Buyer shall notify Seller of its election in writing within five (5) business days after receipt of Seller's notice, and Buyer's failure to provide such timely notice in response to Seller's notice shall constitute Buyer's election to waive its objection to the non-monetary New Title Defects that Seller will not cure or remove and proceed as provided in (i) above.

Each of the parties hereto agrees (each a "RECEIVING PARTY"), on behalf of itself and its representatives and agents, to keep confidential and not disclose any and all information and data of a proprietary or confidential nature with respect to another party (a "DISCLOSING PARTY") in its possession or which it has received in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby other than information which is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by the Receiving Party in violation of this Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the parties hereto shall be free to disclose any such information or data (i) to the extent required by applicable law, and (ii) during the course of or in connection with any legal proceeding based upon or in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement.

Seller agrees to indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from and against any violations of the Workers Adjustment Retraining and Notification Act, 29 U.S.C. Section 2101 et seq.

Buyer or its designated representatives may be present at such inventories, examinations and audits of the Hotel Business. Based upon such audits and inventories, Seller's Accountants will prepare and deliver to Buyer and Escrow Agent no later than two (2) business days prior to the Closing Date a closing statement (the "CLOSING STATEMENT"). The Closing Statement shall contain Seller's best estimate of the amounts of the items requiring the prorations and adjustments in this Agreement and shall be subject to the concurrence therewith of Buyer. The amounts set forth on the Closing Statement shall be the basis upon which the prorations and adjustments provided for herein shall be made at the Closing. The Closing Statement shall be binding and conclusive on all parties hereto to the extent of the items covered by the Closing Statement, unless within one hundred eighty (180) days after receipt by Buyer of the Closing Statement, either Buyer or Seller notifies the other that it disputes such Closing Statement and specifies in reasonable detail the items and reasons that it so disputes such Closing Statement. The parties shall attempt to resolve such dispute. If such dispute is not resolved within forty-five (45) days after delivery of the original notice of dispute by Buyer or Seller, then the parties shall submit such dispute to an outside accounting firm appointed not later than fifteen (15) days after the expiration of said 45 day period, with the mutual consent of Buyer and Seller or, if the parties cannot agree, two outside accounting firms, one of which shall be appointed by Buyer and one of which shall be appointed by Seller ("OUTSIDE ACCOUNTANTS"), and the determination of the Outside Accountants, which shall be made within a period of fifteen (15) days after such submittal by the parties, shall be conclusive. The fees and expenses of the Outside Accountants shall be paid equally by Buyer and Seller. In the event that, at any time within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, either party discovers any items which should have been included in the Closing Statement but were omitted therefrom, such items shall be adjusted in the same manner as if their existence had been known at the time of the preparation of the Closing Statement. The foregoing limitation shall not apply to any item which, by its nature, cannot be finally determined within the period specified. 9.3 FILING AND CLOSING DELIVERIES.

