INDEMNITY; SURVIVAL

8.1    Indemnification.    Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (A) the WB Parties and any of their respective Affiliates or other “permitted transferees” who receive any Shares pursuant to a “permitted transfer” in accordance with the terms and conditions of the STRRRA, covenant and agree to indemnify and save and hold the SHR Parties harmless at all times after the Closing in respect of any and all liabilities, actions, suits, damages, losses, proceedings, demands, judgments, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (collectively, “Losses”), suffered or incurred by the SHR Parties, arising from, by reason of or in connection with: any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or non-fulfillment of any agreement on the part of WB Parties under this Agreement or in any certificate, instrument or agreement provided for in this Agreement; provided, however, that the WB Parties shall not indemnify the SHR Parties for any such misrepresentation if the SHR Parties or Asset Manager had Knowledge of such misrepresentation at any time prior to or at the Closing; and (B) the SHR Parties covenant and agree to indemnify and save and hold Hotel Sellers harmless at all times after the Closing in respect of any and all Losses suffered or incurred by Hotel Sellers, arising from, by reason of or in connection with: (i) Assumed Liabilities; (ii) any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or non-fulfillment of any agreement on the part of the SHR Parties under this Agreement or in any certificate, instrument or agreement provided for in this Agreement on the part of the SHR Parties, unless it was known by Hotel Sellers and not known by Hotel Buyer or Asset Manager prior to the Closing; (iii) any liability resulting from Hotel Buyer’s inspection of the Hotel Properties prior to the Closing; (iv) any liability or responsibility for any items claimed to have been in safe deposit boxes but not appearing on the list as described in Section 9.7 and all claims, losses and liabilities with respect thereto arising out of the acts or omissions of Hotel Buyer after the Closing Date; (v) any claims, losses or liabilities in connection with baggage and property described in Section 9.8 arising out of the acts or omissions of Hotel Buyer from and after the Closing Date; and (vi) all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses arising out of Vouchers from and after the Closing Date. The SHR Parties’ right to indemnification under clause (A) above shall be limited to such portion of the Stock Consideration that is allocated to the WB Party committing such misrepresentation, breach of warranty or non-fulfillment, which Stock Consideration may be used by such WB Party (and/or any of its Affiliates or other “permitted transferees” who receive any Shares pursuant to a “permitted transfer” in accordance with the terms and conditions of the STRRRA) to satisfy any indemnity obligation under this Section 8.1.

 

  - 21 -   PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT


For purposes of determining the value of the Shares being utilized to satisfy any indemnity obligation under this Section 8.1 as aforesaid, such Shares shall be valued based upon the 10-day trailing daily weighted average market price. The indemnifications provided in this Section 8.1 are not limited to third party claims but include damages, losses and expenses incurred or sustained by the indemnified party in the absence of third party claims. The provisions of this Section 8.1 shall survive the Closing.

8.1.1    Notice of Indemnification Claim.    The indemnified party shall provide the indemnifying party prompt notice (“Demand”) of any such claims of liability with reasonable promptness and the indemnifying party, at its election, shall have the right of defense in such proceedings, by counsel of its own choosing, at the indemnifying party’s expense. The indemnified party shall cooperate fully in all reasonable respects with the indemnifying party in any such defense, including by making available to the indemnifying party all pertinent information under the control of the indemnified party. If the indemnifying party does not agree by written notice to defend the indemnified party within 15 Business Days of the Demand, then the indemnified party may defend or settle such claim or action at the indemnifying party’s sole cost and expense in such manner as the indemnified party deems appropriate; provided, however, that the indemnified party shall not, without the written consent of the indemnifying party, settle or compromise any such claim or consent to the entry of any judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof, a written release from all liability with respect to such claim or imposes equitable remedies or material obligations on the indemnifying party other than financial obligations for which the indemnified party may be indemnified hereunder. If the indemnifying party agrees to defend the indemnified party within such time period, then the indemnifying party may defend, but not settle, a claim without waiving its right to assert that such claim is not subject to the indemnity agreements in this Section 8.1, unless such settlement: (x) involves only the payment of money and (y) the indemnifying party obtains a reasonably satisfactory release from the third party in favor of both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party. If the indemnifying party elects to defend a claim, the indemnified party may, at the indemnified party’s expense, participate in such matter with counsel of the indemnified party’s own choosing.

8.1.2    Advance Payment.    The right to indemnification conferred in this Section 8.1 shall include the right to be paid or reimbursed by the indemnifying party the reasonable expenses incurred by an indemnified party who is, or is threatened to be made, a named defendant or respondent in a proceeding in advance of final disposition of such proceeding and without determination as the person’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification; provided, however, that all amounts so advanced shall be repaid if it shall ultimately be determined that such indemnified party is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 8.1 or otherwise.

