EXTENDED-STAY
MANAGEMENT ASSISTANCE AGREEMENT
-------------------------------
This Extended-Stay Management Assistance Agreement (this "Agreement") is
---------
entered into as of August 26, 1996, between EXTENDED STAY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a
Delaware limited partnership ("Owner"), and WYNDHAM MANAGEMENT CORPORATION, a
-----
Delaware corporation ("Manager").
-------
RECITALS
--------
Owner intends to acquire and develop mid-priced, extended-stay lodging
facilities ("Hotels") and has requested that Manager enter into certain
------
agreements regarding the provision of services in connection therewith. Manager
desires to manage the Hotels and provide the other services set forth herein.
AGREEMENTS
----------
For valuable consideration, whose receipt and sufficiency are acknowledged,
the parties agree as follows:
1 Term. The term of this Agreement (the "Term") shall begin on the date
---- ----
hereof and continue through the earlier of December 31, 1998, or the date on
which a Management Agreement (defined below) is executed by Owner and Manager
for the 60th Hotel pursuant to the terms hereof; however, if (a) Owner sells all
or substantially all of its assets to a person that is not an Affiliate (defined
below) of Owner or (b) if a person (which is not an Affiliate of the persons
currently owning the beneficial interests in Owner) acquires control of Owner,
directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, then either Owner or
Manager may terminate this Agreement by delivering at least 60-days' prior
written notice thereof to the other party. "Affiliate" means another person
---------
that directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is
controlled by or is under common control with the person in question. The term
"control" means the possession, direct or indirect, of power to direct or cause
-------
the direction of the management policies of a person, whether through the
ownership of voting securities or otherwise and shall in any event include
ownership or power to vote 50% or more of the outstanding equity interests of
such person, but shall not include, in and of itself, changes in the members of
the board of directors of a person that is a corporation. The term "person"
------
means a person or entity. The extended-stay facility located in Grand Prairie,
Texas and currently operated under the name "Studio Suites" shall be a Hotel for
which a Management Agreement has been entered.
2 Technical Services. Manager shall assist Owner in developing interior
------------------
and exterior design concepts and detailed purchasing specifications for Owner's
prototype Hotel. Owner and Manager acknowledge the services described in the
previous sentence regarding exterior design have been performed. For such
services, Owner shall pay Manager $25,000 in five installments of $5,000 each,
with one installment being due upon the execution of each of the first five
Management Agreements (defined below). If Owner desires Manager's services in
connection with a material change in the interior or exterior design or
purchasing specifications for its Hotel, then Owner and Manager shall enter into
a technical services agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
each party, for such services.
3 Management. If, during the Term, Owner or an Affiliate thereof acquires
----------
a Hotel or acquires land for the construction of a Hotel, then, subject to the
following sentences, Owner and Manager shall enter into a ten-year Management
Agreement for the Hotel in question, whose form is attached as Exhibit A (the
---------
"Management Agreement"); however, the Management Agreements for the five hotels
---------------------
owned by VPS I, Ltd. shall not provide for any termination fee in connection
with the termination thereof and shall provide such incentive fee as Owner and
Manager may agree upon. Manager shall not be required to enter into a Management
Agreement for a Hotel if Manager reasonably determines in good faith that its
management of that Hotel could reasonably be expected to (a) subject Manager to
any material liability that is not typically incurred in the hotel management
business or (b) cause Manager to violate any law, court order, or presently
existing contractual obligations or restrictions. If Manager makes such
determination, then it shall so advise Owner within ten business days after
Manager receives (1) notice from Owner of Owner's intention to acquire the Hotel
or site in question and (2) all relevant information necessary to make such
determination. If Owner intends to acquire a site or Hotel that is located
outside of the Protected States (defined below) and Manager has a then-existing
business relationship with a lodging facility ("Existing Competing Project")
--------------------------
which would be a Competing Extended-Stay Project (based upon the stabilized pro
forma average weekly rates for the Hotel to be acquired or developed by Owner)
but for its location outside of the Protected States, then Owner shall notify
Manager of its pending acquisition and Manager shall within 30 days following
the receipt of such notice from Owner, notify Owner that Manager will (A)
terminate its business relationship with the Existing Competing Project prior to
the scheduled opening date of the Hotel in question or (B) decline management of
the Hotel in question. If Manager determines not to manage a Hotel pursuant to
the previous two sentences, then Owner may self-manage or engage any other party
to manage such Hotel without payment of any fee to Manager of any kind.
4 Marketing Service. Upon Owner's request, Manager shall perform the
-----------------
following services: (a) provide Owner with marketing research for locations
designated by Owner and assist Owner in determining the suitability of the
acquisition or development of Hotel sites; and (b) promote Hotels which are
subject to Management Agreements through national and local marketing programs
consisting of advertising, promotion, publicity and public relations designed to
attract guests to Hotels, as provided in each individual Management Agreement.
Owner and
2
Manager shall enter into a MIS service agreement under which Manager shall
assist Owner in developing a property management system and related software for
Hotel operations, which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to Owner and Manager.
5 Purchasing Assistance. Owner and Manager shall enter a purchase
---------------------
agreement under which Owner shall use Manager's purchasing procurement
department to acquire furniture, fixtures, and equipment and operating supplies
to be used in the Hotels (collectively, "Operating Equipment"). Such agreement
-------------------
shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Owner and Manager and
shall provide, among other things, the following: Owner shall pay Manager a
commission equal to 5% of the aggregate purchase price of all items acquired
under such agreement; Owner may terminate the agreement at any time by
delivering to Manager at least 90-days' prior written notice thereof, provided
that Owner either (a) reimburses to Manager the amount of penalties or lost
discounts under then-pending volume-discount contracts entered into with Owner's
prior written approval, but only to the extent such lost discounts or penalties
were caused by such termination and are not related to items or quantities that
reasonably can be used at other properties managed or operated by Manager; and
such reimbursement shall be made within ten days after Manager delivers to Owner
