4.6 AS IS, WHERE IS. Purchaser expressly acknowledges and agrees that, AS A MATERIAL PART OF THE CONSIDERATION FOR THIS AGREEMENT, the Property is being sold to Purchaser and Purchaser agrees to purchase and accept the Property, and each and every part and component thereof, in an “AS IS, WHERE IS” condition as of the Closing with no representations or warranties from Seller, either express or implied except as expressly set forth IN THIS AGREEMENT. Purchaser agrees that Purchaser is not relying upon, and has not received or been given, any representations (except as expressly set forth IN THIS AGREEMENT), statements or warranties (oral or written, implied or express) of or by any officer, employee, agent or representative of Seller, or any salesperson or broker (if any) involved in this transaction, as to the Property or any part or component thereof in any respect, including, but not limited to, any representations, statements or warranties as to the physical or environmental condition of the Property, the fitness of the Property for use as a hotel, the financial performance or potential of the Property, the compliance of the Property with applicable building, zoning, subdivision, environmental, life safety or land use laws, codes, ordinances, rules, orders, or regulations, or the state of repair of the Property, and Purchaser, for itself and its heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns, waives any right to assert any claim or demand against Sellers at law or in equity relating to any such matter, whether latent or patent, disclosed or undisclosed, known or unknown, now existing or hereafter arising. EXCEPT FOR ANY TITLE OR SURVEY MATTERS CREATED SOLELY BY SELLER IN VIOLATION OF THIS AGREEMENT, Purchaser agrees that it shall have no recourse whatsoever against Seller, at law or in equity, should the Survey or the Title Insurance Commitments or the Title Policies fail to disclose any matter affecting the Property or reveal any such matter in an inaccurate, misleading or incomplete fashion or otherwise be in error. Purchaser acknowledges that it shall review the Survey and the Title Insurance Commitments (as same may be marked at Closing) and to discuss their contents with the independent contractors who prepared or issued each of them. Purchaser accordingly agrees to look solely to the preparer of the Survey and the issuer of the Title Insurance Commitments and Title Policies for any claim arising out of or in connection with such instruments and hereby releases Sellers from any such claim (except for any claim that Seller agreeS to cure as set forth in this Agreement).

Purchaser recognizes that the Hotels and Personal Property are not new and that there exists a possibility that the Property is not in compliance with the requirements which would be imposed on a newly constructed hotel by presently effective federal, state and local building, plumbing, electrical, fire, health, handicap, environmental and life safety laws, codes, ordinances, rules, orders and/or regulations (collectively, the “building codes”). The Hotels and other improvements on the Land may contain substances or materials no longer permitted to be used in newly constructed buildings including, without limitation, asbestos or other insulation materials, lead or other paints, wiring, electrical, or plumbing materials and may not contain other materials or equipment required to be installed in a newly constructed building. Purchaser has had the opportunity, as set forth in Section 2.4, to review the results of such investigations and inspections of the Property as Purchaser deemed necessary with respect to all such matters. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to accept and shall the Property in an “AS-IS, WHERE IS” condition and at Closing to accept and assume the risk of noncompliance of the Property with all such building codes. Except with respect to those representations set forth in Article III hereof, Purchaser waives any right to excuse (except as specifically set forth in this Agreement) or delay performance of its obligations under this Agreement or to assert any claim against Sellers (before or after Closing) arising out of any failure of the Property to comply with any such building codes.
Except with respect to those representations set forth in Article III, it is specifically understood and agreed by Seller and Purchaser that Seller does not make, and shall not be deemed to have made, any representation, warranty or covenant with respect to (i) any Environmental Laws that may affect any of the Property, or (ii) the presence or absence of any Hazardous or Toxic Substances in, on, above, under or about any of the Property (“Environmental Conditions”). From and after Closing, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees for itself and for its heirs, successors and assigns, to waive all of its rights under this Agreement, if any, and any Environmental Laws to require Seller to remediate or “clean up” the Property and releases Seller from any liability of any kind or nature arising with respect to any Environmental Conditions at the Property. As used in this Agreement, (A) the term “Environmental Laws” means all federal, State and local laws, codes, ordinances, rules, orders and regulations now or hereafter in effect relating to pollution or the protection of the environment, including without limitation, all laws, codes, ordinances, rules, orders and regulations governing the generation, use, collection, treatment, storage, transportation, recovery, removal, discharge, spill or disposal of any or all Hazardous or Toxic Substances, and (B) the term “Hazardous Substances” or “Toxic Substances” means materials and substances defined as “hazardous substances”, “hazardous wastes”, “toxic substances” or “toxic wastes” in (I) the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, 42 U.S.C. Sections 9601-9675, as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1988, and any further amendments thereto and rules, orders and regulations thereunder; (II) the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, 42 U.S.C. Sections 6901-6992, as amended by the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984, and any further amendments thereto and rules, orders and regulations thereunder; or (III) any other Environmental Laws. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that: (a) Purchaser is an experienced and sophisticated owner of real property; (b) Purchaser has expressly negotiated the limitations of liability contained in this Section; and (c) the limitations contained in this Section are reasonable. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has agreed to enter into this Agreement in consideration for and in reliance upon the foregoing limitations of liability, and that the consideration under this Agreement is based in part on the limitations of liability.
12
It is understood and agreed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Purchaser that in the event of any conflict between the terms and provisions of this Section 4.6 and any other term or provision to this Agreement, the relevant term or provision of this Section 4.6 shall control and govern. The provisions of this Article IV shall survive Closing.

