APPOINTMENT OF MANAGER
2.01 Appointment
Lessee hereby appoints and employs Manager as Lessee's exclusive agent
to supervise, direct and control the management and operation of the Inns for
the term provided in Article IV. Manager accepts said appointment and agrees to
manage the Inns during their respective Inn Terms in accordance with the terms
and conditions hereinafter set forth. The performance of all activities by
Manager hereunder shall be for the account of Lessee. Manager may not delegate
its duties hereunder except to Marriott or a Marriott Affiliate which satisfies
the requirements of Section 17.01.A.1 hereof.
2.02 Delegation of Authority
The operations of the Inns shall be under the exclusive supervision and
control of Manager which, except as otherwise specifically provided in the
Agreement, shall be responsible for the proper and efficient operation of the
Inns. Manager shall have discretion and control, free from interference,
interruption or disturbance, in all matters relating to management and operation
of each Inn, including, without limitation, charges for rooms and commercial
space, credit policies, food and beverage services, employment policies,
granting of concessions or leasing of shops and agencies within each Inn,
receipt, holding and disbursement of funds, maintenance of bank accounts,
procurement of Inventories, supplies and services, promotion and publicity and,
generally, all activities necessary for operation of the Inns. Manager shall be
entitled to contract with companies that are Marriott Affiliates (or companies
in which Manager has an ownership interest if such interest is not sufficient to
make such a company a Marriott Affiliate) to provide goods and/or services to
the Inns; provided that the prices and/or terms for
24
such goods and/or services are competitive. Additionally, Manager may contract
for the purchase of goods and services for the Inns with third parties that have
other contractual relationships with Manager and Marriott Affiliates, so long as
the prices and terms are competitive. In determining, pursuant to the foregoing,
whether such prices and/or terms are competitive, they will be compared to the
prices and/or terms which would be available from reputable and qualified
parties for goods and/or services of similar quality, and the goods and/or
services which are being purchased shall be grouped in reasonable categories,
rather than being compared item by item. The prices paid may include overhead
and the allowance of a reasonable return to Marriott Affiliates (or companies in
which Manager has an ownership interest if such interest is not sufficient to
make such a company a Marriott Affiliate). Lessee acknowledges and agrees that,
with respect to any purchases of goods or services pursuant to this Section 2.02
and subject to the foregoing qualification that prices and/or terms are
competitive, Marriott Affiliates may retain as part of the reasonable return
those allowances, credits, rebates, commissions and discounts received with
respect to any such purchases, provided that, such allowances, credits, rebates,
commissions and discounts that are in excess of the reasonable return shall be
paid or credited to Lessee.
2.03 Licenses and Permits
A. Lessee agrees upon request by Manager to sign promptly and
without charge applications for licenses, permits or other instruments necessary
for operation of each Inn, which applications shall be prepared by Manager as
necessary from time to time.
B. Manager shall have the option to terminate the Agreement with
respect to a given Inn, at any time, upon one hundred twenty (120) days' written
notice to Lessee, in the event of a withdrawal or revocation, by any lawful
governing body having jurisdiction thereof, of any
25
license or permit that materially affects the operation of the Inn provided: (i)
such withdrawal or revocation is not the fault of Manager, but rather is due to
circumstances beyond Manager's reasonable control; (ii) all applicable appeals
to higher governmental authorities regarding such withdrawal or revocation have
been exhausted; and (iii) Manager has made every reasonable effort to obtain a
substitute license or permit that would allow for the continued operation of
such Inn as a first-class facility in accordance with Manager's standards for
Residence Inn by Marriott hotels.
2.04 Non-Discrimination
The parties recognize that Manager, Marriott and Marriott Affiliates
either own or manage other hotels and inns. Certain of these hotels and inns,
now or in the future, may be located within the general geographical area of one
or more of the Inns. Manager shall institute reasonable internal controls and
procedures to ensure that no favoritism shall be accorded to such other hotels
or inns on the basis of the ownership thereof and that, at all times during the
term of this Agreement, Manager will operate the various hotels or inns under
its management, including the Inns, in a non-discriminatory manner.

title to the Site of each Inn and such Inn free and clear of any and all liens,
encumbrances or other charges, except as follows:
1. Easements or other encumbrances (other than those described
in subsections 2, 3 and 4 hereof) that do not materially adversely affect the
operation of any Inn by Manager, including, without limitation, any encumbrances
or other defects of title subject to which title was conveyed to Owner;
2. Mortgages, deeds of trust or similar security instruments
or like instruments ("Mortgages") which: (i) contain a provision reasonably
acceptable to Manager's counsel that this Agreement will not be subject to
forfeiture or Termination other than in accordance with the terms hereof,
notwithstanding a default under such Mortgage; and either (ii) secure either (x)
any indebtedness on which all or a portion of the payments constitute Qualifying
Debt Service, or (y) debt incurred for distribution to the partners of Owner; or

not yet due or that are being contested in good faith; and

Lessee shall pay and discharge, or cause Owner to pay and discharge (whichever
is applicable), on or before the due date, any and all installments of principal
and interest due and payable upon any
27
Mortgage described in this Section (including, without limitation, any amounts

ARTICLE IV
TERM
4.01 Term
A. The term of this Agreement shall be from the Effective Date to
the expiration of the Inn Term (as defined in subsection B below) for the last
Inn to which this Agreement applies.
B. With respect to each Inn, the "Inn Term" shall consist of an
"Initial Term" and the "Renewal Term(s)". The "Initial Term" shall begin on the
Effective Date, or such later date as Owner assumed title to such Inn, and shall
continue until December 28, 2012. Each Inn Term may thereafter be renewed by
Manager, at its sole option, (on the same terms and conditions contained herein,
except as set forth in the final sentence of this Section 4.01.B), for one (1)
period of five (5) Fiscal Years followed by each of four (4) successive periods
of ten (10) Fiscal Years each ("Renewal Terms"), provided that (i) Manager
exercises its renewal option with respect to at least eighty percent (80%) of
the Inns that have not been previously terminated hereunder that either (a) meet
the then-current brand standards employed for the System or (b) are subject to
property improvement programs reasonably required by Manager, and (ii) an "event
of default" by Manager has not occurred under Section 15.01 hereof (or, if such
an "event of default" has occurred, that it is being cured in accordance with
the provisions of Section 15.01 or 15.02 hereof). If Manager elects to exercise
such option to renew as to any or all of the Inns, it shall give Owner notice to
that effect at least eighteen (18) months prior to the expiration of the then
current Inn Term with respect to such Inn or Inns. If Manager does not elect to
renew the term of this Agreement, as to one or more of the Inns, on the
expiration of the then current Inn Term with respect to such Inn or Inns,
Manager shall continue to manage such Inn or Inns during the final eighteen (18)
months of their respective Inn Terms, unless, during such eighteen (18)
29
month period, Owner effects a sale of such Inn or Inns or secures a new manager
therefore, in which case the respective Inn Terms of such affected Inns shall be
prematurely terminated, as of the date of such sale or the effective date of
such new management contract so long as Owner has given Manager at least
seventy-five (75) days prior written notice of such sale date. In the event
Manager elects to renew as to some, but not all, of the Inns, the adjustments
described in subsections B through E of Section 18.02 shall be made to this
Agreement. Manager agrees that upon completion of the improvements set forth in
the capital expenditure plan that is current as of the Amendment Date all of the
Inns subject thereto will be deemed to comply with the brand standards generally
employed for the System that are current as of the end of the Initial Term.
4.02 Performance Termination
A. 1. Commencing with the Effective Date and continuing until the
end of Fiscal Year 2003, subject to the provisions of Section 4.02.B and C
below, Lessee shall have the option to terminate this Agreement with respect to
all of the Inns if, with respect to any three (3) consecutive Fiscal Years
during the aforementioned period, the average of the Operating Profit (computed,
for purposes of this Section 4.02.A only, without deducting any Impositions) for
all of the Inns does not equal or exceed eight percent (8%) of the sum total of
(i) the Total Original Cost, and (ii) any Additional Inn Investments previously
made with respect to the Inns that were subject to this Agreement during the
relevant periods.
2. Commencing with Fiscal Year 2004 and continuing until the
end of the term of this Agreement, subject to the provisions of Section 4.02 B
and C below, Lessee shall have the option to terminate this Agreement with
respect to all of the Inns if, with respect to any two (2) consecutive Fiscal
Years during the aforementioned period:
30
(i) The average Operating Profit computed for purposes of this
Section 4.02A only, (without deducting any Impositions) for all of the
Inns does not equal or exceed eight percent (8%) of the sum total of
(i) the Total Original Cost, and (ii) any Additional Inn Investments
previously made with respect to any Inn; and
(ii) The Average Revenue Index for all of the Inns during each
such Fiscal Year is less than the Average Revenue Index Threshold for
such Fiscal Year.
B. Such option to terminate shall be exercised by serving written
notice thereof on Manager no later than sixty (60) days after the receipt by
Lessee of the annual accounting under Section 8.01 hereof for such second or
third consecutive Fiscal Year, as the case may be. Such notice shall state the
basis on which Lessee asserts the right of termination and shall show all
mathematical calculations constituting the basis therefore. If Manager does not
elect to avoid termination pursuant to Section 4.02.C below, this Agreement
shall terminate as of the end of the second full Accounting Period following the
date on which Manager receives Lessee's written notice of its intent to
terminate this Agreement. Lessee's failure to exercise its right to terminate
this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.02.A during any given Fiscal Year shall not
be deemed an estoppel or waiver of Lessee's right to terminate this Agreement as
to subsequent Fiscal Years to which this Section may apply.
C. Upon receipt of Lessee's written notice of termination under
Section 4.02.B, Manager shall have the option, to be exercised within sixty (60)
days after receipt of said notice, to avoid such termination by advancing to
Lessee the amount of any deficiency described in Section 4.02.A. If Manager
exercises such option, then the foregoing Lessee's election to terminate this
Agreement under Section 4.02.A shall be canceled and of no force or effect and
this Agreement shall not terminate. Such cancellation, however, shall not affect
the right of
31
Lessee, as to each subsequent Fiscal Year to which Section 4.02.A applies, to
again elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of Section
4.02.A (which subsequent election shall again be subject to Manager's rights
under this Section 4.02.C). If Manager does not exercise its option to make the
advance permitted by this Section 4.02.C, then this Agreement shall be
terminated as of the date set forth in Section 4.02.B. Amounts advanced by
Manager pursuant to this Section 4.02.C and in connection with a deficiency that
has occurred under 4.02.A.1 shall be recovered by Manager, without interest, in
subsequent Fiscal Years, in the same manner and with the same priority as
Contingent Management Fees (IMF). Amounts advanced by Manager pursuant to this
Section 4.02 C and in connection with a deficiency that has occurred under
Section 4.02 A.2 shall not be recovered by Manager.
4.03 Actions to be Taken on Termination
Upon a Termination of this Agreement with respect to any one or more of
the Inns, the following shall be applicable:
A. Manager shall prepare a final accounting statement with respect
to such Inn or Inns, as more particularly described in Section 8.01 hereof,
dated as of the date of Termination. Within thirty (30) days of the receipt by
Lessee of such final accounting statement, the parties will make whatever cash
adjustments are necessary pursuant to such final statement. The cost of
preparing such final accounting statement shall be a Deduction, unless the
Termination occurs as a result of a default by either party, in which case the
defaulting party shall pay such cost.
B. Manager shall release and transfer to Lessee any of Lessee's
funds which are held or controlled by Manager with respect to such Inn or Inns.
C. Manager shall make available to Lessee such books and records
respecting such Inn or Inns (including those from prior years, subject to
Manager's reasonable records retention
32
policies) as will be needed by Lessee to prepare the accounting statements, in
accordance with the Uniform System of Accounts, for such Inn or Inns for the
year in which the Termination occurs and for any subsequent year.
D. Manager shall (to the extent permitted by law) assign to Lessee
or to the new manager all operating licenses and permits for such Inn or Inns
which have been issued in Manager's name (including liquor and restaurant
licenses, if any); provided that if Manager has expended any of its own funds in
the acquisition of any of such licenses or permits, Lessee shall reimburse
Manager therefore if it has not done so already.
E. Appropriate adjustments shall be made regarding the application
of this Agreement to any remaining Inns, such as, but not limited to, those
adjustments described in Section 18.02 and 7.02.F, and the re-computation of
Actual Debt Service, Operating Profit Objective, Total Original Cost and other
amounts as described in the definitions of those terms in Article I hereof.
F. Various other actions shall be taken, as described in this
Agreement, including, but not limited to, the actions described in Sections
5.05, 6.01, 13.01.C, 9.02 and 11.04.
G. Manager shall peacefully vacate and surrender such Inn or Inns to
Lessee.

