2. The Revenue Index of the Hotel for such Fiscal Year is less than the Revenue Index Threshold.

B. Owner shall have the option to terminate this Agreement if during the sixth (6^th) Fiscal Year or any Fiscal Year thereafter any of the following occur:

1. Operating Profit for any such Fiscal Year is insufficient to pay to Owner the full amount of Owner’s Priority for such Fiscal Year; or

2. The Revenue Index of the Hotel for such Fiscal Year is less than the Revenue Index Threshold.

Except as expressly provided in the preceding sentence of this Section 2.02E, Manager shall not have any right to avoid termination without the prior written consent of Owner.

ARTICLE III
COMPENSATION OF MANAGER

3.01. Management Fees.

In consideration of services to be performed during the Term, Manager shall be paid the sum of the following as its management fees:

A. the Base Management Fee, which shall be retained by Manager from Gross Revenues; plus

B. the Incentive Management Fee but only to the extent of available Operating Profit after payment of Owner’s Priority (including, without limitation, all accrued and unpaid Owner’s Priority) as provided in Section 3.02 below.

3.02. Operating Profit.

A. Operating Profit, to the extent available, shall be distributed to Owner and to Manager in the following order of priority, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement:

1. Any accrued but unpaid Base Management Fee payable in respect of any prior Accounting Period shall be paid to Manager;

2. An amount up to the maximum amount of Owner’s Priority shall be paid to Owner;

3. The Incentive Management Fee shall be paid to Manager; and

4. Any remaining balance of Operating Profit shall be paid to Owner.

Owner’s Priority shall not be cumulative from one Fiscal Year to the next, and to the extent the maximum amount of Owner’s Priority is unpaid in any Fiscal Year, such unpaid amount shall not accrue or be payable in any subsequent Fiscal Year. The Incentive Management Fee for each Fiscal Year will be payable to Manager, in quarterly installments at the end of each calendar quarter, based upon the projected Incentive Management Fee provided for in the approved Annual Operating Projection for such Fiscal Year, calculated and adjusted quarterly using actual operating results to date for such Fiscal Year and projected Operating Profit for the remainder of such Fiscal Year as provided for in the approved Annual Operating Projection. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Manager acknowledges and agrees that (i) Base Management Fees are payable monthly within thirty (30) days after the end of each Accounting Period during the Term; (ii) estimated and unpaid Incentive Management Fees for the remainder of any Fiscal Year shall be adjusted at the end of each calendar quarter in such Fiscal Year based upon the actual operating results to date for such Fiscal Year, with all final adjustments to be made (and payment made to Owner or Manager, as applicable, any amount payable by Manager to a Manager’s Liability) annually within thirty (30) days after Owner’s receipt and acceptance of the Annual Operating Statement; (iii) Incentive Management Fees are payable only to the extent of available Operating Profit after payment in

full of Owner’s Priority; and (iv) in no event shall Incentive Management Fees accrue or be deemed to accrue.

B. To the extent of available Operating Profit with respect to each Accounting Period, Manager shall distribute a prorated portion of the Owner’s Priority (including any accrued and unpaid Owner’s Priority) to Owner for each such Accounting Period in accordance with Section 4.01.

C. During any period of discontinued or reduced operations of the Hotel or any part thereof as a result of damage, destruction or condemnation that does not result in a termination of this Agreement and during repair or restoration thereafter, Owner shall pay to Manager for each Accounting Period, in lieu of any Base Management Fee and/or Incentive Management Fee that might otherwise be payable under this Agreement, an amount equal to the higher of (a) the Base Management Fee for such Accounting Period that would be payable pursuant to Section 3.01A treating business interruption insurance proceeds and/or condemnation proceeds as Gross Revenues or (b) the Base Management Fee and Incentive Management Fee (if any) for such Accounting Period that would have been payable if the Hotel had achieved the projected operating results set forth in the approved Annual Operating Projection. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will any Base Management Fees, Incentive Management Fees or management fees in lieu thereof accrue or be payable by Owner to Manager in excess of the amount included as management fees in any business interruption proceeds received by Owner in respect of such Accounting Period.

3.03. Accounting Fee.

Manager will perform certain data processing and accounting functions for the Hotel at Manager’s headquarters or central office using personnel that are not employed at the Hotel. In consideration of Manager’s performance of these data processing and accounting functions for the benefit of the Hotel, Owner will pay to Manager on a monthly basis the Accounting Fee, which Accounting Fee shall be prorated for any partial month and may be withheld by Manager from Gross Revenues.

ARTICLE IV
ACCOUNTING, BOOKKEEPING AND BANK ACCOUNTS

4.01. Accounting, Distributions and Annual Reconciliation.

A. Within fifteen (15) days after the close of each Accounting Period, Manager shall deliver an interim accounting (the “Accounting Period Statement”) to Owner, prepared in accordance with the Uniform System of Accounts, showing Gross Revenues, Deductions, Operating Profit and applications and distributions thereof for the preceding Accounting Period and any other information reasonably requested by Owner. Manager shall transfer to Owner, with each Accounting Period Statement, any interim amounts due Owner, subject to Working Capital needs reasonably proposed by Manager and approved by Owner, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, and shall retain any interim amounts payable to Manager pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

B. Calculations and payments of the Incentive Management Fee, the Base Management Fee and distributions of Operating Profit made with respect to each Accounting Period shall be accounted for cumulatively within a Fiscal Year, but shall not be cumulative from one Fiscal Year to the next. Within the SEC Filing Period, Manager shall deliver to Owner a statement (the “Annual Operating Statement”) in reasonable detail summarizing the operations of the Hotel for the immediately preceding Fiscal Year and a certificate of Manager’s chief accounting officer certifying that, to the best of his or her knowledge, such Annual Operating Statement is true and correct. The parties shall, within five (5) Business Days after Owner’s receipt of such Annual Operating 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 Annual Operating Statement. Such Annual Operating Statement shall be controlling over the preceding Accounting Period Statements.

