 (b) The Company shall take all actions necessary to ensure that the REIT Subsidiary does not pay dividends in 2007 or in 2008 in a manner that would result in the shareholders being treated as receiving such dividend
in 2007 pursuant to Section 857(b)(9) of the Code; rather, the Company shall cause the REIT Subsidiary to declare and pay dividends after January 31, 2008 pursuant to Section 858 of the Code with respect to the 2007 taxable year.

 18 








 
manner that will enable it to satisfy all the requirements for real estate investment trust status under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code, and to avoid,
to the extent possible, the imposition of any entity-level federal or state income or excise taxes (other than income taxes imposed on any “taxable REIT subsidiary” of any REIT and other than excise tax pursuant to Section 858 of the

cause the REIT Subsidiary not to engage in any “prohibited transactions” within the meaning of Section 857(b)(6)(B)(iii) of the Code. If the REIT Subsidiary’s available funds are insufficient to meet the foregoing distribution
requirement, the Company may cause the REIT Subsidiary to make a “consent dividend” within the meaning of Section 565 of the Code. In no event shall the Company be required to contribute funds to the REIT Subsidiary in order to permit
the REIT Subsidiary to satisfy the foregoing requirements. 
 (f) SHR shall have the sole responsibility and obligation to

to an account designated in writing in the Mandatory Capital Notice or otherwise by the Board of Directors. Upon a failure by any Member to make a Mandatory Contribution when due, the Company and/or the other Members shall have all available
remedies at law, in equity or otherwise set forth in this Agreement (including without limitation the exercise of Liquidity Rights and the issuance of any New Securities as contemplated below). In the event that the sum of (1) the Initial
Capital Contributions and all Mandatory Capital Contributions made by RECO to the Company plus (2) the Initial Capital Contributions and all Mandatory Capital Contributions (each as defined in the Other Holding LLC Agreement) made by
RECO to the Other Holding LLC exceeds $88,000,000 in the aggregate (the “RECO Capital Limit”), then RECO may, but shall not be obligated to, fund its Mandatory Contributions in excess of the RECO Capital Limit; provided that in the
event of any failure by RECO to fund its pro rata portion of Mandatory Contributions in excess of the RECO Capital Limit, SHR may, in addition to any rights or remedies set forth in Section 8.3 hereof and without any approval of RECO or
the RECO Director but subject to the participation rights set forth in the next sentence, cause the Board of Directors (excluding the RECO Director) to cause the Company to fund all capital requirements in excess of the RECO Capital Limit (including
SHR’s Mandatory Contribution called at the same time as RECO’s Mandatory Contribution in excess of the RECO Capital Limit) by issuing any form of debt or equity securities of the Company, the REIT Subsidiary or any of its direct or
indirect Subsidiaries that are treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes (the “New Securities”) to SHR, any of its Affiliates or to any third party. The New Securities shall have such rights, preferences,
priorities, interest, dividend rates and/or other terms and conditions as determined by SHR in its sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, not later than simultaneous with or promptly after issuance of any New Securities, SHR
shall offer to RECO (by written notice) the right to purchase its pro rata portion of such New Securities based on its Percentage Interest. Within 10 days after receipt of such notice from SHR, RECO may elect, by written notice to SHR, to purchase
all (but not less than all) of such New Securities offered by SHR in accordance with the preceding sentence. If RECO fails to timely deliver such election notice, it shall have no right to participate in the offering of any such New Securities. For
the avoidance of doubt, the determination as to whether to deliver a Mandatory Capital Notice (and the delivery thereof) and/or to issue New Securities as set forth herein (or to establish the terms thereof) shall not constitute a Major Decision.

 Section 6.2 Register of Interests. The Board of Directors shall maintain the Register setting
forth the name and address of each Member, the aggregate Capital Contributions and Percentage Interest of each Member, the type of Interests owned by the Members and such other information as deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors. The initial
form of Register is attached hereto as Exhibit C. The Board of Directors may update the Register from time to time as necessary to accurately reflect the information therein, including the payment of any additional Capital
Contributions. Any reference in the Agreement to the Register shall be deemed a reference to the Register as in effect from time to time. No action of any Member shall be required to amend or update the Register. 
 Section 6.3 Capital Account Maintenance. An individual Capital Account shall be maintained for each Member. 
 Section 6.4 No Obligation of Members to Restore Deficit. The Members shall have no liability to the Company, to any other Member, or to the
creditors of the Company on account of any deficit balance in such Member’s Capital Account. Subject to Section 3.3 hereof, any Member, with the approval of the Board of Directors, may make loans to the Company and any such loan
shall not be considered a Capital Contribution. 
 Section 6.5 No Interest on Capital Contributions. No interest shall be paid to
the Members with respect to their contributions to the capital of the Company. 
 Section 6.6 Company Funds and Property. All
funds received by the Company will be utilized for Company purposes. Title to all property contributed to the Company or acquired by the Company shall be held in the name of the Company. No Member shall have any ownership interest in such property
in its individual right, and each Member’s interest in the Company shall be personal property for all purposes. Until required for the Company’s business, all Company funds shall be deposited and maintained in such accounts in such
financial institutions as shall be selected by the Board of Directors from time to time. Company funds shall not be commingled with the funds of any other Person. 
 ARTICLE VII 
 DISTRIBUTIONS; ALLOCATIONS 
 Section 7.1 Distributions Generally. All Operating Distributions and Capital Event Distributions shall be distributed as set in this
Article VII. The Board of Directors shall in all cases, in its good faith discretion, determine whether and to what extent any Distributions shall be made to the Members, out of funds legally available therefor, but in each case subject to
the rights and preferences of each class of Interests set forth herein. Operating Distributions, if any, shall be made to the Members on a quarterly basis, and Capital Event Distributions, if any, shall be made to the Members promptly after actual
receipt of the proceeds of the corresponding Capital Event. The determination of whether amounts to be distributed are classified as Operating Cash Flow, Net Financing Proceeds or Net Sales Proceeds shall be made by the Board of Directors in its
good faith discretion. 
 Section 7.2 Operating Distributions. All distributions of Operating Cash Flow (such distributions being
referred to herein as “Operating Distributions”), as determined by the Board of Directors shall be made to the holders of Class A Interests, pro rata based upon their respective Percentage Interests. 
  

