and hold harmless Landlord from and against any loss, cost, damage or liability
(including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by Landlord in connection with

RENT
----
3.1 Rent. Tenant shall pay, in lawful money of the United States of
----
America which shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts,
without offset, abatement, demand or deduction (unless otherwise expressly
provided in this Agreement), Minimum Rent and Additional Rent to Landlord and
Additional Charges to the party to whom such Additional Charges are payable,
during the Term. All payments to Landlord shall be made by wire transfer of
immediately available federal funds or
-17-
by other means acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion. Rent for any
partial Accounting Period shall be prorated on a per diem basis.
3.1.1 Minimum Rent.
------------
(a) Minimum Rent shall be paid in advance on the first Business Day
of each Accounting Period; provided, however, that the first payment of
-------- -------
Minimum Rent shall be payable on the Commencement Date (and, if
applicable, such payment shall be prorated as provided in the last
sentence of the first paragraph of Section 3.1).
-----------
(b) Adjustments of Minimum Rent Following Disbursements Under
---------------------------------------------------------
Sections 5.1.2(b), 10.2.4 or 11.2. Effective on the date of each
---------------------------------
disbursement to pay for the cost of any repairs, maintenance, renovations
or replacements pursuant to Sections 5.1.2(b), 10.2.4 or 11.2, the Minimum
---------------------------------
Rent shall be increased by a per annum amount equal to ten percent (10%)
--- -----
of the amount so disbursed. If any such disbursement is made during any
Accounting Period on a day other than the first day of a Accounting
Period, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first day of the immediately
following Accounting Period (in addition to the amount of Minimum Rent
payable with respect to such Accounting Period, as adjusted pursuant to
this paragraph (b)) the amount by which Minimum Rent for the preceding
Accounting Period, as adjusted for such disbursement on a per diem basis,
exceeded the amount of Minimum Rent paid by Tenant for such preceding
Accounting Period.
3.1.2 Additional Rent.
---------------
(a) Amount. For each Lease Year or portion thereof, Tenant shall pay
------
an aggregate amount of additional rent ("Additional Rent") with respect to
---------------
such Lease Year, pursuant to this Agreement and the Other Leases, in an
amount, not less than zero, equal to seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of
Excess Gross Revenues.
(b) Quarterly Installments. Installments of Additional Rent for each
----------------------
Lease Year or portion thereof shall be calculated and paid quarterly in
arrears, together with an Officer's Certificate setting forth the
calculation of Additional Rent due and payable for such quarter. Copies of
each Accounting Period Statement (as defined in the Management Agreement)
delivered pursuant to Section 5.03 of the Management Agreement shall be
delivered to Landlord upon receipt by Tenant and each quarterly payment of
Additional Rent shall due and payable and shall be delivered to Landlord
with the payment of the Minimum Rent next due after
-18-
receipt of such Accounting Period Statement, together with an Officer's
Certificate setting forth the calculation of Additional Rent due and
payable for such quarter.
(c) Reconciliation of Additional Rent. In addition, on or before
---------------------------------
April 30, of each year, commencing April 30, 1997, Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Gross Revenues for the
Collective Leased Properties for such preceding Lease Year, together with
an audit of Tenant's revenues for the preceding Lease Year, conducted by
Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx and Co., or another "Big Six", so-called, firm of
independent certified public accountants proposed by Tenant and approved
by Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed).
If the annual Additional Rent for such preceding Lease Year as shown
in the Officer's Certificate exceeds the amount previously paid with
respect thereto by Tenant, Tenant shall pay such excess to Landlord at
such time as the Officer's Certificate is delivered, together with
interest at the Interest Rate, which interest shall accrue from the close
of such preceding Lease Year until the date that such certificate is
required to be delivered and, thereafter, such interest shall accrue at
the Overdue Rate, until the amount of such difference shall be paid or
otherwise discharged. If the annual Additional Rent for such preceding
Lease Year as shown in the Officer's Certificate is less than the amount
previously paid with respect thereto by Tenant, provided that no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Landlord shall grant Tenant
a credit against Additional Rent next coming due in the amount of such
difference, together with interest at the Interest Rate, which interest
shall accrue from the date of payment of Tenant until the date such credit
is applied or paid, as the case may be. If such credit cannot be made
because the Term has expired prior to application in full thereof,
provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Landlord
shall pay the unapplied balance of such credit to Tenant, together with
interest at the Interest Rate, which interest shall accrue from the date
of payment by Tenant until the date of payment by Landlord.
(d) Confirmation of Additional Rent. Tenant shall utilize, or cause
-------------------------------
to be utilized, an accounting system for the Collective Leased Properties
in accordance with its usual and customary practices and in accordance
with GAAP, which will accurately record all Gross Revenues and Tenant
shall retain, for at least three (3) years after the expiration of each
Lease Year, reasonably adequate records conforming to such accounting
system showing all Gross
-19-
Revenues for such Lease Year. Landlord, at its own expense except as
provided hereinbelow, shall have the right, exercisable by Notice to
Tenant within one (1) year after receipt of the applicable Officer's
Certificate, by its accountants or representatives to audit the
information set forth in the Officer's Certificate referred to in
subparagraph (c) above and, in connection with such audits, to examine
Tenant's and the Manager's books and records with respect thereto
(including supporting data and sales and excise tax returns). If any such
audit discloses a deficiency in the payment of Additional Rent, and either
Tenant agrees with the result of such audit or the matter is otherwise
compromised with Landlord, Tenant shall forthwith pay to Landlord the
amount of the deficiency, as finally agreed or determined, together with
interest at the Interest Rate, from the date such payment should have been
made to the date of payment thereof. If such deficiency, as agreed upon or
compromised as aforesaid, is more than three percent (3%) of the Gross
Revenues reported by Tenant for such Lease Year and, as a result, Landlord
did not receive at least ninety-five percent (95%) of the Additional Rent
payable with respect to such Lease Year, Tenant shall pay the reasonable
cost of such audit and examination. If any such audit discloses that
Tenant paid more Additional Rent for any Lease Year than was due
hereunder, and either Landlord agrees with the result of such audit or the
matter is otherwise determined, provided no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, Landlord shall grant Tenant a credit equal to the
amount of such overpayment against Additional Rent next coming due in the
amount of such difference, as finally agreed or determined, together with
interest at the Interest Rate, which interest shall accrue from the time
of payment by Tenant until the date such credit is applied or paid, as the
case may be. If such a credit cannot be made because the Term has expired
before the credit can be applied in full, provided no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, Landlord shall pay the unapplied balance of
such credit to Tenant, together with interest at the Interest Rate, which
interest shall accrue from the date of payment by Tenant until the date of
payment from Landlord.
Any proprietary information obtained by Landlord with respect to
Tenant or the Manager pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall
be treated as confidential, except that such information may be used,
subject to appropriate confidentiality safeguards, in any litigation
between the parties and except further that Landlord may disclose such
information to its prospective lenders, provided that Landlord shall
direct and obtain the agreement of such lenders to maintain such
information as confidential. The
-20-
obligations of Tenant and Landlord contained in this Section 3.1.2 shall
-------------
survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.
3.1.3 Additional Charges. In addition to the Minimum Rent and
------------------
Additional Rent payable hereunder, Tenant shall pay to the appropriate parties
and discharge as and when due and payable the following (collectively,
"Additional Charges"):
-------------------
(a) Impositions. Subject to Article 8 relating to permitted
----------- ---------
contests, Tenant shall pay, or cause to be paid, all Impositions before
any fine, penalty, interest or cost (other than any opportunity cost as a
result of a failure to take advantage of any discount for early payment)
may be added for non-payment, such payments to be made directly to the
taxing authorities where feasible, and shall promptly, upon request,
furnish to Landlord copies of official receipts or other reasonably
satisfactory proof evidencing such payments. If any such Imposition may,
at the option of the taxpayer, lawfully be paid in installments (whether
or not interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of such Imposition),
Tenant may exercise the option to pay the same (and any accrued interest
on the unpaid balance of such Imposition) in installments and, in such
event, shall pay such installments during the Term as the same become due
and before any fine, penalty, premium, further interest or cost may be
added thereto. Landlord, at its expense, shall, to the extent required or
permitted by Applicable Law, prepare and file all tax returns and pay all
taxes due in respect of Landlord's net income, gross receipts, sales and
use, single business, transaction privilege, rent, ad valorem, franchise
taxes and taxes on its capital stock, and Tenant, at its expense, shall,
to the extent required or permitted by Applicable Laws and regulations,
prepare and file all other tax returns and reports in respect of any
Imposition as may be required by Government Agencies. Provided no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if any refund shall be due
from any taxing authority in respect of any Imposition paid by Tenant, the
same shall be paid over to or retained by Tenant. Landlord and Tenant
shall, upon request of the other, provide such data as is maintained by
the party to whom the request is made with respect to the Leased Property
as may be necessary to prepare any required returns and reports. In the
event Government Agencies classify any property covered by this Agreement
as personal property, Tenant shall file all personal property tax returns
in such jurisdictions where it may legally so file. Each party shall, to
the extent it possesses the same, provide the other, upon request, with
cost and depreciation records necessary for filing returns for any
property so classified as personal property. Where Landlord is legally
required to
-21-
file personal property tax returns for property covered by this Agreement,
Landlord shall provide Tenant with copies of assessment notices in
sufficient time for Tenant to file a protest. All Impositions assessed
against such personal property shall be (irrespective of whether Landlord
or Tenant shall file the relevant return) paid by Tenant not later than
the last date on which the same may be made without interest or penalty.
Landlord shall give prompt Notice to Tenant and the Manager of all
Impositions payable by Tenant hereunder of which Landlord at any time has
knowledge; provided, however, that Landlord's failure to give any such
-------- -------
notice shall in no way diminish Tenant's obligation hereunder to pay such
Impositions (except that Landlord shall be responsible for any interest or
penalties incurred as a result of Landlord's failure promptly to forward
the same).
(b) Utility Charges. Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all
---------------
charges for electricity, power, gas, oil, water and other utilities used
in connection with the Leased Property.
(c) Insurance Premiums. Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all
------------------
premiums for the insurance coverage required to be maintained pursuant to
Article 9.
---------
(d) Other Charges. Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all other
-------------
amounts, liabilities and obligations, including, without limitation, and
all amounts payable under or with respect to the Management Agreement
(except as expressly provided in Section 5.1.2(b)) and any equipment
----------------
leases and all agreements to indemnify Landlord under Sections 4.3.2 and
--------------
9.7.
---
(e) Reimbursement for Additional Charges. If Tenant pays or causes
------------------------------------
to be paid property taxes or similar or other Additional Charges
attributable to periods after the end of the Term, whether upon expiration
or sooner termination of this Agreement (other than termination by reason
of an Event of Default), Tenant may, within a reasonable time after the
end of the Term, provide Notice to Landlord of its estimate of such
amounts. Landlord shall promptly reimburse Tenant for all payments of such
taxes and other similar Additional Charges that are attributable to any
period after the Term of this Agreement (unless this Agreement shall have
been terminated following an Event of Default).
3.2 Late Payment of Rent, Etc., If any installment of Minimum Rent,
--------------------------
Additional Rent or Additional Charges (but only as to those Additional Charges
which are payable directly to Landlord) shall not be paid within ten (10) days
after its due
-22-
date, Tenant shall pay Landlord, on demand, as Additional Charges, a late charge
(to the extent permitted by law) computed at the Overdue Rate on the amount of
such installment, from the due date of such installment to the date of payment
thereof. To the extent that Tenant pays any Additional Charges directly to
Landlord or any Hotel Mortgagee pursuant to any requirement of this Agreement,
Tenant shall be relieved of its obligation to pay such Additional Charges to the
Entity to which they would otherwise be due. If any payments due from Landlord
to Tenant shall not be paid within ten (10) days after its due date, Landlord
shall pay to Tenant, on demand, a late charge (to the extent permitted by law)
computed at the Overdue Rate on the amount of such installment from the due date
of such installment to the date of payment thereof.
In the event of any failure by Tenant to pay any Additional Charges when
due, except as expressly provided in Section 3.1.3(a), Tenant shall promptly pay
----------------
and discharge, as Additional Charges, every fine, penalty, interest and cost
which may be added for non-payment or late payment of such items. Landlord
shall have all legal, equitable and contractual rights, powers and remedies
provided either in this Agreement or by statute or otherwise in the case of non-
payment of the Additional Charges as in the case of non-payment of the Minimum
Rent and Additional Rent.
3.3 Net Lease. The Rent shall be absolutely net to Landlord so that this
---------
Agreement shall yield to Landlord the full amount of the installments or amounts
of the Rent throughout the Term, subject to any other provisions of this
Agreement which expressly provide otherwise, including those provisions for
adjustment or abatement of such Rent.
3.4 No Termination, Abatement, Etc. Except as otherwise specifically
-------------------------------
provided in this Agreement, each of Landlord and Tenant, to the maximum extent
permitted by law, shall remain bound by this Agreement in accordance with its
terms and shall not take any action without the consent of the other to modify,
surrender or terminate this Agreement. In addition, except as otherwise
expressly provided in this Agreement, Tenant shall not seek, or be entitled to,
any abatement, deduction, deferment or reduction of the Rent, or set-off against
the Rent, nor shall the respective obligations of Landlord and Tenant be
otherwise affected by reason of (a) any damage to or destruction of the Leased
Property or any portion thereof from whatever cause or any Condemnation, (b) the
lawful or unlawful prohibition of, or restriction upon, Tenant's use of the
Leased Property, or any portion thereof, or the interference with such use by
any Person or by reason of eviction by paramount title; (c) any claim which
Tenant may have against Landlord by reason of any default (other than a monetary
default) or breach of any warranty by Landlord
-23-
under this Agreement or any other agreement between Landlord and Tenant, or to
which Landlord and Tenant are parties; (d) any bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, winding up
or other proceedings affecting Landlord or any assignee or transferee of
Landlord; or (e) for any other cause whether similar or dissimilar to any of the
foregoing (other than a monetary default by Landlord); provided, however, that
-------- -------
the foregoing shall not apply or be construed to restrict Tenant's rights in the
event of any act or omission by Landlord constituting gross negligence or
willful misconduct. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this
Agreement, Tenant hereby waives all rights arising from any occurrence
whatsoever, which may now or hereafter be conferred upon it by law, to (a)
modify, surrender or terminate this Agreement or quit or surrender the Leased
Property or any portion thereof, or (b) entitle Tenant to any abatement,
reduction, suspension or deferment of the Rent or other sums payable or other
obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. The obligations of each party
hereunder shall be separate and independent covenants and agreements, and the
Rent and all other sums payable by Tenant hereunder shall continue to be payable
in all events unless the obligations to pay the same shall be terminated
pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement. In any instance where,
after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord retains funds which, but
for the occurrence of such Event of Default, would be payable to Tenant,
Landlord shall refund such funds to Tenant to the extent the amount thereof
exceeds the amount necessary to compensate Landlord for any cost, loss or damage
incurred in connection with such Event of Default.
3.5 Security for Tenant's Performance. Tenant acknowledges that the
---------------------------------
Retained Funds (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) constitute security for
the faithful observance and performance by Tenant of all the terms, covenants
and conditions of this Agreement by Tenant to be observed and performed. If any
Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Landlord may, at its option and
without prejudice to any other remedy which Landlord may have on account
thereof, appropriate and apply the entire amount of the Retained Funds or so
much thereof as may be necessary to compensate Landlord toward the payment of
the Rent or other sums or loss or damage sustained by Landlord due to such
breach by Tenant. It is understood and agreed that the amount of the Retained
Funds is not to be considered as prepaid rent, nor shall damages be limited to
the amount of the amount of the Retained Funds. Provided this Agreement shall
not be terminated as a result of an Event of Default, the Retained Funds shall
be paid as provided in the Purchase Agreement.

