If any sales, use, occupancy or similar taxes payable with respect to the operation of the Acquired Assets for the period prior to the Closing Date have not been paid in full by Seller at or prior to Closing, Seller shall place in escrow with the Escrow Agent the estimated amount of such taxes as may be determined by the Comptroller of the Treasury, State of Wisconsin, or if such Comptroller has not made any such determination, as reasonably determined by Escrow Agent, (the “Tax Escrow”) to be held the Escrow Agent until such time as the amount of taxes are determined. Seller shall provide to the Escrow Agent a copy of the return filed in connection therewith and the Escrow Agent shall pay the taxes from the Tax Escrow without the need for further instruction from Purchaser and Seller. After payment of all such taxes from the Tax Escrow, the surplus funds, if any, will be promptly returned to Seller. In the event of any deficiency in the Tax Escrow, Seller shall immediately provide any additional amounts necessary to satisfy fully all such taxes which are due. With respect to any other taxes, if the amount of such taxes for the year in which the Closing occurs cannot reasonably be determined, Purchaser and Seller each shall prorate such taxes at Closing, in accordance with their respective pro rata shares, which in the aggregate equal the highest discounted rate of the amount of such taxes for the immediately preceding tax year and shall reconcile such pro-ration upon receipt of the current year’s tax bill. Any back taxes assessed for any period prior to the Closing, if known on the Closing Date, shall be paid in full by Seller at Closing, and if not known on the Closing Date, any back taxes will be estimated by the Escrow Agent and such amount shall be added to the Tax Escrow and the Escrow Agent shall pay the taxes from the Tax Escrow without the need for further instruction from Purchaser and Seller. In the event of any deficiency in the Tax Escrow, Seller shall immediately provide any additional amounts necessary to satisfy fully all such taxes which are due, including all delinquent and/or interest charges.

          (b) Utilities. All suppliers of utilities shall be instructed to read meters or otherwise determine the charges owing for services prior to the Cutoff Time, which charges shall be paid by Seller. Purchaser shall pay charges accruing after the Cutoff Time. If the amount of the charges owing as of the Cutoff Time cannot be reasonably determined, the apportionment shall be based at Closing upon the amount of such charges for the immediately preceding billing period but shall be readjusted when the amount of such charges is finally determined on an equal per diem basis. If elected by Purchaser, Seller shall be given credit, and Purchaser shall be charged, for any utility deposits transferred to Purchaser at Closing. A schedule of all utility deposits is to be delivered by Seller to Purchaser prior to Closing. Seller agrees to execute, in advance of Closing, any releases or other instruments as required by the utility companies to release information to Purchaser with respect to the utilities servicing the Business.
          (c) Income/Charges. All income and charges receivable or payable under any Assumed Hotel Contracts, Assumed Convention Center Project Contracts and any prepayments and receipts thereunder, shall be prorated between Purchaser and Seller as of the Cutoff Time. If elected by Purchaser, (i) Purchaser shall be given a credit, and Seller shall be charged, for all security deposits (in which case Seller shall be entitled to retain all such deposits), and (ii) Seller shall be given credit, and Purchaser shall be charged, for any contract deposits actually transferred to Purchaser at Closing.
          (d) Accounts. All Seller bank accounts, operating accounts, reserve funds, petty cash, cash in cash registers and cash in vending machines of the Seller as of the Closing Date shall remain the property of Seller except that the front desk shall retain $500.00 without charge to Purchaser for use at the Hotel. At Purchaser’s election, Purchaser shall give Seller a credit at Closing for any or all such items other than funds deposited in a bank account, in which event such credited items shall become the property of Purchaser.
          (e) Room Rentals. All accounts receivable of registered guests at the Hotel for the night in which the Cutoff Time occurs (the “Guest Ledger”) shall be shared equally between Purchaser and Seller as of the Closing Date. All accounts receivable of registered guests at the Hotel who have not checked out and were occupying rooms as of the Cutoff Time for the period up to the night prior to the night in which the Cutoff Time occurs, shall be allocated to Seller, but Seller’s share shall be reduced by applicable credit card and travel agent commissions allocable to Seller, which commissions are paid by Purchaser. All accounts receivable of registered guests at the Hotel who have not checked out and were occupying rooms as of the Cutoff Time for the night following the night in which the Cutoff Time occurs shall belong to Purchaser.
          (f) Advance Deposits. All prepaid rentals, room rental deposits, and all other deposits for advance registration, banquets or future services to be provided on and after the Closing Date shall be credited to Purchaser. All commissions already paid by Seller shall be credited to Seller. Purchaser shall receive a credit for all outstanding gift certificates and similar items.