 22 








 Section 7.3 Capital Event Distributions. Subject to Section 7.4, all
distributions of Net Financing Proceeds and Net Sales Proceeds (such distributions being referred to herein as “Capital Event Distributions”, and each transaction giving rise to such distributions, including without limitation any
Liquidation/Sale Event, being referred to herein as a “Capital Event”), as determined by the Board of Directors, out of legally available funds, shall be made to the holders of Interests in the following order of priority:

 (i) First, 100% to the holders of Class A Interests, pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests,
until each such holder has been distributed under Section 7.2 and this Section 7.3(i) an aggregate amount equal to its Capital Contributions plus a 10% Internal Rate of Return thereon; 
 (ii) Second, (A) 20% to the holder of Class B Interests; and (B) 80% to the holders of Class A Interests, pro rata in accordance with
their respective Percentage Interests, until each such holder of Class A Interests has been distributed under Section 7.2, Section 7.3(i) and this Section 7.3(ii)(B) an aggregate amount equal to its Capital Contributions plus a
12.5% Internal Rate of Return thereon; 
 (iii) Third, 100% to the holder of Class B Interests until such holder has received,
in the aggregate under this Section 7.3(iii), an amount equal to the Class B Preference Amount; and 
 (iv) Fourth, (A)
20% to the holder of Class B Interests; and (B) 80% to the holders of Class A Interests, pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests. 
 The amount otherwise payable under Section 7.3(ii)(A) as a result of any Capital Event shall be adjusted by deducting therefrom the aggregate amount previously paid as Operating Incentive Fees (as defined in the Asset Management
Agreement) with respect to the Hotel. The calculation and priority of Capital Event Distributions is illustrated in further detail in the sample calculations attached hereto as Exhibit D. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if a Disposition has occurred hereunder prior to any Other Disposition, and Capital Event Distributions are payable to
the holder of Class B Interests pursuant to this Section 7.3 as a result of such Disposition, then such Capital Event Distribution shall not be distributed to the Class B Member unless and until the Class B Member provides an affiliate
guaranty, a letter of credit or similar assurance in a form reasonably acceptable to the Members in favor of RECO or the Other Holding LLC (with RECO as a third party beneficiary with unilateral enforcement rights) to secure payment of any potential
Class B Overpayment that may arise under the Other Holding LLC Agreement. 
 Section 7.4 Effect of Certain Other Dispositions.
Upon a Disposition hereunder, if an Other Disposition has occurred prior to, or is occurring simultaneous with, such Disposition, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the amounts distributable to the holders of Class A
Interests and Class B Interests hereunder from the Net Sales Proceeds related to such Disposition (the “Final Distributions”) shall be determined in accordance with the following: 
 (a) The Final Distributions shall be calculated and distributed by the Board of Directors on a combined basis with distributions under the
Other Holding LLC Agreement, such that the Final Distributions take into account all amounts paid or payable hereunder and under the Other Holding LLC Agreement (including without limitation proceeds from sales of Interests hereunder or thereunder)
as if all such amounts were paid or payable hereunder, with the Capital Contributions for each holder being equal to the sum of its Capital Contributions (as defined herein), plus its Capital Contributions (as defined in the Other Holding LLC
Agreement) and the Class B Preference Amount being equal to $46,034,000. 
  

 23 








 (b) If, after giving effect to the calculation described in subsection (a) above,
the holder of Class B Interests or the holder of Class B Interests of the Other Holding LLC have received distributions but the maximum amount payable to the Class A Interest holders under Section 7.3(ii)(B) has not been paid, there
shall be deemed to be a “Class B Overpayment.” In such event, the Class B Member shall pay to the Company (for distribution to the holders(s) of Class A Interests pro rata based on their Percentage Interests), or shall have
deducted from distributions otherwise payable to the Class B Member in respect of its Class A Interests, an amount up to the amount of the Class B Overpayment in order to provide for the combined distributions hereunder and under the Other
Holding LLC Agreement as contemplated herein. The application of this combined calculation and distribution shall be as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith and is illustrated in further detail in the sample calculations attached
hereto as Exhibit D. 
 Section 7.5 Allocation of Profits and Losses. Subject to the allocation rules set forth in
Section 7.6 and Section 7.7, Profits and Losses shall be allocated among the Members for each Company taxable year or period as follows : 
  

	 	(a)	Profits. 

