-3-


variations thereof, and the names used to designate the restaurant and bar facilities within the Resort, but shall exclude the Marriott Trademarks (as defined in Section 1(b)). Seller makes no representation or warranty of any kind related to the Property Marks, including, without limitation, whether or not Purchaser will have the right to use any Property Mark after Closing. In no event shall Seller assign to Purchaser any Contracts that Manager or its affiliates have entered into under its own name and/or with respect to all its hotels or a particular flag or segment of hotels (“Unassignable Contracts”). In addition, Seller makes no representation or warranty regarding any of the rights described in clause Section 1(a)(vi)(e), including, without limitation, whether such rights exist.

2. Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be paid to Seller by Purchaser as follows:

(a) Deposit. On May 8, 2006, Purchaser shall deliver to the Escrow Holder a deposit in the amount of Three Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,500,000) (such deposit, together with all interest accrued thereon, is the “Deposit”) either by wire-transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a financial institution located in the United States. Should Purchaser fail to deliver the Deposit by such date, Seller shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement upon delivery of written notice to Purchaser. The Deposit shall be held by Escrow Holder and, if applicable, invested in an interest bearing bank account at money market rates in a commercial bank or banks acceptable to Seller and Purchaser, or in such other investments as shall be approved in writing by Seller and Purchaser. The Deposit shall be held, and disbursed by Escrow Holder in strict accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein the Deposit is non-refundable to Purchaser. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, in the event the purchase of the Property is not consummated for any reason other than (i) a default under this Agreement by Seller, or

 

-4-


(ii) failure of a condition set forth in Section 9(b) to be satisfied, then pursuant to Section 16(c), the Deposit shall be disbursed by Escrow Holder to Seller and shall constitute liquidated damages of Seller as its sole and exclusive remedy hereunder.

(b) Allocation. Prior to Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith the allocation of the Purchase Price for title insurance, tax and other reporting purposes. Such agreed allocation shall be used by the parties for all purposes, including Section 1060 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations thereunder. Although the parties are committed to negotiate such allocation of the Purchase Price in good faith, in the event that they fail to reach agreement on such allocation prior to Closing, then each of Seller and Purchaser shall apply their own allocation of the Purchase Price for the foregoing purposes in accordance with applicable laws, including, without limitation, the Code.

(c) Balance of the Purchase Price. On the Closing Date, or such earlier date as may be required to record the Deed (as defined below) and effect the Close of Escrow on the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deposit the balance of the Purchase Price, as well as all sums sufficient to pay Purchaser’s costs, expenses and pro-rations as provided in this Agreement, after crediting (i) the Deposit and (ii) any other pro-rations and other amounts to which Purchaser is entitled as a credit against the Purchase Price as expressly provided in this Agreement, into Escrow (as defined in Section 5(a)) by wire transfer or cashier’s check sufficiently early to allow Seller to receive the proceeds from the sale on the Closing Date. If Purchaser does not deliver the balance of the Purchase Price into Escrow as required under this Section by the last business day immediately preceding the Closing Date, Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and retain the Deposit as liquidated damages in accordance with Section 16(c) of this Agreement.

3. Purchaser’s Inspection Rights / Contingency Period.

(a) Receipt of Contracts and Documents. Seller has delivered to the extent in its possession, and, to the extent that Seller in good faith believes that it has the right to do so under the Existing Management Agreement, Seller has used commercially reasonable efforts to cause Manager to deliver to the extent in Manager’s possession, the following to Purchaser for review at the Hotel: (i) copies of all Contracts other than the Contracts designated as not yet delivered on Schedule 1(a)(vi), (ii) hotel management documents, material third party reports and all applicable tax and legal documents related to the Property and in possession of Seller or to which Seller has reasonable access, (iii) copies of development agreements, to the extent Seller has any such agreements, and (iv) other documents reasonably requested by Purchaser, to the extent that such documents pertain to the Property and the business conducted thereon or relating thereto, to the extent that such materials are (1) in Seller’s or Manager’s possession, and (2) do not constitute (aa) information that is subject to the attorney-client privilege, (bb) attorney work-product, (cc) information that is proprietary to Manager, (dd) information that Seller is required to keep confidential under existing agreements, other arrangements or applicable law, (ee) litigation files and/or documents for matters that will not materially affect the Resort after Closing, (ff) any and all other files that contain information or trade secrets that are related to the proprietary and/or confidential manner in which Seller or its affiliates make their investment decisions and/or conduct their operations, and (gg) are not otherwise Excluded Assets.

 

-5-


(b) Review Completed. Purchaser has completed its review of the materials provided by Seller, and conducted such other due diligence, studies, tests, inspections and investigations of the Property, interviews of employees and other persons as Purchaser deems appropriate under the circumstances (collectively, “Due Diligence Matters”). Purchaser’s investigations have included examination of each of the items delivered to Purchaser by Seller and one or more on-site physical inspections of the Real Property.

