 ARTICLE II 
  
 TERM 
  
 2.01    Term 
  
 The term of this Agreement shall be from the
Effective Date to the expiration of the Term. With respect to the Inn, the “Term” shall consist of an “Initial Term” and the “Renewal Term(s).” The “Initial Term” shall begin on the Effective Date, and, unless
sooner terminated as provided in this Agreement, shall continue until the expiration of the twentieth (20th) Fiscal Year after the Opening Date. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the first full Fiscal Year after the Opening Date occurs shall be counted as the first of such twenty (20) Fiscal Years. The Term may thereafter
be renewed by Manager, at its option (on the same terms and conditions contained in this Agreement), for one (1) successive period of ten (10) Fiscal Years (“Renewal Term”). If Manager elects to exercise such option to renew, it shall
deliver written notice to the effect to Owner at least twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or the then current Renewal Term, as the case may be. 
  
 2.02    Owner’s Right to early Termination 
  
 A.    Subject to the provisions of subsections 2.02.B and 2.02.C, Owner shall have the right to terminate this Agreement if, in any period of two (2) consecutive Included Years
commencing after the last day of the third (3rd) full Fiscal Year after the Opening Date, annual
Operating Profit for each of such consecutive Included Years shall be less than Eight Hundred Thousand, Nine Hundred Twenty-Eight Dollars ($800,928.00). 
  
 B.    Owner may exercise its right to terminate this Agreement as set forth in Section 2.02.A by sending written notice to Manager within sixty (60) days after Owner receives the
annual statement described in Section 4.01.B for the second consecutive Included Year in such biannual period. If Manager does not elect to avoid Termination pursuant to subsection C below, this Agreement shall terminate at the close of the sixth
(6th) full Accounting Period following the date upon which Manager receives written notice of
Owner’s intent to terminate this Agreement. Owner’s failure to exercise its right to terminate the Agreement for such reason shall not be deemed and estoppel or a waiver of Owner’s right to terminate this Agreement at any subsequent
period of two (2) consecutive Included Years to which this Section may apply. 
  
 C.    Upon
receipt of Owner’s notice of its intention to terminate this Agreement for the reasons set forth in subsection A above, Manager shall have the option, subject to the limitation set forth in subsection 2.02.D, to avoid such Termination by paying
to Owner the amount by which the amount set forth in Section 2.02.A for each of the two (2) Included Years exceeds Operating Profit for the two (2) Included Years in question (a “Cure Amount”). Any amounts so paid by Manager shall not be
recoverable by Manager. Manager shall pay such Cure Amount to Owner within thirty (30) days after receipt of Owner’s notice of intent to terminate this Agreement, in which event Owner’s notice of intent to terminate shall be void and of no
force and effect and this Agreement shall not terminate. The voiding of such notice to terminate, 

 
 5 








 however, shall not affect the right of Owner, as to each subsequent Included Year to which subsection A applies, to again elect to terminate
this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.02 (which subsequent election shall again be subject to Manager’s rights under this subsection C); provided, however, that neither of the two (2) Included Years for which Manager has
paid a Cure Amount shall again be considered an Included Year for purposes of Section 2.02.A. If Manager does not exercise its option to make the payment permitted by this subsection C, then this Agreement shall be terminated as of the date set
forth in subsection B. 
  
 D.    Manager shall have the option to pay the Cure Amount and avoid
Termination as set forth in subsection 2.02.C twice. If the conditions giving rise to Owner’s right to terminate as set forth in subsection 2.02.A occur again after Manager has paid the Cure Amount a second time, Manager shall have no further
right to pay a Cure Amount and avoid such Termination. 
  
 ARTICLE III 
  
 COMPENSATION OF MANAGER 
  
 3.01    Management Fees 
  
 In
consideration of services to be performed during the Term of this Agreement, Manager shall be paid the sum of the following as its management fees: 
  
 A.    the Base Management Fee; plus 
  
 B.    the Residence Inn System Fee; plus 
  
 C.    the Incentive Management Fee. 
  
 Manager shall retain out of Gross Revenues an amount equal to the Base Management Fee plus the Residence Inn System Fee. 
  
 3.01    OPerating Profit 
  
 In each Fiscal Year,
Operating Profit shall be distributed to Owner and to Manager in the following order of priority: 
  
 A.    An amount equal to Owner’s Priority shall be paid to Owner; thereafter 
  
 B.    The Incentive Management Fee shall be paid to Manager; and thereafter 
  
 C.    Any remaining balance of Operating Profit shall be paid to Owner.

 ARTICLE IV 
  
 ACCOUNTING, BOOKKEEPING AND BANK ACCOUNTS 
  
 4.01    Accounting Interim Payment and Annual Reconciliation 
  
 A.    Within twenty (20) days after the close of each Accounting Period, Manager shall deliver an interim accounting to Owner showing Gross Revenues, Deductions, Operating Profit, and applications and
distributions thereof. Manager shall transfer with each accounting any interim amounts due Owner and shall retain any interim amounts due Manager under Section 3.01. 
  
 B.    Calculations and payments of the Incentive Management Fee, the Base Management Fee, the Residence Inn System Fee, and distributions of Operating
Profit made with respect to each Accounting Period within a Fiscal Year shall be accounted for cumulative. Within sixty (60) days after the end of each Fiscal Year, Manager shall deliver to Owner a statement in reasonable detail summarizing the
operations of the Inn for the immediately preceding Fiscal Year and a certificate of Manager’s chief accounting officer certifying that such year-end statement is true and correct. The parties shall, within five (5) business days after
Owner’s receipt of such statement, make any adjustments, by cash payment, in the amounts paid or retained for such Fiscal Year as are needed because of the final figures set forth in such statement. Such final accounting shall be controlling
over the interim accountings. No adjustment shall be made for any Operating Loss or Operating Profit in a preceding or subsequent Fiscal Year. 
  
 C.    To the extent there is an Operating Loss for any Accounting Period, additional funds in the amount of any such Operating Loss shall be provided by Owner within twenty (2) days
after Manager has delivered written notice thereof to Owner. If Owner does not so fund such Operating Loss within the twenty (20) day time period, Manager shall have the right (without affecting Manager’s other remedies under this Agreement) to
withdraw an amount equal to such Operating Loss from future disbursements of funds otherwise due to Owner. Furthermore, if Owner fails to fund a deficiency upon request by Manager, Manager may also withdraw interest upon such sum from the date
payment was due until repayment to Manager at a rate equal to the Prime Rate plus three (3) percentage points. 
  
 4.02    Books and Records 
  
 Books of control and account
pertaining to operations at the inns hall be kept on the accrual basis and in all material respects in accordance with the Uniform System of Accounts, with the exceptions provided in the Agreement. Owner may at reasonable intervals during
Manager’s normal business hours examine such records. If Owner desires, at its own expense, to audit, examine, or review the annual operating statement which is described in Section 4.01.B, Owner shall notify Manager in writing within sixty
(60) days after receipt of such statement of its intention to audit and begin such audit no sooner than thirty (30) days and no later than sixty (60) days after Manager’s receipt of such notice. Owner shall complete such audit within ninety
(90) days after commencement thereof. If Owner does not make such an audit, then such 

 
 7 








 statement shall be deemed to be conclusively accepted by Owner as being correct, and Owner shall have no right thereafter, except in the event
of fraud by Manager, to question or examine the same. If any audit by Owner discloses and understatement of any amounts due Owner, Manager shall promptly pay Owner such amounts found to be due, plus interest thereon (at the Prime Rate plus one
percent (1%) per annum) from the date such amounts should originally have been paid. If, however, the audit disclosed that Manager has not received any amounts due it, Owner shall pay Manager such amounts, plus interest thereon (at the Prime Rate
plus one percent (1%) per annum) from the date such amounts should originally have been paid. Any dispute concerning the correctness of an audit shall be settled by arbitration, in accordance with the then current rules of the American Arbitration
Association. 
  
 4.03  Accounts, Expenditures 
  
 A.  All escrow reserve accounts and funds derived from operation of the Inn shall b e deposited by Manager in a bank account(s)
in a bank designated by Manager. Withdrawals from said accounts shall be made solely by representatives of Manager whose signatures have been authorized. Reasonable petty cash funds shall be maintained at the Inn. 
  
 B.  All payments made by Manager hereunder shall be made from authorized bank accounts, petty cash funds, or from Working
Capital. Manager shall not be required to make any advance or payment to or for the account of Owner except out of such funds, and Manager shall not be obligated to incur any liability or obligation for Owner’s account without assurances
satisfactory to Manager that necessary funds for the discharge thereof will be provided by Owner. In any event, if any such liability or obligation is incurred by Manager for Owner’s account, Manager shall have the option to deduct such amounts
from Owner’s share of Operating Profit if Owner has not fully reimbursed Manager for said amounts within ten (10) days after Owner’s receipt of notice from Manager that said amounts are due. 
  
 C.  Debts and liabilities incurred by Manager as a result of its operation and management of the Inn pursuant to the terms
hereof, whether asserted before or after Termination, will be paid by Owner to the extent funds are not available for that purpose from Gross Revenues; Owner shall indemnify, defend and hold Manager harmless from and against all loss, costs,
liability, and damage (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising from Owner’s failure to pay such debts and liabilities; and the provisions of this Section 4.03.C shall survive Termination. 

