Such access shall be solely for the purposes of (i) reviewing the leases, the service contracts and any records relating thereto; (ii) reviewing records relating to revenues and operating expenses; (iii) inspecting the physical condition of the Property and conducting non-intrusive physical or environmental inspections of the Property; and (iv) reviewing at Seller’s offices such other records and information of Seller with respect to the Property in the possession or control of Seller as Purchaser shall reasonably request to review and examine in connection with the inspections and reviews contemplated herein (any such items (i) through (iv) delivered or made available to Purchaser and Purchaser’s Agents by Seller shall collectively be know as the “Property Information”). Purchaser shall not conduct or allow any physically intrusive testing of, on or under the Property without first obtaining Owner’s or Tenant’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) as to the timing and scope of work to be performed. Seller shall provide Purchaser and Purchaser’s Agents with reasonable access to interview Manager, on no less than two Business Days’ prior notice, provided Seller shall be permitted to cause one or more of its representatives to be present at any such interview, and shall instruct Manager to cooperate fully with Purchaser and Purchaser’s Agents in connection with Purchaser’s and Purchaser’s Agents’ due diligence and in answering any reasonable inquiries of Purchaser and Purchaser’s Agents.

Owner and Tenant shall be named as an additional insureds on

(d) Purchaser agrees that in exercising its right of access hereunder, Purchaser will use and will cause Purchaser’s Agents to use their commercially reasonable efforts not to interfere with the activity of tenants, transient guests or any Persons occupying or providing service at the Property. Purchaser shall, at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to inspection, give Seller notice of its intention to conduct any inspections, so that Seller shall have an opportunity to have a representative present during any such inspection, and Seller expressly reserves the right to have such a representative present. Purchaser agrees to cooperate with any reasonable request by Seller in connection with the timing of any such inspection. If the transaction contemplated herein does not close through no fault of Seller, upon Seller’s request, Purchaser agrees (which agreement shall survive Closing or termination of this Agreement) to provide Seller with a copy of any and all final reports (other than financial feasibility or marketing reports) (or, in the event that final reports are not obtained by Purchaser, a copy of the last draft or preliminary report provided to Purchaser), including such backup documentation as may be available to Purchaser, prepared by Purchaser and/or Purchaser’s Agents to perform activities permitted herein, except to the extent Purchaser, in its reasonable judgment, believes it is legally prohibited from delivering such materials to Seller.

(e) Purchaser shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly restore any physical damage or alteration of the physical condition of the Property which results from any inspections conducted by or on behalf of Purchaser, which obligation shall survive termination of this Agreement. Purchaser further agrees to reimburse Seller for all damage done to the Property by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Agents. All inspections shall be conducted at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense and in strict accordance with all applicable law. Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Seller and Seller’s Affiliates harmless from any and all liability, claims, actions, demands, damages, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) Seller may suffer arising from the actions of Purchaser or Purchaser’s Agents in inspecting the physical condition of the Property prior to Closing; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be required to indemnify, hold harmless or defend Seller or Seller’s Affiliates to the extent any such losses arise solely out of any pre-existing condition at the Property. The provisions of this Section 2.3(e) shall survive the Closing and shall not be merged therein.

(f) Prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall at its sole cost and expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to complete audits of the Property and each of the properties which are the subject of the Related Agreements.

Such cooperation by Seller shall include the execution by Seller of a so-called “auditor’s representation letter,” in the form of Schedule R attached hereto, for the benefit of the preparer of the Audited Financial Statements; provided, however, in no event shall the delivery of such an “auditor’s representation letter” be deemed to subject Seller or any of its Affiliates or their respective partners, members, managers,

shareholders, officers, directors, trustees, beneficiaries, employees or agents to any liability under the Securities Act as an “issuer” or “underwriter.”

If Purchaser fails to so notify Seller of Purchaser’s election to terminate, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 2.3(g) and shall remain obligated to consummate the purchase contemplated by this Agreement. Purchaser’s failure to notify Seller of Purchaser’s election to terminate on or before expiration of the Due Diligence Period shall constitute a waiver by Purchaser of its right to terminate by reason of this Section 2.3(g) and the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money shall be non-refundable, except as otherwise provided herein, but credited to the Purchase Price if this transaction closes. If Purchaser gives Seller written notice on or before the last day of the Due Diligence Period of Purchaser’s election to terminate this Agreement, then this Agreement shall be deemed terminated and, thereafter, upon notice by Purchaser to Title Company, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money shall be delivered to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further liability to the other hereunder except for any provisions which are expressly stated to survive the termination hereof.

