RENT
----
3.1 Rent. Tenant shall pay, in Dollars without offset, abatement,
--- ----
demand or deduction (unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement),
Minimum Rent and Participating Rent to Landlord and Additional Charges to the
party to whom such Additional Charges are payable, during the Term. All
payments to Landlord shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available
federal funds or by other means acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion.
Rent for any partial Accounting Period shall be prorated on a per diem basis.
Minimum Rent and Participating Rent shall be adjusted (by amendment to this
Agreement) upon (i) the expansion of the number of rooms operated at the Hotel,
(ii) the increase in area of any meeting rooms or similar facilities located at
the Hotel, (iii) a material increase in the facilities available at the Hotel,
(iv) significant renovation of the Hotel to the extent same effectuates a
material repositioning of the Hotel, or (v) a Material Franchise Change.
3.1.1 Minimum Rent. For each Accounting Period or portion thereof,
----- ------------
Tenant shall pay Minimum Rent in arrears prior to 11:00 a.m. New York time
on the first Business Day of the next Accounting Period.
3.1.2 Participating Rent.
(a) Amount. For each Fiscal Quarter or portion thereof, Tenant
--- ------
shall pay in arrears prior to 11:00 a.m. New York time on or before
the twenty-fifth (25th) day of each Fiscal Quarter additional rent
("Participating Rent") with respect to such prior Fiscal Quarter or
- ------------------
portion thereof, pursuant to this Agreement, in an amount, not less
than zero, as set forth on Exhibit A. In calculating Participating
---------
Rent, Gross Revenues attributable to hotel packages or certificates
including, but not limited to, frequent traveler programs, gift
certificate programs, all inclusive packages or certificates, or other
similar programs or packages, shall be allocated to the respective
revenues categories in accordance with the Uniform System of Accounts.
The obligation to pay Participating Rent shall survive the expiration
or earlier termination of the Term, and a final reconciliation, taking
into account, among other relevant adjustments, any adjustments which
are
20
accrued after such expiration or termination date but which
related to Participating Rent accrued prior to such termination date,
shall be made not later than sixty (60) days after such expiration or
termination date.
(b) Officers Certificate. An Officer's Certificate, in form and
--- --------------------
substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord, setting forth the
calculation of Participating Rent due and payable for the applicable
Fiscal Quarter shall be delivered to Landlord with each payment of
Participating Rent.
(c) Reconciliation of Participating Rent. On or before **[Omaha
--- ------------------------------------
-- 130]**[SeaView & LaGuardia -- 70] days from the commencement of
each year, commencing in 1999, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an
Officer's Certificate, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to
Landlord, setting forth the Gross Revenues for the Leased Property for
such preceding Lease Year, together with an audit of Tenant's revenues
for the preceding Lease Year, conducted by a nationally recognized
firm of independent certified public accountants proposed by Tenant
and approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. In the event that Landlord and Tenant are unable
to agree on any aspect of the reconciliation of Participating Rent,
such matter shall be referred to arbitration as provided in Article
-------
23. If the annual Participating Rent for such preceding Lease Year as
shown in the Officer's Certificate exceeds the amount previously paid
with respect thereto by Tenant, Tenant shall pay such excess to
Landlord at such time as the Officer's Certificate is delivered,
together with interest at the Interest Rate, which interest shall
accrue from the date that such payment was due until the date that
such certificate is required to be delivered and, thereafter, such
interest shall accrue at the Overdue Rate, until the amount of such
difference shall be paid or otherwise discharged. If the annual
Participating Rent for such preceding Lease Year as shown in the
Officer's Certificate is less than the amount previously paid with
respect thereto by Tenant, provided that no Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, Landlord shall grant Tenant a credit
against Participating Rent next coming due in the amount of such
difference, plus interest at the Interest Rate. If such credit cannot
be made because the Term has expired prior to application in full
thereof, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
Landlord shall pay, within fifteen (15) Business Days of the date of
determination that such credit is due to Tenant, the unapplied balance
of such credit to Tenant, plus interest at the Interest Rate.
(d) Confirmation of Participating Rent. Tenant shall utilize, or
--- ----------------------------------
cause to be utilized, an accounting system for the Leased Property in
accordance with its usual and customary practices and in accordance
with GAAP and the Uniform System of Accounts, which will accurately
record all Gross Revenues and revenue categories specified in Exhibit
-------
A and Tenant shall retain, for at least seven (7) years after the
--
expiration of each Lease Year, or such longer period as may be
required by Applicable Laws, reasonably adequate records conforming to
such accounting system showing all Gross Revenues for such Lease Year.
Landlord, at its own expense except as provided hereinbelow, shall
have the right,
21
exercisable by Notice to Tenant within three (3) years
after receipt of the applicable Officer's Certificate, by its
accountants or representatives to audit the information set forth in
the Officer's Certificate referred to in subparagraph (c) above and,
in connection with such audits, to examine Tenant's and the Manager's
books and records with respect thereto (including supporting data and
sales and excise tax returns). If any such audit discloses a
deficiency in the payment of Participating Rent, Tenant shall
forthwith pay to Landlord the amount of the deficiency, together with
interest at the Interest Rate, from the date such payment should have
been made to the date of payment thereof. If Landlord did not receive
at least ninety-five percent (95%) of the Participating Rent payable
with respect to such Lease Year, Tenant shall pay the reasonable cost
of such audit and examination. If any such audit discloses that
Tenant paid more Participating Rent for any Lease Year than was due
hereunder, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Landlord shall grant Tenant a credit as provided in
subparagraph (c) above. Any proprietary information obtained by
Landlord with respect to Tenant or the Manager pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement shall be treated as confidential, except
that such information may be used, subject to appropriate
confidentiality safeguards, in any litigation between the parties and
except further that Landlord may disclose such information to its
prospective lenders, provided that Landlord shall direct and obtain
the agreement of such lenders to maintain such information as
confidential. The obligations of Tenant and Landlord contained in
this Section 3.1.2 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination
-------------
of this Agreement.
3.1.3 Additional Charges. In addition to the Minimum Rent and
----- ------------------
Participating Rent payable hereunder, Tenant shall pay to the appropriate
parties and discharge as and when due and payable the following
(collectively, "Additional Charges"):
------------------
(a) Impositions. Subject to Article 8 relating to permitted
--- ----------- ---------
contests, Tenant shall pay, or cause to be paid, all Impositions on
Tenant's Leased Property before any fine, penalty, interest or cost
(other than any opportunity cost as a result of a failure to take
advantage of any discount for early payment) may be added for non-
payment, such payments to be made directly to the taxing authorities
where feasible, and shall promptly, upon request, furnish to Landlord
copies of official receipts or other reasonably satisfactory proof
evidencing such payments. If any such Imposition may, at the option
of the taxpayer, lawfully be paid in installments (whether or not
interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of such Imposition),
Tenant may exercise the option to pay the same (and any accrued
interest on the unpaid balance of such Imposition) in installments
and, in such event, shall pay such installments during the Term as the
same become due and before any fine, penalty, premium, further
interest or cost may be added thereto. Landlord, at its expense,
shall, to the extent required or permitted by Applicable Law, prepare
and file all tax returns and pay all taxes due in respect of real
estate taxes on the Leased Property, and all taxes due in respect of
Landlord's income, gross receipts, sales and use, single business,
transaction privilege, rent, ad valorem, franchise taxes and taxes on
its capital stock, and Tenant, at Landlord's expense, shall, to the
extent required or permitted by Applicable Laws,
22
cause Manager to prepare and file all tax returns and pay all taxes
due in respect of real estate and personal property taxes, levies,
assessments and similar charges on or relating to the Leased Property,
and Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, shall, to the extent
required or permitted by Applicable Laws and regulations, prepare and
file all other tax returns and reports in respect of any Imposition as
may be required by Government Agencies. Provided no Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, if any refund shall be due from
any taxing authority in respect of any Imposition paid by Tenant, the
same shall be paid over to or retained by Tenant. Landlord and Tenant
shall, upon request of the other, provide such data as is maintained
by the party to whom the request is made with respect to the Leased
Property as may be necessary to prepare any required returns and
reports. In the event Government Agencies classify any property
covered by this Agreement as personal property, Tenant shall file all
personal property tax returns in such jurisdictions where it may
legally so file. Each party shall, to the extent it possesses the
same, provide the other, upon request, with cost and depreciation
records necessary for filing returns for any property so classified as
personal property. Where Landlord is legally required to file
personal property tax returns for property covered by this Agreement,
Landlord shall provide Tenant with copies of assessment notices in
sufficient time for Tenant to file a protest. All Impositions
assessed against such personal property shall be (irrespective of
whether Landlord or Tenant shall file the relevant return) paid by
Tenant not later than the last date on which the same may be made
without interest or penalty. Landlord shall give prompt Notice to
Tenant of all Impositions payable by Tenant hereunder of which
Landlord at any time has knowledge; provided, however, that Landlord's
-------- -------
failure to give any such notice shall in no way diminish Tenant's
obligation hereunder to pay such Impositions (except that Landlord
shall be responsible for any interest or penalties incurred as a
result of Landlord's failure promptly to forward the same).
(b) Utility Charges. Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all
--- ---------------
charges for electricity, power, gas, oil, water and other utilities
used in connection with the Leased Property.
(c) Insurance Premiums. Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all
--- ------------------
premiums for the insurance coverage required to be maintained pursuant