evidence reasonably satisfactory to Owner evidencing such lost discounts or
penalties; or (b) allows Manager to continue purchasing the Operating Equipment
that is the subject of such volume-discount contract for the then-remaining term
of such volume-discount contract.
6 Non-Competition.
---------------
(a) Definitions. When used in this Section 6, the following terms shall
have the following meanings:
"Competing Extended-Stay Project" means a lodging facility in any of
-------------------------------
the Protected States whose primary business is the leasing or providing of hotel
rooms to guests for average stays of one week or more for a price that is within
20% of (1) the stabilized proforma average weekly rates for Hotels planned or
under construction in the applicable market of the Protected State in question
or (2) if a Hotel has been completed in such market, the average weekly rates
for completed Hotels operating in the applicable market of the Protected State.
"Portfolio Project" means a Competing Extended-Stay Project acquired
-----------------
in connection with (1) the direct or indirect acquisition of a controlling
interest in another person which owns or manages hotel facilities which include
Competing Extended-Stay Projects or (2) the direct or indirect acquisition in a
single transaction of a controlling interest in hotel facilities which include
Competing Extended-Stay Projects (a "Portfolio Transaction").
---------------------
3
"Protected State" means (1) each of the States described on Exhibit B
--------------- ---------
and (2) other states in the 48 continental United States in which a Hotel exists
for which Owner and Manager have actually entered into a Management Agreement.
"Restricted Radius" means the area in which Manager is prohibited from
-----------------
competing against Owner in the extended-stay lodging business under a Management
Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein.
(b) Manager shall not, directly or indirectly, through one or more
intermediaries, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, construct, own, operate
or manage any Competing Extended-Stay Project during the Term, except as
provided below. If Manager acquires a Portfolio Project, in a Protected State,
then Manager may continue to own, operate or manage the Portfolio Project unless
it is within a Restricted Radius, in which case, Manager shall either (1)
terminate its business relationship with the Portfolio Project within the
Restricted Radius or (2) terminate the Management Agreement for the Hotel in the
Restricted Radius (in which case, no termination fee shall be payable in
connection therewith). Such election shall be made by Manager within 30 days
after the Portfolio Transaction in question occurs and any termination shall be
effective no earlier than 45 nor later than 90 days after such election. If
Manager elects to terminate the Management Agreement for the Hotel in the
Restricted Radius, Owner may elect to keep such Management Agreement in effect
by delivering to Manager written notice thereof, in which case Manager shall
continue to manage such Hotel and may own, operate, or manage the Portfolio
Project in the Restricted Radius. From time to time, Owner and Manager, may, by
mutual agreement, add additional Protected States or delete states as Protected
States to this Agreement by signing and attaching a new Exhibit B hereto
---------
including such State as a Protected State. This non-competition provision is a
material inducement to the execution of this Agreement by Owner, and is
consideration therefor. Manager acknowledges and stipulates that the non-
competition provisions of this Section are reasonable in light of Owner's
agreement to allow Manager to manage Hotels and Owner's intended expansion plans
for developing Hotels during the Term. In addition to all of the other rights
and remedies therefor, each of Manager and Owner shall be entitled to injunctive
relief if either party violates the terms of this Agreement.
7 Severability. If any provision hereof is found to be invalid or
------------
unenforceable, all the other provisions shall remain in full force and effect to
the maximum extent permitted by law and such invalid or unenforceable provisions
shall be interpreted and deemed to be modified so as to give effect to the
intent and purpose thereof to the fullest extent permitted by law.
8 Notices. All notices provided or permitted to be given under this
-------
Agreement must be in writing and may be served by depositing the notice in the
United States Mail addressed to the party to be notified, postage prepaid,
registered or certified with return receipt requested; by delivering the notice
in person to such party or by overnight courier service; or by facsimile
transmission. Notice given in accordance herewith shall be effective when
delivered to the address of the addressee. The address for notices for each
party hereto is set forth under its signature to this
4
Agreement. Any party may change its address for notice by giving three-days'
prior written notice thereof to the other parties.
9 Binding Effect; Governing Law. This Agreement shall be binding on Owner
-----------------------------
and Manager and their respective successors and assigns. Except as provided
below, neither Owner nor Manager may assign its rights or delegate its
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other, which may
be withheld or granted in its sole discretion. Owner may, without Manager's
consent, assign all of its rights and obligations hereunder to Homegate
Hospitality, Inc. ("Homegate") in a merger in which Owner merges with Homegate
--------
in connection with an initial public offering of the common stock of Homegate,
in which case, Owner shall be relieved of all obligations and liabilities
hereunder. Manager may, without Owner's consent, assign its interest in this
Agreement to any Affiliate of Manager having full right, power and authority to
provide to Owner all services and organizational expertise (including applicable
trademarks, service marks and marketing services) which Manager is required to
provide hereunder, provided that all then-existing Management Agreements are
assigned to such Affiliate or (b) any assignee which also acquires all, or
substantially all, of the assets of Manager (including all then-existing
Management Agreements) and assumes its obligation, provided such assignee is
financially responsible and capable of performing the duties of manager
hereunder. This Agreement shall be governed by Texas law.
10 Grant of Right of First Refusal. As an inducement to Manager to enter
into this Agreement, Owner hereby agrees to cause Wyndham Hotel Corporation to
be granted, prior to or concurrently with the closing of any initial public
offering of equity securities of Homegate, a right of first refusal to acquire
the equity interest in Homegate then or thereafter beneficially held by CRI/ESH
Partners, L.P., Xxxxxx Xxxx or any affiliate of either of them or of Crow
Family, Inc. (for purposes hereof, such affiliates are not to include Homegate,
JMI/Greystar Extended Stay Partners, L.P., or JMI/Greystar Extended Stay
Partners, L.P.'s affiliates). Such right of first refusal shall be exercisable
from and after such time as the securities covered thereby are registered for
sale pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or otherwise are
eligible for sale on the open market, and such right of first refusal otherwise
shall be on such terms as Wyndham Hotel Corporation and such parties may
agree.