It is the parties’ express understanding and agreement that such materials are provided only for Purchaser’s convenience in making its own examination and determination as to whether it wishes to consummate the purchase contemplated by this Agreement.

In the event Purchaser becomes legally compelled to disclose all or any part of the Due Diligence Documentation, Purchaser will provide Seller with prompt written notice so that Seller may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained prior to the time Purchaser is obligated to disclose all or any part of the Due Diligence Documentation, Seller will waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement to allow Purchaser to comply with such legal obligations.

Notwithstanding the above, Purchaser hereby agrees (which obligation shall survive the Closing) to refund to Seller the excess, if any, of any (x) adjustment to the Purchase Price attributable to the anticipated cost to cure such representations or warranties and/or mitigate the adverse effect on the Property arising from the breach of the representations or warranties over (y) the actual cost incurred in connection with the cure and/or mitigation of the same.

Seller shall pay all the costs and expenses of obtaining any such permits and licenses, including the cost of cooperating with all governmental inspections triggered by a permit or license transfer and complying with instructions issued by any governmental authority in connection with such inspection, and Seller shall be responsible for any damages arising out of the failure to satisfy any governmental authority as to the sufficiency of existing permits and licenses.

SECTION 9. APPORTIONMENTS; CLOSING COSTS.

9.1 Apportionments. The parties agree to adjust the Purchase Price by an amount equal to a proration of taxes, rental, and other income, and operating or other expenses of the Property as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date (i.e., Purchaser is entitled to the income and responsible for the expenses on the Closing Date) computed as follows:

(a) Certain costs and expenses relating to the Property shall be adjusted as of the Closing Date between Seller and Purchaser (the “Closing Date Adjustment”). The Closing Date Adjustment shall constitute a composite accounting of the different items described below. The intent is to credit or charge, as the case may be, Seller with all revenues and expenses respecting the Property which are attributable to operations before the Closing Date and to credit or charge, as the case may be, Purchaser with all such revenues and expenses attributable to operations on and after the Closing Date. Seller shall be responsible for and agrees to pay all accounts payable through the date preceding the Closing Date. Unless otherwise provided for herein, all revenues and expenses shall be separately accounted for as between Seller and Purchaser as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date (the “Apportionment Time”). No later than forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date and again at one-hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser shall review all the amounts and calculations made in respect of the Closing Date Adjustment and any final corrections shall be made to the Closing Date Adjustment, and Seller and Purchaser at that time shall settle any funds owed to each other. If Seller and Purchaser, each acting reasonably and in good faith, cannot resolve any issue with respect to the adjustments described in this section, they shall submit such issue for binding resolution by a nationally recognized accounting firm mutually acceptable to both parties (the “Accounting Firm”). The parties shall bear equally all fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm in connection with the resolution of such issue, and each party shall bear its own legal, accounting and other fees and expenses incurred in connection with the resolution of the issue by the Accounting Firm. Such resolution shall be final and binding on the parties and judgment may be entered upon such resolution in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Seller and Purchaser agree that the proceeding described in this section shall be conducted in Bethesda, Maryland.

(b) By way of example, and not in limitation, the following items shall be accounted for in calculating the Closing Date Adjustment:

(i) the total amount of security deposits held by Seller under any of the Space Leases shall be credited to Purchaser by Seller;

(ii) prepaid rents and all room and other deposits and advance payments under booking arrangements and for use of the Property facilities after the Closing Date shall be credited to Purchaser. At Closing, Purchaser shall execute a receipt for such deposits and prepaid rents and shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against all claims and liabilities pertaining to the application or return of such prepaid rents or deposits;

