Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or otherwise affect Beacon’s ability to recover damages from any party if Buyer or NHS terminates, or causes to be terminated, the Sub-Management Agreement for any reason prior to the end of the 2021 Calculation Period, or Buyer or NHS otherwise breach the terms of the Sub-Management Agreement. In addition, Seller shall not be entitled to recover any liquidated damages under this Section 9.3 if Seller elects to receive and receives from Buyer a Value Lock Premium Amount pursuant to the terms of Exhibit 2.2.

c. Buyer will, and shall cause NHS to, use commercially reasonable efforts to finalize a form of the Sub-Management Agreement prior to the expiration of the Review Period.

c. Seller agrees that as a condition of payment of the Value Lock Premium Amount, Beacon must not have committed a material breach of the Sub-Management Agreement, and if parties choose to pursue litigation to enforce a breach, then as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction; and, Beacon will have been given the opportunity to cure such breach in accordance with the terms of the Sub-Management Agreement.

10.3 Accuracy of Representations and Warranties; Satisfaction of Conditions. Seller will immediately advise Buyer in writing if (1) any of Seller’s representations or warranties are untrue or incorrect in any material respect or (2) Seller becomes aware of the occurrence of any event that results in any of the representations and warranties of Seller being untrue or incorrect in any material respect as if Seller was then making them.

1. At Buyer’s option, and at Buyer’s expense, Buyer may obtain (1) new or updated Surveys for the Real Estate certified to Buyer so that Buyer may rely on same, and/or (2) new or updated Phase I Environmental Site Assessments for the Real Estate certified to Buyer so that Buyer may rely on same, and/or (3) certification of the existing Environmental Site Assessments to Buyer.

15. Damage or Destruction; Condemnation.

(a) Termination Rights. If, prior to Closing, all or a material part of any Real Estate is damaged, destroyed or taken by eminent domain (a “Casualty”), then Seller shall promptly notify Buyer thereof and either Seller or Buyer shall have the right, at its election, to terminate this Agreement, by written notice given to the other party on or before the Closing Date. If a Casualty occurs fewer than ten (10) days before the Closing Date, Buyer shall have the right to extend the Closing Date until the 15th Business Day after the occurrence of such Casualty in order to make the election permitted by this Section 10.5(a). If Seller or Buyer so terminates this Agreement, then the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Buyer and all rights and obligations of Seller and Buyer under this Agreement shall terminate (other than those that expressly survive termination of this Agreement).

(b) If No Termination. If a Casualty occurs and neither party terminates this Agreement, this Agreement shall continue in force and, upon Closing, Buyer shall receive:

(i) a credit against the Purchase Price equal to (A) the amount, if any, of insurance proceeds received by Seller prior to Closing in connection with such Casualty, plus (B) the “deductible” or self-retained limit under the property hazard insurance covering the Property, minus (C) the amount (if any) actually expended by Seller to repair, restore or replace the damaged portions of the Property; and

(ii) an assignment of Seller’s rights to all insurance proceeds which may then be or thereafter become payable.

(c) Materiality. For purposes of this Section 15, a Casualty shall be deemed to affect a material part of the Real Estate if: (A) such Casualty results in the taking or other permanent loss of all or any portion of the hotel utilized in the Business, or of at least ten percent (10%) of the parking which serves the Property or impairs the access way to the hotel or any other portion of the Real Estate or (B) such Casualty results in damage which will cost more than $100,000 (or, if less, more than $25,000 in excess of available insurance proceeds) or, if materially impairing the operations of the Business, will require more than 30 days, to repair or replace.

16. Closing.

16.1 Closing Date. Unless otherwise agreed, the Closing shall be held on or before the 15th day after the expiration of the Review Period (the “Closing Date”), Parties will extend closing as necessary for Buyer to assume the Seller’s loan pursuant to paragraph 10.6.

16.2 Closing Location. The Closing shall be held on the Closing Date at the offices of an attorney or title company or at such other location as may be agreed on by the Parties.

16.3 Documents. Seller shall be responsible for preparing the closing documents and delivering them to Buyer at least 5 days before the Closing Date for Buyer’s review and approval.

17.1 Default by Buyer. In the event the Closing and the consummation of the transactions at Closing herein contemplated do not occur as herein provided by reason of any default of Buyer, Buyer and Seller agree that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to estimate the damages which Seller may suffer. Therefore, Buyer and Seller do hereby agree that the Earnest Money Deposit constitutes a reasonable estimate of the total damages that Seller would suffer in the event that Buyer defaults or fails to complete the purchase of the Property. Therefore, the Earnest Money Deposit shall be immediately delivered to Seller and shall be Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy (whether at law or in equity). Said amount shall be the full, agreed and liquidated damages for the failure of Buyer to close and consummate the transactions herein contemplated.