8.2    Survival.    The representations and warranties set forth in Article 7 shall survive the Closing for a period of one year (the “Survival Period”) and shall not be deemed to have merged into any of the documents delivered at Closing. The covenants set forth in Sections 9.7, 9.8, 9.10, 9.11, 9.12, 9.13, and Articles VIII, X, XII and XIII shall survive the Closing without limitation, except such limitations as set forth herein.

The SHR Parties specifically waive the provision of any statute or principle of law, which provides otherwise. In this connection and to the extent permitted by law, the SHR Parties agree, represent and warrant that the SHR Parties realize and acknowledge that factual matters now unknown to the SHR Parties may have given or may hereafter give rise to causes of action, claims, demands, debts, controversies, damages, costs, losses and expenses which are presently unknown, unanticipated and unsuspected, and the SHR Parties further agree, represent and warrant that the waivers and releases herein have been negotiated and agreed upon in light of that realization and that the SHR Parties nevertheless hereby intend to release, discharge and acquit Hotel Sellers and each of the Released Parties from any such unknown causes of action, claims, demands, debts, controversies, damages, costs, losses and expenses.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Hotel Sellers’ 401(k) Plan and the New 401(k) Plan shall be amended, as necessary, to provide that any Rehired Employees with an outstanding loan under Hotel Sellers’ 401(k) Plan shall be entitled to have such loan transferred to the New 401(k) Plan and Hotel Buyer or Manager or its Affiliate shall maintain such loan under the New 401(k) Plan; provided that, prior to the transfer of any such loan, Hotel Sellers shall have notified Hotel Buyer or Manager or its Affiliate if, to Hotel Sellers’ knowledge, such loan was not made or administered in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 72(p) of the Code.

9.12.1    Hotel Buyer’s Application for New Liquor Licenses.

  - 31 -   PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT


and file an application with each of the applicable Governmental Authorities for the transfer of the existing Liquor Licenses at the Hotels or for the issuance of new Liquor Licenses. Simultaneous with the filing of such applications for transfer of the Liquor Licenses, if obtainable under local liquor law, the SHR Parties shall file with each of the applicable Governmental Authorities an application for a temporary retail permit allowing Hotel Buyer to continue the operation of the business from and after the Closing and until the transfer (or re-issuance) of the Liquor Licenses occurs.

9.12.1.2    Hotel Sellers shall reasonably cooperate with the SHR Parties (at no cost or liability to Hotel Sellers or any Affiliate of Hotel Sellers), and shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Liquor Licensees to fully cooperate with the SHR Parties (at no cost or liability to the Liquor Licensees or any of their Affiliates) as the SHR Parties may reasonably request to effect the transfer of the Liquor Licenses or effectuate the issuance of new Liquor Licenses to Hotel Buyer or its nominee, including, without limitation, providing and/or executing such commercially reasonable and customary forms, certificates, agreements or other documents in the form required by the relevant liquor board or licensing authority and, to the extent required under applicable Governmental Regulations, establishing any necessary escrow arrangements, to (i) transfer and/or surrender current Liquor Licenses, (ii) issue new Liquor Licenses to Hotel Buyer or its nominee and (iii) transfer closed Liquor Inventory where lawfully permitted.

9.12.1.3    If any of the existing Liquor Licenses are required for liquor operations at the Hotels subsequent to the Closing, such circumstance in no way creates, or is intended to create, a relationship of agency, partnership or joint venture between Hotel Sellers, Manager and the SHR Parties (or any of their respective Affiliates) for operations at the Hotels, including liquor operations at the Hotels.

9.12.1.4    Provided the SHR Parties have received all required and appropriate permits and licenses, the Liquor Inventory at the Hotels (to the extent same is owned by Liquor Licensees and exists as of the Closing) shall be transferred to the SHR Parties concurrently upon the Closing as part of the Hotels.