nonstructural, foreseen or unforeseen, or, except as provided in Section
-------
5.1.2(b), to make any expenditure whatsoever with respect thereto, or to

the Leased Property in any way. Except as otherwise expressly provided in
this Agreement, Tenant hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by

-----------
required to make any expenditures in connection with any repair,
maintenance renovation with respect to the Leased Property and the amount
of such disbursements or expenditures exceeds the amount on deposit in the
FF&E Reserve, Tenant may, at its election, give Landlord Notice thereof,
which Notice shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the nature of the
required repair, renovation or replacement, the estimated cost thereof and
such other information with respect thereto as Landlord may reasonably
require. Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing and Tenant shall otherwise comply with the applicable
provisions of Article 6, Landlord shall, within ten (10) Business Days

therein are expressly prohibited and that they must look solely to Tenant to
secure payment for any work done or material furnished by Tenant, the Manager or

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed in
any way as constituting the consent or request of Landlord, express or implied,
by inference or otherwise, to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer or
materialmen for the performance of any labor or the furnishing of any materials
for any alteration, addition, improvement or repair to the Leased
-30-
Property or any part thereof or as giving Tenant any right, power or authority
to contract for or permit the rendering of any services or the furnishing of any
materials that would give rise to the filing of any lien against the Leased
Property or any part thereof nor to subject Landlord's estate in the Leased
Property or any part thereof to liability under any Mechanic's Lien Law of the
State in any way, it being expressly understood Landlord's estate shall not be
subject to any such liability.
5.2 Tenant's Personal Property. Tenant shall provide and maintain
--------------------------
throughout the Term all such Tenant's Personal Property as shall be necessary in
order to operate in compliance with applicable Legal Requirements and Insurance
Requirements and otherwise in accordance with customary practice in the industry

interest in any item of tangible personal property (other than motor vehicles)
on, or in connection with, the Leased Property which belongs to anyone other
than Tenant, Tenant shall require the agreements permitting such use to provide
that Landlord or its designee may assume Tenant's rights and obligations under

necessary for the use and operation of the Hotel as then operated. Consistent
with the terms of the Management Agreement, if requested by Landlord, Tenant
will direct the Manager to continue to manage the Hotel after the expiration of
the Term and for up to one hundred twenty (120) days, on such reasonable terms
(which shall include an agreement to reimburse the Manager for its reasonable
out-of-pocket costs
-31-
and expenses, and reasonable administrative costs), as Landlord shall reasonably
request.

to any change in the Management Agreement, terminate the Management Agreement or
permit the Manager to assign the Management Agreement without the prior written
approval of Landlord in each instance, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned. If Landlord shall perform any obligations of
"Owner" under the Management Agreement (which Landlord may do subject to Section
-------
12.5), the cost of such performance shall be payable upon demand by Tenant to
----
Landlord with interest accruing from the demand date at the Overdue Rate and
Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies for failure to pay such costs
on demand as for Tenant's failure to pay Minimum Rent.

