Seller shall remove from the Property all Excluded Property prior to Closing at Seller’s sole cost and expense and in accordance with all applicable legal and insurance requirements and shall promptly repair any damage caused by such removal.

2. Purchase Price. The aggregate purchase price for the Property (the “Purchase Price”) is Three Hundred Sixty-Two Million Three Hundred Fifteen Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($362,315,000.00), subject to adjustment as provided herein.

(a) The Purchase Price shall be paid by Purchaser as follows:

(i) Upon the execution of this Agreement by Purchaser and Seller, Purchaser shall deliver to First American Title Insurance Company (in such capacity, the “Escrow Agent”) Ten Million and No/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00) (the “Deposit”) in immediately available funds by a wire transfer to the Escrow Account; and

(ii) The Deposit shall be held by Escrow Agent in a segregated interest-bearing account (of the type required pursuant to Section 13(h)) with a commercial bank reasonably approved by Seller and Purchaser (the “Escrow Account”). In the event that the Closing does not occur by the Closing Date, interest on the Deposit shall be paid to the party entitled to receive the Deposit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event that the Closing does occur, interest on the Deposit shall be paid to Seller and credited against the Purchase Price payable by Purchaser. Any taxes due on such interest income shall be the sole responsibility of the party receiving such interest. Each of Purchaser and Seller will provide to Escrow Agent a Form W-9 for the reporting of any such interest income.

(iii) At the Closing, Purchaser shall deposit with Escrow Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds (made in accordance with the wiring instructions set forth on Exhibit 2.1(b)(i) attached hereto), the Balance of the Purchase Price plus the amount of any sales tax for which Purchaser is liable under Section 8.4. “Balance of the Purchase Price” means the amount equal to the Purchase Price, as adjusted for the prorations provided for in this Agreement, minus the Deposit and any interest accrued thereon.

(iv) The Purchase Price shall be paid without any deduction for withholding tax, provided Seller delivers the documents listed in Sections 8.2(i) and 8.2(p).

(b) Allocation of Purchase Price.

(i) Within seven (7) days after the date hereof, Purchaser shall provide Seller with a proposed allocation (the “Allocation”) of the consideration paid for the Property among the acquired assets for federal income tax purposes. Seller shall have seven (7) days after receiving the proposed Allocation from Purchaser to accept such Allocation or provide a written explanation of the reasons for Seller’s disagreement with such proposed Allocation (“Seller’s Letter”). Upon Purchaser’s receipt of Seller’s Letter, Seller and Purchaser shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to resolve their disagreements regarding the Allocation. If Seller and Purchaser are unable to resolve their disagreements within ten (10) days after Purchaser’s receipt of Seller’s Letter, then each party shall, upon notice to the other, be entitled to utilize its own proposed allocation. Seller and Purchaser shall also agree upon a revised Allocation (the “Revised Allocation”) reflecting any adjustments to the consideration for the Property occurring after the determination of the Allocation, using the same procedures set forth in this section for determining the Allocation, or, if no such agreement is reached, each party shall be entitiled to utilize its proposed allocation.

(ii) If the Allocations are agreed upon between Seller and Purchaser, then (I) Seller, Purchaser and each of their Affiliates shall (x) be bound by the Allocation or Revised Allocation, as applicable, for all relevant tax purposes, (y) prepare and file all tax returns in a manner consistent with such allocation and (z) take no position inconsistent with such allocation in any tax return or any related proceeding before any taxing authority, and (II) in the event that the allocation reported to a taxing authority by either party or any of their Affiliates is disputed by such taxing authority, the party receiving notice of such dispute shall promptly notify the other party and keep the other party apprised of material developments concerning resolution of such dispute.

(iii) Either party hereto may report this transaction as a sale of a trade or business under Section 1060 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as amended, supplemented or modified through the Execution Date, the “Code”) by filing Internal Revenue Code Form 8594 so long as prior to making such filing such party has noticed the other party hereto in writing.

3. Title and Survey Matters.

3.1 Update of Title. Prior to the date hereof (the “Execution Date”), Seller has provided Purchaser with a copy of the existing survey (the “Existing Survey”) of the Real Property and the existing title insurance policy for the Real Property (the “Existing Title Policy”). Purchaser, at its sole cost and expense, will obtain a title report for the Property and a pro forma owner’s policy of title insurance for the Property, including, without limitation, copies of all documents referenced therein (the “Title Commitment”), in the amount of the Purchase Price, issued by First American Title Insurance Company (“FATCO”), as the lead title insurer on behalf of itself and the syndicate determined by Purchaser in its sole discretion (provided that Purchaser agrees to include in the syndicate at least $100,000,000 of coverage to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Title Insurance Company by and through Kensington Vanguard National Land Services) (FATCO, in such capacity, the “Title Company”). The cost of ordering the Title Commitment and obtaining a Title Policy or any endorsements thereto shall be borne entirely by Purchaser (subject, however, to the provisions of Section 10.3).

3.2 Approval of Title and Existing Survey.

(a) As used herein, the term “Permitted Exceptions” with regard to the Real Property means: (i) all exceptions, exclusions and other matters shown in the Existing Title Policy, excluding any exceptions related to a Seller Encumbrance; (ii) all exceptions, exclusions and other matters shown on Schedule B-2 of the Title Commitment, other than matters constituting Seller Encumbrances; (iii) any exceptions, exclusions and other matters waived in writing by Purchaser or deemed waived by Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof; (iv) all title matters reflecting the existence or terms of the Leases; (v) liens for real estate taxes that are not yet due and payable and that are apportioned as provided in Section 8.4, including, without limitation, special assessments and special improvement district or local improvement district bonds; (vi) any and all present and future laws, ordinances, restrictions, requirements, resolutions, orders, rules and regulations of any governmental authority, as now or hereafter existing or enforced (including, without limitation, those related to zoning and land use), and all notes or notices of violation of any such laws, ordinances, rules or regulations to the extent same are set forth in the Departmental Searches or in the Title Commitment or in any title reports, commitments or updates delivered to Purchaser prior to the Execution Date; (vii) any judgment or mechanics’ or suppliers’ liens that are the obligation of a Tenant to discharge pursuant to the provisions of any Lease; (viii) such other exceptions as Title Company shall commit to insure over in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, without any additional cost to Purchaser; (ix) any other matters affecting title to the Property that have been approved or accepted by Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof and (x) all matters, whether or not of record, to the extent caused by Purchaser or its agents, representatives or contractors. As used herein, the term “Seller Encumbrance” shall mean (1) any mortgage or deed of trust (and related ancillary security instruments) or other monetary lien voluntarily granted or expressly assumed by Seller and encumbering the Property (but not any liens that are the obligation of any Tenant under any Lease to discharge), (2) any documents relating to the Hotel Management Agreement (including, without limitation, any recorded non-disturbance agreement or memorandum of the Hotel Management Agreement) or (3) any and all judgments or mechanics’ or suppliers’ or tax liens encumbering the Property or any lis pendens. In any event, Seller

Encumbrances must be satisfied, discharged or removed by Seller (or, as to any tax lien or lis pendens, bonded or otherwise removed as a lien on the Property) on or prior to the Closing Date or, if not so satisfied, bonded or removed prior to or on Closing, shall be satisfied at Closing out of the proceeds otherwise payable to Seller. For the avoidance of doubt, any Seller Encumbrances relating to the Hotel Management Agreement (including, without limitation, any recorded non-disturbance agreement or memorandum of the Hotel Management Agreement) must be satisfied, discharged or removed by Seller at or prior to Closing notwithstanding the execution by Purchaser and Hotel Manager of the Interim Jumeriah Agreement, if applicable.

(b) If Seller involuntarily suffers title to the Real Property to become encumbered by any matter (including, without limitation, an attachment or any other defect, objection or exception or issue raised by any update of the Existing Survey) other than a Permitted Exception, and Seller does not remove or cure any such matter on or prior to the Closing Date to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser, then Purchaser shall have the option, exercisable by written notice delivered to Seller, of either (y) waiving any such defects, objections or exception and accepting title to the Property subject to such matter(s), in which event Purchaser shall proceed to Closing or (z) terminating this Agreement, in which event the Deposit will immediately be returned to Purchaser, and thereupon Purchaser and Seller will have no further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, except as otherwise stated herein; provided, however, that (i) the foregoing shall not apply to Seller Encumbrances, which shall be governed by Section 3.2(a), and (ii) Seller shall nonetheless use commercially reasonable efforts to remove any title matters covered by this Section 3.2(b).

