foregoing, collectively, the "Excluded Property"). The Land, the Hotel, and the Personal

2. PURCHASE PRICE AND PAYMENT; ESCROW.
2.1
The total purchase price payable to Seller for the Property is the Purchase Price,
subject to adjustment as herein provided.
2.2
The Purchase Price is payable as follows:
2.2.1.1
Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by
the parties hereto, Purchaser delivered to Escrow Agent by wire transfer of immediately
available United States federal funds, the sum of Five Million and No/100 Dollars
($5,000,000.00) (the "Initial Deposit"), which Initial Deposit shall be held by Escrow
Agent in escrow pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and shall become non-
refundable to Purchaser upon the delivery of a Go Forward Notice (as hereinafter
defined), except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.
The "Initial
Deposit" shall include all interest accrued thereon, and such interest shall be payable to
the party entitled to receive the Initial Deposit pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
2.2.1.2
Not later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the business day following
the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, if Purchaser has timely delivered a Go
Forward Notice, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller by wire transfer of immediately
available United States federal funds, the sum of Five Million and No/100 Dollars
($5,000,000.00) (the "Final Deposit", together with the Initial Deposit, collectively
referred to as the "Deposit"), which Final Deposit shall become non-refundable to
Purchaser, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. The "Deposit"
shall include all interest accrued thereon, and such interest shall be payable to the party
entitled to receive the Final Deposit pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Failure by
Purchaser to timely deliver all or any part of the Final Deposit in accordance with this
subsection shall constitute a material default by Purchaser hereunder and Seller shall be
entitled to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Purchaser.
2.2.1.3
At Closing (hereinafter defined), Purchaser shall pay the additional
sum of Thirty Eight Million and No/I 00 Dollars ($38,000,000.00), subject to adjustments

payable to the direct order of, or as otherwise directed, by Seller.
2.3
Purchaser expressly agrees and acknowledges that Purchaser's obligations to pay
the Purchase Price at the Closing and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby are
not in any way contingent, conditioned upon or qualified by Purchaser's obtaining or failing to
obtain any financing of any amount, type or nature whatsoever (e.g., whether by way of debt
financing, equity investment, or otherwise). Nevertheless, if Purchaser obtains a mortgage,
notwithstanding the fact that neither this Agreement, nor the Closing is contingent on
Purchaser's ability to obtain such a mortgage, then upon Purchaser's request, Seller will request
6
513950-2-W
EFTA00805220
that its lender cooperate in attempting to arrange for an assignment of Seller's mortgage to
Purchaser's lender (the "Assignment of Mortgage"), at no cost, expense or assumption of
liability to Seller. Seller makes no representation or warranty that an Assignment of Mortgage
will be available to Purchaser or that Seller's lender will cooperate in this regard. In the event
that the parties are able to accomplish an Assignment of Mortgage, Purchaser shall pay all costs
and expenses of both Seller's mortgagee and Purchaser's lender required in connection
therewith. All mortgage recording tax savings realized by Purchaser due to the Assignment of
Mortgage shall be for the benefit of Purchaser at Closing.
2.4
Purchaser expressly agrees and acknowledges that although the Property includes
the Personal Property, such Personal Property has no independent resale value, that no portion of
the Purchase Price is allocated to such Personal Property, and that no Personal Property shall be
sold to Purchaser in the event that the Closing does not occur. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Purchaser shall remain solely liable for the payment of any sales tax that may be imposed upon
the transfer of any Personal Property and shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from
any and all such tax. The provisions of this Section 2.4 shall survive the Closing.
2.5
'Escrow Agent shall hold the Deposit in escrow in a segregated bank account
until Closing or sooner termination of this Agreement and shall pay over or apply the Deposit in
accordance with the terms of this Section 2.5 (or, if applicable, Escrow Agent shall return the
Initial Deposit to Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.1.2 if Purchaser timely fails to deliver a Go
Forward Notice pursuant to said Section 8.1.2).
2.5.1.1
The Social Security or Federal Identification Numbers of the parties
shall be furnished to Escrow Agent upon request. At Closing, the Deposit shall be paid
by Escrow Agent to Seller. If for any reason Closing does not occur and either party
gives notice to Escrow Agent demanding payment of the Deposit, Escrow Agent shall
give prompt notice to the other party of such demand. If Escrow Agent does not receive
notice of objection from such other party to the proposed payment within ten (10) days
after the giving of such notice, Escrow Agent is hereby authorized and directed to make
such payment. If Escrow Agent does receive such notice of objection within such ten
(10) day period or if for any other reason Escrow Agent in good faith shall elect not to
make such payment, Escrow Agent shall continue to hold such amount until otherwise
directed by notice from Seller and Purchaser or a final, non-appealable judgment, order
or decree of a court. However, Escrow Agent shall have the right at any time to deposit
the Deposit with the clerk of a court in the county in which the Property are located or in
which the parties have consented to the laying of venue and shall give notice of such
deposit to Seller and Purchaser. Upon such deposit or other disbursement in accordance
with the terms of this paragraph, Escrow Agent shall be relieved and discharged of all
further obligations and responsibilities hereunder.
2.5.1.2
The parties acknowledge that Escrow Agent is acting solely as a
stakeholder at their request and for their convenience and that Escrow Agent shall not be
1 Section 2.5 subject to escrow agent review.
7
513950-2-W
EFTA00805221
liable to either party for any act or omission on its part unless taken or suffered in bad
faith or in willful disregard of this Agreement or involving gross negligence on the part
of Escrow Agent. Seller and Purchaser jointly and severally (with right of contribution)
agree to defend (by attorneys selected by Escrow Agent), indemnify and hold Escrow
Agent harmless from and against all costs, claims and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees whether services are performed in-house or by another firm or counsel)
incurred in connection with the performance of Escrow Agent's duties hereunder, except
with respect to actions or omissions taken or suffered by Escrow Agent in bad faith or in
willful disregard of this Agreement or involving gross negligence on the part of Escrow
Agent.
2.5.1.3
Escrow Agent may act or refrain from acting in respect of any matter
referred to herein in full reliance upon and with the advice of counsel which may be
selected by it and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from action upon the
advice of such counsel.
2.5.1.4
Escrow Agent acknowledges receipt of the Deposit by wire transfer
and Escrow Agent's agreement to the provisions of this Section 2.5 by signing in the
place indicated on the signature page of this Agreement.