IMPROVEMENTS, ETC.
------------------
6.1 Improvements to the Leased Property. Tenant shall not make,
-----------------------------------
construct or install (and shall direct the Manager not to construct or install)
any Capital Additions without, in each instance, obtaining Landlord's prior
written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
conditioned provided that (a) construction or installation of the same would not
adversely affect or violate any Legal Requirement or Insurance Requirement
applicable to the Leased Property and (b) Landlord shall have received an
Officer's Certificate certifying as to the satisfaction of the conditions set
out in clause (a) above; provided, however, that no such consent shall be
-------- -------
required in the event immediate action is required to prevent imminent danger to
person or property. Prior to commencing
-32-
construction of any Capital Addition, Tenant shall submit, or shall direct the
Manager to submit, to Landlord, in writing, a proposal setting forth, in
reasonable detail, any such proposed improvement and shall provide to Landlord
such plans and specifications, and such permits, licenses, contracts and such
other information concerning the same as Landlord may reasonably request.
Landlord shall have thirty (30) days to review all materials submitted to
Landlord in connection with any such proposal. Failure of Landlord to respond
to Tenant's or the Manager's proposal within thirty (30) days after receipt of
all information and materials requested by Landlord in connection with the
proposed improvement shall be deemed to constitute approval of the same.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such proposal shall indicate
the approximate projected cost of constructing such proposed improvement and the
use or uses to which it will be put. No Capital Addition shall be made which
would tie in or connect any Leased Improvement with any other improvements on
property adjacent to the Leased Property (and not part of the Land) including,
without limitation, tie-ins of buildings or other structures or utilities.
Tenant shall not finance, and shall direct the Manager not to finance, the cost
of any construction of such improvement by the granting of a lien on or security
interest in the Leased Property or such improvement, or Tenant's interest
therein, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be
withheld by Landlord in Landlord's sole discretion. Any such improvements
shall, upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement, remain or
pass to and become the property of Landlord, free and clear of all encumbrances
other than Permitted Encumbrances.
6.2 Salvage. All materials which are scrapped or removed in
-------
connection with the making of either Capital Additions or non-Capital Additions
or repairs required by Article 5 shall be or become the property of the party
---------
that paid for such work.

suffer by reason of Tenant's breach of this Agreement, Tenant hereby grants unto
Landlord a security interest in and an express contractual lien upon Tenant's
Personal Property (except motor vehicles), and all ledger sheets, files,
records, documents and instruments (including, without limitation, computer
programs, tapes and related electronic data processing) relating to the
operation of the Hotels (the "Records") and all proceeds therefrom, subject to
-------
any Permitted Encumbrances; and such Tenant's Personal Property shall not be
removed from the Leased Property at any time when a Default or an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing.
Upon Landlord's request, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord
financing statements in form sufficient to perfect the security interest of
Landlord in Tenant's Personal Property and the proceeds thereof in accordance
with the provisions of the applicable laws of the State. Tenant hereby grants
Landlord an irrevocable limited power of attorney, coupled with an interest, to
execute all such financing statements in Tenant's name, place and stead. The
security interest herein granted is in addition to any statutory lien for the
Rent.
ARTICLE 8
----------
PERMITTED CONTESTS

Tenant and the Manager shall have the right to contest the amount or
validity of any Imposition, Legal Requirement, Insurance Requirement,
Environmental Obligation, lien, attachment, levy, encumbrance, charge or claim
(collectively, "Claims") as to the Leased Property, by appropriate legal
------
proceedings, conducted in good faith and with due diligence, provided that (a)
the foregoing shall in no way be construed as relieving, modifying or extending
Tenant's obligation to pay any Claims as finally determined, (b) such contest
shall not cause Landlord or Tenant to be in default under any mortgage or deed
of trust encumbering the Leased Property (Landlord agreeing that any such
mortgage or deed of trust shall permit Tenant and the

or loss, and (d) Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and
against any cost, claim, damage, penalty or reasonable expense, including

result thereof. Landlord agrees to join in any such proceedings if required
legally to prosecute such contest, provided that Landlord shall not thereby be
subjected to any liability therefor (including, without limitation, for the
payment of any costs or expenses in connection therewith) unless Tenant agrees
by agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, to
assume and indemnify Landlord with respect to the same. Tenant shall be
entitled to any refund of any Claims and such charges and penal ties or interest
thereon which have been paid by Tenant or paid by Landlord to the extent that
Landlord has been fully reimbursed by Tenant. If Tenant shall fail (x) to pay
or cause to be paid any Claims when finally determined, (y) to provide
reasonable security therefor, or (z) to prosecute or cause to be prosecuted any
such contest diligently and in good faith, Landlord may, upon reasonable notice
to Tenant (which notice may be oral and shall not be required if Landlord shall
reasonably determine that the same is not practicable), pay such charges,
together with interest and penalties due with respect thereto, and Tenant shall
reimburse Landlord therefor, upon demand, as Additional Charges.

sufficient to prevent Landlord or Tenant from becoming a co-insurer;
(c) Comprehensive general liability insurance, including bodily
injury and property damage (on an occurrence basis and on a 1973 or 1988
ISO CGL form or on a form otherwise maintain by similarly situated

Three Million Dollars ($23,000,000);
(d) Flood (if the Leased Property is located in whole or in part
within an area identified as an area having special flood hazards and in

(f) Such additional insurance as may be reasonably required, from
time to time, by Landlord or any Hotel Mortgagee and which is customarily
carried by comparable lodging properties in the area.
9.2 Replacement Cost. "Replacement Cost" as used herein, shall mean
---------------- ----------------
the actual replacement cost of the property requiring replacement from time to
time, including an increased cost of construction endorsement, less exclusions
provided in the standard form of fire insurance policy. In the event either
party believes that the then full Replacement Cost has increased or decreased at
any time during the Term, such party, at its own cost, shall have the right to
have such full Replacement Cost redetermined by an independent accredited
appraiser approved by
-36-
the other, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The
party desiring to have the full Replacement Cost so redetermined shall
forthwith, on receipt of such determination by such appraiser, give Notice
thereof to the other. The determina tion of such appraiser shall be final and
binding on the parties hereto until any subsequent determination under this
Section 9.2, and Tenant shall forthwith conform the amount of the insurance
-----------
carried to the amount so determined by the appraiser.
9.3 Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant agree that (insofar
---------------------
as and to the extent that such agreement may be effective without invalidating
or making it impossible to secure insurance coverage from responsible insurance
companies doing business in the State) with respect to any property loss which
is covered by insurance then being carried by Landlord or Tenant, respectively,
the party carrying such insurance and suffering said loss releases the other of
and from any and all claims with respect to such loss; and they further agree
that their respective insurance companies shall have no right of subrogation
against the other on account thereof, even though extra premium may result
therefrom. In the event that any extra premium is payable by Tenant as a result
of this provision, Landlord shall not be liable for reimbursement to Tenant for
such extra premium.
9.4 Form Satisfactory, Etc. All insurance policies and endorsements

