     5.3.3. Updated Title Commitment or Survey. If any update of the Title Commitment delivered to Purchaser after the Effective Date discloses any Title Exception which is not disclosed in the Title Commitment (a “New Title Exception”), or any Updated Survey obtained by Purchaser discloses any Survey Defect which would not have been disclosed by an accurate Updated Survey if one would have been obtained prior to the Effective Date (a “New Survey Defect”), and (i) Purchaser otherwise did not have Knowledge of such New Title Exception or New Survey Defect prior to the Effective Date, (ii) such New Title Exception or New Survey Defect would have a materially adverse effect on the ownership of the Property or operation of the Hotel after the Closing, and (iii) such New Title Exception or New Survey Defect was not caused by Purchaser or any Person on behalf of Purchaser, then Purchaser shall have the right to request Seller to remove or cure such New Title Exception or New Survey Defect at or prior to Closing by providing written notice to Seller within the earlier of: (A) five (5) Business Days after receiving such update of the Title Commitment or the Updated Survey if Purchaser obtains one prior to Closing, or (B) the Closing (the “New Title and Survey Objection Notice”). If Purchaser provides a New Title and Survey Objection Notice to Seller, Seller may elect, by providing written notice (the “New Title and Survey Election Notice”) to Purchaser within the earlier of five (5) Business Days after Seller’s receipt of such New Title and Survey Objection Notice or the Closing, (1) to accept such New Title Exception or New Survey Defect as an additional Unpermitted Exception to be removed or cured at or prior to Closing, or (2) to not to remove or cure such New Title Exception or New Survey Defect. If Seller does not provide a New Title and Survey Election Notice to Purchaser within such time period, then Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to remove or cure such New Title Exception or New Survey Defect as an Unpermitted Exception pursuant to clause (2) of the preceding sentence. If Seller elects or is deemed to have elected not to remove or cure a New Title Exception or New Survey Defect, then Purchaser shall have the right to elect, by providing written notice (the “New Title and Survey Response Notice”) to Seller within the earlier of ten (10) Business Days after Purchaser’s receipt of the New Title and Survey Election Notice or the Closing to (I) terminate this Agreement, in which case the Earnest Money shall be refunded to Purchaser in accordance with Section 3.2.4, and the Parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except those which expressly survive such termination, or (II) proceed to Closing pursuant to this Agreement and accept title to the Real Property subject to such New Title Exception or New Survey Defect which thereafter shall be deemed to constitute a Permitted Exception, without any credit against the Purchase Price for such New Title Exception or New Survey Defect. If Purchaser does not provide a

27


 

New Title and Survey Response Notice to Seller within such time period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed to Closing pursuant to clause (II) of the preceding sentence.
     5.3.4. Removal of Unpermitted Exceptions. Seller shall have no obligation to cure any Title Exceptions or Survey Defects other than the Unpermitted Exceptions as set forth on Schedule 5.3.1, and in any New Title and Survey Election Notice (and accepted by Seller as Unpermitted Exceptions in accordance with Section 5.3.3). Seller must cure all such Unpermitted Exceptions, and may cure any such Unpermitted Exception by removing such Unpermitted Exception from title or causing the Title Company to commit to remove or insure over such Unpermitted Exception in the Title Policy at any time prior to or at Closing. If the Title Company does not agree to remove or insure over any Unpermitted Exception in the Title Policy, but another nationally recognized title insurance company is willing to issue the Title Policy without such Unpermitted Exception in the Title Policy, then Seller shall have the right to obtain, and Purchaser shall accept, a Title Policy from such other title insurance company which otherwise shall satisfy the requirements of Section 5.4, in which case the term “Title Company” shall be deemed to refer to such other title insurance company for all purposes in this Agreement.
     5.3.5. Extension of Closing Date. If Seller determines that it will be unable to remove or cure any Unpermitted Exceptions prior to Closing, Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to postpone the Closing one or more times for up to thirty (30) days in the aggregate in each case by providing written notice to Purchaser no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the then scheduled closing date.
5.4 Title Policy. At Closing, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Title Company to issue an owner’s title insurance policy to Purchaser in the amount of the Purchase Price allocable to the Real Property as set forth on Schedule 3.4 (which may be in the form of a mark up of the Title Commitment) in accordance with the Title Commitment insuring Purchaser’s title to the Real Property as of the Closing Date, subject to the Permitted Exceptions (the “Title Policy”).
5.5 Conveyance of the Property.
     At Closing, Seller shall convey the Real Property subject only to (i) Permitted Exceptions, and (ii) all Unpermitted Exceptions which are cured by causing the Title Company to remove or insure over such Unpermitted Exceptions in the Title Policy, but which otherwise are not removed from title.
5.6 Liability under Deed. Purchaser agrees that if Purchaser has any right or claim against Seller pursuant to the Deed delivered by Seller to Purchaser, Purchaser shall exhaust all of its rights and remedies against the Title Company pursuant to the Title Policy prior to bringing any claim or action against Seller in respect of such warranties. Seller agrees that, with respect to any such right or claim by Purchaser against Seller pursuant to the Deed, the applicable statute of limitations shall be tolled while Purchaser pursues such rights and remedies against the Title Company. This Section 5.6 shall survive the Closing.

