HOTEL MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

THIS HOTEL MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into on this 1^st day of February, 2017 (the “Commencement Date”), between JUSTICE OPERATING COMPANY LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Owner”) and INTERSTATE MANAGEMENT COMPANY, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Operator”).

RECITALS

A. Owner is the owner of the hotel known as the Hilton San Francisco Financial District located at 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000 (the “Hotel”); and

B. Owner and Operator desire to evidence their agreement with respect to the operation, direction, management, and supervision of the Hotel as more particularly set forth below.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises, and other good and valuable consideration, Owner and Operator agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE HOTEL

1.1. Owner and Operator acknowledge that the Hotel consists of and contains the Building, together with the parcel of land on which the Building is located, the Installations, the FF&E, the Operating Equipment, the Operating Supplies and fitness facilities and any parking areas or other facilities located on such land, including, without limitation, the Chinese Cultural Center premises, and the spa premises. Operator and Owner agree that while the operation and management of any parking areas will be included in the definition of the Hotel and therefore shall be managed by Operator pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Owner hereby reserves the right to have all or any portion of such parking areas managed by any person or entity other than Operator (the “Owner Parking Facility Rights”) and as result thereof such parking areas shall no longer be included as part of the Hotel for purposes of Operator’s management thereof. In addition, Operator agrees that Owner shall have the right to repurpose various portions of the Hotel at any time during the Operating Term.

ARTICLE II

OPERATING TERM

2.1. This Agreement shall have an initial term commencing on the Takeover Date and expiring on the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Takeover Date (the “Initial Term”), unless sooner terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or unless extended as provided by the terms of this Agreement or as otherwise provided by the written agreement of Owner and Operator. This Agreement shall automatically renew for the applicable Renewal Term unless either party gives the other party written notice of termination no less than ninety (90) days before the end of the Initial Term or the then applicable Renewal Term (such date, the “Renewal Termination Date”); provided that no such renewal shall be effective if an Operator Event of Default is ongoing on either the Renewal Termination Date or the commencement date of any such Renewal Term.

ARTICLE III

APPOINTMENT AND ENGAGEMENT OF OPERATOR

3.1. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Owner hereby engages Operator as its agent and exclusive operator of the Hotel during the Operating Term and Operator hereby accepts such engagement.

3.2. Subject to (a) Operator being provided with sufficient funds in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (b) the terms of the then applicable Approved Annual Plan, Operator shall operate the Hotel and all of its facilities and activities (i) in such a manner to meet the Standard at all times throughout the Operating Term and (ii) in compliance in all material respects with the Legal Requirements. Operator shall also operate and manage the Hotel for Owner in a commercially reasonable, business-like, prudent and professional manner.

3.3. Operator acknowledges and agrees that (a) Owner has an office in the Building and intends to oversee actively the operation of the Hotel, (b) if Owner exercises its Owner Parking Facility Rights, the success of the operation of such parking areas by a person or entity other than Operator will be partially dependent upon the operations and success of the Hotel and (c) Owner may engage an asset manager for the purpose of overseeing Operator’s management of the Hotel.

The Key Money Contribution shall be amortized in equal monthly amounts over an eight (8) year period commencing on the second (2nd) anniversary of the Takeover Date. If this Agreement is terminated for any reason prior to the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Takeover Date, then Owner shall pay to Operator, concurrent with the effective date of termination of this Agreement the unamortized portion of the Key Money Contribution (the “Unamortized Key Money”). Repayment of the Unamortized Key Money shall not be considered a waiver by Owner of any right to seek any and all damages against Operator if Owner terminates this Agreement due to an Event of Default by Operator.

ARTICLE IV

HOTEL EMPLOYEES

4.1.

All Hotel Employees shall be employees of Operator. Operator shall comply with all applicable Legal Requirements, Union Agreements, including, without limitation, worker’s compensation, social security, unemployment insurance, hours or labor, wages, working conditions, and other employer-employee related subjects respecting the Hotel Employees. To the extent possible, Operator shall use local labor in the operation of the Hotel. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon commencement of management of the Hotel, Operator agrees to offer employment to a sufficient number of former employees of the Hotel who desire employment by Operator on sufficient terms and conditions to avoid the notification requirements of the WARN Act and similar state law requirements. The Operator may not knowingly hire any individuals for employment at the Hotel who are related to the officers, directors or shareholders of Operator without Owner’s prior approval. Operator shall use its reasonable efforts to design, promote and implement employment practices which emphasize the continuity of management (including but not limited to the executive staff), minimize training and moving costs and reduce personnel turnover and shall consider the objective of minimizing Operating Expenses when making staffing, employee transfer and staff reduction decisions.

Owner shall have the right to consult with Operator with respect to the hiring, initially and with respect to any replacement of, the Hotel’s General Manager, Director of Sales and Marketing, Director of Finance, Director of Human Resources, Director of Food and Beverage, Director of Catering, Chief Engineer and Executive Chef (the “Core Executive Staff”). Owner shall have the right to approve, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, the hiring or replacement of the Core Executive Staff within five (5) business days after written request from Operator, which request shall be accompanied by such information as is reasonably necessary to enable Owner to make an informed decision. In the event Owner fails to notify Operator in writing of its approval or disapproval within such five (5) business day period, Operator shall deliver to Owner of a second notice following such original five (5) business day period, indicating in ALL CAPITAL TYPE that Owner’s failure to deliver its objection as provided in this Section 4.1 in the next five (5) business days shall result in Owner’s deemed approval of the item set forth in the request and Owner’s failure to respond within said five (5) business day period shall be conclusively deemed to be Owner’s approval of same. All compensation (including, without limitation, all wages, costs of payroll and similar taxes, employee benefits, relocation expenses, fringe benefits, bonuses and severance payments) of the Hotel Employees (“Employee Expenses”) shall be an Operating Expense and shall be borne by Owner and paid or reimbursed to Operator out of the Agency Account or if the amounts therein are insufficient by Owner upon demand therefor by Operator. Owner acknowledges and agrees that Operator shall have the right to institute compensation, employee benefit, severance payment and bonus policies and programs for the Hotel Employees so long as such policies are reasonable and customary in the industry for similar positions in comparable hotels, provided, Owner shall have the right to approve such policies and programs in the aggregate within each Approved Annual Plan. The aggregate amount of Employee Expenses, including, without limitation, Employee Expenses for Core Executive Staff and department heads, shall be subject to Owner’s approval as part of the Proposed Annual Plan review and approval process, or otherwise approved by Owner. If this Agreement is terminated in the middle of any Fiscal Year, Owner shall pay a pro-rata portion of any Hotel Employee’s bonus that accrued during the Operating Term. Notwithstanding anything here in the contrary, the parties hereby agree that Owner’s liability to pay for (or reimburse Operator for) any severance obligations relating to any member of the Core Executive Staff shall be limited to an amount equal to the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of (a) such person’s tenure as a member of the Core Executive Staff at the Hotel to (b) such person tenure as an employee of Operator and its Affiliates.