required pursuant to this Article 9 shall be fully paid for, nonassessable and,
---------
except for umbrella and flood coverage, be issued by insurance carriers
authorized to do business in the State, having a general policy holder's rating
of no less than B++ in Best's latest rating guide. All such policies described
in Sections 9.1(a) through (d) shall include no deductible in excess of Two
---------------------------
Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) and, with the exception of the
insurance described in Sections 9.1(e), shall name Landlord and any Hotel
---------------
Mortgagee as additional insureds, as their interests may appear. All loss
adjustments shall be payable as provided in Article 10. Tenant shall cause all
----------
insurance premiums to be paid and shall deliver policies or certificates thereof
to Landlord prior to their effective date (and, with respect to any renewal
policy, prior to the expiration of the existing policy). All such policies
shall provide Landlord (and any Hotel Mortgagee if required by the same) thirty
(30) days prior written notice of any material change or cancellation of such
policy. In the event Tenant shall fail to effect such insurance as herein
required, to pay the premiums therefor or to deliver such policies or
certificates to Landlord or any Hotel Mortgagee at the times required, Landlord
shall have the right, but not the obligation, subject to the provisions of
Section 12.5, to acquire such insurance and pay the premiums therefor, which
------------
amounts shall be payable to Landlord, upon demand, as Additional Charges,
together with interest
-37-
accrued thereon at the Overdue Rate from the date such payment is made until
(but excluding) the date repaid.
9.5 Blanket Policy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
--------------
contained in this Article 9, Tenant's obligation to maintain the insurance
---------
herein required may be brought within the coverage of a so-called blanket policy
or policies of insurance carried and maintained by Tenant or the Manager,
provided, that (a) the coverage thereby afforded will not be reduced or
diminished from that which would exist under a separate policy meeting all other
requirements of this Agreement, and (b) the requirements of this Article 9 are
---------
otherwise satisfied. Without limiting the foregoing, the amounts of insurance
that are required to be maintained pursuant to Section 9.1 shall be on a Hotel
-----------
by Hotel basis, and shall not be subject to an aggregate limit, except for
products, completed operations and flood. Notwithstanding any other provisions
of Articles 9 or 10, Tenant may permit the Manager to self insure or otherwise
----------------
retain such workers' insurance risks or portions thereof as the Manager does
with respect to other similar hotels the Manager owns, leases or manages under
the Marriott name in the United States pursuant to any established self
insurance program of Marriott International, Inc.
9.6 No Separate Insurance. Tenant shall not take out separate
---------------------
insurance, concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that
required by this Article 9, or increase the amount of any existing insurance by
---------
securing an additional policy or additional policies, unless all parties having
an insurable interest in the subject matter of such insurance, including
Landlord and all Hotel Mortgagees, are included therein as additional insureds
and the loss is payable under such insurance in the same manner as losses are
payable under this Agreement. In the event Tenant shall take out any such
separate insurance or increase any of the amounts of the then existing
insurance, Tenant shall give Landlord prompt Notice thereof.
9.7 Indemnification of Landlord. Notwithstanding the existence of
---------------------------
any insurance provided for herein and without regard to the policy limits of any
such insurance, Tenant shall protect, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord for,
from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties,
causes of action, costs and reasonable expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees), to the maximum extent permitted by law, imposed
upon or incurred by or asserted against Landlord by reason of: (a) any
accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property
occurring on or about the Leased Property or adjoining sidewalks or rights of
way, (b) any past, present or future use, misuse, non-use, condition,
management, maintenance or repair by Tenant or anyone claiming under Tenant of
the Leased Property or Tenant's Personal Property
-38-
or any litigation, proceeding or claim by governmental entities or other third
parties to which Landlord is made a party or participant relating to the Leased
Property or Tenant's Personal Property or such use, misuse, non-use, condition,
management, maintenance, or repair thereof including, failure to perform
obligations (other than Condemnation proceedings) to which Landlord is made a
party, (c) any Impositions that are the obligations of Tenant to pay pursuant to
the applicable provisions of this Agreement, and (d) any failure on the part of
Tenant or anyone claiming under Tenant to perform or comply with any of the
terms of this Agreement. Tenant, at its expense, shall contest, resist and
defend any such claim, action or proceeding asserted or instituted against
Landlord (and shall not be responsible for any duplicative attorneys' fees
incurred by Landlord) or may compromise or otherwise dispose of the same, with
Landlord's prior written consent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed). In the event Landlord shall unreasonably withhold or delay its
consent, Tenant shall not be liable pursuant to this Section 9.7 for any
-----------
incremental increase in costs or expenses resulting therefrom. The obligations
of Tenant under this Section 9.7 are in addition to the obligations set forth in
-----------
Section 4.3 and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 10
-----------
CASUALTY
--------
10.1 Insurance Proceeds. Except as provided in the last clause of
------------------
this sentence, all proceeds payable by reason of any loss or damage to the
Leased Property, or any portion thereof, and insured under any policy of
insurance required by Article 9 (other than the proceeds of any business
---------
interruption insurance) shall be paid directly to Landlord (subject to the
provisions of Section 10.2) and all loss adjustments with respect to losses
------------
payable to Landlord shall require the prior written consent of Landlord;
provided, however, that, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and
-------- -------
be continuing, all such proceeds less than or equal to Two Hundred Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($250,000) shall be paid directly to Tenant or the Manager and
such losses may be adjusted without Landlord's consent. If Tenant is required
to reconstruct or repair the Leased Property as provided herein, such proceeds
shall be paid out by Landlord from time to time for the reasonable costs of
reconstruction or repair of the Leased Property necessitated by such damage or
destruction, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2.4.
---------------
Provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any
excess proceeds of insurance remaining after the completion of the restoration
shall be paid to Tenant or the Manager. In the event that the provisions of
Section 10.2.1 are
--------------
-39-
applicable, the insurance proceeds shall be retained by the party entitled
thereto pursuant to Section 10.2.1. All salvage resulting from any risk covered
--------------
by insurance shall belong to Landlord, provided any rights to the same have been
waived by the insurer.
10.2 Damage or Destruction.
---------------------
10.2.1 Damage or Destruction of Leased Property. If, during the
----------------------------------------
Term, the Leased Property shall be totally or partially destroyed and the Hotel
located thereon is thereby rendered Unsuitable for Its Permitted Use, either
Landlord or Tenant may, by the giving of Notice thereof to the other, terminate
this Agreement, whereupon, this Agreement shall terminate and Landlord shall be
entitled to retain the insurance proceeds payable on account of such damage.
10.2.2 Partial Damage or Destruction. If, during the Term, the
-----------------------------
Leased Property shall be totally or partially destroyed but the Hotel is not
rendered Unsuitable for Its Permitted Use, Tenant shall, subject to Section
-------
10.2.3, promptly restore the Hotel as provided in Section 10.2.4.
------ --------------
10.2.3 Insufficient Insurance Proceeds. If the cost of the
-------------------------------
repair or restoration of the Leased Property exceeds the amount of insurance
proceeds received by Landlord and Tenant pursuant to Article 9(a), (c), (d) or,
--------------------------
if applicable, (e), Tenant shall give Landlord Notice thereof which notice shall
------------------
set forth in reasonable detail the nature of such deficiency and whether Tenant
shall pay and assume the amount of such deficiency (Tenant having no obligation
to do so, except that, if Tenant shall elect to make such funds available, the
same shall become an irrevocable obligation of Tenant pursuant to this
Agreement). In the event Tenant shall elect not to pay and assume the amount of
such deficiency, Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation),
exercisable at Landlord's sole election by Notice to Tenant, given within sixty
(60) days after Tenant's notice of the deficiency, to elect to make available
for application to the cost of repair or restoration the amount of such
deficiency; provided, however, in such event, upon any disbursement by Landlord
-------- -------
thereof, the Minimum Rent shall be adjusted as provided in Section 3.1.1(b). In
----------------
the event that neither Landlord nor Tenant shall elect to make such deficiency
available for restoration, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this
Agreement by Notice to the other, whereupon, this Agreement shall terminate as
provided in Section 10.2.1. It is expressly understood and agreed, however,
--------------
that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Tenant shall
be strictly liable and solely responsible for the amount of any deductible and
shall, upon any insurable loss, pay over the amount of such
-40-
deductible to Landlord at the time and in the manner herein provided for payment
of the applicable proceeds to Landlord.
10.2.4 Disbursement of Proceeds. In the event Tenant is required to
------------------------
restore the Leased Property pursuant to Section 10.2, Tenant shall (or shall
------------
direct the Manager to) commence promptly and continue diligently to perform the
repair and restoration of the Leased Property (hereinafter called the "Work"),
----
so as to restore the Leased Property in compliance with all Legal Requirements
and so that the Leased Property shall be, to the extent practicable,