one-half paid to Manager are each (separately) equal to the Second Priority
Return (which shall be prorated among the Accounting Periods within any given
Fiscal Year) at which point payments under this subsection E shall cease and any
remaining balance of Operating Profit shall be paid in accordance with
subsections F and G below. The one-half paid to Manager under this subsection E
shall be applied to the payment (in sequence) of the Incentive Management Fee
for the current Fiscal Year and any Contingent Management Fee (IMF).
Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, the amount paid to Manager under
this subsection E shall in no event exceed the Incentive Management Fee for the
current Fiscal Year and any Contingent Management Fees (IMF).
F. Fifth, the remaining balance of Operating Profit (after retention
by the Lessee of an amount equal to the Second Priority Return in accordance
with Subsection E), shall be divided into two portions: (i) seventy-five percent
(75%) of such balance shall be paid to Manager subject to the last sentence of
this subsection F, and (ii) twenty-five percent (25%) shall be retained by
Lessee. The 75% portion paid to Manager under this subsection F shall be applied
to the payment (in sequence) of the balance of the Incentive Management Fee for
the current
35
Fiscal Year and the balance of any Contingent Management Fees (IMF).
Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, the amount paid to Manager under
this subsection F, when added to the amount paid to Manager under subsection E
above, shall in no event exceed the balance of the Incentive Management Fees for
the current Fiscal Year and the balance of any Contingent Management Fees (IMF).
G. Sixth, any remaining balance of Operating Profit shall be
retained by Lessee.
5.03 Application of Net Sales Proceeds and Net Refinancing Proceeds
In the event that Owner, from time to time during the term of this
Agreement, realizes Net Sales Proceeds or Net Refinancing Proceeds and, at that
time, there exist any unpaid (i) Manager Loans, (ii) Incentive Management Fees,
or (iii) Contingent Management Fees (IMF), such Net Sales Proceeds or Net
Refinancing Proceeds, as applicable, shall be retained or paid out by Owner to
the maximum extent possible, in the following order of priority:
A. First, an amount equal to the Owner's Capital Return as of the
date on which such Net Sales Proceeds or Net Refinancing Proceeds are realized
by Owner shall be retained by Owner less the amount of any outstanding Manager
Loans, which amount shall be paid by Owner to Manager out of the amount
otherwise being retained by Owner pursuant to this subsection A;
B. Second, an amount equal to any unpaid Incentive Management Fees
and Contingent Management Fees (IMF) shall be paid in such order of priority to
Manager; and
C. Third, all remaining Net Sales Proceeds and Net Refinancing
Proceeds shall be retained by Owner.
36
5.04 Accounting and Interim Payment
A. Within twenty (20) days after the close of each Accounting
Period, Manager shall submit an interim accounting to Lessee showing Gross
Revenues, Suite Revenues, Deductions, Operating Profit, and applications thereof
with respect to the Inns, and an operating balance sheet for each Inn. Manager
shall transfer with each accounting any interim amounts due Lessee and shall
retain any interim amounts due Manager (as described in Section 5.01 hereof).
Each accounting will be prepared on a consolidated basis and on an individual
Inn basis.
B. Calculations and payments of the Incentive Management Fee, the
Base Management Fee, the Residence Inn System Fee, and applications of Operating
Profit made with respect to each Accounting Period within a Fiscal Year shall be
accounted for cumulatively. Within the Partnership Filing Period, Manager shall
submit an accounting to Lessee, as more fully described in Section 8.01, for the
immediately preceding Fiscal Year, which accounting shall be controlling over
the interim accountings. Any adjustments required by the Fiscal Year accounting
shall be made by cash payments within five (5) business days of the receipt by
Lessee of such final accounting. No adjustment shall be made for any Operating
Loss in a preceding or subsequent Fiscal Year.
C. If the Operating Profit for any Fiscal Year exceeds the Operating
Profit Objective, Manager shall be entitled to an Incentive Management Fee of
twenty-three and a half percent (23.5%) of Operating Profit for that entire
Fiscal Year, and appropriate year-end adjustments shall be made if the interim
cumulative accountings for that Fiscal Year were based on the Incentive
Management Fee being fifteen percent (15%) of Operating Profit. Beginning with
the first Accounting Period in the next succeeding Fiscal Year, and continuing
during all Accounting
37
Periods for the remainder of such next succeeding Fiscal Year, Manager shall be
entitled to perform the above-described interim cumulative accountings on the
assumption that the Incentive Management Fee for that entire Fiscal Year will be
twenty-three and a half percent (23.5%) of Operating Profit; subject, however,
to appropriate year-end adjustments if the final accounting pursuant to Section
8.01 hereof for any such Fiscal Year shows that in fact the Operating Profit
Objective was not exceeded during such Fiscal Year, and that therefore the
Incentive Management Fee for that Fiscal Year is fifteen percent (15%) of
Operating Profit. In all subsequent Fiscal Years, Manager shall be entitled to
perform the above-described interim cumulative accountings on the assumption
that the Incentive Management Fee will be twenty-three and a half percent
(23.5%) of Operating Profit if, and only if, the Incentive Management Fee for
the immediately preceding Fiscal Year was in fact twenty-three and a half
percent (23.5%) of Operating Profit; otherwise, such interim cumulative
accountings will be performed on the assumption that the Incentive Management
Fee will be fifteen percent (15%) of Operating Profit; regardless of which
assumption is used, appropriate year-end adjustments will be made if such
assumption proves to be incorrect. Notwithstanding anything in this subsection C
to the contrary, cumulative Incentive Management Fees shall at no time exceed
twenty percent (20%) of cumulative Operating Profit during the period in which
the Inns are owned by the Owner, provided, however, that for purposes of
calculating such cumulative Incentive Management Fees, there shall not be
counted that portion, if any, of the Incentive Management Fee for Fiscal Years
1988, 1989, 1990 and 1991 that would have been paid for such year but was not
paid due to the limitations of Section 5.02 pursuant to the provisions of the
Original Management Agreement.
5.05 Manager Loans
38
Manager shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time and
from time to time, to advance funds reasonably needed for additional Working
Capital and to fund any shortfalls in the Debt Service Reserve Account in an
amount which when added to the outstanding balance of previous such advances
shall not exceed the average amount of the Deductions for each Accounting Period
during the preceding full thirteen (13) Accounting Periods. Any such advances
shall be deemed a loan by Manager to Lessee in such amount (each, a "Manager
Loan"), shall bear interest at one percent (1%) above the Prime Rate, and shall
be repayable by Lessee or Owner out of, including, without limitation, Operating
Profit in the priority set forth in Section 5.02, and Net Sales Proceeds and Net
Refinancing Proceeds in the priority set forth in Section 5.03, and as required
by Section 18.02.G. Lessee shall evidence any such loan by executing a
promissory note payable to Manager in the principal amount of each such loan and
bearing interest as aforesaid. Each such note shall be payable upon the earlier
of (i) ten (10) years from the date of such advance, or (ii) the sale of
substantially all of the Inns; and, during the term of this Agreement, shall be
payable out of Operating Profit, Net Sales Proceeds and Net Refinancing
Proceeds, and as required by Section 18.02.G.

