RECITALS
WHEREAS, HPTMI and CR14 Tenant Corporation, a Delaware corporation
(hereinafter referred to as "Tenant") have agreed to enter into various leases,
from time to time for certain hotels located or to be located in the United
States (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Leases" and individually as
the "Lease") pursuant to the terms of a certain Purchase and Sale Agreement
dated even date herewith (the "Agreement") in connection with the sale of
fourteen (14) hotels from Affiliated Persons of Guarantor to Landlord (the
"Properties"); and
WHEREAS, Guarantor owns all of the stock in Tenant, and it is a
condition precedent to the Landlord's entering into the Leases with Tenant that
Guarantor guarantee payment of Guaranteed Rent (defined herein) under the
Leases; and
WHEREAS, the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and the Leases
are of direct, material and substantial benefit to the Guarantor; and
WHEREAS, words not otherwise defined herein, whether or not capitalized
herein, shall have the meanings given to them in each Lease.
NOW, THEREFORE, WITNESSETH, in consideration of the agreement of the
Landlord to enter into the Leases with Tenant and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged,
Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees as follows:
SECTION 1
GUARANTY
Subject to the terms and provisions of this Guaranty, Guarantor hereby
unconditionally guarantees to Landlord the full, complete, and timely payment by
Tenant of all Minimum Rent (as defined in each Lease) and Additional Rent (as
defined in each Lease) (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Guaranteed
Rent") due and payable under all of the Leases for the Guaranty Term, without
deduction by reason of any set-off (except to the extent of any set-offs to
which Tenant is expressly entitled pursuant to the terms of the Lease), defense,
or
counterclaim. For purposes here, it is expressly understood and agreed that
"Guaranteed Rent" shall not include any sums for damages arising from an Event
of Default or termination of the Lease, specifically including damages relating
to the acceleration of any rent due under the Lease in excess of the Minimum
Rent and Additional Rent payable during the Guaranty Term in accordance with the
terms of the Leases. In the event that there is an Event of Default by Tenant
pursuant to the terms of a Lease, Landlord hereby agrees to use reasonable
efforts to mitigate its damages.
A. If during the Guaranty Term Tenant shall fail to pay all or any
portion of the Guaranteed Rent when due, Guarantor shall pay (without first
requiring Landlord to proceed against Tenant, any other person, or any other
security) to Landlord all Guaranteed Rent due and unpaid. Guarantor shall make
payment of such Guaranteed Rent within four (4) Business Days of receipt by
Guarantor of notice from Landlord of Tenant's failure to pay such Guaranteed
Rent. Interest at the Disbursement Rate shall accrue and be owing and due by
Guarantor to Landlord for any Guaranteed Rent not paid within such four (4)
Business Day period.
Notwithstanding the above, in the event that there is an Exercise of
Rights by Landlord (as defined hereinafter in Section 6.B hereof), the
above-referenced period of "four (4 Business Days" shall be "ten (10) Business
Days."
B. In the event Guarantor and Tenant should each pay the same
Guaranteed Rent, Landlord shall promptly return to Guarantor the Guaranteed Rent
paid by Guarantor.
SECTION 2
TERM OF GUARANTY
Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall be limited to Guaranteed Rent
accruing during a period commencing on the date hereof and shall continue to
effect as set forth in subsections A. and B. hereinbelow (the "Guaranty Term"):
A. The Guaranty Term shall continue until the first to occur of the
following events, and thereafter as provided in subsection B.
(i) the expiration of six (6) full Accounting Periods after
the expiration of the Accounting Period in which the last of the fourteen (14)
Properties has been acquired by Landlord, or
(ii) the expiration of nineteen (19) full Accounting Periods
after the expiration of the Accounting Period in which the first Property has
been acquired by Landlord.
B. Expiration of Term. Thereafter, the Guaranty Term shall continue in
full force and effect until, and shall terminate on the first to occur of one of
the following events:
-2-
(i) 11:59 p.m. on the last day of the Fiscal Year 2003;
or
(ii) the expiration of the first entire Fiscal Year of
Tenant in which the Aggregate Amount Funded (as
defined herein) exceeds twenty percent (20%) of the
Total Property Purchase Price (as defined herein)
paid to Guarantor or its Affiliated Persons for the
Properties which were acquired by Landlord.
The Aggregate Amount Funded shall be determined
annually, in arrears, at the end of each Fiscal Year.
Tenant and/or Guarantor shall make such determination
and give notice to Landlord of such amount within one
hundred twenty (120) days of the expiration of the
then applicable Fiscal Year. This determination shall
be deemed conclusively accurate unless Landlord gives
written notice to Tenant and/or Guarantor of its
objections to such determination within thirty (30)
days of its receipt of Tenant's and/or Guarantor's
determination.
To establish that the Aggregate Amount Funded has
exceeded twenty percent (20%) of the Total Property
Purchase Price within the applicable Fiscal Year,
Guarantor shall send a Notice to Landlord, including
the following documents: (i) a letter from
Guarantor's auditor affirming that the auditor has
reviewed the Aggregate Amount Funded determination
for each Fiscal Year and has found no material errors
or omissions therein (or such other similar statement
