 ARTICLE 3 
  
 BASE RENT; PERCENTAGE RENT;
ADDITIONAL CHARGES 
  
 3.1 Rent.
Lessee will pay to Lessor, in lawful money of the United States of America which shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, in immediately available funds, at Lessor’s address set forth in Article XXVI hereof or
at such other place or to such other Person, as Lessor from time to time may designate in a Notice, rent (“Rent”), which shall be equal to the greater of the following: 
  
 (a) Base Rent: the annual amount of Base Rent set forth on Exhibit B (the “Base
Rent”), which shall be payable one-twelfth (1/12th) monthly in arrears on or before the first Business Day of the subsequent calendar month beginning on the date as set forth on Exhibit B; provided, however, that Base Rent shall be
prorated as to any partial Lease Year; plus 
  
 (b) Percentage Rent: an amount of percentage rent (“Percentage Rent”), calculated for each calendar quarter, equal to the Period Revenues Computation through the end of such calendar quarter for the applicable Lease
Year, which amount shall be payable on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of the following calendar quarter, beginning on the date as set forth on Exhibit B. 
  
 The term “Period Revenues Computation” as used herein shall equal the sum of, for the applicable Lease Year: (i) an amount equal
to 0.35 times the First Tier Room Revenue Recognition and (ii) an amount equal 0.70 times the Second Tier Room Revenue Recognition. 
  
 If the Term begins or ends in the middle of a calendar year, then the number of calendar quarters falling within the Term during such calendar year shall constitute a
separate Lease Year. In that event, the First Annual Room Revenues Break Point and the Second Annual Room Revenues Break Point shall be multiplied by a fraction equal to (x) the number of calendar quarters (including partial calendar quarters) in
the Lease Year divided by (y) four. 
  
 (c)
Officer’s Certificates. Additionally, an Officer’s Certificate in a form reasonably acceptable to Lessor shall be delivered to Lessor quarterly of each Lease Year during the Term with each Percentage Rent payment, setting forth
the calculation of such rent payment for such quarter. Such quarterly payments shall be as set forth in Section 3.1(b). 
  

 16 

 In addition, on or before January 25 of each year, commencing with January 25 first following the end of the Fiscal Year
in which the Commencement Date occurs, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor an Officer’s Certificate reasonably acceptable to Lessor setting forth the computation of Percentage Rent accrued and paid during the Fiscal Year that ended on the
immediately preceding December 31. If the annual Percentage Rent due and payable for any Fiscal Year (as shown in the applicable Officer’s Certificate) exceeds the amount actually paid as Percentage Rent by Lessee for such year, Lessee shall
pay such excess to Lessor at the time such certificate is delivered. If the Percentage Rent actually due and payable for such Fiscal Year is shown by such certificate to be less than the amount actually paid as Percentage Rent for the applicable
Fiscal Year, Lessor, at its option, shall reimburse such amount to Lessee or credit such amount against the following months’ Rent payments. 
  
 Any difference between the annual Percentage Rent due and payable for any Fiscal Year (as shown in the applicable Officer’s Certificate or as adjusted pursuant to
this Section 3.1(c)) and the total amount of quarterly payments for such Fiscal Year actually paid by Lessee as Percentage Rent, whether in favor of Lessor or Lessee, shall bear interest at the Overdue Rate, which interest shall accrue from the
close of such Fiscal Year until the amount of such difference shall be paid or otherwise discharged. Any such interest payable to Lessor shall be deemed to be and shall be payable as Additional Charges. 
  
 The obligation to pay Percentage Rent shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of
the Term, and a final reconciliation, taking into account, among other relevant adjustments, any adjustments which are accrued after such expiration or termination date but which related to Percentage Rent accrued prior to such termination date, and
Lessee’s good faith best estimate of the amount of any unresolved contractual allowances, shall be made not later than two years after such expiration or termination date, but Lessee shall advise Lessor within sixty (60) days after such
expiration or termination date of Lessee’s best estimate at that time of the approximate amount of such adjustments, which estimate shall not be binding on Lessee or have any legal effect whatsoever. 
  
 (d) CPI Adjustments to Rent. For each Fiscal
Year of the Term beginning on or after the CPI Adjustment Year, the Base Rent then in effect, the First Annual Room Revenues Break Point and the Second Annual Room Revenues Break Point shall be adjusted from time to time beginning in the CPI
Adjustment Year as follows: 
  
 (i) The
average Consumer Price Index for the most recently ended Fiscal Year shall be divided by the average Consumer Price Index for the immediately preceding Fiscal Year. 
  
 (1) The new Base Rent for the then current Fiscal Year shall be the adjusted amount obtained by
multiplying the Base Rent for the immediately preceding Fiscal Year by the quotient obtained in subparagraph (d)(1) above. 
  
 (2) The new threshold dollar amount in the Period Revenues Computations described in Section 3.1(b) above for the then current
Fiscal Year shall be the product of the threshold dollar amount of Room Revenues in effect in the most recently ended Fiscal Year and the quotient obtained in subparagraph (d)(1)above. 
  

 17 

 By way of example, if the CPI Adjustment Year were 2004, the amount of Base Rent and the threshold Room Revenues amounts
in the Period Revenues Computations for the Fiscal Year commencing January 1, 2005 would be adjusted to reflect any change in the average Consumer Price Index from the Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to the Fiscal Year ended December
31, 2004. Base Rent and the threshold Room Revenues amounts in the Period Revenues Computations for the Fiscal Year commencing January 1, 2005 would be the Base Rent and threshold Room Revenues amounts applicable for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2004 as further adjusted to reflect any change in the average Consumer Price Index from December 31, 2004 as compared to December 31, 2003. 
  
 Lessor shall calculate the annual adjustments as soon as reasonably possible after the Consumer Price Index becomes available and shall notify Lessee in writing of the
amount of the annual adjustment, together with a copy of the computation showing the adjustment amount. Adjustments calculated as set forth above in the Base Rent and threshold Room Revenues amounts shall be effective on January 1 of the Fiscal Year
to which such adjusted amounts apply. If Rent is paid in any Fiscal Year prior to the determination of the amount of any adjustment to Base Rent or the threshold Room Revenues applicable for such Fiscal Year, payment adjustments for any shortfall in
or overpayment of rent paid shall be made with the first Base Rent payment due after the amount of the adjustments are determined. 
  
 The “Average Consumer Price Index” for any period shall be the average of the Consumer Price Index for each month during the period. 
  
 (ii) If (i) a significant change is made in the
number or nature (or both) of items used in determining the Consumer Price Index, or (ii) the Consumer Price Index shall be discontinued for any reason, the Bureau of Labor Statistics shall be requested to furnish a new index comparable to the
Consumer Price Index, together with information which will make possible a conversion to the new index in computing the adjustments to Rent hereunder. If for any reason the Bureau of Labor Statistics does not furnish such an index and such
information, the parties will instead mutually select, accept and use such other index or comparable statistics on the cost of living that is computed and published by an agency of the United States or a responsible financial periodical of
recognized authority. 
  
 3.2 Confirmation of
Percentage Rent. Lessee shall utilize, or cause to be utilized, an accounting system for the Leased Property in accordance with its usual and customary practices, and in accordance with GAAP and the Uniform System, that will
accurately record all data necessary to compute Percentage Rent, and Lessee shall retain, for at least four (4) years after the expiration of each Fiscal Year (and in any event until the reconciliation described in Section 3.1(c) for such Fiscal
Year has been made), reasonably adequate records conforming to such accounting system showing all data necessary to compute Percentage Rent for the applicable Fiscal Years. Lessor, at its expense (except as provided herein below), shall have the
right from time to time to have its accountants or representatives audit the information that formed the basis for the data set forth in any Officer’s Certificate provided under Section 3.1(c) and, in connection with such audits, to examine all
Lessee’s records (including supporting data, franchisor reports and sales and excise tax returns) reasonably required to verify Percentage Rent, subject to any prohibitions or limitations on disclosure of any such data under Legal 

  

 18 

 
Requirements. If any such audit discloses a deficiency in the payment of Percentage Rent, and either Lessee agrees with the result of such audit or the
matter is otherwise determined or compromised, Lessee shall forthwith pay to Lessor the amount of the deficiency, as finally agreed or determined, together with interest at the Overdue Rate from the date when said payment should have been made to
the date of payment thereof; provided, however, that as to any audit that is commenced more than two years after the date Percentage Rent for any Fiscal Year is reported by Lessee to Lessor, the deficiency, if any, with respect to such Percentage
Rent shall bear interest at the Overdue Rate only from the date such determination of deficiency is made unless such deficiency is the result of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Lessee, in which case interest at the Overdue Rate
will accrue from the date such payment should have been made to the date of payment thereof. If any such audit discloses that the Percentage Rent actually due from Lessee for any Fiscal Year exceed those reported and paid by Lessee by more than 3%,
Lessee shall pay the cost of such audit and examination. Any proprietary information obtained by Lessor pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall be treated as confidential, except that such information may be used, subject to appropriate
confidentiality safeguards, in any litigation between the parties and except further that Lessor may disclose such information to prospective lenders. The obligations of Lessee contained in this Section shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease. 
  
 3.3 Additional
Charges. In addition to the Base Rent and Percentage Rent, (a) Lessee also will pay and discharge as and when due and payable all other amounts, liabilities, obligations and Impositions that Lessee assumes or agrees to pay under this
Lease, and (b) in the event of any failure on the part of Lessee to pay any of those items referred to in clause (a) of this Section 3.3, Lessee also will promptly pay and discharge every fine, penalty, interest and cost that may be added for
non-payment or late payment of such items (the items referred to in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 3.3 being additional rent hereunder and being referred to herein collectively as the “Additional Charges”), and Lessor shall have all
legal, equitable and contractual rights, powers and remedies provided either in this Lease or by statute or otherwise in the case of non-payment of the Additional Charges as in the case of non-payment of the Base Rent, including, but not limited to,
the right, but not the obligation to pay such Additional Charges on behalf of the Lessee and to require reimbursement thereof by Lessee, together with interest thereon at the Overdue Rate. If any installment of Base Rent, Percentage Rent or
Additional Charges (but only as to those Additional Charges that are payable directly to Lessor) shall not be paid on its due date, Lessee will pay Lessor on demand, as Additional Charges, a late charge (to the extent permitted by law) computed at
the Overdue Rate on the amount of such installment, from the due date of such installment to the date of payment thereof. To the extent that Lessee pays any Additional Charges to Lessor pursuant to any requirement of this Lease, Lessee shall be
relieved of its obligation to pay such Additional Charges to the entity to which they would otherwise be due and Lessor shall pay same from monies received from Lessee. 
  
 3.4 Net Lease Provision. The Rent shall be paid absolutely net to Lessor, so that this Lease
shall yield to Lessor the full amount of the installments of Base Rent, Percentage Rent and Additional Charges throughout the Term, all as more fully set forth in Article V, but subject to any other provisions of this Lease that expressly provide
for adjustment or abatement of Rent or other charges or expressly provide that certain expenses or maintenance shall be paid or performed by Lessor. 
  