Manager; provided, however, that Owner shall approve or disapprove any such
matter involving pending litigation concerning the Project within ten (10)
business days after being notified thereof by Manager. If Owner does not

likely to have a material adverse impact on the operation and performance of the
Hotel.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) above, so long as
Manager complies with the following provisions of this subsection (b), during
the Term Manager may enter into and consummate one or more Portfolio
Transactions even if the consummation thereof would result in a violation of
subsection (a). If Manager consummates a Portfolio Transaction and the effect
thereof is to violate the provisions of subsection (a), then Manager shall, at
its election, either (i) terminate its business relationship with the Competing
Extended-Stay Project or Projects that were included in such Portfolio
Transaction and that violate such subsection or (ii) terminate this Agreement,
in which case no Termination Fee shall be payable in connection therewith.
Manager shall make such election within thirty (30) days after the consummation
of such Portfolio Transaction, and any termination shall be effective no earlier
than forty-five (45) and no later than ninety (90) days after the date of such
election. Notwithstanding any such election by Manager to terminate this
Agreement, Owner may elect to keep this Agreement in effect by delivering to
Manager written notice of such election no later than thirty (30) days after
receiving notice of Manager's election to terminate, in which case this
Agreement shall not terminate and the provisions of subsection (a) shall be
deemed permanently waived as to the Competing Extended-Stay Project or Projects
that were included in such Portfolio Transaction. Manager shall not be liable
to Owner for damages, and shall not be subject to any equitable remedy, in
respect of any violation of such subsection (a) resulting from the consummation
of a Portfolio Transaction if Manager subsequently complies with such subsection
or terminates this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of this
subsection (b). The termination right provided to Manager under this Section is
in addition and without prejudice to any other right that Manager may have to
terminate this Agreement under any other provision of this Agreement.

all of which shall be the responsibility of Owner.
Section 5.2 Repairs and Replacements.

amount to be contributed to the Reserve is an estimate of amounts required for
the purposes set forth in Section 5.2(a). The parties recognize that the

passage of time or unforeseen events or conditions may render such amount
insufficient to keep the Reserve at the level required to maintain the Project
in good repair and condition in keeping with the Operating Standards and this

supplied by Owner, Manager shall from time to time make such Regular Capital

-------
5.2(a)(ii) above) in accordance with the Annual Plan or as otherwise approved by

Owner and Manager shall be entitled to withdraw funds from the Reserve for such
purpose. Proceeds from the sale of FF&E no longer necessary to the operation of
the Project shall be deposited in the Reserve in addition to the amounts
otherwise required to be deposited into the Reserve under Section 5.2(b). At
--------------
the end of each Operating Year, any amounts remaining in the Reserve shall be

upon termination of this Agreement shall be transferred to Owner.
Section 5.3 Special Capital Improvements.
----------- ----------------------------
(a) Manager shall promptly notify Owner of the need for all Special
Capital Improvements provided for in the Annual Plan then in effect, whereupon
work in respect of such Special Capital Improvements will be promptly commenced
and completed by Owner in accordance with plans, schedules and specifications
therefor approved by Manager. Owner and Manager acknowledge, however, that
Manager's responsibilities and compensation under this Agreement do not include
the supervision or carrying out of the development, or refurbishment or
renovation, of the Project or the provision of any purchasing services in
connection therewith, and that any such services may be provided, if at all,
only pursuant to a separate agreement or agreements providing for the
compensation and other terms and conditions relating to the provision of such
services. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Annual Plan then in
effect, Manager shall make no Special Capital Improvements in or to the Project
without the express written approval of Owner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
Manager shall, at any time, believe that (i) a dangerous condition exists at the
Project, (ii) repairs or Capital Improvements are required to comply with any
applicable Legal Requirement or (iii) expenditures are required to remedy any
condition caused by fire, Act of God, flood, earthquake or other like casualty
or other emergency, Manager shall (except in the case of an emergency) notify
Owner and Manager shall as promptly as possible take all steps and make all
expenditures necessary to remedy or cure any such condition or to comply with
any applicable Legal Requirement. In the case of an emergency, Manager shall
notify Owner as promptly as practicable after the occurrence thereof, but such
notice shall not be required prior to taking such steps or making such
expenditures.

objections, and Owner and Manager shall use their best efforts to agree in
respect of the items to which Owner objects. Should Owner and Manager not reach
agreement on all or any portion of the Annual Plan, pending agreement being
reached, and in the case of the first Operating Year, during the period prior to
submission of the Annual Plan, Manager shall operate the Project in accordance
with the Operating Standards and this Agreement and, if such disagreement

to an Operating Year after the first Operating Year, at rates or levels of
expenditures comparable to those of the preceding Operating Year with suitable
adjustments of rates and expenses for such items or portions thereof as dictated
by inflationary factors, seasonality and the necessity of operating the Project
in accordance with the Operating Standards and this Agreement. The foregoing
procedure shall also apply to approval of proposed revisions to the Annual Plan
pursuant to Section 6.1(d).
--------------

revisions.
(e) The Operating Budget is intended as, and will represent only, an
estimate of the anticipated results for the Operating Year in question, based
upon assumptions believed by Manager to be reasonable at the time of the
preparation of such Operating Budget, and the same shall not be construed as a
guarantee of actual results which may be experienced during and for such
Operating Year.

expense of the Project.

