If Purchaser, in its sole discretion, is not satisfied with the results of its due diligence review of the Property for any reason or no reason at all, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Master Purchase and Sale Agreement by providing written notice to Seller prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (the “Due Diligence Contingency”). Upon termination of this Master Purchase and Sale Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.1.1, the Parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Master Purchase and Sale Agreement, except those which expressly survive the termination of this Master Purchase and Sale Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof. If Purchaser fails to notify Seller, in writing, on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, that Purchaser does not want this Master Purchase and Sale Agreement to terminate upon the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Master Purchase and Sale Agreement. If Purchaser terminates (or is deemed to have terminated) this Master Purchase and Sale Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.1.1, the Deposit (and all interest earned thereon) shall be promptly returned to Purchaser, without the need for notice from, by or on behalf of Purchaser or Seller.

If requested by Seller, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an original of Purchaser Due Diligence Reports for Seller, together with a reliance letter in favor of Seller from the Person who prepared Purchaser Due Diligence Reports; provided, however, that Seller shall pay for any fees, costs or expenses charged by the Person for the original Purchaser Due Diligence Reports and/or reliance letters. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate Seller to purchase the Purchaser Due Diligence Reports from Purchaser.

4.1.5 Release and Indemnification. Purchaser (for itself and all Purchaser Indemnitees) hereby releases Seller Indemnitees for any Indemnification Loss incurred by any Purchaser Indemnitee arising from or in connection with the Inspections (including, without limitation, any liens placed on the Property, including any Excluded Property, caused by or at the direction of Purchaser), except to the extent resulting from Seller’s or any Seller Indemnitees’ negligent act or omission or breach by Seller of this Master Purchase and Sale Agreement. Purchaser shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller Indemnitees in accordance with ARTICLE XV hereof from and against any Indemnification Loss incurred by Seller Indemnitees arising from or in connection with the Inspections. Purchaser’s foregoing obligations shall not include any obligation or duty whatsoever with respect to Indemnification Loss (including Indemnification Loss that the Property has declined in value) arising out of, resulting from or incurred in connection with (i) any pre-existing conditions at the Property, including, without limitation, the discovery or presence of any Hazardous Substances, (ii) the negligent act or omission of Seller or any Seller Indemnitee, (iii) breach of this Master Purchase Agreement by Seller, or (iv) the results or findings of any tests or analyses of Purchaser’s environmental or other investigation of the Property.

Purchaser’s maintenance of the insurance policies shall not release or limit Purchaser’s indemnification obligations under Section 4.1.5 hereof.

4.2 Lender Approval Contingency.

The loan assumption documents will contain, among other provisions reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, those Lender representations and warranties regarding the Existing Financing as determined by Purchaser. Purchaser shall be solely responsible for obtaining the Lender Approval; provided, however, that (i) Seller shall, no later than three (3) Business Days following the Effective Date, deliver to each Lender any and all applications, authorizations, consents, approvals and other documents that may be necessary for each Lender to commence the Lender Approval process, and (ii) without limitation of the foregoing, Seller shall provide reasonable cooperation to Purchaser, at no expense to Seller, in connection with Purchaser’s efforts to obtain the Lender Approval. Purchaser shall use diligent good faith efforts to obtain Lender Approval prior to the date that is one hundred twenty (120) days from and after the Effective Date (the “Lender Approval Contingency Period”). Promptly following the execution of this Master Purchase and Sale Agreement by the Parties, Purchaser shall, if it has not already done so, commence the process of obtaining the Lender Approval. Purchaser agrees that it shall provide written notice to Seller promptly upon obtaining the Lender Approval (the “Lender Approval Notice”). If Purchaser does not provide Seller with the Lender Approval Notice on or before the expiration of the Lender Approval Contingency Period, the Purchaser Closing Condition described in Section 9.2.1(E) and the Seller Closing Condition described in Section 9.3.1(F) for such Property shall each be deemed not to have been satisfied, and Purchaser and Seller each shall have the right to terminate the Individual Purchase and Sale Agreement governing such Property. Furthermore, if Purchaser does not provide Seller with a Lender Approval Notice on or before expiration of the Lender Approval Contingency Period for enough properties to satisfy the Acquisition Threshold for both this Master Purchase and Sale Agreement and the Other Master Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Purchase Closing Condition described in Section 9.2.1(H) and the Seller Closing Condition described in Section 9.3.1(H) shall each be deemed not to have been satisfied and Purchaser and Seller each shall have the right to terminate this Master Purchase and Sale Agreement anytime thereafter by providing written notice to the other; provided, however, that neither Party shall be permitted to terminate this Master Purchase and Sale Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.2 after a Closing has occurred under this Master Purchase and Sale Agreement or the Other Master Purchase and Sale Agreement; however, each Party shall have the right to terminate an Individual Purchase Agreement for which a condition precedent set forth in ARTICLE IX is not met or waived, in writing, by the Party in whose favor such condition exists. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Acquisition Threshold is satisfied for both this Master Purchase and Sale Agreement and the Other Master Purchase and Sale Agreement, any time prior to the termination of this Master Purchase and Sale Agreement by either Party, the Seller Closing Condition described in Section 9.3.1(F) shall be deemed to be satisfied and Seller shall have no further right to terminate this Master Purchase and Sale Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.2. Purchaser shall be solely responsible for and shall pay any and all costs and expenses associated with obtaining Lender Approval, including, without limitation, any preparation fees and transfer fees required by the loan documents.

