ITEM 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive AgreemenT.
On
August 10, 2026, RHP Property GLO, LLC (“Buyer”), a subsidiary of Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc. (“we,”
“us,” “our” or the “Company”), entered into an Agreement of Purchase and Sale (the “Grande Lakes
Agreement”) with GLO Hotel Owner LLC (“Seller”), pursuant to which, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth therein, Buyer will purchase from Seller the JW Marriott Orlando, Grande Lakes Resort and the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes
located in Orlando, Florida, and certain related assets (collectively, “Grande Lakes”) for an aggregate purchase price of
approximately $1.38 billion, subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the Grande Lakes Agreement (the “Grande Lakes Acquisition”).
Upon execution of the Grande Lakes Agreement, Buyer
deposited $50 million into an escrow account, which amount will be (i) applied to the purchase price at the closing, (ii) released to
Seller as liquidated damages in the event that Seller terminates the Grande Lakes Agreement as a result of a material breach by Buyer
of its obligations under the Grande Lakes Agreement or (iii) released to Buyer in the event that Buyer terminates the Grande Lakes Agreement
as a result of a material breach by Seller of its obligations under the Grande Lakes Agreement.
The Grande Lakes Agreement contains customary representations,
warranties and covenants and is subject to customary closing conditions. The Grande Lakes Acquisition is expected to close in the third
quarter of 2026.
The above summary of the Grande Lakes Agreement
does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Grande Lakes Agreement, which is filed herewith as
Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 7.01. REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.
On August 10, 2026, the Company issued a press
release announcing the Grande Lakes Acquisition. A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated
herein by reference.
The information furnished under Item 7.01 of this
Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”), including Exhibit 99.1 hereto, is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01
of Form 8-K; shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, whether made before or after the date of this report, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference
in such filing. This Current Report will not be deemed an admission by the Company as to the materiality of any information in this Current
Report that is required to be disclosed solely by Item 7.01 of Form 8-K. The Company does not undertake a duty to update the information
in this Current Report and cautions that the information included in this Current Report under Item 7.01 is current only as of August
10, 2026 and may change thereafter.
ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS.
In connection with the Grande Lakes Acquisition,
the Company is providing the additional risk factors listed below to supplement the risk factors described in Item 1A of the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. These supplemental risk factors relate to the pending Grande Lakes
Acquisition and should be read in conjunction with the risk factors described in Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
We may fail to complete the Grande Lakes Acquisition on a timely
basis or at all.
Although we expect to complete the Grande Lakes
Acquisition in the third quarter of 2026, the Grande Lakes Acquisition is subject to customary closing requirements and conditions, many
of which are beyond our control, and there can be no assurance that the Grande Lakes Acquisition will be completed on the anticipated
schedule or at all. If we fail to consummate the Grande Lakes Acquisition or should the completion of the Grande Lakes Acquisition be
significantly delayed, we will have expended significant resources without realizing all or a portion of the intended economic benefits
of the Grande Lakes Acquisition.
Even if we consummate the Grande Lakes Acquisition,
we may not realize the intended economic benefits. If we fail to consummate the Grande Lakes Acquisition, we would expect to seek to acquire
another entertainment or hotel property or other investment, but we may not be able to identify suitable acquisition candidates on attractive
terms or at all, or such acquisitions may take a significant amount of time to accomplish. Any failure to complete the Grande Lakes Acquisition
could have a negative impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and the ability to make distributions to our
stockholders.
Our financial and operating results may suffer if we are unsuccessful
in integrating Grande Lakes with our existing assets.
If we are unable to successfully integrate Grande
Lakes with our existing assets in an efficient and effective manner following the completion of the Grande Lakes Acquisition, the anticipated
benefits of the Grande Lakes Acquisition may not be realized fully, or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected and may not
meet estimated growth projections or expectations. Further, we may not achieve the projected efficiencies and synergies once we have integrated
Grande Lakes into our operations, which may lead to additional costs not anticipated at the time of the Grande Lakes Acquisition. An inability
to realize the full extent of the anticipated benefits of the Grande Lakes Acquisition or any delays encountered in the integration process
could have an adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and financial position.
Integrating Grande Lakes may be more difficult, costly or time
consuming than expected.
The integration of Grande Lakes with our existing
assets will require the dedication of significant management resources, which may distract management's attention from day-to-day business
operations.
Many of these factors will be outside of our control
and any one of them could result in delays, increased costs, decreases in revenues and diversion of management’s time and energy
from ongoing business concerns, which could materially affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Each of our hotels currently operates, and Grande Lakes will
operate, under a brand owned by Marriott; therefore, we are subject to risks associated with concentrating our hotel portfolio in brands
owned by Marriott.
Each of our hotel properties is managed by Marriott
under Marriott-owned brands, and following the closing of the Grande Lakes Acquisition, Marriott will manage Grande Lakes under the JW
Marriott and The Ritz-Carlton brands. As a result, our success is dependent in part on the continued success of Marriott and, in particular,
the Gaylord Hotels, JW Marriott and The Ritz-Carlton brands. Consequently, if market recognition or the positive perception of Marriott
is reduced or compromised, the goodwill associated with the Gaylord Hotels, JW Marriott and The Ritz-Carlton hotels in our portfolio may
be adversely affected, which could negatively impact our financial condition, results of operations and our ability to service debt and
make distributions to our stockholders.
We may not have discovered undisclosed liabilities of Grande
Lakes during our due diligence process.
In the course of the due diligence review of Grande
Lakes that we conducted prior to the execution of the Grande Lakes Agreement, we may not have discovered, or may have been unable to quantify,
undisclosed liabilities of Grande Lakes. Examples of such undisclosed liabilities may include, but are not limited to, pending or threatened
litigation or regulatory matters. Any such undisclosed liabilities could, whether or not we assumed such liabilities, have an adverse
effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows following the completion of the Grande Lakes Acquisition.

(together with all accrued interest thereon, the “Earnest Money”) in immediately available funds by wire transfer
to the Escrow Account. The Earnest Money shall thereafter become nonrefundable to Buyer except as otherwise expressly set forth in this
Agreement. If the Earnest Money is not deposited by Buyer as and when due and payable hereunder, Seller shall have the right, as its
sole and exclusive remedy, in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion to terminate this Agreement, whereupon neither party shall
have any further rights or obligations hereunder except for those that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement.
15
(ii) At

(A) the Purchase Price, as adjusted pursuant to Article X, minus (B) the Earnest Money, and minus (C) the
amount of the Existing Financing Balance assumed by Buyer (to the extent that Buyer assumes the Existing Financing at Closing pursuant
to the Existing Financing Assumption Documents).
(b) Upon
delivery to Escrow Agent by Buyer, the Earnest Money will be deposited by Escrow Agent in the Escrow Account, which shall be an interest-bearing
account acceptable to Buyer and Seller and shall be held in escrow in accordance with the provisions of Section 15.4. All interest
earned on the Earnest Money while held by Escrow Agent shall be paid to the party to whom the Earnest Money is paid, except that if the
Closing occurs, Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price for such interest in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(c) No
adjustment shall be made to the Purchase Price except as explicitly set forth in this Agreement.
(d) Notwithstanding
any provision set forth in this Agreement, One Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($100.00) of the Earnest Money (the “Independent Consideration”)
shall be non-refundable in all events and shall be paid to Seller in the event that this Agreement is terminated at any time prior to
the Closing. In the event that the transaction contemplated by this Agreement is consummated, the Independent Consideration shall be