the office of the Title Company though an escrow with the Title Company or its underwriter, in
all cases at 10:00 a.m. eastern time, on the Scheduled Closing Date (and the actual date of the

OBLIGATION TO CLOSE ON OR BEFORE THE SCHEDULED CLOSING DATE (AS THE
SAME MAY BE EXTENDED BY SELLER PURSUANT TO THE EXPRESS PROVISIONS
OF THIS CONTRACT).
3.2
The acceptance by Purchaser of the Deed shall constitute an acknowledgment by
Purchaser that all obligations of Seller set forth in this Agreement have been discharged in full,
and upon such acceptance, Seller shall be released from any and all obligations by reason of this
Agreement, except only such obligations, if any, which shall pursuant to the express provisions
of this Agreement survive the Closing hereunder.
4. PURCHASER'S TITLE REPORT; OBJECTIONS TO TITLE.
8
513950-2-W
EFTA00805222
4.1
Seller shall give and Purchaser shall accept such title the Title Company shall be
willing to approve and insure, subject only to the matters provided for in this Agreement,
including, without limitation, the permitted exceptions more particularly set forth on Exhibit B
annexed hereto and incorporated herein ("Permitted Exception(s)"). Purchaser shall promptly
order a title commitment and a survey or survey update or inspection for the Property and
Purchaser shall direct the Title Company2, in writing, to furnish a copy of such title commitment
("Commitment") and survey, survey update or survey inspection (collectively, "Survey"),
together with any update thereof, to Seller's attorneys, addressed to the attention of Matthew
Danow, Esq. Purchaser shall be deemed to have agreed to accept title subject to such matters as
disclosed in the Commitment and/or Survey, unless, within five (5) business days prior to the
expiration of the Due Diligence Period (time being of the essence), Purchaser shall deliver a
notice in the form of a letter or e-mail from Purchaser's attorney to Seller's attorney (an
"Objection Notice") to Seller identifying any encumbrances or objections to title (other than
Permitted Exceptions) as disclosed by the Commitment and/or Survey. In the event Purchaser
shall fail to timely deliver an Objection Notice, time being of the essence, all matters,
encumbrances or objections to title as disclosed by the Commitment and/or Survey shall be
deemed to be Permitted Exceptions, Seller shall have no obligation to cause to be removed (and
Purchaser agrees to take title subject to) any such matters, encumbrances or objections to title,
except that Seller shall cause to be removed (and Purchaser shall not be required to object to) (i)
any mortgages, financing statements or similar security instruments placed on the Property in
connection with Seller's financing of the Property (subject to the provisions of Section 7.4) (ii)
any mechanic's liens against the Property for work performed, and (iii) liens which can be cured
by the payment of a liquidated sum of money, provided that Seller shall not be obligated to incur
or pay sums in excess of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) in the
aggregate in order to cure any liens or defects pursuant to this clause (iii) (collectively, the
"Required Removal Items").
In the event the Commitment and/or Survey is updated,
Purchaser shall have until the earlier of: (a) two (2) business days following its receipt of the
same; or (b) the Closing, time being of the essence as to the earlier of the foregoing dates, to
deliver an Objection Notice to any new matters disclosed by such update. Purchaser shall have
no right to object to any matter disclosed or raised in any update to the Commitment and/or
Survey to the extent such matters were previously disclosed in the Commitment and/or Survey
(or previous updates of either) and Purchaser did not timely deliver an Objection Notice, time
being of the essence, as required pursuant to this Section 4.1 or if such updated matters otherwise
constitute a Permitted Exception.
4.2
If Seller shall be unable to cause to be removed any exceptions or defects
disclosed by the Commitment and/or Survey (or update thereof), which do not constitute
Permitted Exceptions, or is otherwise unable to convey title in accordance with this Agreement,
by the Closing Date, Seller shall have the right to adjourn the Closing Date for up to sixty (60)
days (the "Extended Removal Period"), in the aggregate, to attempt to remove such exceptions
or defects; provided, however, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Seller
shall not be required to bring any action or proceeding, or pay or incur any expenses in order to
remove or correct any exceptions, encumbrances or defects except that Seller shall cause to be
2 Does Seller have an existing survey?
9
513950-2-W
EFTA00805223
removed the Required Removal Items. The foregoing sentence shall not affect the parties'
obligation to prorate certain adjustments at and subsequent to the Closing. If, at the expiration of
