ARTICLE II
COMPENSATION OF MANAGERS; PRIORITIES FOR
DISTRIBUTION OF AGGREGATE OPERATING PROFIT
2.01. System and Management Fees
In lieu of the System Fee, the Priority Management Fee, the Base
Management Fee, the First Incentive Management Fee and the Second Incentive
Management Fee to be paid pursuant to Section 3.01 of each Management Agreement,
the Managers of the Portfolio Properties and Tenant agree that such Managers
shall be paid, collectively, the following management fees:
A. The Aggregate System Fee; plus
B. The Aggregate Priority Management Fee; plus
C. The Aggregate Base Management Fee; plus
D. The Aggregate First Incentive Management Fee; plus
E. The Aggregate Second Incentive Management Fee.
The Aggregate Priority Management Fee, the Aggregate First Incentive Management
Fee and the Aggregate Second Incentive Management Fee shall be allocated among
the Managers as the Managers shall determine in their sole discretion, and
Tenant shall have no responsibility or liability in connection with any such
allocation as determined by the Managers or the distribution thereof among the
Managers. If in any Portfolio Fiscal Year the amount of Aggregate Operating
Profit is insufficient, after distributions higher in the priority of payments
set forth in Section 2.02.A, to pay the full amount of the Aggregate Base
Management Fee, the Aggregate First Incentive Management Fee or the Aggregate
Second Incentive Management Fee due for such Portfolio Fiscal Year, the amount
paid shall be allocated among the Managers as the Managers shall determine in
their sole discretion, and any portion of the Aggregate Base Management Fee, the
Aggregate First Incentive Management Fee or the Aggregate Second Incentive
Management Fee for such Portfolio Fiscal Year left unpaid shall be deemed waived
and shall not accrue or be payable in any subsequent Portfolio Fiscal Year.
2.02 Priorities for Distribution of Aggregate Operating Profit
A. Aggregate Operating Profit shall be distributed, to the extent
available, in the following order of priority (which distributions Marriott is
irrevocably authorized to pay):
-9-
(1) First, to Tenant, in an amount equal to Aggregate Tenant's
First Priority.
(2) Second, to Tenant, in an amount equal to Aggregate Tenant's
Second Priority.
(3) Third, to Tenant, in an amount equal to Aggregate Tenant's
Third Priority.
(4) Fourth, To Tenant, in an amount necessary to replenish all
Holdback Agreement Advances.
(5) Fifth, to (i) Tenant in an amount necessary to reimburse
Tenant for all Tenant Working Capital Advances and Tenant Aggregate Operating
Loss Advances made by Tenant from time to time (collectively, "Tenant Advances")
which have not yet been repaid, and (ii) to Marriott in an amount necessary to
reimburse Marriott and/or any Affiliate for all Additional Marriott Advances and
all Additional Manager Advances made by Marriott or any Affiliate from time to
time which have not yet been repaid. If at any time the amounts available for
distribution to Tenant and Marriott pursuant to this Section 2.02.A(5)
("Available Funds") are insufficient (a) to repay to Tenant all outstanding
Tenant Advances (the "Sum Due Tenant"), and (b) to repay to Marriott all
outstanding Additional Marriott Advances and Additional Manager Advances (the
"Sum Due Marriott"), then (x) Tenant shall be paid from the Available Funds the
amount obtained by multiplying a number equal to the amount of the Available
Funds by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Sum Due Tenant and the
denominator of which is a number equal to the sum of the Sum Due Tenant and the
Sum Due Marriott, and (y) Marriott shall be paid from the Available Funds the
amount obtained by multiplying a number equal to the amount of the Available
Funds by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Sum Due Marriott and the
denominator of which is a number equal to the sum of the Sum Due Tenant and the
Sum Due Marriott.
(6) Sixth, to the Manager in an amount equal to the Aggregate
Priority Management Fee.
(7) Seventh, to the Managers in an amount equal to the Aggregate
Base Management Fee.
(8) Eighth, to the Managers, in an amount equal to the Aggregate
First Incentive Management Fee (however, in no event shall any amount be due or
payable by Marriott or any Manager pursuant to this clause (8) in the event the
Aggregate First Incentive Management Fee is equal to or less than Zero Dollars
($0.00).
(9) Ninth, to the Managers, in an amount equal to the Aggregate
Second Incentive Management Fee.
(10) Tenth, to Tenant, the balance, if any.
-10-
B. For any Portfolio Accounting Period, if Tenant does not receive on
or before the first day of each Portfolio Accounting Period Aggregate Tenant's
First Priority for such Portfolio Accounting Period (an "Aggregate Tenant's
First Priority Deficiency"), and further provided that if Marriott does not fund
such Aggregate Tenant's First Priority Deficiency (as an Additional Marriott
Advance hereunder) within ten (10) days of receiving written request for the
same from Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to effect a termination of this
Agreement and all (but not less than all) of the Management Agreements by
written notice to Marriott, which termination shall be effective as of the
effective date which is set forth in said notice, provided that said effective
date shall be at least thirty (30) days after the date of such notice. Such
termination (i) shall be in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.11 of
each Management Agreement, (ii) shall constitute a Manager Default under each
Management Agreement, and (iii) shall entitle Tenant to all rights and remedies
available to it with respect to Manager Defaults as provided for in Article IX
of each Management Agreement.