4.2. Operator shall comply with all applicable laws with respect to pension, medical, health, life insurance, retirement, welfare and similar employee benefits in the name of Operator, and may, enroll the Hotel Employees in additional retirement, health and welfare employee benefit plans substantially similar to corresponding plans implemented in other hotels with similar service levels managed by Operator and in accordance with industry standards. Such plans may be, at Operator’s option, joint plans for the benefit of employees at more than one hospitality property owned, leased or managed by Operator or its Affiliates, subject to the provisions of applicable laws. Employer contributions to such plans (including any withdrawal liability incurred upon termination of this Agreement) and reasonable administrative fees which Operator may expend in connection therewith shall be the responsibility of Owner and shall be an Operating Expense; provided that, other than withdrawal liability, such employer contributions shall be subject to the then-applicable Annual Plan. Operator agrees to request an annual estimate of withdrawal liability from any applicable Union. The administrative expenses of any joint plans will be equitably apportioned by Operator among properties covered by such plan, based on the Hotel’s payroll expense as it relates to the total expense of such joint plan. Operator shall not recognize any labor union for purposes of representing Hotel Employees, except (i) any currently recognized by the employer prior to the Takeover Date and (ii) pursuant to a lawful final order of the National Labor Relations Board. Operator shall negotiate for the mutual best interests of Owner and Operator with any labor unions representing Hotel Employees, but any collective bargaining agreement or labor contract resulting therefrom will be executed by Operator as the employer with the prior approval of Owner, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. It is understood that, with respect to any labor negotiations applicable to the Hotel, Operator shall consult with Owner in advance of, and during the course of, negotiations with any labor union. Operator shall receive input from Owner in connection with the negotiation of collective bargaining agreements and Operator shall reflect such input in such negotiations. Operator agrees that, with respect to any collective bargaining agreement negotiations, Operator will review with Owner all economic terms of any collective bargaining agreement proposal before making or agreeing to such proposed economic terms. Operator shall not enter into any multiemployer bargaining arrangement applicable to the Hotel and other hotel properties not owned or managed by Operator without Owner’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If a collective bargaining agreement is in place for the Hotel Employees immediately prior to the termination of this Agreement, Operator may request that Owner, in connection with such termination, seek an assessment regarding the amount of withdrawal liability incurred under any related benefit plan, if any. At Operator’s option, Owner shall post a bond or establish an escrow account to cover the costs of such withdrawal liability relating to the termination of this Agreement. Owner hereby acknowledges and agrees that (a) any employee benefit plan withdrawal liability and (b) compliance with the provisions of the WARN Act upon any disposition of the Hotel, upon any termination of this Agreement or upon the occurrence of any other event giving rise to the application of the WARN Act are the responsibility and obligation of Owner, and Owner shall use commercially reasonably efforts to (i) cause the succeeding employer to hire a sufficient number of employees at the Hotel to avoid the occurrence of a “closing” under the WARN Act or (ii) provide Operator with sufficient notice of termination to allow Operator to comply with the WARN Act and avoid any liability thereunder, and Owner hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Operator harmless in connection with any employee benefit plan withdrawal liability or any breach or claimed breach of the WARN Act in connection with any such disposition, termination or other occurrence, to the extent set forth in Section 22.2.

4.3. Operator, in its reasonable discretion, but always in accordance with the system-wide policies and procedures of Operator (which shall limit accommodations to space projected to be available and not reserved or occupied by members of the public), may, as an Operating Expense of the Hotel, (a) provide lodging for Operator’s executive employees visiting the Hotel in connection with the performance of Operator’s services and allow them the use of Hotel facilities and (b) provide the General Manager of the Hotel and other Core Executive Staff temporary living quarters within the Hotel and the use of all Hotel facilities for up to thirty (30) days, in either case without charge, as the case may be, subject to the Approved Annual Plan.

4.4. Operator shall not be liable for any failure of the Hotel to comply prior to the Commencement Date with any Employment Laws.

4.5. Operator shall make available from time to time, and for the period of time reasonably required, its Senior Vice President of Operations for the purpose of providing services in connection with the operation or control of the Hotel, including, without limitation, for the purpose of improving the operations of the Hotel or supervising the operation of the Hotel to ensure that the Standard is achieved and maintained.

4.6. Operator may, in its discretion, transfer one or more employees of Operator (or any of its Affiliates) to perform operational services at the Hotel on a temporary basis whenever it determines that circumstances have made it impractical for Operator to hire a qualified permanent employee, in which event such employee of Operator (or its Affiliate) shall be provided with room and food at the Hotel free or charge for a reasonable temporary period.

ARTICLE V

AGENCY; PROVISION OF FUNDS

5.1. In the performance of its duties as Operator of the Hotel, Operator shall act solely as agent of, and for the account of, Owner. Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute or be construed to be or create a partnership or joint venture between Owner and Operator. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, (a) all debts and liabilities to third persons incurred by Operator in the course of its operation and management of the Hotel in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be the debts and liabilities of Owner only and (b) Operator shall not be liable for any such obligations by reason of its management, supervision, direction and operation of the Hotel as agent for Owner. Operator may so inform third parties with whom it deals on behalf of Owner and may take any other reasonable steps to carry out the intent of this paragraph.

5.2. Operator shall in no event be required (a) to advance any of its funds (whether by waiver or deferral of its management fees or otherwise) for the operation of the Hotel or (b) to incur any liability unless Owner shall have furnished Operator with funds necessary for the discharge thereof prior to incurring such liability. Operator shall not be deemed to be in default of its obligations under this Agreement to the extent it is unable to perform any obligation due to the lack of available funds from the operation of the Hotel or as otherwise provided by Owner.