 (i) First, to the
Members, to the extent of, in proportion to, and in the reverse order of cumulative Losses previously allocated to each such Member in past tax years or periods under Section 7.5(b)(iii) hereof (but only to the extent incurred after the
Effective Date) in excess of cumulative Profits previously allocated under this Section 7.5(a)(i); 
 (ii) Second, to
the Members, to the extent of, in proportion to, and in the reverse order of cumulative Losses previously allocated to each such Member in past tax years or periods under Section 7.5(b)(ii) hereof (but only to the extent incurred after the
Effective Date) in excess of cumulative Profits previously allocated under this Section 7.5(a)(ii); 
  

 24 








 (iii) Third, to the Members, to the extent of any amounts distributed to such Members
during the relevant tax year or period pursuant to Sections 7.2 and 7.3; and 
 (iv) Finally, any remaining Profits shall be
allocated to the Members, in proportion to the number of Class A Interests held by each Member. 
  

	 	(b)	Losses. 

 (i) First, to the Members,
to the extent of, in proportion to, and in the reverse order of cumulative Profits allocated to them pursuant to Section 7.5(a)(iii) above, in excess of cumulative Losses previously allocated under this to Section 7.5(b)(i), provided,
that no Member shall be allocated Loss pursuant to this Section 7.5(b)(i) to the extent such allocation would create a negative Adjusted Capital Account balance; 
 (ii) Second, to the Members, to the extent of, and in proportion to, their relative positive Adjusted Capital Account balances after
taking into account the allocation rules set forth in Section 7.6 and Section 7.7 and allocations pursuant Section 7.5(b)(i) above; and 
 (iii) Finally, the balance (if any) of Loss shall be allocated to the Members, in proportion to the number of Class A Interests held by
each Member. 
 Section 7.6 Special Allocations. The following special allocations shall be made in the following order and
priority: 
 (a) The provisions of this Agreement relating to the allocations of items of income, gain, loss and deduction are
intended to comply with Regulations Sections 1.704-1 and 1.704-2. In the event that subsequent events (including a loan by a Member to the Company) cause the allocations set forth in Section 7.5 not to be in accordance with the
Regulations, then notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company may make such modifications to this Agreement (including the addition of special allocation provisions specified by Regulations Section 1.704-2) that are
necessary to cause such allocations to have substantial economic effect within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2) or to be deemed to be in accordance with the Members’ interests in the Company under Regulations
Section 1.704-1. Without limiting the foregoing, this Section 7.6(a) is intended to cause the Company to have a “qualified income offset” in compliance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be
applied and interpreted in accordance with such Regulation; provided that an allocation pursuant to the qualified income offset shall be made only after all other allocations provided for in this Section 7.6 have been tentatively
made as if such qualified income offset were not in this Agreement. Consistent with this Section 7.6(a), “nonrecourse deductions,” as defined in Regulations Section 1.704-2(b), shall be allocated to the Members, pro rata,
in accordance with such Treasury Regulations. 
 (b) The allocations set forth in Section 7.6(a) (the
“Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 

  

 25 








 
1.704-2. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article VII (other than the Regulatory Allocations), all Regulatory Allocations shall be taken
into account in allocating other items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Members so that, to the greatest extent possible, the net amount of all allocations pursuant to this Article VII to each Member shall be equal to the net
amount that would have been allocated to each such Member in each Company taxable year or period if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred. Allocations pursuant to this Section 7.6(b) shall only be made with respect to Regulatory
Allocations to the extent the Company determines that such allocations are consistent with the overall economic sharing arrangement among the Members, as reflected in this Agreement. 
 Section 7.7 Other Allocation Rules. 
 (a) In the event Members are admitted to the Company pursuant to this Agreement on different dates, the Company items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit allocated to the Members for each Company taxable year
or period during which Members are so admitted shall be allocated among the Members for such Company taxable year using any convention permitted by Code Section 706 and selected by the Tax Matters Member. 
 (b) In the event a Member transfers its Interest during a Company taxable year, the allocation of Company items of income, gain, loss,
deduction and credit allocated to such Member and its Transferee for such Company taxable year shall be made between such Member and its Transferee in accordance with Code Section 706 using any convention permitted by Code Section 706 and
selected by the Tax Matters Member. 
 (c) In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted in accordance
with subsection (b) of the definition of “Gross Asset Value” above, the amount of such adjustment shall be taken into account as an item of income, gain, loss or deduction from the disposition of such asset and specially allocated
Member by Member so that, to the greatest extent possible, the Capital Account attributable to each Member as a percentage of the total of all Capital Accounts is equal to the same percentage as the number of Interests held by such Member represents
of the total number of Interests outstanding. 
 Section 7.8 Tax Allocations; Code 704(c) Allocations. Except as otherwise
provided in this Section 7.8, all items of Company income, gain, loss, deduction and credit for federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes shall be allocated among the Members in as nearly the same manner as they share
correlative Profits, Losses or Company items of income, gain, loss or deduction, as the case may be, for the Company taxable year. Allocations pursuant to this Section 7.8 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and
shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses or other items or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement. 
 (a) In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, but solely for income tax purposes, income, gain, loss and
deduction with respect to any 

  