substantially equivalent in value and general utility to its general utility and
value immediately prior to such damage or destruction. Subject to the terms
hereof, Landlord shall advance the insurance proceeds and any additional amounts
payable by Landlord pursuant to Section 10.2.3 to Tenant regularly during the
--------------
repair and restoration period so as to permit payment for the cost of any such
restoration and repair. Any such advances shall be made not more than monthly
within ten (10) Business Days after Tenant submits to Landlord a written
requisition and substantiation therefor on AIA Forms G702 and G703 (or on such
other form or forms as may be reasonably acceptable to Landlord). Landlord may,
at its option, condition advancement of said insurance proceeds and other
amounts on (i) the absence of any Event of Default, (ii) its approval of plans
and specifications of an architect satisfactory to Landlord (which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (iii) general contractors'
estimates, (iv) architect's certificates, (v) unconditional lien waivers of
general contrac tors, if available, (vi) evidence of approval by all
governmental authorities and other regulatory bodies whose approval is required
and (vii) such other certificates as Landlord may, from time to time, reasonably
require.
Landlord's obligation to disburse insurance proceeds under this
Article 10 shall be subject to the release of such proceeds by any Hotel
----------
Mortgagee to Landlord.
Tenant's obligation to restore the Leased Property pursuant to this
Article 10 shall be subject to the release of available insurance proceeds by
----------
the applicable Hotel Mortgagee to Landlord or directly to Tenant or the Manager
and, in the event such proceeds are insufficient, Landlord electing to make such
deficiency available therefor (and disbursement of such deficiency).
10.3 Damage Near End of Term. Notwithstanding any provisions of
-----------------------
Section 10.1 or 10.2 to the contrary, if damage to or destruction of the Leased
--------------------
Property occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the fourth Extended Term
and if such damage or destruction cannot reasonably be expected to be fully
repaired and restored prior to the date that is six (6) months prior to
-41-
the end of such Extended Term, the provisions of Section 10.2.1 shall apply as
--------------
if the Leased Property had been totally or partially destroyed and the Hotel
rendered Unsuitable for its Permitted Use.
10.4 Tenant's Property. All insurance proceeds payable by reason of
-----------------
any loss of or damage to any of Tenant's Personal Property shall be paid to
Tenant and, to the extent necessary to repair or replace Tenant's Personal
Property in accordance with Section 10.5, Tenant shall hold such proceeds in
------------
trust to pay the cost of repairing or replacing damaged Tenant's Personal
Property.
10.5 Restoration of Tenant's Property. If Tenant is required to
--------------------------------
restore the Leased Property as hereinabove provided, Tenant shall either (a)
restore all alterations and improvements made by Tenant and Tenant's Personal
Property, or (b) replace such alterations and improvements and Tenant's Personal
Property with improvements or items of the same or better quality and utility in
the operation of the Leased Property.
10.6 No Abatement of Rent. This Agreement shall remain in full force
--------------------
and effect and Tenant's obligation to make all payments of Rent and to pay all
other charges as and when required under this Agreement shall remain unabated
during the Term notwithstanding any damage involving the Leased Property
(provided that Landlord shall credit against such payments any amounts paid to
Landlord as a consequence of such damage under any business interruption
insurance obtained by Tenant hereunder). The provisions of this Article 10
----------
shall be considered an express agreement governing any cause of damage or
destruction to the Leased Property and, to the maximum extent permitted by law,
no local or State statute, laws, rules, regulation or ordinance in effect during
the Term which provide for such a contingency shall have any application in such
case.
10.7 Waiver. Tenant hereby waives any statutory rights of
------
termination which may arise by reason of any damage or destruction of the Leased
Property.
ARTICLE 11
-----------
CONDEMNATION
------------
11.1 Total Condemnation, Etc. If either (i) the whole of the Leased
------------------------
Property shall be taken by Condemnation or (ii) a Condemnation of less than the
whole of the Leased Property renders the Leased Property Unsuitable for Its
Permitted Use, this Agreement shall terminate and Tenant and Landlord shall seek
-42-
the Award for their interests in the Leased Property as provided in Section
-------
11.5.
-----
11.2 Partial Condemnation. In the event of a Condemnation of less
--------------------
than the whole of the Leased Property such that the Leased Property is still
suitable for its Permitted Use, Tenant shall, or shall direct the Manager to, to
the extent of the Award and any additional amounts disbursed by Landlord as
hereinafter provided, commence promptly and continue diligently to restore the
untaken portion of the Leased Improvements so that such Leased Improvements
shall constitute a complete architectural unit of the same general character and
condition (as nearly as may be possible under the circumstances) as the Leased
Improvements existing immediately prior to such Condemnation, in full compliance
with all Legal Requirements, subject to the provisions of this Section 11.2. If
------------
the cost of the repair or restoration of the Leased Property exceeds the amount
of the Award, Tenant shall give Landlord Notice thereof which notice shall set
forth in reasonable detail the nature of such deficiency and whether Tenant
shall pay and assume the amount of such deficiency (Tenant having no obligation
to do so, except that if Tenant shall elect to make such funds available, the
same shall become an irrevocable obligation of Tenant pursuant to this
Agreement). In the event Tenant shall elect not to pay and assume the amount of
such deficiency, Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation),
exercisable at Landlord's sole election by Notice to Tenant given within sixty
(60) days after Tenant's Notice of the deficiency, to elect to make available
for application to the cost of repair or restoration the amount of such
deficiency; provided, however, in such event, upon any disbursement by Landlord
-------- -------
thereof, the Minimum Rent shall be adjusted as provided in Section 3.1.1(b). In
----------------
the event that neither Landlord nor Tenant shall elect to make such deficiency
available for restoration, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this
Agreement and the entire Award shall be retained by Landlord.
Subject to the terms hereof, Landlord shall contribute to the cost of
restoration that part of the Award necessary to complete such repair or
restoration, together with severance and other damages awarded for the taken
Leased Improvements and any deficiency Landlord has agreed to disburse, to
Tenant regularly during the restoration period so as to permit payment for the
cost of such repair or restoration. Landlord may, at its option, condition
advancement of such Award and other amounts on (i) the absence of any Event of
Default, (ii) its approval of plans and specifications of an architect
satisfactory to Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), (iii) general contractors' estimates, (iv) architect's certificates,
(v) unconditional lien waivers of general contractors, if available, (vi)
evidence of approval by all governmental
-43-
authorities and other regulatory bodies whose approval is required and (vii)
such other certificates as Landlord may, from time to time, reasonably require.
Landlord's obligation under this Section 11.2 to disburse the Award and such
------------
other amounts shall be subject to (x) the collection thereof by Landlord and (y)
the satisfaction of any applicable requirements of any Hotel Mortgage, and the
release of such Award by the applicable Hotel Mortgagee. Tenant's obligation to
restore the Leased Property shall be subject to the release of the Award by the
applicable Hotel Mortgagee to Landlord.
11.3 Abatement of Rent. Other than as specifically provided in this
-----------------
Agreement, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and Tenant's
obligation to make all payments of Rent and to pay all other charges as and when
required under this Agreement shall remain unabated during the Term
notwithstanding any Condemnation involving the Leased Property. The provisions
of this Article 11 shall be considered an express agreement governing any
----------
Condemnation involving the Leased Property and, to the maximum extent permitted
by law, no local or State statute, law, rule, regulation or ordinance in effect
during the Term which provides for such a contingency shall have any application
in such case.
11.4 Temporary Condemnation. In the event of any temporary
----------------------
Condemnation of the Leased Property or Tenant's interest therein, this Agreement
shall continue in full force and effect and Tenant shall continue to pay, in the
manner and on the terms herein specified, the full amount of the Rent. Tenant
shall continue to perform and observe all of the other terms and conditions of
this Agreement on the part of the Tenant to be performed and observed. Provided
no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the entire amount of any
Award made for such temporary Condemnation allocable to the Term, whether paid
by way of damages, rent or otherwise, shall be paid to Tenant. Tenant shall,
promptly upon the termination of any such period of temporary Condemnation, at
its sole cost and expense, restore the Leased Property to the condition that
existed immediately prior to such Condemnation, in full compliance with all
Legal Requirements, unless such period of temporary Condemnation shall extend
beyond the expiration of the Term, in which event Tenant shall not be required
to make such restoration. For purposes of this Section 11.4, a Condemnation
------------
shall be deemed to be temporary if the period of such Condemnation is not
expected to, and does not, exceed twelve (12) months.
11.5 Allocation of Award. Except as provided in Section 11.4 and the
------------------- ------------
second sentence of this Section 11.5, the total Award shall be solely the
------------
property of and payable to Landlord. Any portion of the Award made for the
taking of Tenant's leasehold interest in the Leased Property, loss of business
-44-
during the remainder of the Term, the taking of Tenant's Personal Property, or
Tenant's removal and relocation expenses shall be the sole property of and
payable to Tenant (subject to the provisions of Section 11.2). In any
------------
Condemnation proceedings, Landlord and Tenant shall each seek its own Award in
conformity herewith, at its own expense.

