2.1 Deposit

2.1.1 Within Three Business Days following the Effective Date, Sellers, Purchaser and a duly authorized representative of Title Insurer (“Escrowee”) shall execute Deposit Escrow Instructions in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Deposit Escrow Instructions”) and concurrently therewith, Purchaser shall deliver to Escrowee xxxxxxx money in the amount of $2,579,527 (the “Initial Deposit”), subject to the terms of this Agreement. If Purchaser elects, in its sole and absolute discretion, to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, then, on or before 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the last day of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall deliver to Escrowee a wire transfer in immediately available federal funds in the amount equal to the difference between (i) 10% of the Purchase Price and (ii) $2,579,527 (the “Additional Deposit”). The term “Deposit” shall mean the Initial Deposit and the Additional Deposit, if any, and shall include interest earned thereon. The Deposit shall be allocated among each of the Hotel Assets in accordance with the relative Allocated Purchase Prices of such Hotel Assets (each, an “Allocated Deposit”). If any such Hotel Asset becomes an Excluded Title Asset, Excluded Casualty Asset, Excluded ROFO/ROFR Asset or Excluded Representation Asset pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, then the Allocated Deposit for such Excluded Title Asset, Excluded Casualty Asset, Excluded ROFO/ROFR Asset or Excluded Representation Asset (and the interest thereon) shall be promptly paid over to Purchaser.

2.1.2 The Deposit shall be invested as Purchaser shall direct from time to time in accordance with the terms of the Deposit Escrow Instructions (and the risk of loss of the Deposit shall be borne by the party to whom the Deposit (or the applicable portion thereof) is to be paid. All interest earned on any Deposit while held by Escrowee shall be paid to the party to whom the applicable portion of the Deposit is paid, except that if the Closing occurs, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price for the interest theretofore earned on the Deposit at the time of the Closing.

2.1.3 If the Closing occurs in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then at the Closing the balance of the Deposit applicable to the Hotel Assets being sold at the Closing (and the interest thereon) shall be delivered by Escrowee to the applicable Sellers as partial payment of the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 4.1 below. If the Closing does not occur due to a default on the part of Purchaser or the failure of any Seller Closing Condition, Sellers shall have the remedy options provided for in Section 7.2.1 or Section 7.2.2 below, as applicable. If the Closing does not occur due to a default on the part of Sellers or the failure of any Purchaser Closing Condition, Purchaser shall have the remedy options provided for in Section 7.1.1 or Section 7.1.2 below, as applicable.

2.1.4 For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that Escrowee shall be responsible for (i) organizing the issuance of each Title Commitment and Owner’s Policy, (ii) preparation of the closing statement for the Closing and (iii) collections and disbursements of the funds to be collected and disbursed at the Closing hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof.

2.2 Balance of Purchase Price. Subject to the proviso set forth in the last sentence of Section 2.1, at the Closing, Purchaser shall pay to the applicable Sellers, with current federal funds wire-transferred to an account designated by Sellers in writing, an amount equal to (i) the Purchase Price applicable to the Hotel Assets being sold at the Closing minus (ii) the balance of the Deposit applicable to the Hotel Assets being sold at the Closing (and the interest thereon), and plus or minus, as the case may require, the closing prorations, adjustments and credits to be made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement with respect to the Hotel Assets (including, without limitation, as set forth in Sections 3.1.3, 4.4, 4.7, 5 and 7.1.1 below).

2.3 Property Allocation. Sellers and Purchaser agree that, prior to the Closing, the Allocated Purchase Price for each individual Hotel Asset purchased as part of the Closing shall be allocated for federal, state and local Tax purposes (the “Allocation”) among the applicable portion of (i) the Real Property, (ii) the Improvements, and (iii) the Personal Property as may be determined by agreement of Seller and Purchaser in accordance with Section 1060 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). At least 30 days prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Sellers a draft of the Allocation setting forth its proposed calculation of the aggregate amount of the Allocated Purchase Price to be allocated among the applicable portions of each Hotel Asset sold pursuant to the Closing. If within 10 days after their receipt of the draft of the Allocation Sellers have not objected in writing to such draft allocation, it shall become final. In the event that Sellers object in writing within such 10-day period, Sellers and Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute. Upon reaching an agreement on the Allocation, Purchaser and Sellers shall (i) cooperate in the filing of any forms (including Form 8594 under Section 1060 of the Code) with respect to the agreed Allocation, including any amendments to such forms required pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any adjustment to the Purchase Price, and (ii) shall file all federal, state and local Tax returns and related Tax documents consistent with the agreed Allocation, as the same may be adjusted pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement, unless otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, after negotiating in good faith, Purchaser and Sellers are unable to agree on a mutually satisfactory Allocation, each Purchaser and Sellers shall use its or their own allocation for purposes of this Section 2.3.

3. EVIDENCE OF TITLE

3.1 Title Insurance. After the Effective Date, Purchaser shall order current commitments for ALTA Owner’s Title Insurance Policies (collectively, the “Title Commitments”) for each of the Real Properties, from Xxxxxxx Title Guaranty Company, Xxx Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxx - Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxx, XX 00000, Attention: Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx; Telephone: 000-000-0000; Email: xxxxxx@xxxxxxx.xxx (Xxxxxxx Title Guaranty Company being referred to herein as “Title Insurer”). Prior to the Closing, Purchaser may receive updated Title Commitments or new commitments (each, an “Updated Title Commitment”). Purchaser may request that Title Insurer issue, but Sellers shall have no obligation to pay for or to cause Title Insurer to issue, any available endorsements to the Owner’s Policies. “Owner’s Policies” shall mean the most recent form of ALTA Owner’s Policies of Title Insurance for the applicable jurisdiction, issued to Purchaser at the Closing, insuring, as applicable, fee simple title to the applicable Real Properties and the Improvements, in an amount equal to the Allocated Purchase Price applicable to each such Real Property, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions applicable to such Real Property dated as of the date of, and insuring Purchaser from and after, the Closing Date.

3.1.1 Upon issuance, the Owner’s Policies will except from coverage only the Permitted Exceptions. “Permitted Exceptions” means, with respect to the applicable Real Property, (i) those matters (other than Required Cure Matters) that either are (x) not objected to in writing within the time periods provided in Section 3.1.3, or (y) if objected to in writing by Purchaser within such time periods, are those that Sellers have elected by notice to Purchaser within the time periods provided in Section 3.1.3 not to remove or cure, or have been unable to remove or cure within the time periods provided in Section 3.1.3, and subject to which, in the case of this clause (y), Purchaser is required to or has elected to accept the conveyance of the applicable Real Property in accordance with Section 3.1.3, (ii) such matters as Title Insurer is willing to omit as exceptions to coverage, (iii) all standard title insurance exceptions and exclusions from coverage set forth in the “title jacket” (except those that would be customarily omitted, including, without limitation, mechanics liens, pursuant to a title affidavit in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Title Insurer to be delivered by Sellers at the Closing), (iv) exceptions resulting from acts of Purchaser, and those claiming by, through and under Purchaser, (v) unpaid personal property, real estate, excise, general and special Taxes and assessments not yet due and payable as of the Closing Date (without limiting the provisions regarding proration of such amounts as set forth herein), (vi) rights of Tenants, as tenants only, under Leases in effect on the Effective Date or entered into following the Effective Date in accordance with the terms hereof and in each case previously delivered to Purchaser and set forth on the rent roll delivered pursuant to Section 4.2.10, and (vii) local, state and federal zoning, health and safety, building and other governmental and quasi governmental laws, ordinances, codes and regulations.