ARTICLE VI

CENTRALIZED SERVICES; INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

6.1. Operator may, subject to the then applicable Approved Annual Plan, provide or cause its Affiliated companies to provide for the Hotel and its guests the Centralized Services. The current list of Centralized Services offered by Operator is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A (other than the Centralized Accounting Services, which are as separately defined in this Agreement), and will be modified on an annual basis in connection with the review and approval of the Approved Annual Plan. Subject to the provisions of the applicable Approved Annual Plan, Operator or such of Operator’s Affiliated companies as provide Centralized Services shall be entitled to be reimbursed for the Hotel’s share of the total costs that are reasonably incurred in providing such Centralized Services on a system-wide basis to hotels and motels managed by Operator or its Affiliates which costs may include, without limitation, salaries (including payroll taxes and employee benefits) of employees of Operator and its Affiliates, costs of all equipment employed in the provision of such services and a reasonable charge for overhead. The Hotel’s share of such costs shall be determined in an equitable manner by Operator (which shall be reasonably satisfactory to Owner) and substantiated to Owner after each Fiscal Year, shall be an Operating Expense of the Hotel and shall be paid or reimbursed to Operator out of the Agency Account, or if the amounts therein are insufficient such costs shall be borne and paid by Owner in accordance with Section 7.1. Operator shall maintain and make available to Owner invoices or other evidence supporting all of the charges for Centralized Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Operator’s fee for providing Centralized Accounting Services shall be the Centralized Accounting Services Fee. Owner acknowledges and agrees that (a) Operator has disclosed to Owner the types of Centralized Services Operator currently makes available to properties which it operates, including those that require mandatory participation by the Hotel, (b) the Hotel is likely to receive substantial benefit from its participation in such Centralized Services, (c) Operator is not obligated to provide such Centralized Services under Article III of this Agreement, but will offer such Centralized Services to the Hotel so long as Operator continues to offer them to other similar hotels operated by Operator or its Affiliates, and (d) the receipt by Operator of the Centralized Accounting Services Fee does not breach any fiduciary or other duty which Operator may have to Owner.

6.2. Operator shall arrange for the procurement, as an Operating Expense, of all operating supplies, inventory, and/or services necessary for the normal and ordinary course of operation of the Hotel. Owner acknowledges and agrees that Operator, subject to the Major Agreements and the Approved Annual Plan, may enter into certain Multi-Property Programs pursuant to which Operator or affiliates of Operator may receive rebates or other volume- based incentive compensation from participating vendors or suppliers of goods or services under such Multi-Property Programs (“Operator Rebates”). Owner acknowledges and agrees that (i) Operator has disclosed to Owner the types of Multi-Property Programs Operator currently makes available to properties which it operates and (ii) the Hotel is likely to receive a benefit from its participation in such Multi-Property Programs, which the Hotel could not obtain on its own. The receipt by Operator of any Operator Rebates does not breach any fiduciary or other duty which Operator may have to Owner. Owner may opt-in or-out of the Multi-Property Programs during the Annual Plan approval process each year.

6.3. Operator may, subject to the then applicable Approved Annual Plan, provide certain information technology services, including, but not limited to: (a) de-centralized accounting support services, (b) Operator’s IT Central Support Services (support desk and e-mail services), (c) Operator’s IT Delphi System Support (centralized sales and catering software application), (d) use of certain Microsoft software applications at the Hotel, and (e) Virtual Private Network Connectivity and Support (connection to Operator’s software applications via secure internet connection) (the “IT Services”). For purposes of the Virtual Private Network, Operator may install hardware at the Hotel, which hardware shall be Owner’s property (installation in connection with Operator’s initial takeover of management of the Hotel shall be at no cost to Owner pursuant to Section 9.8; installations after 2017 shall be as provided in the Approved Annual Plan). In addition, Operator shall make all necessary business process changes from time to time, including, without limitation, necessary changes to information technology equipment and software to (i) comply with the operating standards required by the Major Agreements, (ii) make reasonable adaptations to changing technology, (iii) be otherwise consistent with the Standard, and (iv) achieve and sustain compliance on an on-going basis with the then current Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards and other applicable information security and operating rules and regulations of the credit card associations, and applicable data protection and privacy laws and regulations. A list of the IT Services (and the current estimated costs therefor) is included in Exhibit A, subject to change in connection with the then applicable Approved Annual Plan review and approval process for each Fiscal Year.

6.4. To the extent requested by Owner, Operator may provide project management services in connection with the procurement and installation of information technology for the Hotel during the Operating Term on terms and conditions (including separate fees for such services) mutually agreed upon by Owner and Operator.

7.1. Commencing immediately prior to the Takeover Date, Owner will provide Operator with the Minimum Working Capital for the Hotel. Owner shall at all times provide, either from Total Revenues or from other funds of Owner, sufficient funds as reasonably determined by Operator to constitute normal working capital for the uninterrupted and efficient operation of the Hotel (but which, in no event, shall be an amount less than the Minimum Working Capital), in accordance with this Agreement, and to maintain the Standard as required herein (but without negating Operator’s obligation to obtain Owner’s consent to exceed budget amounts if required under Section 8.6). Operator agrees that in determining the required working capital, Operator shall take into account the anticipated Operating Expenses and anticipated Total Revenues of the Hotel for the applicable rolling thirty (30) day period. In furtherance thereof, Operator shall provide to Owner monthly cash flow forecasts covering the next ninety (90) days of the Hotel’s financial needs as part of Operator’s Monthly Cash Flow Forecast. Operator shall manage accounts receivable and inventories as would a prudent operator of a hotel similar to the Hotel and consistent with its operation of its other hotels.

Within fourteen (14) days following Operator’s notice to Owner that additional funds are required to pay payroll expenses and other necessary Operating Expenses, Owner shall provide such funds necessary to pay such Operating Expenses. Any such failure to provide such funding within the required time period shall constitute a breach under Section 17.1(A) of this Agreement. Operator may, but shall not be required to, fund such expenses, and in such event, Operator may, in addition to all other rights, repay itself as soon as any funds are available.

7.2. All funds received by Operator in the operation of the Hotel, including working capital furnished by Owner, shall be deposited in an Agency Account in such federally insured financial institution as may be selected by Operator and reasonably approved by Owner and approved by any Mortgagee. Such funds shall not be commingled with Operator’s other funds. To the extent funds are currently available in the Agency Account, Operator shall pay all Operating Expenses and Fixed Charges on behalf of Owner from the Agency Account. Upon Owner’s written request and direction, Operator shall pay on behalf of Owner from the Agency Account (but only to the extent that such funds are available in the Agency Account following the payment of all Operating Expenses and Fixed Charges), such other Owner Expenses as may be requested by Owner; provided, however, Operator will not be required to pay such Owner Expenses until Operator receives Owner’s Expense Notice. Owner agrees to provide Owner’s Expense Notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the first payment by Operator is due, and such Owner’s Expense Notice shall only be revocable upon thirty (30) days prior written notice from Owner.

7.3. In addition to the Agency Account established pursuant to Section 7.2, the FF&E Reserve Account shall be established at the same institution for a reserve for replacements, substitutions and additions to the FF&E. Such funds shall not be commingled with Operator’s other funds.

