 MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT 
 THIS MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is executed as of the 9th day of November, 2007 (“Effective Date”), by APPLE EIGHT HOSPITALITY MANAGEMENT, INC., a Virginia corporation
(“Owner”), with a mailing address at c/o Apple REIT Companies, 814 E. Main Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219, Attention: Krissy Gathright, and NEWPORT GREENSBORO MANAGEMENT, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company
(“Manager”), with a mailing address at c/o 4290 New Town Avenue, Williamsburg, Virginia 23188. 
 A. The party
identified as the “Landlord” in Schedule 1 attached hereto (“Landlord”) is the owner of the hotel identified in Schedule 1, as more particularly described in the definition of
“Hotel” in Section 11.01 hereof. 
 B. Landlord and Owner have entered into that certain Hotel Lease Agreement
dated as of the Effective Date (the “Hotel Lease”) pursuant to which Landlord leases the Hotel to Owner. 
 C. All
capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meaning set forth in Section 11.01 hereof. 
 D. Owner desires to engage Manager
to manage and operate the Hotel, and Manager desires to accept such engagement, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Owner and Manager agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I 
 APPOINTMENT OF MANAGER

 1.01. Appointment. 
 Owner hereby appoints and employs Manager as Owner’s exclusive independent contractor to supervise, direct and control the management and operation of the Hotel throughout the Term. Manager accepts said appointment and agrees to manage
the Hotel during the Term in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 
 1.02. Management of the Hotel. 

A. Manager shall manage the Hotel, including, without limitation, performance of the following functions, in accordance with Prudent Industry
Practices, the provisions of this Agreement and all standards imposed by the Franchise Agreement (provided that in all cases, except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement, the costs and expenses of performing such functions shall be
Deductions): 
 1. Recruit, employ, relocate, manage, supervise, direct and discharge all employees at the Hotel and maintain adequate staff,
consistent with Prudent Industry Practices and the Annual Operating Projection, to carry out its duties under this Agreement. 







 2. Establish prices, rates and charges for services provided in the Hotel, including Guest Room rates,
subject to Owner’s prior approval or as set forth in the Annual Operating Projection. 
 3. Establish and revise, as necessary,
administrative policies and procedures, including employment policies and procedures and policies and procedures for the control of revenue and expenditures, for the purchasing of supplies and services, for the control of credit and for the
scheduling of maintenance, and verify that the foregoing procedures are operating in a sound manner. 
 4. Make payments on accounts payable
and collect accounts receivable. 
 5. Procure (for Owner) all Inventories and replace Fixed Asset Supplies and otherwise incur customary and
reasonable expenses in the operation of the Hotel, subject to the approved Annual Operating Projection. 
 6. Prepare and deliver Annual
Operating Projections, Accounting Period Statements, Annual Operating Statements, and such other information as is required by this Agreement. 
 7. Plan, execute and supervise repairs and maintenance at the Hotel. 
 8. Obtain the insurance required to be obtained by Manager
pursuant to Article VI of this Agreement , subject to the provisions of Section 6.05. 
 9. Obtain and keep in full force and effect,
either in its own name or in Owner’s or Owner’s affiliate’s name, as may be required by applicable law, any and all licenses (including, without limitation, liquor licenses which shall be maintained in the name of Manager to the
extent permitted by law) and permits to the extent same is within the control of Manager (or, if same is not within the control of Manager, Manager shall use reasonable diligence and efforts to obtain and keep same in full force and effect).

 10. Execute subordination agreements, estoppel certificates and other documentation required by any purchaser or mortgagee and reasonably
cooperate (provided that Manager shall not be obligated to enter into any amendments of this Agreement) with Owner or Landlord in any attempt(s) by Owner or Landlord to effectuate a Sale of the Hotel or to obtain a Mortgage. 
 11. At the direction and with the concurrence of Owner, arrange for and supervise public relations and advertising and prepare marketing plans.

 12. Negotiate and enter into, on behalf of Owner, service contracts and other third party agreements required in the ordinary course of
operating the Hotel, provided that each such contract or agreement that requires expenditures in excess of $5,000 or is not terminable without penalty or fee must first be approved in advance by Owner. 
  

