CONTRACTOR 
 Section 4.01. Operator Status. 

In the performance of its duties in the administration, management and operation of the Hotel, Operator shall act solely as an independent
contractor. Nothing herein shall constitute or be construed to be or create a partnership or joint venture between Lessee and Operator, or be construed to appoint or constitute Operator as an agent of Owner for any purpose, or be construed to create
a lease by Operator of the Hotel or the Property and Operator shall not constitute a tenant or subtenant of Lessee or Owner. Operator’s rights under this Agreement shall be those of an agent only and shall not constitute an interest in real
property. Lessee or Owner shall have the right to lease, develop or sell excess land or structures not required for operation of the Hotel. It is expressly covenanted that this Agreement is no more than an agreement for the rendering of services by
Operator on behalf of Lessee in the operation and management of the Hotels. 
 Section 4.02. Employees. 

Operator agrees that Lessee will have the right to review, interview, approve, or override, the hiring of Hotel General Manager and if applicable, Director of
Sales. Operator will use all methods at their disposal to find qualified candidates for the above listed positions. Operator agrees that if termination of either General Manager or Director of Sales occurs, Operator will put temporary or task force
help in those vacated positions to insure continued smooth running operations of Hotel. 
 (a) Each Hotel employee shall be the employee of
Operator, or an affiliate company of Operator, and not of Lessee, and every person performing services in connection with this Agreement shall be acting as the employee of Operator, but their salaries and other related expenses shall be an Operating
Expense. 
 (b) Operator shall provide evidence to Lessee of statutory Worker’s Compensation Insurance and Employer’s Liability
Insurance for each such employee. The insurance coverages (including, without limitation, the carrier, policy limits of each and waiver of subrogation endorsements) must be in form, substance and amount satisfactory to Lessee in all respects. Upon
request of Lessee, Operator will deliver to Lessee waiver of subrogation endorsements in favor of Lessee and Owner.

 (a) All
costs of every nature pertaining to all employees at the Hotel, including, without limitation, salaries, benefits, EPLI coverage, the terms of any bonus plan or arrangement, costs incurred in connection with governmental laws and regulations and
insurance rules, shall be set forth in the Approved Budget as an Operating Expense. 
 (b) Compensation, overhead costs and other expenses
of Operator and its Affiliates not specifically provided for herein shall not be Operating Expenses and shall not be payable or reimbursable by Lessee; provided, however, Operator may include in the calculation of Operating Expenses the salary of
any of Operator’s employees located at the Operator’s corporate headquarters which have been temporarily transferred to a Hotel to serve that Hotel exclusively; provided, further, that Operator may only include in Operating Expenses that
portion of that employee’s salary which is not to exceed 10% of the normal rate charged for that employment position. Operator may also include in the calculation of Operating Expenses reasonable travel costs associated with Operator’s
employees located at the Operator’s corporate headquarters which have been temporarily transferred to a Hotel to serve that Hotel exclusively. Lessee reserves the right to approve temporary travel schedule. 

Section 4.04. Employee Benefit Plans. 

Operator shall enroll employees at the Hotels in medical and health, life insurance and employee benefit plans which are approved by Lessee.
Operator’s contributions to such plans, reasonable administrative fees, at cost, which may be expended in connection therewith, and reasonable expenses for such plans will be estimated and disclosed to Lessee in advance and provided for in the
Approved Budget and will be an Operating Expense. Except for employer matching contributions under any 401(k) plan, Lessee, in its sole discretion shall determine whether to require employees at the Hotels to pay all or a portion of the costs of the
employees’ participation in such plans. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.03, all costs referenced in Section 4.03 and this Section 4.04 will be the responsibility of Lessee only to the extent the same are provided for in
the Approved Budget. Upon Lessee’s request, Operator will establish a 401(k) plan as an employee benefit plan. All costs incurred by Operator pursuant to actions taken by Operator at Lessee’s direction will be Operating Expenses. 

