shall have absolute discretion with respect to all personnel employed at the
Inn, including, without limitation, decisions regarding hiring, promoting,
transferring, compensating, supervising, terminating, directing and training all
employees at the Inn, and, generally, establishing and maintaining all policies
relating to employment. Manager shall use best efforts to notify Owner as soon
as practical of any anticipated changes in the persons who occupy the positions
of General Manager and Director of Sales and Marketing for the Inn; provided,
however, that the parties acknowledge and agree that any failure by Manager to
provide such notice shall neither constitute an "Event of Default" under this
Agreement nor constitute a material breach of this Agreement. Manager shall
decide which, if any, of the employees of the Inn shall reside at the Inn, and
shall be permitted to provide free accommodations and amenities to its employees
and representatives living at or visiting the Inn in connection with its
management or operation. No person shall otherwise be given gratuitous
accommodations or services without prior joint approval of Owner and Manager
except in accordance with usual practices of the hotel and travel industry.

necessary to enable the Inn to comply with the System Standards, and Manager
shall have discretion in operating the Inn in order that the Inn will comply
with System Standards.

at the time of entering into such FF&E Lease exceeds Fifty Thousand Dollars
($50,000), as adjusted by the GDP Deflator; (ii) the fair market value of the
FF&E subject to all FF&E Leases at the time of entering into such FF&E Lease
exceeds Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) in the aggregate, as
adjusted by the GDP Deflator; (iii) the FF&E subject to such FF&E Lease is FF&E
that is not customarily leased in the hotel industry in the United States; or
(iv) such FF&E Lease is on payment terms (including the amounts and schedule of
payments) that would be materially more favorable to the lessor thereof than
payment terms customary in the hotel industry in the United States for leases of
similar FF&E.
ARTICLE II
TERM
2.01 Term
The "Term" of this Agreement shall consist of an "Initial Term" and the
"Renewal Term(s)." The "Initial Term" shall begin on the Effective Date and
shall continue until the expiration of the thirtieth (30th) full Fiscal Year
after the expiration of the Fiscal Year in which the Effective Date occurs.
Thereafter, this Agreement shall automatically, and with no further action
required by Owner or Manager, be renewed on the same terms and conditions for
each of three (3) successive periods of ten (10) Fiscal Years each ("Renewal
Term(s)"), unless Owner or
5
Manager shall have given prior written notice to the other party of its election
not to renew at least one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the expiration
of the then current Initial Term or Renewal Term, as the case may be.
2.02 Performance Termination
A. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.02.B and Section 2.02.C. below,
Owner shall have the option to terminate this Agreement and Owner or an operator
approved by Marriott in its sole discretion shall enter into a Residence Inn by
Marriott franchise agreement in the form as shall have been published by Manager
or its Affiliate in its then-current Uniform Franchise Offering Circular (the
"Franchise Agreement") if, with respect to any two (2) consecutive Fiscal Years
(not including any portion of any Fiscal Year prior to the expiration of the
fifth (5th) full Fiscal Year after the Effective Date):
1. Operating Profit for each such Fiscal Year is less than the
Performance Termination Threshold for such Fiscal Year; provided that, for
purposes of this Section 2.02.A.1. only, Operating Profit shall be computed
without deducting any Impositions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, real estate
and personal property taxes in an amount not to exceed the amount of such taxes
paid during the second (2nd) Fiscal Year following the Effective Date shall be
deducted in computing Operating Profit for purposes of this Section 2.02.A.1.;
and
2. The Revenue Index of the Inn during each such Fiscal Year is less
than the Revenue Index Threshold for such Fiscal Year; and
3. The fact that the Inn has not met the tests set forth in Section
2.02.A.1. and Section 2.02.A.2. is not wholly or partially the result of (x) an
Extraordinary Event, (y) any major renovation of the Inn which has been approved
by Owner, or (z) any default by Owner. In the event that either clause (x),
clause (y) or clause (z) has affected the ability of the Inn to meet the tests
set forth in Section 2.02.A.1. or Section 2.02.A.2. in any given Fiscal Year,
then such Fiscal Year shall not be counted for purposes of the foregoing test,
and shall be treated as not having occurred for purposes of determining whether
the tests are satisfied for two consecutive Fiscal Years.
Owner shall exercise such option to terminate by serving written notice
thereof on Manager no later than sixty (60) days after Owner's receipt of the
annual accounting under Section 4.01.B. for the second (2nd) of the two (2)
Fiscal Years referred to in Section 2.02.A. If Manager does not elect to avoid
such Termination pursuant to Section 2.02.B. below, this Agreement shall
terminate as of the end of the fourth (4th) full Accounting Period following the
later of the date on which Manager receives (i) the above-described notice from
Owner and (ii) the Franchise Agreement executed by Owner or an operator approved
by Marriott in its sole discretion; provided that such period of time shall be
extended as required by applicable Legal Requirements pertaining to the
termination of the employment of the employees at the Inn unless the entity
which succeeds Manager as the operator of the Inn hires a sufficient number of
the employees at the Inn to avoid the occurrence, in connection with such
Termination, of a "closing" under the WARN Act and otherwise complies with
applicable Legal Requirements.
6
Owner's failure to exercise its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to
Section 2.02.A. with respect to any given Fiscal Year shall not be deemed an
estoppel or waiver of Owner's right to terminate this Agreement with respect to
subsequent Fiscal Years to which this Section 2.02.A. may apply.
B. Upon receipt of Owner's written notice of Termination under Section
2.02.A., Manager shall have the option, to be exercised within sixty (60) days
after receipt of said notice, to avoid such Termination by electing (in a
written notice to Owner) to either (i) waive the payment of the Base Management
Fee (beginning as of the first (1st) day of the first (1st) full Accounting
Period following the date of such notice from Manager) until such time as the
total cumulative amount of such waived Base Management Fee equals the total
amount by which Operating Profit for each of the Fiscal Years in question (i.e.,
the two (2) Fiscal Years referred to in Section 2.02.A.1.) was less than the
Performance Termination Threshold for such Fiscal Years; or (ii) pay to Owner
the total amount by which Operating Profit for each of the Fiscal Years in
question (i.e., the two (2) Fiscal Years referred to in Section 2.02.A.1.) was
less than the Performance Termination Threshold for such Fiscal Years (the
amounts set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) shall be referred to as the "Cure
Payment"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such waived Base Management Fee
shall be deemed paid by Owner for purposes of computing Operating Profit for the
period during which such Base Management Fee is waived by Manager. In the event
Manager makes a Cure Payment pursuant to this Section 2.02.B., the then prior
two (2) Fiscal Years with respect to which such Cure Payment was made shall
thereafter not be treated, for purposes of subsequent elections by Owner
pursuant to Section 2.02.A., as Fiscal Years in which the circumstances
described in Section 2.02.A.1. have occurred. If Manager exercises such option
to make such Cure Payment, then the foregoing Owner's election to terminate this
Agreement under Section 2.02.A. shall be canceled and of no force or effect with
respect to the two (2) Fiscal Years in question, and this Agreement shall not
terminate. Such cancellation, however, shall not affect the right of Owner, as
to each subsequent Fiscal Year to which Section 2.02.A. applies, to again elect
to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.02.A. (which
subsequent election shall again be subject to Manager's rights under this
Section 2.02.B.). If Manager does not exercise its option to make a Cure Payment
as aforesaid, then this Agreement shall be terminated as of the date set forth
in Section 2.02.A.
C. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.02 to the contrary, if
Manager does not elect to avoid such Termination within the sixty (60) day
period set forth in Section 2.02.B, upon execution of the Franchise Agreement,
Owner shall cause a third party operator approved by Manager in its sole
discretion to operate the Inn. Manager shall provide to Owner a list of at least
five (5) operators acceptable to Manager within ten (10) Business Days after
Owner's request therefor. If Owne' selects a [ ] hereforeor from such list to
operate the Inn, Manager shall be deemed to have approved such operator.
7
ARTICLE III
COMPENSATION OF MANAGER
3.01 Management Fees
In consideration of services to be performed during the Term, Manager shall
be paid the sum of the following as its management fees:
A. the Base Management Fee, which shall be retained by Manager from Gross
Revenues; plus
B. the Incentive Management Fee.
3.02 Operating Profit
A. Operating Profit, to the extent available, shall be distributed to Owner
and to Manager in the following order of priority:
1. An amount up to the maximum amount of Owner's Priority shall be
paid to Owner;
2. The Incentive Management Fee shall be paid to Manager; and
3. Any remaining balance of Operating Profit shall be paid to Owner.
Owner's Priority is not cumulative from one Fiscal Year to the next, and to
the extent the maximum amount of Owner's Priority is unpaid in any Fiscal Year,
such unpaid amount shall not accrue or otherwise be payable in any subsequent
Fiscal Year.
B. To the extent of available Operating Profit with respect to each
Accounting Period, Manager shall distribute a prorated portion of the Owner's
Priority to Owner for each such Accounting Period in accordance with Section
4.01.A., and shall be entitled to retain a prorated portion of the Incentive
Management Fee, which shall be retained by Manager from Operating Profit in
accordance with Section 3.02 and Section 4.01 for each such Accounting Period
based on its good faith estimate of the Incentive Management Fee for the full
Fiscal Year.
8
ARTICLE IV
ACCOUNTING, BOOKKEEPING AND BANK ACCOUNTS
4.01 Accounting, Distributions and Annual Reconciliation
A. Within twenty (20) days after the close of each Accounting Period,
Manager shall deliver an interim accounting (the "Accounting Period Statement")
to Owner showing Gross Revenues, Deductions, Operating Profit, and applications
and distributions thereof for the preceding Accounting Period. Manager shall
transfer to Owner, with each Accounting Period Statement, any interim amounts
due Owner, subject to Working Capital needs, and shall retain any interim
amounts due Manager.
B. Calculations and payments of the Incentive Management Fee, the Base
Management Fee, and distributions of Operating Profit made with respect to each
Accounting Period shall be accounted for cumulatively within a Fiscal Year, but
shall not be cumulative from one Fiscal Year to the next. Within the SEC Filing
Period, Manager shall deliver to Owner a statement (the "Annual Operating
Statement") in reasonable detail summarizing the operations of the Inn for the
immediately preceding Fiscal Year and a certificate of Manager's chief
accounting officer certifying that, to the best of his or her knowledge, such
Annual Operating Statement is true and correct. The parties shall, within five
(5) business days after Owner's receipt of such Annual Operating Statement, make
any adjustments, by cash payment, in the amounts paid or retained for such
Fiscal Year as are needed because of the final figures set forth in such Annual
