If Existing Members elect to Remove any such Gap Title Objections, Existing Members shall have the right to extend the date for Closing (by not more than fifteen (15) days) so that Existing Members may cure such Gap Title Objections. If Existing Members decline, or are deemed to have declined as aforesaid, to Remove the Gap Title Objections prior to Closing, Investor shall have until the Closing to elect in writing, either (a) if the Gap Title Objection in question can reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, to Terminate this Agreement, in which case the Deposit shall be returned to Investor, and the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, except for those which expressly survive any such termination, or (b) to waive its Gap Title Objections (other than Required Removal Items) and proceed with the transaction pursuant to the remaining terms and conditions of this Agreement. If Investor fails to give Existing Members notice of its election by such time or if the Gap Title Objection in question cannot reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (other than a Required Removal Item), it shall be deemed to have elected the option contained in clause (b) above. Any such Gap Title Objection so waived (or deemed waived) by Investor shall be deemed to constitute a Permitted Title Exception and the Closing shall occur as herein provided without any reduction of or credit against the Investor Capital Contribution.

B. Cure of Title Matters. At Closing, if this Agreement is not Terminated as permitted herein, Existing Members shall Remove or cause to be Removed any non-Permitted Title Exceptions to the extent (and only to the extent) that the same constitute Required Removal Items or Existing Members have agreed to Remove a Gap Title Objection pursuant to subsection (A) above.

C. Investor’s Right To Terminate. If Existing Members fail to Remove any Gap Title Objection (other than Required Removal Items) that it has agreed to remove pursuant to subsection (A) above prior to Closing, then Investor’s sole remedy shall be to Terminate this Agreement by written notice to Existing Members prior to the Closing Date, in which case the Deposit shall be returned to Investor, and the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, except for those which expressly survive any such termination.

For purposes of this Agreement, including the definition of Pre-Closing Tax Liabilities, in the case of any Taxes that are payable with respect to a Straddle Tax Year, the portion of such Taxes that relate to the Pre-Closing Tax Year shall (i) in the case of Prorated Taxes, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Tax Year multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Tax Year ending as of the Closing Proration Time and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Tax Year and (ii) in the case of any other Tax, be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable (computed on an interim closing of the books basis) as if the relevant Tax Year ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date. The Amended and Restated Operating Agreement shall govern the parties’ respective Liabilities for Taxes payable with respect to periods after the Closing Tax Year.

(i) Guest Ledger Receivables. Existing Members shall receive a credit at Closing for all Guest Ledger Receivables for all room nights up to and including the room night immediately prior to the night when the Closing Proration Time occurs, and the Company shall be entitled to the amounts of Guest Ledger Receivables for the room nights after the Closing Proration Time.

If any Accounts Receivable are paid to Investor or Company after the Closing, Investor shall, or shall cause Company to, pay to Existing Members the amounts so received within ten (10) days after receipt of such amounts, without any commission or deduction for Investor or Company other than any such actual, out-of-pocket costs and expenses required in the collection thereof.

(i) Rents. All Rental Payments received by Company or Existing Members prior to Closing shall be prorated as of the Closing Proration Time. Any Rental Payments received after Closing by Existing Members or its agents shall be promptly endorsed to Company by the payee thereof and delivered to Company; if any of such Rental Payments are attributable also to the period prior to the Closing Proration Time, upon such endorsement, deposit and receipt of collected funds, the part thereof belonging to Existing Members pursuant to the terms hereof shall be promptly paid to Existing Members and the balance shall be retained by Company.

(ii) Percentage Rents. To the extent percentage rents apply to any of the Occupancy Leases, with respect to percentage rent due from any Tenant, notwithstanding the foregoing, Investor and Existing Members agree that at Closing estimated percentage rent shall be prorated for the calendar year in which the Closing occurs (even though the same may not have been collected as of the Closing) based upon the amount of percentage rent due from such Tenant for the calendar year immediately prior to the calendar year in which the Closing occurs. For proration of percentage rents, the amount attributable to the period prior to the Closing Proration Time shall be equal to (a) the aggregate amount of such percentage rents actually collected for the calendar year in which the Closing occurs multiplied by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days prior to the Closing Proration Time that the applicable Tenant leases space at the Property during the calendar year in which the Closing occurs and the denominator of which shall be 365.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at Existing Members’ election, any utility deposit, bond, letter of credit or other security may be released directly to Existing Members, provided that following Closing, the Company shall promptly replace the same (with each of the Existing Members and Investor funding its Pro Rata Share), if required by the applicable utility.

The amount of such credit shall be determined by an actual inventory of all usable, unopened items of Consumables taken the day preceding the Closing Date (or such other date as the parties hereto may reasonably agree upon). Such credit shall account for (a) all unopened cases of Consumables, (b) all unopened individual items of Consumables which are a part of an opened case, but which have not been stocked in the guest rooms of the Hotel, and (c) all food and similar unused perishables usable in the ordinary course of the operation of the Hotel.

deficiency in the original proration to the other party promptly upon receipt of the actual bill for such goods or services.

