In consideration of the payments and benefits pursuant to Paragraph 6(b) of the Employment Agreement, and other benefits, as described below (the “Benefits”), the Executive agrees that the Benefits constitute consideration for this agreement to which the Executive would not otherwise be entitled and are in lieu of any rights or claims that the Executive may have with respect to separation or severance benefits, or any other form of remuneration from the Company or any of its affiliates, and in consideration thereof, after the opportunity to consult legal counsel, the Executive hereby for himself, and his heirs, agents, executors, successors, assigns and administrators (collectively, “Related Parties”), forever releases, remises, and discharges, in all their capacities, the Company and all of its affiliates or subsidiaries, and any of their present or former directors, employees, fiduciaries, representatives, officers and agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Releasees”) individually and in their official capacities, of and from all covenants, obligations, liabilities and agreements, and forever waives all claims, rights and causes of action whatsoever, in law or in equity, whether known or unknown, asserted or unasserted, suspected or unsuspected, that the Executive or any Related Parties ever had, may have in the future or have now in connection with or arising from the Executive’s employment relationship with the Company or termination of the Executive’s employment relationship with the Company; including, without limitation, any claims, rights and causes of action under United States federal, state or local law, regulation or decision, and the national or local law (statutory or decisional) of any foreign country, including, without limitation, those under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, as amended 29 U.S.C. §§ 621 et. seq., the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, 29 U.S.C. § 626(f)(1), Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 12101-12213, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, the Fair Labor Standards Act, and any other similar or related law, regulation or decision relating to or dealing with discrimination including, without limitation, any claims, rights or causes of action for punitive damages, attorney’s fees, expenses and costs of litigation.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive and Related Parties do not release or waive any right or claim the Executive and Related Parties may have (i) to obtain post-employment payments and benefits, and exercise any rights, pursuant to (A) the Employment Agreement, (B) any plan referred to in the Employment Agreement, (C) any award granted under any such plan or otherwise, including but not limited to the equity awards described on Appendix C attached hereto (which the parties agree accurately reflects the number of awards, grant price, and revised vesting and expiration dates applicable in connection with the Executive’s termination of employment) or (D) the list of “Other Benefits” on Appendix B attached hereto (collectively, the “Termination Benefits”); (ii) under ERISA to obtain post-employment payments and benefits under any employee benefit plan (as defined in ERISA); (iii) for indemnification and advancement of fees and expenses under any agreement with or policy of the Company or its affiliates relating to indemnification and advancement of fees and expenses of directors or officers or under any provision of the Company’s articles or by-laws relating to indemnification of directors or officers; (iv) under any policy of directors’ or officers’ liability insurance; (v) that arises against the Company after the date of this Waiver and Release; and (vi) to obtain contribution as permitted by law in the event of entry of judgment against the Executive and the Company as a result of any act or failure to act for which the Executive and the Company are jointly liable.

 

  

  

  

 

The Executive’s employment with the Company and its subsidiaries shall terminate effective as of June 15, 2011 (the “Termination Date”) and the Executive shall no longer be a member of the Board of Directors of the Company or any of  its subsidiaries effective as of the Termination Date. The Executive consents to the Company’s public release of the statements in Appendix A. For the avoidance of doubt, the Termination Benefits referred to in clause (i) of the preceding paragraph shall consist solely of the payments and benefits described on Appendix B and Appendix C attached hereto.

 

The Executive represents that he has not filed, and will not hereafter file, any claim against the Company relating to his employment and/or cessation of employment with the Company, or otherwise involving facts that occurred on or prior to the date that Executive has signed this Waiver and Release except as permitted under paragraph 1 hereof.

 

The Executive understands and agrees that if Executive commences, continues, joins in, or in any other manner attempts to assert any claim released herein against the Company, or otherwise materially violates the terms of this Waiver and Release, the Executive will cease to have any further rights to the Benefits from the Company referred to in the first paragraph of this Waiver and Release.

 

In consideration for the Executive’s release and waiver of claims herein and other good and valuable consideration, the Company, on behalf of itself and the Releasees, forever releases, remises and discharges, in all their capacities, the Executive and the Related Parties, individually and in their official capacities, of and from all covenants, obligations, liabilities and agreements, and forever waives all claims, rights and causes of action whatsoever, in law or in equity, whether known or unknown, asserted or unasserted, suspected or unsuspected, that the Company or any of the Releasees ever had, may have in the future or have now in connection with or arising from the Executive’s employment relationship with the Company or termination of the Executive’s employment relationship with the Company; including, without limitation, any claims, rights and causes of action under United States federal, state or local law, regulation or decision, and the national or local law (statutory or decisional) of any foreign country.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and the Releasees do not release or waive (i) any right or claim that arises against the Executive after the date of this Waiver and Release, (ii) any claim against the Executive based on intentional misconduct, fraud, misappropriation or gross neglect or (iii) any right the Company and the Releasees may have to obtain contribution as permitted by law in the event of entry of judgment against the Executive and the Company as a result of any act or failure to act for which the Executive and the Company are jointly liable.