 2 








 13. Manage and operate the Hotel at all times in compliance with the Franchise Agreement, including
(without limitation) the Manual and the System Standards (as such terms are defined in the Franchise Agreement). 
 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 policies; granting of leases, subleases, licenses and concessions for shops and businesses within the Hotel, provided that the term of any such lease, sublease,
license or concession shall not exceed the lesser of one (1) year or the Term without the prior written approval of Owner; receipt, holding and disbursement of funds; maintenance of bank accounts; procurement of Inventories, supplies and
services; promotion and publicity; payment of costs and expenses as are specifically provided for in this Agreement or are otherwise reasonably necessary for the proper and efficient operation of the Hotel; and, generally, all activities necessary
for operation of the Hotel. With respect to all Material Management Decisions, Manager shall consult with Owner in advance of making any such decisions. The term “Material Management Decisions” means a decision to be made in
connection with any expenditure of more than $10,000 for each item or $50,000 in the 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. 
 C. Manager shall comply with and abide by all
applicable Legal Requirements pertaining to its operation of the Hotel. Landlord or Owner shall have the right, but not the obligation, in its reasonable discretion, to contest or oppose, by appropriate proceedings, any such Legal Requirements. The
reasonable expenses of any such contest of a Legal Requirement shall be paid from Gross Revenues as Deductions. Owner or Landlord, as applicable, shall indemnify and hold Manager harmless from any loss, claim, fees or expenses (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees) arising from the noncompliance with any Legal Requirement that Owner or Landlord chooses to contest or as to which Owner does not fund the cost of compliance. 
 1.03. Employees. 
 All personnel
employed at the Hotel shall at all times be the employees of Manager and not the employees of Owner. Manager shall have reasonable discretion with respect to all personnel employed at the Hotel, including, without limitation, decisions regarding
hiring, promoting, transferring, compensating, supervising, terminating, directing and training all 

  

 3 








 
employees at the Hotel, and, generally, establishing and maintaining all policies relating to employment; provided, however, that (i) Owner shall have
the right to approve the hiring or termination of the persons who occupy the position of General Manager for the Hotel and (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. Owner shall not pay for the relocation costs of any employees except for the cost of relocating the General Manager; provided, however, that (i) the relocation costs for the General Manager shall be subject to
Owner’s prior approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and (ii) 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 except to a hotel owned by Owner or an Affiliate of Owner. As is consistent with Prudent Industry Practices, Manager shall be responsible and liable for all acts or omissions of the
personnel employed at the Hotel and all persons managing such employees. 
 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 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 Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000); (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
Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) 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 

  

 4 








 
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 represents and warrants to Owner as follows: 
 A. Authority; No Conflicts. Manager is a limited liability company duly formed, validly existing and in good standing in the state identified in
Schedule 1. Manager has obtained all necessary consents to enter into and perform this Agreement and is fully authorized to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement. No consent or approval of any person, entity or
governmental authority is required for the execution, delivery or performance by Manager of this Agreement, and this Agreement is hereby binding and enforceable against Manager. Neither the execution nor the performance of, or compliance with, this
Agreement by Manager has resulted, or will result, in any violation of, or default under, or acceleration of, any obligation under any existing corporate charter, certificate of incorporation, bylaw, articles of organization, limited liability
company agreement or regulations, partnership agreement or other organizational documents of Manager and under any, mortgage indenture, lien agreement, promissory note, contract, or permit, or any judgment, decree, order, restrictive covenant,
statute, rule or regulation, applicable to Manager or, to the best of Manager’s knowledge, to the Hotel. 
 B. Bankruptcy.
Neither Manager nor any of its Affiliates, is insolvent or the subject of any bankruptcy proceeding, receivership proceeding or other insolvency, dissolution, reorganization or similar proceeding. 
 ARTICLE II 
 TERM 
 2.01. Term. 
 The
“Term” of this Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date and shall continue until the expiration date identified in Schedule 1. The Term will be automatically renewed for up to two (2) one-year periods unless
either party provides notice not less than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the expiration of the Term or the initial renewal Term, as the case may be, in which case this Agreement shall terminate as of the last day of the Term or the
initial renewal term, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Manager or Owner shall have the option to terminate this Agreement at any time from and after the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the
initial 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. Owner shall have the option to terminate this Agreement following
any Performance Termination Period with respect to which the following occurs: 
 1. The Operating Profit for the Performance Termination
Period is less than the Performance Termination Threshold; or 
  

