In addition, at least five (5) business days prior to Closing, Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing of its proposed further allocation of the Purchase Price among the Real Property and the Intangible Personal Property. Seller and Purchaser agree to use good faith efforts to agree upon such further allocation. If Purchaser and Seller cannot agree upon such further allocation of the Purchase Price, the parties agree to file all transfer tax declarations based on the Purchaser’s determination of the allocations of the Purchase Price, but Seller shall not be required to file income tax returns on Purchaser’s determination of the tax allocation.
2.2. Payment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be paid to Seller in the following manner:
(a) Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the amount of the Deposit.
(b) Purchaser shall pay the balance of the Purchase Price, as adjusted in the manner specified in Article VII and as set forth below, to Seller (or other party designated by Seller) at Closing by making a wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to the account of Seller (or other party designated by Seller). Such wire transfer shall be
7

sent by Purchaser to the Escrow Agent for the account of Seller no later than 1:00 PM, Seattle, Washington time on the Closing Date.
2.3. Deposit. Within one (1) business day after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall deliver to Escrow Agent a wire transfer or cashier’s or certified check in the sum of Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00) (the “Initial Deposit”). If Purchaser fails to timely deposit the Initial Deposit with Escrow Agent, Seller shall be entitled, as Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy, to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Purchaser at any time before the Initial Deposit is delivered to Escrow Agent, in which event neither party shall have any obligations hereunder, except those which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement. The Deposit shall be invested by Escrow Agent in a commercial bank or banks acceptable to Seller and Purchaser at money market rates, or in such other investments as shall be approved in writing by Seller and Purchaser. The Deposit shall be held and disbursed by Escrow Agent in strict accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. All accrued interest or other earnings on the Deposit shall become part of the Deposit. The Deposit shall be either (a) applied at the Closing against the Purchase Price, (b) returned to Purchaser pursuant hereto, or (c) paid to Seller pursuant hereto.
2.4. Study Period. Purchaser shall have the right to perform such examinations, tests, investigations and studies of the Property as Purchaser reasonably deems advisable, subject to the terms of the Inspection Agreement, including, without limitation Section 2(f) of the Inspection Agreement, the terms of which are hereby incorporated by reference and which shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the second sentence of Section 2(b) of the Inspection Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Inspection Agreement, the parties agree that the Inspection Agreement shall remain in effect and shall govern Purchaser’s rights, responsibilities and obligations in connection with Purchaser’s access onto the Property through the earlier of the termination of this Agreement or the Closing Date.
(a) Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser has (i) received a title insurance commitment issued by the Title Company covering the Real Property (the “Title Commitment”) and (ii) ordered an updated survey of the Real Property (the “Survey”). If any matters shown on such Survey (or any update to the Survey) or identified in the Title Commitment consist of Must-Cure Title Encumbrances, then, to that extent, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller shall be obligated to either (i) pay and discharge, (ii) bond against in a manner legally sufficient to cause to be released, or (iii) indemnify or escrow money with or otherwise cause the Title Company to insure over in a manner reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, such Must-Cure Title Encumbrances (individually and collectively, a “Must-Cure Encumbrance Release”). For such purposes, Seller may use all or a portion of the Purchase Price to effectuate a Must-Cure Encumbrance Release with respect to any such Must-Cure Title Encumbrances at the Closing. Other than as specifically required in this Agreement, Seller shall not be obligated to incur any expenses or incur any liability to cure any matters shown on such Survey (or any update to the Survey) or identified in the Title Commitment other than Must-Cure Title Encumbrances. Except as otherwise provided herein, Seller shall not,
8

after the date of this Agreement, voluntarily subject the Real Property to any liens, encumbrances, covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements or other title matters or seek any zoning changes without Purchaser’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that it shall not be considered unreasonable for Purchaser to withhold consent to any lien, encumbrance, covenant, condition, restriction, easement, title matter or zoning change which may have an adverse effect on the Property or the business conducted thereon. All title matters revealed by the Title Commitment and Survey (or any update to the Survey) which are not Must-Cure Title Encumbrances which will be covered by a Must-Cure Encumbrance Release at Closing shall all be deemed Permitted Title Exceptions.
(b) Purchaser shall have the right to obtain an updated Title Commitment prior to Closing (each, a “Title Update”). Purchaser shall have three (3) business days after receipt of any Title Update to notify Seller in writing of any objections Purchaser may have to any exception contained in such Title Update for agreements filed of record or any liens created or becoming effective after the effective date of the initial Title Commitment that are not (i) created by, through or under Purchaser or (ii) relate to any matter previously disclosed by the Survey or initial Title Commitment (“Additional Objections”). If Purchaser notifies Seller in writing of any Additional Objections, Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation (other than with respect to Must-Cure Title Encumbrances which shall be subject to a Must-Cure Encumbrance Release at Closing), to cure such Additional Objections. Within three (3) business days after receipt of Purchaser’s notice of Additional Objections, Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing whether Seller elects to attempt to cure any or all of such Additional Objections. If Seller elects to attempt to cure, Seller shall have the right to attempt to remove, satisfy or cure the same, and for this purpose, Seller shall, at Seller’s election, be entitled to a one-time right to extend the Closing Date for up to thirty (30) days upon written notice to Purchaser in order for Seller to attempt to cure such Additional Objections. If Seller elects not to cure any Additional Objections or if Seller is unable to effect a cure of those Purchaser’s Objections which it elected to cure prior to the Closing Date (or any later date to which the Closing has been adjourned), and so notifies Purchaser in writing, or if Seller fails to respond to Purchaser’s notice within said three (3) business day period, Purchaser may (as its sole and exclusive remedy) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller on or before the Closing Date (as such date may have been extended by Seller as set forth above), in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further obligations hereunder, except those which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement. If applicable, Closing shall be extended to provide Seller and Purchaser with the full response periods provided in this Section 2.10.
(c) Prior to Closing, Purchaser shall use diligent efforts, with Seller’s commercially reasonable assistance, to obtain (i) the written consent of the Manager, if required, to an assignment of the Management Agreement on terms reasonably
9

acceptable to Purchaser, and (ii) an estoppel certificate (or agreed upon form of estoppel certificate) from Manager reasonably acceptable to Purchaser.

