(c) During or prior to the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall at Purchaser's expense obtain a title insurance commitment (the “Title Commitment”), together with legible copies of instruments listed as exceptions attached thereto, agreeing to issue Purchaser, upon recording of the Deed to Purchaser, the Owner's Title Policy insuring Purchaser's title to the Real Property, subject only to Permitted Title Exceptions and those to be discharged by Seller at or before Closing. Seller shall convey marketable title subject only to the Permitted Title Exceptions. Marketable title shall be determined according to applicable Title Standards adopted by authority of The Florida Bar and in accordance with law.  Notice(s) of Commencement and liens, or rights to a lien, for services, labor or materials heretofore or hereafter furnished, whether shown or not shown by the public records, shall not be deemed to be Permitted Title Exceptions. Purchaser shall have 15 days from the date of receiving the Title Commitment to examine it. If title is found defective, Purchaser shall, within 5 days thereafter, notify Seller in writing specifying the defect(s) (“Purchaser Objections”). If the defect(s) render title unmarketable, Seller shall have 30 days from receipt of notice to remove the detects, failing which Purchaser shall, within 5 days after expiration of the 30 day period, deliver written notice to Seller either: (1) extending the time for a reasonable period not to exceed 120 days within which Seller shall use diligent effort to remove the defects; or (2) terminating this Agreement, in which case the parties hereto shall be released from all further obligations hereunder, except those which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement. If Purchaser fails to so notify Seller, Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted the title as it then is. Seller shall, if title is found unmarketable, use diligent effort to correct defect(s) within the time provided therefor. If Seller is unable to timely correct the defects, Purchaser shall either waive the defects or terminate this Agreement, in which case the parties hereto shall be released from all further obligations hereunder, except those which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement.  Seller shall not, 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 or changes to the REA or Condominium Documents without Purchaser’s prior written consent.  All title matters revealed by the Title Commitment which are not objected to by Purchaser as provided above, or which are waived or deemed waived by Purchaser as provided above, shall be Permitted Title Exceptions.

(b) Cash Flow Participation Advance.  At Closing, Purchaser shall advance $200,000 to Seller as a prepayment of future Annual Cash Flow Participation Amounts due to Seller (the “Cash Flow Participation Advance”).  The Cash Flow Participation Advance, and any other advances or prepayments made to Seller during the Participation Period, shall be offset against first (earliest consecutive) Annual Cash Flow Participation Amounts due to Seller. Once cumulative Cash Flow Participation amounts exceed the amount of the Cash Flow Participation Advance (plus other advances, if applicable), payments of Annual Cash Flow Participation Amounts will commence to Seller. 
 
(c) Mutiny Input.  During the Participation Period, Seller shall be entitled to participate in regular meetings with Purchaser and/or Hotel executives.  These meetings will be no more frequent than every 2 months (6 times per year), shall be conducted at the Hotel (unless the parties agree otherwise) and shall be scheduled by Seller through Felix Madera's office or such other executive as Purchaser shall designate. 
 
(d) Sale/Refinancing of Property.  Purchaser shall have the right to sell or refinance the Property at any time.  In the event of a sale or refinancing during the Participation Period, Purchaser shall pay Seller, upon closing of the sale or refinance, a percentage of the Net Sale Proceeds or Net Refinancing Proceeds, as applicable, equal to the same percentage as the Applicable Percentage in effect (per Section 6.1(a) above) with respect to Cash Flow at the time of the closing, subject to the Sale Participation Cap or Refinancing Participation Cap (as applicable) specified in Section 6.1(e) below.  For purposes of this provision, “Net Sale Proceeds” shall mean the amount of the net sale proceeds (in the case of a sale) after deducting the following amounts, and  “Net Refinancing Proceeds” shall mean the amount of the net refinancing proceeds (in the case of a refinancing) after deducting the following amounts:  (i) $7,700,000, (ii) amounts spent on capital additions and replacements in excess of the Capital Reserve, on a cumulative basis, and (iii) reasonable sale/refinancing costs including legal costs and loan prepayment costs (if any).  Any unrecovered portion of the Cash Flow Participation Advance will be deducted from Seller’s share of the Net Sale Proceeds or Net Refinancing Proceeds (as applicable).  All refinancing and sale proceeds that Seller receives will be deemed an advance (prepayment) of future Annual Cash Flow Participation Amount(s) and shall be treated the same way as the Cash Flow Participation Advance described in Section 6.1(b) above. 
 
