Objection Notice, to either (1) accept any one or more of such Title Objections as “unpermitted exceptions” to title to the Real Property (the “Unpermitted Exceptions”) to be removed or cured to Purchaser’s satisfaction (in its sole discretion) at or prior to Closing, or (2) electing not to remove or cure any one or more of such Title Objections; provided, however, if any such Title Objections are Mandatory Unpermitted Exceptions, then Seller shall be obligated to remove or insure over the same in accordance with Section 5.3.4; provided further, that Seller’s failure to timely deliver a Title and Survey Election Notice to Purchaser within such five (5) Business Day period shall be deemed Seller’s election not to remove or cure such Title Objections objected to in the Title and Survey Objection Notice (but excluding any Mandatory Unpermitted Exceptions). If the Parties cannot mutually agree on which Title Exceptions and Survey Defects shall constitute the Unpermitted Exceptions, Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the Due Diligence Contingency.

5.3.2. Permitted Exceptions. All Title Exceptions and Survey Defects other than those expressly set forth in the Title and Survey Objection Notice or in Section 5.3.1 shall constitute “permitted exceptions” to title to the Real Property (the “Permitted Exceptions”) if Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 5.3.1. In addition, if Purchaser raises any Title Objections in the Title and Survey Objection Notice, and Seller does not accept any particular Title Objections as Unpermitted Exceptions, but Purchaser nevertheless does not terminate this Agreement pursuant to the Due Diligence Contingency, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its objections to such Title Objections and to have accepted and agreed to accept such Title Objections as additional Permitted Exceptions at Closing.

5.3.3. Updated Title Commitment or Survey. If any update of the 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 previously provided to Purchaser (a “New Title Exception”), or any update of the Survey delivered to Purchaser after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period discloses any Survey Defect which is not disclosed in the Survey previously delivered to Purchaser (a “New Survey Defect”), and (i) Purchaser otherwise did not have Knowledge of such New Title Exception or New Survey Defect prior to the Effective Date, (ii) such New Title Exception or New Survey Defect would have a Material Adverse Effect on the ownership of the Property or operation of the Hotel after the Closing, and (iii) such New Title Exception or New Survey Defect was not caused by Purchaser or any Person on behalf of Purchaser (any such New Title Exception or New Survey Defect meeting these criteria, a “New Title Objection”), then Purchaser shall have the right to request Seller to remove or cure such New Title Objection at or prior to Closing by providing written notice to Seller within the earlier of: (A) five (5) Business Days after receiving such update of the applicable Title Commitment or 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, in its sole discretion, by providing written notice (the “New Title and Survey Election Notice”) to Purchaser within the earlier of five (5) Business Days after Seller’s receipt of such New Title and Survey Objection Notice or the Closing, (1) to accept such New Title Objection as an additional Unpermitted Exception, and commit in writing to either remove or cure such New Title Objection at or prior to Closing or to provide a credit to Purchaser at Closing in the amount of the Material Adverse Effect resulting or likely resulting to Purchaser as a result of such New Title Objection as mutually agreed by Purchaser and Seller each acting in good faith, or (2) not to remove or cure such New Title Objection; provided, however, if such New Title Objection

qualifies as a Mandatory Unpermitted Exception, then such New Title Objection shall constitute an Unpermitted Exception and shall be removed or insured over in accordance with Section 5.3.4. If Seller does not provide a New Title and Survey Election Notice to Purchaser within such time period, then Seller (except with respect to Mandatory Unpermitted Exceptions) shall be deemed to have elected not to remove or cure such New Title Objection 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 ten (10) Business Days after Purchaser’s receipt of the New Title and Survey Election Notice or the Closing, to (I) terminate this Agreement, in which case the Xxxxxxx Money shall be refunded to Purchaser in accordance with Section 3.2.4 and the Parties 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 and accept title to the Real Property subject to such New Title Objection (except with respect to Mandatory Unpermitted Exceptions) which thereafter shall be deemed to constitute a Permitted Exception, without any credit against the Purchase Price for such New Title Objection. 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 proceed to Closing pursuant to clause (II) of the preceding sentence.

5.3.4. Removal of Unpermitted Exceptions. Seller shall have no obligation to cure or remove any Title Exceptions or Survey Defects other than the Mandatory Unpermitted Exceptions and any other Unpermitted Exceptions set forth in the Title and Survey Election Notice or in any New Title and Survey Election Notice. Seller may cure any Unpermitted Exception by removing such Unpermitted Exception from title or causing the Title Company to commit to remove or insure over such Unpermitted Exception in the applicable Title Policy to Purchaser’s satisfaction (in its commercially reasonable discretion) at any time prior to or at Closing. If the Title Company does not agree to remove or insure over any Unpermitted Exception in the applicable Title Policy to Purchaser’s satisfaction (in its commercially reasonable discretion), but another nationally recognized title insurance company is willing to issue the applicable Title Policy without such Unpermitted Exception in such Title Policy and without a limitation of such title insurance company’s potential liability with respect to such Unpermitted Exception resulting from Purchaser’s knowledge of the defect, then Seller shall have the right to obtain, and Purchaser shall accept, a Title Policy from such other title insurance company which otherwise shall satisfy the requirements of Section 5.4, in which case the term “Title Company” shall be deemed to refer to such other title insurance company for the Real Property insured by such Title Policy; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be required to accept such Title Policy from any title company that is not a member of (i) the Fidelity National Title family of title companies, or (ii) the First American Title family of title companies.

5.3.5. Extension of Closing Date. If Seller fails to remove or cure any Unpermitted Exceptions prior to Closing, Seller shall have the right to postpone the Closing one or more times for no more than fifteen (15) Business Days in the aggregate, in each case by providing written notice to Purchaser no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the then scheduled Closing Date.

5.4 Title Policy. At Closing, upon delivery of the Seller Closing Deliveries and the Purchaser Closing Deliveries required hereunder and payment of the premiums and other costs and expenses therefor, the Title Company will issue (i) a 2006 ALTA Owner’s (6/17/06) extended coverage policy of title insurance for the Property other than the Land to Purchaser and (ii) a 2006 ALTA Leasehold Owner’s (6/17/06) extended coverage policy of title insurance for the Land to Purchaser (which may be in one or more combined or separate policies and in the form of a xxxx-up of the Title Commitment) in accordance with the Title Commitment, insuring Purchaser’s title to the Real Property as of the Closing Date, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions, with a liability limit in an amount equal to the mutually agreed upon value of the Real Property and otherwise in the form and with all endorsements required by Purchaser (collectively, whether one or more, the “Title Policy”).