ARTICLE III
ACCOUNTING; INTERIM DISTRIBUTIONS; ANNUAL ADJUSTMENTS
3.01 Portfolio Accounting Periods; Statements; Distributions
A. The Accounting Periods applicable to the Domestic Hotels are
different than the Accounting Periods applicable to the Kauai Hotel in that the
Management Agreements applicable to the Domestic Hotels provide for thirteen
(13) Accounting Periods in each Fiscal Year, and the Management Agreement
applicable to the Kauai Hotel provides for twelve (12) Accounting Periods in
each Fiscal Year. In order to allow all of the Portfolio Properties to make
interim accountings and distributions on a pooled basis notwithstanding such
difference in Accounting Periods, all such interim accountings and distributions
with respect to such Portfolio Properties shall be made only following and with
respect to each Portfolio Accounting Period as provided for herein,
notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in any of the Management
Agreements.
B. Within twenty (20) days after the close of the last Accounting
Period included within a Portfolio Accounting Period, Marriott shall deliver an
interim accounting to Tenant showing Aggregate Gross Revenues, Aggregate
Deductions, Aggregate Operating Profit, and application and distributions
thereof. Notwithstanding the order of distribution of Aggregate Operating Profit
set forth in Section 2.02.A, for each Portfolio Accounting Period, Marriott
shall, with each such accounting, transfer to Tenant any interim amounts due
Tenant hereunder, transfer to the Managers any interim amounts due the Managers
(including, without limitation, the Aggregate Base Management Fee calculated on
a year-to-date basis for such Portfolio Fiscal Year), and retain any interim
amounts due to Marriott under Section 2.02.A. In addition, each Manager shall
provide Tenant with interim accountings pursuant to the applicable Management
Agreement on an Accounting Period basis for each Portfolio Property that it
manages as if the applicable Portfolio Property were not a participant in this
Agreement.
-11-
If the portion of Aggregate Operating Profit to be distributed to Tenant
pursuant to Items 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 of Section 2.02.A is insufficient to pay each
of such interim amounts then due in full following the end of any Portfolio
Accounting Period, any such interim amounts left unpaid shall be paid from and
to the extent of Aggregate Operating Profit available therefor at the time
distributions are made following successive Portfolio Accounting Periods until
such interim amounts are paid in full, and such payments shall be made from such
Aggregate Operating Profit in the same order of priority as other payments made
on account of such item in such following Portfolio Accounting Periods. If the
portion of Aggregate Operating Profit to be distributed to Marriott or the
Managers pursuant to Items 5, 6 or 7 of Section 2.02.A is insufficient to pay
each of such interim amounts then due in full following the end of any Portfolio
Accounting Period, any such interim amounts left unpaid shall be paid from and
to the extent of Aggregate Operating Profit available therefor at the time
distributions are made following successive Portfolio Accounting Periods until
such interim amounts are paid in full, and such payments shall be made from such
Aggregate Operating Profit in the same order of priority as other payments made
on account of such item in such following Portfolio Accounting Periods.
Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if, in any Portfolio Fiscal Year, the
Aggregate Base Management Fee, the Aggregate First Incentive Management Fee or
the Aggregate Second Incentive Management Fee is not payable under Section
2.02.A hereof, the Managers shall not be entitled to the payment of the portion
of the Aggregate Base Management Fee, the Aggregate First Incentive Management
Fee or the Aggregate Second Incentive Management Fee not payable under Section
2.02.A hereof, and in no event shall Tenant be liable for the payment of such
portion of the Aggregate Base Management Fee, the Aggregate First Incentive
Management Fee or the Aggregate Second Incentive Management Fee. The portion of
Aggregate Operating Profit to be distributed to Tenant for Aggregate Tenant's
First Priority and Aggregate Tenant's Third Priority for the then current
Portfolio Fiscal Year, as well as the portion of Aggregate Operating Profit to
be distributed to the Managers as their interim Aggregate First Incentive
Management Fee and Second Incentive Management Fee shall be determined by
applying a cumulative prorated amount to such Aggregate Tenant's First Priority,
Aggregate Tenant's Third Priority, Aggregate First Incentive Management Fee and
Aggregate Second Incentive Management Fee (calculated on a year-to-date basis,
with the prorated amount being one-thirteenth (1/13) of the total amount for
each of such items with respect to each of the Domestic Hotels, and one-twelfth
(1/12) of the total amount for each of such items with respect to the Kauai
Hotel, for each Portfolio Accounting Period of each Portfolio Fiscal Year) to
the year-to-date cumulative Aggregate Operating Profit (all such portions being
hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Prorated Portions"). In each of the
second through thirteenth Portfolio Accounting Periods, inclusive, the Prorated
Portions shall be adjusted to reflect distributions, in each instance, to Tenant
and the Managers and retention by Marriott of Aggregate Operating Profit with
respect to such Prorated Portions for prior Portfolio Accounting Periods during
the then current Portfolio Fiscal Year. All distributions shall be made in the
order of priority as set forth in Section 2.02.A.
