The Seller and Purchaser shall file all Tax Returns (including amended returns and claims for refund) and information reports in a manner consistent with such allocation. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall survive the Closing.

Conditions Precedent. The obligation of Buyer to acquire the Property, the obligation of Seller to sell the Property, as contemplated by this Agreement, is subject to satisfaction of each of the following conditions precedent (any of which may be waived in writing by the party in whose favor such condition exists) on or before the applicable date specified for satisfaction of the applicable condition. Subject to Section 4.1 below, if any of such conditions is not fulfilled (or waived) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, then this Agreement shall terminate following the expiration of the applicable cure period under Section 8.1 or 8.2, and, in connection with any such termination made in accordance with this Section 3, the Seller and Buyer shall be released from further obligation or liability hereunder (except for those obligations and liabilities which, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, survive such termination), and the Escrow Deposit shall be disposed of in accordance with Section 8. The “Closing” (as hereinafter defined) shall constitute approval by each party of all matters to which such party has a right of approval and a waiver of all conditions precedent; and, in the case of Buyer, a waiver of any breaches of Seller’s representations and warranties contained herein known to Buyer as set forth in Section 9.2.3(b); except that there shall be no waiver for a breach of the Seller’s representations and warranties contained herein not known to Buyer as set forth in Section 9.2.3(b) or for any covenants expressly surviving Closing as set forth herein.

Title Matters.

1.1.2 Title Report/Survey. Buyer has received Seller’s existing title policies dated June 8, 2004 (the “Existing Policies”) issued by Fidelity National Title Insurance Company as Policy Nos. 5312-996058 and 5312-996059 and has ordered title insurance commitments for the Land dated on or after the date hereof (the “Commitment”) from First American Title Insurance Company or such other national title insurance company as Buyer selects (which company, in its capacity as title insurer hereunder, is herein called the “Title Company”). In addition, Seller has delivered and Buyer has received the surveys of the Land in Seller’s possession (the “Surveys”). Seller shall cooperate reasonably with Buyer to facilitate Buyer’s obtaining the Commitment and any updates to the Surveys or new surveys. If Buyer shall fail to deliver the Termination Notice as hereinafter defined on or before the end of the Due Diligence Period (as hereinafter defined), Buyer shall be deemed to have approved the exceptions to title shown on the Commitments and the matters disclosed on the Surveys (other than Existing Loan Documents or other Seller Mortgage Liens) and such other title or survey matters as are disclosed to Buyer during the Due Diligence Period.

1.1.3 Additional Post Due Diligence Title Matters. Approval by Buyer of any, in Buyer’s reasonable opinion, material additional exceptions to title or survey matters first arising after the end of the Due Diligence Period (“Additional Title Matters”) shall

be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligations to purchase the Property (Buyer hereby agreeing that its approval of Additional Title Matters shall not be unreasonably withheld). Unless Buyer gives written notice (“Title Disapproval Notice”) that it disapproves any Additional Title Matters, stating the Additional Title Matters so disapproved, before the sooner to occur of the Closing or ten (10) days after receipt of written notice of such Additional Title Matters, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved such Additional Title Matters. Seller shall have up to a thirty (30) day period after its receipt of any Title Disapproval Notice within which to remove the disapproved Additional Title Matters set forth therein from title or obtain from Title Company a commitment to issue an endorsement affirmatively insuring against such items in a form reasonably acceptable to Buyer at no cost or expense to Buyer (Seller having the right but not the obligation to do so), and the Closing Date shall be extended, at Seller’s option, to allow for such thirty (30) day period. In the event Seller determines at any time that it is unable or unwilling to remove any one or more of such disapproved Additional Title Matters, Seller may give written notice to Buyer to such effect; in such event, Buyer may, at its option, terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Seller (whereupon the Escrow Deposit shall be returned to Buyer) but only if given prior to the sooner to occur of the Closing or ten (10) days after Buyer receives Seller’s notice. If Buyer fails to give such termination notice by such date, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived its objection to, and approved, the matters set forth in Seller’s notice.

1.1.4 Seller Mortgage Liens. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.1.3, Seller shall be obligated to take such actions as may be required by the Title Company so that the Title Company is willing to issue title insurance to Buyer without exception for any Existing Loan Documents or other Seller Mortgage Liens. Such actions shall include obtaining a pay-off letter and leaving a portion of the Purchase Price in escrow to satisfy the Seller Mortgage Liens; provided, however, that Seller’s obligations under this Section 3.1.3 with respect to mechanics liens, attachments, or the like, not voluntarily imposed by or otherwise in the control of Seller shall be limited to the expenditure or escrow of not more than $250,000.00 in the aggregate.

1.1.5 Exceptions to Title. Buyer shall be obligated to accept title to the Property, subject to the Permitted Exceptions. Conclusive evidence of the availability of such title shall be the willingness of Title Company to issue to Buyer on the Closing Date an owner’s title insurance policy in the standard form issued in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (the “Owner’s Policy”), in the face amount of the Purchase Price, which policy shall show (i) title to the Land vested of record in Buyer’s designee, and (ii) the Permitted Exceptions to be the only exceptions to title.

1.1.6 Endorsements to Owner’s Policies. It is understood that Buyer may request a number of endorsements to the Owner’s Policies. Buyer shall satisfy itself during the Due Diligence Period that the Title Company will issue such additional endorsements in connection with the Owner’s Policies at Closing. However, the issuance of such endorsements shall not be a condition to Closing and in no event shall Seller be obligated to provide any indemnity or other document in order to issue such endorsements except as otherwise provided in and subject to Section 4.2.1(y).

Due Diligence Reviews. Except for title and survey matters (which shall be governed by the provisions of Section 3.1 above), and subject to the provisions hereinafter set

forth, Buyer shall have until 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on January 18, 2007, (the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on such date and time being herein called the “Due Diligence Period”) within which to perform and complete all of Buyer’s due diligence examinations, reviews and inspections of all matters pertaining to the purchase of the Property, including all permits, licenses, management agreements, leases, service contracts, and all physical, environmental and compliance matters (including, without limitation, compliance with any off-site mitigation requirements) and conditions respecting the Property. Seller shall provide Buyer with reasonable access to the Property (subject to this Section 3.2) upon reasonable advance notice and shall also make available to Buyer (to the extent in Seller’s possession or control) and shall instruct Manager to make available to Buyer such leases, service contracts and other information relating to the operation of the Property as Buyer shall reasonably request, all upon reasonable advance notice. By not later than January 10, 2007, Seller shall prepare and submit to Purchaser Exhibits setting forth a list of all Service Agreements and Equipment Leases in effect as well as copies of all such listed Service Agreements and Equipment Leases, whereupon the parties shall execute an amendment to the Agreement providing for the attachment of such Exhibits as Exhibits hereto. In no event, however, shall Seller be obligated to make available any attorney-client work product or privileged documents or documents in breach of confidentiality agreements or any internal memoranda, correspondence, analyses, documents or reports prepared by or for Seller for its internal use in connection with this Agreement, the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, the acquisition of the Property by Seller (other than any property condition, compliance, engineering, third party inspection or environmental reports pertaining to the Property), and appraisals or other valuations of the Property in the possession or control of Seller. Buyer shall promptly commence, and shall diligently and in good faith pursue, its due diligence review hereunder. Seller acknowledges and agrees that Buyer shall have the continued right to access the Property in accordance with this Section 3.2 at all times prior to Closing, it being understood that Buyer shall only have the right to terminate this Agreement set forth in Section 3.2.2 below on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period.

