In the event Seller or Purchaser delivers a Prohibited Encumbrance Notice, subject to the terms of Section 10.1 hereof, Purchaser shall have the right to either (a) waive such Prohibited Encumbrance without reduction of the Purchase Price, in which case the Prohibited Encumbrance shall become a Permitted Encumbrance and Purchaser may not thereafter refuse to consummate the transactions as contemplated hereby or claim any failure of Seller’s obligations hereunder because of any failure to cure the Prohibited Encumbrance; or (b) terminate this Agreement by written notification delivered to Seller within two (2) Business Days after the Prohibited Encumbrance Notice; provided, however, that Seller shall have a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of its receipt of such written termination notice during which to cure the Prohibited Encumbrance (and the Closing Date shall be automatically extended by such curative period) and if such cure is achieved within such fifteen (15) day period, then the termination notice shall be automatically rendered null and void; provided, further, that Seller shall be required to cure, of record, any and all mortgages and other Liens which can be cured by the payment of money, whether or not Purchaser objects thereto and whether or not Seller expressly agrees in writing to cure.

2.4.3 Access to Property.

Seller shall have the right to have a Representative present at any

 

23


such meetings or inspections conducted by Purchaser and/or its Representatives. In no event may Purchaser engage in any invasive testing of the Real Property (including testing of soil or water) without Seller’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, without first obtaining Seller’s consent thereto (in Seller’s reasonable discretion) in each instance, neither Purchaser nor any Purchaser’s Representative shall contact (i) any owner of land adjacent to the Property, including, without limitation, 1 Madison Office Fee LLC or (ii) any Governmental Authority regarding any aspect of the Property, provided that the foregoing clause (ii) shall not apply to searches of public records and databases. Purchaser shall repair any damage caused by Purchaser or its Representatives in connection with Purchaser’s or its Representatives’ entry onto the Real Property and Improvements and inspection thereof. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates from any and all Losses arising out of such entry and inspection. Purchaser’s obligations under this Section shall survive Closing and/or any termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates shall expressly exclude any Losses relating to the mere discovery of a pre-existing condition of the Property (including without limitation the discovery or pre-existing Hazardous Substances in, or, about, or under the Property).

2.4.5 Confidentiality.

(a) Unless Seller specifically and expressly otherwise agrees in writing, Purchaser agrees that the Hotel and Property Information made available to it by Seller, any Property Reports, and any other information Purchaser learns as a result of its due diligence activities are confidential and shall not be disclosed to any other Person except those Persons assisting Purchaser with the transaction (including Purchaser’s and its Affiliates’ agents, officers, directors, managers, shareholders, employees, attorneys and other designees), or Purchaser’s lender, if any, and then only upon Purchaser making such Person aware of the confidentiality restriction and procuring such Person’s agreement to be bound thereby; provided, however, that Purchaser shall have no obligation to obtain such agreement from its counsel or lender but shall nonetheless advise such Persons of the confidential nature of the Hotel and Property Information, the Property Reports and the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Purchaser may disclose confidential information to the extent (i) such information is generally available to the public through no wrongful act of Purchaser or Purchaser’s or its Affiliates’ agents, officers, directors, managers, shareholders, employees,

 

24


attorneys and other designees, and/or (ii) Purchaser is required to do so by competent legal authority or as required under the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that in the absence of a protective order, Purchaser shall disclose only such portions of the confidential information as is legally required, based on advice of counsel. Purchaser will, unless legally prohibited from doing so, based on the advice of counsel, provide Seller with prompt notice of any request, subpoena, or other demand from any third party to disclose confidential information received by Purchaser and afford Seller the opportunity to contest such demand or proceeding. Purchaser agrees not to use or allow to be used any Hotel and Property Information or Property Reports for any purpose other than to determine whether to proceed with the contemplated purchase of the Hotel. The provisions of this Section 2.4.5(a) shall survive the termination of this Agreement but shall terminate at Closing.

(b) Unless Purchaser specifically and expressly otherwise agrees in writing, and except as set forth in Section 12.3 hereof, Seller agrees that the terms of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the identity of the Purchaser and its Affiliates and any other information Seller learns regarding Purchaser or its Affiliates are confidential and shall not be disclosed to any other Person except those Persons assisting Seller with the transaction (including Seller’s and its Affiliates’ agents, officers, directors, managers, shareholders, employees, attorneys and other designees), and then only upon Seller making such Person aware of the confidentiality restriction and procuring such Person’s agreement to be bound thereby; provided, however, that Seller shall have no obligation to obtain such agreement from its counsel but shall nonetheless advise such Persons of the confidential nature of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Seller may disclose confidential information to the extent (i) such information is generally available to the public through no wrongful act of Seller or Seller’s or its Affiliates’ agents, officers, directors, managers, shareholders, employees, attorneys and other designees, and/or (ii) Seller is required to do so by competent legal authority or as required under the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that in the absence of a protective order, Seller shall disclose only such portions of the confidential information as is legally required, based on advice of counsel. Seller will, unless legally prohibited from doing so, based on the advice of counsel, provide Purchaser with prompt notice of any request, subpoena, or other demand from any third party to disclose confidential information received by Seller and afford Purchaser the opportunity to contest such demand or proceeding. The provisions of this Section 2.4.5(b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Closing.

For the purposes of this Section 6.3(a), the threshold for determining whether the representations and warranties are true, correct and complete in all Material Respects in clause (x) and the threshold for determining pursuant to clause (y) whether

 

36


modifications or updates pursuant to Section 4.3, would reasonably be expected to cause Purchaser to incur Losses or cause a diminution in value of the Property in an amount equal to or greater than the Loss Threshold Amount shall be aggregated together (e.g., if there is a $2,000,000 Loss when determining compliance with clause (x), and a $2,000,000 Loss when determining compliance with clause (y), the conditions in this Section 6.3(a) shall not have been satisfied). Seller shall provide Purchaser with a certificate at the Closing executed by Seller certifying satisfaction of the conditions in this Section 6.3(a).

(b) If the conditions in Section 6.3(a) are satisfied by Seller (as opposed to waived by Purchaser) and the Closing occurs, but Purchaser believes that the aggregate Loss or diminution in value determined pursuant to Section 6.3(a) as of the Closing Date is in excess of (i) $0 with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.1.20 hereof, and/or (ii) $1,000,000 with respect to any other representations and warranties herein, then, in any such event, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to all such Losses or diminution in value (the “Purchase Price Credit”), such amount to be mutually agreed upon by Purchaser and Seller acting in good faith. If Purchaser and Seller cannot mutually agree upon the amount of the Purchase Price Credit within two (2) Business Days after the scheduled Closing Date, then the Closing shall occur on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the scheduled Closing Date and the following terms and conditions shall apply:

(1) at the Closing, Escrow Agent shall withhold from Seller’s proceeds an amount equal to the Purchase Price Credit that Purchaser believes in good faith is payable, as evidenced by a written notice delivered by Purchaser to Escrow Agent and Seller on or before the Closing (the “Purchase Price Credit Holdback”), which Purchase Price Credit Holdback shall be placed in escrow with the Escrow Agent as a holdback and held and disbursed by Escrow Agent in accordance with clause (4) below;

(2) at the Closing, Purchaser or Seller (or Purchaser and Seller jointly) shall submit the matter to the Construction Expert for resolution;

(3) the Construction Expert shall make an independent determination of the disputed matter and submit such determination to the parties in writing within ten (10) days following its receipt of the submission of such matter. The Construction Expert’s written determination of such matter shall be binding upon the parties. All costs and expenses of the Construction Expert shall be divided equally between the parties. If the Construction Expert requests additional information Purchaser and/or Seller (or Purchaser and Seller jointly) shall submit such additional information; and

(4) after the Construction Expert provides written notice of such determination to the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent shall remit to (x) Purchaser a portion of the Purchase Price Credit Holdback equal to the Purchase Price Credit determined by the Construction Expert to be payable to Purchaser hereunder and (y) Seller, the balance of the Purchase Price Credit Holdback.

