2.1 Purchase and Sale. The parties acknowledge and agree that
immediately prior to the purchase of the HdC Interests by Purchaser as
contemplated hereby the Replacement Debt shall be incurred by the Acquired
Entities, the proceeds of which shall be utilized in part to repay in full the
Existing Debt. Any proceeds from the Replacement Debt less the amount utilized
to repay the Existing Debt shall be distributed to the record owners of the HdC
Interests and all remaining equity interests in HdC Parent and North Beach
Developer at such time in accordance with the terms of the HdC Venture
Agreement; provided, however, the proceeds of the Replacement Revolving Debt
shall only be utilized to repay the then outstanding balance of the revolving
loan facility included as part of the Existing Debt, it being understood and
agreed that the undrawn balance of the Replacement Revolving Debt shall
thereafter be utilized post-Closing for HdC working capital and related
purposes. Immediately following such distribution, Purchaser shall purchase the
HdC Interests. The aggregate purchase price for the HdC Interests (the "HdC
Interest Purchase Price") shall be equal to the amount by which Sellers'
Adjusted Imputed Equity Amount exceeds the aggregate principal sum of all
Replacement Secured Debt proceeds disbursed to Sellers at Closing. The parties
acknowledge and agree that it is the intent of the parties hereto that
immediately following Closing Purchaser and its Designees (as defined below)
shall own directly or indirectly 100% of equity interests in the Acquired
Entities in the aggregate, as depicted on Schedule 2.1
2.2 Working Capital Adjustment.
(a) At Closing, Seller's Unadjusted Imputed Equity Amount shall be
increased or decreased, as the case may be, on a dollar-for-dollar basis by 50%
of the amount by which the Estimated Working Capital is greater or less than the
Reference Working Capital Amount.
(b) (i) As soon as practicable (but in any event at least five (5)
days prior to Closing), Purchaser's Representative shall prepare and deliver to
Sellers an estimated calculation as of the Closing, of the Reference Working
Capital (the "Estimated Working Capital"). Such calculation of the Estimated
Working Capital is referred to herein as the "Estimated Working Capital Closing
Statement"). The Estimated Working Capital Closing Statement shall be prepared
in conformity with the definition of Reference Working Capital and Schedule 2.2
hereto; provided, however, the Reference Working Capital shall not be reduced
for any amount which reduces the Purchase Price under Section 2.3.
(ii) As soon as practicable following the Closing, Purchaser's
Representative shall prepare a statement of the Reference Working Capital as of
the Closing Date (the "Draft Working Capital Closing Statement"). The Draft
Working Capital Closing Statement shall be prepared in conformity with the
definition of Reference Working Capital and Schedule 2.2 hereto. Purchaser's
Representative will deliver the Draft Working Capital Closing Statement to the
Sellers not later than sixty (60) days following the Closing Date.
11
(iii) The Draft Working Capital Closing Statement shall be final and
binding upon the parties, and shall be deemed to be the Working Capital Closing
Statement, unless, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Draft Working
Capital Closing Statement from Purchaser's Representative, Sellers shall provide
to the Purchaser's Representative a report indicating its objections, if any, to
the Draft Working Capital Closing Statement. Any such objections shall be set
forth in reasonable detail in a report (the "Purchaser's Report") that shall
indicate the grounds upon which Sellers dispute the Purchaser's Representative's
calculation of the Draft Working Capital Closing Statement. Sellers shall
provide the Purchaser's Representative full access, during normal business
hours, to the books and records of the Acquired Entities and to the Acquired
Entities' personnel and accountants in connection with the Purchaser's
Representative's preparation of the Working Capital Closing Statement and any
other matter under this Section 2.2.
(iv) Within thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Purchaser's
Representative's of the Purchaser's Report, the Purchaser's Representative and
Sellers shall endeavor in good faith to agree on any matters in dispute.
(v) If Sellers and the Purchaser's Representative are unable to
agree on any matters in dispute within thirty (30) days after receipt by
Purchaser of the Purchaser's Report, the matters in dispute (and only such
matters) will be submitted for resolution to an independent accounting firm of
national reputation (other than Sellers' or Purchaser's accounting firms ) as
may be mutually acceptable to Sellers and Purchaser's Representative (and if
such parties cannot agree, by lottery selection of the other acounting firms of
national reputation designated by Sellers) (the "Independent Accounting Firm"),
which Independent Accounting Firm shall, within thirty (30) days after such
submission, determine and issue a written report to the Purchaser's
Representative and Sellers regarding such disputed items and such written
decision shall be final and binding upon the parties. Purchaser's Representative
and Sellers shall cooperate with each other and each other's representatives to
enable the Independent Accounting Firm to render a written decision as promptly
as possible. The fees and disbursements of the Independent Accounting Firm shall
be borne equally by Purchaser, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand,
with one party reimbursing the other, if necessary, following such
determination.
(vi) The working capital statement incorporating the resolution of
matters in dispute with respect to Reference Working Capital (or, if a
Purchaser's Report is not provided within the time prescribed in Section
2.2(b)(ii), the Draft Working Capital Closing Statement) is referred to as the
"Working Capital Closing Statement." The Working Capital Closing Statement shall
have the legal effect of an arbitral award and shall be final, binding and
conclusive on the Parties.
(vii) In acting under this Agreement, the Independent Accounting
Firm shall be entitled to the privileges and immunities of arbitrators.
(viii) If the value of the Reference Working Capital calculated by
reference to the Working Capital Closing Statement (the "Closing Working
Capital") is less than an amount equal to the value of the Reference Working
Capital calculated by reference to the Estimated Working Capital Closing
Statement, the Unadjusted Gross Purchase Price shall be
12
reduced by an amount equal to such shortfall (the "Working Capital Reduction").
Subject to Section 2.2(b)(x), Sellers, severally and not jointly, pro rata in
proportion to their Percentage Share, shall pay to Purchaser the amount of the
Working Capital Reduction. If the value of the Reference Working Capital
calculated by reference to the Working Capital Closing Statement (the "Closing
Working Capital") is greater than an amount equal to the value of the Reference
Working Capital calculated by reference to the Estimated Working Capital Closing
Statement, the Unadjusted Gross Purchase Price shall be increased by an amount
equal to such excess (the "Working Capital Increase"). Subject to Section
2.2(b)(x), Purchaser shall pay to Sellers the amount of the Working Capital
Increase.
(ix) Any payments to be made pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(viii) shall
be made in cash within ten (10) days after the date of receipt by Purchaser and
Sellers' Representative of the Working Capital Closing Statement as finally
established pursuant to this Section 2.2(b).
(x) Any amount payable under Section 2.2(b)(viii) by Purchaser
shall be equal to 50% of the Working Capital Increase. Any amount payable by
Sellers pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be equal to 50% of the Working
Capital Reduction, which amount shall be paid by Sellers (pro rata in accordance
to their Percentage Share).
2.3 Other Closing Adjustments; Cash; Transaction Expenses.
(a) At the Closing, and in addition to the adjustments
contemplated by Section 2.2, Sellers' Unadjusted Imputed Equity Amount shall be
increased by 50% of the value of the existing Libor cap heretofore obtained by
the parties pursuant to the Existing Loan Documents and the North Beach and Spa
and Beachclub Capex Amount as certified to Sellers and Purchaser by KSL DC
Development Management, LLC at Closing (the "North Beach and Spa and Beachclub
Capex Certification").
(b) The parties acknowledge and agree that Sellers and/or HdC
Parent may at any time prior to Closing cause the Acquired Entities to
distribute all or any portion of the cash, restricted cash or reserves held by
any of them to such Acquired Entities' constituent members, partners or
shareholders (as the case may be); provided, however, if and to the extent such
amounts are not distributed prior to Closing, such undistributed amounts shall
be added to and reflected on the Working Capital Closing Statement as an
increase in Reference Working Capital.
(c) The parties acknowledge that all costs and fees incurred in
connection with the Replacement Debt and North Beach Loan (if applicable) shall
be paid by the Acquired Entities immediately following Closing and shall in no
event be a liability or obligation os Sellers. The parties further agree that
the fees owing to Sellers' advisor, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ & Co., and all Common
Transaction Costs and shall be paid 50% by Purchaser and 50% by Sellers (pro
rata based upon their Percentage Share).
2.4 Purchase Price Allocation. Purchaser and Sellers agree to
negotiate in good faith, for each transferred HdC Interest, the portion of the
HdC Interest Purchase Price allocable thereto (with respect to such transferred
HdC Interest, the "Allocated HdC Interest
13
Unadjusted Price"), prior to the Termination Time (as defined in the SCH
Agreement). Upon such agreement, such allocation shall be attached to this
Agreement as Schedule 2.4. Purchaser, Sellers and each of their Affiliates,
shall file all Tax Returns, consistent with the Allocated HdC Interest
Unadjusted Price for each transferred HdC Interest adjusted to take into account
the applicable Seller's Percentage Share of purchase price adjustments
contemplated by this Articles II, IX, and X (as so adjusted, the "Allocated HdC
Interest Adjusted Price").
2.5 Designees.
(a) At the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, at the direction of Purchaser, the Sellers will sell, transfer,
convey, assign and deliver to one or more third parties designated by Purchaser
pursuant to the SHC Agreement (individually a "Designee" and collectively, the
"Designees") all or any part of the HdC Interests, as specified in writing by
Purchaser to Sellers at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing. At
the Closing, each Designee shall acknowledge to Sellers in writing that except
as otherwise provided in Section 10.1(a), (i) Designee has no contractual or
legal rights under and is not an intended or incidental beneficiary of this
Agreement; (ii) such conveyance or creates no privity between Designee and