Section 4.05. Execution of Agreements. 
 (a)
Except as provided in Section 4.05(b), Operator shall execute as agent of Lessee leases and other agreements relating to equipment and/or services provided to each Hotel, all of which, unless otherwise approved in writing in advance by Lessee,
shall either be a term of one year or less or be cancelable upon not more than thirty (30) days’ written notice by Operator or

Lessee without the payment of a penalty or fee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the prior written approval of Lessee, Operator shall not enter into any agreement (i) which provides
for the payment of sums not authorized by Lessee in an Approved Budget, (ii) which would give rise to a lien upon all or any part of the Property, (iii) which would result in liability to Lessee for sums other than as set forth in the
applicable Approved Budget, (iv) to lease any part of any Property, (v) relating to alterations to the exterior, interior or structural design of the Hotel, (vi) which requires an unbudgeted payment of more than $5,000, or in the case

than thirty (30) days or (ix) contracts for multiple rooms and / or multiple days that (A) exceed a 1-year term and / or (B) exceed 40% of properties’ room inventory for a period of 14 days or more, or (C) exceed 50
room nights and have a negotiated net rate of $40 or less for economy properties, and $55 or less for midscale and above, this includes promoting such rates online, in print ads such as coupons. If Operator desires to enter into any agreements
requiring the consent of Lessee, Operator shall first send written notice of intent to enter into such agreement to Lessee, and Lessee shall either approve or disapprove within five (5) business days of receipt of such notice. Lessee’s
failure to timely respond to said request shall be deemed approval. 
 (b) Subject to Lessee’s prior approval of the same and upon
Lessee’s written request, Operator shall execute, as agent for Lessee, (i) all leases, as sub-lessor, of any space at any Property, and (ii) equipment rental and/or lease agreements which cannot be terminated upon thirty
(30) days notice or less without the payment of a penalty or fee. Operator shall exercise its best efforts to obtain in each equipment agreement a right on the part of the lessee of such equipment to terminate the same on thirty (30) days
notice or less without the payment of a penalty fee. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.05 to the contrary, Lessee reserves the right, exercisable at Lessee’s option, to execute any lease or other agreement relating to equipment
and/or services being provided to the Hotel.

Lessee harmless against all claims, demands, actions, liabilities, losses, damages, lawsuits and other proceedings at law or in equity, judgments, awards, commissions, fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and
expenses), of every kind and nature whatsoever to or of any party connected with, or arising out of, or by reason of any gross negligent act or omission, breach of contract, willful misconduct, or tortious actions by Operator, or any Affiliate of

 Section 5.02. Limitations on Indemnification. 

None of the indemnifications set forth in Section 5.01 shall be applicable to (1) liability resulting from the design or construction
of the Hotel, or (2) that portion of a liability which is covered and paid for by insurance maintained for the Hotel. The standard of performance of which Operator is to be responsible under this Agreement shall be that, reasonably and
diligently exercised, of a professional hotel operator. Settlement of a third party claim shall not be prima facie evidence that a party has triggered an indemnification obligation hereunder. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.01
above, neither Lessee nor Operator will assert against the other and each does hereby waive with respect to the other any claims for any losses, damages, liabilities and expenses (including lawyers’ fees and disbursements) incurred or sustained
by that party as a result of damage or injury to persons or property arising out of the ownership, operation or management of the Hotels, to the extent that the damage and injury are covered by insurance and the proceeds are actually recovered from
the insurer.

by reason of any gross negligent act or omission, breach of contract, willful misconduct, or tortious actions by Lessee or any Affiliate of Lessee, or any officer, employee, agent, contractor, subcontractor, or other person or entity working for
Lessee or any Affiliate of Lessee. The indemnification provisions of this Section 5.03 are subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5.02. Lessee will indemnify and hold Operator harmless from all costs, expenses, claims, damages and
liabilities, including without limitation, lawyers’ fees and disbursements, arising or resulting from Lessee’s failure following the expiration or earlier termination (for whatever cause) of this Agreement to provide all of the services
contracted for in connection with the business booked on commercially reasonable terms for the Hotels on or prior to the date of such expiration or termination. The provisions of this Section will survive any expiration or termination of this
Agreement and will be binding upon Lessee and its successors and assigns, including any successor or assign that becomes the beneficial or legal owner of the Hotels after the effective date of any such expiration or termination. 