 5 








 2. The Revenue Index of the Hotel during the Performance Termination Period is less than the Revenue
Index Threshold for such Performance Termination Period. 
 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 last Accounting Period Statement for Performance Termination 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. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, Manager at its option may elect to void such Termination by so notifying Owner within such sixty (60) day period; provided, however, that the amount that was necessary to have achieved the Performance
Termination Threshold or Revenue Index Threshold, as applicable (the “Deficit Amount”) shall be made up to Owner by either (i) Manager’s paying the Deficit Amount to Owner within ten (10) days after such 60-day period
(the “Cure Payment”) or (ii) offsetting the Deficit Amount against the Base Management Fees, the Incentive Management Fees and/or other amounts or reimbursements payable to Manager under this Agreement, as Owner may
direct. 
 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. 
 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 
  

 6 








 3. Any remaining balance of Operating Profit shall be paid to Owner. 
 Owner’s Priority shall not be cumulative from one Fiscal Year to the next, and to the extent the maximum amount of Owner’s Priority is unpaid
in any Fiscal Year, such unpaid amount shall not accrue and shall not 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. 
 3.03.
Reimbursables. 
 Although Manager shall not be required to advance its own funds for any purpose under this Agreement, Manager shall,
nonetheless, be reimbursed from Gross Revenues or by Owner for all reasonable amounts advanced by Manager, its employees, or agents, including, but not limited to, costs paid to third parties for property specific data processing, third party
payroll processing, costs incurred in complying with the requirements of Section 4.08 hereof, travel and out-of-pocket expenses, such as postage, facsimile, express courier, and long distance telephone expenses incurred in the performance of
Manager’s duties and obligations hereunder. Such expenses shall be set forth in the Annual Operating Projection. The provisions of this Section 3.03 shall survive Termination. 
 3.04. Termination Fee. 
 A. If this
Agreement is terminated by Owner for any reason prior to the expiration of the Term (including, but not limited to, a termination by Owner incident to a Sale of the Hotel as provided in Section 9.02 below), other than (i) a performance
termination as provided for in Section 2.02 above or (ii) in the case of an Event of Default by Manager or (iii) a termination due to an Operating Loss or (iv) termination as provided in Section 4.08 or (v) a
termination permitted under Article VII, Owner agrees to pay Manager a “Termination Fee,” as liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, equal to the sum obtained by multiplying: (1) one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual Base Management
Fee in the amount called for in the current Annual Operating Projection (but in no event less than the Base Management Fee for the preceding full Fiscal Year) times (2) the number of months remaining in the Term. Nothing in this paragraph is
intended to imply that Owner has any right to terminate this Agreement except as is expressly set forth elsewhere herein. 
 B. The parties
recognize that if this Agreement is terminated under circumstances that would entitle Manager to a Termination Fee in accordance with (A) above, Manager would suffer an economic loss by virtue of the loss of management fees that would otherwise
have been 

  

 7 








 
earned under this Agreement. Because such fees vary in amount depending upon the Gross Revenues of the Hotel and, accordingly, would be extremely difficult
and/or impractical to ascertain with certainty, the parties agree that the Termination Fee constitutes a reasonable estimate of such economic loss and is appropriately delineated as liquidated damages and not as a penalty. 
 C. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in the event of a termination for which a Termination Fee would otherwise be due, Owner may, in its sole and
absolute discretion, avoid payment of such Termination Fee by, within sixty (60) days of such termination, by naming Manager as manager for another hotel not already managed by Manager, provided that such substitute hotel is reasonably
comparable to the Hotel in size, number of rooms, quality of franchise, strength of geographic market, and gross revenue. If Manager is so appointed as manager of a substitute hotel, such management shall be pursuant to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement. 
 D. The provisions of this Section 3.04 shall survive Termination. 
 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
and the Base Management Fee 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 each SEC Filing Period, Manager shall deliver to
Owner (1) 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
(or comparable employee) certifying that, to the best of his or her knowledge, such Annual Operating Statement is true and correct and (2) a statement (the “Quarterly Operating Statement”) in reasonable detail
summarizing the operations of the Hotel for the immediately preceding calendar quarter and a certificate of Manager’s chief accounting officer (or comparable employee) certifying that, to the best of his or her knowledge, such Quarterly
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. 
  