-12-
3.02 Annual Accounting Statements and Cash Adjustments
A. The Fiscal Years applicable to the Domestic Hotels are different
than the Fiscal Years applicable to the Kauai Hotel in that the Management
Agreements applicable to the Domestic Hotels provide for a Fiscal Year
consisting of thirteen (13) Accounting Periods, and the Management Agreement
applicable to the Kauai Hotel provides for a Fiscal Year consisting of twelve
(12) Accounting Periods, and the beginning and end of each Fiscal Year
applicable to the Domestic Hotels and the corresponding Fiscal Year applicable
to the Kauai Hotel will, in most instances, begin and end on different dates. In
order to allow all of the Portfolio Properties to make annual accountings and
distributions on a pooled basis notwithstanding such difference in Fiscal Years,
all such annual accountings and distributions with respect to such Portfolio
Properties shall be made only following and with respect to each Portfolio
Fiscal Year as provided for herein, notwithstanding any provisions to the
contrary in any of the Management Agreements. Calculations and payments of the
Aggregate Base Management Fee, the Aggregate First Incentive Management Fee, the
Aggregate Second Incentive Management Fee, Tenant's First Priority, Tenant's
Second Priority, Tenant's Third Priority and distributions of Aggregate
Operating Profit made with respect to each Portfolio Accounting Period within a
Portfolio Fiscal Year shall be accounted for cumulatively. Within sixty (60)
days after the end of each Portfolio Fiscal Year, Marriott shall deliver to
Tenant a statement in reasonable detail summarizing the operations of the
Portfolio Properties for the immediately preceding Portfolio Fiscal Year and a
certificate of an officer of Marriott certifying that such year-end statement is
true and correct. Marriott, the Managers and Tenant shall, within ten (10)
Business Days after Tenant's receipt of such statement, make any adjustments, by
cash payment, in the amounts paid or retained for such Portfolio Fiscal Year as
are needed because of the final figures set forth in such statement. Such final
accounting shall be controlling over the interim accountings. No adjustment
shall be made for any Aggregate Operating Loss or Aggregate Operating Profit in
a preceding or subsequent Portfolio Fiscal Year, subject to the audit rights of
Tenant as set forth in each Management Agreement. Each Manager shall provide
Tenant with interim and annual statements pursuant to the applicable Management
Agreement for each Portfolio Property that it manages as if the applicable
Portfolio Property were not a participant in this Agreement.
B. In addition, on or before April 30 of each Fiscal Year, commencing
on the April 30 following the date hereof, Marriott shall deliver to Tenant and
Landlord an Officer's Certificate setting forth the totals of Aggregate Gross
Revenue, Aggregate Deductions, the calculation of Aggregate Tenant's Second
Priority and Aggregate Operating Profit After First Incentive Management Fee for
the Hotels with respect to which this Agreement was in effect for the preceding
Portfolio Fiscal Year, together with an audit thereof conducted by Xxxxxx
Xxxxxxxx LLP, or another so-called "Big Five" firm of independent certified
public accountants proposed by Manager and approved by Tenant and Landlord,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The cost of such
audit shall be an Aggregate Deduction hereunder.
-13-
3.03 Aggregate Operating Loss
To the extent there is an Aggregate Operating Loss for any Portfolio
Accounting Period, Tenant shall have the right, without any obligation and in
its sole and absolute discretion, to advance funds required to fund such
Aggregate Operating Loss within twenty (20) days after Marriott has delivered
written notice thereof to Tenant. Any Aggregate Operating Loss so funded by
Tenant shall constitute a "Tenant Aggregate Operating Loss Advance." Tenant
Operating Loss Advance shall be repaid in accordance with Section 2.02.A(5)
hereof. If Tenant does not funds such Aggregate Operating Loss, Marriott shall
also have the right, within twenty (20) days after such initial twenty (20) day
period, without any obligation and in its sole and absolute discretion, to
advance funds required to fund such Aggregate Operating Loss, and any such
advance shall constitute an Additional Marriott Advance. Additional Marriott
Advances shall be repaid in accordance with Section 2.02.A(5). If neither party
elects to fund such Aggregate Operating Loss as provided for herein, the parties
will have the rights set forth in Section 4.01.E of each Management Agreement
for such Portfolio Properties (which right may be exercised as to all, but not
less than all, of such Portfolio Properties).