(e) Participation Caps.
 
(1) Sale Participation Cap.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of the sale of the Real Property by Purchaser during the Participation Period, Seller’s share of the Net Sale Proceeds (i.e., the Applicable Share described in Section 6.1(d) above) shall not exceed, and shall be capped at, the amount which, when added to Seller’s cumulative receipts from the Cash Flow Participation (including the Cash Flow Participation Advance and all other Cash Flow Participation receipts) from commencement of the Participation Period through the sale date, will equal the Sale Participation Cap (hereinafter defined).  For purposes hereof, “Sale Participation Cap” shall mean $3,400,000, as adjusted by the Index. If, by the time of the sale, Seller has already received Cash Flow Participation funds (including the Cash Flow Participation Advance) which, in the aggregate, equal or exceed the Sale Participation Cap, then Seller shall not be entitled to receive any portion or share of the Net Sale Proceeds derived from the sale.
 
(2) Refinancing Participation Cap.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that, during the Participation Period, Purchaser refinances the loan secured by the Real Property, Seller’s share of the Net Refinancing Proceeds (i.e., the Applicable Share described in Section 6.1(d) above) shall not exceed, and shall be capped at, the amount which, when added to Seller’s cumulative receipts from the Cash Flow Participation (including the Cash Flow Participation Advance and all other Cash Flow Participation receipts) from commencement of the Participation Period through the refinance date, equals $3,000,000 (the “Refinance Participation Cap”).  If, by the time of the refinance, Seller has already received $3,000,000 or more, in the aggregate, from the Cash Flow Participation, then Seller shall not be entitled to receive any portion or share of the Net Refinancing Proceeds derived from the refinance.
 

 
21

 

(f) Right of First Offer.  In the event Purchaser proposes to sell the Property during the Participation Period for a price that will not result in the Sale Participation Cap being reached (between the cumulative Annual Cash Flow Participation Amounts received by Seller, the Cash Flow Participation Advance and Seller’s share of Net Sale Proceeds), Seller shall have a right of first offer to acquire the Property.  This right (“option”) shall be exercised in accordance with the following “option” mechanics:  Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing of the sale price and material business terms it would accept for the Property, and Seller shall have thirty (30) days to elect to purchase the Property for that price and on those terms, or not.  If Seller elects to purchase the Property on the offered price and terms, Seller shall have thirty (30) days from exercise of its option to perform, at its expense, any tests, studies and investigations as Seller deems appropriate and may rescind its exercise of the option if not satisfied with the results of its due diligence by delivering written notice of rescission to Purchaser during said thirty (30) day period. Seller and Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to execute a purchase and sale contract within forty five (45) days following Seller’s exercise of the option. The purchase and sale contract shall require Seller to deliver a good faith deposit to Purchaser upon signing in the amount of ten percent (10%) of the purchase price.  If the parties are not able, despite reasonable efforts, to enter into a purchase and sale contract within forty five (45) days following Seller’s exercise of the option, either party may terminate the proposed purchase and Purchaser shall be free to sell the Property to any other Person within one hundred eighty (180) days from such termination, for a price of at least 92.5% of that offered to Seller and on terms not materially more advantageous to the purchaser than those offered to Seller.  If Seller declines to purchase the Hotel on the terms offered by Purchaser, or allows the thirty (30) day exercise period to expire without responding, Purchaser shall be free to enter into a sale of the Property with a third party within one hundred eighty (180) days from receipt of Seller’s notice of decline or from expiration of the thirty (30) day period, for a price of at least 92.5% of that offered to Seller and on terms not materially more advantageous to the purchaser than those offered to Seller.  For purposes hereof, a “sale” shall occur when a purchase and sale agreement is executed by Purchaser and a third party, not when the transaction closes.  Any such sale to Seller or a third party shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 6.1(b)(d) and (e) above.  Following any such sale, neither Purchaser nor a third party purchaser shall have any further obligations to Seller. 
 
