The Parties agree that the Purchase Price (including both the Cash Payment and Shares) shall be allocated among the Hotels as set forth in Schedule 2.1 (the “Allocation Schedule”). Purchaser shall pay the Purchase Price to Sellers at Closing in accordance with Section 2.3.

2.2 [Intentionally Omitted]

2.3 Payment of Purchase Price. At Closing, Purchaser shall pay the Purchase Price as follows:

2.3.1 Cash Payment. Purchaser shall pay to Seller at the Closing an amount equal to the Cash Payment as adjusted for the Prorations. Any Cash and Accounts Receivable purchased by Purchaser shall be paid in cash in addition to the Cash Payment. Purchaser shall use diligent efforts to cause the wire transfer of funds to be received by Seller on the Closing Date in sufficient time for such funds to be invested by Seller on the Closing Date. All amounts to be paid by Purchaser to Seller pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available U.S. federal funds.

2.3.2 Shares. Purchaser shall issue the Shares to Sellers at the Closing in accordance with the Allocation Schedule. The Shares shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, shall not be subject to any preemptive rights of any other shareholder of Purchaser, and shall be free and clear of all pledges, liens and encumbrances, other than restrictions on transfer under applicable securities laws.

2.4 Like Kind Exchange. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Seller shall have the right at Closing, in lieu of receiving the Purchase Price for the sale of the Property for any one or more Hotels as determined in Seller’s sole discretion (each, the “Exchange Property”), to exchange the Exchange Property for any Hotel in a transaction intended to qualify as an exchange transaction under Section 1031 of the Code (an “Exchange Transaction”). If any Seller elects to effect an Exchange Transaction pursuant to this Section 2.4, Seller shall provide written notice to Purchaser prior to Closing, in which case Seller shall enter into an exchange agreement and other exchange documents for the Hotel with a “qualified intermediary” (as defined in Treas. Reg. § 1.1031(k)-1(g)(4) of the Code) (the “Exchange Intermediary”), pursuant to which Seller shall assign all of its right, title and interest (but not its liabilities or obligations) under this Agreement to the Exchange Intermediary. Purchaser shall execute and deliver such documents as may be required to complete the transactions for the Hotel contemplated by the Exchange Transaction, and otherwise cooperate with Seller in all reasonable respects to effect the Exchange Transaction. If Seller elects to effect an Exchange Transaction pursuant to this Section 2.4, at Closing, Purchaser shall pay the Cash Payment for the Hotel to the Exchange Intermediary. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 2.4, the Exchange Transaction shall not diminish Purchaser’s rights, nor increase Purchaser’s liabilities or obligations, under this Agreement. Seller shall pay for all fees, costs and expenses in connection with the Exchange Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.4 shall not operate to change the Hotels being acquired by Purchaser hereunder or change the recipient of the Shares being issued by Purchaser hereunder.

Article 13
DEFAULT, REMEDIES AND TERMINATION RIGHTS

13.1 Seller Default. If Seller fails to perform any of their obligations under this Agreement such that the Purchaser Closing Conditions cannot be satisfied, and such failure is not due to a Purchaser Default (a “Seller Default”), and no Purchaser Default has occurred and remains uncured, then, at or any time before Closing, Purchaser, as its sole and exclusive remedy for such Seller Default, may elect to (a) terminate this Agreement, in which case the Parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except for those that expressly survive termination and provided that nothing herein shall relieve any Party of liability for any intentional breach of any provision of this Agreement, (b) proceed to Closing without any reduction in or setoff against the Purchase Price, in which case Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived such Seller Default, or (c) obtain an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief as set forth in Section 13.5.

13.5 Specific Performance. Seller acknowledges and agrees that irreparable harm for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur if Seller does not fully and timely perform its obligations under or in connection with this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of Seller to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement). Accordingly, Seller acknowledges and agrees that (i) Purchaser shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically its terms and provisions, without proof of damages and without posting a bond or other security (in addition to any other remedy to which Purchaser is entitled under this Agreement), and (ii) the right to obtain an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief is an integral part of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement and without that right, Purchaser would have entered into this Agreement.

