Operating Budgets Not later than the commencement of each Lease Year, Lessee shall have prepared and submitted to Lessor an operating budget in form reasonably acceptable to Lessor (the "OPERATING BUDGET") for that Lease Year prepared in accordance with the Uniform System to the extent applicable and that includes, without limitation, an amount equal to not less than four and one-half percent (4.5%) of estimated Gross Revenues allocated for estimated cost ("M&R EXPENSE") of maintenance and repairs (other than Capital Improvements) to the Hotel during such Lease Year. Unless required by the terms of any Franchise Agreement, Lessee shall not make any changes to the current methods or categories by which Gross Revenues are budgeted or accounted for by Lessee or its Manager in its Revenue Budget for calendar year 1998 without the prior written consent of Lessor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event that the amount actually incurred by Lessee for M&R Expense for the Hotel for any Lease Year (the "M&R SHORTFALL YEAR") is less than four and one-half percent (4.5%) of Gross Revenues for such Lease Year ("MINIMUM M&R"), notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.2, Lessee shall be obligated (i) to prepare and submit to Lessor for its approval the Operating Budget for the Lease Year following the Shortfall Year (the "M&R CURE YEAR"), at the same time as, and according to the procedure herein provided for, review and approval of the Annual Budget for such subsequent Lease Year, and (ii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to include in such Operating Budget Lessee's good faith reasonable estimate of Gross Operating Expenses for the Hotel for such M&R Cure Year, itemized on schedules on a monthly and quarterly basis, in accordance with the Uniform System and as approved by Lessor and Lessee, including without limitation an amount, allocated for M&R Expense equal to not less than the sum of (A) four and one-half percent (4.5%) of estimated Gross Revenues, plus (B) the amount by which Lessee failed to incur Hotel M&R Expense at least equal to the Minimum M&R for the M&R Shortfall Year, together with the assumptions, in narrative form, forming the basis of such schedules (unless Lessor agrees to a lesser amount in the exercise of its reasonable discretion).
Operating Budget (a) No less than forty-five (45) days prior to the Substantial Completion of each train of the Project, and no less than forty-five (45) days prior to the beginning of each calendar year thereafter, the Borrower shall prepare a proposed operating plan and a budget setting forth in reasonable detail the projected requirements for Operation and Maintenance Expenses for the Borrower and the Project for the ensuing calendar year (or, in the case of the initial Operating Budget, the remaining portion thereof) and provide the Independent Engineer, the Common Security Trustee, and each Secured Debt Holder Group Representative with a copy of such operating plan and budget (the "Operating Budget"). Each Operating Budget shall be prepared in accordance with a form approved by the Independent Engineer, shall set forth all material assumptions used in the preparation of such Operating Budget, and shall become effective upon approval of the Common Security Trustee, acting reasonably and in consultation with the Independent Engineer; provided, that if the Common Security Trustee shall not have approved or disapproved the Operating Budget within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof, such Operating Budget shall be deemed to have been approved; and provided further that the Common Security Trustee shall have neither the right nor the obligation to approve costs for Gas purchase contracts for the Project contained in the Operating Budget. If the Borrower does not have an effective annual Operating Budget before the beginning of any calendar year, until such proposed Operating Budget is approved, the Operating Budget most recently in effect shall continue to apply; provided, that (A) any items of the proposed Operating Budget that have been approved shall be given effect in substitution of the corresponding items in the Operating Budget most recently in effect, (B) costs for Gas purchase contracts for the Project shall be as provided by the Borrower and (C) all other items shall be increased by the lesser of (x) two and one-half percent (2.5%) and (y) the increase proposed by the Borrower for such item in such proposed Operating Budget. (b) Each Operating Budget delivered pursuant to this Section 6.12 shall contain Operating Budget Categories, and shall specify for each Fiscal Quarter and for each such Operating Budget Category the amount budgeted for such category for such Fiscal Quarter. (c) Each Operating Budget may only be amended with the prior written consent of the Common Security Trustee (in consultation with the Independent Engineer), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.