 19 

 3.5 Conversion of Property. If, during the Term, Lessee wishes to cease food
and beverage operations or institute food and beverage operations at the Facility (all in accordance with the requirements of any applicable Franchise Agreement), Lessee shall give Notice of such desire to Lessor. If, during the Term, Lessor wishes
(a) Lessee to cease food and beverage operations or to institute food and beverage operations at the Facility (all in accordance with the requirements of any applicable Franchise Agreement), or (b) to change the franchise affiliation of the Facility
or to make substantial renovations to the Facility, Lessor shall give Notice thereof to Lessee. Following any such notice, Lessor and Lessee shall commence negotiations to adjust Rent to reflect the proposed renovation or change to the operation of
the Facility, each acting reasonably and in good faith, and subject to Lessor’s reasonable satisfaction that any Rent adjustment will not adversely affect MHI’s status as a real estate investment trust under the Code. All other terms of
this Lease will remain substantially the same. During negotiations, which shall not extend beyond sixty (60) days, Lessee shall not “convert” the Facility and Lessor shall not change the franchise or commence substantial renovations and
Lessee shall continue fulfilling its obligations under the existing terms of this Lease. If no agreement is reached after such 60-day period, Lessee or Lessor, as appropriate, shall withdraw such notice and this Lease shall continue in full force.

  
 ARTICLE 4 
  
 IMPOSITIONS 
  
 4.1 Payment of Impositions. Subject to Article
XII relating to permitted contests, Lessee will pay, or cause to be paid, all Impositions (other than Real Estate Taxes, which shall be paid by Lessor) before any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added for non-payment, such payments to be made
directly to the taxing or other authorities where feasible, and will promptly furnish to Lessor copies of official receipts or other satisfactory proof evidencing such payments. Lessee’s obligation to pay such Impositions shall be deemed
absolutely fixed upon the date such Impositions become a lien upon the Leased Property or any part thereof. If any such Imposition may, at the option of the taxpayer, lawfully be paid in installments (whether or not interest shall accrue on the
unpaid balance of such Imposition), Lessee may exercise the option to pay the same (and any accrued interest on the unpaid balance of such Imposition) in installments and in such event, shall pay such installments during the Term hereof (subject to
Lessee’s right of contest pursuant to the provisions of Article XII) as the same respectively become due and before any fine, penalty, premium, further interest or cost may be added thereto. Lessor, at its expense, shall, to the extent required
or permitted by applicable law, prepare and file all tax returns in respect of Lessor’s net income, gross receipts, sales and use, single business, transaction privilege, rent, ad valorem, franchise taxes, Real Estate Taxes and taxes on its
capital stock, and Lessee, at its expense, shall, to the extent required or permitted by applicable laws and regulations, prepare and file all other tax returns and reports in respect of any Imposition as may be required by governmental authorities.
If any refund shall be due from any taxing authority in respect of any Imposition paid by Lessee, the same shall be paid over to or retained by Lessee if no Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder and be continuing. If an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, any such refund shall be paid over to or retained by Lessor. Any such funds retained by Lessor due to an Event of Default shall be applied as 

  

 20 

 
provided in Article XVI. Lessor and Lessee shall, upon request of the other, provide such data as is maintained by the party to whom the request is made with
respect to the Leased Property as may be necessary to prepare any required returns and reports. Lessee shall file all personal property tax returns in such jurisdictions where it is legally required to so file. Lessor, to the extent it possesses the
same, and Lessee, to the extent it possesses the same, will provide the other party, upon request, with cost and depreciation records necessary for filing returns for any property so classified as personal property. Where Lessor is legally required
to file personal property tax returns, Lessor shall provide Lessee with copies of assessment notices in sufficient time for Lessee to file a protest. Lessee may, upon notice to Lessor, at Lessee’s option and at Lessee’s sole expense,
protest, appeal, or institute such other proceedings (in its or Lessor’s name) as Lessee may deem appropriate to effect a reduction of real estate or personal property assessments for those Impositions to be paid by Lessee, and Lessor, at
Lessee’s expense as aforesaid, shall fully cooperate with Lessee in such protest, appeal, or other action. Lessee hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Lessor from and against any claims, obligations, and liabilities against or
incurred by Lessor in connection with such cooperation. Billings for reimbursement of personal property taxes by Lessee to Lessor shall be accompanied by copies of a bill therefor and payments thereof which identify the personal property with
respect to which such payments are made. Lessor, however, reserves the right to effect any such protest, appeal or other action and, upon notice to Lessee, shall control any such activity, which shall then go forward at Lessor’s sole expense.
Upon such notice, Lessee, at Lessor’s expense, shall cooperate fully with such activities. 
  
 4.2 Notice of Impositions. To the extent Lessor is notified of any Impositions, Lessor shall give prompt Notice to Lessee of
such Impositions payable by Lessee hereunder, provided that Lessor’s failure to give any such Notice shall in no way diminish Lessee’s obligations hereunder to pay such Impositions, but such failure shall obviate any default hereunder for
a reasonable time after Lessee receives Notice of any Imposition which it is obligated to pay during the first taxing period applicable thereto. 
  
 4.3 Adjustment of Impositions. Impositions imposed in respect of the tax-fiscal period during which the Term terminates shall be
adjusted and prorated between Lessor and Lessee, whether or not such Imposition is imposed before or after such termination, and Lessee’s obligation to pay its prorated share thereof after termination shall survive such termination. 

 
 4.4 Utility Charges. Lessee will be solely
responsible for obtaining and maintaining utility services to the Leased Property and will pay or cause to be paid all charges for electricity, gas, oil, water, sewer and other utilities used in the Leased Property during the Term.

 NO TERMINATION; ABATEMENT

by law, shall remain bound by this Lease in accordance with its terms and shall neither take any action without the written consent of Lessor

to modify, surrender or terminate the same, nor seek nor be entitled to any abatement, deduction, deferment or reduction of the Rent, or setoff against the
Rent, nor shall the obligations of Lessee be otherwise affected by reason of (a) any damage to, or destruction of, any Leased Property or any portion thereof from whatever cause or any Taking of the Leased Property or any portion thereof, (b) the
lawful or unlawful prohibition of, or restriction upon, Lessee’s use of the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, or the interference with such use by any Person, corporation, partnership or other entity, or by reason of eviction by
paramount title, (c) any claim which Lessee has or might have against Lessor by reason of any default or breach of any warranty by Lessor under this Lease or any other agreement between Lessor and Lessee, or to which Lessor and Lessee are parties,
(d) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, winding up or other proceedings affecting Lessor or any assignee or transferee of Lessor, or (e) for any other cause whether similar or dissimilar
to any of the foregoing other than a discharge of Lessee from any such obligations as a matter of law. Lessee hereby specifically waives all rights, arising from any occurrence whatsoever, which may now or hereafter be conferred upon it by law to
(1) modify, surrender or terminate this Lease or quit or surrender the Leased Property or any portion thereof, or (2) entitle Lessee to any abatement, reduction, suspension or deferment of the Rent or other sums payable by Lessee hereunder, except
as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease. The obligations of Lessee hereunder shall be separate and independent covenants and agreements and the Rent and all other sums payable by Lessee hereunder shall continue to be payable in all events
unless the obligations to pay the same shall be terminated pursuant to the express provisions of this Lease or by termination of this Lease other than by reason of an Event of Default. 
  
 5.2 Abatement Procedures. In the event of a partial Taking as described in Section 15.5, the Lease
shall not terminate, but the Base Rent shall be abated in the manner and to the extent that is fair, just and equitable to both Lessee and Lessor, taking into consideration, among other relevant factors, the number of usable rooms, the amount of
square footage, or the revenues affected by such partial Taking. If Lessor and Lessee are unable to agree upon the amount of such abatement within thirty (30) days after such partial Taking, the matter may be submitted by either party to a court of
competent jurisdiction for resolution. 
  
 ARTICLE 6

  
 PERSONAL PROPERTY; LANDLORD’S LIEN 

 
 6.1 Ownership of the Leased Property. Lessee
acknowledges that the Leased Property is the property of Lessor and that Lessee has only the right to the possession and use of the Leased Property upon the terms and conditions of this Lease. 
  
 6.2 Lessee’s Personal Property. At all times
during the Term, Lessee will maintain Inventory as is required to operate the Leased Property in the manner contemplated by this Lease. Lessee may (and shall as provided herein below), at its expense, install, affix or assemble or place on any
parcels of the Land or in any of the Improvements, any items of personal property (including Inventory) owned by Lessee (the “Lessee’s Personal Property”). Lessee may, subject to the conditions set forth herein, remove any of
Lessee’s Personal Property upon the 

  

 22 

 
expiration or any prior termination of the Term. All of Lessee’s Personal Property, other than Inventory, not removed by Lessee within ten days
following the expiration or earlier termination of the Term shall be considered abandoned by Lessee and may be appropriated, sold, destroyed or otherwise disposed of by Lessor without first giving Notice thereof to Lessee, without any payment to
Lessee and without any obligation to account therefor. Lessee will, at its expense, restore the Leased Property to the condition required by Section 9.1(d), including repair of all damage to the Leased Property caused by the removal of Lessee’s
Personal Property, whether effected by Lessee or Lessor. 
  
 6.3 Lessor’s Lien. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Lessor is granted a lien and security interest on all of Lessee’s Personal Property now or hereinafter placed in or upon the Leased
Property, and such lien and security interest shall remain attached to Lessee’s Personal Property until payment in full of all Rent and satisfaction of all of Lessee’s obligations hereunder; provided, however, Lessor shall subordinate its
lien and security interest to that of any non-Affiliate of Lessee which finances such Lessee’s Personal Property or any non-Affiliate conditional seller of such Lessee’s Personal Property, the terms and conditions of such subordination to
be satisfactory to Lessor in the exercise of reasonable discretion. Lessee shall, upon the request of Lessor, execute such financing statements or other documents or instruments reasonably requested by Lessor to perfect the lien and security
interests herein granted. 
  
 ARTICLE 7 
  
 CONDITIONS; USE 
  
 7.1 Condition of the Leased Property. Lessee
acknowledges receipt and delivery of possession of the Leased Property. Lessee has examined and otherwise has knowledge of the condition of the Leased Property and has found the same to be satisfactory for its purposes hereunder. LESSEE IS LEASING
THE LEASED PROPERTY “AS IS” IN ITS PRESENT CONDITION. LESSEE WAIVES ANY CLAIM OR ACTION AGAINST LESSOR IN RESPECT OF THE CONDITION OF THE LEASED PROPERTY. LESSOR MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN RESPECT OF THE
LEASED PROPERTY, OR ANY PART THEREOF, EITHER AS TO ITS FITNESS FOR USE, DESIGN OR CONDITION FOR ANY PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE, AS TO THE QUALITY OF THE MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP THEREIN, LATENT OR PATENT, IT BEING AGREED THAT ALL SUCH
RISKS ARE TO BE BORNE BY LESSEE. LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE LEASED PROPERTY HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY LESSEE AND IS SATISFACTORY TO IT. Provided, however, to the extent permitted by law, Lessor hereby assigns to Lessee all of Lessor’s rights to
proceed against any predecessor in title other than Lessee for breaches of warranties or representations or for defects in the Leased Property. Lessor shall fully cooperate with Lessee in the prosecution of any such claim, in Lessor’s or
Lessee’s name, all at Lessee’s sole cost and expense. Lessee hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lessor from and against any claims, obligations and liabilities against or incurred by Lessor in connection with such
cooperation. 
  