 

The Executive understands and agrees that the payments by the Company to the Executive of any Benefits and the signing of this Waiver and Release by the Executive do not in any way indicate that the Executive has any viable claims against the Company or that the Company admits any liability to the Executive whatsoever.

 

  

  

  

 

The Executive affirms that, prior to the execution of this Waiver and Release, the Executive was advised by an attorney of the Executive’s choice concerning the terms and conditions set forth herein, and that the Executive was given up to twenty-one (21) days to consider (notwithstanding the time lapsed, if any, during such twenty-one day period to review and revise) this Waiver and Release and its consequences.  The Executive has seven (7) days following the Executive’s signing of this Waiver and Release to revoke and cancel the terms and conditions contained herein, and the terms and conditions of this Waiver and Release shall not become effective or enforceable until such revocation period has expired.

 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Waiver and Release this 15 day of June, 2011.

2.01.        System and Incentive Management Fees

 

In lieu of the System Fee, the First Incentive Management Fee, and the Second Incentive Management Fee to be paid pursuant to Section 3.01 of each Management Agreement, the Managers of the Portfolio Properties and Tenant agree that such Managers shall be paid, collectively, the following management fees:

 

A.                                   The Aggregate System Fee; plus

The Aggregate First Incentive Management Fee and the Aggregate Second Incentive Management Fee shall be allocated among the Managers as the Managers shall determine in their sole discretion, and Tenant shall have no responsibility or liability in connection with any such allocation as determined by the Managers or the distribution thereof among the Managers.  If in any Portfolio Fiscal Year the amount of Aggregate Operating Profit is insufficient, after distributions higher in the priority of payments set forth in Section 2.02.A, to pay the full amount of the Aggregate First Incentive Management Fee or the Aggregate Second Incentive

Management Fee due for such Portfolio Fiscal Year, the amount paid shall be allocated among the Managers as the Managers shall determine in their sole discretion, and any portion of the Aggregate First Incentive Management Fee or the Aggregate Second Incentive Management Fee for such Portfolio Fiscal Year left unpaid shall be deemed waived and shall not accrue or be payable in any subsequent Portfolio Fiscal Year and in no event shall Tenant be liable for the payment of any unpaid portion to Managers.

 

2.02         Priorities for Distribution of Aggregate Operating Profit

 

A.            Aggregate Operating Profit shall be distributed, to the extent available, in the following order of priority (which distributions Marriott and the Managers are irrevocably authorized to pay):

 

(1)           First, to Tenant, in an amount equal to Aggregate Tenant’s Priority.

 

(2)           Second, pari passu, to (i) Tenant in an amount necessary to reimburse Tenant for all Tenant Advances made by Tenant which have not yet been repaid by distributions pursuant to this Section 2.02.A(2), and (ii) to Marriott, in an amount necessary to reimburse Marriott and/or any Affiliate for all Additional Marriott Advances and all Additional Manager Advances made by Marriott or any Affiliate from time to time which have not yet been repaid by distributions pursuant to this Section 2.02.A(2).  If at any time the amounts available for distribution to Tenant and Marriott and/or any Affiliate pursuant to this Section 2.02.A(2) (“Available Funds”) are insufficient (a) to repay to Tenant all outstanding Tenant Advances (the “Sum Due Tenant”), and (b) to repay to Marriott and/or any Affiliate all outstanding Additional Marriott Advances and Additional Manager Advances (the “Sum Due Marriott”), then (x) Tenant shall be paid from the Available Funds the amount obtained by multiplying a number equal to the amount of the Available Funds by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Sum Due Tenant and the denominator of which is a number equal to the sum of the Sum Due Tenant plus the Sum Due Marriott, and (y) Marriott shall be paid from the Available Funds the amount obtained by multiplying a number equal to the amount of the Available Funds by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Sum Due Marriott and the denominator of which is a number equal to the sum of the Sum Due Tenant plus the Sum Due Marriott.

 

(3)           Third, to the Managers, in an amount equal to the Aggregate First Incentive Management Fee.

 

(4)           Fourth, to Tenant, in an amount necessary for the Security Deposit Replenishment.

(6)           Finally, to Tenant, the balance, if any.

 

B.            For any Portfolio Accounting Period, pursuant to Section 4.03.A below, Tenant shall receive Aggregate Tenant’s Priority on or before the first day of each Portfolio Accounting

 

9

 