3.3 Title Insurance. It shall be a condition to Purchaser’s obligations hereunder that Title Company shall have issued or shall have committed to issue, upon payment of the applicable premium therefor, a 2006 ALTA Extended Coverage Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (the “Title Policy”) with the standard form New York endorsements for purchase of condominium units and waiver of arbitration, in the amount equal to the Purchase Price for the Real Property (with separate policies being issued, at Purchaser’s election, for separate components of the Condominium Units), insuring that title to the Real Property is vested in Purchaser subject only to the Permitted Exceptions. If Purchaser desires to procure any special coverages or any endorsements (or amendments) to the Title Policy not identified above, it may do so at its own cost and expense, provided that (a) such additional coverages shall be at no cost or additional liability to Seller other than the provision of such affidavits, agreements or certificates customarily provided by sellers of similar properties in Manhattan, (b) Purchaser’s obligations hereunder shall not be conditioned upon Purchaser’s ability to obtain such additional coverages, (c) if Purchaser is unable to obtain such additional coverages with respect to the Property, Purchaser shall nevertheless be obligated to proceed to the Closing without reduction of or set off against the Purchase Price and (d) the Closing shall not be delayed as a result of Purchaser’s efforts to obtain such additional coverages.

4. Inspection; Covenants.

4.1 Access.

(a) Subject to the following sentence, Purchaser and its Affiliates, agents, contractors, or representatives shall have (collectively, the “Purchaser Access Parties” and, individually, a “Purchaser Access Party”) shall have, and Seller shall provide, physical access to the Real Property for purposes of (i) inspection, investigation and/or testing of the Real Property, (ii) interviewing any Bargaining Unit Employees or a Non-Bargaining Unit Employees pursuant to Section 11.1 hereof, and (iii) review of such materials and information relating to the Real Property (excluding projections and analyses relating to the operation of the Real Property) which are located at the Real Property and not reasonably able to be posted to the data site maintained by Broker (the “Data Site”), in each case as Purchaser deems necessary or appropriate, but subject to Seller’s right to redact any such materials or information to the extent reasonably necessary in order to preserve the confidentiality of information not relating to the Real Property (provided a general description of the redacted information sufficient to confirm that it does not relate to the Real Property is provided to Purchaser). No Purchaser Access Party shall conduct any such inspection, investigation, testing or review in a manner that will unreasonably interfere with the use or operation of the Real Property by any occupant or guest thereof. If any Purchaser Access Party desires access to the Real Property for purposes of inspection, investigation, testing and/or review, Purchaser shall

provide Seller with reasonable prior notice thereof, which notice shall include the date and time of such proposed access, the scope of such access (including any invasive testing proposed to be done), and the anticipated duration of such access. Any inspection, investigation, testing and/or review shall be at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense and Purchaser shall not conduct any invasive testing or phase II environmental surveys without Seller’s prior written consent. Purchaser shall promptly restore, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, any physical damage to the Property caused by any such inspection, investigation, testing and/or review of the Real Property.

(i) Purchaser agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold Seller, Hotel Manager and their respective Affiliates harmless from any loss, injury, damage, claim, lien, cost or expense, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs (collectively, “Losses”), arising out of or in connection with the exercise or performance by the Purchaser Access Parties during the term of this Agreement of any of their respective rights or obligations under Section 4.1(a). In no event shall Purchaser be liable hereunder for Losses (1) to the extent arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of Seller or its Affiliates, agents, contractors, representatives or employees, (2) resulting from Seller’s or Hotel Manager’s compliance (or non-compliance) with Environmental Requirements or any remedy of Hazardous Materials or any environmental condition resulting from such compliance (or non-compliance) or (3) resulting from the discovery or observation of pre-existing environmental or physical conditions at the Real Property or any impact of the use of the Real Property or the value of the Real Property from or as result of such discovery or observation. For purposes of this Agreement, (A) “Environmental Requirements” means all laws, ordinances, statutes, codes, rules, regulations, agreements, judgments, orders and decrees now or hereafter enacted, promulgated, or amended, of the United States, the states, the counties, the cities or any other political subdivisions in which the Real Property is located and any other political subdivision, agency or instrumentality exercising jurisdiction over Seller, the Real Property or the use of the Real Property relating to pollution, the protection or regulation of human health, natural resources or the environment, or the emission, discharge, release or threatened release of pollutants, contaminants, chemicals or industrial, toxic or hazardous substances or waste or Hazardous Materials into the environment (including, without limitation, ambient air, surface water, ground water or land or soil) and (B) “Hazardous Materials” means any substance which is or contains: (1) any “hazardous substance” as now or hereafter defined in Section 101(14) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (42 U.S.C.

(ii) Prior to any entry on the Real Property by any Purchaser Access Party, Purchaser shall cause the activities of such Purchaser Access Party on and about the Real Property to be covered by comprehensive general liability insurance for Purchaser and each of the other Purchaser Access Parties entering onto the Real Property insuring all activity and conduct of each Purchaser Access Party while exercising such right of access. Such insurance shall have limits of not less than $2,000,000.00 per occurrence for bodily injury to any one person and property damage, and $4,000,000.00 in the aggregate. Seller and Hotel Manager shall be named as

additional insureds on all policies and such policies shall be considered primary insurance without recourse to or contribution from any similar insurance carried by Seller. Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a certificate evidencing the existence of the foregoing insurance coverage prior to any entry on the Real Property by any Purchaser Access Party, and Purchaser shall keep such insurance in effect for at least one (1) year following the last date that any Purchaser Access Party enters the Real Property prior to the Closing Date. All insurance certificates shall contain the standard ▇▇▇▇▇ provision concerning cancellation or material change of the coverage afforded under the policies evidenced by such certificates. All liability insurance required to be carried by Purchaser shall contain broad form contractual liability insurance coverage insuring Purchaser’s insurable indemnity obligations to Seller as provided for in Section 4.1(a)(i).

(b) Seller has, prior to the date hereof and subject to the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement effective as of March 30, 2012 (as modified by the terms of the Access and Exclusivity Agreement, the “Confidentiality Agreement”), provided to Purchaser by way of posting to the Data Site maintained by ▇▇▇▇▇ Lang LaSalle Hotels (“Broker”), or by way of making such items available for review at the Real Property or offices of the Board, certain due diligence items. Additionally, Seller and Purchaser have entered into an Inspection Agreement of even date herewith (the “Inspection Agreement”) pursuant to which Seller has disclosed to Purchaser certain facts regarding the Property. All due diligence items provided to Purchaser or disclosed in the Inspection Agreement are referred to collectively as the “Inspection Records”. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Seller may redact the Inspection Records to the extent reasonably necessary in order to preserve the confidentiality of information not relating to the Property (but with a general description of the redacted information sufficient to confirm that it does not relate to the Property). If additional Inspection Records are requested, they may be examined at all reasonable times during normal business hours upon prior reasonable notice to Seller and may be photocopied by Purchaser at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or in any other document contemplated by Section 8.2, Seller does not make any representations or warranties as to the content or accuracy of any Inspection Records.

(c) In the event the Closing does not occur for any reason, Purchaser shall handle the Inspection Records in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall be deemed to continue for a period of three hundred sixty-five (365) days notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained therein.

4.2 Liquor License. Seller and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate in obtaining the transfer of the existing liquor license (or liquor licenses) or the issuance of a new liquor license(s) (such transferred or new liquor licenses, the “Liquor License”) for the Hotel-Related Units.

Such Interim Agreement shall, among other things, provide that all expenses and liabilities

associated with liquor related operations in the Hotel-Related Units shall be borne solely by Purchaser, Purchaser shall carry “dram shop” and other customary insurance reasonably acceptable to Seller and such Manager, and Purchaser shall indemnify Seller and such Manager for any and all losses, costs, expenses, claims, demands, and other liabilities arising from Purchaser’s or its designee’s liquor related operations in the Hotel-Related Units. Promptly following the Closing, Purchaser shall or shall cause Purchaser’s operator to file an application with the New York State Liquor Authority (the “SLA”) for the transfer of, or issuance of a new Liquor License for the Hotel-Related Units. Seller shall reasonably cooperate, with all out of pocket costs incurred by Seller reimbursed promptly by Purchaser, with Purchaser’s efforts to obtain such transfer of, or issuance of a new, Liquor License for the Hotel-Related Units (including, without limitation, by executing all documents required by the SLA or by any other governmental authority in connection therewith). Seller’s obligations under this Section 4.2 shall survive the Closing.

4.3 Activities Prior to Closing.

(ii) Purchaser agrees to assume the Property Contracts, subject to the provisions set forth herein. Purchaser shall notify Seller at least ten (10) Business Days prior Closing as to which Property Contracts Purchaser wishes Seller (or Hotel Manager on behalf of Seller) to terminate in accordance with their terms (each such contracts, a “Terminable Contract”).