          (a) (i) Purchaser and Seller recognize that the Liquor Assets are currently owned by Liquor Seller, and that the transfer of the Liquor Assets is statutorily regulated pursuant to California Business and Professions Code Section 23950 et seq., and is subject to the approval of the ABC. In order to comply with these statutory requirements, on or prior to Closing, Purchaser (or its Liquor Designee) and Liquor Seller shall execute a separate escrow agreement relating to the transfer of the Liquor Assets to Purchaser (or its Liquor Designee) (the “Liquor Assets Escrow Agreement”), in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto, and any other required documents, and the Parties shall, at or prior to Closing, deliver a fully executed Liquor Assets Escrow Agreement to the Liquor Assets Escrow Agent along with the Liquor Assets Purchase Price.
               (ii) Simultaneously with the Closing, Purchaser shall deposit into the Liquor Assets Escrow, in cash or other immediately available funds, an amount equal to Forty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($40,000.00) for the Liquor Licenses (the “Liquor Licenses Purchase Price”) and an amount equal to Thirty-Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($35,000.00) (the “Liquor Inventory Purchase Price”; the Liquor Licenses Purchases Price and the Liquor Inventory Purchase Price are collectively referred to herein as the “Liquor Assets Purchase Price”). The amount deposited as the Liquor Assets Purchase Price shall be a credit to Purchaser against the Purchase Price at Closing in accordance with Section 11.2.10.
               (iii) The Liquor Assets Escrow shall close as promptly as possible after the Closing, subject to Applicable Law. Upon the closing of the Liquor Assets Escrow, the Liquor Assets Escrow Agent shall deliver to Liquor Seller all sums due to Liquor Seller from Purchaser for the Liquor Assets (less any amounts disbursed to third parties by the Liquor Assets Escrow Agent from the Liquor Assets Escrow pursuant to the terms of the Liquor Assets Escrow Agreement).
          (b) Within five (5) Business Days after the Liquor Assets Escrow Agreement and Liquor Assets Purchase Price has been deposited with the Liquor Assets Escrow Agent, Purchaser shall submit its application for transfer of Liquor Licenses with the ABC. During the time such application is pending with the ABC, Purchaser (or its Liquor Designee) shall have the right to enter into a Beverage Services Agreement in the form of Exhibit C (the “Beverage Services Agreement”) with Liquor Seller pursuant to which Liquor Seller shall, in coordination with the New Manager as has been the case prior to the Effective Date in the Ordinary Course of Business, manage the purchase, sale and service of alcoholic beverages at the Hotel to the extent permitted under Applicable Law and in accordance with the terms of the Beverage Services Agreement. If Purchaser has its Liquor Designee enter into the Beverage Services Agreement, then Purchaser shall guaranty all of such Liquor Designee’s obligations under the Beverage

39


 