ARTICLE VI
WORKING CAPITAL AND FIXED ASSET SUPPLIES
6.01 Working Capital
The parties recognize that Owner has, prior to the Amendment Date,
provided to Manager funds for Working Capital. The parties further recognize
that, as of the Amendment Date, the level of Working Capital funds is reasonably
believed to be reasonably sufficient for the operations of each Inn, subject at
all times to seasonal differences and changes in circumstances after the
Amendment Date. Lessee shall from time to time hereafter advance, within five
(5) days after receipt of Manager's written request, any additional funds
necessary to maintain Working Capital at levels reasonably determined by Manager
to be necessary to satisfy the needs of each Inn as its operation may from time
to time require. In the event Lessee fails to advance additional Working Capital
within said five (5) day period, Manager may, in addition to any other rights or
remedies available to it at law or in equity: (i) retain the required amounts
from any portion of Operating Profit otherwise to be retained by Lessee, (ii)
make a Manager Loan to Lessee in accordance with Section 5.05, and (iii)
terminate this Agreement upon not less than thirty (30) days written notice to
Lessee. Funds so advanced for Working Capital shall be utilized by Manager on
behalf of Lessee for the purposes of this Agreement pursuant to cash-management
policies established for the System. Upon Termination with respect to any Inn or
Inns, Manager shall return to Lessee any unused Working Capital, except for
Inventories purchased by Manager pursuant to Section 9.02 and except for the
outstanding balance of all Working Capital advances by Manager made as Manager
Loans.
6.02 Fixed Asset Supplies
40
The parties agree that prior to the Amendment Date, Owner had supplied
Fixed Asset Supplies or funds required therefore for all of the Inns. The
parties further recognize that, as of the Amendment Date, the level of funds for
Fixed Asset Supplies is reasonably believed to be reasonably sufficient for the
operations of each Inn, subject at all times to seasonal differences and changes
in circumstances after the Amendment Date. Lessee shall from time to time
hereafter promptly advance, upon request of Manager, any additional funds
necessary to maintain Fixed Asset Supplies at levels determined by Manager to be
necessary to satisfy the needs of each Inn as its operation may from time to
time require. Fixed Asset Supplies shall remain the property of Lessee
throughout the term of the Agreement except for Fixed Asset Supplies purchased
by Manager pursuant to Section 9.02.

ARTICLE VII
REPAIRS, MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENTS
7.01 Routine Repairs and Maintenance
Manager shall maintain each Inn in good repair and condition and in
conformity with applicable laws and regulations and shall make or cause to be
made such routine maintenance, repairs and minor alterations, the cost of which
can be expensed under generally accepted accounting principles, as it, from time
to time, deems necessary for such purposes. The cost of such maintenance,
repairs and alterations shall be paid from Gross Revenues and shall be treated
as a Deduction in determining Operating Profit.
7.02 Repairs and Equipment Reserve
A. Manager shall establish, on a consolidated basis (or on such other
basis as may be reasonably required by lenders providing financing to Lessee or
Owner with respect to the Inns), an escrow reserve account ("Repairs and
Equipment Reserve" or the "Reserve"), in a bank or similar institution
reasonably acceptable to both Manager and Lessee, to cover the cost of:
1. Replacements and renewals related solely to the FF&E of the
Inns; and
2. Certain routine repairs and maintenance to each Inn's Building
which are normally capitalized under generally accepted accounting principles,
such as exterior and interior repainting; resurfacing building walls, floors,
roofs and parking areas; buying or leasing replacement vehicles; and replacing
folding walls and the like, but which are not major repairs, alterations,
improvements, renewals or replacements to such Building's structure or to its
mechanical, electrical, heating, ventilating, air conditioning, plumbing or
vertical transportation systems, the cost of which are to be paid by Lessee
under Section 7.03, rather than from the Reserve.
42
B. Each Fiscal Year, subject to the provisions of subsection E below,
Manager shall transfer into the Reserve an amount equal to five percent (5%) of
Gross Revenues. Transfers into the Reserve shall be made at the time of each
interim accounting described in Section 5.04.A hereof. Commencing with Fiscal
Year 2001, Manager shall have the right, but not the obligation, to increase the
amount it transfers into the Reserve to any amount greater than five percent
(5%) but not exceeding six percent (6%) of Gross Revenues for such Fiscal Year
and successive Fiscal Year thereafter if, based upon a review of Replacement
FF&E requirements for the Inns, such increase is necessary in Manager's
reasonable judgment to fund future Replacement FF&E that would be necessary to
maintain the Inns in accordance with Manager's standards for Residence Inns. Any
amounts held in the Reserve may be applied, as between the Inns, without regard
to the source of such amounts, provided that such application satisfies the
requirements of this Article VII. All amounts transferred to the Reserve shall
be deducted from Gross Revenues in determining Operating Profit and shall be
deposited in the special Reserve account described in Section 7.02.A hereof.
C. Manager shall from time to time make such (1) replacements and
renewals to the FF&E of the Inns, and (2) repairs to each Inn Building of the
nature described in Section 7.02.A.2, as it deems necessary, up to the balance
in the Repairs and Equipment Reserve. No expenditures will be made in excess of
said balance without the approval of Lessee. Withdrawals from the Reserve shall
be made only by representatives of Manager whose signatures have been
authorized. Additionally, with respect to renovation projects in excess of
$500,000 at an Inn, Lessee shall have the right to designate a contractor that
Manager must allow to bid on such project and whose bid Manager must consider in
good faith in selecting the contractor. At the end of each Fiscal Year, any
amounts remaining in the Repairs and Equipment
43
Reserve shall be carried forward to the next Fiscal Year. Proceeds from the sale
of FF&E no longer necessary to the operation of each Inn shall be added to the
Reserve. The Reserve will be kept in an interest-bearing account, and any
interest which accrues thereon shall be retained in the Reserve. Neither (i)
proceeds from the disposition of FF&E, nor (ii) interest which accrues on
amounts held in the Reserve, shall (a) result in any reduction in the required
contributions to the Reserve set forth in subsection B above, nor (b) be
included in Gross Revenues. Manager, in its reasonable discretion, and subject
to the exceptions stated below, shall decide whether to purchase or lease any
Replacement FF&E or motor vehicles used in transporting Inn guests. If Manager
enters into any lease of Replacement FF&E or motor vehicles used in transporting
Inn guests, it shall do so on Lessee's behalf and as Lessee's agent; or, upon
Manager's recommendation and request, Lessee shall directly enter into such
leases. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Manager shall not and shall not require
Lessee to enter into any lease other than (i) Telephone Leases, (ii) Computer
Leases, (iii) TV System Leases, (iv) FF&E Leases, and (v) leases of vehicles
used in transporting Inn guests. With respect to FF&E Leases only, Manager shall
be required to obtain Lessee's prior written approval before entering into or
requesting that Lessee enter into any FF&E Lease, if (a) the fair market value
of the FF&E with respect to all FF&E Leases relating to each Inn (including
those being entered into) would exceed at any time Two Hundred Thousand Dollars
($200,000) (as increased each Fiscal Year after Fiscal Year 1996 by the CPI
Percentage) in respect of such Inn, (b) the FF&E to be covered by such FF&E
Lease is FF&E that is not customarily leased in the hotel industry in the United
States, or (c) such FF&E Lease is on payment terms (including the amounts and
schedule of payments) that would be materially more favorable to the lessor
thereof than payment terms customary in the hotel industry in the United States
for similar leases. With respect to TV System Leases only,
44
Manager shall be required to obtain Lessee's prior written approval before
entering into or requesting the Lessee enter into any TV System Lease, if (a)
the equipment to be covered by such TV System Lease is not customarily leased in
the hotel industry in the United States or (b) such TV System Lease is on
payment terms (including the amounts and schedule of payments) that would be
materially more favorable to the lessor thereof than payment terms customary in
the hotel industry in the United States for similar leases. In cases described
in the preceding two sentences, Lessee's approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to approve such
leasing proposal shall justify Lessee in withholding its approval.
D. Manager shall prepare an estimate ("Repairs and Equipment Estimate") of
the expenditures necessary for (1) replacements and renewals to the FF&E of the
Inns, and (2) repairs to each Inn building of the nature described in Section
7.02.A.2, during the ensuing Fiscal Year and shall submit such Repairs and
Equipment Estimate to Lessee at the same time it submits the Annual Operating
Projection described in Section 8.03. Lessee shall have the right to approve the
Repairs and Equipment Estimate with respect to individual expenditures of
$10,000 or more. With respect to individual expenditures of less than $10,000,
Lessee shall have the right to approve the aggregate amount of all such
expenditures on an Inn by Inn basis. Disputes regarding the Repairs and
Equipment Estimate will be resolved by the Expert in accordance with the
provisions of Section 19.10. The Repairs and Equipment Estimate shall be
prepared on a consolidating basis showing proposed expenditures as to each Inn.
It shall also indicate the time schedule for making such replacements and
renewals.
E. The percentage contributions for the Repairs and Equipment Reserve
described in Section 7.02.B are estimates based upon Manager's prior experience.
As each Inn ages, these
45
percentages either (i) may not be sufficient to keep the Reserve at the levels
necessary to make the replacements and renewals to the FF&E of such Inn, or to
make the repairs to such Inn building of the nature described in Section
7.02.A.2, which are required to maintain such inn as a first-class facility in
accordance with Manager's standards for Residence Inns, or (ii) may be in excess
of those amounts necessary to maintain such Inn as a first-class facility in
accordance with Manager's standards for Residence Inns. If the Manager
reasonably determines that the percentages contained in Section 7.02.B are in
excess of the amounts sufficient to maintain the Inns as first-class facilities
in accordance with Manager's standards for Residence Inns, the Manager may
reduce the percentages.
If the Repairs and Equipment Estimate prepared in good faith by Manager
exceeds the available funds in the Repairs and Equipment Reserve, Lessee will:
1. Agree to increase the annual percentage in Section 7.02.B to
provide the additional funds required, or
2. Arrange to obtain outside financing for the additional funds
required, in which event the principal and interest payments on such financing
shall constitute Deductions in determining Operating Profit, or
3. Provide the additional funds required; in which case, such amounts
(plus interest at the Prime Rate plus one percent (1%) per annum) shall be
repaid to Lessee from Gross Revenues in equal installments over the period of
the next sixty-five (65) Accounting Periods, and such installment repayments
shall be Deductions.
A failure or refusal by Lessee to agree in writing to either 1, 2 or 3
above within a sixty (60) day period after Manager's request therefore shall
entitle Manager, within sixty (60) days after such failure or refusal, to notify
Lessee that it will terminate this Agreement, as to those
46
Inns as to which agreement was not reached, as of a date six (6) months after
the date of Manager's notice. If Manager does not so notify Lessee, it shall
continue to manage the Inns in question, as provided under this Agreement,
without the aforesaid increase in the percentage contribution to the Reserve. If
Lessee agrees to obtain outside financing or provide additional funding as
described in Subsection 2 or 3 above but fails to deposit such funds into the
Reserve within sixty (60) days after such agreement, then, in addition to any
other remedies to which it is entitled, Manager shall be entitled to (i) notify
Lessee that it will terminate this Agreement as to those Inns for which funds
were not deposited as of a date three (3) months after the date of Manager's
notice, or (ii) continue to manage the Inn or Inns without making such
alterations, improvements, renewals, or replacements.
F. Upon Termination of this Agreement with respect to any one or more of
the Inns, whether pursuant to Section 7.02.E above or pursuant to other
provisions of this Agreement, that portion of the Reserve properly allocable to
said Inn or Inns shall be released from the Reserve and paid to Lessee unless
Manager will continue operating some or all of the Inns being terminated from
this Management Agreement, in which case Manager shall transfer all amounts held
in the Reserve properly allocable to the Inns Manager will continue operating to
one or more new accounts for the benefit of the new owner or owners of such
Inns.
7.03 Building Alterations, Improvements, Renewals, and Replacements
A. Manager shall prepare an annual estimate of the expenses necessary
for major repairs, alterations, improvements, renewals and replacements (which
repairs, alterations, improvements, renewals and replacements are not among
those referred to in Section 7.02.A.2) to the structural, mechanical,
electrical, heating, ventilating, air conditioning, plumbing or vertical
transportation elements of each of the Buildings ("Building Estimate") and shall
submit
47
such Building Estimate to Lessee for its approval at the same time the Annual
Operating Projection is submitted. The Building Estimate shall be prepared on a
consolidating basis showing proposed expenditures as to each Inn. Additionally,
with respect to major repairs, alterations, improvements, renewals, or
replacements in excess of $500,000 at an Inn, Lessee shall have the right to
designate a contractor that Manager must allow to bid on such project and whose
bid Manager must consider in good faith in selecting the contractor. Manager
shall not make any expenditures for such purposes without the prior written
consent of Lessee. However, if major repairs, alterations, improvements,
renewals or replacements to any Inn are required by reason of any law,
ordinance, regulation or order of a competent government authority, or are
otherwise required for the continued safe and orderly operation of such Inn,
Manager shall immediately give Lessee notice thereof and shall be authorized
(but not obligated) to take appropriate remedial action without such approval if
Lessee does not act; provided that Manager shall in no event act without
obtaining Lessee's prior consent if the cost of such remedial action exceeds,
for any given Inn, four percent (4%) of such Inn's annual Gross Revenues for the
immediately preceding full Fiscal Year. Lessee shall bear the cost of all such
alterations, improvements, renewals or replacements by either:
1. Providing outside financing for the additional funds required, in
which event the principal and interest payments on such financing shall
constitute Qualifying Debt Service, or
2. Providing the additional funds required, which amounts shall be
treated as Additional Inn Investments hereunder.
B. If Lessee does not approve the Building Estimate as to one or more or
all of the Inns within sixty (60) days after it has been submitted, Manager may,
within sixty (60) days after
48
the end of said sixty-day period, notify Lessee that it will terminate this
Agreement as to those Inns as to which agreement was not reached as of a date
six (6) months after the date of Manager's notice. If Manager does not so notify
Lessee, it shall continue to manage the Inns in question, as provided under this
Agreement, without making any expenditures in the Building Estimate that were
not approved. If Lessee approves the Building Estimate as to one or more or all
of the Inns but fails to deliver funds required by such Building Estimate as to
one or more Inns within sixty (60) days after such approval, then Manager may,
at its option and in addition to any other remedies available to it, (i) notify
Lessee that it will terminate this Agreement as to those Inns for which funds
were not deposited as of a date three (3) months after the date of Manager's
notice, (ii) use funds from the Reserve to pay for the expenditures in the
approved Building Estimate, or (iii) continue to manage the Inn or Inns without
making such alterations, improvements, renewals or replacements.
7.04 Liens
Manager and Lessee shall use their best efforts to prevent any liens from
being filed against any Inn which arise from any maintenance, repairs,
alterations, improvements, renewals or replacements in or to such Inn. Manager
and Lessee shall cooperate fully in obtaining the release of any such liens, and
the cost thereof, if the lien was not occasioned by the fault of either party,
shall be treated the same as the cost of the matter to which it relates. If the
lien arises as a result of the fault of either party, then the party at fault
shall bear the cost of obtaining the lien release.
7.05 Ownership of Replacements
All repairs, alterations, improvements, renewals or replacements made
pursuant to Article VII, and all amounts kept in the Reserve, shall be the
property of Lessee.
49
7.06 Design Specifications
Subject to brand design standards generally employed for the System,
with respect to any capital expenditure programs submitted to Lessee by Manager,
Lessee shall have the right to choose in its reasonable discretion one prototype
package for such capital expenditure program from the variety of standard
prototype packages available to complete such program. With respect to custom
design packages that fall outside the scope of the then-current brand design
standards and prototype packages generally employed for the System, Lessee and
Manager must mutually agree upon the details of such custom design packages,
including design specifications.