3.1.2 Except as permitted under this Agreement, no additional Liens may be created or caused by any Seller on the Real Properties or Improvements after the Effective Date that would constitute exceptions to any Owner’s Policy or bind any Real Property or Improvements after the Closing without the prior consent of Purchaser, which consent may be granted or withheld in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sellers shall Cure mortgage Liens, mechanics’ Liens and all other monetary Liens on the Real Property or Improvements, in each case, of an ascertainable amount and which is curable by the payment or escrow of a liquidated sum of money (collectively, “Required Cure Matters”), which shall be discharged by the applicable Seller or omitted from the applicable Owner’s Policy by Title Insurer prior to or at the Closing (each, a “Cure”) without the need for Purchaser to make a request therefor (including, without limitation, any request under Section 3.1.3), it being acknowledged and understood by Purchaser that Sellers may contest any such mechanics’ Liens so long as Sellers Cure the same at or prior to the Closing; provided, however, that a Cure with respect to a zoning violation can only be effected by causing such Real Property to become a conforming use or legal non-conforming use and such Seller paying any judgments, penalties or fines associated with any such zoning violations. “Lien” shall mean any mortgage, security interest, encumbrance, charge, deed of trust or other consensual lien, mechanic’s or any materialman’s lien, judgment lien, special improvement bond or bonded indebtedness, lien for delinquent property Taxes or assessments, and other Tax and statutory liens (other than the lien for non-delinquent property Taxes and assessments or the Permitted Exceptions).

3.1.3 If any Title Commitment, Updated Title Commitment, Survey, Updated Survey, Zoning Report or Updated Zoning Report as to a Real Property discloses any Objectionable Title Matter as to which Purchaser objects, then, no later than 10 Business Days after Purchaser’s receipt of such Title Commitment, Updated Title Commitment, Survey, Updated Survey, Zoning Report or Updated Zoning Report, Purchaser shall have the right to notify Sellers in writing of the Objectionable Title Matter. Subject to Section 3.1.2, the applicable Seller, within seven Business Days after receipt of such notice from Purchaser (but in any event prior to the Closing) shall elect, by written notice to Purchaser, to either (i) Cure such Objectionable Title Matter or (ii) not Cure such Objectionable Title Matter. If the applicable Seller does not make such election within such seven Business Day-period, then such Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to Cure such Objectionable Title Matter. If the applicable Seller elects (or is deemed to have elected) not to Cure such Objectionable Title Matter, then Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as to the applicable Real Property (an “Excluded Title Asset”), in which case (A) all references hereunder to such Excluded Title Asset shall be deemed deleted and such Excluded Title Asset shall not be deemed a “Real Property”, “Hotel Asset” or part of the “Property” for any purpose under this Agreement, (B) the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Allocated Purchase Price applicable to such Excluded Title Asset and Purchaser shall receive a return of the Allocated Deposit applicable to such Excluded Title Asset, and (C) neither Sellers nor Purchaser shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder with regard to such Excluded Title Asset, except for the rights and obligations hereunder which expressly survive termination of this Agreement. If the applicable Seller elects to Cure such Objectionable Title Matter and if such Seller fails to Cure the Objectionable Title Matter by the Closing (provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Sellers may, at their option, extend the Closing for the period required to effect such Cure, but not in excess of 30 days), then Purchaser’s sole remedy, exercisable no later than the Closing (as it may be extended as provided herein) shall be to (i) proceed to the Closing (subject to the terms of this Agreement) subject to such matter or matters, which shall, in such case, be Permitted Exceptions, without any abatement of the Purchase Price, or (ii) terminate this Agreement as to such Real Property and treat such Real Property as an Excluded Title Asset, in which case (A) all references hereunder to such Excluded Title Asset shall be deemed deleted and such Excluded Title Asset shall not be deemed a “Real Property”, “Hotel Asset” or part of the “Property” for any purpose under this Agreement, (B) the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Allocated Purchase Price applicable to such Excluded Title Asset and Purchaser shall receive a return of the Allocated Deposit applicable to such Excluded Title Asset, and (C) neither Sellers nor Purchaser shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder with regard to such Excluded Title Asset, except for the rights and obligations hereunder which expressly survive termination of this Agreement. “Objectionable Title Matter” means any Lien, encumbrance, exception or defect of title, or violation of applicable zoning laws and regulations, in each case which is not a Required Cure Matter or a Permitted Exception and of which notice is delivered by Purchaser to Seller on or after the Effective Date.

3.1.4 Within five days after the Effective Date, Sellers shall give to Purchaser copies of all existing title policies for each Real Property and any other title reports and title commitments relating to each such Real Property and in each case all exceptions or other encumbrances noted therein in each case in the possession or control of Sellers, Summit or any of their affiliates.

3.2 Survey. From and after the Effective Date, Purchaser may obtain, at Purchaser’s sole option, election and expense, an updated or new as-built survey of any Real Property (any such survey being referred to herein, each as a “Survey”, and any updates thereto being referred to herein, each as an “Updated Survey”). Within five days after the Effective Date, Sellers shall give to Purchaser copies of all existing surveys for each Real Property in each case in the possession or control of Sellers, Summit or any of their affiliates. Purchaser shall deliver or cause to be delivered any Surveys and Updated Surveys to Seller and Title Insurer promptly upon receipt thereof.

3.3 Zoning. From and after the Effective Date, Purchaser may obtain, at Purchaser’s sole option, election and expense, an updated or new zoning report relating to any Real Property (any such zoning report being referred to herein, each as a “Zoning Report”, and any updates thereto being referred to herein, each as an “Updated Zoning Report”). Within five days after the Effective Date, Sellers shall give to Purchaser copies of all existing zoning reports, zoning opinions or other zoning or land use analyses for each Real Property in each case in the possession or control of Sellers, Summit or any of their affiliates. Purchaser shall deliver or cause to be delivered any Zoning Reports and Updated Zoning Reports to Seller and Title Insurer promptly upon receipt thereof.

To the extent Purchaser receives rents (including operating expense, Tax and insurance charges payable by tenants) on or after the Closing Date that are not included as accounts receivable subject to Section 4.4.9, such payments, less reasonable costs of collection, shall be applied first toward the payment in full of all rents and other amounts due to Purchaser with respect to periods following the Closing, then allocated for the month of the Closing and thereafter the balance applied to delinquent rents or other amounts due to Sellers, with Sellers’ share thereof being delivered to Seller within five days after Purchaser’s receipt of such amounts;

(a) all room revenue posted for all days preceding the Closing Date shall belong to the applicable Seller but shall be paid over to such Seller only as and when actually collected (less reasonable administrative and collection costs), except for the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, which shall be allocated one-half to Purchaser and one-half to the applicable Seller. The applicable Seller shall be responsible for all Taxes and franchise fees for all guest charges preceding the Closing Date, except for the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, which shall be allocated one-half to Purchaser and one-half to the applicable Seller; and

4.4.9 any accounts receivable with respect to a Hotel accruing prior to 11:59 local time (with respect to the applicable Hotel) on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (“Accounts Receivable”) will not be transferred to Purchaser at the Closing, but rather will be retained by the applicable Seller. Purchaser will deliver to the applicable Seller (and shall promptly instruct the applicable property manager, as its agent, to deliver to the applicable Seller) all checks and other forms of payments received by Purchaser at such Hotel that constitute payment of all or part of any Account Receivable. Payments received from payors owing payment both on an Account Receivable and on an account payable for goods or services rendered on or after the Closing Date will be applied first in accordance with the invoice for which the payment is invoiced (including any designation included in an invoice from internet travel providers or other vendors covering multiple transactions). Any payments from payors that owe amounts on Accounts Receivable and also owe amounts on an account payable for goods or services rendered on or after the Closing Date to Purchaser which do not include such a designation shall be applied first to current amounts (i.e., payments not more than 60 days past due and not being disputed by the payee on Accounts Receivable), then to Purchaser to be applied to amounts owing to Purchaser and any excess shall be applied to any other Accounts Receivable from that payor;

4.4.12 the outstanding balance of all security deposits under the Leases assigned to Purchaser at the Closing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

4.4.13 all cash on hand at each Hotel, with such cash retained by Purchaser and the amount of the same increasing the Purchase Price payable to the Seller that owns the applicable Hotel (Sellers shall perform, or cause to be performed, an accounting of cash on hand at the Property (i.e., in house banks, xxxxx cash, including till money and, to the extent the same are the property of Sellers, vending machines and pay telephones) in the presence of a representative of Purchaser);

4.4.14 any utility deposits with any utility in respect of the operation of a Hotel shall be deemed to have been sold to Purchaser and shall become the property of Purchaser and the amount of the same increasing the Purchase Price to the Seller that owns the applicable Hotel; and

4.4.15 such other items as are usually and customarily prorated between purchasers and sellers of hotel properties in the location of the applicable Real Property.