1.1.7 Review Standards. Buyer shall at all times conduct its review, inspections and examinations in a manner so as to not cause liability, damage, lien, loss, cost or expense to Seller or the Property and so as to not unreasonably interfere with or disturb Manager, any guest or any tenant at the Property, and Buyer will indemnify, defend, and hold Seller and the Property harmless from and against any such liability, damage, lien, loss, cost or expense (the foregoing obligation surviving any termination of this Agreement). Prior to entry upon the Property, Buyer shall provide Seller with copies of certificates of insurance evidencing comprehensive general liability insurance policies (naming Seller as an additional insured) which shall be maintained by Buyer in connection with its investigations upon the Property prior to the date of entry upon the Property, with limits, coverages and insurers under such policies reasonably satisfactory to Seller which insurance policies must have limits for bodily injury and death of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) for any one occurrence and not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) for property damage liability for any one occurrence. Without limitation on the foregoing, in no event shall Buyer: (a) make any intrusive physical testing (environmental, structural or otherwise) at the Property (such as soil borings, water samplings or the like) without Seller’s express written consent which may be withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion (and Buyer shall in all events promptly return the Property to their prior condition and repair thereafter) and which may be further conditioned upon, among other things, Seller’s reasonable approval of the following: (i) the insurance coverage of the contractor who

will be conducting such testing; and (ii) the scope and nature of such testing to be performed by such contractor; (b) contact the Manager or any of the Manager’s employees without Seller’s express written consent and approval of the text, scope, context and/or agenda for any proposed communication (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed in the case of any proposed contact with Manager’s senior executives); (c) contact any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Property or any tenant of the Property without Seller’s express written consent and approval of the text, scope, context and/or agenda for any proposed communication (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed in the case of any proposed contact with senior officials in any particular authority); provided, that Buyer or Buyer’s attorneys may with Seller’s prior consent and approval (not to be unreasonably withheld) of the text, scope, context and/or agenda for any proposed communication, perform a zoning and permit review or retain a third party firm engaged in the business of zoning and permit reviews to perform such a review with respect to determining Seller’s and the Property’s compliance with applicable zoning and building code requirements, and may contact governmental authorities to cause the transfer or issuance of all applicable licenses and permits (including liquor licenses) necessary for the continued normal operation of the Property following the Closing. Seller shall deliver to Buyer promptly after the date hereof copies of any zoning or permitting opinions which Seller has delivered to the Existing Indebtedness Lenders. Seller shall have the right, at its option, to cause a representative of Seller to be present at all inspections, interviews, reviews and examinations conducted hereunder, including, without limitation, any communications with Manager, any employees or any governmental authorities. Seller agrees that its representative(s) shall be reasonably available to Buyer on reasonable advance notice for purposes of the immediately preceding sentence (including, without limitation, making its representatives reasonably available to discuss issues raised by Buyer with respect to the entitlement of the Land). To the extent in Seller’s possession (or in its attorneys’ possession), Seller shall cause the materials listed on Schedule 3.2.1 attached hereto to be delivered to Buyer on or before the date set forth therefor on Schedule 3.2.1. Seller will cooperate with Buyer at Buyer’s request by using reasonable efforts to arrange a meeting for Buyer during the Due Diligence Period with a senior official having jurisdiction of the PILOT Agreement and real estate taxation matters in order that Buyer may attempt to ascertain the effect consummation of the transaction will have on the PILOT Agreement and on real estate taxes. At Seller’s written request, at no expense to and without representation, warranty by or liability to Buyer, and provided Buyer has the right to do so, Buyer shall promptly deliver to Seller true and complete copies of any written reports relating to the Property prepared for or on behalf of Buyer by any third party. In the event of any termination of this Agreement, Buyer shall return all documents and other materials furnished by Seller. Prior to Closing and subject to Section 9.14 hereof, Buyer shall keep all non-public information or data received or discovered in connection with any of Buyer’s inspections, reviews or examinations strictly confidential, except for disclosures required to comply with applicable law and disclosures to representatives, investors, lenders, counsel and agents, provided such disclosures are on an as needed basis for Buyer’s acquisition of the Property, and such persons are instructed to keep the information strictly confidential. The provisions of this Section 3.2.1 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

1.1.8 Termination Rights.

(a) If, on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall determine in its sole discretion that it no longer intends to acquire the Property, then Buyer shall promptly (but in all events prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period) notify Seller of such determination in writing (such notice being herein called the “Termination Notice”), whereupon this Agreement, and the obligations of the parties hereunder, shall terminate (and no party hereto shall have any further obligation in connection herewith except under those provisions that expressly survive a termination of this Agreement). In such event, subject to Section 2.1.1(a) above, the Escrow Deposit shall be released to Buyer by Escrow Holder. In the event that Buyer shall fail to have delivered the Termination Notice to Seller before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall have no further right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.2.2(a), and the Escrow Deposit shall not be refundable to Buyer for any reason whatsoever, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement. If Buyer obtains a written recommendation from a licensed engineer that it conduct any invasive testing or sampling, then so long as Buyer requests Seller’s consent to such testing by written notice to Seller not later than January 10, 2007 (accompanied by a copy of the engineer’s recommendation), Seller shall respond on or before January 12, 2007. If Seller fails to so respond, such failure shall be deemed a refusal of Buyer’s request.

(b) Buyer may elect to terminate the Agreement by written notice (including, without limitation, via email) to Seller on or before 12:00 pm (Eastern Standard Time) on January 19, 2007 (the “Feasibility Date”) if Buyer has not obtained and executed a firm commitment to underwrite a public offering of equity in an amount not less than One Hundred Sixty Five Million Dollars ($165,000,000.00). If Buyer terminates the Agreement in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) of the Escrow Deposit shall be released and paid to Seller as Seller’s property and the remainder of the Escrow Deposit shall be released and paid to Buyer and this Agreement shall be void, excepting those provisions which expressly survive termination.

Performance by Seller. The accuracy of Seller’s representations and warranties in all material respects and the performance and observance, in all material respects, by Seller of all covenants and agreements of this Agreement to be performed or observed by Seller prior to or on the Closing Date shall be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to acquire the Property. Without limitation on the foregoing, in the event that the Seller Closing Certificate shall disclose any material inaccuracies or material adverse changes in the representations and warranties of Seller which are not otherwise permitted or contemplated by the terms of this Agreement or known to Buyer during the Due Diligence Period, then Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement. For purposes only of determining whether or not a failure of condition has occurred under this Section 3.3, or whether a materiality threshold under Section 8.1 has been reached, a breach, inaccuracy, or adverse change shall not be considered “material” unless the loss, cost or damage arising on account thereof is reasonably expected to be $250,000 or more.

Performance by Buyer. The accuracy of Buyer’s representations and warranties in all material respects and the performance and observance, in all material respects, by Buyer of all covenants and agreements of this Agreement to be performed or observed by it prior to or on the Closing Date shall be a condition precedent to Seller’s obligation to sell the Property.