Seller shall be entitled to all revenue and shall be responsible for all expenses for the period of time up to but not including the date of Closing, and Purchaser shall be entitled to all revenue and shall be responsible for all expenses for the period of time from, after and including the date of Closing provided that the housekeeping costs and the Rooms Ledger for the date of Closing shall be shared equally between Seller and Purchaser.

All prorations shall be made on the basis of the actual number of days in the year and month in which the Closing occurs or in the period of computation. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the following items of revenue and expense shall be allocated and prorated at Closing:
(a) Current rents.

At Closing, Seller shall sell to Purchaser in connection with the Hotel, and Purchaser shall purchase from Seller at face value: (a) all ▇▇▇▇▇ cash funds in connection with the hotel guest operations at the Property; and (b) the so-called "guest ledger" as mutually approved by Seller and Purchaser of guest accounts receivable payable to the Hotel as of the check out time for the Hotel on the Closing Date (based on guest and customers then using the Hotel) both (i) in occupancy from the preceding night through check out time the morning of the Closing Date, and (ii) previously in occupancy prior to check out time on the Closing Date.

The purchase price of said ▇▇▇▇▇ cash fund and guest ledger shall be paid to Seller at Closing by a credit to Seller in the computation of adjustments and prorations on the Closing Date. The procedure and method of making the proration adjustments set forth in this Section 6.6 is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit B.
Purchaser shall receive a credit for all retail sales (as distinguished from any tax on the sale of any personal property effected pursuant to this Agreement), occupancy and liquor taxes and like impositions up to but not including the date of Closing. Any such taxes applicable to the Rooms Ledger shall be apportioned equally between Seller and Purchaser. Seller shall cooperate reasonably with Purchaser to permit Purchaser to obtain, if desired by Purchaser, sale and occupancy tax clearance certificates from the State in which the Real Property is located.
If accurate allocations cannot be made at Closing because current bills are not obtainable (as, for example, in the case of utility bills and/or real estate or personal property taxes), the parties shall allocate such revenue or expenses at Closing on the best available information, subject to adjustment upon receipt of the final bill or other evidence of the applicable revenue or expense. The obligation to make the adjustment shall survive the closing of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Any revenue received or expense incurred by Seller or by Purchaser with respect to the Property after the date of Closing shall be promptly allocated in the manner described herein and the parties shall promptly pay or reimburse any amount due. With respect to any closing statements amounts or issues relating to prorations that are not agreed upon at Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall thereafter work in good faith to resolve such amounts or issues; provided that if such amounts or issues are not fully agreed upon and paid within ten (10) days after the Closing, then, in such event, such amounts or issues shall be submitted to an independent certified public accountant with a hospitality practice reasonably acceptable to Seller and Purchaser for final resolution, and Seller and Purchaser agree to be bound by the determination of such accountant. The costs and expenses incurred in connection with the services of such accountant shall be borne equally by Seller and Purchaser. The provisions of this Section 6.6 shall survive the Closing.