The Purchase Price shall be further adjusted at the Closing in respect of property improvement plans required in connection with the Replacement Franchise Agreements as set forth in Section 4.7.

Except with respect to general real estate and personal property Taxes (which shall be reprorated upon the issuance of the actual bills), any proration which must be estimated at the Closing shall be reprorated and finally adjusted on the date that is 365 days after the Closing Date; otherwise, all prorations shall be final. No later than 350 days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Sellers a final Closing Statement with respect to the Closing; provided that if Purchaser shall fail to deliver such final Closing Statement within such 350-day period, Sellers may prepare and deliver such statement to Purchaser (and Purchaser shall cooperate fully with Sellers’ efforts to do the same). If within 10 days following the delivery of the final Closing Statement to either Sellers or Purchaser, as applicable, Sellers or Purchaser, as applicable, have/has not given the other written notice of its objection as to the amount of final prorations (which notice shall state the basis of Sellers’ or Purchaser’s objection, as applicable), such amount shall be paid over to Sellers or Purchaser, as applicable, within three Business Days thereof.

If Sellers or Purchaser, as applicable, duly give/gives the other such written objection notice, and if Sellers and Purchaser fail to resolve in good faith the issues outstanding with respect to the amount of final prorations within thirty 30 days of the applicable party’s receipt of such written objection notice, Sellers and Purchaser shall submit the issues remaining in dispute to Ernst & Young (the “Independent Accountants”) for resolution. If issues are submitted to the Independent Accountants for resolution, (i) Sellers and Purchaser shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Independent Accountants such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues as the Independent Accountants may request and are available to that party or its agents and shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Independent Accountants any material relating to the disputed issues and to discuss the issues with the Independent Accountants; (ii) the determination by the Independent Accountants, as set forth in a notice to be delivered to both Sellers and Purchaser within 60 days of the submission to the Independent Accountants of the issues remaining in dispute, shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties; and (iii) Sellers and Purchaser will each bear fifty percent (50%) of the fees and costs of the Independent Accountants for such determination.

Purchaser shall have the exclusive right to seek adjustments to real estate, ad valorem and/or personal property Tax rates imposed upon and/or assessed values ascribed to one or more of the Real Properties (any such actions being collectively referred to as “Tax Appeals”) with respect to periods occurring following the Tax year in which the Closing of such Real Properties occurs (such periods, “Purchaser’s Period”), but shall promptly pay over to Sellers the portion of any such Tax refund applicable to periods occurring entirely prior to Purchaser’s Period (such periods, “Sellers’ Period”), in each case after deducting any expenses incurred relating to the applicable Tax Appeal. From and after the Closing Date, subject to the foregoing qualifications, Sellers shall take all actions and execute and deliver all documents Purchaser reasonably requests in order to enable Purchaser to pursue any Tax Appeal solely with respect to Purchaser’s Period at no out-of-pocket expense to Sellers. Subject to the foregoing qualifications, Sellers hereby agree to execute all consents, receipts, instruments and documents which may reasonably be requested in order to facilitate settling any Tax Appeal proceeding commenced by Purchaser in accordance with this paragraph and collecting the amount of any Tax refund with respect thereto.

This Section 4.4 shall survive the Closing.

4.5 Transaction Costs. Purchaser shall pay (i) all of the premiums for the Owner’s Policies and any extended coverages thereunder or endorsements thereto and all title search, survey, and closing fees and costs with respect thereto (including, without limitation any Surveys, Updated Surveys, Title Commitments, Updated Title Commitments, Zoning Reports or Updated Zoning Reports), in each case, obtained by Purchaser, (ii) all recording charges for instruments of conveyance, (iii) all mortgage Taxes, documentary stamps or similar charges imposed on any financing obtained by Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, (iv) except as otherwise required to be paid by Sellers as set forth in clause (c) below, all costs and expenses of obtaining new Franchise Agreements for each Hotel Asset, including any franchise application fees, property improvement plan application fees, attorneys’ fees of the applicable franchisors and, subject to Section 4.7, any property improvement plan costs (the “Replacement Franchise Agreements”), whether or not the same are actually obtained, (v) all costs of Purchaser’s broker, if any, and (vi) one-half of Escrowee’s escrow fees. Sellers shall pay (a) one-half of Escrowee’s escrow fees, (b) any breakage or spread maintenance costs under any debt encumbering its Hotel Assets, (c) any liquidated damages, termination fees, liabilities or obligations under any of the Management Agreements or Franchise Agreements, including those arising from or related to the termination thereof, (d) property improvement plan costs which are the responsibility of Sellers pursuant to Section 4.7; and (e) all costs of Seller’s broker, if any. All transfer Tax, documentary stamps, bulk sales Tax or similar charges imposed upon the transfer of the Real Properties or Personal Property (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be paid by Sellers and/or Purchaser in accordance with local custom as set forth on Exhibit X. Xxxxxxx and Purchaser shall, however, be responsible for the fees of their respective attorneys and Purchaser shall be responsible for all costs related to its due diligence and inspection of the Property. Sellers shall be responsible for their federal, state and local income, franchise and similar Taxes applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. This Section 4.5 shall survive the Closing and any termination of this Agreement.

4.6 Possession. On the Closing Date, possession of the applicable Property shall be delivered to Purchaser, subject only to such matters as are expressly permitted by this Agreement. In connection therewith, each Seller shall deliver the following to Purchaser either at the Closing or at the respective Hotel Assets:

4.6.1 a certificate or registration of title for any owned motor vehicle or other Personal Property which requires such certification or registration, conveying such vehicle or such other Personal Property to Purchaser; provided that all such vehicles and other Personal Property shall be free from any lien, pledge, sale agreement, lease, encumbrance or other charge;

4.6.2 all key codes, access codes and combinations to locks to the extent known by, or in the possession of, Seller or its property manager;

4.6.3 to the extent not previously delivered to Purchaser, all originals (or copies if originals are not available), of the Leases that are assigned to Purchaser at the Closing in accordance with the terms hereof, all Sellers’ Books and Records, permits, written employment contracts and hotel contracts in Seller’s possession or control and required to be conveyed hereunder;

4.6.4 all keys to all locks including but not limited to all keys to any safe deposit boxes at the applicable Hotel which are not in use by guests at such Hotel;

4.6.5 any receipts and/or agreements relating to safe deposit boxes at such Hotel Assets being used by guests together with lists containing the name, address and room number of each such depositor; and

4.6.6 all baggage parcels, laundry or valet packages checked or left by guests of the applicable Hotel with any Seller or its property manager prior to the consummation of the Closing shall be listed in inventory to be prepared in accordance with Section 14.10.

4.7 Replacement Franchise Agreements

4.7.1 At and effective upon the Closing, Sellers shall terminate each of the Franchise Agreements with respect to the Hotel Assets sold in the Closing.

4.7.2 During the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall work with the respective franchisors of the Hotel Assets to negotiate the material terms of the Replacement Franchise Agreements, including (i) the term thereof (which is expected to be for 15 years from the Closing Date) and (ii) the fees and charges thereunder. With respect to the scope of the property improvement plans required in connection with the Replacement Franchise Agreements, Sellers and Purchaser shall work collectively with the respective franchisors of the Hotel Assets to negotiate the material terms thereof. Schedule 4.7.2 sets forth, for each Hotel Asset, an estimate of the costs of the property improvements plans projected as of the Effective Date to be required under the Replacement Franchise Agreements, which schedule was prepared by Sellers in consultation with Purchaser based on Sellers’ good faith estimation of the work that will be required (each, a “Seller PIP Estimate”). The aggregate amount of the Seller PIP Estimates for all of the Hotel Assets equals $4,857,550, but if this Agreement is terminated as to any Hotel Asset then such Hotel Asset shall be removed from Schedule 4.7.2 and the Seller PIP Estimate and the Project Firm PIP Estimate of such Hotel Asset shall both be reduced to zero.