ARTICLE IV
ACCOUNTS; EXPENDITURES
4.01 Accounts
All funds derived from operation of the Portfolio Properties shall be
deposited in one or more bank accounts designated by Marriott, which accounts
may be commingled accounts containing other funds owned by or managed by
Marriott. The Pooled Reserve shall be held in an interest bearing escrow reserve
account in a bank or similar institution designated by Manager and reasonably
acceptable to Tenant and Landlord, and the Pooled Reserve shall not be comingled
with any other funds. Withdrawals from said accounts shall be made solely by
representatives of Marriott whose signatures have been authorized. Reasonable
xxxxx cash funds shall be maintained at the Portfolio Properties.
4.02 Expenditures and Payments
A. Marriott, on behalf of and in coordination with the Managers
pursuant to their obligations under the Management Agreements, and in each
instance subject to the provisions of this Agreement, shall make expenditures,
to the extent of the sufficiency of funds available therefor pursuant to this
Agreement, for all Aggregate Deductions, and then, to reimburse Marriott or any
Affiliate for expenditures to the extent such expenditures have constituted a
Manager Reserve Advance pursuant to any of the Management Agreements. Payments
made to reimburse Marriott or any Affiliate for expenditures to the extent that
such expenditures have constituted a Manager Reserve Advance shall be deducted
from Aggregate Operating Profit prior to any other deduction or distribution
therefrom except for distributions of Aggregate Tenant's First Priority.
-14-
B. Tenant irrevocably directs Marriott to pay and Marriott agrees to
pay (or repay, as applicable), from Aggregate Operating Profit, without notice,
demand or request therefor, but in each instance subject to the provisions of
this Agreement: (i) Aggregate Tenant's First Priority, Aggregate Tenant's Second
Priority and Aggregate Tenant's Third Priority, to Tenant when due and payable
hereunder, (ii) replenishment of any Holdback Agreement Advances to Tenant,
(iii) distributions to Tenant and Marriott with respect to Tenant Advances,
Additional Marriott Advances and Additional Manager Advances, (iv) distributions
to the Managers with respect to the Aggregate Priority Management Fee, (v)
distributions to the Managers with respect to the Aggregate Base Management Fee,
and (vi) any other distributions provided for in Section 2.02.A, in each of the
foregoing instances set forth in this Section 4.02.B(i) through (vi), at the
time interim distributions are made pursuant to Section 3.01, and to the extent
of the sufficiency of and in the order of distribution of Aggregate Operating
Profit pursuant to Section 2.02.A.
4.03 Classification of Advances Made by Marriott to Cover Payments of
Aggregate Tenant's First Priority
A. The parties acknowledge that Tenant, to ensure that Tenant has
sufficient funds to timely pay Minimum Rent due pursuant to the Leases, must
receive, and Marriott agrees to pay to Tenant subject to the sufficiency of
funds available therefor pursuant to this Agreement and the Guaranty Agreement,
Aggregate Tenant's First Priority on or before the first day of each Portfolio
Accounting Period. As a result, it is possible that Marriott will pay Aggregate
Tenant's First Priority prior to determining whether Aggregate Operating Profit
for such Portfolio Accounting Period was adequate to cover such Aggregate
Tenant's First Priority. If for any given Portfolio Accounting Period it is
determined that Aggregate Operating Profit was inadequate to cover any such
payments of Aggregate Tenant's First Priority that were made by Marriott with
respect to such Portfolio Accounting Period, then one of the following shall be
applicable:
1. if the Guaranty Term had not expired before the first day of
such Portfolio Accounting Period and Marriott's obligation to
advance funds had not terminated for any other reason pursuant
to the terms of the Guaranty Agreement (an expiration or
termination as aforesaid, hereinafter, a "Guaranty Termination
Event"), then that portion of Aggregate Tenant's First
Priority paid with respect to such Portfolio Accounting Period
in excess of the sum of Aggregate Operating Profit for such
Portfolio Accounting Period shall be deemed to be a "Guaranty
Advance" made pursuant to the Guaranty Agreement; or
2. if a Guaranty Termination Event had occurred prior to the
first day of such Portfolio Accounting Period, then that
portion of Aggregate Tenant's First Priority paid with respect
to such Portfolio Accounting Period in excess of the sum of
Aggregate Operating Profit for such Portfolio Accounting
Period shall be deemed to have been funded by Marriott as an
Additional Marriott Advance.
-15-
No provision of this Section 4.03.A shall be construed to require
Marriott to make payments of Aggregate Tenant's First Priority except from
Aggregate Operating Profit and Marriott Guaranty Advances available therefor.
B. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, within twenty (20)
days after the end of each Portfolio Accounting Period, Marriott shall determine
whether it is deemed to have made a Marriott Guaranty Advance pursuant to
Section 4.03.A with respect to such Portfolio Accounting Period, and if Marriott
has made such an advance with respect to such Portfolio Accounting Period,
Marriott shall advise Tenant in writing of the type and amount of such advance
(each such notice, an "Advance Notice"). This paragraph shall only be applicable
with respect to advances made or deemed made pursuant to this Section 4.03.