C. To the extent there is an Operating Loss for any Accounting Period, no Base Management Fee shall be paid to or retained from Gross Revenues by Manager. Any Base Management Fee that would have been payable to Manager had there been an Operating Profit for such Accounting Period shall accrue (but not beyond the Term of this Agreement) and shall be payable to Manager as provided in Article III to the extent of Operating Profit in subsequent Accounting Periods.

To the extent there is an Operating Loss for any Accounting Period, additional funds in the amount of any such Operating Loss (other than the amount of any Base Management Fee) shall be provided by Owner within thirty (30) days after Manager has delivered written notice thereof to Owner. If Owner does not fund such Operating Loss within the thirty (30) day time period, Manager shall have the right after prior written notice to Owner (without affecting Manager’s other remedies under this Agreement) to withdraw an amount equal to such Operating Loss from future distributions of funds otherwise due to Owner. In the event an Operating Loss occurs for each of six (6) consecutive Accounting Periods during any Fiscal Year, Owner may elect to terminate this Agreement, provided that, in determining whether Owner has the option to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this sentence, to the extent the operating results of the Hotel were materially and quantifiably affected by Force Majeure affecting the Hotel or by major renovations to the Hotel, such operating results shall be equitably adjusted to amounts reasonably

projected absent such Force Majeure or major renovations, such adjustments to be substantiated by such evidence and reasonably detailed calculations provided by Manager to Owner as are reasonably acceptable to Owner.

4.02. Books and Records.

Books of control and account pertaining to operations at the Hotel shall be kept on the accrual basis and in all material respects in accordance with the Uniform System of Accounts. Owner may at reasonable intervals during Manager’s normal business hours examine such records. If Owner desires (at its own expense, except as provided below) to audit, examine or review the Annual Operating Statement, Owner shall notify Manager in writing within sixty (60) days after receipt of such Annual Operating Statement of its intention to audit and begin such audit no sooner than ten (10) days after Manager’s receipt of such notice and not later than sixty (60) days after Manager’s receipt of such notice. Owner shall use reasonable efforts to complete such audit within one hundred twenty (120) days after commencement thereof. If Owner does not make such an audit, then such Annual Operating Statement shall be deemed to be conclusively accepted by Owner as being correct, except in the event of manifest error or fraud, misrepresentation, misconduct or negligence by Manager or its agents, employees, representatives or contractors or other third parties. If any audit by Owner discloses an understatement of any amounts due Owner, Manager shall promptly pay Owner 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 any audit discloses that Manager has not received any amounts due it, Owner 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 have been paid. The cost of the audit shall be paid by Owner; provided, however, Manager shall pay for such cost if such audit discloses an underpayment to Owner for the Fiscal Year so audited of five percent (5%) or more of the amount that should have been paid to Owner for such Fiscal Year. In addition, if the Franchise Agreement requires Owner to pay interest and/or the cost of an audit to the franchisor on account of an understatement in reports provided by Manager, Manager shall pay such interest and costs in accordance with the Franchise Agreement without (either directly or indirectly) passing such charges on to Owner.

4.03. Accounts, Expenditures.

A. All funds derived from operation of the Hotel shall be deposited by Manager in Owner’s bank accounts (the “Operating Accounts”) established by Manager in a bank or banks designated by Manager with the concurrence of Owner. Withdrawals by Manager from said Operating Accounts shall be made solely by representatives of Manager, but only those representatives whose signatures have been authorized by Manager with the concurrence of Owner. Reasonable xxxxx cash funds shall be maintained at the Hotel.

B. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all payments made by Manager hereunder shall be made from the Operating Accounts, xxxxx cash funds, or from the Reserve (in accordance with Section 5.02). Manager shall not be required to make any advance or payment with respect to the Hotel except out of such funds, and Manager shall not be obligated to incur any liability or obligation with respect to the Hotel except as otherwise

provided in this Agreement (including, without limitation, pursuant to Sections 1.03, 3.02A, 3.03 and 10.10A) (each, “Manager’s Liability”, and, collectively, “Manager’s Liabilities”).

C. Debts and liabilities (other than Manager’s Liabilities) incurred by Manager as a result of its operation and management of the Hotel pursuant to the terms hereof, whether asserted before or after Termination, will be paid by Owner to the extent funds are not available for that purpose from Gross Revenues. Manager shall pay all of Manager’s Liabilities. The provisions of this Section 4.03C shall survive Termination.