Operating Statement. Such Annual Operating Statement shall be controlling over
the preceding Accounting Period Statements. No adjustments shall be made for any
Operating Loss in any preceding Fiscal Year.
C. To the extent there is an Operating Loss for any Accounting Period,
additional funds in the amount of any such Operating Loss shall be provided by
Owner within thirty (30) days after Manager has delivered written notice thereof
to Owner. If Owner does not so fund such Operating Loss within the thirty (30)
day time period, Manager shall have the right (without affecting Manager's other
remedies under this Agreement) to withdraw an amount to cover such Operating
Loss from future distributions of funds otherwise due to Owner. Furthermore, if
Owner fails to fund a deficiency upon request by Manager, Manager may also
withdraw interest upon such sum from the date payment was due until repayment to
Manager at a rate equal to the Prime Rate plus three (3) percentage points.
4.02 Books and Records
A. Books of control and account pertaining to operations at the Inn shall
be kept on the accrual basis and in all material respects in accordance with the
Uniform System of Accounts. Owner may at reasonable intervals during Manager's
normal business hours examine such records. If Owner desires to audit, examine,
or review the Annual Operating Statement, Owner shall notify Manager in writing
within sixty (60) days after receipt of such Annual Operating Statement of its
intention to audit and begin such audit no sooner than thirty (30) days and no
9
later than sixty (60) days after Manager's receipt of such notice. Owner shall
complete such audit within ninety (90) days after commencement thereof. If Owner
does not make such an audit, then such Annual Operating Statement shall be
deemed to be conclusively accepted by Owner as being correct, and Owner shall
have no right thereafter, except in the event of fraud by Manager, to question
or examine the same. If any audit by Owner discloses an understatement of any
amounts due Owner, Manager shall promptly pay Owner such amounts found to be
due, plus interest thereon (at the Prime Rate plus one percent (1%) per annum)
from the date such amounts should originally have been paid. If any audit
discloses that Manager has not received any amounts due it, Owner shall pay
Manager such amounts, plus interest thereon (at the Prime Rate plus one percent
(1%) per annum) from the date such amounts should originally have been paid. The
cost of the audit shall be paid by Owner; provided, however, Manager shall pay
for such cost if such audit discloses an underpayment to Owner for the Fiscal
Year so audited of more than five percent (5%) of the amount that should have
been paid to Owner for such Fiscal Year. Any dispute concerning the correctness
of an audit shall be settled by the Expert in accordance with Section 11.21.
B. All information regarding the operation of the Inn which is obtained by
Owner through an audit, other than aggregated financial information regarding
the results of operations of the inns in Owner's portfolio, shall be considered
confidential information and Owner agrees not to disclose such information
except as necessary to its advisors, attorneys and consultants participating in
the audit process, who shall likewise be informed of the confidential nature of
the information and of the duty not to disclose such information to third
parties.
4.03 Accounts, Expenditures
A. All funds derived from operation of the Inn shall be deposited by
Manager in bank accounts (the "Operating Accounts") established by Manager in a
bank or banks designated by Manager. Withdrawals from said Operating Accounts
shall be made solely by representatives of Manager whose signatures have been
authorized. Reasonable ▇▇▇▇▇ cash funds shall be maintained at the Inn.
B. All payments made by Manager hereunder shall be made from the Operating
Accounts, ▇▇▇▇▇ cash funds, or from the Reserve (in accordance with Section
5.02). Manager shall not be required to make any advance or payment with respect
to the Inn except out of such funds, and Manager shall not be obligated to incur
any liability or obligation with respect to the Inn. In any event, if any such
liability or obligation is incurred by Manager with respect to the Inn, Manager
shall have the option to deduct such amounts from Owner's share of Operating
Profit if Owner has not fully reimbursed Manager for said amounts within ten
(10) days after Owner's receipt of notice from Manager that said amounts are
due.
C. Debts and liabilities incurred by Manager as a result of its operation
and management of the Inn pursuant to the terms hereof, whether asserted before
or after Termination, will be paid by Owner to the extent funds are not
available for that purpose from Gross Revenues; Owner shall indemnify, defend
and hold Manager harmless from and against all loss, costs, liability, and
damage (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses)
10
arising from Owner's failure to pay such debts and liabilities; and the
provisions of this Section 4.03.C. shall survive Termination.
4.04 Annual Operating Projection
Manager shall deliver to Owner for its review, at least thirty (30) days
prior to the beginning of each Fiscal Year after the first Fiscal Year following
the Effective Date, a preliminary draft of the business plan and a projection of
the estimated Gross Revenues, departmental profits, Deductions, and Operating
Profit for the forthcoming Fiscal Year for the Inn (the "Annual Operating
Projection"). Manager will consider in good faith suggestions made by Owner with
respect to the Annual Operating Projection and make modifications thereto that
Manager deems appropriate. Manager in good faith shall endeavor to adhere to the
Annual Operating Projection. It is understood, however, that the Annual
Operating Projection is an estimate only and that unforeseen circumstances such
as, but not limited to, the costs of labor, material, services and supplies,
casualty, operation of law, or economic and market conditions may make adherence
to the Annual Operating Projection impracticable, and Manager shall be entitled
to depart therefrom due to causes of the foregoing nature.
4.05 Working Capital
On the Effective Date, Owner shall provide to Manager the initial Working
Capital for the Inn in the amount of Forty Three Thousand Two Hundred Dollars
($43,200). Owner shall from time to time during the Term promptly, but no later
than ten (10) days after written request by Manager, advance any additional
funds necessary to maintain Working Capital at levels reasonably determined by
Manager to be necessary to satisfy the needs of the Inn as its operation may
from time to time require. If Owner does not so fund additional Working Capital
within the said ten (10) day time period, Manager shall have the right (without
affecting Manager's other remedies under this Agreement) to withdraw an amount
equal to the funds requested by Manager for additional Working Capital from
future distributions of funds otherwise due to Owner. All funds so advanced for
Working Capital shall be utilized by Manager for the purposes of this Agreement
pursuant to cash-management policies established for the System. Upon
Termination, Manager shall, except as otIerwise provideI in this Agreement,
return the outstanding balance of the Working Capital to Owner.
4.06 Fixed Asset Supplies
The parties recognize that, as of the Effective Date, the level of funds
for Fixed Asset Supplies is reasonably believed to be reasonably sufficient for
the operations of the Inn, subject at all times to seasonal differences and
changes in circumstances after the Effective Date. Any additional funds which
are necessary to maintain Fixed Asset Supplies at levels determined by Manager
to be necessary to satisfy the needs of the Inn, as its operation may from time
to time require, shall be paid from Gross Revenues as Deductions. Fixed Asset
Supplies shall remain the property of Owner throughout the term of this
Agreement and upon Termination, except for Fixed Asset Supplies purchased by
Manager pursuant to Section 11.11.E.
11
4.07 Real Estate and Personal Property Taxes
A. Except as specifically set forth in Section 4.07.B. below, all real
estate and personal property taxes, levies, assessments (including special
assessments (regardless of when due or whether they are paid as a lump sum or in
installments over time) imposed because of facilities which are constructed by
or on behalf of the assessing jurisdiction (for example, roads, sidewalks,
sewers, culverts, etc.) which directly benefit the Inn (regardless of whether or
not they also benefit other buildings)), "Impact Fees" (regardless of when due
or whether they are paid as a lump sum or in installments over time) which are
required of Owner as a condition to the issuance of zoning variances or building
permits, and similar charges on or relating to the Inn (collectively,
"Impositions") during the Term shall be paid by Manager from Gross Revenues,
before any fine, penalty, or interest is added thereto or lien placed upon the
Inn or upon this Agreement, unless payment thereof is in good faith being
contested and enforcement thereof is stayed. Any such payments shall be
Deductions in determining Operating Profit. Owner shall, within five (5) days
after receipt, furnish Manager with copies of official tax bills and assessments
which it may receive with respect to the Inn. Either Owner or Manager (in which
case Owner agrees to sign the required applications and otherwise cooperate with
Manager in expediting the matter) may initiate proceedings to contest any
negotiations or proceedings with respect to any Imposition, and all reasonable
costs of any such contest shall be paid from Gross Revenues and shall be a
Deduction in determining Operating Profit. Manager shall, as part of its contest
or negotiation of any Imposition, be entitled, on Owner's behalf, to waive any
applicable statute of limitations in order to avoid paying the Imposition during
the pendency of any proceedings or negotiations with applicable authorities.
B. The word "Impositions" as used in this Agreement shall not include the
following, all of which shall be paid solely by Owner, not from Gross Revenues
nor from the Reserve:
1. Any franchise, corporate, estate, inheritance, succession, capital
levy or transfer tax imposed on Owner, or any income tax imposed on any income
of Owner (including distributions to Owner pursuant to Article III hereof); or
2. "Tax-increment financing" or similar financing whereby the
municipality or other taxing authority has assisted in financing the
construction of the Inn by temporarily reducing or abating normal Impositions in
return for substantially higher levels of Impositions at later dates.
4.08 ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Certification
Owner may, in connection with its quarterly Securities and Exchange
Commission reporting requirements (and in any event no more than four (4) times
in any Fiscal Year), request that Manager deliver to Owner a certificate from an
accounting officer of Manager, in a form approved by Manager's accounting firm,
certifying that, to his or her knowledge, the information contained in the
Accounting Period Statements for the Accounting Periods contained within the
applicable quarter are true and correct in all material respects, subject to
final adjustment based on the annual review conducted by Manager in preparing
the Annual Operating Statement.
12
Owner shall submit such request in writing, along with the date by which such
certificate is to be delivered, not less than five (5) business days prior to
the requested delivery date, and Manager shall deliver the certificate by the
requested date or, if later, within five (5) business days after Manager's
receipt of Owner's request' If Owner and its'Affiliates own more than one hotel
managed by Manager and its Affiliates, Manager and its Affiliates shall only be
required to deliver to Owner and its Affiliates one such certificate, which
certificate shall apply in the aggregate to the Accounting Period Statements
prepared by Manager and its Affiliates for all such hotels.
ARTICLE V
REPAIRS, MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENTS
5.01 Repairs and Maintenance to be Paid from Gross Revenues
Manager shall maintain the Inn in good repair and condition, use its