5.5 Conveyance of the Property. At Closing, Seller shall convey the Real Property subject only to all (i) Permitted Exceptions, and (ii) all Unpermitted Exceptions which are cured by causing the Title Company to remove or insure over such Unpermitted Exceptions in the Title Policy in accordance with this Agreement, but which otherwise are not removed from title.

If, despite such diligent, commercially reasonable, good faith efforts by Purchaser, Purchaser is unable to secure as of the Closing Date a transfer of the Liquor Licenses (to the extent transferable) or the issuance of new or temporary Liquor Licenses for the continued provision of alcoholic beverages at the Hotel at Closing, then Purchaser and the current holder of the Liquor Licenses shall at Closing enter into an interim beverage agreement (the “Interim Beverage Agreement”) in form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, and as otherwise permitted by and in accordance with North Carolina law, and Purchaser shall have the right to extend the Closing Date, by delivery of written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent, for a period of up to seven (7) Business Days to obtain the transfer or issuance of new Liquor Licenses or an executed Interim Beverage Agreement.

8.3.2. Closing Requirement. Without limiting the obligations of the Parties under Section 8.3, the Parties do hereby specifically acknowledge and agree that to the extent (a) the Liquor Licenses are not transferable or have not been effectively transferred to Purchaser on the Closing Date (as the same may be extended by Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.3.1 above), or (b) new Liquor Licenses are not issued to Purchaser on the Closing Date, as applicable, such failure shall not constitute a Purchaser Closing Condition Failure, shall not affect in any manner whatsoever the Closing, and the Closing shall proceed without any delay or interruption

whatsoever provided Purchaser obtains an Interim Beverage Agreement, duly executed by the current holder of the Liquor Licenses.

8.4 Employees.

8.4.1. Retained Employees. Seller shall deliver to Purchaser no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to Closing a written notice (the “Retained Employees Notice”) setting forth those Employees that Employer intends to retain as Retained Employees or that Seller intends to cause Employer to retain as Retained Employees. Seller shall not cause the Retained Employees to be relocated from the Hotel prior to Closing without Purchaser’s consent. From the date of the delivery of the Retained Employees Notice until the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall not, through its manager, employees, agents, representatives or any other Person, directly or indirectly, solicit any Retained Employees which remain in the employ of any Noble Entity or of Manager or any Affiliate of Manager for employment without Seller’s prior written consent, which may be withheld in Seller’s sole discretion; provided, however, that such prohibited solicitation shall not include any general advertising, such as newspaper “help wanted” ads, internet or website postings, radio commercials, career fairs and job boards. From the date hereof until the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller shall not through its employees, agents, representatives or any other Person, directly or indirectly, solicit any of the Employees who are not Retained Employees for employment without Purchaser’s prior written consent, which may be withheld in Purchaser’s sole discretion; provided, however, that such prohibited solicitation shall not include any general advertising, such as newspaper “help wanted” ads, internet or website postings, radio commercials, career fairs and job boards.

8.4.2. Termination and Rehiring of Employees. Seller shall cause Employer to terminate the employment of all Employees (other than the Retained Employees) effective as of the Closing, and Purchaser shall (or shall cause its manager to) offer employment to all such terminated Employees (other than the Retained Employees) as Purchaser deems appropriate; provided, however, that Purchaser (or its manager) shall need only offer employment to a sufficient number of terminated Employees as is necessary to prevent the Seller Indemnitees and Employer from incurring any Indemnification Loss under the WARN Act with respect to the Employees. (The terminated Employees who accept such offers of employment are referred to collectively herein as the “Rehired Employees”.) Purchaser shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Indemnitees and Employer in accordance with ARTICLE XV (and with respect to Employer, to the same extent and in the same manner as set forth for Seller Indemnitees in ARTICLE XV) from and against any Indemnification Loss incurred by any Seller Indemnitees or Employer under the WARN Act with respect to the Employees to the limited extent that such liability arises as a direct result of Purchaser (or its manager) failing to offer employment to a sufficient number of Terminated Employees. Seller shall deliver to Purchaser no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to Closing a schedule (Schedule 8.4.2) setting forth the job position of each current or former Employee who incurred within the prior ninety (90) days or, as a result of this transaction, will incur, an “employment loss,” “layoff,” or other similar event that when aggregated with enough other such events would trigger the notice or damages provisions of the WARN Act (“WARN Act Events”) and the date of such WARN Act Event. To the extent that Schedule 8.4.2 is not complete and accurate in all material respects as of the date of such schedule and Purchaser (or its manager) relies on such inaccurate information, Seller shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnitees in accordance with

ARTICLE XV from and against any Indemnification Loss incurred by any Purchaser Indemnitees under the WARN Act to the limited extent that such liability arises as a direct result of such material inaccuracy. Without negating Purchaser’s obligations above in this Section 8.4.2, Purchaser shall, at least five (5) Business Days prior to Closing, provide Seller a list of any Employees to whom Purchaser intends not to offer continued employment at the Hotel. Purchaser shall provide written notice to Seller and Employer promptly after Closing listing all Employees not rehired by Purchaser (or its manager).

8.4.3. Compensation of Rehired Employees. Except as otherwise required under any Employment Agreements of any Employees rehired by Purchaser which are assumed by Purchaser, or as expressly provided in this Section 8.4.3, the employment of the Rehired Employees shall be on such terms as Purchaser (or its manager) deems appropriate consistent with Purchaser’s policies and practices; provided, however, that such terms of employment shall comply with all Applicable Laws relating to the Employees and be sufficiently similar in terms of the base salary for each such Employee so as to ensure that any such change in base salary will not cause the Seller Indemnitees to incur any Indemnification Loss under the WARN Act with respect to such Rehired Employees. Purchaser shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Indemnitees and Employer in accordance with ARTICLE XV (and with respect to Employer, to the same extent and in the same manner as set forth for Seller Indemnitees in ARTICLE XV) from and against any Indemnification Loss incurred by any of the Seller Indemnitees under the WARN Act with respect to the Employees to the limited extent that any change in base salary causes the Seller Indemnities to incur any Indemnification Loss under the WARN Act.

