TRANSITION PROCEDURES

Section 11.1 Settlement Statement. On the day prior to Closing, Seller and Purchaser, through their respective employees, agents or representatives, jointly shall make such examinations, audits and inventories of the Hotel as may be necessary to make the adjustments and Prorations to the Purchase Price as set forth in Sections 10.1 and 10.2 or any other provisions of this Agreement. Based upon such examinations, audits and inventories, Seller and Purchaser jointly shall prepare prior to Closing a settlement statement (the “Settlement Statement”), which shall set forth Seller’s and Purchaser’s best estimate of the amounts of the items to be adjusted and prorated under this Agreement. The Settlement Statement shall be approved and executed by Seller and Purchaser at Closing, and shall be binding and conclusive on Seller and Purchaser with respect to the items set forth in the Settlement Statement. If, at any time within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, either Seller or Purchaser discovers any items which should have been included in the Settlement Statement but were omitted therefrom or items which were incorrectly adjusted or prorated therein, such items shall be adjusted and prorated in the same manner as if their existence or such error had been known at the time of the preparation of the Settlement Statement, and the Party in whose favor such original error or omission was made shall refund such difference to the other Party promptly after the original error or omission is discovered. Purchaser shall give Seller access to Purchaser’s books and records from and after the Closing Date for the purpose of making the adjustments contemplated by this Section 11.1. This Section 11.1 shall survive the Closing.

Section 11.2 Safe Deposit Boxes. Prior to the Closing, Seller shall notify all guests or customers who are then using a safe deposit box at the Hotel advising them of the pending change in ownership and operation of the Hotel and requesting them to conduct an inventory and verify the contents of such safe deposit box. All inventories by such guests or customers shall be conducted under the joint supervision of representatives of Seller and Purchaser. Upon such inventory and verification, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser all keys, receipts and agreements for such safe deposit box (and thereafter such safe deposit box shall deemed an “Inventoried Safe Deposit Box”). If the Closing does not occur on the Closing Date for any reason whatsoever, Purchaser immediately shall return all keys, receipts and agreements to Seller for such Inventoried Safe Deposit Boxes. Upon Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser all keys in Seller’s Possession for all safe deposit boxes not then in use, and a list of all safe deposit boxes which are then in use, but not yet inventoried by the depositor (the “Non-Inventoried Safe Deposit Boxes”), with the name and room number of such depositor. After the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall make appropriate arrangements for guests and customers at the Hotel to inventory and verify the contests of the Non-Inventoried Safe Deposit Boxes, and upon such inventory and verification, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser all keys, receipt and agreements for such safe deposit box (and such safe deposit box thereafter shall constitute an Inventoried Safe Deposit Box). Purchaser shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify the Seller Indemnitees from and against any Losses incurred with respect to, any theft, loss or damage to the contents of

any safe deposit box from and after the time such safe deposit box is deemed an Inventoried Safe Deposit Box pursuant to this Section 11.2. Seller shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees from and against any Losses incurred, with respect to, any theft, loss or damage to the contents of any safe deposit box prior to the time such safe deposit box is deemed an Inventoried Safe Deposit Box and such indemnification shall not be subject to the limitation of Section 14.3(b) of this Agreement. This Section 11.2 shall survive the Closing.

Section 11.3 Baggage. On the Closing Date, representatives of Seller and Purchaser jointly shall make a written inventory of all baggage, boxes and similar items checked in or left in the care of Seller at the Hotel, and Seller shall deliver to Purchaser the keys to any secured area which such baggage and other items are stored (the “Inventoried Baggage”). Purchaser shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify the Seller Indemnitees from and against any Losses incurred, with respect to any theft, loss or damage to any Inventoried Baggage from and after the time of such inventory, and any other baggage, boxes or similar items left in the care of Purchaser. Seller shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees from and against any Losses incurred, with respect to any theft, loss or damage to any Inventoried Baggage prior to the time of such inventory, and any other baggage, boxes or similar items left in the care of Seller and such indemnification shall not be subject to the limitation of Section 14.3(b) of this Agreement. This Section 11.3 shall survive the Closing.