4.04. Annual Operating Projection.

Manager shall deliver to Owner for its review, at least thirty (30) days prior to the beginning of each Fiscal Year after the first Fiscal Year following the Effective Date, a preliminary draft of the business plan (including a proposed budget) and a projection of the estimated Gross Revenues, departmental profits, Deductions, and Operating Profit for the forthcoming Fiscal Year for the Hotel (the “Annual Operating Projection”) for approval by Owner. Manager will consider in good faith suggestions made by Owner with respect to the Annual Operating Projection and make modifications thereto that are agreed upon by Owner and Manager. In the case of the Fiscal Year beginning on the Effective Date, Manager and Owner have already agreed upon the Annual Operating Projection for such Fiscal Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner shall not be entitled to withhold its approval of the Annual Operating Projection based solely on its objection to: (i) Manager’s reasonable projections of either Gross Revenues or the components thereof, (ii) Impositions, utility charges and similar charges determined by governmental authorities or providers whose rates cannot be controlled or negotiated by Manager, or (iii) increases in projected costs and expenses of operating the Hotel caused by projected increases in occupancy or use of Hotel facilities that are projected to increase Gross Revenues. Upon approval of the Annual Operating Projection by Owner and Manager, Manager in good faith shall use best efforts to adhere to such Annual Operating Projection. In the event Owner and Manager (each acting reasonably and in good faith in considering projections for operation of the Hotel pursuant to Prudent Industry Practice, the Franchise Agreement, any Qualified Mortgage affecting the Hotel and this Agreement) are unable to agree upon the Annual Operating Projection by the commencement of the Fiscal Year to which it relates, Owner or Manager may elect to terminate this Agreement by serving written notice to the other party, and this Agreement shall terminate as of the end of the second (2^nd) full Accounting Period following the date on which such party receives such notice of termination. Any such notice of termination shall be given not later than thirty (30) days after the end of the then-current Fiscal Year, provided that Owner shall have received the proposed Annual Operating Projection from Manager at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current Fiscal Year. Pending such termination, Manager shall operate the Hotel with respect to those categories that are in dispute based on the previous Fiscal Year’s approved Annual Operating Projection.

4.05. Working Capital.

The parties recognize that, as of the Effective Date, the level of Working Capital funds, which shall be held in the Operating Accounts, is reasonably believed to be reasonably sufficient for the operations of the Hotel, subject at all times to seasonal differences and changes in

circumstances after the Effective Date. To the extent the expenditure of additional Working Capital funds has been reasonably proposed by Manager and approved by Owner, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, Owner shall from time to time during the Term advance any such additional funds which Manager shall use to satisfy such needs of the Hotel as have been reasonably proposed by Manager and approved by Owner. If Owner does not so fund additional Working Capital as approved by Owner within thirty (30) days after receipt by Owner of a written request therefor from Manager, Manager shall have the right (without affecting Manager’s other remedies under this Agreement) to withdraw, after prior written notice to Owner, from future distributions of funds otherwise due to Owner an amount equal to the funds agreed upon by Owner and Manager for additional Working Capital. All funds so advanced for Working Capital shall be utilized by Manager for the purposes of this Agreement. In the event Owner and Manager are unable to agree upon the need for and/or amount of additional Working Capital within thirty (30) days after Owner’s receipt of a written notice from Manager of the need for additional funds for Working Capital, Owner shall have no obligation to fund additional Working Capital and Manager may elect to terminate this Agreement. Upon Termination, Manager shall immediately return the outstanding balance of the Working Capital to Owner.

4.06. Fixed Asset Supplies.

The parties further recognize that, as of the Effective Date, the level of funds for Fixed Asset Supplies is reasonably believed to be reasonably sufficient for the operations of the Hotel, subject at all times to seasonal differences and changes in circumstances after the Effective Date. Any additional funds which are necessary to maintain Fixed Asset Supplies at levels reasonably proposed by Manager and approved by Owner, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, as being necessary to satisfy the needs of the Hotel, shall be paid from available Gross Revenues or, at Owner’s election, funded by Owner within thirty (30) days after Owner’s approval of such additional funds and, in each case, shall be Deductions. Fixed Asset Supplies shall remain the property of Owner throughout the term of this Agreement and upon Termination.

4.07. Real Estate and Personal Property Taxes.

A. Except as specifically set forth in Section 4.07.B below, all real estate and personal property taxes, levies, assessments (including special assessments (regardless of when due or whether they are paid as a lump sum or in installments over time) imposed because of facilities that are constructed by or on behalf of the assessing jurisdiction (for example, roads, sidewalks, sewers, culverts, etc.) which directly benefit the Hotel (regardless of whether or not they also benefit other buildings)), “Impact Fees” (regardless of when due or whether they are paid as a lump sum or in installments over time) which are required of Owner as a condition to the issuance of zoning variances or building permits, and similar charges on or relating to the Hotel (collectively, “Impositions”) during the Term shall be paid by Manager from Gross Revenues, before any fine, penalty, or interest is added thereto or lien placed upon the Hotel or upon this Agreement, unless payment thereof is in good faith being contested and enforcement thereof is stayed. Any such payments shall be Deductions in determining Operating Profit. Owner shall, within five (5) days after receipt, furnish Manager with copies of official tax bills and assessments which it may receive with respect to the Hotel. Either Landlord, Owner or Manager with the concurrence of Owner (in which case Owner agrees to sign, and cause Landlord to sign, the required applications and otherwise reasonably cooperate with Manager in

expediting the matter) may, and at Owner’s request Manager shall, initiate proceedings to contest any negotiations or proceedings with respect to 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. Manager shall, as part of its contest or negotiation of any Imposition, be entitled, on Owner’s and Landlord’s behalf, to waive any applicable statute of limitations in order to avoid paying the Imposition during the pendency of any proceedings or negotiations with applicable authorities. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, at Owner’s option (i) Manager shall establish an escrow account in the name of Owner in a bank or banks designated by Manager with the concurrence of Owner and shall deposit monthly into such account from Gross Revenues an amount that Manager reasonably estimates shall be sufficient to pay the Impositions, in which case Manager shall pay the Impositions from funds in the escrow account as and when the Impositions become due (and Owner shall promptly deposit into the escrow account any deficiency if the estimated monthly payments are not sufficient to pay all of the Impositions) or (ii) the amounts that would otherwise be deposited into such escrow account shall be included in the Operating Profit, not deducted from Gross Revenues and shall be distributed in cash to Owner along with the remainder of the Owner’s Priority. If Owner elects to retain such amounts pursuant to clause (ii) above, Manager shall accrue such amounts as a reserve on the accounting records of the Hotel, and Owner shall fund the same as and when the Impositions become due, but such accrued and unfunded amounts shall be deducted from Gross Revenues for purposes of calculating the Incentive Management Fee. In addition, if any Mortgagee requires the establishment of an escrow account with respect to the Impositions, Manager shall comply with such requirements, and the amounts so escrowed shall be applied to Impositions in accordance with such Mortgagee’s requirements and any amounts so escrowed shall be Deductions.