 26 








 
asset contributed to the capital of the Company (including income, gain, loss and deduction determined with respect to the alternative minimum tax) shall be
allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset to the Company for federal income tax purposes (including such adjusted basis for alternative minimum tax purposes) and its initial Gross
Asset Value, including special allocations to a contributing Member that are required under Code Section 704(c) to be made upon distribution of such asset to any of the non-contributing Members; provided, however, that if any
Member contributed assets with an adjusted tax basis in excess of the initial Gross Asset Value for such assets, the Company shall take into account such variation only in determining the amount of items allocated to the contributing Member, and
except as provided in the Regulations, in determining the amount of items allocated to the non-contributing Member, the tax basis of the contributed assets in the hands of the Company shall be treated as being equal to its initial Gross Asset Value.
Further, in the event the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to paragraph (b) of the definition of “Gross Asset Value” contained herein, such that “reverse section 704(c) allocations” are required
under Regulations Section 1.704-3(a)(6), then, solely for federal income tax purposes, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset (including income, gain, loss and deduction determined with respect to
the alternative minimum tax) shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset (including such adjusted basis for alternative minimum tax purposes) and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code
Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder. 
 (b) Any elections or other decisions relating to allocations under this
Section 7.8, including the selection of any allocation method permitted under Regulations Section 1.704-3, shall be made as approved by the Tax Matters Member. 
 (c) If any taxable item of income or gain is computed differently from the taxable item of income or gain which results for purposes of
the alternative minimum tax, then, to the extent possible, without changing the overall allocations of items for purposes of either the Members’ Capital Accounts or the regular income tax, (i) each Member shall be allocated items of
taxable income or gain for alternative minimum tax purposes taking into account the prior allocations of originating tax preferences or alternative minimum tax adjustments to such Member (and its predecessors) and (ii) other Company items of
income or gain for alternative minimum tax purposes of the same character that would have been recognized, but for the originating tax preferences or alternative minimum tax adjustments, shall be allocated away from those Members that are allocated
amounts pursuant to clause (i) so that, to the extent possible, the other Members are allocated the same amount, and type, of alternative minimum tax income and gain that would have been allocated to them had the originating tax preferences or
alternative minimum tax adjustments not occurred. 
 Section 7.9 Tax Matters Member; Tax Elections. SHR shall be the “tax
matters partner” of the Company as defined in Code Section 6231(a)(7) (the “Tax Matters Member”) and has and shall have all the powers and obligations of a tax matters partner pursuant to the Code. All elections, filings and
determinations required or permitted to be made by the Company under the tax laws of the United States, the several States or any other relevant jurisdiction shall be 

  

 27 








 
timely determined and made by the Tax Matters Member. The Tax Matters Member shall provide each Member with prompt notice with respect to any administrative
or judicial actions taken with respect to any tax matters and with respect to any material decisions or actions taken by the Tax Matters Member pursuant to this Section 7.9. 
 Section 7.10 Tax Withholding. Subject to Section 3.12(d), the Company may take any and all actions that it determines to be
necessary or appropriate to insure that the Company satisfies any and all withholding and tax payment obligations under Section 1441, 1445, 1446 or any other provision of the Code, applicable state law or other applicable law. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, subject to Section 3.12(d), the Company may withhold any amount of taxes that it determines is required to be withheld from amounts otherwise distributable to any Member pursuant to this Article VII;
provided, however, that such amount shall be deemed to have been distributed to such Member for purposes of applying this Agreement. In the event that the Company withholds or pays tax in respect of any Member for any period in excess of the amount
of cash otherwise distributable to such Member for such period (or there is a determination by any taxing authority that the Company should have withheld or paid any tax for any period in excess of the tax, if any, that the Company actually withheld
or paid for such period), then at the sole election of the Board of Directors, either (i) the Member shall make a cash payment to the Company equal to the full amount of such excess (and the amount paid shall be added to the Member’s
Capital Account but shall not be deemed to be a Capital Contribution hereunder) or (ii) the Company shall reduce subsequent distributions that would otherwise be made to such Member until the Company has recovered the amount of such excess,
provided that the amount of such reduction shall be deemed to have been distributed for all purposes of this Agreement, but such deemed distribution shall not further reduce the Member’s Capital Account. 
 Section 7.11 Tax Elections. The Company may, in the reasonable discretion of the Board of Directors, elect pursuant to Section 754 of
the Code, and similar provisions of applicable state income tax laws, to adjust the basis of the Company property as allowed by Sections 734(b) and 743(b) of the Code (or such similar state law provisions). The election, if made, will be filed with
the Company information income tax return for the first taxable year to which the election applies. The Company may also, in the reasonable discretion of the Board of Directors, make elections pursuant to Sections 179 (concerning expensing of
certain assets), 709(b) (concerning amortization of organization fees), and any other provision of the Code. 
 ARTICLE VIII

 SALE AND TRANSFER OF INTERESTS; LIQUIDITY RIGHTS 
 Section 8.1 Restrictions on Transfer. 
 (a) General. Except as expressly
permitted in Section 8.1(b) or 8.1(c), no Member may Transfer all or any portion of its Interests without the unanimous written consent of the Board of Directors. Any attempted Transfer in contravention of the provisions of this Article
II shall be null and void ab initio, such that the purported transferor shall continue to be the holder of the subject Interests for all purposes and the purported transferee shall not be deemed the holder thereof as a result of such
purported 

  