7.6. Revenue and Expense Allocations.

Such allocations and adjustments shall be shown on the closing statement (with such supporting documentation as the parties hereto may reasonably require being attached as exhibits to the closing statements) and shall increase or decrease (as the case may be) the cash amount payable by Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof. All prorations shall be made on the basis of the actual number of days in the year and month in which the Closing occurs or in the period of computation.

(d) Utility charges (including, but not limited to, charges for phone service, cable television, gas, water, sewer and electricity).
(e) Municipal or other governmental improvement liens and special assessments, which shall be paid by Seller at Closing where the work has been completed, and which shall be assumed by Purchaser at Closing and paid by Purchaser where the work has been authorized or started, but not completed; provided, however, that if such liens or assessments are payable in installments, the amount of the installment applicable to the period which includes the Closing Date shall be allocated in the same manner as other items of expenses herein; and for all other installments, Seller shall be responsible for the payment of and shall pay such installments relating to periods prior to the Closing Date and Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of and shall pay such installments relating to periods from and after the Closing Date.
(f) License and permit fees, where transferable.
(g) Operating Profit (as defined in the Management Agreement, without duplication of any other proration herein, and the Incentive Management Fee (as defined in the Management Agreement), with the Owner’s First Priority and the Owner’s Second Priority (each as defined in the Management Agreement) being prorated on the basis of the actual number of days in the year in which the Closing occurs) shall be prorated based on the actual Operating Profit generated prior to Closing being allocated to Seller and the actual Operating Profit generated from and after Closing being allocated to Purchaser, and any insurance premiums required to be reimbursed or paid to Manager.
(h) All other revenues and expenses of the Property, including, but not limited to, such things as restaurant, bar and meeting room income and expenses and the like.

At Closing, Seller shall sell to Purchaser in connection with the Hotel, and Purchaser shall purchase from Seller, in addition to the Purchase Price: (i) all cash funds in the Capital Expenditure Reserve Account for face value and all cash on hand or on deposit in any house bank at the Hotel, and any other cash funds held by Manager, whether in reserves or that relate to accrued
26

expenses or otherwise, that are retained by Manager for the benefit of the Property; (ii) the so-called “guest ledger” as mutually approved by Purchaser and Seller or Operating Lessee for the Hotel of guest accounts receivable payable to the Hotel less actual collection costs (i.e. fees retained by credit card companies) as of the check-out time for the Hotel on the Closing Date (based on guests and customers then using the Hotel) both (1) in occupancy from the preceding night through check out time the morning of the Closing Date, and (2) previously in occupancy prior to check out time on the Closing Date, less accounting charges for rooms furnished on a gratuity or complimentary basis to any hotel staff or as an accommodation to other parties and less Purchaser’s one-half (1/2) share of the Rooms Ledger; and (iii) any accounts receivable for the Hotel (other than the Rooms Ledger) in an amount equal to (1) one hundred percent (100%) of the amount of those receivables which are aged thirty (30) days or less as of the Closing Date, plus (2) seventy-five percent (75%) of those Receivables aged thirty-one to sixty (31-60) days as of the Closing Date, plus (3) zero percent (0%) of those receivables aged greater than sixty (60) days as of the Closing Date. For purposes of this Agreement, transfer or sale at face value for cash and cash reserve amounts shall mean an amount equal to the total of all cash funds and cash reserve amounts that are transferred to Purchaser (or retained by Manager for the benefit of the Property). The purchase price of said petty cash fund and guest ledger shall be paid to Seller at Closing by a credit to Seller in the computation of the adjustments and prorations on the Closing Date.
Seller shall be solely responsible and liable for payment of all costs and expenses associated with accrued but unpaid salary, wages and bonuses, accrued but unpaid profit sharing and pension, retirement, health and welfare benefits, accrued but unpaid fringe benefits, accrued but unpaid employee severance payments, and other accrued but unpaid compensation and fringe benefits, earned vacation pay, and all accrued and/or earned sick leave and there shall be a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the amount of any such amounts that are accrued and/or earned, but unpaid, as of the Closing Date. To the extent that Hotel Employees have, as of the Closing Date, any accrued but unused vacation days, holidays, sick leave, personal days and any other form of paid time off or leave (whether under the Management Agreement or otherwise) or will be entitled to an annual or other bonus at the end of the annual or other period in which the Closing Date occurs, (i) there shall be a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the amount of the value of any such days or time (and the anticipated amounts of any such bonuses based on budgeted performance as of the Closing Date, if applicable, to the extent attributable to the period prior to the Closing Date, such bonuses to be trued-up during the post-Closing prorations reconciliation period based on actual performance), and (ii) Purchaser shall be solely responsible and liable for payment of all such amounts to the extent of such credit.
Seller shall be required to pay or cause to be paid all retail sales (as distinguished from any tax on the sale of any personal property effected pursuant to this Agreement), occupancy and liquor taxes and like impositions up to but not including the Closing Date. Any such taxes applicable to the Rooms Ledger shall be apportioned equally between Seller and Purchaser.
Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for the value equivalent to seventy-five percent (75%) of all outstanding: (i) gift certificates, vouchers, donations and other similar obligations which
27