from Landlord to Tenant (provided that no such Notice shall be required if
Landlord shall reasonably determine immediate action is necessary to protect
person or property); provided, however, that if such default is susceptible of
-------- -------
cure but such cure cannot be accomplished with due diligence within such period
of time and if, in addition, Tenant commences to cure or cause to be cured such
default within fifteen (15) days after Notice thereof from Landlord and

payable prior
-45-
to the stated maturity thereof, or should there occur and be continuing with
respect to any such Indebtedness or Retained Funds any event of default under
any instrument or agreement evidencing or securing the same, the effect of which
is to permit the holder or holders of such instrument or agreement or a trustee,
agent or other representative on behalf of such holder or holders, to cause such
any such obligations to become due prior to its stated maturity; or
(e) should an event of default occur and be continuing beyond the
expiration of any applicable cure period under any of the Incidental Documents,
the Other Leases, or by Host or the Sellers (as defined therein) under the

limitation of any material license, permit, certification or approval under any
other circumstances under which Tenant or the Manager is required to cease its
operation of the Hotel in accordance with its Permitted Use at the time of such
loss or limitation; or
(g) should any material representation or warranty made by Tenant or
the Sellers (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) under or in connection with
this Agreement, any Incidental Document, the Other Leases or the Purchase
Agreement, or in any document, certificate or agreement delivered in connection
herewith or therewith prove to have been false or misleading in any material
respect on the date when made or deemed made; or
(h) should Tenant generally not be paying its debts as they become
due or should Tenant make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or
(i) should any petition be filed by or against Tenant under the
Federal bankruptcy laws, or should any other proceeding be instituted by or

appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for
Tenant or for any substantial part of the property of Tenant and such proceeding
is not dismissed within ninety (90) days after institution thereof, or should
-46-
Tenant take any action to authorize or effect any of the actions set forth above
in this paragraph; or
(j) should Tenant cause or institute any proceeding for its
dissolution or termination; or
(k) should an event of default occur and be continuing under any
mortgage which is secured by Tenant's leasehold interest hereunder or should the
mortgagee under any such mortgage accelerate the indebtedness secured thereby or
com mence a foreclosure action in connection with said mortgage; or
(l) should the estate or interest of Tenant in the Leased Property or
any part thereof be levied upon or attached in any proceeding and the same shall
not be vacated or discharged within the later of (x) one hundred and twenty
(120) days after commencement thereof, unless the amount in dispute is less than
$250,000, in which case Tenant shall give notice to Landlord of the dispute but
Tenant may defend in any suitable way, and (y) thirty (30) days after receipt by
Tenant of Notice thereof from Landlord (unless Tenant shall be contesting such
lien or attachment in good faith in accordance with Article 8); or
---------
(m) should any Event of Default (as defined in the Management
Agreement) by Tenant as "Owner" under the Management Agreement occur and be
continuing beyond the expiration of any applicable cure period under the
Management Agreement; or
(n) should Tenant at any time cease to be a
direct or indirect Subsidiary of Host;
then, and in any such event, Landlord, in addition to all other remedies
available to it, may terminate this Agreement by giving Notice thereof to Tenant
and upon the expiration of the time, if any, fixed in such Notice, this
Agreement shall terminate and all rights of Tenant under this Agreement shall
cease. Landlord shall have and may exercise all rights and remedies available
at law and in equity to Landlord as a result of Tenant's breach of this
Agreement.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, subject to the rights of
the Manager under the Management Agreement, Landlord may, in addition to any
other remedies provided herein, enter upon the Leased Property or any portion
thereof and take possession of any and all of Tenant's Personal Property, if
any, and the Records, without liability for trespass or conversion (Tenant
hereby waiving any right to notice or hearing prior to such taking of possession
by Landlord) and sell the same at
-47-
public or private sale, after giving Tenant reasonable Notice of the time and
place of any public or private sale, at which sale Landlord or its assigns may
purchase all or any portion of Tenant's Personal Property, if any, unless
otherwise prohibited by law. Unless otherwise provided by law and without
intending to exclude any other manner of giving Tenant reasonable notice, the
requirement of reasonable Notice shall be met if such Notice is given at least
five (5) days before the date of sale. The proceeds from any such disposition,
less all expenses incurred in connection with the taking of possession, holding
and selling of such property (including, reasonable attorneys' fees) shall be
applied as a credit against the indebtedness which is secured by the security
interest granted in Section 7.2. Any surplus shall be paid to Tenant or as
-----------
otherwise required by law and Tenant shall pay any deficiency to Landlord, as
Additional Charges, upon demand.
12.2 Remedies. None of (a) the termination of this Agreement

pursuant to Section 12.1, (b) the repossession of the Leased Property or any
------------
portion thereof, (c) the failure of Landlord to re-let the Leased Property or
any portion thereof, nor (d) the reletting of all or any of portion of the
Leased Property, shall relieve Tenant of its liability and obligations
hereunder, all of which shall survive any such termination, repossession or re-
letting. In the event of any such termination, Tenant shall forthwith pay to
Landlord all Rent due and payable with respect to the Leased Property through
and including the date of such termination. Thereafter, Tenant, until the end
of what would have been the Term of this Agreement in the absence of such
termination, and whether or not the Leased Property or any portion thereof shall
have been re-let, shall be liable to Landlord for, and shall pay to Landlord, as
current damages, the Rent and other charges which would be payable hereunder for
the remainder of the Term had such termination not occurred, less the net
proceeds, if any, of any re-letting of the Leased Property, after deducting all
reasonable expenses in connection with such reletting, including, without
limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses,
attorneys' fees, advertising, expenses of employees, alteration costs and
expenses of preparation for such reletting. Tenant shall pay such current
damages to Landlord monthly on the days on which the Minimum Rent would have
been payable hereunder if this Agreement had not been so terminated with respect
to such of the Leased Property.
At any time after such termination, whether or not Landlord shall have
collected any such current damages, as liquidated final damages beyond the date
of such termination, at Landlord's election, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an
amount equal to the present value (discounted at the Interest Rate) of the
excess, if any, of the Rent and other charges which would be payable
-48-
hereunder from the date of such termination (assuming that, for the purposes of
this paragraph, annual payments by Tenant on account of Impositions and
Additional Rent would be the same as payments required for the immediately
preceding twelve calendar months, or if less than twelve calendar months have
expired since the Commencement Date, the payments required for such lesser
period projected to an annual amount) for what would be the then unexpired term
of this Agreement if the same remained in effect, over the fair market rental
for the same period. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall, however, limit
or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove and obtain in proceedings for
bankruptcy or insolvency an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute
or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in
which, the damages are to be proved, whether or not the amount be greater than,
equal to, or less than the amount of the loss or damages referred to above.
In case of any Event of Default, re-entry, expiration and
dispossession by summary proceedings or otherwise, Landlord may, subject to the
rights of the Manager under the Management Agreement, (a) relet the Leased
Property or any part or parts thereof, either in the name of Landlord or
otherwise, for a term or terms which may at Landlord's option, be equal to, less
than or exceed the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of
the Term and may grant concessions or free rent to the extent that Landlord
considers advisable and necessary to relet the same, and (b) may make such
reasonable alterations, repairs and decorations in the Leased Property or any
portion thereof as Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, considers
advisable and necessary for the purpose of reletting the Leased Property; and
the making of such alterations, repairs and decorations shall not operate or be
construed to release Tenant from liability hereunder as aforesaid. Subject to
the last sentence of this paragraph, Landlord shall in no event be liable in any
way whatsoever for any failure to relet all or any portion of the Leased
Property, or, in the event that the Leased Property is relet, for failure to
collect the rent under such reletting. To the maximum extent permitted by law,
Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted under
any present or future laws in the event of Tenant being evicted or dispossessed,
or in the event of Landlord obtaining possession of the Leased Property, by
reason of the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default hereunder.
Landlord covenants and agrees, in the event of any termination of this Agreement
as a result of an Event of Default, to use reasonable efforts to mitigate its
damages.
12.3 Tenant's Waiver. IF THIS AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED PURSUANT TO
---------------
SECTION 12.1 OR 12.2, TENANT WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT
--------------------
TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN THE EVENT OF SUMMARY PROCEEDINGS TO ENFORCE THE REMEDIES
SET FORTH IN THIS
-49-
ARTICLE 12, AND THE BENEFIT OF ANY LAWS NOW OR HEREAFTER IN FORCE EXEMPTING
----------
PROPERTY FROM LIABILITY FOR RENT OR FOR DEBT. IN ADDITION, TENANT UNDERSTANDS,
ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, IN THE EVENT THIS AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED PURSUANT
TO SECTION 12.1 OR 12.2, THE RETAINED FUNDS (AS DEFINED IN THE PURCHASE
--------------------
AGREEMENT) SHALL NOT BE PAID OR PAYABLE (TENANT WAIVING, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND
ITS AFFILIATED PERSONS, ALL CLAIMS AND CAUSES OF ACTION WITH RESPECT THERETO).
12.4 Application of Funds. Any payments received by Landlord under
--------------------
any of the provisions of this Agreement during the existence or continuance of
any Event of Default (and any payment made to Landlord rather than Tenant due to
the existence of any Event of Default) shall be applied to Tenant's current and
past due obligations under this Agreement in such order as Landlord may
determine or as may be prescribed by the laws of the State.
12.5 Landlord's Right to Cure Tenant's Default. If an Event of
-----------------------------------------
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Landlord, after Notice to Tenant
(which Notice shall not be required if Landlord shall reasonably determine
immediate action is necessary to protect person or property), without waiving or
releasing any obligation of Tenant and without waiving or releasing any Event of
Default, may (but shall not be obligated to), at any time thereafter, make such
payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of Tenant, and
may, to the maximum extent permitted by law, enter upon the Leased Property or
any portion thereof for such purpose and take all such action thereon as, in
Landlord's sole and absolute discretion, may be necessary or appropriate
therefor. No such entry shall be deemed an eviction of Tenant. All reasonable
costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees)
incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, together with interest thereon (to
the extent permitted by law) at the Overdue Rate from the date such sums are
paid by Landlord until repaid, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord, on demand.
ARTICLE 13
-----------
HOLDING OVER
------------
Any holding over by Tenant after the expiration or sooner termination
of this Agreement shall be treated as a daily tenancy at sufferance at a rate
equal to one and one-half (1.5) times the Rent and other charges herein provided
(prorated on a daily basis). Tenant shall also pay to Landlord all damages
(direct or indirect) sustained by reason of any such holding over. Otherwise,
such holding over shall be on the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement, to the extent applicable. Nothing contained herein shall constitute
the consent, express or
-50-
implied, of Landlord to the holding over of Tenant after the expiration or
earlier termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 14
-----------
LANDLORD'S NOTICE OBLIGATIONS; LANDLORD DEFAULT
-----------------------------------------------
14.1 Landlord Notice Obligation. Landlord shall give prompt Notice
--------------------------
to Tenant and the Manager of any matters affecting the Leased Property of which
Landlord receives written notice or actual knowledge and, to the extent Tenant
otherwise has no notice or actual knowledge thereof, Landlord shall be liable
for any liabilities arising from the failure to deliver such Notice to Tenant.
Landlord shall not amend the Management Agreement or any other agreement
affecting the Leased Property without Tenant's prior written consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
14.2 Landlord's Default. If Landlord shall default in the
------------------
performance or observance of any of its covenants or obligations set forth in
this Agreement or any obligation of Landlord, if any, under any agreement
affecting the Leased Property, the performance of which is not Tenant's
obligation pursuant to this Agreement, and any such default shall continue for a
period of ten (10) days after Notice thereof with respect to monetary defaults
and thirty (30) days after Notice thereof with respect to non-monetary defaults
from Tenant to Landlord and any applicable Hotel Mortgagee, or such additional
period as may be reasonably required to correct the same, Tenant may declare the
occurrence of a "Landlord Default" by a second Notice to Landlord and to such
----------------
Hotel Mortgagee. Thereafter, Tenant may forthwith cure the same and, subject to
the provisions of the following paragraph, invoice Landlord for costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) incurred by
Tenant in curing the same, together with interest thereon from the date Landlord
receives Tenant's invoice, at the Overdue Rate. Tenant shall have no right to
terminate this Agreement for any default by Landlord hereunder and no right, for
any such default, to offset or counterclaim against any Rent or other charges
due hereunder.
If Landlord shall in good faith dispute the occurrence of any Landlord
Default and Landlord, before the expiration of the applicable cure period, shall
give Notice thereof to Tenant, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis
therefor, no Landlord Default shall be deemed to have occurred and Landlord
shall have no obligation with respect thereto until final adverse determination
thereof; provided, however, that in the event of any such adverse determination,
-------- -------
Landlord shall pay to Tenant interest on any disputed funds at the Interest
Rate, from the
-51-
date demand for such funds was made by Tenant until the date of final adverse
determination and, thereafter, at the Overdue Rate until paid. If Tenant and
Landlord shall fail, in good faith, to resolve any such dispute within ten (10)
days after Landlord's Notice of dispute, either may submit the matter for
resolution to a court of competent jurisdiction.

SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT
-------------------------
16.1 Subletting and Assignment. Except as provided in Section 16.3
------------------------- ------------
below, Tenant shall not, without Landlord's prior written consent (which consent
may be given or withheld in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion), assign,
mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise transfer this Agreement or
sublease (which term shall be deemed to include the granting of concessions,
licenses and the like), all or any part of the Leased Property or suffer or
permit this Agreement or the leasehold estate created hereby or any other rights
arising under this Agreement to be assigned, transferred, mortgaged, pledged,
hypothecated or encumbered, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily,
involuntarily or by operation of law, or permit the use or operation of the
Leased Property by anyone other than Tenant and the Manager, or the Leased
Property to be offered or advertised for assignment or subletting. For purposes
of this Section 16.1, an assignment of this Agreement shall be deemed to include
------------
any direct or indirect transfer of any interest in Tenant such that Tenant shall
cease to be a direct or indirect Subsidiary of Host or any transaction pursuant
to which Tenant is merged or consolidated with another Entity or pursuant to
which all or substantially all of Tenant's assets are transferred to any other
Entity, as if such change in control or transaction were an assignment of this
Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord agrees that Landlord shall not
unreasonably withhold, delay or condition Landlord's consent to an assignment of
this Agreement by Tenant provided that (i) Tenant shall simultaneously assign
its interest under all of the Other Leases to the same assignee on the same
terms and conditions, (ii) the Manager shall have granted its consent to such
transfer and the Management Agreement and all of the other Management Agreements
(as defined therein) under the Other Leases shall remain in full force and
effect, (iii) such assignee shall, in Landlord's reasonable determination, have
sufficient
-52-
financial resources and liquidity to fulfill Tenant's obligations under this
Agreement and the Other Leases, and (iv) such assignee shall not be under common
control with or controlled by persons who have been convicted of felonies
involving moral turpitude in any state or federal court. If Tenant wishes to
assign this Agreement as provided in this paragraph, Tenant shall give Landlord
Notice thereof (the "Request Notice"), which Request Notice shall identify the
--------------
proposed assignee and the terms and conditions of the assignment and shall
include appropriate information relating to such assignee demonstrating
compliance with the provisions of this paragraph. Landlord shall, within sixty
(60) days after the giving the Request Notice, give Notice to Tenant (the
"Response Notice") as to whether Landlord consents to such transfer. Landlord
----------------
shall also have the right, exercisable by notice given in the Response Notice,
to require Tenant to assign this Agreement to a Person designated by Landlord on
the same terms and conditions as those described in the Request Notice for
transfer to Tenant's proposed assignee.
If this Agreement is assigned or if the Leased Property or any part
thereof are sublet (or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, the Manager and
their respective employees) Landlord may collect the rents from such assignee,
subtenant or occupant, as the case may be, and apply the net amount collected to
the Rent herein reserved, but no such collection shall be deemed a waiver of the
provisions set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 16.1, the acceptance
------------
by Landlord of such assignee, subtenant or occupant, as the case may be, as a
tenant, or a release of Tenant from the future performance by Tenant of its
covenants, agreements or obligations contained in this Agreement.
No subletting or assignment shall in any way impair the continuing
primary liability of Tenant hereunder (unless Landlord and Tenant expressly
otherwise agree that Tenant shall be released from all obligations hereunder),
and no consent to any subletting or assignment in a particular instance shall be
deemed to be a waiver of the prohibition set forth in this Section 16.1. No
------------
assignment, subletting or occupancy shall affect any Permitted Use. Any
subletting, assignment or other transfer of Tenant's interest under this
Agreement in contravention of this Section 16.1 shall be voidable at Landlord's
------------
option.
16.2 Required Sublease Provisions. Any sublease of all or any
----------------------------
portion of the Leased Property entered into on or after the date hereof shall be
consistent with any applicable terms and conditions of the Management Agreement
and shall provide (a) that it is subject and subordinate to this Agreement and
to the matters to which this Agreement is or shall be subject or subordinate;
(b) that in the event of termination of this Agreement or reentry or
dispossession of Tenant by Landlord under this Agreement, Landlord may, at its
option, terminate such
-53-
sublease or take over all of the right, title and interest of Tenant, as
sublessor under such sublease, and such subtenant shall, at Landlord's option,
attorn to Landlord pursuant to the then executory provisions of such sublease,
except that neither Landlord nor any Hotel Mortgagee, as holder of a mortgage or
as Landlord under this Agreement, if such mortgagee succeeds to that position,
shall (i) be liable for any act or omission of Tenant under such sublease, (ii)
be subject to any credit, counterclaim, offset or defense which theretofore
accrued to such subtenant against Tenant, (iii) be bound by any previous
modification of such sublease not consented to in writing by Landlord or by any
previous prepayment of more than one (1) month's Rent, (iv) be bound by any
covenant of Tenant to undertake or complete any construction of the Leased
Property or any portion thereof, (v) be required to account for any security
deposit of the subtenant other than any security deposit actually delivered to
Landlord by Tenant, (vi) be bound by any obligation to make any payment to such
subtenant or grant any credits, except for services, repairs, maintenance and
restoration provided for under the sublease that are performed after the date of
such attornment, (vii) be responsible for any monies owing by Tenant to the
credit of such subtenant, or (viii) be required to remove any Person oc cupying
any portion of the Leased Property; and (c), in the event that such subtenant
receives a written Notice from Landlord or any Hotel Mortgagee stating that an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such subtenant shall thereafter
be obligated to pay all rentals accruing under such sublease directly to the
party giving such Notice or as such party may direct. All rentals received from
such subtenant by Landlord or the Hotel Mortgagee, as the case may be, shall be
credited against the amounts owing by Tenant under this Agreement and such
sublease shall provide that the subtenant thereunder shall, at the request of
Landlord, execute a suitable instrument in confirmation of such agreement to
attorn. An original counterpart of each such sublease and assignment and
assumption, duly executed by Tenant and such subtenant or assignee, as the case
may be, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, shall be
delivered promptly to Landlord and (a) in the case of an assignment, the
assignee shall assume in writing and agree to keep and perform all of the terms
of this Agreement on the part of Tenant to be kept and performed and shall be,
and become, jointly and severally liable with Tenant for the performance thereof
and (b) in case of either an assignment or subletting, Tenant shall remain
primarily liable, as principal rather than as surety, for the prompt payment of
the Rent and for the performance and observance of all of the covenants and
conditions to be performed by Tenant hereunder.
The provisions of this Section 16.2 shall not be deemed a waiver of
------------
the provisions set forth in the first paragraph of Section 16.1.
------------
-54-
16.3 Permitted Sublease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject
------------------
to the provisions of Section 16.4 and any other express conditions or
------------
limitations set forth herein, Tenant may, in each instance after Notice to
Landlord (unless otherwise provided in the Management Agreement), sublease space
at the Leased Property for newsstand, gift shop, parking garage, health club,
restaurant, bar or commissary purposes or similar concessions in furtherance of
the Permitted Use, so long as such subleases do not demise, in the aggregate, in
excess of three thousand (3,000) square feet, will not violate or affect any
Legal Requirement or Insurance Requirement, and Tenant shall provide such
additional insurance coverage applicable to the activities to be conducted in
such subleased space as Landlord and any Hotel Mortgagee may reasonably require.
16.4 Sublease Limitation. For so long as Landlord or any Affiliated
-------------------
Person as to Landlord shall seek to qualify as a real estate investment trust,
anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant
shall not sublet the Leased Property on any basis such that the rental to be
paid by any sublessee thereunder would be based, in whole or in part, on either
(a) the income or profits derived by the business activities of such sublessee,
or (b) any other formula such that any portion of such sublease rental would
fail to qualify as "rents from real property" within the meaning of Section
856(d) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto.

