ARTICLE 3
RENT

3.1 Rent. Tenant agrees to pay for use of the Leased Property during each Lease Year (or partial Lease Year, if applicable with respect to the first and last Lease Year), the rent (the “Base Rent”) equal to the sum of Fixed Rent and Percentage Rent, as each are calculated in accordance Schedule 3.1 attached hereto and made a part hereof.

(a) “Fixed Rent” shall have the meaning contained in Schedule 3.1.

(b) “Percentage Rent” shall have the meaning contained in Schedule 3.1.

(c) Tenant shall pay an amount equal to the Fixed Rent on the first (1^st) day of each calendar month during the Term (including the calendar month next succeeding the last month of the term hereof). Percentage Rent for each Lease Year shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the 15^th day following the end of each calendar quarter based upon a written statement, signed and certified by an officer of Tenant (an “Officer’s Certificate”) to be true and correct, setting forth the total amount of Tenant’s Gross Revenue made during the immediately preceding calendar quarter. In the event the Term begins and/or ends in the middle of a Lease Year, then to calculate Percentage Rent for the applicable partial Lease Year, the dollar thresholds set forth in Sections 3.1(b)(i) through (v) above shall be multiplied by a fraction equal to (i) the number of days in such Lease Year that fall within the Term divided by (ii) 365. If the annual Percentage Rent due and payable for any Lease Year (as shown in the applicable Officer’s Certificate) exceeds the amount actually paid as Percentage Rent by Tenant for such year, Tenant also shall pay such excess to Landlord at the time such Officer’s Certificate is delivered. If the Percentage Rent actually due and payable for such Lease Year is shown by such Officer’s Certificate to be less than the amount actually paid as Percentage Rent for the applicable Lease Year, Landlord shall reimburse such amount to Tenant or alternatively, at the Landlord’s option, credit such amount against subsequent months’ Base Rent.

(d) With respect to any applicable time period, “Gross Revenue” means all revenues and income of any kind derived from the use of rooms at the Hotel, including, without limitation, revenue derived from rooms and suites rented or leased for part of a day, a week, a month or longer, and all revenues and income of any kind derived from the sale of all food, liquor, soft drinks or other beverages at the Hotel, including mini-bars, and the sale, rental or use of kitchen facilities and services, conference facilities and services, meeting rooms, miscellaneous banquet income and service charges or audio/video equipment, and all revenues and income of any kind derived from minor operating departments income from the operations of the Hotel. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, revenue from guests who guaranteed their arrival but did not “show”, shall be included in Gross Revenue when collection is reasonably assured. The calculation of all types of revenue shall be determined on the accrual method of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied (“GAAP”) and shall include sales made on a cash basis or on credit, but shall exclude the following items:

(i) Federal, state and municipal excise taxes and sales taxes paid by customers in connection with goods, merchandise or services purchased by them to the extent that such taxes are separately levied, whether or not itemized on the customer’s xxxx or checks; and

(ii) Service charges or tips paid directly to employees if not separately itemized or if not included in package prices on the customer’s xxxx or checks; and

(iii) All applicable room, excise, sales and use taxes or similar government charges collected directly from guests of the Hotel; and

(iv) Revenues from the sale or financing of all or any part of the Leased Property, the operating inventory, or surplus items; and

(v) Except for proceeds under any business interruption policies, any insurance or condemnation proceeds related to the Leased Property.

(e) Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to allocate fairly (based on relative value) the Base Rent payments between the lease of the Hotel, on the one hand, and the lease of the Hotel Personalty, on the other hand.

3.2 Apportionments. In the event that Tenant receives any income or incurs any expenses attributable to the period prior to the Cut-Off Time, Tenant shall assign such items of income and expense to the designee of Landlord, and Landlord’s designee shall retain all such income and pay all such expenses attributable to this period. In the event that Landlord receives any income (or a credit therefor in connection with Landlord’s purchase of the Leased Property) or incurs any expense attributable to the period following the Cut-Off Time, and Tenant would have been entitled to such income or responsible for such expense had such income or expense been received or incurred directly by Tenant, Landlord shall assign such items of income and expense to Tenant, and Tenant shall retain such income and pay all such expense attributable to this period.

3.3 Additional Rent. All payments (whether or not specifically denoted as such) to be made by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Lease in addition to Base Rent shall constitute “Additional Rent”.