13.7 Failure of Net Tangible Assets or Shareholder Approval. Failure of Net Tangible Assets or Shareholder Approval. If Purchaser does not have at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets either immediately prior to or upon the Closing after giving effect to the exercise by the Redeeming Stockholders of their right to redeem the shares of Common Stock held by them for a pro rata share of the Trust Fund in accordance with Parent’s Charter Documents, or Purchaser shall not have obtained the Shareholder Approval at the Purchaser Stockholder Meeting, then, at any time before the Termination Date and the Closing, Purchaser or Sellers may elect to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to the other Party, and the Parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except for those that expressly survive termination and provided that nothing herein shall relieve any Party of liability for any intentional breach of any provision of this Agreement.

15.4 Indemnification Procedures.

15.4.1 Notice of Indemnification Claim. If any Seller Indemnitee or Purchaser Indemnitee (each, an “Indemnitee”) is entitled to defense or indemnification under Section 15.2 or 15.3 or any other express provision in this Agreement (each, an “Indemnification Claim”) for any claim, demand, law suit, arbitration or other legal or administrative action or proceeding, or any actual (and not contingent) liability, damage, loss, cost or expense, including, reasonable attorneys fees and expenses and court costs, incurred by such Indemnitee as a result of the act, omission or occurrence in question (an “Indemnification Loss”), the Party required to defend or indemnify such Indemnitee (the “Indemnitor”) shall not be obligated to defend or indemnify such Indemnitee unless such Indemnitee provides written notice to such Indemnitor promptly after (a) such Indemnitee first has actual knowledge of any facts or circumstances on which such Indemnification Claim is based or (b) any claim, demand, lawsuit, arbitration or other legal or administrative action or proceeding is made against such Indemnitee by any Person which is not an Affiliate, or a shareholder, partner, member, trustee, beneficiary, director, officer, employee or agent of Indemnitee or any Affiliate (a “Third-Party Claim”) on which such Indemnification Claim is based, describing in reasonable detail such facts and circumstances or Third-Party Claim with respect to such Indemnification Claim.

15.4.2 Resolution of Indemnification Claim Not Involving Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnification Claim does not involve a Third-Party Claim and is disputed by the Indemnitor, the dispute shall be resolved by litigation or other means of alternative dispute resolution as the Parties may agree in writing.

15.4.3 Resolution of Indemnification Claim Involving Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnification Claim involves any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitor shall have the right (but not the obligation) to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, at its cost and expense, and shall use good faith efforts consistent with prudent business judgment to defend such Third-Party Claim, provided that (a) the counsel for the Indemnitor who shall conduct the defense of the Third-Party Claim shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee (unless selected by the Indemnitor’s insurance company), (b) the Indemnitee, at its cost and expense, may participate in, but shall not control, the defense of such Third-Party Claim, (c) the Indemnitor shall not enter into any settlement or other agreement which requires any performance by the Indemnitee, other than the payment of money which shall be paid by the Indemnitor, (d) the Third Party Claim does not relate to or arise in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation, or investigation, and (e) the Third Party Claim does not seek an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnitee. The Indemnitee shall not enter into any settlement or other agreement with respect to the Indemnification Claim, without the Indemnitor’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in the Indemnitor’s sole discretion. If the Indemnitor elects not to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall have the right to retain the defense of such Third-Party Claim and shall use good faith efforts consistent with prudent business judgment to defend such Third-Party Claim in an effective and cost-efficient manner.

15.4.4 Accrual of Indemnification Obligation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall have no right to indemnification against the Indemnitor for any Indemnification Claim (a) which does not involve a Third-Party Claim but is disputed by the Indemnitor, until such time as such dispute is resolved by written agreement or by litigation or other means of alternative dispute resolution as the Parties may agree in writing, including any appeals with respect thereto, or (b) which involves a Third-Party Claim, until such time as such Third-Party Claim is concluded, including any appeals with respect thereto.