This Section 6.3(b) shall survive the Closing.

Seller shall cause the Architects, Engineers (excluding Vidaris, Inc. and ads ENGINEERS), and Contractor to attend each such Status Meeting.

Each time a change is made to the Design Drawings and Specifications last submitted to Purchaser, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser bulletins or addenda identifying the changes from the prior submission and a written notice if

 

42


any such changes constitute a Material Revision. In addition, upon production of construction drawings and specifications at one hundred percent (100%) completion, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser updated Design Drawings and Specifications and a written notice if any changes from the last bulletin or addendum delivered to Purchaser constitute a Material Revision. Purchaser shall have a period of fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of any bulletin, addendum or updated Design Drawings and Specifications (the “Objection Notice Period”) to notify Seller in writing that Purchaser disapproves of such bulletin, addendum or updated Design Drawings and Specifications, specifying in reasonable detail its reasons for such disapproval (each “Objection Notice”); provided, however, that Purchaser shall only have the right to disapprove a Material Revision, which approval of a Material Revision shall be in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion. If Purchaser has not provided Seller with an Objection Notice within the Objection Period with respect to any submission of a bulletin, addendum or updated Design Drawings and Specifications by Seller to Purchaser, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved such bulletin, addendum or updated Design Drawings and Specifications. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall not disapprove any Material Revisions previously submitted and approved, or deemed approved by Purchaser. The terms of this Section 8.1.5(a) shall survive the Closing with respect to Seller’s obligation to deliver to Purchaser bulletins or addenda identifying changes and updated Design Drawings and Specifications.

(b) If Seller receives an Objection Notice during the Objection Notice Period and Seller agrees that a Material Revision has occurred, then Seller shall promptly meet with Purchaser in an attempt to resolve any disputes regarding the Material Revision, and Seller shall revise and resubmit the subject bulletin, addendum or updated Design Drawings and Specifications (as applicable) to remove any Material Revisions objected to by Purchaser and resubmit them to Purchaser for review in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 8.1.5(a). If Seller receives an Objection Notice during the Objection Notice Period and Seller disagrees with Purchaser’s determination that a Material Revision has occurred, then Seller shall promptly meet with Purchaser in an attempt to resolve any such dispute and, if such matter cannot be resolved within fifteen (15) days after Seller’s receipt of the Objection Notice, then Seller shall submit the matter to the Construction Expert for resolution and provide a written notice thereof to Purchaser. The Construction Expert shall make an independent determination of the disputed matter and submit such determination to the parties in writing within fifteen (15) days following its receipt of the submission by Seller of such matter. The Construction Expert’s written determination of such matter shall be binding upon the parties. If the Construction Expert determines that a Material Revision has occurred, then Seller shall revise the subject bulletin, addendum or updated Design Drawings and Specifications (as applicable) based on such determination and resubmit them to Purchaser for review in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 8.1.5(a). If the Construction Expert determines that a Material Revision has not occurred, then the subject bulletin, addendum or updated Design Drawings and Specifications (as applicable) shall be deemed approved by Purchaser. All costs and expenses of the Construction Expert shall be divided equally between the parties.

 

43


(c) At each Status Meeting, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser written copies of any change orders received by Seller from the Contractor. Purchaser shall have a period of sixty (60) days after each Status Meeting to designate in writing to Seller any such change orders or revisions to the Design Drawings and Specifications (via bulletins, addenda or updated Design Drawings and Specifications) which Purchaser has received since the prior Status Meeting that Purchaser believes decrease the value of the Property (any such designated change orders or revisions, “Substantial Changes”). If Purchaser does not designate any change orders or revisions to the Design Drawings and Specifications as a Substantial Change within the sixty (60) day period, then Purchaser shall have waived its right to do so. If Purchaser designates a Substantial Change, then Seller shall have a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of such designation to designate any change orders or revisions to the Design Drawings and Specifications that Seller believes both increases the value of the Property and also directly relates to such Substantial Change (each, an “Offset Change”). If Seller does not designate any Offset Change within such thirty (30) day period, then Seller shall have waived its right to do so. The terms of this Section 8.1.5(c) shall survive the Closing to allow for the time periods set forth herein to be completed, if applicable, after Closing.

(d) Seller and Purchaser shall, no later than sixty (60) days prior to the date that Seller reasonably determines Completion of Construction is likely to occur, meet to determine the aggregate amount, if any, the designated Substantial Changes (as offset by any Offset Changes) decrease the value of the Property. If Seller and Purchaser cannot agree on such amount within thirty (30) days after such meeting, then Seller and Purchaser shall submit the matter to the Construction Expert for resolution (it being understood and agreed that both Seller and Purchaser may provide evidence of any decrease or increase in value to the Construction Expert). The Construction Expert shall make an independent determination of the aggregate amount, if any, the designated Substantial Changes (as offset by any Offset Changes) decrease the value of the Property and submit such determination to the parties in writing within thirty (30) days following its receipt of the submission by Seller and Purchaser of such matter. The Construction Expert’s written determination of such matter shall be binding upon the parties. All costs and expenses of the Construction Expert shall be divided equally between the parties. After Seller and Purchaser agree on, or the Construction Expert determines, as applicable, the aggregate amount, if any, the designated Substantial Changes (as offset by any Offset Changes) decrease the value of the Property, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted by subtracting the amount of such decrease. In the event the same occurs after the Closing Date, such adjustment shall be paid to the party entitled thereto within thirty (30) days after such agreement or determination. The terms of this Section 8.1.5(d) shall survive the Closing.

(e) If, at any time, either party learns that the initial Construction Expert (or any successor Construction Expert appointed pursuant to this Section 8.1.5(e)) is no longer able or willing to serve as the Construction Expert hereunder, then such party shall promptly provide notice of the same to the other party and Seller and Purchaser shall mutually agree upon a successor Construction Expert in writing within five (5) days after delivery of such notice (the “Selection Period”). If Seller and Purchaser do not agree upon the selection of the Construction Expert prior to the expiration of the Selection Period, then no later than two (2) Business Days after the expiration of the Selection Period, Seller and Purchaser shall each appoint an individual who is an expert in matters related to the design and construction, with respect to Section

 

44


8.1.5(a), or valuation with respect to Sections 6.3(b) and 8.1.5(d), as applicable, of hotels comparable to the Hotel in the same geographic region as the Property (each, a “Construction Expert Selector”). The two (2) Construction Expert Selectors so appointed jointly shall select the Construction Expert no later than three (3) Business Days after both Construction Expert Selectors have been appointed. If either Seller or Purchaser fails to appoint a Construction Expert Selector within the required two (2) Business Day period, the Construction Expert Selector appointed by the other shall serve as the Construction Expert. The terms of this Section 8.1.5(e) shall survive the Closing.