TERMINATION; EFFECT OF TERMINATION; REMEDIES. 12.1 TERMINATION. This Agreement may be terminated as follows: (a) at any time by mutual consent of Buyer and Seller; (b) by either Buyer or Seller if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before July 7, 2006, subject to extension as contemplated by Section 7.4 or Section 7.9 (provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this clause (b) shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any covenant or obligation of this Agreement (inclusive of the failure to close pursuant to the terms thereof) has been the cause of, resulted in or contributed to the failure of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement to have occurred on or before the aforesaid date); (c) by Seller, if Buyer breaches any of Buyer's representations, warranties or covenants set forth in this Agreement and, as a result of such breach, the conditions set forth in Section 10.1(a) or Section 10.1(b) are not satisfied and would be incapable of being satisfied within 15 days after delivery of written notice thereof to Buyer; (d) by Buyer, if Seller breaches any of Seller's representations, warranties or covenants set forth in this Agreement and, as a result of such breach, the conditions set forth in Section 10.2(a) or Section 10.2(b) are not satisfied and would be incapable of being satisfied within 15 days after delivery of written notice thereof to Seller; (e) by Buyer in accordance with Section 4.3 or Section 7.4(b); or (f) by either Buyer or Seller if any court of competent jurisdiction or other governmental agency of competent jurisdiction shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and such order, decree, ruling or other action shall have become final and non-appealable. 12.2 EFFECT OF TERMINATION. In the event of termination of this Agreement by Buyer or Seller pursuant to Section 12.1 hereof, notice thereof shall forthwith be given to Seller or Buyer, respectively, and this Agreement shall terminate without any further action by any of the parties hereto. If this Agreement is terminated as provided herein, no party hereto shall have any liability or further obligation to any other party to this Agreement, except that any termination shall be without prejudice to the rights of any party hereto arising out of a breach by the other party of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement; provided, however, the provisions of Section 7.6 shall survive such termination. If Buyer terminates this Agreement for any reason set forth in Section 12.1 (a), 12.1(b), 12.1(d) or 12.1(f), then the Earnest Money Deposit shall be refunded to Buyer. If Seller terminates this Agreement for any reason set forth in Section 12.1 hereof (except 12.1(c) or 12.1(f), to the extent the order, decree, ruling or action results from Buyer's actions or inactions, in which case the Earnest Money Deposit shall be delivered to Seller), the Earnest Money Deposit shall be refunded to Buyer. If Buyer terminates this Agreement in accordance with Section 4.3 or Section 7.4(b) (as contemplated by Section 12.1(e)), the Earnest Money Deposit shall be delivered to Seller. 12.3 REMEDIES. (a) NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, IF THE SALE OF THE PURCHASED ASSETS TO BUYER IS NOT CONSUMMATED BY REASON OF BUYER'S DEFAULT OF ITS OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE THE PURCHASED ASSETS PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, SELLER SHALL BE RELEASED FROM ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE AND RETAIN THE EARNEST MONEY DEPOSIT (OR SUCH INSTALLMENTS THEREOF AS HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN DEPOSITED AT TIME OF DEFAULT) AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES WHICH SHALL CONSTITUTE SELLER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THE FOREGOING SHALL NOT LIMIT SELLER'S REMEDIES FOR BREACH OF BUYER'S OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTIONS 7.5 OR 7.6 OF THIS AGREEMENT. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICABLE AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIX THE ACTUAL DAMAGES SUFFERED BY SELLER AS A RESULT OF BUYER'S FAILURE TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE OF THE PURCHASED ASSETS PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT, UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING AS OF THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVIDED FOR IN THIS SECTION REPRESENT A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES THAT SELLER WILL INCUR AS A RESULT OF SUCH FAILURE. THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT SUCH LIQUIDATED DAMAGES ARE NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY, BUT ARE INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO THE SELLER. (b) In the event the Closing fails to occur solely because of Seller's failure to perform Seller's obligations under this Agreement, Buyer shall have the right among its other remedies to (i) request return of the Earnest Money Deposit by written notice sent to the Escrow Agent with a copy thereof to Seller; and (ii) exercise any and all legal remedies that Buyer may have against Seller, including the right to require that Seller specifically perform its obligations under this Agreement. In the event that Seller has not commenced action to restrain the return of the Earnest Money Deposit within five (5) business days of delivery of said notice, the Escrow Agent shall return to Buyer the Earnest Money Deposit and any documents and other monies deposited by Buyer. (c) In the event Buyer obtains actual knowledge of any breach of Seller's representations or warranties under Section 5 prior to Closing, Buyer shall give written notice thereof to Seller at or prior to the Closing. Upon receipt of such notice, Seller may elect to extend the Closing for as long as sixty (60) days to enable Seller to attempt to cure the condition that gives rise to such breach or otherwise provide evidence to Buyer that the same does not exist. If Seller either does not elect to extend or, at or prior to the extended Closing, shall be unable to cure such condition or provide such evidence to Buyer, then Buyer shall elect either (a) to terminate this Agreement on account thereof (as provided in Section 12.1) or (b) to close the purchase of the Purchased Assets and pay the Purchase Price in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, but in the case of an election under clause (b), Buyer shall be entitled to indemnification under Section 11.2(i) on account of such breach subject to the limitations on Seller's liability under Section 11.2, which limitations shall be applicable to all claims of Buyer for breach in the aggregate, whether made under this Section 12.3(c) or Section 11.1.
