(a) Purchaser represents that by reason of its business and financial experience, and the business and financial experience of those persons retained by Purchaser to advise it with respect to its investment in the Property, Purchaser has sufficient knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters to evaluate the merits and risks of

In addition, Purchaser acknowledges that it has had and will have during the Inspection Period a sufficient period of time to inspect, examine and investigate the Property and the Hotel’s operations (including, without limitation, to review and evaluate the physical (including the environmental) condition, survey and title matters relating to the Property) including, but not limited to, the Books and Records provided or made available by Seller or anyone acting on behalf of Seller and/or Manager. Purchaser represents, warrants and agrees that, except for the Seller Representations, Purchaser is relying solely on its own inspections, examinations and investigations in making the decision to purchase the Property. Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that it shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement and obtain a refund of the Deposit as a result of its dissatisfaction with any aspect of its investigation of the Property after the expiration of the Inspection Period.

(e) EXCEPT FOR THE SELLER REPRESENTATIONS, WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT NEITHER SELLER NOR ANYONE ACTING ON BEHALF OF SELLER HAS MADE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND OR CHARACTER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS AS TO TITLE (EXCEPT AS TO ACTS OF SELLER), ABSENCE OF DEFECTS (WHETHER APPARENT OR LATENT, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, EASILY DISCOVERABLE OR HIDDEN), HABITABILITY, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR ANY ORDINARY USE, FITNESS FOR ANY INTENDED USE OR PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ZONING, TAX CONSEQUENCES, PHYSICAL CONDITION, MOLD, ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION, UTILITIES, OPERATING HISTORY OR PROJECTIONS, VALUATION, GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS, THE COMPLIANCE OF THE PROPERTY WITH LEGAL REQUIREMENTS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT OF 1990, 42 U.S.C. 12101, ET SEQ., THE TRUTH, ACCURACY, OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY MATERIALS, DATA, OR INFORMATION PROVIDED BY OR ON BEHALF OF SELLER TO PURCHASER, OR THE MANNER OR QUALITY OF THE CONSTRUCTION OR MATERIALS INCORPORATED INTO THE PROPERTY OR THE MANNER OF REPAIR, QUALITY, STATE OF REPAIR OR LACK OF REPAIR OF THE PROPERTY OR ANY PORTION THEREOF. EXCEPT FOR THE SELLER REPRESENTATIONS, ALL SUCH REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED BY SELLER AND EXPRESSLY WAIVED BY PURCHASER. EXCEPT FOR THE SELLER REPRESENTATIONS, PURCHASER HAS NOT RELIED AND WILL NOT RELY ON, AND NEITHER SELLER NOR ANY OF THE SELLER RELEASE PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) IS LIABLE FOR OR BOUND BY, ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, GUARANTIES, STATEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS, OR INFORMATION PERTAINING OR RELATING TO THE PROPERTY MADE OR FURNISHED BY SELLER, ANY PARTY ACTING OR PURPORTING TO ACT FOR SELLER, OR ANY REAL ESTATE BROKER OR AGENT REPRESENTING OR PURPORTING TO REPRESENT SELLER, TO WHOMEVER MADE OR GIVEN, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, VERBALLY OR IN WRITING. PURCHASER FURTHER HAS NOT RELIED ON SELLER’S SKILL OR JUDGMENT IN SELECTING THE PROPERTY. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, PURCHASER SHALL HAVE NO RIGHT OR CAUSE OF ACTION IN WARRANTY OR OTHERWISE AGAINST SELLER OR ANY OF THE SELLER RELEASE PARTIES IN ANY

CONTROVERSY, CLAIM, DEMAND, OR LITIGATION ARISING FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROPERTY (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE PHYSICAL OR ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION THEREOF) AND PURCHASER HEREBY WAIVES AND RELEASES SELLER AND EACH OF THE SELLER RELEASE PARTIES FROM ANY SUCH RIGHT OR CAUSE OF ACTION.

(f) EXCEPT FOR THE SELLER REPRESENTATIONS, SELLER AND EACH PERSON ACTING OR PURPORTING TO ACT ON BEHALF OF SELLER HAS NOT, DOES NOT AND WILL NOT MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WITH REGARD TO (A) COMPLIANCE WITH ANY ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS, HEALTH OR SAFETY LAWS, RULES OR REGULATIONS OR LAND USE LAWS, RULES, REGULATIONS, ORDERS, OR REQUIREMENTS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THOSE PERTAINING TO THE HANDLING, GENERATING, TREATING, STORING OR DISPOSING OF ANY HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES, OR (B) ABSENCE OF ANY CLAIMS, WHETHER ASSERTED OR UNASSERTED, WITH RESPECT TO COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS OR ENVIRONMENTAL, FIRE LIFE SAFETY OR HEALTH AND WELFARE CONDITIONS AT THE PROPERTY. AS A MATERIAL PART OF THE CONSIDERATION TO SELLER FOR THE SALE OF THE HOTEL HEREUNDER, PURCHASER HEREBY WAIVES AND RELINQUISHES, AND RELEASES SELLER, MANAGER AND ALL OF SELLER’S AND MANAGER’S OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, SHAREHOLDERS, INVESTORS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS (COLLECTIVELY, “SELLER RELEASE PARTIES”) FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS AND REMEDIES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY RIGHT OF RESCISSION) AGAINST SELLER RELEASE PARTIES OR ANY OF THEM BASED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ON (A) ANY PAST, PRESENT OR FUTURE CONDITION OF THE HOTEL, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE RELEASE OR PRESENCE OF ANY HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES, MOLD, COMMUNICABLE DISEASE OR OTHER HEALTH OR WELFARE ISSUE OR (B) ANY MISREPRESENTATION, OR FAILURE TO DISCLOSE TO PURCHASER ANY INFORMATION REGARDING THE HOTEL (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY DEFECTIVE, HAZARDOUS OR UNLAWFUL CONDITION OF WHICH SELLER SHOULD BE AWARE, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH CONDITION REASONABLY COULD HAVE BEEN DISCOVERED BY PURCHASER THROUGH AN INSPECTION OF THE HOTEL OR ANY PORTION THEREOF OR THE PROPERTY RECORDS). NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING STATED TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE FOREGOING RELEASE SHALL NOT EXTEND TO (AND SHALL EXPRESSLY EXCLUDE) CLAIMS ARISING FROM SELLER’S FRAUD OR, SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, SELLER’S BREACH OF THE SELLER REPRESENTATIONS OR ITS EXPRESS COVENANTS AND OBLIGATIONS (INCLUDING INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS) SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. PURCHASER UNDERSTANDS THAT SUCH WAIVER AND RELEASE INCLUDES STATUTORY AS WELL AS “COMMON LAW” AND EQUITABLE RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AND THAT IT COVERS POTENTIAL CLAIMS OF WHICH PURCHASER MAY BE CURRENTLY UNAWARE OR UNABLE TO DISCOVER. PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND RELEASE IS OF MATERIAL CONSIDERATION TO SELLER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, THAT PURCHASER’S COUNSEL HAS ADVISED PURCHASER OF THE POSSIBLE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES OF MAKING SUCH

WAIVER AND RELEASE AND THAT PURCHASER HAS TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT, IN AGREEING TO PURCHASE THE HOTEL AT THE PURCHASE PRICE SPECIFIED HEREIN, SELLER’S DISCLAIMER OF ANY WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING THE HOTEL OTHER THAN THOSE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN. NOTHING HEREIN, HOWEVER, SHALL RELEASE SELLER FROM ANY LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY FRAUD BY SELLER OR SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, FOR A BREACH OF A SELLER REPRESENTATION.