Hotel by the national sales offices that Manager operates pursuant to its
management of Wyndham hotels, or if at any time Manager operates a national

employees and agents from and against any and all liability, loss, damages,
costs and expenses ("Liabilities") incurred by reason of the management and
operation of the Project by Manager during the Term insofar and only insofar as
such Liabilities are caused by the Demonstrable Negligence, willful misconduct
or willful violation of Legal Requirements by Manager. Project employees other
than the Executive Personnel shall not be deemed to be employees or agents of,
or otherwise acting on behalf of, Manager. "Demonstrable Negligence" shall mean
a demonstrable failure, established by clear and convincing evidence, to use
such care as a reasonably prudent person would use under similar circumstances.
(b) Owner shall indemnify and hold harmless Manager and its
shareholders and Affiliates and their respective partners, shareholders,
directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any and all
Liabilities (INCLUDING THOSE CAUSED BY THE SIMPLE NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNITEE
THAT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE DEMONSTRABLE NEGLIGENCE AND THOSE AS TO WHICH THE
INDEMNITEE MAY BE STRICTLY LIABLE) (i) arising out of or incurred in connection
with the construction, renovation, management or operation of the Project or
(ii) which may be asserted or arise as a direct or indirect result of the
presence on or under, or escape, seepage, leakage, spillage, discharge, emission
or release from the Project of any Hazardous Materials or any Hazardous
Materials Contamination or arise out of or result from the environmental
condition of the Project or the applicability of any Legal Requirements relating
to Hazardous Materials, except, in the case of both (i) and (ii) above, those
Liabilities caused by the Demonstrable Negligence, willful misconduct or willful
violation of Legal Requirements by Manager during the Term.
-27-
Management Agreement
(c) In case an action covered by this Section 8.4 is brought against
-----------
any indemnified party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to assume the
defense thereof, subject to the provisions herein stated, with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the
indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to so assume the
defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified
party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified
party in connection with the defense thereof. The indemnified party shall have
the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in
the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall not be at
the expense of the indemnifying party if the indemnifying party has assumed the
defense of the action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified
party; provided that the fees and expenses of the indemnified party's counsel
shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party if (i) the employment of such
counsel has been specifically authorized in writing by the indemnifying party or
(ii) such indemnified party shall have been advised by counsel that there is a
conflict of interest or issue conflict involved in the representation by counsel
employed by the indemnifying party in the defense of such action on behalf of
the indemnified party or that there may be one or more legal defenses available
to such indemnified party which are not available to the indemnifying party (in
which case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense
of such action on behalf of such indemnified party, it being understood,
however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such
action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same
jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be
liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of
attorneys for the indemnified party, which firm shall be designated in writing
by the indemnified party).
(d) The provisions of this Section shall survive any termination or
expiration of this Agreement, whether by lapse of time or otherwise, and shall
be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
ARTICLE IX
DAMAGE AND CONDEMNATION
-----------------------
Section 9.1 Damage or Destruction.
----------- ---------------------
(a) If the Hotel shall be totally destroyed or substantially damaged
by fire or other casualty, either party may, within sixty (60) days after the
occurrence of such event, give written notice to the other terminating this
Agreement. For purposes of this Section, the Hotel shall be deemed to have been
substantially damaged if the estimated cost of Restoration shall exceed twenty
percent (20%) of the cost of replacing the Hotel by constructing, furnishing and
equipping a new hotel on the site
-28-
Management Agreement
substantially the same as the Hotel prior to such casualty. In the event Owner
terminates this Agreement by reason of such damage or destruction, Owner shall,
contemporaneously with the giving of notice of such termination and as a
condition (which may be waived by Manager) to the effectiveness of such
termination, pay to Manager the applicable Termination Fee.
(b) In the event of (i) any damage to the Hotel by fire or other
casualty which does not amount to "substantial damage" as described in
subsection (a) above, or (ii) the total destruction of or substantial damage to
the Project and the failure of either party to terminate this Agreement pursuant
to subsection (a) above, then this Agreement shall not terminate, and Owner
shall, at its own expense and in accordance with plans and specifications
therefor developed by Owner in consultation with Manager, promptly commence and
expeditiously complete the Restoration and, subject to the rights of any
Mortgagee, all proceeds of property and casualty insurance shall be made
available to Owner for this purpose. Owner shall promptly commence and
diligently pursue the Restoration to completion; provided, however, that if
Owner shall not fully complete the Restoration within a reasonable period of
time after the date of such casualty or one hundred eighty (180) days, whichever
is earlier (or such longer period as Manager may approve), then Manager shall
have the right to terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days' prior written
notice to Owner, whereupon Owner shall, within ten (10) days following such
notice and as a condition (which may be waived by Manager) to the effectiveness
of such termination, pay to Manager the applicable Termination Fee.
(c) Manager's monthly compensation following damage to the Project
until the Restoration with respect to such damage is completed shall in no event
be less than fifty percent (50%) of the Average Monthly Management Fee at the
time the damage occurs; provided, however, that such amount shall be payable
only from, and to the extent of, the proceeds of business interruption insurance
maintained in respect of the Project.
(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (a) and (b) of this
Section 9.1, the Termination Fee payable thereunder shall be payable (i) in any
-----------
event to the extent it is covered by insurance, and (ii) to the extent it is not
covered by insurance, such Termination Fee shall be payable by Owner unless, at
or any time prior to the date of the related termination of this Agreement,
Manager has managed for Owner and Owner's franchisees an aggregate of at least
fifteen (15) extended stay hotels similar in operation to (and including) the
Hotel, in which case such portion of the Termination Fee shall not be payable to
Manager. In addition, in the event that, on or before the date that is twelve
(12) months after the related termination of this Agreement, Manager has managed
for Owner and Owner's franchisees an aggregate of at least fifteen (15) extended
stay hotels similar in operation to (and including) the Hotel, then Manager
shall repay to Owner the amount of such Termination Fee paid to Manager
hereunder.
-29-
Management Agreement
Section 9.2 Condemnation.
----------- ------------
(a) If all or a substantial portion of the Project shall be taken by
Condemnation (other than for temporary use), this Agreement shall terminate as
of the date of such taking. A substantial portion of the Project shall be
deemed taken if in the reasonable opinion of Manager or Owner the part not taken
may not be repaired, restored, replaced, rebuilt or utilized so as to constitute
a hotel facility in keeping with this Agreement. If this Agreement shall
terminate pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section, (i) the
Condemnation award, after payment of all sums due and payable to any Mortgagee,
shall be paid to Owner as its property, provided, however, that so long as it
does not reduce the Condemnation award payable to Owner, Manager may make a
separate and distinct claim against the condemning authority for the value of
the loss of its interest in this Agreement, and (ii) Owner shall, within ten
(10) days following such termination and as a condition (which may be waived by
Manager) to the effectiveness thereof, pay to Manager the applicable Termination
Fee. Provided Owner pays the applicable Termination Fee, Manager shall remit to
Owner any amount received by it pursuant to any claim it pursues in accordance
with clause (i) above.
(b) If a portion of the Project shall be taken by Condemnation and
this Agreement is not terminated pursuant to subsection (a) above, the
Condemnation award relating to damage to or the taking of the Project, including
any interest thereon, shall, subject to the rights of any Mortgagee, be made
available to Owner for application to the Restoration of the Project made
necessary by such taking. Such Restoration shall be promptly commenced and
expeditiously completed by, and at the expense of, Owner in accordance with
plans and specifications therefor developed by Owner in consultation with
Manager (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) so as to
restore the Project as nearly as possible to its value, condition and character
immediately prior to the Condemnation.
(c) In the event of a Condemnation of all or part of the Project for
temporary use, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and the
following shall be applicable:
(i) If the Condemnation is for a period not extending beyond the
Term, the Condemnation award, including any interest, shall be
included in Gross Revenues for the Operating Year or Years in which
received. When and if during the Term the period of temporary use
shall terminate, Owner shall, at its own expense, after its approval,
in consultation with Manager, of plans and specifications, promptly
commence and expeditiously complete the Restoration necessary to
restore the Project to its condition prior to the Condemnation for
temporary use; or
-30-
Management Agreement
(ii) If the Condemnation is for a period extending beyond the
Term, that portion of the Condemnation award which is attributable to
the period up to the expiration of the Term shall be included in Gross
Revenues for the Operating Year or Years in which received. The
remainder of the Condemnation award shall be paid to Owner as its
property.
(d) Manager's monthly compensation following a Condemnation until the
Restoration with respect to such Condemnation is completed or during any period
of Condemnation for temporary use shall in no event be less than fifty percent
(50%) of the Average Monthly Management Fee at the time the Condemnation occurs;
provided, however, that such amount shall be payable only from, and to the
extent of, the proceeds or business interruption insurance maintained in respect
of the Project.
(e) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section
-------
9.2, the Termination Fee payable thereunder shall be payable (i) in any event to
---
the extent it is covered by insurance, and (ii) to the extent it is not covered
by insurance, such Termination Fee shall be payable by Owner unless, at or any
time prior to the date of the related termination of this Agreement, Manager has
managed for Owner and Owner's franchisees an aggregate of at least fifteen (15)
extended stay hotels similar in operation to (and including) the Hotel, in which
case such portion of the Termination Fee shall not be payable to Manager. In
addition, in the event that, on or before the date that is twelve (12) months
after the related termination of this Agreement, Manager has managed for Owner
and Owner's franchisees an aggregate of at least fifteen (15) extended stay
hotels similar in operation to (and including) the Hotel, then Manager shall
repay to Owner the amount of such Termination Fee paid to Manager hereunder.

