If either a claimant (or all claimants) or a respondent (or all respondents) fail(s) to timely select an arbitrator then the party (or parties) who has selected an arbitrator may request the AAA to provide a list of three (3) proposed arbitrators in accordance with the Rules (each of whom shall be neutral, impartial and unaffiliated with any party) and the party (or parties) that failed to timely appoint an arbitrator shall have ten (10) days from the date the AAA provides such list to select one (1) of the three (3) arbitrators proposed by the AAA.

If the party (or parties) fail(s) to select the second (2^nd) arbitrator by that time, the party (or parties) who have appointed the first (1^st) arbitrator shall then have ten (10) days to select one (1) of the three (3) arbitrators proposed by the AAA to be the second (2^nd) arbitrator; and, if they should fail to select the second (2^nd) arbitrator by such time, the AAA shall select, within fifteen (15) days thereafter, one (1) of the three (3) arbitrators it had proposed as the second (2^nd) arbitrator. The two (2) arbitrators so appointed shall jointly appoint the third (3^rd) and presiding arbitrator (who shall be neutral, impartial and unaffiliated with any party) within fifteen (15) days of the appointment of the second (2^nd) arbitrator. If the third (3^rd) arbitrator has not been appointed within the time limit specified herein, then the AAA shall provide a list of proposed arbitrators in accordance with the Rules, and the arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with a listing, striking and ranking procedure, with each party having a limited number of strikes, excluding strikes for cause.

(3) Location of Arbitration. Any arbitration hearings shall be held in Boston, Massachusetts, unless otherwise agreed by the parties, but the seat of arbitration shall be Maryland.

(4) Scope of Discovery. There shall be only limited documentary discovery of documents directly related to the issues in dispute, as may be ordered by the arbitrators. For the avoidance of doubt, it is intended that there shall be no depositions and no other discovery other than limited documentary discovery as described in the preceding sentence.

(5) Arbitration Award. In rendering an award or decision (an “Award”), the arbitrators shall be required to follow the Laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Any arbitration proceedings or Award rendered hereunder, and the validity, effect and interpretation of the agreements set forth in this Section 6.1 shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1 et seq. An Award shall be in writing and may, but shall not be required to, briefly state the findings of fact and conclusions of Law on which it is based. Any monetary Award shall be made and payable in U.S. dollars free of any tax, deduction or offset. Subject to Section 6.1(7), each party against which an Award assesses a monetary obligation shall pay that obligation on or before the thirtieth (30th) day following the date of such Award or such other date as such Award may provide.

(6) Costs. Except to the extent expressly provided by this Agreement or as otherwise agreed by the parties thereto, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland Law, each party involved in a Dispute shall bear its own costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), and the arbitrators shall not render an Award that would include shifting of any such costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) or, in a derivative case or class action, award any portion of a party’s Award to the claimant or the claimant’s attorneys. Each party (or, if there are more than two (2) parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand, respectively) shall bear the costs and expenses of its (or their) selected arbitrator and the parties (or, if there are more than two (2) parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand) shall equally bear the costs and expenses of the third (3^rd) appointed arbitrator.

(7) Appeals. Notwithstanding any language to the contrary in this Agreement, any Award, including but not limited to any interim Award, may be appealed pursuant to the AAA’s Optional Appellate Arbitration Rules (“Appellate Rules”). An Award shall not be considered final until after the time for filing the notice of appeal pursuant to the Appellate Rules has expired. Appeals must be initiated within thirty (30) days of receipt of an Award by filing a notice of appeal with any AAA office. Following the appeal process, the decision rendered by the appeal tribunal may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, and despite any contrary provision of the Appellate Rules, Section 6.1 shall apply to any appeal pursuant to this Section 6.1 and the appeal tribunal shall not render an Award that would include shifting of any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of any party.

(8) Final Judgment. Following the expiration of the time for filing the notice of appeal, or the conclusion of the appeal process set forth in Section 6.1(7), an Award shall be final and binding upon the parties thereto and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between those parties relating to the Dispute, including any claims, counterclaims, issues or accounting presented to the arbitrators. Judgment upon an Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, no application or appeal to any court of competent jurisdiction may be made in connection with any question of law arising in the course of arbitration or with respect to any Award made, except for actions relating to enforcement of the agreements set forth in this Section 6.1 or any arbitral award issued hereunder and except for actions seeking interim or other provisional relief in aid of arbitration proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(9) Intended Beneficiaries. This Section 6.1 is intended to benefit and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective shareholders, stockholders, members, beneficial interest owners, direct and indirect parents, trustees, directors, officers, managers (including The RMR Group LLC or its parent and their respective successor), members, agents or employees and their respective successors and assigns and shall be binding on the parties, and such Persons and be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that such Persons may have by contract or otherwise.

6.3 Publicity.

Except as specified in Section 6.1, this Agreement is not intended and shall not be construed to create any rights in or to be enforceable in any part by any other Person.

6.7 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or deemed to be, or shall in fact be, invalid, inoperative or unenforceable as applied to any particular case in any jurisdiction or jurisdictions, or in all jurisdictions or in all cases, because of the conflict of any provision with any constitution or statute or rule of public policy or for any other reason, such circumstance shall not have the effect of rendering the provision or provisions in question invalid, inoperative or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction or in any other case or circumstance or of rendering any other provision or provisions herein contained invalid, inoperative or unenforceable to the extent that such other provisions are not themselves actually in conflict with such constitution, statute or rule of public policy, but this Agreement shall be reformed and construed in any such jurisdiction or case as if such invalid, inoperative or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein and such provision reformed so that it would be valid, operative and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted in such jurisdiction or in such case.