3.4 Late Charge. Any amount payable hereunder that shall not have been paid within ten (10) days after the date on which the same shall become due and payable shall bear interest at a rate equal to eighteen percent (18%) per annum, compounded monthly, but in no event in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.

3.5 Intentionally Omitted.

3.6 Personal Property Limitation.

(a) Anything contained in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, the amount of Hotel Personalty subject to this Lease shall be limited so that the rents attributed to Hotel Personalty shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the total rents from all property demised under this Lease determined at the time that the Hotel Personalty is placed in service (the “Personal Property Limitation”). “Hotel Personalty” is defined to include, without limitation, all property related to the Hotel that is not “real property” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.856-10. Landlord and Tenant shall at all times cooperate in good faith and use their best efforts to permit Landlord to comply with the Personal Property Limitation, which compliance may include, without limitation, the purchase by Tenant at fair market value of personal property used in the operation of the Hotel sufficient to permit compliance with the Personal Property Limitation set forth in this Section 3.6. All such compliance shall be effected in a manner that has no material net economic detriment to Tenant. This Section 3.6 is intended to ensure that the rents from personal property fall below the fifteen percent (15%) limitation of Section 856(d)(1) of the Code and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with such intent.

(b) If and to the extent the ownership of any portion of the Hotel Personalty would cause the Base Rent not to qualify as “rents from real property” for purposes of Section 856(d)(1) of the Code, or if deemed appropriate or desirable by Landlord, Tenant agrees that, upon request of Landlord, Tenant will acquire such of the Hotel Personalty at its fair market value as Landlord shall reasonably specify, and Landlord and Tenant agree to adjust the Base Rent (including any revenue breakpoints set forth in the Percentage Rent) to appropriately reflect such acquisition, and Landlord and Tenant agree to amend this Lease accordingly.

3.7 Sublease Rent Limitation. Anything contained in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant shall not sublet the Hotel or enter into any similar arrangement on any basis such that the rental or other amounts to be paid by the sublessee thereunder would be based, in whole or in part, on either (a) the net income or profits derived by the business activities of the sublessee, or (b) any other formula such that any portion of the Rent would fail to qualify as “rents from real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d)(1) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto.

3.8 No Commingling of Funds. Tenant shall not commingle monies received and held by Tenant from the possession and operation of the Leased Property with any other funds of Tenant or of any other Person.

3.9 Manager; Management.

(a) Pursuant to the Management Agreement, Manager has agreed to manage the Leased Property on the terms and conditions contained therein. Tenant shall (i) at all times comply with the terms and conditions contained in the Management Agreement, (ii) do all things necessary to preserve and keep unimpaired its material rights under the Management Agreement and (iii) notify Landlord in writing of any default, alleged default, or event which with notice or the passage of time would constitute a default under the Management Agreement, which default or event shall be and constitute a default hereunder.

(b) Tenant hereby covenants and agrees to promptly enforce the performance and observance of all of the material covenants and agreements required to be performed and/or observed by Manager under the Management Agreement and all of its rights and remedies under the Management Agreement against Manager.

(c) Tenant hereby covenants and agrees not to do any of the following without the prior written consent of Landlord: (i) surrender, terminate or cancel the Management Agreement, (ii) reduce or consent to the reduction of the term of the Management Agreement, (iii) increase or consent to the increase of the amount of any charges under the Management Agreement, or (iv) otherwise modify, change, supplement, alter or amend in any material adverse respect any of the provisions of the Management Agreement or any of Tenant’s rights and remedies under the Management Agreement.

(d) If Tenant receives any notice of or becomes aware of a violation or circumstances likely to result in a violation of the Management Agreement, Tenant shall promptly deliver to Landlord written notice of such violation or circumstances and, to the extent the same is the responsibility of Tenant under this Lease, take all remedial action necessary for compliance with the Management Agreement; provided that Tenant may contest any such violation if Landlord consents to such contest by Tenant, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If Tenant contests such violation, Tenant shall hold Landlord harmless from any loss, cost, damage or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, resulting from such contest, unless the contested violation resulted from an intentional act or omission in contravention of this Lease by Landlord, its agents or employees.

(e) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, within three (3) days after receipt of same by Tenant, copies of all written notices sent to Tenant by Manager relating to the Management Agreement.