(iii) collected rents and any other amounts received from tenants under space leases shall be prorated as of the Closing Date; delinquent (or payable but unpaid) rent and other payments from tenants under space leases as of the Closing Date shall not be prorated on the Closing Date. If any tenant is in arrears in the payment of rent or other fixed charges, any

payments on account of rent or such other fixed charges received by Purchaser from such tenant after the Closing Date shall be applied first to rent and other charges due for the month in which such payments are received and then to preceding months for which such rent and other charges are in arrears (always to the most recent first). If, following the Closing, Seller receives any payments applicable to the period commencing on the Closing Date, Seller shall immediately pay such amounts to Purchaser. If any payments of rent or other fixed charges received by Seller or Purchaser on or after the Closing Date are payable to the other party by reason of this allocation, such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the other party and the appropriate sum shall be promptly paid to the other party. At the Closing, Seller shall furnish to Purchaser a complete and correct schedule of all minimum rents and other fixed charges which are then due and payable but which have not been paid. Percentage rents and other variable charges under space leases, such as payments for real estate taxes and other expenses, which are not fixed in amount, shall be adjusted when and as received based upon the number of days in the payment period that each party owned the Property. Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect any rent and other charges in arrears, but shall be under no obligation to commence any actions or proceedings with respect thereto. From and after the date that is six (6) months after the Closing Date, Seller may, at its sole expense, pursue collection efforts, including the bringing of lawsuits, for any delinquent rents or other charges, provided that Seller may not bring any action to terminate any of the space leases or dispossess or otherwise evict any tenant thereunder;

(iv) Seller shall receive a credit in the amount of any reserve account on the Closing Date held by Manager under the Management Agreement, such credit shall not include a credit for any reserve account with respect to FF&E (the “FF&E Reserve”);

(v) all charges and prepayments relating to the Contracts shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser as of 12:01 on the Closing Date;

(vi) all cash in the operating accounts for the Property (it being understood that such accounts refer to “house banks” and not bank accounts) shall be paid over to Purchaser at Closing and Seller shall receive a credit therefor in the Closing Date Adjustment;

(vii) guest ledger receivables (i.e., amounts, including, without limitation, room charges and charges for food and beverages, accrued to the accounts of guests and other customers of the Hotel as of the Apportionment Time) shall be prorated between Purchaser and Seller. Seller shall receive a credit for all guest ledger receivables, net of credit card and travel agent and similar commissions, for all room nights and other charges up to but not including the room night during which the Apportionment Time occurs, and Purchaser shall be entitled to the amounts of guest ledger receivables for the room nights and other charges after the Apportionment Time. The final night’s room revenue (revenue from rooms occupied on the evening preceding the Closing Date), any taxes thereon, and any in-room telephone, movie and similar charges for such night, shall be allocated 50% to Seller and 50% to Purchaser (and Seller and Purchaser shall each bear 50% of the credit card charges, travel company charges and similar commissions payable with respect to such revenue). All revenues from restaurants, bars and lounge facilities for the night during which the Apportionment Time occurs shall belong to Seller and Seller shall bear all expenses related to such revenues, including but not limited to, payroll and food and beverage costs;

(viii) Seller shall receive a credit for, and Purchaser shall purchase from Seller, all accounts receivable (other than the guest ledger) that are less than one hundred twenty (120) days old. Such credit shall equal the amount of the accounts receivable, less (1) credit card charges, travel company charges and similar commissions and (2) on all accounts receivable other than credit card receivables, a 3% discount for uncollectible amounts;

(ix) Purchaser will receive a credit for all accrued and unpaid obligations of Seller and Manager under Manager’s salary and employee benefits arrangements in place as of the Closing for employees at the Property, including without limitation, unemployment compensation benefits, salaries, bonuses, sick leave, vacation and other similar forms of compensation up to the date of the Closing, including all employer taxes and benefits associated with vacation and sick pay pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Management Agreement;

(x) general real estate taxes, personal property taxes, special assessments and other governmental taxes and charges relating to the Property (collectively, “Real Estate Taxes”) and assessed for the year in which Closing occurs shall be prorated as of the Date of Closing and adjusted against the Purchase Price. If Closing occurs before the actual Real Estate Taxes payable during such year are known, the proration of Real Estate Taxes shall be upon the basis of Real Estate Taxes payable during the immediately preceding year; provided, however, that, if the Real Estate Taxes payable during the year in which Closing occurs are thereafter determined to be more or less than the Real Estate Taxes payable during the preceding year (after conclusion of any pertinent appeal of assessed valuation, as reasonably determined by Purchaser), Seller and Purchaser promptly (but no later than thirty (30) days after the date final invoices for such Real Estate Taxes are issued by the applicable taxing authority(ies), except in the case of an ongoing tax protest) shall adjust the proration of Real Estate Taxes, and Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall pay to the other any amount required as a result of such adjustment;

(xi) certified governmental liens and all other pending governmental liens shall be paid by Seller;