 28 








 
Transfer, and the Company shall not give effect to such Transfer or otherwise recognize any rights of such purported transferee. For the avoidance of doubt,
an SHR Change of Control shall not constitute a Transfer for purposes of this Agreement, and shall not require any consent or approval from RECO or the Board of Directors. 
 (b) Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding the general restriction on Transfer set forth in Section 8.1(a), a Member may
transfer any or all of its Interests to a Wholly-Owned Affiliate; provided that (i) no Transfer shall be made by any Member to any Wholly-Owned Affiliate that would constitute a Prohibited Assignment (as defined in the Hotel Management
Agreement); (ii) such Wholly-Owned Affiliate must agree in an instrument reasonably satisfactory to the other Member to be bound by this Agreement; and (iii) such Transfer is made in compliance with all applicable securities laws.

 (c) Pledges. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, SHR or RECO may pledge (such
Member granting the pledge, the “Pledging Member” and the other Member, the “Non-Pledging Member”) its respective direct or indirect equity interests in the Company to a lender or financing source. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
no such pledge shall be permitted (i) to the extent that such pledge (or the exercise by such lender or financing source of its rights under the pledge) would constitute a Prohibited Assignment under the Hotel Management Agreement or
(ii) unless the Lender (as hereinafter defined) agrees to provide to the Non-Pledging Member at the same time a copy of any default or foreclosure notice delivered by such Lender to the Pledging Member. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, if any Member has pledged its Interests in the Company to a lender or financing source (a “Lender”) and such Lender has delivered a notice of foreclosure with respect to such Interests (the
“Foreclosure Notice”), the Non-Pledging Member shall be entitled to Transfer its Interests without the consent of the Pledging Member, unless the foreclosure action initiated by the Lender has been withdrawn prior to the execution
by the Non-Pledging Member of a letter of intent or agreement providing for a Transfer of its Interest to a qualified purchaser with access to sufficient capital to consummate the proposed purchase. 
 Section 8.2 Change of Control Put Right. If an SHR Change of Control occurs within the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on
the date that is 18 months after the Effective Date, SHR shall provide notice of such SHR Change of Control within thirty (30) days after the occurrence thereof, and RECO shall have the right (the “Change of Control Put
Right”), exercisable by written notice to the Company and SHR (a “Change of Control Put Notice”) given not later than (30) days after delivery of notice that such SHR Change of Control has occurred, to require the
Company or SHR to acquire all (but not less than all) of its Interests. For purposes of exercising the Change of Control Put Right, an SHR Change of Control shall be deemed to have occurred upon the execution by the parties thereto of any definitive
purchase agreement, merger agreement or similar definitive agreement which upon consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby will result in an SHR Change of Control. If RECO gives a Change of Control Put Notice, RECO shall be obligated to
sell, and the Company and/or SHR shall be obligated to acquire all of the Interests held by RECO, together with any equity interests held by RECO in the Other Holding LLC, for an aggregate cash price equal to the Change in Control Put Price. The
closing of the purchase and sale of Interests pursuant to this Section 8.2 shall occur 

  

 29 








 
within 120 days following the date the RECO Change of Control Put Notice was delivered. Delivery of a Change of Control Put Notice by RECO under the Other
Holding LLC Agreement shall automatically constitute delivery of a Change of Control Put Notice under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the exercise by a Member of any other rights described in this Article VIII shall be independent of the
Other Holding LLC and shall not trigger any corresponding rights thereunder and the rights hereunder shall not be triggered by the exercise of rights under the Other Holding LLC. To the extent that any action or transaction listed as a Major
Decision in Section 3.3 is necessary or appropriate to satisfy the Change of Control Put Right, including any debt or equity financing in connection therewith, then such action or transaction shall not be deemed a Major Decision and
shall not be subject to unanimous approval of the Board of Directors; provided that the terms and conditions thereof that will have an economic effect on RECO shall be reasonable. 
 Section 8.3 Liquidity Rights. 
 (a) Each Member shall have the right (the “Liquidity Right”): (i) from and after the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date; (ii) upon the occurrence of a Deadlock; and (iii) upon the
occurrence of a Terminable Event with respect to such Member, exercisable by written notice (the “Liquidity Notice”) to the other Member (the “Notice Member”), to require the Company and/or the Notice Member to
purchase all (but not less than all) of its Interests. In the case of a Liquidity Right that is triggered as a result of the occurrence or existence of a Deadlock or a Terminable Event, then the Member giving the Liquidity Notice (the
“Electing Member”) must exercise such Liquidity Right within 180 days after the occurrence of such Deadlock or Terminable Event. The Liquidity Notice shall set forth the Electing Member’s minimum acceptable sale price for the
Hotel on an unencumbered basis (the “Floor Value”). Upon receipt of such Liquidity Notice, the Company shall conduct a market test to determine the actual fair market value of the Hotel (the “Actual Value”) in
accordance with Section 8.6 hereof. 
 (b) If the Actual Value, as determined in accordance with
Section 8.6, is less than the Floor Value, then the Electing Member may withdraw its request to exercise its Liquidity Right. After any such withdrawal, the Electing Member who made the withdrawal may not exercise any Liquidity
Rights under this Section 8.3 until one full calendar year has elapsed after the determination of the Actual Value unless a separate and distinct Deadlock or Terminable Event occurs during such one year period. If the Actual Value, as
determined in accordance with Section 8.6, is equal to or greater than the Floor Value (or is less than the Floor Value but the Electing Member has not withdrawn its request to exercise its Liquidity Right), then either:
(i) the Notice Member may elect in its sole discretion to acquire all of the Interests of the Electing Member at the Buyout Price (as defined below), and the Electing Member shall thereafter be bound to consummate such sale at the Buyout Price;
or (ii) the Notice Member may elect to proceed with a Sale of the Hotel or a Sale of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries in accordance with the sale procedures set forth in Section 8.4 (either such Sale transaction described in this
item (ii) being referred to as a “Forced Sale”). 
 (c) If the Notice Member elects to acquire the
Interests of the Electing Member as contemplated in subsection (b)(i) above, then the closing of such purchase 