(c) Rights of Entry/Diligence Insurance. Purchaser acknowledges that during its investigations, Purchaser and its agents and contractors, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, entered onto the Resort for the purpose of making such tests, inspections, surveys or other inquiries as Purchaser deemed necessary or desirable in connection with this Agreement. Purchaser hereby represents and warrants the following: (i) that it did not conduct any invasive testing or inspections, including, but not limited to, drilling or boring, without the express written consent of Seller; and (ii) that it did not represent to any governmental authority that Purchaser had the authority to bind Seller in any manner nor did Purchaser represent to any governmental agency that it is an agent or affiliate of Seller. At all times during its entry upon the Property, and for a period of one (1) year following the date of this Agreement, Purchaser maintained and shall continue maintaining liability insurance coverage applicable to such tests and inspections with coverage in an amount equal to Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) (“Purchasers Liability Insurance”) per occurrence and has provided Seller with certificates of such insurance naming Seller as an additional insured prior to any entry, test or inspection. So long as Purchaser maintains the Purchaser’s Liability Insurance, Purchaser shall continue to have the right to enter the Resort from time to time following the Effective Date upon reasonable prior notice that explains the parameters of each such inspection for the purpose of performing inspections of the Real Property. During any such inspection, Purchaser shall not unreasonably disturb the Manager, the tenants, occupants, guests, licensees, permittees, patrons or other visitors of the Resort or, to the extent that Seller provides Purchaser with written notice that any aspect of such inspection violates the Existing Management Agreement, or Purchaser otherwise has actual knowledge that any aspect of such inspection violates the Existing Management Agreement, then Seller shall not perform the inspection in a manner that causes Seller to violate the Existing Management Agreement as specified in such written notice or as part of Purchaser’s actual knowledge, as applicable. After making any such tests and inspections described in this Section 3(c), whether occurring prior to, on or after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall be obligated to restore the Real Property to its condition prior to such tests and inspections. Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller, Manager and their respective principals, officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors and other representatives (collectively, the “Seller Parties”) harmless from any loss, damage, cost (including without limitation attorneys fees) or liability incurred by Seller or caused by Purchaser or its agents or contractors for a breach of the representations and warranties, and/or in exercising its rights, under this Section 3(c), and/or its past due diligence, studies, tests, inspections, investigations of the Property and other Due Diligence Matters occurring prior to the Effective Date. This Indemnity shall survive the Close of Escrow or the termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in no event shall Seller have any right to terminate this Agreement based upon the investigations which Purchaser has conducted at the Property prior to the execution of this Agreement.

 

-6-


(d) Confidentiality. Purchaser agrees to protect and safeguard, and to instruct all other Qualified Persons (as defined below) to protect and safeguard, all Property Information (as defined in Section 11) and other information delivered to Purchaser in connection with its inspection and review of the Property (“Confidential Information”) against unauthorized use, publication or disclosure. Confidential Information that is provided to Purchaser in written form will, at Seller’s election, be destroyed or returned to Seller immediately upon Seller’s request. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller shall be entitled to exercise any and all remedies, in law or in equity, which Seller may have against Purchaser for a breach of Purchaser’s obligations in this paragraph. Seller shall be entitled to recover its attorneys fees reasonably incurred in connection with enforcement of its rights hereunder. “Qualified Persons” shall mean employees, agents, attorneys, accountants, lenders, investors or other consultants to whom it is necessary to show the Confidential Information for the purposes of completing Purchaser’s inspection and review. The provisions of this Section 3(d) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Shadow Management. To the extent permitted pursuant to the terms and conditions of any transition agreement entered into between Manager and Purchaser prior to Closing (a copy of which is provided to Seller)(the “Transition Agreement”), Seller shall permit Purchaser or an affiliate of Purchaser to observe the management and operations of the Resort (“Shadow Management”) from and after the date authorized under the Transition Agreement through the Closing Date; provided, however, that neither refusal of Manager to permit Purchaser to institute Shadow Management, nor Seller’s refusal to permit Purchaser to institute Shadow Management in a manner that Seller believes in good faith violates the Existing Management Agreement, shall in no way relieve Purchaser of any of its obligations under this Agreement. Shadow Management shall mean the right to have an authorized individual, selected by Purchaser and approved by Seller, observe the management of the Resort by Manager in a manner that does not disrupt the management or operation of the Resort or the use of the Resort by tenants, occupants, guests, licenses, permittees, patrons and visitors, and does not otherwise materially adversely affect the Hotel or any other portion of the Property. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its principals, officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, and other representatives from and against any loss, damage, cost (including without limitation attorneys fees) or liability incurred by any of them caused by Purchaser, such authorized individual, or their agents or contractors in exercising rights under this Section 3(e). This indemnity shall survive the Close of Escrow (as defined in Section 5 below) or the termination of this Agreement.

