The cost of such maintenance, repairs and alterations shall be paid from Gross Revenues and shall be treated as a Deduction in determining Operating Profit. The cost of non-routine repairs and maintenance, either to the Hotel building or its fixtures, furniture, furnishings and equipment (“FF&E”), shall be paid for in the manner described in Sections 8.02 and 8.03.

8.02 FF&E Reserve

A. Management Company shall establish, in respect of each Fiscal Year from and after the Management Commencement Date, a reserve escrow account in the name of Master Tenant (the “Reserve FF&E”) in a bank approved by Master Tenant to cover the cost of replacements and renewals to the Hotel’s FF&E. All disbursements and withdrawals from the Reserve FF&E shall be made by representatives of Management Company whose signatures have been authorized. The Reserve FF&E shall be in an amount equal to the greater of the amount required under (i) the Franchise Agreement for the Hotel or (ii) by any Lender; provided that if such Franchise Agreement or Lender does not provide a required amount, then such amount shall be equal to 4% of Gross Revenues (to be deposited in the Reserve FF&E account at the end of each Accounting Period with the Management Company making any required adjustments at the close of the Fiscal Year). Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, to the extent that the Loan Documents or Franchise Agreement require that a reserve for any FF&E be established, Management Company agrees that the reserve established under such Loan Documents may be used as the Reserve FF&E for deposit of the amounts required herein.

B. All amounts from time to time in the Reserve FF&E, and all interest thereon, shall at all times be owned by, and be the exclusive property of, Master Tenant, and Management Company shall make no claim thereto. Proceeds from the sale of FF&E that is no longer necessary for the operation of the Hotel, as determined by Master Tenant, in its sole discretion, shall be deposited in the Reserve FF&E, as shall any interest which accrues on amounts placed in the Reserve FF&E. Neither (i) proceeds from the disposition of any FF&E, nor (ii) interest which accrues on amounts held in the Reserve FF&E, shall either (x) result in any reduction in the required contributions to the Reserve FF&E set forth in Section 8.02 A above, or (y) be included in Gross Revenues. Management Company shall provide to Master Tenant each month a copy of the bank statement relating to the Reserve FF&E and a reconciliation of such Reserve FF&E account.

-17-

C. Management Company shall prepare an estimate (the “FF&E Estimate”) of the expenditures necessary for replacement and renewal of the Hotel FF&E during the ensuing Fiscal Year, and shall submit such Estimate to Master Tenant for Master Tenant’s review and approval at the same time it submits the Annual Operating Projection described in Section 9.03, and the same approval process and standards shall apply to the FF&E Estimate as is set forth in Section 9.03.

D. Management Company shall from time to time make such substitutions and replacements of or renewals to FF&E as are provided for in the FF&E Estimate approved for such Fiscal Year by Master Tenant pursuant to Section 8.02 C; provided that Management Company shall not expend more than the balance in the Reserve FF&E without the prior approval of Master Tenant. Management Company will make FF&E expenditures in accordance with the applicable FF&E Estimate, but shall be entitled to depart therefrom (but not exceeding the Reserve FF&E balance), in its reasonable discretion; provided further, that (a) such departures from the FF&E Estimate result from circumstances which could not reasonably have been foreseen at the time of the submission of such FF&E Estimate; (b) such departures from the FF&E Estimate result from any of the following: emergency circumstances, applicable legal requirements, the terms of any Franchise Agreement, and/or any other requirements for the continued safe and orderly operation of the Hotel; (c) such departures, in the aggregate, do not cause FF&E expenditures to deviate from the FF&E Estimate by more than the lessor of (i) the amount permitted by any Loan Documents, and (ii) ten percent (10%); and (d) Management Company has submitted to Master Tenant a revised FF&E Estimate setting forth and explaining such departures. At the end of each Fiscal Year, any amounts then remaining in the Reserve FF&E shall be carried forward to the next Fiscal Year.

E. If any FF&E Estimate which is submitted to Master Tenant for approval for a given Fiscal Year would require funding in excess of the amount required to be in the Reserve FF&E under Section 8.02 A, Master Tenant may elect one of the following: (i) agree to increase the percentage of Gross Revenues up to the level set forth in such FF&E Estimate, in order to provide the additional funds required, such increases to be treated as Deductions; (ii) make a lump-sum contribution to the Reserve FF&E in the necessary amount and agree not to have such contribution reimbursed from Gross Revenues (in which case the amount of such contribution shall be added to Additional Invested Capital if the same falls within the definition of that term as set forth above); and (iii) make a lump-sum contribution to the Reserve FF&E in the necessary amount, in which case such contribution plus interest (at Prime Rate plus one percentage point per annum), shall be reimbursed to Master Tenant from Gross Revenues in equal installments over a period of time mutually agreed upon by Master Tenant and Management Company, and such installment repayments shall be Deductions. If Master Tenant elects not to agree to any of such options for excess funding of the Reserve FF&E, Management Company shall not be required to perform any of the duties, services or obligations imposed upon Management Company under this Agreement, or to spend funds on behalf of Master Tenant, unless adequate funds for the same have been provided or made available by Master Tenant. Management Company shall have no duty to fund any excess FF&E.