(xii) the parties acknowledge that certain taxes accrue and are payable to the various local governments by any business entity operating a hotel and its related facilities. Included in those taxes may be business and occupation taxes, retail sales and use taxes, gross receipts taxes, and other special lodging or hotel taxes. For purpose of this Agreement, all of such taxes (hereinafter referred to as “Operational Taxes”) (expressly excluding Real Estate Taxes, corporate franchise taxes, and federal, state, and local income taxes) shall be allocated between Seller and Purchaser such that those attributable to the period prior to 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date shall be allocable to Seller and those attributable to the period from and after 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date shall be to Purchaser (with the attribution of such taxes hereunder to be done in a manner consistent with the attribution under this Agreement of the applicable revenues on which such taxes may be based). Purchaser shall receive a credit for any Operational Taxes attributable to the period prior to 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date which Seller has not paid. Except for the Operational Taxes for which Purchaser has received a credit under this subsection (xii), Seller shall be solely responsible for payment of the Operational Taxes with respect to the period prior to 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date, and Purchaser shall be solely responsible for payment of such Operational Taxes with respect to the period after 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date. Nothing in this subsection (xii) shall limit Seller’s obligation to deliver such notices,

certificates or releases with respect to withholding requirements or other liabilities for income, sales, or other taxes attributable to Seller’s period of ownership, to the extent Purchaser may be held liable therefor under the laws of the State of Texas. Seller hereby agrees to indemnify, save and defend, and hold Purchaser harmless from and against, all claims and liabilities for Operational Taxes attributable to the period prior to 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date for which Purchaser has not received a credit, and Purchaser agrees to indemnify, save and defend, and hold Seller harmless from and against, all claims and liabilities for Operational Taxes attributable to the period prior to 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date and for which Purchaser has received a credit under this subsection (xii). Seller agrees to promptly notify the appropriate governmental parties of the Closing hereunder and promptly provide such information as necessary to make a final determination of Seller’s liability for Operational Taxes;

(xiii) telephone and telex charges and charges for the supply of heat, steam, electric power, gas, lighting, cable television and any other utility service shall be prorated as of the Apportionment Time between Purchaser and Seller. Seller shall receive a credit for all deposits, if any, made by Seller as security under any such public service contracts if the same are transferable and provided such deposits remain on deposit for the benefit of Purchaser. Where possible, cutoff readings will be secured for all utilities as of the Closing Date. To the extent cutoff readings are not available, the cost of such utilities shall be apportioned between the parties on the basis of the latest actual (not estimated) ▇▇▇▇ for such service;

(xiv) permit and license fees of assignable permits and licenses, if any, shall be prorated as of the Closing Date;

(xv) Purchaser shall receive a credit for the face value of all unredeemed gift certificates issued by Seller or Manager as of the Closing Date;

(xvi) Purchaser shall receive a credit for advance payments and deposits, if any, under Advances at the Closing Date;

(xvii) Seller shall receive a credit for prepaid expenses directly or indirectly allocable to any period from and after the Closing Date paid by or on behalf of Seller to third parties to the extent the same are transferable and remain on deposit for the benefit of Purchaser. With the exception of prepaid advertising which has not been published, mailed or aired, the Seller will receive no credit for prepaid advertising costs;

(xviii) All unpaid rent accruing under the Ground Leases prior to 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date occurs shall be allocated to the Seller, and all unpaid rent accruing under the Ground Leases after 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date shall be allocated to Purchaser. Seller shall be credited and Purchaser shall be debited for any fee or other amount prepaid by Seller under the Ground Leases to the extent such fee or other amount accrues after 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date. Seller shall be credited and Purchaser shall be debited for all deposits and other amounts owned by Owner and held by the lessors of the Ground Leases or any other party in connection with the Ground Leases.

(xix) any amounts prepaid or payable under any Contracts and any other trade payables and receivables shall be prorated as of the Closing Date between Purchaser and Seller.

Trade payables should include all amounts payable to Manager. All amounts known to be due under Contracts with reference to periods prior to the Closing Date shall be paid by Seller or credited to Purchaser. Any additional amounts not known or not available at the Closing will be part of the post closing adjustments contemplated in Section 9.1(a) above;

(xx) all working capital relating to the Property as of the Closing Date shall be and remain the property of the Seller and shall not be conveyed to the Purchaser. Purchaser shall be solely responsible for funding the working capital for the Property required by the Management Agreement; and

(xxi) other costs, expenses and charges which are of a type as are usually involved in and adjusted with regard to property similar to and located in the locale of the Property.