Section 2.3 The
Closing.
(a) The
closing of the sale and purchase of the Assets (the “Closing”) shall take place thirty (30) days after the Effective
Date (the “Closing Date”), TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE with respect to each of Seller’s and Buyer’s obligations
hereunder on the Closing Date; provided, however, Buyer shall have the one-time right to adjourn the Closing Date under this Section 2.3(a) for
up to thirty (30) calendar days, by providing written notice to Seller at least two (2) Business Days prior to the then scheduled
Closing Date, and delivering to Escrow Agent on or prior to the then scheduled Closing Date, cash in an amount equal to $10,000,000 in
immediately available funds by wire transfer to the Escrow Account (“Additional Earnest Money”), which additional
funds shall be added to and become a part of the Earnest Money and thereafter become nonrefundable to Buyer except as otherwise expressly
set forth in this Agreement. The Closing Date shall be further adjourned in the event Seller or Buyer exercises any of its other rights
to adjourn the Closing as set forth in this Agreement, provided that the Closing Date shall be no later than December 31, 2026 (the
“Closing Deadline Date”).
(b) The
Closing shall be held on the Closing Date at 12:00 P.M. (Eastern Time) by mutually acceptable escrow arrangements. There shall be
no requirement that Seller and Buyer physically attend the Closing, and all funds and documents to be delivered at the Closing shall
be delivered to the Escrow Agent unless the parties hereto mutually agree otherwise. Buyer and Seller hereby authorize their respective
attorneys to execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent any additional or supplementary instructions as may be necessary or convenient to
implement the terms of this Agreement and facilitate the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby, provided, however,
that such instructions are consistent with and merely supplement this Agreement and shall not in any way modify, amend or supersede this
Agreement.
16
(c) Buyer
may elect to pursue the assumption of the Existing Financing Balance at Closing by entering into assignment, assumption and release documents
(and Seller shall also enter into such assignment, assumption and release documents, as applicable) in accordance with the terms of the
Existing Financing, that have been approved by each of Seller, Buyer and the Existing Lender under the Existing Financing (collectively,
the “Existing Financing Assumption Documents”), and in such event, at Closing: (i) Buyer shall assume the duties,
obligations, and liabilities arising under the Existing Financing Documents from and after the Closing Date; and (ii) Seller and
its Affiliates shall be released from all duties, obligations and liabilities under the Existing Financing Documents that first become
due or otherwise arise from and after the Closing Date on such terms in accordance with the Existing Financing Documents and on such
other customary terms as Existing Lender may require, including Buyer’s assumption of liability for payment of the then outstanding
principal balance (with all interest and other charges due under the Existing Financing through the Closing Date to be paid by Seller)
of the Existing Financing (the “Existing Financing Balance”). If Buyer intends to assume the Existing Financing Balance
at Closing, Buyer will notify Seller thereof (the “Existing Finance Election Notice”) within three (3) Business
Days following the Effective Date (which Existing Finance Election Notice and election by Buyer shall be revocable by Buyer at any time
subject to the terms of this Section 2.3(c), including payment of all Buyer’s Assumption Cost Obligations), in which case
Buyer and Seller, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause the Existing Financing Assumption Documents
to be fully executed and delivered to Escrow Agent in advance of the Closing as required by this Agreement and the Existing Financing,
(ii) cause the Existing Lender to execute and deliver, at the Closing, an estoppel certificate in a form reasonably acceptable to
Buyer (the “Existing Financing Estoppel”) and (iii) cause the Existing Lender to execute and deliver, at the
Closing, a modification of the Existing Financing Documents which shall provide for the terms set forth on Schedule 2.3(c) attached
hereto (the “Existing Loan Modification”) (provided that neither receipt of the Existing Financing Assumption Documents,
Existing Loan Modification nor the Existing Financing Estoppel shall be a condition to Buyer’s or Seller’s obligation to
close under this Agreement). If Buyer delivers an Existing Finance Election Notice, then Buyer shall be solely responsible for all fees
and other charges of the Existing Lender associated with Buyer’s election to assume the Existing Financing Balance and negotiation
of the Existing Financing Assumption Documents, irrespective of whether Buyer actually assumes the Existing Financing at Closing or not
(the “Buyer’s Assumption Cost Obligation”). Buyer’s Assumption Cost Obligation shall survive the Closing
and any early termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
in the event Buyer elects to assume the Existing Financing and the Existing Lender fails to deliver any of the Existing Financing Assumption
Documents or the Existing Loan Modification at the Closing (but excluding, for avoidance of doubt, the Existing Financing Estoppel),
Buyer shall have the right (in addition to any other adjournment rights which Buyer has under this Agreement), upon written notice to
Seller delivered no later than the then scheduled Closing Date, to adjourn the Closing for up to thirty (30) days.
Section 2.4 Allocated
Purchase Price.
(a) For
purposes of calculating any transfer taxes and preparing related filings (including deed recording) in connection with the transfer of
the Assets as contemplated herein, Seller and Buyer hereby agree that the Purchase Price shall be allocated among the Fee Land, Personal
Property and/or any of the other Asset-Related Property in accordance with the allocation set forth on Schedule E attached hereto,
and all such related filings solely for these purposes shall utilize such allocation. For all other Tax purposes (including, without
limitation, federal, state and local income Tax purposes), each party shall be permitted to independently determine and report its own
allocation of the Purchase Price among the Assets in accordance with the rules of Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury
Regulations promulgated thereunder and any similar provision of state, local or foreign law, and no party shall be bound by the allocation
of any other party in connection with any Tax return, audit, examination, investigation or similar proceeding related thereto. This Section 2.4
shall survive the Closing.
17
(b) The
allocation contemplated by this Section shall include an allocation among (i) tangible personal property subject to sales or
use tax, if any, (ii) real property subject to documentary stamp tax and (iii) intangible personal property not subject to
transfer tax. No amendment to an allocation agreed upon by Seller and Buyer shall be effective without the written consent of both Seller
and Buyer.

Right of Inspection. (a) Through the earlier of Closing or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof,
Buyer and its agents shall have the right, at reasonable times and upon reasonable prior written notice (which may be by email) to Seller
(which shall in any event be at least 24 hours in advance) and at Buyer’s sole cost, risk and expense, to inspect the Property
during normal business hours on Business Days, provided, however, that any such inspection shall not unreasonably impede
the normal day to day business operation of the Property. Until Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement, Buyer may also
review, to the extent that such items are existing and in Seller’s possession or control, the current books and records concerning
the Property, certificates of occupancy, as built plans and specifications, surveys, rent rolls, tax statements, inventory lists, service
and maintenance agreements, and other instruments, documents and agreements reasonably requested by Buyer to investigate the Property,
excluding proprietary documents and information, documents and information which are subject to confidentiality agreements which do not
permit their disclosure to Buyer, and documents and information subject to the attorney client privilege. Except as otherwise provided
in Section 7.1(b) below, and notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not have the right to interview any tenants, hotel
guests, licensees, any officer, director or board member of the Association or other homeowners association or other users or occupants
of the Property, or any employees, union representatives or Governmental Authorities with respect to the Property or the Assets, in each
case, without the prior written consent of Seller (which may be granted or denied in Seller’s sole discretion). In addition, Buyer
shall not have the right to do any invasive testing of the Property without the prior written consent of Seller (which may be granted
or denied in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion). A representative of Seller shall be entitled to accompany Buyer and its agents
on any such permitted inspections, interviews or testing. Buyer’s right of inspection of the Property shall be subject to the rights
of tenants under the Space Leases, hotel guests and licensees and the rights of Manager under the Existing Management Agreement. Prior
to any such inspection, Buyer shall deliver to Seller certificates reasonably satisfactory to Seller evidencing that Buyer’s consultants
and agents carry and maintain such general liability insurance policies with such companies and in such scope and amounts as are acceptable
to Seller in its reasonable discretion, in all cases naming Seller, any Seller-Related Persons and any parties required under the terms
of the Existing Financing as additional insureds thereunder. Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and all
Seller-Related Persons from and against all Losses arising out of, resulting from or relating to or in connection with or from any such
inspection by Buyer or its agents, except to the extent such claim or damage was caused solely by the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of Seller or Seller’s agents. At Seller’s request, Buyer will promptly furnish to Seller copies of any environmental or engineering
reports (except any portion thereof containing proprietary information regarding Buyer) obtained or procured by Buyer relating to the
Property, and copies of reports of any inspections of the Property. The provisions of this Section 7.1 shall survive the Closing

that (i) such discussions relate solely to such documents or the prospects for approval of an expansion of the Property, (ii) Buyer