4.7.3 Purchaser shall lead the negotiations with the respective franchisors of the Hotel Assets, but Sellers shall cooperate with and assist Purchaser in such negotiations as Purchaser may request. If such negotiations are successful, then prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser will agree on letters of intent, term sheets, memoranda of understanding or other non-binding preliminary documents reflecting the material terms upon which Purchaser and the franchisor would agree to enter into Replacement Franchise Agreements (the “Replacement Franchise Terms”).

4.7.4 If, for any reason or no reason, Purchaser, in its sole and absolute discretion, is not satisfied with or unable or unwilling to agree with the franchisors on the Replacement Franchise Terms, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement in its entirety pursuant to Section 8.1.3 prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period and receive a return of the Deposit (and the interest thereon).

4.7.5 If Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1.3 then, after determining the scope of the property improvement plans (as reflected in the Replacement Franchise Terms agreed during the Due Diligence Period or in other formal or informal arrangements agreed following the Due Diligence Period) (the “Required PIPs”), Purchaser shall, at its sole cost and expense, engage nationally recognized project management firms to price out the negotiated Required PIPs. Purchaser agrees to work in good faith with the franchisors on the scope and timing of such Required PIPs. Sellers may suggest project management firms and shall have reasonable approval rights over Purchaser’s choice of firms.

4.7.6 At least 45 days prior to the Closing, the project management firms selected by Purchaser and approved by Sellers shall provide their pricing estimates for the Required PIPs for each of the Hotel Assets in a written report to Purchaser and Sellers. If the aggregate estimated costs for the Required PIPs (each, a “Project Firm PIP Estimate”) for all of the Hotel Assets purchased at the Closing are less than or equal to 148.387097% of the Seller PIP Estimates for all such Hotel Assets (i.e., initially $7,207,977, subject to reduction if this Agreement is terminated as to any Hotel Asset), then the Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of (i) 50% and (ii) the difference between (x) the aggregate Project Firm PIP Estimates for all such Hotel Assets and (y) the aggregate Seller PIP Estimates for all such Hotel Assets (unless otherwise agreed to by Purchaser and Sellers, such reduction to be allocated among the Hotel Assets by multiplying such amount by a fraction the numerator of which is the Allocated Purchase Price in respect of such Hotel Assets and the denominator of which is the Allocated Purchase Price for all the Hotel Assets, and Schedule 2 shall be amended accordingly to reflect such reduction in the Purchase Price). If the aggregate Project Firm PIP Estimates for all of the Hotel Assets purchased at the Closing exceed 148.387097% of the aggregate Seller PIP Estimates for all such Hotel Assets, then Sellers shall have 10 days to exercise their right to cure by notifying Purchaser in writing that Sellers have elected to reduce the Purchase Price by the amount by which the aggregate Project Firm PIP Estimates for all such Hotel Assets exceed 148.387097% of the aggregate Seller PIP Estimates for all such Hotel Assets (which reduction shall be in addition to the reduction pursuant to the preceding sentence with respect to the portion of the Project Firm PIP Estimates that are less than or equal to 148.387097% of the aggregate Seller PIP Estimates for all such Hotel Assets but greater than the Seller PIP Estimates) (unless otherwise agreed to by Purchaser and Sellers, such reduction to be allocated among the Hotel Assets by multiplying such amount by a fraction the numerator of which is the Allocated Purchase Price in respect of such Hotel Assets and the denominator of which is the Allocated Purchase Price for all the Hotel Assets, and Schedule 2 shall be amended accordingly to reflect such reduction in the Purchase Price).

4.7.7 If Sellers do not elect to cure by delivering written notice to Purchaser within the 10-day period referred to in Section 4.7.6, then Purchaser shall be permitted to terminate this Agreement in its entirety upon written notice to Sellers so long as the notice is provided at least 30 days prior to the Closing, whereupon Purchaser shall receive a return of the Deposit (and the interest thereon). If Sellers do not elect to cure and Purchaser proceeds to the Closing (subject to the terms of this Agreement), then the Purchase Price shall be reduced in accordance with Section 4.7.6, but, in such case, any Purchase Price reduction shall not exceed $1,175,213. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, if the Project Firm PIP Estimates are not completed by July 15, 2015, the Closing Date shall be extended by one day for each day after July 15, 2015 that such Project Firm PIP Estimates are completed, but not later than the date set forth in Section 4.1; provided, however, that if, as a result of such extension, the Closing Date falls on a day which is not a Business Day, the Closing Date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day.

4.7.8 [Reserved]

4.8 ROFO/ROFR. Purchaser acknowledges that each of the Franchise Agreements and/or Management Agreements set forth on Schedule 4.8 contains a currently effective purchase option, right of first offer, right of first refusal and/or similar rights in favor of a third party with respect to a certain Property (each, a “ROFO/ROFR”, and such Franchise Agreements and/or Management Agreements, each, a “ROFO/ROFR Agreement”). If any ROFO/ROFR Agreement counterparty exercises any of its ROFO/ROFR rights under such ROFO/ROFR Agreement (or fails to waive the same in writing) with respect to any Hotel Assets that are subject to a ROFO/ROFR (each, a “ROFO/ROFR Asset”), then, if Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion agrees to waive the Purchaser Closing Condition set forth in Section 8.2.1(i) and consummate the Closing as to the other applicable Hotel Assets, (A) all references hereunder to such ROFO/ROFR Asset (the “Excluded ROFO/ROFR Asset”) shall be deemed deleted and such Excluded ROFO/ROFR Asset shall not be deemed a “Real Property”, “Hotel Asset” or part of the “Property” for any purpose under this Agreement, (B) the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Allocated Purchase Price applicable to such Excluded ROFO/ROFR Asset and Purchaser shall receive a return of the Allocated Deposit applicable to such Excluded ROFO/ROFR Asset (and the interest thereon), and (C) neither Sellers nor Purchaser shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder with regard to such Excluded ROFO/ROFR Asset, except for the rights and obligations hereunder which expressly survive termination of this Agreement. Promptly after the Effective Date, Sellers shall send to each ROFO/ROFR Agreement counterparty, if any, the notices required under the applicable ROFO/ROFR Agreement in respect of the ROFO/ROFR and keep Purchaser reasonably apprised of the status thereof.

5. CASUALTY LOSS AND CONDEMNATION

5.1 Notice. If, prior to the Closing of a Hotel Asset, such Hotel Asset or any part thereof shall be condemned (a “Condemnation”), or destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), upon gaining knowledge thereof, Sellers shall promptly notify Purchaser.

5.2 Casualty and Condemnation Proceeds.

5.2.1 Subject to Section 5.2.2, Purchaser shall be obligated to proceed to the Closing (subject to the terms of this Agreement) for the Property in accordance with the terms hereof but shall be entitled to receive the following on the Closing Date with respect to any Hotel Asset included in the Property which has suffered a Condemnation or Casualty after the Effective Date which has not been Restored by the Closing Date: (i) with respect to a Condemnation, an assignment of all of the applicable Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Condemnation proceeds to be awarded to such Seller as a result of such Condemnation, and (ii) with respect to a Casualty, (A) an assignment of the insurance proceeds payable on account of such Casualty (less repair and restoration costs incurred by Seller to the extent that such repair and restoration costs were approved by Purchaser) and (B) the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the sum of (i) the amount of any applicable insurance deductible with respect to any damage due to such Casualty and (ii) the amount of any uninsured costs of repair and restoration associated with such Casualty. In the event that a Hotel Asset suffers a Condemnation or a Casualty and Purchaser has elected to waive such Casualty or Condemnation and proceed to the Closing, the applicable Seller shall not expend any insurance proceeds for repairs or restoration unless it has received Purchaser’s consent as to any plans or contracts for such repairs or restoration, and such Seller shall keep Purchaser informed as to the progress of any such repairs or restoration. Nothing herein shall obligate any Seller to cause any Hotel Asset to be Restored.