and Sellers make no representations or warranties of any nature whatsoever to or
for the benefit of Designee; and (iv) Designee will direct and pursue any and
all claims and assert any rights whatsoever arising from such transactions
solely against Purchaser, and not against Sellers. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any payment received by Sellers from a Designee shall be deemed made
by and on behalf of such Designee.
(b) Sellers have made certain representations, warranties and
covenants to, and have agreed to certain indemnification of, Purchaser in this
Agreement, and Sellers agree that Purchaser shall in all events have the right
to rely upon Sellers' representations and agreement to indemnify in making its
own representations, warranties, covenants and indemnifications to a Designee
(including, without limitation, SHC or any Affiliate thereof), but with the
understanding that no Designee, nor SHC or its Affiliates, shall be deemed a
third party beneficiary of Sellers' representations, warranties, covenants and
indemnifications hereunder except as otherwise expressly provided in Section
10.1(a). To the extent that any breach by Purchaser of a representation,
warranty or covenant that it makes to a Designee is caused by the inaccuracy,
untruth or unfulfillment of the Sellers' representations, warranties or
covenants (a "Breach"), Purchaser shall have the following rights and remedies:
(i) to bring against Sellers a claim for indemnification and
institute litigation to enforce such claim, to the same extent as made by the
Designee against Purchaser (to the full extent permitted in, and subject to the
limitations of, this Agreement) (a "Mirror Claim"); and
(ii) to seek as damages in the Mirror Claim, all Losses of
the Designee arising from the Mirror Claim (to the full extent permitted in, and
subject to the limitations of, this Agreement and the SHC Agreement).
14
Sellers acknowledge and agree that any Mirror Claims are subject to
indemnification as provided herein by Sellers to Purchaser and except as
otherwise expressly provided herein Sellers waive any defense based upon any
claim that Purchaser has not suffered Losses or does not have the requisite
standing to institute against the Seller any claim underlying the Mirror Claim.
2.6 SHC Deposit. Sellers and Purchaser agree that if the transaction
contemplated by the SHC Agreement is terminated prior to its consummation, and
SHC forfeits all or any portion of the Deposit (as defined in the SHC Agreement)
in connection with such termination, the Sellers, on the one hand, and
Purchaser, on the other hand, shall each be entitled to one half of such Deposit
actually received by Purchaser.