Section 5.04. Survival of Indemnity.

provisions of this Article V shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement with respect to matters arising out of facts or circumstances occurring during the period prior to such expiration or termination.

the submission of the Hotel Capital Budget, Operator shall submit to Lessee monthly budgeted occupancy, average daily rate and RevPAR statistics for each hotel. The Hotel Operating Budget and the monthly budgeted hotel operating statistics shall
contain Operator’s reasonable good faith estimates of the amounts set forth therein. Operator shall provide Lessee, upon request, all details, information and assumptions used in preparing the Hotel Capital Budget and the Hotel Operating
Budget. Owner shall be responsible for implementing the Hotel Capital Budget and may, in Owner’s sole discretion, increase, decrease, delete or modify in any respect any capital expenditure in any Hotel Capital Budget.

meeting to resolve the points of disagreement. In the event that Lessee and Operator are unable to agree on the Hotel Operating Budget for a Hotel prior to the commencement of the applicable Fiscal Year, an interim operating budget shall be
implemented which will reflect CPI increases for expenses and RevPAR increases based on the appropriate previous 12-month RevPAR growth percentage for the Competitive Set in which the Hotel is included, as published by Smith Travel Research, for

good faith judgment, for the immediate emergency protection of life or property. Lessee shall endeavor to respond to any such request within two (2) business days of the receipt thereof; provided, however, Lessee shall have no obligation to
agree to any such request and no liability for failing to respond and failure to respond to such request within such two (2) business day period shall be deemed a denial of the request.

during the Operating Term any Hotel or any portion thereof should be damaged or destroyed, Owner and Lessee shall have the respective rights and obligations set forth in the Lease with respect to damage or destruction. In the event the Hotel is not
repaired, rebuilt or replaced, Lessee may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Operator, effective as of the date sent and the parties shall treat such termination as if it were in connection with the sale of the Hotel in accordance with
Section 16.03. If at any time during the Operating Term any Hotel or any portion thereof should be damaged or destroyed such that the Hotel is rendered temporarily inoperable and Lessee does not exercise their right to terminate this Agreement,

 TERMINATION 
 Section 16.01.
Inspection Failure. 
 This Agreement may be terminated by Lessee as to one or more Hotels upon the failure within a sixty (60) day
period of a SPAR inspection or a Franchisor’s quality inspection of a Hotel for any reason other than capital related condition items (by way of example, mildewed caulking or scuffed walls would be considered non capital related whereas worn
carpet or sagging beds would be capital related), if the failures have not been remedied by Operator within sixty (60) days following the relevant inspection(s). Such termination shall be by delivery of written notice by Lessee to Operator not
less than thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of termination. 

  
 23 








 If Operator fails two consecutive Franchisor’s quality inspections (“Inspection”),
for reasons other than capital related issues, Lessee may terminate this Agreement and such termination shall be by delivery of written notice by Lessee to Operator not less than thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of termination.
Additionally, Lessee reserves the right, at its sole and absolute discretion, to request an extra Inspection on the Hotel after Operator has failed an Inspection, for reasons other than capital related items, and if Operator fails the extra
Inspection this will qualify as two consecutive fails of Inspections and Lessee may terminate this Agreement and such termination shall be by delivery of written notice by Lessee to Operator not less than thirty (30) days prior to the effective
date of termination. Lessee will be responsible for any additional fee required by Franchisor for said extra Inspection. 
 Section 16.02. Performance
Failure. 
 (a) If a Hotel fails to achieve as of the end of any Fiscal Quarter (i) actual NOI of at least 90% of the budgeted NOI for
such Hotel for such Fiscal Quarter, and (ii) 100% of such Hotel’s previous years running (12) month RevPAR index (as measured by STR) for such twelve (12) month period (collectively, an “Individual Hotel Performance
Failure”), subject to the cure periods below, Lessee may terminate this Agreement with respect to such Hotel upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to Operator. The effectiveness of any such notice of termination, however, shall be
stayed until completion of the following applicable cure periods. 
 If an Individual Hotel Performance Failure occurs with respect to a
Fiscal Quarter, but the Hotel achieves as of the end of the immediately following three (3) months actual NOI of at least 100% of the budgeted NOI for such Hotel for three (3) months, and 100% of such Hotel’s previous years running
(3) month RevPAR index (as measured by STR), then the Individual Hotel Performance Failure shall be deemed cured and Lessee shall have no right to terminate for such Individual Hotel Performance Failure (and any notice of termination with
respect thereto shall be deemed null and void). 
 (b) If the portfolio of Hotels fail to achieve as of the end of any Fiscal Quarter actual
NOI of at least 90% of the budgeted NOI for the Hotels for such Fiscal Quarter, and 95% of the Hotels’ previous years running (12) month RevPAR index (as measured by STR) for such Fiscal Quarter (collectively, a “Operator Performance
Failure”), subject to the cure period below, Lessee may terminate this Agreement with respect to all of the Hotels under this agreement upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to Operator. The effectiveness of any such notice of
termination, however, shall be stayed until completion of the following applicable cure periods. 
 If the Operators Performance Failure
occurs with respect to a Fiscal Quarter, but the portfolio of Hotels achieve as of the end of the immediately following three (3) months actual NOI of at least 100% of the budgeted NOI for the Hotels for such three (3) months, and 100% of
the Hotels’ previous years running (3) month RevPAR index, then the Hotels Performance Failure shall be deemed cured and Lessee shall have no right to terminate for the Hotels Performance Failure (and any notice of termination with respect
thereto shall be deemed null and void). 