ASSIGNMENT
----------
Section 10.1 Assignment by Manager. Manager shall have the right,
------------ ---------------------
without the consent of Owner, to assign its interest in this Agreement to (i)
any Affiliate of Manager having full right, power and authority to provide to
Owner all services and organizational expertise (including applicable
trademarks, service marks and Marketing Services) which Manager is required to
provide hereunder, or (ii) any assignee who also acquires all, or substantially
all, of the assets of Manager and assumes its obligations, provided such
assignee is financially responsible and capable of performing the duties of
Manager hereunder. In such latter event, Manager's liability hereunder shall
terminate upon such assignment, but in the event of such an assignment to an
Affiliate of Manager, Manager shall continue to be liable under this Agreement
to the same extent as though such
-31-
Management Agreement
assignment had not been made. Manager shall also have the right to assign its
rights to receive payments hereunder as security for indebtedness or any other
obligation. Except as herein provided, Manager shall not assign its rights and
obligations under this Agreement without the approval of Owner.
Section 10.2 Assignment by Owner.
------------ -------------------
(a) Owner may transfer or convey the Project to an Affiliate of Owner
pursuant to the transfer of all of the assets and liabilities of Owner to such
Affiliate. Owner shall give Manager not less than thirty (30) days' written
notice prior to the consummation of any such transfer and provide to Manager
such information regarding the proposed transferee as Manager may reasonably
request.
(b) Owner also may transfer or convey the Project in connection with a
bona fide sale to an independent third party, whereupon Owner shall have the
right to terminate this Agreement as set forth in Section 12.5(a) and Manager
---------------
shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as set forth in Section
-------
12.4(b). Owner shall give Manager not less than thirty (30) days' written
-------
notice prior to the consummation of any such sale of the Project and provide to
Manager such information regarding the proposed transferee as Manager may
reasonably request; provided, however, that if Owner intends to exercise its
right to terminate this Agreement as set forth in Section 12.5(a) in connection
---------------
with such sale, Owner shall give Manager notice of such sale and of such
termination not less than ten (10) (rather than thirty (30)) days prior to the
consummation thereof and, in such event, Owner shall not be required to provide
Manager with any information regarding the proposed transferee. Notwithstanding
the requirements for notice of sale set forth in this Section 10.2(b) and
---------------
Section 12.5(a), Owner's failure to give any such notice in connection with a
---------------
sale pursuant to which this Agreement is to terminate shall not preclude Owner's
consummation of such sale and termination of this Agreement in connection
therewith, and shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement, so long as Owner
pays to Manager the applicable Termination Fee as a condition precedent to the
consummation of such sale and such termination.
(c) In the event of a bona fide sale to an independent third party
pursuant to subsection (b) above where neither Owner nor Manager exercises its
termination right referenced therein, or in the event of a transfer to an
Affiliate pursuant to subsection (a) above, Owner shall cause the transferee or
assignee by reason of any such sale, transfer or conveyance to assume and agree
to perform all of Owner's duties, obligations and liabilities herein contained
pursuant to a written instrument in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to Manager and reflecting any amendments to this Agreement reasonably necessary
in order to preserve and protect Manager's rights hereunder in light of the
change in ownership.
-32-
Management Agreement
(d) Subject to the following provisions of this Section 10.2(d), the
---------------
sale or other disposition of fifty percent (50%) or more of the beneficial
interests in Owner (whether partnership interests, shares of stock or other
beneficial interests), whether in a single transaction or in a series of
transactions, shall be deemed to constitute the transfer or conveyance of the
Project for purposes of this Section. The "deemed transfer" provisions of the
preceding sentence shall not apply in respect of, or following, a registered
public offering under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of equity
interests in Owner or any successor to Owner, which public offering is made
pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 or a successor form (i.e., such
a public offering will not permit either Owner or Manager to terminate this
Agreement pursuant to Section 12.5(a) or Section 12.4(b)); provided, however,
--------------- ---------------
that, in the event that following such a public offering fifty percent (50%) or
more of the beneficial interests in Owner are acquired by a person who is
directly or indirectly engaged in the hotel management business under a brand
owned by it or one of its Affiliates or is directly or indirectly engaged in the
hotel franchising business as a franchisor, then Owner shall have the right to
terminate this agreement as set forth in Section 12.5(d), and Manager shall have
---------------
the right to terminate this Agreement as set forth in Section 12.4(c). In
---------------
addition, prior to the closing of such a public offering, any person who is a
partner in Owner on the Effective Date may transfer all or part of his interest
in Owner to a Permitted Transferee, and such transfer shall not constitute a
transfer or conveyance of the Project for purposes of this Section (even if the
interest transferred represents fifty percent (50%) or more of the beneficial
interests in Owner). As used in the preceding sentence, "Permitted Transferee"
shall mean (i) an Affiliate of the transferor partner or (ii) any other person
who also is a partner in Owner on the Effective Date and at the time of such
transfer or an Affiliate thereof.
(e) Except as otherwise expressly provided for herein, Owner may not
sell, transfer or otherwise convey all or any part of the Project or Owner's
interest therein or assign this Agreement or any interest herein without the
express prior written consent of Manager.
Section 10.3 Notice of Intention to Sell. Prior to offering the
------------ ---------------------------
Project for sale or accepting an unsolicited offer to purchase the Project,
Owner shall give Manager reasonable notice of its intention to sell the Project.
Section 10.4 Binding Effect. Subject to the terms of this Article,
------------ --------------
this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