5.2.2 Notwithstanding Section 5.2.1, if any Hotel Asset suffers a Casualty or Condemnation on or before the Closing Date of such Hotel Asset, then Sellers shall promptly after learning thereof provide Purchaser with notice thereof. If the damages, in the case of a Condemnation, or the cost to repair, in the case of a Casualty, when added to damages and costs to repair, as applicable, of all prior Condemnations and/or Casualties to such Hotel Asset occurring on or after the Effective Date (and which have not been previously Restored) exceed the Casualty/Condemnation Threshold, then Purchaser shall have the option, exercisable by written notice thereof to Sellers within 10 Business Days after Purchaser receives written notice from Sellers of a Condemnation or Casualty together with Appraiser’s or Adjuster’s determination of resulting damages or cost of repair, as applicable, to either (i) waive such Casualty or Condemnation and proceed to the Closing (subject to the terms of this Agreement) without any further right with respect to the same (other than as expressly set forth in Section 5.1) or (ii) terminate this Agreement as to the Hotel Asset affected by the Casualty or Condemnation (an “Excluded Casualty Asset”) and consummate the Closing as to the other applicable Hotel Assets, in which case (A) all references hereunder to such Excluded Casualty Asset shall be deemed deleted and such Excluded Casualty Asset shall not be deemed a “Real Property”, “Hotel Asset” or part of the “Property” for any purpose under this Agreement, (B) the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Allocated Purchase Price applicable to such Excluded Casualty Asset and Purchaser shall receive a return of the Allocated Deposit applicable to such Excluded Casualty Asset, and (C) neither Sellers nor Purchaser shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder with regard to the such Excluded Casualty Asset, except for the rights and obligations hereunder which expressly survive termination of this Agreement. As used herein, the term “Casualty/Condemnation Threshold” with respect to any Hotel Asset means an amount equal to 10% of the Allocated Purchase Price of such Hotel Asset, and the phrase “Restored” means that the Hotel Asset in question has been repaired or restored after a casualty or condemnation occurring after the Effective Date to a condition reasonably similar to the condition such Hotel Asset was immediately prior to such casualty or condemnation. For purposes of this Agreement, the damages caused by a Condemnation shall be determined by an MAI certified appraiser selected by Sellers and reasonably approved by Purchaser (the “Appraiser”) and the cost to repair a Casualty shall be determined by the third-party insurance adjuster designated by the applicable Seller’s insurance company (the “Adjuster”); provided that in the event that Purchaser (x) does not approve the Appraiser (acting reasonably) or (y) is not satisfied with the Appraiser’s damage estimate or the Adjuster’s cost estimate, or such estimates have not been obtained, in each case at least 10 Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser, in either case, may elect by written notice, delivered within 10 Business Days after Purchaser receives notice of the selection of the Appraiser, the damage estimate of the Appraiser or the cost estimate of the Adjuster (or upon failure to receive such estimates within the timeframe specified in this Section 5.2.2) to either (1) treat the Hotel Asset as an Excluded Casualty Asset as provided above or (2) proceed to the Closing (subject to the terms of this Agreement) of such affected Hotel Asset and receive an assignment of any Condemnation awards or Casualty insurance proceeds paid or payable in respect of such Hotel Asset in accordance with Section 5.2.1.

6. BROKERAGE

6.1 Sellers. Each Seller represents and warrants jointly and severally to Purchaser that it has dealt with no broker, salesman, finder or consultant with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Seller agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold Purchaser harmless from and against all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) and charges resulting from such Seller’s breach of the foregoing representation in this Section 6.1. The provisions of this Section 6.1 shall survive the Closing and any termination of this Agreement.

6.2 Purchaser. Purchaser represents and warrants to Sellers that it has dealt with no broker, salesman, finder or consultant with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Purchaser agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold Sellers harmless from and against all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) and charges resulting from Purchaser’s breach of the foregoing representation in this Section 6.2. The provisions of this Section 6.2 shall survive the Closing and any termination of this Agreement.

7. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES; FAILURE OF CONDITIONS TO CLOSING

7.1 Sellers’ Pre-Closing Default; Failure to Satisfy Purchaser Closing Conditions

7.1.1 Sellers’ Pre-Closing Default; Purchaser’s Pre-Closing Remedies. If any Seller breaches its obligations under this Agreement prior to the Closing in any material respect and such breach has not been cured within 30 days after written notice thereof from Purchaser (provided that the parties agree and acknowledge that if such 30-day period would exceed the Closing Date, at their option, Sellers may extend the Closing Date for the period required to effect such cure, but not beyond the date which is 30 days after Purchaser’s foregoing written notice), then, as Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy hereunder and at Purchaser’s option, Purchaser may, upon notice to Sellers, given not more than 15 Business Days after the expiration of such cure period: (a) terminate this Agreement in its entirety by giving Sellers written notice of such election prior to or at the Closing and (i) receive the Deposit then held by Escrowee (and any interest thereon), and (ii) recover from the applicable Sellers all of Purchaser’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including, but not limited to, its reasonable legal fees and diligence costs, which reimbursement in the aggregate amount amongst all Sellers shall not exceed $644,882; (b) waive the default and proceed to the Closing (subject to the terms of this Agreement); (c) if Purchaser determines that such breach is curable but additional time is needed to cure such breach, extend the cure period and defer the Closing of one or more Hotel Assets to be sold in the Closing or; (d) seek specific performance of this Agreement against Sellers by filing an action therefore within 60 days after the originally scheduled Closing Date; or (e) if applicable, elect to treat the Hotel Asset with respect to which such breach of representation or warranty occurred as an Excluded Representation Asset and proceed to the Closing (subject to the terms of this Agreement) with respect to the other applicable Hotel Assets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any Seller willfully breaches this Agreement and sells its applicable Hotel Asset to someone other than Purchaser while this Agreement is in effect, then Purchaser shall be entitled to bring an action against Sellers to recover all of its damages and costs relating to such breach, including, but not limited to, actual, compensatory, consequential, special and punitive damages.

7.1.2 Failure to Satisfy Purchaser Closing Conditions. Without derogating from Purchaser’s rights under Section 7.1.1, if on the Closing Date any of the Purchaser Closing Conditions are not satisfied with respect to the Closing (other than as a result of a material default by Purchaser hereunder), then Purchaser may elect, at Purchaser’s option and as Purchaser’s sole remedy, to either (i) waive such condition and proceed to the Closing, (ii) if Purchaser determines that such Purchaser Closing Condition may be satisfied with additional time, defer the Closing for a period of not more than 60 days, but not later than the date set forth in Section 4.1, upon written notice from Purchaser to Sellers or (iii) elect to terminate this Agreement in its entirety by giving Sellers written notice of such election prior to or at the Closing and receive the Deposit then held by Escrowee (and any interest thereon); provided, however, such termination shall not terminate Purchaser’s obligations set forth in Section 12.17.

7.2 Purchaser’s Pre-Closing Defaults; Failure to Satisfy Sellers’ Closing Conditions

7.2.1 Purchaser’s Pre-Closing Default; Sellers’ Pre-Closing Remedies. If Purchaser breaches its obligations under this Agreement prior to the Closing in any material respect and such breach has not been cured within 30 days after written notice thereof from Sellers (provided that the parties agree and acknowledge that if such 30-day period would exceed the Closing Date, at its option, Purchaser may extend the Closing Date for the period required to effect such cure, but not beyond the date which is 30 days after Sellers’ foregoing written notice), then, as Sellers’ sole and exclusive remedy hereunder, Sellers shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety by giving Purchaser written notice of such election prior to or at the Closing, whereupon the Deposit (or balance thereof) then held by Escrowee shall be forfeited to Sellers as liquidated damages (to be allocated amongst them in the same manner as the Purchase Price would have been allocated if the Closing had occurred), it being agreed between the parties hereto that the actual damages to Sellers in such event are impractical to ascertain and the amount of the forfeited Deposit is a reasonable estimate thereof and shall be and constitute valid liquidated damages. If Sellers terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.2.1, this Agreement shall be null and void and neither party shall have any rights or obligations under this Agreement (other than rights and obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement).