ARTICLE VIII
BOOKKEEPING AND BANK ACCOUNTS
8.01 Books and Records
A. Books of control and account shall be kept on the accrual basis and
in material respects in accordance with the Uniform System of Accounts, with the
exceptions provided in the Agreement. Lessee may at reasonable intervals during
Manager's normal business hours examine such records. Within the Partnership
Filing Period, Manager shall furnish Lessee a statement in reasonable detail
summarizing the operations of the Inns for the immediately preceding Fiscal Year
and a certificate of Manager's chief accounting officer certifying that such
year-end statement is true and correct. The parties shall, within five (5)
business days after the receipt of such statement, make any adjustments, by cash
payment, in the amounts paid or retained for such Fiscal Year as are needed
because of the final figures set forth in such statement. If Lessee desires, at
its own expense, to audit such statement and supporting records, Lessee shall
begin such audit within ninety (90) days following its receipt of such statement
and shall complete such audit within ninety (90) days after commencement of the
audit. If Lessee does not make such an audit, then such statement shall be
deemed to be conclusively accepted by Lessee as being correct, and Lessee shall
have no right thereafter, except in the event of fraud by Manager, to question
or examine the same. If any audit by Lessee discloses an understatement of any
amounts due Lessee, Manager shall promptly pay Lessee such amounts found to be
due, plus interest thereon (at the Prime Rate plus one percent (1%) per annum)
from the date such amounts should originally have been paid. If, however, the
audit discloses that Manager has not received any amounts due it, Lessee shall
pay Manager such amounts, plus interest thereon (at the Prime Rate plus one
percent (1%) per annum) from the date such amounts should originally
51
have been paid. Any dispute concerning the correctness of an audit, which
dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days after such dispute is raised in
writing, shall be settled by an Expert, in accordance with Section 19.11.
B. If Lessee's audit discloses an error in the total payment of amounts
due Lessee, for any Fiscal Year so audited, that is in excess of five percent
(5%), Manager shall pay for the cost of Lessee's audit. In addition, in such
event, Lessee may audit the statements of Inn operations and supporting records
for the two (2) preceding Fiscal Years. Lessee shall bear the cost of such
audit, except for the cost thereof relating to any Fiscal Year in which the
audit discloses an error in excess of five percent (5%) in the payment of
amounts due Lessee.
C. All statements shall be prepared on a consolidated basis and on an
individual Inn basis; however, to the extent Manager prepares them for its own
internal purposes, Manager shall, on Lessee's written request, furnish Lessee
with copies of unaudited statements prepared for each Inn separately.
8.02 Accounts, Expenditures
A. All funds derived from operation of the Inns shall be deposited by
Manager in a bank account in a bank designated by Manager. Withdrawals from said
accounts shall be made only by representatives of Manager whose signatures have
been authorized. Reasonable xxxxx cash funds shall be maintained at each Inn.
B. All payments made by Manager hereunder shall be made from authorized
bank accounts, xxxxx cash funds, or from Working Capital provided pursuant to
Section 6.01. Manager shall not be required to make any advance or payment to or
for the account of Lessee except out of such funds, and Manager shall not be
obligated to incur any liability or obligation for Lessee's account without
assurances that necessary funds for the discharge thereof will be
52
provided by Lessee. Debts and liabilities incurred by Manager as a result of its
operation and management of the Inns pursuant to the terms hereof, whether
asserted before or after the Termination of this Agreement, will be paid by
Lessee to the extent funds are not available for that purpose from the operation
of the Inns.
8.03 Annual Operating Projection
A. Manager shall submit to Lessee for its review, thirty (30) days prior
to the beginning of each Fiscal Year, an "Annual Operating Projection." Manager
will consider in good faith suggestions made by Lessee with respect to the
Annual Operating Projection and make modifications thereto that Manager deems
appropriate. Such projection shall project, on a consolidated basis, and on an
individual Inn basis, the estimated Gross Revenues, average daily suite rates,
average occupancy, departmental profits, Deductions, and Operating Profit for
the forthcoming Fiscal Year for the Inns, taking into account each Inn's market
area. Manager shall use its best efforts to adhere to the Annual Operating
Projection. It is understood, however, that the Annual Operating Projection is
an estimate only and that unforeseen circumstances such as, but not limited to,
the costs of labor, material, services and supplies, casualty, operation of law,
or economic and market conditions may make adherence to the Annual Operating
Projection impracticable, and Manager shall be entitled to depart therefrom due
to causes of the foregoing nature.
B. If Owner or Lessee intends to sell or refinance any one or more of
the Inns, Manager agrees to cooperate in providing information to facilitate
such sale or refinancing.
8.04 Operating Losses; Credit
A. To the extent there is an Operating Loss for any Accounting Period,
additional funds in the amount of any such deficiency shall be provided by
Lessee within twenty (20) days
53
after Manager has given written notice to Lessee of such Operating Loss. If
Manager elects not to so notify Lessee or if Lessee does not so fund such
deficiency on Manager's request (but, in such latter case, without affecting
Manager's other remedies under this Agreement), Manager shall have the right to
withhold an amount equal to such deficiency from future disbursements of funds
otherwise due to Lessee.
B. In no event shall either party borrow money in the name of or pledge
the credit of the other.