Period, subject, however, to the following terms of this Section 2.02.B.  If the projected Aggregate Operating Profit for the applicable Portfolio Accounting Period, as determined by Marriott and the Managers, is less than Aggregate Tenant’s Priority with respect to such Portfolio Accounting Period (an “Aggregate Tenant’s Priority Shortfall”), such Aggregate Tenant’s Priority Shortfall shall first be funded by Security Deposit Advances, and if the Security Deposit is depleted or otherwise insufficient to fund such Aggregate Tenant’s Priority Shortfall, then the amount of the Aggregate Tenant’s Priority Shortfall required to satisfy the Tenant’s Termination Threshold shall be funded by Marriott Guaranty Advances for so long as the Marriott Guaranty Agreement is in effect.  Any amount of the Aggregate Tenant’s Priority Shortfall not funded by Marriott shall accrue and be paid as provided in Section 3.01 hereof.  If Marriott elects not to fund up to the Tenant’s Termination Threshold as provided herein within ten (10) days of receiving written request from Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to effect a termination  of this Agreement and all (but not less than all) of the Management Agreements by written notice to Marriott, which termination shall be effective as of the effective date which is set forth in said notice; provided that said effective date shall be at least thirty (30) days after the date of such notice.  Such termination (i) shall be in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.11 of each Management Agreement, (ii) shall constitute a Manager Default under each Management Agreement, and (iii) shall entitle Tenant to all rights and remedies available to it with respect to Manager Defaults as provided for in Article IX of each Management Agreement.

 

C.            The parties acknowledge that, as of the Effective Date, the balance of the Security Deposit is Eighteen Million Three Hundred Ninety-One Thousand Eight Hundred Two and 95/100 Dollars ($18,391,802.95).  During the term of this Agreement, Tenant shall not make any payment from the Security Deposit, or otherwise reduce the balance of the Security Deposit, except in connection with a Security Deposit Advance made pursuant to Section 2.02.B above or otherwise as permitted by the Security Deposit Agreement.

 

ARTICLE III

ACCOUNTING; INTERIM DISTRIBUTIONS; ANNUAL ADJUSTMENTS

 

3.01         Portfolio Accounting Periods; Statements; Distributions

 

Within twenty (20) days after the close of each Portfolio Accounting Period, Marriott shall deliver an interim accounting (the “Aggregate Accounting Period Statement”) to Tenant showing Aggregate Gross Revenues, Aggregate Deductions, Aggregate Operating Profit, and applications and distributions thereof for the preceding Portfolio Accounting Period.  Notwithstanding the order of distribution of Aggregate Operating Profit set forth in Section 2.02.A, for each Portfolio Accounting Period, Marriott shall, with each such accounting, transfer to Tenant any interim amounts due Tenant hereunder, transfer to the Managers any interim amounts due the Managers, and retain any interim amounts due to Marriott under Section 2.02.A.  In addition, each Manager shall provide Tenant with interim accountings pursuant to the applicable Management Agreement on an Accounting Period basis for each Portfolio Property that it manages as if the applicable Portfolio Property were not a participant in this Agreement.  If the portion of Aggregate Operating Profit to be distributed to Tenant pursuant to Sections 2.02.A(1), (2) or (4) is insufficient to pay each of such interim amounts then due in full following the end of any Portfolio Accounting Period, any such interim amounts left unpaid shall be paid

 

10

 

from and to the extent of Aggregate Operating Profit available therefor at the time distributions are made following successive Portfolio Accounting Periods until such interim amounts are paid in full, and such payments shall be made from such Aggregate Operating Profit in the same order of priority as other payments made on account of such item in such following Portfolio Accounting Periods.  If the portion of Aggregate Operating Profit to be distributed to Marriott or the Managers pursuant to Section 2.02.A(2), (3) or (5) is insufficient to pay each of such interim amounts then due in full following the end of any Portfolio Accounting Period, any such interim amounts left unpaid shall be paid from and to the extent of Aggregate Operating Profit available therefor at the time distributions are made following successive Portfolio Accounting Periods until such interim amounts are paid in full, and such payments shall be made from such Aggregate Operating Profit in the same order of priority as other payments made on account of such item in such following Portfolio Accounting Periods.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if, in any Portfolio Fiscal Year, the Aggregate First Incentive Management Fee or the Aggregate Second Incentive Management Fee is not payable under Section 2.02.A hereof, the Managers shall not be entitled to the payment of the portion of the Aggregate First Incentive Management Fee or the Aggregate Second Incentive Management Fee not payable under Section 2.02.A hereof, and in no event shall Tenant be liable for the payment of such portion of the Aggregate First Incentive Management Fee or the Aggregate Second Incentive Management Fee.  The portion of Aggregate Operating Profit to be distributed to Tenant as Aggregate Tenant’s Priority and as a Security Deposit Replenishment pursuant to Section 2.02.A for the then current Portfolio Fiscal Year, as well as the portion of Aggregate Operating Profit to be distributed to the Managers as their interim Aggregate First Incentive Management Fee and Second Incentive Management Fee pursuant to Section 2.02.A shall be determined by applying a cumulative prorated amount to such Aggregate Tenant’s Priority, Aggregate First Incentive Management Fee, Security Deposit Replenishment and Aggregate Second Incentive Management Fee (calculated on a year-to-date basis, with the prorated amount being one-thirteenth (1/13) of the total amount for each of such items with respect to each of the Portfolio Properties, for each Portfolio Accounting Period of each Portfolio Fiscal Year) to the year-to-date cumulative Aggregate Operating Profit (all such portions being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Prorated Portions”).  In each Portfolio Accounting Period after the first Portfolio Accounting Period of a Portfolio Fiscal Year, inclusive, the Prorated Portions shall be adjusted to reflect distributions, in each instance, to Tenant and the Managers and retention by Marriott of Aggregate Operating Profit with respect to such Prorated Portions for prior Portfolio Accounting Periods during the then current Portfolio Fiscal Year.  All distributions shall be made in the order of priority as set forth in Section 2.02.A.