Sections 4.3.2 and 9.7.
----------------------
(e) Gross Operating Expenses. Tenant shall pay or cause to be
--- ------------------------
paid all Gross Operating Expenses in connection with the Leased
Property.
(f) Reimbursement for Additional Charges. If Tenant pays or
--- ------------------------------------
causes to be paid property taxes or similar or other Additional
Charges attributable to
23
periods after the end of the Term, whether upon expiration or sooner
termination of this Agreement (other than termination by reason of an
Event of Default), Tenant may, within sixty (60) days after the end of
the Term, provide Notice to Landlord of its estimate of such amounts.
Landlord shall promptly reimburse Tenant for all payments of such
Additional Charges that are attributable to any period after the Term
of this Agreement.
If Tenant shall fail to pay any of the amounts payable under
paragraphs (a) through (e), above, Landlord may, upon ten (10) days notice to
Tenant (which notice may be oral), pay such charges, together with interest and
penalties due with respect thereto, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord therefor
together with interest at the Interest Rate, upon demand, as Additional Charges.

Adjustments calculated as set forth above in the Minimum Rent, the
Annual Room Revenues Break Points, the Annual Food and Beverage Sales Break
Points, the Annual Telephone Revenues Break Points, **[Sea View -- the Annual

Points, the Annual Food and Beverage Sales Break Points, the Annual Telephone
Revenue Break Points, **[the Annual Golf Sales Break Points,]** or the Annual
Other Income Break Points be reduced as a result of any changes in the CPI or
changes to the calculation of CPI.