          (g) Consumables and Inventories. Seller shall prepare, as of the Closing Date, an inventory of the consumables, inventories and supplies, including without limitation, housekeeping, maintenance and restaurant supplies (including food), and to the extent permitted by law, all liquor, all of which shall be maintained at normal and customary levels prior to Closing (the “Closing Inventory”). All Consumables and Inventories are included in the Purchase Price and no additional payment is due from the Purchaser to the Seller on account thereof.
          (h) Accounts Receivable. All accounts receivable (other than the Guest Ledger) and credit card claims as of the Closing Date shall remain the property of Seller. Purchaser shall have no obligation to collect the accounts receivable of Seller. Seller and Purchaser agree that the monies received by Purchaser from debtors owing such accounts receivable balances after Closing shall be applied to the Purchaser’s outstanding invoices to such account debtors in chronological order beginning with the oldest invoices, and thereafter, when Purchaser’s account with such account debtor is current, then on behalf of Seller. Purchaser shall not offset any such monies received by Purchaser against any claims Purchaser may have against Seller.
          (i) Accounts Payable. All accounts payable owing as of the Cutoff Time for merchandise, foodstuffs, supplies and other materials and services delivered or rendered to Seller or the Acquired Assets prior to the Cutoff Time, together with the cost of repair or service of all Personal Property delivered to a shop for repair or service prior to the Closing Date, shall be paid for by Seller at Closing. A list as of such time shall be prepared and delivered to Purchaser at least five (5) days prior to Closing. If any accounts payable with respect to the operation of the Acquired Assets for the period prior to the Closing Date have not been paid in full by Seller at or prior to Closing, Seller shall place in escrow with the Escrow Agent the estimated amount as agreed upon by Purchaser in its reasonable discretion of such accounts payable (the “Accounts Payable Escrow”) to be held the Escrow Agent until such time as the amount of the accounts payable are determined. Seller shall provide to the Escrow Agent a copy of the bills or invoices in connection therewith and the Escrow Agent shall pay the accounts payable from the Tax Escrow without the need for further instruction from Purchaser and Seller. After payment of all such accounts payable from the Accounts Payable Escrow, the surplus funds, if any, will be promptly returned to Seller. In the event of any deficiency in the Accounts Payable Escrow, Seller shall immediately provide any additional amounts necessary to satisfy fully all such accounts payable which are due.
          (j) Income Taxes. The Seller shall be responsible for any federal or local income, franchise, sales, room, occupancy, use or other tax liability relating to periods up to the Cutoff Time, even though such liabilities do not arise or become payable until after the Cutoff Time, and shall hold harmless, indemnify and defend Purchaser from all such liability. The Purchaser shall be responsible for any federal or local income, franchise, sales, room, occupancy, use or other tax liability relating to periods after the Cutoff Time, and shall hold harmless, indemnify and defend Seller from all such liability.
          (k) Employees. Seller shall be solely responsible for any and all liability for payment of all employees’ wages, accrued (whether or not earned at Closing) vacation pay, sick

-26-


 