4.04 Financial Statements. Marriott shall furnish the following
statements to Tenant:
A. As soon as publicly available or, in the event the same shall no
longer be required to be made public, within forty-five (45) days after each of
the first three fiscal quarters of any Portfolio Fiscal Year, the most recent
Consolidated Financials.
B. As soon as publicly available or, in the event the same shall no
longer be required to be made public, within ninety (90) days after the end of
each Portfolio Fiscal Year, the most recent Consolidated Financials for such
year, certified by an independent certified public accountant.
C. Promptly after the sending or filing thereof, copies of all reports
which Marriott sends to its security holders generally, and copies of all
periodic reports which Marriott files with the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission or any stock exchange on which its shares are listed or
traded.
ARTICLE V
POOLING OF WORKING CAPITAL AND RESERVES
5.01 Pooling of Working Capital
A. The Working Capital applicable to all Portfolio Properties pursuant
to the Management Agreements shall be pooled and used by Marriott for the
purposes set forth in Section 4.02.A hereof pursuant to the Managers'
cash-management policies (the "Pooled Working Capital"). Upon any
Deconsolidation Event as to one or more but less than all of the Portfolio
Properties, Pooled Working Capital shall be allocated as described in Section
6.02.B. Upon the expiration or termination of all Management Agreements for all
Portfolio Properties, Tenant shall, except as otherwise provided in the
Management Agreements or this Agreement, receive any unused Pooled Working
Capital.
-16-
B. Subject to Section 5.01.C, Tenant shall have the right, without any
obligation and in its sole and absolute discretion, within ten (10) days after
written request therefor, to advance any additional funds, over and above the
initial Working Capital for such Portfolio Properties, necessary to maintain
Pooled Working Capital at a level determined by Marriott to be reasonably
necessary to satisfy the needs of the Portfolio Properties as their operation
may from time to time require. Any such request by Marriott shall be accompanied
by a reasonably detailed explanation of the reasons for this request. All funds
so advanced shall be added to Pooled Working Capital. All advances made by
Tenant pursuant to this Section 5.01.B shall constitute "Tenant Working Capital
Advances." Tenant Working Capital Advances shall be repaid in accordance with
Section 2.02.A(5). Additionally, if Tenant does not elect to provide such
additional funds, Marriott shall also have the right, without any obligation and
in its sole and absolute discretion, within ten (10) days after such initial ten
(10) day period, to advance such additional funds as Tenant elected not to
advance, and any such advance shall constitute an Additional Marriott Advance.
Additional Marriott Advances shall be repaid in accordance with Section
2.02.A(5). If neither party elects to advance funds as contemplated in this
Section 5.01.B, the parties will have the rights set forth in Section 4.05.A of
each Management Agreement for such Portfolio Properties (which right may be
exercised as to all, but not less than all, of such Portfolio Properties).
C. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.01.B, Marriott shall not
request a Tenant Working Capital Advance, and will make any such required
advance from its own funds (which will not constitute an Additional Marriott
Advance), until the expiration of at least twelve (12) months from the date that
the last Additional Property and Initial Property has become a Portfolio
Property (excluding any Additional Property or Initial Property with respect to
which the Agreement to Lease has been terminated).
5.02 Pooling of Reserves
All deposits required to be made to the Reserves pursuant to the
Management Agreements with respect to the Portfolio Properties shall instead be
pooled into one account to be used for the purposes set forth in the Management
Agreements for the Portfolio Properties on a pooled basis (the "Pooled
Reserve"). The funds in the Pooled Reserve shall be available for all Portfolio
Properties regardless of the amount of funds that would otherwise be held in a
Reserve for a particular Portfolio Property if the Reserves were separately
maintained. Upon any Deconsolidation Event as to one or more but less than all
of the Portfolio Properties, the Pooled Reserve shall be allocated as described
in Section 6.02.B. Upon the expiration or termination of all Management
Agreements for all Portfolio Properties, Marriott shall, except as otherwise
provided in the Management Agreements or this Agreement, release and transfer to
Landlord or (if directed by Landlord) to Tenant the remaining Pooled Reserve
funds after payment of all expenses that are to be paid out of the Reserves
pursuant to the Management Agreements relating to periods prior to such
expiration or termination.
