Existing Management and Franchise Agreements Seller has furnished to Buyer true and complete copies of the Existing Management Agreement and the Existing Franchise Agreement, which constitutes the entire agreement of the parties thereto with respect to the subject matter thereof and which have not been amended or supplemented in any respect. There are no other management agreements, franchise agreements, license agreements or similar agreements for the operation or management of the Hotel or relating to the Brand, to which Seller is a party or which are binding upon the Property, except for the Existing Management Agreement and the Existing Franchise Agreement. The Improvements comply with, and the Hotel is being operated in accordance with, all requirements of such Existing Management Agreement and the Existing Franchise Agreement and all other requirements of the Existing Manager and the Franchisor, including all “brand standard” requirements of the Existing Manager and the Franchisor. The Existing Management Agreement and the Existing Franchise Agreement are in full force and effect, and shall remain in full force and effect until the termination of the Existing Management Agreement and the Existing Franchise Agreement at Closing, as provided in Article V hereof. No default has occurred and is continuing under the Existing Management Agreement or the Existing Franchise Agreement, and no circumstances exist which, with the giving of notice, the lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default.
MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND FRANCHISE AGREEMENT (a) At or prior to the Closing, Seller shall terminate the Existing Management Agreement and the Existing Franchise Agreement, and Seller shall be solely responsible for all claims and liabilities arising thereunder on, prior to or following the Closing Date, except termination or similar fees, which shall be paid by Buyer. Seller shall be responsible for paying all costs related to the termination of the Existing Management Agreement and Buyer shall be responsible for paying all reasonable and actual costs of the Franchisor related to the assignment or termination, as applicable, of the Existing Franchise Agreement.
(b) At Closing, Buyer shall enter into the New Management Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit E and the New Franchise Agreement, effective as of the Closing Date, containing terms and conditions acceptable to Buyer (including, without limitation, such terms and conditions as may be required to accommodate Buyer’s and/or Buyer’s Affiliates’ REIT structure).
(c) Seller shall use best efforts to promptly provide all information required by the Franchisor in connection with the New Franchise Agreement. Prior to the expiration of the Review Period, Buyer and Franchisor shall agree on the form and substance of the New Franchise Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in this Contract, the New Franchise Agreement shall contain such terms and conditions as are acceptable to Buyer in its sole and absolute discretion.
Franchise Agreements (a) Each Non-Marriott Property shall be operated under the terms and conditions of the applicable Franchise Agreement in all material respects. Each Borrower shall or shall cause the applicable Operating Lessee to (i) pay all sums required to be paid by the franchisee under each Franchise Agreement, (ii) diligently perform, observe and enforce all of the terms, covenants and conditions of each Franchise Agreement on the part of the franchisee thereunder to be performed, observed and enforced to the end that all things shall be done which are necessary to keep unimpaired the rights of said franchisee under each Franchise Agreement, (iii) promptly notify Lender of the giving of any notice to any Borrower and/or Operating Lessee of any material default by the franchisee in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any Franchise Agreement on the part of the franchisee thereunder to be performed and observed and deliver to Lender a true copy of each such notice, and (iv) promptly deliver to Lender a copy of each financial statement, business plan, capital expenditure plan, notice of a material default under the Franchise Agreement, report regarding operations at the related Individual Property, estimates of any monetary nature and any other items reasonably requested by Lender, in each case received by any Borrower or Operating Lessee under any Franchise Agreement.
(b) No Borrower shall (and shall not cause or permit any Operating Lessee to), without the prior consent of the Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), surrender any Franchise Agreement or terminate or cancel any Franchise Agreement or modify, change, supplement, alter or amend any Franchise Agreement, in any material respect, either orally or in writing, and each Borrower hereby assigns to Lender as further security for the payment of the Indebtedness and for the performance and observance of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Loan Agreement, any and all rights, privileges and prerogatives of each Borrower to surrender any Franchise Agreement or to terminate, cancel, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend any Franchise Agreement in any respect, and any such surrender of any Franchise Agreement or termination, cancellation, modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of any Franchise Agreement without the prior consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) shall be void and of no force and effect.
