----

----
America which shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts,
without offset, abatement, demand or deduction (unless otherwise expressly
provided in this Agreement), Minimum Rent and Additional Rent to Landlord and
Additional Charges to the party to whom such Additional Charges are payable,
during the Term. All payments to Landlord shall be made by wire transfer of
immediately available federal funds or by other means acceptable to Landlord in
its sole discretion. Rent for any partial Accounting Period shall be prorated on
a per diem basis.
3.1.1 Minimum Rent.
------------
(a) Minimum Rent shall be paid in advance on the first Business Day of
each month; provided, however, that the first payment of Minimum Rent shall
-------- -------
be payable on the Com mencement Date (and, if applicable, such payment
shall be prorated as provided in the last sentence of the first paragraph
of Section 3.1).
-----------
(b) Adjustments of Minimum Rent Following Disbursements Under Sections
------------------------------------------------------------------
5.1.3(b), 10.2.4 or 11.2. Effective on the date of each disbursement to
------------------------
pay for the cost of any repairs, maintenance, renovations or replacements
pursuant to Sections 5.1.3(b), 10.2.4 or 11.2, the Minimum Rent shall be

the first day of the immediately following month (in addition to the amount
of Minimum Rent payable with respect to such month, as adjusted pursuant to
this paragraph (b)) the amount by which Minimum Rent for the preceding
month, as adjusted for such disbursement on a per diem basis, exceeded the
amount of Minimum Rent paid by Tenant for such preceding month.
- 19 -
3.1.2 Additional Rent.
--------------
(a) Amount. Commencing with the Second Lease Year, for each Lease
------
Year or portion thereof, Tenant shall pay an aggregate amount of additional
rent ("Additional Rent") with respect to such Lease Year, pursuant to this
-----------------
Agreement and the Other Leases, in an amount, not less than zero, equal to
eight percent (8%) of Excess Total Hotel Sales.
(b) Monthly Installments. Commencing with the Second Lease Year,
--------------------
installments of Additional Rent for each Lease Year or portion thereof
shall be calculated and paid monthly in arrears, together with an Officer's
Certificate setting forth the calculation of Additional Rent due and
payable for such month.
(c) Reconciliation of Additional Rent. In addition, on or before
---------------------------------
April 30, of each year, commencing April 30, 1997, Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Total Hotel Sales for
the Collective Leased Properties for such preceding Lease Year, together
with an audit of Tenant's revenues for the preceding Lease Year, conducted
by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Co., or another "Big Six", so-called, firm of
independent certified public accountants proposed by Tenant and approved by
Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
If the annual Additional Rent for such preceding Lease Year as shown
in the Officer's Certificate exceeds the amount previously paid with
respect thereto by Tenant, Tenant shall pay such excess to Landlord at such
time as the Officer's Certificate is delivered, together with interest at
the Interest Rate, which interest shall accrue from the close of such
preceding Lease Year until the date that such certificate is required to be
delivered and, thereafter, such interest shall accrue at the Overdue Rate,
until the amount of such difference shall be paid or otherwise discharged.
If the annual Additional Rent for such preceding Lease Year as shown in the
Officer's Certificate is less than the amount previously paid with respect
thereto by Tenant, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, Landlord shall grant Tenant a credit against the Rent
next coming due in the amount of such difference, together with interest at
the Interest Rate, which interest shall accrue from the date of payment by
Tenant until the date such credit is applied or paid, as the case may be.
If such credit cannot be made because the Term has expired prior to
application in full thereof, provided no Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, Landlord shall pay the unapplied balance of such credit to
- 20 -
Tenant, together with interest at the Interest Rate, which interest shall
accrue from the date of payment by Tenant until the date of payment by
Landlord.
(d) Confirmation of Additional Rent. Tenant shall utilize, or cause
-------------------------------
to be utilized, an accounting system for the Collective Leased Properties
in accordance with its usual and customary practices and in accordance with
GAAP, which will accurately record all Total Hotel Sales and Tenant shall
retain, for at least three (3) years after the expiration of each Lease
Year, reasonably adequate records conforming to such accounting system
showing all Total Hotel Sales for such Lease Year. Landlord, at its own
expense, except as provided hereinbelow, shall have the right, exercisable
by Notice to Tenant within one (1) year after receipt of the applicable
Officer's Certificate, by its accountants or representatives to audit the
information set forth in the Officer's Certificate referred to in
subparagraph (c) above and, in connection with such audits, to examine
Tenant's and the Manager's books and records with respect thereto
(including supporting data and sales and excise tax returns). If any such
audit discloses a deficiency in the payment of Additional Rent and, either
Tenant agrees with the result of such audit or the matter is otherwise
compromised with Landlord, Tenant shall forthwith pay to Landlord the
amount of the deficiency, as finally agreed or determined, together with
interest at the Interest Rate, from the date such payment should have been
made to the date of payment thereof. If such deficiency, as agreed upon or
compromised as aforesaid, is more than four percent (4%) of the Total Hotel
Sales reported by Tenant for such Lease Year and, as a result, Landlord did
not receive at least ninety-five percent (95%) of the Additional Rent
payable with respect to such Lease Year, Tenant shall pay the reasonable
cost of such audit and examination. If any such audit discloses that Tenant
paid more Additional Rent for any Lease Year than was due hereunder, and
either Landlord agrees with the result of such audit or the matter is
otherwise determined, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Landlord shall grant Tenant a credit equal to the amount of
such overpayment against the Rent next coming due in the amount of such
difference, as finally agreed or determined, together with interest at the
Interest Rate, which interest shall accrue from the time of payment by
Tenant until the date such credit is applied or paid, as the case may be.
If such a credit cannot be made because the Term has expired before the
credit can be applied in full, provided no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, Landlord shall pay the unapplied balance of such credit
to Tenant, together with interest at the
- 21 -
Interest Rate, which interest shall accrue from the date of payment by
Tenant until the date of payment from Landlord.
Any proprietary information obtained by Landlord with respect to
Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall be treated as
confidential, except that such information may be used, subject to
appropriate confidentiality safeguards, in any litigation between the
parties and except further that Landlord may disclose such information to
its prospective lenders, provided that Landlord shall direct and obtain the
agreement of such lenders to maintain such information as confidential. The
obligations of Tenant and Landlord contained in this Section 3.1.2 shall
-------------
survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.
3.1.3 Additional Charges. In addition to the Minimum Rent and
------------------
Additional Rent payable hereunder, Tenant shall pay to the appropriate
parties and discharge as and when due and payable the following
(collectively, "Additional Charges"):

----------- ---------
Tenant shall pay, or cause to be paid, all Impositions before any fine,
penalty, interest or cost (other than any opportunity cost as a result of a
failure to take advantage of any discount for early payment) may be added
for non-payment, such payments to be made directly to the taxing
authorities where feasible, and shall promptly, upon request, furnish to
Landlord copies of official receipts or other reasonably satisfactory proof
evidencing such payments. If any such Imposition may, at the option of the
taxpayer, lawfully be paid in installments (whether or not interest shall
accrue on the unpaid balance of such Imposition), Tenant may exercise the
option to pay the same (and any accrued interest on the unpaid balance of
such Imposition) in installments and, in such event, shall pay such
installments during the Term as the same become due and before any fine,
penalty, premium, further interest or cost may be added thereto. Landlord,
at its expense, shall, to the extent required or permitted by Applicable
Law, prepare and file all tax returns and pay all taxes due in respect of
Landlord's net income, gross receipts, sales and use, single business,
transaction privilege, rent, ad valorem, franchise taxes and taxes on its
capital stock, and Tenant, at its expense, shall, to the extent required or
permitted by Applicable Laws and regulations, prepare and file all other
tax returns and reports in respect of any Imposition as may be required by
Government Agencies. Provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, if any refund shall be due from any taxing authority in
respect of any Imposition paid by Tenant, the same shall be paid over to or
- 22 -
retained by Tenant. Landlord and Tenant shall, upon request of the other,
provide such data as is maintained by the party to whom the request is made
with respect to the Leased Property as may be necessary to prepare any
required returns and reports. In the event Government Agencies classify any
property covered by this Agreement as personal property, Tenant shall file
all personal property tax returns in such jurisdictions where it may
legally so file. Each party shall, to the extent it possesses the same,
provide the other, upon request, with cost and depreciation records
necessary for filing returns for any property so classified as personal
property. Where Landlord is legally required to file personal property tax
returns for property covered by this Agreement, Landlord shall provide
Tenant with copies of assessment notices in sufficient time for Tenant to
file a protest. All Impositions assessed against such personal property
shall be (irrespective of whether Landlord or Tenant shall file the
relevant return) paid by Tenant not later than the last date on which the
same may be made without interest or penalty.
Landlord shall give prompt Notice to Tenant of all Impositions payable
by Tenant hereunder of which Landlord at any time has knowledge; provided,
--------
however, that Landlord's failure to give any such notice shall in no way
-------
diminish Tenant's obligation hereunder to pay such Impositions, unless such
failure continues for more than twelve (12) months after the date Landlord
learned of such Imposition.
(b) Utility Charges. Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all charges
---------------
for electricity, power, gas, oil, water and other utilities used in
connection with the Leased Property.
(c) Insurance Premiums. Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all
------------------
premiums for the insurance coverage required to be maintained pursuant to
Article 9.
---------
(d) Other Charges. Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all other
-------------
amounts, liabilities and obligations, including, without limitation,
[ground rents and other sums payable under the Ground Lease] and all
amounts payable under any equipment leases and all agreements to indemnify
Landlord under Sections 4.3.2 and 9.7.
----------------------
(e) Reimbursement for Additional Charges. If Tenant pays or causes
------------------------------------
to be paid property taxes or similar or other Additional Charges
attributable to periods after the end of the Term, whether upon expiration
or sooner termination of this Agreement (other than termination by reason
of an Event of Default), Tenant may, within a reasonable time after the end
of the Term, provide Notice to Landlord of its estimate
- 23 -
of such amounts. Landlord shall promptly reimburse Tenant for all payments
of such taxes and other similar Additional Charges that are attributable to
any period after the Term of this Agreement.
3.2 Late Payment of Rent, Etc., If any installment of Minimum Rent,
--------------------------
Additional Rent or Additional Charges (but only as to those Additional Charges
which are payable directly to Landlord) shall not be paid within ten (10) days
after its due date, Tenant shall pay Landlord, on demand, as Additional Charges,
a late charge (to the extent permitted by law) computed at the Overdue Rate on
the amount of such installment, from the due date of such installment to the
date of payment thereof. To the extent that Tenant pays any Additional Charges
directly to Landlord or any Hotel Mortgagee pursuant to any requirement of this
Agreement, Tenant shall be relieved of its obligation to pay such Additional
Charges to the Entity to which they would otherwise be due. If any payments due
from Landlord to Tenant shall not be paid within ten (10) days after its due
date, Landlord shall pay to Tenant, on demand, a late charge (to the extent
permitted by law) computed at the Overdue Rate on the amount of such installment
from the due date of such installment to the date of payment thereof.
In the event of any failure by Tenant to pay any Additional Charges when
due, Tenant shall promptly pay and discharge, as Additional Charges, every fine,
penalty, interest and cost which is added for non-payment or late payment of
such items. Landlord shall have all legal, equitable and contractual rights,
powers and remedies provided either in this Agreement or by statute or otherwise
in the case of non-payment of the Additional Charges as in the case of non-
payment of the Minimum Rent and Additional Rent.
3.3 Net Lease. The Rent shall be absolutely net to Landlord so that this
---------
Agreement shall yield to Landlord the full amount of the installments or amounts
of the Rent throughout the Term, subject to any other provisions of this
Agreement which expressly provide otherwise, including those provisions for
adjustment or abatement of such Rent.
3.4 No Termination, Abatement, Etc. Except as otherwise specifically
-------------------------------
provided in this Agreement, each of Landlord and Tenant, to the maximum extent
permitted by law, shall remain bound by this Agreement in accordance with its
terms and shall not take any action without the consent of the other to modify,
surrender or terminate this Agreement. In addition, except as otherwise
expressly provided in this Agreement, Tenant shall not seek, or be entitled to,
any abatement, deduction, deferment or reduction of the Rent, or set-off against
the Rent, nor shall the respective obligations of Landlord and Tenant be
otherwise
- 24 -
affected by reason of (a) any damage to or destruction of the Leased Property or
any portion thereof from whatever cause or any Condemnation, (b) the lawful or
unlawful prohibition of, or restriction upon, Tenant's use of the Leased
Property, or any portion thereof, or the interference with such use by any
Person or by reason of eviction by paramount title; (c) any claim which Tenant
may have against Landlord by reason of any default (other than a monetary
default) or breach of any warranty by Landlord under this Agreement or any other
agreement between Landlord and Tenant, or to which Landlord and Tenant are
parties; (d) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition,
readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, winding up or other proceedings
affecting Landlord or any assignee or transferee of Landlord; or (e) for any
other cause whether similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing (other than a
monetary default by Landlord); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not
-------- -------
apply or be construed to restrict Tenant's rights in the event of any act or
omission by Landlord constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, Tenant hereby
waives all rights arising from any occurrence whatsoever, which may now or
hereafter be conferred upon it by law (a) to modify, surrender or terminate this
Agreement or quit or surrender the Leased Property or any portion thereof, or
(b) which would entitle Tenant to any abatement, reduction, suspension or
deferment of the Rent or other sums payable or other obligations to be performed
by Tenant hereunder. The obligations of each party hereunder shall be separate
and independent covenants and agreements, and the Rent and all other sums
payable by Tenant hereunder shall continue to be payable in all events unless
the obligations to pay the same shall be terminated pursuant to the express
provisions of this Agreement. In any instance where, after the occurrence of an
Event of Default, Landlord retains funds which, but for the occurrence of such
Event of Default, would be payable to Tenant, Landlord shall refund such funds
to Tenant to the extent the amount thereof exceeds the amount necessary to
compensate Landlord for any cost, loss or damage incurred in connection with
such Event of Default.
3.5 Security for Tenant's Performance. Tenant acknowledges that the
---------------------------------
Retained Funds (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) constitute security for
the faithful observance and performance by Tenant of all the terms, covenants
and conditions of this Agreement by Tenant to be observed and performed. If any
Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Landlord may, at its option and
without prejudice to any other remedy which Landlord may have on account
thereof, appropriate and apply so much of the Retained Funds as may be necessary
to compensate Landlord toward the payment of the Rent or other sums or loss or
damage sustained by Landlord due to such breach by Tenant. It is understood and
agreed that the amount of the Retained Funds is not to be considered as prepaid
rent, nor shall damages be limited to the
- 25 -
amount of the amount of the Retained Funds. Provided this Agreement shall not
be terminated as a result of an Event of Default, the Retained Funds shall be
paid as provided in the Purchase Agreement.