 
 4.04  Annual Operating Projection 
  
 Manager shall deliver to Owner for its review, at least thirty (30) days prior to the beginning of each Fiscal Year after the first Fiscal Year following the Opening Date,
and “Annual Operating Projection.” Such projection shall project the estimated Gross Revenues, departmental profits, Deductions, and Operating Profit for the forthcoming Fiscal Year for the Inn. Manager shall endeavor to adhere to the
Annual Operating Projection. It is understood, however, that the Annual Operating Projection is an estimate only and that unforeseen circumstances such as, but not limited to, the costs of labor, material, services and supplies, casualty, operation
of law, or economic and market conditions may make adherence to the 

 
 8 








 Annual Operating Projection impracticable, and Manager shall be entitled to depart therefrom due to causes of the foregoing nature.

  
 4.05  Working Capital 
  
 Owner shall from time to time during the Term promptly, but no later than ten (10) days after request by Manager, advance any additional funds, over and above those
required pursuant to the Addendum attached hereto, necessary to maintain Working Capital at levels determined by Manager to be reasonably necessary to satisfy the needs of the Inn as its operation may from time to time require. All funds so advanced
for Working Capital shall be utilized by Manager on behalf of Owner for the purposes of this Agreement pursuant to cash-management policies established for the System. Upon Termination, Manager shall, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement,
return to Owner any unused Working Capital. 
  
 4.06  Fixed Asset Supplies 

 
 Owner shall from time to time during the Term promptly, but no later than twenty (20) days after written request by Manager,
advance any additional funds, over and above those required pursuant to the Addendum attached hereto, necessary to maintain Fixed Asset Supplies at levels determined by Manager to be necessary to satisfy the needs of the Inn as its operation may
from time to time require. Fixed Asset Supplies shall remain the property of Owner throughout the term of this Agreement and upon Termination except for Fixed Asset Supplies purchased by Manager pursuant to Section 11.11.E.

 REPAIRS, MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENTS 
  
 5.01 Repairs and Maintenance to be Paid
from Gross Revenues 
  
 Manager shall maintain the Inn in good repair and condition and in conformity with
applicable laws and regulations and shall make or cause to be made such routing maintenance, repairs and minor alterations as it determines are necessary for such purposes. The phrase “routine maintenance, repairs, and minor alterations”
as used in this Section 5.01 shall include only those which are normally expensed under generally accepted accounting principles. The cost of such maintenance, repairs and alterations shall be paid from Gross Revenues (and not from the Reserve) and
shall be treated as a Deduction in determining Operating Profit. 
  
 5.02  Repairs, Maintenance and
Equipment Replacements to be Paid from Reserve 
  
 A.     Manager shall establish an
escrow reserve account (the “Reserve”), in a bank or similar institution reasonably acceptable to both Manager and Owner, to cover the cost of: 
  
 1.  replacements and renewals related to the FF&E at the Inn; and 

 
 9 








  
 2.  routine or non-major repairs and maintenance to the Buildings which
are normally capitalized (as opposed to expensed) under generally accepted accounting principles, such as exterior and interior repainting; resurfacing building walls, floors, roofs and parking areas; and replacing folding walls and the like.

  
 B.    During the first Fiscal Year, Manager shall transfer into the Reserve an amount equal
to one percent (1%) of Gross Revenues for such Fiscal Year; during the second Fiscal Year, Manager shall transfer into the Reserve an amount equal to three percent (3%) of Gross Revenues for such Fiscal Year; commencing with the beginning of the
third Fiscal Year and for all Fiscal Years thereafter; subject to the provisions of subsection E below, Manager shall transfer into the Reserve an amount equal to five percent (5%) of Gross Revenues for each such Fiscal Years. Transfers into the
Reserve shall be made at the time of each interim accounting described in Section 4.01 hereof. All amounts transferred to the Reserve shall be deducted from Gross Revenues in determining Operating Profit and shall be deposited in the special Reserve
account described in Section 5.02.A. 
  
 C.    Manager shall from time to time make such (1)
replacements and renewals to the FF&E of the Inn, and (2) repairs to each Building of the nature described in Section 5.02.A.2, as it deems necessary, up to the balance in the Reserve. No expenditures will be made in excess of said balance
without the approval of Owner. At the end of each Fiscal Year, any amounts remaining in the Reserve shall be carried forward to the next Fiscal Year. Proceeds from the sale of FF&E no longer necessary to the operation of the Inn shall be added
to the Reserve. The Reserve will be kept in an interest-bearing account, and any interest which accrues thereon shall be retained in the Reserve. Neither (1) proceeds from the disposition of FF&E, nor (2) interest which accrues on amounts held
in the Reserve, shall (a) result in any reduction in the required contributions to the Reserve set forth in subsection B above, nor (b) be included in Gross Revenues. 
  
 D.    Manager shall prepare an estimate (“Repairs and Equipment Estimate”) of the expenditures necessary for (1) replacements and renewals to
the FF&E of the Inn, and (2) repairs to each Building of the nature described in Section 5.02.A.2, during the ensuing Fiscal Year and shall deliver the Repairs and Equipment Estimate to Owner at the same time it submits the Annual Operating
Projection described in Section 4.05. The Repairs and Equipment Estimate shall also indicate the estimated time schedule for making such replacements and renewals. 
  
 E.    As the Inn ages, these percentages may not be sufficient to keep the Reserve at the levels necessary to make the replacements and renewals to the
FF&E of the Inn, or to make the repairs to the Buildings of the nature described in Section 5.02.A.2, which are required to maintain the Inn in accordance with Manager’s standards therefor. If the Repairs and Equipment Estimated prepared in
good faith by Manager exceeds the available funds in the Reserve, Owner shall: 
  
 1.  
agree in writing to increase the annual percentage in Section 5.02.B to provide the additional funds required, or 

 
 10 








  
 2.  make a lump sum contribution to the Reserve in the necessary
amount; such amount shall be fully repaid without interest to Owner from Gross Revenues in equal installments over the period of the next sixty-five (65) Accounting Periods, and such installment repayments shall be Deductions. 

 
 A failure or refusal by Owner to either agree in writing to 1 above or provide the additional funds required in accordance with
2 above within sixty (60) days after Manager’s request therefor shall entitle Manager to notify Owner in writing that it will terminate this Agreement and this Agreement shall terminate as of the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after
the date of Owner’s receipt of Manager’s notice. 
  
 5.03  Major Repairs, Alterations,
Improvements, Renewals and Replacements to be Funded by Owner 
  
 A.    Manager shall
prepare an annual estimate (the “Building Estimate”) of the expenses necessary for nonroutine or major repairs, alterations, improvements, renewals and replacements (which repairs, alterations, improvements, renewals and replacements are
not among those referred to in Section 5.02.A.2) to the Inn including, without limitation, the structure, the exterior façade, the mechanical, electrical, heating, ventilating, air conditioning, plumbing or vertical transportation elements of
each of the Inn buildings, and other nonroutine repairs and maintenance to the Buildings. Manager shall submit the Building Estimate to Owner for its approval at the same time the Annual Operating Projection is submitted. Manager shall not make any
expenditures for such purposes without the prior written consent of Owner unless otherwise permitted herein. Owner shall not unreasonably withhold its consent with respect to such changes, repairs, alterations, improvements, renewals or replacements
to the Inn as are (1) required, in Manager’s reasonable judgment, to keep the Inn in a first-class, competitive, efficient and economical operating condition, or (2) required by reason of any law, ordinance, regulation, or order of a
governmental authority having jurisdiction, or otherwise required for the continued safe and orderly operation of the Inn, including the removal of Hazardous Materials in compliance with all Environmental Laws (as more particularly described in
Section 11.08). In the event of the receipt by Manager of a governmental order or other circumstances described in (2) above, Manager shall give Owner notice thereof within five (5) business days thereafter or sooner if circumstances reasonably
warrant; Manager shall be authorized to take appropriate remedial action without receiving Owner’s prior consent as follows: (i) in an emergency threatening the Inn, its guests, invitees or employees; or (ii) if the continuation of the given
condition will subject Manager and/or Owner to civil or criminal liability, and Owner has either failed to remedy the situation or has failed to take appropriate legal action to stay the effectiveness of any such law, ordinance, regulation or order.
Manager shall cooperate with Owner in the pursuit of any such action and shall have the right to participate therein. 
  
 B.    The cost of all repairs, alterations, improvements, renewals or replacements referred to in this Section 5.03 (including the expenses incurred by either Owner or Manager in connection with any civil or
criminal proceeding described above shall be borne solely by Owner, and shall not be paid from Gross Revenues nor from the Reserve. 

 
 11 








  
 C.    If Owner fails to approve and fund any proposed
expenditures described in Section 5.03.A(1) or (2) within sixty (60) days after the submission to Owner of the request therefor, Manager shall have the option of terminating this Agreement upon six (6) months’ written notice to Owner.

  
 5.04  Ownership of Replacements 
  

All repairs, alterations, improvements, renewals or replacements made pursuant to Article V, and all amounts kept in the Reserve, shall, except as otherwise provided
in this Agreement, be the property of Owner. 
  
