SECTION

GUARANTY
A. |
Subject
to the terms, provisions and limitations of this Guaranty, Guarantor
hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Landlord
the full, complete and timely payment to Landlord of all Minimum Rent,
Percentage Rent, and applicable Late Charges (collectively, “Guaranteed
Rent”)
as and when such amounts become due and payable in accordance with the
Hotel Lease during the Guaranty Term, without deduction, reduction or
credit 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 Hotel
Lease); provided, however, that the Aggregate Amount Funded shall in no
event exceed the Guaranty Funding Limit. Subject to the terms, provisions
and limitations of this Guaranty, this Guaranty is an absolute,
irrevocable and unconditional guaranty of payment. For purposes hereof,
and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Hotel Lease,
it is expressly understood and agreed that the Guaranteed Rent guaranteed
hereunder shall not include any sums for damages arising from an Event of
Default or termination of the Hotel Lease, specifically including damages
computed on the basis of the acceleration of any Rent due under the Hotel
Lease, it being understood and agreed that Guarantor’s agreement to pay
Guaranteed Rent hereunder shall not exceed the amount of Minimum Rent,
Percentage Rent and applicable Late Charges payable during the Guaranty
Term in accordance with the Hotel Lease. Any defense, claim, counterclaim
or offset that would be available to Tenant under the Hotel Lease or
applicable law arising as a result of Landlord’s failure to mitigate
damages pursuant to the terms of Section 12.2 of the Hotel Lease shall,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 16.A hereof,
likewise be available to and for the benefit of Guarantor (but Landlord’s
failure to mitigate damages will not serve as a basis, standing alone, for
termination of this Guaranty). | ||
B. |
Guarantor
shall pay the Guaranteed Rent, in amounts required hereunder, within ten
(10) Business Days after Landlord provides notice hereunder to Guarantor
of Tenant’s failure to pay such amounts; provided, however, that in the
event of an Exercise of Rights or Repossession, the above-referenced
period of “ten (10) Business Days” shall be “twenty (20) Business
Days.”
During
the course of each Fiscal Year, the Guaranteed Rent and the Amount Funded
will be calculated for each Accounting Period within such Fiscal Year (on
a cumulative basis for all Accounting Periods then elapsed during such
Fiscal Year). The actual Guaranteed Rent and Amount Funded shall be
trued-up and adjusted after each Accounting Period (and after each Fiscal
Year), based on the actual cumulative Minimum Rent, Percentage Rent, Late
Charges and Cash Available for Lease Payments through such Accounting
Period (or through the end of such Fiscal Year, as the case may be).
Guarantor and Landlord shall cooperate with respect to each such true-up
calculation and shall promptly share all calculations and determinations
relating thereto or resulting therefrom. | ||
1. |
If
any such true-up calculation demonstrates that Guarantor overfunded the
Guaranteed Rent during the applicable period, Landlord shall repay to
Guarantor the
amount of such overfunding (any such repaid amount, or offset and reduced
amount, as provided herein, the “Repaid
Amount”)
within five (5) Business Days after the first to occur of (i) Landlord’s
actual knowledge of the occurrence of such overfunding and the amount
thereof, or (ii) Landlord’s receipt of notice from Guarantor identifying
the amount of such overfunding; provided, however, in lieu of such
payment, Guarantor may, at its election, upon notice to Landlord, offset
and reduce (or cause Tenant to offset and reduce) the amount of Guaranteed
Rent otherwise payable by Guarantor hereunder (or by Tenant under the
Lease, as the case may be) by the amount of such overfunding or any
portion thereof. The parties agree that (a) the total amount of the Amount
Funded shall be reduced by any such Repaid Amount; (b) such Repaid Amount
shall be treated, for purposes of this Guaranty, as if it was never funded
by Guarantor; and (c) such Repaid Amount shall not be included in the
calculation of Aggregate Amount Funded for purposes of determining whether
the Guaranty Funding Limit has been reached pursuant to Section 3.A.1
hereof. | ||
2. |
If
any such true-up calculation demonstrates that Guarantor underfunded the