of the Leased Property or any part thereof for its Permitted Use.
(b) In the event that, in the reasonable determination of Tenant, it
shall no longer be economically practical to operate the Leased Property as
a Wyndham Garden hotel, Tenant shall give Landlord Notice thereof, which
Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the reasons therefor.
Thereafter, Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate in good faith to agree on
an alternative use for the Leased Property, appropriate adjustments to the
Additional Rent and other related matters; provided, however, in no such

----------- ----------
and all debts, liens, claims, causes of action, administrative orders or
notices, costs, fines, penalties or expenses (including, without

the Manager to perform or comply with any of the terms of this Section 4.3,
-----------
except to the extent the same arise from the acts or omissions of Landlord
or any other Indemnitee or during any period that Landlord or a Person

----------------
direct the Manager to, keep the Leased Property and all private roadways,
sidewalks and curbs appurtenant thereto (and Tenant's Personal Property) in
good order and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted (whether or not

------------
(a) Upon execution of this Agreement, the FF&E Funded Amount (as
defined in the Purchase Agreement) has been deposited in a reserve account

Landlord. The purpose of the FF&E Reserve is to cover the cost of:
(i) Replacements and renewals to the Hotel's furnishings, fixtures
and equipment;
(ii) Certain routine repairs and maintenance to the Hotel building
which are normally capitalized under GAAP such as exterior and
interior repainting, resurfacing building walls, floors, roofs

(iii) Major repairs, alterations, improvements, renewals or
replacements to the Hotel's buildings' structure, roof, or
exterior facade, or to its mechanical, electrical, heating,

Tenant agrees that it will, from time to time, execute such reasonable
documentation as may be requested by Landlord and any Hotel Mortgagee to
assist Landlord and such
- 30 -
Hotel Mortgagee in establishing or perfecting its security interest in
Landlord's residual interest in the funds which are in the FF&E Reserve, it
being acknowledged and agreed that the funds in the FF&E Reserve are the
property of Tenant; provided, however, that no such documentation shall
-------- -------
contain any amendment or modification of any of the provisions of this
Agreement. It is understood and agreed that, during the Term, the FF&E
Reserve may not be applied against debts secured by a Hotel Mortgage nor
shall any Hotel Mortgagee have the right to approve the release of such
funds pursuant to the terms of this Agreement unless and until Landlord
shall default in its obligations to such Hotel Mortgagee.
(b) Throughout the Term, Tenant shall transfer (as of the end of each
month of the Term) into the FF&E Reserve an amount equal to five percent
(5%) of Total Hotel Sales for such month. Together with the documentation
provided to Landlord pursuant to Section 3.1.2(c), Tenant shall deliver to
----------------
Landlord an Officer's Certificate setting forth the total amount of
deposits made to and expenditures from the FF&E Reserve for the preceding
Fiscal Year, together with a reconciliation of such expenditures with the

shall prepare an estimate (the "FF&E Estimate") of FF&E Reserve
-------------
expenditures necessary during the ensuing Fiscal Year, and shall submit
such FF&E Estimate to Landlord for its review and approval, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the event Landlord shall
fail to respond within thirty (30) days after receipt of the FF&E Estimate,
such FF&E Estimate shall be deemed approved by Landlord. All expenditures
from the FF&E Reserve shall be (as to both the amount of each such
expenditure and the timing thereof) both reasonable and necessary, given
the objective that the Hotel will be maintained and operated to a standard
comparable to competitive hotels.
(d) Tenant shall, consistent with the FF&E Estimate approved by
Landlord, from time to time make expenditures from the FF&E Reserve as it
deems necessary provided that Tenant shall not materially deviate from the
FF&E Estimate approved by Landlord without the prior approval of Landlord,
except in the case of emergency where immediate action is necessary to
prevent imminent danger to person or property.
(e) Upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement, funds
in the FF&E Reserve and all property purchased with funds from the FF&E
Reserve during the Term
- 31 -
shall be paid, granted and assigned to Landlord as Additional Charges.
(f) It is understood and agreed that the FF&E Reserve pursuant to this
Agreement and the Other Leases shall be maintained on a consolidated basis.
5.1.3 Landlord's Obligations.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Landlord
shall not, under any circumstances, be required to build or rebuild any
improvement on the Leased Property, or to make any repairs, replacements,
alterations, restorations or renewals of any nature or description to the
Leased Property, whether ordinary or extraordinary, structural or
nonstructural, foreseen or unforeseen, or, except as provided in Section
-------
5.1.3(b), to make any expenditure whatsoever with respect thereto, or to
--------
maintain the Leased Property in any way. Except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Agreement, Tenant hereby waives, to the maximum extent
permitted by law, the right to make repairs at the expense of Landlord
pursuant to any law in effect on the date hereof or hereafter enacted.
Landlord shall have the right to give, record and post, as appropriate,
notices of nonresponsibility under any mechanic's lien laws now or
hereafter existing.
(b) If, at any time, funds in the FF&E Reserve shall be insufficient
for necessary and permitted expenditures thereof or, pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement, Tenant is required to make any expenditures in
connection with any repair, maintenance or renovation with respect to the
Leased Property and the amount of such disbursements or expenditures
exceeds the amount on deposit in the FF&E Reserve or such repair,
maintenance or renovation is not a permitted expenditure from the FF&E
Reserve as described in Section 5.1.2(a)(i) and (ii), Tenant may, at its
----------------------------
election, give Landlord Notice thereof, which Notice shall set forth, in
reasonable detail, the nature of the required repair, renovation or
replacement, the estimated cost thereof and such other information with
respect thereto as Landlord may reasonably require. Provided that no Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and Tenant shall otherwise
comply with the applicable provisions of Article 6, Landlord shall, within
---------
ten (10) Business Days after such Notice, subject to and in accordance with
the applicable provisions of Article 6, disburse such required funds to
---------
Tenant (or, if Tenant shall so elect, directly to the Manager or any other
Person performing the required work) and, upon such disbursement, the
Minimum Rent shall be adjusted as provided in Section 3.1.1(b); provided,
---------------- --------
however, that, in the event
-------
- 32 -
that Landlord shall elect not to disburse any funds pursuant to this
Section 5.1.3(b), Tenant's sole recourse shall be to elect not to make the
----------------
applicable repair, maintenance or renovation.
5.1.4 Nonresponsibility of Landlord, Etc. All materialmen,
-----------------------------------
contractors, artisans, mechanics and laborers and other persons contracting
with Tenant with respect to the Leased Property, or any part thereof, are
hereby charged with notice that liens on the Leased Property or on
Landlord's interest therein are expressly prohibited and that they must
look solely to Tenant to secure payment for any work done or material
furnished by Tenant, the Manager or for any other purpose during the term
of this Agreement.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed in
any way as constituting the consent or request of Landlord, express or
implied, by inference or otherwise, to any contractor, subcontractor,
laborer or materialmen for the performance of any labor or the furnishing
of any materials for any alteration, addition, improvement or repair to the
Leased Property or any part thereof or as giving Tenant any right, power or
authority to contract for or permit the rendering of any services or the
furnishing of any materials that would give rise to the filing of any lien
against the Leased Property or any part thereof nor to subject Landlord's
estate in the Leased Property or any part thereof to liability under any
Mechanic's Lien Law of the State in any way, it being expressly understood
Landlord's estate shall not be subject to any such liability.