4. Title. Purchaser acknowledges that it has received and reviewed the Title Insurance Commitment issued by the Title Company under File No.  ###-###-####, covering the Land, a copy of which is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit C (collectively, the “Title Commitment”), as well as copies of all documents identified in the Title Commitment as exceptions to title. Purchaser further acknowledges that Purchaser has received and reviewed a current ALTA/ACSM survey of the Real Property (the “Survey”). Seller agrees, as a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to purchase the Property under this Agreement, to attempt to satisfy the “Requirements” set forth in Item Numbers (B), (C), (E), (F), (G) and (J) (a), (b), (d) and (e) of the Title Commitment by delivering the following items to Title Company by the Closing Date (collectively, the “Title Commitment Items”):

(i) for Item No. (B), the Deed (as defined below);

 

-7-


(ii) for Item No. (C), sufficient funds to secure payment of the title exception described in Exception No. 3 of the Title Commitment;

(iii) For Item No. (D), Seller and Purchaser have been advised that Manager will execute a termination agreement to release such item. However, if Manager does not timely execute and deliver the termination agreement, Seller shall modify the Owner’s Declaration, as defined below, to confirm to the Title Company that the lease has expired or otherwise terminated, without any knowledge qualifier; provided, however, that it shall thereafter be Purchaser’s responsibility to cause the Title Company to accept the Owner’s Declaration, as modified, to eliminated Exception 28;

(iv) for Item No. (E), sufficient funds to secure payment of and the release thereof, all documents shown as Exception Nos. 39 through 44 of the Title Commitment;

(v) for Item (F), the Owner’s Declaration (“Owner’s Declaration”) in the form of Exhibit I incorporating a current rent roll for the Resort;

(vi) for Item (G), the Owners’ Declaration;

(vii) for Item (J)(a), at Seller’s election, either the operating agreement of Seller or an authorization to sell the Property to Purchaser signed by the members of Seller;

(viii) for Item J(b), a copy of Seller’s Certificate of Formation certified by the Delaware Secretary of State;

(ix) For Item J(d), a certificate of good standing for Seller issued by the Delaware Secretary of State; and

(x) For Item J(e), certificate of good standing for Seller issued by the California Secretary of State.

The delivery of the Title Commitment Items by Seller to the Title Company by the Closing Date shall be a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to purchase the Property in accordance with this Agreement. At the Closing, Purchaser may cause the Title Company to issue to Purchaser, in accordance with the Title Commitment, an owner’s title insurance policy on the most recent standard American Land Title Association form for the Property in an amount equal to the Purchase Price (the “Title Policy”) in the form provided for in the Title Commitment. The issuance of the Title Policy, however, shall not be a condition precedent to any of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, Purchaser’s obligation to acquire the Property.

(a) Permitted Title Exceptions. The Deed (as defined in Section 7(a)) delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to all of the title exceptions listed in the Title Commitment (the “Permitted Title Exceptions”). The Permitted Title Exceptions shall in no event include any monetary liens, including, without limitation, mechanics’ liens and taxes due and payable with respect to the period preceding Closing (“Monetary Title Encumbrances”).

 

-8-


(b) Monetary Title Encumbrances. If any matters described in the Title Commitment consist of Monetary Title Encumbrances, then, to that extent, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller shall be obligated to either (i) pay and discharge or (ii) bond against in a manner legally sufficient to cause to be released (collectively, a “Monetary Encumbrance Release”). For such purposes, Seller may use all or a portion of the Purchase Price to effectuate a Monetary Encumbrance Release with respect to any such Monetary Title Encumbrances at Closing.

(c) Voluntary Encumbrances. From and after the Effective Date, Seller shall not voluntarily encumber the Property without the prior written consent of Purchaser (except with a Monetary Title Encumbrance which will be covered by a Monetary Encumbrance Release at Closing).

5. Closing.

(a) Escrow. The parties have opened an escrow (the “Escrow”) with the Escrow Holder. This Agreement, together with such further instructions, if any, as the parties shall provide to the Escrow Holder, shall constitute the escrow instructions to the Escrow Holder. Upon Escrow Holder’s receipt of any notice from Seller or Purchaser directing the disposition of the Deposit, Escrow Holder shall only deliver the Deposit pursuant to such notice after Escrow Holder first sends written notice to Seller and Purchaser stating that Escrow Holder intends to deliver the Deposit as so directed, and neither Seller nor Purchaser provide a written notice to Escrow Holder objecting to such proposed delivery within four (4) business days thereafter. If neither Seller nor Purchaser provides such written objection to Escrow Holder within such four (4) business day period, Escrow Holder shall deliver the Deposit as so directed. If either Seller or Purchaser provide such written objection to Escrow Holder within such four (4) business day period or the parties give the Escrow Holder contradictory instructions, the Escrow Holder shall have the right at its election to file an action in interpleader requiring the parties to answer and litigate their several claims and rights among themselves, and the Escrow Holder is authorized to deposit with the clerk of court all documents and funds held in this Escrow.