Services Agreement. Purchaser specifically acknowledges and agrees that should the application for transfer of the Liquor Licenses from Liquor Seller to Purchaser (or its Liquor Designee), be denied for any reason, such denial shall not affect in any manner whatsoever the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Closing shall take place without delay or interruption. If Purchaser shall receive an unappealable order denying the transfer of the Liquor Licenses, Purchaser agrees to cancel the Liquor Assets Escrow Agreement and shall direct that the remaining deposit, if any, held by the Liquor Assets Escrow Agent, be paid over to Seller. Liquor Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts (at no cost or expense to any Starwood Entity other than any de minimis cost or expense or any cost or expense which Purchaser agrees in writing to reimburse) to cooperate with Purchaser (or its Liquor Designee) to cause the Liquor Licenses to be transferred or issued as provided herein, which such cooperation shall include, without limitation, maintaining and renewing the Liquor Licenses until such time as Purchaser secures approval from the ABC for the transfer of the Liquor Licenses (or receives an unappealable order denying the transfer) and also executing any and all paperwork required for the Liquor Assets Escrow Agreement and any form required by the ABC for the transfer of the Liquor Licenses.
          (c) Without limiting the obligations of the Parties under Section 8.3.1(b), the Parties do hereby specifically acknowledge and agree that to the extent the Liquor Licenses are not transferable or have not been effectively transferred to Purchaser (or its Liquor Designee) on the Closing Date, such failure shall not constitute a Purchaser Closing Condition Failure, shall not affect in any manner whatsoever the Closing, and the Closing shall proceed without any delay or interruption whatsoever.
8.4 Employees.
     8.4.1. As of the date hereof, a Starwood Entity is the Employer of the Employees and a Starwood Entity shall continue to be the employer of the Employees after the Closing, subject to the terms of the New Management Agreement. Purchaser acknowledges that the Closing shall not result in a termination of any of the Employees. The Seller Employee Plans in effect prior to the Closing shall continue in effect with respect to the Employees after the Closing in accordance with the New Management Agreement, and the Employees’ employment with Manager (or its Affiliate) shall be at salaries, wages and/or other compensation and with benefits (including, without limitation, sick leave, vacation, health insurance and other pension and welfare benefits) that such Employees enjoy as of the day prior to the Closing Date.
     8.4.2. Accrued Vacation Pay. Seller shall deliver to Purchaser at Closing a schedule (the “Accrued Vacation Pay Schedule”) listing the dollar amount of Accrued Vacation Pay for each Employee with a balance of Accrued Vacation Pay as of the Closing Date (the “Affected Employees”). Seller shall pay (or shall cause New Manager to pay), until exhausted, the balance of such Accrued Vacation Pay as and when an Affected Employee first takes vacation or is otherwise entitled to receive cash in lieu thereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Parties agree that from the Closing Date until the balance of the Accrued Vacation Pay as of the Closing Date for an Affected Employee as set forth on the Accrued Vacation Pay Schedule is exhausted, (i) Seller shall proceed under the presumption that any vacation by the Affected Employee shall be first

40


 

applied to reduce the balance of such Affected Employee’s Accrued Vacation Pay as of the Closing Date, and (ii) for the period that such Affected Employee is on vacation, Seller shall (or shall cause New Manager to) reimburse Purchaser for the wages of such Affected Employee for the applicable period by depositing such amount into the Operating Account (as defined in the New Management Agreement). If an Affected Employee ceases to be employed at the Hotel or is otherwise entitled to receive cash in lieu thereof, then Seller shall cause New Manager to pay directly to such Affected Employee such amount owed to such Affected Employee. Seller’s obligations hereunder shall cease upon depletion of the dollar amount of Accrued Vacation Pay listed on the Accrued Vacation Pay Schedule. Purchaser shall not receive a credit at Closing for any Accrued Vacation Pay.
          8.4.3. Survival. This Section 8.4 shall survive the Closing.
8.5 Bookings. From the Effective Date through the Closing Date, Seller shall not make any Bookings for a period after the Closing Date except in the Ordinary Course of Business without the prior written approval of Purchaser, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Purchaser shall honor all Bookings made prior to the Closing Date for any period on or after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, any Bookings by any Person in redemption of any benefits accrued under the Starwood Preferred Guest program. This Section 8.5 shall survive the Closing.
8.6 Tax Contests.
     8.6.1. Taxable Period Terminating Prior to Closing Date.

This Section 8.6.1 shall survive the Closing.
     8.6.2. Taxable Period Including the Closing Date. Seller and/or Operating Tenant, as the case may be, shall have the right to commence, continue and settle any proceeding to contest any Taxes for any taxable period which includes the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Purchaser desires to contest any Taxes for such taxable period and Seller (or Operating Tenant) has not commenced any proceeding to contest any such Taxes for such taxable period, Purchaser shall provide written notice requesting that Seller or Operating Tenant, as the case may be, contest such Taxes. If Seller or Operating Tenant, as the case may be, desires to contest such Taxes, Seller shall provide written notice to Purchaser within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Purchaser’s request confirming that Seller or Operating Tenant, as the case may be, will contest such Taxes, in which case Seller or Operating Tenant, as the case may be, shall proceed to contest such Taxes, and Purchaser shall not have the right to contest such Taxes. If Seller fails to provide such written notice confirming that Seller (or Operating Tenant) will contest such Taxes within such fifteen (15) day period, Purchaser shall have the right to contest such Taxes. Any refunds or abatements awarded in such proceedings shall be used first to reimburse the Party contesting such Taxes for the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such Party in contesting such Taxes, and the remainder of such refunds or abatements