 ARTICLE VI 
  
 INSURANCE, DAMAGE, CONDEMNATION AND FORCE MAJEURE 
  
 6.01  Insurance 
  
 A.    Manager shall,
commencing with the Opening Date and thereafter during the Term of the Agreement, procure and maintain, either with insurance companies of recognized responsibility or by legally qualifying itself as a self insurer, a minimum of the following
insurance: 
  
 1.  Property insurance on the Building(s) and contents against loss or damage by fire,
lightning and all other risks covered by the usual extended coverage endorsement, all in an amount not less than ninety percent (90%) of the replacement cost thereof; 
  
 2.  Boiler and machinery insurance against loss or damage from explosion of boilers or pressure vessels to the extent applicable to the Inn; 

 
 3.  Business interruption insurance covering loss of profits and necessary continuing expenses for interruptions
caused by any occurrence covered by the insurance referred to in Sections 6.01.A.1 and 2 of a type and in amounts as are generally established by Manager at similar inns it owns, leases or manages under the Residence Inn name in the United States;

  
 4.  General liability insurance against claims for bodily injury, death or property damage occurring
on, in, or about the Inn, and automobile liability insurance on vehicles operated in conjunction with the Inn, with a combined single limit for each occurrence of not less than Twenty Five Million ($25,000,000); 
  
 5.  Workers’ compensation and employer’s liability insurance as may be required under applicable laws covering all of
Manager’s employees at the Inn; 
  
 6.  Fidelity bonds, with reasonable limits to be determined by
Manager, covering its employees in job classifications normally bonded in other similar inns it leases or 

 
 12 








 managers under the Residence Inn name in the United States or as otherwise required by law, and comprehensive crime insurance to the extent
Manager and Owner mutually agree it is necessary for the Inn; and 
  
 7.  Such other insurance in amounts
as Manager in its reasonable judgment deems advisable for protection against claims, liability and losses arising out of or connected with the operation of the Inn. 
  
 B.    All insurance described in Section 6.01.A may be obtained by Manager by endorsement or equivalent means under its blanket insurance policies,
provided that such blanket policies substantially fulfill the requirements specified in this Agreement. 
  
 C.    Manager may self insure or otherwise retain such risks or portions thereof as it does with respect to other similar inns it owns, leases or manages under the Residence Inn name in the United States.

  
 D.    All policies of insurance required under Section 6.01.A shall be carried in the name of
Manager. The policies required under Sections 6.01.A.1, 2, 3 and 4 shall include the Owner as an additional insured. Upon notice by the Owner, Manager shall also have the policies required under Sections 6.01.a.1, 2, and 3 include any Mortgagee on
the Inn as an additional insured. Any property losses thereunder shall be payable to the respective parties as their interests may appear. Any Mortgage on the Inn shall contain provisions to the effect that proceeds of the insurance policies
required to be carried under Sections 6.01.A.1 and 2 shall be available for repair and restoration of the Inn. 
  
 E.    Manager shall deliver to Owner certificates of insurance with respect to all policies so procured and, in the case of insurance policies about to expire, shall deliver certificates with respect to the
renewal thereof. All certificates of insurance provided for under this Section 9.01 shall, to the extent obtainable, state that the insurance shall not be canceled or materially changed without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to
the certificate holder. 
  
 F.    Insurance premiums and any other costs or expenses with respect
to the insurance or self-insurance required under Section 6.01.A, including any Insurance Retention (as defined below), shall be paid from Gross Revenues as Deductions. Such premiums and costs shall be allocated on an equitable basis to the inns
participating under Manager’s blanket insurance or self-insurance programs. Any additional reserves, losses, costs or expenses which are not covered by the insurance provided for in this Agreement shall be paid by Owner from its own funds and
not from Gross Revenues or from the Reserve. Upon Termination, an escrow fund in an amount acceptable to Manager shall be established from Gross Revenues to cover the amount of any Insurance Retention and all other costs which will eventually have
to be paid by either Owner or Manager with respect to pending or contingent claims, including those which arise after Termination for causes arising during the Term of the Agreement. If Gross Revenues are insufficient to meet the requirements of
such escrow fund, then Owner shall deliver to Manager, within ten (10) days after receipt of Manager’s written request therefor, the sums necessary to establish such escrow fund; and if Owner fails to timely deliver such sums to Manager,
Manager shall have the right (without affecting Manager’s other remedies under this Agreement) to 

 
 13 








  
 withdraw the amount of such expenses from the Reserve, the Working Capital funds or any other funds of
Owner held by or under the control of Manager. For purposes of this Section 6.01.F, “Insurance Retention” shall mean the amount of any loss or reserve under Manager’s blanket insurance or self-insurance programs which is allocated to
the Inn, not to exceed the higher of (A) the maximum per occurrence limit established for similar hotels participating in such programs, or (B) the insurance policy deductible on any loss which may fall within high hazard classifications as mandated
by the insurer (e.g., earthquake, flood, windstorm on coastal properties, etc.). If the Inn is not a participant under Manager’s blanket insurance or self-insurance programs, “Insurance Retention” shall mean the amount of any loss or
reserve allocated to the Inn, not to exceed the insurance policy deductible. 
  
 6.02    Damage and Repair 
  
 A.    If during
the Term, the Inn is damaged or destroyed by fire, casualty or other cause, Owner shall, at its cost and expense and with all reasonable diligence, repair or replace the damaged or destroyed portion of the Inn to the same condition as it existed
previously and Manager shall have the right to discontinue operating the Inn to the extent it deems necessary to comply with applicable law, ordinance, regulation or order or as necessary for the safe and orderly operation of the Inn. To the extent
available, proceeds from the insurance described in this Agreement shall be applied to such repairs or replacements. 
  
 B.    In the event damage or destruction to the Inn from any cause materially and adversely affects the operation of the Inn and Owner fails to promptly commence and complete the repairing, rebuilding or
replacement of the same so that the Inn shall be substantially the same as it was prior to such damage or destruction, Manager may, at its option, elect to either undertake such work for the account of Owner or terminate the Agreement by written
notice to Owner and this Agreement shall terminate on the date that is sixty (60) days after receipt of such written notice by Owner. 
  
 6.03    Condemnation 
  
 A.    In the
even all or substantially all of the Inn shall be taken in any eminent domain, condemnation, compulsory acquisition, or similar proceeding by any competent authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, or in the event a portion of the Inn
shall be so taken, but the result is that it is unreasonable to continue to operate the Inn in accordance with the standards required by this Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate. Owner and Manager shall each have the right to initiate such
proceedings as they deem advisable to recover any damages to which they may be entitled. 
  
 B.    In the event a portion of the Inn shall be taken by the events described in Section 6.03 A, or the entire Inn is affected but on a temporary basis, and the result is not to make it unreasonable to continue
to operate the Inn, this Agreement shall not terminate. However, so much of any award for any such partial taking or condemnation as shall be necessary to render the Inn equivalent to its condition prior to such event shall be used for such purpose;
and Manager shall have the right to discontinue operating the Inn to the extent it deems necessary for the safe and orderly operation of the Inn. 

 
 14 








  
 6.04    Force Majeure 
  
 If acts of God, acts of war, civil disturbance, or governmental action, including the withdrawal or revocation of any license or
revocation of any license or permit that materially affects the operation of the Inn when such withdrawal or revocation is not due to Manager’s fault, or any other causes beyond the control of Manager (collectively, “Force Majeure”)
shall, in Manager’s reasonable opinion, have a significant adverse effect upon operations of the Inn, then Manager shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement on sixty (60) days written notice to Owner. 
  
 ARTICLE VII

 7.01    Real Estate and Personal Property Taxes

  
 A.    Except as specifically set forth in subsection B below, all real estate and
personal property taxes, levies, assessments and similar charges on or relating to the Inn “Impositions”) during he Term shall be paid by Manager from Gross Revenues, before any fine, penalty, or interest is added thereto or lien placed

furnish Manager with copies of official tax bills and assessments which it may receive with respect to the Inn. Either Owner or Manager (in which case Owner agrees to sign the required applications and otherwise cooperate with Manager in expediting
the matter) may initiate proceedings to contest any negotiations or proceedings with respect to any Imposition, and all reasonable costs of any such contest shall be paid from Gross Revenues and shall be a Deduction in determining Operating Profit.
Manager shall, as part of its contest or negotiation of any Imposition, be entitled, on Owner’s behalf, to waive any applicable statute of limitations in order to avoid paying the Imposition during the pendency of any proceedings or
negotiations with applicable authorities. 
  
 B.    The work “Impositions” as used in
this Agreement shall not include the following, all of which shall be paid solely by Owner, not from Gross Revenues nor from the Reserve: 
  
 1.    Any franchise, corporate, estate, inheritance, succession, capital levy or transfer tax imposed on Owner, or any income tax imposed on any income of Owner (including distributions to Owner pursuant
to Article III hereof); 
  
 2.    Special assessments (regardless of when due or whether they are
paid as a lump sum or in installments over time) imposed because of facilities which are constructed by or on behalf of the assessing jurisdiction (for example, roads, sidewalks, sewers, culverts, etc.) which directly benefit the Inn (regardless of
whether or not they also benefit other buildings), which assessments shall be treated as capital costs of construction and not as Deductions; 

 
 15 








  
 3.    “Impact Fees” (regardless of when due or
whether they are paid as a lump sum or in installments over time) which are required of Owner as a condition to the issuance of site plan approval, zoning variances or building permits, which impact fees shall be treated as capital costs of
construction and not as Deductions; or 
  
 4.    “Tax-increment financing” or similar
financing whereby the municipality or other taxing authority has assisted in financing the construction of the Inn by temporarily reducing or abating normal Impositions in return for substantially higher levels of Impositions at later dates.