Purchaser shall be solely responsible for obtaining the Franchise Approval; provided, however, that (i) Seller shall, no later than three (3) Business Days after the Effective Date, deliver to each Franchisor any and all notices, applications, authorizations, consents, approvals and other documents that may be necessary for each Franchisor to commence the Franchise Approval process, and (ii) without limitation to the foregoing, Seller use good faith efforts and provide reasonable cooperation to Purchaser, at no cost or expense to Seller, in connection with Purchaser’s efforts to obtain the Franchise Approval. Purchaser shall use diligent good faith efforts to obtain Franchise Approval prior to the date that is one hundred twenty (120) days from and after the Effective Date (the “Franchise Approval Contingency Period”). Promptly following the execution of this Master Purchase and Sale Agreement by the Parties, Purchaser shall, if it has not already done so, commence the process of obtaining the Franchise Approval. Purchaser agrees that it shall provide written notice to Seller promptly upon obtaining the Franchise Approval (the “Franchise Approval Notice”). If Purchaser does not provide Seller with the Franchise Approval Notice on or before the expiration of the Franchise Approval Contingency Period, the Purchaser Closing Condition described in Section 9.2.1(F) and the Seller Closing Condition described in Section 9.3.1(G) for such Property shall each be deemed not to have been satisfied, and Purchaser and Seller each shall have the right to terminate the Individual Purchase and Sale Agreement governing such Property. Furthermore, if Purchaser does not provide Seller with a Franchise Approval Notice on or before expiration of the Lender Approval Contingency Period for enough properties to satisfy the Acquisition Threshold for both this Master Purchase and Sale Agreement and the Other Master Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Purchase Closing Condition described in Section 9.2.1(H) and the Seller Closing Condition described in Section 9.3.1(H) shall each be deemed not to have been satisfied and Purchaser and Seller each shall have the right to terminate this Master Purchase and Sale Agreement anytime thereafter by providing written notice to the other; provided, however, that neither Party shall be permitted to terminate this Master Purchase and Sale Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.3 after a Closing has occurred under this Master Purchase and Sale Agreement or the Other Master Purchase and Sale Agreement; however, each Party shall have the right to terminate an Individual Purchase Agreement for which a condition precedent set forth in ARTICLE IX is not met or waived, in writing, by the Party in whose favor such condition exists. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Acquisition Threshold is satisfied for both this Master Purchase and Sale Agreement and the Other Master Purchase and Sale Agreement, any time prior to the termination of this Master Purchase and Sale Agreement by either Party, the Seller Closing Condition described in Section 9.3.1(G) shall be deemed to be satisfied and Seller shall have no further right to terminate this Master Purchase and Sale Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.4. Purchaser shall be solely responsible for and shall pay any and all costs and expenses associated with obtaining Franchise Approval, including, without limitation, any PIP related expenses and any preparation fees and transfer fees required by the Franchise Agreements. Without limitation of the foregoing, nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate Seller to incur any expenses for, or to pay any amounts related to, any inspections of the Properties conducted by or on behalf of Franchisor. On or before the Loan and Franchise Application Date, Purchaser shall provide Seller with reasonable evidence that Purchaser has (i) commenced the application for Franchise Approval with respect to each and every Property, and (ii) paid all application fees and other costs and expenses which are due and payable as of the Loan and Franchise Application Date necessary for Franchisor to process Purchaser’s applications for Franchise Approval with respect to each and every Property. Upon a termination of this Master Purchase and Sale Agreement pursuant to, and in accordance with, this Section 4.4, the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser, in accordance with the Deposit Escrow Agreement, no later than two (2) Business Days after the termination; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be entitled to, and Escrow Agent shall not disburse to Purchaser, the allocable amount of the Deposit for any Property or Properties for which Purchaser did not deliver the foregoing evidence to Seller on or before the Loan and Franchise Application Date; and the allocable amount of the Deposit for any Property or Properties for which Purchaser did not deliver the foregoing evidence to Seller on or before the Loan and Franchise Application Date shall, instead, be disbursed by Escrow Agent to Seller in accordance with the Deposit Escrow Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, it is agreed by the Parties that if Purchaser fails to obtain Franchise Approval with respect to one (1) or more Property(ies) because Franchisor deems Purchaser a “competitor,” within the meaning of the applicable Franchise Agreement(s), Purchaser shall not be deemed in breach hereof, and Purchaser shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 4.4, be entitled to receive a refund of the Deposit with respect to any Property(ies) for which Purchaser failed to obtain Franchise Approval on account of the foregoing.