have been issued by Seller or Manager, (ii) trade credits, trade-out or barter arrangements payable by Seller to any other party for services rendered in the past or to be rendered in the future, in each case which may be used in full or partial payment for any Hotel service, including room rentals, food and beverage service, or any other item.
If accurate allocations cannot be made at Closing because current bills are not obtainable (as, for example, in the case of utility bills and/or real estate or personal property taxes) or obligations are subject to future reconciliation (as, for example, in the case of the Incentive Management Fee), the parties shall allocate such revenue or expenses at Closing on the best available information, subject to adjustment upon receipt of the final bill or other evidence of the applicable revenue or expense (which, in the case of the Incentive Management Fee shall be the Annual Operating Statement (as defined in the Management Agreement) with respect to the Fiscal Year (as defined in the Management Agreement) in which the Closing occurs). The obligation to make the adjustment shall survive the closing of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Any revenue received or expense incurred by Seller or by Purchaser with respect to the Property after the date of Closing shall be promptly allocated in the manner described herein and the parties shall promptly pay or reimburse any amount due. The Closing adjustments and prorations, as provided for in this Section 7.6, shall be tentatively determined by Seller and Purchaser as of the Cut-Off Time and payment of the net figure resulting therefrom shall be paid by adjusting the Purchase Price, except as otherwise provided herein. Seller shall prepare a draft prorations schedule to be delivered to Purchaser no later than five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date and the Closing shall occur and a preliminary closing statement shall be signed by Seller and Purchaser.
Except for prorations for real estate taxes and other assessments (which shall be adjusted within thirty (30) days of receipt of the tax bill for the tax year in which the Closing occurs); prorations for the Incentive Management Fee (which shall be adjusted within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Annual Operating Statement), and amounts of accrued bonus and other compensation which are typically paid at year-end (which shall be adjusted within thirty (30) days after they are actually paid), Purchaser and Seller shall make a one-time post-Closing adjustment of any item of income and expense subject to adjustment as provided above which was either incomplete or incorrect (whether as a result of an error in calculation or a lack of complete and accurate information) as of the Closing. Purchaser will prepare and deliver to Seller for its review and approval a statement of prorations (the “Final Statement”) within one hundred twenty (120) days following the Closing Date, and the party in whose favor the original incorrect adjustment or error was made (“Adjusting Party”) shall pay to the other party (“Requesting Party”) the sum necessary to correct such prior incorrect adjustment or error within ten (10) business days after completion of the Final Statement. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all items required to be adjusted pursuant to this Section 7.6 shall be adjusted within one hundred and twenty (120) days of Closing (except real estate taxes, the Incentive Management Fee, and accrued bonuses and other year-end compensation, which shall be re-adjusted within the periods set forth above), and such adjustment shall be final and no further adjustment to the prorations or the Purchase Price shall be made; provided that if such amounts or issues are not fully agreed upon and paid within one hundred twenty (120) days after the
28

Closing, then, in such event, such amounts or issues shall be submitted to an independent certified public accountant with a hospitality practice reasonably acceptable to Seller and Purchaser, for final resolution, and Seller and Purchaser agree to be bound by the determination of such accountant. The costs and expenses incurred in connection with the services of such accountant shall be borne and paid equally by Purchaser and Seller. The provisions of this Section 7.6 shall survive the Closing.
7.7. Safe Deposit Boxes. On the Closing Date, Seller shall cause Manager to make available to Purchaser at the Hotel all receipts and agreements in Manager’s possession relating to all safe deposit boxes in use at the Hotel, other than safes or lockboxes, if any, located inside individual guest rooms in the Hotel. From and after the Closing, Seller and Manager shall be relieved of any and all responsibility in connection with each said box, and Purchaser shall indemnify Seller, Manager and any Affiliate thereof and hold them harmless from and against any claim, liability, cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by them with respect thereto. Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from any other liability, claim, cost or expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees) with respect to such safety deposit box arising prior to the Closing Date. The provisions of this Section 7.7 shall survive the Closing.
1.1. Inventory of Baggage. The representatives of Seller and/or Manager, and of Purchaser shall prepare an inventory of baggage at the Hotel as of 12:00 noon on the Closing Date (which inventory of baggage shall be binding on all parties thereto) of (i) all luggage, valises and trunks checked or left in the care of the Hotel by guests then or formerly in the Hotel, (ii) parcels, laundry, valet packages and other property of guests checked or left in the care of the Hotel by guests then or formerly in the Hotel (excluding, however, property in Hotel safe deposit boxes), (iii) all luggage or other property of guests retained by Seller as security for any unpaid accounts receivable, and (iv) all items contained in the Hotel lost and found. Purchaser shall be responsible from and after the Closing Date for all baggage and other items listed in such inventory of baggage, and Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller, Manager and any Affiliate thereof harmless from and against any claim, liability, cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by them with respect thereto. Seller hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from any other liability or claims with respect to such inventory of baggage arising prior to the Closing Date. The provisions of this Section 7.8 shall survive the Closing.
1.2. Acquisition and Payment for Inventory. Seller agrees to sell to Purchaser and Purchaser agrees to purchase from Seller the Inventory as part of the Property with no adjustment to the Purchase Price.
1.3. Assumption of Liabilities. At Closing, Purchaser shall assume all (i) obligations which Purchaser expressly assumes under this Agreement, (ii) Advance Bookings, (iii) liabilities for which Purchaser receives a credit to the Purchase Price on the closing statement or pursuant to any post-closing adjustments, and (iv) obligations under Permitted Title Exceptions which accrue to the period from and after the Closing Date, or which accrue to the period prior to the
29

Closing Date but only to the extent to which Purchaser receives a credit to the Purchase Price on the closing statement or pursuant to any post-closing adjustments (collectively, the “Assumed Liabilities”). The provisions of this Section 7.10 shall survive the Closing.
ARTICLE II.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
2.1. Fire or Other Casualty. Seller agrees to give Purchaser prompt notice of any fire or other casualty to the Property costing more than Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) to repair and occurring between the Effective Date and the Closing Date of which Seller has knowledge. If, prior to Closing, the Property is damaged by fire or other casualty which is fully insured (without regard to deductibles) and would cost not more than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) and require less than 120 days to repair, then neither party shall have the right to terminate its obligations under this Agreement to purchase or sell the Property by reason thereof and the Closing shall take place without abatement of the Purchase Price, but Seller shall assign to Purchaser at the Closing all of Seller’s interest in any insurance proceeds (except use and occupancy insurance, rent loss and business interruption insurance, and any similar insurance for the period preceding the Closing Date) that may be payable to Seller on account of any such fire or other casualty, to the extent such proceeds have not been previously expended or are otherwise required to reimburse Seller for actual expenditures of restoration, plus Seller shall credit the amount of any deductibles under any policies related to such proceeds to the Purchase Price. If any such damage due to fire or other casualty is insured and would cost in excess of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) or require more than 120 days to repair, then Purchaser may terminate its obligations under this Agreement to purchase the Property by written notice given to Seller within ten (10) days after Seller has given Purchaser the notice of damage or casualty referred to in this Section 8.1, or on the Closing Date, whichever is earlier, in which case the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser and the parties hereto shall be released of all further obligations hereunder with respect to the Property except those which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement. Should Purchaser elect to proceed to Closing notwithstanding the amount of the insured loss or the time required for repairs, the Closing shall take place without abatement of the Purchase Price and at Closing Seller shall assign to Purchaser the insurance proceeds and grant to Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the amount of the applicable deductible. If, prior to Closing, any Property is damaged by fire or other casualty which is uninsured, then Purchaser may terminate its obligations under this Agreement to purchase the Property by written notice given to the Seller within ten (10) days after Seller has given Purchaser the notice of damage or casualty or on the Closing Date, whichever is earlier, in which case the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser and the parties hereto shall be released of all further obligations hereunder, except those which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the estimated amount to repair such uninsured casualty is not more than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), Seller, at its option, may elect to provide Purchaser with a credit to the Purchase Price at Closing for the estimated amount to repair such casualty, in which event Purchaser shall proceed to Closing and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the estimated amount to repair such casualty. If Purchaser does not elect to terminate its obligations under this
30

