thereof shall be defined as the "Capital Proceeds Participation"
for such Capital Proceeds Transaction.

(i) Step 1: determine Net Available Cash as of the last day
of any fiscal year of Owner commencing with December 31, 1996 and each
December 31st thereafter (for each such calculation, a "Reference
Date");
(ii) Step 2: subtract an amount equal to the NLC Preferred
Return attributable to the period for which Net Available Cash is
determined (such period, being the period commencing on the day after
the immediately preceding Reference Date (or the closing date under
the Purchase Agreement in the case of the first Reference Period) and
ending on the subject Reference Date, is defined as a "Reference
Period"), as well as previously unpaid and accrued NLC Preferred

$600,000.
2. If the Cash Flow Participation Cash is less than

reduced by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the number of days in such Reference Period and the
denominator of which is 365.
(v) Step 5: if there is Cash Flow Participation Cash
remaining after subtracting the First Split (such amount, if any, is
defined as the "Remaining Balance"), divide the Remaining Balance into
two categories, (A) the first being an amount (the "Intermediate
Split") equal to the lesser of $1,800,000 and the Remaining Balance
and (B) the second being an amount (the "Final Split") equal to the

above. Such amount shall be defined as the "Cash Flow Participation"
with respect to such Reference Period.
(h) "FF&E Reserves" shall mean a reserve which shall be established
by Owner in an amount equal to: (i) three (3%) percent of Owner's revenues from
operations ("Operating Cash") for the first Reference Period; (ii) three and
one-half (3-1/2%) percent of Operating Cash for the second Reference Period;
(iii) four and one-half (4-1/2%) percent of Operating Cash for the third
Reference Period; and (iv) five (5%) percent of Operating Cash for each
Reference Period thereafter.

the extent such Accrued Benefits relate to the period prior to the
Apportionment Date (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement), and (v)
costs incurred resulting from uninsured losses; provided, however, any sums
otherwise includable as NLC Debt/Equity Investment pursuant to this Section