Seller may enter into any Property Contract (new and amendments) after the date hereof (x) in the ordinary course of business and provided such Property Contract is terminable without penalty or payment of a fee on no more than thirty (30) days’ notice or (y) with the prior written consent of Purchaser in accordance with Section 4.3(c).

(b) At all times prior to the Closing, Seller shall continue to (i) operate the Hotel-Related Units in a prudent manner, substantially consistent with past practice using its reasonable efforts to preserve intact the goodwill of the Hotel-Related Units with its existing clientele, subject to Seller’s obligations under Section 4.3(i), (ii) maintain the Property in its existing condition and state of repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted, subject to the occurrence of any casualty and condemnation, (iii) replenish and maintain Personal Property and any other consumables, inventory, operating supplies and equipment necessary to operate the Hotel-Related Units in a manner consistent with past practices and maintain substantially the same levels of consumables, operating supplies, inventory and furniture, fixtures and equipment as in existence at the Property on the Execution Date; provided Seller shall have no obligation to replenish branded materials, and (iv) maintain insurance with respect to the Hotel-Related Units with the coverages as set forth in the existing insurance policies covering the Hotel-Related Units, provided, however, that a breach of this clause (iv) shall have no consequence unless a casualty occurs prior to Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement.

(c) When Purchaser’s consent is required pursuant to Section 4.3(a) or Section 4.3(g), Purchaser shall have ten (10) Business Days after receipt from Seller of a written request for consent to proposed Property Contracts (new and amendments) within which to grant or withhold consent, which consent may be given or withheld in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion. If Purchaser fails or refuses to act within such ten (10) Business Day period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have withheld its consent; provided, that Purchaser shall be deemed to have granted such consent after failing or refusing to act within such ten (10) Business Day period if such new or amended Property Contract is terminable without charge or penalty upon sale or on thirty (30) days’ or less notice.

(d) Seller shall not sell, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise transfer or dispose of all or any part of the Property or any interest therein at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Closing Date, other than (i) with respect to replacement of depleted Personal Property and the expiration of Property Contracts in the ordinary course of business or upon termination in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (ii) reservations of transient guests of the Hotel-Related Units in the Premises in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (iii) Permitted Exceptions and (iv) the maintenance of the liens or assignments as required by any existing mortgage and mezzanine financing with respect to the Property which exist on the Execution Date (and all of which shall be terminated as of the Closing unless Purchaser has elected to have Seller’s lender(s) assign such liens or assignments to Purchaser’s lender or lenders pursuant to Section 4.3(j) below).

(f) During the period prior to Closing and for the six (6) month period after Closing, the parties agree to reasonably cooperate and also to consult on a regular basis and coordinate their activities, including, without limitation, those relating to employee matters, Bookings and Reservations, and changing the branding of the Condominium Units so as to facilitate a smooth transition of the operations of the Condominium Units and the continued proper performance by the employees of the Condominium Units of their respective duties up to Closing. To the extent Purchaser requests that any executive or managerial-level employees of the Hotel Manager remain at the Property to assist with the transition during the twenty-four (24) hour periods immediately prior to and immediately following the Cut-Off Time, Purchaser shall arrange for each such employee to be lodged in the Hotel-Related Units on a complimentary basis with complimentary food and beverage (excluding alcoholic beverages) and laundry services. Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser to effectuate the transfer of all Intangible Property, Hotel Unit IP, Books and Records and such other data with respect to past, present and future guests of the Hotel-Related Units in the possession of Seller or any of Seller’s Affiliates as may be reasonably necessary in order to permit Purchaser to honor Bookings and Reservations in place as of the Closing with respect to the period from and after Closing.

Seller shall (A) exercise all rights and comply with all obligations under the Condominium Declaration in substantially the same manner as it generally did prior to the date hereof; (B) forward copies of all correspondence, email and other documents received by any governmental agency including, but not limited to, the Office of the Attorney General of the State of New York (the “OAG”); and (C) make available to Purchaser at the Condominium Board’s office all minutes of Condominium Board meetings held after the execution of this Agreement provided Purchaser shall have no right to copy or retain such minutes.

(h) Seller shall expeditiously, after the mutual execution and delivery of this Agreement, and at Seller’s sole cost and expense, request a “no-action letter” from the OAG stating that the OAG shall take no action and not require the filing of an offering plan or an amendment to the 2006 Plan, with respect to the transactions contemplated herein (the “No-Action Application”).

(ii) Purchaser’s counsel, at the sole cost and expense of Purchaser, shall prepare the documentation for such assignment, except to the extent that the Existing Lender requires that its counsel prepare such documentation (in which event Purchaser shall reimburse such Existing Lender upon request the cost of such preparation) and Purchaser shall be responsible for any expense which the Existing Lender incurs, and seeks to recover from Seller, arising from the preparation or review of mortgage assignment documentation.

Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed under Section 5.1(b) unless, within fifteen (15) days from receipt by Purchaser of written notice of such casualty from Seller accompanied by Seller’s repair estimate and evidence of the insurance coverages maintained by Seller and written confirmation from the insurer of the amount of insurance proceeds which the insurer has determined is available under the policy in respect of such casualty, Purchaser provides Seller with written notice that Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.1(a).

(b) proceed to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed under Section 5.2(b) unless, within fifteen (15) days of receipt by Purchaser of written notice from Seller of the condemnation or condemnation proceedings, Purchaser provides Seller with written notice that Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.2(a).

(vii) Seller and its Affiliates are in material compliance with all laws, material agreements, contracts, and policies respecting employment and employment practices with respect to employees of Seller or its Affiliates who work at the Hotel-Related Units except for any non-compliance that would not be reasonably likely to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

Seller has duly and timely withheld and remitted or paid all sales, use, excise, gross receipts, payroll, occupancy and similar taxes required to have been withheld and remitted or paid in connection with the operation of the hotel business to the extent that failure to withhold and remit or pay such taxes would result in Purchaser being liable for such taxes or would give rise to a lien on the Property.

(b) Prorations. The following shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser as of the Cut-Off Time:

(i) All real estate taxes, water or sewer charges and general or special assessments on the Real Property, or any other governmental tax or charge levied or assessed against the Property. If the Closing shall occur before the actual amounts payable are known, then apportionment shall be based on the most recently ascertainable tax rates and assessed value of the Property. Seller shall be responsible for all such taxes that are allocable to any period prior to the Closing Date and Purchaser shall be responsible for all such taxes allocable to any period from and after the Closing Date. If any taxes or assessments relating to the period prior to the Closing are paid in installments, then Seller shall pay on or before the Closing Date any remaining installments with respect to such taxes or assessments that are allocable to any period prior to the Closing Date. Seller and Purchaser agree that to the extent the actual taxes for the current year differ from the amount so apportioned at Closing, the parties hereto will within thirty (30) days after receipt of a request from Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, make all necessary adjustments by appropriate payments between themselves promptly following the Closing. At Closing, Seller shall transfer to Purchaser control of all pending real estate tax certiorari proceedings which would or could affect post-Closing periods. After Closing, Purchaser shall pay over to Seller any sums realized through such certiorari proceedings which are allocable to periods prior to Closing (after recovery of a reasonable allocation of the legal expense and other costs incurred in realizing such sums).

(ii) All rent for the month in which the Closing occurs with respect to the Leases shall be prorated at Closing. There shall be no credit for delinquent rent, which shall be paid over by Purchaser to Seller if collected by Purchaser after the Closing.

(iv) Seller shall perform, or cause to be performed, an accounting of cash on hand at the Property (i.e., in-house banks and ▇▇▇▇▇ cash, including till money, and, to the extent same are the property of Seller, vending machines and pay telephones) in the presence of a representative of Purchaser and Purchaser shall retain such amounts and Seller shall be credited with a like amount at Closing.

(v) All tour and travel agent commissions paid prior to Closing by Seller in respect of Bookings relating to a period after the Closing shall be credited to Seller at Closing. All advance deposits received by Seller prior to Closing in respect of Bookings relating to a period after the Closing shall be credited to Purchaser at Closing. Purchaser shall have no obligation to honor any reward stays occurring after Closing and accordingly Purchaser shall receive no credit for any such reward stay it elects to honor after Closing.

(vi) All accrued compensation (including without limitation, accrued severance and vacation benefits and any other benefits) payable to Transferred Employees and Bargaining Unit Employees (including, without limitation, compensation and benefits provided for under the Union Contract with respect to employees covered by the Union Contract) and any applicable employment and withholding taxes of such employees, attributable to the period prior to Closing, shall be credited to Purchaser.