(c) Prorations hereunder shall, where applicable, be made on the basis of a 365 day year and, for any month, on the basis of the number of days elapsed. If any of the foregoing cannot be apportioned at the Closing because of the unavailability of the amounts which are to be prorated, unless otherwise provided for herein, such items shall be prorated as soon as practicable after the Closing Date.

9.2 Closing Costs. Seller shall be responsible for and pay all costs and expenses associated with recording fees and real estate transfer taxes and sales taxes. Each party shall pay its own attorneys’ fees and costs in connection with this transaction. Title Company’s fee for the escrow shall be divided equally between Seller and Purchaser.

9.3 Survival. The obligations of the parties under this Section 9 shall survive Closing.

SECTION 10. CASUALTY, CONDEMNATION, LITIGATION AND RISK OF LOSS.

10.1 Notice to Purchaser. Seller agrees to give Purchaser prompt notice (a) of any pending or threatened condemnation affecting the Property of which Seller becomes aware, (b) if all or any part of the Property becomes subject to litigation or if Owner or Tenant becomes subject to litigation that would affect Seller’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement, and (c) of any Damage Event.

10.2 Condemnation or Litigation. If, prior to the Closing, (a) condemnation proceedings are commenced or threatened in writing against all or any portion of the Property (other than an incidental condemnation that does not affect the operation of or access to the Property); or (b) if all or any part of the Property becomes subject to litigation that, if adversely determined, would materially and adversely affect the use or value of the Property to Purchaser or if Owner or Tenant becomes subject to litigation that would materially and adversely impair Seller’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement, then Purchaser will have the right, upon notice in writing to Seller delivered within ten (10) days after Seller gives Purchaser written notice of such matter as described in this Section 10, to terminate this Agreement, whereupon this Agreement will be of no further force or effect, except as expressly set forth herein. If Purchaser does not elect, or is not entitled, to terminate this Agreement, Purchaser will

be entitled to the condemnation award and/or an assignment of all of Seller’s rights in and to such condemnation and/or litigation proceedings (to the extent that any such litigation relates to the physical condition of the Property and not to Seller and not to the operations of the Property prior to the Closing), as the case may be.

10.3 Damage Events. If, prior to the Closing, the Property is damaged by fire or other casualty or any operational component of the Property (such as, by way of example only, an operational component would include respective constituent parts of the elevator system, the heating, air-conditioning and ventilating system or the roof) fails for any reason, including wear and tear or age (collectively, a “Damage Event”) then Purchaser will have the following rights with respect to each such Damage Event:

(a) $2,500,000 and Above. If the cost of repairing and/or replacing the portion of the Property affected by such Damage Event will be $2,500,000.00 or more (as determined by an architect or general contractor mutually acceptable to Purchaser and Seller), then Purchaser will have the right, upon notice in writing to Seller delivered within ten (10) days after Seller gives Purchaser written notice of such Damage Event, to: (i) receive a credit at Closing in an amount equal to any and all insurance policy deductibles applicable to Seller in connection with such Damage Event, and receive an assignment of Owner’s and Tenant’s rights to insurance proceeds, if any (and Seller will cooperate with Purchaser to ascertain within the ten (10) day period described above whether and to what extent such insurance will apply to the Damage Event); provided, however, that if Purchaser receives insurance proceeds in excess of the amount necessary to repair or replace such portion of the Property affected by the Damage Event (taking into account the credit received at the Closing), Purchaser will refund any such excess insurance proceeds to Owner; or (ii) terminate this Agreement.