commercially reasonable best efforts (which efforts shall not require Manager to
expend any of its own funds) to comply with and abide by all applicable Legal
Requirements pertaining to its operation of the Inn (except for certain Legal
Requirements which are Owner's responsibility under Section 5.03 and Section
11.08 hereof), and shall make or cause to be made such routine maintenance,
repairs and minor alterations as it determines are necessary for such purposes.
The phrase "routine maintenance, repairs, and minor alterations" as used in this
Section 5.01 shall include only those which are normally expensed under
generally accepted accounting principles. The cost of such maintenance, repairs
and alterations shall be paid from Gross Revenues (and not from the Reserve) and
shall be treated as a Deduction.
5.02 Repairs, Maintenance and Equipment Replacements to be Paid from
Reserve
A. Manager shall establish a reserve account (the "Reserve"), in a bank or
similar institution reasonably acceptable to both Manager and Owner, to cover
the cost of:
1. Replacements, renewals and additions to the FF&E at the Inn; and
2. Routine Capital Expenditures.
B. During the period from the Effective Date to the expiration of the
thirteenth (13th) full Accounting Period after the Effective Date, Manager shall
transfer into the Reserve an amount equal to three percent (3%) of Gross
Revenues for such period; during the period from the beginning of the fourteenth
(14th) full Accounting Period to the expiration of the twenty-sixth (26th) full
Accounting Period, Manager shall transfer into the Reserve an amount equal to
four percent (4%) of Gross Revenues for each such Accounting Period; commencing
with the beginning of the twenty-seventh (27th) full Accounting Period and for
all Accounting Periods thereafter, subject to the provisions of Section 5.02.E.,
below, Manager shall transfer into the Reserve an amount equal to five percent
(5%) of Gross Revenues for each such Accounting
13
Period. Transfers into the Reserve shall be made at the time of each interim
accounting described in Section 4.01 hereof. All amounts transferred to the
Reserve shall be deducted from Gross Revenues in determining Operating Profit
and shall be deposited in the special Reserve account described in Section
5.02.A.
C. Manager shall from time to time make such (1) replacements and renewals
to the FF&E of the Inn, and (2) Routine Capital Expenditures, as it deems
necessary, up to the balance in the Reserve. No expenditures will be made in
excess of said balance without the approval of Owner. At the end of each Fiscal
Year, any amounts remaining in the Reserve shall be carried forward to the next
Fiscal Year. Proceeds from the sale of FF&E no longer necessary to the operation
of the Inn shall be added to the Reserve. The Reserve will be kept in an
interest-bearing account, and any interest which accrues thereon shall be
retained in the Reserve. Neither (1) proceeds from the disposition of FF&E, nor
(2) interest which accrues on amounts held in the Reserve, shall (a) result in
any reduction in the required contributions to the Reserve set forth in Section
5.02.B. above, nor (b) be included in Gross Revenues.
D. Manager shall prepare an estimate ("Repairs and Equipment Estimate") of
the expenditures necessary for (1) replacements, renewals and additions to the
FF&E of the Inn, and (2) Routine Capital Expenditures during the ensuing Fiscal
Year and shall deliver the Repairs and Equipment Estimate to Owner at the same
time it submits the Annual Operating Projection described in Section 4.04. The
Repairs and Equipment Estimate shall also indicate the estimated time schedule
for making such replacements, renewals and expenditures. Owner shall have thirty
(30) days after receipt to review and comment on such Repairs and Equipment
Estimate. Manager shall consider in good faith Owner's comments regarding the
Repairs and Equipment Estimate, provided that Owner's comments are consistent
with maintaining System Standards and acknowledging that FF&E replacements occur
at regular cycles for soft goods and case goods, which cycles are incorporated
in System Standards. Owner shall have the right to approve any individual
expenditure in the Repair and Equipment Estimate of $10,000 (as adjusted by the
GDP Deflator) or more, and in the event Owner disapproves any such individual
expenditure, Owner will provide Manager in writing with the specific reasons for
its disapproval within such thirty (30) day period; provided, however, Owner
shall not withhold its approval of any Routine Capital Expenditures or any
replacements, renewals and additions to the FF&E that are required, in Manager's
reasonable judgment, to keep the Inn in a first-class condition at least in
accordance with System Standards or otherwise required for the continued safe
and orderly operation of the Inn. Thereafter, in the thirty (30) day period
following Manager's receipt of Owner's disapproval of such individual
expenditure, the parties will attempt to resolve in good faith Owner's
objections and if one or more of Owner's objections have not been resolved as of
the end of such thirty (30) day period, such dispute shall be referred to the
Expert as provided in Section 11.21. FF&E Leases shall be subject to Section
1.08.
E. As the Inn ages, these percentages may not be sufficient to keep the
Reserve at the levels necessary to make the replacements, renewals and additions
to the FF&E of the Inn, or to make the Routine Capital Expenditures which are
required to maintain the Inn in accordance with the System Standards therefor.
If the Repairs and [ ] hereforent Estimate prepared in good faith by Manager
exceeds the available funds in the Reserve, Owner shall:
14
1. agree in writing to increase temporarily the annual percentage in
Section 5.02.B. to provide the additional funds required, or
2. make a lump sum contribution to the Reserve in the necessary
amount; such amount (plus interest at the Prime Rate plus one percent (1%) per
annum) shall be fully repaid to Owner from Gross Revenues in equal installments
over the period of the next sixty-five (65) Accounting Periods, and such
installment repayments shall be Deductions.
If Owner fails to elect one of the above alternatives within sixty (60)
days after Manager's request therefor, Owner shall be deem [ ] hereforeve
elected the alternative set forth in Section 5.02.E.1. above. If Owner elects
the alternative set forth in Section 5.02.E.2. above and fails to provide the
additional funds required thereunder within sixty (60) days after Owner's
receipt of Manager's request for additional funding, such failure shall
constitute an Event of Default by Owner.
5.03 Major Repairs Alterations, Improvements, Renewals, and Replacements to
be Funded by Owner
A. Manager shall prepare an annual estimate (the "Building Estimate") of
the expenses necessary for non-routine or major repairs, alterations,
improvements, renewals and replacements (which repairs, alterations,
improvements, renewals and replacements are not Routine Capital Expenditures) to
the Inn including, without limitation, the structure, the exterior facade, the
mechanical, electrical, heating, ventilating, air conditioning, plumbing or
vertical transportation elements of each of the Inn buildings, and other
non-routine repairs and maintenance to the Buildings. Manager shall not make any
expenditures for such purposes without the prior written consent of Owner unless
otherwise permitted herein. Manager shall submit the Building Estimate to Owner
for its approval at the same time the Annual Operating Projection is submitted.
Owner shall have thirty (30) days after receipt to review and approve such
Building Estimate, it being agreed that Owner shall not withhold its approval
with respect to Capital Expenditures as are required, in Manager's reasonable
judgment, to keep the Inn in a first-class, competitive, efficient and
economical operating condition in accordance with System Standards or otherwise
required for the continued safe and orderly operation of the Inn, including the
removal of Hazardous Materials in compliance with all Environmental Laws (as
more particularly described in Section 11.08). Manager shall be authorized to
take appropriate remedial action without receiving Owner's prior consent as
follows: (i) in an emergency threatening the Inn or the life or property of its
guests, invitees or employees; (ii) if the Capital Expenditures are necessary to
satisfy a Legal Requirement (subject to Owner's right to contest or oppose, by
appropriate proceedings, any such Legal Requirement); or (iii) if the
continuation of the given condition will subject Manager and/or Owner to civil
or criminal liability. Manager shall cooperate with Owner in the pursuit of any
such action and shall have the right to participate therein.
B. The cost of all repairs, alterations, improvements, renewals or
replacements referred to in this Section 5.03 (including the expenses incurred
by either Owner or Manager in
15
connection with any civil or criminal proceeding described above) shall be borne
solely by Owner, and shall not be paid from Gross Revenues nor from the Reserve.
C. If Owner fails to approve and fund any proposed expenditures described
in Section 5.03.A. within sixty (60) days after the submission to Owner of the
request therefor, Manager shall have,[ ] hereforetion to any other rights it may
have under this Agreement, the option of terminating this Agreement upon six (6)
months' written notice to Owner.
5.04 Ownership of Replacements
All repairs, alterations, improvements, renewals or replacements made
pursuant to this Article V, and all amounts kept in the Reserve, shall be the
property of Owner, subject to Manager's rights to such funds as otherwise
provided in this Agreement.
5.05 Design Specifications
Subject to brand design standards generally employed for the System, with
respect to any capital expenditure programs submitted to Owner by Manager, Owner
shall have the right to choose in its reasonable discretion one prototype
package for such capital expenditure program from the variety of standard
prototype packages available to complete such program. With respect to custom
design packages that fall outside the scope of the then-current brand design
standards and prototype packages generally employed for the System, Owner and
Manager must mutually agree upon the details of such custom design packages,
including design specifications.
5.06 Management of Hotel Renovation and Construction Projects
Owner shall "ave the r"g"t to manage the construction of any repair,
refurbishment (including FF&E replacement), renovation or construction project
at the Inn, that exceeds a total budgeted cost of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
($500,000), as adjusted by the GDP Deflator; provided, however, that (i)
Marriott International Design & Construction Services, Inc. be allowed to bid on
all projects funded from the Reserve; (ii) prior to commencement of a renovation
or construction project, Owner shall submit to Manager's Hotel Design Review
Committee (or such similar committee), for its approval, all project plans,
drawings and specifications and shall ensure that the final plans, drawings and
specifications pursuant to which the project is undertaken conform to those
approved by such committee; (iii) all materials used and quality of installation
and finish shall be equal to or better than those required by System Standards;
(iv) the contractors, architects and other consultants utilized by Owner shall
be subject to the approval of Manager (based upon reputation and experience) and
shall be fully insured and bonded to the reasonable satisfaction of Manager; (v)
the project shall not be deemed completed until Manager, in its reasonable
judgment, certifies that the renovation or construction work conforms with all
project plans, drawings, and specifications approved by Manager; and (vi) Owner
shall work cooperatively with Manager to minimize interruption to Inn
operations, and to the experience of the Hotel's guests, from the project. Any
construction project or Inn renovation that has a total budgeted cost of Five
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), or less,
16
as adjusted by the GDP Deflator, shall be managed through Marriott International
Design & Construction Services, Inc. or such other design and construction firm
selected by Manager.
ARTICLE VI