ARTICLE VIII
TITLE
AND PERMITTED EXCEPTIONS
Section 8.1 Permitted
Exceptions. The Property shall be sold and conveyed to Buyer or Buyer’s designee or permitted assignee, and Buyer agrees to
purchase Seller’s interest in the Property in accordance with this Agreement, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.
Section 8.2 Title
Commitment; Surveys. Other than the title matters set forth on Schedule 8.2 attached hereto (the “Title Objections”),
all title exceptions and matters set forth in the Title Commitment and on the Survey which are Permitted Exceptions are hereby approved
by Buyer. Buyer is solely responsible for obtaining any updated title commitments, surveys, or any other title related matters Buyer
desires with respect to the Property. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller shall, at Seller’s sole
cost and expense, on or prior to the Closing, cause each Title Objection to be released or discharged of record or otherwise omitted
as an exception to coverage from the Title Policy, in each case without additional cost or liability to Buyer, as a condition to Buyer’s
obligation to consummate the Closing.
39
Section 8.3 Certain
Exceptions to Title; Inability to Convey.
(a) In
the event Seller is unable to convey its interest to the Property subject only to the Permitted Exceptions (through no breach, default
or fault of Seller), Buyer may elect, as its sole and exclusive remedy therefore, to either (x) subject to Seller’s rights
under the immediately succeeding sentence, terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent, in which event
the Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer and, thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except
for those obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, (y) request that Title Company insure over any
matter that is not a Permitted Exception in a manner reasonably acceptable to Buyer, and if Buyer so elects to have such matter insured
over in accordance with the following sentence, Seller shall be responsible for paying the cost of such title endorsement, or (z) waive
in writing such title objections, in which event such title objections shall be deemed additional Permitted Exceptions and the Closing
shall occur as herein provided without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price. Seller may elect (but shall not be obligated)
to remove or cause to be removed, or insured over (in a manner reasonably acceptable to Buyer), at its expense any title matters which
are not Permitted Exceptions, and shall be entitled to a reasonable adjournment of the Closing (not to exceed forty-five (45) days) for
the purpose of such removal, which removal will be deemed effected by the issuance of title insurance eliminating or insuring against
the effect of such title matter. In no event shall Buyer be obligated to pay or deposit any Additional Earnest Money as a result of any
adjournment of the Closing requested or required by Seller. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall
be obligated at Closing to cause the release or discharge of (i) any Voluntary Encumbrance created by Seller (or filed of record
by Seller) on or after the Effective Date (each, a “Post-Effective Date Voluntary Encumbrance”), and any monetary
judgment against Seller filed against the Property, (ii) the deed(s) of trust related to the Existing Financing (unless the
documents evidencing or securing the Existing Financing will be assumed by Buyer at Closing pursuant to the Existing Financing Assumption
Documents) or any other deed of trust, mortgage or security agreement incurred by Seller which secures indebtedness that encumbers the
Property (excluding Equipment Leases), and (iii) any Lien encumbering the Property that is not a Permitted Exception and may be
removed by the payment of a sum of money including, without limitation, mechanic’s liens (each, a “Post-Effective Date
Monetary Encumbrance”), provided, Seller shall not be obligated to spend more than $2,000,000 in the aggregate with
respect to any Post-Effective Date Monetary Encumbrances (the “Monetary Encumbrance Cap”), and provided, further that if
a Post-Effective Date Voluntary Encumbrance or Post-Effective Date Monetary Encumbrance is omitted from the Title Policy (or is otherwise
insured over by the Title Company in a manner reasonably acceptable to Buyer) then Seller shall be deemed to have satisfied the provisions
of this sentence and caused the release of such Post-Effective Date Voluntary Encumbrance or Post-Effective Date Monetary Encumbrance;
it being acknowledged and agreed that (x) Buyer shall have no obligation to consummate the Closing hereunder if the Post-Effective
Date Monetary Encumbrances are in excess of $2,000,000.00 and Seller fails to cure, remove or cause the Title Company to insure over
the same (in a manner reasonably acceptable to Buyer) and (y) if the Post-Effective Date Monetary Encumbrances are in excess of
$2,000,000.00 and Seller fails to cure, remove or cause the Title Company to insure over the same, Buyer shall have the right, but not
the obligation, to elect to consummate the Closing hereunder and receive a credit at the Closing in an amount not to exceed $2,000,000.00,
provided that Buyer shall thereafter be responsible and shall assume all liability for any such Pos-Effective Date Monetary Encumbrance
(and Seller shall have no further obligation or liability with respect thereto). The parties acknowledge and agree that Seller shall
have the right to apply or cause Escrow Agent to apply all or any portion of the Purchase Price to cause the release of any Post-Effective
Date Voluntary Encumbrance, or any lien securing the Existing Mortgage. Nothing contained herein shall release Seller from its obligations
set forth in Sections 3.4(k) and 3.4(q) of this Agreement or impair, waive or limit Buyer’s rights and remedies in the
event of a breach by Seller thereof.
(b) Except
as expressly set forth in subsection 8.3(a) and in Section 3.4(k) of this Agreement, nothing contained in this Agreement
shall be deemed to require Seller to take or bring any action or proceeding or any other steps to remove any title exception or to expend
any moneys therefor, nor shall Buyer have any right of action against Seller, at law or in equity, for Seller’s inability to convey
its interest in the Property subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.
(c) Buyer
agrees to purchase Seller’s interest in the Property subject to any and all Violations, or any condition or state of repair or
disrepair or other matter or thing, whether or not noted, which, if noted, would result in a Violation being placed on the Property.
Seller shall have no duty to remove or comply with or repair any condition, matter or thing whether or not noted, which, if noted, would
result in a Violation being placed on the Property. Seller shall have no duty to remove or comply with or repair any of the aforementioned
Violations (and shall have no duty to remove or close any open or expired building permits) or other conditions, and Buyer shall accept
the Property subject to all such Violations, the existence of any conditions at the Property which would give rise to such Violations,
if any, and any claims of Governmental Authorities arising from the existence of such Violations, in each case without any abatement
of or credit against the Purchase Price.
40
Section 8.4 Cooperation.
To the extent requested by the Title Company, Buyer and Seller, as applicable, shall deliver to the Title Company (a) evidence sufficient
to establish (x) the legal existence of Buyer and Seller and (y) the authority of the respective signatories of Seller and
Buyer to bind Seller and Buyer, as the case may be, (b) a certificate of good standing of Seller issued by the State of Delaware,
(c) a certificate of good standing of Seller issued by the State of Florida, and (d) an affidavit of Seller in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit J (the “Title Affidavit”).