(f) Landlord and Tenant agree to cooperate fully with each other in the event it becomes necessary to obtain an extension or modification of the Management Agreement or a new management agreement for the Leased Property.

(g) Tenant shall ensure that the Management Agreement (or any successor management agreement) obligates the Manager to provide information Landlord deems reasonably necessary to ensure that the Manager is an “eligible independent contractor” as such term is defined in Section 856(d)(9)(A) of the Code.

3.10 Books and Records. In addition to any other requirements set forth herein (including, without limitation, Sections 4.3(a) and 5.1), Tenant covenants that, for the purposes of ascertaining the amount payable to Landlord as Percentage Rent, Tenant shall keep books of account and other records in which full, true and correct entries will be made of all financial dealings and actions in relation to the business and affairs of the Hotel in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, and will preserve such records and books of account throughout the Term. All such books and records shall be maintained at the Leased Property or the principal business office of Tenant or Manager during the Term and, upon the Expiration Date, shall be delivered to Landlord, subject to Tenant’s continuing right to review such books and records and to make copies or extracts of the same. Landlord shall keep such books and records for five (5) years after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Landlord shall have access to such books and records during regular business hours during the Term and shall have the right, at its expense, to make copies or extracts thereof.

3.11 Rent without Setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, there shall be no deduction or setoff of any nature whatsoever from Rent payable under this Lease, by reason of (a) any damage to or destruction of the Leased Property or any portion thereof from whatever cause or any condemnation; (b) the lawful or unlawful prohibition of, or restriction upon, Tenant’s use of the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, unless caused by Landlord or unless the same is a breach of warranty or covenant by Landlord; (c) any claim that Tenant may have against Landlord by reason of any default or breach of any warranty by Landlord under this Lease or any other agreement between Landlord and Tenant, or to which Landlord and Tenant are parties; (d) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, winding up or other proceedings affecting Landlord or any assignee or transferee of Landlord; or (e) for any other cause whether similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease, Tenant hereby waives all rights arising from any occurrence whatsoever, which may now or hereafter be conferred upon it by law, to entitle Tenant to any abatement, reduction, suspension or deferment of the Rent or other sums payable or other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder.

Upon the termination of this Lease for any reason, (i) Landlord, or a purchaser of Landlord’s interest in the Leased Property, shall purchase all of the Hotel Personalty (including FF&E) owned by Tenant and all of the Operating Supplies owned by Tenant and used in connection with the Leased Property (if any) for an amount equal to the fair market value of such Hotel Personalty and Operating Supplies as of the date of termination, (ii) Tenant shall leave at the Hotel the Hotel Personalty and Operating Supplies not owned by Tenant (which shall be in a condition consistent with the Operational Standards), and (iii) Tenant shall assign the Assigned Items to Landlord. Tenant shall also reasonably cooperate for thirty (30) days with any successor tenant or owner of the Hotel upon the expiration or termination of this Lease to effect a smooth and efficient transition in the operation of the Hotel. Upon termination of this Lease and surrender of the Hotel by Tenant, Landlord shall either assume or cause to be assumed all of the Assigned Items and perform or otherwise cause to be performed all of Tenant’s obligations thereunder relating to any period after the Expiration Date.

8.5 Landlord’s Right to Cure. Tenant agrees that, if an Event of Default occurs, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, after the occurrence of the Event of Default, until the same has been cured, and after notice or demand to Tenant, without waiving or releasing Tenant from any of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, make any payment or perform such other act in whole or in part to the extent Landlord may deem desirable and, in connection therewith, to pay expenses and employ legal counsel. All sums paid by Landlord pursuant to this Section 8.5 and all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, paid in connection therewith, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate calculated from the date of payment by Landlord, shall be deemed to be Rent hereunder and shall be payable upon demand by Landlord, and Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies for the nonpayment thereof as in the case of default in the payment of Rent.