8.4.4. Accrued Personal Time Off. Purchaser shall (or shall cause its manager to) permit the Rehired Employees to take, on an unpaid basis and as Hotel scheduling permits, the vacation time off on or after the Closing Date which such Rehired Employees have accrued (in accordance with the terms of the vacation time off policies in effect with respect to such Rehired Employees as of the Effective Date) but not taken as of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Purchaser agrees to and does rehire all Employees as of Closing (in which event all Employees shall be deemed “Rehired Employees” for purposes of this Agreement) and elects to receive a credit for all Earned Vacation for such Employees at Closing in accordance with Section 11.2.8, then (a) Purchaser shall (or shall cause its manager to) honor and permit the Rehired Employees to take on or after the Closing Date, on a paid basis in accordance with Purchaser’s (or Purchaser’s manager’s) vacation and time off policies as to scheduling, the Earned Vacation time off which such Rehired Employees have accrued (in accordance with the terms of the vacation time off policies in effect with respect to such Rehired Employees as of the Effective Date) through the date immediately prior to the Closing Date but not taken as of the Closing Date and for which Purchaser receives a credit at Closing pursuant to Section 11.2.8; and (b) Purchaser shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Indemnitees and Employer in accordance with ARTICLE XV (and with respect to Employer, to the same extent and in the same manner as set forth for Seller Indemnitees in ARTICLE XV) from and against any Indemnification Loss incurred by any of the Seller Indemnitees or Employer with respect to any claims made by any such Rehired Employees related to such Earned Vacation for which Purchaser receives a credit at Closing pursuant to Section 11.2.8 (but not including claims relating to Earned Vacation for which Purchaser did not receive a credit at Closing). At Closing, Seller shall cause the Employer to provide Purchaser with sufficient information regarding the

amount of Earned Vacation time off accrued but not taken by all Rehired Employees to allow Purchaser to fulfill its obligations under this Section 8.4.4.

8.4.5. COBRA. Purchaser shall (or shall cause its manager to) provide the Rehired Employees, and the respective qualified beneficiaries of such Rehired Employees, who are participating in the Manager Employee Plans as of the Closing Date, with the right to elect to participate in Purchaser’s or (its manager’s) standard health care plans which provides sufficient coverage to such Rehired Employees, and the respective qualified beneficiaries of such Rehired Employees, including, without limitation, no waiting period prior to coverage and a waiver of pre-existing conditions, so that neither Employer, Manager, any Affiliate of Manager, nor any Noble Entity is required to provide health care continuation coverage to any of such Employees under Section 4980B of the Code.

8.4.6. Employee Liabilities. Seller shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser Indemnitees in accordance with ARTICLE XV from and against any Indemnification Loss arising out of any and all real or alleged employment and benefit related obligations with respect to the Employees and benefit plans, including, but not limited to, the Manager Employee Plans and any and all obligations or liabilities for (i) Compensation and Other Compensation to which such employees are legally entitled, (ii) worker’s compensation claims, and (iii) claims under the common law and/or applicable laws governing employer/employee relations, including, without limitation, the National Labor Relations Act and other labor relations laws, equal employment standards laws, fair employment practices and anti-discrimination laws, ERISA, the Multi-Employer Pension Plan Amendment Act, and the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”), as each of the foregoing is amended from time to time (collectively, “Employee Liabilities”) based on any occurrence up to and including the termination of the Employees on the Closing Date (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 8.4). Purchaser shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Seller Indemnitees in accordance with ARTICLE XV from and against any Indemnification Loss arising out of any and all Employee Liabilities with respect to the Hotel Employees based on any real or alleged occurrence from and after the Closing Date, other than any Employee Liabilities related to any of the Retained Employees.

8.4.7. Survival. This Section 8.4 shall survive the Closing.

8.5 Bookings. Purchaser shall honor all Bookings made prior to the Closing Date for any period on or after the Closing Date. This Section 8.5 shall survive Closing.

8.6 Notices and Filings. Seller and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other (at no cost or expense to the Party whose cooperation is requested, other than any de minimis cost or expense which the requesting Party agrees in writing to reimburse to the other Party) to provide written notice to any Person under any Tenant Leases, Contracts, and Licenses and Permits and to effect any registrations or filings with any Governmental Authority or other Person, regarding the change in ownership of the Property or the Business. This Section 8.6 shall survive the Closing.

8.7 Access to Information. For a period of four (4) years after the Closing, Purchaser shall provide to the officers, employees, agents and representatives of any of the Seller Indemnitees

reasonable access to (i) the Books and Records with respect to the Hotel, (ii) the Property and (iii) the employees at the Hotel, for any purpose deemed necessary or advisable by Seller, including, without limitation, to prepare any documents required to be filed by Seller under Applicable Law or to investigate, evaluate and defend any claim, charge, audit, litigation or other proceeding made by any Person or insurance company involving any Noble Entity; provided, however, that (A) such Seller Indemnitees shall provide reasonable prior notice to Purchaser; (B) Purchaser shall not be required to provide such access during non-business hours; (C) Purchaser shall have the right to accompany the officer, employees, agents or representatives of such Seller Indemnitees in providing access to its books and records, the Property or the employees of Purchaser (or Purchaser’s manager) as provided in this Section 8.7; (D) Purchaser shall not be required to provide such access to materials or information to the extent the same (x) are legally privileged or constitute attorney work product, (y) are subject to a confidentiality agreement or to Applicable Law prohibiting their disclosure by Purchaser, or (z) constitute confidential internal assessments, reports, studies, memoranda, notes or other correspondence prepared by or on behalf of any officer or employee of any Purchaser Indemnitee, including, without limitation, all (1) internal financial analyses, appraisals, tax returns, financial statements of any Purchaser Indemnitee or of Purchaser’s hotel manager, (2) corporate or other entity governance records and (3) any work papers, memoranda, analysis, correspondence and similar documents and materials prepared by or for any Purchaser Indemnitee or Purchaser’s hotel manager, (E) Purchaser makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any information contained in the Books and Records maintained by Purchaser with respect to the Hotel, if any, and (F) Seller shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnitees in accordance with ARTICLE XV from and against any Indemnification Loss incurred by any Purchaser Indemnitees arising from any such access, inspections, evaluations, examinations, investigations or studies of the Books and Records, the Property or the employees at the Hotel conducted by Seller, its employees, agents or representatives pursuant to this Section 8.7. Purchaser, at its cost and expense, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain and retain all such Books and Records with respect to the Hotel until the earlier of four (4) years after the Closing Date or the date upon which Purchaser transfers the Property to a non-Affiliated third party. This Section 8.7 shall survive the Closing.