(c) If any franchisee shall default in the performance or observance of any material term, covenant or condition of any Franchise Agreement on the part of the franchisee thereunder to be performed or observed, then, without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, and without waiving or releasing any Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder, Lender shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act or take any action as may be appropriate to cause all the terms, covenants and conditions of such Franchise Agreement on the part of the franchisee to be performed or observed to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of such Borrower, to the end that the rights of said franchisee (and/or such Borrower and/or Operating Lessee) in, to and under such Franchise Agreement shall be kept unimpaired and free from default. Any such amounts so advanced by Lender together with interest thereon from the date expended by Lender of the Default Rate shall be part of the Indebtedness and Borrower shall immediately repay such amounts to Lender upon demand. Pursuant to the terms of the applicable Subordination Attornment and Security Agreement and/or Assignment of Management Agreement, Lender and any person designated by Lender shall have, and are hereby granted, the right to enter upon the applicable Individual Property at any time and from time to time for the purpose of taking any such action. If any Franchisor shall deliver to Lender a copy of any notice sent to any Borrower and/or Operating Lessee of any default under any Franchise Agreement, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender in good faith, in reliance thereon.
(d) Each Borrower shall (or shall cause the applicable Operating Lessee to) exercise each individual option, if any, to extend or renew the term of each Franchise Agreement upon demand by Lender made at any time within ninety (90) days prior to the last day upon which any such option may be exercised, and each Borrower hereby expressly authorizes and appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact to exercise (or cause the applicable Operating Lessee to exercise) any such option in the name of and upon behalf of such Borrower should such Borrower fail to do so, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest.
(e) Any sums expended by Lender pursuant to this Section shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date such cost is incurred to the date of payment to Lender, shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Indebtedness, shall be secured by the lien of the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable within two (2) Business Days after demand by Lender therefor.
(f) Each Borrower shall, promptly upon request of Lender, but no more than two (2) times in any calendar year during the term of the Loan (unless (i) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (ii) such request is occasioned in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction) use its diligent best efforts to obtain and deliver (or cause to be delivered) an estoppel certificate from each Franchisor stating that (i) each applicable Franchise Agreement is in full force and effect and has not been modified, amended or assigned, (ii) neither such Franchisor nor the franchisee named thereunder is in default under any of the terms, covenants or provisions of each applicable Franchise Agreement and such Franchisor knows of no event which, but for the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute an event of default under each applicable Franchise Agreement, (iii) neither such Franchisor nor the franchisee thereunder has commenced any action or given or received any notice for the purpose of terminating any applicable Franchise Agreement and (iv) all sums due and payable to such Franchisor under each applicable Franchise Agreement have been paid in full.
(g) Upon the termination of any Franchise Agreement, each Borrower shall (or shall cause Operating Lessee to) promptly enter into a new Franchise Agreement with a replacement Franchisor, which shall deliver a comfort or similar letter to and in favor of Lender, all upon terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to Lender.
Loan Agreements Notwithstanding any term hereof (or any term of the UCC that might otherwise be construed to be applicable to a “securities intermediary” as defined in the UCC) to the contrary, none of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian nor any securities intermediary shall be under any duty or obligation in connection with the acquisition by the Borrower, or the grant by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent, of any Loan Asset in the nature of a loan or a participation in a loan to examine or evaluate the sufficiency of the documents or instruments delivered to it by or on behalf of the Borrower under the related Loan Agreements, or otherwise to examine the Loan Agreements, in order to determine or compel compliance with any applicable requirements of or restrictions on transfer (including without limitation any necessary consents). The Collateral Custodian shall hold any Instrument delivered to it evidencing any Loan Asset granted to the Collateral Agent hereunder as custodial agent for the Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Guaranty Agreements Any Guaranty Agreement or any provision thereof shall for any reason cease to be in full force and effect or valid and binding on or enforceable against any Credit Party or a Credit Party shall so state in writing or bring an action to limit its obligations or liabilities thereunder; or any Credit Party shall fail to perform any of its obligations thereunder; or
Operating Leases Not permit the aggregate amount of all rental payments under Operating Leases made (or scheduled to be made) by the Loan Parties (on a consolidated basis) to exceed $1,000,000 in any Fiscal Year.
