Purchase and Sale. Subject to the terms and on the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Selling Parties agree to sell and convey and Purchaser agrees to purchase the assets listed on Appendix 1.1(A), Appendix 1.1(B), and Appendix 1.1(C) (collectively, the “Assets”) in exchange for payment of the Purchase Price. For avoidance of doubt, the Selling Parties are retaining the Excluded Assets. In consideration of the payment of $661,128,000 (the “Purchase Price”) by Purchaser to the Selling Parties, and other good and valuable consideration received by each of the parties hereto, the Selling Parties agree to sell, assign, transfer and convey the Assets to Purchaser or one or more of its designees, and Purchaser agrees to, or to cause one or more of its designees to, purchase the Assets, in multiple Closings, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein.

1.2

The Deposit. Purchaser has previously deposited the Deposit with the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent will hold the Deposit in an interest-bearing account in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreements. All interest accruing on such sums will become a part of the Deposit and will be distributed as part of the Deposit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Except as provided in the Escrow Agreements, the Deposit is non-refundable and upon the Primary Closing will be credited against the Purchase Price.

1.3

Payment of the Purchase Price. Upon the Primary Closing, the Deposit will be credited to the Purchase Price for the Assets conveyed to Purchaser by the Selling Parties at the Primary Closing.

The Escrow Agent will disburse to the Selling Parties the portion of the Purchase Price payable for the Assets conveyed at the Primary Closing less the portion of the Holdback Escrow Amount allocable to the Assets being conveyed at the Primary Closing and less the amount to be paid for the California liquor licenses which will be paid to the separate California Liquor License Escrow Agents pursuant to the California Liquor License

Escrow Agreements. The portion of the Purchase Price and the portion of the Holdback Escrow Amount allocated to the Delayed Closing Hotel will not be delivered by Purchaser to the Escrow Agent or paid to the applicable Seller until the Closing on those Assets occurs.

1.5

Independent Contract Consideration. Purchaser has previously delivered to the Selling Parties and the Selling Parties hereby acknowledge the receipt of funds in the amount of One Hundred Dollars ($100), which amount the parties bargained for and agreed to as consideration for Purchaser’s right to inspect and purchase the Assets pursuant to this Agreement and for the Selling Parties’ execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 2

INSPECTION PERIOD; TITLE

2.1	Inspection Period.

(a)

Purchaser will have the right to enter upon the Properties and the LodgeWorks Property to perform, at Purchaser’s expense, such economic, surveying, engineering, topographic and marketing tests, studies and investigations, including environmental studies, as Purchaser may deem appropriate, provided Purchaser gives Sellers’ Representative at least one business day notice prior to entering onto each Property. Upon execution of this Agreement, Sellers will provide to Purchaser all Phase I and Phase II environmental studies, engineering, asbestos, soil, fire inspection and ADA reports that Sellers have previously performed or received with respect to the Properties and the LodgeWorks Property. In the event that the Purchaser’s Phase I environmental study of the Properties raises sufficient issues to necessitate the performance of Phase II or Phase III studies, Purchaser will have the right to perform such studies on the relevant Properties. The cost of any new Phase II or Phase III studies of the Properties will be shared equally by the affected Seller and the Purchaser. At Purchaser’s discretion, Purchaser may also complete additional investigations of the Properties, including UCC, lien, litigation, judgment and bankruptcy searches. If Purchaser does not notify Sellers’ Representative, in writing, prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period that it elects to continue this Agreement and proceed to Closing, this Agreement will automatically terminate, and Purchaser will be released from any and all liability or obligation under this Agreement other than Purchaser’s indemnification obligations given pursuant to the following sentence which will survive termination of this Agreement, and the Deposit will be immediately refunded to Purchaser. Purchaser will indemnify the Selling Parties for any loss, damage or liabilities to the extent caused by Purchaser’s acts at the Properties and the LodgeWorks Property in connection with exercising its rights under this Section 2.1(a).