9.12.2    Transfer of Liquor Inventory.

9.12.2.1    The foregoing notwithstanding, in the event Hotel Buyer or its Affiliate has not been issued a Liquor License for the Hotels by the Closing and, as a result thereof, (i) Hotel Buyer or its Affiliates may not lawfully take title to the Liquor Inventory at the Hotel on the Closing Date, and (ii) Manager or an Affiliate of Hotel Seller retains title to the Liquor Inventory during the term of the Interim Liquor Agreement, Hotel Sellers shall cause Manager or Hotel Sellers’ Affiliate to convey such Liquor Inventory to Hotel Buyer or its Affiliate at such future time as Hotel Buyer or its Affiliate is issued a Liquor License; it being agreed that in such instance until the conveyance of the Liquor Inventory can be lawfully made to Hotel Buyer or its Affiliates, the existing Liquor Inventory shall continue to be held by the existing Liquor Licensee under the Interim Liquor Agreement and used for the benefit of the SHR Parties and the Hotels. In the event the circumstances described in the immediately preceding sentence occur with respect to the Hotels, the transfer or assignment to Hotel Buyer or

 

  - 32 -   PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT


its Affiliate at Closing of the Liquor Inventory at the Hotels shall not be deemed or construed to be a condition to the obligations of either Hotel Sellers or the SHR Parties hereunder.

9.12.2.2    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Liquor Inventory shall be sold and transferred to Hotel Buyer only in such manner as complies with applicable Governmental Regulations, including alcoholic beverage control laws and the terms of the Liquor Licenses. If applicable law requires that the Liquor Inventory at the Hotels (or any other aspect of the liquor operations of the Hotels) be transferred in a transaction separate and apart from the sale and purchase of the Hotels, then: (A) such Liquor Inventory shall be excluded from the Inventory sold as part of the Hotels under this Agreement, and (B) the SHR Parties shall in good faith negotiate with the applicable Liquor Licensee (and Hotel Sellers, if not such Liquor Licensee, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Liquor Licensee to negotiate in good faith with the SHR Parties) a separate agreement and escrow incorporating the provisions of Section 9.12.3, to close as soon as reasonably practicable, for the sale of the Liquor Inventory and the transfer of the liquor operations to Hotel Buyer or its nominee.

9.12.3    Interim Liquor Arrangements.    In the event that Liquor Licenses have not been issued to Hotel Buyer at Closing for the Hotels and at Hotel Buyer’s request and provided same is permitted pursuant to applicable Governmental Regulations, Hotel Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Liquor Licensees to enter into a lease, concession agreement or other arrangement (the “Interim Liquor Agreements”) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Hotel Sellers and such Liquor Licensees, which shall commence as of the Closing for a term of 180 days (or shorter, as Hotel Buyer may elect), and contain other commercially reasonable terms reasonably approved by Hotel Buyer and the applicable Liquor Licensee, under which the applicable liquor operations and the Hotels would continue to be operated under the now-existing Liquor Licenses until such time as all necessary approvals have been granted and Hotel Buyer or its nominee is able lawfully to take over the Hotels and applicable liquor operations or expiration of the term whichever first occurs. Hotel Buyer shall execute and deliver an indemnification agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit “H” attached hereto pursuant to which Hotel Buyer shall reimburse and indemnify Hotel Sellers and each of Hotel Seller Indemnitees and the Liquor Licensees for any Claims incurred by them in connection with any Interim Liquor Agreement entered into in accordance with this Section 9.12.3. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Governmental Regulations, any such arrangement shall be structured so as to preserve to Hotel Buyer or Hotel Sellers the economic or other benefits of the Transactions and, in any event, so as to indemnify Hotel Sellers and the Liquor Licensees, any personal signatory and the holder of any existing Liquor License from and against any Claim related to the licensed activities after Closing. This Section 9.12.3 shall survive the Closing.

9.13    Access to Information and Cooperation.    Hotel Buyer shall provide Hotel Sellers and their professional advisors with reasonable access to the books and records of the Hotels (i) if reasonably required in connection with any litigation, investigation, tax audit, discovery or similar proceeding (excluding any proceeding in which Hotel Buyer or any of its Affiliates are adverse to Hotel Sellers or any of its Affiliates), or in the preparation of tax returns, and (ii) as may be necessary in order to enable Hotel Sellers and their professional advisors to investigate claims for indemnification under Article VIII hereof, and to exercise fully all rights they may

 

  - 33 -   PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT


have in connection with such claims. Within 60 days of the Closing, Hotel Buyer shall provide to Hotel Seller a financial reporting package relating to the Hotels (comprised of the summary operating statement, summary profit and loss statement, cash flow statement, balance sheet, capital expenditure report, and, in the case of the FSJH Hotel, the summary operating statement – residential rentals) for the period from January 1, 2011 through to the Closing. Hotel Seller shall also be permitted to reasonably request such additional details to support the information contained in such financial reporting package. If Hotel Sellers shall request the assistance (including testimony) of employees of Hotel Buyer in connection with any litigation, investigation, tax audit, discovery, similar proceeding or claim, Hotel Buyer shall make such employees available for a reasonable period of time and Hotel Sellers shall pay reasonable appearance fees and expenses of such employees.