ARTICLE III

PURCHASE PRICE

Section 3.1 Purchase Price; Deposit. The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) to be paid by Purchaser to Seller at the Closing shall be Sixty Six Million Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($66,400,000.00), subject to the prorations and adjustments as provided in this Agreement. Seller and Purchaser agree that the Purchase Price shall be allocated among (i) the Land and the Improvements, and (ii) the Personal Property as may be determined by mutual agreement of Seller and Purchaser prior to the Closing for federal, state and local tax purposes in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code as set forth on Exhibit L (the “Allocation”). Purchaser and Seller shall (i) cooperate in the filing of any forms (including Form 8594 under Section 1060 of the Code) with respect to the 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 Allocation, as the same may be adjusted pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 3.1 shall survive the Closing without limitation.

The Purchase Price shall be payable by Purchaser as follows:

(a) No later than 3:00 p.m. Central Time on the date one (1) Business Day after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall deposit with the Escrow Company, as escrow agent, the amount of One Million Six Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($1,650,000.00) by a wire transfer of immediately available United States of America funds as an xxxxxxx money deposit (together with the interest earned thereon, the “Initial Deposit”). In the event Purchaser does not deposit the Initial Deposit on or before 3:00 p.m. Central Time on the first (1st) Business Day following the Effective Date, this Agreement shall automatically terminate, whereupon the parties hereto shall be released from all further obligations under this Agreement, except for obligations that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement (the “Surviving Obligations”).

(b) No later than 3:00 p.m. Central Time on the date one (1) Business Day following the date which is the end of the Inspection Period, if Purchaser shall not have terminated this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser shall make an additional deposit with the Escrow Company, as escrow agent, in the amount of One Million Six Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($1,650,000.00) (the “Additional Deposit” and, together with the Initial Deposit, the Closing Extension Deposit (if any), and the interest earned thereon, herein the “Deposit”). In the event Purchaser does not deposit the Additional Deposit on or before 3:00 p.m. Central Time on the first (1st) Business Day following the expiration of the Inspection Period, the same shall be a default hereunder, and Seller shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement and to receive the Initial Deposit as liquidated damages, whereupon the parties hereto shall be released from all further obligations under this Agreement, except for obligations that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement. SELLER AND PURCHASER AGREE THAT SELLER’S DAMAGES RESULTING FROM SUCH A DEFAULT AS DESCRIBED IN THE PRECEDING SENTENCE ARE DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE AND ASCERTAIN AND THE AMOUNT OF THE INITIAL DEPOSIT (IN CONNECTION WITH A DEFAULT DESCRIBED IN THIS PARAGRAPH) IS A FAIR ESTIMATE OF THOSE DAMAGES AND SUCH AMOUNT IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.

(c) On the Closing Date, Purchaser shall pay the balance of the Purchase Price, subject to the prorations and adjustments provided for in this Agreement, in cash by certified check or wire transfer of immediately available United States of America funds to the Escrow Company, as escrow agent, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Purchaser shall be responsible for any income taxes payable with respect to any interest and/or dividends earned with respect to the Deposit. The terms of this Section 3.1(c) shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

Section 3.2 Application of Deposit. The Deposit shall be held and disbursed by the Escrow Company acting as escrow agent in accordance with this Agreement. The Deposit shall be invested in a federally insured interest bearing account mutually acceptable to Seller and Purchaser and any interest earned on the Deposit shall be paid to the party to which the Deposit is paid pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of any and all taxes payable in connection with any interest earned on the Deposit. If the sale of the Property is consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Deposit shall be applied to the Purchase Price to be paid by Purchaser at the Closing. In the event of a default under this Agreement by Purchaser or Seller, the Deposit shall be applied as provided in this Agreement.

ARTICLE IV

DILIGENCE MATTERS

Section 4.1 Inspection Period. The “Inspection Period” shall expire on January 12, 2015 at 5:00 P.M. Minneapolis, Minnesota time (except as expressly set forth in Section 4.9 with respect to the Franchise Approval). Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Purchaser and its representatives shall be permitted to enter upon the Property during the term of this Agreement to examine, inspect and investigate the Property including, but not limited to, all Books and Records located at the Property, subject to Manager’s good faith compliance with Legal Requirements with respect to access to any and all Employee records (collectively, “Due Diligence”); provided, however, the Purchaser shall have no right to terminate this Agreement based on such Due Diligence after the expiration of the Inspection Period (other than as set forth in Section 4.9 with respect to the Franchise Approval). Purchaser’s Due Diligence shall be subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in this Article IV, and Purchaser’s conduct shall be in strict compliance with the covenants and agreements contained in this Article IV.

Section 4.2 Review and Inspection. Purchaser shall have a right to enter upon the Property for the purpose of conducting its Due Diligence provided that in each such instance (i) Purchaser notifies Seller in writing of its intent to enter the Property to conduct its Due Diligence not less than twenty-four (24) hours prior to such entry; (ii) the date and time period are scheduled with Seller; and (iii) Purchaser is in full compliance with the insurance requirements set forth in Section 4.6. At Seller’s election, a representative of Seller shall be present during any entry by Purchaser or its representatives upon the Property for Due Diligence. Purchaser shall take all necessary actions to ensure that neither it nor any of its representatives unreasonably interfere with the guests of the Hotel or ongoing operations occurring at the

Property. Purchaser shall not cause or permit any mechanic liens, materialmen’s liens or other liens to be filed against the Property as a result of its Due Diligence.

Section 4.3 Testing. Purchaser shall have the right to conduct, at its sole cost and expense, any inspections, studies or tests that Purchaser deems appropriate in determining the condition of the Property; provided, however, Purchaser is not permitted to perform any sampling, boring, drilling or other physically intrusive testing into the structures or ground constituting the Property, including, without limitation, any so-called Phase II environmental assessment, without the prior written consent of Seller for such testing to be provided in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall have the right to conduct a non-intrusive Phase I environmental assessment without obtaining Seller’s prior consent, provided that such Phase I shall not include any sampling, boring, drilling or other physically intrusive testing into the structures or ground constituting any portion of the Property.

Section 4.4 Acceptance or Rejection. Purchaser shall have until the expiration of the Inspection Period to conduct its Due Diligence and to determine whether the Property is acceptable to Purchaser. If the Property is not acceptable to Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of termination (the “Termination Notice”) to Seller and the Escrow Company on or before the expiration of the Inspection Period. Upon receipt by Seller and the Escrow Company of such Termination Notice, (i) this Agreement shall automatically terminate, (ii) the parties shall have no further obligations to or recourse against each other (except for the Surviving Obligations, including, without limitation, the indemnification obligation set forth in Section 4.6) and (iii) the Escrow Company shall within one (1) Business Day of its confirmation of Seller’s receipt of the Termination Notice return to Purchaser the Initial Deposit. If Purchaser does not timely give a Termination Notice as aforesaid, Purchaser shall be deemed to have fully and knowingly waived any right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Article IV or otherwise in connection with its Due Diligence and thereafter the Deposit shall be non-refundable to Purchaser except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.