  

 30 








 
and sale shall occur within 90 days following the date that the Buyout Price is established in accordance with Section 8.6. If the Notice Member
elects to consummate a Forced Sale as contemplated in subsection (b)(ii) above, then such Forced Sale shall be conducted in accordance with the sale procedures set forth in Section 8.4 below. 
 Section 8.4 Sale Procedures. 
 (a) If the Notice Member elects to proceed with a Forced Sale in accordance with Section 8.3 or the Members otherwise mutually agree to consummate a Sale of the Hotel or a Sale of the Company and/or its
Subsidiaries in accordance with Section 3.3 (as applicable, an “Approved Sale”), such transaction shall be conducted by SHR in accordance with customary procedures for the sale of a luxury hotel. SHR shall have the sole
right to approve the terms and conditions of any such Approved Sale and to control the sale process; provided that: (i) in the case of a Forced Sale, RECO shall have the right to approve any alterations to the sale consideration or other
material economic terms, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and (ii) in the case of any Approved Sale other than a Forced Sale, such transaction and certain terms thereof shall be subject to Board approval as a Major
Decision in accordance with Section 3.3(a) hereof. Further, in the event of any Approved Sale or Forced Sale, RECO shall, as reasonably required in connection with the consummation of such transaction, take all actions required of it in
order to consummate such transaction including without limitation, as applicable, (i) executing any documents or instruments reasonably requested by the proposed purchaser; (ii) providing the same or substantially similar representations,
warranties, covenants, releases and indemnities as SHR or its Affiliates are providing in such transaction; (iii) agreeing to any escrows, holdback amounts or deposits required by the purchaser on a pro rata basis, but otherwise on the same or
substantially similar terms as SHR or its Affiliates; (iv) at the closing of such transaction, conveying good title to its Interests, free and clear of all claims and encumbrances created by, through or under such holder or on its behalf (other
than any contemplated by this Agreement and any restrictions on transfer applicable under state and/or federal securities laws), against delivery to such holder of the consideration for the Interests of such holder being sold; and
(v) approving, at a Members’ meeting or by written consent, the transaction as a Member and waiving, if applicable, any dissenters and/or appraisal rights. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event of any Sale of the Hotel, Sale of the Company (in each case whether in
an Approved Sale or a Forced Sale), Change of Control Put Right or other Liquidity Right contemplated by this Agreement, as well as any dissolution or liquidation of the Company as contemplated in Article IX (each, a “Liquidation/Sale
Event”), such transaction or proceeding shall in all cases be structured as follows: (i) first, the Company shall be dissolved and liquidated and the common stock of the REIT Subsidiary shall be distributed to the Members (together
with the other assets of the Company, if any) in accordance with the rights and preferences set forth in Section 7.3, and (ii) second, the common stock of the REIT Subsidiary then owned by the selling Member shall be redeemed by the
REIT Subsidiary or transferred to the acquiring Member, an Affiliate thereof or a third party (in each case at the applicable price set forth in this Agreement) (collectively, the “Liquidation/Sale

Procedure”). Any and all additional administrative fees and expenses (including without limitation fees and expenses of accountants, attorneys
and other professionals) incurred by SHR and/or the Company to accommodate the Liquidation/Sale Procedure shall be borne solely by RECO. Upon the consummation of any Liquidation/Sale Event, the selling Member shall provide customary representations,
warranties and indemnities with respect to its transfer of Common Stock of the REIT Subsidiary. 
 Section 8.5 Sale Proceeds. In
any Approved Sale or Forced Sale, the aggregate consideration received by the Members shall be distributed among the Members as if such consideration were received by the Company, the debts and obligations of the Company paid in full (including
without limitation any prepayment penalties with respect to outstanding indebtedness and all asset management fees payable to the Asset Manager under the Asset Management Agreement), and the proceeds distributed pursuant to Section 7.3
hereof. 
 Section 8.6 Market Test Procedures and Determination of Buyout Price. 
 (a) The Actual Value of the Hotel shall be established as follows. SHR and RECO shall attempt to agree upon a broker or investment banking
firm (the “Broker”) to conduct the sale process. If SHR and RECO are unable to agree to the appointment of the Broker within a reasonable period of time, but not to exceed 30 days, then SHR shall promptly provide RECO with a list of
3 reputable, nationally recognized Brokers and RECO shall promptly select the Broker from such list. The Broker shall implement a bona fide, competitive auction or other sale process to secure indications of interest from qualified purchasers for
the purchase of the entire Hotel on a debt-free basis (the “Auction”). Such sale process shall be conducted within a specified period of time reasonably determined by the Broker, but not to exceed 6 months. Upon completion of the
Auction and the receipt of final indications of interests from qualified purchasers with access to sufficient capital to consummate the proposed purchase, the parties shall determine the average of the 3 highest final bids received in the Auction
(or if less than 3 bids were received, the average of all final bids received). Such average amount shall be the “Actual Value”; provided that any such final bids that are less than 90% of the highest final bid shall be excluded for
purposes of calculating such average. Each of SHR and RECO shall cooperate as necessary to ensure that the Broker and the bidders have access to such information and documentation as is reasonably necessary for conducting the Auction. 
 (b) The “Buyout Price” shall be determined by calculating the amount that would be distributed to the Electing Member if
the Hotel were sold for the Actual Value determined as set forth above, the other assets of the Company (if any) were sold at their book values, and the proceeds were applied, paid or distributed to the Members as provided in Section 7.3
hereof, after payment in full of all indebtedness and liabilities of the Company (including without limitation any break-up or other fees payable to any bidder or to the Broker in connection with the Auction, any prepayment penalties with respect to
outstanding indebtedness, a reasonable estimate of all transaction fees and transfer taxes that would have been payable if the Hotel were actually sold to a third party purchaser, and all asset management fees payable to the Asset Manager).