6.8 Counterparts, Etc. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Notwithstanding anything in the Existing Management Agreements, the Amended and Restated Management Agreements, Existing Pooling Agreement or the Amended and Restated Pooling Agreement, out of pocket costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees paid by a Sonesta Party pursuant to this Section 6.10 will not constitute “Invested Capital,” as defined in the Amended and Restated Management Agreements, or “Aggregate Invested Capital,” as defined in the Amended and Restated Pooling Agreement.

6.11 Section and Other Headings; Interpretation. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

The singular and plural use of a defined term shall have the correlative meaning. The words “including” and “include” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”

6.12 SVC NON-LIABILITY OF TRUSTEES. THE AMENDED AND RESTATED DECLARATION OF TRUST ESTABLISHING SVC, DATED AUGUST 21, 1995, AS AMENDED AND SUPPLEMENTED, AS FILED WITH THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF ASSESSMENTS AND TAXATION OF MARYLAND, PROVIDES THAT NO TRUSTEE, OFFICER, SHAREHOLDER, EMPLOYEE OR AGENT OF SVC SHALL BE HELD TO ANY PERSONAL LIABILITY, JOINTLY OR SEVERALLY, FOR ANY OBLIGATION OF, OR CLAIM AGAINST, SVC. ALL PERSONS DEALING WITH SVC IN ANY WAY SHALL LOOK ONLY TO THE ASSETS OF SVC FOR THE PAYMENT OF ANY SUM OR THE PERFORMANCE OF ANY OBLIGATION.

agreements of the parties in this Agreement shall survive until fully performed or terminated in accordance with their terms.

6.16 Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may only be brought against Sonesta Holdco or SVC, then in each case only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party. No trustee, director, officer, stockholder employee or agent of a Sonesta Party or an SVC Party shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of a Sonesta Party on the one hand, or an SVC Party, on the other hand, for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated or any breach or failure to perform hereunder.

6.17 Further Assurances. The parties shall use all reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, to do or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or advisable, and to execute and deliver such documents and other papers, as SVC may reasonably deem necessary or desirable, in each case at SVC’s sole expense, to effect the Transactions consistent with the requirements for SVC to maintain its qualification for taxation as a “real estate investment trust” under the Code.

Exhibit A The Site

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is executed as of February 27, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), by [Property Owner], [a Maryland corporation][a Maryland limited liability company] (“Owner”), and Sonesta International Hotels Corporation, a Maryland corporation (“Manager”).

R E C I T A L S:

A.[Property Landlord] (“Landlord”) is the owner of fee title to the real property (the “Site”) described on Exhibit A to this Agreement on which certain improvements have been constructed consisting of a building or buildings containing [ # of Rooms] Guest Rooms, and certain other amenities and related facilities (collectively, the “Building”). The Site and the Building, in addition to certain other rights, improvements, and personal property, are referred to as the “Hotel” and more particularly described in the definition in Section 12.01. Pursuant to the Lease, Landlord has leased the Hotel to Owner.

B. Owner and Manager have previously entered into a Management Agreement, dated as of [Date of Prior Management Agreement] (the “Initial Effective Date”), as amended, pursuant to which Owner engaged Manager to manage and operate the Hotel (the “Prior Management Agreement”). Manager and Owner desire to amend and restate the terms and provisions of the Prior Management Agreement in their entirety and replace them with the terms and provisions of this Agreement effective as of 12:01 a.m. on the Effective Date.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, Owner and Manager agree as follows:

Article I

APPOINTMENT OF MANAGER

1.01 Appointment. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Owner hereby engages Manager to supervise, direct and control the management and operation of the Hotel during the Term. Manager accepts such engagement and agrees to manage and operate the Hotel during the Term in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Hotel shall be known as [Property Name]. All capitalized terms shall have the meaning ascribed to them in Article XII.

1.02 Management of the Hotel.

A. The management and operation of the Hotel shall be under the exclusive supervision and control of Manager except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement. Manager shall manage and operate the Hotel in an efficient and economical manner consistent with standards prevailing in other hotels in the System, including all activities in connection therewith which are customary and usual to such an operation (provided, however, that if the market area or the physical peculiarities of the Hotel warrant, in the reasonable judgment of Manager, a deviation from such standards shall be permitted (the “Operating Standards”)). Manager shall, in accordance with the System Standards, the Operating Standards and the terms of this Agreement:

1. Recruit, employ, supervise, direct and (when appropriate) discharge the employees at the Hotel.

2. Establish Guest Room rates and prices, rates and charges for services provided in the Hotel.

10. Obtain and keep in full force and effect, either in its own name or in Owner’s and/or Landlord’s name, as may be required by applicable law, any and all licenses and permits to the extent within the control of Manager (or, if not within the control of Manager, Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and keep same in full force and effect).

11. Reasonably cooperate in a Sale of the Hotel or in obtaining a Mortgage.

12. On behalf of Owner, negotiate, enter into and administer leases, subleases, licenses and concession agreements for all public space at the Hotel (including all retail, office and lobby space and antenna leases on rooftop areas) and administer, comply with and arrange for extensions of any ground lease or common interest realty associations as necessary.