Section 4.5 Confidentiality. Purchaser agrees and covenants with Seller not to disclose to any third party (other than its agents and employees, directors, trustees, lenders, accountants, attorneys, and other professionals and consultants engaged by Purchaser (collectively, “Purchaser Parties”) in connection with the transaction contemplated in this Agreement who shall also be obligated, and have been instructed, under this Section 4.5 not to disclose) without Seller’s prior written consent, the existence of this Agreement or any of the terms or conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Books and Records or any of the reports or any other documentation or information obtained by Purchaser or any Purchaser Parties which relates to the Property, Seller or its Affiliates in any way, all of which shall be used by Purchaser and the Purchaser Parties solely in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, or the existence of any dispute under this Agreement, unless Purchaser or any Purchaser Party is (i) obligated by applicable Legal Requirements to make such a disclosure, (ii) is required to as may be necessary to obtain Permits from any governmental authority or (iii) is required to in connection with Purchaser’s or any Purchaser Party’s filing or other disclosures required by the Securities and Exchange Commission; provided, however, in no event shall Purchaser or Seller make or issue any public release except as set forth in Section 17.3. If such disclosure is required or permitted under clauses (i) – (iii) of this

Section 4.5, then Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing of such obligation to ensure Seller has the opportunity to prevent (or appropriately and reasonably limit) any such disclosure. If this Agreement is terminated, Purchaser agrees that all such information will continue to be held in strict confidence and Purchaser shall return all copies of such information to Seller and Purchaser agrees to provide Seller, without liability, representation or warranty, copies of any third-party tests, reports and inspections of the Property so requested by Seller which were made or conducted for or on behalf of Purchaser (excluding any such materials which are prohibited to be distributed by such third-party); provided, however, in the event Seller requests to have any such third-party test, report and/or inspection certified to Seller (to the extent permitted by such third-party), Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for fifty percent (50%) of Purchaser’s out-of-pocket costs if this Agreement has not been terminated as a result of a Purchaser Default, in which circumstance Seller shall have no obligation to reimburse Purchaser in connection with the delivery of such reports. Except as set forth in the Seller Representations, Purchaser shall have no right to rely on any such confidential information and Seller makes no representation or warranty to the completeness or accuracy of such confidential information and Purchaser shall indemnify Seller for any costs incurred as a result of Purchaser’s or any Purchaser Party’s use of such information in violation of this Section 4.5. The provisions of this Section 4.5 shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

Section 4.6 Indemnification; Restoration; Insurance. Purchaser agrees to save, protect, defend, indemnify and hold Seller, Manager and each of their Indemnitees harmless from and against any and all Liabilities suffered or incurred by any of Seller, Manager or any of their Indemnitees as a result of or in connection with any activities of Purchaser (including activities of any of Purchaser’s employees, consultants, contractors or other agents) relating to its inspection of the Property, including, without limitation, mechanics’ liens, damage to the Property, injury to persons or property resulting from such activities in connection therewith or a violation of the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement, except to the extent resulting from Seller’s, Manager’s or their respective Affiliates’ or Indemnitees’ gross negligence or willful misconduct. 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 Real Property has declined in value) to the extent arising out of or resulting from the mere discovery or presence of any pre-existing Hazardous Substances or other property condition. If the Property is damaged as result of or in connection with the activities of Purchaser, Purchaser, at its sole cost and expense, shall promptly restore the Property to substantially the same condition as it existed prior to such damage. Furthermore, Purchaser shall maintain and cause any of its representatives or agents conducting any Due Diligence to maintain and have in effect commercial general liability insurance with single occurrence coverage of at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) and aggregate coverage of at least Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) for personal injury, including bodily injury and death, and property damage, naming Seller and Manager as an additional insured parties, and containing a waiver of subrogation. Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a copy of the certificate of insurance effectuating the insurance required under this Section 4.6, prior to conducting any inspections or investigations at the Property. The provisions of this Section 4.6 shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

Section 4.7 Title and Survey.

(a) Prior to the Effective Date, the Title Company has delivered to Purchaser a title commitment for the Property (the “Title Commitment”) along with legible copies of each instrument listed as an exception therein (the “Title Exceptions”) and Seller has delivered a current ALTA survey (the “Survey”) of the Land and Improvements. All exceptions and matters set forth on Exhibit M attached hereto and any exceptions or matters caused by or through purchaser shall be “Permitted Exceptions”. On or before January 8, 2015 (the “Title Objection Date”), Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing of (i) any objections to the Title Exceptions or any other matter or encumbrance set forth on the Title Report (each, a “Title Objection”), (ii) any objections to the matters shown on the Survey (each, a “Survey Objection” and together with the Title Objections, collectively, the “Purchaser Objections”), and (iii) any and all endorsements which Purchaser desires if permitted under Minnesota title insurance regulations (including, without limitation, the form of such endorsements which Purchaser is willing to accept) (collectively, the “Objection Letter”); provided, however, in the event that Purchaser fails to deliver the Objection Letter on or prior to the Title Objection Date, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its right to object to any matters revealed by the Title Commitment and/or the Survey, and all matters shall be deemed “Permitted Exceptions”. Seller shall have three (3) days following the receipt of any such Objection Letter in which to give Purchaser written notice that Seller will either (A) cause such Purchaser Objections to be deleted as an exception from the Title Commitment or removed from the Survey to Purchaser’s satisfaction, or (B) not cause such Purchaser Objections to be deleted as an exception from the Title Commitment or removed from the Survey, provided that, if Seller gives written notice pursuant to clause (A), then Seller will, on or prior to the Closing, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Purchaser Objections to be deleted from the Title Commitment or removed from the Survey, or cause the Title Company to give affirmative insurance acceptable to Purchaser (in its sole but good faith discretion) with respect to such Purchaser Objections. If Seller fails to give any such notice within said three (3) day period, or gives written notice pursuant to clause (B), then Purchaser will have one (1) Business Day in either instance following the earlier of the expiration of Seller’s three (3) day period or the giving of such written notice by Seller (but not beyond the expiration of the Inspection Period) in which to elect to either (x) terminate this Agreement, or (y) waive the right to terminate this Agreement as a result of any such Purchaser Objections, which election must be made by the giving of notice thereof to Seller within said one (1) Business Day period, provided that, Purchaser’s failure to make such election to terminate or its failure to respond within said one (1) Business Day period shall be deemed a waiver of its right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 4.7 and all matters which Seller did not agree in writing to cause the Title Company to delete, remove or otherwise cure shall be deemed Permitted Exceptions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Seller shall remove at Closing (i) any mortgage, deed of trust or similar voluntary monetary lien affecting the Property; (ii) any mechanic’s or similar liens for work performed at the Property and not caused by any acts or omissions of Purchaser or any Purchaser Party; and (iii) Taxes which constitute Title Exceptions which would be delinquent if unpaid at Closing (individually and collectively, the “Seller Encumbrances”). Seller shall be permitted to use the proceeds from the sale to effect such removal at Closing so long as the same does not prevent or delay the Title Company from issuing the Title Policy as required under Section 9.1.