Charges which are payable directly to Landlord) shall not be paid within ten

comparable lodging properties in the area;
(d) Innkeeper's legal liability insurance covering property of
guests while on the Leased Property for which Landlord is legally
responsible with a limit of not less than $1,000 in any one occurrence
or $25,000 annual aggregate; and
(e) Safe deposit box legal liability insurance covering property
of guests while in a safe deposit box on the Leased Property for which
Landlord is legally responsible with a limit of not less than $25,000
in any one occurrence.
(f) Comprehensive form vehicle liability insurance for owned,
non-owned, and hired vehicles used in connection with the operation of
the Leased Property, in the amount of $10,000,000.00.
(ii) **[LaGuardia--Landlord shall]** Tenant shall, or shall cause
Manager to, at Landlord's sole cost and expense, at all times during
the Term keep the Leased Property and all property located therein or
thereon, insured against the risks and in the amounts as follows and
shall maintain the following insurance:
(a) "All-risk" property insurance, including insurance against
loss or damage by fire, vandalism and malicious mischief, explosion of
steamboilers, earthquake and hurricane damage, pressure vessels or
other similar apparatus, now or hereafter installed in the Hotel
located at the Leased Property, with equivalent coverage as that
provided by the usual extended coverage endorsements, in an amount
equal to one hundred (100%) percent of the then full Replacement Cost
thereof;
(b) Business interruption and blanket earnings plus extra expense
under a rental value insurance policy or endorsement covering risk of
loss by reason of any hazard covered under the insurance required
under this Section 9.1 in such amounts as may be customary for
comparable properties in the area and in an amount sufficient to
prevent Landlord or Tenant from becoming a co-insurer but in any event
for not less than twelve (12) months of Gross Revenues; and
36
(c) Flood (if the Leased Property is located in a federally
designated flood zone) and such other hazards and in such amounts as
may be customary for comparable properties in the area.
9.2 Replacement Cost. "Replacement Cost" as used herein, shall mean
--- ---------------- ----------------
the actual replacement cost of the property requiring replacement from time to
time, including an increased cost of construction endorsement, less exclusions
provided in the standard form of fire insurance policy.
9.3 Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant agree that (insofar
--- ---------------------
as and to the extent that such agreement may be effective without invalidating
or making it impossible to secure insurance coverage from responsible insurance
companies doing business in the State) with respect to any property loss which
is covered by insurance then being carried by Landlord or Tenant, respectively,
the party carrying such insurance and suffering said loss releases the other of
and from any and all claims with respect to such loss; and they further agree
that their respective insurance companies shall have no right of subrogation
against the other on account thereof, even though extra premium may result
therefrom. In the event that any extra premium is payable by Tenant as a result
of this provision, Landlord shall not be liable for reimbursement to Tenant for
such extra premium.
9.4 Form Satisfactory, Etc. All insurance policies and endorsements
--- ----------------------
required pursuant to this Article 9 shall be fully paid for, nonassessable and,
---------
except for umbrella and flood coverage, be issued by insurance carriers
authorized to do business in the State, having a rating of no less than A-:XI in
Best's latest rating guide and otherwise satisfactory under any Hotel Mortgage
**[Sea View -- or Ground Lease]**. No policy described in Sections 9.1(i)(a),
-------------------
(ii)(a)-(c) and (iii) shall include a deductible in excess of Twenty Five
---------------------
Thousand Dollars ($25,000) (provided, however, that insurance for earthquake and
hurricane damage may include such reasonable deductibles as are consistent with
normal industry practice and which are otherwise acceptable to Landlord) and,
with the exception of the insurance described in Section 9.1(i)(b), shall name
-----------------
Landlord and any Hotel Mortgagee as additional insureds, as their interests may
appear. All loss adjustments shall be payable as provided in Article 10.
----------
Tenant shall cause all insurance premiums to be paid and shall make available
such policies and deliver certificates thereof to Landlord prior to their
effective date (and, with respect to any renewal policy, prior to the expiration
of the existing policy). All such policies shall provide Landlord (and any
Hotel Mortgagee if required by the same) thirty (30) days prior written notice
of any material change or cancellation of such policy. In the event Tenant
shall fail to effect such insurance as herein required, to pay the premiums
therefor or to deliver such policies or certificates to Landlord or any Hotel
Mortgagee at the times required, Landlord shall have the right, but not the
obligation, subject to the provisions of Section 12.5, to acquire such insurance
------------
and pay the premiums therefor, which amounts shall be payable to Landlord, upon
demand, as Additional Charges, together with interest accrued thereon at the
Overdue Rate from the date such payment is made until (but excluding) the date
repaid.
9.5 Blanket Policy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
--- --------------
contained in this Article 9, Landlord's or Tenant's obligation to maintain the
---------
insurance herein required may be brought within the coverage of a so-called
blanket policy or policies of insurance carried and maintained by Landlord,
Tenant or the Manager, as applicable, provided that (a) the coverage
37
thereby afforded will not be reduced or diminished from that which would exist
under a separate policy meeting all other requirements of this Agreement, and
(b) the requirements of this Article 9 are otherwise satisfied.
---------
9.6 No Separate Insurance. Tenant shall not take out separate
--- ---------------------
insurance, concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that
required by this Article 9, or increase the amount of any insurance by securing
---------
an additional policy or additional policies, if such separate insurance would
reduce the insurance protection afforded Landlord pursuant to the terms of this
Article 9. In the event Tenant shall take out any such separate insurance or
---------
increase any of the amounts of the then existing insurance, Tenant shall give
Landlord prompt Notice thereof.
9.7 Indemnification of Landlord. Subject to the provision of
--- ---------------------------
Section 9.3, Notwithstanding the existence of any insurance provided for herein
-----------
and without regard to the policy limits of any such insurance, Tenant, or
Tenant's Parent or Affiliate pursuant to the Guaranty, shall protect, indemnify
and hold harmless Landlord, the REIT and Advisors, for, from and against all
liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs
and reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
fees), to the maximum extent permitted by law, imposed upon or incurred by or
asserted against Landlord, the REIT or Advisors, by reason of: (a) any accident,
injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property occurring on or
about the Leased Property or adjoining sidewalks or rights of way; (b) any past,
present or future use, misuse, non-use, condition, management, maintenance or
repair by Tenant or anyone claiming under Tenant of the Leased Property or
Tenant's Personal Property or any litigation, proceeding or claim by
governmental entities or other third parties to which Landlord, the REIT or
Advisors, is made a party or participant relating to the Leased Property, or
Tenant's Personal Property or such use, misuse, non-use, condition, management,
maintenance, or repair thereof including failure to perform obligations (other
than Condemnation proceedings) to which Landlord, the REIT or Advisors, is made
a party; (c) any Impositions that are the obligations of Tenant to pay pursuant
to the applicable provisions of this Agreement; (d) the imposition of any "dram
act" or similar law relating to liability resulting from the service of wine,
beer, liquor or other alcoholic beverages; and (e) any failure on the part of
Tenant or anyone claiming under Tenant to perform or comply with any of the
terms of this Agreement or the Participating Leases unless any such liability,
obligation, claim, damage, penalty, cause of action, cost or reasonable
attorneys' fees were incurred as a result of Landlord's, the REIT's or
Advisors', gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, for so
long as Landlord reasonably determines that its interests are being sufficiently
protected and defended by the insurers, pursuant to the policies of insurance
required to be maintained by Tenant pursuant to this Article 9, Tenant shall not
---------
be obligated to defend Landlord in any such action; provided, further, however,
if at any time Landlord reasonably determines that its interests are not being
sufficiently protected and defended, then Tenant shall immediately comply with
all of the obligations imposed pursuant to this Section 9.7. Except as
-----------
expressly provided herein, Tenant, at its expense, shall contest, resist and
defend any such claim, action or proceeding asserted or instituted against
Landlord, the REIT or Advisors, with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord,
the REIT or Advisors, or may compromise or otherwise dispose of the same within
the policy limits afforded by such insurance, without Landlord's, the REIT's or
Advisors', prior consent, unless such compromise would have a material adverse
effect on Landlord, or would otherwise prejudice Landlord's rights thereunder.
The obligations
38
of Tenant under this Section 9.7 are in addition to the
-----------
obligations set forth in Section 4.3 and shall survive the termination of this
-----------
Agreement.
9.8 Increase in Limits. If Landlord at any time reasonably deems
--- ------------------
the limits of the personal injury or property damage under the commercial public
liability insurance then carried by Tenant to be insufficient, Landlord and
Tenant shall endeavor in good faith to agree on the proper and reasonable limits
for such insurance to be carried and such insurance shall thereafter be carried
with the limits thus agreed on until further change pursuant to the provisions
of this Section 9.8. If the parties fail to agree on such limits, the matter
-----------
shall be referred to arbitration as provided for in Article 23.
----------
ARTICLE 10
----------
CASUALTY
--------
10.1 Insurance Proceeds. Except as provided in the last clause of
---- ------------------
this sentence and except as provided in Section 10.4, all proceeds payable by
------------
reason of any loss or damage to the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, and
insured under any policy of insurance required by Article 9 shall be paid
---------
directly to Landlord. If Tenant is required to reconstruct or repair the Leased
Property as provided herein, such proceeds as are made available by any Hotel
Mortgagee shall be paid out by Landlord from time to time for the costs of
reconstruction or repair of the Leased Property necessitated by such damage or
destruction, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2.2.
--------------