as the auditor's policies and procedures then permit
the auditor to make in providing review and
confirmation of calculations of this kind), (ii) a
certificate of an officer of Guarantor affirming the
accuracy and completeness of the Aggregate Amount
Funded determination, and (iii) a copy of the
calculation of the Aggregate Amount Funded
determination.
Landlord, at its sole cost and expense (except as
provided hereinbelow), shall be entitled to perform
an independent audit to confirm the accuracy of the
Aggregate Amount Funded determination submitted by
Guarantor, such audit to be commenced not later than
ninety (90) days after Tenant or Guarantor submits
its determination, and, in the event that Guarantor's
determination is shown to be materially inaccurate in
Guarantor's favor (which the parties agree shall
constitute a deviation of 3% or more), the cost of
the audit shall be borne by Guarantor. If such
independent audit establishes that the Aggregate
Amount Funded did not exceed twenty percent (20%) of
the Total Property Purchase Price, this Guaranty
shall continue in full force and effect.
or
-3-
(iii) the date on which Minimum Rent Coverage (as defined
herein) equals or exceeds one hundred and thirty
percent (130%) of the Minimum Rent for four (4)
consecutive Fiscal Quarters (for clarification, it is
agreed that such date shall be the last day of such
fourth consecutive Fiscal Quarter). To establish that
the Minimum Rent Coverage has met the 130% standard
set forth hereinabove, Guarantor shall send a notice
to Landlord, which notice shall include: (i) a letter
from Guarantor's auditor affirming that the auditor
has reviewed the Minimum Rent coverage determination
for each quarter and has found no material errors or
omissions therein (or such other similar statement as
the auditor's policies and procedures then permit the
auditor to make in providing review and confirmation
of calculations of this kind), (ii) a certificate of
an officer of Guarantor affirming the accuracy and
completeness of the Minimum Rent Coverage
determination, and (iii) a copy of the calculation of
the Minimum Rent Coverage determination.
Landlord, at its sole cost and expense (except as
provided hereinbelow), shall be entitled to perform
an independent audit to confirm the accuracy of the
Minimum Rent Coverage determination submitted by
Guarantor, such audit to be commenced not later than
ninety (90) days after Tenant or Guarantor submits
its audit, and, in the event that Guarantor's
determination is shown to be materially inaccurate in
Guarantor's favor (which the parties agree shall
constitute a deviation of 3% or more), the cost of
the audit shall be borne by Guarantor. If such
independent audit establishes that the Minimum Rent
Coverage did not exceed the aforementioned one
hundred and thirty percent (130%) this Guaranty shall
continue in full force and effect.
"Aggregate Amount Funded" is the cumulative amount of Guaranteed Rent
paid by Tenant (pursuant to the terms of the Leases for al of the
Properties acquired by Landlord) and Guarantor (pursuant to the terms
of this Guaranty) in excess of total cumulative Cash Available for
Lease Payment for the time period beginning on the earlier to occur of:
(i) the expiration of six full Accounting Periods after the expiration
of the Accounting Period in which the last of the fourteen (14)
Properties is purchased by Landlord, or (ii) the expiration of nineteen
(19) full Accounting Periods after the expiration of the Accounting
Period in which the first Property has been acquired by Landlord.
"Minimum Rent Coverage" is Cash Available For Lease Payment (as defined
herein) for all of the Properties acquired by Landlord divided by Base
Rent for all of the Properties acquired by Landlord, each calculated
for each Fiscal Quarter.
-4-
"Cash Available For Lease Payment" is defined as Total Hotel Sales for
all of the Properties from the date each is acquired by Landlord less
Property Expenses for all of the Properties from the date each is
acquired by Landlord.
"Property Expenses" is defined on Exhibit A attached hereto.
"Total Property Purchase Price" is defined as the sum of the Allocable
Purchase Prices (as defined in the Agreement), from time to time, paid
by Landlord for the Properties.
C. Early Termination. Notwithstanding any term or provision to the
contrary contained herein, if either of the following events shall occur, this
Guaranty shall terminate in its entirety on the earlier to occur of:
(i) a transfer of any of the Properties by Landlord (other
than to any Affiliated Person as to Landlord) for which the Minimum Rent
Coverage determined solely for the Property(ies) being transferred exceeds the
Minimum Rent Coverage for the Collective Leased Properties for the then most
recently ended Fiscal Quarter; provided, however, any transfer to a Superior
Mortgagee pursuant to Article 20 of the Lease will not be deemed to be a
transfer pursuant to this subsection (i), or
(ii) a transfer of any of the Properties by Landlord to a
Person who meets any one of the criteria set forth in Section 15.1(i), (ii),
(iii) or (iv) of the Lease.
Within fifteen (15) Business Days of its receipt of
hereinafter described Notice from Landlord, Guarantor hereby agrees that it will
give Notice to Landlord whether or not Guarantor would declare this Guaranty
terminated due to the occurrence of either event set forth hereinabove. Any
Notice from Landlord must contain such information as may be reasonably
necessary for Guarantor to determine if either event would occur, including all
information necessary for Guarantor to determine if the events set forth in
Section 15.1(i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of the Lease would occur.