13.1 Seller’s Default. If, at or any time prior to Closing, any Starwood Entity fails to perform its covenants or obligations under this Agreement in any material respect (a “Seller Default”), and no Purchaser Default has occurred which remains uncured, then Purchaser, as its sole and exclusive remedies, may elect to (a) terminate this Agreement, in which case the Earnest Money shall be refunded to Purchaser in accordance with Section 3.2.4, and, if the Seller Default was intentional with the purpose of not consummating the transaction described in this Agreement, receive reimbursement from Seller for Purchaser’s out of pocket expenses actually incurred in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, not to exceed Two Hundred Thousand and No/Dollars ($200,000.00), provided Purchaser provides documentation reasonably satisfactory to Seller evidencing the nature and amount of such out of pocket expenses, and, in any case, the Parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except those which expressly survive such termination; (b) proceed to Closing without any reduction in or setoff against the Purchase Price, in which case Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived such Seller Default; or (c) seek to obtain a court order for specific performance. Prior to seeking any order for specific performance or filing any lis pendens against the Property, Purchaser must first be able to demonstrate that Purchaser is ready, willing and able to fully perform and must tender such performance under the terms of this Agreement.
13.2 Seller’s Right to Cure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser shall not have the right to exercise its remedies under clauses (a) or (c) of Section 13.1 for a Seller Default or Section 9.2.2 for a failure of a Purchaser Closing Condition (a “Purchaser Closing Condition Failure”), unless Purchaser has provided written notice to Seller specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the Seller Default or Purchaser Closing Condition Failure (as the case may be), and Seller has not cured such Seller Default or Purchaser Closing Condition Failure (as the case may be) within thirty (30) days after Seller’s receipt of such notice (the “Seller Cure Period”), in which case the Closing shall be postponed until the date which is five (5) Business Days after the expiration of the Seller Cure Period.

55


 

from and against any Indemnification Loss incurred by any Purchaser Indemnitees as a result of the events or circumstances on which such Seller Default or Purchaser Closing Condition Failure is based, in which case Section 15.2 shall be amended at Closing to provide for such indemnification by Seller, and Purchaser shall proceed to Closing without any reduction in or setoff against the Purchase Price.
13.3 Purchaser’s Default. If, at any time prior to Closing, Purchaser fails to perform any of its other covenants or obligations under this Agreement in any material respect which breach or default is not caused by a Seller Default (a “Purchaser Default”), then Seller, as its sole and exclusive remedy, may elect to (A) terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to Purchaser, in which case the Earnest Money shall be disbursed to Seller in accordance with Section 3.2.3, and the Parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except those which expressly survive such termination, or (B) proceed to Closing pursuant to this Agreement, in which case Seller shall be deemed to have waived such Purchaser Default.

13.5 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT IF THIS AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED PURSUANT TO SECTION 13.3 HEREOF, THE DAMAGES THAT SELLER WOULD SUSTAIN AS A RESULT OF SUCH TERMINATION WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN. ACCORDINGLY, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT SELLER SHALL RETAIN THE EARNEST MONEY AS FULL AND COMPLETE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES (AND NOT AS A PENALTY) AS SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR SUCH TERMINATION; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT IN ADDITION TO THE EARNEST MONEY, SELLER SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THOSE OBLIGATIONS OF PURCHASER WHICH EXPRESSLY SURVIVE SUCH TERMINATION. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE RETENTION OF THE EARNEST MONEY AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 3275 OR 3369, BUT IS INTENDED TO

56


 

CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 1671, 1676 AND 1677.

The Indemnitee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to realize any tax benefit, collect any insurance proceeds or obtain any third party reimbursement with respect to such Indemnification Claim, and if such tax benefits, insurance proceeds or reimbursement are realized or obtained by the Indemnitee after the Indemnitor has paid any amount in respect of an Indemnification Loss to the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall reimburse the amount realized or collected by the Indemnitee up to the amount received from the Indemnitor for such Indemnification Loss.
     15.4.5. Negligence or Willful Misconduct of Indemnitee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) a Purchaser Indemnitee shall not be entitled to defense or indemnification to the extent the applicable Indemnification Loss results from the negligence or willful misconduct of, or breach of this Agreement by, any

60


 

