ARTICLE I
IMPACT STUDY REQUIREMENTS
1.1 SOLICITATION OF IMPACT STUDY RELATING TO A NEW JQH FACILITY
(a) Owner, JDE and JQH agree that (i) the New JQH Facility proposed to be
developed as a Marriott Hotel to be located in North Charleston, South Carolina,
(ii) the New JQH Facility proposed to be developed as an Embassy Suites Hotel to
be located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, (iii) the New JQH Facility proposed to be
developed as a Residence Inn by Marriott to be located in Oklahoma City,
Oklahoma, and (iv) the New JQH Facility proposed to be developed as a Residence
Inn by Marriott to be located in Kansas City, Missouri are specifically excluded
from this Agreement. In all other instances, at least 60 days prior to entering
into any agreements in connection with the development or construction (but not
the acquisition) of any New JQH Facility, including any convention or banquet
facility, JQH or the applicable JQH Entity shall deliver written notice to LP or
II LP (the "JQH Notice"), as applicable, describing the location, type, number
of rooms, physical amenities and intended franchise designation of any New JQH
Facility proposed to be developed. Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the
JQH Notice, the applicable Owner shall (i) deliver written notice to JQH or the
applicable JQH Entity if Owner decides to commission from an unrelated
third-party provider experienced in the analysis of such matters an impact study
(an "Impact Study"), which will analyze the relevant market area and facts to
determine the effect such a proposed New JQH Facility would be expected to have
on the revenues and results of operations of any Owner Hotel, and (ii) if such
Impact Study is commissioned, contract with such third party provider for the
completion and delivery of such Impact Study in accordance herewith. In the
event that Owner does not (i) deliver such written notice, or (ii) subsequently
contract with such third party provider within such 15-day period, then Owner
shall be deemed to have waived such right, and JQH or the applicable JQH Entity
may proceed with the development or construction of such proposed New JQH
Facility. Owners and JQH or the applicable JQH Entity shall cooperate to ensure
that such Impact Study will be delivered within thirty (30) days after being
commissioned, and such Impact Study shall, in any event, be completed within
forty-five (45) days after being commissioned, subject to any delays (y) caused
by JQH or any JQH Entity, or (z) as a result of "force majeure" events outside
of the control of such provider or Owner.
(b) In the event the Impact Study indicates that the New JQH Facility
would have no impact, a positive impact or a negative impact quantified as less
than 2% of the annual gross revenues for the most recent full year of operation
of such Owner Hotel, on the revenues and operation of such Owner Hotel, then the
Owner of such Owner Hotel shall pay the costs of the
Impact Study, and JQH or the applicable JQH Entity shall have the right to
proceed with the development of such proposed New JQH Facility.
(c) In the event the Impact Study indicates that the New JQH Facility
would have a negative impact quantified as 2% or more of the annual gross
revenues for the most recent full year of operation of such Owner Hotel, on the
revenues and operation of such Owner Hotel, then JQH shall pay the costs of the
Impact Study, and either (i) Owner and the applicable JQH Entity shall enter
into a joint venture or other equity-sharing arrangement on mutually agreed
terms with respect to such proposed New JQH Facility, or (ii) the applicable JQH
Entity shall not proceed with the development of such proposed New JQH Facility.
1.2 SOLICITATION OF IMPACT STUDY RELATING TO A NEW OWNER FACILITY

with the development or construction (but not an acquisition) of any Owner
Developed Hotel, including any convention or banquet facility, the applicable

applicable JQH Entity (the "Owner Notice"), as applicable, describing the
location, type, number of rooms, physical amenities and intended franchise
designation of any Owner Developed Hotel proposed to be developed (a "New Owner
Facility"). Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Owner Notice, JQH or
the applicable JQH Entity shall (i) deliver written notice to JDE or the
applicable Owner if JQH or the applicable JQH Entity decides to commission an
Impact Study, which will analyze the relevant market area and facts to determine
the effect such a proposed New Owner Facility would be expected to have on the
revenues and results of operations of any JQH Hotel, and (ii) if such Impact
Study is commissioned, contract with such third party provider for the
completion and delivery of such Impact Study in accordance herewith. In the
event that JQH or the applicable JQH Entity does not (i) deliver such written
notice, or (ii) subsequently contract with such third party provider within such
15-day period, then JQH or the applicable JQH Entity shall be deemed to have
waived such right, and Owner may proceed with the development or construction of
such proposed New Owner Facility. Owners or JDE, as applicable, and JQH or the
applicable JQH Entity shall cooperate to ensure that such Impact Study will be
delivered within thirty (30) days after being commissioned, and such Impact
Study shall, in any event, be completed within forty-five (45) days after being
commissioned, subject to any delays (y) caused by JQH or any JQH Entity, or (z)
as a result of "force majeure" events outside of the control of such provider or
JQH or the applicable JQH Entity.
(b) In the event the Impact Study indicates that the New Owner Facility
would have no impact, a positive impact or a negative impact quantified as less
than 2% of the annual gross revenues for the most recent full year of operation
of such JQH Hotel, on the revenues and operation of such JQH Hotel, then JQH or
the JQH Entity which owns such JQH Hotel shall pay the costs of the Impact
Study, and the applicable Owner or JDE shall have the right to proceed with the
development of such proposed New Owner Facility.
(c) In the event the Impact Study indicates that the New Owner Facility
would have a negative impact quantified as 2% or more of the annual gross
revenues for the most recent full year of operation of such JQH Hotel, on the
revenues and operation of such JQH Hotel, then
Owner or JDE, as applicable shall pay the costs of the Impact Study, and either
(i) the applicable JQH Entity and Owner or JDE, as applicable, shall enter into
a joint venture or other equity-sharing arrangement on mutually agreed terms
with respect to such proposed New Owner Facility, or (ii) the applicable Owner
or JDE shall not proceed with the development of such proposed New Owner
Facility.