13. On behalf of Owner, negotiate, enter into and administer service contracts and licenses for the operation of the Hotel, including contracts and licenses for health and safety, systems maintenance, electricity, gas, telephone, cleaning, elevator and boiler maintenance, air conditioning maintenance, laundry and dry cleaning, master television service, internet service, use

14. Negotiate, enter into and administer contracts for the use of banquet and meeting facilities and Guest Rooms by groups and individuals.

15. Take reasonable action to collect and institute in its own name or in the name of Owner or the Hotel, in each instance as Manager in its reasonable discretion deems appropriate, legal actions or proceedings to collect charges, rent or other income derived from the operation of the Hotel or to oust or dispossess guests, tenants, members or other persons in possession therefrom, or to cancel or terminate any lease, license or concession agreement for the breach thereof or default thereunder by Owner, licensee or concessionaire.

16. Make representatives available to consult with and advise Owner, at Owner’s reasonable request, concerning policies and procedures affecting the conduct of the business of the Hotel.

17. Collect on behalf of Owner and account for and remit to governmental authorities all applicable excise, sales, occupancy and use taxes or similar governmental charges collected by or at the Hotel directly from guests, members or other patrons, or as part of the sales price of any goods, services or displays, such as gross receipts, admission or similar or equivalent taxes, duties, levies or charges.

18. Keep Owner advised of significant events which occur with respect to the Hotel which might reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial performance or value of the Hotel.

19. Perform such other tasks with respect to the Hotel as are customary and consistent with the Operating Standards and the System Standards.

B. Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements pertaining to its operation of the Hotel.

C. Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain all approvals necessary to use and operate the Hotel in accordance with the System Standards, Operating Standards and Legal Requirements.

D. Manager shall not use, and shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the use of, the Hotel and Owner’s Personal Property, if any, for any unlawful purpose. Manager shall not commit, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the commission of, any waste at the Hotel. Manager shall not use, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the use of, the Hotel in such a manner as will constitute an unlawful nuisance. Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the use of the Hotel in such a manner as might reasonably be expected to impair Owner’s or Landlord’s title thereto or any portion thereof or might reasonably be expected to give rise for a claim or claims for adverse

use or adverse possession by the public, or of implied dedication of the Hotel or any portion thereof.

1.03 Services Provided by Manager.

A. Manager shall furnish certain services, from time to time during the Term, which are furnished generally on a central or regional basis to other hotels in the System which are managed by Manager, and which benefit the Hotel as a participant in the System, such as: national sales office services; central operational support for rooms, food and beverage and engineering; central training services; career development; management personnel relocation; central safety and loss prevention services; central advertising and promotion (including direct and image media and advertising administration); consumer affairs to the extent not charged or allocated directly to the Hotel; the national reservations system service and inventory and revenue management services; centralized payroll and accounting services; computer system development, support and operating costs; and central monitoring and management support from “line management” personnel such as area managers.

Other than the charges for the national reservation system services, for which Manager receives the Reservation Fee, the Loyalty Program Fee and the Marketing Program Fee, the charges for the services listed in this Section 1.03.A. shall not be separately compensated and are included in the System Fee.

B. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if after Effective Date it is determined that there are central or regional services which may be furnished for the benefit of hotels in the System or in substitution for services now performed at individual hotels which may be more efficiently or effectively performed on a group basis, Manager shall furnish such services and Owner and Manager shall reasonably agree on the allocation of the costs thereof to the affected Hotels, which agreement shall be reflected in an approved Annual Operating Projection.

1.04 Employees.

A. All personnel employed at the Hotel shall at all times be the employees of Manager. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Manager shall have absolute discretion with respect to all personnel employed at the Hotel, including, without limitation, decisions regarding hiring, promoting, transferring, compensating, supervising, terminating, directing and training all employees at the Hotel, and, generally, establishing and maintaining all policies relating to employment; provided Manager shall not enter into any written employment agreements with any person which purport to bind Owner and/or purport to be effective regardless of a termination, without obtaining Owner’s consent. Manager shall comply with all Legal Requirements regarding labor relations; if either Manager or Owner shall be required, pursuant to any such Legal Requirement, to recognize a labor union or to enter into a collective bargaining with a labor union, the party so required shall promptly notify the other party. Manager shall have the authority to negotiate and settle labor union contracts with union employees and union representatives and Manager is authorized to settle labor disputes and administrative claims as may be routinely necessary in the daily management of the Hotel, provided Owner shall be given prompt notice of any negotiations which could reasonably be expected to result in contracts which would bind

Owner and shall be provided with any written materials in connection therewith and at least ten (10) days prior to execution of any contract or amendment. Manager shall indemnify Owner and Landlord for all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by either of them if either of them are joined in or made party to any suit or cause of action alleging that Manager has failed to comply with all Legal Requirements pertaining to the employment of Manager’s employees at the Hotel.

B. Manager shall have the authority to hire, dismiss or transfer the Hotel’s general manager, provided Manager shall keep Owner reasonably informed with respect to such actions.

D. Procurement and Construction Supervision Fee;

E. Loyalty Program Fee;

F. Marketing Program Fee; and

The Owner’s Priority shall be determined based upon Invested Capital most recently reported to Manager by Owner. If any installment of the Base Management Fee, the Reservation Fee, the System Fee or the Owner’s Priority is not paid when due, it shall accrue interest at the Interest Rate. Calculations and payments of the Incentive Management Fee and/or the Owner’s Residual Payment with respect to each calendar month within a calendar year shall be accounted for cumulatively based upon the year-to-date Operating Profit as reflected in the Monthly Statement for such calendar month and shall be adjusted to reflect distributions for prior calendar months in such year. Additional adjustments to all payments will be made on an annual basis based upon the Annual Operating Statement for the Year and any audit conducted pursuant to Section 4.02.B.