7.4. The Agency Account and the FF&E Reserve Account, shall be opened and maintained at all times in the name of Operator as agent for Owner doing business as the “Hilton San Francisco Financial District” and shall be under the control of Operator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, checks or other documents of withdrawal may be signed only by authorized representatives of Operator, provided that such representatives shall be bonded or otherwise insured in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Owner. Owner shall have read-only access to the Agency Account and FF&E Reserve Account. The premiums for bonding or other insurance shall be an Operating Expense except for premiums for bonding off-site executive employees of Operator. Operator shall prepare all bank reconciliations and do all necessary accounting with respect to the Agency Account and the FF&E Reserve Account. Owner may review such bank reconciliations in detail at any time.

7.5. The provisions of this Article VII and any other provisions of this Agreement regarding cash management or the handling of Hotel funds (including any reserves) are subject to, and Operator shall comply with, any requirements regarding cash management and handling of all or any portion of Total Revenues and other Hotel funds including with respect to any reserves and any lock box or similar arrangements, of any Mortgagee, and within ten (10) days after being requested in writing to do so, Operator will join in any commercially reasonable agreement, acknowledgement or consent with respect thereto required by any Mortgagee. Nothing in this Section 7.5 shall negate or reduce Owner’s obligations to provide sufficient funds for operation in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII

BOOKS, RECORDS AND STATEMENTS; ANNUAL PLAN

8.1. Operator shall keep full and accurate books of account and other records reflecting all transactions of the Hotel and the results of the operation of the Hotel in accordance with GAAP and the Uniform System with such exceptions as may be required by the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that Operator may, with prior written notice to Owner, make such modifications to the methodology in the Uniform System as are consistent with Operator’s standard practice in accounting for its operations under management contracts generally, so long as such modifications (a) do not affect the determination of the Basic Fee, the Incentive Fee, Total Revenues, Operating Expenses or Fixed Charges, (b) are consistent with good hotel accounting practices and the requirements of this Agreement, and (c) do not impair Owner’s ability to comply with any requirement of any laws applicable to Owner and/or the Hotel. All financial books and records for the Hotel, including, without limitation, all books of account, invoices, financial reports and analyses, financial statements and bank account statements, shall be uploaded to an appropriate remote electronic storage system utilized by Operator’s accounting department (the “Electronic Storage System”). Operator shall provide Owner with the necessary information for Owner to create and establish its own user name and password for the Electronic Storage System in order to allow Owner to have remote read-only access to all data on the Electronic Storage System without interruption on a 24-hour basis throughout the Operating Term. In addition, Operator shall prepare and provide to Owner a daily cash management excel spreadsheet in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, subject to updates to the form as reasonably requested by Owner from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all physical books and records (including those which may be kept in Operator’s home office or other suitable location pursuant to the adoption of a central billing system or other centralized service, but excluding employment records other than employee census information), shall be available to Owner and its representatives during normal business hours and at all other reasonable times, upon reasonable prior notice by Owner and its agents, for examination, audit, inspection and transcription. Promptly upon Owner’s written request, Operator shall deliver a copy of such books and records to Owner. All books and records including, without limitation, books of account, guest records and front office records (but excluding any employment records other than employee census information), shall be the property of Owner and shall not be removed from the Hotel without Owner’s prior written approval, except that (i) such books and records shall be uploaded to the Electronic Storage System and (ii) Operator shall have the right to make copies of such records and have access to the records after termination of this Agreement. Operator shall be prohibited from using any of the guest records for the Hotel in the management, operation, advertising, marketing or promotion of any other hotel, condominium, condo-hotel, timeshare, resort property or other transient hospitality product, provided that Operator may use guest records in connection with its national group sales program and in accordance with the programs available pursuant to the Franchise Agreement.

8.2.

Operator shall deliver to Owner in electronic format weekly “flash” reports.

Operator shall deliver to Owner in electronic format within fifteen (15) days after the end of each month, the Monthly Reports covering operations for the prior month and the year-to-date through the prior month. On or before two (2) business days after the delivery of any internal financial and operation reports concerning the Hotel, including, without limitation, month end “flash” reports, Operator shall deliver to Owner a copy of the report.

Within twenty (20) days after the end of each calendar quarter, Operator shall deliver to Owner unaudited financial statements and reports for such quarter (the “Quarterly Operating Statements”), providing the same information as contained in the Monthly Reports, but adjusted to reflect the applicable portion of the Fiscal Year.

Within fifteen (15) days after the end of each Fiscal Year, Operator shall deliver to Owner an unaudited annual accounting (the “Annual Operating Statement”). The Annual Operating Statement shall provide the same information as contained in the Monthly Reports, but adjusted to reflect the entire Fiscal Year and shall show the results of operations of the Hotel during the Fiscal Year and a computation of Total Revenues, Operating Expenses, and Distributable Cash, if any, and any other information necessary to make the computations required hereby or which may be reasonably requested by Owner, all for such Fiscal Year. Subject to the reconciliation set forth in Section 8.3 below, the Annual Operating Statement for any Fiscal Year shall be controlling over the interim accountings for such year.

The Monthly Reports, the Quarterly Operating Statements and the Annual Operating Statement shall each be prepared in accordance with the Uniform System and/or GAAP unless otherwise set forth in this Agreement. Any financial statements included in the Monthly Reports, the Quarterly Operating Statements or the Annual Operating Statement must be accompanied by a certificate of Operator’s designated accounting officer certifying that such statements were prepared under such officer’s supervision and that such statements were true and correct as of the date prepared.

8.3. Operator shall provide reasonable assistance to an accounting firm selected by Owner in order to permit such accounting firm to deliver to Owner annual audited financial statements of Owner for the immediately preceding Fiscal Year. At Owner’s request and for an additional fee, Operator shall provide the SAS-70 (SSAE- SOC 16) audit to Owner. The fee to Owner shall be determined by allocating pro-rata the total fee incurred by Operator for such audit among the owners of all hotels operated by Operator or its Affiliates that request such audit. If any audit discloses any discrepancies from the Annual Operating Statement, Owner shall notify Operator thereon within sixty (60) days after delivery of the audited Annual Operating Statement. Except for any such discrepancies of which Owner notifies Operator based upon the audit on or before expiration of the sixty (60) day period after delivery of the audited Annual Operating Statement, at the end of such sixty (60) day period, the Annual Operating Statement shall be deemed to be final and binding upon the parties absent any intentional misrepresentation or concealment of information with respect to the operation of the Hotel by Operator. Any adjustments to the Basic Fee or Incentive Fee or any other amounts paid under this Agreement required because of the results of such audit shall be made by the parties within ten (10) business days of Operator’s receipt of written notice from Owner regarding any discrepancies disclosed by the audit. The cost of any audit of the Annual Operating Statement shall be an Operating Expense. For the avoidance of doubt, when determining whether there has been an overpayment of the Basic Fee and/or the Incentive Fee and/or any other amounts paid under this Agreement for any Fiscal Year, such determination shall be based on such fees that have been paid for such Fiscal Year and the calculation by Operator of those fees to be paid by Owner pursuant to the Annual Operating Statement for such Fiscal Year.