(g) The provisions of Section 6.1 shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed to Purchaser.
 
6.2 Agreements.  After execution of this Agreement, Seller shall not enter into any new Operating Agreements, Occupancy Agreements, Leased Property Agreements, management agreements, settlement agreements, or other agreements that bind the Purchaser, Property or Hotel operation, or any modifications to any such agreements, unless Seller has obtained Purchaser’s prior written consent to such agreement or modification. Seller and Purchaser shall make reasonable coordinated efforts to obtain those consents, if any, which Purchaser informs Seller it would like to obtain prior to Closing (in which the counterparties to the applicable Operating Agreements, Occupancy Agreements, Leased Property Agreements and/or other agreements consent to Seller’s assignment of its interests under the agreement to Purchaser).  Seller shall pay all reasonable fees, charges and expenses relating to such consents.  Seller shall not cancel any Operating Agreement, Occupancy Agreement, Leased Property Agreement, RMA or other agreement at any time prior to the Closing without the prior written consent of Purchaser.
 
6.3 Warranties and Guaranties.  Seller shall not, before or after Closing, release or modify any Warranties and Guaranties, except with the prior written consent of Purchaser.  The provisions of this Section 6.3 shall survive the Closing.
 
6.4 Insurance.  Seller shall not cancel or voluntarily allow to expire, any Insurance Policies which Seller has arranged for the Condominium Association, Commercial Unit and/or Parking Parcel, unless such policy is replaced, without any lapse of coverage, by another policy or policies providing coverage at least as extensive as the policy or policies being replaced.  The provisions of this Section 6.4 shall survive the Closing.
 

 
22

 

6.5 Operation of Property Prior to Closing.  Seller and Purchaser covenant and agree that, between the date of this Agreement and the date of Closing, the Hotel Management Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and:
 
(a) Subject to seasonal differences and events or conditions beyond the parties’ reasonable control, the Property and Hotel shall be operated and maintained in substantially the same manner in which it was operated and maintained prior to the execution of this Agreement;
 
(b) Seller and Purchaser shall promptly advise each other of any litigation, arbitration or administrative hearing concerning the Property or the operation of the Hotel or threat of litigation of which it obtains actual knowledge; and
 
(c) Seller shall refrain from removing or causing or permitting to be removed any part or portion of the Tangible Personal Property owned or leased by Seller, without the prior written consent of Purchaser.
 
6.6 Hotel Employees. The parties acknowledge that there will be continuity of employment with respect to the Hotel Employees after Closing, since the Hotel Employees are already employed by Purchaser in its role as Hotel Manager.
 
6.7  Termination of Hotel Management Agreement.  The Hotel Management Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect upon Closing of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.  Neither Purchaser nor Seller shall be released from any liabilities or obligations arising under the Hotel Management Agreement prior to Closing and, notwithstanding anything contained in the Hotel Management Agreement to the contrary, said liabilities shall survive the Closing for a period of two years.
 