other commitment (whether or not legally binding) relating to a Competing
Transaction or solicit, initiate or encourage the submission of any proposal or
offer from any Person relating to any Competing Transaction, nor participate in

information with respect to, or otherwise cooperate in any way with, or assist
or participate in, facilitate or encourage, any effort or attempt by any other
Person to effect a Competing Transaction.
7.11 Liquor Licenses. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Sellers
or their Affiliates shall cooperate with Purchaser and Manager to transfer or
cause to be transferred to Replacement Manager (as defined in the SHC
Agreement), if Purchaser so elects and at Purchaser's expense, all alcoholic
beverage licenses held by Manager with respect to the operation of the
restaurant, bars and lounges presently located within the Hotel (and,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or elsewhere, to the extent that
Applicable Laws prohibit the transfer of any portion of Inventory connected with
the same, the transfer of Inventory shall be appropriately limited or reduced as
necessary to comply with such Applicable Laws without otherwise delaying Closing
or reducing the HdC Interest Purchase Price, and such matters shall in no event
constitute any breach or default by Sellers or any failure of a condition
hereunder). If permitted under Applicable Law, such parties shall execute or
cause to be executed and file all necessary transfer or notification forms,
applications, questionnaires and other documents with the appropriate alcoholic
beverage
26
authorities prior to Closing, to the end that the transfer or continuance of the
existing licenses (and/or such related Inventory) or any applicable Acquired
Entity obtaining new licenses (if Purchaser so elects at its expense) shall take
effect, if possible, on the Closing Date, simultaneously with Closing. If not so
permitted or possible, then the parties agree each with the other that they will
promptly execute or cause to be executed all transfer or notification forms,
applications, questionnaires and other documents required by the liquor
authorities in order to effect such transfer or continuation of existing
licenses or issuance of new licenses at the earliest date in time possible
consistent with Applicable Law, in order that all existing alcoholic beverage
licenses (and/or such related Inventory) may be transferred, continued or new
alcoholic beverage licenses issued to Purchaser or its designee at the earliest
possible time. Purchaser acknowledges that the transfer, continuation or
issuance to Purchaser or its designee of any existing or new alcoholic beverage
license (as the case may be) is not a condition of Purchaser's obligation to
proceed to Closing.
7.12. Waiver of Transfer Restrictions. Subject to and conditioned upon the
occurrence of the Closing on or prior to the Closing Date, each Seller hereby
waives (and shall cause its Affiliates to waive) any right to purchase the HdC

transactions contemplated by this Agreement including, without limitation, any
so-called "ROFO", "tag-along" or "put" rights.
7.13 Modification of SHC Agreement. Purchaser shall not amend or modify
the SHC Agreement without Sellers' prior written consent (not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed or waive any material condition or right therein); provided,
however, that in no event shall the forms of the Transaction Documents (as
defined in the SHC Agreement) or any amendments or modifications thereof be
subject to Sellers' approval or consent (it being understood that the terms and
conditions of such Transaction Documents address matters that are of concern
only to Sellers and SHC).
7.14. Pursuit of North Beach Project. Sellers and Purchaser shall cause
the applicable Acquired Entities to diligently pursue the North Beach Project
substantially in accordance with the North Beach Plan and Budget, and if funding
is necessary to do so and a loan is not obtained to fund the same, Purchaser and
CNL may elect to call for capital under the HdC Venture Agreement to fund the
same, in which event CNL shall be reimbursed for its contributions at Closing to
the extent provided in Section 2.3(a).

