With respect to any closing statements amounts or issues relating to prorations that are not agreed upon at Closing, the Seller and the Purchaser shall thereafter work in good faith to resolve such amounts or issues; provided that if such amounts or issues are not fully agreed upon and paid within sixty (60) days after the Closing, then, in such event, at the election of either Seller or Purchaser such amounts or issues shall be submitted to an independent certified public accountant with a hospitality practice reasonably acceptable to the Seller and the Purchaser for final resolution, and the Seller and the Purchaser agree to be bound by the determination of such accountant.  The costs and expenses incurred in connection with the services of such accountant shall be borne equally by the Seller and the Purchaser.  The provisions of this Section 6.6 shall survive the Closing.

6.8  Inventory of Baggage.  The representatives of the Seller and/or the Manager, and of the Purchaser shall prepare an inventory of baggage at the Hotel as of 12:00 noon on the Closing Date (which inventory of baggage shall be binding on all parties thereto) of (a) all luggage, valises and trunks checked or left in the care of the Hotel by guests then or formerly in the Hotel, (b) parcels, laundry, valet packages and other property of guests checked or left in the care of the Hotel by guests then or formerly in the Hotel (excluding, however, property in Hotel safe deposit boxes), (c) all luggage or other property of guests retained by Seller as security for any unpaid accounts receivable, and (d) all items contained in the Hotel lost and found.  The Purchaser shall be responsible from and after the Closing Date for all baggage and other items listed in such inventory of baggage, and the Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold the Seller and the Manager harmless from and against any claim liability, cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Seller or the Manager or any Affiliate thereof with respect thereto arising after the Closing Date.  The Seller hereby agrees to hold the Purchaser harmless from any other liability or claims with respect to such inventory of baggage arising prior to the Closing Date.  The provisions of this Section 6.8 shall survive the Closing.

6.9  Accounts Receivable. It is expressly agreed by and between Purchaser and Seller that Seller is not hereby agreeing to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser is not hereby agreeing to purchase from Seller, any of Seller’s accounts receivable.

At the Closing, Seller shall prepare a list of its outstanding accounts receivable as of midnight on the date prior to the Closing, specifying the name of each account and the amount due to Seller. Purchaser shall hold any funds received by Purchaser explicitly designated as payment of such accounts receivable, if Purchaser actually receives any such amounts, and shall pay the monies collected in respect thereof to Seller at the end of each calendar month, accompanied by a statement showing the amount collected on each such account. Other than the foregoing, Purchaser shall have no obligation with respect to any such account, and Purchaser shall not be required to take any legal proceeding or action to effect collection on behalf of Seller. It is generally the intention of Purchaser and Seller that although all of Seller’s accounts receivable shall be and remain the property of Seller, if any such accounts are paid to Purchaser, then Purchaser shall collect same and remit to Seller in the manner above provided. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring Purchaser to remit to Seller any funds collected by Purchaser on account of Purchaser’s accounts receivable generated from Hotel operations after the Closing, even if the person or entity paying same is also indebted to Seller.

22

 
6.12  Payment of Manager Termination Fee.  In conjunction with the Purchaser’s acquisition of the Property and notwithstanding the Purchaser’s assumption of the Management Agreement, Seller and the Purchaser acknowledge and agree that Manager has agreed to terminate the Management Agreement on or before September 14, 2012.  Seller hereby covenants and agrees to satisfy, or cause the satisfaction of, any and all obligations and requirements necessary to obtain Manager’s release of a fully effective and binding Assignment and Assumption Agreement on August 20, 2012, and approval of the termination of the Management Agreement, including, without limitation, delivery of the payment to Manager on August 20, 2012, of the Franchise Termination Fee identified in Section 2.2(b) above and any other sums required by Manager from Seller or any Affiliates of Seller (the “Manager Termination Payment”); provided, however, the Seller shall not be responsible for the failure of Purchaser to satisfy any of Manager’s requirements of the Purchaser in order to obtain Manager’s release of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement and approval of the termination of the Management Agreement.

9.18  Assignment by Purchaser.  Other than to an Affiliate of the Purchaser, the Purchaser may not assign its rights hereunder without the prior consent of Seller; however, any such assignment (including one to the Purchaser's Affiliate) shall not relieve the Purchaser of its pre-Closing obligations under this Agreement.
 
9.19  Waiver.  The excuse or waiver of the performance by a party of any obligation of the other party under this Agreement shall only be effective if evidenced by a written statement signed by the party so excusing or waiving.  No delay in exercising any right or remedy shall constitute a waiver thereof, and no waiver by Seller or Purchaser of the breach of any covenant of this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other covenant or condition of this Agreement.

9.21  Confidentiality.  Purchaser acknowledges that the existence of the transaction described herein and any documents, materials, instruments, records or other information delivered by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement (“Information”), shall be kept confidential by Purchaser, will not be used for any purpose other than in connection with Purchaser’s due diligence, and Purchaser shall neither disclose nor allow the disclosure of the Information or the existence of the transaction to anyone other than Purchaser’s Parties as are appropriate in order to conduct its due diligence.   Except for any disclosures required by law, prior to the Closing, Seller and the Purchaser agree to keep this Agreement confidential and not disclose or make any public announcements with respect to the subject matter hereof without the consent of the other party; provided, however, either party may make disclosures (i) to Escrow Agent, the Title Company, governmental agencies and its advisors, lenders, attorneys, accountants and investors to the extent reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions set forth herein, or (ii) otherwise to comply with applicable securities laws as determined by such party.