(b) If after the Effective Date, the Title Company issues an update to the Title Commitment and such update to the Title Commitment discloses an additional Title Exception other than a Permitted Exception or a Seller Encumbrance (which Seller is required to discharge in accordance with this Section 4.7) or a title encumbrance caused by or through Purchaser (or any Purchaser Parties) or expressly approved by Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or if an update to the Survey discloses a material new issue not disclosed by or set forth on the Survey, that in either instance, in Purchaser’s commercially reasonable good faith opinion materially adversely impacts title to the Property or the operation of the Hotel, then within three (3) Business Days of Purchaser’s receipt of such updated Title Commitment or the updated Survey, Purchaser may object to such new exception (and any change in an existing exception) shown in the updated Title Commitment or new matter disclosed by the Updated Survey, by providing Seller with a written notice of such objections (the “Intervening Lien Objection Letter”), which notice shall contain a reasonably detailed explanation of such objections. If Purchaser does not deliver an Intervening Lien Objection Letter within the time period specified above, Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted all exceptions contained in the updated Title Commitment and/or the Updated Survey (other than any Seller Encumbrances) and all such exceptions and matters and shall also constitute Permitted Exceptions. In the event any such objections are timely made by Purchaser, Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, exercisable by delivery of a notice to Purchaser (the “Seller’s Response Notice”) within one (1) Business Day after receipt of Purchaser’s Intervening Lien Objection Letter (the “Seller’s Response Period”) to commit to cure (by removal or, if acceptable to Purchaser in its sole but good faith discretion, by endorsement or otherwise) such objections in the manner specified in the Seller’s Response Notice within the time periods provided herein. The procurement by the Seller of a commitment for the issuance of a title policy or endorsement thereto (if acceptable to Purchaser in its sole but good faith discretion) by the Title Company insuring Purchaser against the exception or other matter shall be deemed a cure of such exception or matter as long as the Title Company agrees to delete such exception or (if acceptable to Purchaser in its sole but good faith discretion) affirmatively insure over such exception. Except with respect to Seller Encumbrances, if there are objections timely made by Purchaser that Seller elects or is deemed to have elected not to cure, then Purchaser shall have the right, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, within one (1) Business Day (such date, the “Outside Approval Date”) after the earlier of (i) receipt of Seller’s Response Notice or (ii) the expiration of the Seller’s Response Period to either (A) terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Seller whereupon this Agreement shall terminate, Escrow Company shall immediately return the Deposit to Purchaser, the Parties shall each pay one-half the costs of escrow, and neither party to this Agreement shall thereafter have any further rights or liabilities under this Agreement, except for the Surviving Obligations, or (B) be deemed to have agreed to accept title to the Real Property subject to all exceptions to title set forth in the updated Title Commitment as applicable, and all matters shown on the updated Survey, as applicable, other than those which Seller has expressly agreed to remedy in the manner set forth in Seller’s Response Notice (or is hereunder obligated to remove because such item constitutes a Seller Encumbrance) and proceed to Closing. If any such objections are not cured (or arrangements for such cure to be effective as of the Closing are not made) by Seller in the manner provided in Seller’s Response, then Seller shall be in breach of this Agreement and Purchaser may as its only option, elect any of the remedies set forth in Section 15.2.

Section 4.8 Space Leases, Hotel Contracts and Equipment Leases. Purchaser agrees to assume all obligations under the Space Leases and, to the extent assumable or any requisite consent is obtained, the Hotel Contracts, including any Equipment Leases, accruing from and after the Closing Date, provided that, Seller shall pay all of the actual out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with assignment and assumption of the Space Leases and the Hotel Contracts. Seller shall use reasonable efforts to obtain any required consents or satisfy any other requirements in connection with the assignment and assumption of all Space Leases and Hotel Contracts; provided, however, in the event Seller is unable to obtain any such consents or satisfy the requirements to assign any Space Lease or Hotel Contract, (i) such Space Leases and/or Hotel Contracts shall be excluded from the definition of Property, (ii) Seller shall not be in default hereunder, (iii) Seller shall remain solely liable for any and all costs in connection with the termination of any such Space Lease or Hotel Contract (including, without limitation, any break-up fees, termination fees or damages resulting therefrom), and (iv) the parties shall consummate the Closing in accordance with this Agreement without the transfer of such Space Lease and/or Hotel Contract to Purchaser. The provisions of this Section 4.8 shall survive the Closing.

Section 4.9 Franchise Agreement. So long as Purchaser complies with its obligations set forth in this Section 4.9, it shall be a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to Closing that Franchisor shall have agreed to Purchaser’s or its designee’s assumption of the Franchise Agreement and such amendments to the Franchise Agreement substantially in the same form as set forth in the form amendment attached hereto as Exhibit V (the “Form Assignment and Amendment”). Franchisor’s commitment in writing to enter into the Form Assignment and Amendment at Closing subject to Franchisor’s customary conditions for the assumption of a franchise license agreement in connection with the sale of a hotel to a third party that is not an affiliate of the Seller, in accordance with the preceding sentence, shall be referred to herein as the “Franchisor Approval”; provided that, the Franchisor Approval shall also include Franchisor’s confirmation that the Property Improvement Plan dated April 3, 2014 is in final form and that no other scope changes, capital improvements or other material work is required as part of the first phase of such property improvement plan other than any capital improvements or replacements or additions to any fixtures, furniture or equipment required to comply with Franchisor’s fire-life safety standards. Purchaser shall file its application together with all other documents required under the Franchisor’s Franchise Disclosure Document (the “FDD”) for the assumption of the Franchise Agreement no later than January 6, 2015. Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue and negotiate in good faith the final Form Assignment and Amendment and Purchaser shall undertake all such acts as may be reasonably necessary (including, but not limited to, the payment of any fees to Franchisor) to satisfy the closing condition set forth in Section 9.1(e) in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.9 on or prior to the Closing Date. At Closing, Purchaser shall assume all obligations of Seller under the Franchise Agreement; provided, however Seller shall remain solely responsible for the payment of any fees or expenses payable under the Franchise Agreement that accrued prior to the Cut Off Time (other than any obligation to pay any liquidated damages or any termination fees resulting from the Purchaser’s failure to assume the Franchise Agreement in accordance with this Agreement). If the Franchisor Approval has not been granted by the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser may elect to extend the Inspection Period for up to an additional ten (10) Business Days, for the sole purpose allowing Purchaser to obtain Franchisor Approval and for no other reason whatsoever, by delivering written notice to Seller of

such election (the “Extension Notice”) prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period. If Purchaser does not timely give an Extension Notice as aforesaid, Purchaser shall be deemed to have fully and knowingly waived such right of extension. If Purchaser timely exercises the extension of the Inspection Period set forth herein, then unless Purchaser shall deliver a written notice to Seller certifying that despite Purchaser’s commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Franchisor Approval and in connection therewith that Purchaser is electing to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.4 prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period as so extended (the “Franchise Termination Notice”), then Purchaser shall be deemed to have fully and knowingly waived any right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.4 or this Section 4.9 and thereafter the Deposit shall be non- refundable to Purchaser except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. Upon receipt by Seller and the Escrow Company of such Franchise Termination Notice, (a) this Agreement shall automatically terminate, (b) the parties shall have no further obligations to or recourse against each other (except for the Surviving Obligations) and (c) the Escrow Company shall within one (1) Business Day of its confirmation of Seller’s receipt of the Franchise Termination Notice return to Purchaser the Deposit.

