3.5 Intentionally Omitted.
3.6 Personal Property Limitation.
(a) Anything contained in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, the amount of Hotel Personalty subject to this Lease shall be limited so that the rents attributed to Hotel Personalty shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the total rents from all property demised under this Lease determined at the time that the Hotel Personalty is placed in service (the “Personal Property Limitation”). “Hotel Personalty” is defined to include, without limitation, all property related to the Hotel that is not “real property” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.856-10. Landlord and Tenant shall at all times cooperate in good faith and use their best efforts to permit Landlord to comply with the Personal Property Limitation, which compliance may include, without limitation, the purchase by Tenant at fair market value of personal property used in the operation of the Hotel sufficient to permit compliance with the Personal Property Limitation set forth in this Section 3.6. All such compliance shall be effected in a manner that has no material net economic detriment to Tenant. This Section 3.6 is intended to ensure that the rents from personal property fall below the fifteen percent (15%) limitation of Section 856(d)(1) of the Code and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with such intent.
(b) If and to the extent the ownership of any portion of the Hotel Personalty would cause the Base Rent not to qualify as “rents from real property” for purposes of Section 856(d)(1) of the Code, or if deemed appropriate or desirable by Landlord, Tenant agrees that, upon request of Landlord, Tenant will acquire such of the Hotel Personalty at its fair market value as Landlord shall reasonably specify, and Landlord and Tenant agree to adjust the Base Rent (including any revenue breakpoints set forth in the Percentage Rent) to appropriately reflect such acquisition, and Landlord and Tenant agree to amend this Lease accordingly.
3.7 Sublease Rent Limitation. Anything contained in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant shall not sublet the Hotel or enter into any similar arrangement on any basis such that the rental or other amounts to be paid by the sublessee thereunder would be based, in whole or in part, on either (a) the net income or profits derived by the business activities of the sublessee, or (b) any other formula such that any portion of the Rent would fail to qualify as “rents from real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d)(1) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto.
3.8 No Commingling of Funds. Tenant shall not commingle monies received and held by Tenant from the possession and operation of the Leased Property with any other funds of Tenant or of any other Person.
3.9 Manager; Management.
(a) Pursuant to the Management Agreement, Manager has agreed to manage the Leased Property on the terms and conditions contained therein. Tenant shall (i) at all
8
times comply with the terms and conditions contained in the Management Agreement, (ii) do all things necessary to preserve and keep unimpaired its material rights under the Management Agreement and (iii) notify Landlord in writing of any default, alleged default, or event which with notice or the passage of time would constitute a default under the Management Agreement, which default or event shall be and constitute a default hereunder.
(b) Tenant hereby covenants and agrees to promptly enforce the performance and observance of all of the material covenants and agreements required to be performed and/or observed by Manager under the Management Agreement and all of its rights and remedies under the Management Agreement against Manager.
(c) Tenant hereby covenants and agrees not to do any of the following without the prior written consent of Landlord: (i) surrender, terminate or cancel the Management Agreement, (ii) reduce or consent to the reduction of the term of the Management Agreement, (iii) increase or consent to the increase of the amount of any charges under the Management Agreement, or (iv) otherwise modify, change, supplement, alter or amend in any material adverse respect any of the provisions of the Management Agreement or any of Tenant’s rights and remedies under the Management Agreement.
(d) If Tenant receives any notice of or becomes aware of a violation or circumstances likely to result in a violation of the Management Agreement, Tenant shall promptly deliver to Landlord written notice of such violation or circumstances and, to the extent the same is the responsibility of Tenant under this Lease, take all remedial action necessary for compliance with the Management Agreement; provided that Tenant may contest any such violation if Landlord consents to such contest by Tenant, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If Tenant contests such violation, Tenant shall hold Landlord harmless from any loss, cost, damage or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, resulting from such contest, unless the contested violation resulted from an intentional act or omission in contravention of this Lease by Landlord, its agents or employees.
(e) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, within three (3) days after receipt of same by Tenant, copies of all written notices sent to Tenant by Manager relating to the Management Agreement.
(f) Landlord and Tenant agree to cooperate fully with each other in the event it becomes necessary to obtain an extension or modification of the Management Agreement or a new management agreement for the Leased Property.
(g) Tenant shall ensure that the Management Agreement (or any successor management agreement) obligates the Manager to provide information Landlord deems reasonably necessary to ensure that the Manager is an “eligible independent contractor” as such term is defined in Section 856(d)(9)(A) of the Code.