8.1.6 Punchlist; Unpaid Amount Escrow Fund; Certificate of Occupancy.

(a) Upon Completion of Construction, Seller and Purchaser shall jointly prepare a list of Punchlist Items with the assistance of Architect, which list shall be reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and Seller and certified by the Architect. The costs of completing the Punchlist Items that are not completed as of the Closing Date plus twenty-five percent (25%) of such costs (collectively, the “Punchlist Escrow Funds”), as such costs shall be reasonably estimated by Purchaser and Seller, shall be retained by Escrow Agent from the Purchase Price at Closing. At Closing, Seller, Purchaser and Escrow Agent shall enter into an agreement (the “Post-Closing Escrow Agreement”) which shall govern the disbursement of the Escrowed Funds, which agreement shall be in the form attached as Exhibit D hereto. Seller shall effect the completion of the Punchlist Items (i) in a good, workmanlike and diligent manner, (ii) in compliance with the Historic Preservation Application and Applicable Law (provided that Purchaser shall be solely responsible for all costs of correction of violations of Applicable Law up to $300,000, less any amounts on account of Applicable Law for which Purchaser is responsible, including, without limitation, under Section 4.1.20 hereof), and (iii) in substantial compliance with the Design Drawings and Specifications. After the Closing, Seller shall provide Purchaser with a monthly status report regarding the completion of the Punchlist Items and the opportunity to participate in monthly status calls held by Seller with the Contractor.

(b) The Punchlist Escrow Funds shall be disbursed strictly in accordance with the terms set forth in the Post-Closing Escrow Agreement. Seller shall, at its sole cost and expense, diligently correct or complete all Punchlist Items in accordance with the terms of the Post-Closing Escrow Agreement, or cause the same to be corrected or completed within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date (such time period to be extended for up to sixty (60) additional days, in the aggregate, as a result of Force Majeure, delays caused by Purchaser or any other good cause outside of Seller’s reasonable control). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Seller shall not have so corrected or completed all Punchlist Items within the applicable period of time provided above, then Purchaser shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cause the Escrow Agent to disburse the then remaining Escrowed Funds to Purchaser strictly in accordance with the terms set forth in the Post-Closing Escrow Agreement, in which case, Purchaser shall correct or complete such remaining Punchlist Items (it being understood and agreed that nothing in this Section 8.1.6 shall be deemed a release of Seller’s obligation, at its sole cost and expense, to cause Completion of Construction and completion of the Punchlist Items).

 

45


(c) In the event that Seller shall elect to deposit the Unpaid Amount Escrow Funds in order to satisfy the condition set forth in clause (iv) of the definition of “Completion of Construction” in Section 1.1 hereof, the Unpaid Amount Escrow Funds shall be retained by the Escrow Agent from the Purchase Price. The Unpaid Amount Escrow Funds (or portions thereof) shall be disbursed strictly in accordance with the terms set forth in the Post-Closing Escrow Agreement. In the event the Unpaid Amount Escrow Funds are insufficient to pay in full the Project Contractors or Direct GC Trade Contractors, Seller shall promptly pay any deficiency. Seller shall promptly deliver original executed final lien waivers to Purchaser from any Project Contractors or Direct GC Trade Contractors after such Project Contractors or Direct GC Trade Contractors are paid in full.

(d) After Completion of Construction, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section, Seller, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, shall cause the conditions contained in or otherwise expressly required by the temporary certificate of occupancy or otherwise identified by a Governmental Authority in writing to be satisfied in order to obtain a permanent certificate of occupancy (collectively, the “TCO Conditions”) and shall otherwise reasonably cooperate with Purchaser, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, in connection with Purchaser’s renewal of any temporary certificate of occupancy and obtaining a permanent certificate of occupancy (it being understood and agreed that that at all times during the TCO Period, Seller, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, shall cause to be in place a valid temporary certificate of occupancy). Seller shall deliver to Purchaser (x) any filing or application for a temporary or permanent certificate of occupancy no later than five (5) days prior to making such filing or submitting such application, and (y) from time to time, and/or upon Purchaser’s reasonable request, copies of any expediter’s matrix, reports and/or similar documentation with respect to conditions to the issuance or renewal of any temporary or permanent certificate of occupancy. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that (I) the Hotel is identified as part of two building identification numbers by the City of New York: BIN # 1016741 with respect to 5 Madison (the “5 Madison Parcel”), and BIN #1088749 with respect to the Improvements now or hereafter situated on the easement areas set forth in the CC&R and ZELDA (the “Easement Parcel”), and (II) Seller’s obligations under this Section 8.1.6(d) to obtain a permanent certificate of occupancy require separate certificates of occupancy for each of the 5 Madison Parcel and the Easement Parcel, subject to the terms and conditions herein.

Purchaser shall have a period of five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice to direct Seller in writing not to undertake such actions in which event, so long as the failure to take such actions does not otherwise (in and of itself) jeopardize the validity of the then-existing temporary certificates of occupancy or the ability to renew such temporary certificates of occupancy, Seller shall not undertake such action and Seller’s performance under this Section 8.1.6(d) with respect to such matters shall be excused. Nothing in this Section 8.1.6(d)(viii) shall limit or modify in any way the provisions of Section 8.1.6(d)(iv)(C) or require Seller to satisfy any TCO Conditions with respect to the Easement Parcel, that are not within the reasonable control of Seller to satisfy because the underlying condition relates to the real property and improvements known as 1 Madison Avenue, New York, New York (expressly excluding any TCO Condition requiring additional loading berths or additional hours of operation of the loading berths on the Easement Parcel which such TCO Conditions, for the avoidance of doubt, are not excused by Section 8.1.6(d)(iv)(D)).