order to operate in compliance with applicable Legal Requirements and Insurance
Requirements and otherwise in accordance with customary practice in the industry
for the Permitted Use and all of such Personal Property shall, upon the
expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, shall become the property
of Landlord. If, from and after the Commencement Date, Tenant acquires an
interest in any item of tangible personal property (other than motor vehicles)
on, or in connection with, the Leased Property which belongs to anyone other
than Tenant, Tenant shall require the agreements permitting such use to provide
that Landlord or its designee may assume Tenant's rights and obligations under
such agreement upon the termination of this Agreement and the assumption of
management or operation of the Hotel by Landlord or its designee.
5.3 Yield Up. Upon the expiration or sooner termination of this
--------
Agreement, Tenant shall vacate and surrender the Leased Property to Landlord in
substantially the same condition in which the Leased Property was in on the

- 33 -
repaired, rebuilt, restored, altered or added to as permitted or required by the
provisions of this Agreement, reasonable wear and tear excepted (and casualty
damage and Condemnation, in the event that this Agreement is terminated
following a casualty or total Condemnation in accordance with Article 10 or
----------
Article 11 excepted).
----------
In addition, upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement,
Tenant shall, at Landlord's sole cost and expense, use its good faith efforts to
transfer to and cooperate with Landlord or Landlord's nominee in connection with
the processing of all applications for licenses, operating permits and other
governmental authorizations and all contracts, including contracts with
governmental or quasi-governmental Entities which may be necessary for the use
and operation of the Hotel as then operated. If requested by Landlord, Tenant
will direct the Manager to continue to manage the Hotel after the expiration of
the Term and for up to one hundred twenty (120) days, on such reasonable terms
(which shall include a market rate management fee and an agreement to reimburse
the Manager for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, and reasonable
administrative costs), as Landlord shall reasonably request.

amounts due from Tenant to Landlord, (ii) for operation of the Leased Property
under the "Wyndham" and "Wyndham Garden" names, (iii) that Wyndham, the Manager
and their Affiliated Persons are prohibited from operating, managing or
franchising another Wyndham Gardens hotel within the designated area on Exhibit

D and (iv) for termination thereof, at Landlord's option, upon the termination
-
of this Agreement. Tenant shall not take any action, grant any consent or
permit any action under the Management Agreement which might have a material
adverse effect on Landlord, without the prior written consent of Landlord;
provided, however, that Landlord's consent shall not be required in connection
-------- -------
with any assignment of the Manager's rights under the Management Agreement to
(x) any Affiliated Person of Wyndham having the full power, right and authority
to provide all services and organizational expertise as contemplated and
required by the Management Agreement or (y) any Person (including, but not
limited to, any Lending Institution) who acquires all or substantially all of
the management contracts of Wyndham (including, without limitation, all of the
Management Agreements with respect to the Collective Leased Properties that have
not been theretofore cancelled or terminated pursuant to the terms thereof),
provided that, in either such case, the Leased Property will retain the right to
use the "Wyndham" and "Wyndham
- 34 -
Garden" names. In the event of an assignment pursuant to clause (y) preceding,
provided that the successor Manager (i) assumes, in writing all obligations of
the Manager under the Management Agreement, and (ii) has a Tangible Net Worth,
as of the date of assignment, equal to the greater of the Tangible Net Worth of
Wyndham as of the date of this Agreement, and the Tangible Net Worth of Wyndham
as of the date of such assignment, Wyndham shall be released from all
liabilities arising under the Management Agreement from and after the effective
date of such assignment. Tenant shall not agree to any change in the Manager
(except as provided in the preceding sentences), to any change in the Management
Agreement (except as provided in the preceding sentences), terminate the
Management Agreement or permit the Manager to assign the Management Agreement
(except as provided in the preceding sentences) without the prior written
approval of Landlord in each instance; provided, however, that the Manager may
-------- -------
grant a security interest in its right to receive payments under the Management
Agreement without Landlord's prior written approval.

