expense, return the same to substantially the same condition which existed

2.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Closing.

than three percent (3%) of the Allocable Purchase Price of such Property are
required in order to bring such Property into a reasonably satisfactory
condition in accordance with prevailing standards, as the case may be, for like
hotels, or (y) the calculation with respect to such Property of net operating
income varies by three percent (3%) or more of that set forth in the financial
data provided by the Candlewood Parties to the Purchaser prior to the date
hereof (any such Property being hereinafter referred to as a "Defective
Property"), and (ii) the Purchaser gives written notice thereof to the
Candlewood Parties no later than the expiration of the Review Period (time being
of the essence with respect to the giving of such notice), identifying the
Defective Property or Defective Properties and the specific defects with respect
thereto, the Candlewood Parties shall, subject to paragraph (c) below, be
required to permit the Purchaser to acquire all of the Properties other than
such Defective Property or Defective Properties.
(b) If, prior to the Closing, (i) any Property suffers a casualty or
condemnation which would cause such Property or Properties to become a Defective
Property, (ii) such Property is not, prior to the Closing, restored to a
condition substantially
-7-
the same as the condition thereof immediately prior to such casualty or
condemnation, and (iii) the Purchaser provides written notice of same to the
Candlewood Parties no later than the Closing Date, time being of the essence,
the Candlewood Parties shall, subject to paragraph (c) below, be required to
permit the Purchaser to acquire all of the Properties other than such Defective
Property or Properties. Promptly upon learning of the same, the Candlewood
Parties covenant and agree to provide the Purchaser with prompt written notice
of any casualty or condemnation affecting any Property.
(c) If the Purchaser timely identifies any Defective Property and the
Purchaser and the Candlewood Parties shall, acting reasonably and in good faith
be unable or unwilling to agree that (x) the Candlewood Parties shall, at their
sole cost, remedy the applicable defect prior to the Closing (in which event the
Candlewood Parties shall have the right to adjourn the Closing Date for up to
ninety (90) days for such purpose), (y) the Purchaser shall, notwithstanding
such defect, acquire the Defective Property subject to a reduction in the
Allocable Purchase Price of the Defective Property sufficient to compensate the
Purchaser for such defect (in which event the Seller shall retain all available
insurance or condemnation proceeds) or (z) on the substitution of another
property owned by the Candlewood Parties for such Defective Property, this
Agreement shall, at the Purchaser's option, terminate with respect to such
Defective Property and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Allocable
Purchase Price of such Defective Property.
2.4 TITLE MATTERS. Prior to the execution of this Agreement, the
Candlewood Parties have ordered from the Title Company and directed the Title
Company promptly to deliver to the Purchaser a preliminary title commitment, for
an ALTA extended owner's policy of title insurance with respect to each of the
Properties, together with complete and legible copies of all instruments and
documents referred to as exceptions to title (collectively, the "Title
Commitments").
Prior to the expiration of the Review Period, the Purchaser shall give
the Candlewood Parties notice of any title exceptions (other than Permitted
Encumbrances) which adversely affect any Property in any material respect and as
to which the Purchaser reasonably objects. If, for any reason, the Candlewood
Parties are unable or unwilling to take such actions as may be required to cause
such exceptions to be removed from the Title
-8-
Commitments, the Candlewood Parties shall give the Purchaser notice thereof; it
being understood and agreed that the failure of the Candlewood Parties to give
such notice within ten (10) Business Days after the Purchaser's notice of
objection shall be deemed an election by the Candlewood Parties not to remedy
such matters. If the Candlewood Parties shall be unable or unwilling to remove
any title defects to which the Purchaser has reasonably objected, the Purchaser
may elect (i) to terminate this Agreement with respect to the affected Property,
in which event, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Allocable Purchase
Price of the affected Properties and this Agreement shall be of no further force
and effect with respect to the affected Properties or (ii) to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby, notwithstanding such title defect, without any
abatement or reduction in the Purchase Price on account thereof. The Purchaser
shall make any such election by written notice to the Candlewood Parties given
on or prior to the fifth Business Day after the Candlewood Parties' notice of
their unwillingness or inability to cure such defect. Failure of the Purchaser
to give such notice shall be deemed an election by the Purchaser to proceed in
accordance with clause (ii) above and such exception shall be deemed a Permitted
Encumbrance.
2.5 SURVEY MATTERS. Prior to the execution of this Agreement, the
Candlewood Parties have arranged for the preparation of an ALTA survey with
respect to each of the Properties (the "Surveys") by a licensed surveyor in the
jurisdiction in which each such Property is located, which (i) contains an
accurate legal description of the applicable Property, (ii) shows the exact
location, dimension and description (including applicable recording information)
of all utilities, easements, encroachments and other physical matters affecting
such Property, the number of striped parking spaces located thereon and all
applicable building set-back lines, (iii) states whether the applicable Property
is located within a 100-year flood plain and (iv) includes a certification in
the form set forth in Schedule C, or such other form as may be acceptable to the
Purchaser, addressed to the Purchaser, the Title Company and any other persons
requested by the Purchaser or designated by the Candlewood Parties.
Within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Surveys, the
Purchaser shall give the Candlewood Parties notice of any matters shown thereon
(other than Permitted Encumbrances) which adversely affect any such Property in
any material respect and as to which the Purchaser reasonably objects. If, for
any
-9-
reason, the Candlewood Parties are unwilling or unable to take such actions as
may be required to remedy the objectionable matters, the Candlewood Parties
shall give the Purchaser prompt notice thereof; it being understood and agreed
that the failure of the Candlewood Parties to give such notice within ten (10)
Business Days after the Purchaser's notice of objection shall be deemed an
election by the Candlewood Parties not to remedy such matters. If the Candlewood
Parties shall be unwilling or unable to remove any survey defect to which the
Purchaser has reasonably objected, the Purchaser may elect (i) to terminate this
Agreement with respect to the affected Property, in which event, the Purchase
Price shall be reduced by the Allocable Purchase Price of the affected
Properties and this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or
effect with respect to the affected Properties or (ii) to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby, notwithstanding such defect, without any
abatement or reduction in the Purchase Price on account thereof. The Purchaser
shall make any such election by written notice to the Candlewood Parties given
on or prior to the fifth Business Day after the Candlewood Parties' notice of
their inability to cure such defect and time shall be of the essence with
respect to the giving of such notice. Failure of the Purchaser to give such
notice shall be deemed an election by the Purchaser to proceed in accordance
with clause (ii) above and such matter shall be deemed a Permitted Encumbrance.
SECTION 3. PURCHASE AND SALE
3.1 CLOSING. The purchase and sale of the Properties shall be
consummated at a closing (the "Closing") to be held at the offices of Xxxxxxxx &
Worcester LLP, Xxx Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx, or at such other

which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
8.3 NOTICE OF MATERIAL CHANGES OR UNTRUE REPRESENTATIONS. Upon learning

agreeing, on learning of any such fact or condition, promptly to notify the
Candlewood Parties thereof).
8.4 FINANCIAL INFORMATION. To provide to the Purchaser, promptly upon
request at the Candlewood Parties' sole cost and expense, such audited and
unaudited financial and other information and certifications of the Candlewood
Parties with respect to the Candlewood Parties and the Properties as the
Purchaser may from time to time reasonably request in order to comply with any
applicable securities laws and/or any rules, regulations or requirements of the
Securities and Exchange Commission and, if required or requested, to permit the
Purchaser to incorporate by reference any information included in filings made
by Candlewood with the Securities and Exchange

provisions herein contained invalid, inoperative or unenforceable to the extent
