1. Appointment of Property Manager; Acceptance of Appointment. The Company hereby appoints the Property Manager as property manager to the Company for the purpose of managing the Asset. The Property Manager hereby accepts such appointment.
2. Authority of the Property Manager.

(b) The Property Manager shall devote such time to its duties under this Agreement as may be deemed reasonably necessary by the Property Manager in light of the understanding that such duties are expected to be performed only at occasional or irregular intervals.
(c) The Property Manager may delegate all or any of its duties under this Agreement to any Person who shall perform such delegated duties under the supervision of the Property Manager on such terms as the Property Manager shall determine.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Property Manager shall not have the authority to:
(i) acquire any asset or service for an amount equal to or greater than 1% of the value of the Asset as of such date, individually, or 3% of the value of the Asset as of such date, in the aggregate without the prior consent of the Managing Member of the Company; or

3. Cooperation. The Property Manager agrees to use reasonable efforts to make appropriate personnel available for consultation with the Company on matters pertaining to the Asset and to consult with the Managing Member of the Company regarding property management decisions with respect to the Asset prior to execution. The Managing Member of the Company may make any reasonable request for the provision of information or for other cooperation from the Property Manager with respect to its duties under this Agreement, and the Property Manager shall use reasonable efforts to comply with such request, including, without limitation, furnishing the Company with such documents, reports, data and other information as the Managing Member of the Company may reasonably request regarding the Asset and the Property Manager’s performance hereunder or compliance with the terms hereof.
4. Representations and Warranties. Each party hereto represents and warrants that this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such party and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such party.
5. Limitation of Liability; Indemnification.
(a) None of the Property Manager, its affiliates, or any of their respective directors, members, stockholders, partners, officers, employees or controlling persons (collectively, “Managing Parties”) shall be liable to the Company for (i) any act or omission performed or failed to be performed by any Managing Party (other than any criminal wrongdoing) arising from the exercise of such Managing Party’s rights or obligations hereunder, or for any losses, claims, costs, damages, or liabilities arising therefrom, in the absence of criminal wrongdoing, willful misfeasance or gross negligence on the part of such Managing Party, (ii) any tax liability imposed on the Company or the Asset, or (iii) any losses due to the actions or omissions of the Company or any brokers or other current or former agents or advisers of the Company.
(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company will indemnify the Property Manager and its Managing Parties against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, judgments, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) and amounts paid in settlement (collectively, “Losses”) to which such person may become subject in connection with any matter arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, except to the extent that any such Loss results solely from the acts or omissions of a Managing Party that have been determined in a final, non-appealable decision of a court, arbitrator or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Managing Party’s fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence. If this Section 5 or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify the Managing Party for any Losses incurred to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Section that shall not have been invalidated.
(c) The Property Manager gives no warranty as to the performance or profitability of the Asset or as to the performance of any third party engaged by the Property Manager hereunder.
(d) The Property Manager may rely upon and shall be protected in acting or refraining from action upon any instruction from, or document signed by, any authorized person of the Company or other person reasonably believed by the Property Manager to be authorized to give or sign the same whether or not the authority of such person is then effective.
6. Assignments. This Agreement may not be assigned by either party without the consent of the other party. In performing its obligations under this Agreement, the Property Manager may, at its discretion, delegate any or all of its rights, powers and functions under this Agreement to any Person in accordance with section 2(d) without the need for the consent of the Company, provided that the Property Manager’s liability to the Company for all matters so delegated shall not be affected by such delegation.
7. Compensation and Expenses.
(a) As compensation for services performed by the Property Manager under this Agreement, and in consideration therefor, the Company will pay a property management fee (the “Property Management Fee”) to the Property Manager calculated in accordance with Appendix B hereto.
(b) Except as set forth in Section 5, the Company will bear all expenses of the Asset and shall reimburse the Property Manager for any such expenses paid by the Property Manager on behalf of the Company together with a reasonable rate of interest (a rate no less than the Applicable Federal Rate (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code)) as may be imposed by the Property Manager in its sole discretion (“Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation”); provided, however, that the Company shall not pay or reimburse the Property Manager for the ordinary overhead and administrative expenses of the Property Manager, including, without limitation, all costs and expenses on account of rent, utilities, insurance, office supplies, office equipment, secretarial expenses, stationery, charges for furniture, fixtures and equipment, payroll taxes, travel, entertainment, salaries and bonuses, as well as costs related to ongoing property inspections, guest relations services, cleaning scheduling, inventory management, and vendor and repair scheduling, which in each case shall be borne by the Property Manager.
(c) Each party will bear its own costs relating to the negotiation, preparation, execution and implementation of this Agreement.
8. Services to Other Clients; Certain Affiliated Activities.

Either party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon a material breach of the Agreement by the other party, without penalty or other additional payment, except that the Company shall pay the Property Management Fee of the Property Manager referred to in Section 7, pro-rated to the date of termination, together with all amounts outstanding under any Operating Expenses Reimbursement Obligation. Termination shall not affect accrued rights, and the provisions of Sections 4, 5, 7 (with respect to any accrued but unpaid fees and expenses), 8, 9, 11, 14 and 16 hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
10. Power of Attorney.