Sections 8.2, 8.3 or 8.4.

terminated by reason of the default of any party, the expenses referenced in
clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence shall be borne exclusively by the
defaulting party. The provisions of this Section 8.6 shall survive any
termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE IX

9.1 Fire or Other Casualty. Purchaser's Representative shall give
Sellers prompt notice of any fire or other casualty to HdC (or any portion
thereof) costing more than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) to
restore or repair, and the amount estimated by Purchaser's Representative as
being required to restore or repair same, and occurring between the Effective
Date and the Closing Date of which Purchaser's Representative has actual
knowledge. If the cost of such restoration or repair is less than Twenty-Five
Million Dollars ($25,000,000) (the "Casualty Threshold"), then no party shall
have the right to terminate its obligations under this Agreement by reason
thereof and the Closing shall take place without abatement of HdC Interest
Purchase Price, but Purchaser shall have the right to retain at the Closing all
of the Acquired Entities' interest in any insurance proceeds (except use and
occupancy insurance, rent loss and business interruption insurance, and any
similar insurance, in each case, for the period preceding the Closing Date) that
may be payable to Sellers or any Acquired Entity on account of any such fire or
other casualty, plus Sellers shall credit 50% of the amount of any deductibles
under any policies related to such proceeds to the HdC Interest Purchase Price,
to the extent such deductibles or proceeds have not been previously expended or
are otherwise required to reimburse Sellers or any Acquired Entity for actual
expenditures of restoration . If the cost of such restoration or repair equals
or exceeds the Casualty Threshold, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement upon
written notice to Sellers, in which event all other rights and obligations of
the parties hereunder (except those set forth herein which expressly survive a
termination of this Agreement) shall terminate immediately. Should Purchaser
nevertheless elect to proceed to Closing with respect to the HdC Interests, the
Closing shall take place without abatement of the HdC Purchase Price and at
Closing Sellers shall assign to Purchaser all of Sellers' interest in any
insurance proceeds (except use and occupancy insurance, rent loss and business
interruption insurance, and any similar insurance, in each case, for the period
preceding the Closing Date) that may be payable to Sellers or an Acquired Entity
on account of any such fire or other casualty, plus Sellers shall credit 50% of
the amount of any deductibles under any policies related to such proceeds to the
HdC Interest Purchase Price, to the extent such deductibles or proceeds have not
been previously expended or are otherwise required to reimburse Sellers or an
Acquired Entity for actual expenditures of restoration.
9.2 Condemnation. After the Effective Date, Purchaser's Representative
shall give Sellers prompt notice of any notice it actually receives (or actual
knowledge it otherwise obtains) of any taking by condemnation (actual, pending
or threatened) of any part of or rights appurtenant to the Real Property. If
such taking could reasonably be expected to result in a permanent loss of market
value of HdC in excess of the Casualty Threshold, Purchaser may terminate its
obligations under this Agreement by written notice to Sellers" Representative
within ten (10) days after Purchaser's Representative has given Sellers the
notice of taking
30
referred to in this Section 9.2, or on the Closing Date, whichever is earlier,
in which event ) all other rights and obligations of the parties hereunder
(except those set forth herein which expressly survive a termination of this
Agreement) shall terminate immediately. If Purchaser does not so elect to
terminate its obligations hereunder, then the Closing shall take place as
provided herein, and Sellers shall assign to Purchaser at the Closing all of
Seller's interest in any condemnation award which may be payable to Sellers or
any Acquired Entity (as the case may be) on account of any such condemnation
and, at Closing, Sellers shall credit to the amount of the Purchase Price
payable by Purchaser the amount, if any, of condemnation proceeds received by
Sellers or any Acquired Entity between the Effective Date and Closing less (i)
any amounts reasonably expended by Sellers or any Acquired Entity in collecting
such sums, (ii) any amounts reasonably used by Sellers or any Acquired Entity to
repair HdC as a result of such condemnation, and (iii) any amounts which are
reasonably allocated to lost earnings or other damages or losses (other than
unrepaired property damages) reasonably allocated or attributed to the period of
time prior to Closing. If, prior to the Closing, there shall occur a taking by
condemnation of any part of or rights appurtenant to HdC that does not result in
a permanent loss of market value of the Hotel in excess of the Casualty
Threshold, Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate its obligations under
this Agreement by reason thereof and the Closing shall take place without
abatement of the Purchase Price, but Sellers shall assign to Purchaser at the
Closing all of Sellers' interest in any condemnation award which may be payable
to Sellers or any Acquired Entity on account of any such condemnation and, at
Closing, Sellers shall credit to the amount of the HdC Purchase Price payable by
Purchaser the amount, if any, of condemnation proceeds received by Sellers or
any Acquired Entity between the Effective Date and Closing less (i) any amounts
reasonably expended by Sellers or any Acquired Entity in collecting such sums,
(ii) any amounts reasonably used by Sellers or any Acquired Entity to repair HdC
as a result of such condemnation, and (iii) any amounts which are reasonably
allocated to lost earnings or other damages or losses (other than unrepaired
property damages) reasonably allocated or attributed to the period of time prior
to Closing. Provided Purchaser has not exercised its right to terminate this
Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.2, Sellers' Representative 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.
ARTICLE X
DEFAULT; TERMINATION RIGHTS; INDEMNITY
10.1 Default by Sellers.
(a) If the Closing does not occur due to (i) any representation or
warranty of any Seller contained in Article III, being inaccurate in any
material respect when made or deemed made (without limiting the effect of
Section 6.5), or (ii) the failure or inability of any Seller to perform its
obligations hereunder in any material respect, which, in either case, is not
cured within fifteen (15) days after notice thereof from Purchaser (which
fifteen (15) day period shall, if necessary, automatically extend the Closing
Date to the expiration date of such fifteen (15) day period), and if
individually or in the aggregate, the Losses incurred by the Purchaser
Indemnified Parties resulting from such inaccuracies or nonperformances
described in clauses (i) and (ii) of this sentence reasonably would be expected
to exceed Five Million
31
Dollars ($5,000,000) (the "Threshold Amount"), so long as all conditions
precedent to Sellers' obligations hereunder have been satisfied (other than any
conditions precedent which are not satisfied due to the default by any Seller),
then Purchaser, as its sole and exclusive remedy, shall elect either (x) to
terminate this Agreement, and the provisions of Section 8.6 which expressly
survive a termination of this Agreement, and all other rights and obligations of
the parties hereunder (except those set forth in this clause (x)) shall
terminate immediately; (y) to irrevocably waive such default, nonperformance,
inaccuracy or breach and proceed to Closing with reduction in the HdC Interest
Purchase Price equal to the reasonably estimated Losses over and above the
Deductible (but in no event more than $4,000,000); or (z) to commence an action
for specific performance; provided, however, that the remedy of specific
performance shall be available to Purchaser only in the case of a willful
refusal to close by Sellers and in the event Purchaser files a suit for specific
performance within forty-five (45) days following the Closing Date, failing
which, Purchaser shall be barred from enforcing Sellers' obligations in such
manner and shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement pursuant
to clause (x). Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 2.5 to the