Agreement with respect to an uninsured casualty as aforesaid, or if any uninsured fire or casualty would cost not more than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) to repair, then the Closing shall take place as provided herein, and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the estimated amount to repair such casualty, not to exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). All estimates made pursuant to this Section shall be made by a professional engineer selected by Purchaser in its reasonable discretion.
2.2. Condemnation. After the Effective Date, Seller agrees to give Purchaser prompt notice of any notice it receives of any taking or threat of taking by condemnation of any part of or rights appurtenant to the Real Property. If such taking will materially interfere with the operation or use of the Hotel which constitutes a part of such Real Property, the Purchaser may terminate its obligations under this Agreement to purchase the Property by written notice to Seller within ten (10) days after Seller has given Purchaser the notice of taking referred to in this Section 8.2, or on the Closing Date, whichever is earlier. For purposes of this Section 8.2, a taking will materially interfere with the operation or use of the Hotel if it leaves remaining a balance of the Real Property in a condition which, in Purchaser’s sole reasonable discretion, may not reasonably be anticipated to be economically operated for the purposes and in the manner in which the Real Property was operated prior to such taking. If Purchaser exercises its option to terminate its obligations to purchase the Property pursuant to this Section 8.2, the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser and the parties hereto shall be released from all further obligations hereunder with respect to the Property, except those which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement. If Purchaser does not so elect to terminate its obligations to purchase the Property, then the Closing shall take place as provided herein, and Seller shall assign to Purchaser at the Closing all of Seller’s interest in any condemnation award or payments in lieu of condemnation which may be payable to Seller on account of any such condemnation or threat thereof and, at Closing, Seller shall credit to the amount of the Purchase Price payable by Purchaser the amount, if any, of condemnation proceeds or payments in lieu of condemnation received by Seller between the Effective Date and Closing less (i) any amounts reasonably expended by Seller or Manager in collecting such sums, (ii) any amounts reasonably used by Seller or Manager to repair the Property as a result of such condemnation, and (iii) any amounts which are reasonably allocated to lost earnings or other damages or losses (other than unrepaired property damages) reasonably allocated or attributed to the period of time prior to Closing. If, prior to the Closing, there shall occur a taking by condemnation of any part of or rights appurtenant to the Property that does not materially interfere with the operation or use of the Hotel which constitutes a part of the Property, Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate its obligations to purchase the Property under this Agreement by reason thereof and the Closing shall take place without abatement of the Purchase Price, but Seller shall assign to Purchaser at the Closing all of Seller’s interest in any condemnation award or payments in lieu of condemnation which may be payable to Seller on account of any such condemnation or threat thereof and, at Closing, Seller shall credit to the amount of the Purchase Price payable by Purchaser the amount, if any, of condemnation proceeds or payments in lieu of condemnation received by Seller between the Effective Date and Closing less (i) any amounts reasonably expended by Seller or Manager in collecting such sums, (ii) any amounts reasonably used by Seller or Manager to repair the Property as a result of such condemnation, and (iii) any amounts
31

which are reasonably allocated to lost earnings or other damages or losses (other than unrepaired property damages) reasonably allocated or attributed to the period of time prior to Closing. Provided Purchaser has not exercised its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.2, Seller shall notify Purchaser in advance regarding any proceeding or negotiation with respect to the condemnation and Purchaser shall have a reasonable right, at its own cost and expense, to appear and participate in any such proceeding or negotiation. For purposes of Sections 8.1 and 8.2 of this Agreement, estimates of costs and time required for restoration or repair shall be made by an architect or engineer, as appropriate, designated by Seller and reasonably acceptable to Purchaser.
2.3. Broker. The parties acknowledge that Broker has been the procuring cause of this Agreement. It shall be the obligation of Seller to pay Broker its commission, when, as and if, and only if, the transaction contemplated hereby actually closes, in accordance with a separate agreement between the Broker and Seller. There is no other real estate broker involved in this transaction. Purchaser warrants and represents to Seller that Purchaser has not dealt with any other real estate broker in connection with this transaction, nor has Purchaser been introduced to the Property or to Seller by any other real estate broker, and Purchaser shall indemnify Seller and hold Seller harmless from and against any claims, suits, demands or liabilities of any kind or nature whatsoever arising on account of the claim of any other person, firm or corporation to a real estate brokerage commission or a finder’s fee as a result of having dealt with Purchaser, or as a result of having introduced Purchaser to Seller or to the Property. In like manner, Seller warrants and represents to Purchaser that Seller has not dealt with any other real estate broker in connection with this transaction, nor has Seller been introduced to Purchaser by any other real estate broker, and Seller shall indemnify Purchaser and save and hold Purchaser harmless from and against any claims, suits, demands or liabilities of any kind or nature whatsoever arising on account of the claim of any person, firm or corporation to a real estate brokerage commission or a finder’s fee as a result of having dealt with Seller in connection with this transaction. The provisions of this Section 8.3 shall survive the Closing and any termination of this Agreement.
2.4. Bulk Sale. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that they do not intend to comply with and have agreed to waive the provisions of any statutory bulk sale or similar requirements applicable to the transaction to be effected by this Agreement.
2.5. Confidentiality. Except as hereinafter provided, Purchaser and Seller and their Affiliates shall keep the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement and all documents or information disclosed to or made available to or discovered by each party in connection with this Agreement (including, without limitation, information in the Data Site) confidential and such information shall be used solely for the purpose of evaluating or effecting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and neither Purchaser nor Seller shall make any public announcements hereof unless and until the Closing occurs unless the other first reasonably approves of same in writing, nor shall either disclose unless and until the Closing occurs the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement or such other documents or information, except to persons who, in the reasonable business judgment of Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, “need to know” for the purpose of evaluating or effecting the transactions contemplated by this
32