 23 

 7.2 Use of the Leased Property. 
  
 (a) Lessee covenants that it will proceed with all
due diligence and will exercise its best efforts to obtain and to maintain all approvals needed to use and operate the Leased Property and the Facility under applicable local, state and federal law. 
  
 (b) Lessee shall use or cause to be used the Leased
Property only as a hotel facility, and for such other uses as may be necessary or incidental to such use or such other use as otherwise approved by Lessor (the “Primary Intended Use”). Lessee shall not use the Leased Property or any
portion thereof or any other use without the prior written consent of Lessor, which consent may be granted, denied or conditioned in Lessor’s sole discretion. No use shall be made or permitted to be made of the Leased Property, and no acts
shall be done, which will cause the cancellation or increase the premium of any insurance policy covering the Leased Property or any part thereof (unless another adequate policy satisfactory to Lessor is available and Lessee pays any premium
increase), nor shall Lessee sell or permit to be kept, used or sold in or about the Leased Property any article which may be prohibited by law or fire underwriter’s regulations. Lessee shall, at its sole cost, comply with all of the
requirements pertaining to the Leased Property of any insurance board, association, organization or company necessary for the maintenance of insurance, as herein provided, covering the Leased Property and Lessee’s Personal Property. 

 
 (c) Subject to the provisions of Articles XIV, XV,
XXI and XXII, Lessee covenants and agrees that during the Term it will (1) operate or cause to operate continuously the Leased Property as a hotel facility, (2) keep in full force and effect and comply with all the provisions of the Franchise
Agreement, (3) not terminate or amend the Franchise Agreement without the consent of Lessor, (4) maintain appropriate certifications and licenses for such use and (5) will seek to maximize the gross revenues generated therefrom consistent with sound
business practices. 
  
 (d) Lessee shall
not commit or suffer to be committed any waste on the Leased Property, or in the Facility, nor shall Lessee cause or permit any nuisance thereon. 
  
 (e) Lessee shall neither suffer nor permit the Leased Property or any portion thereof, or Lessee’s Personal Property, to be
used in such a manner as (1) might reasonably tend to impair Lessor’s (or Lessee’s, as the case may be) title thereto or to any portion thereof, or (2) may reasonably make possible a claim or claims of adverse usage or adverse possession
by the public, as such, or of implied dedication of the Leased Property or any portion thereof, except as necessary in the ordinary and prudent operation of the Facility on the Leased Property. 
  
 7.3 Lessor to Grant Easements, etc. Lessor will,
from time to time, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at the request of Lessee and at Lessee’s cost and expense (but subject to the approval of Lessor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed),
(a) grant easements and other rights in the nature of easements with respect to the Leased Property to third parties, (b) release existing easements or other rights in the nature of easements which are for the benefit of the Leased Property, (c)
dedicate or transfer unimproved portions of the Leased Property for road, highway or other public purposes, (d) execute petitions to have the Leased Property annexed to any municipal corporation or utility 

  

 24 

 
district, (e) execute amendments to any covenants and restrictions affecting the Leased Property and (f) execute and deliver to any person any instrument
appropriate to confirm or effect such grants, releases, dedications, transfers, petitions and amendments (to the extent of its interests in the Leased Property), but only upon delivery to Lessor of an Officer’s Certificate stating that such
grant, release, dedication, transfer, petition or amendment is not detrimental to the proper conduct of the business of Lessee on the Leased Property and does not materially reduce the value of the Leased Property. 
  
 ARTICLE 8 
  
 COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS 
  
 8.1 Compliance with Legal and Insurance Requirements, etc. Subject to Section 8.3(b) below and
Article XII relating to permitted contests, and subject further to the obligations of Lessor with respect to Capital Improvements as set forth in Section 9.1 (b), Lessee, at its expense, will promptly (a) comply with all applicable Legal
Requirements and Insurance Requirements in respect of the use, operation, maintenance, repair and restoration of the Leased Property, and (b) procure, maintain and comply with all appropriate licenses and other authorizations required for any use of
the Leased Property and Lessee’s Personal Property then being made, and for the proper erection, installation, operation and maintenance of the Leased Property or any part thereof. 
  
 8.2 Legal Requirement Covenants. Subject to Section 8.3(b) below, Lessee covenants and agrees
that the Leased Property and Lessee’s Personal Property shall not be used for any unlawful purpose, and that Lessee shall not permit or suffer to exist any unlawful use of the Leased Property by others. Lessee shall acquire and maintain all
appropriate licenses, certifications, permits and other authorizations and approvals needed to operate the Leased Property in its customary manner for the Primary Intended Use, and any other lawful use conducted on the Leased Property as may be
permitted from time to time hereunder. Lessee further covenants and agrees that Lessee’s use of the Leased Property and maintenance, alteration, and operation of the same, and all parts thereof, shall at all times conform to all Legal
Requirements, unless the same are finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unlawful (and Lessee shall cause all such sub-tenants, invitees or others to so comply with all Legal Requirements). Lessee may, however, upon prior
Notice to Lessor, contest the legality or applicability of any such Legal Requirement or any licensure or certification decision if Lessee maintains such action in good faith, with due diligence, without prejudice to Lessor’s rights hereunder,
and at Lessee’s sole expense. If by the terms of any such Legal Requirement compliance therewith pending the prosecution of any such proceeding may legally be delayed without the incurrence of any lien, charge or liability of any kind against
the Facility or Lessee’s leasehold interest therein and without subjecting Lessee or Lessor to any liability, civil or criminal, for failure so to comply therewith, Lessee may delay compliance therewith until the final determination of such
proceeding. If any lien, charge or civil or criminal liability would be incurred by reason of any such delay, Lessee, on the prior written consent of Lessor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, may nonetheless contest as aforesaid and
delay as aforesaid provided that such delay would not subject Lessor to criminal liability and Lessee both 

  

 25 

 
(a) furnishes to Lessor security reasonably satisfactory to Lessor against any loss or injury by reason of such contest or delay and (b) prosecutes the
contest with due diligence and in good faith. 
  
 8.3
Environmental Covenants. Lessor and Lessee (in addition to, and not in diminution of, Lessee’s covenants and undertakings in Sections 8.1 and 8.2 hereof) covenant and agree as follows: 
  
 (a) At all times hereafter until such time as all
liabilities, duties or obligations of Lessee to the Lessor under the Lease have been satisfied in full, Lessee shall fully comply with all Environmental Laws applicable to the Leased Property and the operations thereon unless caused by the acts or
grossly negligent failures to act of Lessor. Lessee agrees to give Lessor written notice of the following, promptly after Lessee receives knowledge thereof: (1) all Environmental Liabilities; (2) all pending, threatened or anticipated Proceedings,
and all notices, demands, requests or investigations, relating to any Environmental Liability or relating to the issuance, revocation or change in any Environmental Authorization required for operation of the Leased Property; (3) all Releases at,
on, in, under or in any way affecting the Leased Property, or any Release at, on, in or under any property adjacent to the Leased Property; and (4) all facts, events or conditions that could reasonably lead to the occurrence of any of the
above-referenced matters. 
  
 (b) Lessee
hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and save harmless any and all Lessor Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Environmental Liabilities except to the extent caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Lessor. 
  
 (c) Lessor hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and
save harmless any and all Lessee Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Environmental Liabilities caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Lessor. 
  
 (d) If any Proceeding is brought against any Indemnified Party in respect of an Environmental
Liability with respect to which such Indemnified Party may claim indemnification hereunder the Indemnifying Party, upon request, shall at its sole expense resist and defend such Proceeding, or cause the same to be resisted and defended by counsel
designated by the Indemnified Party and approved by the Indemnifying Party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that such approval shall not be required in the case of defense by counsel designated by any insurance
company undertaking such defense pursuant to any applicable policy of insurance. Each Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of
such counsel will be at the sole expense of such Indemnified Party unless such counsel has been approved by the Indemnifying Party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of
any such Proceeding made without its consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with the consent of the Indemnifying Party, or if settled without its consent (if its consent shall be unreasonably withheld), or if there be a
final, nonappealable judgment for an adversary party in any such Proceeding, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any liabilities incurred by such Indemnified Parties by reason of such
settlement or judgment. 
  

 26 

 (e) At any time any Indemnified Party has reason to believe circumstances exist
which could reasonably result in an Environmental Liability, upon reasonable prior written notice to Lessee stating such Indemnified Party’s basis for such belief, an Indemnified Party shall be given immediate access to the Leased Property
(including, but not limited to, the right to enter upon, investigate, drill wells, take soil borings, excavate, monitor, test, cap and use available land for the testing of remedial technologies), Lessee’s employees, and to all relevant
documents and records regarding the matter as to which a responsibility, liability or obligation is asserted or which is the subject of any Proceeding; provided that such access may be conditioned or restricted as may be reasonably necessary to
ensure compliance with law and the safety of personnel and facilities or to protect confidential or privileged information. All Indemnified Parties requesting such immediate access and cooperation shall endeavor to coordinate such efforts to result
in as minimal interruption of the operation of the Leased Property as practicable. 
  
 (f) The indemnification rights and obligations provided for in this Article VIII shall be in addition to any indemnification rights
and obligations provided for elsewhere in this Lease. 
  
 (g) The indemnification rights and obligations provided for in this Article VIII shall survive the termination of this Lease. 
  
 (h) For purposes of this Section 8.3, all amounts for which any Indemnified Party seeks indemnification shall be computed net of
(a) any actual income tax benefit resulting therefrom to such Indemnified Party, (b) any insurance proceeds received (net of tax effects) with respect thereto, and (c) any amounts recovered (net of tax effects) from any third parties based on claims
the Indemnified Party has against such third parties which reduce the damages that would otherwise be sustained; provided that in all cases, the timing of the receipt or realization of insurance proceeds or income tax benefits or recoveries from
third parties shall be taken into account in determining the amount of reduction of damages. Each Indemnified Party agrees to use its reasonable efforts to pursue, or assign to Lessee or Lessor, as the case may be, any claims or rights it may have
against any third party which would materially reduce the amount of damages otherwise incurred by such Indemnified Party. 
  