ARTICLE XII.

DEFAULT; FAILURE OF CLOSING CONDITIONS

Section 12.1 Seller’s Default. If (i) at any time prior to Closing, Seller fails to perform any of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement in any material respect, which default is not caused by a Purchaser Default, or (ii) at Closing, Seller has not satisfied one or more of the Purchaser Closing Conditions to be satisfied by Seller at or prior to Closing (each, a “Seller Default”), and Seller has not cured such Seller Default within three (3) Business Days after Seller’s receipt of written notice of such Seller Default from Purchaser, then Purchaser, as its sole and exclusive remedies for such Seller Default, may elect to (i) terminate this Agreement, in which case Escrow Agent shall refund the Xxxxxxx Money to Purchaser upon Purchaser’s satisfaction of its obligations under Sections 4.1(d), 4.1(e) and 7.1(b) and Seller and Purchaser shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except those which expressly survive such termination; (ii) proceed to Closing without any reduction in or setoff against the Purchase Price; or (iii) bring an action for specific performance.

Section 12.2 Purchaser’s Default. If (i) Purchaser has not deposited the Xxxxxxx Money within the time period provided in Section 3.3(a), (ii) at any time prior to Closing, Purchaser is in fails to perform any of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement in any material respect, which breach or default is not caused by a Seller Default, or (iii) at Closing, Purchaser has not satisfied any one or more Seller Closing Conditions to be satisfied by Purchaser at or prior to Closing (each, a “Purchaser Default”), and Purchaser has not cured such Purchaser Default within three (3) Business Days after Purchaser’s receipt of written notice of such Purchaser Default from Seller, then Seller, as its sole and exclusive remedy, may elect (i) to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to Purchaser, in which case Purchaser shall cause Escrow Agent to disburse the Xxxxxxx Money to Seller within two (2) Business Days after such

termination, and Seller and Purchaser shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except those which expressly survive such termination or (ii) proceed to Closing pursuant to this Agreement, in which case Seller shall be deemed to have waived such Purchaser Default. Purchaser’s obligation to cause Escrow Agent to disburse the Xxxxxxx Money to Seller shall survive such termination.

SELLER AND PURCHASER AGREE THAT IF THIS AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 12.2, THE DAMAGES THAT SELLER WOULD SUSTAIN AS A RESULT OF SUCH TERMINATION WOULD BE DIFFICULT IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO ASCERTAIN. ACCORDINGLY, SELLER AND PURCHASER AGREE THAT SELLER SHALL RETAIN THE XXXXXXX MONEY AS FULL AND COMPLETE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES (AND NOT AS A PENALTY) AND AS SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR SUCH TERMINATION; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT SELLER SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THOSE OBLIGATIONS OF PURCHASER WHICH EXPRESSLY SURVIVE SUCH TERMINATION.

Section 12.3 Failure to Satisfy Mutual Closing Conditions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the provision of Section 8.4, if any of the Mutual Closing Conditions in Section 8.1 have not been satisfied or waived by both parties prior to Closing, then this Agreement shall be deemed to have been terminated automatically, without further action by the Parties, in which case Escrow Agent promptly shall refund the Xxxxxxx Money to Purchaser, and Seller and Purchaser shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except those which expressly survive such termination.

ARTICLE XIII.

CASUALTY; CONDEMNATION

Section 13.1 Casualty.