(b)

The Selling Parties have provided Purchaser access to the following records and information concerning the Properties, the LodgeWorks Property, and the Third Party Owned Hotels in the Selling Parties’ possession or control: (i) all existing architectural and engineering studies; (ii) all existing title insurance policies; (iii) all existing environmental audits, studies and reports; (iv) all internal operating statements and audited financial statements for calendar years 2009 and 2010 (to the extent the respective Hotel was open during such period); (v) all operating and capital expenditure budgets for calendar year 2011; (vi) all Existing License Agreements; (vii) current property improvement plans, if any; (viii) list of all material permits and licenses; (ix) to the Selling Parties’ knowledge, a complete list of all Intellectual Property pertaining to the Avia^®, Hotel Sierra^® and Sierra Suites^® hotel business; and (x) list of all material operating and service contracts (collectively, with all other documents reasonably requested by Purchaser hereunder, the “Due Diligence Documents”). The Purchaser will promptly provide the Selling Parties with a complete list that identifies any additional records and information concerning the Properties, the LodgeWorks Property, and the Third Party Owned Hotels in the Selling Parties’ possession or control that the Purchaser has not been previously provided. Upon receipt of Purchaser’s request for additional information, the Selling Parties will promptly make available to Purchaser, its agents, auditors, engineers, attorneys, and other designees for inspection copies of such requested records and information. None of the Selling Parties will be obligated to create, generate, or order new documents to satisfy Purchaser’s requests. For purposes of this Section, the posting of Due Diligence Documents and any other records and information on the Selling Parties’ extranet site and the delivery of the access code therefor, constitute delivery. Purchaser may, at its sole cost and expense, update and recertify any of the Surveys (the “Updated Surveys”). Purchaser will have the right to review the Updated Surveys for a period of not less than ten (10) days after the Updated Surveys are available and the Inspection Period will be extended if necessary. The Selling Parties shall, as promptly as practicable, furnish to the Purchaser such financial and other information with respect to the Selling Parties that would be required for the Purchaser to satisfy its obligations pursuant to Rule 3-05 and Article 11 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to the Assets, including the calculation of the significance conditions referred to in Rule 3-05(b)(2), which the Purchaser may make available to its agents, auditors, engineers, attorneys, and other designees as set forth in this Section 2.1(b).

(c)

Purchaser (i) at its expense, may cause an examination of title, the Surveys and Updated Surveys to the Properties to be made, (ii) promptly upon request provide the Sellers with copies of all title reports, Updated Surveys, environmental reports, engineering studies and any other third party generated Property-related due diligence data ordered by Purchaser, and (iii) prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, will notify Sellers of any defects in title and the Surveys or Updated Surveys, as the case may be, shown by such examination that Purchaser

is unwilling to accept. If such defects consist of mortgages, deeds of trust, mechanics’ liens, tax liens or other liens or charges in a fixed sum or capable of computation as a fixed sum (“Monetary Defects”) or results from anything done by any Seller after the Inspection Period End Date without Purchaser’s consent, Sellers will pay and discharge (in which event, the Escrow Agent is authorized to pay and discharge at Closing) all such obligations at or prior to Closing such that all such defects are removed; provided that if such defects relate to the Leasehold Properties Seller will only be required to pay and discharge such obligations as they relate to the leasehold interest. Within ten days after Purchaser so notifies Sellers, Sellers will notify Purchaser whether Sellers are willing to cure any defects that are not Monetary Defects. If the Sellers do not elect to cure such objectionable title and/or survey issues that are not Monetary Defects for any of the Properties transferred at the Primary Closing, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement. If Sellers do not elect to cure such objectionable title and/or survey issues that are not Monetary Defects for any of the Properties transferred at any Closing after the Primary Closing, the Purchaser may refuse to purchase such Properties, but may not terminate this Agreement. All title and survey exceptions other than those that are to be paid or cured as provided above, those first disclosed by the Title Company after the date of Purchaser’s title examination for a Property, and those objected to by Purchaser prior to the Inspection Period End Date will be deemed Permitted Title Exceptions. Further, any title exception which is waived by Purchaser will be a Permitted Title Exception.