for (A) the payment of the costs of their respective legal counsel, advisors and other professionals employed thereby in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (B) one-half of the fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent, (ii) Seller
shall be responsible for the payment at Closing (A) all documentary stamp taxes payable in connection with the conveyance of the
Property, and (B) all costs and amounts due and payable in connection with the payoff of the Existing Financing in the event Buyer
elects not to assume the Existing Financing at the Closing in accordance with the terms of Section 2.3(c) (including, without
limitation, all prepayment premiums, defeasance costs and Existing Lender costs and expenses), and (iii) Buyer shall be responsible
for all costs and expenses associated with (A) Buyer’s due diligence, (B) Buyer’s financing, including all assumption
costs as contemplated by Section 2.3(c), (C) the Title Commitment, the Title Policy and all title searches, updates, endorsements,
extended coverage and co-insurance relating thereto, except for any endorsement or other title insurance obtained by Seller to cure or
insure over a matter that Seller is obligated to cure pursuant to Section 8.3, (D) the Survey and any update, revision or recertification
thereof, (E) all documentary stamp taxes and intangible taxes imposed on any mortgage or other financing obtained by Buyer, (F) the
Buyer RWI Costs, and (G) all recording fees for the Deed and the other Closing Documents, other than recording fees incurred to
release any matter that Seller is obligated to remove pursuant to Section 8.3. Any other closing costs not specifically allocated
by this Agreement shall be allocated in accordance with closing customs for similar property located in the same metropolitan area as
the Property.
(b) Each
party to this Agreement shall indemnify the other parties and their respective successors and assigns from and against any and all claims,
losses, damages, costs, charges, liabilities and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) which
such other party may sustain or incur as a result of the failure of the indemnifying party to timely pay any of the aforementioned taxes,
fees or other charges for which it has assumed responsibility under this Section 9.1. The provisions of this Section 9.1 shall
survive the Closing or the termination of this Agreement.
41
Section 9.2 Risk
of Loss.
(a) If,
on or before the Closing Date, the Property or any portion thereof shall be (i) damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty or
(ii) taken as a result of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding (or upon Seller receiving written notice of such condemnation
or eminent domain proceeding), Seller shall promptly notify Buyer and, at Closing, Seller will credit against the Purchase Price payable
by Buyer at the Closing an amount equal to the proceeds (other than on account of business or rental interruption relating to the period
prior to Closing), if any, actually received by Seller as a result of such casualty or condemnation, less Seller’s reasonable costs
incurred in making a claim for such insurance proceeds, together with a credit for any deductible under such insurance in the case of
a casualty, less any reasonable amounts spent to restore the Property. If as of the Closing Date, Seller has not received any such insurance
or condemnation proceeds, then the parties shall nevertheless consummate the conveyance of the Assets on the Closing Date (without any
credit for such insurance or condemnation proceeds) and Seller will at Closing assign to Buyer (and Seller shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain any required consents for such assignment) all rights of Seller, if any, to the insurance or condemnation proceeds
(other than on account of business or rental interruption relating to the period prior to Closing) and to all other rights or claims
arising out of or in connection with such casualty or condemnation.
(b) Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 9.2(a), if, on or before the Closing Date, the Property or any portion thereof shall be (i) damaged
or destroyed by a Material Casualty or (ii) taken as a result of a Material Condemnation (or upon Seller receiving written notice
of such condemnation or eminent domain proceeding), Buyer shall have the right, exercised by written notice to Seller delivered no later
than ten (10) days after Buyer has received notice of such Material Casualty or Material Condemnation, to terminate this Agreement,
in which event the Earnest Money shall be refunded to Buyer and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder
other than those which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement. If Buyer fails to timely terminate this Agreement in accordance
with this Section 9.2(b), the provisions of Section 9.2(a) shall apply. As used in this Section 9.2(b), a “Material
Casualty” shall mean any damage to the Property or any portion thereof by fire or other casualty that is expected to cost in
excess of five percent (5%) of the Purchase Price to repair. As used in this Section 9.2(b), a “Material Condemnation”
shall mean a taking of the Property or any material portion thereof, or a taking that permanently and materially impairs the current
use of, or access to, the Property or any material portion thereof.

and the net amount thereof under Section 10.1 shall be added to (if such net amount is in Seller’s favor) or deducted from
(if such net amount is in Buyer’s favor) the Purchase Price payable at Closing. Representatives of Seller and Buyer shall make
such inventories, examinations and audits of the books and records relating to the Property, as may be necessary to make the adjustments
and prorations required under this Agreement. Not less than five (5) days prior to Closing, Seller shall prepare and deliver to
Buyer a closing statement and accompanying documentation (the “Preliminary Closing Statement”) based upon such preliminary
inventories, examinations and audits. The Preliminary Closing Statement shall show the net amount due to Seller or Buyer as the result
of all such adjustments and prorations, and that net amount will be added to, or deducted from, the Purchase Price, as applicable.