Without limitation on the foregoing, in the event that the Buyer Closing Certificate shall disclose any material inaccuracies or material adverse changes in the representations and warranties of Buyer contained in Section 6.2 which are not permitted or contemplated by the terms of this Agreement, then Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement.

Management Agreement. Seller and Buyer acknowledge and agree that the Management Agreement will be assigned by Seller to Buyer (or Buyer’s designee) and that Buyer (or Buyer’s designee) will assume the obligations of Seller under the Management Agreement as of the Closing Date pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption of Management Agreement. Seller shall cause Manager to recognize that all amounts held by Manager in the Fund (as defined in the Management Agreement) are held in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement for the benefit of Buyer from and after Closing. Seller hereby represents and warrants to Buyer that, to its knowledge, the Manager is not currently holding any amounts in the Fund, although the Management Agreement may require the same to have been paid.

Liquor Licenses. Buyer acknowledges that there may be various liquor licenses associated with the operation of the Hotel. As soon as is reasonably practicable after the Feasibility Date, Buyer shall file an application with the required state and local agencies for the issuance of such licenses (the “Required Liquor Licenses”) as are necessary for the continued service of alcoholic beverages at the Property. Buyer shall diligently pursue the obtaining of the Required Liquor Licenses at Buyer’s sole cost and expense. Seller shall cooperate and instruct Manager to cooperate reasonably with Buyer in its efforts to obtain the Required Liquor Licenses. The issuance of the Required Liquor Licenses shall not be a condition to Buyer’s obligations to close the sale contemplated hereby; provided, however, that if such Required Liquor Licenses have not issued by Closing, Seller and Buyer shall enter into an Interim Beverage Services Agreement in the form of Exhibit G attached hereto for use of Seller’s liquor licenses until the earlier of the 180th day after Closing or the date on which the Required Liquor Licenses are issued. In such event, Buyer shall maintain liquor liability insurance with coverage in the amount of at least Twenty-Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($25,000,000.00) naming Seller as additional insured, and further agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against any liability, cost or expense arising out of Seller’s cooperation with Buyer during such interim period. Seller shall provide Buyer with a list of and copies of the Liquor Licenses and all other material permits and approvals related to the Property by not later than January 10, 2007.

Audit. Buyer shall have the right to obtain from a third-party certified public accountant (at Buyer’s sole cost and expense) audits with respect to the Property providing all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles and Securities and Exchange Commission regulations, specifically in accordance with Section 3.05 of Regulation S-X and all related rules and regulations thereof. Seller, at no cost or expense to Seller, shall, and shall use reasonable efforts to cause Manager and the predecessor owner(s) and manager(s) of the Property to, cooperate in a commercially reasonable manner in connection with the performance of such audits and to provide information reasonably requested by such accountants. In connection with such audits, Seller, at no cost or expense to Seller, shall and shall use reasonable efforts to cause Manager and the predecessor owner(s) and manager(s) to provide the accountants performing such audits with representation letters conforming to American Institute

of Certified Public Accountants professional standards. Buyer completing the preparation of any such audited financial statements shall not be a condition to Closing and the failure to obtain same will not permit Buyer to terminate this Agreement.

Ground Lessor Estoppels. It shall be condition to Buyers’ obligation to close that Seller shall have obtained Ground Lessor’s consent to the transaction contemplated hereunder and shall have obtained and delivered to Buyer (i) an estoppel letter (the “Hotel Ground Lease Estoppel and Consent”) addressed to Buyer dated within thirty (30) days of the Closing with respect to the Hotel Ground Lease, consenting to the transaction and otherwise substantially in the form required under the Ground Lease, which estoppel shall, among other things, certify that there are no material defaults under the Hotel Ground Lease and (ii) an estoppel letter (the “Retail Ground Lease Estoppel and Consent”) addressed to Buyer dated within thirty (30) days of the Closing with respect to the Retail Hotel Ground Lease, consenting to the transaction and otherwise substantially in the form required under the Retail Ground Lease, which estoppel shall, among other things, certify that there are no material defaults under the Retail Ground Lease.

Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer by providing Buyer with drafts of the Amended PILOT Agreement prior to submission to a governmental authority.

Retail Ground Lease. Seller acknowledges that, in addition to its currently contemplated retail use, Buyer intends to utilize the Retail Land for certain uses ancillary to the hotel located on the Hotel Land, including, without limitation, conference room, meeting space and/or exhibition space (the “Additional Use”), and in furtherance thereof, it shall be a condition to Buyer’s obligation to close on the assignment of the Retail Ground Lease that (collectively the “Retail Special Conditions Precedent”):

1.1.14 Seller shall have obtained and delivered to Buyer a form of financeable Hotel Sublease (as defined in the Retail Ground Lease Amendment) to accommodate hotel uses on the ground floor of the Retail Parcel containing the following terms:

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.1(g), Section 4.5 and Section 8.3(f) of the Retail Lease, the rent payable by Hotel Tenant to Retail Tenant for all Hotel Sublease Areas (as defined in the Retail Ground Lease Amendment) shall be a nominal rent, and all Hotel Subleased Areas shall be excluded from the Leased Square Footage (as defined in the Retail Ground Lease) of the Premises for the purpose of calculating Minimum Rent (as defined in the Retail Ground Lease) pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Retail Lease;

No failure of condition under this Section 3.13 shall arise, however, solely on account of Seller’s failure to adopt any of Buyer’s suggestions.

Closing Procedure. Subject to Section 4.1, the closing (the “Closing”) of the transaction contemplated herein shall occur at 12:00 p.m. on the Closing Date. The Closing shall be accomplished pursuant to customary escrow instructions (the “Escrow Instructions”) to be executed by and among Buyer, Seller and the Escrow Holder.

Retail Closing.

1.1.15 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that the Retail Special Conditions Precedent are not satisfied (or waived in writing by Buyer) on or before the Closing Date (a “Retail Conditions Failure”), at Buyer’s option, the assignment of the Retail Ground Lease shall not occur at the scheduled closing of the assignment of the Hotel Ground Lease and the Option Agreement (the “Hotel and Option Closing”), but shall instead occur at the Retail Closing referred to in Section 4.1.2 below. If Buyer does not waive a Retail Conditions Failure, the Hotel and Option Closing shall proceed as scheduled and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount allocated to the Retail Ground Lease on Schedule 2.2 attached hereto (the “Retail Allocation,” i.e. $20,000,000.00) and Seller’s obligation to sell, and Buyer’s obligation to buy, the Retail Ground Lease as contemplated by this Agreement shall be deferred in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Section 4.1.2 below. For purposes of clarification, in the event of a Retail Conditions Failure not waived by Buyer, Seller shall remain obligated to sell, and Buyer shall remain obligated to buy, the balance of the Property (excluding the Retail Ground Lease) on the Hotel and Option Closing Date in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

1.1.16 At 12:00 p.m. on the date (the “Retail Closing Date”) that is ten (10) days after the date that the Retail Special Conditions Precedent are satisfied (or waived in writing by Buyer), Buyer shall be obligated to buy, and Seller shall be obligated to sell, the Retail Ground Lease (the “Retail Closing”) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement as though the Retail Ground Lease had not been excluded from the transaction contemplated by this Agreement under Section 4.1.1. The purchase price for the Retail Ground Lease (the “Retail Purchase Price”) shall be an amount equal to the Retail Allocation. In the event that the Retail Special Conditions Precedent have not been satisfied or waived on or before December 31, 2007, Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, whereupon the Retail Escrow Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any further obligation hereunder except for those obligations which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement.

