 B. The operation of the Hotel shall be under the exclusive supervision and control of Manager, except as
otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, and Manager shall be responsible for the proper and efficient operation of the Hotel. In fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement, Manager will act as a reasonable, prudent operator of the
Hotel, having regard for the status of the Hotel, operating the Hotel in accordance with Prudent Industry Practices and at all times maintaining and complying with all standards imposed by the Franchise Agreement, and subject to the foregoing and
all other terms and conditions of this Agreement, shall have discretion in the following: charges, terms and conditions for Guest Rooms and commercial space; credit policies and services provided by the Hotel; food and beverage services; employment

aggregate for all such items in any Fiscal Year if such expenditure is not included in the approved Annual Operating Projection for such Fiscal Year or if such expenditure would result in an increase in the overall Annual Operating Projection.

(ii) Manager shall not negotiate or enter into any collective bargaining or other labor agreement with employees or with any organization representing or claiming to represent employees without Owner’s prior consent. No person shall be
given gratuitous accommodations or services without prior joint approval of Owner and Manager except in accordance with policies agreed upon by Owner and Manager. Manager shall reimburse Owner for the costs (including relocation costs) of hiring and
training General Managers who are employed at the Hotel for less than one (1) year and are transferred or relocated. Manager shall be solely responsible and liable for all acts or omissions of the personnel employed at the Hotel and all persons
managing such employees, and 
  

 3 








 
Manager shall indemnify, defend and hold Owner harmless from any and all claims, damages, liabilities, obligations and costs (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees) arising therefrom, including (without limitation) all claims, damages, liabilities, obligations and costs arising from the negligence, fraud, theft and willful misconduct of Manager’s employees and from employment
discrimination, wrongful termination, violations of law, work-related injuries and other claims asserted by such employees, except to the extent of any costs properly payable from Gross Revenues as Deductions. 
 1.04. Owner’s Right to Inspect. 
 Owner, its representatives, employees, agents, Affiliates and Mortgagees shall have access to the Hotel at any and all reasonable times for the purpose of inspection, exercising any of its rights under this Agreement or showing the Hotel to
prospective purchasers, tenants or Mortgagees and at any time in case of an emergency. 
 1.05. Regular Meetings. 
 At Owner’s request, Owner and Manager shall have meetings at the Hotel and at mutually convenient times. Manager shall be represented at such
meetings by the General Manager of the Hotel and such other personnel as the General Manager and/or Owner may deem appropriate. The purpose of the meetings shall be, inter alia, to discuss the performance of the Hotel and other related
issues, including any variations from the Annual Operating Projection for the preceding quarter. 
 1.06. System Standards 

Subject to the availability of adequate funds, Manager shall take such actions consistent with this Agreement as are necessary for the Hotel to comply
with the System Standards, and Manager shall operate the Hotel so that the Hotel will at all times comply with System Standards. 
 1.07.
Limitations on Manager’s Authority 
 Manager shall not, without Owner’s prior written approval, enter into any FF&E
Lease if (i) the fair market value of the FF&E subject to such FF&E Lease at the time of entering into such FF&E Lease exceeds Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000); (ii) the fair market value of the FF&E subject to all
FF&E Leases at the time of entering into such FF&E Lease exceeds Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) in the aggregate; (iii) the FF&E subject to such FF&E Lease is FF&E that is not, consistent with Prudent Industry Practices,
customarily leased; (iv) such FF&E Lease is with an Affiliate of Manager or is on payment terms (including the amounts and schedule of payments) that would be materially more favorable to the lessor thereof than payment terms customary
under Prudent Industry Practices for leases of similar FF&E; or (v) such FF&E Lease is not terminable by Owner upon thirty (30) days’ notice.

 1.08. Representations and Warranties of Manager. Manager hereby makes the representations and
warranties to Owner set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof by this reference. 
 ARTICLE II 

TERM 
 2.01. Term.