B. Subject to Section 3.03.C, if the portion of Gross Revenues to be distributed to Manager or Owner pursuant to Section 3.02 is insufficient to pay amounts then due in full, any amounts left unpaid shall be paid from and to the extent of Gross Revenues available therefor at the time distributions are made in successive calendar months until such amounts are paid in full, together with interest thereon, if applicable, and such payments shall be made from such available Gross Revenues in the same order of priority as other payments made on account of such items in successive calendar months.

C. Other than with respect to Reimbursable Advances, calculations and payments of the fees and other payments in Section 3.02 and distributions of Gross Revenues within a Year shall be accounted for cumulatively within a Year, but shall not be cumulative from one Year to the next.

ARTICLE IV

ACCOUNTING, BOOKKEEPING AND BANK ACCOUNTS; WORKING CAPITAL AND OPERATING LOSSES

4.01 Accounting, Interim Payment and Annual Reconciliation.

A. Within fifteen (15) days after the close of each calendar month, Manager shall deliver an accounting (the “Monthly Statement”) to Owner showing Gross Revenues, Gross Room Revenues, occupancy percentage and average daily rate, Deductions, Operating Profit, and applications and distributions thereof for the preceding calendar month and year-to-date.

Certificate setting forth the totals of Gross Revenues, Deductions, and the calculation of the Incentive Management Fee and Owner’s Residual Payment for the preceding Year and certifying that such Annual Operating Statement is true and correct. Manager and Owner shall, within ten (10) Business Days after Owner’s receipt of such statement, make any adjustments, by cash payment, in the amounts paid or retained for such Year as are required because of variances between the Monthly Statements and the Annual Operating Statement. Any payments shall be made together with interest at the Interest Rate from the date such amounts were due or paid, as the case may be, until paid or repaid. The Annual Operating Statement shall be controlling over the Monthly Statements and shall be final, subject to adjustments required as a result of an audit requested by Owner or Landlord pursuant to Section 4.02.B.

C. (%4) In addition, Manager shall provide such information relating to the Hotel and public information relating to Manager and its Affiliates that (a) may be reasonably required in order for Landlord, Owner or SVC, to prepare financial statements in accordance with GAAP or to comply with applicable securities laws and regulations and the SEC’s interpretation thereof, (b) may be reasonably required for Landlord, Owner or SVC, as applicable, to prepare federal, state or local tax returns, or (c) is of the type that Manager customarily prepares for other hotel owners. The foregoing does not constitute an agreement by Manager either to join Landlord, Owner or SVC, as applicable, in a filing with or appearance before the SEC or any other regulatory authority or to take or consent to any other action which would cause Manager to be liable to any third party for any statement or information other than those statements incorporated by reference pursuant to clause (a) above.

1. Owner may at any time, and from time to time, provide copies of any of the statements furnished under this Section 4.01 to any Person which has made or is contemplating making a Mortgage, or a prospective purchaser in connection with a Sale of the Hotel, subject to such Person entering into a confidentiality agreement with Manager as Manager may reasonably require.

2. In addition, Owner or Landlord shall have the right, from time to time at Owner’s or Landlord’s as the case may be, sole cost and expense, upon reasonable notice, during Manager’s customary business hours, to cause Manager’s books and records with respect to the Hotel to be audited by auditors selected by Owner or Landlord, as applicable, at the place or places where such books and records are customarily kept.

4.02 Books and Records.

A. Books of control and account pertaining to operations at the Hotel shall be kept on the accrual basis and in all material respects in accordance with the Uniform System of Accounts and with GAAP (provided that, to the extent of a conflict, GAAP shall control over the Uniform System of Accounts), or in accordance with such industry standards or such other standards with which Manager is required to comply from time to time, with the exceptions, if any, provided in this Agreement, to the extent applicable which will accurately record the Gross Revenues and the application thereof. Manager shall retain, for at least three (3) years after the expiration of each Year, reasonably adequate records showing Gross Revenues and the application thereof for such Year. The provisions of this Section 4.02.A shall survive termination.

B. Owner and Landlord may at reasonable intervals during Manager’s normal business hours, examine such books and records including, without limitation, supporting data and sales and excise tax returns. If Owner or Landlord desires, at its own expense, to audit, examine, or review the Annual Operating Statement, it shall notify Manager in writing within one (1) year after receipt of such statement of its intention to audit and begin such audit within such one (1) year after Manager’s receipt of such notice. Owner or Landlord, as the case may be, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete such audit as soon as practicable after the commencement thereof, subject to reasonable extension if Landlord’s or Owner’s accountant’s inability to complete the audit within such time is caused by Manager. If neither Landlord nor Owner makes such an audit, then such statement shall be deemed to be conclusively accepted by Owner as being correct, and neither Landlord nor Owner shall have any right thereafter, except in the event of fraud by Manager, to question or examine the same. If any audit by Owner or Landlord discloses an understatement or overpayment of any net amounts due Owner or Manager, Manager shall promptly after completion of the audit, render a statement to Owner and Landlord setting forth the adjustments required to be made to the distributions under Section 3.02 for such Year as a result of such audit and Owner and Manager, as the case may be, shall make any additional payments required to comply with such revised statement together with interest at the Interest Rate from the date when due or overpaid. Any dispute concerning the correctness of an audit shall be settled by arbitration. Manager shall pay the cost of any audit revealing understatement of Operating Profit by more than three percent (3%), and such amount shall not be a Deduction. The provisions of this Section 4.02.B shall survive termination.