1.1.17 The terms “Closing” and “Closing Date” as used in this Agreement shall refer to the Hotel and Option Closing and/or the Retail Closing and the Retail Closing Date, respectively, as the case may be. The parties agree that they shall respectively cause all relevant deliverables set forth in Section 4.2 below with respect to either Closing to be delivered to the Escrow Holder prior to the Hotel and Option Closing Date and the Retail Closing Date, respectively, to the full extent such deliverables are applicable to the relevant Closing.

(c) Taxes.

(i) All real estate taxes or payments in lieu thereof, personal property taxes and other assessments on the Property shall be prorated at Closing. Seller shall be responsible for all real property taxes or payments in lieu thereof and personal property taxes and other assessments for the tax periods prior to the Closing Date, and Buyer shall be responsible for all real property taxes or payments in lieu thereof and personal property taxes and other assessments for the tax periods from and after the Closing Date; however if any special improvement assessments on the Property are payable in installments, then the installments (including the current installment) shall be prorated as of the Cut-Off Time (with Buyer assuming the obligation to pay any installments payable after the Closing).

The parties also agree that no credit shall be given for any complimentary Vouchers. Seller shall request that Manager deliver to Buyer one (1) business day prior to the Closing Date a list of all such Vouchers.

(f) Utilities and Insurance. Buyer shall be responsible for all dealings with utility service providers with respect to any actions to change over accounts to Buyer as of the Closing Date.

If necessary, at the request of Buyer, Seller shall complete the customary forms required by any telephone company or telephone company service provider to assign the Property’s existing telephone numbers to Buyer.

The parties further agree that with respect to sick pay, at the end of the calendar year in which the Closing occurs, Buyer shall reimburse Seller for all unused sick pay credited to Buyer at Closing which did not carry over to the following calendar year.

1.1.21 Calculation. The Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer a preliminary closing statement (the “Preliminary Closing Statement”) which shall show the net amount due either to Seller or Buyer as a result thereof, and such net amount will be added to, or subtracted from the payment of the Purchase Price to be paid to Seller pursuant to the terms hereof. If any of the prorations or credits cannot be calculated based on actual figures, then they shall be calculated based on Seller’s good faith estimates thereof. Within one hundred and twenty (120) days following the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and submit to Seller a recalculation of the prorations and credits, reflecting actual figures and not estimates. Such recalculation shall be binding on Buyer and Seller unless Seller delivers to Buyer, within thirty (30) days after Seller has received such recalculation, a notice (“Audit Notice”) stating Seller does not agree with such calculations, and, if such notice is given, a nationally recognized accounting firm selected by Seller and reasonably approved by Buyer shall be engaged to make the final determination of such prorations and credits (the accounting firm engaged to make such determination herein called the “Accounting Firm”). If Buyer notifies Seller after receipt of the Audit notice that it does not approve Xxxxxx & Shuffain, P.C. as the Accounting Firm (which Audit Notice shall request such approval or disapproval), then Buyer shall be deemed to approve either Price Waterhouse Coopers or Ernst and Young as the Accounting Firm unless within thirty (30) days after the delivery of an Audit Notice, Seller shall provide notice to Buyer of another Big Four accounting firm selected by Seller; if Buyer reasonably objects to the accounting firm so selected by Seller, Buyer shall give notice of disapproval within fifteen (15) days after the delivery of the notice from Seller of Seller’s selection (and if Buyer fails to give a notice of such disapproval within such fifteen (15) day period, Buyer will be deemed to have approved Seller’s selection). If Buyer reasonably objects to the firm so selected by Seller within such fifteen (15) day period, Seller shall nominate another accounting firm, which shall be subject to Buyer’s reasonable approval using the same procedure as provided in the preceding sentence. The fees and costs of the Accounting Firm in making such determination shall be borne as follows: if the net amount of the prorations and credits determined by the Accounting Firm is within 2% of the net amount as determined by Buyer, Seller shall bear the entire fees and costs of the Accounting Firm in making such determination; and if the net amount of the prorations and credits determined by the Accounting Firm is greater than 2% of the net amount as determined by Buyer, Buyer shall bear the entire fees and costs of the Accounting Firm in making such determination. Each of Seller and Buyer shall cooperate in good faith and act reasonably after Closing to assist Manager and Accounting Firm in their determinations

1.1.22 Accounts Receivable. Accounts Receivable shall be identified as of the Cut-Off Time. Seller shall receive a credit for, and Buyer shall purchase from Seller, all accounts receivable (other than the Guest Ledger) that are less than ninety (90) days past due. Such credit shall equal the amount of the accounts receivable, less (i) credit card charges, travel company charges and similar commissions and (ii) on all accounts receivable other than credit card receivables, a percentage discount for uncollectible amounts for past due receivables as mutually agreed upon by the parties prior to Closing not to exceed three percent (3%). Subject to the following sentence, all accounts receivable and credit card claims for goods and services furnished prior to the Cut-Off Time that are not so purchased by Buyer shall remain the property of Seller and, to the extent Buyer receives any payments on account thereof after Closing (A) if the applicable account debtor who makes such payment then owes payment on one of Seller’s accounts receivable and no accounts receivable of Buyer, then Buyer shall immediately remit such amount (net of travel agent commissions or credit card company charges for payment of such claims) to Seller, and (B) if the applicable account debtor who makes such payment then owes payment on accounts receivable owing to Buyer and to Seller, such payments (net of travel agent commissions or credit card company charges for payment of such claims) shall be applied to pay accounts receivable in order of priority from the least-aged to the most-aged. The foregoing shall apply to past due or accruing room rents and other customary Hotel charges including the guest and city ledgers.

1.1.23 Bank Accounts, Reserves, Inventory and Seller’s Deposits. Buyer and Seller shall mutually agree upon the aggregate amount of cash in the house bank accounts, house banks and cash on hand as of the Closing Date (the “Aggregate Cash Amount”). At the Closing, Seller shall be credited with the Aggregate Cash Amount, including without limitation any management account (but excluding the Fund account which will be treated in accordance with the provision of Section 3.5 hereof), to the Cut-Off Time. For avoidance of doubt, Seller will receive a credit for all transferred cash accounts other than the Fund account, including the cash amount of working capital transferred at Closing and any amounts on deposit in any accounts established pursuant to Section 3.5.1(a), (b) or (d) of the Management Agreement. All transferable deposits of Seller made for utilities, maintenance or service contracts, licenses, or otherwise, shall be transferred to Buyer and credited to Seller at Closing. Seller shall not receive a credit at Closing for unopened Consumables, Inventory of Supplies and Inventory of Merchandise.