50


8.2.4 Liquor License Cooperation. Purchaser shall cooperate with Seller, at Seller’s sole cost and expense (except as expressly set forth in the last sentence of this Section), and Manager in connection with the provision of any information and the taking of any action necessary to enable Seller and/or Manager to obtain the liquor license for the Hotel, including, without limitation, attendance at any necessary meetings or hearings, execution of forms and documentation and the timely provision of all information requested by Seller or Manager, provided that Purchaser shall not be required to disclose Purchaser’s ownership structure (e.g., the holders of direct and indirect ownership interests in Purchaser) (it being understood and agreed that such disclosure by Purchaser shall be limited to a manner consistent with the internal policies of Purchaser and its Affiliates and past practices among Affiliates of Purchaser and Affiliates of Manager). If (i) Seller or Manager is unable to obtain a liquor license for the Hotel solely as a result of the failure of Purchaser to disclose its ownership structure, (ii) Seller and Manager have used Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain a liquor license without disclosing Purchaser’s ownership structure, including permitting Purchaser to appoint an individual to hold the liquor license for the Hotel to the extent such arrangement satisfies Applicable Laws, (iii) liquor counsel reasonably approved by Seller and Purchaser have acknowledged that such disclosure is required to obtain a liquor license, (iv) Seller has provided all other information required to obtain a liquor license, and (v) Seller has provided written notice to Purchaser that such failure to disclose has actually prevented Seller or Manager from obtaining the liquor license for the Hotel, then, if Purchaser has not made such disclosure (or otherwise satisfied the applicable Governmental Authority) within 5 days after receipt of such notice, Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Purchaser. For the avoidance of doubt, any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.2.4 shall not be a Purchaser Default, and Seller shall not be entitled to the Liquidated Damages Payment in connection therewith. Purchaser hereby agrees that all Commercially Reasonable Efforts by Seller and Manager to obtain a liquor license without disclosing Purchaser’s ownership structure will be at the sole cost and expense of Purchaser (it being understood and agreed that such Commercially Reasonable Efforts by Purchaser shall be limited to a manner consistent with the internal policies of Purchaser and its affiliates and past practices among affiliates of Purchaser and affiliates of Manager).

8.3 Covenants of Seller and Purchaser

51


Agreement. If either (i) Seller receives an Account Receivable that accrued on or after the Apportionment Time, or (ii) Purchaser receives an Account Receivable that accrued before the Apportionment Time, then the party in receipt of such Account Receivable shall forward the payment received in error to the other party within ten (10) Business Days following such receipt; provided, however, that such payments shall be required not more than twice per calendar month.

(c) Payments or Invoices Received in Error. If either Seller or Purchaser determines that a party may have erroneously collected certain Accounts Receivable or paid certain Trade Payables, such party shall notify the other party of the details of such erroneous receipt or payment with sufficient specificity to permit the other party to determine whether such receipt or payment was, in fact, received or made in error. If any Account Receivable was received in error, the party in receipt shall pay over any such amounts collected to the other party within ten (10) Business Days after such determination; provided, however, that such payments shall be required not more than twice per calendar month. If any Trade Payable was paid in error, the party that made such payment shall be reimbursed by the other party within ten (10) Business Days after such determination; provided, however, that such reimbursements shall be required not more than twice per calendar month.

ARTICLE X

TERMINATION AND DEFAULT

10.1 Default by Seller. In the event the Closing is not consummated as a result of Seller’s default hereunder (a “Seller Default”), so long as Purchaser has complied in all respects (other than to a de minimis extent) with its obligations under this Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, if any condition in Article VI to Purchaser’s obligation to fund the Adjusted Purchase Price is not satisfied in full (or otherwise waived in writing by Purchaser) as of the Closing Date and Purchaser has not delivered the Adjusted Purchase Price (and any other closing costs and reimbursements, including payments pursuant to the Management Agreement) to the Title Company or delivered any closing documents, then, in any such event, Purchaser’s failure to deliver the Adjusted Purchase Price (and any other closing costs and reimbursements, including payments pursuant to the Management Agreement) or any closing documents shall not be deemed a Purchaser default or the reason for the failure of any such condition), Purchaser may, at its election, and as its sole and exclusive remedy at law (a) terminate this Agreement by delivery of written notice to Seller and Title Company, whereupon Purchaser shall have all rights

 

56


and remedies at law, in equity, or otherwise (including, without limitation, a claim for damages) and (subject to such rights and remedies) the parties shall have no further obligations to each other except as specifically provided herein and the Omnibus Agreement; (b) seek specific performance; or (c) waive the Seller Default and proceed to Closing hereunder. Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its remedy of specific performance, as provided in this Section unless such action shall be instituted by Purchaser within ninety (90) days after Seller’s failure or refusal to cure a Seller Default as provided above.

10.2 Default by Purchaser. In the event the Closing is not consummated as a result of Purchaser’s default hereunder (a “Purchaser Default”), so long as Seller has complied in all respects (other than to a de minimis extent) with its obligations under this Agreement Seller, as its sole and exclusive remedy under this Agreement for a Purchaser Default, may by delivery of written notice to Purchaser and Title Company, terminate this Agreement, whereupon Purchaser shall pay to Seller the sum of Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000) (the “Liquidated Damages Payment”), less any “Liquidated Damages Payment” recovered by Miami Seller in accordance with the Miami Purchase Agreement or the Omnibus Agreement, as Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy, and the parties shall have no further obligations to each other except as specifically provided herein and the Omnibus Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall not be deemed in default hereunder if the Closing is not consummated due to the failure or one or more conditions precedent to Purchaser’s obligations to close set forth herein, and in such case a Purchaser Default shall not occur. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that (a) it would be extremely difficult to accurately determine the amount of damages suffered by Seller as a result of Purchaser’s default hereunder; (b) the Liquidated Damages Payment is a fair and reasonable amount to be retained by Seller as agreed and liquidated damages for a Purchaser Default under this Agreement in light of Seller’s removal of the Property from the market and the costs incurred by Seller; and (c) retention by Seller of the Liquidated Damages Payment upon a Purchaser Default hereunder shall not constitute a penalty or a forfeiture.

10.3 Termination by Seller and Purchaser. In addition to any other termination right set forth herein, Seller and Purchaser shall have the following termination rights:

(a) If the Miami Purchase Agreement or the London Purchase Agreement are terminated as a result of a default by Miami Buyer or London Buyer, respectively, then Seller may terminate this Agreement by written notice delivered to Purchaser within thirty (30) days after the effective date of such termination of the Miami Purchase Agreement or the London Purchase Agreement, whereupon the parties shall have no further obligations to each other except as specifically provided herein and the Omnibus Agreement.

(b) If, prior to the Completion of Construction, a Force Majeure occurs that would or is reasonably likely to increase the hard costs to complete the Rehabilitation by more than Thirty Seven Million Two Hundred Thirty Thousand Dollars ($37,230,000), assuming stipulated hard costs equal to One Hundred Thirty One Million Six Hundred Fifty One Thousand Seven Hundred Sixty Five Dollars ($131,651,765), then Seller (x) shall provide written notice of such Force Majeure to Purchaser as soon as reasonably practicable following Seller obtaining Knowledge thereof (the “Force Majeure Notice”), which Force Majeure Notice shall include

 

57


Seller’s detailed calculation of the increased hard costs to cause Completion of Construction, and (y) may terminate this Agreement by written notice delivered to Purchaser within thirty (30) days after Purchaser’s receipt of the Force Majeure Notice, whereupon the parties shall have no further obligations to each other except as specifically provided herein and the Omnibus Agreement; provided, however, that Purchaser may elect, by written notice delivered to Seller within ninety (90) days after Purchaser’s receipt of Seller’s notice of termination, to cause Seller to complete the Rehabilitation, in accordance with this Agreement (to the extent possible), in which event the Purchase Price shall be an amount equal to the total project costs actually incurred by Seller to effect the Rehabilitation (including all hard costs and soft costs) minus Thirty Seven Million Two Hundred Thirty Thousand Dollars ($37,230,000).