4.03 Accounts. All funds derived from the operation of the Hotel shall be deposited by Manager in a bank account(s) in a bank designated by Manager. Withdrawals from such accounts shall be made solely by representatives of Manager whose signatures have been authorized. Reasonable petty cash shall be maintained at the Hotel.

4.04 Annual Operating Projection. Manager shall furnish to Owner for its review and comment, at least sixty (60) days prior to the beginning of each Year, a statement of the estimated financial results of the operation of the Hotel for the forthcoming Year (“Annual Operating Projection”). Such projection shall project the estimated Gross Revenues, Deductions, and Operating Profit. Manager agrees to make qualified personnel from Manager’s staff available to explain such Annual Operating Projections, at Owner’s request. Manager will at all times give good faith consideration to Owner’s suggestions regarding any Annual Operating Projection. Manager shall thereafter submit to Owner, by no later than January 2^nd of such Year, a modified Annual Operating Projection if any changes are made following receipt of comments from Owner. Manager shall endeavor to adhere to the Annual Operating Projection. It is understood, however, that the Annual Operating Projection is an estimate only and that unforeseen circumstances including the costs of labor, material, services and supplies, casualty, operation of law, or economic and market conditions may make adherence to the Annual Operating Projection impracticable, and Manager shall be entitled to depart therefrom due to causes of the foregoing nature; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed to authorize Manager to take any action prohibited by this Agreement or to reduce Manager’s other rights or obligations hereunder.

4.05 Working Capital. On the Initial Effective Date, Owner advanced to Manager, as Working Capital, an amount equal to [Full Service: $1,500 OR Limited Service: $750] multiplied by the number of Guest Rooms. Upon notice from Manager, Owner shall have the right, without any obligation and in its sole discretion, to advance additional funds necessary to maintain Working Capital (“Additional Working Capital”) at levels determined by Manager to be reasonably necessary to satisfy the needs of the Hotel as its operation may from time to time require within ten (10) Business Days of such request. Any such request by Manager shall be accompanied by a reasonably detailed explanation of the reasons for the request. If Owner does not advance such Additional Working Capital, Manager shall have the right, without any obligation and in its sole discretion, to fund Additional Working Capital within ten (10) Business Days after such initial ten (10) day period. All such advances shall be Owner Working Capital Advances or Additional Manager Advances, as applicable. If neither party elects to fund Additional Working Capital, Manager may elect, by notice to Owner given within thirty (30) days thereafter, to terminate this Agreement, which termination shall be effective thirty (30) days after the date such notice is given.

4.06 Operating Losses. To the extent there is an Operating Loss for any calendar month, Owner shall have the right, without any obligation and in its sole discretion, to fund such Operating Loss within twenty (20) days after Manager has delivered notice thereof to Owner and any Operating Loss funded by Owner shall be a “Owner Operating Loss Advance.” If Owner does not fund such Operating Loss, Manager shall have the right, without any obligation and in its sole discretion, to fund such Operating Loss within twenty (20) days after such initial twenty (20) day period, and any Operating Loss so funded by Manager shall be an Additional Manager Advance. If neither party elects to fund such Operating Loss, Manager may elect, by notice to Owner given within thirty (30) days thereafter, to terminate this Agreement, which termination shall be effective thirty (30) days after the date such notice is given.

The cost and expense incurred in connection with Manager’s obligations hereunder shall be paid either from Gross Revenues or Working Capital or from funds provided by Owner or Landlord, as the case may be.

5.02 Repairs and Maintenance to be Paid from Gross Revenues. Manager shall promptly make or cause to be made, such routine maintenance, repairs and minor alterations as it determines are necessary to comply with Manager’s obligations under Section 5.01. The phrase “routine maintenance, repairs, and minor alterations” shall include only those which are normally expensed under GAAP. The cost of such maintenance, repairs and alterations shall be paid from Gross Revenue or Working Capital.

5.03 Repairs and Maintenance to be Paid by Owner or Landlord. To the extent funds are provided by Owner or Landlord under Section 5.05, Manager shall promptly make or cause to be made, all of the items listed below as are necessary to comply with Manager’s obligations under Section 5.01:

1. Replacements, renewals and additions related to the FF&E;

5.05 Capital Estimate.

A. Manager shall prepare and deliver to Owner and Landlord for their review and approval, at the same time the Annual Operating Projection is submitted, an estimate for the Hotel of the capital expenditures necessary during the forthcoming Year for replacements, renewals, and additions to the FF&E of the Hotel and repairs, renovations, additions, alterations, improvements, renewals or replacements to the Hotel of the nature described in Section 5.03 (a “Capital Estimate”). Manager agrees to make qualified personnel from Manager’s staff available to explain each Capital Estimate, at Owner’s request. Failure of Owner or Landlord to approve or disapprove a Capital Estimate within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt of all information and materials requested by Owner or Landlord in connection therewith shall be deemed to constitute approval.