 (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if Lessor shall become entitled to the possession of the
Leased Property by virtue of the termination of the Lease or repossession of the Leased Property, then Lessor may assign its indemnification rights under Section 8.3 of this Lease (but not any other rights hereunder) to any Person to whom the Lessor
subsequently transfers the Leased Property, subject to the following conditions and limitations, each of which shall be deemed to be incorporated into the terms of such assignment, whether or not specifically referred to therein: 
  
 (i) The indemnification rights referred to in this
section may be assigned only if a known Environmental Liability then exists or if a Proceeding is then pending or, to the knowledge of Lessee or Lessor, then threatened with respect to the Leased Property; 
  

 27 

 (ii) Such indemnification rights shall be limited to Environmental Liabilities
relating to or specifically affecting the Leased Property; and 
  
 (iii) Any assignment of such indemnification rights shall be limited to the immediate transferee of Lessor, and shall not extend to any such transferee’s successors or assigns. 
  
 ARTICLE 9 
  
 MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS 
  
 9.1 Maintenance and Repair. 
  
 (a) Except as provided in Section 9.1(b) or Articles VIII or XIV, Lessee, at its sole expense, will keep the Leased Property in
good order and repair except for ordinary wear and tear (whether or not the need for such repairs occurred as a result of Lessee’s use, any prior use, the elements or the age of the Leased Property, or any portion thereof), and, with reasonable
promptness, make all necessary and appropriate repairs, replacements, and improvements thereto of every kind and nature, whether interior or exterior, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen or arising by reason of a condition existing
prior to the commencement of the Term of this Lease (concealed or otherwise), or required by any governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Leased Property. Lessee, however, shall be permitted to prosecute claims against Lessor’s
predecessors in title for breach of any representation or warranty or for any latent defects in the Leased Property to be maintained by Lessee unless Lessor is already diligently pursuing such a claim. All repairs shall, to the extent reasonably
achievable, be at least equivalent in quality to the original work. Lessee will not take or omit to take any action, the taking or omission of which might materially impair the value or the usefulness of the Leased Property or any part thereof for
its Primary Intended Use. 
  
 (b) Except
as set forth in Article XVIII of this Lease, Lessee shall be required to make (at the sole cost and expense of Lessor) all Capital Expenditures required in connection with (i) Emergency Situations, (ii) Legal Requirements, (iii) maintenance of the
Franchise Agreement, (iv) the performance by Lessee of its obligations under this Lease, and (v) other additions to the Leased Property as it may reasonably deem appropriate and that are permitted hereunder during the Term. 
  
 (c) Lessee will, upon the expiration or prior
termination of the Term, vacate and surrender the Leased Property to Lessor in the condition in which the Leased Property was originally received from Lessor, except as repaired, rebuilt, restored, altered or added to as permitted or required by the
provisions of this Lease and except for ordinary wear and tear (subject to the obligation of Lessee to maintain the Leased Property in good order and repair, as would a prudent owner, during the entire Term of the Lease, to the extent required in
Section 9.1(a)), or damage by casualty or Condemnation (subject to the obligations of Lessee to restore or repair as set forth in the Lease.) 
  

 28 

 9.2 Encroachments, Restrictions, etc. If any of the Improvements, at any
time, materially encroach upon any property, street or right-of-way adjacent to the Leased Property, or violate the agreements or conditions contained in any lawful restrictive covenant or other agreement affecting the Leased Property, or any part
thereof, or impair the rights of others under any easement or right-of-way to which the Leased Property is subject, then promptly upon the request of Lessor or at the behest of any person affected by any such encroachment, violation or impairment,
Lessee shall, at its expense, subject to its right to contest the existence of any encroachment, violation or impairment and in such case, in the event of an adverse final determination, either (a) obtain valid and effective waivers or settlements
of all claims, liabilities and damages resulting from each such encroachment, violation or impairment, whether the same shall affect Lessor or Lessee or (b) make such changes in the Improvements, and take such other actions, as Lessee in the good
faith exercise of its judgment deems reasonably practicable to remove such encroachment, and to end such violation or impairment, including, if necessary, the alteration of any of the Improvements, and in any event take all such actions as may be
necessary in order to be able to continue the operation of the Improvements for the Primary Intended Use substantially in the manner and to the extent the Improvements were operated prior to the assertion of such violation, impairment or
encroachment. Any such alteration shall be made in conformity with the applicable requirements of Article X. Lessee’s obligations under this Section 9.2 shall be in addition to and shall in no way discharge or diminish any obligation of any
insurer under any policy of title or other insurance held by Lessor. 
  
 ARTICLE 10 
  
 ALTERATIONS 
  
 10.1 Alterations. Lessor shall have the right to
make additions, modifications or improvements to the Leased Property from time to time as Lessor, in its discretion, may deem to be desirable for the permitted uses and purposes of the Leased Property, provided that such action will not
significantly alter the character or purposes or significantly detract from the value or operating efficiency thereof and will not significantly impair the revenue-producing capability of the Leased Property or adversely affect the ability of the
Lessee to comply with the provisions of this Lease. The cost of such additions, modifications or improvements to the Leased Property shall be paid by Lessor, and all such additions, modifications and improvements shall, be included under the terms
of this Lease and shall at all times be the property of Lessor. 
  
 ARTICLE 11 
  
 PROHIBITED LIENS AND ENCUMBRANCES

  
 11.1 Liens. Subject to the
provision of Article XII relating to permitted contests, Lessee will not directly or indirectly create or allow to remain and will promptly discharge at its expense any lien, encumbrance, attachment, title retention agreement or claim upon the
Leased Property or any attachment, levy, claim or encumbrance in respect of the Rent, not including, 

  

 29 

 
however, (a) this Lease, (b) the matters, if any, included as exceptions in the title policy insuring Lessor’s interest in the Leased Property, (c)
restrictions, liens and other encumbrances which are consented to in writing by Lessor or any easements granted pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.3 of this Lease, (d) liens for those taxes upon Lessor which Lessee is not required to pay
hereunder, (e) subleases permitted by Article XXIII hereof, (f) liens for Impositions or for sums resulting from noncompliance with Legal Requirements so long as (1) the same are not yet payable or are payable without the addition of any fine or
penalty or (2) such liens are in the process of being contested as permitted by Article XII, (g) liens of mechanics, laborers, material-men, suppliers or vendors for sums either disputed or not yet due provided that (1) the payment of such sums
shall not be postponed under any related contract for more than sixty (60) days after the completion of the action giving rise to such lien and such reserve or other appropriate provisions as shall be required by law or generally accepted accounting
principles shall have been made therefor or (2) any such liens are in the process of being contested as permitted by Article XII hereof, and (h) any liens which are the responsibility of Lessor pursuant to the provisions of Article IV of this Lease.

  
 ARTICLE 12 
  
 PERMITTED CONTESTS 
  
 12.1 Permitted Contests. Lessee shall have the
right to contest the amount or validity of any Imposition to be paid by Lessee or any Legal Requirement or Insurance Requirement or any lien, attachment, levy, encumbrance, charge or claim (“Claims”) not otherwise permitted by Article XI,
by appropriate legal proceedings in good faith and with due diligence (but this shall not be deemed or construed in any way to relieve, modify or extend Lessee’s covenants to pay or its covenants to cause to be paid any such charges at the time
and in the manner as in this Article XII provided), on condition, however, that such legal proceedings shall not operate to relieve Lessee from its obligations hereunder and shall not cause the sale or risk the loss of the Leased Property, or any
part thereof, or cause Lessor or Lessee to be in default under any mortgage, deed of trust or security deed encumbering the Leased Property or any interest therein. Upon the request of Lessor, Lessee shall either (a) provide a bond or other
assurance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor that all Claims which may be assessed against the Leased Property together with interest and penalties, if any, thereon will be paid, or (b) deposit within the time otherwise required for payment with a
bank or trust company as trustee upon terms reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, as security for the payment of such Claims, money in an amount sufficient to pay the same, together with interest and penalties in connection therewith, as to all Claims
which may be assessed against or become a Claim on the Leased Property, or any part thereof, in said legal proceedings. Lessee shall furnish Lessor and any lender of Lessor with reasonable evidence of such deposit within five days of the same.
Lessor agrees to join in any such proceedings if the same be required to legally prosecute such contest of the validity of such Claims; provided, however, that Lessor shall not thereby be subjected to any liability for the payment of any costs or
expenses in connection with any proceedings brought by Lessee; and Lessee covenants to indemnify and save harmless Lessor from any such costs or expenses. Lessee shall be entitled to any refund of any Claims and such charges and penalties or
interest thereon which have been paid by Lessee or paid by Lessor and for which Lessor has been fully reimbursed. In the event 

  

 30 

 
that Lessee fails to pay any Claims when due or to provide the security therefor as provided in this paragraph and to diligently prosecute any contest of the
same, Lessor may, upon ten days advance Notice to Lessee, pay such charges together with any interest and penalties and the same shall be repayable by Lessee to Lessor as Additional Charges at the next Payment Date provided for in this Lease.
Provided, however, that should Lessor reasonably determine that the giving of such Notice would risk loss to the Leased Property or cause damage to Lessor, then Lessor shall give such Notice as is practical under the circumstances. Lessor reserves
the right to contest any of the Claims at its expense not pursued by Lessee. Lessor and Lessee agree to cooperate in coordinating the contest of any Claims. 
  
 ARTICLE 13

 13.2 Replacement Cost. The term
“Full Replacement Cost” as used herein shall mean the actual replacement cost of the Leased Property requiring replacement from time to time including an increased cost of construction endorsement, if available, and the cost of debris
removal. In the event either party believes that full replacement cost (the then-replacement cost 

  

 32 

 
less such exclusions) has increased or decreased at any time during the Term, it shall have the right to have such full replacement cost re-determined.

  
 13.3 Waiver of Subrogation. All
insurance policies carried by Lessor or Lessee covering the Leased Property, the Fixtures, the Facility or Lessee’s Personal Property, including, without limitation, contents, fire and casualty insurance, shall expressly waive any right of
subrogation on the part of the insurer against the other party. The parties hereto agree that their policies will include such waiver clause or endorsement so long as the same are obtainable without extra cost, and in the event of such an extra
charge the other party, at its election, may pay the same, but shall not be obligated to do so. 
  
 13.4 Form Satisfactory, etc. All of the policies of insurance referred to in this Article XIII shall be written in a form,
with deductibles and by insurance companies satisfactory to Lessor and shall satisfy the requirements of the Franchise Agreement, if any. Lessee shall pay or cause the payment of all of the premiums required for any insurance required to be carried
by Lessee hereunder, and shall deliver such policies or certificates thereof to Lessor prior to their effective date (and, with respect to any renewal policy, thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the existing policy), and in the event of the
failure by Lessee either to effect such insurance as herein called for or to pay the premiums therefor, or to deliver such policies or certificates thereof to Lessor at the times required, Lessor shall be entitled, but shall have no obligation,
after ten (10) days’ Notice to Lessee, to effect such insurance and pay the premiums therefor, and to be reimbursed for any premium or premiums upon written demand therefore. Each insurer mentioned in this Article XIII shall agree, by
endorsement to the policy or policies issued by it, or by independent instrument furnished to Lessee, that it will give to Lessor thirty (30) days’ written notice before the policy or policies in question shall be materially altered, allowed to
expire or canceled. 
  