7.3 Pre-Closing Knowledge. If at any time after the Effective Date, either Purchaser or any Seller obtains any actual knowledge that any representation or warranty of Sellers contained herein is untrue in any material manner, said party shall promptly disclose such fact in writing to the other parties hereto. If such misrepresentation was not intentional or did not result from the act of a Seller or its affiliates or agents to cause the representation or warranty to become untrue, such Seller shall not be in default under this Agreement and the sole remedy of Purchaser shall be to (i) proceed to the Closing (subject to the terms of this Agreement), in which case Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its rights with respect to any such breach of representation or warranty, or (ii) solely in the event that Seller fails to cure such breach within 30 days after written notice thereof from Purchaser (provided that the parties agree and acknowledge that if such 30-day period would exceed the Closing Date, at their option, Sellers may extend the Closing Date for the period required to effect such cure, but not beyond the date which is 30 days from Purchaser’s foregoing written notice), (A) if such breach of representation or warranty would cause a Purchaser Closing Condition to be unsatisfied, terminate this Agreement in its entirety by written notice to Sellers within five Business Days after the expiration of such cure period or (B) if such breach of representation or warranty would not cause a Purchaser Closing Condition to be unsatisfied, proceed to the Closing (subject to the terms of this Agreement) without waiving its rights with respect to such breach of representation or warranty (but subject in all respects to the other express limitations of this Agreement, including without limitation Section 11.1). The actual knowledge of Purchaser for the purposes of this Agreement shall mean the actual (and not imputed, implied or constructive) knowledge of the individuals set forth on Schedule 7.3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, none of the foregoing individuals shall have any personal liability whatsoever with respect to any matters set forth in this Agreement.

7.4 Post-Closing Remedies. From and after the Closing, Sellers and Purchaser shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the terms of Section 7.3 above and Section 11.1 below, have such rights and remedies as are available at law or in equity, except that, except as otherwise set forth herein, neither Sellers nor Purchaser shall be entitled to recover from the other consequential, incidental, indirect, punitive or special damages. Nothing contained in this Section 7.4 limits the terms of Section 7.1.

8. DILIGENCE; CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

8.1 Diligence and Inspection

8.1.1 Sellers shall promptly deliver to Purchaser, or make available to Purchaser in an electronic data room all due diligence materials regarding the Property as are typically provided by sellers of hotels or requested by purchasers of hotels, including without limitation, documents, reports and other information as set forth in Exhibit J hereto (collectively, the “Due Diligence Materials”). Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, Sellers are not making nor shall be deemed to have made any express or implied representation or warranty of any kind or nature as to any Due Diligence Materials provided, including, but not limited to, representations regarding the accuracy or completeness of any such Due Diligence Materials. Up until the final Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement, Sellers agree to deliver to Purchaser, or make available in such electronic data room, any additional and/or updated materials related to the Property reasonably requested by Purchaser in writing, to the extent in Sellers’ or any of its affiliates’ possession or control, and Sellers shall deliver such items within a reasonable period of time following such request. Up until the final Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement, Purchaser shall keep Sellers reasonably advised of the status of all negotiations and material communications with franchisors under Franchise Agreements and managers under Management Agreements (including their respective advisors and representatives).

8.1.2 Prior to the Closing, Purchaser and its agents, employees, attorneys, accountants, consultants, advisors, title company, lenders, inspectors, appraisers, engineers, contractors, affiliates, experts, partners, officers and other persons whom Purchaser deems reasonably need to know such information shall have the right, upon reasonable prior written notice to Sellers, to inspect any or all of the Hotel Assets to be acquired pursuant to the Closing or any subsequent Closing, and to examine at such place or places at the Hotels or elsewhere as the same may be located, any operating files and other information maintained by or for the benefit any Seller in connection with the physical condition, ownership, leasing, operation, current maintenance and/or management of the Property to be acquired, including, without limitation, (i) insurance policies, insurance carrier loss runs relating to the Property (or any portion thereof) and/or the operations and services conducted thereon for the five-year period immediately preceding the Closing, and (ii) to the extent in the applicable Seller’s possession or control, bills, invoices, receipts and other general records relating to the income and expenses of the Hotels, correspondence, surveys, plans and specifications, prior property improvement plans, warranties for services and materials provided to the Hotel, and any other documents and information relating to the Property to be acquired, including any and all environmental reports relating to the Property (or any portion thereof) received by Sellers (or the applicable property manager) since the applicable Seller became the owner thereof. Before entering upon any Real Property, Purchaser shall furnish to Sellers certificates of insurance for such Real Property evidencing: commercial general liability insurance coverage of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 in the aggregate. Sellers and their agents and affiliates of which Sellers have provided Purchaser notice shall be named as additional insureds under such policy. Such insurance coverage shall (i) be issued by an insurance company authorized to do business in the state where such Real Property is located having a rating of at least “A-VII” by A.M. Best Company, (ii) be primary and any insurance maintained by Sellers shall be excess and non-contributory, (iii) include contractual liability coverage with respect to Purchaser’s indemnity obligations set forth in this Agreement (it being understood, however, that the availability of such insurance shall not serve to limit or define the scope of Purchaser’s indemnity obligations under this Agreement in any manner whatsoever), and (iv) not contain any exclusions for work performed at or on residential properties, or for “insured versus insured” claims with respect any potential claim by Sellers against Purchaser. No inspection shall involve the taking of samples or other physically invasive procedures without the prior written consent of Sellers.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser’s indemnification obligations hereunder shall not include any obligation or duty whatsoever with respect to any such claims (including claims that the applicable Real Property has declined in value) to the extent arising out of or resulting from (a) the mere discovery or presence of any pre-existing Hazardous Substances, or (b) the results or findings of any tests or analyses of Purchaser’s inspection of the applicable Property conducted in accordance with this Section 8.1.2, or (c) any acts or omissions of any Seller or its affiliate or any of their respective members, partners, officers, directors, trustees, parents, subsidiaries, shareholders, managers, beneficiaries, employees, agents, representatives and advisors. The indemnification obligation of Purchaser in this Section 8.1.2 shall survive termination of this Agreement and the Closing.

If Purchaser delivers a notice under clause (ii) above before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then Escrowee shall immediately refund the Initial Deposit (and all interest accrued thereon) to Purchaser, and upon such refund, this Agreement shall be deemed canceled and of no further force or effect and no party hereto shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except those arising under provisions of this Agreement that expressly survive the termination hereof. Purchaser shall have the right to deliver Purchaser’s notice under clauses (i) or (ii) above for any reason or for no reason in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion.

9. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

9.1 Sellers’ Representations and Warranties. Subject to the exceptions and qualifications set forth in the disclosure letter delivered to Purchaser (together with all documents provided in connection therewith) on the Effective Date (the “Disclosure Letter”), each Seller hereby represents and warrants jointly and severally to Purchaser that (i) as of the Effective Date and (ii) as of the Closing Date (other than representations and warranties made specifically as to a certain date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be as of such certain date):

9.1.1 Each Seller is either a limited partnership, limited liability company, corporation or real estate investment trust, duly organized, validly existing, in good standing under the laws of the state of its formation or incorporation (as the case may be) and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which it owns fee title in the applicable Hotel Asset, as indicated on Section 9.1.1 of the Disclosure Letter. True, correct and complete copies of the organizational documents (and any amendments or modifications to any such documents (the “Organizational Documents”)) governing each Seller have been delivered or made available to Purchaser prior to the Effective Date. All of the Organizational Documents are in full force and effect and unmodified since the date of delivery of same to Purchaser.

9.1.2 Each Seller has full power, right and authority to (i) execute and deliver this Agreement and the Closing Documents, (ii) perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder and (iii) consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. “Closing Documents” means any agreement, certificate, instrument or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Closing Documents, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, have been duly and properly authorized by proper partnership, limited liability company, corporate or trust action, as applicable, in accordance with applicable law and with the Organizational Documents of such Seller. No further partnership, limited liability company, corporate or trust proceedings on the part of any Seller are necessary to authorize this Agreement or the Closing Documents, or to consummate the purchase and sale of the individual Hotel Asset(s) owned by such Seller in accordance with the terms hereof. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by each Seller. This Agreement and the Closing Documents when executed and delivered by Sellers and Purchaser, as applicable, will constitute the legal, valid and binding agreement of each Seller, enforceable against each Seller in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights or by general equity principles.