 

3.02         Annual Accounting Statements and Cash Adjustments

 

A.            Calculations and payments of the Aggregate First Incentive Management Fee, the Aggregate Second Incentive Management Fee, Aggregate Tenant’s Priority, and distributions of Aggregate Operating Profit made with respect to each Portfolio Accounting Period within a Portfolio Fiscal Year shall be accounted for cumulatively within a Portfolio Fiscal Year, but shall not be cumulative from one Portfolio Fiscal Year to the next.  Calculations and payments of Reimbursable Advances and the Security Deposit Replenishment shall be accounted for cumulatively within a Portfolio Fiscal Year, and shall be cumulative from one Portfolio Fiscal Year to the next.  Within sixty (60) days after the end of each Portfolio Fiscal Year, Marriott and

 

11

 

the Managers shall deliver to Tenant a statement (the “Aggregate Annual Operating Statement”) in reasonable detail summarizing the operations of the Portfolio Properties for the immediately preceding Portfolio Fiscal Year, and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Aggregate Annual Operating Statement is true and correct.  Marriott, the Managers and Tenant shall, within ten (10) Business Days after Tenant’s receipt of such Aggregate Annual Operating Statement, make any adjustments, by cash payment, in the amounts paid or retained for such Portfolio Fiscal Year as are needed because of the final figures set forth in such Aggregate Annual Operating Statement.  Such final accounting shall be controlling over the interim accountings and shall be final subject to adjustments required as a result of an audit requested by Landlord or Tenant pursuant to each Management Agreement.  No adjustment shall be made for any Aggregate Operating Loss or Aggregate Operating Profit in a preceding or subsequent Portfolio Fiscal Year.  Each Manager shall provide Tenant with interim and annual statements pursuant to the applicable Management Agreement for each Portfolio Property that it manages as if the applicable Portfolio Property were not a participant in this Agreement.

 

B.            In addition, on or before April 30 of each Portfolio Fiscal Year, commencing on April 30, 2012, the Marriott and the Managers shall deliver to Tenant and Landlord an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the totals of Aggregate Gross Revenue, Aggregate Deductions, the calculation of Aggregate Tenant’s Priority and Security Deposit Replenishments for the Properties which were Portfolio Properties with respect to which this Agreement was in effect for the preceding Portfolio Fiscal Year, subject to the audit rights of Tenant as set forth in each Management Agreement.

 

3.03         Aggregate Operating Loss

 

To the extent there is an Aggregate Operating Loss for any Portfolio Accounting Period, Tenant shall have the right, without any obligation and in its sole and absolute discretion, to advance funds required to fund such Aggregate Operating Loss within twenty (20) days after Marriott has delivered written notice thereof to Tenant.  Any Aggregate Operating Loss so funded by Tenant shall constitute a “Tenant Aggregate Operating Loss Advance.”  If Tenant does not fund such Aggregate Operating Loss, Marriott shall also have the right, within twenty (20) days after such initial twenty (20) day period, without any obligation and in its sole and absolute discretion, to advance funds required to fund such Aggregate Operating Loss, and any such advance shall constitute an Additional Marriott Advance.  Tenant Aggregate Operating Loss Advances shall be repaid in accordance with Section 2.02.A(2) hereof, and Additional Marriott Advances shall be repaid in accordance with Section 2.02.A(2) hereof.  If neither party elects to advance funds required to fund such Aggregate Operating Loss as provided for herein, the parties will have the rights set forth in Section 4.01.E of each Management Agreement for such Portfolio Properties (which right may be exercised as to all, but not less than all, of such Portfolio Properties).

 

12

 

ARTICLE IV

4.01         Accounts

 

All funds derived from operation of the Portfolio Properties shall be deposited in one or more bank accounts designated by Marriott, which accounts may be commingled accounts containing other funds owned by or managed by Marriott.  The Pooled Reserve shall be held in an interest bearing escrow reserve account in a bank or similar institution designated by Manager and reasonably acceptable to Tenant and Landlord, and the Pooled Reserve shall not be commingled with any other funds.  Withdrawals from said accounts shall be made solely by representatives of Marriott whose signatures have been authorized.  Reasonable petty cash funds shall be maintained at the Portfolio Properties.

 

4.02                           Expenditures and Payments

 

A.            Marriott, on behalf of and in coordination with the Managers pursuant to their obligations under the Management Agreements, and in each instance subject to the provisions of this Agreement, shall make expenditures, to the extent of the sufficiency of funds available therefor pursuant to this Agreement, for all Aggregate Deductions, and then, to reimburse Marriott or any Affiliate for expenditures to the extent such expenditures have constituted a Manager Reserve Advance pursuant to any of the Management Agreements.  Payments made to reimburse Marriott or any Affiliate for expenditures to the extent that such expenditures have constituted a Manager Reserve Advance shall be deducted from Aggregate Operating Profit prior to any other deduction or distribution therefrom except for distributions of Aggregate Tenant’s Priority.