the Extended Removal Period, Seller remains unable to cause the exceptions or defects to be
removed or corrected, or is otherwise unable to convey title in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, then Seller shall so notify Purchaser and Purchaser may elect either to: (a) terminate
this Agreement by notice to Seller within ten (10) business days following the earlier of: (i)
Purchaser's receipt of notice from Seller that Seller is or will be unable to cause such matters to
be removed; or (ii) the expiration of Seller's Extended Removal Period; or (b) accept such title as
Seller may convey and shall complete the transaction as otherwise contemplated by this
Agreement, but in no event shall Purchaser be entitled to any abatement of the Purchase Price or
to any lost profits or other damages, deductions, offsets or credits. In the event Purchaser fails to
notify Seller of its election within such ten (10) business day period, Purchaser shall be deemed
to have elected to terminate hereunder in accordance with the preceding clause "(a)". In the
event Purchaser timely delivers notice of its termination of this Agreement pursuant to the
preceding clause "(a)", or is deemed to have elected the same, this Agreement shall thereupon
terminate, Purchaser shall be entitled to the return of the Deposit together with any interest
earned thereon and neither party shall have any further liability or obligation to the other
hereunder except those expressly stated to survive termination of this Agreement.
4.3
It is expressly understood and agreed that Purchaser shall not have the right to
terminate this Agreement by reason of the existence of any conditions which Purchaser has
agreed to take subject to or has otherwise waived or has been deemed to waive (each as
expressly provided in this Agreement), the Purchase Price shall not, in any respect, be reduced,
nor shall Purchaser be entitled to any damages by reason thereof. Purchaser agrees that upon
settlement at Closing, it shall be deemed and considered as full compliance by Seller of all
representations and warranties made by Seller in this Agreement, and all obligations and
agreements by Seller to be performed, except those representations and warranties and
obligations and agreements stated in this Agreement to expressly survive the Closing.
4.4
If the Property shall, at the time of Closing, be subject to any liens, judgments,
encumbrances or other title defects which are not otherwise Permitted Exceptions, the same shall
not be deemed an objection to title or grounds for Purchaser's refusal to close hereunder;
provided, that, at Closing, at Purchaser's option, either: (a) Seller uses all or a portion of the
Purchase Price to satisfy the same and delivers to Purchaser and/or the Title Company
instruments in recordable form sufficient to satisfy and discharge of record such liens and
encumbrances, together with the cost of recording or filing such instruments; or (b) the Title
Company will otherwise issue or bind itself to issue a policy which will insure Purchaser against
collection thereof from, or enforcement thereof, against the Property. Upon request, Purchaser
agrees to provide (out of the balance of the Purchase Price), at Closing, separate certified or
official bank checks, as directed by Seller, to facilitate the satisfaction or removal of any of such
liens or defects. Notwithstanding anything contained in Articles 4 or 5 to the contrary, Purchaser
may at any time accept such title as Seller can convey, without reduction of the Purchase Price.
4.5
[Purchaser agrees to purchase the Property subject to any and all notes or notices
of violations of law, or municipal ordinances, orders, designations or requirements whatsoever
10
513950-2-W
EFTA00805224
noted in or issued by any federal, state, municipal or other governmental department, agency or
bureau or any other governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Premises (collectively,
"Violations") and any condition or state of repair or disrepair or other matter or thing, whether
or not noted, which, if noted, would result in a Violation being placed on the Premises, provided
that Seller shall at the time of Closing pay any liquidated fine imposed with respect to any and all
such Violations. Seller shall have no duty to remove or comply with or repair any condition,
matter or thing whether or not noted, which resulted in a Violation, or which, if noted, would
result in a Violation being placed on the Hotel, and Seller shall have no duty to remove or
comply with or repair any of the aforementioned Violations or other conditions, or to remove the
same of record, and Purchaser shall accept the Property subject to all such Violations, the
existence of any conditions at the Premises which would give rise to such Violations, if any, and
any governmental claims arising from the existence of such Violations, in each case without any
abatement of or credit against the Purchase Price.]3

