indemnitees for which Purchaser otherwise would be entitled to indemnification (i) does not exceed an amount equal to Seventy Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($75,000.00) (the “Indemnification Deductible”), or if such Losses in the aggregate exceed the Indemnification Deductible, Purchaser shall not be entitled to defense or indemnification for any amount up to the Indemnification Deductible, or (ii) exceeds Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00) (the ”Indemnification Cap”).
          (c) Effect of Taxes and Insurance. The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided to any Indemnitee under this Article XIV shall be net of any tax benefits realized or insurance proceeds received by such Indemnitee in connection with the Indemnification Claim.
     Section 14.4. Indemnification Procedures.
          (a) Notice of Indemnification Claim. If any of the Seller Indemnitees or Purchaser Indemnitees (as the case may be) (each, an “Indemnitee”) is entitled to indemnification under any provision in this Agreement (each, an “Indemnification Claim”), the Party required to provide indemnification to such Indemnitee (the “Indemnitor”) shall not be obligated to indemnify Indemnitee unless and until such Indemnitee provides written notice to such Indemnitor promptly after such Indemnitee has actual knowledge of any facts or circumstances on which such Indemnification Claim is based or a Third-Party Claim is made on which such Indemnification Claim is based, describing in reasonable detail such facts and circumstances or Third-Party Claim with respect to such Indemnification Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any Indemnitee is seeking indemnification for a breach of any representations or warranties, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification only for those matters as to which the Indemnitee has given written notice to the Indemnitor prior to the expiration of the applicable Survival Period.
          (b) Resolution of Indemnification Claim Not Involving Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnification Claim does not involve a Third-Party Claim and is disputed by the Indemnitor, the dispute shall be resolved by litigation or other means as the Parties otherwise may agree.
          (c) Resolution of Indemnification Claim Involving Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnification Claim involves a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitor shall have the right (but not the obligation) to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, at its cost and expense, and shall use good faith efforts consistent with prudent business judgment to defend such Third-Party Claim, provided that (i) the counsel for the Indemnitor who shall conduct the defense of the Third-Party Claim shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee (unless selected by

47


 

Indemnitor’s insurance company), (ii) the Indemnitee, at its cost and expense, may participate in, but shall not control, the defense of such Third-Party Claim, and (iii) the Indemnitor shall not enter into any settlement or other agreement which requires any performance by the Indemnitee, other than the payment of money which shall be paid by the Indemnitor. The Indemnitee shall not enter into any settlement agreement with respect to the Indemnification Claim, without the Indemnitor’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Indemnitor’s sole discretion. If the Indemnitor elects not to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall have the right to retain the defense of such Third-Party Claim and shall use good faith efforts consistent with prudent business judgment to defend such Third-Party Claim in an effective and cost-efficient manner.
          (d) Accrual of Indemnification Obligation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall have no right to indemnification (other than recovery of defense costs) against the Indemnitor for any Indemnification Claim which (i) does not involve a Third-Party Claim, but is disputed by Indemnitor, or (ii) which involves a Third-Party Claim, until such time as such dispute or Third-Party Claim is concluded, including any appeals with respect thereto.
     Section 14.5. Exclusive Remedy. Except for claims based on fraud the indemnification provisions in this Agreement shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of any Indemnitee with respect to any claim for Losses arising from or in connection with this Agreement.
     Section 14.6. Survival. The provisions of this Article XIV shall survive the Closing.
ARTICLE XV

EARNEST MONEY ESCROW AGREEMENT
     THIS EARNEST MONEY ESCROW AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of [____________], 2010 (the “Effective Date”), by and among Maritime Hotel Associates, L.P., a California limited partnership (“Seller”), [_____________], a [_____________] (“Purchaser”) and [________________] (“Escrow Agent”).
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
     A. Seller and Purchaser entered into that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of [____________], 2010 (the “Purchase Agreement”). All terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Purchase Agreement.
     B. Seller has agreed to sell and Purchaser has agreed to purchase the Property, on the terms and conditions stated in the Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to Section 3.1(a) of the Purchase Agreement, Purchaser is required to deposit cash in the amount of [_____________] ($[__________]) (the “Initial Deposit”) in escrow with Escrow Agent within two (2) Business Days after the Effective Date. Pursuant to Section 3.1(b) of the Purchase Agreement, Purchaser is required to deposit an additional amount of cash in the amount of [_____________] ($[__________]) (the “Additional Deposit, and, together with the Initial Deposit, the “Earnest Money”) in escrow with Escrow Agent on or prior to the date on which the Due Diligence Period concludes. Purchaser and Seller now desire to enter into an agreement with Escrow Agent with respect to said Earnest Money.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
     1. Creation of Escrow. In accordance with the obligation to do so contained in the Purchase Agreement, Purchaser has delivered or will deliver to Escrow Agent in one or more wire transfers the Earnest Money to hold same in escrow pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein. Upon receipt of any portion of the Earnest Money, Escrow Agent shall provide written notice to both Seller and Purchaser acknowledging such receipt. Escrow Agent hereby agrees and acknowledges that it has received and reviewed a copy of the Purchase Agreement.
     2. Disbursement of Earnest Money. Upon not less than 5 Business Days’ prior written notice to Escrow Agent and the other Party, and provided that Escrow Agent shall have confirmed that the non-requesting Party shall have received the requesting Party’s notice, Escrow Agent shall deliver the Earnest Money to the Party to the Purchase Agreement requesting the same; provided, however, that if the other Party shall, within said 5 Business Day period, deliver to the requesting Party and Escrow Agent a written notice that it disputes the claim to the Earnest Money, Escrow Agent shall retain the Earnest Money until it receives written instructions executed by both Seller and Purchaser as to the disposition and disbursement of the