6.8 Settlement Agreements; Turner Settlement Agreement.  Seller entered into the Settlement Agreements listed in Schedule 3.10 annexed hereto.  As a condition of the Settlement Agreement dated November 29, 2005 (the “Turnover Settlement Agreement”), Seller agreed with the Condominium Association to remedy certain alleged defects in the design, construction, development, maintenance and repair of the Condominium and the Shared Components, including certain stucco repairs and exterior painting.  In the Settlement Agreement dated January 27, 2010 (the “Stucco Settlement Agreement”), the Condominium Association acknowledged that Seller had fully corrected all of the alleged defects referenced in the Turnover Settlement Agreement except for the matters relating to the stucco repairs and exterior painting (as further described and defined in the Stucco Settlement Agreement, the “Remaining Work”).  Seller commenced litigation against Turner Construction (“Turner”), who was the general contractor engaged by Seller for the construction of the Condominium and Shared Components, regarding the stucco and painting issues.  Seller and Turner reached a settlement and negotiated a Settlement Agreement (including mutual releases), a true and correct copy of which has been provided to Purchaser (the “Turner Settlement Agreement”), in which Turner agreed to remedy the stucco defects (perform or cause subcontractors to perform the Remaining Work) at Turner’s expense.  Seller has requested that, in addition to painting the areas of stucco to be repaired as part of the Remaining Work, Turner also paint and caulk the balance of the building as specified by Zyscovich Architects as described in Exhibit B of the Stucco Settlement Agreement (the “Additional Work”). Turner has engaged or will engage one or more subcontractors to perform the Remaining Work and Additional Work.  The Remaining Work commenced approximately one month prior to the parties’ execution of this Agreement and is tentatively scheduled to be completed in February, 2011.
 

 
23

 

(a) Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that Seller has delivered to Purchaser a true and complete copy, including all exhibits and amendments, of the Turnover Settlement Agreement, Stucco Settlement Agreement, Turner Settlement Agreement, Settlement Agreement dated October 30, 2006 between Seller the Condominium Association (regarding Hotel shared costs and exclusive use areas), Settlement Agreement dated October 3, 2005 between Seller and Mutiny on the Bay Condominium Association, Inc. (regarding Declaration of Easement for use by Mutiny on the Bay of 212 parking spaces in Hotel building),  Settlement Agreement dated ___ day of ____, 2001 between Seller and Mutiny on the Bay Condominium Association, Inc. (regarding shared delivery areas, access roads, parking, valet and security services) and Letter of Understanding and Agreement Between the Mutiny and the Munroe Family for Treatment of the Eva Munroe Grave, entered into in April, 1998  (collectively, the “Settlement Agreements”).
 
(b) Seller expressly assumes the obligation and shall be solely responsible, before and after Closing, for causing Turner to fully and timely perform the Turner Settlement Agreement and effectuate the Remaining Work and Additional Work in a good and workmanlike manner, in conformity with the Turner Settlement Agreement, within a reasonable period of time and at no out-of-pocket cost to Purchaser, the Hotel operation or the Condominium Association (other than as provided in the Stucco Settlement Agreement) and shall diligently oversee and enforce the provisions of the Turner Settlement Agreement before and after Closing.  Purchaser agrees to reasonably cooperate with Seller after Closing, as long as there are no out-of-pocket costs to Purchaser of such cooperation, with respect to Seller’s efforts to cause Turner to fully and timely perform the Turner Settlement Agreement and effectuate the Remaining Work and Additional Work in a good and workmanlike manner and in conformity with the Turner Settlement Agreement. Seller agrees to use all reasonable efforts to cause Turner Construction and its subcontractors to minimize disruptions to the Hotel operation due to circumstances arising from the Turner Settlement Agreement, Remaining Work and/or Additional Work including, without limitation, to minimize the length of time the pool is closed.  Since closure of the pool will have a material adverse affect on the Hotel operation, the parties have agreed as follows:
 
(1) For every day the pool is closed due to circumstances arising from the Turner Settlement Agreement, Remaining Work and/or Additional Work, Seller shall waive $3,572 of first payable Cash Flow Participation (beyond the $200,000 Cash Flow Participation Advance) – up to a total of 56 days (approximately $200,000).
 
(2) For every day of such pool closure beyond 56 days, up to a total of 70 days, the $3,572/day shall be payable by Seller to Purchaser in cash.
 
(3) If such pool closure extends beyond 70 days, the per diem cash payment shall be $5,000/day for each day of such pool closure beyond 70 days.
 