 The “Term” of this Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date and shall continue until the expiration of the fifth
(5th) full Fiscal Year. The term of this Agreement shall automatically be extended for two periods of five
(5) years each unless either party elects not to so extend by giving written notice to the other party at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the end of the applicable fifth (5th ) full Fiscal Year. 
 Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Manager or Owner shall have the option to terminate this Agreement at any time during the Term, with or without cause, by giving the other party not less than one hundred-eighty (180) days prior written notice of its election to
terminate. 
 2.02. Performance Termination. 
 A. After the first Fiscal Year, Owner shall have the option to terminate this Agreement if during any two (2) consecutive Accounting Quarters any of the following occur: 
 1. Operating Profit for each of two (2) consecutive Accounting Quarters is less than the Performance Termination Threshold for each such Accounting
Quarter; or 
 2. The Revenue Index of the Hotel during each of two (2) consecutive Accounting Quarters is less than the Revenue Index
Threshold for each such Accounting Quarter. 
 Owner shall exercise such option to terminate by serving written notice thereof on Manager no
later than sixty (60) days after Owner’s receipt of the interim accounting under Section 4.01.A for the second applicable Accounting Period, and this Agreement shall terminate as of the end of the second (2nd) full Accounting Period following the date on which Manager receives the above-described notice from Owner. 
 B. Owner’s failure to exercise its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 2.02 shall not be deemed an estoppel or waiver of
Owner’s right to terminate this Agreement with respect to any subsequent event or circumstance that could give Owner the right to terminate hereunder. 
  

 5 








 ARTICLE III 
 COMPENSATION OF MANAGER 
 3.01. Management Fees. 
 In consideration of services to be performed during the Term, Manager shall be paid the sum of the following as its management fees: 
 A. the Base Management Fee, which shall be retained by Manager from Gross Revenues except as otherwise provided in this Agreement; plus 
 B. the Incentive Management Fee but only to the extent of available Operating Profit after payment of Owner’s Priority as provided in
Section 3.02 below. 
 3.02. Operating Profit. 
 A. Operating Profit, to the extent available, shall be distributed to Owner and to Manager in the following order of priority, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement: 
 1. An amount up to the maximum amount of Owner’s Priority shall be paid to Owner; 
 2. The Incentive Management Fee shall be paid to Manager; and 
 3. Any remaining balance of Operating Profit shall be paid to Owner. 
 Owner’s Priority and the Base
Management Fee are not cumulative from one Fiscal Year to the next, and to the extent the maximum amount of Owner’s Priority or Base Management Fee is unpaid in any Fiscal Year, such unpaid amount shall not accrue or otherwise be payable in any
subsequent Fiscal Year. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Manager acknowledges and agrees that Incentive Management Fees are only payable (i) annually within thirty (30) days after Owner’s receipt and
acceptance of the Annual Operating Statement, (ii) to the extent of available Operating Profit after payment in full of Owner’s Priority and (iii) in no event shall Incentive Management Fees accrue or be deemed to accrue. 

B. To the extent of available Operating Profit with respect to each Accounting Period, Manager shall distribute a prorated portion of the Owner’s
Priority to Owner for each such Accounting Period in accordance with Section 4.01. Any Incentive Management Fee payable to Manager will be payable within thirty (30) days after Owner’s receipt and acceptance of the Annual Operating
Statement. 
  