17.2 Default by Seller. In the event the closing and the consummation of the transaction herein contemplated does not occur as herein provided by reason of any default of Seller, Buyer and Seller agree that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to estimate the damages which Buyer may suffer. Therefore, Buyer and Seller do hereby agree that, in the event of such default, Buyer may, as its sole recourse and remedy (at law and/or in equity), either (a) pursue an action against Seller for specific performance or (b) receive the return of the Earnest Money Deposit (except for any portion of the Initial Earnest Money Deposit that is nonrefundable).

18. Miscellaneous.

18.2 Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of North Carolina.

Neither Party nor their respective legal counsel shall be construed to be the drafter or primary drafter of this Agreement. In the event of any dispute regarding the construction of this Agreement or any of its provisions, ambiguities or questions of interpretation shall not be construed more in favor of one Party than the other; rather, questions of interpretation shall be construed equally as to each Party.

18.8 Consent. Unless otherwise provided, any required consent of a Party shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed by such Party.

EXHIBIT 2.2

Additional Purchase Price

(a) Value Lock Premium Amount. As additional Purchase Price for the Purchased Assets, on the terms and conditions as set forth in Section 2.2 and this Exhibit 2.2, the Seller shall be eligible to receive, from the Buyer, the Value Lock Premium Amount, if any, as such amount is determined in accordance with the provisions of this Exhibit 2.2.

(b) Defined Terms. The following terms shall have the following meanings:

“2021 Calculation Period” means the period beginning on April 1, 2020 and ending on and including March 31, 2021.

“2022 Calculation Period” means the period beginning on April 1, 2021 and ending on and including March 31, 2022.

“2023 Calculation Period” means the period beginning on April 1, 2020 and ending on and including March 31, 2023.

“Applicable Cap Rate” means (i) if the 2021 Calculation Period is the Selected Calculation Period, 9.82%; (ii) if the 2022 Calculation Period is the Selected Calculation Period, 10.07%; or (iii) if the 2023 Calculation Period is the Selected Calculation Period, 10.32%.

“Calculation Periods” means, collectively, the 2021 Calculation Period, the 2022 Calculation Period and the 2023 Calculation Period, and each is individually referred to herein as a “Calculation Period”.

“NOI” means, for any Calculation Period, the gross revenues for the Business, including (without limitation) all revenues from rooms, conference rooms, banquet rooms, parking, shops, food and beverage and miscellaneous revenues, LESS the sum of (i) management fees equal to 3% of gross revenues, plus (ii) the operating expenses of the Business, which operating expenses shall exclude the following: (A) any noncash expenses such as depreciation and amortization, (B) income and franchise taxes, (C) interest and any other debt related charges, (D) amounts deposited into reserve accounts, provided that, an amount equal to four percent (4%) of the gross revenues for the Calculation Period shall be allowed as a replacement reserve expense, (E) all management fees in excess of the amount described in clause (i) above, (F) expenses charged by any affiliate of Buyer such as any party which directly or indirectly controls, is under common control or has any common ownership with Buyer, but only to the extent the aggregate amount of such expenses exceeds $16,000 for such Calculation Period, (G) any expenditure or series of expenditures for any item, improvement, repair or replacement with a cost in excess of $5,000 and (H) any extraordinary items, all as determined on an accrual basis of accounting. The NOI shall be calculated consistently with the calculation of Seller’s “EBITDA” on Annex A. For any Calculation Period during which (i) gross revenues exceed the gross revenues for the same trailing twelve month period for the prior calendar year by more than fifteen percent (15%) and (ii) a natural catastrophe or other significant casualty has occurred in the Pineville, North Carolina area during such Calculation Period, in either case resulting in the displacement of at least 1,000

residents, then solely for purposes of calculating the NOI and the Value Lock Premium Amount for such Calculation Period, the gross revenues shall not exceed 115% of gross revenues for the same trailing twelve month period for the prior calendar year.

“Base NOI” means One Million Three Hundred and Seventy Six Thousand Five Hundred and Eighty Four Dollars ($1,376,584.00).

“Value Lock Premium Amount” means an amount equal to the quotient of (a) an amount equal to (i) the NOI for the Selected Calculation Period, minus (ii) the Base NOI (with the amount determined under this clause (a) not being less than zero dollars $0); divided by (b) the Applicable Cap Rate.