(4) Purchaser shall cooperate with Turner Construction to reduce the period of pool closure as long as it does not result in inconvenience to guests or staff of the Hotel, or out-of-pocket costs to Purchaser or the Hotel operation.  Seller shall have no right of offset against such per diem amounts regarding any claim that Purchaser did not provide adequate cooperation.
 
(5) Understanding that Purchaser is relying on prompt payment of the cash per diem should the pool closure extend beyond 56 days, Seller’s failure to pay this money within 15 days of written request shall result (A) in interest accruing on any unpaid amount at the highest rate permitted by applicable law, and (B) in forfeiture of any further distributions of Cash Flow Participation, refinancing proceeds and sale proceeds on a 3-to-1 basis.  For example, if Seller fails to remit $5,000 within the 15 day period, interest shall accrue and Seller shall be deemed to have forfeited $15,000 of those distributions of Cash Flow Participation on a first payable basis.  
 

 
24

 

(c) Seller represents and agrees that, as of the date hereof, there is at least $232,000 in the Shared Components Replacement Reserve that is designated for building painting and that such sums, prior to Closing, shall only be used with the prior, written consent of Purchaser.  The parties agree that such funds are intended to be used, among other things, to pay: (i) $100,000 to Turner Construction for the Additional Work to be performed by Turner Construction under the Turner Settlement Agreement, (ii) $58,300 to Seller (representing $63,300 to reimburse Seller for the Condominium Association’s share of the legal and engineering fees Seller expended to cause Turner to perform, LESS $5,000 which will be paid directly to the Condominium Association per clause (iii) below), and (iii) $5,000 to the Condominium Association for legal costs incurred in connection with negotiation of the Stucco Settlement Agreement.
 
(d) Seller agrees that all reserves for painting, as well as all other Shared Components reserves, shall be “turned over” to Purchaser at time of Closing and thereafter Purchaser shall control the reserves in its capacity as owner of the Hotel Unit (as opposed to controlling the reserves on Seller’s behalf in its capacity as the Hotel Manager).
 
(e) Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that Seller delivered to Purchaser a true and accurate copy of the survey prepared by Fortin, Leavy, Skiles, Inc. dated November 17, 2006, which was attached as an exhibit to the Settlement Agreement dated October 30, 2006 between Seller (as the Hotel Unit owner) and the Condominium Association and that the survey, to Seller’s knowledge, accurately depicts the areas of the building that were used and/or occupied exclusively by the Hotel as of the date of the survey.  Seller further represents and warrants  to Purchaser that, although the Settlement Agreement dated October 30, 2006 allows the Hotel Unit owner to expand the exclusive use areas of the Hotel Unit to other areas within the Building upon mutual agreement of the Condominium Association and Hotel Unit owner (the “Hotel Unit Expansion Exclusive Use Areas”), no such Hotel Unit Expansion Exclusive Use Areas have been mutually agreed upon or designated to date.  Seller further represents and warrants to Purchaser that, to Seller’s knowledge, all areas of the real property in which the Property is located that are currently being used as part of the Hotel operations (other than the Commercial Unit a/k/a CU-2) are included within the Hotel Unit or are exclusive use areas of the Hotel Unit, and no conflicts or controversies exist between Seller and the Condominium Association regarding the boundaries, ownership, use or possession of any areas currently used by, for or in connection with the Hotel, or any other area.
 
(f) Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that Seller does not owe (and Purchaser when it becomes the Hotel Unit Owner shall not owe), any sums to the Condominium Association or any other Person arising under or in connection with any of the Settlement Agreements, except for the sums referenced above in Section 6.8(c) of this Agreement.
 
(g) Seller hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser and the Purchaser Parties from, against and in respect of all losses, liability, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) suffered or incurred by Purchaser or a Purchaser Party arising from, by reason of or in connection with one or more of the Settlement Agreements including, without limitation, (i) a failure by Seller to perform any covenant or obligation set forth in this Agreement pertaining to the Settlement Agreements, or (ii) a failure by Seller, prior to Closing, to perform any covenant or obligation set forth in any of the Settlement Agreements (including the Turner Settlement Agreement), or (iii) a failure by Seller, before or after Closing, to perform any covenant or obligation set forth in the Turner Settlement Agreement or set forth in this Agreement and pertaining to the Turner Settlement Agreement.
 
