			9.1Accounting Procedures
		

		
			 
		

		
			Operator shall keep full and accurate books of account and other records reflecting the results of the operation of the Hotel on an accrual basis and in accordance with the Uniform System with such exceptions as may be required by the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that Operator may, with prior notice to Owner, make such modifications to the methodology in the Uniform System as are consistent with Operator's standard practice in accounting for its operations under management contracts generally, so long as such modifications do not affect the determination of Total Revenues, Operating Expenses or Fixed Charges under Article XL. Except for the books and records which may be kept in Operator's principal office or accounting office pursuant to the adoption of a central billing system or other centralized service, the books of account and all records relating to or reflecting the operation of the Hotel shall be kept at the Hotel, and such books of accounts and other records shall be available to Owner and its representatives at all reasonable times and upon reasonable prior written notices for examination, audit, inspection and transcription. All of such books and records including, without limitation, books of account, guest record and front office records shall be property of Owner. Upon any termination of this Agreement, all such books and records shall be turned over to Owner to ensure the orderly continuation of the operation of the Hotel. All of such books and records shall thereafter be available to Operator at all reasonable times for inspection, audit, examination and transcription for a period of three (3) years. In the event Owner elects to resume its own internal auditing of the Hotel, Operator hereby agrees and acknowledges that it will provide Owner with access to any and all system as may reasonably be required for Owner to undertake such auditing, including but not limited to any accounting hardware or software or any property-based management hardware or software. Owner may elect to perform its own internal accounting with consent of Operator, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and subject further to the Owner and Operator agreeing

			F.Such other monthly reports as Owner may reasonably request.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The Monthly Reports shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP using the Uniform System to the extent applicable and shall otherwise be prepared in accordance with Operator's standard financial reporting and budgeting practices, and to the extent the Operator is unable to provide information to the Owner, the Owner shall charge the Operator for the time and effort the Owner must expel to ensure its annual financial statement audit is completed by the required deadline. Operator shall use systems and reports that function with Owner’s existing systems, including the delivery of all information, including Monthly Reports, in a format acceptable to Owner.
		

		
			 
		

		
			9.3Audited Financials
		

		
			 
		

		
			If desired by Owner or required by Owner's Mortgage lender, year-end financial statements for the Hotel (including a balance sheet, income statement and statement of sources and uses of funds) shall be audited by an independent certified public accountant selected by Owner subject to Operator's reasonable approval, the cost of which shall be an Owner expense and not an Operating Expense. Such accountant shall address any findings, reports or opinions that concern Operator's work under this Agreement to both Operator and Owner. Operator shall provide reasonable assistance with such accountant in the preparation of such statements. Year-end final financial statement will be delivered within twenty-one (21) days of the last day of Owner’s Fiscal Year.
		

		
			 
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 





		

		
			 
		

		
			9.4Annual Budgets

			B.A capital budget (the "Capital Budget") setting forth in reasonable line-item detail proposed capital projects and expenditures for the Hotel including but not limited to FF&E expenditures. Any Operator proposed exceedances of the standards required by the Franchise Agreement that will materially increase the Capital Budget expenses shall require the consent of Owner; and
		

		
			 
		

		
			C.Such other reports or projections or meetings as Owner may reasonably request and to which Operator agrees.

Owner shall notify Operator in writing of its approval or disapproval of the Budgets not later than thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Budgets to Owner and, if Owner disapproves any such Budgets, Owner shall state in such notice the reasons therefor with reasonable specificity. Owner shall not disapprove any item in the Budgets that is reasonably necessary for the continued operation of the Hotel in accordance with the requirements of any of the Major Agreements and the operational standards set forth in this Agreement. In the event Owner fails to notify Operator in writing of its approval or disapproval of any Budgets on or before the expiration of such thirty (30) day approval period, then such Budgets shall be deemed approved by Owner.
		

