NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions set forth herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Sunstone Hotel Partnership, Sunstone Hotel REIT and the Interested Parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE I.
STRUCTURING TRANSACTIONS
1.1 Consent and Waiver. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Sunstone Hotel Partnership and each of the Interested Parties hereby (i) consent to each of the Formation and Structuring Transactions, (ii) waive any restrictions set forth under any agreement to which it is party and rights that it may have to object to any of the Formation and Structuring Transactions and (iii) agree to take all actions reasonably necessary or advisable to consummate the Formation and Structuring Transactions.
1.2 Unit Transactions. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Sunstone Hotel Partnership, Sunstone Hotel REIT and each of the Interested Parties hereby agree to perform the following transactions (the “Unit and Stock Transactions”) with respect to the issuance, distribution, exchange or purchase of membership units of Sunstone Hotel Partnership
(“Partnership Units”) and Common Stock as an integral part of the Formation and Structuring Transactions:
(a) Formation and Structuring. Each of the Interested Parties agrees to take or cause to be taken the actions set forth on steps (1) through (8) of Exhibit A.
(b) Purchase Transaction. Sunstone Hotel REIT will use the net proceeds from the sale of Common Stock in the IPO in excess of amounts that the board of directors of Sunstone Hotel REIT in its sole discretion determines Sunstone Hotel REIT needs for debt repayment, payment of expenses and other items associated with the offering and other general corporate purposes to purchase Partnership Units from the Interested Parties. The net proceeds from any exercise of any over-allotment option granted to the underwriters in the IPO will be used to purchase additional Partnership Units from the Interested Parties. In each case, the purchase will be at a price per Partnership Unit equal to the net price per share to Sunstone Hotel Investors of the Common Stock in the IPO and the purchases shall be made on a pro rata basis as set forth on Exhibit B.
(c) Allocation. The allocation of the total Partnership Units and shares of Common Stock to be issued among the Interested Parties is set forth on Exhibit B. The exact numbers of Partnership Units and shares of Common Stock to be issued and purchased shall be made by the board of directors of Sunstone Hotel REIT in its sole discretion at the time of the IPO in accordance with the allocations set forth in this Agreement with no further action on the part of any Interested Party. If any Interested Party purchases or sells a hotel prior to the IPO, the allocations shall be adjusted as agreed prior to the date hereof with no further action on the part of any Interested Party. Unless an Interested Party notifies Sunstone Hotel REIT otherwise prior to the IPO, 67.0% of the total Partnership Units and Common Stock to be received by each Interested Party shall be Partnership Units and 33.0% shall be Common Stock. If the tax consequences of the Unit and Stock Transactions change prior to the IPO, the steps on Exhibit A shall be adjusted to preserve the intended consequences as agreed prior to the date hereof.
1.3 Simultaneous Closing. The Unit and Stock Transactions shall close simultaneously with the closing of the IPO (the “Closing”).
1.4 Further Acts. Sunstone Hotel Partnership, Sunstone Hotel REIT and the Interested Parties shall perform, execute, and deliver or cause to be performed, executed, and delivered at the Closing or after the Closing, any and all further acts, instruments, and agreements and provide such further assurances as the other parties may reasonably require to consummate the Formation and Structuring Transactions contemplated hereunder. Sunstone Hotel REIT agrees to enter into a registration rights agreement with the Interested Parties in connection with the Closing that provides the Interested Parties with demand, piggyback and shelf registration rights in a form approved by the directors of Sunstone Hotel REIT.
1.5 Management Company. Sunstone Hotel Investors shall sell the assets and operations related to the management of the hotels to a third party management company prior to or in connection with the consummation of the Formation and Structuring Transactions and shall be entitled to keep the consideration, if any, from such sale.