Landlord and any and all notices and demands of every kind and description which
may be required to be given by any statute or rule of law. Guarantor agrees that
the liability of Guarantor hereunder shall in no way be affected, diminished, or

Landlord shall cause Tenant to supply to Guarantor all information as Guarantor
may reasonably request in writing to aid Guarantor in determining the Aggregate
Amount Funded, Minimum Rent Coverage and Cash Available for Lease Payment.

until payment at the Disbursement Rate. Guarantor's covenants and agreements set
forth in this section shall survive the termination of this Guaranty.
SECTION 7
CLAIMS BY GUARANTOR AGAINST TENANT
Nothing hereunder contained shall operate as a release or discharge, in
whole or in part, of any claim of Guarantor against Tenant by subrogation or
otherwise, by reason of any act done or any payment made by Guarantor pursuant

the claims of Landlord.

modification or amendment (whether material or otherwise) of any duty, agreement
or obligation of Tenant set forth in any of the Leases, or the voluntary or
involuntary sale or other disposition of all or substantially all the assets of
Tenant or insolvency, bankruptcy, or other similar proceedings affecting Tenant
or any assets of Tenant, or the release or discharge of Tenant from the
performance or observance of any agreement, covenant, term or condition
contained in any agreement, covenant term or condition in any of the foregoing
by operation of law, or any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to the
foregoing.

or any other person with respect to the Guaranteed Rent prior to the payment in
full of the obligations of Tenant under the Leases shall have been paid and
performed in full, Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation, and Guarantor
waives any defense it may have based upon any election of remedies by Landlord
which destroys Guarantor's subrogation rights or Guarantor's rights to proceed
against Tenant for reimbursement, (including, without limitation, any loss of
rights Guarantor may suffer by reason of any rights, powers or remedies of
Tenant in connection with any anti-deficiency laws or any other laws limiting,
qualifying or discharging the indebtedness to Landlord).
E. Remedies Cumulative. No remedy herein conferred upon Landlord is
intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be
cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now
or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.
F. HPT's Liability. THE DECLARATION OF TRUST ESTABLISHING HPT, A COPY
OF WHICH, TOGETHER WITH ALL AMENDMENTS THERETO (THE
-11-