(h) The provisions of Section 6.8 shall survive the Closing.
 

 
25

 

6.9 Reasonable Inspection After Closing.  After Closing, Seller shall afford Purchaser and its agents, employees and auditors reasonable access to its books of account, financial and other records and information, to the extent such items and contact with such persons relate to the Property or business operations conducted upon the Property and to the extent necessary in connection with any audit, litigation, settlement or other reasonable business purpose relating to the Property; provided that: (i) any such access by Purchaser shall not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of Seller’s business, (ii) shall be at Purchaser’s expense, (iii) shall not occur more than once per year, and (iv) Purchaser shall keep the information contained in such records confidential in accordance with Section 8.4.  After Closing, Purchaser shall afford Seller and its agents, employees and auditors reasonable access to its books of account, financial and other records and information, to the extent such items and contact with such persons relate to the business operations conducted upon the Property and to the extent necessary to confirm the accuracy of the amounts delivered to Seller with respect to the Cash Flow Participation; provided that (i) any such access by Seller shall not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of Purchaser’s business, (ii) shall be at Seller’s expense, (iii) shall not occur more than once per year, and (iv) Seller shall keep the information contained in such records confidential in accordance with Section 8.4.  The provisions of this Section 6.9 shall survive the Closing.
 
6.10 Contribution Agreement.  As part of the Loan Modification, Ocean Bank is requiring Purchaser to cause the Sonesta Guarantor to execute and deliver the Sonesta Limited Guaranty in favor of Ocean Bank, and is requiring Seller to cause the Mutiny Park Guarantor to execute and deliver the Additional Mutiny Assurances in favor of  Ocean Bank.  In connection therewith, the Sonesta Guarantor and Mutiny Park Guarantor make the following agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) and join into this Agreement for the purpose of confirming and agreeing to be bound by this Section.  In the event Purchaser defaults under the Loan Modification and Assumption Documents, and a final, non-appealable judgment is rendered against Purchaser with respect to such default, and demand is made by the judgment holder against the Sonesta Guarantor and/or the Mutiny Park Guarantor to pay the amounts owed under such judgment, the Sonesta Guarantor agrees that it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remit to Ocean Bank, in accordance with the Sonesta Limited Guaranty, the amounts owed to Ocean Bank under the final, non-appealable judgment against Purchaser, up to the maximum amount covered by the Sonesta Limited Guaranty, prior to the judgment holder collecting all or part of such sums from the Mutiny Park Guarantor.  In the event that the judgment holder collects any amounts from the Mutiny Park Guarantor under the Additional Mutiny Assurances, Purchaser agrees that, immediately following a sale or refinancing of the Property (provided that Purchaser does not have any affirmative defenses with respect to such Purchaser default), Purchaser shall reimburse the Mutiny Park Guarantor for amounts collected by the judgment holder from the Mutiny Park Guarantor, up to a maximum amount equal to the lower of (a) the difference between (i) Four Million Dollars (US $4,000,000) and (ii) the amounts paid by the Sonesta Guarantor to the judgment holder, and (b) $2,500,000.  In no event shall Sonesta be obligated to reimburse the Mutiny Park Guarantor for more than $2,500,000 for funds expended by the Mutiny Park Guarantor under the Additional Mutiny Assurances, or be required to expend more than $4,000,000, in the aggregate, pursuant to the Sonesta Limited Guaranty.  The provisions of this Section 6.10 shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed and shall remain in effect until the Existing Loan, Sonesta Limited Guaranty and Additional Mutiny Assurances have been terminated.