(b) Under $2,500,000. If the cost of repairing and/or replacing the portion of the Property affected by such Damage Event will be less than $2,500,000.00 (as determined by an architect or general contractor mutually acceptable to Purchaser and Seller), then the following will apply: (i) if as a result of the Damage Event, the Property cannot be or is not operated in accordance with historical standards (such as, for example, the Property is not open to the public or access to the Property (whether for pedestrians or vehicles) is materially impaired, then Seller shall repair and/or replace the portion of the Property affected by such Damage Event and the Closing will be delayed until the fifth (5th) Business Day following date that the Property is again operated in accordance with historical standards; provided, however, that such delay in the Closing Date will not exceed ninety (90) days, and if such delay exceeds ninety (90) days, Purchaser will have the option, upon notice in writing to Seller delivered within ten (10) days after the expiration of such ninety (90) day period, to terminate this Agreement; or (ii) if, after such Damage Event, the Property continues to be operated in a manner consistent with historical standards, then at Seller’s election, Seller can either (A) repair and/or replace the portion of the Property affected by such Damage Event and extend the Closing Date until the date that is five (5) Business Days following the date that Seller completes such repair and/or such replacement (provided, however, such delay in the Closing Date will not exceed ninety (90) days, and if such delay exceeds ninety (90) days, Purchaser will have the option, upon notice in writing to Seller delivered within ten (10) days after the expiration of such ninety (90) day period, to terminate this Agreement) or (B) proceed to the Closing and provide Purchaser with a credit at the Closing in the amount necessary to repair and/or replace the portion of the Property affected by the

Damage Event, as such amount is determined by an architect or general contractor mutually acceptable to Purchaser and Seller.

10.4 Arbitration. In the event of any dispute under Section 10.3 of this Agreement concerning the selection of an architect or engineer, either party shall have the right to submit such dispute to arbitration in the City of New York under the Expedited Procedures provisions of the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) (presently Rules 56 through 60 and, to the extent applicable, Section 19); provided, however, that with respect to any such arbitration, (i) the list of arbitrators referred to in Rule 57 shall be returned within 5 days from the date of mailing; (ii) the parties shall notify the AAA by telephone, within 4 days of any objections to the arbitrator appointed and will have no right to object if the arbitrator so appointed was on the list submitted by the AAA and was not objected to in accordance with the second paragraph of Rule 57; (iii) the Notice of Hearing referred to in Rule 58 shall be 4 days in advance of the hearing; (iv) the hearing shall be held within 5 days after the appointment of the arbitrator; (v) except as set forth in the next grammatical paragraph, the arbitrator shall have no right to award damages; and (vi) the decision and award of the arbitrator shall be final and conclusive on the parties. THE TIME PERIODS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 10.4 ARE OF THE ESSENCE. If any party fails to appear at a duly scheduled and noticed hearing, the arbitrator is hereby expressly authorized to enter judgment for the appearing party.

The arbitrators conducting any arbitration shall be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and shall not have the power to add to, subtract from, or otherwise modify such provisions. Seller and Purchaser agree to sign all documents and to do all other things necessary to submit any such matter to arbitration and further agree to, and hereby do, waive any and all rights they or either of them may at any time have to revoke their agreement hereunder to submit to arbitration and to abide by the decision rendered thereunder which shall be binding and conclusive on the parties and shall constitute an “award” by the arbitrator within the meaning of the AAA rules and applicable law. Judgment may be had on the decision and award of the arbitrators so rendered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each arbitrator shall be a qualified, disinterested and impartial person who shall have had at least 10 years experience in a calling connected with the matter of the dispute. Seller and Purchaser shall each have the right to appear and be represented by counsel before said arbitrators and to submit such data and memoranda in support of their respective positions in the matter in dispute as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate under the circumstances. Each party hereunder shall pay its own costs, fees and expenses in connection with any arbitration or other action or proceeding brought under this Section 10.4, and the expenses and fees of the arbitrators selected shall be shared equally by Seller and Purchaser. Notwithstanding any contrary provisions hereof, Seller and Purchaser agree that, except with respect to a finding that consent was withheld arbitrarily or in bad faith, (i) the arbitrators may not award or recommend any damages to be paid by either party and (ii) in no event shall either party be liable for, nor shall either party be entitled to recover, any damages. Neither party shall have ex parte communications with any arbitrator selected under this Section 10.4 following his or her selection and pending completion of the arbitration hereunder.

10.5 Termination by Purchaser. In the case of any termination by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 10, Purchaser shall be entitled to the return of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money and this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect, except as expressly set forth herein.

10.6 Risk of Loss. Subject to the provisions of this Section 10, the risk of loss or damage to the Property will remain with Seller until the Closing.

SECTION 11. DEFAULT.