8.03 Building Alterations, Improvements, Renewals and Replacements

-18-

A. Management Company shall prepare an annual estimate (the “Building Estimate”) of the expenses necessary for repairs, alterations, improvements, renewals and replacements to the structural, mechanical, electrical, heating, ventilating, air conditioning, plumbing and vertical transportation elements of the Hotel building, including any such expenses required under any Loan Documents or the Franchise Agreement (the “Owner-Funded Capital Expenditures”) and shall submit such Building Estimate to Master Tenant for its approval at the same time the Annual Operating Projection described in Section 9.03 is submitted, and the same approval process and standards shall apply to the Building Estimate as is set forth in Section 9.03). Management Company shall not make any Owner-Funded Capital Expenditures without the prior written consent of Master Tenant except to the extent such expenditures are Necessary Expenditures.

B. The cost of all Owner-Funded Capital Expenditures shall be borne solely by Master Tenant and shall not be paid from Gross Revenues or from the Reserve FF&E. If Master Tenant fails to provide funding for any Owner-Funded Capital Expenditure for thirty (30) days following notice of such failure (or when otherwise required in order to comply with any Loan Documents or the Franchise Agreement), Management Company shall not be required to perform any of the duties, services or obligations imposed upon Management Company under this Agreement, or to spend funds on behalf of Master Tenant, unless and until adequate funds for the same have otherwise been provided or made available by Master Tenant. Management Company shall have no duty to fund any Owner-Funded Capital Expenditures.

8.04 Liens

Management Company and Master Tenant shall not place, permit or consent to, and shall use their best efforts to prevent, any liens, from being filed against the Hotel which arise from any maintenance, changes, repairs, alterations, improvements, renewals or replacements in or to the Hotel. They shall cooperate fully in obtaining the release of any such liens, and the cost thereof, if the lien was not occasioned by the fault of either party, shall be treated the same as the cost incurred pursuant to Section 8.03. If the lien arises as a result of the fault of either party, then the party at fault shall bear the cost of obtaining the lien release.

8.05 Ownership of Replacements

All changes, repairs, alterations, improvements, renewals, or replacements to the Hotel made pursuant to this Article VIII shall be the property of Master Tenant or Owner.

If Master Tenant raises no objections within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Annual Operating Statement, the Annual Operating Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by Master Tenant. If Master Tenant does raise any such objection, Master Tenant shall arrange for an independent audit to be commenced within sixty (60) days after the date of such objection, and shall diligently cause such audit to be completed within a reasonable period of time and the Management Company shall, at no expense to Management Company, cooperate with such audit. Master Tenant shall pay all costs of such audit at its sole expense (and not as a Deduction); however, if such audit establishes that Management Company has understated Operating Profit for that Fiscal Year by the lesser of (x) $50,000 or (y) five percent (5%) or more of the Operating Profit determined by Management Company, the reasonable costs and expenses of such audit shall be paid directly by Management Company from its own funds and shall not be treated as Deductions.

If Master Tenant does not approve the preliminary Annual Operating Projection in full, within thirty (30) days of its receipt, Master Tenant shall notify Management Company of each category of expenses (a “Category”) of which Master Tenant does not approve. The preliminary Annual Operating Projection thereafter shall be revised as Master Tenant and Management Company may agree, and shall, upon Master Tenant’s approval, constitute the applicable approved Annual Operating Projection for the forthcoming Fiscal Year. To the extent that Master Tenant does not notify Management Company in writing within said 30-day period that it does not approve of specific Categories, then the previous year’s Annual Operating Projection, increased by five percent (5%), shall continue as the Annual Operating Projection with respect to such Categories for the forthcoming Fiscal Year, until Master Tenant approves the Annual Operating Projection for the forthcoming Fiscal Year.

B. The Annual Operating Projection is an estimate only and Management Company shall, from time to time during each Fiscal Year as it deems appropriate, suggest revisions thereto for Master Tenant’s review and approval.