Purchaser Indemnitee, and (ii) a Seller Indemnitee shall not be entitled to defense or indemnification to the extent the applicable Indemnification Loss results from the negligence or willful misconduct of, or breach of this Agreement by, any Seller Indemnitee.
     15.4.6. WAIVER OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT OR UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, SELLER (FOR ITSELF AND ALL SELLER INDEMNITEES) AND PURCHASER (FOR ITSELF AND ALL PURCHASER INDEMNITEES) HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE AND DISCLAIM ALL RIGHTS TO CLAIM OR SEEK ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, STATUTORY OR TREBLE DAMAGES AND ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE RIGHTS AND REMEDIES IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE ADEQUATE IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES FOR ANY CLAIMS THE PARTIES (OR ANY INDEMNITEE) MIGHT HAVE WITH RESPECT THERETO.
15.5 Indemnification Procedure
     15.5.1. Notice of Indemnification Claim. If any of the Seller Indemnitees or Purchaser Indemnitees (as the case may be) (each, an “Indemnitee”) is entitled to defense or indemnification under Section 4.1.4, 8.8, 12.1, 12.2, 15.2 or 15.3 or any other express provision in this Agreement (each, an “Indemnification Claim”), the Party required to provide defense or indemnification to such Indemnitee (the “Indemnitor”) shall not be obligated to defend, indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnitee unless and until such Indemnitee provides written notice to such Indemnitor promptly after such Indemnitee has actual knowledge of any facts or circumstances on which such Indemnification Claim is based or a Third-Party Claim is made on which such Indemnification Claim is based, describing in reasonable detail such facts and circumstances or Third-Party Claim with respect to such Indemnification Claim.
     15.5.2. Resolution of Indemnification Claim Not Involving Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnification Claim does not involve a Third-Party Claim and is disputed by the Indemnitor, the dispute shall be resolved by litigation or other means of alternative dispute resolution as the Parties may agree in writing.
     15.5.3. Resolution of Indemnification Claim Involving Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnification Claim involves a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitor shall have the right (but not the obligation) to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, at its cost and expense, and shall use good faith efforts consistent with prudent business judgment to defend such Third-Party Claim, provided that (i) the counsel for the Indemnitor who shall conduct the defense of the Third-Party Claim shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee (unless selected by Indemnitor’s insurance company), (ii) the Indemnitee, at its cost and expense, may participate in, but shall not control, the defense of such Third-Party Claim, and (iii) the Indemnitor shall not enter into any settlement or other agreement which requires any performance by the Indemnitee, other than the payment of money which shall be paid by the Indemnitor. The Indemnitee shall not enter into any settlement or other agreement with respect to the Indemnification Claim, without the

61


 

Indemnitor’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Indemnitor’s sole discretion. If the Indemnitor elects not to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall have the right to retain the defense of such Third-Party Claim and shall use good faith efforts consistent with prudent business judgment to defend such Third-Party Claim in an effective and cost efficient manner.
     15.5.4. Accrual of Indemnification Obligation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall have no right to indemnification against the Indemnitor for any Indemnification Claim which (i) does not involve a Third-Party Claim but is disputed by Indemnitor until such time as such dispute is resolved by written agreement or other means as the Parties otherwise may agree in writing, or (ii) which involves a Third-Party Claim until such time as such Third-Party Claim is concluded, including any appeals with respect thereto.
15.6 Exclusive Remedy for Indemnification Loss. Except for claims based on fraud, the indemnification provisions in this ARTICLE XV shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of any Indemnitee with respect to any claim for Indemnification Loss arising from or in connection with this Agreement.