Guaranteed Rent during the applicable period, Guarantor shall pay to
Landlord the amount of any such underfunding (any such additional payment,
the “Additional
Funded Amount”)
within five (5) Business Days after the first to occur of (i) Guarantor’s
or (except in the case of an Exercise of Rights or a Repossession)
Tenant’s actual knowledge of the occurrence of such underfunding and the
amount thereof, or (ii) Guarantor’s receipt of notice from Landlord
identifying the amount of such underfunding. Landlord’s failure to provide
such notice with respect to Additional Funded Amounts within any specific
time period shall not be a waiver of Landlord’s rights under this
Guaranty. The parties agree that any amounts funded by Guarantor as
Additional Funded Amounts shall be added to, and shall be treated for all
purposes hereunder as, Amount Funded. | ||
3. |
Notwithstanding
anything in this Section 2.B to the contrary, nothing herein shall require
(or be deemed to require) Guarantor to pay any Percentage Rent prior to
the time such Percentage Rent is payable in accordance with the provisions
of the Hotel Lease. | ||
4
C. |
In
the event Guarantor and Tenant should each pay the same Guaranteed Rent to
Landlord
(i.e.,
Guarantor funds a portion of the Guaranteed Rent pursuant to the
provisions hereof and Tenant funds the same amounts from the Hotel
Property), (i) Landlord
shall
return to Guarantor the amounts that were paid by Guarantor within five
(5) Business Days after the first to occur of (a) Landlord’s actual
knowledge of the occurrence of such payment and the amount thereof, or (b)
Landlord’s receipt of notice from Guarantor identifying the amount of such
payment; (ii) the total amount of the Amount Funded shall be reduced by
any such repaid amounts; (iii) such repaid amounts shall be treated, for
purposes of this Guaranty, as if they were never funded by Guarantor; and
(iv) such repaid amounts shall not be included in the calculation of
Aggregate Amount Funded for purposes of determining whether the Guaranty
Funding Limit has been reached pursuant to Section 3.A.1
hereof. |
D. |
Subject
to the terms, provisions and limitations of this Guaranty, this Guaranty
is a continuing Guaranty and shall remain in full force and effect until
the indefeasible satisfaction and discharge in full of Guarantor’s
obligations hereunder. |
SECTION
3
GUARANTY
TERM
A. |
The
term of this Guaranty (the “Guaranty
Term”)
shall be the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the
earliest to occur of: | |
1. |
the
first date on which the Aggregate Amount Funded equals the Guaranty
Funding Limit, subject to the provisions of Section 3.C below;
| |
2. |
December
31, 2006; | |
3. |
the
date on which any Transfer of the fee interest in the Hotel Property
occurs to any Person that is not an Affiliate of CNL, or any other
Transfer of the Hotel Property occurs in violation of Section 15 of the
Hotel Lease; | |
4. |
the
date on which Landlord is a Person which is not an Affiliate of CNL, or
any sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition, for value or
otherwise, voluntary or involuntary, by merger, operation of law or
otherwise, in a single transaction or a series of transactions, of any
interest in Landlord or any Person having an interest, directly or
indirectly, in Landlord, occurs in violation of Section 15 of the Hotel
Lease; or |
5
5. |
the
date on which a termination of the Hotel Lease occurs pursuant to the
terms of the Hotel Lease, other than a termination due to an Event of
Default by Tenant (except that Minimum Rent and applicable Late Charges
accrued up to the date of such termination and unpaid shall be and remain
guaranteed amounts hereunder until paid). | |
B. |
To
confirm that the Aggregate Amount Funded equals or exceeds the Guaranty
Funding Limit, Guarantor shall send a notice (the “Guaranty
Funding Limit Notice”)
to Landlord, which notice shall include (a) a certificate of an officer of
Guarantor affirming the accuracy and completeness of the Aggregate Amount
Funded determination of Guarantor, and (b) a copy of the calculation of
the Aggregate Amount Funded determination of Guarantor. Landlord, at its
sole cost and expense (except as provided hereinbelow), shall be entitled
to perform an independent audit to confirm the accuracy of any such
determination submitted by Guarantor, provided Landlord provides notice to
Guarantor of its intent to perform such audit within ninety (90) days