IMPROVEMENTS, ETC.
------------------
6.1 Improvements to the Leased Property. Tenant shall not make, construct
-----------------------------------
or install (and shall direct the Manager not to construct or install) any
Capital Additions (other than Capital Additions of the type described in Section
-------
5.1.2(a)(ii) and approved pursuant to Section 5.1.2(c)) without, in each
------------ ----------------
instance, obtaining Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned provided that (a) construction or
installation of the same would not adversely affect or violate any Legal
Requirement or Insurance Requirement applicable to the Leased Property and (b)
Landlord shall have received an Officer's Certificate certifying as to the
satisfaction of the conditions set out in clause (a) above; provided, however,
-------- -------
that no such consent shall be required in the event immediate action is required
to prevent imminent danger to person or property. Prior to commencing
construction of any Capital Addition, Tenant shall submit, or shall direct the
Manager to submit, to Landlord, in writing, a proposal setting forth, in
reasonable detail, any such proposed improvement and shall provide to Landlord
such plans and specifications, and such permits, licenses, contracts and such
other information concerning the same as Landlord may reasonably request.
Landlord shall have thirty (30) days to review all materials submitted to
Landlord in connection with any such proposal. Failure of Landlord to respond
to Tenant's or the Manager's proposal within thirty (30) days after receipt of
all information and materials requested by Landlord in connection with the
proposed improvement
- 35 -
shall be deemed to constitute approval of the same. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, such proposal shall indicate the approximate
projected cost of constructing such proposed improvement and the use or uses to
which it will be put. No Capital Addition shall be made which would tie in or
connect any Leased Improvement with any other improvements on property adjacent
to the Leased Property (and not part of the Land) including, without limitation,
tie-ins of buildings or other structures or utilities. Tenant shall not
finance, and shall direct the Manager not to finance, the cost of any
construction of such improvement by the granting of a lien on or security
interest in the Leased Property or such improvement, or Tenant's interest
therein, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be
withheld by Landlord in Landlord's sole discretion. Any such improvements
shall, upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement, remain or
pass to and become the property of Landlord, free and clear of all encumbrances
other than Permitted Encumbrances.
6.2 Salvage. All materials which are scrapped or removed in connection
-------
with the making of either Capital Additions or non-Capital Additions or repairs
required by Article 5 shall be or become the property of the party that paid for
---------
such work.
ARTICLE 7
---------
LIENS
-----
7.1 Liens. Subject to Article 8, Tenant shall not, directly or
----- ---------
indirectly, create or allow to remain and shall promptly discharge, at its
expense, any lien, encumbrance, attachment, title retention agreement or claim
upon the Leased Property or Tenant's leasehold interest therein or any attach
ment, levy, claim or encumbrance in respect of the Rent, other than (a)
Permitted Encumbrances, (b) restrictions, liens and other encumbrances which are
consented to in writing by Landlord, (c) liens for those taxes of Landlord which
Tenant is not required to pay hereunder, (d) subleases permitted by Article 17,
----------
(e) liens for Impositions or for sums resulting from noncompliance with Legal
Requirements so long as (i) the same are not yet due and payable, or (ii) are
being contested in accordance with Article 8, (f) liens of mechanics, laborers,
---------
materialmen, suppliers or vendors incurred in the ordinary course of business
that are not yet due and payable or are for sums that are being contested in
accordance with Article 8, (g) any Hotel Mortgages or other liens which are the
---------
responsibility of Landlord pursuant to the provisions of Article 21, (h)
----------
Landlord Liens and any other voluntary liens created by Landlord and (i)
Leasehold Mortgages.
- 36 -
7.2 Landlord's Lien. In addition to any statutory landlord's lien and in
---------------
order to secure payment of the Rent and all other sums payable hereunder by
Tenant, and to secure payment of any loss, cost or damage which Landlord may
suffer by reason of Tenant's breach of this Agreement, Tenant hereby grants unto
Landlord a security interest in and an express contractual lien upon Tenant's
Personal Property (except motor vehicles and liquor licenses and permits), and
Tenant's interest in all ledger sheets, files, records, documents and
instruments (including, without limitation, computer programs, tapes and related
electronic data processing) relating to the operation of the Hotels (the
"Records") and all proceeds therefrom, subject to any Permitted Encumbrances;
--------
and such Tenant's Personal Property shall not be removed from the Leased
Property at any time when a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing.
Upon Landlord's request, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord
financing statements in form sufficient to perfect the security interest of
Landlord in Tenant's Personal Property and the proceeds thereof in accordance
with the provisions of the applicable laws of the State. Tenant hereby grants
Landlord an irrevocable limited power of attorney, coupled with an interest, to
execute all such financing statements in Tenant's name, place and stead. The
security interest herein granted is in addition to any statutory lien for the
Rent.
ARTICLE 8
---------
PERMITTED CONTESTS
------------------
Tenant shall have the right to contest the amount or validity of any
Imposition, Legal Requirement, Insurance Requirement, Environmental Obligation,
lien, attachment, levy, encumbrance, charge or claim (collectively, "Claims") as
------
to the Leased Property, by appropriate legal proceedings, conducted in good
faith and with due diligence, provided that (a) the foregoing shall in no way be
construed as relieving, modifying or extending Tenant's obligation to pay any
Claims as finally determined, (b) such contest shall not cause Landlord or
Tenant to be in default under any mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the
Leased Property (Landlord agreeing that any such mortgage or deed of trust shall
permit Tenant to exercise the rights granted pursuant to this Article 8) or any
---------
interest therein or result in or reasonably be expected to result in a lien
attaching to the Leased Property, (c) no part of the Leased Property nor any
Rent therefrom shall be in any immediate danger of sale, forfeiture, attachment
or loss, and (d) Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and
against any cost, claim, damage, penalty or reasonable expense, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Landlord in connection therewith or as a
result
- 37 -
thereof. Landlord agrees to join in any such proceedings if required legally to
prosecute such contest, provided that Landlord shall not thereby be subjected to
any liability therefor (including, without limitation, for the payment of any
costs or expenses in connection therewith) unless Tenant agrees by agreement in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, to assume and indemnify
Landlord with respect to the same. Tenant shall be entitled to any refund of
any Claims and such charges and penalties or interest thereon which have been
paid by Tenant or paid by Landlord to the extent that Landlord has been fully
reimbursed by Tenant. If Tenant shall fail (x) to pay or cause to be paid any
Claims when finally determined, (y) to provide reasonable security therefor, or
(z) to prosecute or cause to be prosecuted any such contest diligently and in
good faith, Landlord may, upon reasonable notice to Tenant (which notice shall
not be required if Landlord shall reasonably determine that the same is not
practicable), pay such charges, together with interest and penalties due with
respect thereto, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord therefor, upon demand, as
Ad ditional Charges.
ARTICLE 9
---------
INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION
-----------------------------
9.1 General Insurance Requirements. Tenant shall, at all times during the
------------------------------
Term and at any other time Tenant shall be in possession of the Leased Property,
keep the Leased Property and all property located therein or thereon, insured
against the risks and in the amounts as follows and shall maintain the following
insurance:
(a) "All-risk" property insurance, including insurance against loss or
damage by fire, vandalism and malicious mischief, earthquake, explosion of
steam boilers, pressure vessels or other similar apparatus, now or
hereafter installed in the Hotel located at the Leased Property, with the
usual extended coverage endorsements, in an amount equal to one hundred
percent (100%) of the then full Replacement Cost thereof (as defined in
Section 9.2);
------------
(b) Business interruption insurance covering risk of loss during the lesser
of the first twelve (12) months of reconstruction or the actual
reconstruction period necessitated by the occurrence of any of the hazards
described in subparagraph (a) above, in such amounts as may be customary
for comparable properties in the area and in an amount sufficient to
prevent Landlord or Tenant from becoming a co-insurer;
- 38 -
(c) Comprehensive general liability insurance, including bodily injury and
property damage in a form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord (and
including, without limitation, broad form contractual liability,
independent contractor's hazard and completed operations coverage) in an
amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence, Three
Million Dollars ($3,000,000) in the aggregate and umbrella coverage of all
such claims in an amount not less than Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000);
(d) Flood (if the Leased Property is located in whole or in part within an
area identified as an area having special flood hazards and in which flood
insurance has been made available under the National Flood Insurance Act of
1968, as amended, or the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended
(or any successor acts thereto)) and such other hazards and in such amounts
as may be customary for comparable properties in the area;
(e) Worker's compensation insurance coverage if required by applicable law
for all persons employed by Tenant on the Leased Property with statutory
limits and otherwise with limits of and provisions in accordance with the
requirements of applicable local, State and federal law, and employer's
liability insurance as is customarily carried by similar employers; and
(f) Such additional insurance as may be reasonably required, from time to
time, by Landlord or any Hotel Mortgagee and which is customarily carried
by comparable lodging properties in the area.
9.2 Replacement Cost. "Replacement Cost" as used herein, shall mean the
---------------- ----------------
actual replacement cost of the property requiring replacement from time to time,
including an increased cost of construction endorsement, less exclusions
provided in the standard form of fire insurance policy. In the event either
party believes that the then full Replacement Cost has increased or decreased at
any time during the Term, such party, at its own cost, shall have the right to
have such full Replacement Cost redetermined by an independent accredited
appraiser approved by the other, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. The party desiring to have the full Replacement Cost so
redetermined shall forthwith, on receipt of such determination by such
appraiser, give Notice thereof to the other. The determina tion of such
appraiser shall be final and binding on the parties hereto until any subsequent
determination under this Section 9.2, and Tenant shall forthwith conform the
-----------
amount of the insurance carried to the amount so determined by the appraiser.
- 39 -
9.3 Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant agree that (insofar as
---------------------
and to the extent that such agreement may be effective without invalidating or
making it impossible to secure insurance coverage from responsible insurance
companies doing business in the State) with respect to any property loss which
is covered by insurance then being carried by Landlord or Tenant, respectively,
the party carrying such insurance and suffering said loss releases the other of
and from any and all claims with respect to such loss; and they further agree
that their respective insurance companies shall have no right of subrogation
against the other on account thereof, even though extra premium may result
therefrom. In the event that any extra premium is payable by Tenant as a result
of this provision, Landlord shall not be liable for reimbursement to Tenant for
such extra premium.
9.4 Form Satisfactory, Etc. All insurance policies and endorsements
-----------------------
required pursuant to this Article 9 shall be fully paid for, nonassessable and
---------
be issued by insurance carriers authorized to do business in the State, having a
general policy holder's rating of no less than B++ in Best's latest rating
guide. All such policies described in Sections 9.1(a) through (d) shall include
---------------------------
no deductible in excess of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) and,
with the exception of the insurance described in Sections 9.1(e), shall name
---------------
Landlord and any Hotel Mortgagee as additional insureds, as their interests may
appear. All loss adjustments shall be payable as provided in Article 10.
----------
Tenant shall cause all insurance premiums to be paid and shall deliver policies
or certificates thereof to Landlord prior to their effective date (and, with
respect to any renewal policy, prior to the expiration of the existing policy).
All such policies shall provide Landlord (and any Hotel Mortgagee if required by
the same) thirty (30) days prior written notice of any material change or
cancellation of such policy. In the event Tenant shall fail to effect such
insurance as herein required, to pay the premiums therefor or to deliver such
policies or certificates to Landlord or any Hotel Mortgagee at the times
required, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, subject to the
provisions of Section 12.5, to acquire such insurance and pay the premiums
therefor, which amounts shall be payable to Landlord, upon demand, as Additional
Charges, together with interest accrued thereon at the Overdue Rate from the
date such payment is made until (but excluding) the date repaid.
9.5 Blanket Policy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
--------------
this Article 9, Tenant's obligation to maintain the insurance herein required
---------
may be brought within the coverage of a so-called blanket policy or policies of
insurance carried and maintained by Tenant, provided, that (a) the coverage
thereby afforded will not be reduced or diminished from that which would exist
under a separate policy meeting all other requirements of this Agreement, and
(b) the requirements of this
- 40 -
Article 9 are otherwise satisfied. Without limiting the foregoing, the amounts
---------
of insurance that are required to be maintained pursuant to Section 9.1 shall be
-----------
on a Hotel by Hotel basis, and shall not be subject to an aggregate limit,
except for flood, earthquake and umbrella coverages.
9.6 No Separate Insurance. Tenant shall not take out separate insurance,
---------------------
concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required by
this Article 9, or increase the amount of any existing insurance by securing an
---------
additional policy or additional policies, unless all parties having an insurable
interest in the subject matter of such insurance, including Landlord and all
Hotel Mortgagees, are included therein as additional insureds and the loss is
payable under such insurance in the same manner as losses are payable under this
Agreement. In the event Tenant shall take out any such separate insurance or
increase any of the amounts of the then existing insurance, Tenant shall give
Landlord prompt Notice thereof.
9.7 Indemnification of Landlord. Notwithstanding the existence of any
---------------------------
insurance provided for herein and without regard to the policy limits of any
such insurance, Tenant shall protect, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord for,
from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties,
causes of action, costs and reasonable expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees), to the maximum extent permitted by law, imposed
upon or incurred by or asserted against Landlord by reason of: (a) any
accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property
occurring on or about the Leased Property or adjoining sidewalks or rights of
way, (b) any past, present or future use, misuse, non-use, condition,
management, maintenance or repair by Tenant or anyone claiming under Tenant of
the Leased Property or Tenant's Personal Property or any litigation, proceeding
or claim by governmental entities or other third parties to which Landlord is
made a party or participant relating to the Leased Property or Tenant's Personal
Property or such use, misuse, non-use, condition, management, maintenance, or
repair thereof including, failure to perform obligations (other than
Condemnation proceedings) to which Landlord is made a party, (c) any Impositions
that are the obligations of Tenant to pay pursuant to the applicable provisions
of this Agreement, and (d) any failure on the part of Tenant or anyone claiming