8.8 Privacy Laws. To the extent Purchaser reviews, is given access to or otherwise obtains any Hotel Guest Data and Information as part of the purchase of the Property and the Business, Purchaser shall at all times comply in all material respects with all Applicable Law concerning (i) the privacy of such Hotel Guest Data and Information and the sharing of such information and data with third parties (including, without limitation, any restrictions with respect to Purchaser’s or any third party’s ability to use, transfer, store, sell, or share such information and data), and (ii) the establishment of adequate security measures to protect such Hotel Guest Data and Information. This Section 8.8 shall survive the Closing.

8.9 Franchise/License Matters.

8.9.1. New Hotel Franchise.

(a) Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the approval in writing by Hotel Franchisor of the issuance of a New Hotel Franchise between Purchaser and Hotel Franchisor to permit Purchaser to operate the Hotel as a “Marriott” hotel. Purchaser shall

as soon as practicable (but in no event later than three (3) Business Days after the Effective Date) make such application to Hotel Franchisor as shall be required for the New Hotel Franchise and shall as soon as possible pay such application or other fees as required by Hotel Franchisor in connection with such application. Within three (3) Business Days after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall also execute and deliver to Hotel Franchisor any franchise disclosure forms required by Hotel Franchisor in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Purchaser shall also utilize commercially reasonable efforts to finalize such application process for a New Hotel Franchise and to obtain Hotel Franchisor’s approval for the issuance of a New Hotel Franchise to Purchaser (or its designated assignee who will own or operate the Property after the Closing) as soon as practicable but no later than the Closing Date, such New Hotel Franchise being in form and substance acceptable to Purchaser in its sole but commercially reasonable discretion. Seller shall, and shall cause each applicable Noble Entity to, provide such cooperation with Purchaser in connection with the obtaining of such New Hotel Franchise from Hotel Franchisor as Purchaser may reasonably request, but the Noble Entities shall not be required to incur any costs or liability in connection therewith (other than any de minimis cost or expense which Purchaser agrees in writing to reimburse to the Noble Entities). Purchaser shall pay any application fees or costs with respect to any New Hotel Franchise, and upon completion of the process of obtaining the New Hotel Franchise, Seller shall cause Noble Subtenant to enter into a termination agreement with Hotel Franchisor in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Noble Subtenant providing for the full release of Noble Subtenant and any affiliated guarantors from any liability arising under the Current Hotel Franchise for periods following the Closing. In the event any Noble Entity incurs any termination costs or fees (including, without limitation, any liquidated damage payments) under the Current Hotel Franchise as a result of this transaction, regardless of whether Purchaser enters into a New Hotel Franchise, Purchaser shall bear any such costs and fees assessed by Hotel Franchisor relating to the termination of the Current Hotel Franchise by paying such costs and fees, and/or causing Hotel Franchisor to waive the right to receive any such costs and fees. Purchaser shall be solely responsible for the cost of implementation of any so-called “property improvement program” or “PIP” required in connection with the New Hotel Franchise, and no Noble Entity shall have any liability or obligation with respect to any such property improvement program or PIP.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, despite using commercially reasonable efforts, Purchaser is unable to finalize such application process for a New Hotel Franchise and to obtain Hotel Franchisor’s approval for the issuance of a New Hotel Franchise to Purchaser (or its designated operator) prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser may elect to have up to an additional fifteen (15) days after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (the “New Hotel Franchise Approval Period”) solely to allow Purchaser to obtain the approval of Hotel Franchisor and the New Hotel Franchise in accordance with this Section 8.9.1, by providing written notice to Seller prior to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the last day of the Due Diligence Period, which notice shall summarize all outstanding matters preventing finalization of the application process and approval for issuance of a New Hotel Franchise to Purchaser. For avoidance of doubt, the additional New Franchise Approval Period shall not result in any extension of either Purchaser’s Due Diligence Contingency, the Due Diligence Period or the Closing Date. If Purchaser has not obtained the approval of Hotel Franchisor or a New Hotel Franchise in form and substance acceptable to Purchaser in its sole but commercially reasonable discretion, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this agreement by delivery of written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent whereupon this Agreement shall terminate and the Xxxxxxx

Money shall be refunded to Purchaser in accordance with Section 3.2.4, and the Parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except those which expressly survive such termination. For the avoidance of doubt, such New Hotel Franchise contemplated hereunder is not a Purchaser Closing Condition.

(c) In the event that Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.9.1(b) and the New Hotel Franchise contemplated hereunder is not obtained by Purchaser and fully effective as of the then-scheduled Closing Date, but Purchaser nonetheless elects to proceed to the Closing, Seller and Noble Subtenant shall have the right, but not the obligation, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, and without causing material damage or destruction to the Property or any portion thereof, to “de-image” the Hotel, including, without limitation, removal of all trade dress, physical characteristics, color combinations and other indications of operation of the Hotel pursuant to and in accordance with the Current Hotel Franchise, the immediate removal of such exterior facia or signage bearing any trade names, trademarks, service marks and/or indicia of origin of the Hotel Franchisor under the Current Hotel Franchise, and, if necessary, Seller and Noble Subtenant shall have access to the Hotel from and after the Closing (including access to individual hotel rooms) to perform such de-imaging. In the event any Noble Entity incurs any termination costs or fees (including, without limitation, any liquidated damage payments) under the Current Hotel Franchise as a result of the Current Hotel Franchise being terminated as a result of this Section 8.9.1(c), Purchaser shall bear any such costs and fees assessed by Hotel Franchisor relating to the termination of the Current Hotel Franchise by paying such costs and fees, and/or causing Hotel Franchisor to waive the right to receive any such costs and fees.

8.9.2. Starbucks License Approval.

(a) Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the approval in writing by Starbucks of either (i) the assignment of Current Starbucks License by Noble Investments to Purchaser (or its designated assignee who will own or operate the Property after the Closing) at Closing or (ii) the issuance of a new license agreement (a “New Starbucks License”) to be entered into by Purchaser (or such designated assignee) and Starbucks at Closing, in order to permit Purchaser (or such designated assignee) to continue to operate the licensed Starbucks Store in the Hotel following Closing (the approval by Starbucks of either the assignment and assumption of the Current Starbucks License or the issuance of a New Starbucks License being the “Starbucks License Approval”). Purchaser shall as soon as practicable (but in no event later than three (3) Business Days after the Effective Date) commence efforts to make such application to Starbucks as shall be required for the Starbucks License Approval and shall pay such application or other fees as required by Starbucks in connection with such application. Within three (3) Business Days after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall also execute and deliver to Starbucks any franchise disclosure forms required by Starbucks in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Purchaser shall also utilize commercially reasonable efforts to finalize such application process for and to obtain the Starbucks License Approval as soon as practicable but no later than the Closing Date, such Starbucks License Approval being in form and substance acceptable to Purchaser in its sole but commercially reasonable discretion. Seller shall, and shall cause each applicable Noble Entity to, provide such cooperation with Purchaser in connection with the obtaining of such Starbucks License Approval from Starbucks as Purchaser may reasonably request, but the Noble Entities

shall not be required to incur any costs or liability in connection therewith (other than any de minimis cost or expense which Purchaser agrees in writing to reimburse to the Noble Entities). Purchaser shall pay any application fees or costs with respect to any Starbucks License Approval, and upon completion of the process of obtaining the Starbucks License Approval, Seller shall cause Noble Investments to enter into an assignment and assumption agreement with Purchaser and Starbucks or termination agreement with Starbucks, as applicable, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Noble Investments providing for the full release of Noble Investments and any affiliated guarantors from any liability arising under the Current Starbucks License for periods following the Closing. In the event any Noble Entity incurs any termination costs or fees (including, without limitation, any liquidated damage payments) under the Current Starbucks License as a result of this transaction, regardless of whether Purchaser obtains the Starbucks License Approval, Purchaser shall bear any such costs and fees assessed by Starbucks relating to the assignment and transfer or the termination, as applicable, of the Current Starbucks License by paying such costs and fees, and/or causing Starbucks to waive the right to receive any such costs and fees. Purchaser shall be solely responsible for the cost of implementation of any store update or capital improvement program required in connection with the Starbucks License Approval, and no Noble Entity shall have any liability or obligation with respect to any such store update or capital improvement program. For the avoidance of doubt, such Starbucks License Approval contemplated hereunder is not a Purchaser Closing Condition.

(b) In the event that Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement pursuant to Purchaser’s Due Diligence Contingency and the Starbucks License Approval contemplated hereunder is not obtained by Purchaser and fully effective as of the then-scheduled Closing Date, but Purchaser nonetheless elects to proceed to the Closing, Seller and Noble Investments shall have the right, but not the obligation, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, and without causing material damage or destruction to the Property or any portion thereof, to “de-image” the Starbucks Store in the Hotel, including, without limitation, removal of all trade dress, physical characteristics, color combinations and other indications of operation of such store pursuant to and in accordance with the Current Starbucks License, the immediate removal of such signage bearing any trade names, trademarks, service marks and/or indicia of origin of Starbucks under the Current Starbucks License, and, if necessary, Seller and Noble Subtenant shall have access to the Hotel from and after the Closing (including access to individual hotel rooms) to perform such de-imaging. In the event any Noble Entity incurs any termination costs or fees (including, without limitation, any liquidated damage payments) under the Current Starbucks License as a result of the Current Starbucks License being terminated as a result of this Section 8.9.2(b), Purchaser shall bear any such costs and fees assessed by Starbucks relating to the termination of the Current Starbucks License by paying such costs and fees, and/or causing Starbucks to waive the right to receive any such costs and fees.

8.9.3. Survival. This Section 8.9 shall survive Closing.

8.10 Further Assurances. From the Effective Date until the Closing or termination of this Agreement, Seller and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the transactions described in this Agreement, including, without limitation, (i) obtaining all necessary consents, approvals and authorizations required to be obtained from any Governmental Authority or other Person under this Agreement or Applicable Law, and

(ii) effecting all registrations and filings required under this Agreement or Applicable Law. After the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts (at no cost or expense to such Party, other than any de minimis cost or expense which the requesting Party agrees in writing to reimburse to the other Party) to further effect the transactions contemplated in this Agreement. The immediately preceding sentence of this Section 8.10 shall survive the Closing.

8.11 Purchaser’s Audit Requirements. Seller agrees to promptly deliver to Purchaser all of the audit request materials listed on Exhibit L to the extent in Seller’s Possession or Control related to the Property; provided; however, Seller shall deliver all such materials (to the extent in Seller’s Possession or Control) not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing; provided, further, Seller acknowledges and agrees to use its commercially reasonable good faith efforts to also provide such additional requested information in Seller’s Possession or Control which is deemed relevant and reasonably necessary (as determined by Purchaser) to enable Purchaser and it accountants to prepare financial statements in compliance with (i) Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission which audit will commence immediately upon Closing and which is required to be completed and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission within seventy-five (75) days after Closing; (ii) any other rule issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission and applicable to Purchaser; and (iii) any registration statement, report or disclosure statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by, or on behalf of, Purchaser. 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 post-Closing audit(s), and in furtherance of Seller’s obligations to assist Purchaser pursuant to this Section, Seller covenants and agrees to execute and deliver to McGladrey LLP the audit representation letters, the form of which are attached hereto as Exhibit M (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 8.11 shall survive the Closing for a period of twelve (12) months.

8.12 Exclusivity. Between the Effective Date and the Closing Date or earlier termination of this Agreement, neither Seller, nor any Affiliate nor any of their respective members, partners, or agents (including, without limitation, any broker) shall offer, entertain, solicit or negotiate with respect to any inquiries or proposals relating to 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.

8.13 Owners’ Association. Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser with respect to any additional consents required from the owners associations including, but not limited to (i) transferring of control of the owners association board, (ii) replacing owners association officers, (iii) transferring the Master Condominium Documents Sub-Condominium Documents and Declarant Rights thereunder to Purchaser, and (iv) delivering copies of all owners association records and Master Condominium Documents and Sub-Condominium Documents to Purchaser.

If the Closing is scheduled to occur within Purchaser’s ten (10) Business Day election period, the Closing Date shall be postponed until the date which is five (5) Business Days after the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day election period.