 13.5 Increase in Limits.
If either Lessor or Lessee at any time deems the limits of the personal injury or property damage under the comprehensive commercial general liability insurance then carried to be either excessive or insufficient, Lessor or Lessee shall
endeavor in good faith to agree on the proper and reasonable limits for such insurance to be carried and such insurance shall thereafter be carried with the limits thus agreed on until further change pursuant to the provisions of this Section.

  
 13.6 Blanket Policy.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article XIII, Lessee may bring the insurance provided for herein within the coverage of a so-called blanket policy or policies of insurance carried and maintained by Lessee or by
manager at Lessee’s direction; provided, however, that the coverage afforded to Lessor and Lessee will not be reduced or diminished or otherwise be different from that which would exist under a separate policy meeting all other requirements of
this Lease by reason of the use of such blanket policy of insurance, and provided further that the requirements of this Article XIII are otherwise satisfied. 
  
 13.7 No Separate Insurance. Lessee shall not on Lessee’s own initiative or pursuant to the request or requirement of any
third party, take out separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required in this Article XIII to be furnished, or increase the amount of any then existing insurance by securing an additional policy or
additional policies, 

  

 33 

 
unless all parties having an insurable interest in the subject matter of the insurance, including in all cases Lessor, are included therein as additional
insureds, and the loss is payable under such additional separate insurance in the same manner as losses are payable under this Lease. Lessee shall immediately notify Lessor that Lessee has obtained any such separate insurance or of the increasing of
any of the amounts of the then existing insurance.

 INSURANCE PROCEEDS 
  
 14.1 Insurance Proceeds. Subject to the
provisions of Section 14.6 and the terms of any lender mortgage, all proceeds payable by reason of any loss or damage to the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, and insured under any policy of insurance required by Article XIII of this Lease
shall be paid to Lessor and held by Lessor in an interest-bearing account, shall be made available, if applicable, for reconstruction or repair, as the case may be, of any damage to or destruction of the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, and,
if applicable, shall be paid out by Lessor from time to time for the reasonable costs of such reconstruction or repair upon satisfaction of reasonable terms and conditions specified by Lessor. Any excess proceeds of insurance remaining after the
completion of the restoration or reconstruction of the Leased Property shall be paid to Lessor. If neither Lessor nor Lessee is required or elects to repair and restore, all insurance proceeds shall be retained by Lessor. All salvage resulting from
any risk covered by insurance shall belong to Lessor. 
  
 14.2
Reconstruction in the Event of Damage or Destruction Covered by Insurance. 
  
 (a) Except as provided in Section 14.6, if during the Term the Leased Property is totally or partially destroyed by a risk covered
by the insurance described in Article XIII, whether or not such damage or destruction renders the Facility Unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use, Lessee shall be obligated, but only to the extent of any insurance proceeds made available to Lessee
and any other sums advanced by Lessor pursuant to the next sentence, to restore the Facility to substantially the same condition as existed immediately before the damage or destruction and otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Lease. If the
insurance proceeds are not adequate to restore the Facility to that condition, each of Lessor and Lessee shall have the right to terminate this Lease, without in any way affecting any other leases in effect between Lessor and Lessee, by giving
Notice to the other and all insurance proceeds shall be retained by Lessor; provided, however, that, if such termination is by Lessee, Lessor shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to nullify the termination and keep this Lease in full force
by providing, within thirty (30) days after Lessee’s Notice of termination, a Notice to Lessee of Lessor’s unconditional, legally binding obligation to be responsible for all restoration costs in excess of the insurance proceeds. If this
Lease is not terminated and Lessee restores the Facility, the insurance proceeds, and any other sums made available by Lessor as aforesaid, shall be paid out by Lessor from time to time for the reasonable costs of such restoration upon satisfaction
of reasonable terms and conditions, and any excess proceeds remaining after such restoration shall be retained by Lessor. 
  

 34 

 (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 14.2(a) above, if Lessee cannot
within a reasonable time obtain all necessary government approvals, including building permits, licenses and conditional use permits, after diligent efforts to do so, to perform all required repair and restoration work and to operate the Facility
for its Primary Intended Use in substantially the same manner as that existing immediately prior to such damage or destruction and otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Lease, either Lessor or Lessee may terminate this Lease by providing
Notice to the other party, without in any way affecting any other Leases then in effect between Lessor and Lessee. 
  
 14.3 Reconstruction in the event of Damage or Destruction not covered by Insurance. Except as provided in Section 14.6, if
during the Term the Facility is totally or materially destroyed by a risk not covered by the insurance described in Article XIII, whether or not such damage or destruction renders the Facility Unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use, the provisions
of Section 14.2 applicable to casualties for which insurance proceeds are inadequate shall govern. 
  
 14.4 Lessee’s Property. All insurance proceeds payable by reason of any loss of or damage to any of Lessee’s
Personal Property shall be paid to Lessee; provided, however, that no such payments shall diminish or reduce the insurance payments otherwise payable to or for the benefit of Lessor hereunder. 
  
 14.5 Abatement of Rent. Any damage or destruction
due to casualty notwithstanding, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect (unless otherwise terminated as set forth hereinabove) and Lessee’s obligation to make rental payments and to pay Rent required by this Lease shall remain
unabated by any damage or destruction which does not result in a reduction of Gross Revenues. If and to the extent that any damage or destruction results in a reduction of Gross Revenues which would otherwise be realizable from the operation of the
Facility, then Lessor shall receive all loss of income insurance and Lessee shall have no obligation to pay Rent in excess of the amount of Percentage Rent, if any, realizable from Gross Revenues generated by the operation of the Leased Property
during the existence of such damage or destruction. 
  
 14.6
Damage near end of Term. Notwithstanding any provisions of Section 14.2 or 14.3 to the contrary, if damage to or destruction of the Facility unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use occurs during the last twenty-four (24)
months of the Term, then Lessee shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Lessor within thirty (30) days after the date of damage or destruction, whereupon all accrued Rent shall be paid immediately, and this Lease
shall automatically terminate five days after the date of such notice. 
  
 14.7 Waiver. Lessee hereby waives any statutory rights of termination that may arise by reason of any damage or destruction of the Facility that Lessor is obligated to restore or may restore under any of the
provisions of this Lease.

 ARTICLE 15 
  

CONDEMNATION; TAKING 
  
 15.1 Definitions. 
  
 (a) “Condemnation” means a Taking resulting from (1) the exercise of any governmental power, whether by legal proceedings
or otherwise, by a Condemnor, and (2) a voluntary sale or transfer by Lessor to any Condemnor, either under threat of condemnation or while legal proceedings for condemnation are pending. 
  
 (b) “Date of Taking” means the date the
Condemnor has the right to possession of the property being condemned. 
  
 (c) “Award” means all compensation, sums or anything of value awarded, paid or received on a total or partial Condemnation. 
  
 (d) “Condemnor” means any public or quasi-public authority, or private corporation or
individual, having the power of Condemnation. 
  
 15.2
Parties’ Rights and Obligations. If during the Term there is any Condemnation of all or any part of the Leased Property or any interest in this Lease, the rights and obligations of Lessor and Lessee shall be determined
by this Article XV. 
  
 15.3 Total Taking. If
title to the fee of the whole of the Leased Property is condemned by any Condemnor, this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the Date of Taking by the Condemnor. If title to the fee of less than the whole of the Leased Property is so taken or
condemned, which nevertheless renders the Leased Property Unsuitable or Uneconomic for its Primary Intended Use, Lessee and Lessor shall each have the option, by notice to the other, at any time prior to the Date of Taking, to terminate this Lease
as of the Date of Taking. Upon such date, if such Notice has been given, this Lease shall thereupon cease and terminate. All Base Rent, Percentage Rent and Additional Charges paid or payable by Lessee hereunder shall be apportioned as of the Date of
Taking, and Lessee shall promptly pay Lessor such amounts. 
  
 15.4 Allocation of Award. The total Award made with respect to the Leased Property in connection with a Total Taking shall be equitably apportioned between Lessor and Lessee in proportion to the then fair market
values of the respective estates and interests of Lessor and Lessee in and to the Leased Property and under this Lease. 
  
 15.5 Partial Taking. If less than the whole of the Leased Property is condemned, and the Leased Property is still suitable for
its Primary Intended Use, and not Uneconomic for its Primary Intended Use, or if Lessee or Lessor is entitled but neither elects not to terminate this Lease as provided in Section 15.3, Lessee at its cost shall with all reasonable dispatch, but only
to the extent of any condemnation awards made available to Lessee and any other sums advanced by Lessor pursuant to the next sentence, restore the untaken portion of any Improvements so that such Improvements constitute a complete architectural unit
of the same general character and condition (as nearly as may be possible under the circumstances) as the Improvements existing immediately prior to the Condemnation. If the condemnation awards are 

  

 36 

 
not adequate to restore the Facility to that condition, each of Lessor and Lessee shall have the right to terminate this Lease, without in any way affecting
any other leases in effect between Lessor and Lessee, by giving Notice to the other; provided, however, that if such termination is by Lessee, Lessor shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to nullify the termination and keep this Lease in
full force by providing, within thirty (30) days after Lessee’s Notice of termination, a Notice to Lessee of Lessor’s unconditional, legally binding obligation to be responsible for all restoration costs in excess of the condemnation
awards. If this Lease is not terminated and Lessee restores the Facility, the condemnation awards, and any other sums made available by Lessor as aforesaid, subject to the terms of any lender mortgage, shall be held in trust by Lessor and paid out
by Lessor from time to time for the reasonable costs of such restoration upon satisfaction of reasonable terms and conditions, and any excess awards remaining after such restoration shall be retained by Lessor unless the partial condemnation
materially impairs the operations or financial performance of the Facility, in which latter event the award shall be equitably apportioned between Lessor and Lessee in proportion to the then fair market values of the respective estates and interests
of Lessor and Lessee in and to the Leased Property and under this Lease. 
  