ARTICLE IX
TRADEMARKS, TRADE NAMES AND SERVICE MARKS
9.01 Trademarks, Trade Names and Service Marks
A. During the term of the Agreement, each Inn shall be known as a
"Residence Inn" or "Residence Inn by Marriott" or "Marriott Residence Inn", with
such additional identification as may be necessary to provide local
identification. If the name of the "Residence Inn by Marriott" System is
changed, Manager will change the name of each Inn to conform thereto. The names
"Marriott," "Residence Inn," "Residence Inn by Marriott" and "Marriott Residence
Inn" (each of the foregoing names, together with any combination thereof, shall
herein be collectively referred to as the "Trade Names") when used alone or in
connection with another word or words, and the Marriott or Residence Inn
trademarks, service marks, other trade names, symbols, logos and designs shall
in all events remain the exclusive property of Manager or Marriott, and nothing
contained herein shall confer on Lessee the right to use any of the Trade Names,
or the Marriott or Residence Inn trademarks, service marks, other trade names,
symbols, logos or designs otherwise than in strict accordance with the terms of
this Agreement. Except as provided in Section 9.02, upon Termination with
respect to an Inn, any use of or right to use any of the Trade Names, or any of
the Marriott or Residence Inn trademarks, service marks, other trade names,
symbols, logos or designs by Lessee shall cease forthwith with respect to such
Inn and Lessee shall promptly remove from such Inn any signs or similar items
which contain any of said Trade Names, trademarks, service marks, other trade
names, symbols, logos or designs. If Lessee has not removed such signs or
similar items promptly upon Termination, Manager shall have the right to remain
at such Inn as long as is necessary for it to do so.
55
B. Included under the terms of this Section are all trademarks, service
marks, trade names, symbols, logos or designs used in conjunction with the Inns,
including but not limited to restaurant names, lounge names, etc., whether or
not the marks contain the "Marriott" name or the "Residence Inn" name. The right
to use such trademarks, service marks, trade names, symbols, logos or designs
belongs exclusively to Manager or Marriott, and the use thereof inures to the
benefit of Manager or Marriott whether or not the same are registered and
regardless of the source of the same.
9.02 Purchase of Inventories and Fixed Asset Supplies
Upon Termination, either of this entire Agreement or with respect to a
given Inn, Manager shall have the option, to be exercised within thirty (30)
days after Termination, to purchase, at their then book value, any items of such
Inn's Inventories and Fixed Asset Supplies as may be marked with any Trade Name,
or any Marriott or Residence Inn trademark, other trade name, symbol, logo or
design. In the event Manager does not exercise such option, Lessee agrees that
it will use any such items not so purchased exclusively in connection with such
Inn (or one of the other Inns) until they are consumed.
9.03 Computer Software
A. Any computer software (including upgrades and replacements) at any of
the Inns that is owned by Manager, Marriott, a Marriott Affiliate, or the
licensor of any of them is proprietary to its owner or licensor, as the case may
be, and shall in all events remain the exclusive property of such owner or
licensor, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall confer on Lessee the
right to use any of such software with the exception of any computer software at
the Inns that is commercially available to the public.
56
B. Upon Termination of this Agreement with respect to any given Inn or
all Inns, Manager shall have the right to remove from each Inn with respect to
which this Agreement has been terminated, at its expense within a reasonable
time thereafter and without compensation to Lessee, the RICHIE System software
and any other computer software (including upgrades and replacements), owned by
Manager, Marriott, any Marriott Affiliate or the licensor of any of them, with
the exception of any computer software at the Inns that is commercially
available to the public. Furthermore, upon any such Termination, Manager shall
be entitled to remove from any Inn with respect to which this Agreement has been
terminated, at its expense within a reasonable time thereafter and without
compensation to Lessee, any computer equipment utilized as part of a centralized
reservation system or owned by a party other than Lessee. In the event of any
such removal hereunder, Manager shall provide to Lessee, in a form reasonably
satisfactory to Lessee and at Lessee's expense, all information and data with
respect to the Inns stored in such computer software, provided that, to the
extent such information or data is proprietary or confidential to Marriott, such
information or data shall not be provided to Lessee.
9.04 Breach of Covenant
Manager, Marriott and/or its Affiliates shall be entitled, in case of any
breach of the covenants of Article IX by Lessee or others claiming through it,
to injunctive relief and to any other right or remedy available at law. Article
IX shall survive Termination.

MANAGEMENT AND USE OF THE INNS
10.01 Management of the Inns
Manager shall manage each Inn under standards comparable to those
prevailing in other inns in the "Residence Inn by Marriott" System, including
all activities in connection therewith which are customary and usual to such an
operation.
10.02 Chain Services
Manager shall, commencing with the Effective Date and thereafter during the
term of this Agreement, cause to be furnished to each Inn certain services
("Chain Services") which are furnished generally on a central or regional basis
to other inns in the "Residence Inn by Marriott" System which are managed by
Manager, Marriott, or any Marriott Affiliate, and which benefit each Inn as a
participant in such System. Chain Services shall include: (i) divisional
executive management; (ii) sales office services; the development of programs
for training and manpower development; and computer payroll and accounting
services; and (iii) such additional central and regional services as may from
time to time be furnished for the benefit of inns in the "Residence Inn by
Marriott" System or in substitution for services now performed at individual
inns which may be more efficiently performed on a group basis. The services
described in this Section 10.02 shall not include services which are described
in the definitions of "Base Management Fee" and "Residence Inn System Fee."
Costs and expenses incurred in the providing of such services shall be allocated
on a fair and equitable basis, on a "per-suite" basis, among all "Residence Inn
by Marriott" inns managed by Manager in the United States receiving the same. To
the extent that services described in this Section 10.02 have been funded
through the
58
Marketing Fund, there will be no allocation of the costs and expenses thereof
under this Section 10.02.
10.03 Lessee's Right to Inspect
Lessee or its agents shall have access to any Inn at any and all reasonable
times for the purpose of protecting the same against fire or other casualty,
prevention of damage to the Inn, inspection, making repairs, or showing such Inn
to prospective purchasers, tenants or mortgagees.

A. Manager shall, commencing with the Effective Date and for the
duration of each Inn Term, procure and maintain, using funds deducted from Gross
Revenues in determining Operating Profit, with insurance companies approved by
Lessee, a minimum of the following insurance:
1. Insurance on each Inn (including contents) against loss or
damage by all perils included in "all risk" (as such term is commonly used in
the insurance industry) coverage, in an amount not less than one hundred percent
(100%) of the replacement cost thereof, except that if such 100% replacement
cost coverage is not available on reasonable rates and terms, then such
insurance shall be in an amount not less than ninety percent (90%) of the
replacement cost thereof (less excavation and foundation costs), of each Inn;
2. Earthquake (except in California) and flood insurance, if
available on reasonable rates and terms, to be determined at the discretion of
Manager;
3. Insurance against loss or damage from explosion of boilers,
pressure vessels, pressure pipes and sprinklers, to the extent applicable,
installed in each Inn;
4. Business interruption insurance covering loss of profits and
necessary continuing expenses for interruptions caused by any occurrence covered
by the insurance referred to in Section 11.01.A.1, 2 and 3, for a period of not
less than one (1) year after the occurrence, of a type and in amounts and with
such deductible limits as are generally established by Manager at the other inns
it owns or manages under the Marriott Residence Inn name in the United States.
60
5. Such other insurance for protection against claims, liabilities
and losses arising out of or connected with the operation of the Inns as
reasonably required by Owner's lenders holding First Mortgages on the Inns.
B. All policies of insurance required under Section 11.01. A. 1, 2, 3
and 4 shall insure Owner, Lessee, Manager, and the holder of the first mortgage
indebtedness with respect to the Inns (a "First Mortgage"); and any losses
thereunder shall be payable to the parties as and to the extent their respective
interests, if any, may appear.
C. Any Mortgage on any Inn shall contain provisions to the effect that
proceeds of the insurance policies required to be carried under Section 11.01
shall be available for repair and restoration of such Inn.
11.02 Operational Insurance
Manager shall, commencing with the Effective Date and for the duration of
each Inn Term, procure and maintain, using funds deducted from Gross Revenues in
determining Operating Profit, with insurance companies approved by Lessee the
following insurance:
A. Workers' compensation and employer's liability insurance as may be
required under applicable laws covering all of Manager's employees at each Inn,
with such deductible limits or self-insured retentions as are generally
established by Manager at the other inns it owns or manages under the "Residence
Inn by Marriott" name in the United States;
B. Fidelity bonds, with reasonable limits and deductibles to be
determined by Manager, covering its employees in job classifications normally
bonded in the other inns it owns or manages under the "Residence Inn by
Marriott" name in the United States or as otherwise required by law, and
comprehensive crime insurance to the extent Manager and Lessee mutually agree it
is necessary for each Inn;
61
C. Comprehensive general public liability insurance against claims for
personal injury, death or property damage occurring on, in, or about each Inn,
and automobile insurance on vehicles operated in conjunction with such Inn, with
a combined single limit of not less than Twenty-five Million Dollars
($25,000,000) for each occurrence for personal injury, death and property
damage, with such deductible limits or self-insured retentions as are generally
established by Manager at the other inns it owns or manages under the "Residence
Inn by Marriott" name in the United States; if Manager feels in its reasonable
discretion that higher limits are appropriate, it will obtain them; and
D. Such other insurance in amounts as Manager in its reasonable
judgment deems advisable for protection against claims, liabilities and losses
arising out of or connected with the operation of the Inns or as reasonably
required by Owner's lenders holding First Mortgages on the Inns.
11.03 Coverage
All insurance described in Sections 11.01 and 11.02 may be obtained by
Manager by endorsement or equivalent means under its or Marriott's blanket
insurance policies, provided that such blanket policies substantially fulfill
the requirements specified herein. Deductible limits and self-insured retentions
shall be as provided in the blanket policies covering the inns owned or managed
by Manager under the "Residence Inn by Marriott" name in the United States. In
addition, Manager may self-insure workers' compensation insurance (if it has
legally qualified to do so) or otherwise retain such risks or portions thereof
as it does with respect to other inns it owns or manages under the "Residence
Inn by Marriott" name in the United States.
11.04 Cost and Expense
62
Insurance premiums and any costs or expenses with respect to the
insurance described in this Article XI shall be Deductions in determining
Operating Profit. Premiums on policies for more than one year shall be charged
pro rata against Gross Revenues over the period of the policies. The expenses
incurred in maintaining Manager's self-insurance program shall be charged on an
equitable basis to the inns participating in such programs. Any reserves,
losses, costs, damages or expenses which are uninsured, or fall within
deductible limits, shall be treated as a cost of insurance and shall be
Deductions in determining Operating Profit. Upon Termination, either of this
entire Agreement or with respect to a given Inn, an escrow fund in an amount
reasonably acceptable to Manager (which amount, when funded, shall thereafter be
final as between Lessee and Manager) shall be established from Gross Revenues
(or, if Gross Revenues are not sufficient, with funds provided by Lessee) to
cover the amount of any deductible limits and all other costs which will
eventually have to be paid by Manager with respect to pending or contingent
claims, including those which arise after Termination for causes arising during
the term of the Agreement.
11.05 Lessee Provided Coverage
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article XI,
Lessee may, at its option, with sixty (60) days advance written notice to
Manager, procure the insurance coverage required under Section 11.01 hereof.
Premiums for such coverage shall be treated as a Deduction; provided, that if
the cost of such insurance and the related deductibles procured by Lessee
exceeds the cost of Manager's insurance for comparable coverage, all excess
costs, deductibles and coverages shall be the sole responsibility of Lessee and
shall not be a Deduction. If Lessee exercises its option to procure such
insurance, Lessee hereby waives its rights of recovery from Manager and its
affiliates, directors, officers and employees for loss or damage to
63
an Inn, and any resultant interruption of business, to the extent covered by the
insurance provided herein.
11.06 Policies and Endorsements
A. Where permitted, all insurance provided under Article 11.01 and
11.02C shall name Lessee, Owner and any lender or mortgagee designated by Owner
as additional insureds or mortgagee as applicable. Manager shall deliver to such
additional insureds certificates of insurance with respect to all policies so
procured, including existing, additional and renewal policies and, in the case
of insurance about to expire, shall deliver certificates of insurance with
respect to the renewal policies prior to the respective dates of expiration.
B. All policies of insurance provided for under Article XI shall, to
the extent obtainable, have attached thereto an endorsement that such policy
shall not be cancelled or materially changed without at least thirty (30) days'
prior written notice to the certificate holder. Each property insurance policy
maintained in accordance with Article XI shall contain a specific waiver of
subrogation with respect to property claims.