 8 








 C. To the extent there is an Operating Loss for any Accounting Period, unless such loss was due to a
force majeure event, 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 not accrue and shall not be payable to Manager. 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. 
 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. In the event an Operating Loss occurs in respect of a Fiscal Year, either Owner or Manager may elect to terminate this Agreement. In no event shall Manager be obligated to invest its own
funds to cover any Operating Loss. 
 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
GAAP. Owner may at reasonable intervals and upon giving reasonable advance notice examine such records during Manager’s normal business hours. 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 an independent certified professional accountant
retained 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. The cost of the audit shall be paid by Owner and be a Deduction; 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

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 (each, “Manager’s Liability” and,
collectively, “Manager’s Liabilities”). 
 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
forty-five (45) 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 such 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 

  

 10 








 
to which it relates, the Manager shall be entitled to operate the Hotel in accordance with this Agreement with the maximum approved amount of expenditures to
be equal to (i) the aggregate of all items in the proposed budget which are not disputed by Owner, plus (ii) the sum of the actual expenditures for the items in dispute in the previous Fiscal Year increased by the increase (if any) in the
CPI on January 1 of the year in question over the CPI on January 1 of the previous year. 
 4.05. Working Capital.

 Owner, as of the Effective Date, shall establish a level of Working Capital funds, which shall be held in the Operating Accounts, that 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, Manager may increase the amount based on the CPI formula in Paragraph 4.04 above. 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 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 

  

 11 








 
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 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 (or equivalent employee) 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 

  

 12 








 
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 1 above 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 1 above. 
 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
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 within
thirty (30) days after notice; provided, however, that in the event that Manager does not so remedy and/or correct such weaknesses within the applicable thirty (30) day cure period, Owner shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement upon
thirty (30) days prior notice to Manager. Manager shall be responsible for any costs of Owner or its auditors associated with correcting or retesting any such weaknesses. 
 ARTICLE V

 Subject to the availability of adequate funds, Manager shall maintain the Hotel in good repair and condition, 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 or by Owner. 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. 
  

 13 








 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. Capital Expenditures. 
 B. During the Term, Manager shall transfer into the Reserve the amount(s) specified in Schedule 1. 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 at Owner’s expense 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. The Reserve will be kept in an interest-bearing account, and any interest which accrues thereon shall be retained in the Reserve. Interest which accrues on amounts held in
the Reserve, shall not (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 at Owner’s expense make such repairs,
replacements or improvements to the Hotel as Manager reasonably deems necessary to avoid and/or minimize any such injury, 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. 
  

 14 








 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.

other jurisdiction. Each of Owner and Manager hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to above. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such

 10.09. Confidentiality; Projections. 
 A. Owner and Manager agree that the terms of this Agreement (but not its existence) are strictly confidential and will use their reasonable efforts to
ensure that the terms of this Agreement are not disclosed to any outside person or entities without the prior written consent of the other party, except (1) as Owner or Manager may determine is required by any law, rule, regulation or judicial

achieve the results set forth in any such projections, pro formas, or other similar information. Owner further acknowledges that any such projections, pro formas, or other similar information are based on assumptions and estimates, unanticipated
events may occur subsequent to the date of preparation of such projections, pro formas, and other similar information, and the actual results achieved by the Hotel are likely to vary from the estimates contained in any such projections, pro formas,
or other similar information and such variations might be material. 
 10.10. Indemnification. 
 A. Manager hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Owner, its officers, directors, stockholders, employees, agents and their respective
successors and assigns from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, obligations and costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from (i) Manager’s or any of its Affiliate’s failure to comply with
its obligations under this Agreement and, to the extent provided herein, the obligations of the franchisee under the Franchise Agreement, (ii) any negligent act or omission, theft, fraud or willful misconduct of Manager or its Affiliates and
their respective employees or agents and (iii) any claim asserted by any employee or agent of Manager or its Affiliates, including any claim for employment discrimination, wrongful termination, violations of law and other claims asserted by
such employees, except, as to any of the items listed in clauses (i) – (iii) above, to the extent of any costs properly payable from Gross Revenues as Deductions, to the extent of any costs or claims covered by insurance and to the

obligations and costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from (i) Owner’s failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) any theft, fraud or willful misconduct of Owner or its Affiliates or their

 C. In agreeing to the
provisions relating to liability and indemnity contained in this Section 10.10, Owner, Landlord, and Manager recognize that simple mistakes and/or errors in judgment by Manager and the employees of Manager are ordinary risks of business in the
operation of the Hotel and that Manager is not assuming such risks and shall not be responsible for loss, liability, or costs resulting therefrom. Further, Manager is not undertaking to be an insurer against third party claims or the insurer of the
profitability of the Hotel. Furthermore, Manager is not assuming any liability for work performed or materials or equipment supplied by third parties. 
  