leave, bonuses, pension benefits, severance pay or other similar benefits, benefits due to compliance with the Family Medical Leave Act and other benefits earned by and due to or accrued (whether or not earned at Closing) to employees of the Acquired Assets through the Cutoff Time, together with FICA withholding, ERISA or pension guaranty fund payments in Section 3(37)(A)of ERISA and including any unemployment and other taxes and benefits due from such employer of such employees. Seller shall be solely responsible for all costs associated with Seller’s termination of any employees and Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from and against any and all liability, loss, cost, damage or expense related to any of the foregoing items. Such indemnity shall survive the Closing Date until the applicable statute of limitations period has expired. Purchaser shall be responsible for such expenses after Closing for Purchaser’s own personnel. If, as a consequence of the purchase and sale of the Business in the manner contemplated herein, Seller withdraws from a multi-employer plan (as defined in Section 3(37)(A) of ERISA and including a multi-employer welfare plan), and such multi-employer welfare plan assesses, imposes, or otherwise makes a demand upon Seller or Purchaser for withdrawal liability whether based upon contract or statute, then such withdrawal liability shall be the sole obligation of Seller.
     11.2 Further Assurance. Such other items which have not been addressed above and which are customarily prorated and adjusted in the sale of a hotel shall be prorated on the Closing Date in accordance with standard, customary pro-rations.
     11.3 Reconciliation and Final Payment. Seller and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate after Closing to make a final determination of the pro-rations required hereunder (i) with respect to accounts receivable, promptly after receipt of all amounts owing under such accounts receivable, and (ii) with respect to all other pro-rations required hereunder, no later than one (1) year after the Closing Date. Upon the final reconciliation of the prorations under this Agreement, the party which owes the other party any sums hereunder shall pay such party such sums within ten (10) days after the reconciliation of such sums. The obligations to calculate such prorations, make such reconciliations and pay any such sums shall survive the Closing. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Seller shall be entitled to all income and receipts accruing prior to the Cutoff Time and shall be responsible for all costs, expenses and liabilities of the Acquired Assets arising from events occurring before the Cut-Off Time and Purchaser shall be entitled to all income and receipts accruing after the Cutoff Time and shall be responsible for all costs, expenses and liabilities of the Business arising from events occurring after the Cut-Off Time.

In the context of condemnation, “substantial” shall mean condemnation of such portion of the Land or Improvements as could, in Purchaser’s sole judgment, render use of the remainder impractical or unfeasible for the uses herein contemplated, and, in the context of casualty loss or damage, “substantial” shall mean a loss or damage in excess of $100,000.00 value, or damage to all or any part of the Hotel or Convention Center Project which materially and adversely impacts any operating system or portion of same or access to the Hotel or Convention Center Project or the “front of the house”.
     12.3 Procedure for Closing. If Purchaser shall not timely elect to terminate this Agreement under Section 12.2 above, or if the loss, damage or condemnation is not substantial, Seller agrees to pay to Purchaser at the Closing all insurance proceeds, plus deductible, or condemnation awards which Seller has received as a result of the same and assign to Purchaser all insurance proceeds and condemnation awards payable as a result of the same, in which event the Closing shall occur without Seller replacing or repairing such damage.

ARTICLE XV
DEFAULT REMEDIES

Purchaser hereby expressly waives any right to file a lis pendens against the Property except in connection with the filing of a lawsuit for specific performance permitted hereby.

Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, if it shall be necessary for either the Purchaser or Seller to employ an attorney to enforce its rights pursuant to this Agreement because of the default of the other party, and the non-defaulting party is successful in enforcing such rights, then the defaulting party shall reimburse the non-defaulting party for the non-defaulting party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses.

In its capacity as the Employer of the Employees, Service Provider shall withhold any amounts required to be withheld on such salaries and/or wages pursuant to applicable law. Service Provider shall determine and provide its fringe or other benefits, if any, to the Employees subject to the terms and conditions of such fringe and benefit plans.
     2.4 Policies, Procedures and Rules. The Employees shall continue to be subject to all personnel and other policies, procedures and rules of Service Provider. Attached hereto as Exhibit B are copies of such policies, procedures and rules.
     2.5 Management, Direction, and Control of Employees. Service Provider will not, but Client will manage, direct and control all activities of the Employees during the Term
     2.6 Performance Reviews. Subject to Section 2.8 hereof, Client shall (i) be responsible for determining compliance with and enforcement of Service Provider’s policies, procedures and rules with respect to the Employees, and (ii) be responsible for taking any disciplinary action deemed appropriate by Service Provider under such policies, procedures and rules with respect to the Employees.
     2.7 Worker’s Compensation Insurance. Service Provider shall maintain worker’s compensation insurance for the Employees to the extent required by applicable law.
     2.8 Job Requirements. If at any time Client reasonably determines that one or more Employees are not fulfilling job requirements, Client shall so notify Service Provider, and the parties shall mutually agree upon any action to be taken.
     2.9 Scheduling/Treatment of Personnel. Client shall be responsible for scheduling the Employees according to the needs of Client. Client shall treat the Employees in a respectful manner, consistent with the policies and procedures of Service Provider regarding standards of conduct, harassment and anti-discrimination. If any of the Employees request vacation time or paid time off during the Term, Service Provider and Client shall reasonably confer as the appropriate acceptance, rejection or rescheduling of such absence. To the extent an Employee attempts to return from a leave of absence and has a legally enforceable right to so return during the Term, the parties acknowledge that such return to work will be permitted and, if necessary, the parties shall reasonably confer to reach mutual agreement as to the arrangements associated with the Employee’s return to work.
     2.10 Scope of Duties. Client agrees that the Employees will perform duties that are consistent with the Services, and such other duties as may be requested by Client from time to time. Client shall not request or require any Employees to perform duties that are inconsistent with the Services.