3.10 Books and Records. In addition to any other requirements set forth herein (including, without limitation, Sections 4.3(a) and 5.1), Tenant covenants that, for the purposes of ascertaining the amount payable to Landlord as Percentage Rent, Tenant shall keep books of account and other records in which full, true and correct entries will be made of all financial
9
dealings and actions in relation to the business and affairs of the Hotel in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, and will preserve such records and books of account throughout the Term. All such books and records shall be maintained at the Leased Property or the principal business office of Tenant or Manager during the Term and, upon the Expiration Date, shall be delivered to Landlord, subject to Tenant’s continuing right to review such books and records and to make copies or extracts of the same. Landlord shall keep such books and records for five (5) years after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

participating in such program. Coverage extended to any additional insured or additional named insured under these policies will expire on the Expiration Date.
7.7 Single Policy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 7, any insurance coverage required to be provided by Landlord under this Article 7 may be provided by Tenant on behalf of Landlord under a single policy, and any insurance required to be provided by Tenant under this Article 7 may be provided by Landlord on behalf of Tenant under a single policy, provided that (i) any such coverage shall otherwise comply with the foregoing provisions of this Article 7, including with respect to the naming of loss payees, named insureds and additional insureds, (ii) in the result of an insured claim, any such coverage shall result in the same allocation of proceeds as would have been made had the policies been maintained separately, and (iii) notwithstanding the fact that one party may maintain insurance coverage for the benefit of the other party, the cost of insurance under this Article 7 shall be allocated such that each party shall pay for its respective share of such insurance.

DEFAULT AND TERMINATION
8.1 Tenant Default. The following events shall constitute a default by Tenant (subsequent to the associated notice and cure periods set forth in this Section 8.1, each an “Event of Default”) under this Lease:
(a) Tenant shall fail to pay when due and payable any of the Rent herein provided for or any other sum agreed or required by this Lease to be paid by Tenant upon the respective dates that the same becomes due and payable and such failure shall continue for a period of five (5) business days after written notice of non-payment from Landlord; or
(b) Tenant shall fail to perform any other covenant of this Lease to be kept and performed by Tenant, and such failure shall thereafter continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant specifying the nature of said failure; provided that, if the default is one that cannot, by its nature, reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, no Event of Default will have occurred hereunder if Tenant commences reasonable and diligent efforts to cure such default within such 30-day period after receipt of Landlord’s notice and thereafter diligently prosecutes such efforts to completion; or
(c) Tenant shall file an application for, or consent to, the appointment of a receiver, trustee or liquidator of itself or of all of its assets, or file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or for reorganization, or have filed against it an involuntary petition in bankruptcy which is not dismissed within sixty (60) days, or file a pleading in any court of record admitting in writing its inability to pay its debts as they come due, or make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or file an answer admitting the material allegations of, or its consenting to, or defaulting in answering, a petition filed against it in any bankruptcy or reorganization proceeding; or
(d) any order, judgment or decree by any court of competent jurisdiction, is entered adjudicating Tenant as bankrupt, or appointing a receiver, trustee or
22
liquidator of it or of all of its assets, and such order, judgment or decree continues unstayed and in effect for any period of ninety (90) consecutive days; or
(e) the Management Agreement is terminated for any reason during the Term, unless terminated by Tenant on account of the default or failure to perform by Manager; or
(f) Tenant is in default (after notice and the expiration of applicable cure periods) under the Franchise Agreement, unless such default is solely as a result of Landlord’s failure to comply with its obligations set forth in Section 4.13(b) hereof; or
(g) an act or omission of Tenant causes a default under the Mortgage; or
(h) Tenant violates Section 12.20.
8.2 Collateral Assignment. To secure payment and performance of Tenant’s obligations to Landlord under this Lease, Tenant hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally assigns, transfers and conveys to Landlord, its successors and assigns, all of Tenant’s right, title and interest, if any, and grants to Landlord a security interest, in and to all of Tenant’s right, title and interest in and to the property and items set forth on Exhibit B hereto. The foregoing is intended to grant in favor of Landlord a first priority continuing lien and security interest in all of Tenant’s personal property. Tenant authorizes Landlord (or holder of a Mortgage, on Landlord’s behalf) and its counsel to file UCC statements in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord, describing the collateral as all assets and personal property of Tenant, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising and wheresoever located, including all accessions thereto and products and proceeds thereof, or using words with similar effect. Tenant acknowledges, agrees and consents to the pledge by Landlord to any holder of a Mortgage of Landlord’s rights, title, and interests herein as collateral security for the Landlord’s obligations to any holder of a Mortgage.
