Indemnification, with respect to claims resulting from the assertion of liability by those not parties to this Contract (including governmental claims for penalties, fines and assessments), shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(i) The party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give prompt written notice to the party or parties from which it is seeking indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any assertion of liability by a third party which might give rise to a claim for indemnification based on the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.8, which notice shall state the nature and basis of the assertion and the amount thereof, to the extent known; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in giving notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any obligation to indemnify unless (and then solely to the extent that) the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such delay.

(ii) If in any action, suit or proceeding (a “Legal Action”) the relief sought is solely the payment of money damages, and if the Indemnifying Party specifically agrees in writing to indemnify such Indemnified Party with respect thereto and demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of such Indemnified Party its financial ability to do so, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, commencing thirty (30) days after such notice, at its option, to elect to settle, compromise or defend, pursuant to this paragraph, by its own counsel and at its own expense, any such Legal Action involving such Indemnified Party’s asserted liability. If the Indemnifying Party does not undertake to settle, compromise or defend any such Legal Action, such settlement, compromise or defense shall be conducted in the sole discretion of such Indemnified Party, but such Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnifying Party with such information concerning such settlement, compromise or defense as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request from time to time. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to settle, compromise or defend any such asserted liability, it shall notify such Indemnified Party in writing of its intention to do so within thirty (30) days of notice from such Indemnified Party provided above.

(iii) Notwithstanding the provisions of the previous subsection of this Contract, until the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of the Legal Action, the defense shall be handled by the Indemnified Party. Furthermore, (x) if the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there are likely to be defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party; (y) if the Legal Action involves other than money damages and seeks injunctive or other equitable relief; or (z) if a judgment against Buyer, as the Indemnified Party, in the Legal Action will, in the good faith opinion of Buyer, establish a custom or precedent which will be adverse to the best interest of the continuing business of the Hotel, the Indemnifying Party, shall not be entitled to assume the defense of the Legal Action and the defense shall be handled by the Indemnified Party, provided that, in the case of clause (z), the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to approve legal counsel selected by the Indemnified Party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. If the defense of the Legal Action is handled by the Indemnified Party under the provisions of this subsection, the Indemnifying Party shall pay all legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Party in conducting such defense.

(iv) In any Legal Action initiated by a third party and defended by the Indemnified Party (w) the Indemnified Party shall have the right to be represented by advisory counsel and accountants, at its own expense, (x) the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party fully informed as to the status of such Legal Action at all stages thereof, whether or not the Indemnified Party is represented by its own counsel, (y) the Indemnifying Party shall make available to the Indemnified Party and its attorneys, accounts and other representatives, all books and records of Seller relating to such Legal Action and (z) the parties shall render to each other such assistance as may be reasonably required in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of such Legal Action.

(v) In any Legal Action initiated by a third party and defended by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not make settlement of any claim

without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it shall not be deemed unreasonable to withhold consent to a settlement involving injunctive or other equitable relief against Buyer or its respective assets, employees, Affiliates or business, or relief which Buyer reasonably believes could establish a custom or precedent which will be adverse to the best interests of its continuing business.

8.9 Escrow Funds. To provide for the timely payment of any post-closing claims by Buyer against Seller hereunder, at Closing, Seller shall deposit an amount equal to One Hundred Twenty-five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($125,000.00) (the “Escrow Funds”) which shall be withheld from the Purchase Price payable to Seller and shall be deposited for a period of nine (9) months in an escrow account with the Title Company pursuant to an escrow agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Buyer and Seller (the “Post-Closing Agreement”), which escrow and Post-Closing Agreement shall be established and entered into at Closing and shall be a condition to Buyer’s obligations under this Contract. If no claims have been asserted by Buyer against Seller, or all such claims have been satisfied, within such 9-month period, the Escrow Funds deposited by Seller shall be released to Seller.

8.10 Liquor Licenses. If permitted under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Hotel is located, the Manager shall execute and file any and all necessary forms, applications and other documents (and Seller shall cooperate with the Manager in filing such forms, applications and other documents) with the appropriate liquor and alcoholic beverage authorities prior to Closing so that the Liquor Licenses remain in full force and effect upon completion of Closing. Seller shall, if not prohibited by applicable law, allow Buyer or Manager to use Seller’s Liquor Licenses until Buyer or Manager obtains its own. In such event, Buyer shall indemnify Seller for any damages or claims related to Buyer’s or Manager’s use of the Liquor Licenses and Seller shall have the right to offset any amounts owed Seller for such damages or claims from the Escrowed Funds.