		
			 
		

		
			9.5Resolution of Disputes over Budgets
		

		
			 
		

		
			If the Budgets (or any component of the Budgets) with respect to any Fiscal Year are disapproved by Owner in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, then, until approval of the Budgets (or such components) by Owner, Operator, until the resolution of such dispute, shall cause the Hotel to be operated substantially in accordance with most recent approved Budgets, except for, or as modified by (a) those components of such Budgets for the applicable Fiscal Year approved by Owner; (b) expenses that are variable based on the utilization of the Hotel, to the extent required based upon the occupancy of the Hotel which shall be paid as required; and
		

		
			(c) necessary expenses for the continued operation of the hotel in accordance with the Major Agreements, operational standards set forth in this Agreement, or in Operator's good faith judgment are necessary to protect the physical integrity or lawful operation of Hotel or the health
		

		
			 
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 





		

		
			 
		

		
			or safety of its occupants; provided, however, that Operator shall promptly notify Owner of expenditures for such expenses.
		

		
			 
		

		
			9.6Deviations from the Budgets
		

		
			 
		

		
			Upon approval by Owner of a Budget, Operator shall use its good faith efforts to manage, operate and maintain the Hotel for the subsequent Fiscal Year in accordance with the Budget and attempt to adhere thereto, as nearly as practicable, on the condition that if Operator shall be unable, with the exercise of due diligence, and all commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the approved Budget, such inability shall not by itself constitute a default under this Agreement.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Operator shall be authorized to take appropriate remedial action without receiving Owner's prior consent (i) in an emergency threatening the Hotel, its guests, invitees or employees; or (ii) if the continuation of the given condition will subject Operator and/or Owner to civil or criminal liability, and Owner has either failed to remedy the situation or has failed to take appropriate legal action to stay the effectiveness of any Laws. In such an event, Operator shall cooperate with Owner in the pursuit of any such action and shall have the right to participate therein.
		

		
			 
		

		
			9.7Approval for Capital Expenditures
		

		
			 
		

		
			Operator shall seek approval from Owner, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, for any capital expense that is over $5,000 individually, or $20,000 in the aggregate in the Fiscal Year, unless such expense(s) are provided for in the applicable Operating Budget or Capital Budget.

			12.4Cancellation and Modification of Insurance
		

		
			 
		

		
			All insurance policies shall specify that they cannot be canceled or modified on less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to both Owner and Operator and any additional insureds (or such longer period as may be required under a Major Agreement, provided that Operator has been advised in writing of such period).
		

		
			 
		

		
			12.5No Subrogation Rights
		

		
			 
		

		
			All insurance policies shall provide, to the extent customarily obtainable from the insurance company providing such insurance, that the insurance company will have no right of subrogation against Owner, Operator, any party to a Major Agreement or any of their respective agents, employees, partners, members, officers, directors or beneficial assigns. Owner and Operator hereby release one another from any and all liability, to the extent of the waivers of subrogation obtained under Section 12.5, associated with any damage, loss or liability with respect to which property insurance coverage is provided pursuant to this Article or otherwise.
		

		
			 
		

		
			12.6Insurance Proceeds
		

		
			 
		

		
			The proceeds of any insurance claim (other than proceeds payable to third parties under the terms of the applicable policy) shall be paid into the Operating Account to the extent of Owner's interest therein unless otherwise required by the terms of a Major Agreement.
		

		
			 
		

		
			12.7Payment for Insurance

			SPECIAL TERMINATION EVENTS
		

		
			 
		

		
			13.1Performance Test
		

		
			 
		

		
			If, in each of any two (2) consecutive complete Fiscal Years during the Term, both of the following occurs: (a) the RevPAR index for each Fiscal Year (as determined by data from STR for a competitive set of hotels mutually agreed upon by Operator and Owner) shall be less than one hundred percent (100%) based upon the trailing 12 months; and also (b) the Gross Operating Profit for each such Fiscal Year as determined in accordance with the annual audit provided for in Section
		

		
			10.4 shall be less than Twenty (20%) of the amount in the approved Budgets for each such Fiscal Years, then, upon payment in full of all amounts then due and owing to Operator and the performance in full of all of Owner's obligations to Operator and/or any affiliate of Operator, Owner may terminate this Agreement upon ninety (90) days written notice given to Operator not more than sixty (60) days after Owner's receipt of RevPAR index data and audit for the second consecutive Fiscal Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the test under (a) of the preceding sentence will not apply during any year that the Hotel undergoes any material renovation and for twelve (12) months following the completion of such renovation. If Owner elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 13.1, Operator may elect, by written notice given to Owner within thirty (30) days after the giving of Owner's termination notice, to make an advance (the "Cure Payment") to Owner in an amount equal to the amount by which Gross Operating Profit for the second of the two Fiscal Year years in such two consecutive Fiscal Year period is less than the approved Budget for such Fiscal Year (the "Base Level"). If Operator makes the Cure Payment within thirty (30) days after Operator receives the foregoing termination notice, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding Owner's election to terminate and, for the purpose of applying this Section 13.1 to future Fiscal Years within the Term, Gross Operating Profit for the calendar year for which Operator made a Cure Payment shall be deemed to be greater than One Hundred Ten Percent (110%) of approved Budget for such Fiscal year.