ARTICLE XII
TAXES
12.01 Real Estate and Personal Property Taxes
All real estate and personal property taxes, levies, assessments and
similar charges on or relating to each Inn ("Impositions") during each Inn Term
shall be paid by Manager from Gross Revenues, before any fine, penalty, or
interest is added thereto or lien placed upon any Inn or upon the Agreement,
unless payment thereof is in good faith being contested and enforcement thereof
is stayed. Any such payments shall be a Deduction in determining Operating
Profit. Lessee shall, within five (5) days of receipt, furnish Manager with
copies of official tax bills and assessments which it may receive with respect
to any of the Inns. Either Owner, Lessee or Manager (in which case Lessee agrees
to sign, or cause Owner to sign, the required applications and otherwise
cooperate with Manager in expediting the matter) may initiate proceedings to
contest any Imposition, and all reasonable costs of any such contest shall be
paid from Gross Revenues and shall be a Deduction in determining Operating
Profit.

INN EMPLOYEES
13.01 Employees
A. All personnel employed at each Inn shall at all times be the
employees of Manager. Manager shall have absolute discretion to hire, promote,
supervise, direct and train all employees at each Inn, to fix their compensation
and, generally, establish and maintain all policies relating to employment.
Manager shall use best efforts to notify Lessee as soon as practical of any
anticipated changes in the persons who occupy the positions of General Manager
and Director of Sales and Marketing for any Inn; provided, however, that the
parties acknowledge and agree that any failure by Manager to provide such notice
shall neither constitute an "event of default" under this Agreement nor
constitute a material breach of this Agreement.
B. Manager shall decide whom, if any, of the employees of each Inn
shall reside at such Inn, and shall be permitted to provide free accommodations
and amenities to its employees and representatives living at or visiting each
Inn in connection with its management or operation. No person shall otherwise be
given gratuitous accommodations or services without prior joint approval of
Lessee and Manager except in accordance with usual practices of the hotel and
travel industry.
C. At Termination with respect to a given Inn, other than a
Termination (i) by reason of a default of Manager hereunder or (ii) at Manager's
option (except as a result of a default by Lessee), provided that the expiration
of a given Inn Term under Section 4.01 shall not be deemed "at Manager's option"
for purposes of this Section 13.01, an escrow fund shall be established from
Gross Revenues (or, if Gross Revenues are not sufficient, with funds provided by
Lessee)
66
to reimburse Manager for all costs and expenses incurred by Manager in
terminating its employees at the affected Inn, such as severance pay,
unemployment compensation and other employee liability costs arising out of the
termination of employment of Manager's employees at such Inn.
D. Neither Lessee nor Manager shall effect a Termination of this
Agreement without allowing sufficient time for Manager to comply with notice
requirements of federal and state laws and regulations regarding the closing of
a business or termination of employees, and Manager shall comply with such
notice requirements; provided, however, that this provision shall not be
applicable if Lessee or its new hotel manager hires a sufficient number of Inn
employees to avoid Manager incurring liability under such notice requirements in
connection with such termination, and Lessee (or its permitted successors and
assigns, if applicable), shall indemnify, defend and hold Manager, Marriott
Affiliates and each of their officers, directors, shareholders, agents and
assigns, harmless from all costs, expenses, damages, penalties, actions, claims,
obligations and liabilities, including reasonable attorneys' fees, to the extent
arising or resulting from any such liability under federal and state laws and
regulations (including, but not limited to the WARN Act ) regarding the closing
of a business or termination of employees.

ARTICLE XIV
DAMAGE, CONDEMNATION AND FORCE MAJEURE
14.01 Damage and Repair
A. If, during the term hereof, any of the Inns is damaged or
destroyed by fire, casualty or other cause, Lessee shall, at its cost and
expense and with all reasonable diligence, repair or replace the damaged or
destroyed portion of such Inn to the same condition as existed previously. To
the extent available, proceeds from the insurance described in Section 11.01 or
Section 11.05, as the case may be, shall be applied to such repairs or
replacements. However, Lessee shall not be obligated to so repair or replace the
damaged or destroyed portion of such Inn if one or more of the following is
true: (i) the Inn is so badly damaged or destroyed that it cannot reasonably be
repaired or replaced within one (1) year of the date on which the construction
work relating to the repair and/or replacement would begin; (ii) with respect to
insurance obtained by Manager under Section 11.01, the proceeds of such
insurance available for such repair or replacement are less than ninety percent
(90%) of the estimated repair and replacement costs; or (iii) the remainder of
the Inn Term with respect to such Inn is less than ten (10) years, and Manager
fails to agree to extend such Inn Term to a date which is at least ten (10)
years after the estimated date of the completion of such repair and/or
replacement. If Lessee has elected to obtain insurance under Section 11.05,
Lessee shall be obligated to so repair or replace the damaged or destroyed
portion of such Inn if the insurance proceeds that would have been available for
such repair or replacement had the insurance been procured by Manager under
Section 11.01, are greater than or equal to ninety percent (90%) of the
estimated repair and replacement costs. If Lessee elects not to repair or
replace said damaged portion of such Inn for
68
one or more of the foregoing reasons, it shall so notify Manager by written
notice within ninety (90) days after the date of the casualty.
B. In the event damage or destruction to any Inn from any cause
materially and adversely affects the operation of such Inn and (i) Lessee fails
to promptly commence and complete the repairing, rebuilding or replacement of
the same so that such Inn shall be substantially the same as it was prior to
such damage or destruction, or (ii) Lessee notifies Manager, pursuant to the
provisions of Section 14.01.A above, that Lessee will not repair or replace such
damage for one or more of the reasons set forth in Section 14.01.A, Manager may,
at its option, terminate the Agreement with respect to such Inn upon sixty (60)
days' written notice.
14.02 Condemnation
A. In the event all or substantially all of any Inn shall be taken in any
eminent domain, condemnation, compulsory acquisition, or similar proceeding by
any competent authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, or in the
event a portion of such Inn shall be so taken, but the result is that it is
unreasonable to continue to operate such Inn, this Agreement shall terminate
with respect to such Inn. Owner, Lessee and Manager shall each have the right to
initiate such proceedings as they deem advisable to recover any damages to which
they may be entitled.
B. In the event a portion of any Inn shall be taken by the events
described in Section 14.02.A, or an entire Inn is affected but on a temporary
basis, and the result is not to make it unreasonable to continue to operate such
Inn, this Agreement shall not terminate. However, so much of any award for any
such partial taking or condemnation as shall be necessary to render
69
such Inn equivalent to its condition prior to such event shall be used for such
purpose. Owner shall retain the balance of such award, subject to the provisions
of any mortgage of the Inn.
14.03 Force Majeure
A. If acts of God, acts of war, civil disturbance, or governmental action
(collectively herein referred to as "Force Majeure") make it impractical for
either Lessee or Manager to perform any of its respective obligations hereunder,
such obligation shall be suspended until it is again possible for the affected
party to perform it. In addition, if such an event, in Manager's or Lessee's
reasonable judgment, makes continued operation of an Inn impractical for more
than a reasonable temporary period, then Manager or Lessee may terminate this
Agreement as to such Inn on sixty (60) days written notice to Lessee or Manager,
as the case may be.
B. The provisions of Section 14.03.A shall not apply to the specific
provisions of this Agreement regarding (i) damage or destruction, (ii)
condemnation, and (iii) withdrawal or revocation of licenses or permits.

DEFAULTS
15.01 Events of Default
The following shall constitute "events of default" to the extent
permitted by applicable law:
A. The failure of either party to make any payment required to be made in
accordance with the terms hereof within ten (10) days after written notice that
such payment has not been made; or
B. Unless Section 15.01.A is applicable, the breach by either party of
any material representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement,
or the default by either party in the performance of any covenants,
undertakings, obligations or conditions set forth in this Agreement, which
breach or default shall not have been cured within thirty (30) days after notice
of such breach or default; provided that an "event of default" shall not exist
with regard thereto if such breach or default (i) is not attributable to a
failure to pay any sums due under this Agreement and (ii) such breach or default
is curable (but not within such thirty (30) day period) and the defaulting party
commences the cure of said breach or default within said thirty (30) day period
and thereafter proceeds diligently and in good faith to complete such cure; or
C. If a court of competent jurisdiction has entered a final,
non-appealable judgment finding Manager liable for fraud, gross negligence or
willful and wanton misconduct in its dealings with Lessee hereunder; or
D. If Manager or Owner or Lessee shall apply for or consent to the
appointment of a receiver, trustee or liquidator of all or a substantial part of
its assets or make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or
file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or a petition
71
seeking reorganization, composition, arrangement with creditors, liquidation or
similar relief under any present or future statute, law or regulation, or file
any answer admitting the material allegations of a petition filed against it in
any such proceeding, or be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or take any
action looking toward dissolution; or
E. If any final order, judgment or decree (that is, an order, judgment or
decree affirmed on appeal to a court of last resort or after the expiration of
any period to appeal) shall be entered without the application, approval or
consent of Manager or Owner or Lessee by any court of competent jurisdiction,
approving a petition seeking reorganization, composition, arrangement with
creditors, liquidation or similar relief under any present or future statute,
law or regulation with respect to Manager or Owner or Lessee, or appointing a
receiver, trustee or liquidator of all or a substantial part of Manager's or
Owner's or Lessee's assets and such order, judgment or decree shall continue
unstayed and in effect for an aggregate of sixty (60) days (whether or not
consecutive).
15.02 Remedies
A. If, at any time during the term of this Agreement, an "event of
default" (as defined in Section 15.01) shall occur, then the non-defaulting
party may, at its option, terminate this Agreement by giving notice to the other
party, specifying a date, not earlier than thirty (30) days after the receipt of
such notice, for Termination of this Agreement. If the default has not been
cured on or before the date specified in the aforesaid notice, this Agreement
shall terminate on such date.
72
B. The rights set forth in Section 15.02.A shall not be in substitution
for, but shall be in addition to, any and all rights and remedies available to
the non-defaulting party by reason of applicable law.