ARTICLE V

TITLE TO THE PROPERTY

5.1 Title Commitments. Purchaser shall endeavor to obtain prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, commitments for ALTA owner’s title insurance policies from the Title Company for the Real Property (collectively, the “Title Commitments”), together with a legible copy of all documents referenced therein obtained from the Title Company.

5.2 Surveys. Purchaser shall have the right during the Due Diligence Period to obtain up-dates of any surveys provided by Seller to Purchaser (each, an “Updated Survey”). In the event Purchaser does not obtain an Updated Survey prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and the Title Company determines that any existing survey is insufficient to permit the Title Company to remove or insure over any survey exception in the Title Commitment, then Seller shall have no obligation to cause the Title Company to remove or insure over any such survey exception.

5.3 Exceptions to Title.

5.3.1 Unpermitted Exceptions. If Purchaser objects to any (a) liens, encumbrances or other exceptions to title (the “Title Exceptions”) disclosed in the Title Commitment, or (b) encroachments by improvements on adjoining properties onto or over the Land, any encroachments of the Improvements onto or over adjoining properties, setback lines or easements (to the extent in violation thereof) or any other survey defects (the “Survey Defects”) disclosed in any surveys provided by Seller to Purchaser or in an Updated Survey (if any), Purchaser shall provide written notice to the Title Company and Seller specifying such “unpermitted exceptions” to title to the Real Property (the “Unpermitted Exceptions”) prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period; provided, however, that (i) the rights and interests of customers and guests at the Hotel to occupy rooms on a transient license basis, (ii) the rights of each tenant, as tenants only, under a Tenant Leases without any purchase right, and (iii) all liens and encumbrances caused or created solely by any Purchaser Indemnitee, shall in no event constitute Unpermitted Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller covenants and agrees at its sole cost and expense to remove or cause the removal on or prior to the Closing Date of the following: (i) any mortgages, deeds of trust or other security interests for any financing incurred by Seller (other than the Existing Financing) and any other monetary liens (including mechanics’ liens, tax liens, judgment liens and the like); (ii) Taxes which constitute Title Exceptions which would be delinquent if unpaid at the Closing; provided, however, that if any Taxes are payable in installments, such obligation shall apply only to the extent such installments would be delinquent if unpaid at the Closing; (iii) any lien, or right to a lien, for services, labor or material heretofore or hereafter furnished, imposed by law; and (iv) monetary defects and liens first appearing subsequent to the effective date of the title commitment but prior to the Closing (collectively, “Monetary Defects”). If Seller and Title Company are willing and able to cure or resolve the Unpermitted Exceptions to the satisfaction of Purchaser in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion (Seller having the right but not the obligation to do so to the extent such Unpermitted Exceptions do not constitute Monetary Defects, which Seller is obligated to so remove at or before Closing), then Seller and Purchaser will enter into a side letter with the Title Company setting forth which Title Exceptions and Survey Defects shall constitute the Unpermitted Exceptions, attaching proforma Title Commitments specifying only those exceptions which are not Unpermitted Exceptions and containing those corrections and endorsements specifically required by Purchaser (the “Title and Survey Side Letter”). If Seller and/or Title Company are unwilling or unable to remove or insure over the Unpermitted Exceptions to the satisfaction of Purchaser in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion, then Seller will deliver written notice to Purchaser specifying which Unpermitted Exceptions Seller is unwilling to cure at least ten (10) days following to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (Seller’s silence to be deemed Seller’s election not to cure such Unpermitted Exceptions), and Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be to terminate this Master Purchase and Sale Agreement within the five (5) Business Days of the expiration of said ten (10) day period or to proceed to Closing with the Title Policies delivered at Closing to contain said uncured Unpermitted Exceptions without a reduction in or credit to the Purchase Price. Purchaser shall have the right to a refund of the Deposit and the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser following the termination of this Master Purchase and Sale Agreement pursuant to this Section 5.3.1.