			14.1Fire or Casualty
		

		
			 
		

		
			If the Hotel is damaged by fire or other casualty, Operator shall promptly, but in no event wait more than twenty-four (24) hours to, notify Owner. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect subsequent to such casualty provided that either party may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days prior notice to the other party if (a) Owner shall elect to close the Hotel permanently as a result of such casualty (except on a temporary basis for repair or restoration) or
		

		
			(b)Owner shall determine in good faith not to proceed with the restoration of the Hotel and provided further that Operator may terminate this Agreement upon sixty (60) days prior notice to Owner if twenty percent (20%) or more of the rooms in the Hotel are unavailable for rental for a period of sixty (60) days or longer as a result of such casualty.
		

		
			 
		

		
			14.2Condemnation
		

		
			 
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 





		

		
			 
		

		
			If all or any portion of the Hotel becomes the subject of a condemnation proceeding or if Owner or Operator learns that any such proceeding may be commenced, such party shall promptly, but in no event wait more than twenty-four (24) hours to, notify the other party promptly upon receipt of written notice thereof. Either party may terminate this Agreement on sixty (60) days' notice to the other party if (1) all or substantially all of the Hotel is taken through condemnation or (2) less than all or substantially all of the Hotel is taken, but, in the reasonable judgment of the party giving the termination notice, the Hotel cannot, after giving effect to any restoration as might be reasonably accomplished through available funds from the condemnation award, be profitably operated as a hotel consistent with the requirements of the hotel franchise agreement then in effect with respect to the Hotel.
		

		
			 
		

		
			14.3Miscellaneous
		

		
			 
		

		
			Any condemnation award or similar compensation shall be the property of Owner, provided that, subject to the provisions of any first mortgage or deed of trust loan encumbering the Hotel, Operator shall have the right to bring a separate proceeding against the condemning authority for any damages and expenses specifically incurred by Operator as a result of such condemnation. Upon any termination of the Agreement under this Article XV, Operator shall be entitled to receive the Termination Fee provided in Article XVII.

			TERMINATION
		

		
			 
		

		
			16.1Termination Fee
		

		
			 
		

		
			Upon any termination of this Agreement by Operator pursuant to Section 15.1A, B or E, or by Owner or Operator pursuant to Section 13.1 or Article XV (an "Early Termination"), Owner shall, in addition to any other rights or remedies that may be available to Operator, pay to Operator the Termination Fee. Any Termination Fee due from Owner to Operator shall be payable within thirty (30) days of termination of this Agreement. The calculation of the Termination Fee is set forth herein. If there is a dispute between Owner and Operator as to the amount of the Termination Fee, this Agreement shall nonetheless terminate, Owner shall pay to Operator the amount that is not in dispute and shall deposit the disputed portion in an escrow satisfactory to Owner and Operator with interest on the amount in escrow to be allocated in proportion to the manner in which the escrow fund is ultimately allocated, and the parties shall thereafter resolve the amount of the Termination Fee.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(a)If the Termination Date occurs during the first year of the Initial Term then the Termination Fee is $400,000;

			In the event the Owner sells the Hotel to an unrelated third party before the fourth anniversary of the Contract Commencement date, and either (i) assigns to new owner this agreement, or (ii) termination of this agreement is contemporaneous the execution of a continuing management agreement for Operator on substantially similar terms to this Agreement, then Operator shall waive any such fees contemplated under this Agreement. In the event the Owner sells the Hotel to an unrelated third party before the fourth anniversary of the Contract Commencement date, and neither (i) assigns to new owner this agreement, or (ii) termination of this agreement is contemporaneous the execution of a continuing management agreement for Operator on substantially similar terms to this Agreement, then the Termination Fee payable to Operator shall be discounted to $50,000.