under Tenant to perform or comply with any of the terms of this Agreement.
Tenant, at its expense, shall contest, resist and defend any such claim, action
or proceeding asserted or instituted against Landlord (and shall not be
responsible for any duplicative attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord) or may
compromise or otherwise dispose of the same, with Landlord's prior written
consent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In the
event Landlord shall unreasonably withhold or delay its consent, Tenant shall
not be
- 41 -
liable pursuant to this Section 9.7 for any incremental increase in costs or
-----------
expenses resulting therefrom. The obligations of Tenant under this Section 9.7
-----------
are in addition to the obligations set forth in Section 4.3 and shall survive
-----------
the termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 10
-----------
CASUALTY
--------
10.1 Insurance Proceeds. Except as provided in the last clause of this
------------------
sentence, all proceeds payable by reason of any loss or damage to the Leased
Property, or any portion thereof, and insured under any policy of insurance
required by Article 9 (other than the proceeds of any business interruption
---------
insurance) shall be paid directly to Landlord (subject to the provisions of
Section 10.2) and all loss adjustments with respect to losses payable to
------------
Landlord shall require the prior written consent of Landlord; provided, however,
-------- -------
that, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all
such proceeds less than or equal to Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
($250,000) shall be paid directly to Tenant and such losses may be adjusted
without Landlord's consent. If Tenant is required to reconstruct or repair the
Leased Property as provided herein, such proceeds shall be paid out by Landlord
from time to time for the reasonable costs of reconstruction or repair of the
Leased Property necessitated by such damage or destruction, subject to and in
accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2.4. Provided no Default or Event
--------------
of Default has occurred and is continuing, any excess proceeds of insurance
remaining after the completion of the restoration shall be paid to Tenant. In
the event that the provisions of Section 10.2.1 are applicable, the insurance
--------------
proceeds shall be retained by the party entitled thereto pursuant to Section
-------
10.2.1. All salvage resulting from any risk covered by insurance shall belong
------
to Landlord, provided any rights to the same have been waived by the insurer.
10.2 Damage or Destruction.
---------------------
10.2.1 Damage or Destruction of Leased Property. If, during the
----------------------------------------
Term, the Leased Property shall be totally or partially destroyed and the Hotel
located thereon is thereby rendered Unsuitable for Its Permitted Use, either
Landlord or Tenant may, by the giving of Notice thereof to the other, terminate
this Agreement, whereupon, this Agreement shall terminate and Landlord shall be
entitled to retain the insurance proceeds payable on account of such damage.
10.2.2 Partial Damage or Destruction. If, during the Term, the
-----------------------------
Leased Property shall be totally or partially destroyed
- 42 -
but the Hotel is not rendered Unsuitable for Its Permitted Use, Tenant shall,
subject to Section 10.2.3, promptly restore the Hotel as provided in Section
-------------- -------
10.2.4.
------
10.2.3 Insufficient Insurance Proceeds. If this Agreement is not
-------------------------------
otherwise terminated pursuant to this Article 10 and the cost of the repair or
----------
restoration of the Leased Property exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds
received by Landlord and Tenant pursuant to Article 9(a), (c), (d) or, if
-----------------------------
applicable, (e), Tenant shall give Landlord Notice thereof which notice shall
---------------
set forth in reasonable detail the nature of such deficiency and whether Tenant
shall pay and assume the amount of such deficiency (Tenant having no obligation
to do so, except that, if Tenant shall elect to make such funds available, the
same shall become an irrevocable obligation of Tenant pursuant to this
Agreement). In the event Tenant shall elect not to pay and assume the amount of
such deficiency, Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation),
exercisable at Landlord's sole election by Notice to Tenant, given within sixty
(60) days after Tenant's notice of the deficiency, to elect to make available
for application to the cost of repair or restoration the amount of such
deficiency; provided, however, in such event, upon any disbursement by Landlord
-------- -------
thereof, the Minimum Rent shall be adjusted as provided in Section 3.1.1(b). In
----------------
the event that neither Landlord nor Tenant shall elect to make such deficiency
available for restoration, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this
Agreement by Notice to the other, whereupon, this Agreement shall terminate as
provided in Section 10.2.1. It is expressly understood and agreed, however,
--------------
that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Tenant shall
be strictly liable and solely responsible for the amount of any deductible and
shall, upon any insurable loss, pay over the amount of such deductible to
Landlord at the time and in the manner herein provided for payment of the
applicable proceeds to Landlord.
10.2.4 Disbursement of Proceeds. In the event Tenant is required to
------------------------
restore the Leased Property pursuant to Section 10.2, Tenant shall (or shall
------------
direct the Manager to) commence promptly and continue diligently to perform the
repair and restoration of the Leased Property (hereinafter called the "Work"),
----
so as to restore the Leased Property in compliance with all Legal Requirements
and so that the Leased Property shall be, to the extent practicable,
substantially equivalent in value and general utility to its general utility and
value immediately prior to such damage or destruction. Subject to the terms
hereof, Landlord shall advance the insurance proceeds and any additional amounts
payable by Landlord pursuant to Section 10.2.3 to Tenant regularly during the
--------------
repair and restoration period so as to permit payment for the cost of any such
restoration and repair. Any such advances shall be made not more than monthly
within ten (10) Business Days after Tenant submits to Landlord a
- 43 -
written requisition and substantiation therefor on AIA Forms G702 and G703 (or
on such other form or forms as may be reasonably acceptable to Landlord).
Landlord may, at its option, condition advancement of said insurance proceeds
and other amounts on (i) the absence of any Event of Default, (ii) its approval
of plans and specifications of an architect satisfactory to Landlord (which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), (iii)
general contractors' estimates, (iv) architect's certificates, (v) unconditional
lien waivers of general contractors, if available, (vi) evidence of approval by
all governmental authorities and other regulatory bodies whose approval is
required and (vii) such other certificates as Landlord may, from time to time,
reasonably require.
Landlord's obligation to disburse insurance proceeds under this Article 10
----------
during the last two (2) years of the Term shall be subject to the release of
such proceeds by any Hotel Mortgagee to Landlord. If any Hotel Mortgagee shall
be unwilling to disburse insurance proceeds in accordance with this Agreement,
Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Agreement.
Tenant's obligation to restore the Leased Property pursuant to this Article
-------
10 shall be subject to the release of available insurance proceeds by the
--
applicable Hotel Mortgagee to Landlord or directly to Tenant and, in the event
such proceeds are insufficient, Landlord electing to make such deficiency
available therefor (and disbursement of such deficiency).
10.3 Damage Near End of Term. Notwithstanding any provisions of Section
----------------------- -------
10.1 or 10.2 to the contrary, if damage to or destruction of the Leased Property
------------
occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Term (including any exercised
Extended Terms) and if such damage or destruction cannot reasonably be expected
to be fully repaired and restored prior to the date that is six (6) months prior
to the end of such Term, the provisions of Section 10.2.1 shall apply as if the
--------------
Leased Property had been totally or partially destroyed and the Hotel rendered
Unsuitable for its Permitted Use.
10.4 Tenant's Property. All insurance proceeds payable by reason of any
-----------------
loss of or damage to any of Tenant's Personal Property shall be paid to Tenant
and, to the extent necessary to repair or replace Tenant's Personal Property in
accordance with Section 10.5, Tenant shall hold such proceeds in trust to pay
------------
the cost of repairing or replacing damaged Tenant's Personal Property.
10.5 Restoration of Tenant's Property. If Tenant is required to restore
--------------------------------
the Leased Property as hereinabove provided, Tenant shall either (a) restore all
alterations and improvements made by Tenant and Tenant's Personal Property, or
(b) replace
- 44 -
such alterations and improvements and Tenant's Personal Property with
improvements or items of the same or better quality and utility in the operation
of the Leased Property.
10.6 No Abatement of Rent. This Agreement shall remain in full force and
--------------------
effect and Tenant's obligation to make all payments of Rent and to pay all other
charges as and when required under this Agreement shall remain unabated during
the Term notwithstanding any damage involving the Leased Property (provided that
Landlord shall credit against such payments any amounts paid to Landlord as a
consequence of such damage under any business interruption insurance obtained by
Tenant hereunder). The provisions of this Article 10 shall be considered an
----------
express agreement governing any cause of damage or destruction to the Leased
Property and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, no local or State statute,
laws, rules, regulation or ordinance in effect during the Term which provide for
such a contingency shall have any application in such case.
10.7 Waiver. Tenant hereby waives any statutory rights of termination
------
which may arise by reason of any damage or destruction of the Leased Property.
10.8 Effect on Other Leases. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant
----------------------
to this Article 10 shall not terminate or otherwise affect the Other Leases or
----------
Tenant's ability to extend the Other Leases pursuant to the terms and provisions
thereof.
ARTICLE 11
-----------
CONDEMNATION
------------
11.1 Total Condemnation, Etc. If either (i) the whole of the Leased
------------------------
Property shall be taken by Condemnation or (ii) a Condemnation of less than the
whole of the Leased Property renders the Leased Property Unsuitable for Its
Permitted Use, this Agreement shall terminate and Tenant and Landlord shall seek
the Award for their interests in the Leased Property as provided in Section
-------
11.5.
----
11.2 Partial Condemnation. In the event of a Condemnation of less than
--------------------
the whole of the Leased Property such that the Leased Property is still suitable
for its Permitted Use, Tenant shall, to the extent of the Award actually
received by Tenant and any additional amounts disbursed by Landlord as
hereinafter provided, commence promptly and continue diligently to restore the
untaken portion of the Leased Improvements so that such Leased Improvements
shall constitute a complete architectural unit of the same general character and
condition (as nearly as may be possible under the circumstances) as the Leased
- 45 -
Improvements existing immediately prior to such Condemnation, in full compliance
with all Legal Requirements, subject to the provisions of this Section 11.2. If
------------
the cost of the repair or restoration of the Leased Property exceeds the amount
of the Award, Tenant shall give Landlord Notice thereof which notice shall set
forth in reasonable detail the nature of such deficiency and whether Tenant
shall pay and assume the amount of such deficiency (Tenant having no obligation
to do so, except that if Tenant shall elect to make such funds available, the
same shall become an irrevocable obligation of Tenant pursuant to this
Agreement). In the event Tenant shall elect not to pay and assume the amount of
such deficiency, Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation),
exercisable at Landlord's sole election by Notice to Tenant given within sixty
(60) days after Tenant's Notice of the deficiency, to elect to make available
for application to the cost of repair or restoration the amount of such
deficiency; provided, however, in such event, upon any disbursement by Landlord
-------- -------
thereof, the Minimum Rent shall be adjusted as provided in Section 3.1.1(b). In
----------------
the event that neither Landlord nor Tenant shall elect to make such deficiency
available for restoration, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this
Agreement and the entire Award shall be retained by Landlord.
Subject to the terms hereof, Landlord shall contribute to the cost of
restoration that part of the Award necessary to complete such repair or
restoration, together with severance and other damages awarded for the taken
Leased Improvements and any deficiency Landlord has agreed to disburse, to
Tenant regularly during the restoration period so as to permit payment for the
cost of such repair or restoration. Landlord may, at its option, condition
advancement of such Award and other amounts on (i) the absence of any Event of
Default, (ii) its approval of plans and specifications of an architect
satisfactory to Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), (iii) general contractors' estimates, (iv) architect's certificates,
(v) unconditional lien waivers of general contractors, if available, (vi)
evidence of approval by all governmental authorities and other regulatory bodies
whose approval is required and (vii) such other certificates as Landlord may,
from time to time, reasonably require. Landlord's obligation under this Section
-------
11.2 to disburse the Award and such other amounts shall be subject to (x) the
----
collection thereof by Landlord and (y) during the last two (2) years of the
Term, the release of such Award by the applicable Hotel Mortgagee. Tenant's
obligation to restore the Leased Property shall be subject to the release of the
Award by the applicable Hotel Mortgagee to Landlord. If any Hotel Mortgagee
shall be unwilling to release such Award in accordance with this Agreement,
Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Agreement.
- 46 -
11.3 Abatement of Rent. Other than as specifically provided in this
-----------------
Agreement, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and Tenant's
obligation to make all payments of Rent and to pay all other charges as and when
required under this Agreement shall remain unabated during the Term
notwithstanding any Condemnation involving the Leased Property. The provisions
of this Article 11 shall be considered an express agreement governing any
----------
Condemnation involving the Leased Property and, to the maximum extent permitted
by law, no local or State statute, law, rule, regulation or ordinance in effect
during the Term which provides for such a contingency shall have any application
in such case.
11.4 Temporary Condemnation. In the event of any temporary Condemnation
----------------------
of the Leased Property or Tenant's interest therein, this Agreement shall
continue in full force and effect and Tenant shall continue to pay, in the
manner and on the terms herein specified, the full amount of the Rent. Tenant
shall continue to perform and observe all of the other terms and conditions of
this Agreement on the part of the Tenant to be performed and observed. Provided
no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the entire amount of any
Award made for such temporary Condemnation allocable to the Term, whether paid
by way of damages, rent or otherwise, shall be paid to Tenant. Tenant shall,
promptly upon the termination of any such period of temporary Condemnation, at
its sole cost and expense, restore the Leased Property to the condition that
existed immediately prior to such Condemnation, in full compliance with all
Legal Requirements, unless such period of temporary Condemnation shall extend
beyond the expiration of the Term, in which event Tenant shall not be required
to make such restoration. For purposes of this Section 11.4, a Condemnation
------------
shall be deemed to be temporary if the period of such Condemnation is not
expected to, and does not, exceed twelve (12) months.
11.5 Allocation of Award. Except as provided in Section 11.4 and the
------------------- ------------
second sentence of this Section 11.5, the total Award shall be solely the
------------
property of and payable to Landlord. Any portion of the Award made for the
taking of Tenant's leasehold interest in the Leased Property, loss of business
during the remainder of the Term, the taking of Tenant's Personal Property, or
Tenant's removal and relocation expenses shall be the sole property of and
payable to Tenant (subject to the provisions of Section 11.2). In any
------------
Condemnation proceedings, Landlord and Tenant shall each seek its own Award in
conformity herewith, at its own expense.
11.6 Effect on Other Leases. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant
----------------------
to this Article 11 shall not terminate or otherwise affect the Other Leases or
----------
Tenant's ability to extend the Other Leases pursuant to the terms and provisions
thereof.