(a) Material Casualty. If the Property or any portion thereof is damaged or destroyed by fire or any other casualty prior to Closing (a “Casualty”), Seller shall give written notice of such Casualty to Purchaser promptly after the occurrence of such Casualty. If the amount of the repair, restoration or replacement required by a Casualty equals or exceeds five percent (5%) of the Purchase Price (a “Material Casualty”) and the Casualty was not caused by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Inspectors, or their respective employees or agents, then Purchaser shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to (i) terminate this Agreement, in which case Escrow Agent shall refund the Xxxxxxx Money to Purchaser upon Purchaser’s satisfaction of its obligations under Sections 4.1(d), 4.1(e) and 7.1(b) and Seller and Purchaser shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except those which expressly survive such termination, or (ii) proceed to Closing, without terminating this Agreement, in which case Seller shall (A) credit the amount of the applicable insurance deductible against the Purchase Price, and (B) transfer and assign to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all proceeds from all casualty and lost profits insurance policies maintained by Seller with respect to the Hotel, except those proceeds allocable to lost profits for the period prior to the Closing. Purchaser shall make an election under this Section 13.1(a) by giving written notice to Seller on or before ten (10)

Business Days after Seller’s delivery to Purchaser of written notice of such Casualty. If Purchaser fails to make an election under Section 13.1(a) within such time period, Purchaser shall be conclusively deemed to have elected to proceed to Closing pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 13.1(a). If the Closing Date is scheduled to occur within Purchaser’s ten (10) day election period, the Closing Date shall be extended until the tenth (10th) day after the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day election period.

(b) Non-Material Casualty. In the event of any (i) Casualty which is not a Material Casualty, or (ii) Material Casualty which is caused by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Inspectors, or their respective employees or agents, then Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement, but shall proceed to Closing, in which case Seller shall (A) credit the amount of the applicable insurance deductible against the Purchase Price (except if such Casualty is caused by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Inspectors), and (B) transfer and assign to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all proceeds from all casualty and lost profits insurance policies maintained by Seller with respect to the Hotel, except those proceeds allocable to lost profits for the period prior to the Closing.

Section 13.2 Condemnation.

(a) Material Condemnation. If the event of any actual or threatened condemnation or taking pursuant to the power of eminent domain of all or any portion of the Real Property, or any proposed sale in lieu thereof (a “Condemnation”), Seller shall give written notice of such Condemnation to Purchaser as soon as possible after Seller receives notice of such Condemnation. If the Condemnation would (i) result in the loss of more than five percent (5%) of the Land or Improvements (computed on a square foot basis), (ii) result in any material reduction or restriction in access to the Land or Improvements or (iii) or have a permanent material adverse effect on the operation of the Hotel as conducted prior to such Condemnation (a “Material Condemnation”), then Purchaser shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to (A) terminate this Agreement, in which case Escrow Agent shall refund the Xxxxxxx Money to Purchaser upon Purchaser’s satisfaction of its obligations under Sections 4.1(d), 4.1(e) and 7.1(b) and Seller and Purchaser shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except those which expressly survive such termination, or (B) proceed to Closing, without terminating this Agreement, in which case Seller shall assign to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest in all proceeds and awards from such Condemnation. Purchaser shall make an election under this Section 13.2(a) by giving written notice to Seller within ten (10) Business Days after Seller’s delivery to Purchaser of written notice of such Condemnation. If Purchaser fails to make an election under Section 13.2(a) within such time period, Purchaser shall be conclusively deemed to have elected to proceed to Closing pursuant to clause (B) of Section 13.2(a). If the Closing Date is scheduled to occur within Purchaser’s ten (10) Business Day election period, the Closing Date shall be extended until the tenth (10th) day after the expiration of such ten (10) day election period.

(b) Non-Material Condemnation. In the event of any Condemnation of any Real Property other than a Material Condemnation, Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement, but shall proceed to Closing, in which case Seller shall assign to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest in all proceeds and awards from such Condemnation.