Section 10.1 Fixed
Rents and Additional Rents.
(a) Fixed
rents (collectively, “Fixed Rents”) and Additional Rents (as hereinafter defined; Fixed Rents and Additional Rents
being together referred to herein as “Rents”) paid or payable by tenants under the Space Leases in connection with
their occupancy of the Property shall be adjusted and prorated on an if, as and when collected basis. Any Rents collected by Buyer or
Seller after the Closing from any tenant who owes Rents for periods prior to the Closing, shall be applied (i) first, in payment
of Rents owed by such tenant for the month in which the Closing occurs, (ii) second, in payment of current Rents at the time of
receipt, (iii) third, to delinquent Rents, if any, which became due after the Closing, and (iv) fourth, to delinquent Rents,
if any, which became due prior to the Closing. Each such amount, less any costs of collection (including reasonable counsel fees) reasonably
allocable thereto, shall be adjusted and prorated as provided above, and the party who receives such amount shall promptly pay over to
the other party the portion thereof to which it is so entitled. For the purposes of this provision, the term “Additional Rent”
shall mean amounts payable under any Space Lease for (i) percentage rent, (ii) so called “escalation rent”
or additional rent based upon increases in real estate taxes or operating expenses or labor costs or cost of living or porter’s
wages or otherwise and (iii) any general excise taxes collected from the tenants. As to any Additional Rent in respect of an accounting
period that shall have expired prior to the Closing but which is payable and paid to Buyer after the Closing, Buyer shall pay the paid
amount over to Seller upon Buyer’s receipt thereof.
(b) Buyer
shall bill tenants who owe Rents for periods prior to the Closing on a monthly basis following the Closing for a period of twelve (12)
months after the Closing, but shall not be obligated to take any action to collect any such amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
Buyer shall be unable to collect such past due Rents, Seller shall have the right to pursue such tenant to collect such delinquencies
(including, without limitation, the prosecution of one or more lawsuits, but Seller shall not take any action to evict any such tenant
or terminate any such Space Lease). Seller shall furnish to Buyer all information relating to the period prior to the Closing that is
reasonably necessary for the billing of such Rent and Buyer will deliver to Seller, concurrently with the delivery to tenants, copies
of all statements relating to Rent for a period prior to the Closing. Buyer shall bill tenants for Rents for accounting periods prior
to the Closing in accordance with and on the basis of such information furnished by Seller. The obligations of Buyer under this Section 10.1(b) shall
survive Closing.
(c) To
the extent that any portion of Additional Rent is required to be paid monthly by tenants on account of estimated amounts for any calendar
year (or, if applicable, any lease year or tax year or any other applicable accounting period), and at the end of such calendar year
(or lease year, tax year or other applicable accounting period, as the case may be), such estimated amounts are to be recalculated based
upon the actual expenses, taxes and other relevant factors for that calendar (lease or tax) year or other applicable accounting period,
with the appropriate adjustments being made with such tenants, then such portion of the Additional Rent shall be prorated between Seller
and Buyer at the Closing based on such estimated payments actually paid by tenants (i.e., with Seller entitled to retain all monthly
or other periodic installments of such amounts paid by tenants with respect to periods prior to the calendar month or other applicable
installment period in which the Closing occurs (on a pro-rata basis for any partial months), Seller to pay to Buyer at the Closing all
monthly or other periodic installments of such amounts theretofore received by Seller with respect to periods following the calendar
month or other applicable installment period in which the Closing occurs and Seller and Buyer to apportion as of the Closing all monthly
or other periodic installments of such amounts paid by tenants with respect to the calendar month or other applicable installment period
in which the Closing occurs). At the time(s) of final calculation and collection from (or refund to) each tenant of the amounts
in reconciliation of actual Additional Rent for a period for which estimated amounts paid by such tenant have been prorated, there shall
be a re proration between Seller and Buyer. If, with respect to any tenant, the recalculated Additional Rent exceeds the estimated amount
paid by such tenant, upon collection from the tenant, such excess shall be apportioned between Seller and Buyer as of the Closing in
accordance with paragraph (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 10.1. If, with respect to any tenant, the recalculated Additional
Rent is less than the estimated amount paid by such tenant, such shortfall shall be apportioned between Seller and Buyer as of the Closing,
with Seller paying to Buyer the portion of such shortfall so allocable to Seller.
43
(d) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the outstanding rent credits listed on Schedule 10.1(d) attached hereto (the “Outstanding
Rent Credits”) shall not be prorated hereunder and Seller shall be entitled to receive and/or retain entire amount of the Outstanding
Rent Credits (including those received following the Closing). Buyer shall promptly notify Seller of, and promptly pay to Seller, any
Outstanding Rent Credits received by Buyer following the Closing.
(e) Until
such time as all amounts required to be paid to Seller by Buyer pursuant to this Section 10.1 shall have been paid in full, Buyer
shall furnish to Seller, upon Seller’s request, a reporting of rents which have been collected by Buyer after the Closing with
respect to Space Leases with delinquent Rents as of the Closing. Seller shall also have the right from time to time following the Closing,
upon reasonable prior notice to Buyer and during ordinary business hours, to review Buyer’s rental records with respect to such
Space Leases.
Section 10.2 Taxes
and Assessments.
(a) Real
estate (ad valorem and any government property lease excise tax) and personal property taxes, including any taxes payable in arrears,
shall be adjusted and prorated based on the periods of ownership by Seller and Buyer. If real property tax and assessment figures for
the taxes or assessments to be apportioned between Buyer and Seller pursuant to this Section 10.2 are not available as of the Closing,
real property taxes and assessments shall be prorated based on the most recent assessment, subject to further and final adjustment by
Seller and Buyer outside of escrow when the tax rate and/or assessed valuation for such taxes and assessments for the Property is fixed.
In the event that the Property or any part thereof shall be or shall have been affected by an assessment or assessments, whether or not
the same become payable in installments, Seller shall, at the Closing, be responsible for any installments (or portions thereof) attributable
to any period prior to the Closing and Buyer shall be responsible for any installments (or portions thereof) attributable to any period
on or after the Closing. The provisions of this Section 10.2(a) shall survive the Closing for a period not less than the applicable
statute of limitations for the applicable taxes.
(b) With
respect to any special assessments that are not payable in installments, Sellers shall pay any such special assessments related to any
improvement which has been Completed (as defined below) prior to Closing, and Buyer shall pay any such special assessments related to
any improvement which has not been Completed prior to Closing. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “Completed” shall
mean, with respect to any public improvement by a governmental authority, that: (1) a lien for special assessments related to such
improvement has been imposed or certified by the governmental authority; or (2) a lien for such special assessments is still pending,
but the improvement has been substantially completed prior to Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to special assessments
that are Completed prior to Closing but are payable in installments: (a) Sellers shall pay any such installments attributable to
the period of time before Closing; (b) Buyer shall pay any such installments attributable to the period of time after Closing; and
(c) any such installments which are attributable to a period of time that commences before Closing and ends after Closing shall
be prorated at Closing, based upon the maximum discount allowed by law. The provisions of this Section 10.2(b) shall survive
the Closing for a period not less than the applicable statute of limitations for the applicable assessments.
(c) Buyer
shall be responsible for remitting payment of any assessments and fees due and payable after the Cut-Off Time to the applicable payee
irrespective of whether Seller or Buyer is responsible for the same pursuant to this Section 10.2. In no event shall Seller be charged
with or be responsible for any increase in the taxes, fees or assessments on the Assets resulting from the sale of the Assets contemplated
by this Agreement, any change in use of the Assets or Property on or after the Closing Date, or any improvements made or leases entered
into on or after the Closing Date.
44
Section 10.3 Utilities.
With respect to electricity, telephone, television, gas, fuel, water and sewer services which are metered, trash removal and other utilities,
Seller shall use reasonable efforts to (a) have the respective companies providing such utilities read the meters on or immediately
prior to the Cut-Off Time and (b) obtain a confirmation from the utility companies as to the balance of any deposits with respect
to any such utilities. Seller shall be responsible for all charges incurred prior to the Cut-Off Time based on such final meter readings
and Buyer shall be responsible for all charges thereafter. To the extent such meters are not read at the Property and final bills rendered
as of the Cut-Off Time, such charges with respect to the Property shall be prorated effective as of the Cut-Off Time utilizing an estimate
of such charges reasonably determined by Seller based on prior utility bills, and any deposits or credits with respect to the foregoing
services will be credited to Seller. Upon the taking of a subsequent actual reading, such apportionment shall be adjusted to reflect
the actual rate for the billing period in which the Closing Date occurs, and Seller, or Buyer, as the case may be, shall promptly deliver
to the other the amount determined to be due upon such adjustment.
Section 10.4 Contracts,
Equipment Leases and Licenses and Permits. Subject to Section 3.4(m), charges and payments under all Contracts and Equipment
Leases shall be prorated as of the Cut-Off Time between Seller and Buyer, with Seller being credited for amounts prepaid, and Buyer being
credited for amounts accrued and unpaid. Seller shall receive a credit for all deposits made by Seller under the Contracts and Equipment
Leases (together with any interest thereon) which are transferred to Buyer or remain on deposit for the benefit of Buyer. All amounts
prepaid, accrued or due and payable under any Licenses and Permits (other than utilities which are separately prorated under Section 10.3)
transferred to Buyer shall be prorated as of the Cut-Off Time between Seller and Buyer. Seller shall receive a credit for all unapplied
deposits made by Seller under the Licenses and Permits which are transferred to Buyer or which remain on deposit for the benefit of Buyer.
Section 10.5 Miscellaneous
Revenues. Revenues, if any, arising out of vending machines, parking, or other income-producing agreements shall be prorated between
Seller and Buyer as of the Cut-Off Time.
Section 10.6 Security
Deposits. Buyer shall receive a credit equal to the actual amounts of the security deposits under the Space Leases which are being
held by Seller in cash to the extent such amounts are not assigned or transferred to Buyer at Closing. To the extent that a tenant under
a Space Lease has provided a letter of credit or other non-cash security deposit, Seller shall cooperate with such tenant and Buyer to
transfer such non-cash security deposit to Buyer at Buyer’s sole cost and expense.
Section 10.7 Leasing
Costs. Seller shall be responsible for all Leasing Costs relating to Space Leases or renewals, amendments, expansions and extensions
of Space Leases, entered into or which first become binding, prior to the Effective Date (the “Seller’s Leasing Costs”).
Buyer shall be responsible for all Leasing Costs other than Seller’s Leasing Costs, and shall assume the economic effect of any
“free rent” or other concessions pertaining to the period from and after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything in this
Section 10.7 to the contrary, Buyer shall be responsible for all Leasing Costs relating to renewals, amendments, expansions and
extensions of Space Leases, in each case to the extent such Leasing Costs relate to renewal, expansion or extension rights of tenants
under such Space Leases that are exercised or amendments that are entered into, after the Effective Date. To the extent Seller’s
Leasing Costs have not been fully paid as of the Closing Date, Buyer shall receive a credit at the Closing against the Purchase Price
in the amount of the balance of Seller’s Leasing Costs remaining to be paid and Buyer shall assume all obligations of Seller to
pay the balance of Seller’s Leasing Costs as to which Buyer shall have received such credit and to perform the obligations associated
with the same. The obligations of Buyer under this Section 10.7 shall survive the Closing.
45

Ledger. All revenues received or to be received from transient guests on account of room rents, facilities occupied and the use of
the premises (including without limitation parking areas, mini-bar sales, phone and other communication charges and the like) for the

that an amount less than the total amount due from a guest is collected and such guest continued in occupancy after the Cut-Off Time,

to Buyer. The provisions of this subsection 10.8(a) will survive the Closing for 180 days.