(vii) To the extent that with respect to electricity, telephone, television, gas, water and sewer services which are metered and other utilities, Seller shall use reasonable efforts to have the respective companies providing such utilities read the meters on or immediately prior to the Cut-Off Time. Seller shall be responsible for all charges based on such final meter readings and Purchaser shall be responsible for all charges thereafter. To the extent such meters are not read and final bills rendered as of the Cut-Off Time, such charges with respect to the Property shall be prorated effective as of the Cut-Off Time utilizing an estimate of such charges reasonably approved by both Purchaser and Seller based on prior utility bills, unless Seller elects to close its own applicable account as of the Cut-Off Time, in which event Purchaser shall open its own account as of the Closing Date and the respective charges shall not be prorated, and, if Seller does not close its own applicable account, any deposits or credits with respect to the foregoing services will be credited to Seller if Purchaser receives full credit therefor from the utility. Upon the taking of a subsequent actual reading, such apportionment shall be adjusted to reflect the actual rate for the billing period in which the date of Closing falls, and Seller, or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall promptly deliver to the other the amount determined to be due upon such adjustment.

(viii) Seller shall be responsible for all condominium charges, including without limitation Common Charges and Special Assessments, if any (as such terms are defined in the Condominium Documents) and such other charges as may be due under the Condominium Documents (collectively, the “Condominium Charges”), in respect of the Essex House Condominium that are allocable to any period prior to the Closing Date and Purchaser shall be

responsible for all such Condominium Charges allocable to any period from and after the Closing Date. If any such Condominium Charges relating to the period prior to the Closing are paid in installments, then Seller shall pay on or before the Closing Date any remaining installments with respect to such Condominium Charges that are allocable to any period prior to the Closing Date and same shall be adjusted between Seller and Purchaser as of the Cut-Off Time. Seller and Purchaser agree that to the extent the actual Condominium Charges differ from the amount so apportioned at Closing, the parties hereto will within thirty (30) days after receipt of a request from Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, make all necessary adjustments by appropriate payments between themselves promptly following the Closing.

(ix) As of the date hereof the balance of the FF&E reserve held for Seller’s benefit for the Hotel-Related Units is $7,065,390.25 (the “FF&E Balance”). At Closing, Purchaser shall receive a credit in an amount equal to the FF&E Balance on the date hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, between the date hereof through and including the Closing Date, Seller may use any portion of the FF&E Balance or increase the FF&E Balance; provided, however, (x) no increase in the FF&E Balance over the FF&E Balance on the date hereof shall be credited to Purchaser at Closing and (y) no reduction in the FF&E Balance below the FF&E Balance on the date hereof shall result in a credit to Purchaser at Closing of less than the FF&E Balance on the date hereof.

Representatives of Seller and Purchaser shall make such inventories, examinations and audits of Seller, and of the books and records of Seller, as may be necessary to make the adjustments and prorations required under this Agreement. Prior to Closing, representatives of Purchaser and Seller shall jointly prepare a statement (the “Preliminary Closing Statement”) based upon such preliminary inventories, audits and examinations which will show the net amount due to Seller or Purchaser as the result thereof, and that net amount will be added to, or deducted from, the Purchase Price. Within ninety (90) days following the Closing, representatives of Purchaser and Seller shall prepare a revised statement (the “Final Closing Statement”, and together with the Preliminary Closing Statement, collectively, the “Closing Statements”) setting forth the final determination of all items to be included in the Closing Statements, and any necessary payment shall be made within thirty (30) days after completion of such Final Closing Statement. Any item which cannot be finally prorated because of the unavailability of information shall be tentatively prorated on the basis of the best data then available and re-prorated when the information is available. The provisions of this Section 8.4 shall survive the Closing for a period of twelve (12) months and shall not be deemed merged into any instrument of conveyance delivered at the Closing.

Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the purpose and intent of the provisions set forth in this Section 8.4 and elsewhere in this Agreement as to prorations and apportionments is that Seller shall bear all expenses of the ownership and operation of the Property (for which buyers and sellers of hotels in The City of New York would customarily prorate or apportion) and shall receive all income therefrom accruing through the Cut-Off Time and Purchaser shall bear all such expenses and receive all income accruing thereafter. Any revenues and/or expenses affecting the Property that are not otherwise specifically addressed in Section 8.4(b) shall be apportioned consistently with the foregoing provisions. Purchaser and Seller further acknowledge and agree that the apportionments as to the Hotel-Related Units in this Section 8.4(b) shall be prepared, to the extent applicable, in accordance with the current edition of the Uniform System of Accounts for Hotels of the Hotel Association of New York City, Inc., as adopted by the American Hotel Association of the United States and Canada.

8.5 Guest Ledger Receivables. Seller shall receive a credit for fifty percent (50%) of all guest ledger receivables for guest room rates and applicable taxes from transient guests then in occupancy for their then period of occupancy, as of 11:59 p.m. on the day preceding the Closing (the “Cut-Off Time”) and the other fifty percent (50%) of such guest room rates and applicable taxes shall belong to Purchaser. Other guest ledger receivables before the Cut-Off Time shall belong one hundred percent (100%) to Seller. All guest ledger receivables after the Cut-Off Time shall belong one hundred percent (100%) to Purchaser. Seller shall also receive such income and shall be charged the expenses attributable to any other revenue sources at the Hotel-Related Units, including, without limitation, telephone, parking, restaurant and bar revenue, until the Cut-Off Time, and Purchaser shall receive a credit for the income and expenses attributable to such other revenue sources which remain open after the Cut-Off Time.

8.6 Other Receivables. All Miscellaneous Accounts Receivable of Seller shall remain Seller’s property. Purchaser shall cooperate, at Seller’s expense, with Seller’s efforts (using Purchaser’s commercially reasonable efforts, but provided that Purchaser shall not be required to institute any litigation or to spend any money or incur any expense in order to do so) to collect Seller’s Miscellaneous Accounts Receivable after Closing, and Purchaser shall deliver any amounts due to Seller with respect to any such accounts receivable in accordance with the provisions hereof less Purchaser’s reasonable third party collection costs, if any. Any collections shall be applied first to the newest outstanding invoice, unless (a) such invoice is in dispute, in which case, subject to clause (b) below, the collection shall be applied to the next newest invoice not in dispute, or (b) the payor has designated the invoice against which the collection should be applied, in which case, such collection shall be applied to the invoice so designated. For a period of one (1) year after Closing, Seller shall be entitled to reasonable access, on the basis of not more than once per calendar quarter, to Purchaser’s management employees and accountants, as well as all relevant records and working papers prepared by or for Purchaser, to aid in Seller’s collection of its Miscellaneous Accounts Receivable and Seller shall have the right to audit Purchaser’s books and records with respect thereto. If, at the conclusion of any such audit, Seller’s audit reveals that Purchaser collected and retained the benefit of any of Seller’s accounts receivable, Purchaser shall remit such amount to Seller upon demand. Should Purchaser disagree with the results of Seller’s audit, Seller and Purchaser shall refer the matter to a mutually acceptable independent certified public accountant, who shall work in good faith with Seller and Purchaser to resolve the dispute. The fees and costs of such independent accountant to which such dispute is referred shall be borne by the unsuccessful party and shall be shared pro rata to the extent each party is unsuccessful as determined by such independent certified public account, whose decision shall be final and binding. For the purpose of this Agreement, “Miscellaneous Accounts Receivable” shall mean all accounts receivable other than the guest ledger receivables, rentals and charges described in Sections 8.4 and 8.5. All account receivable amounts payable to Seller under this Agreement shall be paid by Purchaser within thirty (30) days of Purchaser’s receipt thereof. In addition, the parties shall cooperate with each other and conduct a true-up accounting on or about the one hundred eightieth (180th) day and again on or about the three hundred sixtieth (360th) day after the Closing Date in order to true-up any amounts owed.

8.7 Insurance Premiums. Subject to Section 5.1, the Insurance Policies shall not be assigned to Purchaser, and there shall be no apportionment with respect to any insurance premiums due thereunder.

8.8 Unredeemed Gift Items.

(a) From and after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall honor all Gift Cards and Certificates that have not been redeemed as of the Closing Date at their full value. At Closing, Purchaser shall be credited for seventy percent (70%) of the first $25,000 of the Gift Cards and Certificates that have not been redeemed as of the Closing Date and one hundred percent (100%) of any additional Gift Cards and Certificates that have not been redeemed as of the Closing Date.

For a period of three (3) years following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall retain, and allow Seller and its representatives reasonable access once per quarter to review, all documents relating to the Property for the period of Seller’s ownership or operation thereof reasonably requested by Seller and which Seller was not able to copy prior to the Closing, provided, that any such review shall take place at the Property or such other site in New York City as designated by Purchaser and in the presence of a representative of Purchaser. The provisions of this Section 8.9 shall survive the Closing and shall not be deemed merged into any instrument of conveyance delivered at the Closing.