9.1.3 No consent, approval, order, waiver, authorization, registration or declaration is required to be obtained by any Seller from, and no notice or filing is required to be given by any Seller to or made by any Seller with, any governmental authority or other person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by any Seller of this Agreement or the Closing Documents.

9.1.4 Neither the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or the Closing Documents, nor the consummation of the purchase and sale of any Seller’s applicable Property will (i) violate, conflict with or constitute a default under any Organizational Document of any Seller, (ii) violate, conflict with or constitute a default under any contract, bond, note or other instrument of indebtedness, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease or other agreement or instrument to which any Seller is a party or (iii) constitute a violation of any law, statute, regulation, rule, order, writ, judgment, injunction or decree of any governmental authority applicable to any Seller or its assets or properties.

9.1.5 Within 5 Business Days after the Effective Date, each contract, license and other agreement, other than Leases, (and any amendments or modifications thereto), in each case, whether written or oral, that is material to the business, operations or maintenance of any Hotel Assets (each, a “Material Contract”) will be accurately identified by Sellers to Purchaser and will be included as Section 9.1.5 to the Disclosure Letter. Each Material Contract is in full force and effect and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Seller(s) and each other party thereto. Within 5 Business Days after the Effective Date, true, complete and correct copies of each Material Contract will be delivered or made available to Purchaser. No Seller has received or delivered notice of a breach, default or termination under any Material Contract that has not been cured or retracted, as applicable, and no default or breach exists under any Material Contract on the part of Seller(s) or, to Sellers’ Knowledge, any other party thereto. There exists no event, occurrence, condition or act (including the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) that, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or the happening of any further event or condition, would reasonably be expected to give rise to a default or breach by Seller(s) or, to Sellers’ Knowledge, any other party under any Material Contract.

Sellers jointly and severally hereby agree, subject to the provisions of this Section 11.1, to save, protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and Purchaser’s affiliates and their respective direct and indirect members, managers, partners, officers, directors, shareholders, employees and affiliates, and their respective successors and assigns, from and against any and all Losses or Claims incurred by Purchaser or its affiliates by reason of (i) any breach of any of the representations and warranties made by any Seller in this Agreement (subject, however, to any limitations on liability with respect to the same set forth herein, including in this Section 11.1 and, in the case of any breach of any representation or warranty by any Seller, as further described in Section 9.3, Sellers shall not have any obligation with respect thereto to the extent any claim under this Section 11.1 is made by Purchaser after the expiration of the applicable survival and claim period with respect to such representation or warranty); (ii) any action or inaction of any Seller or any Seller’s property managers for any Hotel Assets with respect to employment matters, including, but not limited to, employment-related taxes, policies, benefit plans and practices; (iii) any breach of any covenants of any Seller contained in this Agreement or in any Closing Documents which survives the Closing; (iv) events, contractual obligations, acts or omissions of any Seller that occurred in connection with the ownership or operation of a Hotel prior to the Closing; or (v) damage to property or injury to or death of any person occurring on or about or in connection with a Hotel or any portion thereof prior to the Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Closing occurs (and Purchaser shall not have, in writing, expressly waived, relinquished or released any applicable rights in further limitation), the liability of Sellers arising pursuant to or in connection with the representations and warranties of Sellers under this Agreement shall not, in the aggregate, exceed an amount equal to 2.5% of the aggregate Allocated Purchase Price of the Hotel Assets acquired by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, such limitation shall not apply to a breach of the representation and warranty set forth in Section 9.1.12. Sellers shall not be liable to Purchaser in respect of the representations and warranties (whether express or implied) of Sellers under this Agreement or any Closing Document unless and until the aggregate sum of such obligations of all Sellers exceeds $51,591, at which point Sellers shall be liable for the full amount of their obligations, subject, however, to the limit set forth in the previous sentence. The provisions of this Section 11.1 shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement. “Claim” means any claim, demand, liability, legal action or proceeding, investigation, fine or other penalty, and any damages or losses related thereto (including, without limitation, any loss of property, revenues or business or any loss in value (but not purely speculative losses), damages, mechanics’ liens, liabilities, costs and expenses, reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees, court costs, costs of investigation and remediation and charges and disbursements actually and reasonably incurred, as well as the cost of in-house counsel and appeals, but excluding any exemplary or punitive damages).

12. OPERATION OF THE HOTEL ASSETS; SELLERS’ COVENANTS. From and after the Effective Date until the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement:

12.1 Ordinary Course of Business. Sellers shall operate and maintain the Hotel Assets in the ordinary course of business in substantially the same manner as currently operated and maintained and shall comply with all approved 2015 budgets, including compliance with ongoing repairs, maintenance plans, capital expenditures and brand standards (or if not within any Sellers’ control, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable property manager to do so). No Seller may (i) sell, pledge, or otherwise transfer, change the status of title, remove or dispose of all or any part of any Hotel Assets (except for such items of Personal Property as become obsolete or are consumed or disposed of and replaced in the ordinary course of business), subject to the provisions of Section 5, (ii) enter into any Reservations or issue any Vouchers with respect to any Hotels, in each case, which are not in accordance with such Seller’s past practices at the Hotels or (iii) engage in any transaction or take any action other than in the ordinary course of business in substantially the same manner as currently engaged in. Sellers shall at all times keep “ordinary course levels” of both Supplies and Consumables at each applicable Hotel. With respect to Supplies (such as linen and xxxxx), “ordinary course levels” shall mean at a minimum two and one half full turns of par levels for each room at each Hotel. With respect to Consumables, “ordinary course levels” shall mean a minimum supply for each room at each Hotel plus supplies sufficient for an additional five Business Days.

12.2 Amended or New Contracts. No Seller shall amend, supplement, modify or terminate any existing Service Contract, Material Contract, Lease or other agreement with respect to any Property or enter into any new Service Contract, Material Contract, Lease or other agreement with respect to the Property that (i) will be binding on Purchaser following the Closing Date and (ii) will not be terminable by Purchaser without penalty upon no greater than 30 days’ notice, in each case, unless such Seller(s) (x) promptly deliver to Purchaser written notice and a copy thereof and (y) obtain Purchaser’s prior written consent thereto.

Sellers shall obtain the written approval of Purchaser, which written approval shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed, with regard to any actions to be taken in any such pending or threatened litigation or governmental proceeding including, without limitation, the defense thereof.

12.5 Management Agreements. With respect to each Management Agreement, the Seller(s) party to such Management Agreement shall promptly following the Effective Date deliver a termination notice in accordance with the respective terms of such Management Agreement to the property manager under such Management Agreement and all such Management Agreements shall be terminated as of the Closing. At Purchaser’s request, Sellers shall cooperate with Purchaser to enter into new property management contracts with the property managers for each Hotel Asset, including after Sellers send a termination notice with respect to such Management Agreement pursuant to the previous sentence. Sellers shall remain responsible for all amounts due or to become due under any Management Agreement (including, without limitation, any costs, expenses or liabilities arising out of the termination of any Management Agreement). This Section 12.5 shall survive the Closing.

12.6 Consents. If any Lease, security deposit, Reservation Deposit, Guest Ledger Account, Service Contract, Material Contract and/or any other third party contract that Purchaser agrees to assume pursuant to this Agreement requires the consent of the counterparty to the transfer of any Seller’s rights thereunder, such Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser in order for Purchaser to obtain such consents as of the Closing.

12.7 Current Contracts. Sellers shall (i) comply with and perform their obligations under any Lease, Service Contract, Material Contract and/or any other third party contract and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce the obligations of the applicable third parties thereunder.

Sellers shall (i) permit Purchaser and its agents and other representatives to audit the Books and Records of all Sellers and the Hotels and (ii) from time to time as reasonably requested by Purchaser, but not more than one time each calendar month, deliver to Purchaser monthly income and expense statements for each of the Hotels and statements of capital expenditures and deferred maintenance expenses incurred at each of the Hotels.

12.15 Additional Liabilities. Sellers shall not engage in the commencement of any litigation, arbitration or governmental proceedings without Purchaser’s prior written consent. In the event that any liabilities or obligations are created in violation of this Agreement, then Purchaser may offset the amount of such liability or obligation against any amount payable to Sellers under any other provision of this Agreement.