B. If any dispute shall arise with respect to the approval by either Owner or Landlord of a Capital Estimate, Manager shall meet with Owner and Landlord to discuss the objections, and Manager, Owner and Landlord shall attempt in good faith to resolve any disagreement relating to the Capital Estimate. If after sixty (60) days such disagreement has not been resolved, any party may submit the issue to arbitration.

C.

D. A failure or refusal by Owner or Landlord to provide the additional funds required under an approved Capital Estimate (including after resolution by arbitration, if applicable) shall entitle Manager, at its option, to notify Owner and Landlord that Manager will terminate this Agreement. If Owner or Landlord does not make the funds available within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice of intent to terminate, Manager may, without obligation and in its sole discretion, fund all or a portion of the amounts required and any amounts funded by Manager shall constitute an Additional Manager Advance, or elect to terminate this Agreement by notice to Owner given within thirty (30) days thereafter and this Agreement shall terminate as of the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of Owner’s receipt of Manager’s notice.

6.02 Waiver of Subrogation. Owner and Manager agree that (insofar as and to the extent that such agreement may be effective without invalidating or making it impossible to secure insurance coverage from responsible insurance companies doing business in the State) with respect to any property loss which is covered by insurance then being carried by Owner or Manager, the party carrying such insurance and suffering said loss releases the others of and from any and all claims with respect to such loss; and they further agree that their respective insurance companies (and, if Owner or Manager shall self insure in accordance with the terms hereof, Owner or Manager, as the case may be) shall have no right of subrogation against the other on account thereof, even though extra premium may result therefrom.

6.03 Risk Management. Manager shall be responsible for the provision of risk management oversight at the Hotel.

6.04 Damage and Repair.

TAXES

7.01 Real Estate and Personal Property Taxes.

A. Subject to Section 11.18 relating to permitted contests, Manager shall pay, from Gross Revenues, all Impositions with respect to the Hotel, before any fine, penalty, interest or cost (other than any opportunity cost as a result of a failure to take advantage of any discount for early payment) may be added for non-payment, such payments to be made directly to the taxing authorities where feasible, and shall promptly, upon request, furnish to Landlord and Owner copies of official receipts or other reasonably satisfactory proof evidencing such payments.

C. The entering of an order, judgment or decree by any court of competent jurisdiction, on the application of a creditor, adjudicating Manager as bankrupt or insolvent or approving a petition seeking reorganization or appointing a receiver, trustee, or liquidator of all or a substantial part of Manager’s assets, and such order, judgment or decree’s continuing unstayed and in effect for an aggregate of sixty (60) days (whether or not consecutive).

At Owner’s election, the failure of Manager to perform, keep or fulfill any of the other covenants, undertakings, obligations or conditions set forth in this Agreement, on or before the date required for the same, which failure continues for thirty (30) days after notice from Owner, or, if the Manager Event of Default is susceptible of cure, but such cure cannot be accomplished within such thirty (30) day period, if Manager fails to commence the cure of such Manager Event of Default within fifteen (15) days of such notice or thereafter fails to diligently pursue such efforts to completion, provided in no event shall such additional time exceed ninety (90) days.

F. At Owner’s election, the failure of Manager to maintain insurance coverages required to be maintained by Manager under Article VI, which failure continues for five (5) Business Days after notice from Owner (except that no notice shall be required if any such insurance coverage shall have lapsed).

9.02 Remedies for Manager Events of Default.

A. In the event of a Manager Event of Default, Owner shall have the right to: (1) terminate this Agreement by notice to Manager, which termination shall be effective as of the date set forth in the notice, which shall be at least thirty (30) days after the date of the notice; (2) institute any and all proceedings permitted by law or equity, including, without limitation, actions for specific performance and/or damages; or (3) avail itself of any remedy described in this Section 9.02.

B. None of (i) the termination of this Agreement in connection with a Manager Event of Default, (ii) the repossession of the Hotel or any portion thereof, (iii) the failure of Owner to engage a replacement manager, nor (iv) the engagement of any replacement manager for all or any portion of the Hotel, shall relieve Manager of its liability and obligations hereunder, all of which shall survive any such termination, repossession or engagement. In the event of any termination of this Agreement as a result of a Manager Event of Default, Manager shall forthwith pay to Owner all amounts due and payable through and including the date of such termination. Thereafter, Manager shall be liable to Owner for, and shall pay to Owner, as current damages, the amounts which Owner would have received hereunder for the remainder of the Term had such termination not occurred, less the net amounts, if any, received from a replacement manager, after deducting all reasonable expenses in connection with engaging such replacement, including, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, attorneys’ fees, advertising, expenses of employees, alteration costs and expenses of preparation for such engagement and in the case of Owner’s Priority and Owner’s Residual Payment, calculated based upon the average of each of such payments made in each of the three (3) calendar years ended prior to the date of termination. Manager shall pay such current damages to Owner as soon after the end of each calendar month as practicable to determine the amounts.

Residual Payment if this Agreement had not been terminated, calculated based upon the average of each of such payments made in each of the three (3) calendar years ended prior to the date of termination, discounted at an annual rate equal to the Discount Rate. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall, however, limit or prejudice the right of Owner to prove and obtain in proceedings for bankruptcy or insolvency an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, the damages are to be proved, whether or not the amount be greater than, equal to, or less than the amount of the loss or damages referred to above.