  
 24 








 (c) If an individual Hotel, after the operator has managed the Hotel for a consecutive twelve
(12) month period, at any point, has a negative RevPAR change versus its competitive set, as measured by the monthly STR Report of greater than 10% for a running (12) month period (“Negative RevPAR Individual Hotel Performance
Failure”), subject to the cure periods below, Lessee may terminate this Agreement with respect to the individual Hotel upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to Operator. The effectiveness of such notice of termination however, shall be
stayed until completion of the following applicable cure period. 
 If an individual Hotel’s performance, as measured by the monthly
STR Report, for the following three (3) consecutive month period after notice of termination is provided, has a positive RevPAR change versus its competitive set, then the Negative RevPAR Individual Hotel Performance Failure shall be deemed
cured and Lessee shall have no right to terminate for such Negative RevPAR Individual Hotel Performance Failure (and any notice of termination with respect thereto shall be deemed null and void). If however, the individual Hotel’s performance
at any given period after termination has been cured, as measured by the monthly STR Report for the following twelve (12) month period, again becomes greater than negative 10% change against the individual Hotel’s competitive set as
measured by the running (12) month period, Lessee may terminate this Agreement with respect to the individual Hotel upon sixty (60) days prior written notice and Operator shall no longer have the option to cure. 

(d) If Operator, after twelve (12) consecutive months of managing its entire portfolio of Hotels for Lessee, has greater than 33% of its
portfolio failing to achieve a positive RevPAR change against its competitive set, as measured by STR Reports running (12) month period (“Operator RevPAR Performance Failure”), subject to the cure periods below, Lessee may terminate
this Agreement with respect to Operator’s entire portfolio of Hotels with Lessee upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to Operator. The effectiveness of such notice of termination however, shall be stayed until the completion of the
following applicable cure period. 
 If the Hotel portfolio managed by Operator has more than 75% of the Hotels achieve a positive RevPAR
change versus its competitive set as measured by the monthly STR Report performance, for the following three (3) consecutive month period after notice, then the Operator RevPAR Performance Failure shall be deemed cured and Lessee shall have no
right to terminate for such RevPAR Hotels Performance Failure (and any notice of termination with respect thereto shall be deemed null and void). 

Section 16.03. Sale of Hotels. 
 Owner may
sell or otherwise dispose of one or more Hotels to any other person, partnership, firm or corporation at any time. In such event during the Operating Term, Lessee may notify Operator in writing no less than thirty (30) days prior to any such
sale of a Hotel and this Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Hotel(s) upon the closing of the sale. This Agreement may be terminated by Operator with respect to the following events by delivery of written notice to Lessee ninety
(90) days prior to the effective date of termination provided such termination notice is delivered to Lessee within thirty (30) days following the occurrence of either of the following events: (i) twenty-five (25) percent of the
original portfolio of Hotels listed on Exhibit A is sold pursuant to this Section 16.03, exclusive of any Hotels for which

Lessee has offered a replacement hotel for management by Operator under this Agreement within twelve (12) months of such sale, or (ii) four (4) or more Hotels are sold pursuant to
this Section 16.03 during a twelve (12) month period, exclusive of any Hotels for which Lessee has offered a replacement hotel for management by Operator under this Agreement within twelve (12) months of such sale. 