 

B.            Tenant irrevocably directs Marriott to pay and Marriott agrees to pay (or repay, as applicable), from Aggregate Operating Profit, without notice, demand or request therefor, but in each instance subject to the provisions of this Agreement: (i) Aggregate Tenant’s Priority, to Tenant when due and payable hereunder, to the extent of the sufficiency of Aggregate Operating Profit therefor, (ii) distributions to Tenant, Marriott and/or the Managers with respect to the Tenant Advances, Additional Marriott Advances and Additional Manager Advances, (iii) distributions to the Managers with respect to the Aggregate First Incentive Management Fee, (iv) distributions to Tenant to replenish any Security Deposit Advances, (v) distributions to the Managers with respect to the Aggregate Second Incentive Management Fee, and (vi) distributions to Tenant of the remaining balance, if any, in each of the foregoing instances set forth in this Section 4.02.B(i) through (vi), at the time interim distributions are made pursuant to Section 3.01, and to the extent of the sufficiency of and in the order of distribution of Aggregate Operating Profit pursuant to Section 2.02.A.

A.            The parties acknowledge that Tenant, to ensure that Tenant has sufficient funds to timely pay Minimum Rent due pursuant to the Lease, must receive, and Marriott agrees to pay to

 

13

 

Tenant subject to the sufficiency of funds available therefor pursuant to this Agreement, the Security Deposit Agreement and the Marriott Guaranty Agreement (in each case subject to the terms and provisions of such agreements) and in accordance with Section 2.02.B hereinabove, Aggregate Tenant’s Priority on or before the first day of each Portfolio Accounting Period.  As a result, it is possible that Marriott will pay Aggregate Tenant’s Priority prior to determining whether Aggregate Operating Profit for such Portfolio Accounting Period was adequate to cover such Aggregate Tenant’s Priority.  If for any given Portfolio Accounting Period it is determined that Aggregate Operating Profit was inadequate to cover any such payments of Aggregate Tenant’s Priority made by Marriott with respect to such Portfolio Accounting Period, then one of the following shall be applicable:

 

1.                                       if the Guaranty Term had not expired before the first day of such Portfolio Accounting Period and Marriott’s obligation to advance funds had not terminated for any other reason pursuant to the terms of the Marriott Guaranty Agreement (an expiration or termination as aforesaid, hereinafter, a “Guaranty Termination Event”), then (a) that portion of Aggregate Tenant’s Priority paid with respect to such Portfolio Accounting Period up to the amount of Tenant’s Termination Threshold with respect to such Portfolio Accounting Period, not otherwise funded or required to be funded by a Security Deposit Advance, shall be deemed to be a Marriott Guaranty Advance made pursuant to the Marriott Guaranty Agreement, and (b) the remaining portion of Aggregate Tenant’s Priority paid with respect to such Portfolio Accounting Period in excess of Tenant’s Termination Threshold may be deducted by Marriott from any payment of Aggregate Tenant’s Priority to be made with respect to any successive Portfolio Accounting Period until reimbursed to Marriott; or

 

2.                                       if a Guaranty Termination Event had occurred prior to the first day of such Portfolio Accounting Period, then that portion of Aggregate Tenant’s Priority paid with respect to such Portfolio Accounting Period in excess of the amount of Aggregate Operating Profit for such Portfolio Accounting Period, not otherwise funded or required to be funded by a Security Deposit Advance, shall be, at Marriott’s option, (a) deemed to have been funded by Marriott as an Additional Marriott Advance, up to the amount of Tenant’s Termination Threshold, with any amount paid in excess of Tenant’s Termination Threshold to be deducted by Marriott from any payment of Aggregate Tenant’s Priority to be made with respect to any successive Portfolio Accounting Period until reimbursed to Marriott, or (b) deducted by Marriott from any payment of Aggregate Tenant’s Priority to be made with respect to any successive Portfolio Accounting Period until reimbursed to Marriott.

 

No provision of this Section 4.03.A shall be construed to require Marriott to make payments of Aggregate Tenant’s Priority except from Aggregate Operating Profit or, if the Security Deposit is depleted or otherwise insufficient, then from Marriott Guaranty Advances (for payments up to Tenant’s Termination Threshold) available therefor.

 

14

 

B.            Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, within twenty (20) days after the end of each Portfolio Accounting Period, Marriott shall determine whether it is deemed to have made an Additional Marriott Advance or a Marriott Guaranty Advance (pursuant to the terms of the Marriott Guaranty Agreement) with respect to such Portfolio Accounting Period, and if Marriott has made such an advance with respect to such Portfolio Accounting Period, Marriott shall advise Tenant in writing of the type and amount of such advance (each such notice, an “Advance Notice”), and the balance of the Aggregate Amount Funded shall be deemed increased by the amount of any Marriott Guaranty Advance.  Tenant may, in its sole discretion, elect immediately to repay any such advance.  This paragraph shall only be applicable with respect to advances made or deemed made pursuant to this Section 4.03.