Owner shall have the right to make copies of all re-hired employee files and other non-proprietary files and information relating to management of the Hotel upon request, and any actions required by such request will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Operator shall have the right to retain copies of all financial records, documents, guest logs, correspondence or other materials proprietary to the Hotel upon request, and any actions required by such request will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

			Owner acknowledges that Operator or its Affiliates or the PEO employer of Hotel employees may have an obligation under applicable law (including the WARN Act) to give advance notice to Hotel personnel of any termination of employment and that failure to comply with such notification obligation might give rise to certain liabilities under applicable law. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the effective date of termination may, at Operator's discretion, be extended to permit Operator to comply with all time periods under applicable law (including the WARN Act) if any, unless Owner agrees in writing to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Operator and its Affiliates from and against all claims (including lost compensation, fines, penalties and attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by Operator or its Affiliates or the PEO employer of Hotel employees, arising thereunder as a result of such termination.

			20.1Indemnity of Operator
		

		
			 
		

		
			Operator hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Owner (and Owner's agents, principals, shareholders, partners, members, officers, directors and employees) harmless from and against all liabilities, losses, claims, damages, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) that may be incurred by or asserted against any such party and that arise from or in connection with (a) the fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence of the General Manager and/or any off-site employees of Operator, (b) the breach by Operator of any
		

		
			 
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 





		

		
			 
		

		
			provision of this Agreement, or (c) any action taken by Operator which is beyond the scope of Operator's authority under this Agreement. Owner shall promptly provide Operator with written notice of any claim or suit brought against it by a third party, which might evoke such indemnification. Owner shall cooperate with the Operator or its counsel in the preparation and conduct of any defense to any such claim or suit.
		

		
			 
		

		
			20.2Indemnity of Owner
		

		
			 
		

		
			Except as provided in Section 20.1, Owner hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Operator (and Operator's agent, principals, shareholders, partners, members, officers, directors and employees) harmless from and against all liabilities, losses, claims, damages, cost and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney's fees and expenses) that may be incurred by or asserted against such party and that arise from or in connection with the fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence of Owner. Operator shall promptly provide Owner with written notice of any claim or suit brought against it by a third party, which might evoke such indemnification. Operator shall cooperate with the Owner or its counsel in the preparation and conduct of any defense to any such claim or suit.
		

		
			 
		

		
			20.3Employment Claims
		

		
			 
		

		
			Supplementing the provisions of Section 20.1 and 20.2, if any claim shall be made against Owner and/or Operator which is based upon a violation or alleged violation of the Employment Laws (an "Employment Claim"), the Employment Claim shall fall within Operator's indemnification obligations under Section 20.1 only if it is based upon the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the General Manager of the Hotel and/or Operator's off-site employees.
		

		
			 
		

		
			20.4Procedure for Indemnity
		

		
			 
		

		
			If any action, lawsuit or other proceeding shall be brought against any party (the "Indemnified Party") hereunder arising out of or based upon any of the matters for which such party is indemnified under this Agreement, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the party required to provide indemnification hereunder (the "Obligor") in writing thereof and Obligor shall promptly assume the defense thereof (including without limitation the employment of counsel selected by Obligor), such defense to be subject to the consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided, however, by way of illustration and not limitation, it shall be reasonable for the Indemnified Party to deny consent to any settlement that requires the Indemnified Party to admit guilty or liability). The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Obligor in the defense of any such action, lawsuit or proceeding, on the condition that the Obligor shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for any out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith. The Obligor shall have the right to negotiate settlement or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to the matters indemnified hereunder; provided, however, that if any such settlement or consent judgment contemplates any action or restraint on the part of Indemnified Party, then such settlement or consent judgment shall require the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In addition to the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at the expense of the Indemnified Party, to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof. An Indemnified Party may settle any action for which it is indemnified hereunder
		

		
			 
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 





		

		
			 
		

		
			on behalf of itself only (i.e., with respect to its own liability and with no requirement of Obligor to admit guilt or liability) with the prior written consent of Obligor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided, however, by way of illustration and not limitation, it shall be reasonable for Obligor to deny consent to any settlement that requires Obligor to expend funds in an amount Obligor determines in good faith to be appropriate so long as the Indemnified Party remains adequately protected at all times). In the even the Obligor fails to use reasonable efforts to defend or compromise any action, lawsuit or other proceeding for which an Indemnified Party is indemnified hereunder, the Indemnified Party may, at Obligor's expense and without limiting Obligor's liability under the applicable indemnity, assume the defense of such action and the Obligor shall pay the charges and expenses of such attorneys and other persons on a current basis within thirty (30) days of submission of invoices or bills therefore. In the event the Obligor is Owner and Owner neglects or refuses to pay such charges, Operator may pay such charges out of the Operating Account and deduct such charges from any amounts due Owner, or add such charges to any amounts due Operator from Owner under this Agreement. If Operator is the Obligor and Operator neglects or refuses to pay such charges, the amount of such charges shall be deducted from any amounts due Operator under this Agreement.
		