5.3.2 Permitted Exceptions. All Title Exceptions and Survey Defects that are not Unpermitted Exceptions and that are otherwise expressly set forth in the Title and Survey Side Letter and Title Commitments attached thereto described in Section 5.3.1 hereof shall constitute “permitted exceptions” to title to the Real Property (the “Permitted Exceptions”).

5.3.3 Updated Title Commitments or Surveys. If any update of any Title Commitment delivered to Purchaser after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period discloses any Title Exception which is not disclosed in the Title Commitment obtained by Purchaser prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (a “New Title Exception”), or any Updated Survey obtained by Purchaser after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period discloses any Survey Defect which is not disclosed in any Updated Survey obtained by Purchaser prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (a “New Survey Defect”), and (i) the New Title Exception or New Survey Defect would have a materially adverse effect on the ownership of the Property or use and/or operation of the Property after the Closing, and (ii) the New Title Exception or New Survey Defect was not caused by Purchaser or any Person on behalf of Purchaser, then Purchaser shall have the right to request that Seller remove or cure the New Title Exception or New Survey Defect at or prior to the Closing by providing written notice to Seller within the earlier of: (A) five (5) Business Days after receiving such update of the Title Commitment or the Updated Survey, or (B) the Closing (the “New Title and Survey Objection Notice”). If Purchaser provides a New Title and Survey Objection Notice to Seller, Seller may elect, by providing written notice (the “New Title and Survey Election Notice”) to Purchaser within the earlier of: (A) five (5) Business Days after Seller’s receipt of the New Title and Survey Objection Notice, or (B) the Closing, (1) to accept the New Title Exception or New Survey Defect as an additional Unpermitted Exception to be removed or cured at or prior to the Closing, or (2) not to remove or cure the New Title Exception or New Survey Defect. If Seller does not provide a New Title and Survey Election Notice to Purchaser within such time period, then Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to remove or cure the New Title Exception or New Survey Defect as an Unpermitted Exception pursuant to clause (2) of the preceding sentence. If Seller elects or is deemed to have elected not to remove or cure a New Title Exception or New Survey Defect, then Purchaser shall have the right to elect, by providing written notice (the “New Title and Survey Response Notice”) to Seller, within the earlier of (A) five (5) Business Days after Purchaser’s receipt of the New Title and Survey Election Notice, or (B) the Closing, to (1) terminate such Individual Purchase and Sale Agreement, by providing written notice thereof to Seller, in which case, the Parties shall have no further rights or obligations under such Individual Purchase and Sale Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided therein, or (2) proceed to Closing and accept title to the Real Property, subject to the New Title Exception or New Survey Defect, which thereafter shall be deemed to constitute a Permitted Exception, without any credit against the amount of the Purchase Price allocated to the Property described in such Individual Purchase and Sale Agreement. If Purchaser does not provide a New Title and Survey Response Notice to Seller within such time period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate the Individual Purchase and Sale Agreement pursuant to clause (1) of the preceding sentence. Purchaser shall have the right to a refund of the amount of the Deposit allocated to the Property described in such Individual Purchase and Sale Agreement and the same shall be promptly returned to Purchaser following the termination of any such Individual Purchase and Sale Agreement pursuant to this Section 5.3.3.