(d)

During the Inspection Period, upon notice to Purchaser, the Selling Parties may update any of their respective Disclosure Schedules and the Development Pipeline information in Exhibit D; provided that Selling Parties deliver such updates and any related underlying documents to Purchaser during the Inspection Period; provided further, Purchaser will have not less than ten days to review such documents before the Inspection Period End Date. Prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, the Selling Parties and Purchaser will agree to the final forms of the Appendices, Exhibits and Schedules as the same may be amended pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(e)

All exhibits, schedules, agreements, certificates, the LodgeWorks Lease with SA L.P. and other documents required to be delivered pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement for which a form is not attached hereto will be reasonably satisfactory in form, scope and substance to Purchaser and the Selling Parties on or before ten days prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period.

2.2

Conveyance of Title. At Closing, Sellers will convey and transfer to Purchaser good and marketable fee simple title to the Real Property (other than the Leasehold Properties) and good and marketable leasehold title to the Leasehold Properties. Evidence of delivery of such marketable title will be the issuance to Purchaser or its designee at Closing of ALTA owner’s policies and leasehold policies of title insurance covering all of the Real Property in the aggregate amount of the Purchase Price allocated to the Properties subject only to the Permitted Title Exceptions in the forms reasonably required by Purchaser (collectively, the “Title Policies”).

2.3

Access. During the Inspection Period, the Selling Parties will, and will cause their officers, directors, employees, auditors and agents, to provide the Purchaser and its accountants, counsel, environmental consultants and other authorized representatives full access, during reasonable hours and under reasonable circumstances, to any and all of their premises, employees, officers, properties, Contracts, commitments, books, records and other information, and the Selling Parties will furnish to the Purchaser and its authorized representatives, promptly upon request therefor, any and all financial, technical and operating data and other information pertaining to the Assets and otherwise fully cooperate with the conduct of due diligence by the Purchaser and its representatives.

herein as “Notice Date”. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, as amended by the terms of this Section.

If the parties are unable to agree upon such an arbitrator, then the arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association and an arbitrator with the same qualifications will be selected under the Association’s procedure. The arbitrator will be asked to set the matter for hearing within 90 days after the appointment of the arbitrator and try any and all issues and to render a decision upon them. Except as expressly set forth in this Section 11.19, the arbitrator shall determine the manner in which the arbitration hearing is conducted, including the timing and presentation of evidence and argument, and all other questions that may arise with respect to the arbitration proceedings. The costs of the arbitration initially shall be borne equally by the parties, subject to any reallocation of such costs by the arbitrator in connection with subparagraph (g) below.

(c)

Discovery/Procedures. After the appointment of the arbitrator, the parties shall have the right to take depositions and to obtain discovery consistent with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure by other means regarding the subject matter of the arbitration as if the matter were pending in the U.S. District Court sitting in Wilmington, Delaware. The arbitrator may, for good cause shown, limit the nature and extent of such discovery and establish or modify the schedule relating to any discovery requests or applications relating thereto. The arbitrator shall have the power to decide all other procedural issues, including the following: the date, time and place of any hearing; the form, timing, and subject matter of any pre-hearing documents to be submitted by the parties; and any evidentiary or procedural issues that may arise at or in connection with any arbitration hearing.

Relief; Binding.

The arbitrator shall issue his decision to both parties through their respective counsel or representatives. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 11.19 and its subparagraphs, any award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final, and judgment may be entered by the Court under the provisions of the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.