		
			 
		

		
			20.5Survival Beyond Termination
		

		
			 
		

		
			The provisions of this Article shall survive the termination of this Agreement with respect to acts, omissions and occurrences arising during the Term.
		

		
			 
		

		
			ARTICLE XXI MISCELLANEOUS
		

		
			21.1Binding and Enforceable Agreement

			21.2Transactions with Affiliates
		

		
			 
		

		
			Operator may engage one or more of its affiliates or other related parties to furnish goods or services to Hotel, provided, however, that the terms of any such arrangement, when taken as a whole, shall not be materially less favorable to the Hotel than the prevailing terms of similar such arrangements obtainable on a commercially reasonable basis from unrelated parties in the area of Hotel. Operator shall promptly notify Owner of any such engagement of Operator's affiliates to the extent such engagement and affiliations are not included in the applicable Budgets.
		

		
			 
		

		
			21.3Entire Agreement
		

		
			 
		

		
			This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matters hereof, superseding all prior agreements or undertakings, oral or written.

			21.8Qualified Loans
		

		
			 
		

		
			Excluding Operator's right to receive payment of the Base Fee, Incentive Fee (to the extent accrued), Centralized Service Fees and reimbursement and other amounts due to Operator pursuant to this Agreement, each of which as contemplated in accordance with approved Budgets, Operator agrees to subordinate this Agreement to the lien of any Qualified Loan which now or hereafter encumber the Hotel; provided, however, Operator shall have the right to condition such subordination on its receipt of a commercially reasonable form of non-disturbance agreement from a Qualified Lender (as hereafter defined). The term "Qualified Loan" means (i) any loan from a Qualified Lender secured by a mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Hotel or all of any part of Owner's interest therein, and (ii) all amendments, modifications, supplements and extensions of any such mortgage or deed of trust. The term "Qualified Lender" means any recognized third party institutional lender such as any federally insured commercial or savings bank, national banking association, savings and loan association, investment banking firm, commercial finance company and other similar lending institution that is a holder of a Qualified Loan.

			This Section 21.9 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
		

		
			 
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 





		

		
			 
		

		
			21.10No Guarantee of Operating Results
		

		
			 
		

		
			Owner acknowledges that (a) all budgets and financial projections, prepared by Operator or its Affiliates prior to the Commencement Date or under this Agreement, are intended to assist in operating the Hotel, but are not to be relied on by Owner or any third party as to the accuracy of the information or the results predicted therein, and (b) Operator does not guarantee the accuracy of the information nor the results of in such budgets and projections. Accordingly, Owner agrees that (i) neither Operator nor its Affiliates shall have any liability whatsoever to Owner or any third party for any divergence between such budgets and projections and actual operating results achieved, (ii) the failure of the Hotel to achieve any forecasted Total Revenue in the Budgets or shall not constitute a default by Operator or give Owner the right to terminate this Agreement, and
		

		
			(i)if Owner provides any such budgets or projections to a third party, Owner shall advise such third party in writing of the substance of the disclaimer of liability set forth in this Section 21.10.
		

		
			 
		

		
			21.11Oversight of Renovation Services
		

		
			 
		

		
			Owner acknowledges that any review, advice, assistance, recommendation or direction provided by Operator with respect to the design, construction, equipping, furnishing, decoration, alteration, improvement, renovation or refurbishing of the Hotel (including, if applicable, the property improvement plan or any capital expenditure) (a) is intended solely to assist Owner in the development, construction, maintenance, repair and upgrading of the Hotel and Owner's compliance with its obligations under this Agreement, and (b) does not constitute any representation, warranty or guaranty of any kind whatsoever that (i) there are no errors in the plans and specification, and (ii) there are no defects in the design of construction of the Hotel or installation of any building systems or FF&E therein, or (c) the plans, specifications, construction and installation work will comply with all applicable laws (including the American with Disabilities Act or similar laws or regulations governing public accommodations for individuals with disabilities). Accordingly, Owner agrees that neither Operator nor its Affiliates shall have any liability whatsoever to Owner or any third party for any (1) errors in the plans and specifications,
		

		
			(2) defects in the design of construction of the Hotel or installation of any building systems or FF&E therein, or (3) non-compliance with any engineering and structural design standards or applicable laws.
		