Agreement, and who are instructed to keep such information confidential, such as their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, accountants, engineers, surveyors, consultants, financiers, partners, investors, potential lessees and bankers and such other third parties whose assistance is required in connection with the consummation of this transaction (collectively, “Representatives”); provided, however, that information or documents shall not be subject to the provisions of this Section 8.5 if, not otherwise in violation of this Section 8.5, such information or documents, (i) were or become(s) generally available to the public, or (ii) were or become(s) available to Purchaser or its Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Seller or its Affiliates or Manager. Upon full execution of this Agreement and if the Closing occurs, the parties may either make a joint press release, or each party may make an individual press release. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is acknowledged that Seller is, or is an Affiliate of, a REIT, and the REIT has and will seek to sell shares to the general public; consequently, Seller shall have the absolute and unbridled right to disclose any information regarding the Transaction required by law or as determined to be necessary or appropriate by Seller or Seller’s attorneys to satisfy disclosure and reporting obligations of Seller or its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller may make a press release or file with the United States Securities Exchange Commission information regarding the Transaction. Seller and Purchaser and their Representatives are cautioned that United States securities laws restrict the purchase and sale of securities by anyone who possesses non-public information about the issue of such securities. Accordingly, neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates nor its Representatives may buy or sell any of the securities of the Seller or any of its Affiliates so long as any of them is in possession of any material non-public information about the Seller or any of its Affiliates, including information contained in or derived from confidential information. The terms of this Section 8.5 shall supersede any prior confidentiality agreements executed by Seller, Purchaser, or any of their respective Affiliates, parents, or subsidiaries, to the extent such confidentiality agreements relate or refer, directly or indirectly, to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 8.5 relating to press releases shall survive the Closing and all the provisions of this Section 8.5 shall survive a termination of this Agreement for a period of one (1) year after such termination; provided, however, that any liabilities or obligations of either Seller, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates, parents, or subsidiaries that may have accrued or arisen under any confidentiality agreements prior to the Effective Date shall survive such confidentiality agreements being superseded hereby.
If either Seller or Purchaser or any of their Affiliates or any of their Representatives is required by any subpoena, interrogatories, request for production, or other legal process or by any Applicable Laws, or if it is determined to be necessary or appropriate by Seller or Seller’s attorneys to satisfy disclosure and reporting obligations of Seller or its Affiliates, to disclose any confidential information, Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, will give the other party prompt written notice of the requirement and will cooperate with the other party so that the other party, at its expense, may seek an appropriate protective order. In the absence of a protective order, the party required to disclose, including any Representatives, may disclose only such confidential information as may be necessary to avoid any penalty, sanction, or other material adverse consequence, and the party required to disclose will use reasonable efforts to secure confidential treatment of any confidential information so disclosed.
33

Seller and Purchaser stipulate that the breach of the provisions of this Section 8.5 by the other party or its respective Affiliates or Representatives may cause irreparable harm to the non-breaching party for which damages may not constitute an adequate remedy. Accordingly, the parties agree that any attempted, threatened, or actual breach of the provisions of this Section 8.5 by one party or its Affiliates or Representatives may be enjoined by an appropriate court order or judgment. The parties waive any requirement for the posting of a bond or other security as a condition to such court order or judgment. Injunctive relief will not be the sole remedy of the non-breaching party for a breach of the provisions of this Section 8.5, and all legal and equitable remedies will continue to be available to the non-breaching party. If the non-breaching party is the prevailing party in any litigation relating to the breach of the provisions of this Section 8.5 by the other party or its Affiliates or Representatives, the non-breaching party will be entitled to recover (in addition to any damages or other relief granted) its reasonable legal fees and other expenses in connection with such litigation.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in any other agreement to which the parties hereto are parties or by which they are bound, any and all obligations of confidentiality contained herein and therein (the “Confidentiality Obligations”), as they relate to the transactions and events contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “Transaction”), shall not apply to the “structure or tax aspects” (as that phrase is used in Section 1.6011-4T(b)(3) or any successor provision of the Treasury Regulations (the “Confidentiality Regulation”) promulgated under Section 6011 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) of the Transaction; provided, however, that the Confidentiality Obligations nevertheless shall apply at a given time to any and all items of information not required to be freely disclosable at such time in order for the Transaction not to be treated as “offered under conditions of confidentiality” within the meaning of the Confidentiality Regulation.
2.6. Liquor Licenses. To the extent permitted by law, Seller shall transfer or cause to be transferred to Purchaser or its designee all alcoholic beverage licenses which are in their respective names and which are necessary to operate the restaurant, bars and lounges presently located within the Hotel (and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or elsewhere, to the extent that applicable laws prohibit the transfer of any portion of Inventory connected with the same, then Purchaser or its designee shall still be required to acquire the Inventory, but the transfer of Inventory shall be appropriately limited or reduced as necessary to comply with such applicable laws without otherwise delaying Closing or reducing the Purchase Price, and such matters shall in no event constitute any breach or default by Seller or any failure of a condition hereunder). Seller (and its Affiliates) and Purchaser shall cooperate each with the other, and each shall execute or cause to be executed such transfer forms, license applications and other documents as may be necessary to effect such transfers and/or to permit Purchaser to obtain new alcoholic beverage licenses. If permitted under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Hotel is located, such parties shall execute or cause to be executed and file all necessary transfer forms, applications and papers with the appropriate alcoholic beverage authorities prior to Closing, to the end that the transfer of the existing licenses (and/or such related Inventory) or Purchaser’s obtaining new licenses shall take effect, if possible, on the Closing Date, simultaneously with Closing. If not so permitted, then the parties agree each with the other that they will promptly
34