(c) If, prior to the Completion of Construction, a Force Majeure occurs that is reasonably likely to result in a diminution in the value of the Real Property and Improvements after completion of the Rehabilitation that would not have occurred but for such Force Majeure, by Thirty Seven Million Two Hundred Thirty Thousand Dollars ($37,230,000) or more, then, in such event, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by written notice delivered to Seller within thirty (30) days after Purchaser’s receipt of notice from Seller of the Force Majeure event in question, whereupon the parties shall have no further obligations to each other except as specifically provided herein and the Omnibus Agreement.

(d) In the event Seller terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.3(b), the following provisions of this Section 10.3(d) shall apply:

(i) If at any time or from time to time during the three (3) year period after the later to occur of (x) with respect to a sale of the Real Property and Improvements prior to completion of construction of a hotel on the Real Property, a termination of this Agreement by Purchaser pursuant to Section 10.3(b) or (y) with respect to a sale of the Real Property and Improvements after completion of construction of a hotel on the Real Property, the completion of such construction, Seller intends to sell the Real Property and Improvements, Seller shall promptly deliver notice to Purchaser of its intention to sell (“Proposed Sale Notice”). The Proposed Sale Notice shall include a statement setting forth the Economic Terms on which Seller would be willing to sell the Real Property and Improvements (and such other Assets related to the Hotel included in the Proposed Sale Notice) (collectively, the “Subject Property”). In no event shall the purchase price and management agreement terms in the Economic Terms set forth in the Proposed Sale Notice be greater than (i) the actual cost incurred by Seller to acquire, develop, construct, complete and maintain the Subject Property and (ii) the Manager’s base fee based on a percentage of gross revenues and any incentive fee, but excluding reimbursables set forth in the Management Agreement (such sum being the “Actual Cost”). Purchaser shall have the right during the thirty (30) day period commencing on Purchaser’s receipt of the Proposed Sale Notice (the “Decision Period”) to notify Seller of its desire to purchase the Subject Property in accordance with the Economic Terms contained in the Proposed Sale Notice. If Purchaser so notifies Seller within the Decision Period, Seller and Purchaser shall use good faith commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate and sign a definitive contract for purchase and sale of the Subject Property on the Economic Terms contained in the Proposed Sale Notice and such other terms and conditions as they may agree upon on or before the expiration of the Contract

Period, but if they are unable to do so then Section 10.3(d)(ii) shall apply. Seller and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to close the transaction within forty-five (45) days following the execution of the definitive contract for purchase and sale of the Subject Property.

(ii) If (A) Purchaser does not timely notify Seller within the Decision Period of its desire to purchase the Subject Property pursuant to Section 10.3(d)(i), or (ii) Purchaser timely notifies Seller within the Decision Period of Purchaser’s desire to purchase the Subject Property pursuant to Section 10.3(d)(i), but Seller and Purchaser are thereafter unable to agree upon the full terms of, and to sign, a definitive contract for the purchase and sale of the Subject Property within the Contract Period, Seller shall thereafter have the right to enter into a definitive contract with any other Person, as purchaser, for the purchase and sale of the Subject Property, but the contract with the other Person may not contain (x) a purchase price less than 95% of the purchase price contained in the Proposed Sale Notice, (y) management agreement terms less than terms set forth in the Proposed Sale Notice, and (z) any other Economic Terms that are more favorable to the other Person, in any material respect, than the Economic Terms included in the Proposed Sale Notice, and the purchase and sale of the Subject Property must be consummated not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the expiration of the Decision Period or the Contract Period, as applicable. If Seller’s sale of the Subject Property is not consummated within the one hundred twenty (120) day period, Seller may not thereafter sell the Subject Property to any Person without first complying with the provisions of this Section 10.3(d). Within five (5) Business Days after Sellers enters into a definitive contract with the other Person, Seller shall deliver a complete and correct copy of such contract to Purchaser. In the event Seller consummates a sale of the Subject Property to a Person other than Purchaser or its Affiliate and the total monetary consideration reasonably estimated to be derived by Seller and Manager and their Affiliates in connection with such sale is greater than the Actual Cost, then Seller shall pay to Purchaser an amount equal to such positive difference simultaneously with the consummation of such sale.

(iii) The terms of this Section 10.3(d) shall be survive the termination of this Agreement (and Purchaser may record a memorandum hereof against the Property following any termination of this Agreement in form reasonably acceptable to Seller).

59


11.2 Indemnification by Seller. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article XI, Seller shall save, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates, and their officers, directors and employees (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all actual out-of-pocket losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, interest, awards, judgments, fines, penalties, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending the foregoing, and including any costs and expenses incurred in connection with pursuing all rights and remedies available pursuant to the Warranties and Guarantees in accordance with Section 11.5.5) but excluding consequential and punitive damages (hereinafter collectively, “Losses”), incurred, sustained or suffered by any of the foregoing to the extent arising out of or resulting from:

11.2.1 any breach of any representation, warranty or certification made by Seller contained in this Agreement or in any document or instrument executed by Seller in connection with the Closing;

11.2.2 any claim or liability for any brokers’ or investment banking fees of Seller or its Affiliates in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to Section 12.1 hereof; and

11.3.3 any Third Party Claim against any Seller Indemnified Party which arises from an event that occurs from and after the Closing with respect to the ownership or operation of the Property.

11.4 Procedures

11.4.1 In order for a Purchaser Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party (the “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of or involving a Loss or a claim or demand made by any Person other than Seller and its Affiliates or Purchaser and its Affiliates, as the case may be, against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall deliver notice thereof to the party against whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after receipt by such Indemnified Party of written notice of the Third Party Claim, but in no event later than the Claims Deadline, describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claim for indemnification hereunder, the amount or method of computation of the amount of such claim (if known) and such other information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request; provided, however, that (x) the Claims Deadline shall not be applicable for any Third Party Claims subject to the indemnification provided in Sections 11.2.2 and 11.3.2, and (y) the Claims Deadline shall be tolled with respect to any Third-Party Claim made prior to the Claims Deadline. The failure to provide the information set forth in the preceding sentence as part of the initial written notice of claim shall not invalidate the effectiveness of the written notice provided the information is delivered in a reasonable time period thereafter. The failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article XI except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure.

11.4.2 The Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend the Third Party Claim at the expense of the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement of such Third Party Claim, to assume the defense thereof at the expense of the Indemnifying Party with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the Indemnifying Party’s election to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, upon written notice to the Indemnifying Party, elect to employ its own counsel (who shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party) at the Indemnifying Party’s expense (except that the Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to pay the fees of more than one separate counsel for all Indemnified Parties, taken together) if (A) the Indemnifying Party is also a Person against whom the Third Party Claim is made and the Indemnified Party has been advised by counsel that (x) representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct or (y) the Indemnified Party has available to it one or more defenses or counterclaims that are inconsistent with, different from, or in addition to one or more of those that may be available to the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim; or (B) the Indemnifying Party shall not in fact have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party for the defense or settlement of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the assumption of control of the defense or settlement of a Third Party Claim by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this item sentence shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligation to indemnify and hold the Indemnified Party harmless. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge,

 

61


or offer to compromise, settle or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent unless the Indemnifying Party withdraws from the defense of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such claims or proceeding pursuant to this Section 11.4 and the Indemnified Party proposes to settle such claims or proceeding prior to a final judgment thereon or to forgo any appeal with respect thereto, then the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in the settlement or assume or reassume the defense of such claims or proceeding. The Indemnifying Party and its counsel shall keep the Indemnified Party fully advised as to its conduct of such defense or settlement, and shall not compromise or settle such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless such settlement or compromise does not subject the Indemnified Party to any monetary liability, includes a complete, unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect to such Third Party Claim, and does not constitute an acknowledgement or acceptance by the Indemnified Party of fault, culpability, or responsibility of any kind.