Section 10.16 Other

ARTICLE XII
TAX
CERTIORARI PROCEEDINGS
Section 12.1 Prosecution
and Settlement of Proceedings. If any tax reduction proceedings (including, but not limited to, administrative and/or judicial proceedings
or appeals) in respect of the Property, relating to any tax years ending prior to the calendar year in which the Closing occurs, are
pending at the time of the Closing, Seller reserves and shall have the right to continue to prosecute and/or settle the same at Seller’s
cost. If any tax reduction proceedings in respect of the Property, relating to the tax year in which the Closing occurs, are pending
at the time of Closing, then after the Closing Buyer reserves and shall have the right to continue to prosecute and/or settle the same
at Buyer’s cost; provided, however, that Buyer shall not settle any such proceeding without Seller’s prior
written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The parties acknowledge that any tax reduction proceeding
relating to the tax year in which the Closing occurs may be filed after the Closing Date. To the extent permitted under applicable law,
Buyer shall have the right to file any such tax reduction proceeding. If Buyer is not permitted to file such proceeding under applicable
law, Seller shall timely file such proceeding and thereafter reasonably coordinate with Buyer in connection therewith; provided that
Seller shall not be required to incur any material out-of-pocket cost, expense or liability in connection therewith. Seller shall keep
Buyer reasonably apprised of the status of all pending tax reduction proceedings relating to tax years ending prior to the calendar year
in which the Closing occurs. Each of Seller and Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with the other party in connection with the prosecution
of any such tax reduction proceedings.
Section 12.2 Application
of Refunds or Savings. Any refunds or savings in the payment of taxes resulting from such tax reduction proceedings on account of
taxes allocable to the period prior to the date of the Closing shall belong to and be the property of Seller, and any refunds or savings
in the payment of taxes on account of taxes allocable to the period from and after the date of the Closing shall belong to and be the
property of Buyer; provided, however, that if any such refund creates an obligation to reimburse any Tenants under Space
Leases for any rents or additional rents paid or to be paid, that portion of such refund equal to the amount of such required reimbursement
(after deduction of allocable expenses as may be provided in the Space Lease to such tenant) shall, at Seller’s election, either
(a) be paid to Buyer and Buyer shall disburse the same to such tenants or (b) be paid by Seller directly to the Tenants entitled
thereto. All attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred in obtaining such refunds or savings shall be apportioned between Seller
and Buyer in proportion to the gross amount of such refunds or savings payable to Seller and Buyer, respectively (without regard to any
amounts reimbursable to Tenants); provided, however, that neither Seller nor Buyer shall have any liability for any such
fees or expenses in excess of the refund or savings paid to such party unless such party initiated such proceeding.
51
Section 12.3 Cooperation.
Buyer and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the other Party in response of preparing and filing any
tax return related to the Assets or the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, including contesting any taxes related to the Assets
or the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
Section 12.4 Survival.
The provisions of this Article XII shall survive the Closing.
ARTICLE XIII
DEFAULT
Section 13.1 Buyer
Default.
(a) This
Agreement may be terminated by Seller if prior to the Closing (i) any of the conditions precedent to Seller’s obligations
set forth in Section 5.1 have not been satisfied or waived by Seller on or prior to the Closing Date or (ii) there is a material
breach or default by Buyer in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement of which Seller has provided Buyer written
notice and Buyer has failed to cure by the earlier of ten (10) Business Days after such notice and the Closing Date; provided that
Buyer shall not be entitled to such notice and opportunity to cure for failure to pay the Purchase Price and acquire the Assets on the
Closing Date and provided further that Seller may not terminate this Agreement if, on the Closing Date, there exists a default by Seller
under this Agreement.
(b) In
the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 13.1(a), this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force
or effect and neither party shall have any rights or obligations against or to the other except (i) for those provisions hereof
which by their terms expressly survive the termination of this Agreement and (ii) as set forth in Section 13.1(c).
(c) In
the event Seller terminates this Agreement as a result of a material breach or default by Buyer in any of its obligations under this
Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall immediately disburse the Earnest Money, as applicable, to Seller, in accordance with the terms of Section 15.4
hereof and upon such disbursement Seller and Buyer shall have no further obligations under this Agreement, except those which expressly
survive such termination. Buyer and Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that it would be impractical and/or extremely difficult to fix
or establish the actual damage sustained by Seller as a result of such default by Buyer, and agree that the Earnest Money is a reasonable
approximation thereof. Accordingly, in the event that Buyer breaches this Agreement by materially defaulting in the performance of any
of its obligations under this Agreement, and if Seller terminates this Agreement, the Earnest Money, as applicable, shall constitute
and be deemed to be the agreed and liquidated damages of Seller, and shall be paid by the Escrow Agent to Seller as Seller’s sole
and exclusive remedy hereunder; provided, however, the foregoing shall not limit Buyer’s obligation to pay Seller all reasonable
attorney’s fees and costs of Seller, if any, to enforce the provisions of this Section 13.1. In the event Seller terminates
this Agreement as a result of any of the conditions precedent to Seller’s obligations set forth in Section 5.1 not being satisfied
or waived by Seller on or prior to the Closing Date (other than those set forth in Sections 5.1(a) – (d) and 5.1(g)),
the Escrow Agent shall immediately disburse the Earnest Money to Buyer in accordance with the terms of Section 15.4 hereof, and
upon such disbursement Seller and Buyer shall have no further obligations under this Agreement, except those which expressly survive
such termination.
52
Section 13.2 Seller
Default.
(a) This
Agreement may be terminated by Buyer prior to the Closing if (i) any of the conditions precedent to Buyer’s obligations set
forth in Section 5.2 have not been satisfied or waived by Buyer on or prior to the Closing Date or (ii) there is a material
breach or default by Seller in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement of which Buyer has provided Seller written notice
and Seller has failed to cure by the earlier of ten (10) Business Days after such notice and the Closing Date; provided that Seller
shall not be entitled to such notice and opportunity to cure for failure to cause the sale of the Assets on the Closing Date.
(b) Upon
termination of this Agreement by Buyer pursuant to Section 13.2(a), the Escrow Agent shall immediately disburse the Earnest Money
to Buyer in accordance with the terms of Section 15.4 hereof, and upon such disbursement Seller and Buyer shall have no further
obligations under this Agreement, except those which expressly survive such termination, and as set forth in Section 13.2(c). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if this Agreement shall be terminated by Seller pursuant to Section 13.1(a)(i) above as a result of the failure