8.4. With respect to the first (1^st) Fiscal Year, the Approved Annual Plan shall be the pro forma Approved Annual Plan attached hereto as Exhibit B. With respect to each other Fiscal Year, on or before each November 15 during the Operating Term, Operator shall submit to Owner for Owner’s approval, a proposed Annual Plan for the Hotel (the “Proposed Annual Plan”), which shall include for the ensuing Fiscal Year, the following proposed budgets and programs:

A proposed operating budget (the “Proposed Operating Budget”) on a monthly and yearly basis with detailed departmental schedules for each line item and the assumptions underlying the same, including, without limitation: (a) projected occupancy and average room rates by month broken down by room segment; (b) projected Total Revenues; (c) proposed Hotel room rates and charges for other services; (d) projected Operating Expenses of the Hotel; (e) proposed staff scheduling and compensation (including, without limitation, any bonuses or other incentive compensation for Hotel Employees); (f) a narrative comparison of budgeted revenue and expense levels to the previous Fiscal Year’s estimated and accrual results, highlighting material changes for the upcoming Fiscal Year, (g) anticipated depreciation and amortization of fixed assets at the Hotel; (h) annual debt service with respect to the Hotel; (i) projected contributions by, and distributions to, Owner as a result of Hotel operations; (j) an estimate of working capital balance required to be maintained, as of the end of each month; (k) projected amount of reductions for accounts receivable; and (l) all other items reasonably requested by Owner in order to provide the projected cash flow for the Hotel during such upcoming calendar year;

A proposed capital budget (“Proposed Capital Budget”) setting forth Operator’s estimate of the capital expenditures to be made respecting the Hotel for both of the following:

(I) major repairs, alternations, improvements, renewals and replacements (which repairs, alterations, improvements and renewals are not routine maintenance, repairs and alterations referred to in Section 8.4(C)) to the structural, mechanical, electrical, heating, ventilating, air conditioning, plumbing and vertical transportation elements of the Hotel building (“Major Capital Expenditures”); and

(II) non-routine repairs and maintenance to the Building which are normally capitalized under GAAP, such as exterior and interior repainting, resurfacing building walls, floors, roofs and parking areas, and replacing folding walls and the like, but which are not Major Capital Expenditures.

A proposed budget (the “Proposed FF&E Budget”) setting forth Operator’s estimate of the FF&E expenditures to be made and the sources of funds for the replacements and renewals to the Hotel’s FF&E.

A market overview of local competitive properties of the Hotel including narrative descriptions of (i) local competitive properties of the Hotel (including the Competitive Set) including narrative descriptions and allocable costs of (x) such hotel’s national or regional or business segment marketing plans, (y) local marketing, and (z) sales initiatives, (ii) the Hotel’s target market and the Hotel’s relative position in such market, and (iii) the proposed room rate structures and occupancy for the target market.

A staffing plan describing the general staffing needs for the operation and management of the Hotel.

The budget components of the Proposed Annual Plan shall be prepared in accordance with the Uniform System to the extent applicable and shall otherwise be prepared in accordance with Operator’s standard financial reporting and budgeting practices. Owner shall make the final determination respecting the approval of the Proposed Annual Plan. Owner shall notify Operator in writing of its approval or disapproval of the Proposed Annual Plan not later than thirty (30) days after Owner’s receipt of the Proposed Annual Plan and, if Owner disapproves of the Proposed Annual Plan, Owner shall state in such notice the reasons therefor with reasonable particularity. In the event Owner fails to notify Operator in writing of its approval or disapproval of the Proposed Annual Budget within five (5) days of Operator’s delivery to Owner of a second notice following such thirty (30) day period, indicating in ALL CAPITAL TYPE that Owner’s failure to deliver its objection(s) to the Proposed Annual Plan as provided in this Section 8.4 in the next five (5) days shall result in the Proposed Annual Plan becoming the Approved Annual Plan for the Fiscal Year to which it relates, then such Proposed Annual Plan shall be deemed approved by Owner and shall be deemed the Approved Annual Plan for the Fiscal Year to which it relates.

If any item or items contained in the Proposed Annual Plan are disapproved by Owner in writing, Operator shall submit to Owner a new Proposed Annual Plan or appropriate portion thereof within fifteen (15) days following Operator’s receipt of Owner’s written notice of disapproval. If any item contained in the revised Proposed Annual Plan is then disapproved by Owner in writing within fifteen (15) days thereafter, Operator shall submit to Owner a further revised Proposed Annual Plan or appropriate portion thereof within fifteen (15) days following Operator’s receipt of Owner’s written notice of disapproval of the revised Proposed Annual Plan.

8.5. In the event Operator and Owner are unable to agree on the Proposed Annual Plan (including all revised versions thereof) prior to January 31st of the Fiscal Year to which such Proposed Annual Plan relates, the dispute shall be resolved by an independent internationally recognized hotel consultant, selected and retained jointly by Owner and Operator, which consultant (a) shall have not fewer than ten (10) years of experience in the hotel business; (b) shall not be an Affiliate or a person who has any past, present, or currently contemplated future business or personal relationship with either Owner or Operator; and (c) whose compensation is not fixed based upon the results of the issue at dispute (the “Industry Expert”). Until the Proposed Annual Plan is approved in writing by Owner, Operator shall (i) operate the Hotel in accordance with those items of the Proposed Annual Plan which are not in dispute, and (ii) with regard to such items that are in dispute, Operator shall operate the Hotel consistent with the most recent Approved Annual Plan until such dispute is resolved, except for, or as modified by, (x) an adjustment to the disputed items so as to increase (but not decrease) disputed expense items by the same percentage as any percentage increase in the CPI, from the CPI in effect on the first day of the first month of the Fiscal Year applicable to such last Approved Annual Plan to the CPI in effect on the first day of the first month of the Fiscal Year applicable to the disputed Proposed Annual Plan, (y) Necessary Expenses which shall be paid as required, and (z) Emergency Expenses which shall be paid as required. Upon the Owner’s approval of the Proposed Annual Plan or the resolution of any dispute in connection therewith, the Proposed Annual Plan shall be deemed to be the “Approved Annual Plan”, the Proposed Operating Budget shall be deemed to be the “Operating Budget”, the Proposed Capital Budget shall be deemed to be the “Capital Budget”, and the Proposed FF&E Budget shall be deemed to be the “FF&E Budget”.