Purchaser expressly acknowledges that (i) Seller has entered into this Agreement on the basis that no termination costs, fees or expenses or liquidated damages shall be payable by Seller as a result of the sale of the Property to Purchaser or as a result of Purchaser or its designee (at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense) assuming the Franchise, and (ii) Seller must receive a written release from Franchisor, on Franchisor’s current standard form, of any obligations of Seller or any of its Affiliates under the Franchise Agreement arising from and after Closing (including pursuant to any guaranties from Seller or any of its Affiliates pursuant to the Franchise Agreement but expressly excluding any amounts due and owing prior to the Closing Date other than any liquidated damages). If Closing occurs and Purchaser or its designee has not so assumed the Franchise Agreement with Franchisor as set forth above (and Seller has not obtained a release of Seller and its Affiliates as set forth above), in each case, such that no termination fees, liquidated damages or similar fees and penalties are payable by Seller or any of its Affiliates (including Seller or any entity owning a beneficial interest in Seller in its capacity as a guarantor or otherwise) as a result of the sale of the Property to Purchaser, then Purchaser shall be responsible for, and shall save, protect, defend, indemnify and hold Seller (and any Affiliate of Seller) harmless from any such termination fees, liquidated damages or similar costs, fees and penalties in connection with the Franchise Agreement as of the Closing and any other Liabilities of Seller had the release of Seller and its Affiliates as set forth above been obtained.

The provisions of this Section 4.9 shall survive the Closing.

Section 4.10 3-05 Audit. At Purchaser’s request, and to the extent in Seller’s possession (and without any obligation to incur any out of pocket expenses), Seller agrees to promptly deliver to McGladrey LLP all documents and financial information that McGladrey LLP reasonably requires to complete the audit of the financial statements of Seller in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America (“GAAP”). Seller acknowledges and agrees to use its reasonable efforts to also provide such additional information which is deemed relevant and reasonably necessary (as determined by McGladrey LLP) to enable Purchaser and its accountants to prepare and audit financial statements of Seller in compliance with (a) Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission which audit may commence at any time after the expiration of the Inspection Period; (b) any

other rule issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission and applicable to Purchaser; and (c) any registration statement, report or disclosure statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by, or on behalf of, Purchaser. Exhibit N attached hereto is a representative list of documents and financial information that may be required by McGladrey LLP to complete such audits; provided, however, that (1) Purchaser acknowledges that certain information may not be in Seller’s possession and Seller shall have no obligation to prepare any documentation that is not in its possession unless the cost thereof is paid by Purchaser and (2) Seller acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing is a representative description of the information and documentation that Purchaser and its accountants may require in order to comply with (a), (b) and (c) above. Seller shall engage (at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense) McGladrey LLP to commence any and all such required audits. In connection with the foregoing audit(s), and in furtherance of Seller’s obligations to assist Purchaser pursuant to this Section 4.10, Seller covenants and agrees to execute and deliver to McGladrey LLP certain audit representation letters, the form of which are attached hereto as Exhibit O (each, an “Audit Representation Letter”), provided that the form of such Audit Representation Letters may be modified as required to account for any issues identified during the audit. Seller’s obligations under this Section 4.10 shall survive the Closing for a period of fifteen (15) months.

(c) Methamphetamine Production. To Seller’s Knowledge, during Seller’s period of ownership of the Property, no methamphetamine production has occurred on the Real Property. This statement is intended to satisfy the requirements of Minn. Stat. Sec. 152.0275 Subdiv. 2(m).

Whenever a representation or warranty or other reference is made in this Agreement on the basis of the knowledge, actual knowledge, best knowledge or otherwise with reference to the knowledge of Seller (any such reference, “Seller’s Knowledge”), such representation, warranty or reference is made solely on the basis of the actual, as distinguished from implied, imputed and constructive, knowledge, on the date that such representation or warranty is made, of Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx and Xxxxx Xxxxx (collectively, “Seller’s Representatives”), without inquiry or investigation or duty provided, however, that the Seller’s Representatives shall have no personal liability whatsoever with respect to any such representation, warranty or otherwise under this Agreement.

Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the PIP Work and the Chiller Work lien free prior to Closing and provide Purchaser with (x) reasonable evidence that the PIP Work and the Chiller Work has been completed and paid for, (y) unconditional interim lien waivers with respect to any completed PIP Work or Chiller Work from the applicable contractors and subcontractors, and (z) if, and only if, possible given the amount of PIP Work completed, any applicable sign-offs from Franchisor as to such completed PIP Work; provided, however, if despite Seller’s commercially reasonable efforts, the PIP Work or Chiller Work is not completed in accordance with the foregoing clauses (x)-(z) (if applicable) on or prior to Closing, Seller shall not be in default under this Agreement and such completion shall not be a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to proceed to Closing, but Seller shall be unconditionally and irrevocably obligated to use commercially reasonable and diligent efforts to complete the work as soon as reasonably possible following Closing at its sole cost and expense, provided that Seller shall endeavor to complete the PIP Work and Chiller Work within forty-five (45) days after the Closing (provided that Seller have until July 1, 2015 to finalize and receive any lien waivers or related close-out payments with respect to the PIP Work). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller must obtain sign-off from Franchisor as to the first phase of the Property Improvement Plan issued on April 3, 2014 in order to complete the PIP Work. In the event that after the Closing Seller fails to complete the PIP Work or the Chiller Work in the manner required under this Section 10.1(b) (including by the time period above) and such failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days following written notice from Purchaser with respect thereto (and is not the result of any force majeure event beyond Seller’s control), then, upon

written notice to Seller, Purchaser shall have the right (but not the obligation) to exercise self-help remedies and if Purchaser so elects such self-help remedy, Seller shall assign any and all applicable contracts to Purchaser and Seller shall immediately reimburse Purchaser for any and all costs and expenses actually incurred by Purchaser which were due and payable under such assigned contracts or as otherwise necessary to satisfy Seller’s obligations under this Section 10.1(b); provided, however, Seller shall not cover any increased cost of the PIP Work or the Chiller Work resulting from any changes in scope or other modifications to the PIP Work or Chiller Work approved or implemented by Purchaser that are not required by Franchisor as part of the first phase of the property improvement plan issued on April 3, 2014 or as contemplated by the original contracts and subcontracts for such PIP Work or Chiller Work. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Seller’s obligations under this Section 10.1(b) shall in no way be limited or reduced by Section 5.3 (i.e., the Cap, Deductible and/or Survival Periods shall not apply). Seller’s obligations under this Section 10.1(b) shall survive the Closing.

(c) From and after the end of the Inspection Period, Seller shall not enter into any new Hotel Contract or Space Lease, or cancel, modify or renew any existing Hotel Contract or Space Lease that is not cancelable upon thirty (30) or less days’ notice and without payment of any penalty or termination fee, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, in its sole and good faith discretion; provided, however, that Purchaser’s prior consent shall not be required for Seller to enter into Hotel Contracts with third parties as required to complete the PIP Work so long as the same are upon commercially reasonable and arms-length terms and conditions. If Purchaser fails to respond to a request for consent within three (3) Business Days after receipt of such request, such consent shall be deemed given.