Upon the sale of a hotel by the Owner/Lessee, Operator will be entitled to an Operator Fee equivalent to the monthly average of the preceding
twelve (12) months Operator Fee for a sixty (60) day period after the sale. 
 Section 16.04. Optional Termination. 

This Agreement may be terminated by Lessee as to one or more Hotels at any time without a reason upon no less than sixty (60) days prior
notice to Operator, and Lessee shall pay Operator a termination fee with respect to any such Hotel equal to 50% of the Operator’s Fee paid with respect to the Hotel during a number of months prior to the notice of termination equal to the
lesser of 12 months or the number of months otherwise remaining of the then Initial Term or Renewal Term. 
 Section 16.05. Lessee Change of Control.

 This Agreement may be terminated by Lessee or Operator upon a change of control of Lessee (as defined below) during the Operating Term.
Said termination will be exercised by delivery of written notice to the other party not less than sixty (60) days prior to the effective date of termination which notice shall set forth the effective date of termination. For purposes hereof, a
“change of control” shall be deemed to have occurred if, during the Operating Term, any of the following events occurs: 
  

	 	(i)	any “person”, as that term is used in Section 13(d) and Section 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), becomes, is discovered to be, or files a
report on Schedule 13D or 14D-1 (or any successor schedule, form or report) disclosing that such person is, a beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act or any successor rule or regulation), directly or indirectly, of
securities of Condor Hospitality Trust, Inc., the parent of Lessee (the “Parent”) representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Parent’s then outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the election of
directors; 

  

	 	(ii)	individuals who, as of the date of this Agreement, constitute the Board of Directors of the Parent or their duly elected successors cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors of the
Parent; 

  

	 	(iii)	 the Parent is merged, consolidated or reorganized into or with another corporation or other legal person, or
securities of the Parent are exchanged for securities of another corporation or other legal person, and immediately after such merger, consolidation, reorganization or exchange 



  
 26 









	 	
less than a majority of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities of such corporation or person immediately after such transaction are held, directly or indirectly, in the
aggregate by the holders of securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the Parent immediately prior to such transaction; or 

  

	 	(iv)	the Parent in any transaction or series of related transactions, sells all or substantially all of its assets to any other corporation or other legal person and less than a majority of the combined voting power of the
then-outstanding securities of such corporation or person immediately after such sale or sales are held, directly or indirectly, in the aggregate by the holders of securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the Parent
immediately prior to such sale. 

 In the event Lessee terminates this Agreement solely in accordance with this
Section 16.05, Lessee shall pay Operator a termination fee equal to 50% of the Operator’s Fee paid to Operator during a number of months prior to the notice of termination equal to the lesser of 12 months or the number of months otherwise
remaining of the then Initial Term or Renewal Term.

will be exercised by delivery of written notice to the Operator, such notice to be provided within sixty (60) days following the Lessee being made aware of the event giving rise to the change of control and not less than thirty (30) days
prior to the effective date of termination which notice shall set forth the effective date of termination; provided that, in the event such written notice to Operator is not provided in accordance within the terms of this sentence, the Lessee shall
be deemed to have waived any rights to terminate this Agreement with respect to the particular change of control giving rise to the required notice. For purposes hereof, a “change of control of Operator” shall mean (i) a change of
fifty percent or more of the voting control of Operator or any of its owner entities or (ii) a substantial change in the current management of Operator. 

Section 16.07. Tax Law Change. 
 Lessee may
terminate this Agreement upon 60 days’ notice to Operator if Lessee ceases to be qualified as a real estate investment trust or if the United States tax laws change to allow a hotel REIT to self-manage its properties. In such event, Lessee
shall pay Operator a termination fee equal to 50% of the Operator’s Fee paid to Operator during a number of months prior to the notice of termination equal to the lesser of 12 months or the number of months otherwise remaining of the then
Initial Term or Renewal Term. 
 Section 16.08. Termination Fees. 

Except as provided in Sections 14.01, 14.02, 16.04, 16.05, and 16.07, Operator shall not be entitled to a termination fee or compensation in
the event this agreement is terminated for a Hotel or Hotels by Lessee.

 Section 21.07. Governing Law. 

This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland. 

Section 21.08. No Political Contributions. 