6.01 Property Insurance
A. Manager shall, commencing with the Effective Date and for the duration
of the Term, procure and maintain, using funds deducted from Gross Revenues in
determining Operating Profit, a minimum of the following insurance:
1. Insurance on the Inn (including contents) against loss or damage by
all perils included in "all risk" (as such term is commonly used in the
insurance industry) coverage, in an amount not less than one hundred percent
(100%) of the replacement cost thereof, except that if such 100% replacement
cost coverage is not available on reasonable rates and terms, then such
insurance shall be in an amount not less than ninety percent (90%) of the
replacement cost thereof (less excavation and foundation costs), of the Inn;
2. Earthquake (except in California) and flood insurance, if available
on reasonable rates and terms, to be determined at the discretion of Manager;
3. Insurance against loss or damage from explosion of boilers,
pressure vessels, pressure pipes and sprinklers, to the extent applicable,

less than one (1) year after the occurrence, of a type and in amounts and with
such deductible limits as are generally established by Manager at the other inns
it owns or manages under the Marriott Residence Inn name in the United States.
B. All policies of insurance required under Section 6.01. A. 1, 2, 3 and 4
shall insure Owner, Manager, and the holder of the first mortgage indebtedness
with respect to the Inn (a "First Mortgage"); and any losses thereunder shall be
payable to the parties as and to the extent their respective interests, if any,
may appear.
C. Any Mortgage on the Inn shall contain provisions to the effect that
proceeds of the insurance policies required to be carried under Section 6.01
shall be available for repair and restoration of the Inn.
17

B. Fidelity bonds, with reasonable limits and deductibles to be determined
by Manager, covering its employees in job classifications normally bonded in the

damage, with such deductible limits or self-insured retentions as are generally
established by Manager at the other inns it owns or manages under the "Residence
Inn by Marriott" name in the United States; if Manager feels in its reasonable
discretion that higher limits are appropriate, it will obtain them; and
D. Such other insurance in amounts as Manager in its reasonable judgment
deems advisable for protection against claims, liabilities and losses arising
out of or connected with the operation of the Inn or as reasonably required by
Owner's lenders holding Qualified Mortgages on the Inn.
6.03 Coverage
All insurance described in Sections 6.01 and 6.02 may be obtained by
Manager by endorsement or equivalent means under its or Marriott's blanket
insurance policies, provided that such blanket policies substantially fulfill
the requirements specified herein. Deductible limits and self-insured retentions
shall be as provided in the blanket policies covering the inns owned or managed

addition, Manager may self-insure workers' compensation insurance (if it has
legally qualified to do so) or otherwise retain such risks or portions thereof
as it does with respect to other inns it owns or manages under the "Residence

basis to the inns participating in such programs. Any reserves, losses, costs,
damages or expenses which are uninsured, or fall within deductible limits, shall
be treated as a cost of insurance and shall be Deductions in determining
Operating Profit. Upon Termination, an escrow fund in an amount reasonably
acceptable to Manager (which amount, when funded, shall thereafter be final as

amount of any deductible limits and all other costs which will eventually have
to be paid by Manager with respect to pending or contingent claims, including
those which arise after Termination for causes arising during the term of the
Agreement.
ARTICLE VII
DAMAGE AND REPAIR
7.01 Damage and Repair
A. If, during the Term, the Inn is damaged or destroyed by fire, casualty
or other cause, Owner shall, at its cost and expense and with all reasonable
diligence, repair or replace the damaged or destroyed portion of the Inn to the
same condition as existed previously and Manager shall have the right to
discontinue operating the Inn to the extent it deems necessary to comply with
applicable law, ordinance, regulation or order or as necessary for the safe and
orderly operation of the Inn. To the extent available, proceeds from the
insurance described in this Agreement shall be applied to such repairs or
replacements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner shall not be obligated to
repair or replace the damaged or destroyed portion of the Inn if one or more of
the following is true: (i) the Inn is so badly damaged or destroyed that it
cannot reasonably be repaired or replaced within eighteen (18) months of the
date on which the construction work relating to the repair and/or replacement
would begin; (ii) with respect to insurance obtained by Manager under Section
6.01, the proceeds of such insurance available for such repair or replacement
are less than ninety percent (90%) of the estimated repair and replacement
costs; or (iii) the remainder of the Term is less than ten (10) years and, upon
Owner's request, Manager fails to agree to extend the Term to a date which is at
least ten (10) years after the estimated date of the completion of such repair
and/or replacement. If Owner elects not to repair or replace said damaged
portion of the Inn for one or more of the foregoing reasons, it shall so notify
Manager by written notice within ninety (90) days after the date of the
casualty.
B. In the event damage or destruction to the Inn from any cause materially
and adversely affects the operation of the Inn and (i) Owner fails to promptly
commence and
19
complete the repairing, rebuilding or replacement of the same as required by
Section 7.01.A. so that the Inn shall be substantially the same as it was prior
to such damage or destruction, Manager may, at its option, elect to either
undertake such work for the account of Owner, terminate this Agreement by
written notice to Owner and this Agreement shall terminate on the date that is
sixty (60) days after receipt of such written notice by Owner, and/or pursue all
other rights and remedies pursuant to this Agreement; or (ii) Owner notifies
Manager within the time period set forth in Section 7.01.A. above, that Owner
will not repair or replace such damage for one or more of the reasons set forth
in Section 7.01.A., Manager may, at its option, terminate this Agreement by
written notice to Owner and this Agreement shall terminate on the date that is
sixty (60) days after receipt of such written notice by Owner.
7.02 Condemnation
A. In the event all or substantially all of the Inn shall be taken in any
eminent domain, condemnation, compulsory acquisition, or similar proceeding by
any competent authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, or in the
event a portion of the Inn shall be so taken, but the result is that it is
unreasonable to continue to operate the Inn in accordance with the standards
required by this Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate. Owner and Manager
shall each have the right to initiate such proceedings as they deem advisable to
recover any compensation to which they may be entitled.
B. In the event a portion of the Inn shall be taken by the events described
in Section 7.02.A., or the entire Inn is affected but on a temporary basis, and
the result is not to make it unreasonable to continue to operate the Inn, this
Agreement shall not terminate. However, so much of any award for any such
partial taking or condemnation as shall be necessary to render the Inn
equivalent to its condition prior to such event shall be used for such purpose,
and the balance of such award shall be distributed in accordance with the
provisions of a Qualified Mortgage; provided, however, that such balance shall
be deemed to be included in Gross Revenues. Manager shall have the right to
discontinue operating the Inn to the extent it deems necessary for the safe and
orderly operation of the Inn.
ARTICLE VIII
OWNERSHIP OF THE INN
8.01 Ownership of the Inn
A. Owner hereby covenants that (i) Owner holds leasehold title to the Site
pursuant to the Hotel Lease; (ii) Landlord holds good and marketable fee title
to the Site; and (iii) Landlord will have, keep, and maintain good and
marketable fee title to the Inn free and clear of any and all liens,
encumbrances or other charges, except as follows:
1. easements or other encumbrances (other than those described in this
Section 8.01 below) that do not adversely affect the operation of the Inn by
Manager and that are
20
not prohibited pursuant to Section 8.04 of this Agreement, including, without
limitation, (i) any encumbrances or other defects of title subject to which
title was conveyed to Landlord, or (ii) liens, encumbrances or other charges
resulting from Manager's acts that are the fault of Manager pursuant to Section
8.05.
2. Qualified Mortgages; or
3. liens for taxes, assessments, levies or other public charges not
yet due or due but not yet payable.
B. Owner (and its Affiliates) shall pay and discharge, or cause to be paid
and discharged, on or before the due date, any and all (i) payments due under
any Mortgage with respect to the Inn; and (ii) any rent due under the Hotel
Lease. Owner shall indemnify, defend, and hold Manager harmless from and against
all claims, Litigation and damages arising from the failure to make any such
payments as and when required; and this obligation of Owner shall survive
Termination. Manager shall have no responsibility for payment of debt service or
rent due with respect to the Inn, from Gross Revenues or otherwise, and such
responsibility shall be solely that of Owner (and its Affiliates).
C. Owner covenants that Manager shall quietly hold, occupy and enjoy the
Inn in accordance with the terms of this Agreement throughout the Term hereof
free from hindrance, ejection or molestation by Owner or any other party
claiming under, through or by right of Owner. Owner agrees to pay and discharge
any payments and charges and, at its expense, to prosecute all appropriate
actions, judicial or otherwise, necessary to assure such free and quiet
occupation.
8.02 Mortgages
A. Owner shall be permitted to encumber the Inn and/or the Site with any
Mortgage, provided that such Mortgage meets all of the following requirements:
1. The proposed Mortgage is from an Institutional Lender and is on
commercially reasonable terms and conditions;
2. As of the date of the proposed financing, the aggregate principal
balance of all Mortgages encumbering the Inn, including the proposed Mortgage,
shall be no greater than the lesser of: (x) seventy percent (70%) of the fair
market value of the Inn; or (y) the dollar amount obtained by (a) dividing the
average annual Operating Profit for the twenty-six (26) most recent full
Accounting Periods by the Coverage Ratio; then (b) multiplying the result of
clause (a) by the Capitalization Multiple; and
3. Owner, Manager and the holder of such Mortgage shall have entered
into a Subordination Agreement (to be recorded in the real property records in
the jurisdiction where the Site is located) as further described in Section 8.03
below.
21
B. For purposes of this Section 8.02, the fair market value of the Inn
shall be (i) as set forth in any then current appraisal obtained or accepted by
an Institutional Lender in connection with a Qualified Mortgage, or (ii) in the
absence of such an appraisal, as reasonably determined by Owner and Manager. If
Owner and Manager do not agree on such fair market value, either party may
request that a licensed appraiser (reasonably acceptable to both parties) shall
determine the fair market value of the Inn. If the parties cannot agree on an
appraiser within thirty (30) days after the date on which either party notifies
the other that it wishes to have the fair market value of the Inn be determined
by an appraisal, either party may elect to have such fair market value
determined by the Expert pursuant to Section 11.21. Any Mortgage which meets all
of the requirements set forth in this Section 8.02 shall be referred to in this
Agreement as a "Qualified Mortgage."
C. In the event Manager receives any reasonable request for information on
the Inn from the holder of any Qualified Mortgage (and including any Affiliate
of Manager providing any financing in connection with the Inn), Owner agrees
that Manager II hereby authorized to provide or distribute such information
directly to such lender.
D. Without altering any of Manager's rights under this Agreemen', and
provided that none of Manager's rights under this Agreement are adversely
affected, Manager shall cooperate, at no cost to Manager, in good faith with
Owner and its Mortgagee in connection with any Qualified Mortgage including the
negotiation and execution of any other agreements customarily required by
Institutional Lenders in connection with the Qualified Mortgage.
8.03 Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment
A. Owner will obtain from any Mortgagee which holds a Mortgage as of the
Effective Date (or thereafter) an instrument (the "Subordination Agreement"),
reasonably satisfactory in all respects to Manager and such Mortgagee, which
shall be recordable in the jurisdiction where the Inn is located, pursuant to
which:
1. This Agreement and any extensions, renewals, replacements or
modifications thereto, and all right and interest of Manager in and to the Inn,
shall be subject and subordinate to such Mortgage, with notice and opportunity
to cure rights and post-default cure rights in favor of Mortgagee;
2. Manager shall be obligated to each of the Subsequent Owners (as
defined below) to perform all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement for
the balance of the remaining Term hereof, with the same force and effect as if
such Subsequent Owner were the Owner; and
3. In the event that there is a foreclosure of such Mortgage (or a
deed in lieu of foreclosure), or other exercise by such Mortgagee (or its
successor) of its remedies in the event of default, in connection with which
title or possession of the Inn is transferred to the Mortgagee (or its designee)
or to a purchaser at foreclosure or to a subsequent purchaser from the Mortgagee
(or from its designee) (all of the foregoing shall collectively be referred to
as "Subsequent