ARTICLE XIII

REAL ESTATE AND PROPERTY TAXES

13.01 Impositions

During the Term of the Agreement all real estate or ad valorem property taxes, assessments, inventory and personal property taxes and similar charges on or relating to the Hotel (“Impositions”) following or allocable to the period following the Management Commencement Date shall be paid by Management Company, to the extent sufficient Working Capital exists, from Gross Revenues before any fines, penalties, or interest are added thereto or liens are placed upon the Hotel, unless payment is in good faith being contested at Master Tenant’s direction and enforcement thereof is stayed. Management Company, either in its own name or, if legally required, in Master Tenant’s name, may, subject to Master Tenant’s approval, contest by appropriate proceedings conducted in good faith and with due diligence the amount, validity or application in whole or in part of any such Imposition or any lien therefor, and Master Tenant shall have the right to participate in any such proceedings. In addition, Master Tenant shall have the right to contest, or cause Management Company to contest, the amount, validity or application in whole or in part of any such Imposition or any lien therefore. In the event Gross Revenues are likely to be insufficient to pay such Impositions when due, Management Company shall so advise Master Tenant no later than thirty (30) days prior to the due date of such Impositions in order to provide Master Tenant sufficient time in which to provide funds sufficient for the payment of such Impositions. Management Company shall also, no later than thirty (30) days prior to the date payment is due or three (3) days following the written request from Master Tenant, furnish Master Tenant with copies of official tax bills and assessments and evidence of payment or contest thereof. Any refund or rebate of any Impositions shall be credited to Operating Profit in the Fiscal Year in which such refund is received. All reasonable costs incurred in connection with any such negotiations or proceedings shall constitute Deductions for the year in which they are paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such contest shall be conducted if it will in any way endanger title to the Hotel, the land on which the Hotel is located or Master Tenant’s interest in the Hotel, or create a cloud on title to any of the foregoing or constitute a default under any financing secured by the Hotel, or otherwise expose Master Tenant to the risk of criminal liability. Master Tenant shall within thirty (30) days of receipt of evidence of payment or contest furnish Management Company with copies of official tax bills and assessments and of payment or contest thereof. All Impositions shall constitute Deductions from Gross Revenues in determining Operating Profit provided, however, that any fines, penalties or interest added thereto to the extent resulting from Master Tenant’s acts or omissions shall be paid by Master Tenant at its sole expense.

13.02 Master Tenant’s Responsibility

-29-

“Impositions” shall not include the following, all of which shall be paid solely by Master Tenant, not from Gross Revenues nor from Hotel reserve accounts: (1) Any income, excess profits or revenue taxes of Master Tenant or any person, firm or entity as a partner of Master Tenant; (2) taxes, assessments or similar charges imposed upon or levied against the Hotel or the Property for the costs of public improvements, including, without limitation, roads, sidewalks, public lighting fixtures, utility lines, storm sewers, drainage facilities and similar improvements; (3) “Impact Fees” which are required of Master Tenant as a condition to the issuance of site plan approval, zoning variances or building permits; and (4) “Tax-increment financing” or similar financing whereby the municipality or other taxing authority has assisted in financing the construction of the Hotel by temporarily reducing or abating normal Impositions in return for substantially higher levels of Impositions at later dates.

HOTEL EMPLOYEES

14.01 Employees

A. Management Company shall have the discretion and obligation to hire, promote, supervise, direct, train all employees at the Hotel, to fix their terms of compensation and, generally to establish and maintain policies relating to employment at the Hotel. All such employees shall at all times be the employees of Management Company and not of Master Tenant or Owner, and neither Master Tenant nor Owner shall have any responsibility or control respecting such employees unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, provided that the terms of their employment, including without limitation, compensation, shall be comparable to the terms of employment for employees at other comparable hotels in the vicinity of the Hotel. No collective bargaining agreements will be signed without Master Tenant’s approval.

B. Intentionally Deleted

C. Management Company and Master Tenant agree to cooperate with each other to attempt to avoid any disqualification of qualified employee benefit plans of either of them to the extent such plans may be affected by the provisions of this Agreement or the services provided hereunder; provided, however, that neither Management Company nor Master Tenant shall be required to change the terms of any such plan as part of such cooperation.

D. All personnel employed at the Hotel shall be recruited and trained by Management Company in a manner consistent with Management Company’s practices at other comparable hotels managed and operated by Management Company.