(b) Utilities. All suppliers of utilities shall be instructed to read meters or otherwise determine the charges owing as of the day before the Closing Date for services prior thereto, which charges shall be allocated to Seller.

(d) Accounts. All working capital accounts, reserve accounts and escrow accounts (including all FF&E accounts, all PIP accounts, Franchisor escrows, but excluding amounts held in tax and insurance escrow accounts and utility deposits to the extent excluded from the definition of Deposits) shall become the property of Buyer but Seller shall receive a credit therefor at Closing.

CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION

13.1 Risk of Loss; Notice. Prior to Closing and the delivery of possession of the Property to Buyer in accordance with this Contract, all risk of loss to the Property (whether by casualty, condemnation or otherwise) shall be borne by Seller. In the event that (a) any loss or damage to the Hotel shall occur prior to the Closing Date as a result of fire or other casualty, or (b) Seller receives notice that a governmental authority has initiated or threatened to initiate a condemnation proceeding affecting the Hotel, Seller shall give Buyer immediate written notice of such loss, damage or condemnation proceeding (which notice shall include a certification of (i) the amounts of insurance coverages in effect with respect to the loss or damage and (ii) if known, the amount of the award to be received in such condemnation).

13.2 Buyer’s Termination Right. If, prior to Closing and the delivery of possession of the Property to Buyer in accordance with this Contract, (a) any condemnation proceeding shall be pending against a substantial portion of the Hotel or (b) there is any substantial casualty loss or damage to the Hotel, Buyer shall have the option to terminate this Contract, provided Buyer delivers written notice to Seller of its election within twenty (20) days after the date Seller has delivered Buyer written notice of any such loss, damage or condemnation as provided above, and in such event, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money Deposit, and any interest thereon, shall be delivered to Buyer and thereafter, except as expressly set forth herein, no party shall have any further obligation or liability to the other under this Contract. In the context of condemnation, “substantial” shall mean condemnation of such portion of a Hotel (or access thereto) as could, in Buyer’s reasonable judgment, render use of the remainder impractical or unfeasible for the uses herein contemplated, and, in the context of casualty loss or damage, “substantial” shall mean a loss or damage in excess of Two Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($200,000.00) in value.

13.3 Procedure for Closing. If Buyer shall not timely elect to terminate this Contract under Section 13.2 above, or if the loss, damage or condemnation is not substantial, Seller agrees to pay to Buyer at the Closing all insurance proceeds or condemnation awards which Seller has received as a result of the same, plus an amount equal to the insurance deductible, and assign to Buyer all insurance proceeds and condemnation awards payable as a result of the same, in which event the Closing shall occur without Seller replacing or repairing such damage.

ARTICLE XIV

DEFAULT REMEDIES

4.1 Buyer Default. If Buyer defaults under this Contract after the Review Period, and such default continues for thirty (30) days following written notice from Seller (provided no notice shall extend the time for Closing), then at Seller’s election by written notice to Buyer, this Contract shall be terminated and of no effect, in which event the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money Deposit, including any interest thereon, shall be paid to and retained by the Seller as Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy hereunder, and as liquidated damages for Buyer’s default or failure to close, and both Buyer and Seller shall thereupon be released from all obligations hereunder.

14.2 Seller Default. If Seller defaults under this Contract, and such default continues for thirty (30) days following written notice from Buyer, Buyer may elect, as Buyer’s sole and

exclusive remedy, either (i) to terminate this Contract by written notice to Seller delivered to that Seller at any time prior to the completion of such cure, in which event the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money Deposit, including any interest thereon, shall be returned to the Buyer, together with an amount to compensate Buyer for its actual out of pocket diligence costs and expenses (not to exceed $15,000) and thereafter both the Buyer and Seller shall thereupon be released from all obligations with respect to this Contract, except as otherwise expressly provided herein; or (ii) to treat this Contract as being in full force and effect by written notice to Seller delivered to Seller at any time prior to the completion of such cure, in which event the Buyer shall have the right to an action against the defaulting Seller for damages and/or specific performance.

14.3 Attorney’s Fees. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, if it shall be necessary for either the Buyer or Seller to employ an attorney to enforce its rights pursuant to this Contract because of the default of the other party, and the non-defaulting party is successful in enforcing such rights, then the defaulting party shall reimburse the non-defaulting party for the non-defaulting party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses.