Exhibit A
FORM OF EARNEST MONEY ESCROW AGREEMENT
     THIS EARNEST MONEY ESCROW AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of this ____ day of _______________________ (the “Effective Date”), by and among STARWOOD CMBS I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, (“Seller”), BRUINS OWNER LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Purchaser”), and STEWART TITLE COMPANY (“Escrow Agent”). (Seller, Purchaser and Escrow Agent are sometimes referred to herein individually as a “Party”, and collectively as the “Parties”).
     WHEREAS, Seller and Purchaser are parties to that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of ____________, 2011 (the “Purchase Agreement”), for the sale and purchase of the hotel facility located at 910 Broadway Circle, San Diego, CA 92101, and commonly known as The Westin Gaslamp Quarter, San Diego (the “Hotel”). (All initial capitalized terms used, but not defined, in this Agreement shall have the meaning set forth in the Purchase Agreement.)
     WHEREAS, Purchaser is required to deposit certain monies into escrow with Escrow Agent to be held as earnest money for the benefit of Seller pursuant to the Purchase Agreement in connection with the purchase of the Hotel.
     WHEREAS, Escrow Agent is willing to hold such earnest money in escrow, and invest and disburse such earnest money, on the terms set forth in this Agreement.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
     1. Deposit and Investment of Earnest Money
          (a) Deposit and Acceptance of Earnest Money. By its execution and delivery of this Agreement to Seller and Purchaser, Escrow Agent hereby acknowledges that it has received from Purchaser the amount of Five Million Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($5,500,000.00) (the “Earnest Money”).
          (b) Escrow Account. Escrow Agent shall hold the Earnest Money in a separate escrow account identified as account no. __________ (the “Escrow Account”) for the benefit of Seller and Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, and shall not commingle the Earnest Money with any other third-party deposits or its own funds.
          (c) Investment of Earnest Money. The Earnest Money or any portion thereof shall be invested in any investment selected by Purchaser and approved by Seller in writing, which approval may be withheld in Seller’s reasonable discretion; provided, however, that Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to invest the Earnest Money or any portion thereof pursuant to this Section 1(c) until both Seller and Purchaser (i) provide their respective federal tax identification number to Escrow Agent, and (ii) execute and deliver to Escrow Agent any investment forms or direction letters reasonably requested by Escrow Agent. All interest and

A-1


 

other amounts earned on the Earnest Money shall constitute additional Earnest Money for all purposes in this Agreement. Purchaser shall bear the risk of loss of the Earnest Money, except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence, willful default, intentional misconduct or breach of trust by Escrow Agent, its managers, officers, employees or agents.
     2. Disbursement of Earnest Money.
          (a) Disbursement at Closing. At Closing, Escrow Agent shall disburse the Earnest Money to Seller or to any other Person to whom Seller directs the Earnest Money to be disbursed by providing written notice to Escrow Agent.
          (b) Disbursement if Closing Not Consummated
               (i) If the Purchase Agreement is terminated for any reason or if Seller or Purchaser otherwise is entitled to receive the Earnest Money pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, either Seller or Purchaser (as the case may be) (the “Requesting Party”) may provide written notice to Escrow Agent that the Purchase Agreement has been terminated or that Seller or Purchaser (as the case may be) otherwise is entitled to receive the Earnest Money pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and that the Earnest Money is to be distributed in accordance with the instructions given in such notice (a “Disbursement Request”). Escrow Agent shall provide written notice (the “Receipt Notice”) to the other Party (the “Confirming Party”) of its receipt of such Disbursement Request (together with a copy of the Disbursement Request) no later than two (2) Business Days after its receipt of such Disbursement Request.)
               (ii) If the Confirming Party disputes that the Requesting Party is entitled to receive the Earnest Money, the Confirming Party shall provide written notice to Escrow Agent within ten (10) Business Days after its receipt of the Receipt Notice disputing that the Requesting Party is entitled to receive the Earnest Money (a “Dispute Notice”). If Escrow Agent has not received a Dispute Notice from the Confirming Party within such ten (10) Business Day period, the Confirming Party shall be deemed to have authorized the disbursement set forth in the Disbursement Request, and Escrow Agent shall disburse the Earnest Money pursuant to the instructions set forth in the Disbursement Request. If Escrow Agent receives a Dispute Notice within such ten (10) Business Day period, Escrow Agent shall retain the Earnest Money in the Escrow Account pending receipt of separate written direction from each Seller and Purchaser authorizing the disbursement of the Earnest Money to the same Person as provided in this Section 2, or a final unappealable order of court with respect to distribution of the Earnest Money. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Escrow Agent receives contrary written directions from Seller and Purchaser or no written directions within six (6) months after the Effective Date, Escrow Agent shall have the right to deposit the Earnest Money with any court of competent jurisdiction in California and interplead Seller and Purchaser. Upon depositing the Earnest Money and filing its complaint in interpleader, Escrow Agent shall be released from all liability under this Agreement regarding the Earnest Money, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.
     3. Escrow Fees. All fees, costs and expenses of the Escrow Agent with respect to the escrow established pursuant to this Agreement (the “Escrow Fees”) shall be shared equally between Seller and Purchaser, except that Purchaser shall pay any Escrow Fees with respect to