 6 








 ARTICLE IV 
 ACCOUNTING, BOOKKEEPING AND BANK ACCOUNTS 
 4.01. Accounting, Distributions and Annual
Reconciliation. 
 A. Within fifteen (15) days after the close of each Accounting Period, Manager shall deliver an interim accounting
(the “Accounting Period Statement”) to Owner, prepared in accordance with the Uniform System of Accounts, showing Gross Revenues, Deductions, Operating Profit and applications and distributions thereof for the preceding
Accounting Period and any other information reasonably requested by Owner. Manager shall transfer to Owner, with each Accounting Period Statement, any interim amounts due Owner, subject to Working Capital needs mutually agreed upon by Owner and
Manager, and shall retain any interim amounts payable to Manager pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 
 B. Calculations and payments of
the Incentive Management Fee, the Base Management Fee and distributions of Operating Profit made with respect to each Accounting Period shall be accounted for cumulatively within a Fiscal Year, but shall not be cumulative from one Fiscal Year to the
next. Within the SEC Filing Period, Manager shall deliver to Owner a statement (the “Annual Operating Statement”) in reasonable detail summarizing the operations of the Hotel for the immediately preceding Fiscal Year and a
certificate of Manager’s chief accounting officer certifying that, to the best of his or her knowledge, such Annual Operating Statement is true and correct. The parties shall, within five (5) Business Days after Owner’s receipt of
such Annual Operating Statement, make any adjustments, by cash payment, in the amounts paid or retained for such Fiscal Year as are needed because of the final figures set forth in such Annual Operating Statement. Such Annual Operating Statement
shall be controlling over the preceding Accounting Period Statements. 
 C. To the extent there is an Operating Loss for any Accounting
Period, no Base Management Fee or Incentive Management Fee shall be paid to or retained from Gross Revenues by Manager. Any Base Management Fee that would have been payable to Manager had there been an Operating Profit for such Accounting Period
shall accrue and shall be payable to Manager to the extent of, and shall reduce, any Incentive Management Fee payable to Manager in respect of subsequent Accounting Periods. In no event shall Incentive Management Fees accrue, nor shall any Incentive
Management Fee be payable to Manager in respect of any Accounting Period (i) as to which there is an Operating Loss or (ii) as to which accrued Base Management Fees are payable to Manager or accrued Owner’s Priority is payable to
Owner. 
 To the extent there is an Operating Loss for any Accounting Period, additional funds in the amount of any such Operating Loss
(other than the amount of any Base Management Fee) shall be provided by Owner within thirty (30) days after Manager has delivered written notice thereof to Owner. If Owner does not fund such Operating Loss within the thirty (30) day time
period, Manager shall have the right (without affecting Manager’s other remedies under this Agreement) to withdraw an amount to cover such Operating Loss from future distributions of funds otherwise due to Owner. Furthermore, if Owner fails to
fund such 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 one (1) percent per annum. In the event an Operating
Loss occurs in respect of one (1) or more Accounting Quarters during any Fiscal Year, Owner may elect to terminate this Agreement. 
  

 7 








 4.02. Books and Records.  
 Books of control and account pertaining to operations at the Hotel shall be kept on the accrual basis and in all material respects in accordance with the
Uniform System of Accounts. Owner may at reasonable intervals during Manager’s normal business hours examine such records. If Owner desires to audit, examine or review the Annual Operating Statement, Owner shall notify Manager in writing within
sixty (60) days after receipt of such Annual Operating Statement of its intention to audit and begin such audit no sooner than ten (10) days after Manager’s receipt of such notice. Owner shall use reasonable efforts to complete such
audit within one hundred twenty (120) days after commencement thereof. If Owner does not make such an audit, then such Annual Operating Statement shall be deemed to be conclusively accepted by Owner as being correct, except in the event of
manifest error or fraud, misrepresentation, misconduct or negligence by Manager or its agents, employees, representatives or contractors or other third parties. If any audit by Owner discloses an understatement of any amounts due Owner, Manager
shall promptly pay Owner such amounts found to be due, plus interest thereon at the Prime Rate plus one percent (1%) per annum from the date such amounts should originally have been paid. If any audit discloses that Manager has not received any
amounts due it, Owner shall pay Manager such amounts, plus interest thereon at the Prime Rate plus one percent (1%) per annum from the date such amounts should originally have been paid. The cost of the audit shall be paid by Owner; provided,
however, Manager shall pay for such cost if such audit discloses an underpayment to Owner for the Fiscal Year so audited of five percent (5%) or more of the amount that should have been paid to Owner for such Fiscal Year. In addition, if the
Franchise Agreement requires Owner to pay interest and/or the cost of an audit to the franchisor on account of an understatement in reports provided by Manager, Manager shall pay such interest and costs in accordance with the Franchise Agreement
without (either directly or indirectly) passing such charges on to Owner. 
 4.03. Accounts, Expenditures.  
 A. All funds derived from operation of the Hotel shall be deposited by Manager in Owner’s bank accounts (the “Operating
Accounts”) established by Manager in a bank or banks designated by Manager with the concurrence of Owner. Withdrawals by Manager from said Operating Accounts shall be made solely by the General Manager or the Assistant General Manager
of the Hotel, a senior officer of Manager or such other representatives of Manager whose signatures have been authorized by Manager with the concurrence of Owner. Reasonable petty cash funds shall be maintained at the Hotel. 
 B. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all payments made by Manager hereunder shall be made from the Operating Accounts, petty cash funds, or
from the Reserve (in accordance with Section 5.02). Manager shall not be required to make any advance or payment with respect to the Hotel except out of such funds, and Manager shall not be obligated to incur any liability or obligation with
respect to the Hotel unless resulting from acts or omissions of Manager that are in violation of or inconsistent with this Agreement or from Manager’s negligence or misconduct, or breach of representation or warranty or default by Manager
(each, “Manager’s Liability” and, collectively, “Manager’s Liabilities”). 
  