12.16 Hotel Employees. No Seller, Hotel or applicable property manager shall enter into any union contracts or other agreements with any employees or independent contractors at or relating to the Hotels which would be the responsibility of Purchaser from and after the Closing without advance notice to, and the written consent of, Purchaser. No Seller, Hotel or applicable property manager shall take any action with respect to individuals or independent contractors employed or providing services at or relating to any Hotel or Property (or any portion thereof) that could result in liability being incurred by Purchaser under any law or claim pertaining to the employment of individuals employed at or relating to a Hotel or Property (or any portion thereof), including, but not limited to, under the Worker Adjustment Retraining and Notification Act or similar state or local laws (the “WARN Act”), without advance notice to, and the written consent of, Purchaser.

12.17 Updated Financials. Sellers shall from time to time upon reasonable advance notice from Purchaser, provide Purchaser and its representatives with access to all financial and other information in its possession or control relating to Sellers which is deemed relevant and reasonably necessary, in the opinion of Purchaser’s outside, third party accountants to enable Summit’s independent auditors to timely prepare, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense (which expense shall include, but not be limited to, audit fees and costs associated with creating stand-alone financial statements for each Hotel), financial statements in compliance with any or all requirements of (i) Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission, (ii) any other rule or applicable law issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission or securities exchange and applicable to Purchaser or (iii) any registration statement, report or disclosure statement filed or furnished with the Securities and Exchange Commission by, or on behalf of, Purchaser.

12.18 Property Manager Reports. Promptly following delivery by any property manager to any Seller(s) of financial and/or other reports relating to any Hotel Asset, including without limitation, monthly financial reports, Seller(s) shall deliver or make available to Purchaser true, complete and correct copies of the same.

12.20 Material Property Agreement Estoppels. Within seven (7) Business Days following the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, each Seller shall prepare and deliver to each party to a Material Property Agreement (other than such Seller) (each a “Material Property Agreement Party”) an estoppel certificate in the form to be delivered to such Seller by Purchaser (the “Material Property Agreement Estoppel”) with respect to each Material Property Agreement identified by Purchaser and request each party to a Material Property Agreement thereto to execute and deliver the Material Property Agreement estoppel to such Seller. Each Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the prompt return of the executed Material Property Agreement Estoppels in substantially the same form delivered to such Seller by Purchaser. If a Material Property Agreement Party returns an executed Material Property Agreement Estoppel to a Seller, such Seller shall promptly deliver to Purchaser a copy of such executed Material Property Agreement Estoppel following such Seller’s receipt of such Material Property Agreement Estoppel. “Material Property Agreements” shall mean all reciprocal easement agreements, operation and easement agreements, development agreements, tax increment financing agreements, and payment in lieu of tax agreements, in each case relating to a Property.

12.21 Required or Prohibited Actions. Sellers shall not fail to take, or agree or commit (whether in writing or otherwise) to take, as the case may be, any of the actions required or prohibited in the foregoing Sections 12.1 through 12.20.

13. PURCHASER’S COVENANTS.

13.1 Liquor Licenses. Purchaser shall prepare, file and prosecute all applications before governmental authorities for the transfer or reissuance of the liquor licenses (“Liquor Licenses”) at the Hotels to Purchaser. Sellers shall cooperate with Purchaser (and, to the extent applicable, cause any subsidiary liquor licensee to cooperate fully) in any manner reasonably requested by Purchaser as required to successfully transfer the existing Liquor Licenses or effectuate the issuance of new Liquor Licenses to Purchaser, including, without limitation, providing and/or executing any and all forms, certificates, agreements or other documents in the form required by the relevant liquor board or licensing authority to (i) transfer and/or surrender current Liquor Licenses, (ii) issue new Liquor Licenses to Purchaser and (iii) transfer closed Liquor Inventory where lawfully permitted and in compliance with the applicable Liquor License (provided, however, that without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, Sellers and their subsidiaries shall not be required to incur any costs or expenses in the course of such cooperation and Purchaser shall reimburse Sellers and/or their subsidiaries for any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the transfer of any Liquor Licenses). If despite the exercise of such efforts by Purchaser, Purchaser is unable to obtain a transfer of a Liquor License or a new Liquor License on or before the Closing Date, then the applicable Seller shall, to the extent requested by Purchaser and to the extent legally permissible: (i) where a Seller or an affiliate is the sole licensee under the applicable Liquor License, enter into or cause such affiliate to enter into an Interim Beverage Services Agreement with Purchaser in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G (or in a form as close to Exhibit G as is feasible in light of the requirements of local law and custom), or (ii) where a Seller is not the sole licensee under the applicable Liquor License, (x) exercise diligent efforts to obtain from the licensee an agreement as similar to Exhibit G as is feasible and (y) use reasonable best efforts (including exercise any relevant rights under the applicable Management Agreement) to cause the applicable property manager under the applicable Management Agreement to enter an agreement as similar to Exhibit G as is feasible.

13.2 Hotel Employees. Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Permitted Assignee(s) or their respective agents (which may include, without limitation, Crestline Hotels & Resorts, LLC or any other property manager) to offer employment, effective as of the day of the Closing, to a sufficient number of employees employed at (including those employed by a property manager) each of the Hotels acquired by Purchaser or its Permitted Assignee(s) under this Agreement, that would reasonably be expected to result in neither Sellers nor their respective agents under the Management Agreements having any liability under the WARN Act with regards to any such Hotel. Sellers shall provide such information to Purchaser as is necessary for Purchaser to determine the minimum number of employees to be offered employment pursuant to the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, none of Purchaser, its Permitted Assignee(s) or their respective agents shall assume any compensation, severance, WARN Act or other obligations or liabilities with respect to (i) any employees of and/or independent contractors providing services at or relating to the Hotels for services rendered prior to the Closing and/or (ii) any employees and/or independent contractors at or relating to any of the Hotels for any period who are not offered and/or who do not accept an offer of employment from Purchaser, its Permitted Assignee(s) or their respective agents.

14. MISCELLANEOUS.

14.1 Indemnification Claims. The indemnifications contained in this Agreement shall be subject to the following provisions. The indemnitee shall notify indemnitor of any such claim against indemnitee within 30 days after it has written notice of such claim, but failure to notify indemnitor shall in no case prejudice the rights of indemnitee under this Agreement unless indemnitor shall be prejudiced by such failure and then only to the extent of such prejudice. Should indemnitor fail to discharge or undertake to defend indemnitee against such liability within 15 Business Days after the indemnitee gives the indemnitor written notice of the same, then indemnitee may settle such liability, and indemnitor’s liability to indemnitee shall be conclusively established by such settlement, the amount of such liability to include both the settlement consideration and the reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by indemnitee in effecting such settlement. The obligations set forth in this Section 14.1 shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement.

14.2 Entire Agreement. All understandings and agreements heretofore had between Sellers and Purchaser with respect to the Property are merged in this Agreement, which alone fully and completely supersedes any prior written or oral agreement among the parties concerning the subject matter hereof.

14.3 Assignment. Except for an assignment to a Permitted Assignee, which assignment must be completed and effective at least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, neither this Agreement nor any interest hereunder shall be assigned or transferred by Purchaser. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Permitted Assignee” shall mean one or more legal entities controlled, directly or indirectly, by Purchaser initially named herein. To be effective, an assignment to a Permitted Assignee shall (i) be fully executed by the assignor and the Permitted Assignee thereunder and delivered to Sellers at least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, (ii) contain a provision whereby the Permitted Assignee assumes all of the obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement in respect of a particular Hotel Asset and (iii) contain a remaking of each and every one of the representations and warranties made by Purchaser hereunder modified to reflect state of formation or incorporation (as the case may be) and entity type. Upon an assignment of this Agreement to a Permitted Assignee, as used in this Agreement, the “Purchaser” shall be deemed to include such Permitted Assignee. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon Sellers and Purchaser and their respective successors and assigns. Purchaser shall have the right, at least 10 days prior to the Closing Date, to designate a Permitted Assignee to be the recipient of one or more Hotel Assets.

The provisions of this Section 14.11 shall survive the Closing.

14.12 Cooperation with Financing.