 15.6 Temporary Taking. If the whole or any part of the Leased Property or of Lessee’s interest under this Lease is condemned by any Condemnor for its temporary use or occupancy, this Lease
shall not terminate by reason thereof, and Lessee shall continue to pay, in the manner and at the terms herein specified, the full amounts of the Base Rent, Percentage Rent and Additional Charges. In addition, the entire amount of any Award made for
such Condemnation allocable to the Term of this Lease, whether paid by way of damages, rent or otherwise, shall be paid to Lessee and, except for any portion thereof utilized for restoration, shall be deemed to be Room Revenues for the purpose of
calculating the Percentage Rent payable hereunder during such temporary taking. Except only to the extent that Lessee may be prevented from so doing pursuant to the terms of the order of the Condemnor, Lessee shall continue to perform and observe
all of the other terms, covenants, conditions and obligations hereof on the part of the Lessee to be performed and observed, as though such Condemnation had not occurred. Lessee covenants that upon the termination of any such period of temporary use
or occupancy it will, at its sole cost and expense (subject to Lessor’s contribution as set forth below), restore the Leased Property as nearly as may be reasonably possible to the condition in which the same was immediately prior to such
Condemnation, unless (a) such period of temporary use or occupancy extends beyond the expiration of the Term, in which case Lessee shall not be required to make such restoration, or (b) the condemnation award is inadequate to cover the costs of such
restoration, in which case the provisions of Section 15.5 applicable to inadequate awards shall govern. If restoration is required in connection with such temporary taking and the condemnation award (together with any other sums Lessor elects, in
its sole discretion, to advance) is adequate to pay the costs thereof, the provisions of Section 15.5 shall govern the disbursement of the awards (and other sums, if applicable) and the disposition of any awards in excess of restoration costs. If
restoration is required hereunder, Lessor shall contribute to the cost of such restoration that portion of its entire Award that is specifically allocated to such restoration in the judgment or order of the court, if any, and Lessee shall fund the
balance of such costs in advance of restoration in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Lessor.

 ARTICLE 16 
  

EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES; DAMAGES 
  
 16.1 Events of Default.  
  
 If any one or more of the following events (individually, an “Event of Default”) occurs: 
  
 (a) if Lessee fails to make payment of the Base Rent
or Percentage Rentor Additional Charges when the same become due and payable for a period of ten (10) days after receipt by the Lessee of Notice from the Lessor thereof; 
  
 (b) if Lessee fails to observe or perform any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than
the payment of Rent or Additional Rent, and such failure is not cured by Lessee within a period of thirty (30) days after receipt by the Lessee of Notice thereof from Lessor, unless such failure cannot with due diligence be cured within a period of
thirty (30) days, in which case it shall not be deemed an Event of Default if Lessee proceeds promptly and with due diligence to cure the failure and diligently completes the curing thereof provided, however, that in no event shall such cure period
extend beyond one hundred and twenty (120) days after such Notice; or 
  
 (c) if the Lessee shall file a petition in bankruptcy or reorganization for an arrangement pursuant to any federal or state bankruptcy law or any similar federal or state law, or shall be adjudicated a bankrupt
or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or if a petition or answer proposing the adjudication of the Lessee as a bankrupt or its reorganization
pursuant to any federal or state bankruptcy law or any similar federal or state law shall be filed in any court and the Lessee shall be adjudicated a bankrupt and such adjudication shall not be vacated or set aside or stayed within sixty (60) days
after the entry of an order in respect thereof, or if a receiver of the Lessee or of the whole or substantially all of the assets of the Lessee shall be appointed in any proceeding brought by the Lessee or if any such receiver, trustee or liquidator
shall be appointed in any proceeding brought against the Lessee and shall not be vacated or set aside or stayed within sixty (60) days after such appointment; or 
  
 (d) if Lessee is liquidated or dissolved, or begins proceedings toward such liquidation or
dissolution, or, in any manner, permits the sale or divestiture of substantially all of its assets; or 
  
 (e) if the estate or interest of Lessee in the Leased Property or any part thereof is voluntarily or involuntarily transferred,
assigned, conveyed, levied upon or attached in any proceeding (unless Lessee is contesting such lien or attachment in good faith in accordance with Article XII hereof); or 
  
 (f) if, except as a result of and to the extent required by damage, destruction, partial or complete
Condemnation or Unavoidable Delay, Lessee voluntarily ceases operations on the Leased Property for a period in excess of thirty (30) days; or 
  

 38 

 (g) if: (A) an Event of Default has been declared by the franchisor under the
Franchise Agreement with respect to the Facility on the Leased Premises as a result of any action or failure to act by Lessee or any Person with whom Lessee contracts for management services at the Facility, and (B) Lessee has failed, within thirty
(30) days thereafter, to cure such default by either (1) curing the underlying default under the Franchise Agreement and paying all costs and expenses associated therewith, or (2) obtaining at Lessee’s sole cost and expense a substitute
franchise license agreement with a substitute franchisor acceptable to Lessor, on terms and conditions acceptable to Lessor; provided, however, that if Lessee is in good faith disputing an assertion of default by the franchisor or is proceeding
diligently to cure such default, the 30-day period shall be extended for such period of time as Lessee continues to dispute such default in good faith or diligently proceeds to cure such default, so long as there is no period during which the
Facility is not operated pursuant to a Franchise Agreement approved by Lessor; then, and in any such event, Lessor may exercise one or more remedies available to it herein or at law or in equity, including, but not limited to, its right to terminate
this Lease by giving Lessee not less than ten (10) days’ Notice of such termination. 
  
 If litigation is commenced with respect to any alleged default under this Lease, the prevailing party in such litigation shall receive, in addition to its damages incurred, such sum as the court shall determine as its
reasonable attorneys’ fees, and all costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith. 
  
 No Event of Default (other than a failure to make a payment of money) shall be deemed to exist under clause (c) above during any time the curing thereof is prevented by an Unavoidable Delay, provided that upon the
cessation of such Unavoidable Delay, Lessee remedies such default or Event of Default without further delay. 
  
 16.2 Surrender. If an Event of Default occurs (and the event giving rise to such Event of Default has not been cured within
the curative period relating thereto as set forth in Section 16.1) and is continuing, whether or not this Lease has been terminated pursuant to Section 16.1, Lessee shall, if requested by Lessor so to do, immediately surrender to Lessor the Leased
Property including, without limitation, any and all books, records, files, licenses, permits and keys relating thereto, and quit the same and Lessor may enter upon and repossess the Leased Property by reasonable force, summary proceedings, ejectment
or otherwise, and may remove Lessee and all other persons and any and all personal property from the Leased Property, subject to rights of any hotel guests and to any requirement of law. Lessee hereby waives any and all requirements of applicable
laws for service of notice to re-enter the Leased Property. Lessor shall be under no obligation to, but may if it so chooses, re-let the Leased Property or otherwise mitigate Lessor’s damages, except unless otherwise required by applicable law.

  
 16.3 Damages. Neither (a) the
termination of this Lease, (b) the repossession of the Leased Property, (c) the failure of Lessor to re-let the Leased Property, nor (d) the re-letting of all or any portion thereof, shall relieve Lessee of its liability and obligations hereunder,
all of which shall survive any such termination, repossession or re-letting. In the event of any such termination, Lessee shall forthwith pay to Lessor all Rent due and payable with respect to the Leased Property to and including the date of such
termination. 
  

 39 

 Lessee shall forthwith pay to Lessor, at Lessor’s option, as and for liquidated and agreed current damages for
Lessee’s default, either: 
  
 (a)
Without termination of Lessee’s right to possession of the Leased Property, each installment of Rent and other sums payable by Lessee to Lessor under the Lease as the same becomes due and payable, which Rent and other sums shall bear
interest at the Overdue Rate, and Lessor may enforce, by action or otherwise, any other term or covenant of this Lease; or 
  
 (b) the sum of: 
  
 (i) the unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of termination, repossession or reletting, and 
  
 (ii) the amount at the time of termination,
repossession or reletting of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the time of termination, repossession or reletting, exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided, and

  
 (iii) any other amount necessary to
compensate Lessor for all the detriment proximately caused by Lessee’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things, would be likely to result therefrom. The amount at the time of termination,
repossession or reletting referred to in subparagraph (B) is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York at the time of award plus 1%. 
  
 Rent for the purposes of this Section 16.3 shall be a sum equal to (i) the average of the annual amounts of the greater of the Base Rent or
Percentage Rent for the three Fiscal Years immediately preceding the Fiscal Year in which the termination, re-entry or repossession takes place, or (ii) if three Fiscal Years shall not have elapsed, the average of the greater of the Base Rent or
Percentage Rent during the preceding Fiscal Years during which the Lease was in effect, or (iii) if one Fiscal Year has not elapsed, the amount derived by annualizing the greater of the Base Rent or Percentage Rent from the effective date of this
Lease. 
  
 16.4 Waiver. If this Lease
is terminated pursuant to Section 16.1, Lessee waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) any right to a trial by jury in the event of summary proceedings to enforce the remedies set forth in this Article XVI, and (b) the benefit of any
laws now or hereafter in force exempting property from liability for rent or for debt and Lessor waives any right to “pierce the corporate veil” of Lessee other than to the extent funds shall have been inappropriately paid to any Affiliate
of Lessee following a default resulting in an Event of Default. 
  
 16.5 Application of Funds. Any payments received by Lessor under any of the provisions of this Lease during the existence or continuance of any Event of Default shall be applied to Lessee’s obligations in
the order that Lessor may determine or as may be prescribed by the laws of the State. 
  

 40 

 ARTICLE 17 
  

LESSOR’S RIGHT TO CURE 
  
 17.1 Lessor’s Right to Cure Lessee’s Default. If Lessee fails to make any payment or to perform any act required to
be made or performed under this Lease including, without limitation, Lessee’s failure to comply with the terms of any Franchise Agreement, and fails to cure the same within the relevant time periods provided in Section 16.1, Lessor, without
waiving or releasing any obligation of Lessee, and without waiving or releasing any obligation or default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) at any time thereafter make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of
Lessee, and may, to the extent permitted by law, enter upon the Leased Property for such purpose and, subject to Section 16.4, take all such action thereon as, in Lessor’s opinion, may be necessary or appropriate therefor. No such entry shall
be deemed an eviction of Lessee. All sums so paid by Lessor and all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, in each case to the extent permitted by law) so incurred, together with a late
charge thereon (to the extent permitted by law) at the Overdue Rate from the date on which such sums or expenses are paid or incurred by Lessor, shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor on demand. The obligations of Lessee and rights of Lessor contained in
this Article XVII shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

 ARTICLE 19 
  
 REIT REQUIREMENTS 
  
 19.1 REIT Requirements. 
  
 (a) Lessee understands that, in order for MHI to
qualify as a REIT, the following requirements (the “REIT Requirements”) must be satisfied: 
  
 (i) The average of the fair market values of Lessor’s personal property that is leased to Lessee under a lease at the
beginning and end of a calendar year cannot exceed 15% of the average of the aggregate fair market values of all of Lessor’s property that is leased to Lessee under such lease at the beginning and end of such calendar year. 
  
 (ii) Lessee cannot sublet the property that is leased
to it by Lessor, or enter into any similar arrangement, on any basis such that the rental or other amounts 

  

 41 

 
paid by the sublessee thereunder would be based, in whole or in part, on either (i) the net income or profits derived by the business activities of the
sublessee or (ii) any other formula such that any portion of the rent paid by Lessee to Lessor would fail to qualify as “rents from real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code. 
  
 (iii) Lessee cannot sublease the property leased to
it by Lessor to, or enter into any similar arrangement with, any person in which MHI owns, directly or indirectly, a 10% or more interest, within the meaning of Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code. 
  