D. In case of any Manager Event of Default resulting in Manager being obligated to vacate the Hotel, Owner may (i) engage a replacement manager for the Hotel or any part or parts thereof, either in the name of Owner or otherwise, for a term or terms which may at Owner’s option, be equal to, less than or exceed the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term and may grant concessions or other accommodations to the extent that Owner reasonably considers advisable and necessary to engage such replacement manager(s), and (ii) may make such reasonable alterations, repairs and decorations in the Hotel or any portion thereof as Owner, in its sole and absolute discretion, considers advisable and necessary for the purpose of engaging a replacement manager for the Hotel; and the making of such alterations, repairs and decorations shall not operate or be construed to release Manager from liability hereunder. Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, Owner shall in no event be liable in any way whatsoever for any failure to engage a replacement manager for the Hotel, or, in the event a replacement manager is engaged, for failure to collect amounts due Owner. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Manager hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted under any present or future laws in the event of Manager being evicted or dispossessed, or in the event of Owner obtaining possession of the Hotel, by reason of the occurrence and continuation of a Manager Event of Default hereunder. Owner covenants and agrees, in the event of any termination of this Agreement as a result of a Manager Event of Default, to use reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages.

E. Any payments received by Owner under any of the provisions of this Agreement during the existence or continuance of a Manager Event of Default shall be applied to Manager’s current and past due obligations under this Agreement in such order as Owner may determine or as may be prescribed by applicable law.

F. If a Manager Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Owner, after notice to Manager (which notice shall not be required if Owner shall reasonably determine immediate action is necessary to protect person or property), without waiving or releasing any obligation of Manager and without waiving or releasing any Manager Event of Default, may (but shall not be obligated to), at any time thereafter, make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of Manager, and may, to the maximum extent permitted by law, enter upon the Hotel or any portion thereof for such purpose and take all such action thereon as, in Owner’s sole and absolute discretion, may be necessary or appropriate therefor. No such entry shall be deemed an eviction of Manager or result in the termination hereof. All reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Owner in connection therewith, together with interest thereon (to the extent permitted by law) at the Overdue Rate from the date such sums are paid by Owner until repaid, shall be paid by Manager to Owner, on demand.

9.03 Owner Events of Default. Each of the following shall constitute an “Owner Event of Default” to the extent permitted by applicable law:

A. The filing by Owner or SVC of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or a petition for reorganization under any bankruptcy law, or the admission by Owner that it is unable to pay its debts as they become due, or the institution of any proceeding by Owner for its dissolution or termination.

B. The consent by Owner or SVC to an involuntary petition in bankruptcy or the failure to vacate, within ninety (90) days from the date of entry thereof, any order approving an involuntary petition by Owner.

C. The entering of an order, judgment or decree by any court of competent jurisdiction, on the application of a creditor, adjudicating Owner or SVC as bankrupt or insolvent or approving a petition seeking reorganization or appointing a receiver, trustee, or liquidator of all or a substantial part of Owner’s or SVC’s assets, and such order, judgment or decree’s continuing unstayed and in effect for an aggregate of sixty (60) days (whether or not consecutive).

D. At Manager’s option, the failure of Owner to make any payment required to be made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement on or before the due date which failure continues for five (5) Business Days after notice from Manager.

E. At Manager’s option, the failure of Owner to perform, keep or fulfill any of the other covenants, undertakings, obligations or conditions set forth in this Agreement which failure continues for thirty (30) days after notice from Manager, or, if the Owner Event of Default is susceptible of cure, but such cure cannot be accomplished within such thirty (30) day period, if Owner fails to commence the cure of such Owner Event of Default within fifteen (15) days of such notice or thereafter fails to diligently pursue such efforts to completion, provided that in no event shall such additional time exceed ninety (90) days.

F. The occurrence of an event of default beyond any applicable notice and cure period under any obligation, agreement, instrument or document which is secured in whole or in part by Owner’s or Landlord’s interest in the Hotel or the acceleration of the indebtedness secured thereby or the commencement of a foreclosure thereunder.

9.04 Remedies for Owner Events of Default.

A. In the event of an Owner Event of Default, Manager shall have the right to institute any and all proceedings permitted by law or equity, including, without limitation, actions for specific performance and/or damages, provided except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Manager shall have no right to terminate this Agreement by reason of an Owner Event of Default.

Owner, which termination shall be effective as of the date set forth in the notice, which shall be at least thirty (30) days after the date of the notice. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall, however, limit or prejudice the right of Manager to prove and obtain in proceedings for bankruptcy or insolvency an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, the damages are to be proved, whether or not the amount be greater than, equal to, or less than the amount of the loss or damages referred to above.

D. Manager shall (to the extent permitted by law) assign to Owner or its designee all operating licenses and permits for the Hotel which have been issued in Manager’s name (including liquor and restaurant licenses, if any).

If Gross Revenues are insufficient to meet the requirements of such escrow fund, then Manager shall have the right to withdraw the amount of such expenses from Working Capital or any other funds of Owner with respect to the Hotel held by or under the control of Manager. Owner or its designee shall have the right to offer employment to any employee whom Manager proposes to terminate and Manager shall cooperate with Owner in connection therewith.

11.11 Waiver. The failure of either party to insist upon a strict performance of any of the terms or provisions of the Agreement, or to exercise any option, right or remedy contained in this Agreement, shall not be construed as a waiver or as a relinquishment for the future of such term, provision, option, right or remedy, but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect. No waiver by either party of any term or provision hereof shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing and signed by such party.