  

 32 








 (c) To the extent that any action or transaction listed as a Major Decision in
Section 3.3 is necessary or appropriate to satisfy the Liquidity Right of an Electing Member, including any debt or equity financing in connection therewith, then: (i) such action or transaction shall not be deemed a Major Decision
and shall not be subject to unanimous approval of the Board of Directors; and (ii) any reasonable costs or expenses incurred in connection with such transaction (including without limitation any financing fees, attorneys fees, accounting fees
and other professional fees and expenses) shall be borne by the Company or its Subsidiaries and taken into account in determining the Buyout Price. 
 ARTICLE IX 
 DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND TERMINATION 
 Section 9.1 Events of Dissolution. The Company shall be dissolved, and wound up pursuant to Section 9.2, upon the earlier to

of the Company and to liquidate and sell its assets (in such capacity, the “Liquidator”). The liquidation of the Company shall be conducted in accordance with the Liquidation/Sale Procedure. 
 Section 9.3 Judicial Winding Up. If the Company is dissolved for any reason and if within 90 days following the date of dissolution the
Liquidator has failed to commence such actions as provided in Section 9.2, any Member, Director or any of their respective Affiliates shall have the right to seek judicial supervision of the winding up of the Company as may be
contemplated in the Act. 
 Section 9.4 [Intentionally Omitted]. 
 Section 9.5 Distributions. Upon the winding up of the Company, its assets (other than cash) shall be sold (except that the common stock of
the REIT Subsidiary may be distributed in kind) and its assets or the proceeds thereof shall be distributed as follows: (i) first, to creditors of the Company, including Members who are creditors, in satisfaction of all liabilities of the
Company (whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof); and (ii) thereafter, among the Members in accordance with Section 7.3 hereof. 
  

 33 








 Section 9.6 Source of Distributions. Each holder of an Interest in the Company shall look
solely to the assets of the Company for the return of its or his Capital Contribution and its or his share of Profits and Losses and shall have no recourse upon dissolution or otherwise against the Company, the Members or the Liquidator. No holder
of an interest in the Company shall have any right to demand or receive property other than cash upon dissolution and termination of the Company. All of the Company’s properties shall be sold upon liquidation of the Company and no Company
property shall be distributed in kind to the Members either during the term of the Company or upon the dissolution and termination thereof unless in each case otherwise unanimously agreed by the Board of Directors. 
 Section 9.7 Termination. Upon the completion of the winding up of the Company and the distribution of all Company funds, the Liquidator shall
execute a certificate of cancellation of the Certificate and record all other documents required to effectuate the dissolution and termination of the Company and the cancellation of the Certificate. 
 ARTICLE X 
 ADDITIONAL COVENANTS AND
AGREEMENTS 
 Section 10.1 Financial and Other Information. The Company shall deliver to each Member the following:

 (a) as soon as practicable, but in any event within ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year, an audited
consolidated balance sheet as of the fiscal year end and audited statements of operations, cash flows, and shareholders’ equity for the fiscal year; 
 (b) as soon as practicable, but in any event within forty-five (45) days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters, an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of the end of such
fiscal quarter and unaudited consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and shareholders’ equity for such fiscal quarter and fiscal year to date; 
 (c) as soon as practicable after receipt from Hotel Manager, the monthly reporting package or other monthly financial statements provided
by the Hotel Manager; 
 (d) as soon as practicable after completion, an annual budget and business plan for the forthcoming
fiscal year together with any update of such plan as it is prepared; and 
 (e) such other information relating to the
financial condition, business, prospects or corporate affairs of the Company as such Shareholder may from time to time reasonably request. 
 Section 10.2 Tax Information. The Company shall cause to be delivered to each Person who was a Member at any time during a Fiscal Year (and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to do so within 180 days after the end of
such Fiscal Year) a Form K-1 and such other information, if any, with respect to the Company as may be necessary for the preparation of such Member’s federal, state and local income tax returns, including a statement showing such Member’s
share of income, gain or loss, expense and credits for such Fiscal Year for federal income tax purposes. 
  