to satisfy the condition precedent in Section 5.1(g) solely with respect to receipt of the Manager Consent, the Escrow Agent
shall disburse the Earnest Money to Seller, and upon such disbursement Seller and Buyer shall have no further obligations under this
Agreement, except those which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement.
(c) If
Seller shall default in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement to cause the sale of the Assets on the Closing Date as
described in Section 13.2(a)(ii), Buyer, at its option, as its sole and exclusive remedy, may (i) terminate this Agreement,
direct the Escrow Agent to deliver the Earnest Money to Buyer and retain the Earnest Money, and this Agreement shall be terminated and
of no further force and effect except for the provisions which explicitly survive such termination, provided that Buyer shall also be
entitled to collect from Seller, and Seller shall pay to Buyer, Buyer’s reimbursable expenses up to, but not to exceed, $1,000,000.00,
or (ii) bring an action for specific performance to specifically enforce the terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided that
such specific enforcement action must be initiated no later than sixty (60) days following the date on which the Closing should have
occurred under this Agreement, but for such default (after taking into consideration any applicable notice and cure periods set forth
in this Agreement), provided that the foregoing shall not limit Seller’s duty to pay Buyer all of Buyer’s reasonable attorneys’
fees and court costs to enforce the provisions of this Section 13.2(c).
ARTICLE XIV
OTher
Agreements; EMPLOYEE MATTERS
Section 14.1 Employee
Matters.
(a) Employees.
Buyer acknowledges that the Employees are currently employed by Manager or its Affiliates. The parties intend that there will be continuity
of employment with respect to all of the Employees. It is agreed that prior to, or in connection with, the Closing, Buyer shall take
no action to cause Seller, Manager or its Affiliates to terminate, or to cause the termination of, the employment of any Employee, and
none of Seller, Manager or its Affiliates shall be under any obligation to terminate, or to cause the termination of, any Employee prior
to or on the Closing Date.
53
(b) Indemnity.
The parties agree that all Employees are employed by Manager prior to the Closing Date and any and all Employees shall continue on with
Manager as of the Closing Date under such terms and conditions as Manager shall set pursuant to the Existing Management Agreement. Any
claims of any kind brought by Employees against Seller or Buyer shall be resolved under the terms of the Existing Management Agreement.
As between Buyer and Seller: (a) Buyer shall have no responsibility for Employee claims accruing or arising from acts or omissions
prior to the Closing; and (b) Seller shall have no responsibility for Employee claims accruing and arising from acts or omissions
after the Closing. In the event of an Employee claim for which the acts or omissions giving rise to the claim began before the Closing
Date and continued following the Closing Date which is not resolved by application of the Existing Management Agreement (a “Straddle
Claim”), Buyer and Seller shall apportion responsibility between themselves by first mutually determining in good faith the
total period for which the acts or omissions giving rise to such claims continued (the “Claim Period”) and apportioning
the financial responsibility for the claim between Seller and Buyer based on the percentage of the Claim Period prior to and after the
Closing Date, respectively. However, no claim accruing or arising prior to the Closing shall be deemed a Straddle Claim if the action
giving rise to the claim occurred (or if an omission, failed to occur) prior to the Closing.
(c) WARN
Act. Buyer (or Manager or its Affiliate at Buyer’s direction, as applicable) shall not, at the Property at any time within
the 90 days after the Closing Date, cause or effectuate a “plant closing” or “mass layoff,” as those terms are
defined in the WARN Act, affecting in whole or in part any site of employment, facility, operating unit or Employee.
(d) No
Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Article XIV shall create any third-party beneficiary rights for the benefit of any
employees of the Property or Manager. Buyer and Seller acknowledge that all provisions contained in Article XIV with respect to
employees are included for the sole benefit of Buyer (and Buyer’s Affiliates, as applicable) and Seller (and Seller’s Affiliates,
as applicable) and shall not be deemed to constitute an amendment to any employee benefit plan or create any right (i) in any other
person, including any employees, former employees, any participant in any benefit plans (including Union Benefit Plans) or any beneficiary
thereof, or any union or trust, or (ii) to continued employment with Buyer or any of its Affiliates, managers or contractors following
the Closing Date.
(e) Survival.
The provisions of this Section 14.1 shall survive the Closing without limitation.
Section 14.2 Existing
Management Agreement.
(a) Buyer
acknowledges and agrees (and has received written evidence, prior to the date hereof) that Manager has waived the Manager Purchase Option
pursuant to those certain letters from Manager dated July 21, 2026 (the “Manager Waiver”). Seller shall request
from Manager estoppel certificates from Manager (collectively, the “Manager Estoppel”) substantially in the forms
attached hereto as Exhibit R-1, Exhibit R-2, and Exhibit R-3, promptly following the Effective Date.
In the event the Manager Estoppel or the Manager Consent (as that term is defined in Section 14.2(b) below) is not obtained
on or prior to the scheduled Closing Date, then either Seller or Buyer may elect to extend the Closing up to 45 additional days (such
date, the “Extended Deadline”) in order to allow the parties to obtain the same, in which event Buyer shall not be
obligated to deposit any Additional Earnest Money. For the avoidance of doubt, the receipt of the Manager Estoppel shall not be a condition
to Buyer’s obligation to consummate the Closing and the non-receipt of the Manager Estoppel or any matter raised in the Manager
Estoppel shall not constitute grounds to refuse to consummate the Closing.
(b) Buyer
shall diligently pursue and Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in connection with (x) the consent required from Manager to the transfer
of the Property subject to the Existing Management Agreement (the “Manager Consent”) and (y) the assignment by
Seller to Buyer of the Existing Management Agreement. In connection with obtaining the Manager Consent, Buyer shall provide to Manager
the information reasonably requested by Manager to determine Buyer’s compliance with Section 10.02.A of the Existing Management
Agreement, including, without limitation, disclosure information reasonably requested by Manager sufficient for Manager to assess the
business reputation of Buyer, the identification in reasonable detail of the direct and indirect owners of Buyer, and the latest audited
and unaudited financial statements of Buyer or its direct and indirect owners, as applicable.
54
Section 14.3 Intentionally
Omitted.
Section 14.4 Intentionally
Omitted.
Section 14.5 Association
and Stormwater Association Estoppel. In accordance with Section 3.4(f) hereof, Seller shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain the Grande Lakes Association Estoppels.
Section 14.6 Exclusivity.
From the Effective Date until the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement, Seller shall not negotiate with any independent third
parties (or with any other party) for the financing, refinancing, sale, assignment or other transfer, of the Property or any portion
thereof or an interest in Seller which would be substantially equivalent to selling an interest in the Property.
ARTICLE XV
MISCELLANEOUS