8.10 Notice to Tenants under the Leases. Seller covenants and agrees to execute, at the Closing, a written notice of the acquisition of the Property by Purchaser for transmittal to each Tenant under a Lease and properly addressed to such Tenant.

sale and transfer and shall contain appropriate instructions relating to the payment of future rentals, the giving of future notices, and other matters reasonably required by Purchaser or required by law. Unless a different procedure is required by applicable law, in which event such laws shall be controlling, Purchaser agrees to transmit or otherwise deliver such letter to such Tenant, with a copy thereof to Seller, promptly after such Closing.

8.11 Branded Inventory, Supplies and Materials. From the Closing until the sixtieth (60th) day following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall be permitted to use any Jumeirah branded inventory, supplies and materials transferred to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, such inventory, supplies and materials shall be used solely in connection with the operation of the Hotel-Related Units and shall not be used or discarded in a manner that is disparaging to the Jumeirah brand or brings about liabilities to Hotel Manager or its Affiliates.

8.12 Liquor Inventory. Seller shall receive a credit at Closing for Seller’s unopened inventory of liquor on the Closing Date. Such credit shall be calculated at fifty percent (50%) of the unit cost of each unopened bottle of liquor.

If and when, but only if and when, the Closing is completed and the Purchase Price is paid in full, Seller shall be obligated to pay a real estate commission and/or brokerage fee to Broker pursuant to a separate agreement between Seller and Broker. Such commissions shall be paid in full at the Closing. Purchaser shall have no obligation whatsoever to make any payment to Broker in connection with the purchase and sale of the Property. Seller and Purchaser represent and warrant to each other that no other brokerage fee or real estate commission is or shall be due or owing to any party other than Broker in connection with this transaction based on any action or contact by such party, and Seller and Purchaser hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other from any and all loss, liability, claim, cause of action, damage, cost or other expense of any nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses (but only to the extent reasonable), resulting from a breach of such representation and warranty. The provisions of this Section 9 shall survive (i) the Closing and shall not be deemed merged into any instrument of conveyance delivered at the Closing or (ii) earlier termination of this Agreement.

10. Termination And Default.

10.1 Termination by Purchaser. If this Agreement is terminated by Purchaser pursuant to its rights to terminate as expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement or if a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close in accordance with the terms of this Agreement is not satisfied or waived, then the Deposit shall, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 13, promptly be returned to Purchaser by Escrow Agent and, except as provided for in Section 10.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Purchaser and Seller shall have no further obligations or liabilities hereunder.

10.2 PURCHASER’S DEFAULT; LIQUIDATED DAMAGES – DEPOSIT. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, IF THE CLOSING AND THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY ARE NOT CONSUMMATED AS RESULT OF PURCHASER’S DEFAULT HEREUNDER, WHICH DEFAULT IS NOT CURED WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER NOTICE FROM SELLER IN THE CASE OF A MONETARY DEFAULT (PROVIDED THE FOREGOING NOTICE AND CURE PERIOD SHALL NOT APPLY TO PURCHASER’S FAILURE TO MAKE THE DEPOSIT AS AND WHEN REQUIRED PURSUANT TO SECTION 2(a)(i)) OR PRIOR TO CLOSING IN THE CASE OF ANY NON-MONETARY DEFAULT (PROVIDED THAT IN NO EVENT SHALL THE FOREGOING OF THIS SECTION 10.2 BE DEEMED TO OPERATE AS AN EXTENSION OF THE CLOSING DATE AND ANY CURE PERIOD GRANTED TO PURCHASER HEREUNDER FOR A MONETARY DEFAULT OR A NON-MONETARY DEFAULT (WHETHER OR NOT NOTICE OF SAME IS GIVEN TO PURCHASER) THAT WOULD EXTEND PAST THE CLOSING DATE SHALL BE AUTOMATICALLY SHORTENED TO EXPIRE AS OF THE TIME AND DATE SET FOR CLOSING IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 8.1(a)), AND PROVIDED THAT ALL CONDITIONS TO PURCHASER’S OBLIGATIONS TO CONSUMMATE THE TRANSACTIONS HEREIN CONTEMPLATED EITHER HAVE BEEN SATISFIED OR SELLER DEMONSTRATES THAT THE SAME WOULD HAVE BEEN SATISFIED BUT FOR PURCHASER’S DEFAULT, SELLER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RETAIN THE DEPOSIT AS SELLER’S LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND SUCH AMOUNT SHALL, SUBJECT TO THE

PROCEDURES SET FORTH IN SECTION 13, PROMPTLY BE PAID TO SELLER BY ESCROW AGENT AND NEITHER PARTY SHALL HAVE ANY FURTHER OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER TO THE OTHER OR ANY RIGHT TO ANY OTHER REMEDIES AGAINST THE OTHER. SELLER HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO COLLECT ALL OTHER DAMAGES, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES, AND AGREES THAT THE FOREGOING SHALL BE SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IN THE EVENT OF ANY DEFAULT BY PURCHASER HEREUNDER. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY IMPRACTICABLE AND DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN THE ACTUAL DAMAGES SUFFERED BY SELLER AS A RESULT OF PURCHASER’S DEFAULT HEREUNDER, AND THAT UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING AS OF THE EXECUTION DATE, THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVIDED FOR IN THIS SECTION REPRESENT A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES WHICH SELLER WILL INCUR AS A RESULT OF SUCH DEFAULT, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THIS PROVISION SHALL NOT WAIVE OR AFFECT SELLER’S RIGHTS AND PURCHASER’S INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTIONs 4.1(a) OR 11.7 OF THIS AGREEMENT.

10.3 Seller’s Default. In the event the Closing and the transaction contemplated hereby is not consummated as a result of Seller’s default hereunder, Purchaser may, at its election and as its sole and exclusive remedy at law or in equity, either (a) terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller, in which case the Deposit shall, subject to the procedures set forth in Section 13, promptly be returned to Purchaser by Escrow Agent, and Seller shall pay Purchaser on demand an amount equal to Purchaser’s out-of-pocket costs and expenses for Purchaser’s diligence, entering into this Agreement, undertaking efforts to close and matters relating to all of the foregoing, not to exceed $300,000 in the aggregate; or (b) ▇▇▇ for specific performance of this Agreement and file a lis pendens in connection therewith, provided that (i) all conditions to Seller’s obligation to consummate the transactions herein contemplated shall have been satisfied or Purchaser demonstrates that the same would have been satisfied but for Seller’s default and (ii) Purchaser shall have commenced such suit within sixty (60) days following the later of the Closing Date and the date on which the period for Seller’s cure has lapsed in accordance with clause (x) of this Section 10.3. Purchaser hereby waives its right to collect all other damages, rights and remedies, and agrees that the foregoing shall be Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event of any default by Seller hereunder, provided, however, the foregoing waiver in this sentence shall not apply in the event Seller has defaulted in its obligation to transfer the Real Property to Purchaser and Purchaser is unable to obtain specific performance because Seller has transferred the Real Property to a third party that is not an Affiliate of Purchaser. Seller shall not be considered to be in default for purposes of this Section 10.3 (x) unless Seller has failed to cure such default for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Purchaser; provided that if such failure cannot be cured with reasonable diligence within such thirty (30) day period, then such thirty (30) day period shall be extended for an additional sixty (60) days and (y) by reason of Seller’s failure to comply with any deliveries or conditions to Closing where such deliveries or conditions require the performance by third parties. The terms and provisions of this Section 10.3 shall not waive or affect Purchaser’s rights and Seller’s indemnity obligations under other sections of this Agreement.

10.4 Break Up Fee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if: (a) prior to Closing, or prior to or during the exercise of any remedy afforded to Purchaser hereunder Seller files a voluntary petition or has a petition filed against it under Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code, and (b) Purchaser is prevented by the Bankruptcy Court overseeing the estate from consummating the purchase of the Property for the Purchase Price contemplated in Section 2 of this Agreement prior to the date that is one hundred twenty (120) days following the scheduled Closing Date, then Seller shall pay to Purchaser a fee (the “Break Up Fee”) on demand in the amount of Twenty Million and No/100 Dollars ($20,000,000).

10.5 Survival. The provisions of this Section 10 shall survive (i) the Closing and shall not be deemed merged into any instrument of conveyance delivered at the Closing or (ii) earlier termination of this Agreement.