 34 








 Section 10.3 REIT Opinion. Each of SHR and RECO shall have the right to require, not more
than one (1) time every other fiscal year, by providing written notice to the Company, that the Company cause the delivery of an opinion of counsel from a nationally recognized law firm selected by the Company addressed to RECO and SHR (and any
other applicable party) with respect to the qualification of the REIT Subsidiary as a real estate investment trust under the Code. 
 Section 10.4 Acquisition of Certain Indebtedness by SHR. SHR or one of its Affiliates (the “SHR Lender”) may, in its sole discretion and without any approval from RECO or the Board of Directors, acquire from a
third party lender any indebtedness secured by the Hotel or payable directly or indirectly out of the revenues of the Hotel (the “Hotel Debt”). If the SHR Lender acquires any Hotel Debt, it shall have all of the same rights and
remedies of the lender who initially funded such indebtedness (the “Assignor Lender”), including without limitation with respect to priority of payment, affirmative and negative covenants, events of default and any other terms and
conditions set forth in the applicable loan agreement, pledge agreement, deed of trust, mortgage or other agreement or instrument securing such loan or relating thereto (the “Third Party Loan Documents”). Notwithstanding the
preceding sentence, for so long as the SHR Lender owns such Hotel Debt and no Designated Event has occurred, the SHR Lender will refrain from initiating foreclosure proceedings with respect to the Hotel or any other collateral securing the Hotel
Debt, it being understood that the SHR Lender shall retain all other rights and remedies with respect to such Hotel Debt in accordance with the Third Party Loan Documents. Any of the following events or circumstances with respect to the Company or
any Subsidiary shall be considered a “Designated Event” for purposes of the SHR Lender’s ability to exercise its foreclosure rights: (1) making an assignment for the benefit of creditors or filing a petition under federal
bankruptcy law or any state insolvency law; (2) a sale or Transfer by either SHR or RECO of all or a material portion of its Interests; (3) if SHR no longer has a right to appoint a majority of the Board of Directors; or (4) if any
other Person (other than SHR or its Affiliates) who holds Hotel Debt initiates foreclosure proceedings with respect to the Hotel or any other collateral securing such Hotel Debt. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing restrictions on the SHR
Lender’s ability to initiate foreclosure proceedings shall only apply to an SHR Lender and not to any other Person to whom the SHR Lender assigns or transfers such Hotel Debt or who otherwise owns any Hotel Debt, and the restrictions,
limitations and other conditions set forth herein or required hereby on the rights and remedies of the holder of any Hotel Debt shall immediately be terminated and of no further force and effect upon such assignment or transfer. 
 Section 10.5 Confidentiality Agreement. 
 (a) Each Member, and any successor or assign of such Member, who receives from the Company or its agents, directly or indirectly, any information that the Company has not made generally available to the public,
pursuant to the preparation and execution of this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement or disclosure in connection therewith or otherwise pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement or as a Member: (i) acknowledges and
agrees that such information is confidential and for its use only in connection with its investment in the Company; and (ii) agrees that it will not disseminate such information to any person other than its accountant, investment advisor,
limited partners, attorney, advisor, Affiliates and any financing sources. 
  

 35

pursuant to this Section 10.5 shall not apply to any such information that (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a direct or indirect disclosure by a Member in violation of this Agreement,
(ii) is disclosed to the Member on a non confidential basis by a third party provided that such third party is not, to the knowledge of the Member, bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Company, (iii) is independently discovered,
derived or developed by the Shareholder without access to the confidential information, or (iv) is required to be disclosed by applicable law or regulation, regulatory body, stock exchange, court or administrative order, or any listing or
trading agreement with such regulatory body or stock exchange concerning such Member or the Company. 
 (c) SHR shall keep
confidential the identity of RECO as a Member of the Company and shall not disclose the investment of RECO in the Company without the prior consent of RECO except as is required to be disclosed by applicable law or regulation, regulatory body, stock
exchange, court or administrative order, or any listing or trading agreement with such regulatory body or stock exchange and only after prior notice to such Shareholder of the intent or requirement to disclose such information. 
 Section 10.6 Issuance of Certain Shares of the REIT Subsidiary. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the REIT
Subsidiary to issue Class A Preferred Stock (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation of the REIT Subsidiary) to at least 101 Persons by January 8, 2008. 
 ARTICLE XI 
 BOOKS AND RECORDS 
 Section 11.1 Books and Records. The books and records of the Company shall, at the cost and expense of the Company, be kept or caused to be
kept by the Company at the principal place of business of the Company or as otherwise determined by the Board of Directors. The books of account shall be kept in a manner that allows for the preparation of the Company’s financial statements in
accordance with GAAP. Each Member and its duly authorized representatives, upon five days notice, shall be permitted for any purpose reasonably related to such Member’s interest as a member of the Company to inspect the books and records of the
Company at any reasonable time during normal business hours. However, the Board of Directors shall have the right in its discretion to keep confidential from the Members, for such period of time as the Board of Directors deems appropriate, any
information which the Board of Directors reasonably believes to be in the nature of trade secrets or other information the disclosure of which the Board of Directors in good faith believes is not in the best interest of the Company or the business
or that the Company (or any Subsidiary) is required by law or agreement with a third party to keep confidential.