All prorations shall be made on the basis of a 360 day year and a 30 day month. The apportionments described herein at such Closing shall be based on the actual figures to the extent available. If any of the prorations cannot be calculated based on actual figures, then they shall be calculated based on the mutual good faith agreement of Seller and Purchaser.

The parties agree that promptly (but in any event no later than May 8, 2006) following the Effective Date, Seller shall direct Manager to provide all Resort Employees with notices as required under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Act, 29 USC §2101 et seq., or any similar state or local law (collectively, “WARN Act”).

(iii) Credit for Payment by Purchaser. Solely for the purposes of determining the reduction of Seller’s liability pursuant to 29 U.S.C. § 2104(a)(2), but for no other purpose, Purchaser’s payment of wages, benefits and other compensation to Resort Employees during any period of time shall be deemed to have been paid by Seller also.

The provisions of this Section 14(j) shall survive the Close of Escrow for a period of twelve (12) months.

(k) Repairs and Improvements. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete, or provide for the completion of, by the Closing Date (a) the repair of the roofs on eleven (11) buildings on the Property to the extent reasonably allowed for an aggregate cost not to exceed Four Hundred Thirty-Two Thousand Dollars ($432,000), (b) the replacement of certain ballroom carpeting in the Resort, to the extent reasonably allowed for an aggregate cost not to exceed One Hundred Ten Thousand Dollars ($110,000), and (c) the establishment of a golf course irrigation lake on the Real Property, to the extent reasonably allowed for an aggregate cost not to exceed One Hundred Twenty-Nine Thousand Dollars ($129,000), all in accordance with the scope of work described in Exhibit H attached to this Agreement and the

 

-32-


contracts entered into prior to, on or after the Effective Date between Seller and/or its affiliates and the contractors performing such works of improvements (collectively, the “Capital Improvements Contracts”). If the cost of completion of any of the work of improvements described in preceding clauses (a), (b) or (c) is specified in the applicable Capital Improvements Contract to be in excess of the cap amounts set forth above, then Purchaser shall be given a copy thereof and reasonable time (not to exceed two (2) business days) to comment on such contract prior to execution thereof by Seller; provided, however, that although Seller shall consider Purchaser’s comments and, so long as they do not expose Seller to additional cost or liability, attempt to negotiate those comments that are reasonably approved by Seller into the final Capital Improvement Contract, in the event that such comments are not in the final applicable contract, Purchaser’s obligations under this Section 14(k) shall remain unchanged. In the event that all or any portion of the work of improvements described in the preceding clauses (a), (b) or (c) is not completed prior to the Closing Date in accordance with such scope of work or the Capital Improvements Contracts, then Seller shall credit Purchaser against the Purchase Price with an amount equal to the actual costs remaining to complete the remaining portions of such work of improvement up to but, not in excess of, the difference between the cap-amounts referenced above for each such work of improvement less the costs incurred by Seller through the Closing Date for each such work of improvement. The Closing shall occur notwithstanding the fact that any portion of any such works of improvement are not completed prior to the Closing Date and Seller shall thereafter be relieved from any and all obligation to complete such works of improvement. In the event that the actual amounts required to complete the scope of work described in the Capital Improvements Contracts are in excess of the cap-amounts set forth in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above for any or all such projects, then, at Closing, Purchaser shall reimburse Seller such excess amount to the extent Seller actually incurred such excess costs prior to Closing and Purchaser shall assume the obligation to pay the excess costs to the extent Seller has not actually incurred such excess costs as of such date. At Closing, Seller shall assign to Purchaser all warranties and, if any work remains to be completed after Closing, Seller shall assign its rights under the Capital Improvements Contracts, and, in the event of an assignment of such Capital Improvements Contracts to Purchaser, Purchaser shall assume all obligations of Seller arising thereunder from and after the Closing Date (except for the obligation to pay any amounts in excess of the cap amounts listed above to the extent required under the Capital Improvements Contracts which obligations Purchaser shall assume regardless of whether they arise prior to, on or after Closing), all in accordance with the Assignment and Assumption of Contracts; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything set forth in Exhibit H that may be construed to the contrary, in no event shall Seller be liable for any defects, failure of contractors to follow the scope of work as described in Exhibit H or perform in accordance with any Capital Improvements Contracts, or any other adverse matters associated with any of the work described in Exhibit H. Purchaser’s acceptance of the Deed shall be deemed conclusive evidence that Purchaser waives any rights and claims against Seller in connection with such work and that the releases set forth in Section 11(c) above apply to any claims against Seller or any other Released Parties arising out of such work at any time. Seller makes no representations or warranties regarding any aspect or matter related to any portion of the works of improvements described in Exhibit H or the Capital Improvements Contracts that are performed by Seller or its agents or contractors. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Assignment and Assumption of Contracts and this Section 14(k), the terms of this Section 14(k) shall control.