Buyer shall pay all accounts payable relating to goods and services

for which orders have been placed but, as of the Cut-off Time, such goods and services have not yet been delivered or provided. All fees, reimbursements and other amounts payable to the Manager under the Management Agreement shall be apportioned between Seller and Buyer as of the Cut-off Time.

Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in the event of an actual, pending or threatened condemnation or temporary condemnation of longer than six (6) months that has or reasonably would be expected to have a material adverse impact on the operations of the Property, in which event the Escrow Deposit shall be returned to Buyer. If Buyer does not so elect to terminate this Agreement, then the Closing shall take place as provided herein, and Seller shall assign to Buyer at the Closing all of Seller’s interest in any condemnation award which may be payable to Seller on account of any such condemnation and, at Closing, Seller shall credit to the amount of the Purchase Price payable by Buyer the amount, if any, of condemnation proceeds received by Seller between the date of this Agreement and Closing less any amounts which are reasonably allocated to lost earnings reasonably allocated or attributed to the period of time prior to Closing or which are used to repair or restore the applicable property prior to Closing.

If, prior to Closing, the Property is damaged by fire or other casualty which is insured (without regard to deductibles) to an extent as would not cost (as to the damaged property) more than $8,000,000.00 and would not take longer than six (6) months to repair, and if the holders of the existing loans to Seller permit insurance proceeds to be used to repair and restore the Property, then the Closing shall take place without abatement of the Purchase Price, but Seller shall assign to Buyer at Closing all of Seller’s interest in any insurance proceeds (except only, rent loss and business interruption insurance, and any similar insurance attributable to the period preceding the Closing Date) that may be payable to Seller on account of any such fire or other casualty, plus Seller shall credit the amount of any deductibles under any policies related to such proceeds to the Purchase Price to the extent such deductibles or insurance proceeds have not been previously expended or are otherwise required to reimburse Seller for actual expenditures of restoration. If any such damage due to fire or other casualty is insured and is to such an extent as would cost more than $8,000,000.00 or would take longer than six (6) months to repair, or if such holders will not permit insurance proceeds to be used to repair and restore the Property then, at Buyer’s option, Buyer may terminate this Agreement and the Escrow Deposit shall be returned to Buyer. Should Buyer nevertheless elect to proceed to

Closing, the Closing shall take place without abatement of the Purchase Price and at Closing Seller shall assign to Buyer all of Seller’s interest in any insurance proceeds (except only, rent loss and business interruption insurance, and any similar insurance, in each case, attributable to the period preceding the Closing Date) that may be payable to Seller on account of any such fire or other casualty, and Seller shall grant to Buyer a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the amount of the applicable deductible, to the extent such deductibles or insurance proceeds have not been previously expended or are otherwise required to reimburse Owner for actual expenditures of restoration. If, prior to Closing, the Property is damaged by fire or other casualty which is uninsured and would cost more than $8,000,000.00 to repair or would take longer than six (6) months to repair, then, at Buyer’s option, Buyer may terminate this Agreement and the Escrow Deposit shall be returned to Buyer. If Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement with respect to such uninsured casualty in the immediately preceding sentence, or if any uninsured casualty would not cost more than $8,000,000.00 to repair and would not take longer than six (6) months to repair, then the Closing shall take place as provided herein, and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the estimated amount to repair casualty not to exceed such $8,000,000.00.

BUYER RELEASES SELLER AND ALL SELLER RELATED PARTIES FROM ALL CLAIMS WHICH ANY BUYER OR ANY PARTY RELATED TO OR AFFILIATED WITH BUYER (A “BUYER RELATED PARTY”) HAS OR MAY HAVE ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO ANY MATTER OR THING RELATED TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROPERTY INCLUDING THE DOCUMENTS AND INFORMATION REFERRED TO HEREIN, THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT, THE LEASES AND THE TENANTS THEREUNDER, ANY CONSTRUCTION DEFECTS, ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE DESIGN OR CONSTRUCTION AND ANY ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS, AND BUYER SHALL NOT LOOK TO ANY SELLER RELATED PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE FOREGOING FOR ANY REDRESS OR RELIEF. THIS RELEASE SHALL BE GIVEN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT ACCORDING TO EACH OF ITS EXPRESSED TERMS AND PROVISIONS, INCLUDING THOSE RELATING TO UNKNOWN AND UNSUSPECTED CLAIMS, DAMAGES AND CAUSES OF ACTION. HOWEVER, THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 7.1 SHALL NOT AFFECT, APPLY OR LIMIT SELLER’S EXPRESS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE DOCUMENTS EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH.

SURVIVAL. THIS SECTION SHALL SURVIVE ANY TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE CLOSING.

Disposition Of Escrow Deposit.

Default by Seller. If the Closing fails to occur by reason of Seller’s default under this Agreement in a material respect or the failure of satisfaction of conditions benefiting Buyer under Section 3, which is not cured or satisfied on or before thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by Buyer to Seller, then the Escrow Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, and neither party shall have any further obligation or liability to the other (other than those obligations that expressly survive a termination of this Agreement); provided, however, if the transactions hereunder shall fail to close solely by reason of Seller’s default, in a material respect, which is not cured within the thirty (30) day period set forth above in this Section 8.1, and Buyer is not in default in any material respect, then Buyer shall be entitled to (i) specifically enforce this Agreement as its sole and exclusive remedy or (ii) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Escrow Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, excepting those which survive termination. As provided above in the

immediately preceding clause, the Closing Date shall be extended for a period of time, up to thirty (30) days, as necessary to enable Seller to cure and, if at of the end of such period Seller has not cured such default and Buyer chooses to specifically enforce this Agreement, the Closing Date for such purpose (and for any obligation to tender performance by Buyer as a condition to seeking specific performance) shall be agreed to be as of the last day of such thirty (30) day period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement as a result of Seller’s default in a material respect or as a result of a representation and warranty that was not true in a material respect as of the date when made and was not known by Buyer prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period to be untrue in a material respect, or which became materially untrue after the date when made as a result of Seller’s actions or omissions, Seller shall reimburse Buyer for its documented, reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with this transaction up to a maximum aggregate of $500,000. If as a result of any extension of the Closing Date under this Section 8.1, Buyer incurs or suffers any additional out-of-pocket expense on account of any rate lock, commitment extension or the like, Seller will at Closing reimburse Buyer therefor up to a maximum aggregate of $500,000.

Default By Buyer. In the event that Buyer shall fail in breach of this Agreement to pay the Purchase Price and accept the Property on the Closing Date, then the Escrow Deposit shall be delivered to Seller as full compensation and liquidated damages under this Agreement for such failure to close. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Buyer consummates the purchase of all but the Retail Ground Lease on the Hotel and Option Closing Date and fails in breach of this Agreement to pay the Retail Purchase Price and accept the Retail Ground Lease on the Retail Closing Date, the Seller may at its option elect to (a) enforce specific performance of this Agreement or (b) receive payment of the Retail Escrow Deposit (hereinafter defined) as full compensation and liquidated damages under the Agreement for such failure to close. In connection with the foregoing, the parties recognize that Seller will incur expense in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and that the Property will be removed from the market; further, in the case of the Retail Ground Lease, that the Seller will have no adequate remedy at law in the event of Buyer’s breach; and further, that it is extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain the extent of detriment to Seller caused by the breach by Buyer under this Agreement and the failure of the consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or the amount of compensation Seller should receive as a result of Buyer’s breach or default. The foregoing provisions of this Section 8.2 shall not limit or affect Buyer’s liability to Seller under any of Buyer’s indemnities which survive Closing or termination of the Agreement, with respect to which Seller shall have available to it all remedies at law or in equity.