members, the shareholders of such partners or members, and the trustees, officers, directors, employees, agents and security holders

direct and indirect obligations of Buyer under this Agreement.
Section 15.2 Brokers.
(a) Seller
represents and warrants to Buyer that it has dealt with no broker, salesman, finder or consultant (a “Broker”) with
respect to this Agreement other than Eastdil Secured or the transactions contemplated hereby. Seller agrees to indemnify, protect, defend
and hold Buyer and the Buyer-Related Persons harmless from and against all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) and charges resulting from Seller’s breach of the foregoing representation
in this subsection 15.2(a) or from any claims for compensation from Eastdil Secured. The provisions of this subsection 15.2(a) shall
survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.
55
(b) Buyer
represents and warrants to Seller that it has dealt with no Broker with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
Buyer agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold Seller and the Seller-Related Persons harmless from and against all claims, losses,
damages, liabilities, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) and charges resulting from Buyer’s
breach of the foregoing representation in this Section 15.2(b). Buyer acknowledges Seller has disclosed that certain affiliates
and related parties of Seller, including, without limitation, certain of Seller’s principals, officers, employees, directors, managers
or representatives may be licensed as real estate agents or brokers in one or more jurisdiction. The provisions of this subsection 15.2(b) shall
survive the Closing and any termination of this Agreement.
Section 15.3 Confidentiality;
IRS Reporting Requirements.
(a) Buyer
and Seller shall hold as confidential all information and materials in the Asset File and all other information or materials disclosed
to them by or behalf of the other party concerning each other, the Assets, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (“Confidential
Information”) and shall not release any such Confidential Information to third parties without the prior written consent of
the other parties hereto, except (i) any information which was previously or is hereafter publicly disclosed (other than in violation
of this Agreement or other confidentiality agreements to which Affiliates of Buyer are parties), (ii) to the partners, advisers,
underwriters, analysts, employees, affiliates, officers, directors, consultants, lenders, accountants, legal counsel, title companies
and other advisors of Seller and/or Buyer (collectively, “Representatives”) of any of the foregoing, provided
that they are advised as to the confidential nature of such information and the terms of this Section 15.3, are instructed to maintain
such confidentiality, and each party shall be liable for the breach of the terms of this Section 15.3 by its Representatives and
(iii) to any Governmental Authority, including the Securities and Exchange Commission, as may be required by Applicable Law, and
otherwise to comply with any order, law, rule or regulation, or disclosed publicly as deemed advisable (by legal counsel for the
applicable Party) in connection with any filing or public company disclosure (and there shall be no requirement to seek confidential
treatment or any protective order or action). Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, the parties hereto (and their employees,
representatives and agents) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the U.S. federal income tax treatment
and tax structure of transactions effected pursuant to this Agreement, provided, however, (y) the parties hereto (and
their employees, representatives and agents) shall keep confidential any such information to the extent necessary to comply with any
applicable federal or state securities law, and (z) the parties hereto agree that the tax treatment and tax structure do not include,
and the parties hereto (and their employees, representatives and agents) shall keep confidential, the name of, and other identifying
information regarding, any such party or transactions, including the specific economic terms of such transactions. If any court or governmental
authority requires a party to disclose any portion of the Confidential Information, such party shall, to the extent permitted by law
and legal process and prior to disclosing any such Confidential Information, (A) provide the other party with prompt written notice
of such requirement and (B) cooperate with the other party in a commercially reasonable manner in obtaining any protective order
or other remedy sought by such party with respect to such requirement. If no such protective order or other remedy is obtained, then
the disclosing party may disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that in the reasonable opinion of its legal counsel
is legally required to be disclosed, and shall exercise all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential
treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information. The foregoing shall constitute a modification of any prior confidentiality agreement
that may have been entered into by the parties. The provisions of this subsection 15.3(a) shall survive the Closing and the termination
of this Agreement for a period of one year.
(b) For
the purpose of complying with any information reporting requirements or other rules and regulations of the IRS that are or may become
applicable as a result of or in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any requirements
set forth in proposed Income Tax Regulation Section 1.6045-4 and any final or successor version thereof (collectively, the “IRS
Reporting Requirements”), Seller and Buyer shall designate and appoint the Escrow Agent to act as the “Reporting Person”
(as that term is defined in the IRS Reporting Requirements) to be responsible for complying with any IRS Reporting Requirements, and
the Escrow Agent shall acknowledge and accept such designation and appointment and agree to fully comply with any IRS Reporting Requirements
that are or may become applicable as a result of or in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting
the responsibility and obligations of the Escrow Agent as the Reporting Person, Seller and Buyer hereby agree to comply with any provisions
of the IRS Reporting Requirements that are not identified therein as the responsibility of the Reporting Person.
56
Section 15.4 Escrow
Provisions.
(a) The
Escrow Agent shall hold the Earnest Money in escrow in an interest-bearing federally-insured bank account in a federally-insured money
market or other similar account, subject to immediate withdrawal, at a bank or savings and loan institution reasonably acceptable to
Seller and Buyer (the “Escrow Account”).
(b) The
Escrow Agent shall hold the Earnest Money in escrow in the Escrow Account until the Closing or sooner termination of this Agreement and
shall hold or apply such proceeds in accordance with the terms of this subsection 15.4(b). Seller and Buyer understand that no interest
is earned on the Earnest Money during the time it takes to transfer into and out of the Escrow Account. At Closing, the Earnest Money
shall be paid by the Escrow Agent to, or at the direction of, Seller. If for any reason the Closing does not occur and either party makes
a written demand upon the Escrow Agent for payment of such amount, the Escrow Agent shall, within 24 hours give written notice to the
other party of such demand. If the Escrow Agent does not receive a written objection within five (5) Business Days after the giving
of such notice, the Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to make such payment. If the Escrow Agent does receive such written objection within
such five (5) Business Day period or if for any other reason the Escrow Agent in good faith shall elect not to make such payment,
the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold such amount until otherwise directed by joint written instructions from the parties to this Agreement
or a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. However, the Escrow Agent shall have the right at any time to deposit the Earnest
Money with the clerk of the court of New York County. The Escrow Agent shall give written notice of such deposit to Seller and Buyer.
Upon such deposit the Escrow Agent shall be relieved and discharged of all further obligations and responsibilities hereunder.
(c) The
parties acknowledge that the Escrow Agent is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, that the Escrow
Agent shall not be deemed to be the agent of either of the parties, and the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to either of the parties
for any act or omission on its part, other than for its gross negligence or willful misconduct. Seller and Buyer shall jointly and severally
indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and against all costs, claims and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees
and disbursements, incurred in connection with the performance of the Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder.
(d) The
Escrow Agent has acknowledged its agreement to these provisions by signing this Agreement in the place indicated following the signatures
of Seller and Buyer.
Section 15.5 Successors
and Assigns; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. The stipulations, terms, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall inure
to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns (including any
successor entity after a public offering of stock, merger, consolidation, purchase or other similar transaction involving a party hereto)
and nothing herein expressed or implied shall give or be construed to give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and such assigns,
any legal or equitable rights hereunder.
57
Section 15.6 Assignment.
This Agreement may not be assigned by Buyer without the prior written consent of Seller. Any transfer of direct or indirect interests
in Buyer shall be deemed to be an assignment of this Agreement by Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without releasing Buyer from
its obligations under this Agreement, Buyer is permitted (without Seller’s consent) to assign this Agreement (and all or any part
of Buyer’s rights under this Agreement): (a) to any insurer under the R&W Insurance Policy, solely after payment of the
applicable insured Loss and solely with respect to any Fraud claim such insurer would otherwise be entitled to pursue by subrogation;
provided that such assignment shall not afford such insurer any greater rights, remedies or recourse than it would have had through subrogation
or expand the liability of Seller or any Seller-Related Person; and (b) to one or more Affiliates of Buyer, including for purposes
of causing one or more Affiliates of Buyer to take title to (and an assignment of) any of the Asset-Related Property or for purposes
of implementing an intercompany lease that complies with Section 856(d)(8)(B) of the Code at the Closing, provided such Affiliate(s) (each
such Affiliate, a “Buyer Designee”) shall execute such documentation as reasonably requested by Manager (to the extent
that Manager has the right to require such documentation) at the Closing, and provided further, that Buyer and each Buyer Designee will
be jointly and severally liable for the obligations of Buyer under this Agreement notwithstanding any such designation and provided that
such assignment shall not result in a delay of the Closing Date.
Section 15.7 Further
Assurances. From time to time, as and when requested by any party hereto, the other party shall execute and deliver, or cause to
be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions
as such other party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Exhibit 99.1
Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc.
to Acquire Grande Lakes Orlando Resort for $1.38 Billion
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (August 10, 2026) – Ryman
Hospitality Properties, Inc. (NYSE: RHP) (the “Company”), a lodging real estate investment trust (“REIT”) specializing
in group-oriented, upscale convention center resorts and entertainment experiences, today announced a definitive agreement under which
the Company will purchase the fee simple interest in Grande Lakes Orlando Resort (“Grande Lakes” or the “Property”)
in Orlando, Florida, for $1.38 billion from Trinity Investments. The 409-acre complex includes two hotels, a 1,010-room JW Marriott and
a 582-room Ritz-Carlton, and a Greg Norman-designed 18-hole championship golf course. The Company plans for the Property to continue to
be operated by Marriott International under the JW Marriott and Ritz-Carlton brands. The purchase price represents a 12.5x Adjusted EBITDAre
multiple on the Property’s trailing-twelve-month results through June 30, 2026.1
The Company expects the acquisition of Grande Lakes to be accretive to adjusted funds from operations (“Adjusted FFO”) per
diluted share for 2027.
Mark Fioravanti, President and Chief Executive
Officer of the Company, said, “Grande Lakes is a terrific asset and one that fits all of our ownership criteria. The transaction
strengthens our JW Marriott and Gaylord Hotels customer rotation strategies, expands our presence in the nation’s top meetings market
and creates the opportunity for meaningful portfolio synergies. Building on the success of our growing JW Marriott platform, Grande Lakes
establishes a nationwide rotational network for the JW Marriott brand within our hotel portfolio. Grande Lakes also introduces Ritz-Carlton
as a new luxury brand within our portfolio, providing access to a high-value customer segment and unique customer insights that can further
strengthen our platform and support long-term value creation across the portfolio.”
Grande Lakes Orlando Resort is one of the largest
resorts in the greater Orlando area and features 1,592 guest rooms and approximately 320,000 square feet of versatile indoor and outdoor
meeting and event space. Guests can enjoy an array of world-class amenities, including the 40,000-square-foot Ritz-Carlton spa & fitness
center; 14 food and beverage outlets; the Grande Lakes Waterpark featuring water slides, a lazy river, and the AquaVenture aqua course;
and a Greg Norman-designed 18-hole golf course at The Ritz-Carlton Golf & Tennis Club, home of the PNC Championship. The Property
has recently benefitted from approximately $150 million in capital investments, encompassing all guestrooms, meeting space and core public
areas across both hotels.
Orlando has consistently ranked as the top meetings
destination in North America by Cvent and benefits from strong year-round leisure demand drivers. Orlando International Airport is the
7th busiest in the U.S. by total passenger volume.