 8 








 C. Debts and liabilities (other than Manager’s Liabilities) incurred by Manager as a result of its
operation and management of the Hotel 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, and Owner shall indemnify, defend and
hold Manager harmless from and against all loss, costs, liability, and damage (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising from Owner’s failure to pay or perform such debts and liabilities. Manager shall
pay, indemnify, defend and hold Owner harmless from and against all Manager’s Liabilities and all loss, costs, liability and damage (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising from Manager’s
failure to pay or perform Manager’s Liabilities. The provisions of this Section 4.03.C shall survive Termination. 
 4.04.
Annual Operating; Projection. 
 Manager shall deliver to Owner for its review, at least thirty (30) days prior to the beginning
of each Fiscal Year after the first Fiscal Year following the Effective Date, a preliminary draft of the business plan (including a proposed budget) and a projection of the estimated Gross Revenues, departmental profits, Deductions, and Operating
Profit for the forthcoming Fiscal Year for the Hotel (the “Annual Operating Projection”) for approval by Owner. Manager will consider in good faith suggestions made by Owner with respect to the Annual Operating Projection and
make modifications thereto that are agreed upon by Owner and Manager. In the case of the Fiscal Year beginning on the Effective Date, Manager and Owner have already agreed upon the Annual Operating Projection for such Fiscal Year. Upon approval of
the Annual Operating Projection by Owner and Manager, Manager in good faith shall use best efforts to adhere to the Annual Operating Projection. In the event Owner and Manager are unable to agree upon the Annual Operating Projection by the
commencement of the Fiscal Year to which it relates, Owner or Manager may elect to terminate this Agreement as of the end of the then current Fiscal Year. 
 4.05. Working Capital. 
 The parties recognize that, as of the Effective Date, the level of Working
Capital funds, which shall be held in the Operating Accounts, is reasonably believed to be reasonably sufficient for the operations of the Hotel, subject at all times to seasonal differences and changes in circumstances after the Effective Date.
Manager may from time to time during the Term request that Owner advance any additional funds necessary to maintain Working Capital at levels reasonably determined by Manager (with the concurrence of Owner) to be necessary to satisfy the needs of
the Hotel. In the event Owner and Manager are unable to agree upon the need for and/or amount of additional Working Capital within thirty (30) days after Owner’s receipt of such written notice from Manager, Owner or Manager may elect to
terminate this Agreement. If Owner and Manager agree upon the need for and amount of additional Working Capital and thereafter Owner does not so fund additional Working Capital within ten (10) Business Days after Owner’s receipt of a
written request from Manager to fund such additional Working Capital, Manager shall have the right to withdraw an amount equal to the funds requested by Manager for additional Working Capital from future distribution of funds otherwise due to Owner.
All funds 

  

 9 








 
so advanced for Working Capital shall be utilized by Manager for the purposes of this Agreement. Upon Termination, Manager shall immediately return the
outstanding balance of the Working Capital to Owner. 
 4.06. Fixed Asset Supplies.  
 The parties further recognize that, as of the Effective Date, the level of funds for Fixed Asset Supplies is reasonably believed to be reasonably
sufficient for the operations of the Hotel, subject at all times to seasonal differences and changes in circumstances after the Effective Date. Any additional funds which are necessary to maintain Fixed Asset Supplies at levels determined by Manager
(with the concurrence of Owner) to be necessary to satisfy the needs of the Hotel, shall be paid from Gross Revenues as Deductions. Fixed Asset Supplies shall remain the property of Owner throughout the term of this Agreement and upon Termination.