after Guarantor’s giving of the Guaranty Funding Limit Notice to Landlord.
If Landlord timely notifies Guarantor of its intent to audit, such audit
shall be commenced not later than ninety (90) days after Landlord’s giving
of notice of its intent to audit to Guarantor, and completed within a
commercially reasonable period of time thereafter; provided, however, that
Landlord shall have such longer period to complete such audit as may be
reasonably required as a result of Guarantor’s or its Affiliates’ failure
or delay in cooperating, as reasonably requested by Landlord, in
connection with such audit. If such independent audit establishes that the
Aggregate Amount Funded did not equal or exceed the Guaranty Funding
Limit, the Guaranty Term shall not end pursuant to Section 3.A.1, but
shall continue, subject nevertheless to all of the terms and conditions
hereof (including without limitation Section 3.A) and the reasonable
third-party costs of such audit shall be borne by
Guarantor. | |
C. |
The
parties acknowledge that, based on the foregoing provisions, it is
possible that the Guaranty Term will expire in the middle of a Fiscal Year
pursuant to Section 3.A.1, but that, based on a subsequent Accounting
Period or Fiscal Year true-up undertaken pursuant to Section 2.B with
respect to such Fiscal Year and a resulting payment of a Repaid Amount,
the Aggregate Amount Funded will again be reduced below the Guaranty
Funding Limit (such occurrence, a “Retroactive
Reduction Event”).
The parties agree that, upon the occurrence of a Retroactive Reduction
Event, the following shall occur: | |
1. |
The
provisions of this Guaranty shall apply retroactively to the period (the
“Retroactive
Period”)
between (i) the date on which the Guaranty Term initially expired pursuant
to Section 3.A.1 and (ii) the earlier to occur of (x) the date on which
the Guaranty Term again expires pursuant to the reapplication of the
provisions of Section 3.A (and subject to the reapplication of Section
3.C) or (y) the last day of (as applicable) the Accounting Period or the
Fiscal Year for which the true-up described in the first paragraph of
Section 3.C occurred. |
6
2. |
If
the Retroactive Period does not expire pursuant to Section 3.C.1(ii)(x)
above, the Guaranty Term shall again become effective commencing with the
first (1st)
Accounting Period immediately following (as applicable) the Accounting
Period or the Fiscal Year for which the true-up described in the first
paragraph of Section 3.C occurred and shall remain in effect subject to
the reapplication of the provisions of Section 3.A. | |
3. |
If
(i) the Retroactive Period expires pursuant to Section 3.C.1(ii)(x) above,
or (ii) the Fiscal Year true-up undertaken pursuant to Section 2.B with
respect to the Fiscal Year during which the Guaranty Term initially
expired pursuant to Section 3.A.1 (or subsequently expires pursuant to
Section 3.C.1 and this Section 3.C.3) determines that, based on actual
results for such Fiscal Year, the Aggregate Amount Funded by Guarantor
through such Fiscal Year equaled or exceeded the Guaranty Funding Limit,
then the provisions of Section 3.C.2 shall not be
effective. | |
SECTION
4
CONSENT
TO HOTEL LEASE
Guarantor
hereby unconditionally acknowledges, agrees and consents to the terms, covenants
and conditions of the Hotel Lease.
SECTION
5
WAIVERS
BY GUARANTOR
Guarantor
hereby waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty by 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 released by (i)
any forbearance or indulgence which may be granted to Tenant (or to any
successor thereto or to any Person which shall have assumed the obligations
thereof), or (ii) any waiver or amendment of any term, covenant or condition in
the Hotel Lease, or (iii) the acceptance of additional security.
7
SECTION
6
ENFORCEMENT
A. |
Subject
to the terms and provisions of this Section, Guarantor agrees that this
Guaranty may be enforced by Landlord without enforcing any rights it may
have against any other Person or any collateral or against Guarantor under
any separate agreement. Guarantor further agrees that nothing herein
contained shall prevent Landlord from suing on the Hotel Lease, or from
exercising any other right available to Landlord under the Hotel Lease.
The exercise of any of the aforementioned rights shall not constitute a
legal or equitable discharge of Guarantor, it being the purpose and intent