Owners"), this Agreement shall not be terminated and Manager shall not be
disturbed in its rights under this Agreement.
B. In the event that the Subordination Agreement contains provisions
requiring Manager (upon a default under the Mortgage, or upon various other
stipulated conditions) to pay certain amounts which are otherwise due to Owner
under this Agreement to the Mortgagee or its designee (rather than to Owner),
Owner hereby gives its consent to such provisions, which consent shall be deemed
to be irrevocable until the entire debt secured by the Mortgage has been
discharged.
C. Prior to encumbering the Inn or the Site with any Mortgage, Owner shall
be obligated to obtain from the proposed Mortgagee an executed, recordable
Subordination Agreement. Manager agrees to execute such Subordination Agreement
for the benefit of such proposed Mortgagee. If Owner encumbers the Inn or the
Site with a Mortgage without first obtaining such a Subordination Agreement froI
the Mortgagee: (i) it shall be a Default If Iwner under this Agreement,
entitling Manager to all of the remedies set forth in Article IX; and (ii) in
addition, Manager shall thereafter have a continuing right to terminate this
Agreement upon sixty (60) days' prior written notice to Owner. In addition, any
Mortgage described in the preceding sentence shall be subject and subordinate to
Manager's rights under this Agreement.
D. Notwithstanding the subordination of this Agreement which is described
in Section 8.03.A.1., if, in connection with the exercise by any Mortgagee of
its remedies under any Mortgage, there is a material adverse impact upon the
operation of the Inn by Manager in accordance with the System Standards, the
foregoing shall be deemed to be an Event of Default by Owner entitling Manager
to all of the remedies set forth in Article IX.
8.04 No Covenants, Conditions or Restrictions
A. Owner covenants that, as of the Effective Date and during the Term,
there will not be (unless Manager has given its prior consent thereto) any
covenants, conditions or restrictions, including reciprocal easement agreements
or cost-sharing arrangements (individually or collectively referred to as
"CC&R(s)") affecting the Site or the Inn which: (i) would prohibit or limit
Manager from operating the Inn in accordance with the System Standards; (ii)
would allow the Inn facilities (for example, parking spaces) to be used by
persons other than guests, invitees or employees of the Inn; (iii) would allow
the Inn facilities to be used for specified charges or rates which have not been
approved by Manager; or (iv) would subject the Inn to exclusive arrangements
regarding food and beverage operation or retail merchandise.
B. Unless otherwise agreed by both Owner and Manager, all financial
obligations imposed on Owner or on the Inn pursuant to any CC&Rs hereafter
affecting the Inn shall be paid by Owner from its own funds, and not from Gross
Revenues or from the Reserve. Manager's consent to any such CC&R shall be
conditioned (among other things) on satisfactory evidence that: (i) the CC&R in
question provides a reasonable and cost-effective benefit to the operation of
the Inn; (ii) the costs incurred (including administrative expenses) pursuant to
such CC&R will be both reasonable and allocated to the Inn on a reasonable
basis; and (iii) no capital
23
expenditures incurred pursuant to said CC&R will be paid from Gross Revenues or
from the Reserve (but rather, such capital expenditures will be paid separately
by Owner).
8.05 Liens; Credit
Manager and Owner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any
liens from being filed against the Inn which arise from any maintenance,
repairs, alterations, improvements, renewals or replacements in or to the Inn,
and shall cooperate fully in obtaining the release of any such liens. If the
lien was not occasioned by the fault of either party, the cost of releasing any
lien shall be treated the same as the cost of the matter to which it relates. 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. In no event shall
either party borrow money in the name of or pledge the credit of the other.