11. Employment and Employee Benefit Matters.

11.1 Bargaining Unit Employees. Seller shall assign and Purchaser shall assume, and cause its hotel manager, if any, to assume, the Union Contract in accordance with its terms. Seller shall deliver, as and when required under the Union Contract, any notices required thereunder in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (and shall concurrently provide a copy of such notices to Purchaser). Seller shall retain all liabilities and

obligations (a) related to any Bargaining Unit Employees incurred in connection with their employment with Seller or with any management company retained to provide services at the Property, including, but not limited to, all severance and related costs incurred in connection with the termination of a Bargaining Unit Employee’s employment with the Seller or with any management company retained to provide services at the Property, and (b) arising or accruing under the Union Contract and the Union Benefit Plans or any other agreement or predecessor agreement or plan with any labor union or labor organization arising on or prior to the Closing Date. Seller shall make available to Purchaser, for interview by Purchaser, all Bargaining Unit Employees (to the extent permitted under the Union Contract) and Non-Bargaining Unit Employees at the Property. In accordance with Article 59 of the Union Contract, Purchaser agrees to retain all current bargaining unit employees subject to the terms of the Union Contract and applicable law. Seller shall be responsible for amounts and benefits payable or accrued under the Union Contract as of the Closing Date, including, but not limited to, any accrued but unpaid wages, vacation or other accrued compensation, benefits or contributions (such liability to survive the Closing); provided, however, that Seller receives an invoice for such amounts no later than six (6) months after the Closing, or in the case of amounts unknown as of that time, as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable under the applicable circumstances. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Union Contract” shall mean the collective bargaining agreement with respect to the Hotel-Related Units, as more particularly described in the Inspection Agreement. “Bargaining Unit Employees” shall mean all employees of Seller, or any management company retained to provide services at the Property, who work at the Hotel-Related Units and are covered by the Union Contract. “Union Benefit Plans” shall mean all Employee Benefit Plans required to be contributed to as set forth in the Union Contract, except for any 401(k) plan, and, including, without limitation, all Multiemployer Plans. Seller also agrees to comply with its obligations under any collective bargaining agreement or applicable labor law with respect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any applicable duty to bargain with or requirement of notification to any union regarding this sale.

11.2 Non-Bargaining Unit Employees.

(a) At least ten (10) days prior to the Closing, Purchaser or a designee of Purchaser shall make a written offer of employment to such number of Non-Bargaining Unit Employees as will avoid triggering liability under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, or any similar state or local law (the “WARN Act”) (on such terms as Purchaser determines in its sole and absolute discretion, provided that such offers do not trigger liability under the WARN Act), all such offers to be effective upon Closing; provided, however, that all Non-Bargaining Unit Employees who, prior to Closing, accept Purchaser’s or its designee’s offer of employment (“Transferred Employees”) will be at-will unless otherwise specified in a written agreement signed by Purchaser or such designee in its sole and absolute discretion. For purposes of this Agreement, “Non-Bargaining Unit Employees” shall mean all employees of Seller or Seller’s Affiliates or any management company retained to provide services at the Property who work at the Hotel Unit and are not covered by the Union Contract. Except as hereinafter provided in this Section 11.2, Seller shall be solely responsible for all liabilities related to any Non-Bargaining Unit Employees, who are not Transferred Employees, incurred on or prior to the Closing in connection with their employment at the Property, including, but not limited to, all severance and related costs and all amounts and benefits accrued with respect to the Transferred Employees as of the Closing Date, including, but not limited to, any accrued but unpaid wages, vacation, sick days, personal time off or other accrued compensation or benefits (such liability to survive the Closing). As of the Closing, and to the extent Purchaser receives a credit therefor, Purchaser will assume and discharge any obligation with respect to the accrued but unused vacation of Transferred Employees. Purchaser shall be solely responsible for any and all obligations incurred with respect to Transferred Employees after the Closing.

(b) Seller shall be responsible for perpetuating the group health plan continuation coverage pursuant to Code section 4980B and ERISA sections 601 through 609 for all employees of Seller or Seller’s Affiliates, or any management company retained to provide services at the Property who work at the Hotel Unit, and their eligible spouses and dependents, including providing all required notices with respect to any “qualifying event” (within the meaning of Code section 4980B) occurring in connection with this transaction or on or before the Closing Date. Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser, its designee, Purchaser’s Affiliates, the Purchaser Parties and any ERISA Affiliate of Purchaser or its designee harmless for any liability Purchaser, its designee, Purchaser’s Affiliates, the Purchaser Parties or any ERISA Affiliate of Purchaser or its designee incurs at any time on or after the Closing Date under the provisions of

Code section 4980B or ERISA sections 601 through 609 with respect to providing COBRA notices or group health plan coverage to any such employees, or a dependent or spouse of any such employee, who had or has a “qualifying event” (within the meaning of Code section 4980B) in connection with this transaction or on or before the Closing Date.

11.3 WARN Act. Prior to the Closing Date, Seller and its Affiliates shall refrain from engaging in any “mass layoff” or “plant closing,” as defined in the WARN Act, of employees working at the Hotel Unit. Purchaser agrees that Purchaser shall be solely liable and responsible for any and all damages which may be claimed or be payable by reason of, or arising out of, or resulting from the application of the WARN Act in connection with the termination of any employees after the Closing or the termination of any employees by Seller pursuant to Purchaser’s request.

11.4 Indemnification.

(a) Purchaser agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller, Seller’s Affiliates, and the Seller Parties and any Person that, together with such party, would be treated as a single employer under Section 414 of the Code or Section 4001 of ERISA and the regulations thereunder (“ERISA Affiliate”) harmless from and against any and all damages which any of them may sustain by reason of, or arising out of, or resulting from Purchaser’s failure to discharge any of the obligations and liabilities of Purchaser under Sections 11.1, 11.2, 11.3, 11.4, 11.5, 11.6 and 11.7 of this Agreement.

(b) Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Purchaser, Purchaser’s Affiliates, the Purchaser Parties and any ERISA Affiliate harmless from and against any and all damages which any of them may sustain by reason of, or arising out of, or resulting from Seller’s failure to discharge any of the obligations and liabilities of Seller under Sections 11.1, 11.2, 11.3, 11.4, 11.5, 11.6 and 11.7 of this Agreement.

11.5 Sale of Assets – ERISA.

(a) Upon the Closing, Purchaser, an Affiliate of Purchaser, Purchaser’s designated management company or other designee shall during the Surety Period (defined below) make contributions to each and every Union Benefit Plan that is a pension plan (“Union Pension Plan”) with respect to the operations of the Hotel-Related Units for substantially the same number of contribution base units for which Seller has an obligation to contribute with respect to each such Union Pension Plan immediately prior to the Closing; provided, however, such undertaking shall not render Purchaser liable for any contributions to any Union Benefit Plan or Union Pension Plan arising or relating to the period of time prior to Closing. Purchaser agrees to cooperate with Seller to comply with Section 4204 of ERISA, including, without limitation, to either (i) provide to the Union Pension Plan, for a period (the “Surety Period”) of five consecutive plan years commencing with the first plan year beginning after the Closing Date, either a bond issued by a surety company that is an acceptable surety for purposes of Section 412 of ERISA (with Purchaser to be the sole obligor thereunder) or an amount held in escrow (such bond or escrow, a “Surety Instrument”) by a bank or similar financial institution satisfactory to each Union Pension Plan in an amount equal to the greater of (A) the average annual contribution that Seller was required to make under the Multiemployer Plan with respect to the operations of the Hotel-Related Units for the three plan years immediately preceding the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs, or (B) the annual contribution that Seller was required to make under the Union Pension Plan with respect to the operations of the Hotel-Related Units for the last plan year immediately preceding the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs; or (ii) timely make a sufficient request for a variance from the bond or escrow requirement of ERISA Section 4204(a)(I)(B) in accordance with the regulations under ERISA. If Purchaser requests a variance in accordance with this Section and the request is denied, Purchaser shall provide the bond or amount in escrow in accordance with Section 11.5(a)(i) within the time limit necessary to satisfy Section 4204 of ERISA. The full cost of such Surety Instrument shall be borne by Purchaser and shall be in addition to all amounts due Seller under this Agreement. Unless waived by the Union Pension Plan sponsor, Seller recognizes its secondary liability to the Union Benefit Plan for withdrawal liability it might have incurred but for application of this Agreement and Section 4204 of ERISA in the event Purchaser should withdraw from the Union Benefit Plan or fails to make any contribution when due to the Union

Benefit Plan. Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate in taking such steps and executing such documents as are necessary to carry out the provisions of this Section 11.5 , or to otherwise qualify the instant sale under the provisions of Section 4204 of ERISA so that a complete or partial withdrawal within the meaning of Section 4201 of ERISA shall not thereby occur. Purchaser shall notify Seller of any event which might cause Seller to have any obligation to the Union Benefit Plan or Purchaser described in this Section 11.5 and, in addition, Purchaser shall timely notify and deliver to Seller all documentation relating to any claim of withdrawal liability (but in no event shall Purchaser deliver to Seller any Notice and Demand for Payment described in Section 4219 of ERISA later than thirty (30) days after its receipt by Purchaser) and Purchaser shall consult with Seller and afford Seller an opportunity to assert defenses to any such claims for withdrawal liabilities. Seller reserves the right to pay any claim for withdrawal liability in full and to collect thereafter from Purchaser any of the withdrawal liability that is attributable to Purchaser on account of Purchaser’s participation in the Union Benefit Plan after the Closing Date. If, at any time a bond is required for any of the Union Pension Plans pursuant to Section 4204(a)(3) of ERISA, Seller at Seller’s sole cost and expense shall post such bond in an amount and in a form which complies with Section 4204(a)(3) or obtain a variance from such bonding requirement from the applicable Union Pension Plan or the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.