1999 (such reduction not to exceed $45 million (CDN) in any event) if and to
the extent that Mortgage Debt (excluding the Assumed Debt and the Assigned
Debt, such new debt, the "New Third Party Debt") has not been incurred by
Owner, directly or indirectly; provided, however, that both the dollar for
dollar and the maximum $45,000,000 (CDN) reduction in the NLC Debt/Equity
Investment as herein provided shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator
of which is equal to the amount of the NLC Debt/Equity Investment funded by NLC
and its affiliates at closing remaining from time to time, and the denominator
of which is the said NLC Debt/Equity Investment funded at closing. Any amounts
in respect
-7-
C/M: 11752.0002 369570.13
of the NLC Preferred Return not paid or deemed to be paid pursuant to
paragraphs 1(b) and 1(g) hereof during or within ninety (90) days of any
Reference Period shall accrue and be added to the principal amount of the NLC
Debt/Equity Investment as of the end of the previous Reference Period (such
amounts earning a NLC Preferred Return together with the existing NLC
Debt/Equity Investment).
2. Future Payments. (a) Owner shall deliver to Agent, solely as agent
for CPLP, a Cash Flow Participation Payment once per annum within ninety (90)
days after the end of each Reference Period; each payment to be made in respect
of such Reference Period, together with a statement, audited by Owner's third
party accountants, setting out in reasonable detail the calculation of Net
Available Cash and the Cash Flow Participation Payment.
(b) Owner shall deliver to Agent, solely as agent for CPLP, a Capital
Proceeds Participation Payment with respect to each Capital Transaction within
sixty (60) days after each Capital Transaction Date, together with a statement,
certified by Owner's third party accountants, setting out in reasonable detail
the calculation of Net Capital Proceeds and the Capital Proceeds Participation
Payment.
(c) Any amounts in respect of a Cash Flow Participation Payment not
paid within 90 days of the last day of the relevant Reference Period or any
amounts with respect of the Capital Proceeds Participation Payment not paid
within 60 days of the Capital Transaction Date, in both instances shall bear
interest at the Interest Rate from the end of the relevant Reference Period or
Capital Transaction Date, as the case may be, until paid.
(d) Any errors or omissions in computing Cash Flow Participation
Payments or Capital Proceeds Participation Payments after the end of each
Reference Period or after the applicable Capital Transaction Date, as the case
may be, shall be corrected promptly upon discovery thereof and (x) if CPLP is
due additional funds, then such additional funds shall be added to the next
payments hereunder, provided that if there is an error or omission of greater
than 5%, then such additional funds shall be delivered to CPLP within 60 days
upon discovery of such error, and (y) if Agent, on behalf of CPLP, received
funds in excess of what was due CPLP hereunder, such funds shall be withheld
from the next distributions due to Agent, on behalf of CPLP, hereunder.
3. Termination of Agreement. (a) At any time after December 31, 2000
but prior to the twelfth (12th) anniversary of the closing, Owner may, in its
sole and absolute discretion, by delivery of notice in writing (a "Termination
Notice") to Agent, on behalf of CPLP, of its intention to pay a Termination
Payment in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, followed, within
sixty (60) days thereafter, by delivery to Agent, on behalf of CPLP, of a
statement, certified by Owner's third party accountants, setting forth in
reasonable detail the calculation of the Termination Payment, be entitled to
elect to terminate its obligation to make Future Payments and terminate this
Agreement upon payment to Agent, solely as agent
-8-
C/M: 11752.0002 369570.13
for CPLP, ratably (i.e., in equal installments) over a four-year period,
without interest, commencing within 60 days of the giving of such Termination
Notice, of an aggregate amount (the "Termination Payment") equal to (x) 8.3
times the Cash Flow Participation Payment that would have been payable to
Agent, as agent for CPLP, if the Reference Period for the Cash Flow
Participation Payments Calculation was the twelve (12) month period immediately
preceding delivery of such Termination Notice by Owner electing to terminate
this Agreement less (y) the sum of (i) $375,000 plus (ii) any unpaid
Indemnification Obligations plus (iii) Environmental Cleanup Costs, but only to
the extent incurred to comply with present or future laws or legal
requirements. The second, third and fourth installments of the Termination
Payment shall be made not later than, respectively, the first, second and third
anniversaries of the date the first installment is paid (each such date, a
"Termination Payment Date"). For the avoidance of doubt, the Cash Flow
Participation Payments referred to in this Section 3(a) exclude Capital
Proceeds Participation Payments for the Reference Period in question and,
except for the Stub Cash Flow Participation Payment (defined below), there
shall be no Cash Flow Distribution Payments made to Agent, on behalf of CPLP,
during the four (4) year payment period for the Termination Payment.
(b) In addition to the Termination Payment, together with delivery of
the first installment, Owner shall pay to Agent, solely as agent for CPLP, an
amount (the "Stub Cash Flow Participation Payment") equal to the Cash Flow
Participation Payment which would have been due CPLP if the relevant Reference
Period commenced on January 1st of the year in which the first installment of
the Termination Payment is made and ended on the day immediately preceding the
date on which such Termination Notice is given, pro rating all expenses,
deductions and the like that would have been used to calculate the Cash Flow
Participation Payment for a full year.
(c) If Owner does not deliver to Agent, solely as agent for CPLP, the
second, third and fourth installments of the Termination Payment on or prior to
each respective Termination Payment Date, and does not then make such payment
within five (5) business days after notice from Agent that such payment was not
made when due, then such payment shall accrue interest at the Interest Rate
from the date due until the date paid.
(d) Should Owner so elect, the second, third and/or fourth
installment payments may be prepaid at any time without premium, penalty or
prior written notice of such intent to prepay.
(e) It is acknowledged and agreed that despite giving a Termination
Notice, the obligation to make the Termination Payment is revocable until, if
and when the first installment payment thereof, together with any then due Stub
Cash Flow Participation Payment, is made. If Owner does not make, or elects not
to make, the first installment of the Termination Payment, together with such
Stub Cash Flow Participation Payment, within such sixty (60) day
-9-
C/M: 11752.0002 369570.13
period, then Owner may, at any time during or after such sixty (60) day period,
in its sole and absolute discretion, deliver subsequent Notices of such intent
to make the Termination Payment.
(f) Upon payment of the aggregate Termination Payment and any then
due Stub Cash Flow Termination Payment, Owner shall have no further obligation
or liability to CPLP or the Limited Partners, and CPLP and the Limited Partners
shall have no further obligation or liability for Indemnification Obligations
or Environmental Clean-up Costs.