A-2


 

the investment of the Earnest Money. All such Escrow Fees shall be due and payable upon the earlier of: (i) the disbursement of the Earnest Money, or (ii) the deposit of the Earnest Money by Escrow Agent with a court of competent jurisdiction as set forth in Section 2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Escrow Agent shall waive all Escrow Fees if the Closing is consummated through an escrow closing transaction with Escrow Agent, and Escrow Agent or its Affiliate issues the Title Policy described in the Purchase Agreement.
     4. Compliance with Court Orders. Seller and Purchaser hereby acknowledge that Escrow Agent may accept, obey and comply with any and all writs, orders, judgments or decrees issued or entered by any court with or without jurisdiction (a “Court Order”), in which case, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall not be liable to Seller or Purchaser by reason of such acceptance, obedience or compliance, regardless of whether such Court Order is subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated.
     5. Release and Indemnification. Seller and Purchaser hereby release Escrow Agent and its officers, managers, employees and agents (each, an “Escrow Agent Party”), for any liability, damage, loss, cost or expense incurred by Seller or Purchaser to the extent resulting from (i) any action taken or not taken in good faith upon advice of Escrow Agent’s counsel given with respect to any questions relating to its obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) any action taken or not taken in reliance upon any document, including any written notice provided to Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement, as to the due execution and the validity and effectiveness of such document, and the truth and accuracy of any information contained therein, which such Escrow Agent Party in good faith believes to be genuine, to have been signed or presented by a duly authorized person or persons and to comply with the terms of the Purchase Agreement and this Agreement, except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence, willful default, intentional misconduct or breach of trust by such Escrow Agent Party. Seller and Purchaser, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless any Escrow Agent Party against any liability, damage, loss, cost or expense, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and court costs, incurred by such Escrow Agent Party to the extent resulting from the performance by any Escrow Agent Party of Escrow Agent’s obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence, willful default, intentional misconduct or breach of trust by such Escrow Agent Party.
     6. Relationship of Parties. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that Escrow Agent is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request, and that Escrow Agent shall not be deemed to be the agent of either Seller or Purchaser.
     7. Notices
          (a) Method of Delivery. All notices, requests, demands and other communications (each, a “Notice”) required to be provided by any Party to any other Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered (i) in person, (ii) by certified U.S. mail, with postage prepaid and return receipt requested, (iii) by overnight courier service, or (iv) by facsimile transmittal, with a verification copy sent on the same day by any of the methods set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), to the other Party to this Agreement at the following address or facsimile number (or to such other address or facsimile number as the Parties may designate from time to time pursuant to Section 7(c)):

GENERAL PROVISIONS
TAXES: Escrow Agent is not to be concerned as to any unpaid beverage, unemployment, social security, personal property, sales tax, or any other tax or contribution, any federal liens, or any unpaid salaries or wages, unless otherwise specifically instructed in this escrow. SHOULD ESCROW AGENT BE DIRECTED AND INSTRUCTED IN THESE INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE ANY SUCH PAYMENT, SAME MAY OR MAY NOT CONSTITUTE FULL OR FINAL PAYMENT THEREOF.
OTHER AGREEMENTS: Unless otherwise provided herein, Escrow Agent is not to be concerned with any conditional sales contract, lease contract or security agreement that may affect the herein referred to personal property, and is not responsible for the delivery of any papers other than described herein. Escrow Agent is not a party to, or bound by any agreement which may be deposited under, evidenced by, or arise out of these instructions, other than these instructions.
AGENCY RESPONSIBILITY: Escrow Agent is to make no examination of the property nor of the title thereto; Escrow Agent acts as a depositary only and is not responsible or liable in any manner whatever for the sufficiency, correctness, genuineness or validity of any instrument deposited with it hereunder, or with respect to form or execution of the same, or the identity, authority, or right of any person executing or depositing the same.
DEFAULTS: Escrow Agent shall not be required to take or be bound by notice of any default of any person, or to take any action with respect to such default involving any expense or liability, unless notice in writing is given to the Escrow Agent at the office above named, of such default by the undersigned or any of them, and unless it is indemnified in a manner satisfactory to it against such expense or liability. These instructions shall not be subject to revision or modification except upon receipt by Escrow Agent at the office above named of the written instructions of all of the parties hereto or their successors in interest. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event approval of the transfer of the License by the ABC has not occurred by the date that is 180 days after the date of these instructions, Intended Transferee shall be deemed in default hereunder and Escrow Agent shall immediately disburse the purchase price to Transferor as Transferor’s sole and exclusive remedy for such default, and upon such disbursement, this escrow shall be deemed cancelled.