B. The word “Impositions” as used in this Agreement shall not include any franchise, corporate, estate, inheritance, succession, capital levy or transfer tax or other assessment or payment in lieu thereof imposed on Owner or Manager, or any income tax imposed on any income of Owner or Manager (including distributions to Owner or Manager pursuant to Article III hereof), all of which shall be paid solely by Owner or Manager, as applicable, not from Gross Revenues nor from the Reserve.

4.08. Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Certification.

A. Owner may, in connection with its or any of its Affiliate’s annual or quarterly Securities and Exchange Commission reporting requirements (and in any event no more than four (4) times in any Fiscal Year), request that Manager deliver to Owner or its Affiliate a certificate from an accounting officer of Manager, in a form approved by Manager’s accounting firm, certifying that, to his or her knowledge, the information contained in the Accounting Period Statements for the Accounting Periods contained within the applicable Fiscal Year or quarter are true and correct in all material respects, subject to final adjustment based on the annual review conducted by Manager in preparing the Annual Operating Statement. Owner shall submit such request in writing, along with the date by which such certificate is to be delivered, not less than five (5) business days prior to the requested delivery date, and Manager shall deliver the certificate by the requested date or, if later, within five (5) business days after Manager’s receipt of Owner’s request.

B. In connection with Owner’s or its Affiliates’ certifications under Section 404 (“Section 404”) of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, Owner or such Affiliate shall have the right, at its option:

1. Either (i) to require Manager to document its processes and related internal controls for Owner or such Affiliate to use in its required documentation under Section 404 or (ii) to have access to Manager’s books and records relating to the Hotel (including, without limitation, reasonable access to Manager’s premises) to document Manager’s processes and related internal controls; and

2. Either (i) to require testing by Manager of the controls identified in clause 1 above or (ii) to have access to Manager’s books and records relating to the Hotel (including, without limitation, reasonable access to Manager’s premises) to permit Owner or such Affiliate to test the controls identified in clause 1 above.

Manager shall provide Owner’s or such Affiliates’ independent auditors access to Manager’s books and records relating to the Hotel (including, without limitation, access to Manager’s premises) to conduct their audit of the testing performed pursuant to this Section 4.08. If Owner or such Affiliate determine such controls have weaknesses which should be mentioned in Owner’s or such Affiliates’ report on internal controls under Section 404 or other certifications under the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, Manager shall use best efforts to remedy and/or correct identified weaknesses in a timely manner.

ARTICLE V
REPAIRS, MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENTS

5.01. Repairs and Maintenance to be Paid from Gross Revenues.

Subject to the availability of adequate funds, Manager shall maintain the Hotel in good repair and condition, use best efforts to comply with and abide by all applicable Legal Requirements pertaining to its operation of the Hotel and shall make or cause to be made such routine maintenance, repairs and minor alterations as it determines are necessary for such purposes and as required pursuant to the terms of the Franchise Agreement or by Owner. The phrase “routine maintenance, repairs, and minor alterations” as used in this Section 5.01 shall include only those which are normally expensed under generally accepted accounting principles. The cost of such maintenance, repairs and alterations shall be paid from Gross Revenues (and not from the Reserve) and shall be treated as a Deduction.

5.02. Repairs, Maintenance and Equipment Replacements to be Paid from Reserve.

A. A reserve account in the name and under the control of Owner (the “Reserve”) shall be established by Manager in a bank or similar institution reasonably acceptable to both Manager and Owner, to cover the cost of:

1. Replacements, renewals and additions to the FF&E at the Hotel; and

2. Routine Capital Expenditures.

B. Manager shall deposit funds in the Reserve as provided in Item 3 of Schedule 1. Transfers into the Reserve shall be made at the time of each interim accounting described in Section 4.01 hereof. 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 5.02.A.

C. Subject to the availability of adequate funds, Manager shall from time to time make such (1) replacements and renewals to the FF&E of the Hotel, and (2) Routine Capital Expenditures, as may be provided for in the approved Annual Operating Projection, as may be agreed upon by Owner and Manager or as may be required by the Franchise Agreement. Except as may be required by the Franchise Agreement, no expenditures will be made in excess of the balance of the Reserve without the approval of Owner. At the end of each Fiscal Year, any amounts remaining in the Reserve shall be carried forward to the next Fiscal Year. Proceeds from the sale of FF&E no longer necessary to the operation of the Hotel 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 (x) proceeds from the disposition of FF&E, nor (y) 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 Section 5.02.B above, nor (b) be included in Gross Revenues. Withdrawals by Manager from the Reserve may be made in accordance with the approved Annual Operating Projection only by representatives of Manager whose signatures have been authorized by Manager with the concurrence of Owner.

D. All repairs, alterations, improvements, renewals or replacements made pursuant to this Article V, and all amounts kept in the Reserve, shall be the property of Owner, subject to Manager’s rights to apply such funds as otherwise provided in this Agreement. In addition and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no funds shall be expended for replacements, renewals and additions to the FF&E, for Routine Capital Expenditures or for any other capital expenditures unless each such expenditure is included in the approved Annual Operating Projection or is necessary in an emergency to protect or preserve the Hotel or the health and safety of Hotel employees, guests or customers. If Owner elects to use Manager’s construction management services for construction projects in connection with any Routine Capital Expenditures or other non-emergency alterations or improvements, Owner will pay Manager such construction management fee as may be agreed upon by the parties.

E. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, upon the mutual agreement of Owner and Manager, the amounts that would otherwise be deposited into the Reserve pursuant to this Section 5.02 shall be included in the Operating Profit, not deducted from Gross Revenues and shall be distributed in cash to Owner along with the remainder of the Owner’s Priority. In such case, Manager shall accrue such amounts as a reserve on the accounting records of the Hotel, and Owner shall fund the same only when required under this Agreement to cover the appropriate costs actually incurred. If Owner does not so fund such amounts within thirty (30) days after Owner is required to do so under this Agreement, Manager shall have the right after prior written notice to Owner (without affecting Manager’s other remedies under this Agreement) to withdraw from future distributions of funds otherwise due to Owner an amount equal to such amount required to be so funded by Owner. However, such accrued and unfunded reserves shall be deducted from Gross Revenues for purposes of calculating the Incentive Management Fee.

F. Unless otherwise expressly covered by this Article V, except in the case of an emergency, Manager shall not make any capital expenditure or improvement without first obtaining Owner’s prior written consent and approval.

ARTICLE VI

Subject to the provisions of Section 6.05, Manager shall, commencing with the Effective Date and for the duration of the Term, procure and maintain, using funds deducted from Gross Revenues as a Deduction in determining Operating Profit, the following insurance and/or such other insurance as may be approved or required by Owner:

1. Insurance on the Hotel (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 the Hotel.

2. Insurance against loss or damage from explosion of boilers, pressure vessels, pressure pipes and sprinklers, to the extent applicable, installed in the Hotel.

3. 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 6.0l.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 agreed upon by Owner and Manager.

B. Commercial general liability insurance against claims for all injury, death or property damage occurring on, in, or about the Hotel, and automobile insurance on vehicles owned or leased by owner and operated in conjunction with the Hotel, with a combined single limit of not less than Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) for each occurrence for personal injury, death and property damage, with such deductible limits as are agreed upon by Owner and Manager;

Manager shall be the named insured and Owner and Landlord shall be additional insureds on the policies described in Subsections 6.02A and 6.02C.

6.03. Coverage; Deductibles.

All policies of insurance described in Sections 6.02 and 6.03, including the coverages and the deductibles thereunder, shall be subject to Owner’s prior approval, and Owner may require that any such coverage or policy be eliminated or not be carried, provided that Owner will not require Manager to eliminate any coverage that is customarily carried in accordance with Prudent Industry Practice or that is required under a Qualified Mortgage, the Franchise Agreement or other agreement binding on the Hotel. Either Owner or Manager may require that insurance and/or additional insurance and/or coverage be maintained in excess of that customarily carried in accordance with Prudent Industry Practice, provided that the cost of such excess insurance and/or coverage shall not be a Deduction and shall be borne by the party requesting the same. Subject to Owner’s prior approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, and the provisions of Section 6.05, all insurance described in Sections 6.01 and 6.02 may be obtained by Manager by endorsement or equivalent means under its blanket insurance policies, provided that such blanket policies fulfill the requirements specified herein. Deductible limits shall be as agreed upon by Owner and Manager. No coverage required hereunder shall be self-insured by Manager without prior written approval of Owner. Owner shall have the right to approve the insurance policies to be obtained by Manager pursuant hereto and the insurance companies issuing such policies. In order to avoid any lapse in insurance coverage required to be maintained pursuant to this Article VI, Manager shall request any consent required from Owner hereunder with respect to insurance matters in a timely manner so that Owner has a reasonable period of time to consider any such request, and Owner shall respond within ten (10) days after receipt of any such request. Failure to respond within such ten (10) day period shall be deemed approval by Owner.

6.04. Costs and Expenses.

Insurance premiums and any costs or expenses with respect to the insurance described in this Article VI 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. 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.

6.05. Owner’s Right to Provide Insurance.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Owner and/or its Affiliates (including, without limitation, Landlord) shall have the right to procure and maintain any or all of the insurance for the Hotel otherwise required to be maintained by Manager under this Article VI and in lieu of Manager procuring the same, provided that Owner shall give Manager not less than thirty (30) days notice of Owner’s intent to provide such insurance, shall maintain such insurance as is customary in accordance with Prudent Industry Practice and shall provide to Manager upon request certificates of insurance evidencing the same. In such case, all of the terms and conditions of this Article VI, to the extent applicable, shall govern the insurance procured by Owner under this Section 6.05, including, without limitation, the requirement that Owner be a named insured on the operational insurance described in Section 6.02. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all insurance premiums and any costs or expenses and all deductibles with respect to such insurance shall be Deductions in determining Operating Profit., provided that, in the event the premiums for the insurance maintained by Owner are in excess of the premiums that would have been payable by Manager had Manager maintained the same insurance, the amount of such excess shall be payable by Owner and shall not be a Deduction for the purposes of determining Operating Profit. Each insurance policy maintained by Owner or Manager in accordance with this Section 6.05 shall contain a waiver of subrogation in favor of the other party, and Owner and Manager each release the other from claims against the other to the extent the same are covered by insurance.