 (iv) Lessee agrees to make an election to be, and to
operate as a “Taxable REIT Subsidiary” of MHI within the meaning of Section 856(l) of the Code. 
  
 (v) No person can own, directly or directly, capital stock of MHI that exceeds the “LIMIT” (as defined in MHI’s
certificate of incorporation, as amended and restated). 
  
 (vi) Lessee shall not (i) directly or indirectly operate or manage a “Lodging Facility” within the meaning of Section 856(d)(9)(D)(ii) of the Code or a “Health Care Facility” within the
meaning of Section 856(e)(6)(D)(ii) or (ii) directly or indirectly provide to any other person (under a franchise, license, or otherwise) rights to any brand name under which any lodging facility or health care facility is operated; provided,
however, that Lessee may provide such rights to Manager to operate or manage a lodging facility as long as such rights are held by Lessee as a franchisee, licensee, or in a similar capacity and such lodging facility is either owned by Lessee or is
leased to Lessee by Lessor or one of its Affiliates. 
  
 (b) Lessee agrees, and agrees to use reasonable efforts to cause its Affiliates, to use its best efforts to permit the REIT Requirements to be satisfied. Lessee agrees, and agrees to use reasonable efforts to cause its Affiliates, to
cooperate in good faith with MHI and Lessor to ensure that the REIT Requirements are satisfied, including but not limited to, providing MHI with information about the ownership of Lessee, and its Affiliates to the extent that such information is
reasonably available. Lessee agrees, and agrees to use reasonable efforts to cause its Affiliates, upon request by MHI, and, where appropriate, at MHI’s expense, to take reasonable action necessary to ensure compliance with the REIT
Requirements. Immediately after becoming aware that the REIT Requirements are not, or will not be, satisfied, Lessee shall notify, or use reasonable efforts to cause its Affiliates to notify, MHI of such noncompliance. 
  
 19.2 Lessee Officer and Employee Limitation.
Anything contained in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the officers or employees of the Lessee or any subsidiary of Lessee shall be officers or employees of Manager (or any Person who operates or manages the Leased
Property). In addition, if a Person serves as both (a) a director of the Lessee or any subsidiary of Lessee and (b) a director and officer (or employee) of Manager (or any Person who operates or manages the Leased Property), that Person shall not
receive any compensation for serving as a director of the Lessee or any subsidiary of Lessee. If a person serves as both (a) a director of Manager or any subsidiary of Manager (or any Person who operates or manages the Leased Property) and (b) a
director and officer (or employee) of Lessee, that Person shall not receive any compensation for serving as a director of Manager. 
  

 42 

 19.3 Management Agreement. Lessee agrees that, in order to comply with
certain of the REIT Requirements, it will, at all times during the Term, cause the Leased Property to be operated and managed by a management company (“Manager”) that is an Eligible Independent Contractor. Effective as of the Commencement
Date, the Lessee shall enter into an initial management agreement in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto (the “Management Agreement”) and Lessee shall provide Lessor with an executed copy thereof. The Management Agreement is a
hotel master management agreement which covers the Leased Property and all of the other hotel properties currently (or to be in the future) leased by Lessee from Affiliates of Lessor. Lessee may not amend, modify or terminate the Management
Agreement in any material respect or change the Manager without the prior written consent of Lessor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that a majority of the independent directors of MHI as determined under the AMEX rules
and regulations approves such amendment, modification or termination of the Management Agreement. Lessee shall also provide Lessor with copies of any amendments or modifications to the Management Agreement which are entered into from time to time or
any other management agreement. Lessor shall have the right to approve in advance any Manager. 
  
 ARTICLE 20 
  
 HOLDING
OVER 
  
 20.1 Holding Over. If
Lessee for any reason remains in possession of the Leased Property after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, such possession shall be as a tenant at sufferance during which time Lessee shall pay as rental each month two times the
aggregate of (a) one-twelfth of the Base Rent and Percentage Rent payable with respect to the last Fiscal Year of the Term, (b) all Additional Charges accruing during the applicable month and(c) all other sums, if any, payable by Lessee under this
Lease with respect to the Leased Property. During such period, Lessee shall be obligated to perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, but shall have no rights hereunder other than the right, to the extent given by
law to tenancies at sufferance, to continue its occupancy and use of the Leased Property. Nothing contained herein shall constitute the consent, express or implied, of Lessor to the holding over of Lessee after the expiration or earlier termination
of this Lease.

RISK OF LOSS 
  
 21.1 Risk of Loss. During the Term, the risk of loss or of decrease in the enjoyment and beneficial use of the Leased Property in
consequence of the damage or destruction thereof by fire, the elements, casualties, thefts, riots, wars or otherwise, or in consequence of foreclosures, attachments, levies or executions (other than those caused by Lessor and those claiming from,
through or under Lessor) is assumed by Lessee except as specifically provided in this Lease, and, Lessor shall in no event be answerable or accountable therefor, nor shall any of the events mentioned in this Section entitle Lessee to any abatement
of Rent except as specifically provided in this Lease. 
  
 ARTICLE 22 
  
 INDEMNIFICATION 

 
 22.1 Indemnification. Notwithstanding the existence
of any insurance, and without regard to the policy limits of any such insurance or self-insurance, but subject to Articles VIII, XIV and XV, Lessee will protect, indemnify, hold harmless and defend Lessor from and against all liabilities,
obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), to the extent permitted by law, imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against Lessor
Indemnified Parties by reason of: (a) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property occurring on or about the Leased Property or adjoining sidewalks, including without limitation any claims under liquor liability,
“dramshop” or similar laws, (b) any past, present or future use, misuse, non-use, condition, management, maintenance or repair by Lessee or any of its agents, employees or invitees of the Leased Property or Lessee’s Personal Property
or any litigation, proceeding or claim by governmental entities or other third parties to which a Lessor Indemnified Party is made a party or participant related to such use, misuse, non-use, condition, management, maintenance, or repair thereof by
Lessee or any of its agents, employees or invitees, including any failure of Lessee or any of its agents, employees or invitees to perform any obligations under this Lease or imposed by applicable law (other than arising out of Condemnation
proceedings), (c) any Impositions that are the obligations of Lessee pursuant to the applicable provisions of this Lease, (d) any failure on the part of Lessee to perform or comply with any of the terms of this Lease, and (e) the non-performance of
any of the terms and provisions of any and all existing and future subleases of the Leased Property to be performed by the landlord thereunder. 
  
 Lessor shall indemnify, save harmless and defend Lessee Indemnified Parties from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties,
causes of action, costs and expenses imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against Lessee Indemnified Parties as a result of (a) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor arising in connection with this Lease or (b) any failure on the
part of Lessor to perform or comply with any of its obligations under this Lease. 
  

 44 

 Any amounts that become payable by an Indemnifying Party under this Section shall be paid within ten days
after liability therefor on the part of the Indemnifying Party is determined by litigation or otherwise, and if not timely paid, shall bear a late charge (to the extent permitted by law) at the Overdue Rate from the date of such determination to the
date of payment. An Indemnifying Party, at its expense, shall contest, resist and defend any such claim, action or proceeding asserted or instituted against the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party, at its expense, shall be entitled to
participate in any such claim, action, or proceeding, and the Indemnifying Party may not compromise or otherwise dispose of the same without the consent of the Indemnified Party, which may not be unreasonably withheld. Nothing herein shall be
construed as indemnifying a Lessor Indemnified Party against its own grossly negligent acts or omissions or willful misconduct. 
  
 Lessee’s or Lessor’s liability for a breach of the provisions of this Article XXII shall survive any termination of this Lease. 
  
 ARTICLE 23 
  
 SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT 
  
 23.1 Subletting and Assignment. Subject to the
provisions of Article XIX and Section 23.2 and any other express conditions or limitations set forth herein, Lessee may, but only with the prior written consent of Lessor which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, (a) assign this Lease or
sublet all or any part of the Leased Property to an Affiliate of Lessee, or (b) sublet any retail or restaurant portion of the Improvements in the normal course of the Primary Intended Use; provided that any subletting to any party other than an
Affiliate of Lessee shall not individually as to any one such subletting, or in the aggregate, materially diminish the actual or potential Percentage Rent payable under this Lease. In the case of a subletting, the sublessee shall comply with the
provisions of Section 23.2, and in the case of an assignment, the assignee shall assume in writing and agree to keep and perform all of the terms of this Lease on the part of Lessee to be kept and performed and shall be, and become, jointly and
severally liable with Lessee for the performance thereof. In case of either an assignment or subletting made during the Term, Lessee shall remain primarily liable, as principal rather than as surety, for the prompt payment of the Rent and for the
performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions to be performed by Lessee hereunder. An original counterpart of each such sublease and assignment and assumption, duly executed by Lessee and such sublessee or assignee, as the case
may be, in form and substance satisfactory to Lessor, shall be delivered promptly to Lessor. 
  
 23.2 Attornment. Lessee shall insert in each sublease permitted under Section 23.1 provisions to the effect that (a) such sublease is subject and subordinate to all of the terms and provisions of
this Lease and to the rights of Lessor hereunder, (b) if this Lease terminates before the expiration of such sublease, the sublessee thereunder will, at Lessor’s option, attorn to Lessor and waive any right the sublessee may have to terminate
the sublease or to surrender possession thereunder as a result of the termination of this Lease, and (c) if the sublessee receives a written Notice from Lessor or Lessor’s assignees, if any, stating that an uncured Event of Default exists

  

 45 

 
under this Lease, the sublessee shall thereafter be obligated to pay all rentals accruing under said sublease directly to the party giving such Notice, or as
such party may direct. All rentals received from the sublessee by Lessor or Lessor’s assignees, if any, as the case may be, shall be credited against the amounts owing by Lessee under this Lease.

 ARTICLE 25 
  

LESSOR’S DEFAULT; CURE RIGHTS 
  
 25.1 Lessee’s Right to Cure. Subject to the provisions of Section 25.2, if Lessor breaches any covenant to be performed
by it under this Lease, Lessee, after Notice to and demand upon Lessor, without waiving or releasing any obligation hereunder, and in addition to all other remedies available to Lessee, may (but shall be under no obligation at any time thereafter
to) make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of Lessor. All sums so paid by Lessee and all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) so incurred, together with interest
thereon at the Overdue Rate from the date on which such sums or expenses are paid or incurred by Lessee, shall be paid by Lessor to Lessee on demand or, following entry of a final, nonappealable judgment against Lessor for such sums, may be offset
by Lessee against the Base Rent payments next accruing or coming due. The rights of Lessee hereunder to cure and to secure payment from Lessor in accordance with this Section 25.1 shall survive the termination of this Lease with respect to the
Leased Property. 
  