8.6 Tenant’s Bankruptcy or Insolvency. If Tenant shall be subjected to the provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code or other law of the United States or any state thereof for the protection of debtors as in effect at such time (each a “Debtor’s Law”), the debtor-in-possession and any trustee or receiver of Tenant’s assets (each a “Tenant’s Representative”) shall have no greater right to assume or assign this Lease or any interest in this Lease, or to sublease any of the Leased Property then accorded to Tenant by the specific provisions of this Lease, except to the extent Landlord shall be required to permit such assumption, assignment or sublease by the provisions of such Debtor’s Law. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, any right of any Tenant’s Representative to assume or assign this Lease or to sublease any of the Leased Property shall be subject to the conditions that:

(a) Such Debtor’s Law shall provide to Tenant’s Representative a right of assumption of this Lease which Tenant’s Representative shall have timely exercised and Tenant’s Representative shall have fully cured any default of Tenant under this Lease.

(b) Tenant’s Representative or the proposed assignee, as the case shall be, shall have deposited with Landlord as security for the timely payment of rent an amount equal to three (3) months’ Rent and other monetary charges accruing under this Lease, and shall have provided Landlord with adequate other assurance of the future performance of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease. Without limitation, such assurances shall include, at least, in the case of assumption of this Lease, demonstration to the satisfaction of Landlord that Tenant’s Representative has and will continue to have sufficient unencumbered assets after the payment of all secured obligations and administrative expenses to assure Landlord that Tenant’s Representative will have sufficient funds to fulfill the obligations of Tenant under this Lease.

(c) In the case of assignment, submission of current financial statements of the proposed assignee, audited by an independent certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to Landlord and showing a net worth and working capital in amounts determined by Landlord to be sufficient to assure the future performance by such assignee of all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.

(d) Any existing or proposed assumption or assignment of this Lease and any subleasing of any part or all of the Leased Property will not breach any provision of any other lease, mortgage, financing agreement or other agreement by which Landlord is bound.

8.7 Attorneys’ Fees. If at any time litigation is instituted between Landlord and Tenant with respect to this Lease, the prevailing party in such litigation may recover from the losing party all court costs, reasonable costs of litigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred or expended by the prevailing party in such action.

8.8 Remedies Cumulative. To the maximum extent permitted by law, each legal, equitable or contractual right, power and remedy of Landlord or Tenant, 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 Landlord or Tenant (as applicable) of any one or more of such rights, powers and remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or subsequent exercise by Landlord of any or all of such other rights, powers and remedies.

8.9 Liability for Tenant’s Obligations. Landlord covenants and agrees to look solely to Tenant (and not its Affiliates) for all obligations of Tenant under this Lease.

8.10 Default by Landlord. Landlord shall not be in default of any obligation of Landlord hereunder unless and until Landlord has failed to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of such failure from Tenant; provided, however, that in the event the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for complete performance, Landlord shall not be in default pursuant to this Section 8.10 if Landlord commences performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such performance to completion.

8.11 Holding Over. Tenant acknowledges that (a) Tenant’s complete vacancy and surrender of the Leased Property in strict compliance with Section 8.4 (and all other provisions of this Lease) on or before the Expiration Date or earlier termination may be critical to the sale by Landlord of the Leased Property, and (b) if Tenant or any Person occupying the Leased Property (or any part thereof) by or through Tenant holds over past the Expiration Date for any period of time, however brief, such holding over will compromise and deleteriously affect Landlord’s ability to timely conclude any sale of the Leased Property. In light of the foregoing, (i) Tenant and any Person occupying the Leased Property (or any part thereof) by or through Tenant shall not be permitted to hold over for any period of time beyond the Expiration Date for any reason or length of time, (ii) if Tenant (or any Person holding through Tenant) shall hold over for any period whatsoever, Tenant shall be a tenant at sufferance, subject to eviction without notice, and (iii) Tenant shall indemnify, defend (with legal counsel reasonably approved by Landlord), and hold Landlord harmless from all causes of action, claims, debts, liabilities, controversies, damages, costs, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) suffered or incurred by Landlord, including lost profits, by reason of Tenant’s failure (or the failure of any Person occupying all or any portion of the Leased Property under or through Tenant) to completely vacate and surrender the Leased Property on or before the Expiration Date in strict compliance with Section 8.4 and all other applicable provisions of this Lease.