(b) Upon the Closing, Purchaser shall adopt and assume all of Seller’s obligations under (including, without limitation, the obligation to make contributions to) each and every Union Benefit Plan that is a health or welfare plan (“Union Health Plan”). Purchaser agrees to make contributions to each Union Health Plan with respect to the operations of the Real Property for the amounts set forth in the Union Contract.

(c) This Section 11.5 shall be rendered null and void and of no further force and effect whatsoever if the transaction contemplated by this Agreement the sale of the Property would not constitute a withdrawal under the 1980 Multiemployer Pension Benefit Act Amendments of ERISA regardless of the above provisions which reference, and are intended to comply with, Section 4204 of ERISA, or Section 4204 of ERISA is otherwise inapplicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

11.6 Cooperation. Purchaser and Seller agree to cooperate reasonably with each other to the extent legally permissible in the defense of any claims brought by or on behalf of employees or former employees against Seller or Purchaser. Such cooperation shall include but not be limited to, providing: (i) workers compensation claims processing; (ii) access to and copying of personnel and I-9 records to the extent legally permissible; and (iii) for the availability of employees for such matters as interviews and depositions.

11.7 Release of Employee Personnel Records. No later than fifteen (15) days prior to Closing, Purchaser or an Affiliate of Purchaser shall identify to Seller, in writing, the employee personnel records that Purchaser or its Affiliate intends to access, copy, or obtain from Seller. Subject to applicable law, Seller shall permit Purchaser or its Affiliate to access or copy, or shall transfer to Purchaser or its Affiliate, as applicable, the employee personnel records so identified by Purchaser, or its Affiliate in a manner so as to preserve the confidentiality of such records. Purchaser and its Affiliates shall maintain the privacy of such records in accordance with applicable laws. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Purchaser agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller, Seller’s Affiliates and the Seller Parties harmless from and against any and all damages, which Seller may sustain at any time relating to Purchaser’s use of such records in violation of applicable law, other than Seller’s permitting access to or copying of any such employee personnel record by Purchaser. The provisions of this Section 11.6 shall survive (i) the Closing and shall not be deemed merged into any instrument of conveyance delivered at the Closing or (ii) the termination of this Agreement.

11.8 Third Party Rights. Nothing in this Article XI shall create any third-party beneficiary rights for the benefit of any Bargaining Unit Employees or Non-Bargaining Unit Employees.

11.9 Survival. This Article XI shall survive the Closing and shall not be deemed merged into any instrument of conveyance delivered at the Closing.

12.20 Disclosure. Each of Seller and Purchaser hereby covenants for itself and its Affiliates that prior to the Closing it shall not issue any press release or public statement with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior consent of Seller and Purchaser (which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld); provided, however, that except as otherwise provided below no such announcement shall (i) be made unless the Closing has occurred or (ii) make any reference to the Purchase Price or other material terms of this Agreement except to the extent that the same are a matter of public record or available to the public generally. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Purchaser is required by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange to disclose the terms of this Agreement and Seller consents to such disclosure. Otherwise, if Seller or Purchaser is required by law to issue such a press release or public statement, such party shall, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the issuance of the same, deliver a copy of the proposed release or statement to the other party for its review. The parties shall cooperate in good faith at and after the Closing to issue coordinated or joint press statements concerning the transaction, but nothing shall prevent either party from issuing its own press release.

12.21 Guest Baggage and Safe Deposit Boxes.

(a) Property of Guests. All baggage, parcels of property of guests or tenants being retained by Seller as security for unpaid accounts receivable shall be removed from the Property prior to the Closing (“Retained Baggage”).

Possession and control of all such other baggage, parcels or property listed on such inventory shall be delivered to Purchaser at Closing and Purchaser shall be responsible from and after the Closing for the liability of all items listed in such inventory, but only in the condition actually delivered by Seller. Seller shall remain liable for any acts or omissions with respect to such baggage which occurred prior to the date of Closing as well as for claimed omissions from said inventory, and Seller hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from and against any liability therefor.

(b) Notice to Persons With Safe Deposit Boxes. On the Closing Date, Seller shall give written notices (“Seller Verification Notices”) to guests, tenants, and other persons who have safe deposit boxes at the Hotel-Related Units or who have deposited items in the house safe at the Hotel-Related Units (the “Depositors”), if any, advising them of the sale of the Property to Purchaser and requesting, within 48 hours, verification of the contents of in their safe deposit boxes and/or the house safe and either (i) removal of such contents, or (ii) if such Depositors desire to have the continued use of the safe deposit boxes and/or the house safe, the execution of a new agreement with Purchaser for such continued use. Copies of Seller’s Verification Notices shall be given to Purchaser. During said 48-hour period, each safe deposit box and/or the house safe shall be opened and the items therein recorded only in the presence of representatives of both Seller and Purchaser. If the Depositors desire to continue to use a safe deposit box and/or the house safe, Purchaser shall make arrangements for such continued use. The contents of all safe deposit boxes and/or the house safe of Depositors not responding to Seller’s Verification Notices shall be opened promptly after the expiration of the 48-hour period, but only in the presence of both Seller and Purchaser. The contents of all boxes so opened shall be listed in an inventory at the time such safe deposit boxes or house safe are opened, each such list shall be signed by the representatives of Seller and Purchaser, the keys and/or combinations to the boxes shall be delivered to Purchaser, and the boxes shall then be relocked, sealed and left in the possession of Purchaser. Seller hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from and against any liability based on damage occurring prior to the date of Closing which is verified and recorded on the date of Closing.

13. General Escrow Provisions. The obligations and rights of Escrow Agent under this Agreement shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) The duties and obligations of Escrow Agent shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement and no implied duties or obligations shall be implied against Escrow Agent. Further, Escrow Agent shall be under no obligation to refer to any other document between or among Purchaser and Seller referred to in or related to this Agreement, unless Escrow Agent is provided with a copy of such document and consents thereto in writing.

(b) Escrow Agent shall not be liable to anyone by reason of any error of judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted by Escrow Agent in good faith, or for any mistake of fact or law, or for anything which Escrow Agent may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith, unless caused by or arising out of Escrow Agent’s actual and intentional misconduct, fraud or gross negligence.

(c) Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be protected in acting in reliance, upon any writing furnished to Escrow Agent by either Purchaser or Seller and shall be entitled to treat as genuine, and as the document it purports to be, any letter, paper or other document furnished to Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent may rely on any affidavit of either Purchaser or Seller or any other person as to the existence of any facts stated therein to be known by the affiant.

(d) If Seller shall become entitled to retain or receive the Deposit or other amount paid under this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall pay the same to Seller together with all interest earned thereon and if Purchaser shall become entitled to a return of the Deposit or other amount paid under this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall pay the same to Purchaser together with all interest earned thereon; provided, however, that no disbursement pursuant to this subsection shall be made by Escrow Agent until the fifth (5th) Business Day following the receipt or deemed receipt of notice by Seller and Purchaser from Escrow Agent of its intention to so disburse, and disbursement made by Escrow Agent after the passage of such five (5) Business Day period shall relieve Escrow Agent from all liability in connection with such disbursement unless such disbursement is proscribed by order of a court of competent jurisdiction or objected to in writing by Seller or Purchaser. If such disbursement is objected to in writing by Seller or Purchaser within such five (5) Business Day period, then Escrow Agent shall not make such disbursement until unanimously instructed in writing by Purchaser and Seller, or is directed to make such disbursement by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding anything to contrary contained herein, the five (5) Business Day requirement referred to above in this Section 13(d) shall not apply to a disbursement of the Deposit at Closing.

(e) In the event of any disagreement between Purchaser and Seller resulting in adverse claims and demands being made in connection with or against the funds held in escrow, Escrow Agent shall refuse to comply with the claims or demands of either party until such disagreement is finally resolved (i) by a court of competent jurisdiction (in proceedings which Escrow Agent or any other party may initiate, it being understood and agreed by Purchaser and Seller that Escrow Agent has authority (but not the obligation) to initiate such proceedings) (ii) by an arbitrator in the event that Purchaser and Seller mutually and jointly determine to submit the dispute to arbitration pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association, and in so doing Escrow Agent shall not be or become liable to a party or (iii) by written settlement between Purchaser and Seller.