ARTICLE VIII                                
 
GENERAL PROVISIONS
 
8.1 Fire or Other Casualty.  If, prior to Closing, the Property is damaged by fire or other casualty which would cost no more than $100,000.00 and require less than 30 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 that may be payable to Seller on account of any such fire or other casualty and pay to Purchaser the amount of the applicable deductible(s) under such insurance policies.  If any such damage due to fire or other casualty would cost in excess of $100,000.00 or require more than 30 days to repair, then Purchaser may terminate its obligations under this Agreement to purchase the Property by written notice given to Seller, in which case 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.  
 
8.2 Condemnation.  Each party agrees to promptly make the other aware of any notice it receives of a proposed 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 Improvements or any portion thereof which constitutes a part of such Real Property, the Purchaser may terminate its obligations under this Agreement to purchase the Property by delivering written notice to Seller, in which event 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 which may be payable to Seller on account of any such condemnation.
 
8.3 Brokers.
 
(a) Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that it has dealt with no broker, salesman, finder or consultant with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.  Seller agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold Purchaser harmless from and against all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) and charges resulting from Seller’s breach of the foregoing representation in this Subsection 8.3(a).  The provisions of this Subsection 8.3(a) shall survive the Closing and any termination of this Agreement.
 
(b) Purchaser represents and warrants to Seller that it has dealt with no broker, salesman, finder or consultant with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.  Purchaser agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) and charges resulting from Purchaser’s breach of the foregoing representations in this Subsection 8.3(b).  The provisions of this Subsection 8.3(b) shall survive the Closing and any termination of this Agreement.

8.4 Confidentiality.  Except as hereinafter provided, Purchaser and Seller and their respective 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, the Submission Matters) confidential and such information shall be used solely for the purpose of evaluating or effecting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and for operating the Property, and neither Purchaser nor Seller shall make any public announcements about the transaction contemplated by this Agreement unless and until the Closing occurs, unless the other first reasonably approves of same in writing, nor shall either disclose 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 transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and who are instructed to keep such information confidential, such as their Affiliates and their and their Affiliates’ respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, accountants, engineers, surveyors and consultants, and existing or prospective 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 8.4 if such information or documents, (i) were or become generally available to the public, (ii) were or become available to Purchaser or its Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Seller or its Affiliates, or (iii) were or are developed by Purchaser or its Affiliates without using or relying on any information or documents otherwise covered by the provisions of this Section 8.4.  If the Closing occurs, the parties may either make a joint press release, or each party may make an individual press release that is mutually and reasonably agreed to by the other party; provided, that if the parties fail to agree on the contents of a joint press release or separate press releases, each party may nevertheless make its own individual press release, provided the other party shall be given a reasonable opportunity to make, on the date of such individual press release, its own individual press release, and copies of each such individual press release shall be delivered to the other party prior to being made.
 
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 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.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.4, Purchaser shall have the right, from and after the Effective Date, to disclose the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement if Purchaser is advised by its legal counsel that it must disclose such terms in order to comply with Applicable Laws (e.g. public company reporting requirements).  Purchaser shall be entitled to rely on advice of its legal counsel in determining when such disclosures (and which) are required, and Seller agrees that Purchaser shall not be in breach or default of this Agreement as a result of making such disclosures determined to be necessary by Purchaser’s legal counsel.
 
The provision of this Section 8.4 shall survive the Closing.
 
8.5 Liquor License.  The liquor license for the Hotel is currently held by Purchaser in its role as Hotel Manager. The parties agree to reasonably cooperate with each other with respect to any notices, applications or other actions required to be taken, if any, in connection with the liquor license as a result of the change of ownership of the Hotel.

7.  
Subsequent to _____________ at 11:00 p.m., the effective date of the title commitment issued to Purchaser with respect to the Property (the “Title Commitment”), Seller has not, and Seller hereby agrees that Seller shall not, execute any instrument or do any act that in any way would or could adversely affect the title to the Property including, but not limited to, mortgaging or conveying the Property or any interest therein, or causing any liens to be recorded against Seller or the Property.