ARTICLE 9
CASUALTY OR CONDEMNATION

9.1 Restoration. If, during the Term, the Hotel is damaged or destroyed by fire, casualty or other cause, Landlord shall, at its cost and expense and with all reasonable diligence, comply with the requirements of each Mortgage, as such document pertains to casualty and repair. If the Leased Property, or any material part thereof, shall be rendered untenantable by reason of such damage and such damage shall not be due to the fault of Tenant or of Persons Within Tenant’s Control, then the Base Rent hereunder, or an amount thereof apportioned according to the area of the Leased Property so rendered untenantable (if less than the entire Leased Property shall be so rendered untenantable), shall be abated for the period from the date of such damage to the date when the damage shall have been repaired as aforesaid. If all or any part of the Leased Property shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty such that the Hotel is closed and Landlord determines in its reasonable judgment that the damage cannot be fully restored within 365 days, then either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease by notice given to the other party not later than thirty (30) days after the determination by Landlord that the Leased Property cannot be restored within such time period. If this Lease is terminated pursuant to this Section 9.1, all insurance proceeds shall be paid to Landlord free of any claim or interest therein whatsoever of Tenant. If this Lease is not terminated as the result of any fire or other casualty, then, subject to the rights of the holder of each Mortgage, the proceeds of any casualty insurance or the equivalent thereof shall be used by Landlord to pay for the cost of restoration.

9.2 Condemnation. If, during the Term, all or any part of or interest in the Hotel is taken by any public authority under the power of eminent domain or by purchase in lieu thereof, Landlord shall, at its cost and expense and with all reasonable diligence, comply with the requirements of each Mortgage, as such document pertains to condemnation and restoration. If only a part of the Leased Property shall be so condemned or taken, then effective as of the date of vesting of title, the Base Rent and shall be abated in an amount apportioned according to the area of the Leased Property so condemned or taken. If all or any part of or interest in the Hotel is taken by any public authority under the power of eminent domain or by purchase in lieu thereof, such that the Hotel is closed and Landlord determines in its reasonable judgment that the Hotel cannot be reopened within 365 days, then either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease by notice given to the other party within thirty (30) days after possession of the Leased Property has been taken. If this Lease is terminated pursuant to this Section 9.2, then, subject to the rights of the holder of any applicable Mortgage, all awards and proceeds of condemnation shall be paid to Landlord free and clear of any claim or interest therein whatsoever of Tenant. Tenant shall have no claim against the condemning authority, whether for the value of its leasehold estate or otherwise.

ARTICLE 10
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

10.1 Assignment or Subletting. Tenant shall not assign, transfer, mortgage, hypothecate, or encumber, by operation of law or otherwise, this Lease, or any of Tenant’s interest herein or hereto, nor sublet the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, nor grant any license or right of use or occupancy with respect to the Leased Property, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion. In addition, Tenant shall not do any of the foregoing without the prior written consent of the holder of any Mortgage if and to the extent such consent is required by such Mortgage or related loan documents. Any consent shall be specifically conditioned upon Tenant’s compliance with all of the provisions of this Article 10. Any attempt to do otherwise shall be absolutely and unconditionally null and void and of no force or effect whatsoever.

10.2 Notice. If Tenant desires to undertake any such transaction, it shall provide Landlord with written notice of such desire, specifying the consideration for, and all other terms and conditions of such proposed transaction, and identifying the proposed assignee or subtenant (the “Proposed Party”). Tenant shall also provide Landlord with such corporate, financial, and insurance information as Landlord may reasonably request concerning the Proposed Party.

10.3 Continued Primary Liability. Notwithstanding any assignment, conveyance or subletting, permitted or otherwise, Tenant shall at all times remain directly, primarily and fully responsible and liable for the payment of the Rent and for compliance with all of its other obligations under the terms, provisions and covenants of this Lease.

10.4 Miscellaneous. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 10 to the contrary, in connection with any proposed assignment or subletting, (a) Tenant shall pay to Landlord all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord in connection with the transaction, (b) Tenant and its proposed party shall, within ten (10) days after notice to do so, execute and deliver to Landlord such documents, including insurance, and take such further action, as Landlord may reasonably require to effect such transaction or to protect Landlord’s rights, (c) the acceptance by Landlord of Rent from any other person other than Tenant shall not be deemed a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or a consent to any transaction subject to this Article 10, (d) the consent to any particular transaction shall not be deemed a consent to any other transaction subject to this Article 10, and (e) the consent to any assignment, subletting or other such transfer (or the consummation of any such transaction) shall not in any way relieve Tenant of any of its obligations under this Lease, whether arising before or after such consent.

ARTICLE 11