WAIVER AND PARTIAL INVALIDITY
16.01 Waiver
The failure of either party to insist upon a strict performance of any of
the terms or provisions of the Agreement, or to exercise any option, right or
remedy herein contained, shall not be construed as a waiver or as a
relinquishment for the future of such term, provision, option, right or remedy,
but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect. No waiver by
either party of any term or provision hereof shall be deemed to have been made
unless expressed in writing and signed by such party.
16.02 Partial Invalidity
If any portion of the Agreement shall be declared invalid by order,
decree or judgment of a court, the Agreement shall be construed as if such
portion had not been inserted herein except when such construction would operate
as an undue hardship on Manager or Lessee or constitute a substantial deviation
from the general intent and purpose of said parties as reflected in the
Agreement.

ASSIGNMENT
17.01 Assignment
A. Neither party shall assign or transfer or permit the assignment or
transfer of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other;
provided, however, that Manager shall have the right, without such consent, to
(1) assign its interest in this Agreement to Marriott or any Marriott Affiliate
which (i) has adequate experience in managing hotels and has adequate capital to
conduct its business as Manager under this Agreement, and (ii) agrees in writing
to be bound by and comply with the terms of this Agreement (such written
agreement to be delivered to Owner); and (2) lease shops or grant concessions at
the Inns so long as the terms of any such leases or concessions do not exceed
the term of this Agreement. Nothing contained herein shall prevent (i) the
conditional assignment of this Agreement by Lessee as security for any Mortgage
on the Inns pursuant to Section 17.02; (ii) the transfer of this Agreement in
connection with a merger or consolidation or a sale of all or substantially all
of the assets of Marriott; (iii) an assignment of this Agreement in connection
with an approved Sale of one or more of the Inns pursuant to Section 18.01.A.2;
or (iv) any sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of an Inn or Site by
Owner or Lessee to an Affiliate of Owner, provided that, with respect to this
clause (iv), if any of the following is true: (i) that the proposed purchaser is
engaged in the business of operating (as distinguished from owning or financing)
hotels or other lodging facilities in competition with Manager, Marriott or any
Marriott Affiliate; (ii) that the proposed purchaser is known as being of bad
moral character or is in control of or controlled by persons known as being of
bad moral character, or (iii) that the financial condition and prospects of the
proposed purchaser are not adequate to discharge the obligations of Lessee under
this Agreement, then any
75
such sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of an Inn or Site by Owner
or Lessee to an Affiliate of Owner or Lessee shall be prohibited.
B. In the event either party consents to an assignment of this Agreement
by the other, no further assignment shall be made without the express consent in
writing of such party, unless such assignment may otherwise be made without such
consent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. An assignment by either Lessee
or Manager of its interest in this Agreement shall not relieve Lessee or
Manager, as the case may be, from their respective obligations under this
Agreement, and shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, their
respective successors, heirs, legal representatives, or assigns.
17.02 Mortgages and Collateral Assignments
Lessee or Owner may from time to time (i) grant Mortgages encumbering the
Inns, and (ii) collaterally assign its interest under this Agreement as
additional security, provided that all such Mortgages and collateral
assignments: (a) are granted or entered into in connection with indebtedness
that is described in Section 3.01.A.2 (ii) and (iii) hereof, and (b) each
contain a non-disturbance provision in the form described in Section 3.01.A.2(i)
hereof. Provided that all of the provisions of Section 3.01.A.2 are complied
with, Manager agrees that (in connection with Lessee or Owner obtaining such
secured loans) it will: (x) deliver to the lender, upon Lessee's or Owner's
written request therefore, a statement that this Agreement is in full force and
effect and that there are no outstanding defaults hereunder, or, if there are
outstanding defaults, describing what they are; (y) subordinate Manager's
interest in this Agreement to the rights of the lender upon foreclosure of any
such Mortgage or upon the granting of a deed in lieu of foreclosure; and (z)
attorn to and recognize such lender or its assignee as being the "Owner" or
"Lessee" (as the case may be) under this Agreement upon a conveyance of title to
the Inns to such lender or its
76
assignee, whether such conveyance is the result of a foreclosure of said
Mortgage, or is the result of a deed in lieu of foreclosure; provided that, such
lender simultaneously agrees to execute a non-disturbance, subordination and
attornment agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F,
which shall be recordable in the jurisdictions where the Inns are located.

ARTICLE XVIII
SALE OF AN INN OR INNS
18.01 Right of First Refusal
A. It is a principal inducement for Manager to enter into this
transaction that the twenty-two (22) Inns shall not, at any one time, ever be
owned by more than five (5) separate individuals or entities each of whom has a
management agreement with Manager with respect to its Inn or Inns. Accordingly,
Lessee agrees that neither it nor Owner will have the right to enter into a Sale
of an Inn if such a transaction, when consummated, would result in the
twenty-two (22) Inns being owned by more than five (5) separate owners. Subject
to the foregoing, if Owner or Lessee receives a bona fide written offer to enter
into a Sale of an Inn, and desires to accept such offer, Lessee shall, or shall
cause Owner to give written notice thereof to Manager stating the name of the
prospective purchaser or tenant, as the case may be, the price or rental and the
terms and conditions of such proposed Sale of the Inn, together with all other
information requested by Manager and reasonably available to Owner or Lessee.
Within thirty (30) days after the date of receipt of Lessee's or Owner's written
notice and such other information, Manager shall elect, by written notice to
Lessee, one of the following alternatives:
1. To purchase or lease such Inn or Inns at the same price or rental and
upon the same terms and conditions as those set forth in the written notice from
Lessee or Owner to Manager or upon other terms acceptable to Owner, in which
event Lessee and Manager shall promptly enter into an agreement for such sale or
lease and shall finalize the same within ninety (90) days.
2. To consent to such Sale of an Inn and to agree to enter into a new
management agreement, with respect to such Inn or Inns, with such purchaser or
tenant, which
78
new management agreement will be on all of the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, except that the Actual Debt Service and the Operating Profit
Objective shall be only the portion thereof allocable to such Inn or Inns based
on the percentages as set forth in Exhibit "B" hereof, and except that, in
preparing such new management agreement, appropriate adjustments shall be made
to all other terms and provisions of this Agreement which have been agreed to
and/or computed on the assumption that this Agreement will apply to all
twenty-two (22) Inns (and reciprocal adjustments shall likewise be made to this
Agreement itself, which will be applicable to the Inns not being sold under this
Section 18.01, as set forth in Section 18.02 hereof); provided, however, that if
Manager in good faith believes (and so states in writing to Lessee) that any one
or more of the following is true: (i) that the proposed purchaser is engaged in
the business of operating (as distinguished from owning or financing) hotels or
other lodging facilities in competition with Manager, Marriott or any Marriott
Affiliate; (ii) that the proposed purchaser is known as being of bad moral
character or is in control of or controlled by persons known as being of bad
moral character; or (iii) that the financial condition and prospects of the
proposed purchaser are not adequate to discharge the obligations of Lessee under
this Agreement, Manager shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, by
written notice to Lessee, with respect to such Inn or Inns, and Manager shall
not be required to enter into such new management agreement with respect
thereto. The effective date of such Termination shall coincide with the date of
the finalization of the proposed Sale of the Inn. Such Termination shall not be
effective if Sale of the Inn is not finalized.
B. If Manager shall fail to elect any of the above alternatives within
said thirty (30) day period, such failure shall be conclusively deemed to
constitute an election under subsection 2 above to enter into a new management
agreement, with respect to such Inn or Inns, with such
79
purchaser or tenant, and the provisions thereof shall prevail as if Manager had
consented in writing thereto. Any proposed Sale of the Inn of which notice has
been given by Lessee or Owner to Manager hereunder must be finalized within one
hundred eighty (180) days following the giving of such notice, unless Manager
has exercised its option under subsection 1 above to purchase or lease the Inns.
Failing such finalization, such notice, and any response thereto given by
Manager, shall be null and void and all of the provisions of Section 18.01.A
must again be complied with before Lessee or Owner shall have the right to
finalize a Sale of an Inn upon the terms contained in said notice, or otherwise.
18.02 Effect of Sale of Inn
Upon the consummation of the Sale of an Inn, subject to the provisions of
Section 18.01, then:
A. This Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Inn, but not with
respect to the remaining Inns; as to such Inn involved in the Sale, the actions
described in Section 4.03 shall be taken (except that, if Manager is entering
into a new management agreement with the purchaser or tenant, as the case may
be, of such Inn, then (i) the actions described in subsections D and G of
Section 4.03 shall not be necessary), and (ii) the actions described in
subsection C of Section 4.03 shall be complied with to the extent such books and
records are in Manager's control or possession and shall apply to those books
and records related only to the period prior to such termination;
B. The Actual Debt Service shall be reduced by the percentage thereof
allocable to such Inn as set forth in Exhibit "B" hereto;
C. The Operating Profit Objective shall be reduced by the percentage
thereof allocable to such Inn as set forth in Exhibit "B" hereto;
80
D. A portion of the Repairs and Equipment Reserve maintained pursuant to
Section 7.02 hereof shall be transferred to the purchaser of such Inn (or, at
the direction of the Lessee, released to the Lessee); such portion shall be
computed by multiplying the Repairs and Equipment Reserve by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the Gross Revenues attributable to such Inn being
sold for the most recently concluded Fiscal Year and the denominator of which
shall be the Gross Revenues attributable to all the Inns for such Fiscal Year;
E. Appropriate adjustments shall be made to those other terms and
provisions of this Agreement (e.g., Working Capital, insurance) which have been
agreed on, computed or established on the assumption that this Agreement will
apply to all twenty-two (22) of the Inns;
F. Unless Manager has elected not to enter into a new management
agreement with the purchaser or tenant, as the case may be, of such Inn, for one
or more of the reasons set forth in subsections (i),(ii) and (iii) of Section
18.01.A.2 hereof, Manager and such purchaser or tenant shall execute the new
management agreement described in Section 18.01.A.2.; and
G. Lessee shall pay Manager an amount equal to a portion of the
outstanding balance of all Manager Loans determined by multiplying the total
outstanding balance of all Manager Loans by a fraction, the numerator of which
is the amount of Operating Profit attributable to the Inn being sold for the
immediately preceding full Fiscal Year, and the denominator of which is the
amount of Operating Profit from all Inns for the immediately preceding full
Fiscal Year.