11.4.3 In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any Indemnifying Party hereunder that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party no later than the Claims Deadline, describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claim for indemnification hereunder, the amount or method of computation of the amount of such claim (if known) and such other information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request; provided, however, that the Claims Deadline shall not be applicable for any claims subject to the indemnification provided in Sections 11.2.2 and 11.3.2. The failure to provide the information set forth in the preceding sentence as part of the initial written notice of claim shall not invalidate the effectiveness of the written notice provided the information is provided in a reasonable time period thereafter. The failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article XI except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of any claim pursuant to this Section to (i) agree to the amount or method of determination set forth in such claim and to pay such amount to such Indemnified Party, or (ii) provide the Indemnified Party with notice (a “Dispute Notice”) that it disagrees with the amount or method of determination set forth in such claim. If the Indemnifying Party has timely delivered a Dispute Notice, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall, during a period thirty (30) days from the Indemnified Party’s receipt of such Dispute Notice, negotiate to achieve resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved through negotiations, such dispute shall be resolved as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

11.5 Limits on Indemnification

11.5.1 No claim may be asserted against any party under this Article XI unless written notice of such claim is received by such party describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim on or prior to the Claims Deadline, in which case such claim shall survive until it has been finally resolved; provided, however, that the Claims Deadline shall not be applicable for claims subject to the indemnification provided in Sections 11.2.2 and 11.3.2.

 

62


11.5.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement: (i) Seller shall not be liable for any single indemnification claim that amounts to less than Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) (the “De Minimis Amount”), (ii) Seller shall not be liable unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses which may be recovered from Seller on account of all claims equals or exceeds One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the “Threshold Amount”), taking into account any Loss or diminution in value determined pursuant to Section 6.3(a) on or before the Closing Date (e.g., if Purchaser incurred a Loss or diminution in value of $600,000 pursuant to Section 6.3(a), Purchaser would only have to show aggregates Losses of $400,000 pursuant to this Section 11.5.2 in order for Seller to have liability hereunder), at which time Seller shall be liable for all such Losses (including any Losses or diminution in value determined pursuant to Section 6.3(a) to the extent the same were not credited against the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 6.3(b)); provided, however, that the Threshold Amount shall be Zero Dollars ($0) with respect to any indemnification for any breach of the covenants set forth in Section 8.1.6(d) hereof; (iii) the maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered by Purchaser shall equal Nine Million Four Hundred Forty Six Thousand Dollars ($9,446,000) minus the amount of any Purchase Price Credit which is not applied or paid under clause (iii) of Section 8.1.6(d) hereof (the “Indemnification Limit”); and (iv) no party hereto shall have any liability under any provision of this Agreement for any punitive, consequential, special or indirect damages relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement.

11.5.3 For all purposes of this Article XI, Losses shall be net of (i) any insurance (other than any self-insured retention program) or other recoveries paid (subject to Section 11.6) by a third party to the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates in connection with the facts, events or circumstances giving rise to the right of indemnification, and (ii) any net Tax benefit available to such Indemnified Party or its Affiliates arising in connection with the accrual, incurrence or payment of any such Losses (including the net present value of any Tax benefit arising in subsequent taxable years). For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall not be required to make any claim against insurance prior to making a claim pursuant to this Agreement.

11.5.4 Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate with each other with respect to resolving any Third Party Claim with respect to which one party is obligated to indemnify the other party hereunder.

11.5.5 Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no claim may be asserted by a Purchaser Indemnified Party under this Article XI unless Purchaser and such Purchaser Indemnified Party has first exhausted all rights and remedies available pursuant to the Warranties and Guarantees.

 

 

63


11.6 Assignment of Claims

11.6.1 If Purchaser receives any payment from Seller in respect of any Losses pursuant to Section 11.2 and Purchaser Indemnified Party could have recovered all or a part of such Losses from a third party (a “Potential Contributor”) based on the underlying claim asserted against Seller, Purchaser Indemnified Party shall assign, on a non-recourse basis and without any representation or warranty, such of its rights to proceed against the Potential Contributor as are necessary to permit Seller to recover from the Potential Contributor the amount of such payment. Any payment received in respect of such claim shall be distributed, (i) first to Purchaser Indemnified Party in the amount of any deductible or similar amount required to be paid by Purchaser Indemnified Party prior to Seller being required to make any payment to Purchaser Indemnified Party, (ii) second to Seller in an amount equal to the aggregate payments made by Seller to Purchaser Indemnified Party in respect of such claim, plus costs and expenses incurred in investigating, defending or otherwise incurred in connection with addressing such claim, and (iii) the balance, if any, to Purchaser Indemnified Party.

11.6.2 If Seller receives any payment from Purchaser in respect of any Losses pursuant to Section 11.3 and Seller Indemnified Party could have recovered all or a part of such Losses from a Potential Contributor based on the underlying claim asserted against Purchaser, Seller Indemnified Party shall assign, on a non-recourse basis and without any representation or warranty, such of its rights to proceed against the Potential Contributor as are necessary to permit Purchaser to recover from the Potential Contributor the amount of such payment. Any payment received in respect of such claim shall be distributed, (i) first to Seller Indemnified Party in the amount of any deductible or similar amount required to be paid by Seller Indemnified Party prior to Purchaser being required to make any payment to Seller Indemnified Party, (ii) second to Purchaser in an amount equal to the aggregate payments made by Purchaser to Seller Indemnified Party in respect of such claim, plus costs and expenses incurred in investigating, defending or otherwise incurred in connection with addressing such claim, and (iii) the balance, if any, to Seller Indemnified Party.

11.7 Disclaimer. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, IT IS EXPRESSLY UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT PURCHASER IS PURCHASING THE PROPERTY “AS IS,” “WHERE IS” AND WITH ALL FAULTS AND DEFECTS, LATENT OR OTHERWISE, AND THAT SELLER IS MAKING NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY OPERATION OF LAW OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE HABITABILITY, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS, USAGE, SUFFICIENCY, OR SUITABILITY FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR ANY TITLE, CONDITION OR VALUE THEREOF EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENTS OR INSTRUMENTS EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH. ANY SUCH OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED AND VOID. NO REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR INFORMATION MADE BY ANY PERSONS, INCLUDING ANY REPRESENTATIVE OF SELLER, AND ANY HOTEL AND PROPERTY INFORMATION OR MATERIAL CONTAINED IN ANY INFORMATION MEMORANDUM, CIRCULAR, PACKAGE, OR

THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 11.7 HAVE BEEN NEGOTIATED BY THE PARTIES AND ARE INTENDED TO BE A COMPLETE EXCLUSION AND NEGATION OF ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. PURCHASER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT DISCLAIMERS IN THIS SECTION 11.7 ARE “CONSPICUOUS DISCLAIMERS,” AND ANY COVENANTS IMPLIED BY LAW, INCLUDING COVENANTS IMPLIED BY THE USE OF THE WORDS “SELL,” “GRANT,” “CONVEY,” “ASSIGN,” “TRANSFER,” AND “DELIVER” ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED, WAIVED AND NEGATED.