In the event that the provisions of Section 10.2.1 are applicable, the insurance
--------------
proceeds shall be retained by the party entitled thereto pursuant to Section
-------
10.2.1. All salvage resulting from any risk covered by insurance shall belong
------
to Landlord, provided any rights to the same have been waived by the insurer.
10.2 Damage or Destruction.
---- ---------------------
10.2.1 Damage or Destruction of Leased Property. In the event (a) the
------ ----------------------------------------
Leased Property is damaged by fire, explosion or other casualty insured
under the fire and extended coverage insurance policy required hereunder
(an "Insured Casualty") to the extent of twenty-five percent (25%) or more
----------------
of the insurable value thereof immediately preceding the casualty, (b) the
Leased Property is damaged by a casualty or occurrence other than an
Insured Casualty, (c) such damage occurs at anytime within the last six (6)
months of the Term, (d) the Leased Property or any portion thereof is
damaged by fire, explosion or other casualty and the Leased Property cannot
be repaired, rebuilt or restored to the same condition under the terms of
the Franchise Agreement, under any Legal Requirements or other governmental
order or under any other agreement to which the Leased Property is subject
or (e) a casualty occurs to a portion of the Hotel which renders the Hotel
Unsuitable for Its Permitted Use (a "Prohibited Casualty"), then in such
-------------------
event Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Agreement by giving written
notice of termination to the other party within thirty (30) days after the
happening of the event causing the damage. In the event the damage is not
extensive enough to give rise to Landlord's option to terminate this
Agreement, a Prohibited Casualty has not occurred, or
39
Landlord does not elect to terminate this Agreement, Landlord, at
Landlord's sole cost and expense shall promptly repair and replace the
Leased Property to the condition existing immediately preceding such fire,
explosion or other casualty. During any period of reconstruction or repair
of the Leased Property, (i) Landlord shall make any business interruption
insurance proceeds available to Tenant to pay necessary operating expenses
and Rent with respect to the Leased Property, (ii) Tenant shall operate its
business in the Leased Property to the extent practicable, and (iii)
Minimum Rent payable under this Agreement by Tenant shall be abated during
the period of such repair and restoration to the extent the Leased Property
is not tenantable.
10.2.2 Disbursement of Proceeds. In the event Tenant undertakes to
------ ------------------------
restore the Leased Property after an Insured Casualty or, if this Agreement
has not been terminated, a Prohibited Casualty, Tenant shall (or shall
cause the Manager to) commence promptly and continue diligently to perform
the repair and restoration of the Leased Property (hereinafter called the
"Work"), so as to restore the Leased Property in compliance with all Legal
----
Requirements and so that the Leased Property shall be, to the extent
practicable, substantially equivalent in value and general utility to its
general utility and value immediately prior to such damage or destruction.
Subject to the terms hereof, Landlord shall advance the insurance proceeds
to Tenant regularly during the repair and restoration period so as to
permit payment for the cost of any such restoration and repair. Any such
advances shall be made not more than monthly within ten (10) Business Days
after Tenant submits to Landlord a written requisition and substantiation
therefor containing such information and in such form as may be reasonably
required by Landlord. Landlord may, at its option, condition advancement
of said insurance proceeds and other amounts on (a) the absence of any
Event of Default, (b) its approval of plans and specifications of an
architect satisfactory to Landlord (which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), (c) general contractors' estimates, (d)
architect's certificates, (e) unconditional lien waivers of general
contractors, if available, (f) evidence of approval by all governmental
authorities and other regulatory bodies whose approval is required and (g)
such other certificates as Landlord may, from time to time, reasonably
require. Landlord's obligation to disburse insurance proceeds under this
Article 10 shall be subject to the release of such proceeds by any Hotel
----------
Mortgagee to Landlord. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Agreement, in the event that any Hotel Mortgagee does not release insurance
proceeds to Landlord, unless Landlord determines, in its sole and absolute
discretion, to make monies in the amount of such proceeds available to
Tenant for repair or restoration of the Leased Property, Tenant shall have
no obligation to repair or restore the Leased Property. If a Hotel
Mortgagee or Landlord releases only a portion of insurance proceeds to
Tenant and Landlord does not, in its sole and absolute discretion, make
any shortfall in the amount of insurance proceeds released by a Hotel
Mortgagee available to Tenant for repair or restoration of the Leased
Property, Tenant shall only be obligated to repair and restore the Leased
Property to the extent of moneys released by Hotel Mortgagee or Landlord,
plus any sums made available by Landlord for repairs and restoration.
10.3 Damage Near End of Term. Notwithstanding any provisions of
---- -----------------------
Section 10.1 or 10.2 to the contrary, if damage to or destruction of the Leased
--------------------
Property occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Term and if such
damage or destruction cannot reasonably be
40
expected to be fully repaired and restored prior to the date that is six (6)
months prior to the end of the Term, the provisions of Section 10.2.1 shall
--------------
apply as if the Leased Property had been totally or partially destroyed and the
Hotel rendered Unsuitable for its Permitted Use.
10.4 Tenant's Property. All insurance proceeds payable by reason of
---- -----------------
any loss of or damage to any of Tenant's Personal Property shall be paid to
Tenant and, to the extent necessary to repair or replace Tenant's Personal
Property in accordance with Section 10.5, Tenant shall hold such proceeds to pay
------------
the cost of repairing or replacing damaged Tenant's Personal Property.
10.5 Restoration of Tenant's Property. If Tenant is required to
---- --------------------------------
restore the Leased Property as hereinabove provided, Tenant shall either (a)
restore Tenant's Personal Property, if any, or (b) replace Tenant's Personal
Property, if any, with items of the same or better quality and utility to the
operation of the Leased Property.
10.6 Waiver. Tenant hereby waives any statutory rights of
---- ------
termination which may arise by reason of any damage or destruction of the Leased
Property.
10.7 Casualty -- Conflicting Terms. Notwithstanding any provision of
---- -----------------------------
this Article 10 to the contrary, if any Hotel Mortgage, **[Sea View -- Ground
----------
Lease,]** or Management Agreement contains provisions which apply in the event
of a casualty and which are in conflict with the terms of this Article 10, then
----------
such Hotel Mortgage, **[Sea View -- Ground Lease,]** or Management Agreement
shall control to the extent of such conflict.
ARTICLE 11
----------
CONDEMNATION
------------
11.1 Total Condemnation, Etc. In the event (a) the whole of the
---- -----------------------
Leased Property shall be taken or condemned for a public or quasi-public use or
purpose by a Condemnor or sold by Landlord in lieu thereof, (b) such a portion
of the Leased Property shall be taken, condemned or sold in lieu thereof so that
the balance cannot be used for the same purpose and with substantially the same
utility to Tenant as immediately prior to such taking, or (c) the Leased
Property or any portion thereof shall be taken or condemned for a pubic or
quasi-public use or purpose by a Condemnor or sold by Landlord in lieu thereof
and Landlord is unable to repair, rebuild or restore the same under the terms of
any agreement to which it is a party, under the Franchise Agreement or under any
Legal Requirements or other governmental order to which Landlord or the Leased
Property is subject (a "Prohibited Taking"), this Agreement shall terminate upon
-----------------
delivery of possession to the Condemnor or its assignee, and any Award shall be
paid to and be the sole property of Landlord whether the Award shall be made as
compensation for diminution of the value of the leasehold estate or the fee of
the Land or otherwise, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of Tenant's
right, title and interest in and to any and all of the Award. Tenant shall
have no claim against Landlord by reason of such taking or termination and shall
not have any claim or right to any portion of the Award to be paid to Landlord.
Tenant shall continue to pay Rent and other charges hereunder until the
Agreement is terminated.
11.2 Partial Taking. In the event (a) only a part of the Leased
---- --------------
Property is taken or condemned but the Leased Property or the part remaining can
still be used for the same purpose
41
and with substantially the same utility to Tenant as immediately prior to such
taking, or (b) a Prohibited Taking has not occurred, this Agreement shall not
terminate and Landlord, at Landlord's sole cost and expense, shall repair and
restore the remaining Leased Improvements provided the cost and expense of such
repair and restoration does not exceed the amount of the Award. If the cost of
such repair and restoration exceeds the amount of the Award, Landlord may
terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of termination to Tenant
within thirty (30) days of the delivery of possession to the Condemnor. If
Landlord is obligated to repair and restore the remaining Leased Improvements as
herein provided, there shall be no abatement or reduction in any Rent or other
charges payable by Tenant under this Agreement because of such taking or
condemnation; provided, however, Minimum Rent shall be abated (i) during the
period of such restoration, to the extent the Leased Property is not tenantable,
or (ii) following the completion of the restoration, to the extent the Leased
Improvements are not tenantable.
11.3 Tenant's Award. Tenant shall have no right to claim and recover
---- --------------
from the Condemnor or from Landlord such compensation as may otherwise be
separately awarded to Tenant for any damage to Tenant's business by reason of
such condemnation and for any cost or loss incurred by Tenant in removing or
relocating Tenant's merchandise, fixtures and furnishings to the extent same
would decrease Landlord's Award.
11.4 Condemnation -- Conflicting Terms. Notwithstanding any
---- ---------------------------------
provision of this Article 11 to the contrary, if any Hotel Mortgage, **[Sea View
----------
-- Ground Lease,]** or Management Agreement contains provisions which apply in
the event of a condemnation and which are in conflict with the Terms of this
Article 11, then such Hotel Mortgage, **[Sea View -- Ground Lease,]** or
----------
Management Agreement shall control to the extent of such conflict.
ARTICLE 12
----------
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
---------------------
12.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the
---- -----------------
following events shall constitute an "Event of Default" hereunder:
----------------