 8.01    Ownership of the Inn 
  
 A.    Owner
hereby covenants that it holds good and marketable fee title to the Site and that, upon completion of the Inn, it will have, keep, and maintain good and marketable fee title to the Inn free and clear of any and all liens, encumbrances or other
charges, except as follows: 
  
 1.    Any franchise, corporate, estate, inheritance, succession,
capital levy or transfer tax imposed on Owner, or any income tax imposed on any income of Owner (including distributions to Owner pursuant to Article III hereof); 
  
 2.    Special assessments (regardless of when due or whether they are paid as a lump sum or in installments over time) imposed because of facilities
which are constructed by or on behalf of the assessing jurisdiction (for example, roads, sidewalks, sewers, culverts, etc.) which directly benefit the Inn (regardless of whether or not they also benefit other buildings), which assessments shall be
treated as capital costs of construction and not as Deductions; 
  
 3.    “Impact Fees”
(regardless of when due or whether they are paid as a lump sum or in installments over time) which are required of Owner as a condition to the issuance of site plan approval, zoning variances or building permits, which impast fees shall be treated
as capital costs of construction and not as Deductions; or 
  
 4.    “Tax-increment
financing” or similar financing whereby the municipality or other taxing authority has assisted in financing the construction of the Inn by temporarily reducing or abating normal Impositions in return for substantially higher levels of
Impositions at later dates.

 ARTICLE VIII 
  
 OWNERSHIP OF THE INN 
  
 8.01    Ownership of the Inn 
  
 A.    Owner
hereby covenants that it holds good and marketable fee title to the Site and that, upon completion of the Inn, it will have, keep, and maintain good and marketable fee title to the Inn free and clear of any and all liens, encumbrances or other
charges, except as follows: 
  
 1.    easements or other encumbrances (other than those described
in subsections 2 and 3 hereof) that do not adversely affect the operation of the Inn by Manager and that are not prohibited pursuant to Section 8.03 of this Agreement; 
  
 2.    the First Mortgage or any replacement Mortgage and its related security instruments, provided that each of them contain a provision that has been
previously approved in writing by Manager’s counsel that this Agreement will not be subject to forfeiture or Termination other than in accordance with the terms hereof, notwithstanding a default under the First Mortgage or any replacement
Mortgage; or 
  
 3.    liens for taxes, assessments, levies or other public charges not yet due
or due but not yet payable. 
  
 B.    Owner shall pay and discharge, on or before the due date,
any and all (1) installments of principal and interest due and payable upon the First Mortgage, and (2) payments due under any other Mortgage that Owner has, with the prior written consent of Manager, entered into with respect to the Inn. Owner
shall indemnify, defend and hold Manager harmless from and against all claims, litigation and damages arising from the failure to make any such payments as and when required; and this obligation of Owner shall survive Termination. Manager shall have
no responsibility for payment of debt service due with respect to the Inn, from Gross Revenues or otherwise, and such responsibility shall be solely that of Owner. 
  
 C.    The parties recognize that, in the event of a foreclosure of any Mortgage encumbering the Inn, Manager will suffer damage to its reputation,
notwithstanding the fact that (a) Manager has no ownership interest in the Inn, or (b) Manager continues to operate the Inn after such foreclosure pursuant tot he provisions of the First Mortgage or any replacement Mortgage as described in Section
8.01.A.2 or the “Subordination Agreement” generally described in Section 8.02 below. Accordingly, Owner agrees that it will not encumber the Inn with any mortgage indebtedness (including, but not limited to, the First Mortgage), nor any
refinancing thereof, unless and until Manager has approved in writing the terms and conditions of such indebtedness, which approval shall be based on Manager’s good faith judgment that the projected Operating Profit of the Inn in subsequent
Fiscal Years will be adequate to pay the debt service with respect to all indebtedness encumbering the Inn. 
  
 Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Manager shall not withhold its approval of the amount of proposed Mortgage indebtedness if distributions of Operating Profit to Owner for the most recent 

 
 17 








  
 two (2) full Fiscal Years equaled or exceeded annual debt service on the proposed new mortgage
indebtedness to remain on the Inn, by at least one hundred fifty percent (150%). 
  
 D.    Owner
covenants that, so long as Manager is not in Default under this Agreement, Manager shall quietly hold, occupy and enjoy the Inn throughout the Term hereof free from hindrance, ejection or molestation by Owner or other party claiming under, through
or by right of Owner. Owner agrees to pay and discharge any payments and charges and, at its expense, to prosecute al appropriate actions, judicial or otherwise, necessary to assure such free and quiet occupation. 
  
 8.02     Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment 
  
 A.    It shall be a condition of Manager’s obligations under this Agreement that, prior to the Opening Date,
Manager and the First Mortgagee shall execute an instrument (the “Subordination Agreement”) satisfactory in all respect to both parties, which shall be recordable in the jurisdiction where the Inn is located, pursuant to which:

  
 1.    This Agreement and any extensions, renewals, replacements or modifications thereto, and
all right and interest of Manager in and to the Inn, shall be subject and subordinate to the First Mortgage; 
  
 2.    Manager shall be obligated to each of the Subsequent Owners to perform all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement for the balance of the remaining Term hereof, with the same force and effect as if
such Subsequent Owner were the Owner; and 
  
 3.    In the event that there is a foreclosure of
the First Mortgage (or a deed in lieu of foreclosure), or other exercise by the First Mortgagee of its remedies in the event of default, in connection with which title or possession of the Inn is transferred to the First Mortgagee (or its designee)
or to a purchaser at foreclosure or to a subsequent purchaser from the First Mortgagee (or from its designee) (all of the foregoing shall collectively be referred to as “Subsequent Owners”), Manager shall not be disturbed in its rights
under this Agreement so long as Manager is not in Default hereunder. 
  
 B.    In the event that
the Subordination Agreement contains provisions requiring Manager (upon a default under the First Mortgage, or upon various other stipulated conditions) to pay certain amounts which are otherwise due to Owner under this Agreement to the First
Mortgagee or its designee (rather than to Owner), or if the Subordination Agreement contains other provisions under which Manager could be required to perform certain actions which are inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, Owner hereby
gives its consent to such provisions, which consent shall be deemed to be irrevocable until the entire debt secured by the First Mortgage has been discharged. 
  
 C.    Prior to encumbering the Inn or the Site with any mortgage indebtedness other than the First Mortgage, Owner shall be obligated to obtain from the Mortgagee an executed,
recordable agreement in substantially the same form as the Subordination Agreement, which Manager agrees to execute for the benefit of such mortgagee. If Owner encumbers the Inn or the 

 
 18 








  
 Site with mortgage indebtedness without first obtaining such an agreement for the mortgagee, it shall be
a Default of Owner under this Agreement, entitled Manager to all of the remedies set forth in Article IX. In addition, any mortgagee indebtedness described in the preceding sentence shall be subject and subordinate to Manager’s rights under
this Agreement, and this fact shall be stated in the memorandum described in Section 11.05 of this Agreement. 
  
 8.03    No Covenants, Conditions or Restrictions 
  
 A.    Owner covenants that, as of the Opening Date and during the Term of this Agreement, there will not be (unless Manager has given its prior written consent thereto) any covenants, conditions or restrictions,
including reciprocal easement agreements or cost-sharing arrangements (collectively referred to as “CC&R’s”) affecting the Site or the Inn (i) which would prohibit or limit Manager from operating the Inn in accordance with the
standards of this Agreement, including related amenities proposed for the Inn; or (ii) which would all Inn facilities (for example, parking spaces) to be used by persons other than guests, invitees or employees of the Inn. 
  
 B.    All financial obligations imposed on Owner or on the Inn pursuant to any CC&R’s shall be paid by Owner
from its own funds, and not from Gross Revenues or from the Reserve, unless Manager has given its prior written consent to such CC&R’s. 
  
 8.04    Liens; Credit 
  
 Manager and Owner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any liens from being filed against the Inn which arise from any maintenance, repairs, alterations, improvements, renewals or replacements in or to the Inn.
They shall cooperate fully in obtaining the release of any such liens, and the cost thereof, if the lien was not occasioned by the fault of either party, shall be treated the same as the cost of the matter to which it relates. If the lien arises as
a result of the fault of either party, then the party at fault shall bear the cost of obtaining the lien release. In no event shall either party borrow money in the name or pledge the credit of the other. 
  
 ARTICLE IX

described under this subsection F, said Event of Default shall be deemed a “Default” under this Agreement if the defaulting party fails to cure the Event of Default within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from the
non-defaulting party demanding such cure, or, if the Event of Default is such that it cannot reasonably be cured within said thirty (30) day period of time, if the defaulting party fails to commence the cure of such Event of Default within said
thirty (30) day period of time or thereafter fails to diligently pursue such efforts to completion.