-17-
ARTICLE VI
ADDITION AND REMOVAL OF PROPERTIES AS PORTFOLIO PROPERTIES
6.01 Addition of Properties as Portfolio Properties
Immediately upon Closing pursuant to a Purchase Contract with respect
to an Additional Property or leasing of an Initial Property pursuant to the
Agreement to Lease and execution of a Lease with respect to such Property,
execution of a Management Agreement by the applicable Manager to manage the
Property (or confirmation of the applicability of a Management Agreement to such
Property, as applicable), and execution of the related agreements required
pursuant to the terms of the Agreement to Lease or the Purchase Contracts (as
applicable), such Property shall be deemed to be a Portfolio Property subject to
the provisions of this Agreement. Simultaneously with the execution of such
agreements, Marriott, the applicable Manager, and Tenant shall sign an agreement
confirming the applicability of this Agreement to such Property, which shall be
binding on all parties to this Agreement and the signature of all other Managers
other than the applicable Manager on any such confirmatory agreement shall not
be necessary to bind them in confirming that such Property has become a
Portfolio Property. If a Property becomes a Portfolio Property on a day other
than the first day of a Portfolio Accounting Period, prorated amounts of the
Gross Revenues and Deductions (and other amounts as may be necessary) applicable
to such Property for the period from and after the date on which such Property
became a Portfolio Property as are appropriate, in the parties' reasonable
judgment, shall be included in the calculation of Aggregate Gross Revenues and
Aggregate Deductions (and other amounts as may be necessary) for the Portfolio
Accounting Period in which such Property became a Portfolio Property, and
otherwise consistent with the provisions of Section 17 of the Agreement to Lease
with respect to Apportionments.
6.02 Removal of Properties as Portfolio Properties
A. Each of the following shall be, with respect to any Portfolio
Property, a "Deconsolidation Event": (i) if any Portfolio Property ceases to be
owned by (1) the owner of such Portfolio Property as of the date hereof, (2) any
Affiliate of the owner of such Portfolio Property as of the date hereof or HPT,
or (3) any other permitted successor to the interest of the owner of such
Portfolio Property as of the date hereof and/or such Affiliate of the owner of
such Portfolio Property as of the date hereof and HPT with respect to all (but
not less than all) of the then-remaining Portfolio Properties (a "Landlord
Deconsolidation Event"), or (ii) if any Portfolio Property ceases to be leased
by (1) Tenant, (2) any Affiliate of Tenant or Landlord, or (3) any other
permitted successor to the interest of Tenant, Landlord and/or such Affiliate of
either of them with respect to all (but not less than all) of the then-remaining
Portfolio Properties (a "Tenant Deconsolidation Event"), or (iii) if the
applicable Management Agreement is terminated with respect to such Portfolio
Property (a "Manager Deconsolidation Event"). No provision of this Agreement
shall be construed as modifying the terms of any Lease or
-18-
any Management Agreement, Franchise Agreement or Owner Agreement with respect to
transfers of any interest of any part therein.
B. From and after the date of a Tenant Deconsolidation Event or Manager
Deconsolidation Event with respect to any particular Portfolio Property, such
Property shall no longer be treated as a Portfolio Property pursuant to this
Agreement. If the Deconsolidation Event occurs on a day other than the last day
of a Portfolio Accounting Period, the parties shall exclude such prorated
amounts of the Gross Revenues and Deductions (and other amounts as may be
necessary) applicable to such Property for the period following the
Deconsolidation Event, as are appropriate in their reasonable judgment, in the
calculation of Aggregate Gross Revenues and Aggregate Deductions (and other
amounts as may be necessary) for the Portfolio Accounting Period in which the
Deconsolidation Event occurred. Additionally, the parties shall make such
prorations, adjustments, allocations, and changes pursuant to the Allocation
Formula set forth in Section 6.02.C hereof to reflect the removal of such
Property from being subject to this Agreement, including, without limitation, to
allocate to such Property its continuing liability with respect to any
outstanding Aggregate Priority Management Fee, any outstanding Additional
Marriott Advances, any outstanding Additional Manager Advances, any outstanding
Holdback Agreement Advances remaining to be replenished, and any outstanding
Tenant Advances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the applicable Manager will
not continue to manage the Property being removed pursuant to the Management
Agreement applicable to such Property, then (a) Tenant shall require that any
successor manager enter into a cash management agreement to which the applicable
Manager and Marriott are each a party which provides for assurances that the
Operating Profit for such Hotel is applied to repay amounts due to the
applicable Manager and Marriott in accordance with Section 3.02.B of the
Management Agreement with respect to the Hotel, as the applicable Manager and
Marriott may reasonably require, or (b) HPT shall provide (and Tenant shall
cause HPT to so provide) a written guaranty that the Operating Profit for such
Hotel shall be applied to repay amounts due to the applicable Manager and
Marriott in accordance with Section 3.02B of the Management Agreement with
respect to each such Hotel which Manager will no longer continue to manage.