Franchise Agreement (a) Except as provided in this Agreement, the Properties shall at all times be operated in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Franchise Agreements. Borrower shall, or shall cause Mortgage Borrower or Operating Lessee to cause Manager to, (i) pay all sums required to be paid by Mortgage Borrower, Operating Lessee and/or Manager under the Franchise Agreements, (ii) diligently perform, observe and enforce all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Franchise Agreements, (iii) promptly deliver to Lender a copy of any written notice to Mortgage Borrower or Operating Lessee of any default by Mortgage Borrower, Operating Lessee and/or Manager under the Franchise Agreements and notify Lender of any material default under the Franchise Agreements of which it is aware, (iv) promptly deliver to Lender a copy of any written notice to Franchisor of any default by Franchisor under the Franchise Agreements, (v) promptly deliver to Lender a copy of each financial statement, business plan, capital expenditure plan, notice of non-performance, report and estimate (a) received by Mortgage Borrower or Operating Lessee under the Franchise Agreements and (b) required to be delivered by Mortgage Borrower, Operating Lessee and/or Manager to Franchisor under the Franchise Agreements, (vi) complete all work required under any PIP on or prior to the Outside Date, (vii) not modify or amend the Franchise Agreements to the extent such modification or amendment could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (viii) except as provided in clause (b) below not terminate, cancel, or replace the Franchise Agreements, nor replace the Franchisor, nor waive or release any of its rights and remedies under the Franchise Agreements in any material respect, without Lender’s prior written consent. Each request by Borrower for approval and consent by Lender pursuant to this Section 5.25 shall be in writing and contain a legend in capitalized bold letters on the top of the cover page stating: “LENDER’S RESPONSE IS REQUESTED WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS. LENDER’S FAILURE TO RESPOND WITHIN SUCH TIME PERIOD SHALL RESULT IN LENDER’S CONSENT BEING DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN GRANTED” and Borrower shall include the following documentation with such request all materials reasonably necessary in order for Lender to evaluate such matter. In the event that Lender fails to grant or withhold its approval and consent to such matter within such ten (10) Business Day period (and, in the case of a withholding of consent, stating the grounds therefor in reasonable detail), then, so long as no Event of Default is continuing, Lender’s approval and consent shall be deemed to have been granted. There shall be no administrative or approval fee in connection with this Section 5.25(a), but Borrower shall pay any out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided no Event of Default is continuing, Mortgage Borrower and/or Operating Lessee shall have the right, and the right to permit Franchisor, without the prior written approval of Lender (but upon prior written notice to Lender), to terminate a Franchise Agreement at an Individual Property; provided, however, it shall be an Event of Default hereunder in the event that within sixty (60) days of the termination of such Franchise Agreement
(i) Borrower shall have failed (or shall have failed to cause Mortgage Borrower or Operating Lessee in the case of clause (2) hereof) to deliver to Lender either (1) a PIP Guaranty relating to any New PIP contemplated by the Replacement Franchise Agreement or the Replacement Management Agreement with a Brand Manager or (2) Cash to be deposited into the PIP Reserve Account in an amount equal to the PIP Required Deposit contemplated by the Replacement Franchise Agreement or the Replacement Management Agreement with a Brand Manager, which Cash shall be held and distributed in accordance with the terms of Section 9.9 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement and (ii) Borrower fails to deliver evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender that a Replacement Franchise Agreement or a Replacement Management Agreement with a Brand Manager is in full force and effect at the applicable Individual Property.