ARTICLE VII
DAMAGE AND REPAIR

7.01. Damage and Repair.

A. If, during the Term, the Hotel is damaged or destroyed by fire, casualty or other cause, Owner and/or Landlord may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, to repair or replace the damaged or destroyed portion of the Hotel with such modifications as Owner may deem appropriate or as may be required by law, and Manager shall have the right to discontinue operating the Hotel to the extent it deems necessary to comply with applicable law, ordinance, regulation or order or as necessary for the safe and orderly operation of the Hotel, provided that Manager and Owner acknowledge that, in the event such damage is a Minor Casualty, such damage shall be repaired as provided in Section 7.01C and this Agreement shall remain in effect. Proceeds of insurance with respect to the insurance described in Subsections 6.02A, 6.02C and 6.02D shall be paid to Owner, Landlord and/or Manager, as their interests may appear. All proceeds from all other insurance described in this Agreement shall be paid to Owner and/or

Landlord, as their interests may appear. If such damage or destruction is other than a Minor Casualty and Owner elects not to repair or replace said damaged portion of the Hotel, Owner 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 the Hotel is other than a Minor Casualty and Owner notifies Manager that Owner will not repair or replace such damage, either party may terminate by at least sixty (60) days prior written notice to the other party.

C. If, during the Term, the Hotel is damaged by fire, casualty or other cause and such damage is a Minor Casualty or Owner otherwise elects to repair or replace such damaged or destroyed portion of the Hotel, Manager, with the concurrence of Owner, shall, with all reasonable diligence, proceed to process the claim with the applicable insurance carriers, including settling such claim, and to make the necessary arrangements with appropriate contractors and suppliers to repair and/or replace the damaged portion of the Hotel. Owner’s consent shall be needed for Manager to perform any of the foregoing, all of which shall be performed in accordance with Prudent Industry Practices. Owner agrees to sign promptly any documents which are necessary to process and/or adjust the claim with the insurance carriers, as well as any contracts with such contractors and/or suppliers, provided that in each instance such documents and contracts have previously been approved by Owner. If Owner elects to use Manager’s construction management services for construction projects in connection with any non-emergency repairs or replacements, Owner will pay Manager such construction management fee as may be agreed upon by the parties. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Manager agrees to make or cause to have made all emergency repairs and replacements at the actual cost paid or incurred for such repair or replacement.

7.02. Condemnation.

A. In the event all or substantially all of the Hotel 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 the Hotel shall be so taken, but the result is that either Owner or Manager reasonably determines that it is not feasible to continue to operate the Hotel in accordance with the standards required by this Agreement, Owner or Manager may terminate this Agreement as of the effective date of such taking. All awards and proceeds of any such taking or proceeding shall belong to Owner and/or Landlord, as the case may be.

B. In the event this Agreement is not terminated pursuant to Section 7.02.A, such portion of the Hotel that is not so taken shall be repaired or replaced, with such modifications as Owner may deem appropriate or as may be required by law, and this Agreement shall continue except as may be otherwise agreed by the parties. All awards for any such partial taking or condemnation shall belong to Owner and/or Landlord, as the case may be. Manager shall have the right to discontinue temporarily operating the Hotel to the extent it deems necessary for the safe and orderly operation of the Hotel.

7.03. Subordination to Qualified Mortgage.

A. Manager shall provide to any Mortgagee an instrument (the “Subordination Agreement”), reasonably satisfactory in all respects to Owner and such Mortgagee, which shall be recordable in the jurisdiction where the Hotel is located, pursuant to which:

1. This Agreement and any extensions, renewals, replacements or modifications thereto, and all right and interest of Manager in and to the Hotel, shall be subject and subordinate to such Mortgagee’s Qualified Mortgage, with notice and opportunity to cure rights and post-default cure rights in favor of Mortgagee;

2. Manager shall be obligated to each of the Subsequent Owners (as defined below) to perform all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement for the balance of the remaining Term hereof, with the same force and effect as if such Subsequent Owner were the Owner; and

3. In the event that there is a Foreclosure of such Qualified Mortgage in connection with which title or possession of the Hotel is transferred to the Mortgagee (or its designee) or to a purchaser at foreclosure or to a subsequent purchaser from the Mortgagee (or from its designee) (all of the foregoing shall collectively be referred to as “Subsequent Owners”), this Agreement may be terminated at the election of such Subsequent Owner as of the date of such Foreclosure or upon thirty (30) days notice, unless and to the extent the Mortgagee, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have agreed to recognize Manager’s rights under this Agreement following foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, which recognition may be requested from such Mortgagee by Manager prior to encumbrance of the Hotel by such Mortgagee’s Qualified Mortgage. Such recognition may be granted or denied by such Mortgagee in its sole and absolute discretion and shall not be a condition to Owner’s or Landlord’s right to mortgage the Hotel with any such Qualified Mortgage and denial of recognition of this Agreement by a Mortgagee shall not affect any of Manager’s obligations or duties under this Agreement.

B. Except as otherwise agreed by Owner and Manager, Owner will not encumber its leasehold estate under the Hotel Lease with any Mortgage other than a Qualified Mortgage. Manager shall have no responsibility for payment of debt service due with respect to the Hotel, from Gross Revenues or otherwise, and such responsibility shall be solely that of Owner, provided that Manager shall comply with any requirements of any Mortgagee with respect to establishment of escrows and payment of Impositions.

7.04. No Covenants, Conditions or Restrictions.

A. Manager acknowledges and agrees with Owner, and represents and warrants to Owner, that, as of the Effective Date, to the best of Manager’s knowledge, except as disclosed to Owner in writing, there are no covenants, conditions or restrictions, including reciprocal easement agreements or cost-sharing arrangements (individually or collectively referred to as “CC&R(s)”) affecting the Site or the Hotel which: (i) would prohibit or limit Manager from operating the Hotel in accordance with the System Standards; (ii) would allow the

Hotel facilities (for example, parking spaces) to be used by persons other than guests, invitees or employees of the Hotel; (iii) would allow the Hotel facilities to be used for specified charges or rates which have not been approved by Manager; (iv) would subject the Hotel to exclusive arrangements regarding food and beverage operation or retail merchandise; or (v) would impose any financial obligations on Owner or Landlord or on the Hotel.