(f) Purchaser and Seller each agree to jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless Escrow Agent against any and all losses, liabilities, costs (including legal fees) and other expenses in any way incurred by Escrow Agent (except to the extent Escrow Agent willfully disregards any provision of this Agreement to which it is bound or engages in fraudulent acts) in connection with or as a result of any disagreement between Purchaser and Seller under this Agreement or otherwise incurred by Escrow Agent in any way on account of its role as Escrow Agent, except that neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have any obligation to pay Escrow Agent any fee for escrow services hereunder.

(g) Escrow Agent in its sole discretion shall have the right to resign as the Escrow Agent under this Agreement, provided that it shall provide both Purchaser and Seller with at least thirty (30) days written notice of such resignation pursuant to the notice provisions of Section 12.7. Upon any such resignation, Escrow Agent shall transfer the Deposit and any interest earned thereon to a successor Escrow Agent jointly approved by Purchaser and Seller, whereupon the original Escrow Agent shall have no further obligation or liability whatsoever as Escrow Agent under this Agreement.

(h) The Deposit shall be invested in a money market account or federally-insured savings account selected by Purchaser and reasonably approved by Seller. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that Federal Deposit Insurance for the Deposit, if any, is limited to a cumulative maximum amount of $250,000.00 for each individual depositor for all of the depositor’s accounts at the same or related institution. The parties further hereby acknowledge and agree that certain banking instruments such as, but not limited to, repurchase agreements and letters of credit, are not covered at all by Federal Deposit Insurance. The parties acknowledge and agree that Escrow Agent shall have no obligation or liability with respect to insuring the Deposit or with respect to the solvency of the depository institution, or otherwise with respect to the appropriateness of the depository institution for purposes of the Deposit. Further, the parties understand that Escrow Agent assumes no responsibility for, nor will the parties hold the same liable for, any loss occurring which arises from the fact that (x) the amount of the account or accounts contemplated hereby may cause the aggregate amount of any individual depositor’s account or accounts to exceed $250,000.00, (y) that this excess amount is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or (z) that Federal Deposit Insurance is not available on certain types of bank instruments.

(i) Escrow Agent may pay the Deposit into a court of competent jurisdiction upon commencement by Escrow Agent of an interpleader action in such court. The reasonable out-of-pocket costs and attorneys’ fees of Escrow Agent for such interpleader action shall be paid by the losing party in such interpleader action.

(j) The rights and immunities of Escrow Agent hereunder shall apply equally to its partners, of counsel, associates, employees, Affiliates and agents.

(k) All of Escrow Agent’s obligations under this Agreement other than those in Section 12.9 shall automatically terminate upon disbursing the Deposit as set forth above.

JOINDER TO PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

This Joinder to Purchase and Sale Agreement (this “Joinder”) is executed by the undersigned as of the 13th day of August, 2012.

WHEREAS, the undersigned is affiliated with Seller and will benefit from Seller entering into the Purchase and Sale Agreement to which this Joinder is attached (the “Agreement”);

WHEREAS, Purchaser is not willing to enter into the Agreement with Seller unless the undersigned executes this Joinder to acknowledge its agreement to be jointly and severally liable with Seller for certain matters described below; and

WHEREAS, the undersigned desires to induce Purchaser to enter into the Agreement with Seller.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals and for other good and valuable consideration, receipt and sufficient of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees as follows:

The undersigned hereby agrees unconditionally and irrevocably to be held jointly and severally liable with Seller for Seller’s indemnity obligations as set forth in Section 6.2 of the Agreement (for the purposes of this Joinder, the “Obligations”), subject to and in accordance with the terms of Section 6.2 of the Agreement. The undersigned’s liability (or that of its successor hereunder) for such obligations and damages shall be coterminous with the liability of Seller for such matters and shall survive for so long as Seller’s liability therefor survives, as more particularly set forth in the Agreement.

In connection with this Joinder, the undersigned hereby waives and agrees not to assert or take advantage of the following defenses:

1. Any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of any person or entity, or revocation hereof by any person or entity, or the failure of Seller to file or enforce a claim against the estate (either in administration, bankruptcy, or any other proceeding) of any other person or entity;

2. Diligence, presentment, notice of acceptance, notice of dishonor, notice of presentment, or demand for payment of or performance of the Obligations and other suretyship defenses generally;

3. Protest and notice of dishonor or of default to the undersigned or to any other person or entity with respect to the performance of the Obligations;

4. Any action required by any statute to be taken against Seller;

5. The dissolution or termination of the existence of Seller;

6. The voluntary or involuntary liquidation, sale, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Seller;

7. The voluntary or involuntary receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, assignment, composition, or readjustment of, or any similar proceeding affecting, Seller or any of Seller’s assets;

8. Until payment in full of the Obligations, any right of subrogation, indemnity or reimbursement against Seller or any right to enforce any remedy which Purchaser may have against Seller;

9. Any and all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Purchaser, even though that election of remedies might impair or destroy any right, if any, of the undersigned of subrogation, indemnity or reimbursement against Seller;

10. Any defense based upon Seller’s failure to disclose to the undersigned any information concerning Seller’s financial condition or any other circumstances bearing on Seller’s ability to pay all sums payable under or in respect of this Joinder; and

11. Any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in any other respects more burdensome than that of a principal.

The undersigned’s liability under this Joinder is primary, direct and unconditional and may be enforced in full or in part, from time to time, after nonpayment or nonperformance of any of the Obligations by Seller, in each case without requiring Purchaser to resort to any other person or entity, including, without limitation, Seller, or any other right, remedy or collateral.

This Joinder constitutes a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection only.

This Joinder is a continuing, absolute and unconditional guaranty of the Obligations, and liability hereunder shall in no way be affected or diminished by any renewal, extension, amendment or modification of the Agreement or any waiver of any of the provisions thereof. The undersigned agrees that any act which tolls any statute of limitations applicable to the Agreement shall similarly operate to toll the statute of limitations applicable to the undersigned’s liability under the Joinder.

At all times during the twenty-four (24) consecutive month period following the date hereof, the undersigned shall maintain a Net Worth (defined below) in excess of $25,000,000.00. For the six (6) consecutive month period immediately following the expiration of such twenty-four (24) month period, the undersigned shall maintain a Net Worth in excess of $10,000,000.00.

The undersigned shall not, at any time during the thirty (30) consecutive month period immediately following the date hereof, enter into or effectuate any transaction with any Affiliate which would reduce the Net Worth of the undersigned below the level required in the immediately preceding paragraph.

For the purposes of this Joinder, “Net Worth” shall mean, as of a given date, (i) the total assets of the undersigned as of such date less (ii) the undersigned’s total liabilities as of such date, determined in accordance with GAAP. “GAAP” shall mean generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied. Not later than forty-five (45) days following the end of each of the first three calendar quarters, and ninety (90) days following the end of the fourth calendar quarter, the undersigned shall deliver financial statements to Purchaser confirming the undersigned’s compliance with the Net Worth requirements set forth herein. Purchaser shall have the right to audit the financial statements of the undersigned to verify such compliance. Such audits may be conducted not more frequently than one (1) time each calendar quarter and shall be performed at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, unless the undersigned is found to be non compliant with such Net Worth requirements, in which event the undersigned shall be solely responsible for the cost of such audit.

The undersigned shall pay to Purchaser on demand any and all expenses paid or incurred by Purchaser, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements (but only to the extent reasonable), in connection with the enforcement of this Joinder but only if Purchaser is successful on its claim pursuant to which it is enforcing this Joinder.

The undersigned represents and warrants that (i) it has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Joinder and to perform all obligations required of it hereunder, (ii) the execution and delivery by the signer on behalf of the undersigned, and the performance by the undersigned of its obligations hereunder, have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary action by the undersigned, and (iii) this Joinder constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of the undersigned, and is enforceable against the undersigned in accordance with its terms.

This Joinder shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the undersigned and Purchaser.

THIS JOINDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY PRINCIPLES REGARDING CONFLICT OF LAWS. ANY LITIGATION OR OTHER COURT PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTER ARISING FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS JOINDER SHALL BE CONDUCTED IN THE NEW YORK STATE SUPREME COURT IN NEW YORK COUNTY OR THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND THE UNDERSIGNED (AND PURCHASER, BY ACCEPTING THIS JOINDER) HEREBY SUBMITS TO JURISDICTION AND CONSENT TO VENUE IN SUCH COURTS, AND WAIVES ANY DEFENSE BASED ON FORUM NON CONVENIENS.

THE UNDERSIGNED (AND PURCHASER, BY ACCEPTING THIS JOINDER) HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION OR OTHER COURT PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTER ARISING FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS JOINDER.