Subject to the limitations, procedures or provisions set forth in Sections 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 14.3, 14.4, 14.5 and 14.6, Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees from and against any Losses incurred (i) after the Closing to the extent resulting from (a) any inaccuracy or untruth of any representations or warranties made by Seller in this Agreement, and (b) the breach by Seller of any of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement which expressly survive the Closing, (ii) after the termination of this Agreement to the extent resulting from the breach by Seller of any of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement which expressly survive such termination, (iii) to the extent due to events, contractual obligations, acts or omissions of Seller that occurred in connection with the ownership of the Property prior to Closing, (iv) to the extent due to damage to property or injury to or death of any person or any claims for any debt or obligations occurring on or about or in connection with the Property or any portion thereof or with respect to the Property’s operations at any time or times prior to Closing , or (v) to the extent due to any liability or obligations related to the Excluded Property (collectively, the “Seller Retained Liabilities”), but specifically excluding (w) any Losses to the extent related to covenants of Purchaser which, by the terms of this Agreement, survive Closing, (x) any Losses related to liabilities or obligations for which Purchaser received a credit at Closing pursuant to Section 10.1, (y) any Losses related to liabilities or obligations arising or accruing as of and after the Closing Date which Purchaser expressly assumed at Closing pursuant to this Agreement and (z) subject to Seller’s express representations and warranties in Section 5.1, any Losses incurred with respect to the physical condition of the Property (including without limitation, the environmental condition of the Real Property), but in each case expressly excluding the Seller Retained Liabilities.

Section 14.2 Indemnification by Purchaser. In addition to the Purchaser indemnities set forth elsewhere in this Agreement and subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 6.2 and 14.3, 14.4 and 14.5, Purchaser shall indemnify the Seller Indemnitees from and against any Losses incurred (i) after the Closing to the extent resulting from (a) any inaccuracy or breach of any representations or warranties made by Purchaser in this Agreement, or (b) the breach by Purchaser of any of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement which expressly survive the Closing, (ii) after the termination of this Agreement to the extent resulting from the breach by Purchaser of any of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement which expressly survive such termination, (iii) events, contractual obligations, acts or omissions of Purchaser that occur in connection with the ownership of the Property after Closing, or (iv) damage to property or injury to or death of any person or any claims for any debt or obligations occurring on or about or in connection with the Property or any portion thereof or with respect to the Property’s operations at any time or times after Closing.

Section 14.3 Limitations on Indemnification Obligations.

(a) Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties of Seller and Purchaser under this Agreement shall survive the Closing for a period commencing on the Closing Date and expiring at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date (the “Survival Period”).

(b) Indemnification Deductible and Cap. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Seller shall not be required to provide indemnification to the Purchaser Indemnitees pursuant to Section 14.1(i)(a) to the extent that the aggregate amount of all Losses incurred by the Purchaser Indemnitees for which Purchaser otherwise would be entitled to indemnification (i) does not exceed an amount equal to $1,000,000 (the “Indemnification Deductible”), or if such Losses exceed the Indemnification Deductible, Purchaser shall not be entitled to defense or indemnification for any amount up to the Indemnification Deductible, or (ii) exceeds $3,000,000 (the “Indemnification Cap”).

(c) Effect of Taxes and Insurance. The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided to any Indemnitee under this Article XIV shall be net of any tax benefits realized or insurance proceeds received by such Indemnitee in connection with the Indemnification Claim.

Section 14.4 Indemnification Procedure.

(a) Notice of Indemnification Claim. If any of the Seller Indemnitees or Purchaser Indemnitees (as the case may be) (each, an “Indemnitee”) is entitled to indemnification under any provision in this Agreement (each, an “Indemnification Claim”), the Party required to provide indemnification to such Indemnitee (the “Indemnitor”) shall not be obligated to indemnify Indemnitee unless and until such Indemnitee provides written notice to such Indemnitor promptly after such Indemnitee has actual knowledge of any facts or circumstances on which such Indemnification Claim is based or a Third-Party Claim is made on which such Indemnification Claim is based, describing in reasonable detail such facts and circumstances or Third-Party Claim with respect to such Indemnification Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) to the extent any Indemnitee is seeking indemnification for a breach of any representations or warranties, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification only for those matters as to which the Indemnitee has given written notice to the Indemnitor prior to the expiration of the applicable Survival Period, and (ii) an Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification to the extent such Indemnitee’s failure to promptly notify the Indemnitor in accordance with this Section 14.4(a) increases the amount of the indemnification obligation of the Indemnitor or prejudices the Indemnitor’s ability to defend against any Third-Party Claim on which such Indemnification Claim is based.