 25.2 Breach by Lessor.
It shall be a breach of this Lease if Lessor fails to observe or perform any term, covenant or condition of this Lease on its part to be performed and such failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days after Notice thereof from
Lessee, unless such failure cannot with due diligence be cured within a period of thirty (30) days, in which case such failure shall not be deemed to continue if Lessor, within such 30-day period, proceeds promptly and with due diligence to cure the
failure and diligently completes the curing thereof. The time within which Lessor shall be obligated to cure any such failure also shall be subject to extension of time due to the occurrence of any Unavoidable Delay.

 ARTICLE 27 
  

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 
  
 27.1 Transfer of Licenses. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Lessee shall use its best efforts (i) to transfer
to Lessor or Lessor’s nominee or designee all Franchise Agreements, licenses, operating permits and other governmental authorizations and all contracts, including contracts with governmental or quasi-governmental entities, that may be necessary
for the operation of the Facility (collectively, “Licenses”), or (ii) if such transfer is prohibited by law or Lessor otherwise elects, to cooperate with Lessor or Lessor’s nominee in connection with the processing by Lessor or
Lessor’s nominee of any applications for, all Licenses; provided, in either case, that the costs and expenses of any such transfer or the processing of any such application shall be paid by Lessor or Lessor’s nominee. 
  
 27.2 Early Termination Rights; Termination Fees.
Lessor may terminate the Lease as to any Leased Property prior to the Expiration Date by reason of a sale of the Facility, (pursuant to the notice requirements contained herein), provided Lessor pays to Lessee a termination fee (the
“Termination Fee”) equal to the fair market value of the leasehold estate. 
  
 27.3 Substitution of Initial Hotel. Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 27.2, in the event of a termination of this Lease, Lessor may (in its sole and absolute discretion) avoid payment
of the Termination Fee by offering to substitute for the Leased Property within 120 days of such termination, another hotel facility reasonably comparable in size, number of rooms, quality of franchise operation, market and geographical location,
and gross revenues, to be governed by the terms and conditions of this Lease from and after the date of such substitution, and, in the event Lessee desires to lease such substitute hotel, this Lease shall be amended accordingly. In the event of a
substitution, any Rent and other charges payable under this Lease shall be suspended until the substitution is fully consummated. 
  
 27.4 Compliance with Franchise Agreement. To the extent any of the provisions of the Franchise Agreement impose a greater
obligation on Lessee than the corresponding provisions of this Lease, then Lessee shall be obligated to comply with the provisions of the Franchise Agreement except in regard to those obligations which are the responsibility of Lessor as provided
herein. It is the intent of the parties hereto that Lessee shall comply in every respect with the provisions of the Franchise Agreement so as to avoid any default thereunder during the term of this Lease. Lessee shall not terminate, extend or enter
into any modification of the Franchise Agreement without in each instance first obtaining Lessor’s prior written consent. Lessor and Lessee agree to cooperate with each other in the event it becomes necessary to obtain a franchise extension or
modification or a new franchise for the Leased Property, and in any transfer of the Franchise Agreement to Lessor (if applicable) or any designee of or any successor to Lessee (as applicable) upon the termination of this Lease. In the event of
expiration or termination of a Franchise Agreement, for whatever reason, the Lessor will have the right, in its sole discretion, to approve any new Franchise Agreement for the Facility. If, upon any expiration or earlier termination of this Lease
(other than upon an Event of Default by Lessee), a Franchise Agreement remains in effect, or would but for such expiration or termination remain in effect, 

  

 49 

 
Lessor shall indemnify, defend and hold Lessee harmless with respect to the obligations and liabilities arising thereunder after the date of expiration or
termination of this Lease. 
  
 27.5 Lessor’s
Right to Inspect. Lessee shall permit Lessor and its authorized representatives as frequently as reasonably requested by Lessor to inspect the Leased Property and Lessee’s accounts and records pertaining thereto and make copies
thereof, during usual business hours upon reasonable advance notice, subject only to any business confidentiality requirements reasonably requested by Lessee, provided that Lessor shall not cause any interference with the operation of the Leased
Property. 
  
 27.6 Conveyance by Lessor.
If Lessor or any successor owner of the Leased Property conveys the Leased Property to a Person other than a wholly owned Affiliate of Lessor in accordance with the terms hereof other than as security for a debt, and the grantee or
transferee of the Leased Property expressly assumes all obligations of Lessor hereunder arising or accruing from and after the date of such conveyance or transfer, Lessor or such successor owner, as the case may be, shall thereupon be released from
all future liabilities and obligations of Lessor under this Lease arising or accruing from and after the date of such conveyance or other transfer as to the Leased Property and all such future liabilities and obligations shall thereupon be binding
upon the new owner. 
  
 27.7 Lessor may Grant
Liens. Without the consent of Lessee, Lessor may, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below in this Section 27.7, from time to time, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause to exist any lien, encumbrance or title
retention agreement (“Encumbrance”) upon the Leased Property, or any portion thereof or interest therein, whether to secure any borrowing or other means of financing or refinancing. Upon the request of Lessor, Lessee shall subordinate this
Lease to the lien of a new mortgage on the Leased Property. 
  
 27.8 Non Disturbance Agreement. Lessor agrees, subject to any restrictions or limitations imposed by any lender of Lessor, to execute in favor of Manager a non disturbance and attornment agreement in form and
substance reasonably acceptable to Lessor and Manager. 
  
 27.9
Waiver of Presentment, etc. Lessee waives all presentments, demands for payment and for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, and notices of acceptance and waives all
notices of the existence, creation, or incurring of new or additional obligations, except as expressly granted herein. 
  
 27.10 Memorandum of Lease. Lessor and Lessee shall promptly upon the request of either enter into a short form memorandum of
this Lease, in form suitable for recording under the laws of the State in which reference to this Lease, and all options contained herein, shall be made. Lessee shall pay all costs and expenses of recording such memorandum of this Lease. 

 
 27.11 Usury. If any late charges or any
interest rate provided for in any provision of this Lease are based upon a rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, the parties agree that such charges shall be fixed at the maximum permissible rate. 
  

 50 

 27.12 No Waiver. No failure by Lessor or Lessee to insist upon the strict
performance of any term hereof or to exercise any right, power or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, and no acceptance of full or partial payment of Rent during the continuance of any such breach, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach
or of any such term. To the extent permitted by law, no waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Lease, which shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach. 
  
 27.13 Remedies Cumulative. To the extent
permitted by law, each legal, equitable or contractual right, power and remedy of Lessor or Lessee now or hereafter provided either in this Lease or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other
right, power and remedy and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Lessor or Lessee of any one or more of such rights, powers and remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or subsequent exercise by Lessor or Lessee of any or all of such
other rights, powers and remedies. 
  
 27.14
Acceptance of Surrender. No surrender to Lessor of this Lease or of the Leased Property or any part thereof, or of any interest therein, shall be valid or effective unless agreed to and accepted in writing by Lessor and no
act by Lessor or any representative or agent of Lessor, other than such a written acceptance by Lessor, shall constitute an acceptance of any such surrender. 
  
 27.15 No Merger of Title. There shall be no merger of this Lease or of the leasehold estate created hereby by reason of the fact that
the same person or entity may acquire, own or hold, directly or indirectly: (a) this Lease or the leasehold estate created hereby or any interest in this Lease or such leasehold estate and (b) the fee estate in the Leased Property. 
  
 27.16 Quiet Enjoyment. So long as Lessee pays all
Rent as the same becomes due and complies with all of the terms of this Lease and performs its obligations hereunder, in each case within the applicable grace periods, if any, Lessee shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Leased
Property for the Term hereof, free of any claim or other action by Lessor or anyone claiming by, through or under Lessor, but subject to all liens and encumbrances subject to which the Leased Property was conveyed to Lessor or hereafter consented to
by Lessee or provided for herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall have the right by separate and independent action to pursue any claim it may have against Lessor as a result of a breach by Lessor of the covenant of quiet enjoyment
contained in this Section. 
  
 27.17 Binding
Effect. The covenants, terms, conditions, provisions and undertakings in this Lease shall extend to and be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, executors, administrators and permitted successors and assigns of the
respective parties hereto. 
  
 27.18 Entire
Agreement; No Offer. This Lease contains the entire agreement of Lessor and Lessee with respect to the subject matter hereof, and no representations, warranties, inducements, promises or agreements, oral or otherwise, between the
parties not embodied in this Lease shall be of any force or effect. This Lease may be modified only by a written agreement executed by both parties with the same formalities as this Lease. All prior agreements or communications are and shall be
merged into this Lease and shall have no force or effect. 

  

 51 

 
Neither any submission of this Lease by one party to the other, nor any correspondence or other communications between the parties in connection therewith,
is intended or shall be deemed to constitute an offer of any kind or to create any obligations between the parties unless and until one or more duplicates of this Lease has been fully executed and delivered between the parties. Accordingly, any such
submission or communications or correspondence between the parties or their respective agents or attorneys is intended only as non-binding discussions, and either party shall have the absolute right to withdraw from such discussions without any
liability whatsoever to the other party. 
  
 27.19
Severability. If any clause or provision of this Lease is illegal, invalid or unenforceable under applicable present or future Laws effective during the Term, the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected. In lieu of
each clause or provision of this Lease which is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, there shall be added as a part of this Lease a clause or provision as nearly identical as may be possible and as may be legal, valid and enforceable. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event any clause or provision of this Lease is illegal, invalid or unenforceable as aforesaid and the effect of such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability is that Lessor no longer has the substantial benefit of its bargain
under this Lease, then, in such event, Lessor may in its discretion cancel and terminate this Lease upon providing at least ninety (90) days advance notice thereof to Lessee. 
  
 27.20 Counterparts. This Lease may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original, and all of such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 
  
 27.21 Governing Law. This lease and its interpretation, validity and performance shall be governed by the laws of the state in
which the Land is situate. In the event any court of law of appropriate judicial authority shall hold or declare that the law of another jurisdiction is applicable, this lease shall remain enforceable under the laws of the appropriate jurisdiction.
The parties hereto agree that venue for any action in connection herewith shall be proper in the state or federal courts in or having jurisdiction over the county where the Land is situated. Each party hereto consents to the jurisdiction of any
local, state or federal court situated in any of such locations and waives any objection which it may have pertaining to improper venue or forum non conveniens to the conduct of any proceeding in any such court. 
  
 27.22 Recitals; Headings. The recitals set forth
in this Lease are true and correct, and are incorporated herein by this reference. The use of headings, captions and numbers in this Lease is solely for the convenience of identifying and indexing the various paragraphs and shall in no event be
considered in construing or interpreting any provision in this Lease. 
  
 27.23 Survival. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, the provisions (including, without limitation, covenants, agreements, representations, warranties, obligations and liabilities
described therein) of this Lease which from their sense and context are intended to survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease shall survive such expiration or sooner termination of this Lease and continue to be binding upon the
applicable party. 
  

 52 

 27.24 Exhibits. The exhibits referred to in, and attached to, this Lease are
hereby incorporated in full by reference. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the exhibit or the body of this Lease, in the event of any conflict or inconsistency with the provisions contained in the body of this Lease and the exhibits, the