 

C.            Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Landlord or Tenant fail timely to fund the cost of the Renovations to the Portfolio Properties in accordance with the Renovation-Related Agreements, and such failure continues for a period of ten (10) days following receipt of Marriott’s written request for the same to Landlord and Tenant, then (i) such failure shall constitute a Guaranty Termination Event, and (ii) any and all Marriott Guaranty Advances made prior to the date thereof, less any amounts previously paid to the Managers prior to the date thereof in respect of the Aggregate First Incentive Management Fee pursuant to Section 2.02.A(3) hereof, shall be immediately due and payable by Landlord and Tenant (and/or by HPT pursuant to the HPT Guaranty) to Marriott.

 

4.04         Financial Statements.  Marriott shall furnish the following statements to Tenant:

 

A.            In the event the same shall no longer be required to be made public, within forty-five (45) days after each of the first three fiscal quarters of any Portfolio Fiscal Year, the most recent Consolidated Financials.

 

B.            In the event the same shall no longer be required to be made public, within ninety (90) days after the end of each Portfolio Fiscal Year, the most recent Consolidated Financials for such year, certified by an independent certified public accountant.

 

C.            Promptly after the sending or filing thereof, but only to the extent not otherwise publicly available, copies of all reports which Marriott sends to its security holders generally, and copies of all periodic reports which Marriott files with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or any stock exchange on which its shares are listed or traded.

 

ARTICLE V

POOLING OF WORKING CAPITAL AND RESERVES

 

5.01                           Pooling of Working Capital

 

A.            The Working Capital applicable to all Portfolio Properties pursuant to the Management Agreements shall be pooled and used by Marriott for the purposes set forth in Section 4.02.A hereof pursuant to the Managers’ cash-management policies (the “Pooled Working Capital”).  Upon any Manager Deconsolidation Event as to one or more but less than all of the Portfolio Properties, Pooled Working Capital shall be allocated as described in Section

 

15

 

6.02.B; provided, however, that any allocation of Pooled Working Capital following the sale (or deemed sale) of an Exit Hotel shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Exit Hotel Agreement.  Upon the expiration or termination of all Management Agreements for all Portfolio Properties, Tenant shall, except as otherwise provided in the Management Agreements or this Agreement, receive any unused Pooled Working Capital.

 

B.            Tenant shall have the right, without any obligation and in its sole and absolute discretion, within ten (10) Business Days after written request therefor, to advance funds necessary to maintain Pooled Working Capital at a level determined by Marriott to be reasonably necessary to satisfy the needs of the Portfolio Properties as their operation may from time to time require.  Any such request by Marriott shall be accompanied by a reasonably detailed explanation of the reasons for this request.  All funds so advanced shall be added to Pooled Working Capital.  All advances made by Tenant pursuant to this Section 5.01.B shall constitute “Tenant Working Capital Advances.”  Tenant Working Capital Advances shall be repaid in accordance with Section 2.02.A(2).  Additionally, if Tenant does not elect to provide such additional funds, Marriott shall also have the right, without any obligation and in its sole and absolute discretion, within ten (10) Business Days after such initial ten (10) Business Day period, to advance such additional funds as Tenant elected not to advance, and any such advance shall constitute an Additional Marriott Advance.  Additional Marriott Advances shall be repaid in accordance with Section 2.02.A(2).  If neither party elects to advance funds as contemplated in this Section 5.01.B, the parties will have the rights set forth in Section 4.05.A of each Management Agreement for such Portfolio Properties (which right may be exercised as to all, but not less than all, of such Portfolio Properties).

 

5.02                           Pooling of Reserves

 

All deposits required to be made to the Reserves pursuant to the Management Agreements with respect to the Portfolio Properties shall instead be pooled into one account to be used for the purposes set forth in the Management Agreements for the Portfolio Properties on a pooled basis (the “Pooled Reserve”). The funds in the Pooled Reserve shall be available for all Portfolio Properties regardless of the amount of funds that would otherwise be held in a Reserve for a particular Portfolio Property if the Reserves were separately maintained.  Upon any Manager Deconsolidation Event as to one or more but less than all of the Portfolio Properties, the Pooled Reserve shall be allocated as described in Section 6.02.B; provided, however, that any allocation of the Pooled Reserves following the sale (or deemed sale) of an Exit Hotel shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Exit Hotel Agreement.  Upon the expiration or termination of all Management Agreements for all Portfolio Properties, Marriott shall, except as otherwise provided in the Management Agreements or this Agreement, release and transfer to Landlord or (if directed by Landlord) to Tenant the remaining Pooled Reserve funds after payment of all expenses that are to be paid out of the Reserves pursuant to the Management Agreements relating to periods prior to such expiration or termination.