execute or cause to be executed all transfer forms, applications and other documents required by the liquor authorities in order to effect such transfer or issuance of new licenses at the earliest date in time possible consistent with the laws of the State where the Property is located, in order that all existing alcoholic beverage licenses (and/or such related Inventory) may be transferred or new alcoholic beverage licenses issued to Purchaser or its designee at the earliest possible time. If upon Closing the existing liquor license has not been transferred to Purchaser or Purchaser’s nominee or, despite commercially reasonable good faith efforts by Purchaser, a new liquor license has not been issued to Purchaser or Purchaser’s nominee, then, subject to Applicable Laws, Seller shall (not to include by Seller the expenditure of any money or guaranty of any obligation) cause the holder of the existing liquor license (the “Existing Permittee”) to enter into an interim liquor agreement (an “Interim Liquor Agreement”) or any other such license agreements, management agreements and/or other interim agreements, with Purchaser or Purchaser’s designee as may be reasonably necessary for the continuation of the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages at the Hotel after the Closing and before such time as an Affiliate or designee of Purchaser (the “New Permittee”) obtains permits (the “New Liquor Permits”) relating to the sale and on-premises consumption of liquor and other alcoholic beverages to replace the existing liquor license; provided, however, that (i) Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller and Existing Permittee harmless from any liability, damages (except punitive damages), costs, expenses or claims encountered in connection with such operations during said period of time, except to the extent caused by Seller’s or Existing Permittee’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct, and Purchaser shall procure and pay for dram shop liability insurance (in amounts and with deductibles as previously maintained by Seller) naming Purchaser and Seller and Existing Permittee as insureds thereunder, and (ii) the obligation of Seller to cooperate and keep open the liquor facilities of the Hotel shall terminate one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, or earlier, if Purchaser obtains the New Liquor Permits at an earlier date. At such time after Closing as the New Liquor Permits are obtained, Existing Permittee or Seller, as applicable, will convey, at no additional costs, all alcoholic beverages to New Permittee by a conveyance document in form reasonably acceptable to Seller and Purchaser and in accordance with the requirements of the Applicable Laws. Seller and Purchaser shall use good faith efforts to agree on the form of the Interim Liquor Agreement at least five (5) days prior to the Closing Date. This Section 8.6 shall survive the Closing.
2.7. Management Agreement. Within five (5) business days after the Effective Date Seller will notify Manager of the sale of the Property to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement. Purchaser shall provide to Manager all of the information requested by Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement relating to the proposed sale of the Property, which Purchaser shall promptly submit to Manager. At Closing Purchaser shall assume the obligations, to the extent first arising from and after the Closing, of Seller and any of their Affiliates, as applicable, under the Management Agreement, or any guarantee thereof. Purchaser agrees to indemnify, and hold Seller and their Affiliates harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, penalties, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) that may at any time be incurred by Seller or any of their Affiliates arising out of, by reason of, or in connection with any obligation of, or default by, Purchaser under the Management Agreement which first occurs, accrues or arises on or after the Closing Date. Seller agrees to indemnify, and hold
35

Purchaser and its Affiliates harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, penalties, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) that may at any time be incurred by Purchaser or its Affiliates arising out of, by reason of, or in connection with any obligation of or default by Seller or any of their Affiliates under the Management Agreement which occurs, accrues or arises prior to the Closing Date. The obligations of Purchaser and Seller contained in this Section 8.7 shall survive Closing.
ARTICLE III.
DEFAULT; TERMINATION RIGHTS
3.1. Default by Seller/Failure of Conditions Precedent. If (i) any condition set forth herein for the benefit of Purchaser cannot or will not be satisfied prior to Closing (unless the failure to satisfy such condition is caused by the default of Purchaser or its Affiliates under this Agreement, or is otherwise within the reasonable control of Purchaser or its Affiliates), or (ii) Seller breaches any of its covenants, representations, and/or warranties set forth in this Agreement, and, if curable, if Seller fails to cure any such matter or satisfy such condition within ten (10) calendar days after written notice thereof from Purchaser (or such other time period as may be explicitly provided for herein), (which ten (10) calendar day or other such time periods shall, if necessary, automatically extend the Closing Date to the expiration date of such ten (10) calendar day or other such time period), or upon the occurrence of any other event that would entitle Purchaser to terminate this Agreement and its obligations hereunder, unless otherwise provided for in this Agreement, Purchaser, as its sole and exclusive remedy shall elect either (a) to terminate this Agreement, in which event (i) the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser and Purchaser shall retain its right to enforce the indemnities and other provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement, provided that, if such termination is due to Seller defaulting in any material respect (after notice and expiration of cure periods provided above) under any of Seller’s obligations in this Agreement, Purchaser shall be entitled to reimbursement by Seller of the actual third party out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with entering into this Agreement, inspecting the Property and preparing for Closing, including, without limitation, Purchaser’s reasonable attorney fees incurred in connection therewith, such reimbursement not to exceed One Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($150,000.00) in the aggregate, or if such default is in Seller’s obligation to execute and deliver the documents required of Seller pursuant to Section 7.2 of this Agreement, such that Closing does not occur, such reimbursement (without duplication) shall not exceed Three Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($350,000.00) in the aggregate, and (ii) all other rights and obligations of Seller and Purchaser hereunder (except those set forth herein which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement) shall terminate immediately; or (b) to waive such matter or condition and proceed to Closing with no reduction in the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if, at the Closing, Seller fails to comply in any material respect with any of its obligations contained in Section 7.2 or 7.4 (the “Closing Obligations”), and if all conditions precedent to Seller’s obligations hereunder have been waived or satisfied, Purchaser shall have, in addition to Purchaser’s remedies contained in the preceding sentence, the option to waive all other actions, rights, or claims for damages for the failure to perform such Closing Obligations (other than costs and expenses incurred in enforcing this
36