ARTICLE XII

MISCELLANEOUS

12.1 Broker. Seller and Purchaser each represents to the other that it has had no dealings, negotiations, or consultations with any broker, representative, employee, agent or other intermediary in connection with the sale of the Property, except that Seller has retained the services of HVS Hodges Ward Elliott (the “Seller Broker”), and the payment of any fee or commission to the Seller Broker shall be subject to the terms and conditions of a separate written agreement between Seller and the Seller Broker, and such fee or commission owed or alleged to be owed to Seller Broker shall in no way be the responsibility of Purchaser. Seller and Purchaser agree that each will indemnify, defend and hold the other free and harmless from the claims of any other broker(s), representative(s), employee(s), agent(s) or other intermediary(ies) claiming to have represented Seller or Purchaser, respectively, or otherwise to be entitled to compensation in connection with this Agreement or in connection with the sale of the Property (the foregoing indemnity obligation of each of the parties is referred to herein as the “Broker Indemnity”). The Broker Indemnity shall survive Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

12.2 Risk of Loss. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.3(b) and this Section 12.2, from the Effective Date of this Agreement until Closing, the risk of loss or damage to the Property, including loss or damage resulting from casualty, condemnation, eminent domain and any business interruption therefrom, attributable to any acts or occurrences prior to the Closing Date shall be borne by Seller. Seller agrees to give Purchaser prompt notice of any fire or other casualty to the Property occurring prior to the Closing Date.

(a) Casualty.

(i) If the Completion of Construction occurs, but prior to the Closing Date, the Property is damaged by fire or other casualty which would cost less than an amount equal to Eighteen Million Six Hundred Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($18,615,000) (the “Casualty Threshold Amount”) to repair and would require less than one hundred eighty (180) days to repair, then, subject to the further terms and conditions of this sentence, neither party shall have

 

65


the right to terminate its obligations under this Agreement by reason thereof and the Closing shall take place without abatement of the Purchase Price, provided that (x) Seller shall assign to Purchaser at the Closing all of Seller’s interest in any insurance proceeds (except use and occupancy insurance and business interruption insurance for the period preceding the Closing Date) on account of any such fire or other casualty, and (y) Seller shall credit the amount of any deductibles under any policies related to such proceeds to the Purchase Price.

(ii) If the Completion of Construction occurs, but prior to the Closing Date, the Property is damaged by fire or other casualty which (a) would cost equal to or more than the Casualty Threshold Amount to repair, or would require one hundred eighty (180) days or more to repair, (b) materially restricts access to the Property and would require ninety (90) days or more to repair, (c) causes the Property to be not in compliance with zoning, or (d) materially interferes with the operation or use of the Hotel and would require ninety (90) days or more to repair, then Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by delivering notice to Seller within twenty (20) days after Seller has given Purchaser the notice of damage or casualty referred to in this Section 12.2 (and the Closing Date shall be so extended as applicable), in which case the parties shall have no further obligations to each other hereunder except as specifically provided herein. 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 (pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser) to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest in all such insurance proceeds and grant to Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the amount of the applicable deductible.

(b) Taking.

(i) If prior to the Closing Date any Material Taking occurs, then Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by written notice given to Seller within twenty (20) days after Seller has given Purchaser the notice of the Material Taking (and the Closing Date shall be so extended as applicable), in which case the parties shall have no further obligations to each other hereunder except as specifically provided herein.

(ii) If prior to Closing, any Non-Material Taking occurs, then 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 which may be payable to Seller on account of any such Non-Material Taking and at Closing, Seller shall credit to the amount of the Purchase Price payable by Purchaser the amount, if any, of condemnation proceeds received by Seller between the Effective Date and the Closing less (x) any amounts reasonably expended by Seller in collecting such sums; (y) any amounts reasonably expended by Seller to repair the Property as a result of such Non-Material Taking; and (z) 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.

 

66


For purposes of Section 12.2 hereof, 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. The provisions of Section 12.2 hereof constitute an express agreement to the contrary of Section 5-1311 of the New York General Obligations Law.

All risk of loss or damage to the Property, including loss or damage resulting from casualty, condemnation, eminent domain and any business interruption resulting therefrom, attributable to any acts or occurrences on or after the Closing Date shall be borne solely by Purchaser.

12.3 Publicity. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller shall make a public announcement and/or issue a public statement regarding both the execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder upon the Closing (each, a “Deal Announcement”). Seller shall consult with Purchaser prior to making a Deal Announcement and shall provide Purchaser with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on each Deal Announcement. At Purchaser’s election, the Deal Announcement may be a joint announcement. Seller agrees that it shall in no event include the identity of the Purchaser or its Affiliates in a Deal Announcement. Except for (i) the recordation of the Deed, (ii) the registration of the transfer of any and all Permits with the appropriate entities, (iii) assignments of the Contracts and (iv) the Deal Announcements, the parties agree that no party shall, with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, make any public pronouncements, issue press releases or otherwise furnish information regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, other than publicly available information, to any unaffiliated third party without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except as may be required by law, regulation or in any judicial proceeding, or as may be reasonably necessary, on a confidential basis, to inform any rating agencies, potential sources of financing, potential investors, financial analysts, or to receive legal, accounting and/or tax advice, or advice from any other similar agents or consultants.

12.4 Notices

12.4.1 Any and all notices, demands, consents, approvals, offers, elections and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be deemed adequately given if in writing and the same shall be delivered either by hand or by Federal Express or similar expedited commercial carrier, addressed to the recipient of the notice, with all delivery and freight charges prepaid, or by facsimile or electronic mail, provided a copy of such notice is also sent by Federal Express or similar expedited commercial carrier for delivery on the next Business Day following transmission of the facsimile or electronic mail.

12.4.2 All notices required or permitted to be sent hereunder shall be deemed to have been given for all purposes of this Agreement upon the date of acknowledged receipt, upon the date of receipt or refusal, or, with respect to notice by facsimile or electronic mail, upon receipt of electronic confirmation of delivery, except that whenever under this Agreement a notice is either received on a day which is not a Business Day or is required to be delivered on or before a specific day which is not a Business Day, the day of receipt or required delivery shall automatically be extended to the next Business Day.

By notice given as herein provided, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns shall have the right from time to time and at any time during the term of this Agreement to change their respective addresses effective upon receipt by the other parties of such notice.