K. Reimbursement of Rebates. Investor acknowledges that Company or Existing Members may participate in various incentive programs with various suppliers for the Hotel whereby rebates are earned by Company or Existing Members for Company’s or Existing Members’ purchase of designated goods and services from such suppliers. Investor acknowledges that Company or Existing Members may have earned credits toward a rebate prior to Closing and that after Closing, Investor may benefit from credits earned by Company or Existing Members prior to Closing. Investor therefore agrees to notify Existing Members of any rebate related to the Hotel received by, or credited to, the Company within one (1) year of the Closing Date and to cooperate with Existing Members’ inquiries into the status of any such rebates. Investor and Existing Members shall cooperate in good faith to determine which, if any, portion of such rebate is attributable to Existing Members’ or Company’s activities prior to the Closing Date, whereupon the Company shall promptly reimburse Existing Members for Existing Members’ share of each rebate. If the parties are unable to determine Existing Members’ precise share of a rebate, they shall work in good faith to equitably prorate the rebate into Investor’s and Existing Members’ shares. Investor shall make available to Existing Members all records and other data verifying each rebate and the payment thereof.

thereupon reprorate such items at such times as the exact amounts for such proration items become available (but such prorations will be made within one (1) year after the Closing Date or upon such earlier date as the exact amounts for such proration become available); provided however, that no reproration adjustment shall be made if the net amount due is $1,000 or less, and provided that any request is delivered to the party from whom payment is requested on or before one (1) year after Closing. In order to enable Existing Members and Investor to determine whether any such delayed adjustment is necessary, the Company shall provide to Existing Members and Investor current operating and financial statements for the Hotel no later than six (6) months after Closing.

Because Investor is relying on Investor’s own Due Diligence, to the extent that Investor has Actual Knowledge prior to the Closing that Existing Members’ Warranties are inaccurate, untrue or incorrect in any way, such Existing Members’ Warranties shall be deemed modified to reflect Investor’s Actual Knowledge.

hereunder shall, to the extent such change does not qualify under (ii)(x), (y) or (z) herein and is material (as defined in Paragraph 8.3), constitute the non-fulfillment of the condition set forth in Paragraph 10.1.A. (unless Investor had Actual Knowledge of such change, or was advised by Existing Members of such change, prior to the Closing Date, in which event the provisions of Paragraph 8.3 shall apply); if, despite changes or other matters described in Existing Members’ Reaffirmation, the Closing occurs, Existing Members’ Warranties set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been modified by all statements made in Existing Members’ Reaffirmation. For purposes of this Agreement, “Actual Knowledge” shall refer only to the actual knowledge of Fady Bakhos and Zaki Guiziri without duty to investigate the matters to which such knowledge, or absence of knowledge, pertains.

If at or prior to the Closing, Investor or any Investor’s Representative obtains Actual Knowledge that any Existing Members’ Warranty is untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect as of the date made, Investor shall give Existing Members written notice thereof within ten (10) Business Days of obtaining such knowledge (but, in any event, prior to the Closing). In either such event, Existing Members shall have the right to cure such misrepresentation or breach and shall be entitled to a reasonable adjournment of the Closing (not to exceed fifteen (15) days) to attempt such cure. If Investor fails to notify Existing Members within ten (10) Business Days of obtaining knowledge (or, if earlier, prior to the Closing) that any Existing Members’ Warranty is untrue, inaccurate or incorrect as of the date made, then Investor shall be deemed to waive such misrepresentation or breach of warranty. If any Existing Members’ Warranty is untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect as of the date made, and Existing Members are unable to so cure such misrepresentation or breach, then Investor, as its sole remedy shall elect either (a) to waive such misrepresentation or breach and consummate the Transaction without any reduction of or credit against the Investor Capital Contribution, or (b) to Terminate this Agreement by written notice given to Existing Members on the Closing Date, in which event any Deposit shall be returned to Investor. If any of Existing Members’ Warranties are untrue, inaccurate or incorrect but are not untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect, Investor shall be deemed to waive such misrepresentation or breach of warranty, and Investor shall be required to consummate the Transaction without any reduction of or credit against the Investor Capital Contribution. The untruth, inaccuracy or incorrectness of Existing Members’ Warranties shall be deemed material only if Investor’s aggregate damages resulting from the untruth, inaccuracy or incorrectness of Existing Members’ Warranties are reasonably estimated to exceed $150,000.

8.4 Survival and Limits On Investor’s Claims. The Limited Existing Members’ Warranties shall survive the Closing and not be merged therein for a period of twelve (12) months and Existing Members shall only be liable to Investor hereunder for a breach of the Limited Existing Members’ Warranties made herein or in any of the documents executed by Existing Members at the Closing with respect to which a claim is made by Investor against Existing Members in writing and a proceeding commenced on or before the date that is the one year anniversary of the Closing Date. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate liability of Existing Members for breaches of the

Limited Existing Members’ Warranties shall be subject to Existing Members’ Liability Limit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if the Closing occurs, Investor hereby expressly waives, relinquishes and releases any right or remedy available to it at law, in equity, under this Agreement or otherwise to make a claim against Existing Members for damages that Investor may incur, or to rescind this Agreement and the Transaction, as the result of any of Existing Members’ Warranties being untrue, inaccurate or incorrect if (a) Investor had Actual Knowledge that such representation or warranty was untrue, inaccurate or incorrect at the time of the Closing (Investor’s remedy being as set forth in Paragraph 8.3), or (b) Investor’s damages as a result of such representations or warranties being untrue, inaccurate or incorrect are reasonably estimated to aggregate less than $150,000.

Investor, as of the date of the execution of this Agreement by Investor, represents and warrants to Existing Members as follows, and as a condition precedent to Existing Members’ obligation to consummate the Transaction at Closing pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the following representations of Investor shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date:
