record or that are visible or apparent on the Leased Property, all applicable

be), that Tenant elects not so to extend the term of this Agreement (and time
shall be of the essence with respect to the giving of such Notice). It is
expressly understood and agreed that such Notice from Tenant shall be void and
of no effect and the Term shall be automatically extended unless Tenant shall
simultaneously elect not to extend the term of the Other Leases.
Each Extended Term shall commence on the day succeeding the expiration of
the Fixed Term or the preceding Extended Term, as the case may be. All of the
terms, covenants and provisions of this Agreement shall apply to each such

RENT
----
3.1 Rent. Tenant shall pay, in lawful money of the United States of
----
America which shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts,
without offset, abatement, demand or deduction (unless otherwise expressly
provided in this Agreement), Minimum Rent and Additional 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.
3.1.1 Minimum Rent.
------------
(a) Minimum Rent shall be paid in advance on the first Business Day of
each Accounting Period; provided, however, that the first payment of
-------- -------
Minimum Rent shall be payable on the Commencement Date (and, if applicable,
such payment shall be prorated as provided in the last sentence of the
first paragraph of Section 3.1).
-----------
(b) Adjustments of Minimum Rent Following Disbursements Under Section
-----------------------------------------------------------------
5.1.2(b), 10.2.4 or 11.2. Effective on the date of each disbursement to
------------------------
pay for the cost of any repairs, maintenance, renovations or replacements
pursuant to Section 5.1.2(b), 10.2.4 or 11.2, the Minimum Rent shall be
--------------------------------
increased by a per annum amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the amount so
--- -----
disbursed. If any such disbursement is made during any Accounting Period
on a day other than the first day of an Accounting Period, Tenant shall pay
to Landlord on the first day of the immediately following Accounting Period
(in addition to the amount of Minimum Rent payable with respect to such
Accounting Period, as adjusted pursuant to this paragraph (b)) the amount
by which Minimum Rent for the preceding Accounting Period, as adjusted for
such disbursement on a per diem basis, exceeded the amount of Minimum Rent
paid by Tenant for such preceding Accounting Period.
3.1.2 Additional Rent.
---------------
(a) Amount. For each Lease Year or portion thereof, Tenant shall pay
------
an aggregate amount of additional rent ("Additional Rent") with respect to
---------------
such Lease Year, pursuant to this Agreement and the Other Leases, in an
amount, not less than zero, equal to five percent (5%) of Excess Gross
Revenues.
- 17 -
(b) Quarterly Installments. Installments of Additional Rent for each
----------------------
Lease Year or portion thereof shall be calculated and paid quarterly in
arrears, together with an Officer's Certificate setting forth the
calculation of Additional Rent due and payable for such quarter. Copies of
each Accounting Period Statement (as defined in the Management Agreement)
delivered pursuant to Section 5.03 of the Management Agreement shall be
delivered to Landlord upon receipt by Tenant and each quarterly payment of
Additional Rent shall be due and payable and shall be delivered to Landlord
with the payment of the Minimum Rent next due after receipt of such
Accounting Period Statement, together with an Officer's Certificate setting
forth the calculation of Additional Rent due and payable for such quarter.
(c) Reconciliation of Additional Rent. In addition, on or before
---------------------------------
April 30, of each year, commencing April 30, 1996, Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Gross Revenues for the
Collective Leased Properties for such preceding Lease Year, together with
an audit of Tenant's revenues for the preceding Lease Year, conducted by
Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx and Co., or another "Big Six", so-called, firm of
independent certified public accountants proposed by Tenant and approved by
Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
If the annual Additional 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 close of such
preceding Lease Year 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 Additional 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 Additional
Rent next coming due in the amount of such difference, together with
interest at the Interest Rate, which interest shall accrue from the date of
payment of Tenant until the date such credit is applied or paid, as the
case may be. 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 the unapplied balance of
such credit to Tenant, together with interest at the Interest Rate, which
interest shall accrue from the date of payment by Tenant until the date of
payment by Landlord.
(d) Confirmation of Additional Rent. Tenant shall utilize, or cause
-------------------------------
to be utilized, an accounting system for the Collective Leased Properties
in accordance with its usual and customary practices and in accordance with
- 18 -
GAAP, which will accurately record all Gross Revenues and Tenant shall
retain, for at least three (3) years after the expiration of each Lease
Year, 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, exercisable
by Notice to Tenant within one (1) year 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 Additional Rent, and either
Tenant agrees with the result of such audit or the matter is otherwise
compromised with Landlord, Tenant shall forthwith pay to Landlord the
amount of the deficiency, as finally agreed or determined, together with
interest at the Interest Rate, from the date such payment should have been
made to the date of payment thereof. If such deficiency, as agreed upon or
compromised as aforesaid, is more than three percent (3%) of the Gross
Revenues reported by Tenant for such Lease Year and, as a result, Landlord
did not receive at least ninety-five percent (95%) of the Additional 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 Additional Rent for any Lease Year than was due hereunder,
and either Landlord agrees with the result of such audit or the matter is
otherwise determined, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Landlord shall grant Tenant a credit equal to the amount of
such overpayment against Additional Rent next coming due in the amount of
such difference, as finally agreed or determined, together with interest at
the Interest Rate, which interest shall accrue from the time of payment by
Tenant until the date such credit is applied or paid, as the case may be.
If such a credit cannot be made because the Term has expired before the
credit can be applied in full, provided no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, Landlord shall pay the unapplied balance of such credit
to Tenant, together with interest at the Interest Rate, which interest
shall accrue from the date of payment by Tenant until the date of payment
from Landlord.
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.
- 19 -
3.1.3 Additional Charges. In addition to the Minimum Rent and
------------------
Additional 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 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
Landlord's net income, gross receipts, sales and use, single business,
transaction privilege, rent, ad valorem, franchise taxes and taxes on its
capital stock, and Tenant, at its 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.
- 20 -
Landlord shall give prompt Notice to Tenant and the Manager 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 to
Article 9.
---------
(d) Other Charges. Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all other
-------------
amounts, liabilities and obligations, including, without limitation, and
all amounts payable under or with respect to the Management Agreement
(except as expressly provided in Section 5.1.2(b)) and any equipment leases
----------------
and all agreements to indemnify Landlord under Sections 4.3.2 and 9.7.
----------------------
(e) Reimbursement for Additional Charges. If Tenant pays or causes to
------------------------------------
be paid property taxes or similar or other Additional Charges attributable
to 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 a reasonable time 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 taxes and other
similar Additional Charges that are attributable to any period after the
Term of this Agreement (unless this Agreement shall have been terminated
following an Event of Default).
3.2 Late Payment of Rent, Etc. If any installment of Minimum Rent,
-------------------------
Additional Rent or Additional Charges (but only as to those Additional Charges
which are payable directly to Landlord) shall not be paid within ten (10) days
after its due date, Tenant shall pay Landlord, on demand, as Additional Charges,
a late charge (to the extent permitted by law) computed at the Overdue Rate on
the amount of such installment, from the due date of such installment to the
date of payment thereof. To the extent that Tenant pays any Additional Charges
directly to Landlord or any Hotel Mortgagee pursuant to any requirement of this
Agreement, Tenant shall be relieved of its obligation to pay such Additional
Charges to the Entity to which they would otherwise be due. If any payments due
from Landlord to Tenant shall not be paid within ten (10) days after its due
date,
- 21 -
Landlord shall pay to Tenant, on demand, a late charge (to the extent permitted
by law) computed at the Overdue Rate on the amount of such installment from the
due date of such installment to the date of payment thereof.
In the event of any failure by Tenant to pay any Additional Charges when
due, except as expressly provided in Section 3.1.3(a), Tenant shall promptly pay
----------------
and discharge, as Additional Charges, every fine, penalty, interest and cost
which may be added for non-payment or late payment of such items. Landlord
shall have all legal, equitable and contractual rights, powers and remedies
provided either in this Agreement or by statute or otherwise in the case of non-
payment of the Additional Charges as in the case of non-payment of the Minimum
Rent and Additional Rent.
3.3 Net Lease. The Rent shall be absolutely net to Landlord so that this
---------
Agreement shall yield to Landlord the full amount of the installments or amounts
of the Rent throughout the Term, subject to any other provisions of this
Agreement which expressly provide otherwise, including those provisions for
adjustment or abatement of such Rent.
3.4 No Termination Abatement, Etc. Except as otherwise specifically
------------------------------
provided in this Agreement, each of Landlord and Tenant, to the maximum extent
permitted by law, shall remain bound by this Agreement in accordance with its
terms and shall not take any action without the consent of the other to modify,
surrender or terminate this Agreement. In addition, except as otherwise
expressly provided in this Agreement, Tenant shall not seek, or be entitled to,
any abatement, deduction, deferment or reduction of the Rent, or set-off against
the Rent, nor shall the respective obligations of Landlord and Tenant be
otherwise affected by reason of (a) any damage to or destruction of the Leased
Property or any portion thereof from whatever cause or any Condemnation, (b) the
lawful or unlawful prohibition of, or restriction upon, Tenant's use of the
Leased Property, or any portion thereof, or the interference with such use by
any Person or by reason of eviction by paramount title; (c) any claim which
Tenant may have against Landlord by reason of any default (other than a monetary
default) or breach of any warranty by Landlord under this Agreement or any other
agreement between Landlord and Tenant, or to which Landlord and Tenant are
parties; (d) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition,
readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, winding up or other proceedings
affecting Landlord or any assignee or transferee of Landlord; or (e) for any
other cause whether similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing (other than a
monetary default by Landlord); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not
-------- -------
apply or be construed to restrict Tenant's rights in the event of any act or
omission by Landlord constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, Tenant hereby
waives all rights arising from any occurrence whatsoever, which may now or
hereafter be conferred upon it by law, to (a) modify, surrender or terminate
this Agreement or quit or surrender the Leased Property or any portion thereof,
or (b) entitle Tenant to any abatement, reduction, suspension or deferment of
the Rent or other sums payable or
- 22 -
other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. The obligations of each
party hereunder shall be separate and independent covenants and agreements, and
the Rent and all other sums payable by Tenant hereunder shall continue to be
payable in all events unless the obligations to pay the same shall be terminated
pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement. In any instance where,
after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord retains funds which, but
for the occurrence of such Event of Default, would be payable to Tenant,
Landlord shall refund such funds to Tenant to the extent the amount thereof
exceeds the amount necessary to compensate Landlord for any cost, loss or damage
incurred in connection with such Event of Default.
3.5 Security for Tenant's Performance. Tenant acknowledges that the
---------------------------------
Initial Retained Funds and the Option Retained Funds (as defined in the Purchase
Agreement) constitute security for the faithful observance and performance by
Tenant of all the terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement by Tenant to
be observed and performed. If any Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, Landlord may, at its option and without prejudice to any other
remedy which Landlord may have on account thereof, appropriate and apply the
entire amount of such Retained Funds or so much thereof as may be necessary to
compensate Landlord toward the payment of the Rent or other sums or loss or
damage sustained by Landlord due to such breach by Tenant. It is understood and
agreed that the amount of such Retained Funds is not to be considered as prepaid
rent, nor shall damages be limited to the amount of the amount of such Retained
Funds. Provided this Agreement shall not be terminated as a result of an Event
of Default, such Retained Funds shall be paid as provided in the Purchase
Agreement.

Property or any part thereof for its Permitted Use.
(b) In the event that, in the reasonable determination of Tenant, it
shall no longer be economically practical to operate the Leased Property as
a Marriott Courtyard hotel, Tenant shall give Landlord Notice thereof,
which Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the reasons therefor.

on the Leased Property, or in the Hotel, nor shall Tenant cause or permit any
unlawful nuisance thereon or therein. Tenant shall not, and shall direct the
Manager not to, suffer nor permit the Leased Property, or any portion thereof,
to be used in such a manner as (i) might reasonably impair Landlord's title

------------------------
that Tenant shall be in possession of the Leased Property, Tenant shall not (and

governmental communications received by Tenant or the Manager or their
respective agents or representatives with respect thereto (collectively,
"Environmental Notice"), which Environmental Notice requires a written response

direct the Manager to take) all actions and incur any and all expenses, as may
be reasonably necessary and as may be required by any Government Agency, (i) to
clean up and remove from and about the Leased Property all Hazardous Substances
thereon, (ii) to contain and prevent any further release or threat of release of

----------
claims, causes of action, administrative orders or notices, costs, fines,
penalties or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees

Applicable Law or otherwise, provided that any of the foregoing arises by reason
of any failure by Tenant, the Manager or any Person claiming by, through or
under Tenant or the Manager to perform or comply with any of the terms of this
Section 4.3, except to the extent the same arise from the gross negligence or
-----------
willful misconduct of Landlord or any other Indemnitee. Tenant's duty herein
includes, but is not limited to, costs associated with personal injury or
property damage claims as a result of the presence prior to the expiration or
sooner termination of the Term and the surrender of the Leased Property to
Landlord in accordance with the terms of this Agreement of Hazardous Substances

- 27 -
5.1.2 Landlord's Obligations.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Landlord
shall not, under any circumstances, be required to build or rebuild any
improvement on the Leased Property, or to make any repairs, replacements,
alterations, restorations or renewals of any nature or description to the
Leased Property, whether ordinary or extraordinary, structural or
nonstructural, foreseen or unforeseen, or, except as provided in Section
-------
5.1.2(b), to make any expenditure whatsoever with respect thereto, or to
--------
maintain the Leased Property in any way. Except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Agreement, Tenant hereby waives, to the maximum extent

(b) If, at any time, the Management Agreement requires that funds be
disbursed for repairs, maintenance, renovations or replacements at or to
the Leased Property (including, but not limited to, pursuant to Section
8.01 and 8.03 of the Management Agreement), or, pursuant to the terms of

-----------
required to make any expenditures in connection with any repair,
maintenance renovation with respect to the Leased Property and the amount

FF&E Reserve, Tenant may, at its election, give Landlord Notice thereof,
which Notice shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the nature of the
required repair, renovation or replacement, the estimated cost thereof and
such other information with respect thereto as Landlord may reasonably
require. Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing and Tenant shall otherwise comply with the applicable provisions
of Article 6, Landlord shall, within ten (10) Business Days after such
---------
Notice, subject to and in accordance with the applicable provisions of

therein are expressly prohibited and that they must look solely to Tenant to
secure payment for
- 28 -
any work done or material furnished by Tenant, the Manager or for any other
purpose during the term of this Agreement.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed in any way
as constituting the consent or request of Landlord, express or implied, by
inference or otherwise, to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer or materialmen
for the performance of any labor or the furnishing of any materials for any
alteration, addition, improvement or repair to the Leased Property or any part
thereof or as giving Tenant any right, power or authority to contract for or
permit the rendering of any services or the furnishing of any materials that
would give rise to the filing of any lien against the Leased Property or any
part thereof nor to subject Landlord's estate in the Leased Property or any part
thereof to liability under any Mechanic's Lien Law of the State in any way, it
being expressly understood Landlord's estate shall not be subject to any such
liability.
5.2 Tenant's Personal Property. Tenant shall provide and maintain
--------------------------
throughout the Term all such Tenant's Personal Property as shall be necessary in
order to operate in compliance with applicable Legal Requirements and Insurance
Requirements and otherwise in accordance with customary practice in the industry
for the Permitted Use and all of such Personal Property shall, upon the
expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, shall become the property
of Landlord. If, from and after the Commencement Date, Tenant acquires an
interest in any item of tangible personal property (other than motor vehicles)
on, or in connection with, the Leased Property which belongs to anyone other
than Tenant, Tenant shall require the agreements permitting such use to provide
that Landlord or its designee may assume Tenant's rights and obligations under
such agreement upon the termination of this Agreement and the assumption of
management or operation of the Hotel by Landlord or its designee.
5.3 Yield Up. Upon the expiration or sooner termination of this
--------
Agreement, Tenant shall vacate and surrender the Leased Property to Landlord in

tear excepted (and casualty damage and Condemnation, in the event that this
Agreement is terminated following a casualty or total Condemnation in accordance
with Article 10 or Article 11).

transfer to and cooperate with Landlord or Landlord's nominee in connection with
the processing of all applications for licenses, operating permits and other
governmental authorizations and all contracts, including contracts with
governmental or quasi-governmental Entities which may be necessary for the use
and operation of the Hotel as then operated. Consistent with the terms of the
- 29 -
Management Agreement, if requested by Landlord, Tenant will direct the Manager
to continue to manage the Hotel after the expiration of the Term and for up to
one hundred twenty (120) days, on such reasonable terms (which shall include an
agreement to reimburse the Manager for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and
expenses, and reasonable administrative costs), as Landlord shall reasonably
request.
5.4 Management Agreement. Except as expressly provided in Section
-------------------- -------
5.1.2(b), Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, perform all of the

limitation, the funding of the FF&E Reserve and, upon the expiration or sooner
termination of this Agreement, the then existing balance of the FF&E Reserve
shall be paid to or as directed by Landlord. Tenant shall, at all times, direct
the Manager to perform all of the Manager's obligations under the Management
Agreement. Tenant shall not amend or modify the Management Agreement without
Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned. Tenant shall not take any action, grant any
consent or, except as provided in the Management Agreement, permit any action
under the Management Agreement, which might have a material adverse effect on
Landlord, without the prior written consent of Landlord. Except as provided in
the Management Agreement, Tenant shall not agree to any change in the Manager,
to any change in the Management Agreement, terminate the Management Agreement or
permit the Manager to assign the Management Agreement without the prior written
approval of Landlord in each instance, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned. If Landlord shall perform any obligations of
"Owner" under the Management Agreement (which Landlord may do subject to Section
-------
12.5), the cost of such performance shall be payable upon demand by Tenant to
----
Landlord with interest accruing from the demand date at the Overdue Rate and
Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies for failure to pay such costs
on demand as for Tenant's failure to pay Minimum Rent.

IMPROVEMENTS, ETC.
------------------
6.1 Improvements to the Leased Property. Tenant shall not make, construct
-----------------------------------
or install (and shall direct the Manager not to construct or install) any
Capital Additions without, in each instance, obtaining Landlord's prior written
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
conditioned provided that (a) construction or installation of the same would not
adversely affect or violate any Legal Requirement or Insurance Requirement
applicable to the Leased Property and (b) Landlord shall have received an
Officer's Certificate certifying as to the satisfaction of the conditions set
out in clause (a) above; provided, however, that no such consent shall be
-------- -------
required in the event immediate action is required to prevent imminent danger to
person or property. Prior to
- 30 -
commencing construction of any Capital Addition, Tenant shall submit, or shall
direct the Manager to submit, to Landlord, in writing, a proposal setting forth,
in reasonable detail, any such proposed improvement and shall provide to
Landlord such plans and specifications, and such permits, licenses, contracts
and such other information concerning the same as Landlord may reasonably
request. Landlord shall have thirty (30) days to review all materials submitted
to Landlord in connection with any such proposal. Failure of Landlord to respond
to Tenant's or the Manager's proposal within thirty (30) days after receipt of
all information and materials requested by Landlord in connection with the
proposed improvement shall be deemed to constitute approval of the same. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, such proposal shall indicate the
approximate projected cost of constructing such proposed improvement and the use
or uses to which it will be put. No Capital Addition shall be made which would
tie in or connect any Leased Improvement with any other improvements on property
adjacent to the Leased Property (and not part of the Land) including, without
limitation, tie-ins of buildings or other structures or utilities. Tenant shall
not finance, and shall direct the Manager not to finance, the cost of any
construction of such improvement by the granting of a lien on or security
interest in the Leased Property or such improvement, or Tenant's interest
therein, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be
withheld by Landlord in Landlord's sole discretion. Any such improvements shall,
upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement, remain or pass to
and become the property of Landlord, free and clear of all encumbrances other
than Permitted Encumbrances.
6.2 Salvage. All materials which are scrapped or removed in connection
-------
with the making of either Capital Additions or non-Capital Additions or repairs
required by Article 5 shall be or become the property of the party that paid for
---------
such work.
ARTICLE 7

LIENS
-----
7.1 Liens. Subject to Article 8, Tenant shall not, directly or
----- ---------
indirectly, create or allow to remain and shall promptly discharge, at its
expense, any lien, encumbrance, attachment, title retention agreement or claim
upon the Leased Property or Tenant's leasehold interest therein or any
attachment, levy, claim or encumbrance in respect of the Rent, other than (a)
Permitted Encumbrances, (b) restrictions, liens and other encumbrances which are
consented to in writing by Landlord, (c) liens for those taxes of Landlord which
Tenant is not required to pay hereunder, (d) subleases permitted by Article 17,
----------
(e) liens for Impositions or for sums resulting from noncompliance with Legal
Requirements so long as (i) the same are not yet due and payable, or (ii) are
being contested in accordance with Article 8, (f) liens of mechanics, laborers,
---------
materialmen, suppliers or vendors incurred in the ordinary course of business
that are not yet due and payable or are
- 31 -
for sums that are being contested in accordance with Article 8, (g) any Hotel
---------
Mortgages or other liens which are the responsibility of Landlord pursuant to
the provisions of Article 21 and (h) Landlord Liens.
----------
7.2 Landlord's Lien. In addition to any statutory landlord's lien and in
---------------
order to secure payment of the Rent and all other sums payable hereunder by
Tenant, and to secure payment of any loss, cost or damage which Landlord may
suffer by reason of Tenant's breach of this Agreement, Tenant hereby grants unto
Landlord a security interest in and an express contractual lien upon Tenant's
Personal Property (except motor vehicles), and all ledger sheets, files,
records, documents and instruments (including, without limitation, computer
programs, tapes and related electronic data processing) relating to the
operation of the Hotels (the "Records") and all proceeds therefrom, subject to
-------
any Permitted Encumbrances; and such Tenant's Personal Property shall not be
removed from the Leased Property at any time when a Default or an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing.
Upon Landlord's request, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord
financing statements in form sufficient to perfect the security interest of
Landlord in Tenant's Personal Property and the proceeds thereof in accordance
with the provisions of the applicable laws of the State. Tenant hereby grants
Landlord an irrevocable limited power of attorney, coupled with an interest, to
execute all such financing statements in Tenant's name, place and stead. The
security interest herein granted is in addition to any statutory lien for the
Rent.
ARTICLE 8
---------
PERMITTED CONTESTS
------------------
Tenant and the Manager shall have the right to contest the amount or
validity of any Imposition, Legal Requirement, Insurance Requirement,
Environmental Obligation, lien, attachment, levy, encumbrance, charge or claim
(collectively, "Claims") as to the Leased Property, by appropriate legal
------
proceedings, conducted in good faith and with due diligence, provided that (a)
the foregoing shall in no way be construed as relieving, modifying or extending
Tenant's obligation to pay any Claims as finally determined, (b) such contest
shall not cause Landlord or Tenant to be in default under any mortgage or deed
of trust encumbering the Leased Property (Landlord agreeing that any such
mortgage or deed of trust shall permit Tenant and the Manager to exercise the
rights granted pursuant to this Article 8) or any interest therein or result in
---------
or reasonably be expected to result in a lien attaching to the Leased Property,
(c) no part of the Leased Property nor any Rent therefrom shall be in any
immediate danger of sale, forfeiture, attachment or loss, and (d) Tenant shall
indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and against any cost, claim, damage,
penalty or reasonable expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by
Landlord in connection therewith or as a result thereof.
- 32 -
Landlord agrees to join in any such proceedings if required legally to prosecute
such contest, provided that Landlord shall not thereby be subjected to any
liability therefor (including, without limitation, for the payment of any costs
or expenses in connection therewith) unless Tenant agrees by agreement in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, to assume and indemnify
Landlord with respect to the same. Tenant shall be entitled to any refund of any
Claims and such charges and penalties or interest thereon which have been paid
by Tenant or paid by Landlord to the extent that Landlord has been fully
reimbursed by Tenant. If Tenant shall fail (x) to pay or cause to be paid any
Claims when finally determined, (y) to provide reasonable security therefor, or
(z) to prosecute or cause to be prosecuted any such contest diligently and in
good faith, Landlord may, upon reasonable notice to Tenant (which notice may be
oral and shall not be required if Landlord shall reasonably determine that the
same is not practicable), pay such charges, together with interest and penalties
due with respect thereto, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord therefor, upon
demand, as Additional Charges.

-----------------------------
9.1 General Insurance Requirements. Tenant shall, at all times during the
------------------------------
Term and at any other time Tenant shall be in possession of the Leased Property,
keep (or direct the Manager to 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, 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 percent (100%) of the then full Replacement
Cost thereof (as defined in Section 9.2);
-----------
(b) Business interruption and blanket earnings plus extra expense
under a rental value insurance policy or endorsement covering risk of loss
during the lesser of the first twelve (12) months of reconstruction or the
actual reconstruction period necessitated by the occurrence of any of the
hazards described in subparagraph (a) above, 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;
(c) Comprehensive general liability insurance, including bodily injury
and property damage (on an occurrence basis and on a 1973 or 1988 ISO CGL
form or on a form otherwise maintained by similarly situated
- 33 -
tenants, including, without limitation, broad form contractual liability,
independent contractor's hazard and completed operations coverage) in an
amount not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) per occurrence and
umbrella coverage of all such claims in an amount not less than Twenty-
Three Million Dollars ($23,000,000);
(d) Flood (if the Leased Property is located in whole or in part
within an area identified as an area having special flood hazards and in
which flood insurance has been made available under the National Flood
Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, or the Flood Disaster Protection Act of
1973, as amended (or any successor acts thereto)), and such other hazards
and in such amounts as may be customary for comparable properties in the
area;
(e) Worker's compensation insurance coverage for all persons employed
by Tenant on the Leased Property with statutory limits and otherwise with
limits of and provisions in accordance with the requirements of applicable
local, State and federal law, and employer's liability insurance as is
customarily carried by similar employers; and
(f) Such additional insurance as may be reasonably required, from time
to time, by Landlord or any Hotel Mortgagee and which is customarily
carried by comparable lodging 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. In the event either
party believes that the then full Replacement Cost has increased or decreased at
any time during the Term, such party, at its own cost, shall have the right to
have such full Replacement Cost redetermined by an independent accredited
appraiser approved by the other, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. The party desiring to have the full Replacement Cost so
redetermined shall forthwith, on receipt of such determination by such
appraiser, give Notice thereof to the other. The determination of such
appraiser shall be final and binding on the parties hereto until any subsequent
determination under this Section 9.2, and Tenant shall forthwith conform the
-----------
amount of the insurance carried to the amount so determined by the appraiser.
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
- 34 -
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 general policy holder's rating
of no less than B++ in Best's latest rating guide. All such policies described
in Sections 9.1(a) through (d)shall include no deductible in excess of Two
--------------------------
Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) and, with the exception of the
insurance described in Section 9.1(e), 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 deliver policies or 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, 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 Tenant or the Manager, provided, that (a)
the coverage 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.
---------
Without limiting the foregoing, the amounts of insurance that are required to be
maintained pursuant to Section 9.1 shall be on a Hotel by Hotel basis, and shall
-----------
not be subject to an aggregate limit, except for products, completed operations
and flood. Notwithstanding any other provisions of Article 9 or 10, Tenant may
---------------
permit the Manager to self insure or otherwise retain such workers' insurance
risks or portions thereof as the Manager does with respect to other similar
hotels the Manager owns, leases or manages under the Marriott name in the United
States pursuant to any established self insurance program of Marriott
International, Inc.
- 35 -
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 existing insurance by securing an
---------
additional policy or additional policies, unless all parties having an insurable
interest in the subject matter of such insurance, including Landlord and all
Hotel Mortgagees, are included therein as additional insureds and the loss is
payable under such insurance in the same manner as losses are payable under this
Agreement. 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. Notwithstanding the existence of any
---------------------------
insurance provided for herein and without regard to the policy limits of any
such insurance, Tenant shall protect, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord 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 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 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 is made a party, (c) any Impositions
that are the obligations of Tenant to pay pursuant to the applicable provisions
of this Agreement, and (d) any failure on the part of Tenant or anyone claiming
under Tenant to perform or comply with any of the terms of this Agreement.
Tenant, at its expense, shall contest, resist and defend any such claim, action
or proceeding asserted or instituted against Landlord (and shall not be
responsible for any duplicative attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord) or may
compromise or otherwise dispose of the same, with Landlord's prior written
consent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In the
event Landlord shall unreasonably withhold or delay its consent, Tenant shall
not be liable pursuant to this Section 9.7 for any incremental increase in costs
-----------
or expenses resulting therefrom. The obligations 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.