14.2 Condemnation. If, at any time after the Effective Date and prior to Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement, any Governmental Authority commences any condemnation proceeding or other proceeding in eminent domain with respect to all or any portion of the Real Property (a “Condemnation”), Seller shall give written notice of such Condemnation to Purchaser promptly after Seller receives notice of such Condemnation.

14.2.1. Material Condemnation. If the Condemnation would (i) result in the permanent loss of more than five percent (5%) of the Purchase Price, or (ii) cause the Hotel to materially violate any Applicable Law including, without limitation, zoning laws and requirements (a “Material Condemnation”), then Purchaser shall have the right to elect, by providing written notice to Seller within ten (10) Business Days after Purchaser’s receipt of Seller’s written notice of such Condemnation, to (I) terminate this Agreement, in which case the Xxxxxxx Money shall be refunded to Purchaser in accordance with Section 3.2.4 and the Parties 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 assign to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest in all proceeds and awards from such Condemnation.

15.2 Indemnification by Seller. Subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 15.1, 15.4, 15.5, 15.6, 15.7, 15.8 and any other express provision of in this Agreement, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnitees from and against any Indemnification Loss incurred by any Purchaser Indemnitee to the extent resulting from (i) the breach of any express representations or warranties of Seller in this Agreement or the Seller Documents which expressly survives the Closing or termination of this Agreement (as the case may be), (ii) the breach by Seller of any of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement which expressly

survives the Closing or termination of this Agreement (as the case may be), and (iii) any Retained Liabilities (the “Seller Indemnity Obligations”).

15.3 Indemnification by Purchaser. Subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 15.1, 15.4, 15.5 and 15.6, Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Indemnitees from and against any Indemnification Loss incurred by any Seller Indemnitee to the extent resulting from (i) any breach of any express representations or warranties of Purchaser in this Agreement which expressly survives the Closing or termination of this Agreement (as the case may be) and (ii) any breach by Purchaser of any of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement which expressly survives the Closing or termination of this Agreement (as the case may be), and (iii) any Assumed Liabilities.

15.4 Limitations on Indemnification Obligations.

15.4.1. Failure to Provide Notice within Survival Period. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, an Indemnitee which is seeking defense or indemnification for a breach of any representations or warranties shall be entitled to indemnification for such breach only if the Indemnitee has given written notice to the Indemnitor in accordance with Section 15.5.1 prior to the expiration of the applicable Survival Period.

15.4.2. Indemnification Deductible and Cap. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller shall be not be required to provide indemnification to the Purchaser Indemnitees pursuant to clause (i) of Section 15.2 to the extent that the aggregate amount of all Indemnification Losses incurred by the Purchaser Indemnitees for which Purchaser otherwise would be entitled to indemnification under clause (i) of Section 15.2 (A) does not exceed Fifty Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($50,000.00) (the “Indemnification Deductible”), or if such Indemnification Losses exceed the Indemnification Deductible, Purchaser shall not be entitled to defense or indemnification for any amount up to the Indemnification Deductible, or (B) exceeds One Million Five Hundred Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($1,500,000.00) (“Seller’s Liability Cap”).

15.4.3. Failure to Provide Timely Notice of Indemnification Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, an Indemnitee shall not be entitled to defense or indemnification to the extent the Indemnitee’s failure to promptly notify the Indemnitor in accordance with Section 15.5.1, (i) prejudices the Indemnitor’s ability to defend against any Third-Party Claim on which such Indemnification Claim is based, or (ii) increases the amount of Indemnification Loss incurred in respect of such indemnification obligation of the Indemnitor.

15.4.4. Effect Insurance or Other Reimbursement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the amount of any Indemnification Loss for which indemnification is provided to an Indemnitee under this ARTICLE XV shall be net of any insurance proceeds received by such Indemnitee in connection with the Indemnification Claim, or any other third-party reimbursement. The Indemnitee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect any insurance proceeds or obtain any third-party reimbursement with respect to such Indemnification Claim, and if such insurance proceeds or reimbursement are obtained by the Indemnitee after the Indemnitor has paid any amount in respect of an Indemnification Loss to the Indemnitee, the

Indemnitee shall reimburse the amount collected by the Indemnitee up to the amount received from the Indemnitor for such Indemnification Loss.

15.5 Indemnification Procedure.

15.5.1. Notice of Indemnification Claim. If any of the Seller Indemnitees or Purchaser Indemnitees (as the case may be) (each, an “Indemnitee”) is entitled to defense or indemnification under any express provision in this Agreement (each, an “Indemnification Claim”), the Party required to provide defense or indemnification to such Indemnitee (the “Indemnitor”) shall not be obligated to defend, indemnify and hold harmless such 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 (a “Claim Notice”).

15.5.2. 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 may agree in writing.

15.5.3. 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, or if in the good faith judgment of the Indemnitee the Indemnitor or counsel for the Indemnitor shall have a conflict of interest which would adversely affect the Indemnitor’s or its counsel’s ability to defend such Third-Party Claim on behalf of the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall have the right to retain the defense of such Third-Party Claim at the cost and expense of the Indemnitor, and shall use good faith efforts consistent with prudent business judgment to defend such Third-Party Claim in an effective and cost-efficient manner.

15.5.4. 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 Third-Party Claim is concluded, including any appeals with respect thereto.

15.5.5. Holdback Escrow. At Closing, Seller shall fund One Million Five Hundred Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($1,500,000.00) (as reduced in accordance with this Section 15.5.5, the “Holdback Amount”) into an escrow account to be held by the Escrow Agent (the “Holdback Escrow”) pursuant to the Post-Closing Escrow Agreement in commercially reasonable, mutually acceptable form to be agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser by May 31, 2013 and thereupon attached hereto as Exhibit N (the “Post-Closing Escrow Agreement”). Purchaser shall provide a Claim Notice to Seller and Escrow Agent of any Indemnification Loss on or prior to the date that is two hundred seventy (270) days after the Closing Date (the “Holdback Period”). Within ten (10) days after Seller’s receipt of a Claim Notice, Seller shall either (i) cause Escrow Agent to disburse funds from the Holdback Escrow to Purchaser in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the amount of the Indemnification Loss set forth in such Claim Notice, or (b) the amount of the Holdback Amount remaining on deposit in the Holdback Escrow; or (ii) dispute such claim by delivering written notice (the “Dispute Notice”) to Purchaser and the Escrow Agent. Should Seller either (x) fail to cause Escrow Agent to disburse funds from the Holdback Escrow to Purchaser in the amount of the Indemnification Loss set forth in such Claim Notice, or (y) timely issue a Dispute Notice, Purchaser’s sole remedy shall be an action at law for damages in the amount of the aggregate Indemnification Losses incurred by Purchaser up to, but not in excess of, Seller’s Liability Cap (less any amounts previously disbursed to Purchaser from the Holdback Escrow). Notwithstanding the foregoing and as more specifically set forth in the Post-Closing Escrow Agreement, Escrow Agent shall disburse available funds from the Holdback Escrow to Seller as follows:

RELEASE DATE	RELEASE AMOUNT
On the date 120 days after the Closing Date	All amounts held in the Holdback Escrow, if any, that exceed the greater of (i) $1,100,000 or (ii) any Pending Claim Amounts
On the date 180 days after the Closing Date	All amounts held in the Holdback Escrow, if any, that exceed the greater of (i) $500,000 or (ii) any Pending Claim Amounts
On the date 270 days after the Closing Date	All amounts remaining in the Holdback Escrow, if any, less any Pending Claim Amounts

15.5.6. Retained Liabilities. For avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding the fact that the Seller Indemnity Obligations are limited pursuant to and in accordance with this ARTICLE XV, it is expressly understood and agreed that any and all Retained Liabilities are retained by Seller for all purposes.

15.6 Exclusive Remedy for Indemnification Loss. Except for claims based on fraud or intentional misconduct, the indemnification provisions in this ARTICLE XV shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of any Indemnitee with respect to any claim for Indemnification Loss arising from or in connection with this Agreement.

15.7 Release; Environmental Inquiry.

15.7.1. RELEASE OF SELLER FOR VIOLATIONS OF APPLICABLE LAW. SUBJECT TO THE EXPRESS REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN THE SELLER DOCUMENTS, PURCHASER (FOR

ITSELF AND ALL PURCHASER INDEMNITEES) DOES HEREBY FOREVER RELEASE AND DISCHARGE THE SELLER INDEMNITEES FROM ANY AND ALL VIOLATIONS OF APPLICABLE LAW INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION VIOLATIONS OF THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT OF 1990 AND ALL ENVIRONMENTAL CLAIMS AND ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES, WHETHER NOW KNOWN OR UNKNOWN TO PURCHASER. NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS RELEASE, HOWEVER, IS INTENDED TO OR SHALL BE DEEMED TO RELEASE ANY CLAIMS WHICH PURCHASER MAY HAVE AGAINST ANY OTHER POTENTIALLY LIABLE PARTY WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUCH VIOLATIONS OF APPLICABLE LAW.

15.7.2. Environmental Inquiry. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the sole inquiry and investigation Seller has conducted in connection with the environmental condition of the Property is to obtain the Environmental Reports, and that Seller has acted reasonably in relying upon said inquiry and investigation.

15.8 Liability under Deed. Purchaser agrees that if Purchaser has any right or claim against any Seller pursuant to the warranties in the Deed delivered by such Seller to Purchaser, Purchaser shall exhaust all of its rights and remedies against the Title Company pursuant to the applicable Title Policy prior to bringing any claim or action against such Seller in respect of such warranties. Seller agrees that, with respect to any such right or claim by Purchaser against Seller pursuant to the Deed, the applicable statute of limitations shall be tolled while Purchaser diligently pursues such rights and remedies against the Title Company.

If Seller makes any such amendment or supplement to the schedules after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (a “Post-Due Diligence Disclosure”), then (A) such Post-Due Diligence Disclosure shall constitute a Purchaser Closing Condition Failure if, and only if, the corresponding representation or warranty or other information would be untrue or incorrect in any material respect in the absence of such Post-Due Diligence Disclosure which is amended or supplemented by such Post-Due Diligence Disclosure and would result in a Material Adverse Effect to Purchaser’s ownership of the Property or the conduct of the Business upon Closing, and Seller does not commit in writing to either cure the matters which are the subject of such Post-Due Diligence Disclosure or to provide a credit to Purchaser at Closing in the amount of the Material Adverse Effect resulting or likely resulting to Purchaser as a result of such Post-Due Due Diligence Disclosure as mutually agreed by Purchaser and Seller each acting in good faith, and (B) if Purchaser proceeds to Closing notwithstanding such Post-Due Diligence Disclosure without the same being cured by Seller or without receiving a credit for same from Seller at Closing, the corresponding representation, warranty or other information shall be deemed qualified by such Post-Due Diligence Disclosure for the purposes of limiting the defense and indemnification obligations of Seller under this Agreement; provided, however, should either (1) the Post-Due Diligence Disclosure be caused

by the intentional breach or willful misconduct of Seller or another party reasonably under Seller’s control; or (2) Seller commits in writing to cure the matters that are the subject of such Post-Due Diligence Disclosure and willfully or intentionally fails to do so, then in each case, Seller will be deemed to be in default of its obligations under this Agreement and the provision of Section 13.1 shall apply in connection therewith (without any additional right of Seller to cure under Section 13.2 hereof).

WHEREAS, Escrow Agent is willing to hold such xxxxxxx money in escrow, and invest and disburse such xxxxxxx money, on the terms set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Deposit and Investment of Xxxxxxx Money.

(a) Deposit and Acceptance of Xxxxxxx Money. By its execution and delivery of this Agreement to Seller and Purchaser, Escrow Agent hereby acknowledges that it has received from Purchaser the amount of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($2,500,000.00) (the “Initial Deposit”). If Purchaser does not terminate the Purchase Agreement pursuant to the Due Diligence Contingency, Purchaser shall deposit with Escrow Agent the amount of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($2,500,000.00) no later than 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the last day of the Due Diligence Period (the “Additional Deposit”; the term “Xxxxxxx Money” shall mean, collectively, the Initial Deposit and the Additional Deposit (if then deposited by Purchaser at the time in question)). Escrow Agent shall provide written confirmation to Seller and Purchaser of its receipt of the Additional Deposit immediately upon its deposit with Escrow Agent. Upon request by Seller or Purchaser

A-1

at any time, Escrow Agent shall confirm to Seller or Purchaser (as the case may be) the amount of Xxxxxxx Money then on deposit with Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) Escrow Account. Escrow Agent shall hold the Xxxxxxx Money in a separate escrow account identified as account no. (the “Escrow Account”) for the benefit of Seller and Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, and shall not commingle the Xxxxxxx Money with any other third-party deposits or its own funds.