26
C. In the event either party consents to an assignment of this Agreement by
the other, no further assignment shall be made without the express consent in
writing of such party, unless such assignment may otherwise be made without such
consent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. An assignment by either Owner
or Manager of its interest in this Agreement shall not relieve Owner or Manager,
as the case may be, from its respective obligations under this Agreement, and
shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, its respective successors,
heirs, legal representatives, or assigns.
10.02 Sale of the Inn
A. Neither Owner nor Landlord shall enter into any Sale of the Inn to any
Person (or any Affiliate of any Person) who (1) does not, in Manager's
reasonable judgment, have sufficient financial resources to fulfill Owner's
obligations under this Agreement; (2) is known in the community as being of bad
moral character, or has been convicted of a felony in any state or federal
court, or is in control of or controlled by Persons who have been convicted of
felonies in any state or federal court; (3) either directly or indirectly, has
an ownership interest (other than the ownership of not more than five percent
(5%) of the outstanding common stock of any publicly-held company) in a brand of
hotels totaling at least twenty (20) hotels, or in a group of hotels totaling at
least twenty (20) hotels that are not affiliated with a brand but that are
marketed and operated as a collective group, if such brand or group of hotels
competes with Manager, Marriott or any Affiliate thereof; or (4) such Person or
any of its Affiliates is a Specially Designated National or Blocked Person. An
individual or entity shall not be deemed to be in the business of operating
hotels or other lodging facilities in competition with Manager, Marriott or any
Affiliate solely by virtue of (x) the ownership of such hotels or other lodging
facilities, either directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, affiliates and
partnerships, or (y) holding a mortgage or mortgages secured by one or more
hotels or other lodging facilities. Furthermore, Owner shall not enter into a
Sale of the Inn if Owner is at the time in Default under the terms of this
Agreement.
B. If Owner or Landlord decides to sell or lease the Inn to a third party,
then prior to offering the Inn for sale or lease or negotiating a Sale of the
Inn with any third party, Owner and Landlord will give Manager notice of such
decision ("Notice of Intent to Sell"), "nd Owner and Landlord, a" applicable,
and Manager will, during the period of thirty (30) days after such notice,
attempt in good faith to negotiate a mutually satisfactory agreement for the
purchase of the Inn. For purposes of this Section 10.02.B., a sale to a third
party shall not include any transfer, sale or assignment to a Mortgagee nor to a
sale at Foreclosure under a Mortgage. If, after the expiration of thirty (30)
days following the date of Owner's notice of its desire to sell or lease the
Inn, Owner, Landlord and Manager have not entered into a mutually acceptable
agreement for the purchase or lease of the Inn, Owner or Landlord shall be free,
subject to the conditions of this Section 10.02, to sell or lease the Inn to a
third party provided; (i) the Inn is to be sold or leased in conjunction with
other hotels not operated by Manager or its Affiliates, or other hotels operated
by Manager or it Affiliates but for which Manager or such Affiliates do not have
a right of first negotiation as described in this Section 10.02.B; or (ii) the
Inn is sold as a single asset or is sold in conjunction with other hotels
operated by Manager or its Affiliates for which Manager or such Affiliates have
a right of first negotiation as described in this Section 10.02.B, and the
27
price or rental for the Inn to such third party has not been reduced by more
than five percent (5%) of the price or rental which Owner or Landlord offered to
sell or rent the Inn to Manager. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any sale or
lease shall be subject to the following further conditions:
1. Owner and Landlord shall deliver a written notice (the "Notice of
Proposed Sale") (which Notice of Proposed Sale may be given concurrently with
the Notice of Intent to Sell), of the proposed Sale of the Inn to Manager
stating: (i) the name of the prospective purchaser or tenant, as the case may
be; (ii) the price or rental; and (iii) the terms and conditions of such
proposed Sale of the Inn, together with all other information reasonably
requested by Manager.
2. Within thirty (30) days after the date of receipt of such Notice of
Proposed Sale from Owner and such other information, if Manager and Landlord or
Owner have not entered into a mutually acceptable agreement for the purchase or
lease of the Inn, Manager shall elect, by written notice to Owner and Landlord,
one of the following two (2) alternatives:
a. To consent to such Sale of the Inn and to the assignment of
this Agreement to such purchaser or tenant, provided that concurrently with the
closing thereof, the purchaser or tenant, as the case may be, shall, by
appropriate instrument in form satisfactory to Manager, assume all of Owner's
obligations under this Agreement. An executed original of such assumption
agreement shall be delivered to Manager; or
b. To not consent to such proposed Sale of the Inn, based upon
such Sale of the Inn not being in compliance with Section 10.02.A. above,
specifying in reasonable detail the reasons for such decision, in which event
such Sale of the Inn shall not be permitted hereunder and it shall be an Event
of Default for Owner to proceed with such Sale of the Inn.
C. If Manager shall fail to elect one of the alternatives set forth in
Section 10.02.B.2. above, within said thirty (30) day period, such failure shall
be deemed to constitute an election to consent under Section 10.02.B.2.a. above,
and the provisions thereof shall prevail as if Manager had consented in writing
thereto. Any proposed Sale of the Inn with respect to which a Notice of Proposed
Sale has been delivered by Owner to Manager hereunder must be finalized within
one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of Manager's written notice in
response to such Notice of Proposed Sale. Failing such finalization, such Notice
of Proposed Sale, and any response thereto given by Manager, shall be null and
void and all of the provisions of Section 10.02.B. and Section 10.02.C. must
again be complied with before Owner or Landlord, as applicable, shall have the
right to finalize a Sale of the Inn upon the terms contained in said Notice of
Proposed Sale, or otherwise.
D. If Manager consents (or is deemed to have consented) to the proposed
Sale of the Inn, then Manager shall have the option to require (in lieu of
receipt of the assumption agreement described in Section 10.02.B.2.a.) that such
purchaser or tenant enter into a new management agreement with Manager, which
new management agreement will be on all of the terms and conditions of this
Agreement except that the Initial Term and Renewal Term(s) of any such new
28
agreement shall consist only of the balance of the Initial Term and Renewal
Term(s) remaining under this Agreement at the time of execution of any such new
management agreement. Such new management agreement shall be executed by Manager
and such new owner at the time of closing of the Sale of the Inn, and a
memorandum of such new management agreement shall be executed by the parties and
recorded immediately following recording of the deed or memorandum of lease (or
assignment) and prior to recordation of any other documents.
E. Each party hereby represents and warrants to the other that neither such
party nor any of its Affiliates is a Specially Designated National or Blocked
Person. Owner hereby represents and warrants to Manager that its equity is
directly and (if applicable) indirectly owned as shown on Exhibit B. In
connection with the possibility of a Sale of the Inn achieved by means of a
transfer of the controlling interest in Owner or Landlord, Owner shall, from
time to time, within thirty (30) days after written request by Manager, furnish
Manager with a list of the names and addresses of the direct and indirect owners
of capital stock, partnership interest, or other proprietary interest of Owner
and Landlord, provided that Owner and Landlord shall not be required to provide
the names and addresses of shareholders of a public company.
F. It is understood that no Sale of the Inn shall reduce, require any
increase or otherwise affect: (i) the current level of Working Capital; (ii) the
outstanding balance deposited in the Reserve; (iii) the outstanding balance in
any of the Operating Accounts maintained by Manager pursuant to this Agreement;
or (iv) Owner's Priority. If, in connection with any Sale of the Inn, the
selling Owner intends to withdraw, for its own use, any of the cash deposits
described in the preceding sentence, the selling Owner must obtain the
contractual obligation of the buying Owner to replenish those deposits (in the
identical amounts) simultaneously with such withdrawal. The selling Owner is
hereby contractually obligated to Manager to ensure that such replenishment in
fact occurs. The obligations described in this Section 10.02.F. shall survive
such Sale of the Inn and shall survive Termination.
G. The terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon all
successors to Owner's and Landlord's interest in the Site and/or the Inn. Each
selling Owner shall be obligated to Manager to obtain from each buying Owner an
assumption (reasonably satisfactory to Manager) of this Agreement.
H. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Manager shall have the right
(without prejudice to its rights to declare an Event of Default and seek damages
or other compensation) to terminate this Agreement, on thirty (30) days' written
notice, if title to or possession of the Inn is transferred by judicial or
administrative process (including, without limitation, a Foreclosure, or a sale
pursuant to an order of a bankruptcy court, or a sale by a court-appointed
receiver) to an individual or entity which would not qualify as a permitted
transferee under Section 10.02.A., regardless of whether or not such transfer is
the voluntary action of the transferring Owner, or whether (under applicable
law) the Owner is in fact the transferor.

11.08 Environmental Matters
A. Except as otherwise disclosed in that certain Phase I Environmental Site
Assessment Report dated February 25, 2000 prepared for Manager by ▇▇▇▇▇
International Incorporated, Owner hereby represents and warrants to Manager
that, to Owner's actual knowledge, as of the Effective Date, there are no
Hazardous Materials (as defined below) on any portion of the Site or the Inn,
nor have any Hazardous Materials been released or discharged on any portion of
the Site or the Inn. In addition, Owner hereby represents and warrants that it
has previously delivered to Manager copies of all reports concerning
environmental conditions which have been received by Owner or any of its
Affiliates. In the event of the discovery of Hazardous Materials on any portion
of the Site or in the Inn during the Term, Owner shall promptly remove such
Hazardous Materials, together with all contaminated soil and containers, and
shall otherwise remedy the problem in accordance with (1) the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601
et seq., as amended; (2) the regulations promulgated thereunder, from time to
time; (3) all federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations (now or
hereafter in effect) dealing with the use, generation, treatment, storage,
disposal or abatement of Hazardous Materials; and (4) the regulations
promulgated thereunder, from time to time (collectively referred to as
"Environmental Laws"). Owner shall indemnify, defend and hold Manager harmless
from and against all loss, costs, liability and damage (including, without
limitation, engineers' and attorneys' fees and expenses, and the cost of
Litigation) to the extent arising from the presence of Hazardous Materials on
the Site or in the Inn; and this obligation of Owner shall survive Termination.
"Hazardous Materials" shall mean and include any substance or material
containing one or more of any of the following: "hazardous material," "hazardous
waste," "hazardous substance," "regulated substance," "petroleum," "pollutant,"
"contaminant," "polychlorinated biphenyls," "lead or lead-based paint" or
"asbestos" as such terms are defined in any applicable Environmental Law in such
concentration(s) or amount(s) as may impose clean-up, removal, monitoring or
other responsibility under the Environmental Laws, as the same may be amended
from time to time, or which may present a significant risk of harm to guests,
invitees or employees of the Inn.
32
B. All costs and expenses of the aforesaid removal of Hazardous Materials
from the Site or the Inn, and of the aforesaid compliance with all Environmental
Laws, and any amounts paid to Manager pursuant to the indemnity set forth in
Section 11.08.A. (collectively, the "Environmental Costs"), shall be paid by
Owner from its own funds, and not from Gross Revenues or from the Reserve. If
the Environmental Costs exceed the combined Operating Profit for the two full
Fiscal Years immediately preceding the Fiscal Year(s) in which such
Environmental Costs are incurred, Owner shall provide written notice to Manager
thereof, and Manager shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of such notice to
elect by written notice to Owner to either (i) terminate this Agreement in which
event this Agreement shall terminate on the date that is sixty (60) days after
Owner's receipt of such written te'mination notice from Manager; or (ii)
increase Owner's Priority by an amount equal to twelve percent (12%) of such
Environmental Costs. If Manager does not provide notice of its election to
Owner, Manager shall be deemed to have elected to increase Owner's Priority in
accordance wit' Section 11.08.B(ii). If Manager elects, or is deemed to have
elected, to increase Owner's Priority in accordance with Section 11.08.B(ii),
such increase shall be effective upon (and to the extent of) the payment of such
Environmental Costs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
Environmental Costs shall not be added to Owner's Priority for purposes of
calculating the Performance Termination Threshold. Any dispute with respect to
such Environmental Costs shall be referred to the Expert as provided in Section
11.21.
11.09 Confidentiality
Owner and Manager agree that the terms of this Agreement are strictly
confidential and will use their reasonable efforts to ensure that such matters
and information are not disclosed to any outside person or entities without the
prior written consent of the other party, except (1) as required by any law,
rule, regulation or judicial process, or by any regulatory or supervisory
authority having jurisdiction over the parties or their Affiliates or, (2) to
the extent necessary, (i) to obtain licenses, permits and other public
approvals, (ii) in connection with a financing of the Inn, Owner, Landlord or
any Affiliate thereof, (iii) in connection with a Sale of the Inn or other sale
of Owner, Landlord or any Affiliate thereof or its or their corporate assets,

Affiliate thereof or its or their corporate assets, or (v) subject to the
provisions of Section 4.02, in connection with an audit or other investigation
conducted pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything
to the contrary set forth herein, the terms of this Agreement shall not be
deemed confidential to the extent: (a) such information becomes generally
available to the public other than as a result of unauthorized disclosure by the
recipient or persons to whom such recipient has made the information available;

recipient on a non-confidential basis, prior to receipt from the other party,
from a third party lawfully possessing and lawfully entitled to disclose such
information; (c) such confidential information consists of aggregated historical
financial information for the inns in Owner's portfolio; and (d) the party