ARTICLE 10
----------
CASUALTY
--------
10.1 Insurance Proceeds. Except as provided in the last clause of this
------------------
sentence, 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 (other than the proceeds of any business interruption
---------
insurance) shall be paid directly to Landlord (subject to the provisions of
Section 10.2) and all loss adjustments with respect to losses payable to
------------
Landlord shall require the prior written consent of Landlord; provided, however,
-------- -------
that, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all
such proceeds less than or equal to Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
($250,000) shall be paid directly to Tenant or the Manager and such losses may
be adjusted without Landlord's consent. If Tenant is required to reconstruct or
repair the Leased Property as provided herein, such proceeds shall be paid out
by Landlord from time to time for the reasonable 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 10.2.4. Provided no
--------------
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any excess proceeds
of insurance remaining after the completion of the restoration shall be paid to
Tenant or the Manager. 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. If, during the
----------------------------------------
Term, the Leased Property shall be totally or partially destroyed and the Hotel
located thereon is thereby rendered Unsuitable for Its Permitted Use, either
Landlord or Tenant may, by the giving of Notice thereof to the other, terminate
this Agreement, whereupon, this Agreement shall terminate and Landlord shall be
entitled to retain the insurance proceeds payable on account of such damage.
10.2.2 Partial Damage or Destruction. If, during the Term, the
-----------------------------
Leased Property shall be totally or partially destroyed but the Hotel is not
rendered Unsuitable for Its Permitted Use, Tenant shall, subject to Section
-------
10.2.3, promptly restore the Hotel as provided in Section 10.2.4.
------ --------------
10.2.3 Insufficient Insurance Proceeds. If the cost of the repair or
-------------------------------
restoration of the Leased Property exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds
received by Landlord and Tenant pursuant to Article 9(a), (c), (d) or, if
-----------------------------
applicable, (e), Tenant shall give Landlord Notice thereof which notice shall
--------------
set forth in reasonable detail the nature of such deficiency and whether Tenant
shall pay and
- 37 -
assume the amount of such deficiency (Tenant having no obligation to do so,
except that, if Tenant shall elect to make such funds available, the same
shall become an irrevocable obligation of Tenant pursuant to this Agreement).
In the event Tenant shall elect not to pay and assume the amount of such
deficiency, Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation),
exercisable at Landlord's sole election by Notice to Tenant, given within sixty
(60) days after Tenant's notice of the deficiency, to elect to make available
for application to the cost of repair or restoration the amount of such
deficiency; provided, however, in such event, upon any disbursement by Landlord
-------- -------
thereof, the Minimum Rent shall be adjusted as provided in Section 3.1.1(b). In
----------------
the event that neither Landlord nor Tenant shall elect to make such deficiency
available for restoration, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this
Agreement by Notice to the other, whereupon, this Agreement shall terminate as
provided in Section 10.2.1. It is expressly understood and agreed, however,
--------------
that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Tenant shall
be strictly liable and solely responsible for the amount of any deductible and
shall, upon any insurable loss, pay over the amount of such deductible to
Landlord at the time and in the manner herein provided for payment of the
applicable proceeds to Landlord.
10.2.4 Disbursement of Proceeds. In the event Tenant is required to
------------------------
restore the Leased Property pursuant to Section 10.2, Tenant shall (or shall
------------
direct 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 and any additional amounts
payable by Landlord pursuant to Section 10.2.3 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 on AIA Forms G702 and G703 (or on such
other form or forms as may be reasonably acceptable to Landlord). Landlord may,
at its option, condition advancement of said insurance proceeds and other
amounts on (i) the absence of any Event of Default, (ii) its approval of plans
and specifications of an architect satisfactory to Landlord (which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (iii) general contractors'
estimates, (iv) architect's certificates, (v) unconditional lien waivers of
general contractors, if available, (vi) evidence of approval by all governmental
authorities and other regulatory bodies whose approval is required and (vii)
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.
- 38 -
Tenant's obligation to restore the Leased Property pursuant to this Article
-------
10 shall be subject to the release of available insurance proceeds by the
---
applicable Hotel Mortgagee to Landlord or directly to Tenant or the Manager and,
in the event such proceeds are insufficient, Landlord electing to make such
deficiency available therefor (and disbursement of such deficiency).
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 fourth Extended Term and if
such damage or destruction cannot reasonably be expected to be fully repaired
and restored prior to the date that is six (6) months prior to the end of such
Extended 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 in trust 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 all
alterations and improvements made by Tenant and Tenant's Personal Property, or
(b) replace such alterations and improvements and Tenant's Personal Property
with improvements or items of the same or better quality and utility in the
operation of the Leased Property.
10.6 No Abatement of Rent. This Agreement shall remain in full force and
--------------------
effect and Tenant's obligation to make all payments of Rent and to pay all other
charges as and when required under this Agreement shall remain unabated during
the Term notwithstanding any damage involving the Leased Property (provided that
Landlord shall credit against such payments any amounts paid to Landlord as a
consequence of such damage under any business interruption insurance obtained by
Tenant hereunder). The provisions of this Article 10 shall be considered an
----------
express agreement governing any cause of damage or destruction to the Leased
Property and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, no local or State statute,
laws, rules, regulation or ordinance in effect during the Term which provide for
such a contingency shall have any application in such case.
10.7 Waiver. Tenant hereby waives any statutory rights of termination
------
which may arise by reason of any damage or destruction of the Leased Property.
- 39 -
ARTICLE 11
----------
CONDEMNATION
------------
11.1 Total Condemnation, Etc. If either (i) the whole of the Leased
------------------------
Property shall be taken by Condemnation or (ii) a Condemnation of less than the
whole of the Leased Property renders the Leased Property Unsuitable for Its
Permitted Use, this Agreement shall terminate and Tenant and Landlord shall seek
the Award for their interests in the Leased Property as provided in Section
-------
11.5.
----
11.2 Partial Condemnation. In the event of a Condemnation of less than the
--------------------
whole of the Leased Property such that the Leased Property is still suitable for
its Permitted Use, Tenant shall, or shall direct the Manager to, to the extent
of the Award and any additional amounts disbursed by Landlord as hereinafter
provided, commence promptly and continue diligently to restore the untaken
portion of the Leased Improvements so that such Leased Improvements shall
constitute a complete architectural unit of the same general character and
condition (as nearly as may be possible under the circumstances) as the Leased
Improvements existing immediately prior to such Condemnation, in full compliance
with all Legal Requirements, subject to the provisions of this Section 11.2. If
------------
the cost of the repair or restoration of the Leased Property exceeds the amount
of the Award, Tenant shall give Landlord Notice thereof which notice shall set
forth in reasonable detail the nature of such deficiency and whether Tenant
shall pay and assume the amount of such deficiency (Tenant having no obligation
to do so, except that if Tenant shall elect to make such funds available, the
same shall become an irrevocable obligation of Tenant pursuant to this
Agreement). In the event Tenant shall elect not to pay and assume the amount of
such deficiency, Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation),
exercisable at Landlord's sole election by Notice to Tenant given within sixty
(60) days after Tenant's Notice of the deficiency, to elect to make available
for application to the cost of repair or restoration the amount of such
deficiency; provided, however, in such event, upon any disbursement by Landlord
-------- -------
thereof, the Minimum Rent shall be adjusted as provided in Section 3.1.1(b). In
----------------
the event that neither Landlord nor Tenant shall elect to make such deficiency
available for restoration, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this
Agreement and the entire Award shall be retained by Landlord.
Subject to the terms hereof, Landlord shall contribute to the cost of
restoration that part of the Award necessary to complete such repair or
restoration, together with severance and other damages awarded for the taken
Leased Improvements and any deficiency Landlord has agreed to disburse, to
Tenant regularly during the restoration period so as to permit payment for the
cost of such repair or restoration. Landlord may, at its option, condition
advancement of such Award and other amounts on (i) the absence of any Event of
Default, (ii) its approval of plans and specifications of an architect
satisfactory to Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), (iii) general contractors'
- 40 -
estimates, (iv) architect's certificates, unconditional lien waivers of general
contractors, if available, (vi) evidence of approval by all governmental
authorities and other regulatory bodies whose approval is required and (vii)
such other certificates as Landlord may, from time to time, reasonably require.
Landlord's obligation under this Section 11.2 to disburse the Award and such
------------
other amounts shall be subject to (x) the collection thereof by Landlord and (y)
the satisfaction of any applicable requirements of any Hotel Mortgage, and the
release of such Award by the applicable Hotel Mortgagee. Tenant's obligation to
restore the Leased Property shall be subject to the release of the Award by the
applicable Hotel Mortgagee to Landlord.
11.3 Abatement of Rent. Other than as specifically provided in this
-----------------
Agreement, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and Tenant's
obligation to make all payments of Rent and to pay all other charges as and when
required under this Agreement shall remain unabated during the Term
notwithstanding any Condemnation involving the Leased Property. The provisions
of this Article 11 shall be considered an express agreement governing any
----------
Condemnation involving the Leased Property and, to the maximum extent permitted
by law, no local or State statute, law, rule, regulation or ordinance in effect
during the Term which provides for such a contingency shall have any application
in such case.
11.4 Temporary Condemnation. In the event of any temporary Condemnation of
----------------------
the Leased Property or Tenant's interest therein, this Agreement shall continue
in full force and effect and Tenant shall continue to pay, in the manner and on
the terms herein specified, the full amount of the Rent. Tenant shall continue
to perform and observe all of the other terms and conditions of this Agreement
on the part of the Tenant to be performed and observed. Provided no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the entire amount of any Award made for
such temporary Condemnation allocable to the Term, whether paid by way of
damages, rent or otherwise, shall be paid to Tenant. Tenant shall, promptly
upon the termination of any such period of temporary Condemnation, at its sole
cost and expense, restore the Leased Property to the condition that existed
immediately prior to such Condemnation, in full compliance with all Legal
Requirements, unless such period of temporary Condemnation shall extend beyond
the expiration of the Term, in which event Tenant shall not be required to make
such restoration. For purposes of this Section 11.4, a Condemnation shall be
------------
deemed to be temporary if the period of such Condemnation is not expected to,
and does not, exceed twelve (12) months.
11.5 Allocation of Award. Except as provided in Section 11.4 and the
------------------- -------------
second sentence of this Section 11.5, the total Award shall be solely the
------------
property of and payable to Landlord. Any portion of the Award made for the
taking of Tenant's leasehold interest in the Leased Property, loss of business
during the remainder of the Term, the taking of Tenant's Personal Property, or
Tenant's removal and
- 41 -
relocation expenses shall be the sole property of and payable to Tenant (subject
to the provisions of Section 11.2). In any condemnation proceedings, Landlord
and Tenant shall each seek its own Award in conformity herewith, at its own
expense.