8.6. Upon approval of the Proposed Annual Plan by Owner, Operator shall use diligent and commercially reasonable efforts to operate the Hotel substantially in accordance with the Approved Annual Plan. Operator shall not, without Owner’s prior written approval, which approval may be withheld in Owner’s sole and absolute discretion, materially deviate from the then applicable Approved Annual Plan or:

Incur any expense for any line-item in the Operating Budget which causes (i) the aggregate expenditures for such line item to exceed the budgeted amount by the greater of (x) 10% or (y) $10,000 or (ii) the Operating Budget to be exceeded by more than 10% in the aggregate, in each case for the applicable fiscal period set forth in the Operating Budget, provided that Operator may at Owner’s cost and expense, without Owner’s approval pay any (1) Necessary Expenses, and/or (2) Emergency Expenses.

Incur any expense for any line-item in the Capital Budget which causes (i) the aggregate expenditures for such departmental category to exceed the budgeted amount by the greater of (x) 10% or (y) $10,000 or (ii) the Capital Budget to be exceeded by more than 5% in the aggregate, in each case for the applicable fiscal period set forth in the Capital Budget, provided that Operator may, without Owner’s approval, pay any Emergency Expenses which are capital in nature up to a cap of $50,000 in any Fiscal Year.

8.7. Subject to Operator’s obligation to operate the Hotel in Owner’s best interest, if Operating Expenses increase as a result of (a) occupancy (based on guests paying the then market room rates), or (b) the volume of the overall business of the Hotel (“Business Opportunities”) that were not contemplated in the Approved Annual Plan, permitted Operating Expenses shall be equitably adjusted upward to reflect the increased Operating Expenses for the period of time that the Business Opportunities exist (“Opportunity Costs”). Any dispute with respect to the Business Opportunities or Opportunity Costs shall be resolved by an Industry Expert.

8.8. In entering into this Agreement, each of Operator and Owner acknowledges that neither Operator nor Owner has made any representation to the other regarding projected earnings, the possibility of future success or any other similar matter respecting the Hotel, and that Operator and Owner understand that no guarantee is made to the other as to any specific amount of income to be received by Operator or Owner or as to the future financial success of the Hotel. Operator is not warranting or guaranteeing in any respect that the actual operating results of the Hotel during the period covered by the then applicable Approved Annual Plan will not materially vary from the then applicable Approved Annual Plan.

8.8. Any reference to compliance with the Approved Annual Plan or subject to the Approved Annual Plan or similar phrases in this Agreement shall include all variances to the Annual Plan expressly permitted pursuant to the terms of Section 8.6.

All costs and expenses incurred by Owner and Operator in connection with a Tax Contest shall be Fixed Charges.

ARTICLE XIV

REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

14.1. Subject to the then applicable Approved Annual Plan and Owner’s provision of the required working capital pursuant to Section 7.1, Operator shall from time to time make such repairs and maintenance (other than Major Capital Expenditures) as are required to maintain the Hotel in a manner to allow the Hotel to meet the physical elements of the Standard.

14.2. Owner shall maintain the Hotel in accordance with the Standard and shall approve, in the Proposed Annual Plan or an amendment to any Approved Annual Plan, any Major Capital Expenditures proposed by Operator which are required to maintain the Hotel in accordance with the Standard.

Owner shall use commercially reasonably efforts to comply with all laws, obtain all necessary permits and shall provide Operator copies of any permits prior to commencement of any such activities.

ARTICLE XVIII

TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT

18.1. Provided Owner gives Operator forty-five (45) days’ prior written notice, Owner may terminate this Agreement effective as of and conditioned upon the closing of the sale of the Hotel to a bona fide third-party purchaser who is not an Affiliate of Owner without any termination fee or penalty being due to Operator (other than amounts accrued prior to the effective date of termination as set forth in Section 18.9).

18.2. Beginning on the second (2nd) anniversary of the Takeover Date and upon at least sixty (60) days’ written notice to Operator, Owner may terminate this Agreement, without cause and without any termination fee or penalty being due to Operator (other than amounts accrued prior to the effective date of termination as set forth in Section 18.9).

18.3.

Beginning on the second (2nd) anniversary of the Takeover Date (such that the first “testing year” commencing on the first day of the third year after the Takeover Date) and upon at least sixty (60) days’ written notice to Operator, Owner may terminate this Agreement without any termination fee or penalty being due to Operator (other than amounts accrued prior to the effective date of termination as set forth in Section 18.9), in the event that the operations of the Hotel fail both of the following performance tests in any Fiscal Year, which shall be deemed a “Performance Failure”:

(I)

the Gross Operating Profit for any Fiscal Year is less than ninety percent (90%) of the Gross Operating Profit set forth in the Approved Annual Plan for such Fiscal Year (without regard to any amendments or changes to such Approved Annual Plan, whether Owner’s approval thereof is either required or obtained), and

(II)

the RevPAR Index is less than 90% (the “RevPAR Test”).

In the event of a Performance Failure, Owner only shall be permitted to exercise its termination right under this Section 18.3 during the ninety (90) day period following Owner’s receipt of the Monthly Reports (as described in Section 8.2) for the last month of the Fiscal Year in which such Performance Failure occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if within thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice to terminate due to a Performance Failure, Operator pays Owner an amount equal to the difference between (x) actual Gross Operating Profit and (y) budgeted Gross Operating Profit set forth in the Approved Annual Plan for the Fiscal Year that gave rise to the Performance Failure under this Section 18.3, then such Performance Failure shall be deemed fully cured by Operator, such that the notice to terminate due to a Performance Failure is automatically deemed rescinded and no basis for a Performance Failure shall be deemed to exist; provided that Operator may only cure a Performance Failure twice during the Operating Term.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if at any time after the Takeover Date: (i) a hotel in the then existing Competitive Set is no longer operating at a level substantially equivalent to the higher of (x) the Standard; or (y) as of the date hereof, (ii) information with respect to a hotel in the then existing Competitive Set is no longer available through the Xxxxx Travel Research; and/or (iii) a material change to a hotel in the then existing Competitive Set occurs, including the cessation of operation of a hotel or a change to the standards of operation of a hotel, then either party may request that the other party consent to the removal and replacement of such hotel in the Competitive Set.