15.4.5 Losses. Solely for the purpose of determining the amount of any Indemnification Loss (and not for determining any breach) for which an Indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification, any representation or warranty in this Agreement that is qualified by a term or terms such as “material,” “materially,” “Seller Material Adverse Effect” or “Purchaser Material Adverse Effect” shall be deemed made or given without such qualification and without giving effect to such words.

15.5 Limitations on Indemnification.

15.5.1 Failure to Provide Notice within Survival Period. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, an Indemnitee that is seeking defense or indemnification under this Agreement shall be entitled to defense or indemnification only if the Indemnitee has given written notice to the Indemnitor in accordance with Section 15.4.1 before the expiration of the applicable Survival Period.

15.5.2 Failure to Provide Timely Notice of Indemnification Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, an Indemnitee shall not be entitled to defense or indemnification to the extent, and solely to the extent, the Indemnitee’s failure to promptly notify the Indemnitor in accordance with Section 15.4.1, (a) prejudices the Indemnitor’s ability to defend against any Third-Party Claim on which such Indemnification Claim is based, or (b) increases the amount of Indemnification Loss incurred in respect of such indemnification obligation of the Indemnitor.

15.5.3 Indemnification Deductible and Cap. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, an Indemnitor shall not be required to provide defense or indemnification pursuant to Sections 15.2(i) or 15.3(i) for any Indemnification Losses incurred by any Indemnitees for any breach of representation or warranty of Indemnitor to the extent that the aggregate amount of all such Indemnification Losses for which the Indemnitees otherwise would be entitled to indemnification (a) does not exceed Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) (the “Indemnification Deductible”), or if such Indemnification Losses exceed the Indemnification Deductible, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to defense or indemnification for any amount up to the Indemnification Deductible, or (b) exceeds Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000).

15.5.4 Effect of Insurance or Other Reimbursement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the amount of any Indemnification Loss for which indemnification is provided to an Indemnitee under this Article 15 shall be net of any insurance proceeds received by such Indemnitee in connection with the Indemnification Claim, or any other third party reimbursement. The Indemnitee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect any insurance proceeds or obtain any third party reimbursement with respect to such Indemnification Claim, and if such insurance proceeds or reimbursement are obtained by the Indemnitee after the Indemnitor has paid any amount in respect of an Indemnification Loss to the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall reimburse the amount realized or collected by the Indemnitee up to the amount received from the Indemnitor for such Indemnification Loss. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, (i) the existence of any Indemnification Claim by an Indemnitee for monies from an insurer or against a third party in respect of any Indemnification Loss shall not delay any payment pursuant to the indemnification provisions in this Article 15, and (ii) no insurer or any other third party shall be (a) entitled to a benefit it would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the indemnification provisions in this Article 15, or (b) relieved of the responsibility to pay any claims for which such insurer or other third party otherwise is obligated to pay.

15.5.5 Negligence or Willful Misconduct of Indemnitee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, an Indemnitee shall not be entitled to defense or indemnification to the extent the applicable Indemnification Loss results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or breach of this Agreement by, such Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates or related persons.

15.5.6 Waiver of Certain Damages. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT OR UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, SELLER (FOR ITSELF AND ALL SELLER INDEMNITEES) AND PURCHASER (FOR ITSELF AND ALL PURCHASER INDEMNITEES) HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR STATUTORY DAMAGES (EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT IMPOSED ON INDEMNITEE PURSUANT TO A THIRD PARTY CLAIM), AND ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE RIGHTS AND REMEDIES IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE ADEQUATE IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES FOR ANY CLAIMS THE PARTIES or any Indemnitee MIGHT HAVE WITH RESPECT ARISING FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OTHER THAN CLAIMS BASED ON FRAUD, INTENTIONAL MISREPRESENTATION OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

15.6 Exclusive Remedy. Except for (i) claims based on fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) the right to obtain an injunction for specific performance, after the Closing, the indemnification provisions in this Article 15 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of any Indemnitee with respect to any claim for Indemnification Loss arising from or in connection with this Agreement.