 4.07. Real Estate and Personal Property Taxes.  
 A. Except as specifically set forth in Section 4.07.B below, all real estate and personal property taxes, levies, assessments (including special assessments (regardless of when due or whether they are paid as a
lump sum or in installments over time) imposed because of facilities that are constructed by or on behalf of the assessing jurisdiction (for example, roads, sidewalks, sewers, culverts, etc.) which directly benefit the Hotel (regardless of whether
or not they also benefit other buildings)), “Impact Fees” (regardless of when due or whether they are paid as a lump sum or in installments over time) which are required of Owner as a condition to the issuance of zoning variances or
building permits, and similar charges on or relating to the Hotel (collectively, “Impositions”) during the Term shall be paid by Manager from Gross Revenues, before any fine, penalty, or interest is added thereto or lien
placed upon the Hotel or upon this Agreement, unless payment thereof is in good faith being contested and enforcement thereof is stayed. Any such payments shall be Deductions in determining Operating Profit. Owner shall, within five (5) days
after receipt, furnish Manager with copies of official tax bills and assessments which it may receive with respect to the Hotel. Either Landlord or Owner may, and at Owner’s request Manager shall, 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. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, at Owner’s option (i) Manager shall establish an escrow account in the name of Owner in a bank or banks designated by Manager with the concurrence of Owner and shall deposit monthly into such
account from Gross Revenues an amount that Manager reasonably estimates shall be sufficient to pay the Impositions, in which case Manager shall pay the Impositions from funds in the escrow account as and when the Impositions become due (and Owner
shall promptly deposit into the escrow account any deficiency if the estimated monthly payments are not sufficient to pay all of the Impositions) or (ii) the amounts that would otherwise be deposited into such escrow account shall be included
in the Operating Profit, not deducted from Gross Revenues and shall be distributed in cash to Owner along with the remainder of the Owner’s Priority. If Owner elects to retain such amounts pursuant to clause (ii) above, Manager shall
accrue such amounts as a reserve on the accounting 

  

 10 








 
records of the Hotel, and Owner shall fund the same as and when the Impositions become due, but such accrued and unfunded amounts shall be deducted from
Gross Revenues for purposes of calculating the Incentive Management Fee. In addition, if any Mortgagee requires the establishment of an escrow account with respect to the Impositions, Manager shall comply with such requirements. 
 B. The word “Impositions” as used in this Agreement shall not include any franchise, corporate, estate, inheritance, succession,
capital levy or transfer tax or other assessment or payment in lieu thereof imposed on Owner or Manager, or any income tax imposed on any income of Owner or Manager (including distributions to Owner or Manager pursuant to Article III hereof), all of
which shall be paid solely by Owner or Manager, as applicable, not from Gross Revenues nor from the Reserve. 
 4.08. Sarbanes-Oxley
Certification. 
 A. Owner may, in connection with its or any of its Affiliate’s annual or quarterly Securities and Exchange
Commission reporting requirements (and in any event no more than four (4) times in any Fiscal Year), request that Manager deliver to Owner or its Affiliate a certificate from an accounting officer of Manager, in a form approved by
Manager’s accounting firm, certifying that, to his or her knowledge, the information contained in the Accounting Period Statements for the Accounting Periods contained within the applicable Fiscal Year or quarter are true and correct in all
material respects, subject to final adjustment based on the annual review conducted by Manager in preparing the Annual Operating Statement. Owner shall submit such request in writing, along with the date by which such certificate is to be delivered,
not less than five (5) business days prior to the requested delivery date, and Manager shall deliver the certificate by the requested date or, if later, within five (5) business days after Manager’s receipt of Owner’s request.

 B. In connection with Owner’s or its Affiliates’ certifications under Section 404 (“Section 404”)
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, Owner or such Affiliate shall have the right, at its option: 
 1. Either (i) to require Manager to
document its processes and related internal controls for Owner or such Affiliate to use in its required documentation under Section 404 or (ii) to have access to Manager’s books and records relating to the Hotel (including, without
limitation, reasonable access to Manager’s premises) to document Manager’s processes and related internal controls; and 
 2.
Either (i) to require testing by Manager of the controls identified in clause 1above or (ii) to have access to Manager’s books and records relating to the Hotel (including, without limitation, reasonable access to Manager’s
premises) to permit Owner or such Affiliate to test the controls identified in clause 1above. 
 Manager shall provide Owner’s or such
Affiliates’ independent auditors access to Manager’s books and records relating to the Hotel (including, without limitation, access to Manager’s premises) to conduct their audit of the testing performed pursuant to this
Section 4.08. If Owner or such Affiliate determine such controls have weaknesses which should be mentioned in 