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
---------------------
12.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the
-----------------
following events shall constitute an "Event of Default" hereunder:
----------------
(a) should Tenant fail to make any payment of the Rent or any other
sum (including, but not limited to, funding of the FF&E Reserve) payable
hereunder when due; or
(b) should Tenant fail to maintain the insurance coverages required
under Article 9 and such failure shall continue for ten (10) Business Days
---------
after Notice thereof (except that no Notice shall be required if any such
insurance coverages shall have lapsed); or
(c) should Tenant default in the due observance or performance of
any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained herein to be performed
or observed by it (other than as specified in clauses (a) and (b) above)
and such default shall continue for a period of fifteen (15) Business Days
after Notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that if
-------- -------
such default is susceptible of cure but such cure cannot be accomplished
with due diligence within such period of time and if, in addition, Tenant
commences to cure or cause to be cured such default within fifteen (15)
Business Days after Notice thereof from Landlord and thereafter prosecutes
the curing of such default with all due diligence, such period of time
shall be extended to such period of time (not to exceed an additional one
hundred eighty (180) days in the aggregate) as may be necessary to cure
such default with all due diligence; or
(d) should an event of default by Tenant or any Affiliated Person as
to Tenant occur and be continuing beyond the expiration of any applicable
cure period under any of the Incidental Documents, the Other Leases or the
Management Agreement; or
(e) should there occur a final unappealable determination by
applicable state authorities of the revocation or limitation of any
material license, permit, certification or approval required for the lawful
operation of the Hotel in accordance with its Permitted Use or the loss or
material limitation of any material license, permit, certification or
approval under any other circumstances under which Tenant is required to
cease its operation of the
- 48 -
Hotel in accordance with its Permitted Use at the time of such loss or
limitation; or
(f) should any material representation or warranty made by Tenant
or, at any time prior to the required assignment pursuant to Section 16.5,
------------
by the Seller (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) under or in connection
with this Agreement, any Incidental Document, the Other Leases or the
Purchase Agreement, or in any document, certificate or agreement delivered
in connection herewith or therewith prove to have been false or misleading
in any material respect on the date when made or deemed made and the same
shall continue for five (5) Business Days after Notice thereof from
Landlord; or
(g) should Tenant generally not be paying its debts as they become
due or should Tenant make a general assignment for the benefit of
creditors; or
(h) should any petition be filed by or against Tenant under the
Federal bankruptcy laws, or should any other proceeding be instituted by or
against Tenant seeking to adjudicate either a bankrupt or insolvent, or
seeking liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition
of either or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking the entry of an order for
relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other
similar official for Tenant or for any substantial part of the property of
Tenant and such proceeding is not dismissed within ninety (90) days after
institution thereof, or should Tenant take any action to authorize or
effect any of the actions set forth above in this paragraph; or
(i) should Tenant cause or institute any proceeding for its
dissolution or termination, except as contemplated by or in connection with
the assignment contemplated by Section 16.5; or
------------
(j) should the estate or interest of Tenant in the Leased Property or
any part thereof be levied upon or attached in any proceeding and the same
shall not be vacated or discharged within the later of (x) one hundred and
twenty (120) days after commencement thereof, unless the amount in dispute
is less than $250,000, in which case Tenant shall give notice to Landlord
of the dispute but Tenant may defend in any suitable way, and (y) thirty
(30) days after receipt by Tenant of Notice thereof from Landlord (unless
Tenant shall be contesting such lien or attachment in good faith in
accordance with Article 8); or
---------
- 49 -
(k) at any time after the assignment required by Section16.5, should
-----------
Tenant at any time cease to be a wholly owned direct or indirect
Subsidiary of Wyndham;
then, and in any such event, Landlord, in addition to all other remedies
available to it, may terminate this Agreement by giving Notice thereof to Tenant
and upon the expiration of the time, if any, fixed in such Notice, this
Agreement shall terminate and all rights of Tenant under this Agreement shall
cease. Landlord shall have and may exercise all rights and remedies available
at law and in equity to Landlord as a result of Tenant's breach of this
Agreement.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord may, in addition to
any other remedies provided herein, enter upon the Leased Property or any
portion thereof and take possession of any and all of Tenant's Personal
Property, if any, and the Records, without liability for trespass or conversion
(Tenant hereby waiv ing any right to notice or hearing prior to such taking of
possession by Landlord) and sell the same at public or private sale, after
giving Tenant reasonable Notice of the time and place of any public or private
sale, at which sale Landlord or its assigns may purchase all or any portion of
Tenant's Personal Property, if any, unless otherwise prohibited by law. Unless
otherwise provided by law and without intending to exclude any other manner of
giving Tenant reasonable notice, the requirement of reasonable Notice shall be
met if such Notice is given at least ten (10) days before the date of sale. The
proceeds from any such disposition, less all expenses incurred in connection
with the taking of possession, holding and selling of such property (including,
reasonable attorneys' fees) shall be applied as a credit against the
indebtedness which is secured by the security interest granted in Section 7.2.
-----------
Any surplus shall be paid to Tenant or as otherwise required by law and Tenant
shall pay any deficiency to Landlord, as Additional Charges, upon demand.
12.2 Remedies. None of (a) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to
--------
Section 12.1, (b) the repossession of the Leased Property or any portion
------------
thereof, (c) the failure of Landlord to re-let the Leased Property or any
portion thereof, nor (d) the reletting of all or any of portion of the Leased
Property, shall relieve Tenant of its liability and obligations hereunder, all
of which shall survive any such termination, repossession or re-letting. In the
event of any such termination, Tenant shall forthwith pay to Landlord all Rent
due and payable with respect to the Leased Property through and including the
date of such termination. Thereafter, Tenant, until the end of what would have
been the Term of this Agreement in the absence of such termination, and whether
or not the Leased Property or any portion thereof shall have been re-let, shall
be liable to Landlord for, and shall pay to Landlord, as current
- 50 -
damages, the Rent and other charges which would be payable hereunder for the
remainder of the Term had such termination not occurred, less the net proceeds,
if any, of any re-letting of the Leased Property, after deducting all reasonable
expenses in connection with such reletting, including, without limitation, all
repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, attorneys' fees,
advertising, expenses of employees, alteration costs and expenses of preparation
for such reletting. Tenant shall pay such current damages to Landlord monthly
on the days on which the Minimum Rent would have been payable hereunder if this
Agreement had not been so terminated with respect to such of the Leased
Property.
At any time after such termination, whether or not Landlord shall have
collected any such current damages, as liquidated final damages beyond the date
of such termination, at Landlord's election, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an
amount equal to the present value (discounted at the Interest Rate) of the
excess, if any, of the Rent and other charges which would be payable hereunder
from the date of such termination (assuming that, for the purposes of this
paragraph, annual payments by Tenant on account of Impositions and Additional
Rent would be the same as payments required for the immediately preceding twelve
calendar months, or if less than twelve calendar months have expired since the
Commencement Date, the payments required for such lesser period projected to an
annual amount) for what would be the then unexpired term of this Agreement if
the same remained in effect, over the fair market rental for the same period.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall, however, limit or prejudice the right
of Landlord to prove and obtain in proceedings for bankruptcy or insolvency an
amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at
the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, the damages are to be
proved, whether or not the amount be greater than, equal to, or less than the
amount of the loss or damages referred to above.
In case of any Event of Default, re-entry, expiration and dispossession by
summary proceedings or otherwise, Landlord may (a) relet the Leased Property or
any part or parts thereof, either in the name of Landlord or otherwise, for a
term or terms which may at Landlord's option, be equal to, less than or exceed
the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term and
may grant concessions or free rent to the extent that Landlord considers
advisable and necessary to relet the same, and (b) may make such reasonable
alterations, repairs and decorations in the Leased Property or any portion
thereof as Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, considers advisable
and necessary for the purpose of reletting the Leased Property; and the making
of such alterations, repairs and decorations shall not operate or be construed
to release Tenant from liability hereunder as aforesaid. Subject to the last
- 51 -
sentence of this paragraph, Landlord shall in no event be liable in any way
whatsoever for any failure to relet all or any portion of the Leased Property,
or, in the event that the Leased Property is relet, for failure to collect the
rent under such reletting. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Tenant hereby
expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted under any present or
future laws in the event of Tenant being evicted or dispossessed, or in the
event of Landlord obtaining possession of the Leased Property, by reason of the
occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default hereunder. Landlord
covenants and agrees, in the event of any termination of this Agreement as a
result of an Event of Default, to use reasonable efforts to mitigate its
damages.
12.3 Tenant's Waiver. IF THIS AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED PURSUANT TO SECTION
--------------- -------
12.1 OR 12.2, TENANT WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO A
------------
TRIAL BY JURY IN THE EVENT OF SUMMARY PROCEEDINGS TO ENFORCE THE REMEDIES SET
FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE 12, AND THE BENEFIT OF ANY LAWS NOW OR HEREAFTER IN FORCE
----------
EXEMPTING PROPERTY FROM LIABILITY FOR RENT OR FOR DEBT. IN ADDITION, TENANT
UNDERSTANDS, ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, IN THE EVENT THIS AGREEMENT IS
TERMINATED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12.1 OR 12.2, NEITHER THE RETAINED FUNDS (AS SUCH
--------------------
TERM IS DEFINED IN THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT) SHALL NOT BE PAID OR PAYABLE (TENANT
WAIVING, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND ITS AFFILIATED PERSONS, ALL CLAIMS AND CAUSES
OF ACTION WITH RESPECT THERETO).
12.4 Application of Funds. Any payments received by Landlord under any of
--------------------
the provisions of this Agreement during the existence or continuance of any
Event of Default (and any payment made to Landlord rather than Tenant due to the
existence of any Event of Default) shall be applied to Tenant's current and past
due obligations under this Agreement in such order as Landlord may determine or
as may be prescribed by the laws of the State.
12.5 Landlord's Right to Cure Tenant's Default. If an Event of Default
-----------------------------------------
shall have occurred and be continuing, Landlord, after Notice to Tenant (which
Notice shall not be required if Landlord shall reasonably determine immediate
action is necessary to protect person or property), without waiving or releasing
any obligation of Tenant and without waiving or releasing any Event of Default,
may (but shall not be obligated to), at any time thereafter, make such payment
or perform such act for the account and at the expense of Tenant, and may, to
the maximum extent permitted by law, enter upon the Leased Property or any
portion thereof for such purpose and take all such action thereon as, in
Landlord's sole and absolute discretion, may be necessary or appropriate
therefor. No such entry shall be deemed an eviction of Tenant. All reasonable
costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees)
incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, together with interest thereon (to
the
- 52 -
extent permitted by law) at the Overdue Rate from the date such sums are paid by
Landlord until repaid, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord, on demand.
ARTICLE 13
-----------
HOLDING OVER
------------
Any holding over by Tenant after the expiration or sooner termination of
this Agreement shall be treated as a daily tenancy at sufferance at a rate equal
to two (2) times the Minimum Rent and other charges herein provided (prorated on
a daily basis). Tenant shall also pay to Landlord all damages (direct or
indirect) sustained by reason of any such holding over. Otherwise, such holding
over shall be on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to the
extent applicable. Nothing contained herein shall constitute the consent,
express or implied, of Landlord to the holding over of Tenant after the
expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 14
-----------
LANDLORD'S NOTICE OBLIGATIONS; LANDLORD DEFAULT
-----------------------------------------------
14.1 Landlord Notice Obligation. Landlord shall give prompt Notice to
--------------------------
Tenant of any matters affecting the Leased Property of which Landlord receives
written notice or actual knowledge and, to the extent Tenant otherwise has no