 

-33-


(l) Assignment and Assumption of Contracts. All Contracts shall be assigned to and assumed by Purchaser at the Close of Escrow pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption of Contracts in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit B, and Purchaser agrees to assume the liabilities and obligations arising under such Contracts to the extent such liabilities and obligations arise or are incurred and are first required to be performed on and after the Closing Date (or Purchaser obtains a credit to the Purchase price as of the Closing), except in the case of amounts due under the Capital Improvements Contracts in excess of the cap amounts set forth in Section 14(k), which excess amounts, if any, shall be paid by Purchaser regardless of whether they accrue prior to, on or after Closing. Purchaser has accepted all Contracts, and, subject to the provisions set forth below and in Section 1(a)(vi), Purchaser shall have no right to disapprove any Contracts. If the assignment of any Contract to Purchaser, regardless of whether such Contract was delivered to Purchaser prior to, on or after the Effective Date, requires the consent of the other contracting party and such other party disapproves the assignment to Purchaser or does not permit Seller to be released from the obligations under such Contract, Seller shall nevertheless assign the Contract to Purchaser under the Assignment and Assumption of Contracts (as defined below) in which event such assignment shall constitute an equitable assignment by Seller to Purchaser of all of Seller’s rights, benefits, title and interest in and to the subject Contracts, and, under the Assignment and Assumption of Contracts, Purchaser shall, as between Purchaser and Seller, assume the obligations of Seller under such subject Contract and indemnify and hold harmless Seller and the other Released Parties (as defined below) from and against any loss, damage, cost (including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees), or liability accruing or arising under or from such subject Contract on or following the Close of Escrow or as a result of the assignment of the subject Contract, except in the case of amounts due under the Capital Improvements Contracts in excess of the cap amounts set forth in Section 14(k), which excess amounts, if any, shall be paid by Purchaser regardless of whether they accrue prior to, on or after Closing. Seller shall pay all costs and expenses, if any, associated with the termination or performance of any Unassignable Contracts and all contracts, agreements and leases, not included in the defined term for Contracts, including, all costs and expenses associated with terminating the Existing Management Agreement and any other obligations of Seller or its affiliates to Marriott. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Assignment and Assumption of Contracts and this Section 14(l), the terms of this Section 14(l) shall control.

(m) Estoppel. To the extent requested by Purchaser prior to Closing, Seller deliver to the HOA an estoppel certificate in the form of Exhibit J attached hereto to the HOA and will make reasonable inquires of the HOA requesting that the HOA execute and return the estoppel certificate. In no event shall the execution of the estoppel certificate by the HOA be a condition precedent to any of Purchaser’s obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, any Purchaser’s obligation to purchase the Property.

The provisions of this Section 14 (a) through (m) shall survive the Close of Escrow.

15. Loss by Fire, Other Casualty or Condemnation.

(a) Material Damage. In the event that, prior to the Closing, the Property is destroyed or materially damaged (as defined in Section 15(c) below) by casualty, Purchaser shall have the right, exercisable by giving notice to Seller within fifteen (15) days after receiving

 

-34-


written notice of such casualty, either (i) to terminate this Agreement and obtain a refund of the Deposit, in which case neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder other than those obligations that expressly survive a termination of this Agreement and except that Purchaser and Seller each shall be responsible for one-half (1/2) of any title or escrow cancellation fee or (ii) to accept the Property in its then condition and to proceed with the Closing with an abatement or reduction in the Purchase Price in the amount of the deductible for the applicable insurance coverage, in which case Purchaser shall be entitled to receive an assignment of all of Seller’s rights to any insurance proceeds payable by reason of such damage or destruction. If Purchaser elects to proceed under clause (ii) above, Seller shall not compromise, settle or adjust any claims to such proceeds without Purchaser’s prior written consent.

(b) Non-Material Damage. In the event that, prior to the Closing, there is any non-material damage to the Property caused by casualty, Seller shall elect either (i) to repair or replace such damage prior to the Closing and Purchaser shall proceed with the Closing following completion of such repair or replacement, or (ii) to proceed to Closing without repair or replacement of the damage, in which case the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of any deductible for the applicable insurance coverage and Purchaser shall be entitled to receive an assignment of all of Seller’s rights to any insurance proceeds payable by reason of such damage or destruction; provided, however, that any cost or expense incurred by Seller in connection with repairing or replacing such damage shall not be included in any closing or post-closing proration or adjustment of the Purchase Price or otherwise credited to Seller’s benefit in connection with this transaction.

(c) Definition of Material Damage. For purposes of this Section 16, damage to the Property shall be deemed to involve a material portion thereof if the estimated cost of restoration or repair of such damage reasonably estimated by Seller shall be $5,600,000.