 C.    If Manager is the defaulting party with respect to a Default as described under Section 9.01, Owner shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.02.A above (and subject to Section
9.02.B) only if a court of competent jurisdiction issues a final determination (subject to no further appeal) that monetary damages alone are inadequate to compensate Owner for such Default. 
  
 9.03  Additional Remedies 
  
 A.    Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by either party under the provisions of Section 9.01.D, the amount owed to the non-defaulting party shall accrue interest, at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate
plus three (3) percentage points, from and after the date on which such payment was originally due to the non-defaulting party. 
  
 B.    Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by Owner under the provisions of Section 9.01.D, Manager shall have the right (without affecting Manager’s other remedies under this Agreement) to withdraw the
amount (plus accrued interest as described in 9.03.A above) owed to Manager by Owner from distributions otherwise payable to Owner pursuant to Sections 3.01 and 4.01 of this Agreement. 
  
 C.    Manager and/or any Affiliate shall be entitled, in case of any breach of the covenants of Sections 11.11.E, F or G or 11.12 by Owner or others
claiming through it, to injunctive relief and to any other right or remedy available at law. The provisions of this Section 9.03.C shall survive Termination. 
  
 D.    The rights granted under this Article IX shall not be in substitution for, but shall be in addition, to, any and all rights and remedies available to the non-defaulting party
(including, without limitation, injunctive relief and damages) by reason of applicable provisions of law or equity.

 ARTICLE X 
  
 ASSIGNMENT AND SALE 
  
 10.01  Assignment 
  
 A.    Manager shall not assign or
transfer its interest in this Agreement without the prior written consent of Owner; provided, however, that Manager shall have the right, without Owner’s consent, to (1) assign its interest in this Agreement to Marriott or any Affiliate, (2)
lease shops or grant concessions at the Inn so long as the terms of any such leases or concessions do not exceed the Term of this Agreement, (3) assign its interest in this Agreement in connection with a merger or consolidation or a sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of Manager or Marriott, and (4) assign its interest in this Agreement in connection with a merger or consolidation or a sale of all or substantially all of the System assets owned by Manager, Marriott or any
Affiliate. 
  
 B.    Owner shall not assign or transfer its interest in this Agreement without
the prior written consent of the Manager; provided, however, that Owner shall have the right, without such consent, to (1) conditionally assign this Agreement as security for a Mortgage of the Inn in accordance with this Agreement, and (2) assign
its interest in this Agreement in connection with a Sale of the Inn which complies with the provisions of Section 10.02 of this Agreement. 
  
 C.    In the event either party consents to an assignment of this Agreement by the other, no further assignment shall be made without the express consent in writing of such party, unless such assignment
may otherwise be made without such consent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. An assignment by either Owner or Manager of its interest in this Agreement shall not relieve Owner or Manager, as the case may be, from its respective obligations
under this Agreement, and shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, its respective successors, heirs, legal representatives, or assigns. 
  
 10.02  Sale of the Inn 
  
 A.    Owner shall not enter into any Sale of the Inn to any individual or entity which: (1) does not, in Manager’s reasonable judgment, have sufficient financial resources and liquidity to fulfill
Owner’s obligations under this Agreement; (2) is known in the community as being of bad moral character, or is in control of or controlled by persons who have been convicted of felonies in any state or federal court; or (3) is engaged in the
business of operating (as distinguished from owning) hotels or other lodging facilities in competition with Manager, Marriott or any Affiliate. An individual or entity shall not be deemed to be in the business of operating hotels or other lodging
facilities in competition with Manager, Marriott or any Affiliate solely by virtue of (x) the ownership of such hotels or other lodging facilities, either directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, affiliates and partnerships, or (y) holding a
mortgage or mortgages secured by one or more hotels or other lodging facilities. Furthermore, Owner shall not enter into a Sale of the Inn if Owner is at the time in Default under the terms of this Agreement. 

 
 22 








  
 B.    If Owner decides to sell the Inn to a third party, then
prior to offering the Inn for sale or negotiating a sale with any third party, Owner will give Manager notice of such decision and afford Manager forty-five (45) days in which to attempt to negotiate a mutually satisfactory agreement for purchase of
the Inn. For purposes of this Section 10.02.B, a sale to a third party shall not include any transfer, sale or assignment to an institutional lender or to a trustee for such lender to secure a loan, nor to a sale at foreclosure under the First
Mortgage or any replacement Mortgage. If, after expiration of forty-five (45) days following the date of Owner’s notice of its desire to sell the Inn, Owner and Manager are not willing or able to enter into a mutually acceptable agreement for
purchase of the Inn, Owner shall be free to sell the Inn to a third party on terms and conditions not more favorable to such third party than Owner was willing to sell the Inn to Manager and subject to the following further conditions: 

 
 1.    Owner shall deliver written notice of the proposed sale to Manager stating the name of the
prospective purchase or tenant, as the case may be, the price or rental, and the terms and conditions of such proposed Sale of the Inn, together with all other information thereafter requested by Manager and reasonably available to Owner.

  
 2.    Within thirty (30) days after the date of receipt of Owner’s written notice and
all such other information, Manager shall elect, by written notice to Owner, one of the following alternatives: 
  
 a.    to consent to such Sale of the Inn and to the assignment of the Agreement to such purchaser or tenant provided that concurrently with the closing thereof, the purchaser or tenant, as the case may be, shall,
by appropriate instrument in form satisfactory to Manager, assume all of Owner’s obligations under this Agreement. An executed original of such assumption agreement shall be delivered to Manager; or 
  
 b.    to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Owner, which notice will set an effective date for such
Termination not earlier than thirty (30) days, nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days, following the date of the giving of such notice. Manager shall have the right to change such effective date of Termination to coincide with the date of the
closing of the proposed Sale of the Inn. Said notice of Termination shall not be effective if such Sale of the Inn is not closed. 
  
 C.    If Manager shall fail to elect either of the above alternatives within said thirty (30) day period, such failure shall be conclusively deemed to constitute an election and consent under subsection
10.02.B.2.A above, and the provisions thereof shall prevail as if Manager had consented in writing thereto. Any proposed Sale of the Inn, of which notice has been delivered by Owner to Manager hereunder, must be closed within one hundred eighty
(180) days following the delivery of such notice, unless an extension has been agreed to by the parties hereto. Failing such closing, such notice, and any response thereto given by Manager, shall be null and void and all of the provisions of Section
10.02.B must again be complied with before Owner shall have the right to close a Sale of the Inn upon the terms contained in said notice, or otherwise. 
  
 D.    If Manager consents (or is deemed to have consented) to the proposed Sale of the Inn, then Manager shall have the option to require that such purchaser or tenant enter into a
new 

 
 23 








 management agreement with Manager, which new management agreement will be on all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement except that the
Initial Term and Renewal Term of any such new agreement shall consist only of the balance of the Initial Term and Renewal Term remaining under this Agreement at the time of execution of any such new agreement. Such new management agreement shall be
executed by Manager and such new owner at the time of closing of the Sale of the Inn, and a memorandum of such new management agreement shall be executed by the parties and recorded immediately following recording of the deed or memorandum of lease
or assignment and prior to recordation of any other documents. 
  
 E.    Owner represents that
its equity is directly and (if applicable) indirectly owned as shown on Exhibit B. In connection with the possibility of a Sale of the Inn achieved by means of a transfer of the controlling interest in Owner, Owner shall, from time to time, within
thirty (30) days after written request by Manager, furnish Manager with a list of the names and addresses of the owners of capital stock, partnership interest, or other proprietary interest of Owner. 
  
 F.    Subject to Manager’s right of first negotiation as set forth in Section 10.2, Owner shall have the right at
any time after the third (3rd) anniversary of the Opening Date to terminate this Agreement upon the
closing of any Sale of the Inn but only in accordance with all of the terms and conditions set forth below: 
  
 1.    Owner shall first deliver to Manager written notice of a bona fide written contract for a Sale of the Inn, which written contract shall include a requirement that Owner terminate this Agreement as a
condition to closing, together with all other information requested by Manager and reasonably available to Owner in accordance with the requirements of this Section 10.02.F; 
  
 2.    This Agreement shall terminate on the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after Manager’s receipt of the notice described in
subsection 1 above; provided, however, that Manager at its option shall have the right to change such effective date of Termination to coincide with the date of the closing of the Proposed Sale of the Inn. Any such Termination shall not be effective
if such Sale of the Inn is not closed; and 
  
 3.    As a condition to the effectiveness of any
such Termination, Owner shall pay to Manger on or before the date of Termination, as compensation for Manager’s expenses, lost revenue and loss of the Inn as part of the System, and not as penalty, an amount equal to three (3) times the average
of the sum of the Base Management Fee, the Residence Inn System Fee plus the Incentive Management Fee earned by Manager over the three (3) full Fiscal Years prior to the date of Termination. No Termination under this Section 10.02.F. shall occur
until Manager has received payment of such amount. 

 
 24 








  
 ARTICLE XI 
  
 MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 11.01  Right to Make Agreement 
  
 Each party warrants, with respect to itself, that neither the
execution of the Agreement nor the finalization of the transactions contemplated hereby shall violate any provision of law or judgment, writ, injunction, order or decree of any court or governmental authority having jurisdiction over it; result in
or constitute a breach or default under any indenture, contract, other commitment or restriction to which it is a party or by which it is bound; or, subject to Section 11.17 of this Agreement, require any consent, vote or approval which has not been
taken, or at the time of the transaction involved shall not have been given or taken. Each party covenants that it has and will continue to have throughout the term of the Agreement and any extensions thereof, the full right to enter into the
Agreement and perform its obligations hereunder. 
  