6.7 Safe Deposit Boxes. On the Closing Date, Seller shall cause the Manager to make available to Purchaser at the Hotel all receipts and agreements in the Manager’s possession relating to all safe deposit boxes in use at the Hotel, other than safes or lockboxes, if any, located inside individual guest rooms in Hotel. During the Study Period, Seller and Purchaser shall mutually agree upon a procedure to provide notice to each Hotel guest utilizing a safe deposit box on the Closing Date about the sale of the Property and to cause each such Hotel guest to adhere to the procedure set forth in the notice so that a proper inventory can be prepared and an orderly transition made. From and after the Closing, Seller and the Manager shall be relieved of any and all responsibility in connection with each said box, and Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller and the Manager and harmless from and against any claim, liability, cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) with respect to such safety deposit box arising after the Closing. Seller hereby agrees to hold Purchaser harmless from any other liability or claims with respect to such safe deposit boxes arising prior to the Closing Date. The provisions of this Section 6.7 shall survive the Closing.
17
6.8 Inventory of Baggage. The representatives of Seller and/or Manager, and of Purchaser shall prepare an inventory of baggage at the Hotel as of 12:00 noon on the Closing Date (which inventory of baggage shall be binding on all parties thereto) of (a) all luggage, valises and trunks checked or left in the care of the Hotel by guests then or formerly in the Hotel, (b) parcels, laundry, valet packages and other property of guests checked or left in the care of the Hotel by guests then or formerly in the Hotel (excluding, however, property in Hotel safe deposit boxes), (c) all luggage or other property of guests retained by Seller as security for any unpaid accounts receivable, and (d) all items contained in the Hotel lost and found. Purchaser shall be responsible from and after the Closing Date for all baggage and other items listed in such inventory of baggage, and Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller and the Manager harmless from and against any claim liability, cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Seller or the Manager or any Affiliate thereof with respect thereto arising after the Closing Date. Seller hereby agrees to hold Purchaser harmless from any other liability or claims with respect to such inventory of baggage arising prior to the Closing Date. The provisions of this Section 6.8 shall survive the Closing.
6.9 Accounts Receivable. It is expressly agreed by and between Purchaser and Seller that Seller is not hereby agreeing to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser is not hereby agreeing to purchase from Seller, any of Seller’s accounts receivable. All of Seller’s accounts receivable shall be and remain the property of Seller. At the Closing, Seller shall prepare a list of its outstanding accounts receivable as of midnight on the date prior to the Closing, specifying the name of each account and the amount due to Seller. Purchaser shall hold any funds received by Purchaser explicitly designated as payment of such accounts receivable, in trust, if Purchaser actually collects any such amounts, and shall pay the monies collected in respect thereof to Seller at the end of each calendar month, accompanied by a statement showing the amount collected on each such account. Other than the foregoing, Purchaser shall have no obligation with respect to any such account, and Purchaser shall not be required to take any legal proceeding or action to effect collection on behalf of Seller. It is generally the intention of Purchaser and Seller that although all of Seller’s accounts receivable shall be and remain the property of Seller, if any such accounts are paid to Purchaser, then Purchaser shall collect same and remit to Seller in the manner above provided. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring Purchaser to remit to Seller any funds collected by Purchaser on account of Purchaser’s accounts receivable generated from Hotel operations after the Closing, even if the person or entity paying same is also indebted to Seller.