Closing. In the event the transaction herein provided shall close, the Escrow Deposit shall be applied as a partial payment of the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a Retail Conditions Failure occurs and the Hotel and Option Closing takes place prior to the Retail Closing, (a) Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) of the Escrow Deposit (the “Retail Escrow Deposit”) shall be retained by the Escrow Agent on the Hotel and Option Closing Date in accordance with the terms of the Interim Deposit Agreement and (b) the balance of the Escrow Deposit shall be applied as a partial payment of the Purchase Price at the Hotel and Option Closing. In such event, the Retail Escrow Deposit shall be treated for all purposes in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.1 and 8.2 above, provided that all references to the “Escrow Deposit”, the “Closing” and the “Closing Date” shall be deemed references to the “Retail Escrow Deposit,” the “Retail Closing” and the “Retail Closing Date,” as

the case may be. In the event that the Retail Closing occurs, the Retail Escrow Deposit shall be applied as a partial payment of the Retail Purchase Price, and in the event the Retail Closing does not occur the Retail Escrow Deposit shall be paid to the party entitled thereto pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and in accordance with Sections 8.1 and 8.2 hereof.

Miscellaneous.

Brokers.

1.1.66 Except as provided in Section 9.1.2 below, Seller represents and warrants to Buyer, and Buyer represents and warrants to Seller, that no broker or finder has been engaged by it, respectively, in connection with the sale contemplated by this Agreement. In the event of a claim for broker’s or finder’s fee or commissions in connection with the sale contemplated by this Agreement, then Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer from the same if it shall be based upon any statement or agreement alleged to have been made by Seller, and Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller from the same if it shall be based upon any statement or agreement alleged to have been made by Buyer. The provisions of this Section 9.1 shall survive the Closing and shall not be subject to the limitations on survival in Section 6.3 or the limitations on liability in Section 9.2.

1.1.67 If and only if the sale contemplated herein closes, Seller has agreed to pay a brokerage commission to Broker pursuant to a separate written agreement between Seller and Broker.

Limitation of Liability.

1.1.68 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Closing of the transactions hereunder shall have occurred: (1) Seller shall have no liability (and Buyer shall make no claim against Seller) for indemnity or for breach of any representation or warranty under this Agreement unless the valid claims for indemnity and all such breaches collectively aggregate (taking into account claims relating to both the Hotel and Option Closing and the Retail Closing, in the aggregate) to more than $250,000, (2) the liability of the Seller under this Agreement for indemnity and all breaches of representations and warranties under this Agreement shall not exceed, in the aggregate (i) with respect to claims relating only to the Hotel and Option Closing an amount equal to $7,000,000.00, and (ii) with respect to claims relating only to the Retail Closing, an amount equal to $500,000.00. In no event shall Seller be liable for any consequential or punitive damages. As used herein, the term “Maximum Liability Amount” shall refer, if there is no separate Retail Closing, to the sum of $7,500,000.00, or, if there is a separate Retail Closing to the sum of $7,000,000.00 or the sum of $500,000.00 (as applicable as set forth above in this Section 9.7.1) Seller covenants that it will retain and not distribute sales proceeds equal to the Maximum Liability Amount until the expiration of the applicable Survival Period, whereupon it may distribute the same, less the amount of any then pending claims.

1.1.69 Except in accordance with the joinder attached hereto (the “Joinder”), no constituent member or partner in or agent of Seller, nor any advisor, trustee, director, officer, employee, beneficiary, shareholder, member, partner, participant, representative

or agent of any partnership, limited liability company, corporation, trust or other entity that has or acquires a direct or indirect interest in Seller, shall have any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with this Agreement or any agreement made or entered into under or pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, or any amendment or amendments to any of the foregoing made at any time or times, heretofore or hereafter, and Buyer and its successors and assigns and, without limitation, all other persons and entities, shall look solely to Seller’s assets for the payment of any claim or for any performance, and Buyer, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, hereby waives any and all such personal liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither the negative capital account of any constituent member or partner in Seller (or in any other constituent member or partner of Seller), nor any obligation of any constituent member or partner in Seller (or in any other constituent member or partner of Seller) to restore a negative capital account or to contribute capital to Seller (or to any other constituent member or partner of Seller), shall at any time be deemed to be the property or an asset of Seller or any such other constituent member or partner (and neither Buyer nor any of its successors or assigns shall have any right to collect, enforce or proceed against or with respect to any such negative capital account or a member’s or partner’s obligation to restore or contribute) but shall have the right to pursue any distribution of the Purchase Price to such members in violation of the Joinder.

1.1.70 The foregoing shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any further limitation of liability that might otherwise apply (whether by reason of Buyer’s waiver, relinquishment or release of any applicable rights or otherwise). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the liability of each party hereto resulting from the breach or default by either party shall be limited to actual damages incurred by the injured party and the parties hereto hereby waive their rights to recover from the other party consequential, punitive, exemplary, and speculative damages. The representations and warranties of Seller are also subject to the following express limitations:

(a) The amendment, expiration or termination of any Lease, Equipment Lease, Rooms Agreement, Booking or Service Agreement or the entering into of any new such agreement occurring in compliance with the terms of this Agreement that does not materially adversely affect the operation of the Hotel and the Property shall not affect the obligations of Buyer hereunder or render any representation or warranty of Seller untrue.

(b) To the extent that Buyer actually knows prior to the Closing Date that any of Seller’s representations and warranties are inaccurate, untrue or incorrect in any way, and Buyer nevertheless elects to proceed to Closing, such representations and warranties shall be deemed modified to reflect Buyer’s actual knowledge.

1.1.71 The provisions of this Section 9.2 shall survive the Closing.

Exhibits; Entire Agreement; Modification. All exhibits attached and referred to in this Agreement are hereby incorporated herein as if fully set forth in (and shall be deemed to be a part of) this Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties respecting the matters herein set forth and supersedes all prior agreements between the parties hereto respecting such matters; provided, however, that the existing Confidentiality Agreement

between the parties shall remain in effect and be binding upon the parties until Closing. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by written agreement signed by both parties.

Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement. However, whenever action must be taken (including the giving of notice or the delivery of documents) under this Agreement during a certain period of time (or by a particular date) that ends (or occurs) on a non business day, then such period (or date) shall be extended until the immediately following business day. As used herein, “business day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday, a federal holiday, or a state holiday in Massachusetts.

Interpretation. Section headings shall not be used in construing this Agreement. Each party acknowledges that such party and its counsel, after negotiation and consultation, have reviewed and revised this Agreement. As such, the terms of this Agreement shall be fairly construed and the usual rule of construction, to the effect that any ambiguities herein should be resolved against the drafting party, shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or exhibits hereto or thereto. The words “herein”, “hereof”, “hereunder”, “hereby”, “this Agreement” and other similar references shall be construed to mean and include this Agreement and all amendments and supplements hereto unless the context shall clearly indicate or require otherwise. Whenever the words “including”, “include” or “includes” are used in this Agreement, they shall be interpreted in a non-exclusive manner. Except as otherwise indicated, all Exhibit and Section references in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the Exhibits and Sections in this Agreement.

Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Successors and Assigns. Buyer may not assign or transfer its rights or obligations under this Agreement or nominate any other Person to accept Seller’s performance without the prior written consent of Seller either directly or indirectly (whether by outright transfer, transfer of ownership interests or otherwise); provided, however, so long as the same has already received the consent of Ground Lessor and Manager, if and to the extent required under the Retail Ground Lease, the Hotel Ground Lease, the Option Agreement and/or the Management Agreement, as applicable, Buyer may assign its interest in this Agreement on or before the Closing Date to, or may nominate, an entity in which Buyer has direct or indirect control and has more than a 50% direct or indirect ownership interest so long as Buyer and the assignee execute and deliver an assignment and assumption agreement in form reasonably satisfactory to Seller. In the event of a transfer, the transferee shall assume in writing all of the transferor’s obligations hereunder, but such transferor shall not be released from its obligations hereunder unless and until the Closing occurs. No consent given by Seller to any transfer or assignment of Buyer’s rights or obligations hereunder shall be construed as a consent to any other transfer or assignment of Buyer’s rights or obligations hereunder. No transfer or assignment in violation of the provisions hereof shall be valid or enforceable. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of the parties. Seller acknowledges that certain items of tangible and/or intangible personal property may need to be assigned to Buyer’s operating lessee and the applicable closing documents shall be modified accordingly as requested by Buyer including through the use of separate bills of sale and assignments or otherwise as reasonably requested by Buyer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, transfers of publicly traded interests in entities which are listed on a nationally recognized exchange shall not be considered assignments or transfers for purposes of this Section 9.7. Either party may upon notice to the other elect to arrange the sale or acquisition of the Property as a like-kind exchange (“LKE”) pursuant to 26 U.S.C. §1031 and the Treasury. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.7, in structuring the transaction as an LKE, so long as all requisite third party consents have been obtained (which Seller shall use reasonable efforts, not including the payment of money or the bringing of any law suit, to cooperate in obtaining), either party shall have the right to assign to a qualified intermediary all of its rights (but not its duties and obligations) under this Agreement. Neither party shall be required to take title to any other property or to incur any out-of-pocket cost on account of the LKE. The party proposing an LKE shall indemnify and hold the other party harmless from and against any liability, loss, claim, cost or damage the other party may suffer arising out of the LKE.

Notices. Any notice which a party is required or may desire to give the other shall be in writing and may be sent by personal delivery, by mail (either [i] by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or [ii] by Federal Express or similar generally recognized overnight carrier regularly providing proof of delivery or by telecopy (with a copy by mail), addressed as follows (subject to the right of a party to designate a different address for itself by notice similarly given):

Third Parties. Nothing in this Agreement, whether expressed or implied, is intended to confer any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement on any person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, nor is anything in this Agreement intended to relieve or discharge the obligation or liability of any third persons to any party to this Agreement, nor shall any provision give any third parties any right of subrogation or action over or against any party to this Agreement. This Agreement is not intended to and does not create any third party beneficiary rights whatsoever.

Legal Costs. The parties hereto agree that they shall pay directly any and all legal costs which they have incurred on their own behalf in the preparation of this Agreement, all deeds and other agreements pertaining to this transaction and that such legal costs shall not be part of the Closing costs. In addition, if either Buyer or Seller brings any suit or other proceeding, including an arbitration proceeding, with respect to the subject matter or the enforcement of this Agreement, the prevailing party (as determined by the court, agency, arbitrator or other authority before which such suit or proceeding is commenced), in addition to such other relief as may be awarded, shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and costs of investigation actually incurred. The foregoing includes attorneys’ fees, expenses and costs of investigation (including those incurred in appellate proceedings), costs incurred in establishing the right to indemnification, or in any action or participation in, or in connection with, any case or proceeding under Chapter 7, 11 or 13 of the Bankruptcy Code (11 United States Code Sections 101 et seq.), or any successor statutes. The provisions of this Section 9.10 shall survive the Closing and any termination of this Agreement.

No Recordation.

Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same document. Delivery by facsimile, or e-mail of a PDF copy, of a counterpart of this Agreement executed by a party shall constitute delivery by such party of such party’s executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Effectiveness. In no event shall any draft of this Agreement create any obligation or liability, it being understood that this Agreement shall be effective and binding only when a counterpart hereof has been executed and delivered by each party hereto.

Press Releases or other Disclosure. Seller and Buyer agree not to disclose or make any public announcements with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement or the existence of this Agreement without the consent of the other party. If either party desires to issue a press release or other public announcement regarding this Agreement or the transaction set forth herein, subject to the immediately preceding sentence, such party shall obtain the approval of the other party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such disclosure shall be made by either party, nor shall any such consent be sought by either party, prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period; provided, however, that at any time any one or more of Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx X. Xxxx or Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx may communicate with senior governmental officials and senior executives of Manager for purposes of alerting them to the transaction and preparing them for the requests that will be made of them in accordance with the terms hereof. On or after January 10, 2007 Buyer may publicly disclose the transaction in connection with its efforts to underwrite a public offering of equity in connection with the financing of the transaction and Buyer may communicate at any time with its accountants, legal counsel, prospective underwriters and prospective underwriter’s counsel so long as it instructs such parties to keep any such communication confidential. The provisions of this Section 9.14 shall survive the closing and any termination of this Agreement.

Indemnities.

1.1.72 Agreement to Indemnify. (i) Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and any partner, member, manager officer, director, trustee, beneficiary, employee or agent of Buyer (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnitees”) from and against any and all obligations, claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements (collectively, “Damages”) to the extent arising out of (A) any loss or damage to property or injury to or death of any person occurring on or about or in connection with the Property or any portion thereof at any time or times prior to the applicable Closing Date (other than as to and excluding Damages of or to a governmental authority arising out of the physical or environmental condition of the Property prior to the applicable Closing Date and other than as to Damages for remediation pertaining to

the physical or environmental condition of the Property prior to the applicable Closing Date), (B) subject to the limitations set forth herein, a breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller hereunder or in any certificate delivered by Seller hereunder, or (C) obligations and liabilities of Seller accruing or arising prior to the applicable Closing under any of the Hotel Ground Lease, the Retail Ground Lease, the Option Agreement, the PILOT Agreement, the License Agreement, the Management Agreement or the matters assigned under the Other Assignment and Assumption Agreement (collectively, the “Assigned Matters”) and (ii) Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and any partner, member, manager, officer, director, trustee, beneficiary, employee or agent of Seller (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Damages to the extent arising out of (A) any loss or damage to property or injury to or death of any person occurring on or about the Property or any portion thereof on or at any time or times after the applicable Closing Date (other than as to and excluding Damages of or to a Governmental Authority arising out of or resulting from or relating to the physical or environmental condition of the Property prior to the applicable Closing Date and other than as to Damages for remediation pertaining to the physical or environmental condition of the Property prior to the applicable Closing Date), (B) a breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer hereunder or in any certificate delivered by Buyer hereunder or a breach of Buyer’s covenant to use commercially reasonable best efforts to agree on a form of Hotel Sublease to the extent set forth in Section 3.13.6 above, or (C) obligations or liabilities of Buyer accruing or arising on or after the applicable Closing under any of the Assigned Matters. The provisions of this Section 9.15.1 shall survive the Closing and the termination of this Agreement. Seller’s liabilities under this Section 9.15 shall not extend the applicable Survival Period stated in Section 6.3 hereof or exceed the Maximum Liability Amount provided in Section 9.2.1 hereof, to the extent not covered by insurance.