of Guarantor that its obligations under this Guaranty shall be absolute
and unconditional until the termination of this Guaranty pursuant to the
terms of this Guaranty. Guarantor’s covenants and agreements set forth in
this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of this
Guaranty. | |
B. |
Guarantor
agrees, as principal obligor and not as a guarantor only, to pay to
Landlord forthwith upon demand, in immediately available funds, all costs
and expenses to third parties (including court costs and reasonable legal
fees and expenses) incurred or expended by Landlord in connection with the
enforcement of this Guaranty, together with interest on amounts
recoverable under this Guaranty, from the time such amounts become due
until payment, at the Overdue Rate. Guarantor’s covenants and agreements
set forth in this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of
this Guaranty and shall be due and payable notwithstanding, and may in
fact exceed, any and all limits set forth in this
Guaranty. | |
C. |
Notwithstanding
any term or provision contained in this Guaranty to the contrary, in the
event Landlord or any other Person shall become the record or beneficial
owner of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of Tenant, pursuant to
the exercise of rights (the “Exercise
of Rights”)
contained in that certain Stock Pledge Agreement dated November 15, 1999
between Courtyard Management Corporation, a Delaware corporation, as
pledgor, and Landlord, as pledgee, or upon the repossession and/or
reletting of the Hotel Property by or on behalf of Landlord (“Repossession”),
this Guaranty shall be modified, effective as of the date which is the
earlier of (x) the date of the Exercise of Rights and (y) the date of the
Repossession, as follows: | |
1. |
For
purposes of determining the amount of Guaranteed Rent for which Guarantor
is liable hereunder, Tenant shall be conclusively deemed to have paid to
Landlord all of the Cash Available for Lease Payments for the Hotel
Property; | |
2. |
Landlord
shall cause Tenant (or, in the event of a Repossession, any other party in
control of the Hotel Property) to supply to Guarantor all information as
Guarantor may reasonably request in writing to aid Guarantor in
determining the Amount Funded and Cash Available for Lease
Payments; |
8
3. |
Landlord
shall thereafter pay to Guarantor any Security Deposit (not theretofore
applied by Landlord in accordance with the terms of the Hotel Lease) at
such time or times as, and to the extent that, such Security Deposit would
otherwise be owing and due to Tenant, its successors or assigns, subject
to the provisions of the Hotel Lease; and | |
4. |
Guarantor’s
obligation to pay Late Charges shall be limited to those Late Charges
which accrue only from and after the twentieth (20th)
Business Day following notice of the non-payment of Rent as provided in
Section 2.B hereof. |
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 to the
provisions of this Guaranty; but all such claims shall be subordinate to the
claims of Landlord.
SECTION
8
FAILURE
TO FUND BY GUARANTOR
If
Guarantor is required to provide funds to Landlord pursuant to this Guaranty and
fails to do so at such time Guarantor is required to do so hereunder, Landlord
may provide Guarantor with a default notice (a “Default
Notice”).
Interest at the Overdue Rate shall accrue and be due and owing by Guarantor to
Landlord for any Guaranteed Rent not paid when due (which interest shall accrue
from the date on which such amounts were required to be funded hereunder until
the date on which such amounts are actually funded). If Guarantor fails to
provide to Landlord the funds it is required to provide pursuant to this
Guaranty within four (4) Business Days after receiving a Default Notice (a
“Cure
Period”), any
default of Landlord under the Hotel Lease, or any other agreement between
Landlord, Guarantor and/or Tenant, to the extent caused by such Guarantor
default, shall be deemed waived until such time as Guarantor has cured such
non-payment by Guarantor. Landlord’s
failure to provide a Default Notice with respect to amounts required to be
funded by Guarantor hereunder within any specific time period shall not be a
waiver of Landlord’s rights under this Guaranty at such time as it does provide
a Default Notice with respect to such amounts. Guarantor’s covenants and
agreements set forth in this Section shall survive the expiration or termination
of this Guaranty.
9
SECTION