rate for the preceding year to the latest assessed valuation, but, promptly after the
assessment and/or tax rate for the current year are fixed, the apportionment thereof shall
be recalculated and Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall make an appropriate
payment to the other within five (5) business days based on such recalculation. If as of
the Closing Date, the Property or any portion thereof shall be affected by any special or
general assessments which are or may become payable in installments of which the first
installment is then a lien and has become payable, Seller shall pay the unpaid installments
of such assessments which are due prior to the Closing Date and Purchaser shall pay the
installments which are due on or after the Closing Date. In the event either party
succeeds in obtaining a reduction of any Property Taxes, then any refund or recovery
(whether in the form of a check, statement or account credit or future rate reductions (to
the extent attributable to a refund or recovery for prior overpayments) or otherwise) shall
be apportioned between the parties as of the Apportionment Date; provided, that any
reasonable costs and fees of either party applicable to obtaining said reduction (provided
3 Section subject to review of outstanding violations.
11
513950-2-W

recovery or refund received or paid by Seller and Purchaser.
5.1.2

ordinary course, in a manner consistent with prior practice so as to keep the Property in good

or other benefits, frequent traveler awards programs, vacation discount programs, corporate,
government or group discounts, weekend discounts or requirements that ancillary food, beverage

reservations for dates after the Closing Date will be forwarded to Purchaser upon receipt.

representation or warranty that any party holding a room reservation or agreement for Hotel
facilities or services will utilize such reservation or honor such agreement. Purchaser, by the
execution hereof, assumes the risk of non-utilization of reservations and non-performance of
such agreements.
8.3.3

against any claim that may be asserted against Seller alleging that Purchaser has wrongfully

EFTA00805242
8.3.4
At Seller's option, Seller shall send an announcement to all guests and