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

(c) Resolution of Indemnification Claim 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 such Third-Party Claim, at its cost and expense, and shall use good faith efforts consistent with prudent business judgment to defend such Third-Party Claim, provided that (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 such 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. The Indemnitee shall not enter into any settlement agreement with respect to the Indemnification Claim, without the Indemnitor’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Indemnitor’s sole discretion. If the Indemnitor elects not to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall have the right to retain the defense of such Third-Party Claim and shall use good faith efforts consistent with prudent business judgment to defend such Third-Party Claim in an effective and cost-efficient manner.

(d) Accrual of Indemnification Obligation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall have no right to indemnification against the Indemnitor for any Indemnification Claim which (i) does not involve a Third-Party Claim, but is disputed by Indemnitor until such time as such dispute is resolved by written agreement or other means as the Parties otherwise may agree in writing, or (ii) which involves a Third-Party Claim, until such time as such dispute or Third-Party Claim is concluded, including any appeals with respect thereto; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 14.4(d) shall limit the Indemnitee’s rights to defense with respect to such Indemnification Claim as otherwise set forth in this Article XIV.

Section 14.5 Exclusive Remedy. Except for claims based on fraud the indemnification provisions in this Agreement shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of any Indemnitee with respect to any claim for Losses arising from or in connection with this Agreement.

Section 14.6 Release of Seller for Environmental Liabilities. Purchaser acknowledges that it has had or will have an opportunity to become familiar with the Environmental Report, all matters set forth therein and the environmental status of the Real Property and that Purchaser shall make its own evaluation of and business decision regarding the foregoing, without any representation or warranty by Seller or any of its Affiliates. Notwithstanding any indemnification obligation of Seller under this Agreement, Purchaser does hereby forever release and discharge the Seller Indemnitees from any and all Environmental Claims and Environmental Liabilities, whether now known or unknown to Purchaser; provided, however, that such release and discharge shall not apply to any indemnification obligation of Seller under this Agreement, to the extent resulting from a breach of Seller’s representation or warranty set forth in Section 5.1(h).

expectations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be enforced upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited or unenforceable provision with a valid provision, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited or unenforceable provision.

For purposes of any suit, action or proceeding involving this Agreement, Purchaser and Seller hereby expressly submit to the jurisdiction of all federal and state courts sitting in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and consent that any order, process, notice of motion or application to or by any such court or a judge thereof may be served within or without such court’s jurisdiction by registered mail or by personal service, provided that a reasonable time for appearance is allowed, and the parties agree that such courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any such suit, action or proceeding commenced by either or both of said parties. In furtherance of such agreement, the parties agree upon the request of the other to discontinue (or agree to the discontinuance of) any such suit, action or proceeding pending in any other jurisdiction. Each party hereby irrevocably waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought in any federal or state court sitting in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and hereby further irrevocably waives any claim that such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient form.

In recognition of the benefits of having any disputes with respect to this Agreement resolved by an experienced and expert person, Buyer and Seller hereby agree that any suit, action or proceeding, whether claim or counterclaim, brought or instituted by any party hereto on or with respect to this Agreement or which in any way relates, directly or indirectly, to this Agreement or any event, transaction, or occurrence arising out of or in any way connected with this Agreement or the Property, or the dealings of the parties with respect thereto, shall be tried only by a court and not by a jury. EACH PARTY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, EXPRESSLY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION, OR PROCEEDING.

Seller shall cooperate in connection with the performance of such audits and shall provide all information reasonably requested by the accountants performing such audits with respect to the Property, at no cost or expense to Seller. In connection with such audits, Seller shall provide the accountants performing such audits with representation letters reasonably acceptable to Seller and such accountants, at no cost or expense to the Seller.