 26 








 D. Neither Owner, Landlord, nor Manager shall be liable for any special, indirect, incidental, or
consequential damages of any kind in connection with this Agreement, including without limitation, damages resulting from loss of profits, lost sales, business or goodwill, whether or not such party has been advised of the possibility of such
damages. 
 E. The provisions of this Section 10.10 shall survive Termination. 
 10.11. Actions to be Taken Upon Termination. 
 Upon a Termination, the following shall be applicable: 
 A. All fees or expenses due to Manager for the period before such
Termination shall be paid to Manager. On the effective date of such Termination, Manager shall cease all activities hereunder on behalf of Owner at the Hotel and shall have no further obligations hereunder except as to matters arising before such
date and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. However, Manager shall cooperate with Owner in the orderly transfer of management to Owner or Owner’s designated agent or manager. 
 B. Manager shall, within forty-five (45) days after Termination, prepare and deliver to Owner a final accounting statement with respect to the
Hotel, as more particularly described in Section 4.01 hereof, along with a statement of any sums due from Owner to Manager pursuant hereto, dated as of the date of Termination. Within thirty (30) days of the receipt by Owner of such final
accounting statement, the parties will make whatever cash adjustments are necessary pursuant to such final statement. The cost of preparing such final accounting statement shall be a Deduction, unless the Termination occurs as a result of an Event
of 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. 
 C. Manager shall immediately release and transfer to Owner any of Owner’s funds which are held or controlled by Manager with respect to the Hotel.

 D. Manager shall make available to Owner such books and records respecting the Hotel (including those from prior years) as will be needed
by Owner to prepare the accounting statements, in accordance with the GAAP, for the Hotel for the year in which the Termination occurs and for any subsequent year. 
 E. Manager shall (to the extent permitted by law) assign to Owner or to the new manager all operating licenses and permits for the Hotel which have been issued in Manager’s 

  

 27 








 
name (including liquor and restaurant licenses, if any); provided that if Manager has expended any of its own funds in the acquisition of any of any of such
licenses or permits, Owner shall reimburse Manager therefor if it has not done so already unless such expenditure is a Manager’s Liability. 
 F. If this Agreement is terminated by reason of Owner’s Event of Default, a reasonable reserve shall be established from Gross Revenues to reimburse Manager for all costs and expenses incurred by Manager in terminating its employees at
the Hotel, 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 Hotel. If Gross Revenues are insufficient to meet
the requirements of such reserve, then Owner shall deliver to Manager, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of Manager’s written request therefor, the sums necessary to establish such reserve. 
 G. If this Agreement is terminated before the expiration of the Term for any reason other than an Event of Default by Manager, Manager may submit to
Owner for its approval a budget with respect to expenses anticipated to be incurred by Manager to terminate its activities at the Hotel. Upon approval of such budget by Owner, Owner shall deposit the total amount of such budget into the Hotel’s
operating account, and Manager may use such deposit to pay such expenses. Manager shall provide Owner a final accounting of the foregoing, and any surplus remaining from such deposit shall be refunded to Owner. 
 H. Owner may, at its option, (i) provide Manager and/or the employees at the Hotel (or require Manager to provide to the employees at the Hotel) at
least sixty (60) days’ notice of a Termination and/or (ii) cause the entity which shall succeed Manager as the operator of the Hotel to offer employment to a sufficient number of the employees at the Hotel to avoid the occurrence, in
connection with such Termination, of a “plant closing” or “mass layoff” within the meaning of the WARN Act. If Owner elects to cause the entity which shall succeed Manager as operator of the Hotel to offer employment to certain
of Manager’s employees, Manager shall not take any action that would cause such employees not to continue as employees at the Hotel. 
 I. Various other actions shall be taken, as described in this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the actions described in Section 4.05. 
 J. Manager shall peacefully vacate and surrender the Hotel to Owner on the date of termination unless otherwise agreed to by the parties. 
 The provisions of this Section 10.11 shall survive Termination. 
  