Further notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant will not continue to lease the
Property being removed pursuant to the Lease, then there shall be no reduction
of the outstanding amount of any Tenant Working Capital Advances and Tenant
Aggregate Operating Loss Advances. Additionally, in the case of a Manager
Deconsolidation Event, Tenant and the applicable Manager, both acting
reasonably, shall determine the portion of (1) the Pooled Working Capital
allocable to the Property being removed from this Agreement and the amount of
the Pooled Working Capital so allocated shall be remitted to the parties
entitled to the same pursuant to the applicable Management Agreement, the Owner
Agreements and this Agreement, and (2) the Pooled Reserve allocable to the
Property being removed from this Agreement and the amount of the Pooled Reserve
so allocated shall, after payment of all amounts properly payable therefrom
pursuant to the Management Agreement and this Agreement: (i) if the Property
which is the subject of such Manager Deconsolidation Event shall remain subject
to the Lease, be made available to Tenant to allow Tenant to fulfill its
obligations under the Lease, and (ii) otherwise, be delivered to Landlord. In
determining the portion of the Pooled Reserve
-19-
allocable to such Property, the parties shall take into account whether and when
such Property and the Portfolio Properties have each undergone a substantial
soft-goods or case-goods replacement.
C. The "Allocation Formula" shall be to multiply the amount in question
by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Operating Profit for the Property
with respect to which a Tenant Deconsolidation Event has occurred for the
preceding thirteen (13) full Portfolio Accounting Periods, and the denominator
of which is the Aggregate Operating Profit for all Portfolio Properties for the
same period. From and after a Tenant Deconsolidation Event with respect to a
Property, such Property shall continue to be liable for any items relating to
the period before such Tenant Deconsolidation Event as allocated to such
Property pursuant to this Section 6.02.C, and, except as otherwise provided for
herein, the balance of the Portfolio Properties shall have no further liability
with to such allocated amount.
D. From and after the date of a Landlord Deconsolidation Event (that is
not also a Tenant Deconsolidation Event or a Manager Deconsolidation Event) with
respect to any particular Portfolio Property, such Property shall no longer be
treated as a Portfolio Property for purposes of Section 5.02 of this Agreement,
but shall continue to be treated as a Portfolio Property for all other purposes.
6.03 Removal of the Kauai Hotel as a Portfolio Property. At any time
while this Agreement is in effect and applicable to the Kauai Hotel, Tenant may
elect, upon not less than sixty (60) days written notice to Marriott, to cause
the Kauai Hotel to cease to be a Portfolio Property subject to the pooling
aspects of this Agreement, and thereafter the Kauai Hotel, notwithstanding that
no change has occurred with respect to ownership of Tenant's leasehold interest
therein, and notwithstanding that no change has occurred with respect to Kauai
Owner's fee interest therein, shall be treated for all purposes as if a Tenant
Deconsolidation Event and a Landlord Deconsolidation Event had occurred with
respect thereto (a "Kauai Deconsolidation Event").
ARTICLE VII
TRANSITION PROVISIONS
7.01 Transition Of Initial Properties.
The parties acknowledge that, subject to the terms and conditions
herein set forth, it is their mutual intent to make financial adjustments to
place Tenant in the economic position in which it would have been had each of
the Initial Properties been made subject to the Lease and the pooling aspects of
this Agreement on the date hereof, notwithstanding the fact that some of the
Initial Properties will be made subject to the Lease, the Management Agreement
applicable thereto, the pooling aspects of this Agreement and all other
documents contemplated by the Agreement to Lease with respect to each such
Initial Property (collectively, the "Transaction Documents") after the date
hereof. To give effect to such intent, the parties hereby agree as follows,
which
-20-
agreement is a material part of the consideration for the covenants and
agreements set forth in this Agreement:
A. Together with each interim accounting provided to Tenant after
the close of each Portfolio Accounting Period as provided for in Section 3.01,
Marriott shall also deliver to Tenant a hypothetical interim accounting for such
Portfolio Accounting Period (the "Hypothetical Report") calculated in all
respects as the actual interim accounting except that the Hypothetical Report
shall be prepared on the assumption that each Initial Property was made subject
to the Transaction Documents on the date of this Agreement, notwithstanding the
actual date on which any of such Initial Properties were or will be made subject
to the Transaction Documents. The Hypothetical Report shall also take into
account sums paid with respect to such Portfolio Accounting Period to Affiliates
of HPT pursuant to existing lease arrangements between such Affiliates of HPT
and Affiliates of Marriott ("Existing Lease Payments"), which lease arrangements
would otherwise have been terminated had the Properties which are the subjects
thereof been made subject to the Lease and the pooling aspects of this Agreement
on the date hereof.
B. The Hypothetical Report shall also indicate any sums Tenant
would have been entitled to receive as distributions of Aggregate Operating
Profit under Sections 2.02 of this Agreement over and above Existing Lease
Payments actually made with respect to such period, using the assumptions set
forth for such Hypothetical Report in the foregoing Section 7.01.A (the
"Hypothetical Tenant Distribution").
C. If the Hypothetical Tenant Distribution is larger than the
actual distributions due to Tenant (the "Actual Tenant Distribution"), the
difference between such Hypothetical Tenant Distribution and the Actual Tenant
Distribution shall constitute the "Deficiency Owed Tenant." If the Actual Tenant
Distribution is larger that the Hypothetical Tenant Distribution, the difference
between such Actual Tenant Distribution and the Hypothetical Tenant Distribution
shall constitute the "Surplus."