ARTICLE VI

REMOVAL OF PROPERTIES AS PORTFOLIO PROPERTIES

 

6.01         Intentionally Deleted.

 

6.02                           Removal of Properties as Portfolio Properties

 

Each of the following shall be, with respect to any Portfolio Property, and subject to the immediately succeeding paragraph, a “Deconsolidation Event”:  (i) if any Portfolio Property (other than an Exit Hotel sold (or deemed sold) in accordance with the terms of the Exit Hotel Agreement) ceases to be owned by Landlord as of the date hereof, or any Affiliate thereof or of HPT, which for the purposes hereof, shall include a transfer of a Controlling Interest in Landlord if following such transfer, Landlord is not owned or controlled by HPT or an Affiliate of HPT (a “Landlord Deconsolidation Event”); (ii) if any Portfolio Property (other than an Exit Hotel sold (or deemed sold) in accordance with the terms of the Exit Hotel Agreement) ceases to be leased by Tenant, or any Affiliate thereof or of HPT, which for the purposes hereof, shall include a transfer of a Controlling Interest in Tenant other than to HPT or an Affiliate of HPT (a “Tenant Deconsolidation Event”); or (iii) if the applicable Management Agreement is terminated with respect to such Portfolio Property, and the same does not otherwise result in the execution of a “New Management Agreement” under the applicable Owner Agreement (other than with respect to an Exit Hotel sold (or deemed sold) in accordance with the terms of the Exit Hotel Agreement)  (a “Manager Deconsolidation Event”).  Except as expressly set forth herein, no provision of this Agreement shall be construed as modifying the terms of the Lease or any Management Agreement, Franchise Agreement or Owner Agreement with respect to transfer of any interest of any part therein.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, or anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Portfolio Agreement, except with respect to a total condemnation of any Property, (1) no Landlord Deconsolidation Event shall or can occur prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement; (2) no Tenant Deconsolidation Event shall or can occur prior to the completion of the Renovations pursuant to the Renovation-Related Agreements; and (3) following the completion of the Renovations pursuant to the Renovation-Related Agreements, Tenant may consummate a Tenant Deconsolidation Event with respect to all (but not less than all) of the Portfolio Properties subject to this Agreement at the time of such Tenant Deconsolidation Event, at no cost to Marriott or the Managers, provided that (a) Landlord or an Affiliate thereof or HPT shall continue to own the Portfolio Properties, (b) the permitted purchaser must meet and comply with the requirements of Section 10.02 of the Management Agreements and those set forth in the Lease, and (c) Landlord, Tenant and the permitted purchaser shall execute and deliver such documents as Marriott and the Managers may reasonably require, including any documents required under the Owner Agreement, to reflect such assignment or transfer and the continued applicability of the Portfolio Agreements with respect to the Portfolio Properties.

 

A.            From and after the date of a Manager Deconsolidation Event with respect to any particular Portfolio Property, such Property shall no longer be treated as a Portfolio Property pursuant to this Agreement.  If the Manager Deconsolidation Event occurs on a day other than the last day of a Portfolio Accounting Period, the parties shall exclude such prorated amounts of

 

17

 

the Gross Revenues and Deductions (and other amounts as may be necessary) applicable to such Property for the period following the Manager Deconsolidation Event, as are appropriate in their reasonable judgment, in the calculation of Aggregate Gross Revenues and Aggregate Deductions (and other amounts as may be necessary) for the Portfolio Accounting Period in which the Manager Deconsolidation Event occurred.  Additionally, the parties shall make such prorations, adjustments, allocations, and changes pursuant to the Allocation Formula set forth in Section 6.02.C hereof to reflect the removal of such Property from being subject to this Agreement, including, without limitation, to allocate to such Property its continuing liability with respect to any outstanding Additional Marriott Advances, any outstanding Additional Manager Advances, any outstanding Security Deposit Advances remaining to be replenished, and any outstanding Tenant Advances.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the applicable Manager will not continue to manage the Property being removed pursuant to the Management Agreement applicable to such Property, then (a) Tenant shall require that any successor manager enter into a cash management agreement to which the applicable Manager and Marriott are each a party which provides for assurances that the Operating Profit for such Hotel is applied to repay amounts due to the applicable Manager and Marriott in accordance with Section 3.02.B of the Management Agreement with respect to the Hotel, as the applicable Manager and Marriott may reasonably require, or (b) HPT shall provide (and Tenant shall cause HPT to so provide) a written guaranty that the Operating Profit for such Hotel shall be applied to repay amounts due to the applicable Manager and Marriott in accordance with Section 3.02.B of the Management Agreement with respect to each such Hotel which Manager will no longer continue to manage.  Additionally, in the case of a Manager Deconsolidation Event, Tenant and the applicable Manager, both acting reasonably, shall determine the portion of (1) the Pooled Working Capital allocable to the Property being removed from this Agreement and the amount of the Pooled Working Capital so allocated shall be remitted to the parties entitled to the same pursuant to the applicable Management Agreement, the Owner Agreement and this Agreement, and (2) the Pooled Reserve allocable to the Property being removed from this Agreement and the amount of the Pooled Reserve so allocated shall, after payment of all amounts properly payable therefrom pursuant to the Management Agreement and this Agreement: (i) if the Property which is the subject of such Manager Deconsolidation Event shall remain subject to the Lease, be made available to Tenant to allow Tenant to fulfill its obligations under the Lease, and (ii) otherwise, be delivered to Landlord.  In determining the portion of the Pooled Reserve allocable to such Property, the parties shall take into account whether and when such Property and the Portfolio Properties have each undergone a substantial soft-goods or case-goods replacement.