upon or make any claim based upon the provisions of this Agreement regarding employees of
Seller.
8.4.4
The provisions of this Section 8.4 shall survive the Closing.
[NTD: ARE THERE ANY PENDING TAX CONTESTS?]
9. DEFAULT.
9.1
If Purchaser shall fail or refuse to effectuate the Closing when under the
obligation to do so in accordance with this Agreement or if Purchaser shall otherwise default in
any of its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect and fail to cure the same
following ten (10) days written notice, then Seller's sole remedy by reason thereof shall be to (i)
waive such default and proceed to Closing or (ii) terminate this Agreement upon notice to
Purchaser, and, upon such termination, Seller shall be entitled to retain the Deposit as liquidated
damages for Purchaser's default hereunder (it being agreed that the damages to Seller by reason
of Purchaser's default are difficult, if not impossible, to reasonably ascertain), and thereafter
Purchaser and Seller shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement except for
those that are expressly provided in this Agreement to survive the termination hereof. If Seller
29
513950-2-W
EFTA00805243
terminates this Agreement pursuant to a right given to it hereunder and Purchaser takes any
action which interferes with Seller's ability to sell, exchange, transfer, lease, dispose of or finance
the Property or take any other actions with respect thereto (including, without limitation, the
filing of any lis pendens or other form of attachment against the Property), then Purchaser (and
any permitted assignee of Purchaser's interest hereunder) shall be liable for all loss, cost,
damage, liability or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs
and disbursements) incurred by Seller by reason of such action to contest by Purchaser.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Purchaser acknowledges that
Purchaser's indemnification obligations which are expressly stated herein to survive the Closing
or termination of this Agreement are and shall not be limited by the amount of submission or
forfeiture of the Deposit. All such surviving indemnification obligations are in addition to, and
not reduced by, Seller's entitlement to the Deposit at Closing or upon Purchaser's default
hereunder and Seller's termination of this Agreement.
9.2
If Seller shall fail or refuse to effectuate the Closing when under the obligation to
do so in accordance with this Agreement or if Seller shall otherwise default in any of its
obligations under this Agreement in any material respect and fail to cure the same following ten
(10) days written notice, Purchaser, as its sole remedy by reason thereof, shall have the right (in
lieu of prosecuting an action or proceeding for damages, the right to bring such actions or
proceedings being expressly and voluntarily waived by Purchaser, to the fullest extent legally
permissible, following and upon advice of its counsel) to either: (a) seek to obtain specific
performance of Seller's obligations hereunder, provided that any action for specific performance
shall be commenced within ninety (90) days immediately following the then Scheduled Closing
Date; (b) to terminate this Agreement and receive a return of the Deposit together with any
interest earned thereon, together with Purchaser's out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the transaction contemplated hereby, not to exceed $300,000, it being
understood that if Purchaser fails to commence an action for specific performance within the
aforesaid ninety (90) day period, Purchaser's sole remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement in
accordance with the preceding clause "(b)", or (c) waive such default and proceed to Closing
hereunder. If Purchaser elects to seek specific performance of this Agreement, then as a
condition precedent to any suit for specific performance, Purchaser shall on or before the then
scheduled Closing Date, time being of the essence, have been ready, willing and able to fully
perform all of its obligations hereunder which are capable of being performed. Upon Purchaser's
election to terminate and Seller's (or Escrow Agent's) return and delivery of the Deposit, this
Agreement shall terminate and neither party hereto shall have any further obligations hereunder
except for those that are expressly provided in this Agreement to survive the termination hereof.

or Hotel, then, in either instance: (i) Purchaser shall have no right to terminate this Agreement;
(ii) Seller shall have no obligation to restore or rebuild any portion of the Property; (iii) the
Closing shall take place as herein provided, without abatement of the Purchase Price; (iv) Seller
30
513950-2-W

insurance policy(ies), less all Reimbursable Amounts not received by Seller from any Award
paid to Seller prior to the Closing; and (vii) the net proceeds of any rent interruption insurance, if
maintained, less Seller's Reimbursable Amounts, if any, shall be appropriately apportioned
between Purchaser and Seller.

by fire or other casualty for which the estimated cost to restore the Property is $4,800,000.00 or

"Major Loss"), then Purchaser may terminate this Agreement upon written notice given to
Seller within ten (10) business days, time being of the essence, after Seller has delivered or
Purchaser has received actual notice that a Major Loss has occurred. If Purchaser does not elect
to so terminate this Agreement or fails to timely deliver a termination notice within such ten (10)
business day period, time being of the essence, then the provisions of clauses "(i)" through
"(vii)" (both inclusive) of Section 10.1 shall control.
10.3
Nothing contained in this Article 10 shall be construed to impose upon Seller any
obligation to repair any damage or destruction caused by fire or other casualty or condemnation.

subject to Purchaser's approval of any final settlements, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld conditioned or delayed, and from and after the Closing Date, Purchaser
shall have the exclusive right to negotiate, compromise or contest the obtaining of any Awards,

withheld conditioned or delayed. The parties shall reasonably cooperate with one another in
order to recover any such Award. The provisions of this Section 10.4 shall survive the Closing.