D. If the foregoing interim accounting and Hypothetical Report for
any Portfolio Accounting Period indicate a Deficiency Owed Tenant, Marriott
shall pay such Deficiency Owed Tenant to Tenant at the time it provides Tenant
with such interim accounting and Hypothetical Report. If the foregoing interim
accounting and Hypothetical Report for any Portfolio Accounting Period indicate
a Surplus, there shall be no adjustment to the distributions provided for in
this Agreement.
E. The provisions of this Section 7.01 shall terminate on such
date as all Initial Properties shall have either (i) become a Portfolio
Property, or (ii) been eliminated from the Agreement to Lease pursuant to the
terms thereof. If a termination pursuant to the foregoing clause (ii) occurs on
a day other than the last day of a Portfolio Accounting Period, Marriott shall
make such adjustments as are appropriate in its reasonable judgment, to reflect
the elimination of any such Initial Property for the balance of the Portfolio
Accounting Period in which such termination occurred. Furthermore, if the
Agreement to Lease is terminated with respect to any Initial Property
-21-
prior to the date such Initial Property becomes a Portfolio Property, the
Hypothetical Report shall be prepared without consideration of such Initial
Property from and after the date of such termination with respect to such
Initial Property. If such termination occurs on a day other than the first day
of a Portfolio Accounting Period, Marriott shall, in its reasonable judgment,
make such prorations and adjustments as it deems appropriate in preparing the
Hypothetical Report for such Portfolio Accounting Period.
7.02 Annual Accounting Statements and Cash Adjustments
Calculations and payments of Deficiencies Owed Tenant and Surpluses
made with respect to each Portfolio Accounting Period within a Portfolio Fiscal
Year shall be accounted for cumulatively. Within sixty (60) days after the end
of each Portfolio Fiscal Year, Marriott shall deliver to Tenant a statement in
reasonable detail of such calculations for the immediately preceding Portfolio
Fiscal Year and a certificate of Marriott's chief accounting officer certifying
that such year-end statement is true and correct. The parties shall, within ten
(10) Business Days after Tenant's receipt of such statement, make any
adjustments, by cash payment if required as set forth above, in the amounts paid
or retained for such Portfolio Fiscal Year as are needed because of the final
figures set forth in such statement. Such final accounting shall be controlling
over the interim accountings.
ARTICLE VIII

-26-
8.17 Single Agreement; Integration.
(A) It is expressly acknowledged and agreed by each of Marriott,
the Managers, Landlord and Tenant that the underlying terms and conditions of
this Agreement, the Guaranty, the Management Agreements, the Franchise
Agreements and each and every other document and agreement entered into in
connection herewith or therewith and/or contemplated hereby or thereby
(collectively, the "Deal Terms") have been negotiated by the parties as a single
integrated transaction. The fact that there exists separate Management
Agreements for the different hotel brands is merely a matter of convenience to
Marriott and the Managers to reflect their existing internal corporate
organization. The purpose of this Agreement and the intent of the parties hereto
is that the Portfolio Properties at all times constitute a single pool and a
portfolio and the Deal Terms have been established with this understanding (e.g.
The purchase price and rent for certain properties has been set at a higher
amount than would be the case if such properties were the subject of a stand
alone transaction or smaller group transaction and not aggregated with the
Portfolio Properties. Landlord and Tenant have agreed to include certain
properties in this transaction in locations in which neither would otherwise
make an investment but for the existence of a portfolio.) The purpose of this
Agreement is that the Properties constitute a single pool and the Deal Terms
have been established with purpose). The aggregation and integration of the
properties into a single pool and portfolio is a material inducement to Landlord
and Tenant to agree to the Deal Terms and an underiding principle of the Deal
Terms.
(B) The Managers acknowledge and agree that a fundamental and
material purpose of this Agreement is to integrate the Portfolio Properties and
Deal Terms as one and to invalidate the right of any Manager to reject any
Management Agreement or this Agreement as to a particular Portfolio Property
(and not to all Portfolio Properties) in the event of a bankruptcy of such
manager. Accordingly, Manager hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by
law, any right to terminate this Agreement or reject any of the Deal Terms,
whether pursuant to the Title 11 of the U.S. Code or any other similar
insolvency or state bankruptcy laws.
8.18 Special Termination Right.
The parties acknowledge and agree that if, notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 9.10 any Manager terminates any Management Agreement or
this Owner Agreement in connection with such Manager's reorganization,
recapitalization or bankruptcy, Tenant shall have the right to terminate each
remaining Management Agreement and Franchise Agreement (without any termination
fee or penalty) by giving written notice thereof to Marriott and the Managers,
in which event, all Managing Agreements and franchise Agreements shall terminate
on the later to occur of the date set forth in such notice and 30 days after the
giving thereof.