contrary, SHC shall be an express third party beneficiary of clause (z) of the
preceding sentence and shall be entitled to specifically enforce Sellers'
obligations as therein provided unless Purchaser has elected either of the
remedies set forth in clauses (x) ,(y) or (z) of the preceding sentence,
provided Purchaser would otherwise be obligated to close and SHC and Purchaser
are ready, willing and able to close under the SHC Agreement but for Sellers'
willful refusal to close hereunder. In the event that Purchaser elects to
terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause (x) above, Sellers may elect within
two (2) Business Days after receipt of Purchaser's notice to nullify Purchasers'
notice of termination by agreeing to reduce the HdC Interest Purchase Price by
the reasonably estimated Losses over and above the Deductible, whereupon
Purchaser shall be obligated to proceed to Closing.
(b) If (i) any representation or warranty of any Seller contained
in Article III shall be inaccurate in any material respect when made or deemed
made (without limiting the effect of Section 6.5), or (ii) any Seller defaults
in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement in any
material respect which are performable prior to Closing, and if the aggregate
Losses incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties resulting from such
inaccuracies or nonperformances described in clauses (i) and (ii) of this
sentence reasonably would not be expected to exceed the Threshold Amount, then,
assuming that all of the other conditions set forth in Section 6.1 have been
satisfied, and provided such inaccuracy or such default is not the result of any
intentional misconduct on the part of any Seller, Purchaser shall be obligated
to proceed to Closing with no reduction in the HdC Interest Purchase Price, and
Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedies with respect thereto shall be as
provided in Sections 10.3 and 10.4 (with the Losses incurred by the Purchaser
Indemnified Parties shall be carried forward and applied against the Deductible
with respect to Surviving Claims).
10.2 Default by Purchaser. If the Closing does not occur due to
Purchaser's failure or inability to perform any of its obligations hereunder in
any material respect, then Sellers, as their sole and exclusive remedy, shall
elect either: (x) to terminate this Agreement in which event (A) Sellers shall
retain their right to enforce the provisions of Section 8.6 which expressly
survive a termination of this Agreement, and (B) all other rights and
obligations of Sellers and Purchaser hereunder (except those referenced in
clause (A)) shall terminate
32
immediately; or (y) to waive such matter or condition and proceed to Closing; or
(z) to commence an action for specific performance; provided, however, that the
remedy of specific performance shall be available to Sellers only in the case of
a willful refusal to close by the Purchaser and in the event Sellers file a suit
for specific performance within forty-five (45) days following the Closing Date,
failing which, Sellers shall be barred from enforcing Purchaser obligations in
such manner and shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement
pursuant to clause (x).
10.3 Surviving Claims. Any claim for any breach or inaccuracy of a
representation or warranty made or contained (or deemed contained) in Article
III for which Section 10.1 expressly provides that this Section 10.3 shall
govern, shall survive Closing for twelve (12) months only as to the
representations and warranties made and contained (or deemed contained) in
Article III, after which such representations and warranties shall merge into
the Closing Documents (collectively, the "Surviving Representations"), except to
the extent that any such breach or inaccuracy has otherwise been waived pursuant
to Section 6.5, Section 10.1 or elsewhere in this Agreement. Any claim arising
out of a default in the performance by any Seller of its obligations under this
Agreement to be performed on or prior to Closing for which Section 10.1
expressly provides that this Section 10.3 shall govern shall survive Closing for
twelve (12) months only after which such obligations shall merge into the
Closing Documents (a "Surviving Covenant").
Any claim (a "Surviving Claim") arising out of (i) a breach of a Surviving
Representation or (ii) a default of a Surviving Covenant, shall be forever
barred unless Purchaser, as its sole and exclusive remedy for a Surviving Claim,
(a) no later than ten (10) days following the expiration of such twelve (12)
month survival period delivers to Sellers a written notice of the Surviving
Claim setting forth the basis for such Surviving Claim (including copies of any
summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on it and any
written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or
asserting same), and (b) no later than one (1) year following the Closing Date,
files a complaint or petition against the applicable Seller(s) alleging such
Surviving Claim in an appropriate Federal district or state court in Los Angeles
County, California. Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser's
exclusive remedies for any Surviving Claim shall be limited to the provisions
for indemnification set forth in Section 10.4, and Purchaser hereby waives and
relinquishes all other rights and remedies available to it at law, in equity or
otherwise (including, without limitation, the right to seek damages or equitable
relief from Sellers or their Affiliates on account thereof).
Purchaser acknowledges that if SHC provides Purchaser with a Diligence
Termination Notice (as defined in the SHC Agreement), Purchaser shall promptly
notify Sellers, and Purchaser and Sellers shall jointly consult as to whether
Purchaser shall provide a Diligence Cure Notice; provided that if Purchaser does
not elect to deliver the Diligence Cure Notice and make the corresponding
deposit into Escrow required under the penultimate paragraph of Section 2.7 of
the SHC Agreement to effect such cure, then Sellers in their sole and absolute
discretion shall have the right, but not the obligation, to do so on Purchaser's
behalf at Sellers' sole cost and expense.
The provisions of this Section 10.3 shall survive the Closing.
33
10.4 Indemnity.
(a) Subject to Section 10.3, effective upon the Closing, Sellers
shall jointly and severally indemnify Purchaser, their respective Affiliates and
its and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and
representatives (each a "Purchaser Indemnified Party") and hold each of them
harmless against any out-of-pocket damages, costs, liabilities, losses,
judgments, Taxes, penalties, fines, expenses or other costs, including
reasonable attorneys fees, costs of defense and costs of collection but not lost
profits, consequential damages or punitive damages (collectively, "Losses")
incurred by any such Purchaser Indemnified Parties with respect to any Surviving
Claim; provided, however, that (x) no amounts shall be payable by Sellers unless
and until the aggregate amount otherwise payable by Sellers in the absence of
this clause exceeds the sum of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the
"Deductible"), in which event Sellers shall be liable for the amount (if any) in
excess of the Deductible, and (y) in no event shall the amount payable by
Sellers under this Section 10.4(a) exceed, in the aggregate, Thirteen Million
Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($13,500,000).
(b) Purchaser shall indemnify and hold each Seller and its
Affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents
and representatives (each a "Seller Indemnified Party") and hold each of them
harmless against any Losses incurred by any such Seller Indemnified Party
arising from or relating to: (i) any breach of any of the representations and
warranties made by Purchaser in this Agreement; (ii) any breach of the covenants
and agreements made by Purchaser in this Agreement or any of the Closing
Documents; and (iii) any Losses or liabilities which have resulted in a
reduction of the HdC Interest Purchase Price under Article II or any other
provision of this Agreement .
(c) For all purposes of this Article X, "Losses" shall be net of
(i) any insurance (other than any self-insured retention program) or other
recoveries paid by a third-party to the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates in
connection with the facts, events or circumstances giving rise to the right of
indemnification and (ii) any net Tax benefit available to such Indemnified Party
or its Affiliates arising in connection with the accrual, incurrence or payment