1.1.73 Indemnification Procedure for Third Party Claims. In the case of any claim asserted by a third party which claim is subject to indemnification by either party hereunder, ( a “Third-Party Claim”), the party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnitee”) shall notify the other party (the “Indemnitor”) promptly after has actual knowledge of any such Third-Party Claim as to which indemnity may be sought (provided that failure to so notify shall not affect the Indemnitor’s obligations hereunder except to the extent materially prejudiced by such failure), and Indemnitee shall permit the Indemnitor, at its sole expense, to assume the defense of any such Third-Party Claim, provided that Indemnitee may participate in such defense or administration at Indemnitee’s sole expense (provided, however, that if a conflict of interest exists such that separate counsel must be engaged by Indemnitee and the Indemnitor, the Indemnitor shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and costs for such counsel for Indemnitee bug only for one separate counsel for all Indemnitees). The Indemnitor, in the defense of any such Third-Party Claim, shall not, except with the consent of Indemnitee, which Indemnitee agrees will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed with respect to a monetary settlement, judgment or relief, (a) consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that provides for injunctive or other non-monetary relief against Indemnitee or (b) pursue any course of defense of any such Third-Party Claim subject to indemnification hereunder if Indemnitee shall reasonably and in good faith determine that the conduct of such defense could be expected to adversely affect in any material respect Indemnitee, its direct or indirect owners, the use of the Property to which the Third-Party Claim relates. In addition, if the Indemnitor obtains and desires to accept from a party to any such Third-Party Claim an offer to settle the Third-Party Claim solely for an amount certain, then Indemnitee agrees that if requested by the

Indemnitor, Indemnitee will, at its sole expense, assume defense of such Third-Party Claim and thereafter the Indemnitor’s obligation with respect to such Third-Party Claim shall not exceed the costs of defense then incurred and the dollar amount of the settlement the Indemnitor proposed to accept immediately prior to such assumption by Indemnitee, it being agreed between Indemnitee and the Indemnitor that Indemnitee will pay any greater amounts owing and bear any other impositions in excess of those contemplated in the proposed settlement arrangement. In the event that the Indemnitor does not accept the defense of any matter as above provided, Indemnitee shall have the full right to defend against any such Third-Party Claim or demand and shall be entitled to settle or agree to pay in full such Third-Party Claim or demand, in its sole discretion. In any event, the Indemnitor and Indemnitee shall cooperate in the defense of any action or claim subject to this Agreement and each agrees to make its records available to the other with respect to such defense as reasonably requested and to the extent doing so does not compromise any claim of privilege or any other defense available to it. Acceptance of the defense of any Third-Party Claim or of the administration of any Third-Party Claim by the Indemnitor shall be without prejudice to the Indemnitor’s right to assert at any time before or after accepting such defense or administration that it is not obligated to provide an indemnity, either in whole or in part, with respect to such Third-Party Claim. In the event that the Indemnitor asserts that it is not obligated to provide an indemnity to Indemnitee with respect to a Third-Party Claim, Indemnitee shall have the right to defend such Third-Party Claim, and if the Indemnitor is adjudicated liable for indemnifying Indemnitee, the Indemnitor shall reimburse Indemnitee for its out-of-pocket expenses in defending such Third-Party Claim and all settlements and judgments reasonably incurred as a result of such Third-Party Claim.

JOINDER

Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx X. Xxxx and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx (each a “Principal” and collectively, the “Principals”), hereby join in the foregoing Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) for the purpose of guaranteeing, and do hereby agree to be liable for, as a primary obligor, the full and faithful payment and performance (and not merely collection) of the Obligations (as hereinafter defined). Any capitalized term not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Purchase Agreement.

1. The following paragraphs (a) and (b) are referred to herein as the “Obligations.”:

(a) Principals covenant and guarantee to Buyer that as of the date of the applicable Closing (i.e. the Hotel and Option Closing and/or the Retail Closing) through the end of the applicable Survival Period (and, if a claim is made by Buyer under the Purchase Agreement during the applicable Survival Period, then until such claim is resolved), Principals shall (a) cause Hotel Seller and Retail Seller to have, in the aggregate, a tangible aggregate net worth of, and no less than, the applicable Maximum Liability Amount (less the aggregate amount actually paid to Buyer Indemnitees pursuant to Section 9.15.1 of the Purchase Agreement) in unrestricted cash or cash equivalents on hand, such sums to be held in unblocked accounts owned solely by Hotel Seller and Retail Seller, as applicable, which sums shall be not be encumbered by any liens, security interests or other third-party interests (the “Minimum Cash Requirement”). Principals covenant and guarantee to Buyer that each Principal will not, and will not cause Hotel Seller or Retail Seller to (1) engage in any activities that will materially decrease the Minimum Cash Requirement held by Hotel Seller and Retail Seller, or (2) without just cause to do so based upon a defense to payment or performance, delay or otherwise hinder or impair Buyer’s ability to recover from Seller under the Purchase Agreement or from Principals under this Joinder. From time to time, promptly upon Buyer’s request, Principals shall provide documentation reasonably acceptable to Buyer demonstrating that Seller is in compliance with the provisions of this paragraph.

(b) To the extent the Hotel Seller and the Retail Seller do not maintain, through the applicable Survival Period (or, if a claim is made by Buyer under the Purchase Agreement during the applicable Survival Period, until such claim is resolved), the Minimum Cash Requirement, the Principals hereby guarantee, and do hereby agree to be liable for, jointly and severally, the payment and performance of each and all of the obligations of Seller under the Purchase Agreement up to the amount by which the Minimum Cash Requirement exceeds the amount of unrestricted cash or cash equivalent on hand held by Seller.

2. Buyer shall have the right from time to time to demand payment from Principals of such sums for which Principals may become liable hereunder, which demand shall be in writing and which payment shall be in lawful money of the United States.

3. The obligations of Principals hereunder are independent of the obligations of Seller, or the obligations of any other person who may be liable to Buyer, in whole or in part for the Obligations, or any part thereof, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Principals whether or not an action is brought against Seller and whether or not Seller is joined in such action or actions.

4. Principals authorize Buyer and Seller, without notice or consent and without affecting, impairing or discharging Principals’ liability hereunder, to from time to time (a) renew, modify, amend, extend or discharge any other term contained within the Purchase Agreement, (b) exercise or refrain from exercising any of their rights or obligations under the Purchase Agreement, at law or in equity, or (c) release in whole or in part Seller or any member in Seller from liability. Buyer may not assign its interest under this Joinder, except to an entity to which Buyer expressly is permitted under the Purchase Agreement to assign its interest in the Purchase Agreement.