8.3 Landlord’s Remedies. Upon a continuing and uncured Event of Default, Landlord shall have, in addition to all rights and remedies provided by law, the right to terminate this Lease by delivery of written notice thereof to Tenant at any time prior to the cure of the Event of Default.
8.4 Surrender of the Leased Property. Tenant shall, on the Expiration Date, or on the earlier termination hereof, peaceably and quietly leave (subject to any continuing rights of Tenant to enter onto the Leased Property for the purposes specifically contemplated in this Lease), surrender and yield up unto Landlord the Leased Property in good order and repair, excepting reasonable wear and tear. Upon the termination of this Lease for any reason, (i) Landlord, or a purchaser of Landlord’s interest in the Leased Property, shall purchase all of the Hotel Personalty (including FF&E) owned by Tenant and all of the Operating Supplies owned by Tenant and used in connection with the Leased Property (if any) for an amount equal to the fair market value of such Hotel Personalty and Operating Supplies as of the date of termination, (ii) Tenant shall leave at the Hotel the Hotel Personalty and Operating Supplies not owned by Tenant (which shall be in a condition consistent with the Operational Standards), and (iii) Tenant shall assign the Assigned Items to Landlord. Tenant shall also reasonably cooperate for thirty (30) days with any successor
23
tenant or owner of the Hotel upon the expiration or termination of this Lease to effect a smooth and efficient transition in the operation of the Hotel. Upon termination of this Lease and surrender of the Hotel by Tenant, Landlord shall either assume or cause to be assumed all of the Assigned Items and perform or otherwise cause to be performed all of Tenant’s obligations thereunder relating to any period after the Expiration Date.
8.5 Landlord’s Right to Cure. Tenant agrees that, if an Event of Default occurs, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, after the occurrence of the Event of Default, until the same has been cured, and after notice or demand to Tenant, without waiving or releasing Tenant from any of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, make any payment or perform such other act in whole or in part to the extent Landlord may deem desirable and, in connection therewith, to pay expenses and employ legal counsel. All sums paid by Landlord pursuant to this Section 8.5 and all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, paid in connection therewith, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate calculated from the date of payment by Landlord, shall be deemed to be Rent hereunder and shall be payable upon demand by Landlord, and Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies for the nonpayment thereof as in the case of default in the payment of Rent.
8.6 Tenant’s Bankruptcy or Insolvency. If Tenant shall be subjected to the provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code or other law of the United States or any state thereof for the protection of debtors as in effect at such time (each a “Debtor’s Law”), the debtor-in-possession and any trustee or receiver of Tenant’s assets (each a “Tenant’s Representative”) shall have no greater right to assume or assign this Lease or any interest in this Lease, or to sublease any of the Leased Property then accorded to Tenant by the specific provisions of this Lease, except to the extent Landlord shall be required to permit such assumption, assignment or sublease by the provisions of such Debtor’s Law. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, any right of any Tenant’s Representative to assume or assign this Lease or to sublease any of the Leased Property shall be subject to the conditions that:
(a) Such Debtor’s Law shall provide to Tenant’s Representative a right of assumption of this Lease which Tenant’s Representative shall have timely exercised and Tenant’s Representative shall have fully cured any default of Tenant under this Lease.
(b) Tenant’s Representative or the proposed assignee, as the case shall be, shall have deposited with Landlord as security for the timely payment of rent an amount equal to three (3) months’ Rent and other monetary charges accruing under this Lease, and shall have provided Landlord with adequate other assurance of the future performance of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease. Without limitation, such assurances shall include, at least, in the case of assumption of this Lease, demonstration to the satisfaction of Landlord that Tenant’s Representative has and will continue to have sufficient unencumbered assets after the payment of all secured obligations and administrative expenses to assure Landlord that Tenant’s Representative will have sufficient funds to fulfill the obligations of Tenant under this Lease.
(c) In the case of assignment, submission of current financial statements of the proposed assignee, audited by an independent certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to Landlord and showing a net worth and working capital in amounts determined by
24
Landlord to be sufficient to assure the future performance by such assignee of all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.
(d) Any existing or proposed assumption or assignment of this Lease and any subleasing of any part or all of the Leased Property will not breach any provision of any other lease, mortgage, financing agreement or other agreement by which Landlord is bound.