(d) Seller shall have the right and obligation, without notice to or consent of Purchaser, to make Bookings in the ordinary course of business and consistent with the Present Standard, including customary discounted rates.

(e) Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve in force all existing Permits and to cause all those expiring on or before the Closing Date to be renewed prior to the Closing Date. If any such Permit shall be suspended or revoked, Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser and shall take commercially reasonable measures to cause the reinstatement of such Permit. Seller shall join in all applications for and cooperate with Purchaser in obtaining all necessary consents, permits, approvals, and licenses, and otherwise cooperate with Purchaser as may be reasonably necessary to facilitate the transfer of the Property to Purchaser; provided, however, that any costs, expenses or fees paid or incurred by Seller in connection therewith shall be reimbursed and credited to Seller.

(f) From and after the expiration of the Inspection Period through the Closing Date, Purchaser shall have the right to consult with Seller and Manager with respect to the hiring, initially and with respect to any replacement, of the following Hotel staff positions: (i) general manager; (ii) director of human resources; (iii) director of food and beverage; (iv) chief engineer; (v) director of marketing; and (vi) comptroller/chief financial officer.

(g) Seller shall maintain in effect all policies of casualty and liability insurance, or similar policies of insurance, with the same limits of coverage which it now carries with respect to the Hotel.

(h) Seller shall not cause or permit any Fixtures and Tangible Personal Property or Operating Equipment located, installed or used in the Hotel as of the Effective Date (except Excluded Assets, if applicable) to be sold, exchanged, assigned, conveyed, leased, disposed of or removed, other than in the ordinary course of business conducted in accordance with the Present Standards or as contemplated by the PIP Work.

(i) Seller shall provide (and shall instruct Manager to provide) copies of any written notices received by Seller after the Effective Date from any governmental or quasi-governmental organizations regarding any violations of Legal Requirements.

(j) Subject to Article IV and prior to the Closing, neither Purchaser nor any of Purchaser’s representatives shall communicate concerning the Property with Manager, any tenant, employee, guest or occupant of the Real Property any governmental or quasi-governmental authority, agency, commission, board or regulatory body or any party to any Hotel Contract without the prior written approval of Seller, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(k) Between the Effective Date and the Closing Date or earlier termination of this Agreement, neither Seller, Manager, nor any of their respective Affiliates nor any of their respective members, partners, or agents (including, without limitation, any broker) shall offer, solicit or negotiate the possible direct or indirect acquisition of the Property (or any other form of transaction having a similar effect) or make any information about the Property available (for purpose of sale or refinance) to any Person other than Purchaser, its Affiliates and their respective designees, agents and/or authorized third parties. Seller agrees to direct its broker, if any, to cease the marketing of the Property. Such restrictions shall be in effect until the earlier of (i) the Closing Date, or (ii) the termination of this Agreement by either party pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof; and thereafter shall be null and void and of no further force or effect.

ARTICLE XI

CASUALTIES AND TAKINGS

Section 11.1 Casualties.

(a) If any damage to the Real Property shall occur prior to the Closing Date by reason of fire, windstorm, earthquake, hail, explosion, hurricane or other casualty, and if the cost of repairing such damage will equal or exceed Two Million Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,600,000.00), Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser and Purchaser may then elect to (i) terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller, whereupon Escrow Company shall immediately return the Deposit to Purchaser, the Parties shall each pay one-half of the costs of the Escrow, and neither party to this Agreement shall thereafter have any further rights or liabilities under this Agreement, except for the Surviving Obligations, or (ii) receive an

(b) If the cost of repairing such damage will not exceed Two Million Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,600,000.00), the transactions contemplated hereby shall close with appropriate adjustments to the Purchase Price equal to the deductible under the applicable insurance policy (to the extent such deductible is not applied by Seller for repairs prior to the Closing) and the costs and expenses incurred by Seller to negotiate or settle any casualty claim with an insurer and to stabilize the Property following such casualty and Purchaser shall receive an assignment of all of Seller’s rights to any insurance proceeds (excluding business interruption proceeds for the period prior to Closing).

Section 11.2 Takings. If, prior to the Closing Date, all or any portion of the Real Property is taken by eminent domain or by an act of governmental authority, or if an action for such taking is initiated or threatened, Seller shall promptly give Purchaser written notice thereof, and the following shall apply:

(a) If a Material Part of the Real Property is taken, or is to be taken, Purchaser may, within five (5) days after the delivery of Seller’s notice, by written notice to Seller, elect to terminate this Agreement, whereupon Escrow Company shall immediately return the Deposit to Purchaser, the Parties shall each pay one-half of the costs of the Escrow, and neither party to this Agreement shall thereafter have any further rights or liabilities under this Agreement, except for the Surviving Obligations.

(b) If a Material Part of the Real Property is taken, or is to be taken, but Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to paragraph (a) above, or if an immaterial part of the Real Property is taken by an act of governmental authority, Purchaser shall have no right to terminate this Agreement, and the parties shall nonetheless proceed to the Closing in accordance with this Agreement, without any abatement of the Purchase Price or any liability or obligations on the part of Seller by reason of such taking; provided, however, that Seller shall, at the Closing, (i) assign and turn over, and Purchaser shall be entitled to receive and keep, the net proceeds of any award or other proceeds of such taking which may have been collected by Seller as a result of such taking, less any portion thereof applied to the cost of repairs made by Seller prior to the Closing and less the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Seller in connection with obtaining payment of any award or other proceeds, or (ii) if no award or other proceeds shall have been collected, deliver to Purchaser an assignment of Seller’s right to any such award or other proceeds which may be payable to Seller as a result of such taking, less an amount equal to the cost of any repairs made by Seller prior to the Closing, which amount shall be paid to Seller by Purchaser at the Closing. If all or any part of the payment proceeds are paid to the holder of any mortgage or deed of trust or reversionary interest in the Real Property, then, at the Closing, Seller shall credit such amount against the Purchase Price.

ARTICLE XII

EMPLOYEES

Section 12.1 Employees.

(a) Unless Purchaser elects to retain Manager as the manager of the Hotel (pursuant to a separate hotel management agreement executed by Purchaser and Manager), Purchaser agrees that it shall offer to hire or cause to be offered to be hired effective at and upon the Closing, and after the Closing shall maintain or cause to be maintained the employment of, in each case upon terms and conditions of employment substantially and sufficiently similar to the terms and conditions of employment existing prior to Closing, a sufficient number of Employees so that the Seller, its Affiliates or Manager shall not be required to give any layoff, closing or other termination notices or otherwise incur any liability pursuant to the provisions of the Federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, 29 U.S.C. 2101 2109, or any similar applicable state or local law (collectively, the “WARN Act”).