GENERAL PROVISIONS
7.1 Fire or Other Casualty. Seller agrees to give Purchaser prompt notice of any fire or other casualty to the Property costing more than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) to repair and occurring between the Effective Date and the Closing Date of which Seller has knowledge. If, prior to Closing, the Property is damaged by fire or other casualty which is fully insured (without regard to deductibles) and would cost less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) and require less than 180 days to repair, then neither party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by reason thereof and the Closing shall take place without abatement of the Purchase Price, but Seller shall assign to Purchaser at the Closing all of Seller’s interest in any insurance proceeds (except use and occupancy insurance, rent loss and business interruption insurance, and any similar insurance, attributable to the period preceding the Closing Date) that may be payable to Seller on account of any such fire or other casualty, to the extent such proceeds have not been previously expended or are otherwise required to reimburse Seller for actual expenditures of restoration made prior to the Closing Date, plus Seller shall credit the amount of any deductibles under any policies related to such proceeds to the Purchase Price together with any amount not covered by insurance. If any such damage due to fire or other casualty is insured and would cost in excess of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) or require more than 180 days to repair, then Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by written notice given to Seller within ten (10) days after Seller has given Purchaser the notice of damage or casualty referred to in this Section 7.1, or on the Closing Date, whichever is earlier, in which case the parties hereto shall be released of all further obligations hereunder, and all ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ money on deposit shall be refunded to Purchaser by the Escrow Agent, with respect to the Property except those which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement. Should Purchaser elect to proceed to Closing notwithstanding the amount of the insured loss or the time required for repairs, the Closing shall take place without abatement of the Purchase Price and at Closing Seller shall assign to Purchaser the insurance proceeds and grant to Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the amount of the applicable deductible plus any amount not covered by insurance. If, prior to Closing, any Property is damaged by fire or casualty which is uninsured and would cost Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) or more to repair, then Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by written notice given to Seller within ten (10) days after Seller has given Purchaser the notice of damage or casualty or on the Closing Date, and receive a return of all ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ money on deposit with Escrow Agent, whichever is earlier, in which case the parties hereto shall be released of all further obligations hereunder, except those which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement. If Purchaser does not elect to terminate its obligations under this Agreement pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, or if any uninsured fire or casualty would cost less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) to repair, then the Closing shall take place as provided herein, and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the estimated amount to repair such casualty, not to exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00).
7.2 Condemnation. After the Effective Date, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to give ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ prompt written notice of any knowledge of or notice of any taking by condemnation of any part of the Real Property. If a taking will materially interfere with the operation or use of the Hotel which constitutes a part of such Real Property, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller within ten (10) days after Seller has given Purchaser the notice of taking referred to in this Section 7.2, or on the Closing Date, whichever is earlier. If Purchaser exercises its option to terminate its obligations to purchase the Property pursuant to this Section 7.2, the parties hereto shall be released from all further obligations hereunder with respect to the Property, except those which expressly survive a termination of the Agreement. If Purchaser does not so elect to terminate this Agreement, then the Closing shall take place as provided herein, and Seller shall assign to Purchaser at the Closing all of Seller’s interest in any condemnation award which may be payable to Seller on account of any such condemnation and, at Closing, Seller shall credit to the amount of the Purchase Price payable by Purchaser the amount, if any, of condemnation proceeds received by Seller between the Effective Date and Closing less (a) any amounts reasonably expended by Seller in collecting such sums and (b) any amounts reasonably used by Seller to repair the Property as a result of such condemnation. If, prior to Closing, there shall occur a taking by condemnation of any part of or rights appurtenant to the Property that does not materially interfere with the operation or use of the Hotel which constitutes a part of the Property, Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement by reason thereof and the Closing shall take place without abatement of the Purchase Price, but Seller shall assign to Purchaser at Closing all of Seller’s interest in any condemnation award which may be payable to Seller on account of any such condemnation and, at Closing, Seller shall credit to the amount of the Purchase Price payable by Purchaser the amount, if any, of condemnation proceeds received by Seller between the Effective Date and Closing less (a) any amounts reasonably expended by Seller in collecting such sums and (b) any amounts reasonably used by Seller to repair the Property as a result of such condemnation. Provided Purchaser has not exercised its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.2, Seller shall notify Purchaser in advance regarding any proceeding or negotiation with respect to the condemnation and Purchaser shall have a reasonable right, at its own cost and expense, to appear and participate in any such proceeding or negotiation. For purposes of Sections 7.1 and 7.2 if this Agreement, estimates of costs and time required for restoration or repair shall be made by an architect or engineer, as appropriate, designated by Seller and reasonably acceptable to Purchaser.