12.5 Waivers, etc. Any waiver of any term or condition of this Agreement, or of the breach of any covenant, representation or warranty contained herein, in any one instance shall not operate as or be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any other breach of such term, condition, covenant, representation or warranty or any other term, condition, covenant, representation or warranty, nor shall any failure at any time or times to enforce or require performance of any provision hereof operate as a waiver of or affect in any manner such party’s right at a later time to enforce or require performance of such provision or any other provision hereof. This Agreement may not be amended, nor shall any waiver, change, modification, consent or discharge be effected, except by an instrument in writing executed by or on behalf of the party against whom enforcement of any amendment, waiver, change, modification, consent or discharge is sought.

12.6 Intentionally Deleted.

12.7 Tax Certiorari Proceedings. Seller, or after the Closing, Purchaser, may hereafter file applications for the reduction of the assessed valuation of the Property with respect to the tax year in which the Closing occurs and may cause certiorari proceedings to be instituted to review such assessed valuations, provided that Seller shall only file any such applications upon the request of Purchaser and after Purchaser has reviewed and consented to the form of such application. In the event that Seller files such applications in accordance with this Section 12.7, Seller shall coordinate the prosecution of such proceedings with Purchaser; provided, however, Seller shall not withdraw, compromise or settle such proceedings without Purchaser’s consent, which may be withheld in Purchaser’s sole discretion. Purchaser shall have the sole right to prosecute, compromise and/or settle such proceedings with counsel of its own choosing after the Closing, provided that Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser in connection with such proceedings. Any refunds, abatements or credits awarded in such proceedings, or in any such proceedings instituted by Purchaser after the Closing Date relating to the tax year of Closing or any prior tax year, or as a result of any compromise or settlement with respect thereto, shall be first used to reimburse the party bringing such proceeding for its out-of-pocket cost and expenses (as evidenced by invoices or bills) incurred in connection with such proceedings, compromise and/or settlement, if any, and the remainder of such refunds, abatements and credits shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser as of the Closing Date, provided that, for the avoidance of ambiguity, Purchaser shall not be entitled to any refunds, abatements or credits relating to any tax year prior to the tax year of Closing. Either Seller or Purchaser shall promptly pay to the other the amount necessary to effect such proration. Seller shall promptly provide Purchaser with any pending offers to reduce the assessed valuation of the Property made by either the New York City Tax Commission or the New York City Corporation Counsel, and agrees not to accept any pending offer from either the Tax Commission or Corporation Counsel which would reduce or otherwise affect the land, building or total assessed valuation of the Property without Purchaser’s prior written consent, which may be withheld in Purchaser’s sole discretion.

 

70


Purchaser and Seller agree to reasonably cooperate (without incurring additional costs or obligations) as the other party may reasonably request to ensure that payment of any refunds or abatements to which a party is entitled to pursuant to this Section 12.7 are paid to such party by the applicable taxing authority. No action on the part of either Purchaser or Seller pursuant to this Section 12.7 shall delay the Closing. The obligations of the parties under this Section 12.7 shall survive the Closing.

12.8 Assignment; Successors and Assigns; No Third Party Beneficiary. This Agreement and all rights and obligations hereunder shall not be assignable by any party without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however, that Purchaser shall be permitted to assign this Agreement to (x) its Affiliates and (y) a Qualified Transferee or any subsidiary wholly owned by a Qualified Transferee without the prior written consent of Seller; provided that Purchaser shall provide sufficient information regarding any Qualified Transferee (and any subsidiary wholly owned by such Qualified Transferee, if applicable) to reasonably demonstrate such Person is a Qualified Transferee. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns. The provisions of this Agreement are for the exclusive benefit of Seller and Purchaser hereto, and no other party shall have any right or claim against Seller and Purchaser, or either of them, by reason of those provisions or be entitled to enforce any of those provisions against Seller and Purchaser, or either of them. The terms of this Section shall survive the Closing.

12.9 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or deemed to be, or shall in fact be, invalid, inoperative or unenforceable as applied to any particular case in any jurisdiction or jurisdictions, or in all jurisdictions or in all cases, because of the conflict of any provision with any constitution or statute or rule of public policy or for any other reason, such circumstance shall not have the effect of rendering the provision or provisions in question invalid, inoperative or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction or in any other case or circumstance or of rendering any other provision or provisions herein contained invalid, inoperative or unenforceable to the extent that such other provisions are not themselves actually in conflict with such constitution, statute or rule of public policy, but this Agreement shall be reformed and construed in any such jurisdiction or case as if such invalid, inoperative or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein and such provision reformed so that it would be valid, operative and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted in such jurisdiction or in such case.

12.10 Counterparts; Entire Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement including all of the attached Exhibits and Schedules, each of which is hereby incorporated herein by this reference, and the Omnibus Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede and take the place of any other instruments purporting to be an agreement of the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof, including any letter of intent or confidentiality agreement with respect to the Property between entities related to Seller and Purchaser.

 

71


12.11 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed, applied and enforced in accordance with laws of the State of New York without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the State of New York, County of New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract or tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or related to this Agreement, or the negotiation or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or caused based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement) and hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such district court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. The parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent they may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding.

12.12 Performance on Business Days. In the event the date on which performance or payment of any obligation of a party required hereunder is other than a Business Day, the time for payment or performance shall automatically be extended to the first (1st) Business Day following such date.

12.13 Relationship. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed by the parties hereto, nor by any third party, as creating the relationship of principal and agent or of partnership or joint venture between the parties hereto, it being understood and agreed that no provision contained herein, nor any acts of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create the relationship between the parties hereto other than the relationship of seller and purchaser.

12.14 Interpretation; Headings. The parties acknowledge that each party and its counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and that the rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or in any amendments, Exhibits, or Schedules hereto. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. All references to sections, schedules and exhibits are to sections, schedules and exhibits in or to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. All uses of the word “including” shall mean “including, without limitation” unless the context shall indicate otherwise. Unless otherwise specified, all meanings attributed to defined terms herein shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of the terms so defined.

12.15 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to this Agreement.

12.16 Recordation. Purchaser shall not record this Agreement or a memorandum thereof in any public records without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent may be withheld in the sole and subjective discretion of Seller.

 

72


12.17 Further Assurances. The parties shall cooperate reasonably with each other in connection with any steps required to be taken as part of their respective obligations under this Agreement, and shall (a) furnish upon request to each other such further information; (b) execute and deliver to each other such other documents; and (c) do such other acts and things, all as the other party may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out the intent of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein; provided, however, no party shall be obligated to provide any further assurance that would materially increase the liabilities or obligations of such party hereunder or materially reduce the rights and benefits of such party hereunder. The terms of this Section shall survive the Closing

12.18 WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF PURCHASER AND SELLER (A) COVENANTS AND AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ISSUE ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES AS PURCHASER AND SELLER, THAT IS TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY A JURY AND (B) WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ISSUE TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT EXISTS NOW OR IN THE FUTURE. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS SEPARATELY GIVEN BY EACH PARTY, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WITH THE BENEFIT OF COMPETENT LEGAL COUNSEL. THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSING.

12.19 Omnibus Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any termination of this Agreement shall not result in any reduction whatsoever of the London Refund or the Miami Refund (as such terms are defined in the Omnibus Agreement) or the obligation to pay such amounts to extent required pursuant to the terms thereof.