and deliver any instrument that Landlord, the lessor under any such lease or the
holder of any such mortgage or the trustee or beneficiary of any deed of trust

to execute a suitable instrument in confirmation of Tenant's agreement to
attorn, as aforesaid and Landlord agrees to provide Tenant with an instrument of
nondisturbance and attornment from each such Superior Mortgagee and Superior
Landlord in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Tenant.

described Notice, and the curing of any of Landlord's defaults by such Hotel
Mortgagee or ground lessor shall be treated as performance by Landlord.
20.4 Transfer of Leased Property. Landlord shall not, without the

-----------
MISCELLANEOUS
-------------
22.1 Limitation on Payment of Rent. All agreements between Landlord
-----------------------------
and Tenant herein are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or
event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of Rent, or otherwise, shall
the Rent or any other amounts payable to Landlord under this Agreement exceed
the maximum permissible under applicable law, the benefit of which may be
asserted by Tenant as a defense, and if, from any circumstance whatsoever,
fulfillment of any provision of this Agreement, at the time performance of such
provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity
prescribed by law, or if from any circumstances Landlord should ever receive as
fulfillment of such provision such an excessive amount, then, ipso facto, the
---- -----
amount which would be excessive shall be applied to the reduction of the
installment(s) of Minimum Rent next due and not to the payment of such excessive
amount. This provision shall control every other provision of this Agreement
and any other agreements between Landlord and Tenant.
22.2 No Waiver. No failure by Landlord or Tenant to insist upon the
---------
strict performance of any term hereof or to exercise any right, power or remedy
consequent upon a breach thereof, and no acceptance of full or partial payment
of Rent during the continuance of any such breach, shall constitute a waiver of
any such breach or of any such term. To the maximum extent permitted by law, no
waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Agreement, which shall continue
in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent
breach.
22.3 Remedies Cumulative. To the maximum extent permitted by law,
-------------------
each legal, equitable or contractual right, power and remedy of Landlord or
Tenant, now or hereafter provided either in this Agreement or by statute or
otherwise, shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every
other right, power and remedy and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by
Landlord or Tenant (as applicable) of any one or more of such rights, powers and
remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or subsequent exercise by Landlord
of any or all of such other rights, powers and remedies.
-64-
22.4 Severability. Any clause, sentence, paragraph, section or
------------
provision of this Agreement held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid, illegal or ineffective shall not impair, invalidate or nullify the
remainder of this Agreement, but rather the effect thereof shall be confined to
the clause, sentence, paragraph, section or provision so held to be invalid,
illegal or ineffective, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such
invalid, illegal or ineffective provisions had never been contained therein.
22.5 Acceptance of Surrender. No surrender to Landlord of this
-----------------------
Agreement or of the Leased Property or any part thereof, or of any interest
therein, shall be valid or effective unless agreed to and accepted in writing by
Landlord and no act by Landlord or any representative or agent of Landlord,
other than such a written acceptance by Landlord, shall constitute an acceptance
of any such surrender.
22.6 No Merger of Title. It is expressly acknowledged and agreed
------------------
that it is the intent of the parties that there shall be no merger of this
Agreement or of the leasehold estate created hereby by reason of the fact that
the same Person may acquire, own or hold, directly or indirectly this Agreement
or the leasehold estate created hereby and the fee estate or ground landlord's
interest in the Leased Property.
22.7 Conveyance by Landlord. If Landlord or any successor owner of
----------------------
all or any portion of the Leased Property shall convey all or any portion of the
Leased Property in accordance with the terms hereof other than as security for a
debt, and the grantee or transferee of such of the Leased Property shall
expressly assume all obligations of Landlord hereunder arising or accruing from
and after the date of such conveyance or transfer, Landlord or such successor
owner, as the case may be, shall thereupon be released from all future
liabilities and obligations of Landlord under this Agreement with respect to
such of the Leased Property arising or accruing from and after the date of such
conveyance or other transfer and all such future liabilities and obligations
shall thereupon be binding upon the new owner.
22.8 Quiet Enjoyment. Provided that no Event of Default shall have
---------------
occurred and be continuing, Tenant shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and
enjoy the Leased Property for the Term, free of hindrance or molestation by
Landlord or anyone claiming by, through or under Landlord, but subject to (a)
any Encumbrance permitted under Article 20 or otherwise permitted to be created
----------
by Landlord hereunder, (b) all Permitted Encumbrances, (c) liens as to
obligations of Landlord that are either not yet due or which are being contested
in good faith and by proper proceedings, provided the same do not materially
interfere with Tenant's ability to operate the Hotel and (d) liens that have
-65-
been consented to in writing by Tenant. Except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, no failure by Landlord to comply with the foregoing covenant shall
give Tenant any right to cancel or terminate this Agreement or xxxxx, reduce or
make a deduction from or offset against the Rent or any other sum payable under
this Agreement, or to fail to perform any other obligation of Tenant hereunder.
22.9 Memorandum of Lease. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall record

of the other, enter into a short form memorandum of this Agreement, in form

consequential damages suffered by Tenant as the result of a breach of this
Agreement by Landlord. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be

any rights of Tenant under this Agreement. Except as otherwise set forth in

-67-
Agreement, any obligations of Tenant (including without limitation, any
monetary, repair and indemnification obligations) and Landlord shall survive the
expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement. Whenever it is provided in
this Agreement that Tenant shall direct the Manager to take any action, Tenant
shall not be deemed to have satisfied such obligation unless Tenant shall have
exhausted all applicable rights and remedies of Tenant as "Owner" under the
Management Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided with respect to

defined in the Purchase Agreement), nothing contained in this Agreement

limit or affect the meaning of the provisions hereof.

which has not been given or taken, or at the time of the transaction involved
shall not have been given or taken. Each party covenants that it has and will