of any such Losses (including the net present value of any Tax benefit arising
in subsequent taxable years).
10.5. Indemnification Procedures. Upon the occurrence of any event giving
rise to a claim for indemnification (an "Indemnification Claim") under any
provision of this Agreement or any Closing Document, the party seeking
indemnification (the "Indemnified Party") shall promptly notify the other party
(the "Indemnitor") of such Indemnification Claim and provide the Indemnitor with
copies of any documents describing or otherwise bearing on the subject matter of
such indemnification obligation; provided, however, that the failure to notify
Indemnitor shall not relieve Indemnitor from any liability which Indemnitor may
have under the Indemnification Claim except to the extent that it has been
materially prejudiced by such failure. Indemnitor shall be entitled to
participate in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in
respect of the Indemnification Claim and, to the extent that it wishes, assume
the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified
Party. After notice from the Indemnitor to the Indemnified Party of its election
to assume the defense of such claim, action, suit or proceeding, Indemnitor
shall not be liable to the Indemnified
34
Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified
Party in connection with the defense thereof except as provided in the following
sentence. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel
in any such claim, action, suit or proceeding and to participate in the defense
thereof but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the
Indemnified Party unless (i) the employment thereof has been specifically
authorized by the Indemnitor in writing, or (ii) there is, in the reasonable
opinion of independent counsel, a conflict concerning any material issue between
the position of the Indemnitor and the Indemnified Party, in which case if the
Indemnified Party notifies Indemnitor in writing that it elects to employ
separate counsel at the expense of Indemnitor, then Indemnitor shall not have
the right to assume the defense of the claim, action, suit or proceeding on
behalf of the Indemnified Party, but in such event the Indemnitor shall not be
required to pay the charges and expenses of counsel other than (i) counsel
retained by Indemnitor to assume the defense of one or more Indemnified Parties
and (ii) one separate counsel retained by all other Indemnified Parties. Nothing
set forth herein is intended to or shall impair the right of any Indemnified
Party to retain separate counsel at its own expense. If the Indemnitor does not
elect to engage attorneys or other persons to defend against such claim, action,
suit or proceeding, the Indemnitor shall pay the reasonable charges and expenses
of such attorneys and other persons as are engaged by the Indemnified Party on a
current basis within thirty (30) days after submission of invoices or bills
therefor, provided that the Indemnified Party shall promptly repay to the
Indemnitor the amount of any such charges and expenses if it is ultimately
determined that the Indemnified Party was not entitled to be indemnified in
connection with such matter. The Indemnitor will not settle or compromise or
consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action,
suit or proceeding in respect of the Indemnification Claim unless, (i)
Indemnitor shall have given the Indemnified Party reasonable prior written
notice thereof and shall have obtained an unconditional release of the
Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or
proceeding, or (ii) Indemnitor reaffirms in writing its indemnity obligations
hereunder regardless of Applicable Laws to the contrary. As long as Indemnitor
has complied with its obligations to defend and indemnify, Indemnitor shall not
be liable for any settlement made by the Indemnified Party without the consent
of Indemnitor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
10.6 Exclusive Remedy. The provisions for indemnification set forth in
this Article X are the exclusive remedies of Sellers and Purchaser arising out
of or in connection with this Agreement, and shall be in lieu of any rights
under contract, tort, equity or otherwise; provided, however, that if Purchaser
brings suit for specific performance against Sellers under 10.1(a)(ii)(z) or if
Sellers bring suit for specific performance against Purchaser under 10.2(z), the
party bringing such suit for specific performance shall be entitled to receive
their reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of suit in such action.
ARTICLE XI
TAX MATTERS
11.1 Tax Returns.
(a) Sellers shall prepare, or shall cause to be prepared, and
shall file or cause to be filed, all income Tax Returns of any Acquired Entity
for taxable years that end on
35
the Closing Date, and all other Tax Returns the due date of which is before the
Closing Date. Purchaser shall cooperate, and cause each Acquired Entity to
cooperate, with the reasonable requests of the Sellers in connection with the
filing of any such Tax Return, including, without limitation, the execution of
any such Tax Return (provided that such Tax Return is complete in all material
respects and there is a reasonable basis for the positions taken in such Tax
Return) or of any other document required to be filed with any Taxing Authority
in connection therewith. Except as required by Applicable Law, such Tax Returns
shall be prepared in a manner that is consistent with past practice.
(b) Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared and shall file
or cause to be filed all other Tax Returns of the Acquired Entities. Except as
required by Applicable Law, such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner that
is consistent with past practice. Purchaser shall deliver a copy of any Tax
Returns covering any period ending on or prior to the Closing Date, completed in
draft form, at least fifteen (15) days before the due date thereof for the
review and approval of Sellers, which shall not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed
11.2 Contests. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Contest" is any audit,
court proceeding or other dispute with respect to any tax matter that affects an
Acquired Entity. Unless Purchaser has previously received written notice from
Sellers of the existence of such Contest, Purchaser shall give written notice to
Sellers of the existence of any Contest relating to a Tax matter arising in a
period ending on or before the Effective Date within ten (10) days from the
receipt by Purchaser of any written notice of such Contest, but no failure to
give such notice shall relieve the Seller of any liability hereunder. Unless
Sellers have previously received written notice from Purchaser of the existence
of such Contest, the applicable Seller shall give written notice to Purchaser of
the existence of any Contest for which Purchaser has responsibility within ten
(10) days from the receipt by such Seller of any written notice of such Contest.
Purchaser, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other, agree, in each case at no
cost to the other party, to cooperate with the other and the other's
representatives in a prompt and timely manner in connection with any Contest.
Such cooperation shall include, but not be limited to, making available to the
other party, during normal business hours, all books, records, Tax Returns,
documents, files, other information (including working papers and schedules),
officers or employees (without substantial interruption of employment) or other
relevant information necessary or useful in connection with any Contest
requiring any such books, records and files. Sellers shall, at their election,
have the right to represent an Acquired Entity's interests in any Contest
relating to a Tax matter arising in a period ending on or before the Effective
Date, to employ counsel of its choice at their expense and to control the
conduct of such Contest, including settlement or other disposition thereof;
provided, however, that Purchaser shall have the right to consult with the
Sellers regarding any such Contest that may affect such Acquired Entity for any
periods ending after the Closing Date at Purchaser's own expense; and provided
further, that any settlement or other disposition of any such Contest may only
be with the consent of Purchaser, which consent will not be unreasonably
withheld.
11.3 Survival. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
all obligations under this Article XI shall survive the Closing hereunder and
continue until 90 days following the expiration of the period of limitations
applicable to the related Tax.
36

respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. Subject to Section 12.7, this
Agreement may be modified only by a written instrument duly executed by the
parties hereto.
12.2 Assignments. Neither Purchaser nor Sellers may assign their rights
hereunder without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, and any

Agreement. Purchaser may (i) designate an Affiliate to take title to and acquire
the HdC Interests, and to perform Purchaser's obligations with respect to the
Closing, including execution and delivery of Closing Documents, provided that no
designation pursuant to the preceding sentence shall relieve the Purchaser from

Documents executed by the designee, except with the express written consent of
the other parties hereto; and (ii) designate a Designee or Designees to which
Seller shall transfer, convey, assign and deliver, on the terms and conditions
contained in Section 2.7, all or any part of the HdC Interests. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Purchaser shall so designate an Affiliate of Purchaser to take
title to the GP Interest so that HdC Parent will continue to be a limited

assigns.

consent or other communication is given, on a day other than a Business Day,
such performance shall be deemed to be required, and such notice, consent or
other communication shall be deemed to be given, on the first Business Day
following such non-Business Day. Unless otherwise specified herein, all
references herein to a "day" or "days" shall refer to calendar days and not
Business Days.
12.5 Governing Law. This Agreement and all documents referred to herein
shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws
of the State of California without regard to its principles of conflicts of law.

contemplated in this Agreement shall be instituted in the courts of the State of

sitting in the Central District of California. Each party to this Agreement
irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of
California sitting in Los Angeles County, California and of the United States
sitting in the Central District of California in connection with any such
dispute, litigation, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this

action or proceeding may be served on it by mailing a copy of such process or
summons in the manner required by applicable law.

INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER ARISING IN TORT OR CONTRACT) BROUGHT
BY ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGAINST ANY OF THE OTHERS ON ANY MATTERS WHATSOEVER
ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OR FOR THE
ENFORCEMENT OF ANY REMEDY IN CONNECTION HEREWITH. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION
12.5 SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSING.
12.6 Counterparts. To facilitate execution, this Agreement may be
executed in as many counterparts as may be required. It shall not be necessary
that the signature on behalf of each party hereto appear on each counterpart
hereof. All counterparts hereof shall collectively constitute a single
agreement. Facsimile signatures shall have the same valid and binding effect as
original signatures.
12.7 Purchaser's Representative. Except as otherwise provided in this
Section 12.7, KSL II Management Operations, LLC is hereby appointed as the
representative of Purchaser under this Agreement ("Purchaser's Representative"),
and shall act as exclusive agent and attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of
Purchaser with respect to any and all matters, claims controversies, or disputes
arising out of the terms of this Agreement. Purchaser's Representative shall
have the power to take any and all actions which Purchaser's Representative
believes are necessary or appropriate or in the best interests of Purchaser, as
fully as if Purchaser was acting on its own behalf with respect to all matters
concerning Purchaser following the Closing Date, including with respect to (i)
all claims for indemnification under this Agreement, and (ii) the resolution of
all matters related to the purchase price adjustment under Article II, and
Purchaser's Representative may take any action, or no action, in connection
therewith as Purchaser's Representative may deem appropriate as effectively as
could act itself, including the settlement or compromise of any dispute or
controversy; provided that this Agreement shall not be amended, waived or
modified without the consent of each party hereto. The authority granted
hereunder is deemed to be coupled with an interest. To the extent Purchaser's
Representative is permitted to take action pursuant to this Section 12.7,
Sellers shall have the right to rely on any actions taken or omitted to be taken
by Purchaser's Representative as being the act or omission of Purchaser, without
the need for any inquiry, and any such actions or omissions shall be binding
upon Purchaser. Purchaser's Representative shall incur no liability or expense
as a result of any action taken in good faith hereunder, including any legal
fees and expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section
12.7 shall not apply to any claim for indemnification against Purchaser pursuant
to Section 10.4(b), which claim shall be defended solely by Purchaser.

or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall to any extent be
invalid or
38
unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of
such term, covenant or condition to other persons or circumstances, shall not be
affected thereby, and each term, covenant or condition of this Agreement shall
be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law, unless such
severance would cause a materially adverse economic result to the party against
whom this Agreement is sought to be enforced.
12.9 Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand, transmitted by
facsimile transmission, sent prepaid for next Business Day delivery by Federal

Agent in a manner described in this Section 12.9. Any notice, request, demand or
other communication delivered or sent in the manner aforesaid may be given by
the party required to give such notice or its attorney, and shall be deemed
given or made (as the case may be) when actually delivered to or refused by the
intended recipient.

action.
12.10 Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent referred to in the definition thereof
contained in Section 1.1 has agreed to act as such for the convenience of the
parties without fee or other charges for such services as Escrow Agent. Escrow
Agent shall not be liable: (i) to any of the parties for any act or omission to
act, except for its own negligence or willful misconduct; (ii) for any legal
effect, insufficiency, or undesirability of any instrument deposited with or
delivered by Escrow Agent or exchanged by the parties hereunder, whether or not
Escrow Agent prepared such instrument; (iii) for any loss or impairment of funds
that have been deposited in escrow while those funds are in the course of
collection, or while those funds are on deposit in a financial institution, if
such loss or impairment results from the failure, insolvency or suspension of a
financial institution; (iv) for the expiration of any time limit or other
consequence of delay, unless a properly executed written instruction, accepted
by Escrow Agent, has instructed Escrow Agent to comply with said time limit; and
(v) for the default, error, action or omission of either party to the escrow.
Escrow Agent, in its capacity as escrow agent, shall be entitled to rely on any
document or paper received by it, believed by such Escrow Agent, in good faith,
to be bona fide and genuine. In the event of any dispute as to the disposition
of the Deposit or any other monies held in escrow, or of any documents held in
escrow, Escrow Agent may, if such Escrow Agent so elects, interplead the matter
by filing an interpleader action in a court of competent jurisdiction in Los
Angeles County, California, and pay into the registry of the court the Deposit,
or deposit any such documents with respect to which there is a dispute in the
registry of such court, whereupon such Escrow Agent shall be relieved and
released from any further liability with respect to the Deposit as Escrow Agent
hereunder. Escrow Agent shall not be liable for Escrow Agent's compliance with
any legal
40
process, subpoena, writ, order, judgment and decree of any court, whether issued

set aside or reversed.

necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most
expeditious manner practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