reasonable efforts to secure for Manager's benefit a non-disturbance agreement
(in form and substance satisfactory to Manager) to the effect that this
Agreement shall not be subject to forfeiture or termination except in accordance
with the provisions hereof, notwithstanding a default, termination, foreclosure
or exercise of a power of sale with respect to any such lease or encumbrance.
Owner further warrants that, so long as Manager shall not be in default
hereunder, Manager shall be entitled to operate the Project for the Term, and
Owner shall, at no expense to Manager, undertake and prosecute all appropriate

extent that any failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to materially
and adversely affect the operation of the Project by Manager or result in any
failure to pay amounts due, or otherwise provide funds, to Manager hereunder:

otherwise related to the ownership or operation of the Project or any ground

(vi) Any representation or warranty made in this Agreement by either
party shall be false or misleading in any material respect on
the date as of which it is made or deemed made;

that in the event such failure is of the nature that it cannot,
with due diligence, be cured within thirty (30) days, it shall
not constitute an event of default unless the defaulting party
fails to proceed promptly and with due diligence to cure the
same, it being the intention of the parties that with respect
to a failure not susceptible of being cured within thirty (30)
days, the time of such defaulting party within which to cure
the same shall be extended for such period as may be necessary
for the curing thereof with the exercise of due diligence.