 28 








 10.12. Waiver. 
 The failure of either party to insist upon a strict performance of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, or to exercise any option, right or remedy contained in this Agreement, shall not be construed as a
waiver or as a relinquishment for the future of such term, provision, option, right or remedy, but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect. No waiver by either party of any term or provision hereof shall be deemed to have been
made unless expressed in writing and signed by such party. 
 10.13. Partial Invalidity. 
 If any portion of any term or provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall be invalid or unenforceable, at
any time or to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term and
provision of this Agreement shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. 
 10.14. Survival. 
 Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement or where required to give effect to a provision of this Agreement or to avoid a forfeiture,
the rights and obligations of the parties herein shall not survive any Termination. 
 10.15. Negotiation of Agreement. 
 Owner and Manager are both business entities having substantial experience with the subject matter of this Agreement, and each has fully participated in
the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. Accordingly, this Agreement shall be construed without regard to the rule that ambiguities in a document are to be construed against the draftsman. No inferences shall be drawn from the fact that the
final, duly executed Agreement differs in any respect from any previous draft hereof. 
 10.16. Estoppel Certificates. 
 Each party to this Agreement shall at any time and from time to time, upon not less than fifteen (15) days’ prior notice from the other party,
execute, acknowledge and deliver to such other party, or to any third party specified by such other party, a statement in writing: (a) certifying that this Agreement is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been
modifications, that the same, as modified, is in full force and effect and stating the modifications); and (b) stating to the best knowledge of the certifying party (i) whether or not there is a continuing Default or Event of Default by
the non-certifying party in the performance or observance of any covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Agreement, (ii) the amount, if any, of any past due fees or other past due amounts owed to Manager or Owner; and
(iii) whether or not there are any past due and unpaid obligations with respect to the Hotel, other than in the ordinary course of business. Such statement shall be binding upon the certifying party and may be relied upon by the non-certifying
party and/or such third party specified by the 

  

 29 








 
non-certifying party as aforesaid. In addition, upon written request after a Termination, each party agrees to execute and deliver to the non-certifying
party and to any such third party a statement certifying that this Agreement has been terminated. 
 10.17. Affiliates. 
 Manager shall not be entitled to contract with companies that are Affiliates (or companies in which Manager has an ownership interest if such interest is
not sufficient to make such a company an Affiliate) or with third parties or their Affiliates that have other contractual relationships with Manager and/or its Affiliates to provide goods and/or services to the Hotel without the prior written
consent of Owner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Manager may contract with Affiliates to provide marketing, accounting and human resource services subject to the conditions that (i) the costs of such services are included in the Annual
Operating Projection approved by Owner and (ii) at the time Manager submits each Annual Operating Projection to Owner for its approval, Manager specifically identifies the services to be provided by Manager’s Affiliates. 
 10.18. Blocked Persons or Entities. 
 Manager represents and warrants to Owner and covenants for the benefit of Owner that (i) neither Manager nor any of its Affiliates or any of the officers, directors, partners or, to Manager’s knowledge, employees of Manager or its
Affiliates, or, to its knowledge, the funding sources for any of the foregoing, is or will be identified on the list of the U. S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Asset Control (“OFAC”); (ii) neither Manager nor any of its Affiliates
is or will be directly or indirectly owned or controlled by the government of any country that is subject to an embargo imposed by the United States government; and (iii) neither Manager nor any of its Affiliates is acting or will act on behalf
of a government of, or is involved in business arrangements or other transactions with, any country that is subject to such an embargo. Manager will notify Owner in writing immediately upon the occurrence of any event which would render the
foregoing representations and warranties incorrect. 
 10.19. Restrictions on Operating the Hotel in Accordance with System Standards.