(d) Condemnation. In the event that, prior to the Closing, the entire Property, or any substantial portion thereof, is subject to a condemnation by a public authority, then Purchaser shall have the right, exercisable by giving notice to Seller within fifteen (15) days after receiving written notice of such taking, either (i) to terminate this Agreement and obtain a refund of the Deposit, in which case neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, other than those obligations that expressly survive a termination of this Agreement and except that Purchaser and Seller shall each be responsible for one-half of any title or Escrow cancellation fee or (ii) to accept the Property in its then condition and proceed to close this transaction, and to receive an assignment of all of Seller’s rights to any condemnation awards payable by reason of such condemnation. If Purchaser elects to proceed under clause (ii) above, Seller shall not compromise, settle or adjust any claims to such awards without Purchaser’s prior written consent. Seller agrees to give Purchaser prompt notice of any threatened taking of the Property promptly after Seller receives notice of the same. For the purposes of this Section 15(d) “substantial portion” shall mean any portion of the Property (i) the value of which, in the reasonable estimate of Seller, exceeds $5,600,000, (ii) which reduces the available parking to an amount less than the minimum number of spaces required by current law, or (iii) which results in a material reduction in the access to the Resort from Bob Hope Drive.

16. Default; Termination.

(a) Default by Seller.

(i) Discovered Prior to the Close of Escrow. In the event of any breach of any representation or warranty of Seller contained in Section 12(a) that is discovered prior to the Close of Escrow, then the provisions of Section 12(b)(i) shall apply. In the event (a) of any breach by Seller of any provision of this Agreement other than a breach of any representation or warranty under Section 12(a), which is not cured within fifteen (15) days after notice thereof from Purchaser (which fifteen (15) day period shall, if necessary, automatically extend the Closing Date to the expiration date of such fifteen (15) day period), or, (b) a breach of a representation or warranty of Seller contained in Section 12(a) discovered prior to the Close of Escrow is not cured by Seller (at Seller’s option, with no obligation to do so) in the manner specified in Section 12(b)(i) for any reason, and if the reasonably estimated damages to be incurred by Purchaser resulting from such breach, together with any damages for any breach of any representation or warranty of Seller contained in Section 12(a) (1) are equal to or are less than Five Hundred and Sixty Thousand Dollars ($560,000) in the aggregate (not on a per claim basis) (the “Deductible”), and so long as all conditions precedent to Purchaser’s obligations hereunder have been satisfied (other than any conditions precedent which are not satisfied due to the default by Seller), then Purchaser shall be obligated to close escrow under this Agreement with no reduction or other adjustment to the Purchase Price notwithstanding that Purchaser shall incur such damages, or (2) are greater than the Deductible, then Purchaser, as its sole and exclusive remedy, shall elect either (x) to terminate this Agreement, in which event the parties shall not have any obligations to the other except for their obligations that expressly survive a termination of this Agreement, the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, and all other rights and obligations of the parties hereunder (except those set forth in this clause (x)) shall terminate immediately; or (y) to irrevocably waive such default, nonperformance, inaccuracy or breach and proceed to Closing with a reduction in the Purchase Price equal to the reasonably estimated Damages in excess of the Deductible; or (z) to commence an action for specific performance of this Agreement; provided, however, that the remedy of specific performance shall be available to Purchaser only in the case of a willful refusal to close by Seller and in the event Purchaser files a suit for specific performance within forty-five (45) days following the Closing Date and does not include any claims for compensatory, punitive or other monetary damages in such suit, failing which, Purchaser shall be barred from enforcing Seller’s obligations in such manner and shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause (x).

(ii) Discovered After the Close of Escrow. In the event of any breach of any representations or warranty of Seller contained in Section 12(a), or in the event of any breach by Seller of any provision of this Agreement other than a breach of any representation or warranty under Section 12(a), that is discovered or occurs after the Close of Escrow shall be subject to the following: (i) no such claim shall be made until the damages from such claim are at least equal to the Deductible in the aggregate, (ii) any such claim must be made within 12 months after the Close of Escrow, and (iii) Purchaser shall be limited to its actual compensatory damages not to exceed Three Million Three Hundred Sixty Thousand Dollars ($3,360,000) in the aggregate (the “Cap”) from all claims in the aggregate (not on a per-claim basis), but shall not be entitled to

 

-36-


consequential or punitive damages or any lost rents, profits, “benefit of the bargain,” or lost business opportunities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Deductible, Cap, time limitations and the limitation on types of damages contained herein shall not apply to any claim with respect to (a) an obligation of Seller or its affiliates to pay the termination fees owing to Marriott International, Inc., Manager or their affiliates, or (b) any fraudulent acts or omissions by Seller.

The provisions of this Section 16(a) shall survive the Close of Escrow and any earlier termination of this Agreement.