K-2


 

  e.   Paid time off for earned paid-time off used during the Term in accordance with Service Provider’s existing paid-time off policy;

  k.   Federal, state, and (if applicable) local employment taxes (including Service Provider’s portion of FICA); and
  l.   Direct, third-party costs incurred in conjunction with payroll processing (e.g. ADP costs).
Client agrees not to pay the Employees directly or advance any funds to the Employees. Service Provider agrees that, because vacation pay is a benefit already earned by the Employees for which Service Provider is obligated to pay, Service Provider will not seek reimbursement from Client of vacation pay that is paid by Service Provider to the Employees
     3.2 Payment. Client shall pay Service Provider for leasing the Employees as provided under this Services Agreement in accordance with Section 3.1. All costs incurred in conjunction with period payroll processes (for example, wages, bonuses, holiday pay, funeral leave, vacation pay, unemployment compensation insurance taxes, and federal/state/local employment taxes) must be paid by Client to Service Provider at least one (1) business day prior to the payroll pay date. All other costs will be invoiced to Client and must be paid in full within five (5) days.
4. Termination.
     4.1 Term. This Services Agreement shall be effective as of the Closing Date, and shall continue until the last shift worked on April 15, 2011 but no later than 11:59 p.m. on April 15, 2011 (the “Initial Term”). Thereafter, this Services Agreement may be renewed, once, beginning upon the expiration of the Initial Term and ending on the last shift worked on April 30, 2011 but no later than 11:59 p.m. on April 30, 2011 (the “Renewal Term”). To renew this Services Agreement beyond the Initial Term, Client must provide Service Provider with fifteen (15) days’ written notice. In this Services Agreement, the “Initial Term” and, as the case may be, the “Renewal Term,” are referred to as the “Term”.
     4.2 Termination. In the event of a breach of the terms of this Services Agreement by either party, the non-breaching party may terminate this Services Agreement upon fifteen (15) days’ written notice to the breaching party, provided that such breach remains uncured for said fifteen (15) days. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Client fails to strictly abide by the payment terms described in Section 3 of this Services Agreement, this Services Agreement shall immediately terminate with no opportunity for cure.
     4.3 Effect of Termination and WARN Treatment. Upon termination of this Services Agreement for any reason, or upon expiration of the Term, as the case may be, Service Provider shall terminate all Employees and Client shall hire Substantially All Employees. The requirement that Client shall hire Substantially All Employees is intended by the parties solely to ensure that Service Provider does not incur WARN liability and, provided Service Provider does not incur WARN liability by virtue of the circumstances associated with the Employees’ termination by Service Provider and hire by Client, then the foregoing requirement will be deemed satisfied by Service Provider. Accordingly, the parties agree that the term “Substantially All Employees” means at least 76% of all Employees.
5. Insurance and Mutual Indemnification. Each party shall obtain and maintain at its own expense general liability, casualty insurance and professional liability insurance in amounts and from insurers reasonably acceptable to the other party.

In no event shall Service Provider be liable for Client’s loss of profits, business goodwill or other consequential, special or incidental damages.