----------
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:

necessary to protect person or property); 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

days in the aggregate) as may be necessary to cure such default with all
due diligence; or
(d) should any obligation of Tenant in respect of any Indebtedness

and payable prior to the stated maturity thereof, or should there occur and
be continuing with respect to any such Indebtedness or Retained Funds any
event of default under any instrument or agreement evidencing or securing
the same, the effect of which is to permit the holder or holders of such
instrument or agreement or a trustee, agent or other representative on
behalf
- 42 -
of such holder or holders, to cause any such obligations to become
due prior to its stated maturity; or
(e) should an event of default occur and be continuing beyond the
expiration of any applicable cure period under any of the Incidental
Documents, the Other Leases, or by Host or the Sellers (as defined therein)
under the Purchase Agreement; or
(f) should there occur a final unappealable determination by
applicable State authorities of the revocation or limitation of any

material limitation of any material license, permit, 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 limitation; or
(g) should any material representation or warranty made by Tenant or
the Sellers (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) under or in connection
with this Agreement, any Incidental Document, the Other Leases or the
Purchase Agreement, or in any document, certificate or agreement delivered
in connection herewith or therewith prove to have been false or misleading
in any material respect on the date when made or deemed made; or
(h) should Tenant generally not be paying its debts as they become
due or should Tenant make a general assignment for the benefit of
creditors; or
(i) should any petition be filed by or against Tenant under the
Federal bankruptcy laws, or should any other proceeding be instituted by or
against Tenant seeking to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking

or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking the entry of an order for
relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other
similar official for Tenant or for any substantial part of the property of
Tenant and such proceeding is not dismissed within ninety (90) days after
institution thereof, or should Tenant take any action to authorize or
effect any of the actions set forth above in this paragraph; or
(j) should Tenant cause or institute any proceeding for its
dissolution or termination; or
- 43 -
(k) should an event of default occur and be continuing under any
mortgage which is secured by Tenant's leasehold interest hereunder or
should the mortgagee under any such mortgage accelerate the indebtedness
secured thereby or commence a foreclosure action in connection with said
mortgage; or
(l) should the estate or interest of Tenant in the Leased Property
or any part thereof be levied upon or attached in any proceeding and the
same shall not be vacated or discharged within the later of (x) one hundred
and twenty (120) days after commencement thereof, unless the amount in
dispute is less than $250,000, in which case Tenant shall give notice to
Landlord of the dispute but Tenant may defend in any suitable way, and (y)
thirty (30) days after receipt by Tenant of Notice thereof from Landlord
(unless Tenant shall be contesting such lien or attachment in good faith in
accordance with Article 8); or
---------
(m) should any Event of Default (as defined in the Management
Agreement) 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
(n) should Tenant at any time cease to be a direct or indirect
Subsidiary of Host;
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
and upon the expiration of the time, if any, fixed in such Notice, this
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.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, subject to the rights of the
Manager under the Management Agreement, Landlord may, in addition to any other
remedies provided herein, 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 five (5) 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
- 44 -
(including, 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 be paid to Tenant or as otherwise required by law and Tenant
shall pay any deficiency to Landlord, as Additional Charges, upon demand.
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 reletting of all or any of 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 reletting, including, without limitation, all repossession
costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, attorneys' fees, advertising,
expenses of employees, alteration costs and expenses of preparation for such
reletting. Tenant shall pay 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 with respect to such of the Leased
Property.
At any time after such termination, whether or not Landlord shall have
collected any such current damages, 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
paragraph, annual payments by Tenant on account of Impositions and Additional
Rent would be the same as payments required for the immediately preceding twelve
calendar months, or if less than twelve calendar months have expired since the
Commencement Date, the payments required for such lesser period projected 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.
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.
- 45 -
In case of any Event of Default, re-entry, expiration and dispossession by
summary proceedings or otherwise, Landlord may, subject to the rights of the
Manager under the Management Agreement, (a) relet 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 relet 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 reletting 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. Subject to the last
sentence of this paragraph, Landlord shall in no event be liable in any way
whatsoever for any failure to relet all or any portion of the Leased Property,
or, in the event that the Leased Property is relet, for failure to collect the
rent under such reletting. 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. Landlord
covenants and agrees, in the event of any termination of this Agreement as a
result of an Event of Default, to use reasonable efforts to mitigate its
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 TO A
------------
TRIAL BY JURY IN THE EVENT OF SUMMARY PROCEEDINGS TO ENFORCE THE REMEDIES 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. IN ADDITION, TENANT
UNDERSTANDS, ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, IN THE EVENT THIS AGREEMENT IS
TERMINATED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12.1 OR 12.2, NEITHER THE INITIAL RETAINED FUNDS
--------------------
NOR THE OPTION RETAINED FUNDS (AS SUCH TERMS ARE DEFINED IN THE PURCHASE
AGREEMENT) SHALL BE PAID OR PAYABLE (TENANT WAIVING, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND ITS
AFFILIATED PERSONS, ALL CLAIMS AND CAUSES OF ACTION WITH RESPECT THERETO).
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
- 46 -
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
------------
Any holding over by Tenant after the expiration or sooner termination of
this Agreement 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 damages
(direct or indirect) 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.
ARTICLE 14
----------
LANDLORD'S NOTICE OBLIGATIONS; LANDLORD DEFAULT
-----------------------------------------------
14.1 Landlord Notice Obligation. Landlord shall give prompt Notice to
--------------------------
Tenant and the Manager of any matters affecting the Leased Property of which
Landlord receives written notice or actual knowledge and, to the extent Tenant
otherwise has no notice or actual knowledge thereof, Landlord shall be liable
for any liabilities arising from the failure to deliver such Notice to Tenant.
Landlord shall not amend the Management Agreement or any other agreement
affecting the Leased Property without Tenant's prior written consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
- 47 -
14.2 Landlord's Default. If Landlord shall default in the performance or
------------------
observance of any of its covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement or
any obligation of Landlord, if any, under any agreement affecting the Leased
Property, the performance of which is not Tenant's obligation pursuant to this
Agreement, and any such default shall continue for a period of ten (10) days
after Notice thereof with respect to monetary defaults and thirty (30) days
after Notice thereof with respect to non-monetary defaults from Tenant to
Landlord and any applicable Hotel Mortgagee, or such additional period as may be
reasonably required to correct the same, Tenant may declare the occurrence of a
"Landlord Default" by a second Notice to Landlord and to such Hotel Mortgagee.
----------------
Thereafter, Tenant may forthwith cure the same and, subject to the provisions of
the following paragraph, invoice Landlord for costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) incurred by Tenant in curing the
same, together with interest thereon from the date Landlord receives Tenant's
invoice, at the Overdue Rate. Tenant shall have no right to terminate this
Agreement for any default by Landlord hereunder and no right, for any such
default, to offset or counterclaim against any Rent or other charges due
hereunder.
If Landlord shall in good faith dispute the occurrence of any Landlord
Default and Landlord, before the expiration of the applicable cure period, shall
give Notice thereof to Tenant, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis
therefor, no Landlord Default shall be deemed to have occurred and Landlord
shall have no obligation with respect thereto until final adverse determination
thereof; provided, however, that in the event of any such adverse determination,
-------- -------
Landlord shall pay to Tenant interest on any disputed funds at the Interest
Rate, from the date demand for such funds was made by Tenant until the date of
final adverse determination and, thereafter, at the Overdue Rate until paid. If
Tenant and Landlord shall fail, in good faith, to resolve any such dispute
within ten (10) days after Landlord's Notice of dispute, either may submit the
matter for resolution to a court of competent jurisdiction.

SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT
-------------------------
16.1 Subletting and Assignment. Except as provided in Section 16.3 below,
------------------------- ------------
Tenant shall not, 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
- 48 -
(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 anyone other than Tenant and the Manager, 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 direct or indirect transfer of any interest in Tenant such that Tenant shall
cease to be a direct or indirect Subsidiary of Host or any transaction pursuant
to which Tenant is merged or consolidated with another Entity 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.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord agrees that Landlord shall not
unreasonably withhold, delay or condition Landlord's consent to an assignment of
this Agreement by Tenant provided that (i) Tenant shall simultaneously assign
its interest under all of the Other Leases to the same assignee on the same
terms and conditions, (ii) the Manager shall have granted its consent to such
transfer and the Management Agreement and all of the other Management Agreements
(as defined therein) under the Other Leases shall remain in full force and
effect, (iii) such assignee shall, in Landlord's reasonable determination, have
sufficient financial resources and liquidity to fulfill Tenant's obligations
under this Agreement and the Other Leases, and (iv) such assignee shall not be
under common control with or controlled by persons who have been convicted of
felonies involving moral turpitude in any state or federal court. If Tenant
wishes to assign this Agreement as provided in this paragraph, Tenant shall give
Landlord Notice thereof (the "Request Notice"), which Request Notice shall
--------------
identify the proposed assignee and the terms and conditions of the assignment
and shall include appropriate information relating to such assignee
demonstrating compliance with the provisions of this paragraph. Landlord shall,
within sixty (60) days after the giving the Request Notice, give Notice to
Tenant (the "Response Notice") as to whether Landlord consents to such transfer.
---------------
Landlord shall also have the right, exercisable by notice given in the Response
Notice, to require Tenant to assign this Agreement to a Person designated by
Landlord on the same terms and conditions as those described in the Request
Notice for transfer to Tenant's proposed assignee.
If this Agreement is assigned or if the Leased Property or any part thereof
is sublet (or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, the Manager and their
respective employees) Landlord may collect the rents from such assignee,
subtenant or occupant, as the case may be, and apply the net amount collected to
the Rent herein reserved, but no such collection shall be deemed a waiver of the
provisions set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 16.1, the acceptance
------------
by Landlord of such assignee, subtenant or occupant, as the case may be, as a
tenant, or a release of
- 49 -
Tenant from the future performance by Tenant of its covenants, agreements or
obligations contained in this Agreement.
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,
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. 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
- 50 -
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 the first paragraph of Section 16.1.
------------
16.3 Permitted Sublease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the
------------------
provisions of Section 16.4 and any other express conditions or limitations set
------------
forth herein, Tenant may, in each instance after Notice to Landlord (unless
otherwise provided in the Management Agreement), sublease space at the Leased
Property for newsstand, gift shop, parking garage, health club, restaurant, bar
or commissary purposes or similar concessions in furtherance of the Permitted
Use, so long as such subleases do not demise, in the aggregate, in excess of
three thousand (3,000) square feet, will not violate or affect any Legal
Requirement or Insurance Requirement, and Tenant shall provide such additional
insurance coverage applicable to the activities to be conducted in such
subleased space as Landlord and any Hotel Mortgagee may reasonably require.
16.4 Sublease Limitation. For so long as Landlord or any Affiliated Person
-------------------
as to Landlord 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
income or profits derived by the business activities of such sublessee, or (b)
any other formula such that any portion of such sublease rental 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.

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

Condemnation proceeds), or (g) required to remove any Person occupying the
Leased Property or any part thereof, except if such person claims by, through or

attorn, as aforesaid and Landlord agrees to provide Tenant with an instrument of
nondisturbance and attornment from each such Superior Mortgagee and Superior
Landlord in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Tenant.

the address set forth in the above described Notice, and the curing of any of
Landlord's defaults by such Hotel Mortgagee or ground lessor shall be treated as
performance by Landlord. Each Hotel Mortgagee shall provide to Tenant copies of
any notices of default given by such Hotel Mortgagee to Landlord.

ARTICLE 22
----------
MISCELLANEOUS
-------------
22.1 Limitation on Payment of Rent. All agreements between 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
- 59 -
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, each
-------------------
legal, equitable or contractual right, power and remedy of Landlord or Tenant,
now or hereafter provided either in this Agreement or by statute or otherwise,
shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other
right, power and remedy and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by
Landlord or Tenant (as applicable) of any one or more of such rights, powers and
remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or subsequent exercise by Landlord
of any or all of such other rights, powers and remedies.
22.4 Severability. Any clause, sentence, paragraph, section or provision
------------
of this Agreement held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid,
illegal or ineffective shall not impair, invalidate or nullify the remainder of
this Agreement, but rather the effect thereof shall be confined to the clause,
sentence, paragraph, section or provision so held to be invalid, illegal or
ineffective, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal
or ineffective provisions had never been contained therein.
22.5 Acceptance of Surrender. No surrender to Landlord of this 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 Landlord and
no act by Landlord or any representative or agent of Landlord, 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 it
------------------
is the intent of the parties that there shall be no merger of this Agreement or
of the leasehold estate created hereby by reason of the fact that the same
Person may acquire, own or hold, directly or indirectly this Agreement or the
leasehold estate created hereby and the fee estate or ground landlord's interest
in the Leased Property.
22.7 Conveyance by Landlord. If Landlord or any successor owner of all or
----------------------
any portion of the Leased Property shall convey all or any portion of the Leased
Property in accordance with the terms hereof other than as security for a debt,
and
- 60 -
the grantee or transferee of such of the Leased Property shall expressly assume
all obligations of Landlord hereunder arising or accruing from and after the
date of such conveyance or transfer, 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.
22.8 Quiet Enjoyment. Provided that no Event of Default shall have
---------------
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
Landlord or anyone claiming by, through or under Landlord, but subject to (a)
any Encumbrance permitted under Article 20 or otherwise permitted to be 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
in good faith and by proper proceedings, provided the same do not materially
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
make a deduction from or offset against the Rent or any other sum payable under
this Agreement, or to fail to perform any other obligation of Tenant hereunder.
22.9 Memorandum of Lease. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall record this
-------------------
Agreement. However, Landlord and Tenant shall promptly, upon the request of the
other, enter into a short form memorandum of this Agreement, in form suitable
for recording under the laws of the State in which reference to this Agreement,
and all options contained herein, shall be made. The parties shall share
equally all costs and expenses of recording such memorandum.

suffered by Tenant as the result of a breach of this Agreement by Landlord.
Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived,
discharged or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by the party
to be charged. All the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns. Each term or provision of this Agreement to be

Time is of the essence with respect to the exercise of any rights of Tenant
under this Agreement. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, any
obligations of Tenant (including without limitation, any monetary, repair and
indemnification obligations) and Landlord shall survive the expiration or sooner
termination of this Agreement. Whenever it is provided in this Agreement that
Tenant shall direct the Manager to take any action, Tenant shall not be deemed
to have satisfied such obligation unless Tenant shall have exhausted all
applicable rights and remedies of Tenant as "Owner" under the Management
Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided with respect to the Initial
Retained Funds and the Option Retained Funds (as such terms are defined in the
Purchase Agreement), nothing contained in this Agreement (including, without

or obligations and no such liabilities or obligations shall be imposed on any of

liabilities of Landlord or Tenant hereunder.

more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but which, when
taken together, shall constitute but one instrument and shall become effective

this Agreement are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or affect
the meaning of the provisions hereof.

construed, applied and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State
applicable to contracts between residents of the State which are to be performed

Agreement may be brought and prosecuted in such court or courts located in the