Any provision hereof to the contrary notwithstanding, no money or property of the Hotel shall be paid or used or offered, nor shall Lessee or
Operator directly or indirectly pay or use or offer, consent or agree to pay or use or offer any money or property of the Hotel, for or in aid of any political party, committee or organization, or for or in aid of, any corporation, joint stock or
other association organized or maintained for political purposes, or for, or in aid or, any candidate for political office or for nomination for such office, or in connection with any election including referendum for constitutional amendment, or
for any political purpose whatever, or for lobbying in connection with legislation or regulation thereunder, or for the reimbursement for indemnification of any person for money or property so used. 

Section 21.09. Eligible Independent Contractor. 

(a) At the effective time of this Agreement, Operator shall qualify as an “eligible independent contractor” as defined in
Section 856(d)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To that end: 
  

	 	(i)	during the Operating Term, Operator shall not permit wagering activities to be conducted at or in connection with the Hotels; 

  

	 	(ii)	during the Operating Term, Operator shall not own, directly or indirectly (within the meaning of Section 856(d)(5) of the Code), more than 35% of the shares of Condor Hospitality Trust, Inc.; 


 

	 	(iii)	during the Operating Term, no more than 35% of the total combined voting power of Operator’s outstanding stock (or 35% of the total shares of all classes of its outstanding stock) shall be owned, directly or
indirectly, by one or more persons owning 35% or more of the outstanding stock of Condor Hospitality Trust, Inc.; and 

  

	 	(iv)	At the effective time, Operator shall be actively engaged in the trade or business of operating “qualified lodging facilities” (defined below) for a person who is not a “related person” within the
meaning of Section 856(d)(9)(F) of the Code with respect to the Parent or Lessee (“Unrelated Persons”). In order to meet this requirement, Operator agrees that it (i) shall derive at least 10% of both its revenue and profit from
operating “qualified lodging facilities” for Unrelated Persons and (ii) shall comply with any regulations or other administrative guidance under Section 856(d)(9) of the Code with respect to the amount of hotel management
business with Unrelated Persons that is necessary to qualify as an “eligible independent contractor” with the meaning of such Code Section. 


  
 34 








 (b) A “qualified lodging facility” is defined in Section 856(d)(9)(D) of the Code
and means a “lodging facility” (defined below), unless wagering activities are conducted at or in connection with such facility by any person who is engaged in the business of accepting wagers and who is legally authorized to engage in
such business at or in connection with such facility. A “lodging facility” is a hotel, motel or other establishment more than one-half of the dwelling units in which are used on a transient basis, and includes customary amenities and
facilities operated as part of, or associated with, the lodging facility so long as such amenities and facilities are customary for other properties of a comparable size and class owned by other owners unrelated to Condor Hospitality Trust, Inc.

 (c) Operator shall not sublet any Hotel or enter into any similar arrangement on any basis such that the rental or other amounts to be
paid by the sublessee thereunder would be based, in whole or in part, on either (a) the net income or profits derived by the business activities of the sublessee, or (b) any other formula such that any portion of the rent would fail to
qualify as “rents from real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Internal Revenue Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto. 

Section 21.10. Time of the Essence. 
 Time
is of the essence of this Agreement. 
 Section 21.11. Offsets. 

Each party may offset amounts owed to another party hereunder against any amounts owed to such party, except to the extent any such offset is
prohibited by the terms of the Lessee (or its Affiliates) credit agreements. 
 Section 21.12. Attorney’s Fees. 

If any party brings an action against another party to enforce any provision of this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action shall be
entitled to recover its court costs, attorney’s fees and expenses in the judgment rendered through such action. 
 Section 21.13. Final
Accounting. 
 (a) In addition to the reports required by Section 9.02, within sixty (60) days following the effective date of
expiration or termination of this Agreement, Operator shall prepare and submit to Lessee a final accounting of Hotel operations through the effective date of such expiration or termination, which accounting shall be in the form of the financial
statements required hereunder. 
 (b) Upon the effective date of expiration or termination of this Agreement, Operator shall deliver
possession of the Hotel, and any cash, property and other assets pertaining thereto, together with any and all keys or other access devices, to Lessee. 

(c) Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, Operator shall reasonably cooperate with and assist Lessee as may be necessary for
the transfer of the operations and management of the Hotels to the successor operator and the transfer any and all Hotel licenses and permits to Lessee or Lessee’s designee.