11.10 Projections
Owner acknowledges that any written or oral projections, pro formas, or
other similar information that has been (prior to execution of this Agreement)
or will (during the Term) be provided by Manager or Marriott (or any Affiliate
of either) to Owner is for information purposes only, and that Manager,
Marriott, and any such Affiliate do not guarantee that the Inn will achieve the
results set forth in any such projections, pro formas, or other similar
information. Owner further acknowledges that any such projections, pro formas,
or other similar information are based on assumptions and estimates,
unanticipated events may occur subsequent to the date of preparation of such
projections, pro formas, and other similar information, and the actual results
achieved by the Inn are likely to vary from the estimates contained in any such
projections, pro formas, or other similar information and such variations might
be material.
11.11 Actions to be Taken Upon Termination
Upon a Termination, the following shall be applicable:
A. Manager shall, within ninety (90) days after Termination, prepare and
deliver to Owner a final accounting statement with respect to the Inn, as more
particularly described in Section 4.01 hereof, along with a statement of any
sums due from Owner to Manager pursuant hereto, dated as of the date of
Termination. Within thirty (30) days of the receipt by Owner of such final
accounting statement, the parties will make whatever cash adjustments are
necessary pursuant to such final statement. The cost of preparing such final
accounting statement shall be a Deduction, unless the Termination occurs as a
result of a Default by either party, in which case the defaulting party shall
pay such cost. Manager and Owner acknowledge that there may be certain
adjustments for which the information will not be available at the time of the
final accounting and the parties agree to readjust such amounts and make the
necessary cash adjustments when such information becomes available; provided,
however, that all accounts shall be deemed final two (2) years after
Termination.
B. Manager shall release and transfer to Owner any of Owner's funds which
are held or controlled by Manager with respect to the Inn with the exception of
funds to be held in accordance with Section 6.04.B. and Section 11.11.G. and
otherwise in accordance herewith.
C. Manager shall make available to Owner such books and records respecting
the Inn (including those from prior years, subject to Manager's reasonable
records retention policies) as will be needed by Owner to prepare the accounting
statements, in accordance with the Uniform System of Accounts, for the Inn for
the year in which the Termination occurs and for any subsequent year.
D. Manager shall (to the extent permitted by law) assign to Owner or to the
new manager all operating licenses and permits for the Inn which have been
issued in Manager's name (including liquor and restaurant licenses, if any);
provided that if Manager has expended any of its own funds in the acquisition of
any of such licenses or permits, Owner shall reimburse Manager therefor if it
has not done s [ ] hereforey.
34
E. Manager shall have the option, to be exercised within thirty (30) days
after Termination, to purchase, at their then Iook value, aIy items of the Inn's
InveItories and Fixed Asset Supplies as may be marked with any Marriott
Trademarks. Upon Termination, all use of or right to use the Marriott Trademarks
at or in connection with the Inn shall cease forthwith, and Owner shall (i)
immediately, as of the date of such Termination, place coverings over any signs
or similar identification which contain any of the Marriott Trademarks, or shall
otherwise render such signs or other similar identification not visible to the
public; (ii) remove any such signs or similar identification from the Inn by no
later than ten (10) days after the date of Termination; and (iii) no later than
ten (10) days after the date of such Termination, remove from the Inn all Fixed
Asset Supplies, Inventories and other items bearing any Marriott Trademark or
remove all Marriott Trademarks from such items. If Owner has not removed such
signs or other items bearing Marriott Trademarks within ten (10) days after
Termination, Manager shall have the right to do so at Owner's expense; and if
Owner fails to reimburse Manager for such expense within ten (10) days after
receipt of written notice thereof from Manager to Owner, then Manager shall have
the right (without affecting Manager's other remedies under this Agreement) to
withdraw the amount of such expenses from the Operating Accounts, the Reserve,
or any other funds of Owner held by or under the control of Manager. Manager
shall have the right to seek injunctive or other relief in a court of competent
jurisdiction to enforce the foregoing provisions, and if such enforcement shall
be necessary, Owner shall bear all of Manager's costs of such enforcement,
including attorneys' fees.
F. All Software used at the Inn which is owned by any of the Marriott
Companies (or any Affiliates thereof) or the licensor of any of them is
proprietary to such Marriott Company (or such Affiliate) or the licensor of any
of them, and shall in all events remain the exclusive property of such Marriott
Company (or such Affiliate) or the licensor of any of them, as the case may be,
and nothing contained in this Agreement shall confer on Owner the right to use
any of such Software. Manager shall have the right to remove from the Inn
without compensation to Owner any Software (including upgrades and
replacements). Furthermore, upon Termination, notwithstanding Section 5.04
hereof, Manager shall be entitled to remove from the Inn any computer equipment
which is: (i) owned by a party other than Owner (without reimbursement to
Owner); or (ii) owned by Owner, but utilized as part of a centralized
reservation or property management system (with reimbursement to Owner of all
previous expenditures made by Owner with respect to such equipment, subject to a
reasonable allowance for depreciation). Manager shall provide Owner hard copies
(or to the extent technologically feasible, the electronic transfer) of guest
information contained on such Software, sufficient to allow Owner to service
existing guests of the Inn as of the Termination date and bookings (including
group and transient business) on dates following the Termination of this
Agreement.
G. If this Agreement is terminated for any reason, other than a Termination
by reason of an Event of Default of Manager hereunder, a reasonable reserve
shall be established from Gross Revenues to reimburse Manager for all costs and
expenses incurred by Manager in terminating its employees at the Inn, such as
severance pay, unemployment compensation, employment relocation, and other
employee liability costs arising out of the termination of employment of
Manager's employees at the Inn. If Gross Revenues are insufficient to meet the
35
requirements of such reserve, then Owner shall deliver to Manager, within ten
(10) days after receipt of Manager's written request therefor, the sums
necessary [ ] hereforelish such reserve; and if Owner fails to timely deliver
such sums to Manager, Manager shall have the right (without affecting Manager's
other remedies under this Agreement) to withdraw the amount of such expenses
from the Operating Accounts, the Reserve, or any other funds of Owner held by or
under the control of Manager.
H. Other than in connection with a Termination by reason of an Event of
Default of Manager hereunder, Owner shall cause the entity which shall succeed
Manager as the operator of the Inn to hire a sufficient number of the employees
at the Inn to avoid the occurrence, in connection with such Termination, of a
"closing" under the WARN Act.
I. Various other actions shall be taken, as described in this Agreement,
including, but not limited to, the actions described in Section 4.05 and Section
6.04.▇.
▇. Manager shall peacefully vacate and surrender the Inn to Owner.
The provisions of this Section 11.11 shall survive Termination.
11.12 Trademarks and Intellectual Property
A. During the Term, the Inn shall be known as a "Residence Inn by Marriott"
or a "Marriott Residence Inn," with such alternative identification determined
by Manager from time to time as may be necessary to provide local or specific
geographic definition to the name of the Inn. However, if the name of the
Residence Inn by Marriott system of hotels is changed, Manager will have the
right to change the name of the Inn to conform thereto.
B. Owner acknowledges that Manager and its Affiliates are the sole and
exclusive owners of all rights, title and interest to the Marriott Trademarks,
which shall in all events remain the exclusive property of Manager (or one of
its Affiliates). All use of the Marriott Trademarks at or in connection with the
Inn, or as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, shall be made solely by and
inure solely to the benefit of Manager and its Affiliates. Nothing in this
Agreement shall be construed to grant Owner any right of ownership in or right
to use or license others to use the Marriott Trademarks. Except for disclosure
to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements, Owner may not use the
Marriott Trademarks without the prior written consent of Manager, which may be
withheld in Manager's sole and absolute discretion, in any manner whatsoever,
including, without limitation, the following:
1. No reference to Manager, any Affiliate of Manager, or any Marriott
Trademark will be made in any prospectus, private placement memorandum, offering
circular or offering documentation related thereto (collectively referred to as
the "Prospectus"), issued by Owner or by one of Owner's Affiliates or by one or
more Mortgagees, which is designed to interest potential investors in debt or
equity securities related to the Inn, unless Manager has given its prior written
approval to each such reference, which Manager may withhold in its sole and
absolute discretion. However, regardless of whether Manager has approved all
such
36
references, neither Manager nor any Affiliate of Manager will be deemed a
sponsor of the offering described in the Prospectus, nor will it have any
responsibility for the Prospectus, and the Prospectus will so state. Owner shall
indemnify, defend and hold Manager harmless from and against all loss, costs,
liability and damage (including attorneys' fees and expenses, and the cost of
Litigation) arising out of any Prospectus or the offering described therein.
2. No reference to Manager, any Affiliate of Manager, or any Marriott
Trademark will be made in any material prepared for the purpose of a Sale of the
Inn, unless Manager has given its prior written approval to each such reference.
3. No Trade Name adopted by Owner or its Affiliates may include any
Marriott Trademark or a term that is confusingly similar to a Marriott
Trademark. Owner shall not apply for registration of any Marriott Trademark in
any jurisdiction.
C. All right, title and interest (including copyright and patent rights) to
Intellectual Property shall at all times be the exclusive property of Manager
(or any other Marriott Company). Neither Manager nor any other Marriott Company
shall be restricted in disclosing or using any Intellectual Property directly or
indirectly by this Agreement, and Manager shall have the right to use it for any
purpose. Owner shall not have any rights to any Intellectual Property, shall
treat as confidential any Intellectual Property in its possession, and shall not
disclose to any third party any Intellectual Property or use any Intellectual
Property for any purpose whatsoever. Upon Termination, all Intellectual Property
sIall be removed from the Inn by Manager, without compensation to Owner, subject
to the provisions of Section 11.11.E. regarding Marriott Trademarks.
D. Manager and/or its Affiliates shall be entitled, in case of any breach
by Owner of any of the covenants of this Section 11.12, to injunctive relief and
to any other right or remedy available at law or in equity.
E. The provisions of this Section 11.12 shall survive Termination.
11.13 Waiver
The failure of either party to insist upon a strict performance of any of
the terms or provisions of this Agreement, or to exercise any option, right or
remedy contained in this Agreement, shall not be construed as a waiver or as a
relinquishment for the future of such term, provision, option, right or remedy,
but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect. No waiver by
either party of any term or provision hereof shall be deemed to have been made
unless expressed in writing and signed by such party.
11.14 Partial Invalidity
If any portion of any term or provision of this Agreement, or the
application thereof to any person or circumstance shall be invalid or
unenforceable, at any time or to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement, or
the application of such term or provision to persons or
37
circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable,
shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Agreement
shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
11.15 Survival
Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, the rights and
obligations of the parties herein shall not survive any Termination.
11.16 Negotiation of Agreement
Owner and Manager are both business entities having substantial experience
with the subject matter of this Agreement, and each has fully participated in
the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. Accordingly, this Agreement
shall be construed without regard to the rule that ambiguities in a document are
to be construed against the draftsman. No inferences shall be drawn from the
fact that the final, duly executed Agreement differs in any respect from any
previous draft hereof.
11.17 Intentionally Deleted
11.18 Estoppel Certificates
Each party to this Agreement shall at any time and from time to time, upon
not less than fifteen (15) days' prior notice from the other party, execute,
acknowledge and deliver to such other party, or to any third party specified by
such other party, a statement in writing: (a) certifying that this Agreement is
unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications,
that the same, as modified, is in full force and effect and stating the
modifications); and (b) stating to the best knowledge of the certifying party
(i) whether or not there is a continuing Default or Event of Default by the
non-certifying party in the performance or observance of any covenant, agreement
or condition contained in this Agreement, (ii) whether or not there shall have
occurred any event which, with the giving of notice or passage of time or both,
would become a Default or Event of Default, and, if so, specifying each such
Default or Event of Default or occurrence of which the certifying party may have
knowledge; (iii) the amount, if any, of the Additional Capital Investment; (iv)
the amount, if any, of any past due fees or other past due amounts owed to
Manager; and (v) whether or not there are any past due and unpaid obligations
with respect to the Inn, other than in the ordinary course of business. Such
statement shall be binding upon the certifying party and may be relied upon by
the non-certifying party and/or such third party specified by the non-certifying
party as aforesaid. In addition, upon written request after a Termination, each
party agrees to execute and deliver to the non-certifying party and to any such
third party a statement certifying that this Agreement has been terminated.
11.19 Affiliates
Manager shall be entitled to contract with companies that are Affiliates
(or companies in which Manager has an ownership interest if such interest is not
sufficient to make such a
38
company an Affiliate) to provide goods and/or serIices to the Inn; provIded that
the prices and/or terms for such goods and/or services are competitive.
Additionally, Manager may contract for the purchase of goods and services for
the Inn with third parties that have other contractual relationships with
Manager, Marriott and their Affiliates, so long as the prices and terms are
competitive. In determining, pursuant to the foregoing, whether such prices
and/or terms are competitive, they will be compared to the prices and/or terms
which would be available to Owner from reputable and qualified parties for goods
and/or services of similar quality, and the goods and/or services which are
being purchased shall be grouped in reasonable categories, rather than being
compared item by item. Any dispute as to whether prices and/or terms are
competitive shall be referred to the Expert as provided in Section 11.21. The
prices paid may include overhead and the allowance of a reasonable return to
Manager's Affiliates (or companies in which Manager has an ownership interest if
such interest is not sufficient to make such a company an Affiliate). Owner
acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to any purchases of goods or services
pursuant to this Section 11.19 and subject to the foregoing qualification that
prices and/or terms are competitive, Manager's Affiliates may retain for their
own benefit any allowances, credits, rebates, commissions and discounts received
with respect to any such purchases.
11.20 Competing Facilities
A. Neither Manager nor any of its Affiliates shall open for business, or
permit any other person to open for business, any Restricted Hotel within the
Restricted Area during the period from the Effective Date to the fifth (5th)
anniversary of the Effective Date.
39
B. Except as set forth in Section 11.20.A, neither this Agreement nor
anything implied by the relationship between Manager and Owner shall prohibit
any of the Marriott Companies from constructing, operating, promoting, and/or
authorizing others to construct, operate, or promote one or more Marriott
Hotels, Marriott Resorts, Marriott Suites Hotels, ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Hotels, Bvlgari
Hotels, Renaissance Hotels, Renaissance Suites, Conference Centers by Marriott,
Residence Inn by Marriott Hotels, Courtyard by Marriott Hotels, Fairfield Inns,
Fairfield Suites, Marriott Vacation Club International, TownePlace Suites by
Marriott, SpringHill Suites by Marriott, or any other lodging concepts,
time-share facilities, restaurants, or other business operations of any type, at
any location, including a location proximate to the Site. Owner acknowledges,
accepts and agrees further that the Marriott Companies retain the right, from
time to time, to construct or operate, or both, or promote or acquire, or
authorize or otherwise license others to construct or operate, or both, or
promote or acquire any hotels, lodging concepts or products, restaurants or
other business operations of any type whatsoever, including, but not by way of
limitation, those listed above, at any location including one or more sites
which may be adjacent, adjoining or proximate to the Site, which business
operations may be in direct competition with the Inn and that any such exercise
may adversely affect the operation of the Inn.
11.21 Expert Decisions
Where this Agreement calls for a matter to be referred to an Expert for
determination, the following provisions shall apply:
A. The use of the Expert shall be the exclusive remedy of the parties and
neither party shall attempt to adjudicate any dispute in any other forum. The
decision of the Expert shall be final and binding on the parties and shall not
be capable of challenge, whether by arbitration, in court or otherwise;
B. Each party shall be entitled to make written submissions to the Expert,
and if a party makes any submission it shall also provide a copy to the other
party and the other party shall have the right to comment on such submission.
The parties shall make available to the Expert all books and records relating to
the issue in dispute and shall render to the Expert any assistance requested of
the parties. The costs of the Expert and the proceedings shall be borne as
directed by the Expert unless otherwise provided for herein. The Expert may
direct that such costs be treated as Deductions;
C. The Expert shall make its decision with respect to the matter referred
for determination by applying the standards applicable to first-class hotels in
accordance with the System Standards (including compliance with the requirements
of any quality assurance program) and determining whether the matter at issue is
necessary to satisfy such standards; and
D. The terms of engagement of the Expert shall include an obligation on the
part of the Expert to: (i) notify the parties in writing of his decision within
forty-five (45) days from the date on which the Expert has been selected (or
such other period as the parties may agree or as set forth herein); and (ii)
establish a timetable for the making of submissions and replies.
40
11.22 Restrictions on Operating the Inn in Accordance with System Standards
In the event of either (i) a Legal Requirement, including an order,
judgment or directive by a court or administrative body which is issued in
connection with any Litigation involving Owner, or (ii) any action taken by a
Mortgagee in connection with a Foreclosure, which in either case restricts or
prevents Manager, in a material and adverse manner, from operating the Inn in
accordance with System Standards (including without limitation, any restrictions
on expenditures by Manager from the Operating Accounts or from the Reserve,
other than restrictions which are set forth in this Agreement), Manager shall be
entitled, at its option, to terminate this Agreement upon sixty (60) days'
written notice to Owner. The foregoing shall not reduce or otherwise affect the
rights of the parties under Article IX.
11.23 Waiver of Jury Trial and Consequential and Punitive Damages
Owner and Manager each hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally
waive trial by jury and the right to claim or receive consequential, incidental,
special or punitive damages in any litigation, action, claim, suit or
proceeding, at law or in equity, arising out of, pertaining to or in any way
associated with the covenants, undertakings, representations or warranties set
forth herein, the relationships of the parties hereto, whether as "Owner" or
"Manager" or otherwise, this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or
document entered into in connection herewith, or any actions or omissions in
connection with any of the foregoing.
11.24 Counterparts
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which shall constitute one and the
same instrument. Such executed counterparts may be delivered by facsimile which,
upon transmission to the other party, shall have the same force and effect as
delivery of the original signed counterpart. The submission of an unsigned copy
of this Agreement or an electronic instrument with or without electronic
signature to either party shall not constitute an offer or acceptance. This
Agreement shall become effective and binding only upon execution and delivery of
this Agreement in non-electronic form by both parties in accordance with this
Section 11.24.
41
11.25 Extraordinary Events
If either O"ner's or "a"ager's failure to co'form to, kee', perform,
fulfill, or satisfy any representation, warranty, covenant, undertaking,
obligation, standard, test, or condition set forth in this Agreement, other than
an obligation to make monetary payments or provide monetary funding, is caused
in whole or in part by one or more Extraordinary Events, such failure shall not
constitute an Event of Default or Default under this Agreement, and such failure
shall be excused for as long as the failure is caused in whole or in part by
such Extraordinary Event(s). In order to have any such failure excused pursuant
to this Section, the party claiming that an Extraordinary Event caused such
failure must notify the other party in writing within ninety (90) days after the
Extraordinary Event first begins to affect its performance.
11.26 Entire Agreement
This Agreement, together with any other writings signed by the parties
expressly stated to be supplemental hereto (including, without limitation, the
Owner Agreement) and together with any instruments to be executed and delivered
pursuant to this Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties
and supersedes all prior understandings and writings, and may be changed only by
a written non-electronic instrument that has been duly executed by the
non-electronic (which shall not be deemed to exclude facsimile) signature of an
authorized representative of the parties hereto.