shall be in writing and delivered by hand against receipt or sent by certified
or registered mail or Express Mail service, postage prepaid, return receipt
requested or by nationally utilized overnight delivery service, addressed to the

payment or other performance required by any such instrument is made or required
to be made; or (iii) where any breach of any provision of any such instrument
occurs, or any cause of action otherwise accrues; or (iv) where any action or
other proceeding is instituted or pending; or (v) the nationality, citizenship,

benefit of each of their respective permitted successors and assigns. All the
rights of the parties herein are cumulative and not alternative and may be
enforced successively or concurrently. Failure of any party to exercise any of
its rights shall not be deemed a waiver thereof, and no waiver of any of a

covenants, and conditions of, or imposed upon, each party herein shall be
binding upon the permitted successors and assigns of such
party.

for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect
(an “Unlawful
Provision”), such

the affected provision) of this Guaranty, but this Guaranty shall be construed
as if such Unlawful Provision had never been a part of this Guaranty unless such
Unlawful Provision materially affects the benefits and burdens anticipated by
the parties in entering into this Guaranty.

A. |
Unenforceability
of Guaranteed Obligations, Etc. If
Tenant is for any reason (other than by reason of any written waiver or
discharge) under no legal obligation to pay any of the Guaranteed Rent, or

unrecoverable from Tenant by operation of law or for any other reason, the
obligations of Guarantor contained in this Guaranty shall nevertheless
remain in full force and effect and shall be binding upon
Guarantor. |

any default, breach or nonperformance or any Default or Event of Default
with respect to any of the Guaranteed Rent under the Hotel Lease, (b)
demand for performance or observance of, and any enforcement of any
provision of, or any pursuit or exhaustion of rights or remedies against
Tenant, under or pursuant to the Hotel Lease, or any agreement directly or
indirectly relating thereto and any requirements of diligence or
promptness on the part of Landlord in connection therewith, and (c) to the
extent Guarantor lawfully may do so, any and all demand and notices of
every kind and description with respect to the foregoing or which may be
required to be given by any statute or rule of law and any defense of any
kind which it may now or hereafter have with respect to this Guaranty, the
Hotel Lease or the Guaranteed Rent guaranteed hereunder; provided,
however, that after any Exercise of Rights by Landlord, Landlord shall not
amend the Hotel Lease to increase the amount of Guaranteed Rent payable
thereunder, or the dates on which such Guaranteed Rent becomes due, or any
other provisions of the Hotel Lease affecting the payment (or non-payment)
of Guaranteed Rent, or affecting Landlord’s duty to mitigate damages
thereunder, without Guarantor’s prior written consent, and Landlord shall
give Guarantor copies of any Notices of Default given pursuant to the

C. |
No
Impairment.
The obligations, covenants, agreements and duties of Guarantor under this
Guaranty shall not be affected or impaired by any waiver by Landlord of
all of the Guaranteed Rent or the performance or observance by Tenant of
any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in the
Hotel Lease or any indulgence in or the extension of the time for payment
or performance by Tenant of any amounts payable under or in connection
with the Hotel Lease or any other instrument or agreement relating to the
Guaranteed Rent or of the time for performance by Tenant of any other
obligations under or arising out of any of the foregoing or the extension
or renewal thereof, or the modification or amendment (whether material or
otherwise) of any duty, agreement or obligation of Tenant set forth in the
Hotel Lease (subject to the proviso in Section 16.B applicable after any
Exercise of Rights by Landlord), 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 contained in any
of the foregoing by operation of law, or any other cause, whether similar
or dissimilar to the foregoing. |
D. |
Reimbursement,
Subrogation, Etc.
Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not enforce or
otherwise exercise any rights of reimbursement, subrogation, contribution
or other similar rights against Tenant or any other Person with respect to
the Guaranteed Rent prior to the payment in full of the obligations of
Tenant under the Hotel Lease. Until all obligations of Tenant under the
Hotel Lease 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). If,
notwithstanding such waiver, any funds shall be paid or transferred to
Guarantor on account of such subrogation, contribution, or other similar
rights at any time when all of the obligations of Tenant have not been
paid in full, Guarantor shall hold such funds in trust for Landlord and
shall forthwith pay over Landlord such funds to be applied by Landlord to
the obligations of Tenant. |
E. |
Continuing
Enforcement.
If, after receipt of any payment under this Guaranty, Landlord is
compelled or agrees, for settlement purposes, to surrender such payment to
any Person relating to Guarantor’s insolvency, bankruptcy or inability to
pay its debts as they become due or as a direct result of Guarantor’s
actions (including, without limitation, a determination that such payment
is void or voidable as a preference or fraudulent conveyance, an
impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds), Guarantor’s
obligation to fund under this Guaranty shall continue (subject to such
other limitations as are set forth herein) as if the payment (which was so
surrendered) had not been made. The provisions of this Section shall
survive the termination of this Guaranty. |
F. |
Remedies
Cumulative.
No remedy herein conferred upon a party hereto 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 (including, without limitation, the
right to seek the remedy of specific performance) or by statute or
otherwise. |
G. |
Entire
Agreement.
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto
with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede and take the
place of any other instruments purporting to be an agreement
of the parties hereto relating to the subject matter
hereof. |