14.02 Termination

A. At Termination, other than by reason of an Event of Default by Management Company hereunder, Management Company shall be reimbursed from Gross Revenues (or, if Gross Revenues are not sufficient, with funds provided by Master Tenant) for all costs and expenses properly incurred by Management Company which arise out of either the transfer or the termination of employment of Management Company’s employees at the Hotel, such as reasonable

-30-

transfer costs, unemployment compensation, other employee liability costs (including without limitation costs incurred pursuant to the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1990 (as amended, the “WARN Act”) and liabilities of paid time off) and a reasonable allowance for severance pay for Executive Employees (as defined below) of the Hotel who do not continue to be employed with respect to the Hotel and who will not be transferred to another hotel owned or managed by Management Company. The amount of such allowance for severance shall not exceed an amount equal to Management Company’s then current severance benefit for such terminated Executive Employees and that which is customary in the industry, unless Master Tenant otherwise approves. As used herein, the term “Executive Employees” shall mean each member of the senior executive staff and each department head of the Hotel.

B. Intentionally Deleted

C. Except as to liabilities or claims with respect to Hotel employees which have accrued or arisen prior to, or as a result of, Termination and except for those provisions hereof which are expressly stated to survive Termination, all obligations hereunder with respect to Hotel employees shall cease effective upon the Termination hereof.

ARTICLE XV

DAMAGE AND CONDEMNATION

15.01 Damage and Repair

A. If, during the Term hereof, the Hotel is damaged by fire, casualty, or other cause, Owner shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether to repair or replace the damaged portion of the Hotel or not to rebuild. If Owner elects not to repair or replace the damaged portion of the Hotel, Management Company may in such event terminate this Agreement, provided that all amounts due to Management Company hereunder up to and in connection with the termination shall be paid by Master Tenant. Any such termination hereunder shall not be a Default and no termination fees shall be paid to Management Company.

B. In the event damage or destruction to the Hotel from any cause materially and adversely affects the operation of the Hotel and Owner or Master Tenant, as applicable, fails, after receipt of all necessary insurance proceeds (subject to unreasonable delays caused by Management Company, including unreasonable delays in adjusting the insurance claim with the carriers which participate in Management Company’s blanket insurance program, and subject to Force Majeure delays), to promptly commence and thereafter diligently pursue the repairing, rebuilding or replacement of the same so that the Hotel shall be substantially the same as it was prior to such damage or destruction, Management Company may, at its option, elect to terminate this Agreement upon ninety (90) days’ written notice; provided that Owner and Master Tenant shall have the right to nullify such termination by curing its default in respect of such repair, rebuilding or replacement within such ninety (90) day period. Additionally, if the Franchise Agreement is terminated due to Owner’s or Master Tenant’s failure to repair and restore the Hotel, this Agreement shall terminate, effective upon the termination of the Franchise Agreement.

-31-

15.02 Condemnation

A. If all or substantially all of the Hotel is taken in any eminent domain, condemnation, compulsory acquisition, or similar proceeding by any competent authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, this Agreement shall terminate as of the date Management Company ceases to have physical presence of the Hotel. Any award for such taking or condemnation is to be paid to Owner, provided that Management Company may advance and collect any claims to which it may be entitled as a result of such taking in accordance with the terms of Section 15.02 C.

B. In the event a portion of the Hotel shall be taken by the events described in Section 15.02 A or the entire Hotel is affected on a temporary basis but the result is not to make it unreasonable to continue to operate the Hotel, this Agreement shall not terminate. In the event of any partial or temporary taking as described in this Section 15.02 B, the entire amount of any award made for such condemnation or taking shall be paid to Owner. Owner shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to determine whether to restore (at its cost) the untaken portion of the Hotel, or the portion of the Hotel temporarily taken, so that the Hotel constitutes a complete architectural unit of the same general character and condition (as nearly as may be possible under the circumstances) as the Hotel existing immediately prior to the condemnation.

C. All condemnation awards or payments in lieu thereof for the value of the land and improvements so taken shall be the sole and exclusive property of Owner. Management Company may make a claim to the condemning authority for its loss of business arising from the events described in this Section 15.02, but only to the extent that such claim in no way prejudices, diminishes, reduces, or impairs Owner’s rights under the preceding sentence.

Upon the occurrence of any Default by a party (referred to as the “defaulting party”) under Section 16.01 B or C, such Default shall immediately and automatically, without the necessity of any notice to the defaulting party, constitute an “Event of Default” under this Agreement. Upon the occurrence of any Default by a defaulting party under any other subsection of Section 16.01, such Default shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Agreement if the defaulting party fails to cure such Default within the respective cure or payment period (as specified in the applicable Paragraph) after written notice from the non-defaulting party specifying such Default and demanding such cure or payment.