earned Management Fees and all other sums payable to Manager under this

Termination Fee upon termination of this Agreement under certain circumstances
be construed as defining or limiting the amount recoverable by Manager from
Owner by reason of any event of default on the part of Owner.
Section 12.2 Manager's Right to Perform Owner's Obligations. If
------------ ----------------------------------------------
Owner shall fail to make any payment or to perform any act to be made or
performed by Owner pursuant to this Agreement and such failure continues for a
period of ten (10) days after Owner is notified thereof, then Manager
-36-
Management Agreement
may (but shall not be obligated to) without further notice to, or demand upon,
Owner, and without waiving or releasing Owner from any obligations under this
Agreement, make such payment (either with its own funds or with funds withdrawn
for such purpose from the Operating Accounts or the Reserve) or perform such
act. All sums so paid by Manager from its funds and all necessary incidental
costs and expenses incurred by Manager in connection with the performance of any
such act, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of
making such expenditure or expenditures by Manager, shall be payable to Manager
upon demand.
Section 12.3 Default Interest. If either party hereto shall fail to
------------ ----------------
pay to the other party hereto any sum payable when due hereunder, then such
defaulting party shall, without notice or demand, be liable to the non-
defaulting party for the payment of all such sums together with interest thereon
at the Default Rate. The terms and provisions of this Section shall survive any
termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever (including the
expiration of the Term) and shall continue until all such amounts, together with
interest thereon, are paid in full.
Section 12.4 Special Rights of Manager to Terminate. In addition and
------------ --------------------------------------
without prejudice to any other right Manager may have to terminate this
Agreement under any other provision of this Agreement:
(a) Manager shall have the right to terminate this Agreement if any
Governmental Permit required to be maintained by Owner for the operation of the
Project, including without limitation any certificate of occupancy or restaurant
or liquor license, shall at any time be suspended, terminated or revoked and
such suspension, termination or revocation is not due to the fault of Manager
and shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days, unless such suspension,
termination or revocation is subject to cure within such period by reasonable
efforts on the part of Manager and Manager fails to take such action. In the
event that Manager elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section
-------
12.4(a), Manager shall give Owner written notice of such election whereupon this
-------
Agreement shall terminate as of the date set forth in any such notice of
termination, which date shall be not less than thirty (30) days after the date
such notice is given. Not later than the effective date of termination of this
Agreement by Manager pursuant to clause (1) of this Section 12.4(a), and as a
---------------
condition (which may be waived by Manager) to the effectiveness of any such
termination, Owner shall pay to Manager the applicable Termination Fee.
(b) If Owner proposes to effect a bona fide sale of the Project and
does not elect to terminate this Agreement as provided in Section 12.5(b) below,
---------------
Manager shall have the right to terminate this Agreement effective upon
consummation of such sale, transfer or conveyance, upon written notice to Owner
not more than fifteen (15) days after Owner's notice to Manager pursuant to
Section 10.2, provided, however, that Manager shall have such right to terminate
------------
this Agreement
-37-
Management Agreement
only if Manager reasonably determines that such sale, transfer or conveyance
involves an unsuitable transferee or assignee. Manager shall make its
determination based solely on an evaluation of whether (i) the proposed
transferee or assignee has adequate net worth to timely discharge all of the
obligations of Owner under this Agreement, (ii) the transferee or assignee or
one or more of its Affiliates are known to have engaged in criminal activities
or are shown by credible evidence to be of bad character or (iii) the proposed
transferee or assignee or one or more of its Affiliates is directly or
indirectly engaged in the hotel management business under a brand owned by it or
one of its Affiliates or is directly or indirectly engaged in the hotel
franchising business as a franchisor. Any such notice of termination shall be
deemed ineffective if such sale, transfer or conveyance thereafter is not
consummated. Not later than the effective date of termination of this Agreement
by Manager pursuant to this Section 12.4(b), and as a condition (which may be
---------------
waived by Manager) to the effectiveness of any such termination, Owner shall pay
to Manager the applicable Termination Fee. If, within one year after the date of
any such termination by Manager and payment of the applicable Termination Fee by
Owner, Manager and Owner's transferee or assignee enter into a management
agreement pursuant to which Manager is to manage the Project, then Manager
shall, upon the execution of such agreement, repay to Owner the amount of such
Termination Fee paid to Manager.
(c) If, following a registered public offering of the type described
in Section 10.2(d) of equity interests in Owner or any successor to Owner, any
---------------
person, other than Manager or an Affiliate of Manager, who is directly or
indirectly engaged in the hotel management business under a brand owned by it or
one of its Affiliates or is directly or indirectly engaged in the hotel
franchising business as a franchisor acquires fifty percent (50%) or more of the
beneficial interests in Owner (whether in a single transaction or series of
transactions), then Manager shall have the right to terminate this Agreement
upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Owner given not later
than the date that is ninety (90) days after such person first acquires such
interest. Not later than the effective date of termination of this Agreement by
Manager pursuant to this Section 12.4(c), and as a condition (which may be
---------------
waived by Manager) to the effectiveness of any such termination, Owner shall pay
to Manager the applicable Termination Fee. If, within one year after the date
of any such termination by Manager and payment of the applicable Termination Fee
by Owner, Manager and Owner or any transferee or assignee from Owner enter into
a management agreement pursuant to which Manager is to manage the Project, then
Manager shall, upon the execution of such agreement, repay to Owner the amount
of such Termination Fee paid to Manager.
Section 12.5 Special Rights of Owner to Terminate. In addition and
------------ ------------------------------------
without prejudice to any other right Owner may have to terminate this Agreement
under any other provision of this Agreement, Owner shall have the following
rights to terminate this Agreement:
-38-
Management Agreement
(a) If Owner proposes to effect a bona fide sale of the Project as
permitted by Section 10.2(b), Owner shall have the right to terminate this
---------------
Agreement, effective upon consummation of such sale, upon written notice to
Manager not less than ten (10) days prior to such consummation. Any such notice
shall be deemed ineffective if such sale thereafter is not consummated. Not
later than the effective date of termination of this Agreement by Owner pursuant
to this Section 12.5(a), and as a condition (which may be waived by Manager) to
---------------
the effectiveness of any such termination, Owner shall pay to Manager the
applicable Termination Fee.
(b) Owner shall have the right, subject to Manager's rights to cure
described below, to terminate this Agreement if, for a reason other than Force
Majeure or Owner's breach of this Agreement, in any two (2) consecutive
Operating Years, commencing with the third Operating Year, both (i) Total Income
Before Fixed Charges for such Operating Years is less than seventy-five percent
(75%) of the Total Income Before Fixed Charges projected for such Operating
Years in the approved Annual Plans for such Operating Years and (ii) the Fair
Market Share Penetration of the Project is less than ninety percent (90%)
(collectively, the "Annual Performance Standard"). Such determinations shall be
made in accordance with the audited annual financial statements prepared and
delivered pursuant to Section 6.3(c) of this Agreement. If the Annual
--------------
Performance Standard is not satisfied for any two consecutive (2) Operating
Years, commencing with the third Operating Year, Manager may, within sixty (60)
days after the delivery to Owner of the audited annual financial statements for
the second consecutive such Operating Year for which the Annual Performance
Standard was not satisfied, pay to Owner an amount which, when added to the
Total Income Before Fixed Charges for such Operating Years, equals the amount
necessary to satisfy clause (i) of the Annual Performance Standard for such
Operating Years and upon such payment the Annual Performance Standard for such
Operating Years shall be deemed to have been satisfied. If the Annual
Performance Standard is not satisfied and not cured as provided above for two
(2) consecutive Operating Years, commencing with the third Operating Year, and
Owner elects to exercise its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this
Section, Owner shall give written notice to Manager of such election within
sixty (60) days after delivery to Owner of such audited annual financial
statements, which notice shall specify a date for the termination of this
Agreement that is not less than ninety (90) days after the date such notice is
given. Failure to give such notice shall constitute a waiver of such right. In
addition to the right to cure set forth above, Manager may, within thirty (30)
days following the date upon which Owner's notice of termination has been given,
pay to Owner an amount which, when added to the aggregate amount of Total Income
Before Fixed Charges for the two (2) Operating Years in question, equals the
amount necessary to satisfy clause (i) of the Annual Performance Standard for
each such Operating Year. Upon such payment, the Annual Performance Standard
shall be deemed to have been satisfied for each such Operating Year, Owner shall
have no right to terminate this Agreement based upon such Operating Years and
Owner's election to do so shall be of no further force or effect.
-39-
Management Agreement
(c) If Owner elects to assume the management of the Project, rather
than utilize any third party manager for such purpose, Owner shall have the
right to terminate this Agreement, effective upon its assumption of such
management, upon written notice to Manager not less than thirty (30) days prior
to such assumption. Not later than the effective date of any termination of
this Agreement by Owner pursuant to this Section 12.5(c), and as a condition
(which may be waived by Manager) to the effectiveness of any such termination,
Owner shall pay to Manager the applicable Termination Fee. If, within one year
following the date of any such termination of this Agreement, Owner shall elect
to cease managing the Project itself and engage a third party for such purpose,
Owner shall, before engaging any third party manager, offer (which offer shall
be in writing) to Manager the right to manage the Project on the same terms as
set forth in this Agreement. Manager may accept such offer by giving written
notice thereof to Owner within thirty (30) days after Manager's receipt of such
offer. If Manager fails to give such notice within such period of time, Manager
shall be deemed to have rejected such offer. If Manager accepts such offer and
re-assumes responsibility for the management of the Project, then, provided that
the term of the new management arrangement is no less than ten (10) years from
and after the date that Manager re-assumes such management, Manager shall repay
to Owner the amount of the Termination Fee that Owner paid to it in connection
with the termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 12.5(c). Such
---------------
amount shall be payable on the date that Manager re-assumes such management.
Manager acknowledges and agrees that the right of first refusal provided under
this subsection shall not be available following any bona fide sale or deemed
sale of the Project by Owner to an independent third party (including a
transaction described in Section 12.5(d)). The provisions of this Section
--------------- -------
12.5(c) shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
-------
(d) If, following a registered public offering of the type described
in Section 10.2(d) of equity interests in Owner or any successor to Owner, any
---------------
person, other than Manager or an Affiliate of Manager, who is directly or
indirectly engaged in the hotel management business under a brand owned by it or
one of its Affiliates or is directly or indirectly engaged in the hotel
franchising business as a franchisor acquires fifty percent (50%) or more of the
beneficial interests in Owner (whether in a single transaction or series of
transactions), then Owner shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon
at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Manager given not later than
the date that is ninety (90) days after such person first acquires such
interest. Not later than the effective date of termination of this Agreement by
Owner pursuant to this Section 12.5(d), and as a condition (which may be waived
---------------
by Manager) to the effectiveness of any such termination, Owner shall pay to
Manager the applicable Termination Fee.
Section 12.6 Termination of Employees. In connection with any
------------ ------------------------
termination of this Agreement, Manager shall, unless otherwise requested in
writing by Owner, give notice of termination of employment to all Project
employees containing such information as is required by