(b) Default by Purchaser. If the Closing does not occur due to Purchaser’s failure or inability to perform any of its obligations hereunder, then Seller, as its sole and exclusive remedy, shall elect either: (i) to terminate this Agreement and receive the Deposit as liquidated damages for breaches occurring prior to the Closing Date, in which event the parties shall not have any obligations hereunder to the other except for the obligations that expressly survive a termination of this Agreement; or (ii) to waive such matter or condition and proceed to Closing. IF SELLER TERMINATES THIS AGREEMENT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 16(b)(i) AND HAS THE RIGHT TO RECEIVE THE DEPOSIT, THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE BY INITIALING BELOW THAT: (I) IN THE EVENT OF SUCH A DEFAULT, SELLER WILL INCUR CERTAIN COSTS AND OTHER DAMAGES IN AN AMOUNT THAT WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT OR IMPRACTICAL TO ASCERTAIN; AND (II) THE DEPOSIT, TOGETHER WITH ALL INTEREST, IF ANY, EARNED THEREON, BEARS A REASONABLE RELATIONSHIP TO THE DAMAGES WHICH THE PARTIES ESTIMATE MAY BE SUFFERED BY SELLER BY REASON OF SUCH A DEFAULT, AND THE DEPOSIT AND INTEREST IS NOT AN AMOUNT WHICH IS UNREASONABLE UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING AT THE TIME THIS AGREEMENT IS MADE (PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGING AND AGREEING THAT PURCHASER HAS FULLY CONSIDERED THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 16) AND SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES PRIOR TO ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND HAS CONSULTED WITH PURCHASER’S COUNSEL WITH RESPECT THERETO); AND (III) UPON DELIVERY TO ESCROW AGENT BY SELLER OF WRITTEN NOTICE OF THEIR ELECTION TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT AS PROVIDED IN CLAUSE (i) OF SECTION 16(b) SELLER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE AND RETAIN THE DEPOSIT, TOGETHER WITH ALL INTEREST EARNED THEREON, AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, AND PURCHASER SHALL FORTHWITH INSTRUCT ESCROW AGENT TO RELEASE THE DEPOSIT AND ALL INTEREST EARNED THEREON TO SELLER AND TO RETURN TO SELLER ALL DOCUMENTS AND INSTRUMENTS THERETOFORE DEPOSITED INTO THE ESCROW BY OR ON BEHALF OF THEM; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE DEPOSIT SHALL BE IN ADDITION TO AND NOT IN LIEU OF ANY AMOUNTS OWED TO SELLER BY PURCHASER AS A RESULT OF INDEMNITIES AND OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT WHICH EXPRESSLY SURVIVE ITS TERMINATION; AND PROVIDED FURTHER, THAT SELLER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER FROM PURCHASER ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND OTHER OUT OF POCKET COSTS INCURRED BY THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THE ENFORCEMENT OR DEFENSE OF OBLIGATIONS CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 16.

Any party hereto may change its address or designate different or other persons or entities to receive copies by notifying the other parties and Escrow Holder in advance in a manner described in this Section 17(c).

(d) No Lis Pendens. As material consideration to Seller’s entering into this Agreement with Purchaser, Purchaser expressly waives any right under California Code of Civil Procedure, Part II, Title 4.5 (Sections 409 through 409.9), under statutory law or at common law or otherwise to record or file a lis pendens or a notice of pendency of action or similar notice or any type of lien against all or any portion of the Property.

(i) Assignments.

(i) Except to Purchaser’s lender for security for any financing provided in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, in which case no consent is required, Purchaser may not assign its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Seller, and any such assignment shall not relieve the assignor of its obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may designate one or more Affiliates “controlled,” directly or indirectly, by Purchaser to take title to the Property and to perform Purchaser’s obligations with respect to the Closing, including execution and delivery of documents provided that (1) no designation pursuant to the preceding sentence shall relieve Purchaser from liability for performance of its obligations under this Agreement and (2) Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement are assigned to and assumed by such affiliate pursuant to a form of assignment and assumption reasonably approved by Seller. Such form of assignment and assumption shall include provisions identical to those set forth in Section 11 of this Agreement and assignee shall initial such provisions in the same manner as Purchaser has initialed them hereunder. The term “Affiliate” means (i) any Person which beneficially owns or holds 10% or more of any class of voting securities of such designated Person or 10% or more of the equity interest in such designated Person and (ii) any Person of which such designated Person beneficially owns or holds 10% or more of any class of voting securities or in which such designated Person beneficially owns or holds 10% or more of the equity interest.

(ii) Except to the extent expressly allowed under this Agreement, Seller shall have no right to assign or delegate any of its right, title and interest in, to and under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Purchaser. No assignment made by Seller shall be of any force or effect whatsoever unless and the prior written consent of Purchaser shall have been obtained. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no assignment to which Purchaser has consented shall relieve the assigning party from its liability under this Agreement. Any assignment made in violation hereof or which does not comply with the provisions hereof is and shall be null and void.