 11.02  Consents 
  
 Wherever in the Agreement the consent or approval of Owner or Manager is required, such consent or approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned, shall be in writing and shall be executed by a duly authorized officer or agent of the party granting such consent or approval. If either Owner or Manager fails to respond within thirty (30) days to a request by the
other party for a consent or approval, such consent or approval shall be deemed to have been given (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement). 
  
 11.03  Agency 
  
 A.    The relationship of Owner and Manager shall be that of principal and agent, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to create a partnership or joint venture between them or their
successors in interest. Manager’s agency established by this Agreement is coupled with an interest and may not be terminated by Owner until the expiration of the Term of this Agreement, except as provided in Articles VI or IX. The agency
coupled with an interest herein was created by a complex, single, integrated transaction. Among other considerations, Owner and Manager stipulate that their mutual decision to enter into this Agreement was based on the following assumptions: (i)
that one of the reasons why the System has succeeded in gaining the loyalty of its guests is that Residence Inn by Marriott hotels are located in a large number of geographical markets; (ii) that the success of many of Manager’s promotional
efforts depends on the expectation of its guests that there will be a Residence Inn by Marriott hotel in most destinations where they may choose to travel; and (iii) by executing this Agreement, Manager intends to select this Inn to represent the
System in the Inn’s market area, and, in so doing, Manager has foregone the opportunity to select other hotels in this market area. This agency is intended to provide security for the covenants, promises and guarantees herein. The agency was
purchased for valuable consideration and is not terminable except as specifically allowed by the express provisions of this Agreement. The parties intend for this agency to be coupled with an interest, waive any right to claim that it is terminable
at will, and further agree to be equitably estopped from asserting that the agency is not coupled with an interest. 

 
 25 








  
 B.    Notwithstanding the agency relationship created by this
Agreement, neither this Agreement nor anything implied by the relationship between Manager and Owner shall prohibit the Marriott Companies from constructing, operating, or promoting, and authorizing others to construct, operate, or promote Residence
Inn by Marriott Hotels, Marriott Inns, Courtyard by Marriott Hotels, Marriott Suites Hotels, Fairfield Inns, other lodging concepts, restaurants, or other business operations of any type, at any location, including a location proximate to the Site.
Owner acknowledges, accepts and agrees further that (i) the Marriott Companies retain the right to construct or operate, or both, or promote or acquire, or authorize or otherwise license others to construct o operate, or both, or promote or acquire
any hotels, lodging concepts or products, restaurants or other business operations of any type whatsoever, including, but not by way of limitation, Residence Inn by Marriott Hotels, Marriott Inns, Marriott Suites, Courtyard by Marriott Hotels, and
Fairfield Inns at any location including one or more sites which may be adjacent, adjoining or proximate to the Site, which business operations may be in direct competition with the Inn; (ii) the Marriott Companies may exercise such right from time
to time without notice to Owner; (iii) any such exercise may adversely affect the operation of the Inn; and (iv) Owner covenants that it shall not take any action, including a cause of action in a court of law or equity, which may be deemed to
interfere with the exercise of this right by any of the Marriott Companies. 
  
 11.04  Applicable
Law 
  
 The Agreement shall be construed under and shall be governed by the laws of the State in which the
Site is located. 
  
 11.05  Recordation 
  

The terms and provisions of the Agreement shall run with the parcel of land designated as the Site, and with Owner’s interest therein, and shall be binding upon
all successors to such interest. The parties shall execute simultaneously with this Agreement sufficient copies of a “Memorandum of Management Agreement” in recordable form satisfactory to both parties. The Memorandum shall, if legally
permitted, be recorded or registered (or such other steps shall be taken by the parties as are necessary, to the extent legally permitted, to give official notice to all third parties that the Agreement binds the Inn) promptly following the
Effective Date of this Agreement in the jurisdiction in which the Inn is located. Any cost of such recordation shall be initially borne by Owner, reimbursed to Owner from Gross Revenues, and treated as a Deduction. 
  
 11.06  Headings 
  
 Headings of articles and sections are inserted only for convenience and are in no way to be construed as a limitation on the scope of the particular articles or sections to which they refer.

 11.08  Environmental
Matters 
  
 A.    In the event of the discovery of Hazardous Materials (as defined below)
on any portion of the Site or in the Inn during the Term of this Agreement, Owner shall promptly remove such Hazardous Materials, together with all contaminated soil and containers, and shall otherwise remedy the problem in accordance with (1) the
Comprehensive Environmental 

 
 27 








  
 Response, Compensation and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601 et seq., as amended; (2)
the regulations promulgated thereunder, from time to time; (3) all federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations (now or hereafter in effect) dealing with the use, generation, treatment, storage, disposal or abatement of Hazardous Materials;
and (4) the regulations promulgated thereunder, from time to time (collectively referred to as “Environmental Laws”). Owner shall indemnify, defend and hold Manager harmless from and against all loss, costs, liability and damage
(including, without limitation, engineers’ and attorneys’ fees and expenses, and the cost of litigation) arising from the presence of Hazardous Materials on the Site or in the Inn; and this obligation of Owner shall survive Termination of
this Agreement. “Hazardous Materials” shall mean and include any substance or material containing one or more of any of the following: “hazardous material,” “hazardous waste,” “hazardous substance,”
“regulated substance,” “petroleum,” “pollutant,” “contaminant,” or “asbestos” as such terms are defined in any applicable Environmental Law in such concentration(s) or amount(s) as may impose
clean-up, removal, monitoring or other responsibility under the Environmental Laws, as the same may be amended from time to time, or which may present a significant risk of harm to guests, invitees or employees of the Inn. 
  
 B.    All costs and expenses of the aforesaid removal of Hazardous Materials from the Site or the Inn, and of the
aforesaid compliance with all Environmental Laws, and any amounts paid to Manager pursuant to the indemnity set forth in Section 11.08.A, shall be paid by Owner from its own funds, not as a Deduction nor from the Reserve, and shall be treated as an
expenditure by Owner pursuant to Section 5.03. 
  
 11.09    Confidentiality

  
 A.    The parties hereto agree that the matters set forth in this Agreement are strictly
confidential and each party will make every effort to ensure that the information is not disclosed to any outside person or entities (including the press) without the prior written consent of the other party except may be required by law and as may
be reasonably necessary to obtain licenses, permits, and other public approvals necessary for the refurbishment or operation of the Inn, or in connection with Owner” financing of the Inn, a Sale of the Inn, or a sale of a controlling interest
in Owner, Manager or Marriott. 
  
 B.    No reference to Manager or to any Affiliate will be made
in any prospectus, private placement memorandum, offering circular or offering documentation related thereto (collectively referred to as the “Prospectus”), issued by Owner or one of its affiliates, which is designed to interest potential
investors in the Inn, unless Manager has previously received a copy of all such references. However, regardless of whether Manager does or does not so receive a copy of all such references, neither Manager nor any Affiliate will be deemed a sponsor
of the offering described in the Prospectus, nor will it have any responsibility for the Prospectus, and the Prospectus will so state. Unless Manager agrees in advance, the Prospectus will not include any trademark, symbols, logos or designs of
Manager of any Affiliates. Owner shall indemnify, defend and hold Manager harmless from and against all loss, costs, liability and damage (including attorneys’ fees and expenses, and the cost of litigation) arising out of any Prospectus or the
offering described therein; and this obligation of Owner shall survive Termination of this Agreement. 

 
 28 








  
 11.10    Projections 
  
 Owner acknowledges that any written or oral projections, proformas or other similar information that has been, prior to execution of this
Agreement, or will, during the Term of this Agreement, be provided by Manager, Marriott or any Affiliate to Owner is for information purposes only and that Manager, Marriott and any such Affiliate do not guarantee that the Inn will achieve the
results set forth in any such projections, proformas, or other similar information. Any such projections, proformas or other similar information are based on assumptions and estimates; and unanticipated events may occur subsequent to the date of
preparation of such projections, proformas and other similar information. Therefore, the actual results achieved by the Inn are likely to vary from the estimates contained in any such projections, proformas or other similar information and such
variations might be material. 
  
 11.11    Actions to be Taken upon Termination

  
 Upon a Termination of this Agreement, the following shall be applicable: 
  
 A.    Manager shall, within ninety (90) days after Termination of this Agreement, prepare and deliver to Owner a final
accounting statement with respect to the Inn, as more particularly described in Section 4.02 hereof, along with a statement of any sums due from Owner to Manager pursuant hereto, dated as of the date of Termination. Within thirty (30) days of the
receipt by Owner of such final accounting statement, the parties will make whatever cash adjustments are necessary pursuant to such final statement. The cost of preparing such final accounting statement shall be a Deduction, unless the Termination
occurs as a result of a Default by either party, in which case the defaulting party shall pay such cost. Manager and Owner acknowledge that there may be certain adjustments for which the information will not be available at the time of the final
accounting and the parties agree to readjust such amounts and make the necessary cash adjustments when such information becomes available; provided, however, that all accounts shall be deemed final two (2) years after Termination. 