If Purchaser, or any designee or management company engaged by Purchaser to employ Hotel personnel, elects not to hire a particular Employee at Closing, or, if following the Closing, Purchaser or such designee or management company desires to terminate the employment of any Employee hired by Purchaser or its designee or management company, Purchaser shall be solely responsible for complying or causing compliance with all applicable provisions of federal, state and municipal laws and regulations relating to such action, including without limitation any applicable provisions of the WARN Act. It is agreed that the number of Employees hired, the selection of which Employees are hired, and the initial terms and conditions of employment for each Employee hired by Purchaser, or its designee or management company engaged by Purchaser to employ Hotel Employees, shall be solely determined by Purchaser or such designee or management company, provided such terms and conditions of employment satisfy the provisions of this Section 12.1(a); provided, however, to the extent that Purchaser has received a credit at Closing therefor, Purchaser agrees to, and shall cause its designee or management company to, honor and recognize the seniority and vacation vesting rights of any Employee that was an Employee of Manager as of the day immediately prior to the Closing that is rehired by Purchaser or its designee or management company at the Closing.

(b) The Parties hereto agree that Purchaser will not be subject to any of the debts, obligations and/or Liabilities of Seller, its Affiliates or Manager which may exist with respect to the employment or termination of any Employees that arise prior to the Closing, or which are attributable to the termination of such Employees by Seller, its Affiliates or Manager

at or prior to Closing, except to the extent that such debts, obligations and/or Liabilities are expressly covered by a credit against the Purchase Price specifically provided in this Agreement. Except as required by applicable Legal Requirements, Seller covenants and agrees not to permit any labor organization to become the exclusive representative of any group of Employees for purposes of collective bargaining. The Parties hereto agree that Seller, its Affiliates and Manager shall not be subject to any of the debts, obligations and/or Liabilities of Purchaser, or Purchaser’s designee or management company, which are attributable to any actions or omissions of Purchaser or such designee or management company, or any agents or representatives thereof, in the process of the hiring any of the Employees, including, without limitation, any claims arising out of or relating to whether, and upon which terms and conditions, any such Employees are offered employment by Purchaser or such designee or management company, or are hired (or subsequently terminated) by Purchaser or such designee or management company, or which may otherwise exist regarding the employment of employees at the Hotel by Purchaser or such designee or management company from and after the Closing (“Purchaser’s Employee Obligations”).

(c) Purchaser shall save, protect, defend, indemnify and hold Seller, Manager and each of their Affiliates harmless from and against any Liabilities (including, but not limited to, payments made to Manager as the employer of the Employees) which may be incurred or suffered by any of them (i) under the WARN Act arising out of, or relating to, any actions taken by Purchaser prior to, on or after the Closing Date; (ii) in connection with any of Purchaser’s Employee Obligations; (iii) by reason of Purchaser’s failure to comply with any of the provisions of this Article XII; (iv) in connection with any compensation, employment taxes or Accrued Vacation Pay that, pursuant to Section 7.1(g) or Section 7.1(h), have become the obligation of Purchaser to pay; (v) in connection with any Liability arising out of Purchaser’s or its designee’s or management company’s employment policies, practices or procedures which occur on or after the Closing Date; or (vi) in connection with Purchaser’s violation or noncompliance with any applicable federal or state employment law on or after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, COBRA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), ERISA, the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA), the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).

(d) Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Purchaser and Purchaser’s Indemnitees harmless from and against any and all damages which any of them may sustain by reason of, or arising out of, or resulting from Seller’s failure to discharge any of the obligations and liabilities of Seller arising prior to Closing with respect to Employees employed by Seller or Manager or any Employee Benefit Plans maintained by Seller or Manager.

(e) Without limiting the generality of any other provision of this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall create any third-party beneficiary rights for the benefit of any union or any Employees of Seller or Purchaser or Manager.

(f) The terms, conditions and indemnity obligations set forth in this Section 12.1 shall survive the Closing.

ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

Section 14.1 Additional Covenants. In addition, the parties agree as follows:

(a) Liquor License.

Purchaser agrees to pay all fees, charges and related costs in connection with the transfer of the existing Liquor License or to obtain a new Liquor License. Promptly following the full execution and delivery of this Agreement, Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, or cause its designee to, complete, execute and file with the applicable liquor licensing authority all necessary applications for transfer of the Liquor License or to obtain a new Liquor License. If despite the exercise of such efforts by Purchaser, Purchaser is unable to obtain a transfer of the Liquor License or a new Liquor License on or before the Closing Date, then Seller agrees that to the extent required, it shall enter into a customary form interim beverage management agreement (the “IBM Agreement”) with Purchaser in form reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser (or its designee) and Seller, to the extent permitted by applicable law, including without limitation, an indemnification from Purchaser of Seller and Manager with respect to any and all damages, claims, losses, expenses, costs or other Liabilities arising during the term of such services agreement for a period not to exceed ninety (90) days following the Closing Date.

(b) Brokerage. Purchaser and Seller warrant and represent to each other that they have not had any dealings with any broker, agent or finder relating to the sale of the Property or the transactions contemplated hereby other than Xxxxx Xxxx LaSalle Americas, Inc. (the “Broker”). Purchaser and Seller each agree to indemnify and hold the other Party and its Indemnitees harmless against and from any and all Liabilities incurred arising out of or resulting from any claim for brokerage commissions, compensation or fees by any broker, agent or finder acting on such Party’s behalf, other than the Broker, which Seller is compensating under a separate agreement in connection with the sale of the Property. The provisions of this Section 14.1(b) shall survive Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

(c) Guest Baggage. All baggage of guests who are still in the Hotel on the Closing Date, which has been checked with or left in the care of Seller or Manager shall be inventoried, sealed and tagged jointly by Seller and Purchaser on the Closing Date. Purchaser hereby agrees to save, protect, defend, indemnify and hold Seller and its Indemnitees harmless

against any Liabilities in connection with such baggage arising out of the acts or omissions of Purchaser or its Affiliates (or any of their employees or agents) after the Closing Date.

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES; EFFECT OF TERMINATION

Section 15.1 Purchaser Default/Seller’s Remedies.

STAT. SEC. 559.21 AND RECOVER THE DEPOSIT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND NOT AS A PENALTY, IN FULL SATISFACTION OF ANY CLAIMS AGAINST PURCHASER (AND ESCROW AGENT WILL DISBURSE THE DEPOSIT TO SELLER UPON SELLER’S DELIVERY TO ESCROW AGENT OF A COPY OF A NOTICE OF CANCELLATION OF PURCHASE AGREEMENT WHICH SATISFIES THE REQUIREMENTS OF MINN. STAT SEC. 559.21, AN AFFIDAVIT OF SERVICE STATING THAT NOTICE OF CANCELLATION WAS SERVED UPON PURCHASER AND AN AFFIDAVIT STATING THAT PURCHASER FAILED TO COMPLY WITH REQUIREMENTS OF THE NOTICE OF CANCELLATION WITH THE TIME PERIOD SET FORTH IN MINN.

Section 15.2 Seller Default/Purchaser’s Remedies.