  

 11 








 
Owner’s or such Affiliates’ report on internal controls under Section 404 or other certifications under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002,
Manager shall use reasonable best efforts to remedy and/or correct identified weaknesses in a timely manner. 
 ARTICLE V 

REPAIRS, MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENTS 
 5.01. Repairs and Maintenance to be Paid from Gross Revenues. 
 Subject to the availability of adequate funds, Manager shall
maintain the Hotel in good repair and condition, use commercially reasonable best efforts to comply with and abide by all applicable Legal Requirements pertaining to its operation of the Hotel and shall make or cause to be made such routine
maintenance, repairs and minor alterations as it determines are necessary for such purposes and as required pursuant to the terms of the Franchise Agreement. The phrase “routine maintenance, repairs, and minor alterations” as
used in this Section 5.01 shall include only those which are normally expensed under generally accepted accounting principles. The cost of such maintenance, repairs and alterations shall be paid from Gross Revenues (and not from the Reserve)
and shall be treated as a Deduction. 
 5.02. Repairs, Maintenance and Equipment Replacements to be Paid from Reserve. 
 A. At Owner’s option and request, a reserve account in the name of Owner (the “Reserve”) shall be established by Manager, in
a bank or similar institution reasonably acceptable to both Manager and Owner, to cover the cost of: 
 1. Replacements, renewals and
additions to the FF&E at the Hotel; and 
 2. Routine Capital Expenditures. 
 B. During the period from the Effective Date to the expiration of the thirteenth (13th) full Accounting Period after the Effective Date, Manager
shall transfer into the Reserve an amount equal to two percent (2%) of Gross Revenues for such period; during the period from the beginning of the fourteenth (14) full Accounting Period to the expiration of the twenty-sixth
(26th) full Accounting Period, Manager shall transfer into the Reserve an amount equal to four percent (4%) of Gross Revenues for each such Accounting Period; commencing with the beginning of the twenty-seventh (27th) full Accounting
Period and for all Accounting Periods thereafter, Manager shall transfer into the Reserve an amount equal to five percent (5%) of Gross Revenues for each such Accounting Period. Transfers into the Reserve shall be made at the time of each
interim accounting described in Section 4.01 hereof. All amounts transferred to the Reserve shall be deducted from Gross Revenues in determining Operating Profit and shall be deposited in the special Reserve account described in
Section 5.02.A. 
 C. Subject to the availability of adequate funds, Manager shall from time to time make such (1) replacements and
renewals to the FF&E of the Hotel, and (2) Routine Capital Expenditures, as may be agreed upon by Owner and Manager and as may be required by the Franchise Agreement. 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 

  

 12 








 
necessary to the operation of the Hotel 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 (x) proceeds from the disposition of FF&E, nor (y) interest which accrues on amounts held in the Reserve, shall (a) result in any reduction in the required contributions to
the Reserve set forth in Section 5.02.B above, nor (b) be included in Gross Revenues. 
 D. All repairs, alterations, improvements,
renewals or replacements made pursuant to this Article V, and all amounts kept in the Reserve, shall be the property of Owner, subject to Manager’s rights to apply such funds as otherwise provided in this Agreement. In addition and
notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no funds shall be expended for replacements, renewals and additions to the FF&E, for Routine Capital Expenditures or for any other capital expenditures unless each such expenditure is
included in the Annual Operating Projection approved by Owner. In the event that Owner requests that Manager perform capital improvements that are not included in the Annual Operating Projection, Manager will perform such improvements provided that
Owner and Manager have theretofore agreed upon a mutually satisfactory funding mechanism to pay for the cost of such improvements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case of threatened damage or destruction to the Hotel or persons or property thereon
due to force majeure or other comparable emergency, Manager may make such repairs, replacements or improvements to the Hotel as Manager reasonably deems necessary to avoid and/or minimize any such damage or destruction. 
 E. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, at Owner’s option the amounts that would otherwise be deposited into the Reserve
pursuant to this Section 5.02 shall be included in the Operating Profit, not deducted from Gross Revenues and shall be distributed in cash to Owner along with the remainder of the Owner’s Priority. In such case, Manager shall accrue such
amounts as a reserve on the accounting records of the Hotel, and Owner shall fund the same only when required under this Agreement to cover the appropriate costs actually incurred. However, such accrued and unfunded reserves shall be deducted from
Gross Revenues for purposes of calculating the Incentive Management Fee. 
 F. Unless otherwise expressly covered by this Article V
(including without limitation in case of emergency as provided in Section 5.02.D.), Manager shall not make any capital expenditure or improvement without first obtaining Owner’s prior written consent and approval. 
 ARTICLE VI