other sum when due and such failure shall continue for a period of ten
(10) days after notice by Landlord; provided, however, that in the
event Landlord has given two (2) such notices in any one (1) Fiscal
Year, Landlord shall not be required to give any further notices and,
thereafter, an Event of Default shall then occur; or
(b) should Tenant or the Manager fail to reimburse Landlord for
the costs of insurance maintained under Article 9, or should Tenant or
---------
the Manager fail to maintain any insurance coverages required under
Article 9, and such failure shall continue for ten (10) days after

Notice thereof (except that no Notice shall be required if any such
insurance coverages shall have lapsed); or

any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained herein to be
performed or
42
observed by it (other than as specified in clauses (a)
and (b) above and (d) through (s) below) such default shall continue
for a period of thirty (30) days after Notice thereof from Landlord to
Tenant; provided, however, that if such default is susceptible of cure
-------- -------
but such cure cannot be accomplished with due diligence within such
period of time and if, in addition, Tenant commences to cure or cause
to be cured such default within fifteen (15) days after Notice thereof
from Landlord and thereafter prosecutes the curing of such default
with all due diligence, such period of time shall be extended to such
period of time as may be reasonably and commercially necessary to cure
such default with all due diligence; or
(d) should an event of default occur and be continuing beyond the
expiration of any applicable cure period under any of the Incidental
Documents; or
(e) should there occur a final unappealable determination by a
Government Agency of the revocation or limitation of any material

certification or approval under any other circumstances under which
Tenant or the Manager is required to cease its operation of the Hotel
in accordance with its Permitted Use at the time of such loss or

any substantial part of its assets, or if an order for relief shall be
entered in any case or proceeding for liquidation or reorganization or
otherwise to take advantage of any bankruptcy or insolvency law of any

the mortgagee or beneficiary, as applicable, under any such leasehold
mortgage or leasehold deed of trust or other similar security document
accelerate the indebtedness secured thereby or commence a foreclosure
action in connection with said leasehold mortgage; provided, however,
if (i) Tenant agrees in writing to indemnify Landlord for any and all
costs, expenses, and fees of Landlord (including reasonable attorneys'
fees) in connection with said default, and (ii) Landlord's interest in
the Leased Property will not be materially adversely effected by any

proceeding and the same shall not be vacated or discharged within the
later of (i) one hundred twenty (120) days after commencement thereof,

Article 8); or
---------
(k) should any default by Tenant as "Owner" under the Management
Agreement occur and be continuing beyond the expiration of any
applicable cure period under the Management Agreement; or
(l) should a Change of Control of Tenant occur other than as

which case the cure period will be extended to one hundred eighty
(180) days; provided, however, if such failure cannot be cured
-------- -------
44

or
(u) Should there be a Change in Operation without Landlord's
prior written consent which such Change in Operation is not corrected

provided in Section 21.4;
------------
then, and in any such event, Landlord, in addition to all other remedies
available to it, may terminate this Agreement by giving Notice thereof to Tenant

Agreement shall terminate and all rights of Tenant under this Agreement shall
cease. Landlord shall have and may exercise all rights and remedies available
at law and in equity to Landlord as a result of Tenant's breach of this
Agreement.
12.2 Remedies. None of (a) the termination of this Agreement
---- --------
pursuant to Section 12.1, (b) the repossession of the Leased Property or any
------------
portion thereof, (c) the failure of Landlord to re-let the Leased Property or
any portion thereof, nor (d) the re-letting of all or any portion of the Leased
Property, shall relieve Tenant of its liability and obligations hereunder, all
of which shall survive any such termination, repossession or re-letting. In the
event of any such termination, Tenant shall forthwith pay to Landlord all Rent
due and payable with respect to the Leased Property through and including the
date of such termination. Thereafter, Tenant, until the end of what would have
been the Term of this Agreement in the absence of such termination, and whether
or not the Leased Property or any portion thereof shall have been re-let, shall
be liable to Landlord for, and shall pay to Landlord, as current damages, the
Rent and other charges which would be payable hereunder for the remainder of the
Term had such termination not occurred, less the net proceeds, if any, of any
re-letting of the Leased Property, after deducting all reasonable expenses in
connection with such re-letting, including, without limitation, all repossession
costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, attorneys' fees, advertising,
expenses of employees, alteration costs and expenses of preparation for such re-
letting. Tenant shall pay
45
such current damages to Landlord monthly on the days on which the Minimum Rent
would have been payable hereunder if this Agreement had not been so terminated.
At any time after such termination, as liquidated final damages beyond the date
of such termination, at Landlord's election, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an
amount equal to the present value (discounted at the Interest Rate) of the
excess, if any, of the Rent and other charges which would be payable hereunder
from the date of such termination (assuming that, for the purposes of this
Section 12.2, annual payments by Tenant on account of Additional Charges and
------------
Participating Rent would be the same as payments required for the immediately
preceding twelve (12) calendar months, or if less than twelve (12) calendar
months have expired since the Commencement Date, the payments required for such
lesser period adjusted to an annual amount) for what would be the then unexpired
term of this Agreement if the same remained in effect, over the fair market
rental for the same period, less any current damages already paid by Tenant.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall, however, limit or prejudice the right
of Landlord to prove and obtain in proceedings for bankruptcy or insolvency an
amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at
the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, the damages are to be
proved, whether or not the amount be greater than, equal to, or less than the
amount of the loss or damages referred to above. In case of any Event of
Default, re-entry, expiration and dispossession by summary proceedings or
otherwise, Landlord may (a) re-let the Leased Property or any part or parts
thereof, either in the name of Landlord or otherwise, for a term or terms which
may at Landlord's option, be equal to, less than or exceed the period which
would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term and may grant
concessions or free rent to the extent that Landlord considers advisable and
necessary to re-let the same, and (b) may make such reasonable alterations,
repairs and decorations in the Leased Property or any portion thereof as
Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion, considers advisable and necessary
for the purpose of re-letting the Leased Property; and the making of such
alterations, repairs and decorations shall not operate or be construed to
release Tenant from liability hereunder as aforesaid. Landlord shall in no event
be liable in any way whatsoever for any failure to re-let all or any portion of
the Leased Property, or, in the event that the Leased Property is re-let, for
failure to collect the rent under such re-letting. To the maximum extent
permitted by law, Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights of
redemption granted under any present or future laws in the event of Tenant being
evicted or dispossessed, or in the event of Landlord obtaining possession of the
Leased Property, by reason of the occurrence and continuation of an Event of
Default hereunder. Additionally, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
Landlord may, in addition to any other remedies provided herein or available at
law or in equity, enter upon the Leased Property or any portion thereof and take
possession of any and all of Tenant's Personal Property, if any, and the
Records, without liability for trespass or conversion (Tenant hereby waiving any
right to notice or hearing prior to such taking of possession by Landlord) and
sell the same at public or private sale, after giving Tenant reasonable Notice
of the time and place of any public or private sale, at which sale Landlord or
its assigns may purchase all or any portion of Tenant's Personal Property, if
any, unless otherwise prohibited by law. Unless otherwise provided by law and
without intending to exclude any other manner of giving Tenant reasonable
notice, the requirement of reasonable Notice shall be met if such Notice is
given at least ten (10) days before the date of sale. The proceeds from any such
disposition, less all expenses incurred in connection with the taking of
possession, holding and selling of such property (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees) shall be applied as a credit against the
indebtedness which is secured by the security interest granted in Section 7.2.
------------
Any surplus shall
46
be paid to Tenant or as otherwise required by law and Tenant shall pay any
deficiency to Landlord, as Additional Charges, upon demand. Notwithstanding
anything herein contained to the contrary, Tenant shall not be liable to
Landlord for consequential, punitive or exemplary damages.
12.3 Tenant's Waiver. IF THIS AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED PURSUANT TO
---- ---------------
SECTION 12.1 OR 12.2, TENANT WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT
--------------------

SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE 12, AND THE BENEFIT OF ANY LAWS NOW OR HEREAFTER IN

FORCE EXEMPTING PROPERTY FROM LIABILITY FOR RENT OR FOR DEBT.
12.4 Application of Funds. Any payments received by Landlord under
---- --------------------
any of the provisions of this Agreement during the existence or continuance of
any Event of Default (and any payment made to Landlord rather than Tenant due to
the existence of any Event of Default) shall be applied to Tenant's current and
past due obligations under this Agreement in such order as Landlord may
determine or as may be prescribed by the laws of the State.
12.5 Landlord's Right to Cure Tenant's Default. If an Event of
---- -----------------------------------------
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Landlord, after Notice to Tenant
(which Notice shall not be required if Landlord shall reasonably determine
immediate action is necessary to protect person or property), without waiving or
releasing any obligation of Tenant and without waiving or releasing any Event of
Default, may (but shall not be obligated to), at any time thereafter, make such
payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of Tenant, and
may, to the maximum extent permitted by law, enter upon the Leased Property or
any portion thereof for such purpose and take all such action thereon as, in
Landlord's sole and absolute discretion, may be necessary or appropriate
therefor. No such entry shall be deemed an eviction of Tenant. All reasonable
costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees)
incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, together with interest thereon (to
the extent permitted by law) at the Overdue Rate from the date such sums are
paid by Landlord until repaid, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord, on demand.
ARTICLE 13
----------
HOLDING OVER
------------
13.1 Holding Over. Any holding over by Tenant after the
---- ------------
expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement after thirty (30) days prior
written notice by Landlord shall be treated as a daily tenancy at sufferance at
a rate equal to one and one-half (1.5) times the Rent and other charges herein
provided (prorated on a daily basis). Tenant shall also pay to Landlord all
direct damages sustained by reason of any such holding over. Otherwise, such
holding over shall be on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement,
to the extent applicable. Nothing contained herein shall constitute the
consent, express or implied, of Landlord to the holding over of Tenant after the
expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

directors, trustees, partners, advisors, agents, employees, or their respective
successors or assigns or any mortgagee in possession, with respect to any of the
terms, covenants, or conditions of this Agreement with respect to any act,

satisfaction of Tenant's remedies whether for the collection of any judgment or
other judicial process requiring the payment of money by Landlord in the event
of any default by Landlord hereunder or otherwise, and no other property or
assets of Landlord shall be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement
procedure for the satisfaction of Tenant's remedies under or with respect to
this Agreement, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant or Tenant's use or
occupancy of the Leased Property.
(b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, there shall be absolutely no personal liability on the part
of Tenant's Parent or Affiliates with respect to any of the terms,
covenants, or conditions of this Agreement with respect to any act,
omission or negligence of Tenant. Landlord shall look solely to
Tenant's property and the proceeds thereof for the satisfaction of
Landlord's remedies whether for the collection of any judgment or

provided herein, (i) notify the obligor on or issuer of any Security
Deposit to make payment to Landlord of any amounts due or distributed

profits received from the Security Deposit as additional security for
the Security Obligations, except that any money received from the

may determine; provided, however, nothing contained herein shall
preclude Landlord from exercising all rights and remedies available at
law and in equity to Landlord as a result of Tenant's breach of this
Agreement.
15.2 Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Tenant represents
---- -----------------------------------------
and warrants to and covenants and agrees with Landlord that: (a) Tenant will
duly endorse each and every instrument constituting the Security Deposit by

necessary action as it deems appropriate to preserve, protect, replenish and
maintain the Security Deposit and the rights represented and evidenced by the
Security Deposit, and the costs and expenses thereof shall be paid by Tenant;
provided, however, Landlord shall not have any liability for any loss to the
Security Deposit not attributable to Landlord's gross negligence, or intentional
misconduct, and no such loss shall relieve Tenant of
49
its obligations under this Agreement. Landlord shall, at the Termination of this
Agreement, and after the surrender of the Leased Property pursuant to the Terms
of Article 5 hereof, return the balance, if any, of the Security Deposit to
Tenant.

SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT
-------------------------
16.1 Subletting and Assignment. Tenant shall not, except in the
---- -------------------------
ordinary course of hotel operations and as otherwise expressly provided herein,
without Landlord's prior written consent (which consent may be given or withheld
in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion), assign, mortgage, pledge,
hypothecate, encumber or otherwise transfer this Agreement or sublease (which
term shall be deemed to include the granting of concessions, licenses and the
like), all or any part of the Leased Property or suffer or permit this Agreement
or the leasehold estate created hereby or any other rights arising under this
Agreement to be assigned, transferred, mortgaged, pledged, hypothecated or
encumbered, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by
operation of law, or permit the use or operation of the Leased Property by any
Person other than Tenant and the Manager, on behalf of Tenant pursuant to the
express terms of the Management Agreement, or the Leased Property to be offered
or advertised for assignment or subletting. For purposes of this Section 16.1,
------------
an assignment of this Agreement shall be deemed to include any transaction
pursuant to which Tenant is merged or consolidated with another Person or
pursuant to which all or substantially all of Tenant's assets are transferred to
any other Entity, as if such Change in Control or transaction were an assignment
of this Agreement; provided, however, Tenant shall have the right to assign this
Agreement to any successor or assignee of Tenant which may result from any
merger, consolidation or reorganization or to another corporation or entity
which acquires all or substantially all of the business and assets of Tenant as
long as Tenant remains liable hereunder. No subletting or assignment shall in
any way impair the continuing primary liability of Tenant hereunder (unless
Landlord and Tenant expressly otherwise agree that Tenant shall be released from
all obligations hereunder), and no consent to any subletting or assignment in a
particular instance shall be deemed to be a waiver of the prohibition set forth
in this Section 16.1. No assignment, subletting or occupancy shall affect any
------------
Permitted Use. Any subletting, assignment or other transfer of Tenant's
interest under this Agreement in contravention of this Section 16.1 shall be
------------
voidable at Landlord's option.
16.2 Required Sublease Provisions. Any sublease of all or any
---- ----------------------------
portion of the Leased Property entered into on or after the date hereof shall be
consistent with any applicable terms and conditions of the Management Agreement
and shall provide: (a) that it is subject and subordinate to this Agreement and
to the matters to which this Agreement is or shall be subject or subordinate;
(b) that in the event of termination of this Agreement or reentry or
dispossession of Tenant by Landlord under this Agreement, Landlord may, at its
option, terminate such sublease or take over all of the right, title and
interest of Tenant, as sublessor under such sublease, and such subtenant shall,
at Landlord's option, attorn to Landlord pursuant to the then executory
provisions of such sublease, except that neither Landlord nor any Hotel
Mortgagee, as holder of a mortgage or as Landlord under this Agreement, if such
mortgagee succeeds to that position,
50
shall (i) be liable for any act or omission of Tenant under such sublease, (ii)
be subject to any credit, counterclaim, offset or defense which theretofore
accrued to such subtenant against Tenant, (iii) be bound by any previous
modification of such sublease not consented to in writing by Landlord or by any
previous prepayment of more than one (1) month's Rent, (iv) be bound by any
covenant of Tenant to undertake or complete any construction of the Leased
Property or any portion thereof, (v) be required to account for any security
deposit of the subtenant other than any security deposit actually delivered to
Landlord by Tenant, (vi) be bound by any obligation to make any payment to such
subtenant or grant any credits, except for services, repairs, maintenance and
restoration provided for under the sublease that are performed after the date of
such attornment, (vii) be responsible for any monies owing by Tenant to the
credit of such subtenant, or (viii) be required to remove any Person occupying
any portion of the Leased Property; and (c) in the event that such subtenant
receives a written Notice from Landlord or any Hotel Mortgagee stating that an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such subtenant shall thereafter
be obligated to pay all rentals accruing under such sublease directly to the
party giving such Notice or as such party may direct for so long as such Event
of Default remains uncured. All rentals received from such subtenant by Landlord
or the Hotel Mortgagee, as the case may be, shall be credited against the
amounts owing by Tenant under this Agreement and such sublease shall provide
that the subtenant thereunder shall, at the request of Landlord, execute a
suitable instrument in confirmation of such agreement to attorn. An original
counterpart of each such sublease and assignment and assumption, duly executed
by Tenant and such subtenant or assignee, as the case may be, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, shall be delivered promptly to
Landlord and (a) in the case of an assignment, the assignee shall assume in
writing and agree to keep and perform all of the terms of this Agreement on the
part of Tenant to be kept and performed and shall be, and become, jointly and
severally liable with Tenant for the performance thereof and (b) in case of
either an assignment or subletting, Tenant shall remain primarily liable, as
principal rather than as surety, for the prompt payment of the Rent and for the
performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions to be
performed by Tenant hereunder. The provisions of this Section 16.2 shall not be
------------
deemed a waiver of the provisions set forth in Section 16.1.
------------
16.3 Sublease Limitation. For so long as the REIT shall seek to
---- -------------------
qualify as a real estate investment trust, anything contained in this Agreement
to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant shall not sublet the leased Property on
any basis such that the rental to be paid by any sublessee thereunder would be
based, in whole or in part, on either (a) the net income or profits derived by
the business activities of such sublessee, or (b) any other formula such that
any portion of such sublease rental, if it were paid as rent directly to the
REIT, would fail to qualify as "rents from real property" within the meaning of
Section 856(d) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto nor
shall Tenant sublease the Leased Property to, or enter into any similar
arrangement with, any Person in which the REIT owns, directly or indirectly, a
10% or more interest, within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code or any
similar or successor provisions thereto; provided, however, after Landlord has
approved such sublease, the failure of Tenant to comply with this Section 16.3
------------
shall not constitute an Event of Default with respect to such sublease, as
approved.

aggregate adjusted tax bases of the Leased Property at the beginning and at the

investment trust under the applicable provisions of the Code. This Section 19.1
------------
is intended to ensure that all of the Rent qualifies as "rents from real
property," within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code, and as rents

or net profits of Tenant, within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code, or
any similar or successor provision thereto. Anything contained in this
Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant shall not take, or permit an
Affiliate of Tenant to take, any action that would cause the REIT to own
directly or indirectly, a 10% or more interest in the
58
Tenant, or in the assets or net profits of Tenant, within the meaning of Section
856(d) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto.

employees of, or own any ownership interest in, Tenant or any Affiliate thereof
(or any Person who furnishes or renders services to the Tenant or manages or

employees of Tenant or any Affiliate thereof (or of any Person who furnishes or

notifying Tenant of any breach of this covenant, Tenant, within thirty (30) days
after Notice thereof, cures, or causes to be cured, such breach.

------------
subordinate to the rights of Tenant under this Agreement. Additionally, Tenant

such Hotel Mortgagee's designee necessary or appropriate to operate the Leased
Property). Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate in (a) including in this
Agreement by suitable amendment from time to time any provision which may be
reasonably requested by any proposed lender, or may otherwise be reasonably
necessary, to implement the provisions of this Section 20.1 and (b) entering

each and every advance made or hereafter to be made under such mortgages and
deeds of trust, and to all renewals, modifications, replacements and extensions
of such leases and such mortgages and deeds of trust and all consolidations of
such mortgages and deeds of trust. This Section 20.2 shall be self operative and

no further instrument of subordination shall be required. In confirmation of
such subordination, Tenant shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver any
instrument that Landlord, the lessor under any such lease or the holder of any
such mortgage or the trustee or beneficiary of any deed of trust or any of their
respective successors in interest may reasonably request to evidence such
subordination. Any lease to which this Agreement is, at the time referred to,
subject and subordinate is herein called "Superior Lease" and the lessor of a