 
 B.    Manager shall release and transfer to Owner (or to any purchaser as may be provided in this
Agreement) any of Owner’s funds which are held or controlled by Manager with respect to the Inn with the exception of funds to be held in escrow pursuant to Sections 6.01.F and 11.11.I and otherwise in accordance herewith. 

 
 C.    Manager shall make available to Owner such books and records respecting the Inn (including those from
prior years, subject to Manager’s reasonable records retention policies) as will be needed by Owner to prepare the accounting statements, in accordance with the Uniform System of Accounts, for the Inn for the year in which the Termination
occurs and for any subsequent year. 
  
 D.    Manager shall (to the extent permitted by law)
assign to Owner or to the new manager all operating licenses and permits for the Inn which have been issued in Manager’s name (including liquor and restaurant licenses, if any); provided that if Manager has expended 

 
 29 








  
 any of its own funds in the acquisition of any of such licenses or permits, Owner shall reimburse
Manager therefor if it has not done so already. 
  
 E.    Manager shall have the option to be
exercised within thirty (30) days after Termination, to purchase, at their then book value, any items of the Inn’s Inventories and Fixed Asset Supplies as may be marked with any Trade Name, or any Marriott or Residence Inn trademark, other
trade name, symbol, logo or design. In the event Manager does not exercise such option, Owner agrees that it will use any such items not so purchased exclusively in connection with the Inn until they are consumed. 
  
 F.    Owner shall have the right to operate the improvements on the Site without modifying the architectural design of
same, notwithstanding the fact that such design or certain features thereof may be proprietary to Manager and/or protected by trade marks or service marks held by Manager or an Affiliate, provided that such use shall be confined to the Site.

  
 G.    Any computer software (including upgrades and replacements) at the Inn owned by
Manager, Marriott, an Affiliate, or the licensor of any of them is proprietary to Manager, Marriott, such Affiliate or the licensor of any of them and shall in all events remain the exclusive property of Manager, Marriott, the Affiliate or the
licensor of any of them, as the case may be, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall confer on Owner the right to use any of such software. Manager shall have the right to remove from the Inn without compensation to Owner any computer software
(including upgrades and replacements), including, without limitation, the RICHIE System software, owned by Manager, Marriott, any Affiliate or the licensor of any of them. Furthermore, upon Termination, Manager shall be entitled to remove from the
Inn without compensation to Owner any computer equipment utilized as part of a centralized reservation system or owned by a party other than Owner. 
  
 H.    If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with the provisions hereof for any reason other than (1) Default by Manager or (2) expiration of the Term, then Owner shall,
within ten (10) days after Manager’s request therefor, pay to Manager, as compensation for Manager’s lost revenue and expenses and not as a penalty, an amount equal to whichever of the following is applicable; (i) five (5) times the
average annual Base Management Fees, Residence Inn System Fees and Incentive Management Fees due to Manager during the number of full Fiscal Years preceding the Fiscal Year in which the Termination occurred, if such Termination occurs on or prior to
the expiration of the third (3rd) full Fiscal Year after the Opening Date; (ii) four (4) times the
average annual Base Management Fees, Residence Inn System Fees and Incentive Management Fees due to Manager during the four (4) full Fiscal Years preceding the Fiscal Year in which the Termination occurred if such Termination occurs in the fourth
(4th) full Fiscal Year after the Opening Date; or (iii) three (3) times the average annual Base
Management Fees, Residence Inn System Fees and Incentive Management Fees due to Manager during the five (5) full Fiscal Years preceding the full Fiscal Year in which the Termination occurred if such Termination occurs after the beginning of the
fifth (5th) full Fiscal Year after the Opening Date or during any Renewal Term. If Owner fails to pay
such fee within the time period set forth herein, then Manager shall have the right (without affecting Manager’s other remedies under this Agreement) to withhold the amount of such fee from the Reserve, the Working Capital funds or any other
funds of Owner held by or under the control of Manager. 

 
 30 








  
 I.    If this Agreement is terminated for any reason, other
than a Termination by reason of a Default of Manager hereunder, an escrow fund shall be established from Gross Revenues to reimburse Manager for all costs and expenses incurred by Manager in terminating its employees at the Inn, such as severance
pay, unemployment compensation, employment relocation, and other employee liability costs arising out of the termination of employment of Manager’s employees at the Inn all of which shall be in accordance with Marriott’s then standard
corporate lodging policy for such items. If Gross Revenues are insufficient to meet the requirements of such escrow fund, then Owner shall deliver to Manager, within ten (10) days after receipt of Manager’s written request therefor, the sums
necessary to establish such escrow fund; and if Owner fails to timely deliver such sums to Manager, Manager shall have the right (without affecting Manager’s other remedies under this Agreement) to withdraw the amount of such expenses from the
Reserve, the Working Capital funds or any other funds of Owner held by or under the control of Manager. 
  
 J.    Various other actions shall be taken, as described in this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the actions described in Sections 4.05 and 6.01.F. 
  

K.    Manager shall peacefully vacate and surrender the Inn to Owner. 
  
 The provisions of this Section 11.11 shall survive Termination. 
  
 11.12    Trademarks, Trade Names and Service Marks 
  
 The names “Marriott,” “Residence Inn,” “Residence Inn by Marriott” and “Marriott Residence Inn” (each of the foregoing names, together with any combination thereof, are collectively
referred to as the “Trade Names”) when used alone or in connection with another word or words, and the Marriott or Residence Inn trademarks, service marks, other trade names, symbols, logos and designs shall in all events remain the
exclusive property of Marriott, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall confer on Owner the right to use any of the Trade Names, or the Marriott or Residence Inn trademarks, service marks, other trade names, symbols, logos or designs otherwise
than in strict accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Except as provided in Section 11.11.E, upon Termination any use of or right to use any of the Trade Names or any of the Marriott or Residence Inn trademarks, service marks, other trade
names, symbols, logos or designs by Owner shall cease forthwith and Owner shall promptly remove from the Inn any signs or similar items which contain any of said Trade Names, trademarks, service marks, other trade names, symbols, logos or designs.
If Owner has not removed such signs or similar items within ten (10) days after Termination, Manager shall have the right to do so at Owner’s expense; and if Owner fails to reimburse Manager for such expense within ten (10) days after receipt
of written notice thereof from Manger to Owner, then Manager shall have the right (without affecting Manager’s other remedies under this Agreement) to withdraw the amount of such expenses from the Reserve, the Working Capital funds or any other
funds of Owner held by or under the control of Manager. Included under the terms of this section are all trademarks, service marks, trade names, symbols, logos or designs used in conjunction with the Inn, including, but not limited to, restaurant
names, lounge names, etc., whether or not the marks contain the “Marriott” name or the “Residence Inn” name. The right to use such trademarks, 

 
 31 








  
 service marks, trade names, symbols, logos or designs belongs exclusively to Manager, and the use
thereof inures to the benefit of Manager whether or not the same are registered and regardless of the source of the same. The provisions of this Section 11.12 shall survive Termination. 
  
 11.13    Waiver 
  
 The failure of either party to insist upon a strict performance of any of the terms or provisions of the Agreement, or to exercise any option, right or remedy contained in this Agreement, shall not be construed as a waiver or as a
relinquishment for the future of such term, provision, option, right or remedy, but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect. No waiver by either party of any term or provision hereof shall be deemed to have been made unless
expressed in writing and signed by such party. 
  
 11.14    Partial Invalidity

  
 If any portion of the Agreement shall be declared invalid by order, decree or judgment of a court, the
Agreement shall be construed as if such portion had not been so inserted except when such construction would operate as an undue hardship on Manager or Owner or constitute a substantial deviation from the general intent and purpose of said parties
as reflected in the Agreement. 
  
 11.15    Survival 
  
 All of the rights and obligations of the parties which, by their terms or by their nature, extend beyond Termination or that accrued but
were not discharged prior to Termination shall automatically survive any Termination regardless of whether the applicable section so states.

 ADDENDUM 
  
 Construction and Pre-Opening 
  
 The following provisions
shall, as supplemented by the terms and provisions set forth in the Agreement, govern the rights and obligations of Owner and Manager during the construction and pre-opening stages of the Inn. 
  

I.    Construction and Financing 
  
 A.    Owner shall, at its sole cost and expense, develop the Inn on the Site under a financing plan mutually agreed upon by Owner and Manager no later than sixty (60) days after the
Effective Date. Owner shall prepare and submit a financing plan to Manager no later than thirty (30) days after the Effective Date. The financing plan shall contain at a minimum (1) a current financial statement for Owner and all individuals or
entities comprising Owner, and (2) with respect to funds to be borrowed from a construction lender, and with respect to funds which are applied to replace said construction financing, the type of lender that will provide the funds and the identity
of the lender (if known), the amount of such funds, and the terms of the loan. 
  