"Base Management Fee" shall mean an amount payable to Manager as a
Deduction from Gross Revenues for Central Office Services, System Services and

determined to be more properly treated as Chain Services or if additional

benefit of inns in the "Residence Inn by Marriott" System, the Inn's allocable
share of such expenditures shall be treated as Deductions (over and above the
Deductions listed in paragraph 7 and paragraph 8 of the definition of
Deductions) and shall not be covered by the Base Management Fee. Conversely, if
there are expenditures that were (as of the Effective Date) listed in clause (i)

select another such nationally recognized consulting firm or individual to be
the Expert. Each party agrees that it shall not appoint an individual as an
Expert hereunder if the individual is, as of the date of appointment or within
six (6) months prior to such date, employed by such party or its Affiliates,
either directly or as a consultant, in connection with any other matter. In the
event that either party calls for an Expert determination pursuant to the terms
hereof, the parties shall have ten (10) days from the date of such request to

individual, and within ten (10) days of such respective selections, the two (2)
respective firms and/or individuals so selected shall select another such
nationally recognized consulting firm or individual to be the Expert. If either
party fails to make its respective selection of a firm or individual within the
ten (10) day period provided for above, then the other party's selection shall
be the Expert. Also, if the two (2) respective firms and/or individuals so
selected shall fail to select a third nationally recognized consulting firm or
individual to be the Expert, then such Expert shall be appointed by the American
Arbitration Association and shall be a qualified person having at least ten (10)
years recent professional experience as to the subject matter in question.

excluding, however, general economic and/or market conditions not caused by any
of the events described herein.