Superior Lease or its successor in interest at the time referred to, is herein
called "Superior Landlord" and any mortgage or deed of trust to which this
-----------------
Agreement is, at the time referred to, subject and subordinate, is herein called
"Superior Mortgage" and the holder, trustee or beneficiary of a Superior
-----------------
Mortgage is herein called "Superior Mortgagee". Tenant shall have no

obligations under any Superior Lease or Superior Mortgage other than those

Section 20.2, if any Superior Landlord or Superior Mortgagee or the nominee or
------------
designee of any Superior Landlord or Superior Mortgagee shall succeed to the
rights of Landlord under this Agreement (any such person, "Successor Landlord"),

whether through possession or foreclosure action or delivery of a new lease or
deed, or otherwise, such Successor Landlord shall have the option either to
terminate this Agreement or to recognize Tenant's rights under this Agreement as
herein provided and, in such latter event, Tenant shall attorn to and recognize
the Successor Landlord as Tenant's landlord under this Agreement and Tenant
shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that such Successor Landlord
may reasonably request to evidence such attornment (provided that such
instrument does not alter the terms of this Agreement), whereupon, this
Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between the
Successor Landlord and Tenant upon all of the terms, conditions and covenants as
are set forth in this Agreement, except that the Successor Landlord (unless
formerly the landlord under this Agreement or its nominee, designee or
Affiliate) shall not be (a) liable in any way to Tenant for any act or omission,
neglect or default on the part of any prior Landlord under this Agreement, (b)
responsible for any monies owing by or on deposit with any prior Landlord to the
credit of Tenant (except to the extent actually paid, credited or delivered to
the Successor Landlord), (c) subject to any counterclaim or setoff which
theretofore accrued to Tenant against any prior Landlord, (d) bound by any
modification of this Agreement subsequent to such Superior Lease or Mortgage, or
by any previous prepayment of Minimum Rent or Participating Rent for more than
one (1) month in advance of the date due hereunder, which was not approved in
writing by the Superior Landlord or the Superior Mortgagee thereto, (e) liable
to Tenant beyond the Successor Landlord's interest in the Leased Property and

occupancy by Tenant or with respect to any insurance or Condemnation proceeds),

thereof, except if such Person claims by, through or under the Successor
Landlord. Tenant agrees at any time and from time to time to execute a suitable
instrument in confirmation of Tenant's agreement to attorn, as aforesaid and, if
Tenant has been
60
requested to attorn, Landlord agrees to provide Tenant with an instrument of
non-disturbance and attornment from each such Superior Mortgagee and Superior
Landlord in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Tenant.

receipt by Tenant of Notice from Landlord as to the identity of any Hotel
Mortgagee or ground lessor under a lease with Landlord, as ground lessee, which

Event has occurred, then the time period for determining a Revenue Performance
Shortfall shall be extended for a period of time equal to the time period for

the amount necessary during such Fiscal Year to ensure that Landlord receives
the same amount of Participating Rent as Landlord would have received had there
not been a Revenue Performance Shortfall. Landlord shall have no obligation to
repay any amount advanced by Tenant to cure a Revenue Performance Shortfall.
Nothing contained in this Section 21.11 shall be construed to alter or affect

termination as provided in this subsection and unless caused by
casualty, Condemnation or any other cause beyond Tenant's control),
(ii) the entering into by Landlord of a bona-fide contract to sell the
Leased Property to a non-Affiliate (provided such sale actually
occurs), (iii) a Tax Law Change resulting in Landlord's determination
to terminate this Agreement, (iv) a Change of Control in Tenant (other
than as provided in Section 22.22) or a Change of Control of the

termination, plus interest at the Overdue Rate accruing after the due
date; and (z) all other sums of money then owing by Tenant to
Landlord. Landlord's election to terminate this Agreement as a result
of a Tax Law Change shall be deemed to be a determination to
simultaneously terminate all Participating Leases and to assume the
obligations of Tenant under the Management Agreement;
21.12 Change in Operations. (a) The following events shall
--------------------
constitute changes in the operation of the Hotel ("Change in Operations") for

the conversion of a subtenant, licensee or concessionaire to an operating
department of the Hotel or vice-versa without Landlord's consent, or (iii)
Tenant's decision to delegate or eliminate the operation of any food or beverage
operations at the Hotel, or (iv) the repositioning or expansion of the Hotel.
64
(b) If Tenant desires to implement a Change in Operations,
Landlord may accept or reject such change in its sole and absolute
discretion. If Landlord does not consent to the Change in Operations,

Operations and this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no
adjustment of Rent pursuant to a Change in Operations shall be
implemented without the receipt by Landlord of an opinion from its tax
counsel, satisfactory to Landlord in form and substance, that such
adjustment will not adversely affect the REIT's ability to qualify as
a real estate investment trust under the applicable provisions of the
Code.

Landlord and Tenant herein are hereby expressly limited so that in no
contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of Rent, or
otherwise, shall the Rent or any other amounts payable to Landlord under this
Agreement exceed the maximum permissible under applicable law, the benefit of
which may be asserted by Tenant as a defense, and if, from any circumstance
whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Agreement, at the time
performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit
of validity prescribed by law, or if from any circumstances Landlord should ever
receive as fulfillment of such provision such an excessive amount, then, ipso
----
facto, the amount which would be excessive shall be applied to the reduction of
-----
the installment(s) of Minimum Rent next due and not to the payment of such
excessive amount. This provision shall control every other provision of this
Agreement and any other agreements between Landlord and Tenant.
22.2 No Waiver. No failure by Landlord or Tenant to insist upon the
---- ---------
strict performance of any term hereof or to exercise any right, power or remedy
consequent upon a breach thereof, and no acceptance of full or partial payment
of Rent during the continuance of any such breach, shall constitute a waiver of
any such breach or of any such term. To the maximum extent permitted by law, no
waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Agreement, which shall continue
in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent
breach.
22.3 Remedies Cumulative. To the maximum extent permitted by law,

remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or subsequent exercise by Landlord
of any or all of such other rights, powers and remedies.

Agreement or of the Leased Property or any part thereof, or of any interest
therein, shall be valid or effective unless agreed to and accepted in writing by

other than such a written acceptance by Landlord, shall constitute an acceptance
of any such surrender.
22.6 No Merger of Title. It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that

transferred the Security Deposit and any escrows held hereunder, Landlord or
such successor owner, as the case may be, shall thereupon be released from all
future liabilities and obligations of Landlord under this Agreement with respect
to such of the Leased Property arising or accruing from and after the date of
such conveyance or other transfer and all such future liabilities and
obligations shall thereupon be binding upon the new owner.

occurred and be continuing, Tenant shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and
enjoy the Leased Property for the Term, free of hindrance or molestation by

----------
created by Landlord hereunder, (b) all Permitted Encumbrances, (c) Liens as to
obligations of Landlord that are either not yet due or which are being contested

interfere with Tenant's ability to operate the Hotel and (d) Liens that have
been consented to in writing by Tenant. Except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, no failure by Landlord to comply with the foregoing covenant shall
give Tenant any right to cancel or terminate this Agreement or xxxxx, reduce or

this Agreement, or to fail to perform any other obligation of Tenant hereunder.