		
			 
		

		
			21.12Operating Funds
		

		
			 
		

		
			Operator's obligations under this Agreement are subject in all respects to the availability of sufficient funds from the operation of the Hotel, or which are otherwise provided by Owner. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all costs and expenses of operating the Hotel shall be payable out of funds from the operation of the Hotel, or which are otherwise provided by Owner. In no event shall Operator be obligated to pledge or use its own credit or advance any of its own funds to pay any such costs or expenses for the Hotel. Operator is not, and never shall be, liable to any creditor of Owner or its subsidiaries or affiliates for any debt incurred by Operator which was incurred in furtherance of Operator's services hereunder for the Hotel. Owner agrees, unless Operator exceeds the scope of its authority and must indemnify Seller pursuant to Section 20.1, to indemnify and hold Operator harmless from and against any and all such claims of creditors and against all costs, charges and expenses (including attorney's fees and expenses) incurred or sustained by Operator in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to
		

		
			 
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 





		

		
			 
		

		
			which it may be made a party by any creditor of Owner or with respect to any debt incurred by Operator which was incurred in furtherance of providing the services hereunder for the Hotel (the "Credit Obligation"). In the event that Operator has pledged or used its own credit, or advanced any of its own funds to pay any costs or expenses, for the Hotel, Owner may be required to provide a parent guaranty to guarantee any such Credit Obligation and for repayment of any such extensions of credit by Operator upon thirty (30) days prior written notice from Operator. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Operator shall be relieved from its obligations to operate the Hotel in accordance with this Agreement whenever and to the extent that Operator is prevented or restricted in any way from doing so by reason of (a) the occurrence of a Force Majeure event, (b) Owner's breach of any term of this Agreement (including Owner's obligation to provide sufficient funds or a parent guaranty as required under this Agreement), or (c) any limitation or restriction in this Agreement on Operator's authority or ability to expend funds in respect of the Hotel. The provisions of this Section 21.12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement with respect to acts, omissions and occurrences arising during the Term.
		

		
			 
		

		
			21.13Consents and Approvals
		

		
			 
		

		
			Owner acknowledges that in granting any consents, approvals or authorizations under this Agreement, and in providing any advice, assistance, recommendation or direction under this Agreement, neither Operator nor its Affiliates guarantee success or a satisfactory result from the subject of such consent, approval, authorization, advice, assistance, recommendation or direction. Accordingly, Owner agrees that neither Operator nor its Affiliates shall have any liability whatsoever to Owner or any third person by reason of (a) any consent, approval or authorization, or advice, assistance, recommendation or direction, given or withheld by Operator, or (b) any delay or failure by Operator to provide any consent, approval or authorization, or advice, assistance, recommendation or direction.
		

		
			 
		

		
			21.14Signature Counterparts
		

		
			 
		

		
			To facilitate execution, this Agreement may be executed in as many counterparts as may be required, each of which so executed shall be deemed an original, irrespective of the date of its execution and delivery, and counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts delivered by facsimile, email or other electronic means shall be deemed originals for all purposes. It shall not be necessary that the signature on behalf of both parties hereto appear on each counterpart hereof.
		

		
			 
		

		
			21.15Subordination, Non-Disclosure and Attornment
		

		
			 
		

		
			Owner will endeavor to ensure that existing and future mortgagees and lessors provide Operator with commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreements in form and content reasonably acceptable to Operator, which agreements shall if acceptable to future mortgagee and lessors, preclude the termination of this Agreement absent the uncured breach of this Agreement by Operator, and shall further preclude the conveyance or leasing of the Hotel (whether on foreclosure, deed in lieu thereof or otherwise) to any Person to which Owner could not assign this Agreement without Operator's consent. Operator shall negotiate such agreements in good faith, and execution of such agreement shall not be unreasonable delayed.