11.1 Default by Seller. If (i) Seller shall default in any of its material obligations to be performed on the Closing Date or (ii) Seller shall default in the performance of any of its material obligations to be performed prior to the Closing Date and, with respect to any default under this clause (ii) only, such default shall continue for 5 days after notice to Seller, Purchaser shall have the right to elect, as its sole remedies, to (A) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, promptly after which the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money shall be returned to Purchaser (provided Purchaser is not in default in any material respect hereunder), and Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for its actual, reasonable, third-party costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement, not to exceed $500,000 in the aggregate, (B) waive the condition and proceed to close the transaction, or (C) seek specific performance of this Agreement by Seller and Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for its actual, reasonable, third-party costs and expenses incurred in enforcing such remedy; provided, however, that as a condition precedent to Purchaser exercising any right it may have to bring an action for specific performance as the result of Seller’s failure or refusal to perform its obligations hereunder, Purchaser must commence such an action within sixty (60) days after Purchaser has Knowledge of such default. Purchaser agrees that its failure to timely commence such an action for specific performance within such sixty (60) day period shall be deemed a waiver by it of its right to commence such an action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller or the sellers under any Related Agreement intentionally breaches or intentionally fails to take an action solely within the control of Seller or such other seller(s) that Seller or such other seller(s) is/are obligated to take under this Agreement or any Related Agreement and as a result thereof Purchaser’s ability to close the transaction contemplated under this Agreement or any Related Agreement is materially impaired, Purchaser shall have the right to commence a suit against Seller and/or such other seller(s) for monetary damages in an amount not to exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) in the aggregate, as liquidated damages, it being understood that Purchaser’s actual damages in the event of such default are difficult to ascertain and that such proceeds represent the parties’ best current estimate of such.

deliver the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money to Seller, the amount thereof being fixed as liquidated damages, it being understood that Seller’s actual damages in the event of such default are difficult to ascertain and that such proceeds represent the parties’ best current estimate of such. Seller shall have no other remedy for any other default by Purchaser.

11.3 Representations and Warranties; No Consequential Damages. Seller shall have no liability to Purchaser for a breach of any representation or warranty unless the valid claims for all such breaches collectively aggregate more than $100,000.00, in which event the full amount of such valid claims shall be actionable (except with respect to any breach resulting from the intentional action or failure to act (where there is a duty to act) of Owner or Tenant, in which event the full amount of such valid claims shall be actionable, regardless of the aggregate cost), provided, however, that Purchaser hereby agrees that the maximum aggregate liability of Seller and the other sellers under the Related Agreements, in connection with, arising out of or in any way related to a breach by Seller or such related sellers under this Agreement, the Related Agreements or any document or conveyance agreement in connection with a breach of Seller’s Property Representations under this Agreement or the Related Agreements after the Closing shall be $2,500,000 plus Purchaser’s actual and reasonable third-party costs and expenses incurred in enforcing such remedy, not to exceed $500,000 (less any amounts previously reimbursed by the sellers under one or more of the Related Agreements for the actual, reasonable, third party costs and expenses of the purchasers thereunder), in the aggregate. Purchaser hereby waives for itself and anyone who may claim by, through or under Purchaser any and all rights to ▇▇▇ or recover from Seller any amount greater than said limit.

SECTION 12. MISCELLANEOUS.

12.1 Agreement to Indemnify. Subject to any express provisions of this Agreement to the contrary (including, without limitation, Section 2.5), from and after the Closing, (i) Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and any partner, member, manager, officer, director, trustee, beneficiary, employee or agent of Purchaser (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnitees”) from and against any and all obligations, claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements) to the extent arising out of (A) events or contractual obligations, acts, or omissions of Owner or Tenant that occurred in connection with the ownership or operation of the Property prior to the Closing Date and for which Purchaser did not receive a credit at Closing in the full amount of such liability, (B) any damage to property or injury to or death of any person occurring on or about or in connection with the Property or any portion thereof at any time or times prior to the Closing Date for which Owner, Tenant or Manager did not have adequate

insurance on the date of Closing, or (C) subject to the limitations set forth herein, a breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller hereunder or in any certificate delivered by Seller hereunder, and (ii) Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and any partner, member, manager, officer, director, trustee, beneficiary, employee or agent of Seller (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) from and against any and all obligations, claims, losses, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements) to the extent arising out of (A) events, contractual obligations, acts or omissions of Purchaser for which Purchaser did receive a credit at Closing in the full amount of such liability that occur in connection with the ownership or operation of the Property on or after the Closing Date, or (B) any damage to property or injury to or death of any person occurring on or about the Property or any portion thereof on or at any time or times after the Closing Date, or (C) subject to the limitations set forth herein, a breach of any representation or warranty made by Purchaser hereunder or in any certificate delivered by Purchaser hereunder. The provisions of this Section 12.1 shall survive the Closing and the termination of this Agreement.