Owner’s prior approval and the provisions of Section 6.05, all insurance described in Sections 6.01 and 6.02 may be obtained by Manager by endorsement or equivalent

insurance companies issuing such policies. 
 6.04. Costs and Expenses. 
 Insurance premiums and any costs or expenses with respect to the insurance described in this Article VI shall be Deductions in determining Operating
Profit. Premiums on policies for more than one year shall be charged pro rata against Gross Revenues over the period of the policies. Any reserves, losses, costs, damages or expenses which are uninsured, or fall within deductible limits, shall be
treated as a cost of insurance and shall be Deductions in determining Operating Profit. 
 6.05. Owner’s Right to Provide
Insurance. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Owner and/or its Affiliates (including, without limitation, Landlord) shall have the right to procure and maintain any or all of the insurance for the Hotel
otherwise required to be maintained by Manager under this Article VI and in lieu of Manager’s procuring the same, provided that Owner shall give Manager not less than thirty (60) days notice of Owner’s intent to provide such insurance
and shall provide to Manager upon request certificates of insurance evidencing the same. In such case, all of the terms and conditions of this Article VI, to the extent applicable, shall govern the insurance procured by Owner under this
Section 6.05. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all insurance premiums and any costs or expenses and all deductibles with respect to such insurance shall be Deductions in determining Operating Profit. Each insurance policy
maintained by Owner or Manager in accordance with this Section 6.05 shall contain a waiver of subrogation in favor of the other party. 
 ARTICLE VII

 7.01. Damage and Repair.  
 A. If, during the Term, the Hotel is damaged or destroyed by fire,
casualty or other cause, Owner and/or Landlord may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, to repair or replace the damaged or destroyed portion of the Hotel with such modifications as Owner may deem appropriate or as may be required by law, and
Manager shall have the right to discontinue operating the Hotel 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 Hotel. All proceeds from the

 15 








 7.02. Condemnation. 
 A. In the event all or substantially all of the Hotel 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 Hotel shall be so taken, but the result is that either Owner or Manager reasonably determines that it is not feasible to continue to operate the Hotel in accordance with the standards required by this
Agreement, Owner or Manager may terminate this Agreement as of the effective date of such taking or such other date as may be agreed upon by Owner and Manager. All awards and proceeds of any such taking or proceeding shall belong to Owner and/or
Landlord, as the case may be. 
 B. In the event this Agreement is not terminated pursuant to Section 7.02.A, such portion of the Hotel
that is not so taken shall be repaired or replaced, with such modifications as Owner may deem appropriate or as may be required by law, and this Agreement shall continue except as may be otherwise agreed by the parties. All awards for any such

jurisdiction where the Hotel is located, pursuant to which: 
 1. This Agreement and any extensions, renewals, replacements or modifications

knowledge, there are no covenants, conditions or restrictions, including reciprocal easement agreements or cost-sharing arrangements (individually or collectively referred to as “CC&R(s)”) affecting the Site or the Hotel
which: (i) would prohibit or limit Manager from operating the Hotel in accordance with the System Standards; (ii) would allow the Hotel facilities (for example, parking spaces) to be used by persons other than guests, invitees or employees
of the Hotel; (iii) would allow the Hotel facilities to be used for specified charges or rates which have not been approved by Manager; (iv) would subject the Hotel to exclusive arrangements regarding food and beverage operation or retail

maintenance, repairs, alterations, improvements, renewals or replacements in or to the Hotel and shall cooperate fully in obtaining the release of any such liens. If the lien was not occasioned by the fault of either party, the cost of releasing any
lien shall be treated the same as the cost of the matter to which it relates. If the lien arises as a result of the fault of either party, then the party at fault shall bear the cost of obtaining the lien release. In no event shall either party
borrow money in the name of or pledge the credit of the other.