 

-39-


(iii) Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

(j) Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. In any action between the parties hereto seeking the enforcement of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, or in connection with the Property, the prevailing party in such action shall be awarded, in addition to damages, injunctive or other relief, its reasonable costs and expenses, not limited to taxable costs, and reasonable attorneys’ fees, charges and expenses.

(k) Prior Agreements. This Agreement supersedes any and all oral or written agreements between the parties and their respective affiliates hereto regarding the Property which are prior in time to this Agreement.

(o) Broker’s Fees and Commissions. Purchaser represents and warrants to Seller that it has not entered into any agreement or taken any action which will result in any obligation to pay any brokerage, finder’s fee or similar commission in connection with the purchase and sale of the Property as herein contemplated, other than to KSL Capital Partners, LLC. Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that it has not entered into any agreement or taken any action which will result in any obligation to pay any brokerage, finder’s fee or similar commission in connection with the purchase and sale of the Property as herein contemplated, other than to Hodges, Ward & Elliott. Purchaser and Seller each agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the other harmless from and against any and all claims for brokerage commissions and fees or finder’s fees payable in connection with the sale of the Property or the transactions covered and contemplated by this Agreement resulting from the act or omission of such indemnifying party, except that Purchaser shall not be indemnified for any commissions or fees owing to KSL Capital Partners, LLC, and Seller shall not be indemnified for any commissions or fees owing to Hodges, Ward & Elliott.

(r) Announcements. Seller and Purchaser shall consult with each other with regard to all press releases and other announcements issued at or prior to the Closing concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and, except as may be required by applicable laws or the applicable rules and regulations of any governmental agency or stock exchange, neither Seller nor Purchaser shall issue any such press release or other such publicity prior to the Closing without the prior consent of the other party.

Escrow Holder, in its capacity as escrow holder, shall be entitled to rely on any document or paper received by it, believed by such Escrow Holder, in good faith, to be bona fide and genuine. In the event of any dispute as to the disposition of the Deposit or any other monies held in escrow, or of any documents held in escrow, Escrow Holder may, if such Escrow Holder so elects, interplead the matter by filing an interpleader action in a court of competent jurisdiction in Riverside County, California, and pay into the registry of the court the Deposit, or deposit any such documents with respect to which there is a dispute in the registry of such court, whereupon

(ii) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary or any rights of Seller at law or in equity, in the event of any default or breach by Purchaser under this Agreement, Seller’s remedies shall in all events be restricted to enforcement of its rights against the Deposit and, to the extent this Agreement does not expressly limit Seller’s remedies to enforcement of its rights solely against the Deposit, the assets of Purchaser, and no recourse shall be had to any of the partners, members or shareholders of Purchaser personally or to any property and assets of any of the members, partners or shareholders of Purchaser.

(aa) No Effect Until Mutual Execution. The submission of this Agreement by Seller, its agent or representative for examination or execution by Purchaser does not constitute an option or offer to sell the Property upon the terms and conditions contained herein or a reservation of the Property in favor of Purchaser, it being intended hereby that this Agreement shall only become effective upon the execution hereof by Seller and Purchaser and delivery of a fully executed agreement to Purchaser and Escrow Holder

(bb) Survival. The provisions of this Section 17 shall survive the Closing.

NON-FOREIGN PERSON AFFIDAVIT

Under Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the ”U.S. Code”), a transferee of a United States real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person. To inform KSL RLP Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the ”Transferee”), that withholding of tax will not be required upon the transfer to Transferee by New Rancho, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the “Transferor”), of that certain real property located in the State of California and currently known as “Marriott’s Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa” located at 41000 Bob Hope Drive, Rancho Mirage, California (the “Property”), the undersigned hereby certifies the following on behalf of Transferor:

1. Transferor is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust, or foreign estate, as those terms are defined in the U.S. Code and the Income Tax Regulations promulgated thereunder; and

2. Transferor’s U.S. employer identification number is                     .

3. Transferor’s principal place of business address is Strategic Hotels & Resorts, Inc., 77 West Wacker Drive, Suite 4600, Chicago, Illinois 60606.

Transferor understands that this Certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment, or both.

Transferor understands that Transferee is relying on this Certificate in determining whether withholding is or will be required in connection with the transfer of the Property by Transferor to Transferee, and that Transferee may face liabilities if any statement contained in this certificate is false.

Transferor hereby indemnifies Transferee, and agrees to hold Transferee harmless, from any liability or cost which such Transferee may incur as a result of: (i) the Transferor’s failure to pay any U.S. Federal Income tax which Transferor is required to pay under applicable federal law or (ii) any false or misleading statement contained herein. Under penalties of perjury, I declare that I have examined this Certification and to the best of my knowledge declare that I have authority to sign this document on behalf of Transferor.