7.05. Liens; Credit.

Manager and Owner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any liens from being filed against the Hotel which arise from any maintenance, repairs, alterations, improvements, renewals or replacements in or to the Hotel and shall cooperate fully in obtaining the release of any such liens. If the lien was not occasioned by the fault of either party, the cost of releasing any lien 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. In no event shall either party borrow money in the name of or pledge the credit of the other.

7.06. Hotel Lease.

Manager shall use reasonable efforts to comply with any requirements of the Hotel Lease respecting operation of the Hotel, and Owner shall comply with any other obligations of Owner under the Hotel Lease, including but not limited to payment as and when due, of any and all rental and other payments due under the Hotel Lease. Manager shall have no responsibility for payment of rental or other sums due under the Hotel Lease, from Gross Revenues or otherwise, and such responsibility shall be solely that of Owner.

Within thirty (30) days of the receipt by Owner 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 an Event of Default by either party, in which case the defaulting party shall pay such cost. Manager and Owner acknowledge that there may be certain adjustments for which the information will not be available at the time of the final accounting and the parties agree to readjust such amounts and make the necessary cash adjustments when such information becomes available; provided, however, that all accounts shall be deemed final two (2) years after Termination.

B. Manager shall immediately release and transfer to Owner any of Owner’s funds which are held or controlled by Manager with respect to the Hotel, after deducting any amounts due and owing to Manager under this Agreement.

C. Manager shall make available to Owner such books and records respecting the Hotel (including those from prior Fiscal Years during the Term of this Agreement) as will be needed by Owner to prepare the accounting statements, in accordance with the Uniform System of Accounts, for the Hotel for the year in which the Termination occurs. Manager’s obligation

under this Subsection 10.11C shall expire two (2) years after the date of termination of this Agreement.

D. Manager shall (to the extent permitted by law) assign to Owner or to the new manager all operating licenses and permits for the Hotel 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 any of such licenses or permits, Owner shall reimburse Manager therefor if it has not done so already unless such expenditure is a Manager’s Liability.

E. If this Agreement is terminated by reason of Owner’s Event of Default, a reasonable reserve shall be established from Gross Revenues to reimburse Manager for all costs and expenses incurred by Manager in terminating its employees at the Hotel, such as severance pay, unemployment compensation, employment relocation and other employee liability costs arising out of the termination of employment of Manager’s employees at the Hotel. If Gross Revenues are insufficient to meet the requirements of such reserve, then Owner shall deliver to Manager, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of Manager’s written request therefor, the sums necessary to establish such reserve.

F. Owner may, at its option, (i) provide Manager and/or the employees at the Hotel (or require Manager to provide to the employees at the Hotel) at least sixty (60) days’ notice of a Termination and/or (ii) cause the entity which shall succeed Manager as the operator of the Hotel to offer employment to a sufficient number of the employees at the Hotel to avoid the occurrence, in connection with such Termination, of a “plant closing” or “mass layoff” within the meaning of the WARN Act. If Owner elects to cause the entity which shall succeed Manager as operator of the Hotel to employ certain of Manager’s employees, Manager shall not take any action that would cause such employees not to continue as employees at the Hotel.

The provisions of this Section 10.11 shall survive Termination.

10.12. Waiver.

The failure of either party to insist upon a strict performance of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, or to exercise any option, right or remedy contained in this Agreement, 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.

10.13. Partial Invalidity.

If any portion of any term or provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall be invalid or unenforceable, at any time or to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, the rights and obligations of the parties herein shall not survive any Termination.

10.15. Negotiation of Agreement.

Owner and Manager are both business entities having substantial experience with the subject matter of this Agreement, and each has fully participated in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. Accordingly, this Agreement shall be construed without regard to the rule that ambiguities in a document are to be construed against the draftsman. No inferences shall be drawn from the fact that the final, duly executed Agreement differs in any respect from any previous draft hereof.

10.16. Estoppel Certificates.

Each party to this Agreement shall at any time and from time to time, upon not less than fifteen (15) days’ prior notice from the other party, execute, acknowledge and deliver to such other party, or to any third party specified by such other party, a statement in writing: (a) certifying that this 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 (b) stating to the best knowledge of the certifying party (i) whether or not there is a continuing Default or Event of Default by the non-certifying party in the performance or observance of any covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Agreement, (ii) the amount, if any, of any past due fees or other past due amounts owed to Manager or Owner; and (iii) whether or not there are any past due and unpaid obligations with respect to the Hotel, other than in the ordinary course of business. Such statement shall be binding upon the certifying party and may be relied upon by the non-certifying party and/or such third party specified by the non-certifying party as aforesaid. In addition, upon written request after a Termination, each party agrees to execute and deliver to the non-certifying party and to any such third party a statement certifying that this Agreement has been terminated.

10.17. Affiliates.

Except for the contract between Manager and its Affiliate that furnishes employees for the Hotel as provided in Section 1.03, Manager shall not be entitled to contract with companies that are Affiliates (or companies in which Manager has an ownership interest if such interest is not sufficient to make such a company an Affiliate) to provide goods and/or services to the Hotel without the prior written consent of Owner. Owner agrees not to unreasonably withhold consent if the terms of such contracts are on terms as favorable to Owner and the Hotel as are available from third parties that are not affiliated and the terms of the contract have been specifically disclosed and approved in the approved Annual Operating Projection. In addition, Manager shall not be entitled to contract with third parties or their Affiliates that have other contractual relationships with Manager and/or its Affiliates to provide goods and/or services to the Hotel without the prior written consent of Owner unless the terms of such contracts are as favorable to Owner and the Hotel as are available from unrelated third parties, except for geographic and regional differences in the pricing of goods and services that are attributable to the location of the Hotel. In each instance, all direct and indirect benefits of such contractual relationships with affiliated companies and/or third parties having other contractual relationships shall have been disclosed to Owner and shall accrue to the benefit of the Hotel and/or Owner, other than incidental entertainment of Manager’s senior staff and principals that is not material and could not reasonably be expected to influence any decision made by Manager, its Affiliates or its or their officers, directors, employees or principals with respect to any contract affecting the Hotel.