Mortgagee, or (iii) any purchaser of the Inn at Foreclosure.
2. Subordination of Management Agreement. Subject to the parties'
compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Management Agreement and
all right, title and interest of Manager in and to the Inn are and shall be
subject and subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage; provided, however, that,
notwithstanding the foregoing subordination, neither Mortgagee nor any
Subsequent Owner shall name Manager as a defendant in any Foreclosure
(unless required by law in order for Mortgagee to obtain complete relief in a
judicial foreclosure proceeding, in which event Manager may be so named subject
to the non-disturbance obligations set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement and
provided that (i) such naming shall not be in derogation of any of the rights of
Manager set forth in this Agreement and (ii) the Management Agreement shall not
be subject to forfeiture or termination, other than in accordance with the terms
thereof, by reason of such suit, action or proceeding or any judgment rendered
therein) or otherwise take steps that are inconsistent with Section 3 of this
Agreement.
3. Non-Disturbance.
A. In the event any Subsequent Owner comes into possession of or
acquires title to the Inn either at or following a Foreclosure, Mortgagee agrees
(which agreement shall be binding on all Subsequent Owners) that if, at such
time, the Management Agreement has not expired or otherwise been earlier
terminated in accordance with its terms, then Mortgagee and all Subsequent
Owners shall recognize Manager's rights under the Management Agreement and
Manager shall not be disturbed in its right to manage and operate the Inn
pursuant to the provisions of the Management Agreement.
B. If, at the time that a Subsequent Owner acquires its interest by
Foreclosure, the Management Agreement has terminated for any reason whatsoever
or Manager does not have the right to manage or operate the Inn pursuant to the
provisions of the Management Agreement (in each case other than due to an Event
of Default by Manager under the Management Agreement), Subsequent Owner and
Manager shall immediately enter into a replacement agreement on the same terms
and conditions as the Management Agreement, except that the term of such
replacement agreement shall start from the date the Management Agreement
terminates (or, as applicable, the date on which Manager no longer has the right
to manage or operate the Inn pursuant to the provisions of the Management
Agreement) and shall continue for the balance of the term that would have
otherwise remained under the Management Agreement.
4. Attornment. Manager agrees that, upon a Foreclosure of the Mortgage,
provided that (subject to the provisions of Section 3 above) the Management
Agreement has not expired or otherwise been earlier terminated in accordance
with its terms, Manager shall attorn to any Subsequent Owner and shall remain
bound by all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Management Agreement,
for the balance of the remaining term thereof (and any renewals thereof that may
be effected in accordance with the Management Agreement) with the same force and
effect as if such Subsequent Owner were the "Owner" under the Management
Agreement; provided, however, that Manager shall be under no such obligation to
so attorn: (i) if such Subsequent Owner would not qualify as a permitted
transferee under Section 18.01 of the Management Agreement; or (ii) unless such
Subsequent Owner, within twenty (20) days after the Foreclosure Date (or, in the
event such Subsequent Owner acquires title to the Inn after the Foreclosure
Date, within twenty (20) days after the date of such acquisition of title to the
Inn), assumes all of the obligations of the "Owner" under the Management
Agreement that arise from and after the Foreclosure Date (or such later date of
acquisition of title to the Inn), pursuant to a written assumption agreement
that is reasonably acceptable to Manager and that shall be delivered to Manager.
Upon the written request of Mortgagee, Manager shall periodically execute and
deliver a statement, in a form reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee, reaffirming
Manager's obligation to attorn as set forth in this Section 4.
5. Notice and Opportunity to Cure.
A. In the event of a Default by Lessee in the performance or
observance of any of the terms and conditions of the Management Agreement, and
in the event that Manager gives written notice thereof to Lessee pursuant to
Article XV of the Management Agreement, Manager shall also give a duplicate copy
(herein referred to as the "First Notice") of such notice to Mortgagee, in
accordance with Section 8 of this Agreement. In addition, in the event that such
Default is not cured within the applicable cure period under Article XV of the
Management Agreement, and Manager intends to exercise its remedy of terminating
the Management Agreement, Manager shall send a second notice (the "Second
Notice") to Mortgagee, in accordance with Section 8 hereof, stating Manager's
intention to terminate the Management Agreement. Manager shall forbear from
taking any action to terminate the Management Agreement for a period of thirty
(30) days after the service of the First Notice, and for an additional period of
thirty (30) days after the service of the Second Notice (if such Second Notice
is required, as set forth above).
B. No notice given by Manager to Lessee shall be effective as a
notice under Article XV of the Management Agreement unless the applicable
duplicate notice to Mortgagee that is required under Section 5.A hereof (either
the First Notice or the Second Notice, as the case may be) is given to Mortgagee
in accordance with this Agreement. It is understood that any failure by Manager
to give such a duplicate notice (either the First Notice or the Second Notice,
as the case may be) to Mortgagee shall not be a default by Manager either under
this Agreement or under the Management Agreement, but rather shall operate only
to void the effectiveness of any such notice by Manager to Lessee under Article
XV of the Management Agreement.
C. Manager agrees to accept performance by Mortgagee with the same
force and effect as if the same were performed by Lessee, in accordance with the
provisions and within the cure periods prescribed in the Management Agreement
(except that Mortgagee shall have such additional cure periods, not available to
Lessee, as are set forth in Section 5.A hereof).
D. Except as specifically limited in the foregoing paragraphs,
nothing contained herein shall preclude Manager from exercising any of its
rights or remedies against Lessee with respect to any default by Lessee under
the Management Agreement.
6. Notice to Manager. Mortgagee shall deliver to Manager a copy of any
notice of default under the Mortgage that Mortgagee sends to Owner.
7. Assignment of Management Agreement. Owner has, pursuant to the
applicable provisions of the Mortgage, collaterally assigned to Mortgagee, as
additional security for the indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage, all of
Owner's right, title and interest in and to the Management Agreement, including
the right to distributions payable to Lessee pursuant thereto. Manager hereby
acknowledges that it has been given a copy of the foregoing assignment. Owner
and Manager hereby acknowledge and agree that, upon the occurrence of a default
under the Loan Agreement or Mortgage, Mortgagee may (from time to time) give
Manager a notice or notices directing Manager to pay to Mortgagee subsequent
distributions under Article V or other applicable provisions under the
Management Agreement that would otherwise be payable to Lessee, and Manager
agrees to comply with any such notice. Manager shall continue to make payments
in compliance with any such notice from Mortgagee until Manager receives written
instructions to the contrary from Mortgagee. Owner and Lessee hereby give
consent to any such payments by Manager to Mortgagee that are in compliance with
any such notice. The foregoing consents by Owner and Lessee shall be deemed to
be irrevocable until the entire debt secured by the Mortgage has been
discharged, as evidenced either by the recordation of a satisfaction or release
executed by Mortgagee, or by the delivery of a written statement to that effect
from Mortgagee to Manager. It is understood that Manager shall comply with the
direction set forth in any such notice without any necessity to investigate
Mortgagee's reasons for sending such notice, or to confirm whether or not Owner
is in fact in default under the terms of the Loan Agreement or Mortgage.
8. Notices. Notices, statements and other communications to be given
under the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered by hand
against receipt or sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return
receipt requested, or by Federal Express (or other nationally-recognized
overnight courier), marked for next business day delivery, with delivery charges
paid by the sender:

execute, acknowledge and deliver to Mortgagee, or to any third party specified
by Mortgagee, a statement in writing: (a) certifying (i) that the Management
Agreement is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been
modifications, that the same, as modified, is in full force and effect and
stating the modifications) and (ii) the date through which the management fees
due under the Management Agreement have been paid; (b) stating whether or not to
the best knowledge of Manager (i) there is a continuing default by Lessee in the
performance or observance of any covenant, agreement or condition contained in
the Management Agreement, or (ii) there shall have occurred any event that, with
the giving of notice or passage of time or both, would become such a default,
and, if so, specifying each such default or occurrence of which Manager may have
knowledge; and (c) stating such other information as Mortgagee may reasonably
request. Such statement shall be binding upon Manager and may be relied upon by
Mortgagee and/or such third party specified by Mortgagee as aforesaid.
10. Confirmatory Documentation.
The provisions of Section 2, Section 3 and Section 4 of this Agreement are
and shall be fully effective and binding between the parties, upon the
occurrence of the conditions set forth in such Sections, without the execution
of any further instruments by any party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each
party to this Agreement shall have the right (from time to time, for so long as
this Agreement is in effect) to request either or both of the other parties to
execute documentation (in form reasonably satisfactory to all signing parties)
confirming (if true) that such conditions (if any) have been satisfied and that
the provisions of Section 2, Section 3 and/or Section 4 hereof have been
implemented. In such event, each of the parties that are requested to execute
such confirmatory documentation agrees to execute it within a reasonable period
of time (not to exceed thirty (30) days) after its receipt of such request.
11. Miscellaneous.
A. This Agreement may be executed in a number of identical

considered a waiver of any other covenant, condition or promise. No
such waiver shall constitute a waiver of the time for performing any
other act or identical act required to be performed at a later time.

constitute a waiver of any remedy provided by law or in equity, and