 


 

Earnest Money, or until ordered by final court order, decree or judgment, which is not subject to appeal, to deliver the Earnest Money to a particular Party, in which event the Earnest Money shall be delivered in accordance with such notice, instruction, order, decree or judgment.
     3. Investment of Earnest Money. The Earnest Money shall be invested in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and all interest and other amounts earned on the Earnest Money shall constitute additional Earnest Money for all purposes in this Agreement. The Earnest Money shall be invested by Escrow Agent in a commercial bank or banks acceptable to Seller and Purchaser in a money market fund, or in such other investments as shall be selected by Purchaser and approved in writing by Seller.
     4. Interpleader. Seller and Purchaser mutually agree that in the event of any controversy regarding the Earnest Money, unless mutual written instructions are received by Escrow Agent directing the Earnest Money’s disposition, Escrow Agent shall not take any action, but instead shall await the disposition of any proceeding relating to the Earnest Money or, at Escrow Agent’s option, Escrow Agent may interplead all parties and deposit the Earnest Money with a court of competent jurisdiction in which event Escrow Agent may recover all of its court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees. Seller or Purchaser, whichever loses in any such interpleader action, shall be solely obligated to pay such costs and fees of Escrow Agent, as well as the reasonable attorneys’ fees of the prevailing party in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
     5. Notices. Section 15.1 of the Purchase Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any notices, requests or other communication to Escrow Agent shall be addressed as follows:
Escrow Agent: [____________]
Any and all notices, requests or other communications to Escrow Agent shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 15.1 of the Purchase Agreement.
     6. Liability of Escrow Agent. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that Escrow Agent is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, that Escrow Agent shall not be deemed to be the agent of either of the parties, and that Escrow Agent shall not be liable to either of the parties for any action or omission on its part taken or made in good faith, and not in disregard of this Agreement, but shall be liable for its negligent acts and for any loss, cost or expense incurred by Seller or Purchaser resulting from Escrow Agent’s mistake of law respecting Escrow Agent’s scope or nature of its duties. Seller and Purchaser shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold Escrow Agent harmless from and against all costs, claims and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the performance of Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder, except with respect to actions or omissions taken or made by Escrow Agent in bad faith, in disregard of this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement or involving negligence on the part of Escrow Agent.
     7. Reliance. Escrow Agent shall not incur any liability with respect to (a) any action taken or omitted in good faith upon advice of its legal counsel given with respect to any questions relating to the duties and responsibilities of Escrow Agent under this Agreement, or (b)

 


 

any action taken or omitted in reliance on any instrument, including any written notice or instruction provided for in the Purchase Agreement or this Agreement, not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and accuracy of any information contained therein, which Escrow Agent shall in good faith believe to be genuine, to have been signed or presented by a person or persons having authority to sign or present such instrument.
     8. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Escrow Agent, on the one hand, and Seller and Purchaser, on the other hand, relating to the Earnest Money and supersedes all other prior and contemporaneous agreements, whether oral or written, express or implied; provided, however, that as between Purchaser and Seller the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall in no event amend, or in any other respect modify, any of the rights and obligations of Purchaser and Seller as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
     9. Miscellaneous. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by a writing executed by all parties. Every consent, excuse, delay, deviation or waiver from the specific terms of this Agreement must be in writing and signed by the party adversely affected and shall only apply to the action described in the writing. The parties agree to execute such other documents and perform such other acts as may be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement. If any term, covenant or condition of the Agreement or its application to any person or circumstances shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the Agreement and the application of such term or provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected, and each term hereof shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California. Time is of the essence for the payment and performance of all obligations under this Agreement. Each of the individuals executing this Agreement on behalf of a party individually represents and warrants that he or she has been authorized to do so and has the power to bind the party for whom he or she is signing.
     10. Binding Effect. This Escrow Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto, and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.
     11. Counterparts. Section 15.15 of the Purchase Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference.
     12. Costs. All fees, costs and expenses of the Earnest Money Escrow shall be shared equally between Seller and Purchaser, except that Purchaser shall pay any fees, costs or expenses with respect to the investment of the Earnest Money and Purchaser shall bear the risk of loss of the Earnest Money.