Management Agreement
any severance policy applicable to such employees and the provisions of any
applicable federal or state plant closing or similar laws. The notice to
employees shall be given within ten (10) days after notice of termination of
this Agreement is given by Owner or Manager, as the case may be. To the extent
Manager satisfies its obligation under the foregoing provisions of this Section
-------
12.6, Owner shall bear the severance and related costs of terminating such
----
employees and any failure to comply with the notification requirements of any
applicable federal or state plant closing or similar laws in connection with any
termination of this Agreement.
Section 12.7 Termination Assistance. Upon the termination or
------------ ----------------------
expiration of this Agreement, Manager shall (a) assist Owner and the successor
management company in a smooth and orderly transition in the management and
operation of the Hotel in a manner consistent with past practices for daily
operations, (b) provide the successor management company with Hotel information,
including, without limitation, employee records, sales records, and definite and
tentative bookings whether maintained at the Hotel or elsewhere, (c) continue to
operate the Hotel in a manner consistent with prior operations through the
termination date, including, without limitation, marketing of the Hotel,
soliciting advanced bookings, and rendering marketing services to the extent
then provided under this Agreement through the termination date, (d) surrender,
assign and transfer to Owner, without recourse, to the extent assignable and
transferable, all of Manager's rights, titles and interest, if any, in or to all
Governmental Permits relating specifically to the Hotel (or, if not assignable,
terminate the same at Owner's request) and in all bank accounts, bank agreements
and other similar instruments used in the daily operation of the Hotel, (e)
transfer the Operating Accounts, and (f) specifically identify all property
Manager intends to remove from the Hotel.