12.2 Indemnification Procedure for Third Party Claims. In the case of any claim asserted by a third party which claim is subject to indemnification by the either party hereunder, (a “Third-Party Claim”), the party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnitee”) shall notify the other party (the “Indemnitor”) promptly after has actual knowledge of any such Third-Party Claim as to which indemnity may be sought (provided that failure to so notify shall not affect the Indemnitor’s obligations hereunder except to the extent materially prejudiced by such failure), and Indemnitee shall permit the Indemnitor, at its sole expense, to assume the defense of any such Third-Party Claim, provided that Indemnitee may participate in such defense or administration at Indemnitee’s sole expense (provided, however, that if a conflict of interest exists such that separate counsel must be engaged by Indemnitee and the Indemnitor, the Indemnitor shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and costs for such counsel for Indemnitee). The Indemnitor, in the defense of any such Third-Party Claim, shall not, except with the consent of Indemnitee, which Indemnitee agrees will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed with respect to a monetary settlement, judgment or relief, (a) consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that provides for injunctive or other non-monetary relief against Indemnitee or (b) pursue any course of defense of any such Third-Party Claim subject to indemnification hereunder if Indemnitee shall reasonably and in good faith determine that the conduct of such defense could be expected to adversely affect in any material respect Indemnitee, its direct or indirect owners, the use of the Property or Interest to which the Third-Party Claim relates. In addition, if the Indemnitor obtains and desires to accept from a party to any such Third-Party Claim an offer to settle the Third-Party Claim solely for an amount certain, then Indemnitee agrees that if requested by the Indemnitor, Indemnitee will, at its sole expense, assume defense of such Third-Party Claim and thereafter the Indemnitor’s obligation with respect to such Third-Party Claim shall not exceed the costs of defense then incurred and the dollar amount of the settlement the Indemnitor proposed to accept immediately prior to such assumption by Indemnitee, it being agreed between Indemnitee and the Indemnitor that Indemnitee will pay any greater amounts owing and bear any other impositions in excess of those contemplated in the proposed settlement arrangement. In the event that the Indemnitor does not accept the defense of any matter as above provided, Indemnitee shall have the full right to defend against any such Third-Party Claim or demand and shall be entitled to settle or agree to pay in full such Third-Party Claim or demand, in its sole discretion. In any event, the Indemnitor and Indemnitee shall cooperate in the defense of any action or claim subject to this Agreement

and each agrees to make its records available to the other with respect to such defense as reasonably requested and to the extent doing so does not compromise any claim of privilege or any other defense available to it. Acceptance of the defense of any Third-Party Claim or of the administration of any Third-Party Claim by the Indemnitor shall be without prejudice to the Indemnitor’s right to assert at any time before or after accepting such defense or administration that it is not obligated to provide an indemnity, either in whole or in part, with respect to such Third-Party Claim. In the event that the Indemnitor asserts that it is not obligated to provide an indemnity to Indemnitee with respect to a Third-Party Claim, Indemnitee shall have the right to defend such Third-Party Claim, and if the Indemnitor is adjudicated liable for indemnifying Indemnitee, the Indemnitor shall reimburse Indemnitee for its out-of-pocket expenses in defending such Third-Party Claim and all settlements and judgments reasonably incurred as a result of such Third-Party Claim.

12.3 Brokerage Commissions. Each party hereto represents and warrants to the other that it has dealt with no brokers or finders in connection with this transaction, other than Eastdil Realty (the “Broker”). Seller agrees to pay any commission or other compensation due the Broker in accordance with a separate written agreement with the Broker. The foregoing sentence is not intended to create any third party beneficiary rights. Seller and Purchaser each hereby indemnify, protect and defend and hold the other and, as applicable, the Seller Indemnitees or Purchaser Indemnitees, harmless from and against all losses, claims, costs, expenses, damages (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees of counsel selected by the indemnified party) resulting from the claims of any broker, finder, or other such party claiming by, through or under the acts or agreements of the indemnifying party, other than the Broker. Seller hereby indemnifies, protects and defends and holds Purchaser and the Purchaser Indemnitees harmless from and against all losses, claims, costs, expenses, damages (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees of counsel selected by the indemnified party) resulting from the claims of Broker. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the obligations of the parties pursuant to this Section 12.4 shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.