 In the event of either (i) a Legal Requirement, including an order, judgment or directive by a court or administrative body which is
issued in connection with any Litigation involving Owner, or (ii) any action taken by a Mortgagee in connection with a Foreclosure, which in either case restricts or prevents Manager, in a material and adverse manner, from operating the Hotel
in accordance with System Standards (including without limitation, any restrictions on expenditures by Manager from the Operating Accounts or from the Reserve, other than restrictions which are set forth in this Agreement), Manager shall be
entitled, at its option, to terminate this Agreement upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to Owner. The foregoing shall not reduce or otherwise affect the rights of the parties under Article VIII. 
 10.20. Counterparts. 
 This Agreement
may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. Such 

  

 30 








 
executed counterparts may be delivered by facsimile which, upon transmission to the other party, shall have the same force and effect as delivery of the
original signed counterpart. The submission of an unsigned copy of this Agreement or an electronic instrument with or without electronic signature to either party shall not constitute an offer or acceptance. This Agreement shall become effective and
binding only upon execution and delivery of this Agreement in non-electronic form by both parties in accordance with this Section. 
 10.21.
Entire Agreement. 
 This Agreement, together with any other writings signed by the parties expressly stated to be supplemental hereto
and together with any instruments to be executed and delivered pursuant to this Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior understandings and writings, and may be changed only by a written non-electronic
instrument that has been duly executed by the non-electronic (which shall not be deemed to exclude facsimile) signature of an authorized representative of the parties hereto. 
 10.22. Franchise Agreement. 
 During
the Term of this Agreement, subject to the availability of adequate funds, Manager shall perform all of the obligations of Owner as “Franchisee” under the Franchise Agreement to the extent such obligations relate to the management or
operation of the Hotel, including, without limitation, the obligations of “Franchisee” under Sections XIII (Accounting and Records) and XIV (Insurance) of the Franchise Agreement, and Manager shall not commit any act or omit to take any
action that would cause a default by the Franchisee under the Franchise Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Franchise Agreement, the provisions of the Franchise Agreement
shall prevail. Manager shall send promptly to Owner any and all notices that Manager receives from the Franchisor with respect to the Hotel or the Franchise Agreement and shall keep Owner fully informed with respect to all matters that come to
Manager’s attention under the Franchise Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Manager shall not have the right to grant any consent, approval or other right reserved to the Franchisee under the Franchise Agreement or to make any decision or
agreement on behalf of Owner under the Franchise Agreement. In the event the Franchise Agreement is terminated for any reason, this Agreement shall also terminate effective as of the date of termination of the Franchise Agreement, unless the parties
hereto agree otherwise. 
 10.23. Operation of Other Hotels. 
 During the Term and except for the Hotel and the other hotels described in Schedule 1, neither Manager nor any of its Affiliates shall acquire,
lease, own, manage or operate, directly or indirectly, any hotel, inn, motel or other type of lodging facility, regardless of whether similar to the Hotel or whether operated under the same or a different brand, that is a Competing Hotel without
Owner’s prior written consent. In addition, if Manager or any of its Affiliates shall acquire, lease, own, manage or operate, directly or indirectly, any hotel, inn, motel or other type of lodging facility, regardless of whether similar to the
Hotel or whether operated under the same or a different brand, in the same geographic area or market as the Hotel, Manager shall not permit unfair favoritism in the operation and management of such other hotels that would 

  

 31 








 
disadvantage the operation or business of the Hotel (such as, by way of example only, directing potential Hotel guests to such other hotels instead of to the
Hotel). At Owner’s request, Manager shall provide such information as may reasonably be requested by Owner to determine if there has been any such unfair favoritism and, in the event Owner, in its reasonable business judgment, determines that
any such unfair favoritism has occurred, Owner may terminate this Agreement. For purposes of this Section, a “Competing Hotel” shall mean any hotel, inn, motel or other type of lodging facility that markets directly to or makes efforts to
attract customers, guests and/or hotel business that would otherwise do business with the Hotel. 
 10.24. Waiver of Jury Trial and
Punitive Damages. 
 Owner and Manager each hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally waive trial by jury and the right to claim
punitive damages in any litigation, action, claim, suit or proceeding, at law or in equity, arising out of or pertaining to this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document entered into in connection herewith. 
 10.25. Termination of the Hotel Lease. 
 Landlord represents and agrees that in the event of the cancellation or termination of the Hotel Lease for any reason, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect with Landlord substituted as Owner hereunder. 
 10.26. All Payments Subject to Availability of Funds. 
 Whenever Manager is required to make a payment hereunder, it is agreed that such obligation is subject to the availability of adequate operating funds (or other funds provided by Owner) after the payment of all
operating expenses of the Hotel.