In the event that the removal of a hotel from the Competitive Set is requested by either party and the other party consents to such removal, Owner and Operator, each acting reasonably, shall endeavor to agree upon one or more replacement hotels to be included in the Competitive Set that consist of hotels in the Hotel’s immediate market area that are most comparable to the Hotel in quality, price and market position (with due consideration given to location, age, quality, size, amenities, amount of meeting space and business mix); provided that: (i) any replacement hotel must have been in operation for at least five full years; (ii) the Competitive Set includes at least four hotels and no more than six hotels, and (iii) a single hotel in the Competitive Set does not account for more than 30% of the total guest rooms of all hotels included in the Competitive Set (the “Replacement Hotel Requirements”). If the parties are unable to reach agreement as to: (x) whether a hotel should be removed from the Competitive Set, and/or (y) which hotels are to be included in the Competitive Set, either party may submit the matter to the Industry Expert for resolution.

In connection with the removal of a hotel from the Competitive Set or the selection of a replacement hotel or hotels for the Competitive Set, either party may also request that the RevPAR Test be modified to account for the changes to the Competitive Set. If the parties are unable to reach agreement as to a modification of the RevPAR Test, either party may request that the Industry Expert resolve such dispute, concurrently with the resolution of whether a hotel should be removed from the Competitive Set and/or which hotels are to be included in the Competitive Set.

In the event a hotel or hotels are removed from the Competitive Set pursuant to the procedure set forth in this Section 18.3, and the parties determine that the immediate market area does not include a replacement hotel which meets the Replacement Hotel Requirements, either party may propose: (i) a replacement hotel which does not meet the Replacement Hotel Requirements for the other party’s consideration; and (ii) in connection with such proposal, a modification to the RevPAR Test to account for the changes to the Competitive Set that result from the addition of a hotel which does not meet the Replacement Hotel Requirements. If the parties are unable to reach agreement as to: (x) the inclusion of a hotel which does not meet the Replacement Hotel Requirements, and/or (y) a modification to the RevPAR Test in connection therewith, either party may submit the matter to the Industry Expert for resolution.

The Competitive Set shall be reviewed and amended as requested under this Section 18.3 and as part of the approval of the then applicable Proposed Annual Plan.

18.4. Operator and Owner agree that upon termination, there may be certain adjustments to the final accounting for which information may not be available at the time of the final accounting and the parties agree to readjust such amounts and make the required cash adjustments when such information becomes available; provided, however, but subject to the provisions of Article XXII hereof, all accounts shall be deemed final one (1) year after termination of the Agreement.

18.5. No later than ninety (90) days following the termination of this Agreement Operator shall transfer to Owner all remaining amounts in the Agency Account and the FF&E Reserve Account.

18.6. Following termination of this Agreement, Operator shall transfer to Owner all books and records (excluding employment records other than (i) employee census information and (ii) union employee records that must remain at the Hotel) with respect to the Hotel following termination of this Agreement.

18.7. To the extent permitted by applicable laws, upon termination of this Agreement for any reason Operator shall use reasonable efforts to assist Owner in assigning any contracts, permits or licenses (including restaurant and liquor licenses) to Owner or the subsequent manager or owner and. shall use reasonable efforts to obtain all consents necessary therefor; provided that (a) Owner shall give Operator sufficient time to effect such transfers; (b) Owner shall cooperate and require that the new manager and/or owner to cooperate, with Operator with respect to such transfers; (c) Owner shall pay or reimburse any costs or expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, incurred by Operator in connection with these efforts.

18.8.

All intellectual technology or intellectual property, including any software or systems, used on a system wide basis at Operator’s properties shall remain the exclusive property of Operator (“Operator IP”). Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason Operator shall have the right to remove such Operator IP, and remove Owner’s access to any proprietary systems related to such Operator IP without compensation to Owner. Owner assumes all liability if Owner uses illegally licensed software that constitutes Operator IP. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, Operator shall provide to Owner a copy of all data and information relating to the operation of the Hotel during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the termination date and the right to copy such data and information, but not the Operator IP itself.

Operator shall cause any intellectual technology or intellectual property, including any software or systems, specific to the Hotel itself, (“Owner IP”) to be in the name of Owner in order that such Owner IP shall be owned, licensed and proprietary to Owner. The Owner IP shall remain the exclusive property of Owner and upon termination, Operator shall have no right to remove such Owner IP or remove Owner’s access to any system related to such Owner IP. Operator assumes all liability if Operator uses illegally licensed software that constitutes Owner IP.

All hardware or other software equipment installed at the Hotel (excluding leased equipment) shall remain the exclusive property of Owner and upon termination, Operator shall have no right to remove such non-leased hardware or equipment.

18.9. If this Agreement is terminated for any reason, a Termination Reserve shall be established to (i) reimburse Operator for all costs and expenses incurred by Operator in terminating its employees at the Hotel (such as severance pay, unemployment compensation, employment relocation, earned and accrued vacation pay, bonus accruals, estimated tax payments and any other employee liability costs arising out of termination of employment of Operator’s employees at the Hotel), but specifically excluding withdrawal liability from any applicable Union (which is addressed in Section 4.2 of this Agreement); (ii) pay outstanding accounts payable for liabilities and obligations incurred during the Operating Term; and (iii) make any required adjustments as described in Section 18.4 hereof. On or before the effective date of termination, Operator shall provide Owner an estimate of such costs and expenses, based on known liabilities with reasonable evidence to substantiate this estimate for review and mutual reasonable approval by the parties.

18.10. Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason during, or at the end of, the Operating Term of this Agreement, (a) Operator and Owner agree to sign any documents reasonably necessary to effect such termination or change in management for the Hotel, (b) Owner shall pay to Operator all Basic Fees, Centralized Services Fees, Incentive Fees, reimbursable expenses and other amounts due under this Agreement through the effective date of termination, including, if applicable, the Unamortized Key Money in accordance with Section 3.7, and (c) Operator shall pay to Owner any amounts due and owing to Owner under this Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, the Unamortized Key Money shall not be payable if this Agreement is terminated as a result of an Operator Event of Default.

18.11. Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, subject to Owner performing its obligations with respect to the termination, Operator shall peaceably and quietly surrender and deliver up to Owner possession of the Hotel in accordance with its obligations contained herein, with the specific intent to effectuate a smooth transition of management of the Hotel to Owner or a third party so as to minimize any potential disturbance of guests.

ARTICLE XIX

19.1. Operator shall not assign or pledge this Agreement without the prior written consent of Owner; provided that, Operator may, without the consent of Owner, assign this Agreement to (a) any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Operator (control being deemed to mean the ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the stock or other beneficial interest in such entity and/or the irrevocable power to direct the day-to-day and long-term operations and policies of such entity); (b) any entity which is the successor by merger, consolidation or reorganization of Operator or Operator’s general partner, managing member or parent corporation or (c) the purchaser of all or substantially all of the hotel management business of Operator or Operator’s general partner, managing member or parent corporation.