 B.    Manager
shall make available, if not previously provided to Owner, a set of prototypical plans and specifications (not including construction drawings or specifications) for the Inn and the current edition of the “Residence Inn Design Guide.”
Owner shall, after receiving said materials from Manager, cause Owner’s architect to produce plans, specifications and complete working drawings, including without limitation, architectural, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, structural, civil
engineering and landscape drawings (collectively, the “Plans”) which shall be properly sealed by Owner’s architect. The Plans shall adapt Manager’s prototypical plans and specifications to the Site and to local and state laws,
regulations and ordinances and shall incorporate Manager’s fire and life safety standards and other standards of quality and efficiency set by Manager for the design and construction of a Residence Inn. The Plans along with a current
geotechnical report shall be submitted to Manager for approval at least sixty (60) days prior to commencement of construction of the Inn. Following Manager’s approval of the Plans, no changes in such Plans shall be made which materially affect
the operation, cost or aesthetics of the Inn without the prior written consent of Manager. 
  
 C.    Owner shall construct, furnish and fully equip the Inn in accordance with the Plans which have been previously approved by Manager. During the course of construction, Owner shall cooperate fully with Manager
for the purpose of permitting Manager, at Manager’s option, to inspect the construction of the Inn at a minimum (1) just prior to the installation of the drywall, (2) upon completion of the model suite and (3) upon completion of the Inn, to
determine whether construction is proceeding in accordance with Manager’s standards and specifications and the approved Plans. Owner shall give Manager at least thirty (30) days notice prior to each of the events described in the sentence
immediately above to enable Manager to schedule its inspection; it is understood that Manager is not obligated to inspect the construction of the Inn. Manager’s exercise of its rights to approve the Plans and any proposed changes thereto and to
inspect construction of the Inn shall be solely for the purpose of assuring compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and Manager shall have no liability or obligations with 

 
 43 








  
 respect to the Plans or construction of the Inn. Upon completion of the Inn, Owner shall submit to
Manager an architect’s certification that the Inn has been constructed and completed in accordance with the Plans which were approved by Manager (or, if any changes in the Plans, as approved by Manager as required hereunder) and a copy of the
Certificate of Occupancy for the Inn. To the extent that Manager determines that the Inn as constructed does not conform to the approval Plans, Owner shall promptly correct such nonconforming work; any nonconforming work discovered prior to the
opening of the Inn shall be corrected by Owner prior to the Opening Date. 
  
 D.    Owner shall
be responsible for obtaining all licenses, permits and other approvals required for construction and operation of the Inn and agrees upon request by Manager to sign promptly and without charge applications for any such licenses, permits and other
documents as may be required by the applicable authority. 
  
 E.    Unless Manager specifically
approves in writing to the contrary, all FF&E installed in the Inn as of the Opening Date and at any time thereafter will be purchased (not leased) by Owner, free and clear of all liens and security interests other than the First Mortgage.

  
 F.    Manager will have the option of terminating the Agreement by written notice to be
delivered to Owner if: 
  
 1.    within ninety (90) days after the Effective Date Owner has not
obtained all necessary written commitments for the construction and long term debt financing of the Inn; or 
  
 2.    construction of the Buildings and other improvements constituting the Inn has not commenced within one hundred eighty (180) days after the Effective Date, with construction being deemed to have commenced
upon the pouring of the footings for the Inn; or 
  
 3.    construction, furnishing and equipping
of the Buildings and other improvements constituting has not been completed in accordance with the Plans approved by Manager, or all permits and licenses necessary for operation of the Inn have not been obtained within twelve (12) months after
construction has commenced. 
  
 II.    Pre-Opening Activities and Expenses

  
 A.    It is recognized that certain activities must be undertaken so that Inn can
function properly on the Partial Opening Date and thereafter. Accordingly, from time to time at the appropriate time both prior to and after the Opening Date, Manager shall: 
  
 1.    Recruit, train and employ the staff required for the Inn; 
  
 2.    Undertake pre-opening promotion and advertising, including opening celebrations; 
  
 3.    Test the operations of the Inn; 

 
 44 








  
 4.    Provide, for a period to end not later than one hundred
twenty (120) days after the Opening Date, a task force of experts and personnel to supervise and assist with certain pre-opening and opening operations; 
  
 5.    Apply for the initial licenses and permits required for the operation of the Inn as contemplated by the Agreement; and 
  

6.    In general, render such other miscellaneous services incidental to the preparation and organization of the Inn’s operations as may be
required for the Inn to be adequately staffed and capable of operating on the Partial Opening Date and during the first Fiscal Year. 
  
 The expenses relating to such activities (“Pre-Opening Expenses”) shall include, but not be limited to, the types of items listed on Schedule A attached hereto, such as salaries and wages (including those of
personnel of Marriott and Affiliates), costs of interim office space, professional fees, telephone expenses, staff hiring and training costs, travel and moving expenses, costs of opening celebrations, the cost of heat, light and power not chargeable
to the cost of constructing the Inn, advertising and promotion expenses, and miscellaneous expenses. 
  
 B.    Approximately six (6) months prior to the projected Partial Opening Date, and thereafter as necessary, Manager shall prepare and submit an estimate (or revised estimates, as the case may be) of the total
Pre-Opening Expenses to Owner. In the event the Partial Opening Date or the Opening Date is delayed or postponed from the original date established therefor, such estimates shall be subject to revision to reflect any increases in Pre-Opening
Expenses occasioned by such delay or postponement. Owner shall notify Manager in advance of any impending delay or postponement of the Partial Opening Date or the Opening Date, to enable Manager (to the extent reasonably practicable) to reduce the
increases in Pre-Opening Expenses occasioned thereby. It is understood, however, that to the extent that such a delay or postponement of the Partial Opening Date or the Opening Date causes increased Pre-Opening Expenses pursuant to Section II C of
this Addendum, regardless of the fact that such delay or postponement may be the result of Force Majeure. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the term “increased Pre-Opening Expenses” shall include all out-of-pocket cancellation
penalties in the event Manager must cancel reservations made for Suites, meeting rooms and other Inn facilities as a result of such delay or postponement of the Partial Opening Date or the Opening Date. 
  
 C.    Pre-Opening Expenses shall be borne by Owner and advanced to Manager within fifteen (15) days after Owner’s
receipt of the above-described estimates or revised estimates, as the case may be. At the time of delivering to Owner any revised estimate of Pre-Opening Expenses, Manager shall also deliver an accounting of any funds expended to date for
Pre-Opening Expenses. Within ninety (90) days after the final expenditure of funds for Pre-Opening Expenses, Manager shall deliver to Owner an itemized accounting of funds so expended along with payment to Owner of any surplus of estimated
Pre-Opening Expenses previously funded by Owner and not spent by Manager. If, following the Partial Opening Date, Owner has failed to provide funds for Pre-Opening Expenses in accordance with Manager’s estimates, Manager shall have the option
to deduct such amounts (plus interest from the date of expenditure until 

 
 45 








  
 repayment to Manager at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate plus three (3) percentage points) from
Owner’s share of Operating Profit. 
  
 III.    Opening Date 

 
 A.    The projected Partial Opening Date, if any, and the Opening Date shall be set forth in time schedules
which will be mutually approved by Owner and Manager pursuant to Section LB of this Addendum. However, the actual Partial Opening Date and the Opening Date shall in no event be earlier than the date upon which all elements of the Inn, (but, in the
case of a Partial Opening Date, not including those elements related strictly to the Suites that are not to be opened on the Partial Opening Date) have been substantially completed in accordance with the Plans and ready for their intended use and
occupancy, and in compliance with the provisions of Section III B below. Manager’s agreement to delay the Partial Opening Date or the Opening Date pursuant to the preceding sentence shall not prejudice Manager’s rights under Section 9.01 E
of the Agreement. 
  
 B.    Owner agrees that on the Partial Opening Date and on the Opening Date
there will be no ongoing construction on any portion of the Inn which would materially adversely affect access to the Inn (including all parts of the Inn scheduled to be opened on the Partial Opening Date or Opening Date, whichever is applicable) or
which would otherwise materially adversely limit, restrict, disturb or interfere with Manager’s operation of the Inn in accordance with its usual high standards. If, as of the Partial Opening Date or the Opening Date, there remain to be
completed minor unfinished “punch list” items or installation of incidental FF&E and supplies in the common area, lobby, administrative offices or any Suites to be opened on the Partial Opening Date or Opening Date, whichever is
applicable, none of which preclude Manager (in Manager’s reasonable judgment) from operating the Inn in accordance with the standards of this Agreement, the Partial Opening Date or Opening Date, whichever is applicable, shall not be delayed for
such reasons but Owner shall be obligated to promptly finish such items. 
  
 IV.    Initial
Working Capital and Fixed Asset Supplies 
  
 At least sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated Partial
Opening Date, Owner shall provide to Manager the initial Working Capital for the Inn in the amount of Sixty Thousand Dollars ($60,000). Additionally, Owner shall provide to Manager at least sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated Partial Opening
Date the initial Fixed Asset Supplies for the Inn (or the funds necessary to supply the Inn with the Initial Fixed Asset Supplies) in accordance with specifications to be provided by Manager. 
  

V.    Interim Insurance 
  
 Owner shall, at its expense, at all times during the period of construction, furnishing and equipping of the Inn, procure and maintain adequate property, general liability and automobile liability
insurance (with limits and coverage to be mutually agreed upon) fully protecting Owner and Manager against loss or damage arising in connection with the preparation, construction, furnishing and equipping of the Inn and pre-opening activities. All
policies required under this Section V shall include Manager as an additional insured. Owner shall deliver to Manager, upon