The amount of the reduction of the Minimum Gross Operating Profit will be by the percentage set forth on the attached Schedule 7.1 as it relates to the applicable Hotel, which amount is calculated on Schedule 7.1. Provided, however, that if a Hotel is sold by Hyatt to an unaffiliated party in an arms-length transaction, the amount of the reduction of Minimum Gross Operating Profit will be calculated by multiplying a fraction, the numerator of which is the Gross Sales Price obtained by Hyatt for the sale of the Hotel,

the denominator of which is $589,128,000 times $42,000,000. For example, if the Napa hotel were taken out of service, the Minimum Gross Operating Profit would be reduced by 8.76% ($3,679,200) from $42,000,000 to $38,320,800, but if the Property were sold for $65,000,000, the amount of the Gross Operating Profit reduction would be $65,000,000 / $589,128,000 (11.03%) x $42,000,000 ($4,633,967).

Closing Statement. No later than the business day prior to the applicable Closing, the parties, through their respective employees, agents or representatives, jointly will make such examinations, audits and inventories of the Hotels. Based upon such examinations and audits, the parties jointly will prepare prior to each Closing a closing statement (the “Closing Statement”), which will set forth their best estimate of the amounts of the items to be adjusted and prorated under this Agreement. The Closing Statement will be approved and executed by the parties at such Closing, and such adjustments and prorations will be final with respect to the items set forth in the Closing Statement, except to the extent any such items will be reprorated after such Closing as expressly set forth in Appendix 8.1(e) below.

Real estate taxes, ad valorem taxes, personal property taxes, special assessments, sewer rents and taxes, and any other governmental tax or charge levied or assessed against the Assets (collectively, the “Property Taxes”), will be apportioned on the basis of the respective periods for which each is assessed or imposed. If the Closing Date will occur before an assessment is made or a tax rate is fixed for the tax period in which the Closing occurs, the apportionment of such Property Taxes will be calculated on the basis of the prior year’s Property Taxes; provided, however, that after the Closing, Seller and Purchaser will reprorate the Property Taxes and pay any deficiency in the original proration to the other party promptly upon receipt of the actual ▇▇▇▇ for the relevant taxable period.

The representations and warranties of the parties contained in this Agreement and any certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant hereto will survive the Closing through and including the 18 month anniversary of the applicable Closing Date (the “Survival Period”). The Survival Period will not extend past 18 months for any Asset. Any obligations to indemnify and hold harmless will not terminate with respect to any Losses as to which the Person to be indemnified will have given notice to the Indemnifying Party in accordance with Section 10.3 before the termination of the applicable Survival Period.

10.2

The Selling Parties’ Indemnification. Subject to Section 10.1, the Selling Parties hereby agree to indemnify and hold Purchaser and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, stockholders, members, partners, agents, attorneys, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against, and pay to the applicable Purchaser Indemnified Parties the amount of, any and all losses, liabilities, claims, obligations, deficiencies, demands, judgments, damages (including incidental and consequential damages), interest, fines, claims, suits, actions, causes of action, assessments, costs and expenses (including costs of investigation and defense and attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees), or any diminution in value, whether or not involving a third party claim (individually, a “Loss” and, collectively, “Losses”):

(a)

based upon, attributable to, or resulting from, the failure of any of the representations or warranties made by any Seller to be true and complete as of the date hereof; and

(b)

based upon, attributable to, or resulting from, the breach of any covenant or other agreement on the part of any Seller, LodgeWorks or Franchisor under this Agreement.

10.3	Indemnification Limitations.

(a)

The Selling Parties will have no obligation to indemnify the Purchaser until the Loss from all such claims exceeds a $250,000 deductible, determined on a per Property basis. LodgeWorks will have no obligation to indemnify the Purchaser until the Loss from all LodgeWorks related claims exceeds $250,000 deductible. Franchisor will have no obligation to indemnify the Purchaser until the Loss from all such claims exceeds $250,000 deductible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims against LodgeWorks, as manager of the Properties, will be allocated to the applicable Property’s deductible, and no Property will be eligible for more than one $250,000 deductible. The liability of the Selling Parties, collectively, to indemnify the Purchaser will not exceed the Holdback Escrow Amount. The Holdback Escrow Amount is Purchaser’s exclusive remedy for any indemnity claim.