ARTICLE XXII

INDEMNIFICATION

22.1. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Operator hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Owner and its Affiliates (and each of their respective agents, principals, contractors, shareholders, partners, members, officers, directors and employees, and each of their respective successors and assigns (individually, an “Owner Indemnitee” and collectively, “Owner Indemnitees”)) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, claims, damages, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) that may be incurred by or asserted against any Owner Indemnitee and that arise from or relates to (a) the fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence of the off-site employees of Operator, General Manager or Director of Finance, (b) the breach by Operator of any provision of this Agreement caused by the fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence of the off-site employees of Operator, General Manager or Director of Finance, or (c) any action taken by Operator, General Manager or Director of Finance which is beyond the scope of Operator’s authority under this Agreement (the “Operator Indemnity Obligations”); provided that, Operator shall not be obligated with regard to the foregoing for the Hotel’s Director of Finance if the Director of Finance (i) was the Hotel’s Director of Finance (or equivalent position) immediately prior to the Takeover Date and (ii) less than six (6) months have elapsed since the Takeover Date. Owner shall promptly provide Operator with written notice of any claim or suit brought against any Owner’s Indemnitee by a third party which might result in such indemnification. Owner shall cooperate with the Operator or its counsel in the preparation and conduct of any defense to any such claim or suit.

22.2. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Owner hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Operator and its affiliates (and each of their respective agents, principals, contractors, shareholders, partners, members, officers, directors and employees, and each of their respective successors and assigns (individually, an “Operator Indmenitee” and collectively, “Operator Indemnitees”)) harmless from and against all liabilities, losses, claims (including, but not limited to Employment Claims) damages, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses; and any additional tax as set forth in Section 9.7 and interest and penalties thereon) that may be incurred by or asserted against any Operator Indemnitee and that arise from or relates to (a) the performance of Operator’s services in accordance with this Agreement, (b) any act or omission (whether or not willful, tortious, or negligent) of Owner or any third party, (c) any liabilities arising from a tax audit with respect to the Hotel whether conducted during or after the Operating Term, (d) Owner’s failure to promptly remove any Hazardous Materials on any portion of the Hotel or its surrounding site or otherwise remedy the problem in accordance with all laws, rules and regulations of any governmental authority or (e) or any other occurrence related to the Hotel and/or Operator’s duties under this Agreement whether arising before, during or after the Operating Term (the “Owner Indemnity Obligations”). Operator shall promptly provide Owner with written notice of any claim or suit brought against it by a third party which might result in such indemnification. Operator shall cooperate with the Owner or its counsel in the preparation and conduct of any defense to any such claim or suit. IT IS EXPRESSLY AGREED AND UNDERSTOOD THAT THIS AGREEMENT INCLUDES INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS WHICH, IN CIRCUMSTANCES OTHER THAN AS PROVIDED FOR IN SECTION 22.1, COULD INCLUDE AN INDEMNIFICATION BY OWNER OF OPERATOR FROM CLAIMS OR LOSSES ARISING AS A RESULT OF OPERATOR’S OWN NEGLIGENCE OR THE NEGLIGENCE OF OPERATOR’S EMPLOYEES WHETHER OR NOT SUCH NEGLIGENCE IS PASSIVE OR ACTIVE. It is agreed that none of the Operator Indemnitees shall have any right to indemnity with respect to any Owner Indemnity Obligations if such Owner Indemnity Obligations result from, were caused by or otherwise constitute an Operator Indemnity Obligation for which Operator is required to indemnify the Owner Indemnitees in accordance with Section 22.1.

22.3. If any action, lawsuit or other proceeding shall be brought against any Indemnified Party hereunder arising out of or based upon any of the matters for which such party is indemnified under this Agreement, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Obligor in writing (which may be in the form of email) thereof and, except in the case of an Employment Claim (which shall be defended by Operator subject to the indemnity set forth in Section 22.2). Obligor shall promptly assume the defense thereof (including without limitation the employment of counsel selected by Obligor) unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties as provided herein, such defense to be subject to the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (provided, however, by way of illustration and not limitation, it shall be reasonable for the Indemnified Party to deny consent to any settlement that requires the Indemnified Party to admit guilt or liability). The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Obligor in the defense of any such action, lawsuit or proceeding, on the condition that the Obligor shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for any out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Obligor shall have the right to negotiate settlement or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to the matters indemnified hereunder; provided, however, that if any such settlement or consent judgment contemplates any action or restraint on the part of the Indemnified Party, then such settlement or consent judgment shall require the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In addition to the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have the right (at its own expense) to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof. An Indemnified Party may settle any action on its own behalf (i.e., with respect to its own liability and with no requirement of Obligor to admit guilt or liability) only with the prior written consent of Obligor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (provided, however, by way of illustration and not limitation, it shall be reasonable for Obligor to deny consent to any settlement that requires Obligor to expend funds in an amount Obligor reasonably determines is inappropriate so long as the Indemnified Party remains adequately protected at all times). In the event that Obligor fails to use reasonable efforts to defend or compromise any action, lawsuit or other proceeding for which an Indemnified Party is indemnified hereunder or as the parties may agree, the Indemnified Party may, at Obligor’s expense and without limiting Obligor’s liability under the applicable indemnity, assume the defense of such action and the Obligor shall pay the charges and expenses of such attorneys and other persons on a current basis within thirty (30) days of submission of invoices or bills therefor. In the event the Obligor is Owner and Owner neglects or refuses to pay such charges, Operator may pay such charges out of the Agency Account and deduct such charges from any amounts due Owner, or add such charges to any amounts due Operator from Owner under this Agreement. If Operator is the Obligor and Operator neglects or refuses to pay such charges, the amount of such charges shall be deducted from any amounts due Operator under this Agreement.

22.4. The provisions of this Article shall survive the termination of this Agreement with respect to acts, omissions and occurrences arising during the Operating Term.

ARTICLE XXIII

MISCELLANEOUS

23.1. Owner and Operator shall execute and deliver all other appropriate supplemental agreements and other instruments, and take any other action necessary to make this Agreement fully and legally effective, binding, and enforceable as between them and as against third parties; provided, however, that neither party shall be required to execute any other document or instrument or perform any other action that would materially increase its liability or decrease its rights under this Agreement.

23.2. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, superseding all prior agreements or undertakings, oral or written. Owner acknowledges that in entering into this Agreement, Owner has not relied on any projection of earnings, statements as to the possibility of future success, or other similar matter which may have been prepared by Operator.