 

C.            The “Allocation Formula” shall be to multiply the amount in question by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Operating Profit for the Property with respect to which a Manager Deconsolidation Event has occurred for the preceding thirteen (13) full Portfolio Accounting Periods, and the denominator of which is the Aggregate Operating Profit for all Portfolio Properties for the same period.

 

D.            From and after the date of a Tenant Deconsolidation Event as permitted hereinabove (that is not also a Manager Deconsolidation Event) with respect to the Portfolio Properties, such Portfolio Properties shall continue to be subject to the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement and of the other Portfolio Agreements.  In connection with any permitted Tenant Deconsolidation Event, Landlord, Tenant and the permitted successor to Tenant shall execute and deliver such documents as Marriott and the Managers may reasonably

 

18

 

require to confirm and reflect such Tenant Deconsolidation Event and the continued applicability of this Agreement and the other Portfolio Agreements with respect to the Portfolio Properties.

7.04         Waiver of Jury Trial.

7.06         Severability

7.10         Remedies

 

No remedy herein conferred upon a party hereto is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.

 

7.11         Due Authorization

7.16         Termination of Tenant Liability.  Upon expiration of the entire term of each Management Agreement  and expiration of the entire term of the Lease (in each instance including with respect to any exercised renewals), and provided that such expiration did not result from a default by Tenant under any Management Agreement, Tenant shall have no further liability for repayment of Additional Marriott Advances made pursuant to this Agreement.

 

21

 

7.17         Default.  It shall be a default by any party hereto if such party fails to perform any obligation hereunder within eight (8) Business Days after receipt of written notice from a non-defaulting party demanding such cure, or, if such default is susceptible of cure, but such cure cannot be accomplished within said eight (8) Business Day period of time, if the defaulting party fails to commence the cure of such default within such eight (8) Business Day period of such notice or thereafter fails to diligently pursue such cure to completion.

 

7.18         NONLIABILITY OF OFFICERS, ETC.  NO TRUSTEE, OFFICER, SHAREHOLDER OR AGENT OF MARRIOTT, ANY MANAGER OR TENANT SHALL BE HELD TO ANY PERSONAL LIABILITY, JOINTLY OR SEVERALLY, FOR ANY OBLIGATION OF, OR CLAIM AGAINST, MARRIOTT, ANY MANAGER OR TENANT.  ALL PERSONS DEALING WITH MARRIOTT, ANY MANAGER OR TENANT, IN ANY WAY, SHALL LOOK ONLY TO THE ASSETS OF MARRIOTT, THE APPLICABLE MANAGER OR TENANT, AS THE CASE MAY BE, FOR THE PAYMENT OF ANY SUM OR THE PERFORMANCE OF ANY OBLIGATION HEREUNDER.

 

7.19         Single Agreement; Integration.

 

A.            It is expressly acknowledged and agreed by each of Marriott, the Managers, Landlord and Tenant that the underlying terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Marriott Guaranty Agreement, the Management Agreements, the Franchise Agreements and each and every other document and agreement entered into in connection herewith or therewith and/or contemplated hereby or thereby (collectively, the “Deal Terms”) have been negotiated by the parties as a single integrated transaction.  The fact that there exists separate Management Agreements for the different hotel brands is merely a matter of convenience to Marriott and the Managers to reflect their existing internal corporate organization.  The purpose of this Agreement and the intent of the parties hereto is that the Portfolio Properties at all times constitute a single pool and a portfolio.  The purpose of this Agreement is that the Portfolio Properties constitute a single pool and the Deal Terms have been established with that purpose.  The aggregation and integration of the Portfolio Properties into a single pool and portfolio is a material inducement to Landlord and Tenant to agree to the Deal Terms and an underiding principle of the Deal Terms.

 

(B)           The Managers acknowledge and agree that a fundamental and material purpose of this Agreement is to integrate the Portfolio Properties and Deal Terms as one and to invalidate the right of any Manager to reject any Management Agreement or this Agreement as to a particular Portfolio Property (and not to all Portfolio Properties) in the event of a bankruptcy of such Manager.  Accordingly, each Manager hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any right to terminate this Agreement or reject any of the Deal Terms, whether pursuant to the Title 11 of the U.S. Code or any other similar insolvency or state bankruptcy laws.

 

22

 

7.20                  Special Termination Right.

 

The parties acknowledge and agree that if, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.19.B any Manager terminates any Management Agreement or this Agreement in connection with such Manager’s reorganization, recapitalization or bankruptcy, Tenant shall have the right to terminate each remaining Management Agreement and Franchise Agreement (without any termination fee or penalty) by giving written notice thereof to Marriott and the Managers, in which event, all Management Agreements and Franchise Agreements shall terminate on the later to occur of the date set forth in such notice and thirty (30) days after the giving thereof.