(i) Within thirty (30) days following the end of each Calculation Period, Buyer will prepare and deliver to Beacon and Seller, a statement setting forth and calculating, in reasonable detail, the NOI for such Calculation Period (each such statement being a “NOI Calculation”). The NOI Calculation for each Calculation Period shall be accompanied by any information reasonably necessary for the Seller and Beacon to confirm such NOI Calculation. Within the thirty (30) day period following the Seller’s receipt of each NOI Calculation (the “Objection Period”), the Seller will, in a written notice to the Buyer, either accept the NOI Calculation or, in the event that the Seller believes that the applicable NOI was not determined in accordance with the terms of this Exhibit 2.2, describe in reasonable detail any proposed adjustments to the applicable NOI Calculation which the Seller believes should be made and the basis therefor. If the Seller notifies the Buyer that it is in agreement with the applicable NOI Calculation or does not notify the Buyer of any proposed adjustments within the applicable Objection Period, then the Seller will be deemed to have accepted such NOI Calculation and such NOI Calculation shall be deemed final for such Calculation Period.

(ii) If the Seller notifies the Buyer of any proposed adjustments to the applicable NOI Calculation during the applicable Objection Period, the parties will negotiate in good faith to resolve any dispute over such NOI Calculation, provided that if all disputes are not resolved within thirty (30) days following receipt by the Buyer of the Seller’s proposed adjustments, the Buyer and the Seller will jointly select (or, if the Buyer and the Seller are unable to agree, the parties will request that the American Arbitration Association select) an independent accounting firm which has not had a material relationship with the Buyer, the Seller or any of their respective affiliates within the two (2) year period preceding such selection (the “Accounting Firm”) to resolve any remaining dispute, which resolution will be final. The Accounting Firm will be instructed to delivers its written determination within thirty (30) days following its appointment. The Accounting Firm will address only those items in dispute and may not assign a value greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the lowest value for such item claimed by either party. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm and, if applicable, the American Arbitration Association will be shared by the parties in proportion to the percentage of the dispute amount determined to be for the account of the Seller and the Buyer, respectively.

(d) Payment of Value Lock Premium Amount. At any time during the period beginning April 1, 2021 through the thirtieth (30th) day following the final determination of the NOI for all Calculation Periods pursuant to paragraph (c) above, Seller, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to select the Calculation Period for which the Value Lock Premium Amount shall be determined and paid by Buyer to Seller (the Calculation Period chosen by Seller is referred to herein as the “Selected Calculation Period). Seller may only select one Selected Calculation Period to determine the Value Lock Premium Amount. By way of example, Seller may select the 2021 Calculation Period as the Selected Calculation Period to calculate the Value Lock Premium Amount at any time on or after April 30, 2021, in which case Seller would not be able to select either the 2022 Calculation Period or the 2023 Calculation Period as the Selected Calculation Period to determine the Value Lock Premium Amount. Seller shall elect the Selected Calculation Period for the determination of the Value Lock Premium Amount by delivering written notice (“Value Lock Notice”) to Buyer stating the Selected Calculation Period for which the Value Lock Premium Amount shall be determined and the Value Lock Premium Amount owed by Buyer to Seller pursuant to this Agreement. Buyer shall, within five (5) days following Buyer’s receipt of the Value Lock Notice, pay to the Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Seller, the Value Lock Premium Amount. In the event that Buyer terminates, or causes to be terminated, the Sub-Management Agreement or otherwise causes Beacon to no longer be engaged as the management or sub-management company for the Business following a Calculation Period during which Beacon was engaged as the management or sub-management company during the entire Calculation Period, Seller shall be entitled to elect such Calculation Period as the Selected Calculation Period.

(e) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Value Lock Premium Amount is a single, one-time payment.

(f) Casualty; Condemnation. In the event the hotel suffers a casualty loss involving damage of at least $100,000, or condemnation at any time following Closing, then Seller may elect to: (i) with respect to a casualty for which Buyer begins repairs within six months following the casualty, extend each of the 2021 Calculation Period, the 2022 Calculation Period and the 2023 Calculation Period by the number of days between the casualty and the final completion of all repairs (e.g., if the repairs take 60 days to complete then Seller may elect to extend each Calculation Period by 60 days); or (ii) elect to receive the Value Lock premium utilizing 9.82% as the Applicable Cap Rate and utilizing the rolling 12 month NOI through the last day of the month preceding the date of such casualty/condemnation.