notice or actual knowledge thereof, Landlord shall be liable for any liabilities
arising from the failure to deliver such Notice to Tenant.
14.2 Landlord's Default. If Landlord shall default in the performance or
------------------
observance of any of its covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement or
any obligation of Landlord, if any, under any agreement affecting the Leased
Property, the performance of which is not Tenant's obligation pursuant to this
Agreement, and any such default shall continue for a period of ten (10) days
after Notice thereof with respect to monetary defaults and thirty (30) days
after Notice thereof with respect to non-monetary defaults from Tenant to
Landlord and any applicable Hotel Mortgagee, or such additional period as may be
reasonably required to correct the same, Tenant may declare the occurrence of a
"Landlord Default" by a second Notice to Landlord and to such Hotel Mortgagee.
----------------
Thereafter, Tenant may forthwith cure the same and, subject to the provisions of
the following paragraph, invoice Landlord for costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) incurred by Tenant in curing the
same, together with interest thereon from the date
- 53 -
Landlord receives Tenant's invoice, at the Overdue Rate. Tenant shall have no
right to terminate this Agreement for any default by Landlord hereunder and no
right, for any such default, to offset or counterclaim against any Rent or other
charges due hereunder.
If Landlord shall in good faith dispute the occurrence of any Landlord
Default and Landlord, before the expiration of the applicable cure period, shall
give Notice thereof to Tenant, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis
therefor, no Landlord Default shall be deemed to have occurred and Landlord
shall have no obligation with respect thereto until final adverse determination
thereof; provided, however, that in the event of any such adverse determination,
-------- -------
Landlord shall pay to Tenant interest on any disputed funds at the Interest
Rate, from the date demand for such funds was made by Tenant until the date of
final adverse determination and, thereafter, at the Overdue Rate until paid. If
Tenant and Landlord shall fail, in good faith, to resolve any such dispute
within ten (10) days after Landlord's Notice of dispute, either may submit the
matter for resolution to a court of competent jurisdiction.
ARTICLE 15
-----------
PURCHASE RIGHTS
---------------
15.1 First Refusal to Purchase. Provided, (a) no Default or Event of
-------------------------
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (b) this Agreement shall be of
full force and effect, and (c) other than as expressly permitted by Section 16,
----------
Tenant shall not have assigned this Agreement (other than a collateral
assignment to or from a Leasehold Mortgagee or as contemplated by Section 16.5)
------------
or subleased all or any portion of the Leased Property, Tenant shall have a
first refusal option to purchase the Leased Property upon the same price, terms
and conditions as Landlord shall propose to sell the Leased Property, or upon
the same price, terms and conditions of any offer from a third party to purchase
the Leased Property which Landlord intends to accept (or has accepted subject to
Tenant's right of first refusal herein provided); provided, however, that, if
-------- -------
the proposed purchase price is for other than cash, Tenant shall have the right
to purchase the Leased Property on cash equivalent terms determined by the
agreement of the parties or, if they cannot agree within ten (10) Business Days,
by arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration
Association then in effect. If, during the Term, Landlord reaches such
agreement with a third party or proposes to offer the Leased Property for sale,
Landlord shall promptly give written notice to Tenant of the purchase price and
all other material terms and conditions of such agreement or proposed sale and
Tenant shall have sixty (60) days thereafter to
- 54 -
exercise Tenant's option to purchase by written notice to Landlord thereof.
Failure of Tenant to respond within such 60-day period shall be deemed a waiver
of Tenant's right to purchase the Leased Property with respect to such offer
pursuant to this Section 15.1. If Tenant exercises its option, the sale to
------------
Tenant shall be consummated upon the same terms and conditions as contained in
such agreement or Landlord's notice of the proposed sale. If Tenant shall not
exercise its option to purchase within the time period and in the manner above
provided, Landlord shall be free to sell the Leased Property to such third party
at the price and upon terms substantially similar to those offered to Tenant.
The rights granted to Tenant pursuant to this Section 15.1 shall not apply to
------------
any financing or sale-leaseback transaction or any transaction pursuant to which
Landlord is merged or consolidated with another Person; provided, however, that
-------- -------
any Person who shall acquire the Leased Premises shall acquire them subject to,
and shall be bound by, the provisions of this Section 15.1.
------------
15.2 Landlord's Option to Purchase the Tenant's Personal Property;
-------------------------------------------------------------
Transfer of Licenses. Landlord shall have the option to purchase Tenant's
--------------------
Personal Property, at the expiration or termination of this Agreement, for an
amount equal to the then net market value thereof (current replacement cost as
determined by appraisal less accumulated depreciation on Tenant's books
pertaining thereto), subject to, and with appropriate price adjustments for, all
equipment leases, conditional sale contracts, UCC-1 financing statements and
other encumbrances to which such Personal Property is subject. Upon the
expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement, Tenant shall use its best
efforts to transfer and assign to Landlord or its designee, or assist Landlord
or its designee in obtaining, any contracts, licenses, and certificates required
for the then operation of the Leased Property.
ARTICLE 16
-----------
SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT
-------------------------
16.1 Subletting and Assignment. Except as provided in Section 16.3 and
------------------------- ------------
Article 19, Tenant shall not, without Landlord's prior written consent (which
----------
consent may be given or withheld in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion),
assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise transfer this
Agreement or sublease (which term shall be deemed to include the granting of
concessions, licenses and the like), all or any part of the Leased Property or
suffer or permit this Agreement or the leasehold estate created hereby or any
other rights arising under this Agreement to be assigned, transferred,
mortgaged, pledged, hypothecated or encumbered, in whole or in part, whether
- 55 -
voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law, or permit the use or
operation of the Leased Property by anyone other than Tenant and the Manager, or
the Leased Property to be offered or advertised for assignment or subletting.
From and after the assignment required by Section 16.5, for purposes of this
------------
Section 16.1, an assignment of this Agreement shall be deemed to include any
------------
direct or indirect transfer of any interest in Tenant such that Tenant shall
cease to be a wholly owned direct or indirect Subsidiary of Wyndham or any
transaction pursuant to which Tenant is merged or consolidated with another
Entity or pursuant to which all or substantially all of Tenant's assets are
transferred to any other Entity, as if such change in control or transaction
were an assignment of this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing
-------- -------
shall not be construed to prohibit collateral assignments or pledges of the
capital stock of Tenant to Lending Institutions otherwise permitted by this
Agreement.
If this Agreement is assigned or if the Leased Property or any part thereof
are sublet (or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, the Manager and their
respective employees or hotel guests) Landlord may collect the rents from such
assignee, subtenant or occupant, as the case may be, and apply the net amount
collected to the Rent herein reserved, but no such col lection shall be deemed a
waiver of the provisions set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 16.1,
------------
the acceptance by Landlord of such assignee, subtenant or occupant, as the case
may be, as a tenant, or a release of Tenant from the future performance by
Tenant of its covenants, agreements or obligations contained in this Agreement.
No subletting or assignment shall in any way impair the continuing primary
liability of Tenant hereunder (unless Landlord and Tenant expressly otherwise
agree that Tenant shall be released from all obligations hereunder), and no
consent to any subletting or assignment in a particular instance shall be deemed
to be a waiver of the prohibition set forth in this Section 16.1. No assignment,
------------
subletting or occupancy shall affect any Permitted Use. Any subletting,
assignment or other transfer of Tenant's interest under this Agreement in
contravention of this Section 16.1 shall be voidable at Landlord's option.
------------
16.2 Required Sublease Provisions. Any sublease of all or any portion of
----------------------------
the Leased Property entered into on or after the date hereof shall provide (a)
that it is subject and subordinate to this Agreement and to the matters to which
this Agreement is or shall be subject or subordinate; (b) that in the event of
termination of this Agreement or reentry or dispossession of Tenant by Landlord
under this Agreement, Landlord may, at its option, terminate such sublease or
take over all of the right, title and interest of Tenant, as sublessor under
such sublease, and such subtenant shall, at Landlord's option, attorn to
- 56 -
Landlord pursuant to the then executory provisions of such sublease, except that
neither Landlord nor any Hotel Mortgagee, as holder of a mortgage or as Landlord
under this Agreement, if such mortgagee succeeds to that position, shall (i) be
liable for any act or omission of Tenant under such sublease, (ii) be subject to
any credit, counterclaim, offset or defense which theretofore accrued to such
subtenant against Tenant, (iii) be bound by any previous modification of such
sublease not consented to in writing by Landlord or by any previous prepayment
of more than one (1) month's Rent, (iv) be bound by any covenant of Tenant to
undertake or complete any construction of the Leased Property or any portion
thereof, (v) be required to account for any security deposit of the subtenant
other than any security deposit actually delivered to Landlord by Tenant, (vi)
be bound by any obligation to make any payment to such subtenant or grant any
credits, except for services, repairs, maintenance and restoration provided for
under the sublease that are performed after the date of such attornment, (vii)
be responsible for any monies owing by Tenant to the credit of such subtenant,
or (viii) be required to remove any Person occupying any portion of the Leased
Property; and (c), in the event that such subtenant receives a written Notice
from Landlord or any Hotel Mortgagee stating that an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, such subtenant shall thereafter be obligated to pay
all rentals accruing under such sublease directly to the party giving such
Notice or as such party may direct. All rentals received from such subtenant by
Landlord or the Hotel Mortgagee, as the case may be, shall be credited against
the amounts owing by Tenant under this Agreement and such sublease shall provide
that the subtenant thereunder shall, at the request of Landlord, execute a
suitable instrument in confirmation of such agreement to attorn. An original
counterpart of each such sublease and assignment and assumption, duly executed
by Tenant and such subtenant or assignee, as the case may be, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, shall be delivered promptly to
Landlord and (a) in the case of an assignment, the assignee shall assume in
writing and agree to keep and perform all of the terms of this Agreement on the
part of Tenant to be kept and performed and shall be, and become, jointly and
severally liable with Tenant for the performance thereof and (b) in case of
either an assignment or subletting, Tenant shall remain primarily liable, as
principal rather than as surety, for the prompt payment of the Rent and for the
performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions to be
performed by Tenant hereunder.
The provisions of this Section 16.2 shall not be deemed a waiver of the
------------
provisions set forth in the first paragraph of Section 16.1.
------------
16.3 Permitted Sublease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, including,
------------------
without limitation, Section 16.2, but subject to the
------------
- 57 -
provisions of Section 16.4 and any other express conditions or limitations set
------------
forth herein, Tenant may, in each instance after Notice to Landlord, sublease
space at the Leased Property for newsstand, gift shop, parking garage, health
club, restaurant, bar or commissary purposes or similar concessions in
furtherance of the Permitted Use, so long as such subleases do not demise, in
the aggregate, in excess of two thousand (2,000) square feet, will not violate
or affect any Legal Requirement or Insurance Requirement, and Tenant shall
provide such additional insurance coverage applicable to the activities to be
conducted in such subleased space as Landlord and any Hotel Mortgagee may
reasonably require.
16.4 Sublease Limitation. For so long as Landlord or any Affiliated
-------------------
Person as to Landlord shall seek to qualify as a real estate investment trust,
anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant
shall not sublet the Leased Property on any basis such that the rental to be
paid by any sublessee thereunder would be based, in whole or in part, on the
income or profits derived by the business activities of such sublessee any other
formula such that any portion of such sublease rental would fail to qualify as
"rents from real property" within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code, or
any similar or successor provision thereto or would otherwise disqualify
Landlord for treatment as a real estate investment trust.
16.5 Required Assignment. Upon the consummation of the initial public
-------------------
offering of the shares of WHC as currently contemplated for at least Twenty Five
Million Dollars ($25,000,000), the initial Tenant named herein shall be required
to assign its interest under this Agreement, directly or indirectly, to a
corporate subsidiary of WHC, wholly owned by WHC. Simultaneously with the
foregoing assignment, Wyndham shall execute and deliver to Landlord the Stock
Pledge Agreement, which pledge Landlord agrees to subordinate to the lien of a
Lending Institution as provided in this Agreement.
ARTICLE 17