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

13.1 Seller Default. If, at or any time prior to Closing, Seller fails to perform its covenants or obligations under this Master Purchase and Sale Agreement in any material respect, which breach or default is not caused by a Purchaser Default, as hereinafter defined (each, a “Seller Default”), then Purchaser, as its sole and exclusive remedies, may elect to: (i) terminate this Master Purchase and Sale Agreement by providing written notice to Seller, in which case, any amount of the Deposit which has not already been allocated to a Property at a Closing in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Master Purchase and Sale Agreement shall be promptly refunded to Purchaser, and Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for all third-party costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated under this Master Purchase and Sale Agreement, in an amount not to exceed ONE MILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000) in the aggregate (the “Purchaser’s Costs”), and the Parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Master Purchase and Sale Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided herein; or (ii) seek specific performance of Seller's obligations under this Master Purchase and Sale Agreement and any related Individual Purchase and Sale Agreement; or (iii) waive any Seller Default at or prior to the Closing and proceed to the Closing without any abatement of the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Master Purchase and Sale Agreement, Purchaser shall not have the right to exercise its remedies under this Section 13.1 for a Seller Default or under Section 9.2.2 hereof for a failure of a Purchaser Closing Condition (each, a “Purchaser Closing Condition Failure”), unless Purchaser has provided written notice to Seller specifying, in reasonable detail, the nature of Seller Default or Purchaser Closing Condition Failure, as the case may be, and Seller has not cured Seller Default or Purchaser Closing Condition Failure, as the case may be, within thirty (30) days after Seller’s receipt of such notice (the “Seller Cure Period”); in which case, the Closing shall be postponed until the date which is five (5) Business Days after the expiration of Seller Cure Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller shall have no right to cure or extend the Closing Date for an intentional breach of a representation, warranty or covenant of Seller contained herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Seller purchases Purchaser’s Due Diligence Reports pursuant to Section 4.1.4 then the purchase price proceeds received by Purchaser shall offset that portion of Purchaser’s Costs equal to the purchase proceeds

13.2 Purchaser’s Default. If Purchaser fails to perform any of its covenants or obligations under this Master Purchase and Sale Agreement, in any material respect, which breach or default is not caused by Seller Default (each, a “Purchaser Default”), then Seller, as its sole and exclusive remedy, may elect to: (i) terminate this Master Purchase and Sale Agreement by providing written notice to Purchaser, in which case, any amount of the Deposit which has not already been allocated to a Property at a Closing in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Master Purchase and Sale Agreement shall be retained by Seller, and the Parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Master Purchase and Sale Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided herein; or (ii) waive any Purchaser Default at or prior to the Closing and proceed to the Closing without any adjustment to the Purchase Price. Purchaser acknowledge that it would be difficult to calculate actual damages caused by an intentional breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Purchaser contained herein, including, without limitation, the failure of Purchaser to purchase each and every Property, where such failure was not due to a Seller Default.

ARTICLE XIV

15.7.2 Resolution of Indemnification Claim Not Involving Third-Party Claim.

If the Indemnification Claim involves a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitor shall have the right (but not the obligation) to assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim, at its cost and expense, and shall use good faith efforts consistent with prudent business judgment to defend the Third-Party Claim, provided that (i) the counsel for the Indemnitor who shall conduct the defense of the Third-Party Claim shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee (unless selected by Indemnitor’s insurance company), (ii) the Indemnitee, at its cost and expense, may participate in, but shall not control, the defense of the Third-Party Claim, and (iii) the Indemnitor shall not enter into any settlement or other agreement which requires any performance by the Indemnitee, other than the payment of money which shall be paid by the Indemnitor.

15.9 Exclusive Remedy for Indemnification Loss.