Agreement and its right to enforce the indemnities and other provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement or Closing), and to bring an equitable action to enforce the Closing Obligations; provided, (i) Purchaser shall provide written notice of Purchaser’s intention to enforce the Closing Obligations by specific performance and Seller shall not have cured performance of the Closing Obligations within ten (10) calendar days following delivery of such notice, and (ii) Purchaser’s suit for specific performance shall be filed against Seller in a court having jurisdiction in the county and state in which the Property is located, on or before ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, failing which, Purchaser shall be barred from enforcing this Agreement by specific performance and shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement as provided herein. The provisions of this Section 9.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
3.2. Default by Purchaser/Failure of Conditions Precedent. If any condition set forth herein for the benefit of Seller (other than a default by Purchaser) cannot or will not be satisfied prior to Closing, and if Purchaser fails to satisfy that condition within ten (10) business days after notice thereof from Seller, unless otherwise provided for in this Agreement, Seller, as its sole and exclusive remedy, shall elect either (a) to terminate this Agreement in which event the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser and the parties hereto shall be released from all further obligations hereunder except those which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement, or (b) to waive its right to terminate, and instead, to proceed to Closing. If Purchaser defaults in performing any of its obligations under this Agreement, and Purchaser fails to cure any such default within the earlier of (i) the Closing, or (ii) ten (10) business days after notice thereof from Seller, then Seller’s sole remedy for such default shall be to terminate this Agreement and receive the Deposit and to retain its right to enforce the indemnities and other provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be entitled to any notice and right to cure in the event it wrongfully fails to proceed to Closing as required by this Agreement. Seller and Purchaser agree that, in the event of such a default, the damages that Seller would sustain as a result thereof would be difficult if not impossible to ascertain. Therefore, Seller and Purchaser agree that, Seller shall receive the Deposit and retain the right to enforce the indemnities and other provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement, as full and complete liquidated damages and as Seller’s sole remedy. The provisions of this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
3.3. Costs and Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any litigation or dispute between the parties arising out of or in any way connected with this Agreement, resulting in any litigation, then the prevailing party in such litigation shall be entitled to recover its costs of prosecuting and/or defending same, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees at trial and all appellate levels. The provisions of this Section 9.3 shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.
3.4. Limitation of Liability. The liability of each party hereto resulting from the breach or default by such party shall be limited to direct actual damages incurred by the injured party and each party hereto hereby waives its rights to recover from the other party
37

consequential, punitive, exemplary, and speculative damages. The provisions of this Section 9.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 9.4 shall not limit or affect the rights of Seller to receive the Deposit as liquidated damages as and when provided in this Agreement.
3.5. Indemnification of Purchaser. From and after Closing, Seller shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Purchaser from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action, liabilities, judgments, losses, damages, costs and expenses of any kind whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Claims”) arising out of, or in any way relating to the business or operation of the Property prior to Closing (but excluding liabilities related to the physical and/or environmental conditions of the Property and/or the compliance (or lack of compliance) of the Property with Applicable Laws, including any expired Authorizations), such obligations to survive Closing; provided, however, that this indemnity shall expressly exclude all liabilities for payment of obligations first arising or accruing prior to the Closing Date to the extent that Purchaser has assumed such obligations or receives a credit therefor pursuant to this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 9.5 shall survive the Closing.
3.6. Indemnification of Seller. From and after Closing, Purchaser shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Seller from and against any and all such Claims resulting from or arising out, or in any way relating to the business or operation of the Property from and after Closing, such obligations to survive Closing. The provisions of this Section 9.6 will survive the Closing Date.

4.10. Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent referred to in the definition thereof contained in Section 1.1 hereof has agreed to act as such for the convenience of the parties without fee or other charges for such services as Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent shall not be liable: (a) to any of the parties for any act or omission to act except for its own willful misconduct; (b) for any legal effect, insufficiency, or undesirability of any instrument deposited with or delivered by Escrow Agent or exchanged by the parties hereunder, whether or not Escrow Agent prepared such instrument; (c) for any loss or impairment of funds that have been deposited in escrow while those funds are in the course of collection, or while those funds are on deposit in a financial institution, if such loss or impairment results from the failure, insolvency or suspension of a financial institution; (d) for the expiration of any time limit or other consequence of delay, unless a properly executed written instruction, accepted by Escrow Agent, has instructed Escrow Agent to comply with said time limit; (e) for the default, error, action or omission of either party to the escrow. Escrow Agent, in its capacity as escrow agent, shall be entitled to rely on any document or paper received by it, believed by such Escrow Agent, in good faith, to be bona fide and genuine. In the event of any dispute as to the disposition of the Deposit or any other monies held in escrow, or of any documents held in escrow, Escrow Agent may continue to hold the Deposit pursuant to the terms hereof, or if Escrow Agent so elects, interplead the matter at the joint and several cost of Purchaser and Seller by filing an interpleader action in a court of general jurisdiction in the county or circuit where the Real Property is located (to the jurisdiction of which both parties do hereby consent), and pay into the registry of the court the Deposit, or deposit any such documents with respect to which there is a dispute in the Registry of such court, whereupon such Escrow Agent shall be relieved and released from any further liability as Escrow Agent hereunder. Escrow Agent shall not be liable for Escrow Agent’s compliance with any legal process, subpoena, writ, order, judgment and decree of any court, whether issued with or without jurisdiction, and whether or not subsequently vacated, modified, set aside or reversed. Purchaser and Seller agree to jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Escrow Agent from and against any loss, cost, damage, expense and attorney’s fee in connection
41