10.18. Blocked Persons or Entities.

Manager represents and warrants to Owner and covenants for the benefit of Owner that (i) neither Manager nor any of its Affiliates or any officers, directors, partners or employees of Manager or its Affiliates, or, to its knowledge, the funding sources for any of the foregoing, is or will be identified on the list of the U. S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Asset Control (“OFAC”); (ii) neither Manager nor any of its Affiliates is or will be directly or indirectly owned or controlled by the government of any country that is subject to an embargo imposed by the United States government; and (iii) neither Manager nor any of its Affiliates is acting or will act on behalf of a government of, or is involved in business arrangements or other transactions with, any country that is subject to such an embargo. Manager will notify Owner in writing immediately upon the occurrence of any event which would render the foregoing representations and warranties incorrect.

10.19. Restrictions on Operating the Hotel in Accordance with System Standards.

In the event of either (i) a Legal Requirement, including an order, judgment or directive by a court or administrative body which is issued in connection with any Litigation involving Owner, or (ii) any action taken by a Mortgagee in connection with a Foreclosure, which in either case restricts or prevents Manager, in a material and adverse manner, from operating the Hotel in accordance with System Standards (including without limitation, any restrictions on expenditures by Manager from the Operating Accounts or from the Reserve, other than restrictions which are set forth in this Agreement), Manager shall be entitled, at its option, to terminate this Agreement upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to Owner. The foregoing shall not reduce or otherwise affect the rights of the parties under Article VIII.

10.20. Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. Such executed counterparts may be delivered by facsimile which, upon transmission to the other party, shall have the same force and effect as delivery of the original signed counterpart. The submission of an unsigned copy of this Agreement or an electronic instrument with or without electronic signature to either party shall not constitute an offer or acceptance. This Agreement shall become effective and binding only upon execution and delivery of this Agreement in non-electronic form by both parties in accordance with this Section.

10.21. Entire Agreement.

This Agreement, together with any other writings signed by the parties expressly stated to be supplemental hereto and together with any instruments to be executed and delivered pursuant to this Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior understandings and writings, and may be changed only by a written non-electronic instrument that has been duly executed by the non-electronic (which shall not be deemed to exclude facsimile) signature of an authorized representative of the parties hereto.

10.22. Franchise Agreement.

During the Term of this Agreement, Manager shall perform all of the obligations of Owner as “Franchisee” under the Franchise Agreement to the extent such obligations relate to the management or operation of the Hotel, including, without limitation, the obligations of “Franchisee” under Paragraphs ____ ____ _____ _____ of the Franchise Agreement, and Manager shall not commit any act or omit to take any action that would cause a default by the Franchisee under the Franchise Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Franchise Agreement, the provisions of the Franchise Agreement shall prevail. Manager and Owner shall each send promptly to the other any and all material notices that it receives from the Franchisor with respect to the Hotel or the Franchise Agreement, and Manager shall keep Owner fully informed with respect to all matters that come to Manager’s attention under the Franchise Agreement that could be material to Owner and/or the business operated at the Hotel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Manager shall not have the right to grant any consent, approval or other right reserved to the Franchisee

under the Franchise Agreement or to make any decision or agreement on behalf of Owner under the Franchise Agreement. In the event the Franchise Agreement is terminated as a result of any Event of Default or any other act, omission or default by Manager or its Affiliates, this Agreement shall also terminate effective as of the date of termination of the Franchise Agreement; if the Franchise Agreement is terminated for any other reason, the Agreement shall not terminate but shall remain in full force and effect, unless the parties hereto agree otherwise.

10.23. Operation of Other Hotels.

During the Term and except for the Hotel and the hotel listed in Schedule 1 attached hereto (the “Excluded Hotel”), if Manager or any of its Affiliates shall acquire, lease, own, manage or operate, directly or indirectly, any hotel, inn, motel or other type of lodging facility, regardless of whether similar to the Hotel or whether operated under the same or a different brand, in the same geographic area or market as the Hotel, Manager shall not permit unfair favoritism in the operation and management of such other hotels that would disadvantage the operation or business of the Hotel (such as, by way of example only, directing potential Hotel guests to such other hotels instead of to the Hotel). At Owner’s request, Manager shall provide such information as may reasonably be requested by Owner to determine if there has been any such unfair favoritism and, in the event Owner, in its reasonable business judgment, determines that any such unfair favoritism has occurred, Owner may terminate the Agreement, provided that if Manager is able to demonstrate to Owner’s reasonable satisfaction that Manager can effect a cure of such unfair favoritism, Owner will permit Manager to effect such cure, and if such cure is effected to Owner’s reasonable satisfaction, this Agreement will not be terminated as a result of such unfair favoritism, provided that this Agreement shall again become terminable pursuant to this Section 10.23 if there is unfair favoritism after such cure.

Where a matter is to be referred to an Expert for determination, the following provisions shall apply to such Expert’s determination:

Each party shall be entitled to make written submissions to the Expert, and if a party makes any submission it shall also provide a copy to the other party and the other party shall have the right to comment on such submission.

C. The Expert shall make its decision with respect to the matter referred for determination by applying the standards applicable to first-class hotels in accordance with the