8.7 Attorneys’ Fees. If at any time litigation is instituted between Landlord and Tenant with respect to this Lease, the prevailing party in such litigation may recover from the losing party all court costs, reasonable costs of litigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred or expended by the prevailing party in such action.
8.8 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 Lease 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.
8.9 Liability for Tenant’s Obligations. Landlord covenants and agrees to look solely to Tenant (and not its Affiliates) for all obligations of Tenant under this Lease.
8.10 Default by Landlord. Landlord shall not be in default of any obligation of Landlord hereunder unless and until Landlord has failed to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of such failure from Tenant; provided, however, that in the event the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for complete performance, Landlord shall not be in default pursuant to this Section 8.10 if Landlord commences performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such performance to completion.
8.11 Holding Over. Tenant acknowledges that (a) Tenant’s complete vacancy and surrender of the Leased Property in strict compliance with Section 8.4 (and all other provisions of this Lease) on or before the Expiration Date or earlier termination may be critical to the sale by Landlord of the Leased Property, and (b) if Tenant or any Person occupying the Leased Property (or any part thereof) by or through Tenant holds over past the Expiration Date for any period of time, however brief, such holding over will compromise and deleteriously affect Landlord’s ability to timely conclude any sale of the Leased Property. In light of the foregoing, (i) Tenant and any Person occupying the Leased Property (or any part thereof) by or through Tenant shall not be permitted to hold over for any period of time beyond the Expiration Date for any reason or length of time, (ii) if Tenant (or any Person holding through Tenant) shall hold over for any period whatsoever, Tenant shall be a tenant at sufferance, subject to eviction without notice, and (iii) Tenant shall indemnify, defend (with legal counsel reasonably approved by Landlord), and hold Landlord harmless from all causes of action, claims, debts, liabilities, controversies, damages, costs, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) suffered or incurred by Landlord, including lost profits, by reason of Tenant’s failure (or the failure of any Person occupying all or any portion of the Leased Property under or through Tenant) to completely vacate and surrender
25
the Leased Property on or before the Expiration Date in strict compliance with Section 8.4 and all other applicable provisions of this Lease.

9.1 Restoration. If, during the Term, the Hotel is damaged or destroyed by fire, casualty or other cause, Landlord shall, at its cost and expense and with all reasonable diligence, comply with the requirements of each Mortgage, as such document pertains to casualty and repair, and with Tenant’s directions so as to enable Tenant to comply with the requirements of the Franchise Agreement, as such document pertains to casualty and repair. If the Leased Property, or any material part thereof, shall be rendered untenantable by reason of such damage and such damage shall not be due to the fault of Tenant or of Persons Within Tenant’s Control, then the Base Rent hereunder, or an amount thereof apportioned according to the area of the Leased Property so rendered untenantable (if less than the entire Leased Property shall be so rendered untenantable), shall be abated for the period from the date of such damage to the date when the damage shall have been repaired as aforesaid.

If this Lease is terminated pursuant to this Section 9.1, all insurance proceeds shall be paid to Landlord free of any claim or interest therein whatsoever of Tenant. If this Lease is not terminated as the result of any fire or other casualty, then, subject to the rights of the holder of each Mortgage, the proceeds of any casualty insurance or the equivalent thereof shall be used by Landlord to pay for the cost of restoration.
9.2 Condemnation. If, during the Term, all or any part of or interest in the Hotel is taken by any public authority under the power of eminent domain or by purchase in lieu thereof, Landlord shall, at its cost and expense and with all reasonable diligence, comply with the requirements of each Mortgage, as such document pertains to condemnation and restoration, and with Tenant’s directions so as to enable Tenant to comply with the requirements of the Franchise Agreement, as such document pertains to condemnation and restoration. If only a part of the Leased Property shall be so condemned or taken, then effective as of the date of vesting of title, the Base Rent and shall be abated in an amount apportioned according to the area of the Leased Property so condemned or taken. If all or any part of or interest in the Hotel is taken by any public authority under the power of eminent domain or by purchase in lieu thereof, such that the Hotel is closed and Landlord determines in its reasonable judgment that the Hotel cannot be reopened within 365 days, then either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease by notice given to the other party within thirty (30) days after possession of the Leased Property has been taken. If this Lease is terminated pursuant to this Section 9.2, then, subject to the rights of the holder of any applicable Mortgage, all awards and proceeds of condemnation shall be paid to Landlord free and clear of any claim or interest therein whatsoever of Tenant.