B-4


 

THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT IF INTENDED TRANSFEREE IS DEEMED IN DEFAULT AS PROVIDED HEREIN, THE DAMAGES THAT TRANSFEROR WOULD SUSTAIN AS A RESULT OF SUCH DEFAULT WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN. ACCORDINGLY, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT TRANSFEROR SHALL RETAIN THE PURCHASE PRICE AS FULL AND COMPLETE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES (AND NOT AS A PENALTY) AS TRANSFEROR’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR SUCH DEFAULT. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE RETENTION OF THE PURCHASE PRICE AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 3275 OR 3369, BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO TRANSFEROR PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 1671, 1676 AND 1677.
NOTICES: Escrow Agent shall be protected in acting upon any notice, request, waiver, consent, receipt or other paper or document believed by Escrow Agent to be signed by the proper party or parties.
JUDGMENT: Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it in good faith or for any mistake of fact or law, or for anything which it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith, except its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, and Escrow Agent shall have no duties to anyone except those signing these instructions.
COUNSEL: Escrow Agent may advise with legal counsel in the event of any dispute or questions as to the construction of the foregoing instructions, or Escrow Agent’s duties thereunder, and Escrow Agent shall incur no liability and shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with the opinion and instructions of counsel.
DISAGREEMENTS: In the event of any disagreement between the undersigned or any of them, and/or the person or persons named in the foregoing instructions, and/or any other person, resulting in adverse claims and demands being made in connection with or for any papers, money or property involved herein or affected hereby, Escrow Agent shall be entitled at its option to refuse to comply with any such claim or demand, so long as such disagreement shall continue, and in doing so doing Escrow Agent shall not be or become liable for damages or interest to the undersigned or any of them or to any person named in the foregoing instructions for its failure or refusal to comply with such conflicting or adverse demands, and Escrow Agent shall be entitled to continue to refrain and refuse so to act until;

B-5


 

     1. the rights of the adverse claimants have been finally adjudicated in a court assuming and having jurisdiction of the parties and the money, papers, and property involved herein or affected hereby; and/or
     2. all differences shall have been adjusted by agreement and Escrow Agent shall have been notified thereof in writing, signed by all of the persons interested.
In the event of such disagreement, Escrow Agent in its discretion, may file a suit in interpleader for the purpose of having the respective rights of the claimants adjudicated, and deposit with the court all documents and property held hereunder, and the undersigned agree to pay all reasonable costs and counsel fees incurred by Escrow Agent in such action and said costs and fees shall be included in the judgment in any such action.
FEES AND CHARGES: In the event that Escrow Agent performs any service not specifically provided hereinabove, or that there is any assignment or attachment of any interest in the subject matter of this escrow or modifications thereof, or that any controversy arises hereunder, or that Escrow Agent is made a party to, or intervenes in, any litigation pertaining to this escrow or the subject matter thereof, Escrow Agent shall be reasonably compensated therefor and reimbursed for all costs and expenses occasioned thereby. Escrow Agent shall have a first lien on the property and papers held by it hereunder for such compensation and expenses, and the parties hereto agree jointly and severally to pay the same, and to indemnify Escrow Agent against any loss, liability or expense incurred in any act or thing done hereunder.
For its ordinary services hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to an initial fee of $____________ which is Non-refundable, payable concurrently with its acceptance hereof, by Intended Transferee and to additional compensation, if applicable, paid by Transferor as follows:
     Federal Express fees will be in addition to the escrow fee.
     $15.00 for each claim in excess of three (3) paid through escrow
     $50.00 for each disputed claim of Transferor

B-6


 

CANCELLATION: In the event this escrow is cancelled, Transferor or Intended Transferee will nevertheless pay the escrow fees plus all costs and expenses of Escrow Agent. Notwithstanding anything in these instructions to the contrary, Escrow Agent may, at his discretion, resign at any time prior to receipt of written notice from the ABC that the license(s) has been transferred by giving five (5) days written notice to the ABC and parties hereto, and shall be entitled to reimbursement only for those costs and expenses incurred by Escrow Agent to the date of such resignation. Upon cancellation by the parties or resignation of Escrow Agent, after deducting Escrow Agent’s fees and/or costs or expenses, the balance of funds and documents shall be returned to the parties who shall have deposited the same, except as otherwise provided in the “DEFAULTS” section above.
SIGNATURES: These instructions may be executed in counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed an original, irrespective of the date of its execution and delivery; and said counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
Each of the undersigned states he has read the foregoing instructions, understands and agrees to them.
DEPOSITS. All funds received in the escrow shall be deposited with other escrow funds in a non-interest bearing general escrow account or accounts of COMMERCIAL BANK, unless otherwise instructed verbally or in written form.