If Seller fails in any material respect to perform its obligations under this Agreement, and Seller does not cure such failure within five (5) days after its receipt of written notice of such failure from Purchaser (a “Seller Default”) (provided that such five (5) day cure period shall not apply to a default by Seller to deposit the Deed and other closing documents to be held in escrow with the Escrow Company on the Closing Date) then Purchaser may elect as its sole and exclusive remedy (at law or in equity):

(a) to terminate this Agreement and recover damages in an amount equal to the total of all of Purchaser’s out-of-pocket costs of the transaction actually incurred in connection with this Agreement and Purchaser’s Due Diligence, such amounts not to exceed Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) (“Seller’s Liability Amount”); provided, however, that this provision shall not limit Purchaser’s rights to receive reimbursement for any additional costs, expenses and/or fees (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and costs) pursuant to Section 15.3 below in addition to the Seller’s Liability Amount in the event of a dispute regarding the disposition of the Seller’s Liability Amount to the extent Purchaser prevails in such dispute;

(b) to waive the Seller Default and proceed to Closing; or

(c) to seek specific performance of Seller’s obligation to sell the Property to Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, if Purchaser elects to pursue any action for specific performance and such remedy is not available or enforceable by Purchaser for any reason other than as a result of Purchaser’s and/or its Affiliates’ willful acts, then Purchaser shall still have the right to terminate this Agreement and pursue all rights and remedies afforded Purchaser under Section 15.2(a) above, provided that in no event shall Seller be liable for any consequential damage.

If Purchaser initially fails to elect, by written notice to Seller, any of the foregoing remedies within thirty (30) days after Purchaser’s delivery of the default notice contemplated by this Section 15.2, Purchaser shall conclusively be deemed to have elected the remedy set forth in Section 15.2(a).

Section 15.3 Attorneys’ Fees. If any action or proceeding is commenced by either party to enforce or interpret their rights under this Agreement or to collect damages as a result of the breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding, including any bankruptcy, insolvency or appellate proceedings, shall be entitled to recover all reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and fees of experts, in addition to any other relief awarded by the court.

Section 15.4 No Reservation of Property. The preparation and/or delivery of unsigned drafts of this Agreement shall not create any legally binding rights in the Property and/or obligations of the parties, and Purchaser and Seller acknowledge that this Agreement shall be of no effect until it is duly executed by both Purchaser and Seller.

Section 17.3 Publicity. All press releases and all other publicity concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be jointly drafted and prepared by Seller and Purchaser, and Seller and Purchaser agree not to deliver or publish any press releases or other publicity regarding the sale of the Property pursuant to this Agreement except as expressly set forth in this Section 17.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge and agree that Purchaser will issue a press release after the Closing, the form and content of which shall be subject to the prior consent of Seller (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, however, Seller acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser’s press release shall be substantially similar to the form of those certain press releases previously issued by Purchaser or its Affiliates in connection with Purchaser’s or Purchaser’s Affiliates’ recent hotel acquisitions and Purchaser may disclose (i) the Purchase Price, (ii) the sum of capital expenditures, transaction costs, working capital and pre-paid operating costs, and (iii) the sum of (i) and (ii).

In the event Purchaser so assigns and delegates its rights and duties under this Agreement, it shall deliver to Seller at or prior to Closing an instrument of assignment and assumption evidencing such assignment and delegation. No Transfer, whether with or without Seller’s consent: (i) shall operate to release Purchaser or alter Purchaser’s primary liability to perform the obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement; or (ii) shall cause Seller to incur any cost or other economic detriment in connection with such Transfer.

ARTICLE XVIII

GENERAL ESCROW PROVISIONS

Section 18.1 General Escrow Provisions. The obligations and rights of the Escrow Company under this Agreement shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) The duties and obligations of Escrow Company shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement and no implied duties or obligations shall be implied against Escrow Company. Further, Escrow Company shall be under no obligation to refer to any other document between or among Purchaser and Seller referred to in or related to this Agreement, unless Escrow Company is provided with a copy of such document and consents thereto in writing.

(b) Escrow Company shall not be liable to anyone by reason of any error of judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted by Escrow Company in good faith, or for any mistake of fact or law, or for anything which Escrow Company may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith, unless caused by or arising out of Escrow Company’s actual and intentional misconduct or gross negligence.

(c) Escrow Company shall be entitled to rely, and shall be protected in acting in reliance, upon any writing furnished to Escrow Company by either Purchaser or Seller and shall be entitled to treat as genuine, and as the document it purports to be, any letter, paper or other document furnished to Escrow Company. Escrow Company may rely on any affidavit of either Purchaser or Seller or any other person as to the existence of any facts stated therein to be known by the affiant.

(d) If Seller shall become entitled to retain or receive the Deposit or other amount paid under this Agreement, Escrow Company shall pay the same to Seller together with all interest earned thereon and if Purchaser shall become entitled to a return of the Deposit or other amount paid under this Agreement, Escrow Company shall pay the same to Purchaser, including all interest earned thereon; provided, however, that no disbursement pursuant to this subsection shall be made by Escrow Company until the third (3rd) Business Day following the receipt or deemed receipt of notice by Seller and Purchaser from Escrow Company of its intention to so disburse, and disbursement made by Escrow Company after the passage of such three (3) Business Day period shall relieve Escrow Company from all liability in connection with such disbursement unless such disbursement is proscribed by order of a court of competent jurisdiction or objected to in writing by Seller or Purchaser. If such disbursement is objected to in writing by Seller or Purchaser within such three (3) Business Day period, then Escrow Company shall not make such disbursement until unanimously instructed in writing by Purchaser and Seller, or is directed to make such disbursement by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(e) In the event of any disagreement between Purchaser and Seller resulting in adverse claims and demands being made in connection with or against the funds held in escrow, Escrow Company shall refuse to comply with the claims or demands of either party until such disagreement is finally resolved (i) by a court of competent jurisdiction (in proceedings which Escrow Company or any other party may initiate, it being understood and agreed by Purchaser and Seller that Escrow Company has authority (but not the obligation) to initiate such proceedings), or (ii) by an arbitrator in the event that Purchaser and Seller mutually and jointly determine to submit the dispute to arbitration pursuant to the rules and under the jurisdiction of the American Arbitration Association, and in so doing Escrow Company shall not be or become liable to a party, or (iii) by written settlement between Purchaser and Seller.

(f) Purchaser and Seller each agree to jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless Escrow Company against any and all Liabilities incurred by Escrow Company (except to the extent the Escrow Company willfully disregards any provision of this Agreement to which it is bound) in connection with or as a result of any disagreement between Purchaser and Seller under this Agreement or otherwise incurred by Escrow Company in any way on account of its role as Escrow Company.

(g) Escrow Company in its sole discretion shall have the right to resign as Escrow Company under this Agreement, provided that it shall provide both Purchaser and Seller with at least fifteen (15) days written notice of such resignation pursuant to the notice provisions of this Agreement. Upon any such resignation, Escrow Company shall transfer the Deposit and any other amounts held by Escrow Company including any interest earned thereon to a successor Escrow Company jointly approved by Purchaser and Seller, whereupon the original Escrow Company shall have no further obligation or liability whatsoever as Escrow Company under this Agreement.

(h) Escrow Company may pay the Deposit into a court of competent jurisdiction upon commencement by the Escrow Company of an interpleader action in such court. The reasonable out-of-pocket costs and attorneys’ fees of the Escrow Company for such interpleader action shall be paid by the losing party in such interpleader action.

(i) The rights and immunities of Escrow Company hereunder shall apply equally to its partners, counsel, associates, employees, affiliates and agents.

(j) All of Escrow Company’s obligations under this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon disbursing the Deposit and any other amounts held by Escrow Company as set forth above.