7.3 Broker. Seller and Purchaser each represent and warrant to the other that they have not employed any real estate sales representatives or brokers regarding the transaction contemplated by this Agreement other than, in Seller’s case, engagement of JLL Hotels and Hospitality in respect of which Seller shall be solely responsible for all related fees due under Seller’s separate agreement with such broker. Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold Purchaser harmless from any commission or fee claimed to be owing due to the acts of Seller. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from any commission or fee claimed to be owing due to the acts of Purchaser. This Section relates solely to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement between Seller and Purchaser and shall not create any third party right or obligation in favor of either or any broker.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if, at Closing, Seller fails to comply in any material respect with any of its obligations contained in Section 6.2 or Section 6.4 (the “Closing Obligations”), and if all conditions precedent to Seller’s obligations hereunder have been satisfied and Purchaser has fully performed all of its obligations under the Agreement, Purchaser shall have, in addition to Purchaser’s remedies contained in the preceding sentence, the option to waive all other actions, rights, or claims for damages for such failure, other than costs and expenses incurred in enforcing this Agreement, and to bring an equitable action to enforce the Closing Obligations by specific performance; provided, (a) Purchaser shall provide written notice of Purchaser’s intention to enforce the Closing Obligations by specific performance, and (b) Purchaser’s suit for specific performance shall be filed against Seller in a court having jurisdiction in the county and state in which the Property is located, on or before thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, failing which, Purchaser shall be barred from enforcing the Closing Obligations by specific performance and shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement as provided herein.
8.2 Default by Purchaser. If Purchaser shall fail to perform or comply with any of covenants, acts and agreements contained in this Agreement in any material respect when required to be performed hereunder and such failure shall continue for five (5) business days after Seller gives Purchaser written notice of such failure (but in no event shall such cure period extend beyond the Closing Date), Seller, as its sole and exclusive remedy, shall be permitted to terminate this Agreement in which event the parties hereto shall be released from all further obligations hereunder except those which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement. In the event of such termination, Seller shall be entitled to receive the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money from the Escrow Agent as liquidated damages and not as penalty, in full satisfaction of its claims against Purchaser hereunder. Seller and Purchaser agree that Seller’s damages resulting from Purchaser’s default are difficult, if not impossible, to determine and the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money is a fair estimate of those damages which has been agreed to in an effort to cause the amount of said damages to be certain.
20
8.3 Costs and Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any litigation or dispute between the parties arising out of or in any way connected with this Agreement, resulting in any litigation, then the prevailing party in such shall be entitled to recover its costs of prosecuting and/or defending same, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees at trial and all appellate levels. The provisions of this Section 8.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
8.4 Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the liability of each party hereto resulting from the breach or default by such party shall be limited to direct actual damages incurred by the injured party and each part hereto hereby waives its rights to recover from the other party consequential, punitive, exemplary, and speculative damages. The provisions of this Section 8.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

9.12 No Partnership. This Agreement does not and shall not be construed to create a partnership, joint venture or any other relationship between the parties hereto except the relationship of seller and purchaser specifically established hereby.
9.13 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to every provision hereof.

(a) Singular words shall connote the plural number as well as the singular and vice versa, and the masculine shall include the feminine and the neuter.

(d) Each party hereto and its counsel have reviewed and revised (or requested revisions of) this Agreement and have participated in the preparation of this Agreement, and therefore any usual rules of construction requiring that ambiguities are to be resolved against a particular party shall not be applicable in the construction and interpretation of this Agreement or any exhibits hereto.

9.17 Facsimile/Electronic Signatures. The execution of this Agreement and all notices given hereunder and all amendments hereto, may be effected by facsimile or electronic signatures, all of which shall be treated as originals.
9.18 Assignment by Purchaser. Other than to an Affiliate of Purchaser, Purchaser may not assign its rights hereunder without the prior consent of Seller; however, any such assignment (including one to Purchaser’s Affiliate) shall not relieve Purchaser of its obligations under this Agreement.
9.19 Waiver. The excuse or waiver of the performance by a party of any obligation of the other party under this Agreement shall only be effective if evidenced by a written statement signed by the party so excusing or waiving. No delay in exercising any right or remedy shall constitute a waiver thereof, and no waiver by Seller or Purchaser of the breach of any covenant of this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other covenant or condition of this Agreement.
24
9.20 Section 1031 Exchange. Either party may consummate the purchase or sale of the Property as part of a so-called like kind exchange (an “Exchange”) pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), provided that (i) the Closing shall not be delayed or affected by reason of an Exchange nor shall the consummation or accomplishment of any Exchange be a condition precedent or condition subsequent to a party’s obligations under this Agreement; (ii) any party desiring an Exchange shall effect its Exchange through an assignment of this Agreement, or its rights under this Agreement, to a qualified intermediary and the other party shall not be required to take an assignment of the purchase agreement for the relinquished or replacement property or be required to acquire or hold title to any real property for purposes of consummating such Exchange; and (iii) the party desiring an Exchange shall pay any additional costs that would not otherwise have been incurred by Purchaser or Seller had such party not consummated its purchase or sale through an Exchange. Neither party shall by this agreement or acquiescence to an Exchange desired by the other party (1) have its rights under this Agreement affected or diminished in any manner or (2) be responsible for compliance with or be deemed to have warranted to the other party that such party’s Exchange in fact complies with Section 1031 of the Code.
9.21 Confidentiality. Purchaser acknowledges that the existence of the transaction described herein and any documents, materials, instruments, records or other information delivered by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Submission Matters (“Information”), shall be kept confidential by Purchaser, will not be used for any purpose other than in connection with Purchaser’s due diligence, and Purchaser shall neither disclose nor allow the disclosure of the Information or the existence of the transaction to anyone other than Purchaser’s Parties as are appropriate in order to conduct its due diligence.