(a) At least 60 days prior to entering into any agreements in connection
with the development or construction (but not an acquisition) of any GP
Developed Hotel, including any convention or banquet facility, the GP shall
deliver written notice to LP and JQH (the "GP Notice"), describing the location,
type, number of rooms, physical amenities and intended franchise designation of
any GP Developed Hotel proposed to be developed (a "New GP Facility"). Within
fifteen (15) days after receipt of the GP Notice, LP or JQH shall (i) deliver
written notice to GP if LP or JQH decides to commission an Impact Study, which
will analyze the relevant market area and facts to determine the effect such a
proposed New GP Facility would be expected to have on the revenues and results
of operations of any Owner Hotel, and (ii) if such Impact Study is commissioned,
contract with such third party provider for the completion and delivery of such
Impact Study in accordance herewith. In the event that neither LP nor JQH (i)
delivers such written notice, or (ii) subsequently contracts with such third
party provider within such 15-day period, then LP and JQH shall be deemed to
have waived such right, and GP may proceed with the development or construction
of such proposed New GP Facility. LP, JQH and GP shall cooperate to ensure that
such Impact Study will be delivered within thirty (30) days after being
commissioned, and such Impact Study shall, in any event, be completed within
forty-five (45) days after being commissioned, subject to any delays (y) caused
by LP or JQH, or (z) as a result of "force majeure" events outside of the
control of such provider or LP or JQH.
(b) In the event the Impact Study indicates that the New GP Facility would
have no impact, a positive impact or a negative impact quantified as less than
2% of the annual gross revenues for the most recent full year of operation of
such Owner Hotel, on the revenues and operation of such Owner Hotel, then LP or
JQH shall pay the costs of the Impact Study, and GP shall have the right to
proceed with the development of such proposed New GP Facility.

equity-sharing arrangement on terms mutually agreed among GP, LP and JQH with
respect to such proposed New GP Facility, or (ii) the GP shall not proceed with
the development of such proposed New GP Facility.

2.9 Titles and Headings. Titles and headings to sections herein are
inserted for the convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part
of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. References to
"Sections" refer to Sections of this Agreement, unless otherwise stated.
2.10 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement or the
application thereof to any party hereto or set of circumstances shall, in any
jurisdiction and to any extent, be finally held to be invalid or unenforceable,
such term or provision shall only be ineffective as to such jurisdiction, and

or rendering unenforceable any other terms or provisions of this Agreement or
under any other circumstances, and the parties shall negotiate in good faith a
substitute provision which comes as close as possible to the invalidated or
unenforceable term or provision, and puts the parties in a position as nearly
comparable as possible to the position they would have been in but for such
finding of invalidity or unenforceability, while remaining valid and
enforceable.
2.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts,
each of which shall be considered an original, but all of which together shall
constitute one and the same instrument.
2.12 Remedies Including Injunction and Specific Performance. In the event
that any of any JQH Entity or JQH or any Owner or JDE shall default in the
performance of any of its respective obligations hereunder in any material
respect, then the other party hereto shall have the right (i) to seek specific
performance or injunctive relief from any court of competent jurisdiction to
enforce Owner's or any JQH Entity's respective rights under this Agreement, as
the case may be, and (ii) to payment by the nonprevailing party of any and all
attorneys' fees and costs, including any court costs and costs of any
consultants incurred by such Owner, JDE or JQH Entity or JQH, as the case may
be, which is the prevailing party in any action, negotiation or proceeding to
enforce such party's rights under this Agreement.
2.13 Confidentiality. Except as otherwise required by law or judicial
order or decree or by any governmental authority, each Owner, JDE, JQH and each
JQH Entity shall maintain the confidentiality of all nonpublic information
delivered in a JQH Notice or an Owner Notice and corresponding Impact Study, as

such nonpublic information may be disclosed to attorneys, consultants, officers,
directors, members or agents of each Owner, JDE, JQH and JQH Entity, to the
extent deemed necessary by each such Owner, JDE, JQH and JQH Entity, subject to
such attorneys', consultants', officers', directors', members' or agents'
maintaining the confidentiality of such information as set forth herein.

policies of the controlled entity.
(b) "Person" means any individual, corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, unincorporated organization, other entity or governmental body,
in each case whether in such individual's or entity's own capacity or as an