(c) Investment of Xxxxxxx Money. The Xxxxxxx Money or any portion thereof shall be invested in any investment selected by Purchaser and approved by Seller in writing, which approval may be withheld in Seller’s reasonable discretion; provided, however, that Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to invest the Xxxxxxx Money or any portion thereof pursuant to this Section 1(c) until both Seller and Purchaser (i) provide their respective federal tax identification numbers to Escrow Agent, and (ii) execute and deliver to Escrow Agent any investment forms or direction letters reasonably requested by Escrow Agent. All interest and other amounts earned on the Xxxxxxx Money shall constitute additional Xxxxxxx Money for all purposes in this Agreement. Purchaser shall bear the risk of loss of the Xxxxxxx Money, except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence, willful default, intentional misconduct or breach of trust by Escrow Agent, its managers, officers, employees or agents.

2. Disbursement of Xxxxxxx Money.

(a) Disbursement at Closing. At Closing, Escrow Agent shall disburse the Xxxxxxx Money to Seller or to any other Person to whom Seller directs the Xxxxxxx Money to be disbursed by providing written notice to Escrow Agent.

(b) Disbursement if Closing Not Consummated.

i) If the Purchase Agreement is terminated for any reason or if Seller or Purchaser otherwise is entitled to receive the Xxxxxxx Money pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, either Seller or Purchaser (as the case may be) (the “Requesting Party”) may provide written notice to Escrow Agent that the Purchase Agreement has been terminated or that Seller or Purchaser (as the case may be) otherwise is entitled to receive the Xxxxxxx Money pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and that the Xxxxxxx Money is to be distributed in accordance with the instructions given in such notice (a “Disbursement Request”). Escrow Agent shall provide written notice (the “Receipt Notice”) to the other Party (the “Confirming Party”) of its receipt of such Disbursement Request (together with a copy of the Disbursement Request) no later than two (2) Business Days after its receipt of such Disbursement Request.

ii) If the Confirming Party disputes that the Requesting Party is entitled to receive the Xxxxxxx Money, the Confirming Party shall provide written notice to Escrow Agent within ten (10) Business Days after its receipt of the Receipt Notice disputing that the Requesting Party is entitled to receive the Xxxxxxx Money (a “Dispute Notice”). If Escrow Agent has not received a Dispute Notice from the Confirming Party within such ten (10) Business Day period, the Confirming Party shall be deemed to have consented to and authorized the disbursement set forth in the Disbursement Request, and Escrow Agent shall disburse the Xxxxxxx Money pursuant to the instructions set forth in the Disbursement Request. If Escrow

A-2

Agent receives a Dispute Notice within such ten (10) Business Day period, Escrow Agent shall retain the Xxxxxxx Money in the Escrow Account pending receipt of separate written direction from each Seller and Purchaser authorizing the disbursement of the Xxxxxxx Money to the same Person (and confirmation of such disbursement by telephone) as provided in Section 2, or a final unappealable order of court with respect to distribution of the Xxxxxxx Money. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Escrow Agent receives contrary written directions from Seller and Purchaser or no written directions within six (6) months after the Effective Date, Escrow Agent shall have the right to deposit the Xxxxxxx Money with any court of competent jurisdiction in Atlanta, Georgia and interplead Seller and Purchaser. Upon depositing the Xxxxxxx Money and filing its complaint in interpleader, Escrow Agent shall be released from all liability under this Agreement regarding the Xxxxxxx Money, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.

3. Escrow Fees. All fees, costs and expenses of the Escrow Agent with respect to the escrow established pursuant to this Agreement (the “Escrow Fees”) shall be shared equally between Seller and Purchaser, except that Purchaser shall pay any Escrow Fees with respect to the investment of the Xxxxxxx Money. All such Escrow Fees shall be due and payable upon the earlier of: (i) the disbursement of the Xxxxxxx Money, or (ii) the deposit of the Xxxxxxx Money by Escrow Agent with a court of competent jurisdiction as set forth in Section 2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Escrow Agent shall waive all Escrow Fees if the Closing is consummated through an escrow closing transaction with Escrow Agent, and Escrow Agent or its Affiliate issues the Title Policy described in the Purchase Agreement.

4. Compliance with Court Orders. Seller and Purchaser hereby acknowledge that Escrow Agent may accept, obey and comply with any and all writs, orders, judgments or decrees issued or entered by any court with or without jurisdiction (a “Court Order”), in which case, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall not be liable to Seller or Purchaser by reason of such acceptance, obedience or compliance, regardless of whether such Court Order is subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated.

5. Release and Indemnification. Seller and Purchaser hereby release Escrow Agent and its officers, managers, employees and agents (each, an “Escrow Agent Party”), for any liability, damage, loss, cost or expense incurred by Seller or Purchaser to the extent resulting from (i) any action taken or not taken in good faith upon advice of Escrow Agent’s counsel given with respect to any questions relating to its obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) any action taken or not taken in reliance upon any document, including any written notice provided to Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement, as to the due execution and the validity and effectiveness of such document, and the truth and accuracy of any information contained therein, which such Escrow Agent Party in good faith believes to be genuine, to have been signed or presented by a duly authorized person or persons and to comply with the terms of the Purchase Agreement and this Agreement, except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence, willful default, intentional misconduct or breach of trust by such Escrow Agent Party. Seller and Purchaser, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless any Escrow Agent Party against any liability, damage, loss, cost or expense, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, incurred by such Escrow Agent Party to the extent resulting from the performance by any Escrow Agent Party of Escrow Agent’s obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence, willful default, intentional misconduct or breach of trust by such Escrow Agent Party.

A-3

6. Relationship of Parties. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that Escrow Agent is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request, and that Escrow Agent shall not be deemed to be the agent of either Seller or Purchaser.

7. Notices.

(a) Method of Delivery. All notices, requests, demands and other communications (each, a “Notice”) required to be provided by any Party to any other Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered (i) in person, (ii) by certified U.S. mail, with postage prepaid and return receipt requested, (iii) by overnight courier service, or (iv) by facsimile transmittal, with a verification copy sent on the same day by any of the methods set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), to the other Party to this Agreement at the following address or facsimile number (or to such other address or facsimile number as the Parties may designate from time to time pursuant to Section (c)):