17.1 Estoppel Certificates. At any time and from time to time, upon

------------
relied upon by the requesting party, its lenders and any prospective purchaser
or mortgagee of the Leased Property or the leasehold estate created hereby.
17.2 Financial Statements.

Property or any improvements thereon and/or any of such leases, whether or not
such mortgages or deeds of trust shall also cover other lands and/or buildings
and/or leases, to each and every advance made or hereafter to be made under such
mortgages and deeds of trust, and to all renewals, modifications, replacements
and extensions of such leases and such mortgages and deeds of trust and all
consolidations of such mortgages and deeds of trust. This section shall be
self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required
provided that Tenant has received a nondisturbance and attornment agreement from
each Superior Mortgagee, consistent with the provisions of this Section 20.2 and
------------
otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Tenant, the benefits
of which agreement shall also extend to any Leasehold Mortgagee. In
confirmation of such subordination, Tenant shall promptly execute, acknowledge
and deliver any instrument that Landlord, the lessor under any such lease or the
holder of any such mortgage or the trustee or beneficiary of any deed of trust
or any of their respective successors in interest may reasonably request to
evidence such subordination. Any lease to which this Agreement is, at the time
referred to, subject and subordinate is herein called "Superior Lease" and the

lessor of a Superior Lease or its successor in interest at the time referred to,
is herein called "Superior Landlord" and any mortgage or deed of trust to which
-----------------
this Agreement is, at the time referred to, subject and subordinate, is herein
called "Superior Mortgage" and the holder, trustee or beneficiary of a Superior
-----------------
Mortgage is herein called "Superior Mortgagee". Tenant shall have no

If any Superior Landlord or Superior Mortgagee or the nominee or
designee of any Superior Landlord or Superior Mortgagee shall succeed to the
rights of Landlord under this Agreement (any such person, "Successor Landlord"),
------------------
whether through possession or foreclosure action or delivery of a new lease or
deed, or otherwise, such Successor Landlord shall recognize Tenant's rights
under this Agreement as herein provided and Tenant shall attorn to and recognize
the Successor Landlord as Tenant's landlord under this Agreement and Tenant
shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that such Successor Landlord
may reasonably request to evidence such attornment (provided that such
instrument does not alter the terms of this
- 63 -
Agreement), whereupon, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as
a direct lease between the Successor Landlord and Tenant upon all of the terms,
conditions and covenants as are set forth in this Agreement, except that the
Successor Landlord (unless formerly the landlord under this Agreement or its
nominee or designee) shall not be (a) liable in any way to Tenant for any act or
omission, neglect or default on the part of any prior Landlord under this
Agreement, (b) responsible for any monies owing by or on deposit with any prior
Landlord to the credit of Tenant (except to the extent actually paid or
delivered to the Successor Landlord), (c) subject to any counterclaim or setoff
which theretofore accrued to Tenant against any prior Landlord, (d) bound by any
modification of this Agreement subsequent to such Superior Lease or Mortgage, or
by any previous prepayment of Minimum Rent or Additional Rent for more than one
(1) month in advance of the date due hereunder, which was not approved in
writing by the Superior Landlord or the Superior Mortgagee thereto, (e) liable
to Tenant beyond the Successor Landlord's interest in the Leased Property and
the rents, income, receipts, revenues, issues and profits issuing from the
Leased Property, (f) responsible for the performance of any work to be done by
the Landlord under this Agreement to render the Leased Property ready for
occupancy by Tenant (subject to Landlord's obligations under Section 5.1.2(b) or
----------------
with respect to any insurance or Condemnation proceeds), or (g) required to
remove any Person occupying the Leased Property or any part thereof, except if
such person claims by, through or under the Successor Landlord. Tenant agrees
at any time and from time to time to execute a suitable instrument in
confirmation of Tenant's agreement to attorn, as aforesaid and Landlord agrees
to provide Tenant with an instrument of nondisturbance and attornment from each
such Superior Mortgagee and Superior Landlord in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Tenant. Nothing contained in this Section 20.2 shall relieve
------------
Landlord from any liability to Tenant under this Agreement following the
exercise of remedies by a Superior Mortgage.
20.3 Notice to Mortgagee and Ground Landlord. Subsequent to the
---------------------------------------
receipt by Tenant of Notice from Landlord as to the identity of any Hotel
Mortgagee or ground lessor under a lease with Landlord, as ground lessee, which
includes the Leased Property as part of the demised premises and which complies
with Section 20.1 and 20.2 (which Notice shall be accompanied by a copy of the
---------------------
applicable mortgage or lease), no notice from Tenant to Landlord as to the
Leased Property shall be effective unless and until a copy of the same is given
to such Hotel Mortgagee or ground lessor at the address set forth in the above
described Notice, and the curing of any of Landlord's defaults by such Hotel
Mortgagee or ground lessor shall be treated as performance by Landlord.

and Tenant herein are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or
event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of Rent, or otherwise, shall
the Rent or any other amounts payable to Landlord under this Agreement exceed
the maximum permissible under applicable law, the benefit of which may be
asserted by Tenant as a defense, and if, from any circumstance whatsoever,
fulfillment of any provision of this Agreement, at the time performance of such
provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity
prescribed by law, or if from any circumstances Landlord should ever receive as
fulfillment of such provision such an excessive amount, then, ipso facto, the
---- -----
amount which would be excessive shall be applied to the reduction of the
installment(s) of Minimum Rent next due and not to the payment of such excessive
amount. This provision shall control every other provision of this Agreement
and any other agreements between Landlord and Tenant.
22.2 No Waiver. No failure by Landlord or Tenant to insist upon the
---------
strict performance of any term hereof or to exercise any right, power or remedy
consequent upon a breach thereof, and no acceptance of full or partial payment
of Rent during the

continuance of any such breach, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or
of any such term. To the maximum extent permitted by law, no waiver of any
breach shall affect or alter this Agreement, which shall continue in full force
and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach.
22.3 Remedies Cumulative. To the maximum extent permitted by law,

each legal, equitable or contractual right, power and remedy of Landlord or

Landlord or Tenant (as applicable) of any one or more of such rights, powers and
remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or subsequent exercise by Landlord
of any or all of such other rights, powers and remedies.
22.4 Severability. Any clause, sentence, paragraph, section or
------------
provision of this Agreement held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid, illegal or ineffective shall not impair, invalidate or nullify the

illegal or ineffective, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such
invalid, illegal or ineffective provisions had never been contained therein.

Agreement or of the Leased Property or any part thereof, or of any interest
therein, shall be valid or effective unless agreed to and accepted in writing by

of any such surrender.
22.6 No Merger of Title. It is expressly acknowledged and agreed

that it is the intent of the parties that there shall be no merger of this
Agreement or of the leasehold estate created hereby by reason of the fact that

occurred and be continuing, Tenant shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and
enjoy the Leased Property for the Term, free of hindrance or molestation by
Landlord or anyone claiming by, through or under Landlord, but subject to (a)
any Encumbrance permitted under Article 20 or otherwise permitted to be created
----------
by Landlord hereunder provided that the holder of such Encumbrance has, to the

------------
or a subordination agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to

that are either not yet due or which are being contested in good faith and by
proper proceedings, provided the same do not materially interfere with Tenant's
ability to operate the Hotel and (d) liens that have been consented to in
writing by Tenant. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no failure
by Landlord to comply with the foregoing covenant shall give Tenant any right to
cancel or terminate this Agreement or ▇▇▇▇▇, reduce or make a deduction from or

fail to perform any other obligation of Tenant hereunder.