(b)

The aggregate liability of the Purchaser to indemnify the Selling Parties for a breach of any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein, but excluding the indemnification under Section 2.1 and the liquidated damages in Section 11.3(b), may not exceed the Purchaser Liability Cap.

10.4	Indemnification Procedures.

(a)

A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a third party claim may be asserted by notice to the party or parties from whom indemnification is sought and the Escrow Agent, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreements and Section 11.19.

(b)

In the event of a legal proceeding or that any claim or demand is asserted by any third party in respect of which payment may be sought under Section 10.2 hereof (“Indemnification Claim”), the Purchaser Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties, as applicable (hereinafter, the “Indemnified Party”) will promptly cause written notice of the assertion of any Indemnification Claim of which it has knowledge which is covered by this indemnity to be forwarded to the Indemnifying Party or representative thereof (hereinafter, the “Indemnifying Party”) and, if the claim is against the Selling Parties, the Escrow Agent. The failure of the Indemnified Party to give reasonably prompt notice of any Indemnification Claim will not release, waive or otherwise affect the Indemnifying Party’s obligations with respect thereto except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party can demonstrate actual loss and prejudice as a result of such failure. The Indemnifying Party will have the right, at its sole expense, to be represented by counsel of its choice, which must be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Indemnification Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against by it hereunder. Provided however, that all Purchaser Indemnification Claims will be paid exclusively from the Holdback Escrow Amount and paid pursuant to the claims procedure set forth in the Escrow Agreements.

(c)

If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Indemnification Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against by it hereunder, it will within five days (or sooner, if the nature of the Indemnification Claim so requires) notify the Indemnified Party of its intent to do so. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Indemnification Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against by it hereunder, fails to notify the Indemnified Party of its election as herein provided or contests its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party for such Losses under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Indemnification Claim. If the Indemnified Party defends any Indemnification Claim, then the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party for the expenses of defending such Indemnification Claim upon submission of periodic bills. If the Indemnifying Party will assume the defense of any Indemnification Claim, the Indemnified Party may participate, at his or its own expense, in the defense of such

Indemnification Claim; provided, however, that such Indemnified Party will be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party if (i) so requested by the Indemnifying Party to participate or (ii) in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party that would make such separate representation advisable; and provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party will not be required to pay for more than one such counsel (plus any appropriate local counsel) for all Indemnified Parties in connection with any Indemnification Claim. For the avoidance of doubt, the Selling Parties costs of defense will not be paid from the Holdback Escrow Amount.

(d)

The Parties hereto agree to reasonably cooperate with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Indemnification Claim involving a third party. Notwithstanding anything in this Appendix 10.4 to the contrary, neither the Indemnifying Party nor the Indemnified Party will, without the written consent of the other party, settle or compromise any Indemnification Claim or permit a default or consent to entry of any judgment unless the claimant and such party provide to such other party an unqualified release from all liability in respect of the Indemnification Claim. If the Indemnifying Party makes any payment on any Indemnification Claim, the Indemnifying Party will be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to all rights and remedies of the Indemnified Party to any insurance benefits or other claims of the Indemnified Party with respect to such Indemnification Claim.

(e)

After any final decision, judgment or award will have been rendered by and the expiration of the time in which to appeal therefrom, or a settlement will have been consummated, or the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party will have arrived at a mutually binding agreement with respect to an Indemnification Claim hereunder, the Indemnified Party will forward to the Indemnifying Party notice of any sums due and owing by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such matter and the Indemnifying Party will be required to pay all of such remaining sums so due and owing to the Indemnified Party by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five business days after the date of such notice. Provided however, that for Purchaser Indemnified Claims the exclusive remedy is the Holdback Escrow Amount and the claims procedure set forth in the Escrow Agreements will govern the payment of Purchaser Indemnified Claims.