with or in any way arising out of the escrow arrangement, other than expenses resulting from the Escrow Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
4.11. Incorporation by Reference. All of the exhibits and schedules attached hereto are by this reference incorporated herein and made a part hereof.
4.12. Survival. Except to the extent (i) that Seller gives Purchaser written notice prior to Closing of the untruth or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained herein, (ii) Purchaser otherwise obtains actual knowledge prior to Closing of the untruth or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained herein, or (iii) of a Non-Breach Inaccuracy, and Purchaser nevertheless elects to close this transaction, the representations and warranties made herein shall survive the Closing through but not beyond the Limitation Date (as hereinafter defined) after which such representations and warranties shall merge into the Closing Documents, provided that the aforesaid limitation shall not apply to the prosecution of any Claim made and action commenced in accordance with the other provisions of this Section 10.12 prior to the Limitation Date. Subject to the foregoing limitations, the representations, warranties, indemnities and agreements of Seller set forth in this Agreement and the Closing Documents shall survive for nine (9) months after the Closing (the “Limitation Date”). Seller and Purchaser hereby agree that, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any provision of law to the contrary, any action which may be brought for the untruth or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty by Seller in this Agreement or in any of the Closing Documents (other than the Deed) (a “Claim”) shall be forever barred unless, (a) no later than the Limitation Date, Purchaser delivers to Seller a written notice of the Claim setting forth the basis for such Claim, and (b) no later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the Limitation Date, files a complaint or petition against Seller alleging such Claim in an appropriate Federal district or state court and serves the same upon Seller, in which case the Limitation Date, as to such breach, shall be extended pending resolution of such complaint or petition. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Claim for the untruth or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty that Purchaser may have at any time against Seller will not be valid or effective, and Seller shall have no liability with respect thereto, unless all valid Claims exceed Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) in the aggregate; provided, that once such Claims meet the foregoing threshold Purchaser shall be entitled to recover all such Claims from “dollar one.” Seller’s liability for damages resulting from valid Claims for the untruth or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty by Seller shall in no event exceed three percent (3%) of the Purchase Price in the aggregate.
4.13. Further Assurances. Seller and Purchaser each covenant and agree to sign, execute and deliver, or cause to be signed, executed and delivered, and to do or make, or cause to be done or made, upon the written request of the other party, any and all agreements, instruments, papers, deeds, acts or things, supplemental, confirmatory or otherwise, as may be reasonably required by either party hereto for the purpose of or in connection with consummating the transactions described herein provided that compliance with the provision of this Section 10.13 shall not increase the liability of the complying party.
42

4.14. No Partnership. This Agreement does not and shall not be construed to create a partnership, joint venture or any other relationship between the parties hereto except the relationship of seller and purchaser specifically established hereby.
4.15. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to every provision hereof.
4.16. Signatory Exculpation. The signatory(ies) for Purchaser and Seller is/are executing this Agreement in his/their capacity as representative of such party and not individually and, therefore, shall have no personal or individual liability of any kind in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by it.
4.17. Rules of Construction. The following rules shall apply to the construction and interpretation of this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated by the context:
(a) Singular words shall connote the plural number as well as the singular and vice versa, and the masculine shall include the feminine and the neuter.
(b) All references herein to particular articles, sections, subsections, clauses or exhibits are references to articles, sections, subsections, clauses or exhibits of this Agreement.
(c) The table of contents and headings contained herein are solely for convenience of reference and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement nor shall they affect its meaning, construction or effect.
(d) Each party hereto and its counsel have reviewed and revised (or requested revisions of) this Agreement and have participated in the preparation of this Agreement, and therefore any usual rules of construction requiring that ambiguities are to be resolved against a particular party shall not be applicable in the construction and interpretation of this Agreement or any exhibits hereto.
(e) Except as expressly noted herein to the contrary, time periods herein referred to shall mean the time periods as in effect, from time to time, in Seattle, Washington.
4.18. No Recording. Neither this Agreement nor any memorandum hereof, or any other instrument intended to give notice hereof (or which actually gives notice hereof) shall be recorded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the same is permitted pursuant to Applicable Laws, Purchaser shall be entitled to record a notice of lis pendens if Purchaser is entitled to seek (and is actually seeking) specific performance of this Agreement by Seller in accordance with the terms of Section 9.1. This Section shall survive the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement.
4.19. Facsimile or Electronic Signatures. The execution of this Agreement and all notices given hereunder and all amendments hereto, may be effected by facsimile or electronic signatures, all of which shall be treated as originals; provided, however, that the party receiving a
43

document with a facsimile or electronic signature may, by notice to the other, require the prompt delivery of an original signature to evidence and confirm the delivery of the facsimile or electronic signature.
4.20. Seller. The use of the term “Seller” hereunder shall apply to Operating Lessee and Fee Owner as applicable and appropriate.
4.21. Survival. The provisions of this Article X shall survive Closing. Except for provisions of this Agreement that expressly survive the Closing, and except as expressly provided in Section 10.12 hereof, all of the representations and warranties and covenants of the parties contained in this Agreement shall not survive the Closing and shall merge into the Closing Documents. Upon Closing, any breach or default of any such representations or warranties or covenants that do not expressly survive the Closing, whether known or unknown, shall be deemed waived by the Closing.
4.22. Local Law Provisions.
(a) Purchaser and Seller acknowledge that the Real Property constitutes “Commercial Real Estate” as defined in Revised Code of Washington (“RCW”) Chapter 64.06.005. Purchaser hereby waives receipt of a seller disclosure statement required under RCW 64.06 for transactions involving the sale of commercial real estate except for the section entitled “Environmental”. The section entitled “Environmental” of such seller disclosure statement as completed by Seller is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit H (the “Environmental Disclosure Statement”). Purchaser acknowledges its receipt of the Environmental Disclosure Statement and waives its right to rescind this Agreement under RCW 64.06.030. Purchaser further agrees and acknowledges that the Environmental Disclosure Statement (a) shall be for disclosure only, (b) shall not be considered part of this Agreement, and (c) shall not be construed as a representation or warranty of any kind by the Seller.
(b) Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate in providing notice to King County of the purchase of the Property not later than thirty (30) days before the Closing Date in compliance with applicable law, and any Taxes billed by King County in response to such notice that would otherwise be payable in the year after the Closing Date but for the purchase of the Property shall be prorated in accordance with Section 7.6 hereof.
(c) Each of Seller’s and Purchaser’s indemnities as set forth in this Agreement specifically cover actions brought by any employee of the indemnifying party. Such indemnities are specifically and expressly intended to constitute a waiver of the indemnifying party’s immunity under Washington’s Industrial Insurance Act, RCW Title 51, to the extent necessary to provide the indemnified party with a full and complete indemnity from claims made by the employees of the indemnifying party. SELLER AND PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION WERE SPECIFICALLY NEGOTIATED AND AGREED UPON BY THEM.