11.12 Partial Invalidity. If any portion of this Agreement shall be declared invalid by order, decree or judgment of a court, or otherwise, this Agreement shall be construed as if such portion had not been so inserted except when such construction would operate as an undue hardship on Manager or Owner or constitute a substantial deviation from the general intent and purpose of the parties as reflected in this Agreement.

11.13 Survival. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the rights and obligations of the parties herein shall not survive any termination of this Agreement.

11.14 Negotiation of Agreement. Each of Manager and Owner is a business entity having substantial experience with the subject matter of this Agreement and has fully participated in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. Accordingly, this Agreement shall be construed without regard to the rule that ambiguities in a document are to be construed against the draftsman. No inferences shall be drawn from the fact that the final, duly executed Agreement differs in any respect from any previous draft hereof.

11.15 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with any other agreements or writings signed by the parties that expressly state they are supplemental to, or supercede any provision of, this Agreement, and together with any instruments to be executed and delivered pursuant to this Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties as of the Effective Date and supersedes all prior understandings and writings, and may be changed only by a writing signed by the parties hereto.

If the party (or parties) fail(s) to select the second (2^nd) arbitrator by that time, the party (or parties) who have appointed the first (1^st) arbitrator shall then have ten (10) days to select one (1) of the three (3) arbitrators proposed by the AAA to be the second (2^nd) arbitrator; and, if they should fail to select the second (2^nd) arbitrator by such time, the AAA shall select, within fifteen (15) days thereafter, one (1) of the three (3) arbitrators it had proposed as the second (2^nd) arbitrator.

An Arbitration Award shall not be considered final until after the time for filing the notice of appeal pursuant to the Appellate Rules has expired. Appeals must be initiated within thirty (30) days of receipt of an Arbitration Award by filing a notice of appeal with any AAA office. Following the appeal process, the decision rendered by the appeal tribunal may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

A.

Manager shall not be liable if such reasonably requested actions, once implemented, fail to have the desired result of qualifying Landlord’s rental income from Owner under the Lease as “rents from real property” pursuant to Sections 856(d)(2), 856(d)(8)(B) and 856(d)(9) of the Code. This Section 11.26.A shall not apply in situations where an Adverse Regulatory Event has occurred; instead, Section 11.27 shall apply.

11.27 Adverse Regulatory Event. In the event of an Adverse Regulatory Event arising from or in connection with this Agreement, Owner and Manager shall work together in good faith to amend this Agreement to eliminate the impact of such Adverse Regulatory Event. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Adverse Regulatory Event” means any time that a law, statute, ordinance, code, rule or regulation imposes upon Owner (or could impose upon Owner in Owner’s reasonable opinion), any material threat to either Landlord’s or Landlord’s Affiliate’s status as a “real estate investment trust” under the Code or to the treatment of amounts paid to Landlord as “rents from real property” under Section 856(d) of the Code. Each of Manager and Owner shall inform the other of any Adverse Regulatory Event of which it is aware and which it believes likely to impair compliance of any of the Hotel with respect to the aforementioned sections of the Code.

Manager will prepare or cause to be prepared all tax returns required in the operation of the Hotel, which include payroll, sales and use tax returns, personal property tax returns and business, professional and occupational license tax returns. Manager shall timely file or cause to be filed such returns as required by the State; provided that, Owner shall promptly provide all relevant information to Manager upon request, and any late fees or penalties resulting from delays caused by Owner shall be borne by Owner. Manager shall not be responsible for the preparation of Landlord’s or Owner’s federal or state income tax returns, provided Manager shall cooperate fully with Owner and Landlord as may be necessary to enable Owner or Landlord to file such federal or state income tax returns, including by preparing data reasonably requested by Owner or Landlord and submitting it to Owner or Landlord, as applicable, as soon as reasonably practicable following such request.

11.29 Third Party Beneficiaries. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the respective successors, heirs, legal representatives or permitted assigns of each of the parties hereto and except for Landlord and SVC, which are intended third party beneficiaries, no Person other than the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns is intended to be a beneficiary of this Agreement.

So long as no Manager Event of Default shall have occurred, the FF&E Reserves may be applied by Manager, without the consent of Owner, only to the payment of any capital expenditure in an approved Capital Estimate; provided, not more than Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) may be expended by Manager in a given year for any single item to be charged against any discretionary or contingency line item in a Capital Estimate without the prior written consent of Owner, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

C. In addition to the FF&E Reserve Deposit, other than Owner’s or Manager’s personal property, all materials or FF&E which are scrapped or removed in connection with the making of any major or non-major repairs, renovation, additions, alterations, improvements, removals or replacements shall be disposed of by Manager and the net proceeds thereof shall be deposited into the FF&E Reserve Account and not included in Gross Revenues.

D. Manager shall be the only Party entitled to withdraw funds from the FF&E Reserve Account unless and until a Manager Event of Default shall occur. Following the occurrence of a Manager Event of Default, Manager shall not have the right to withdraw funds from the FF&E Reserve Account without Owner’s prior written consent.

E. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Manager shall disburse to Owner or Landlord, or as Owner or Landlord shall direct, all remaining FF&E Reserves after payments of all expenses on account of capital expenditures incurred by Manager pursuant to an approved Capital Estimate during the Term in accordance with this Agreement.

5.05 Capital Estimate.

A. If at any time the FF&E Reserves shall be insufficient to fund capital expenditures which are set forth in the approved Capital Estimate, Manager shall give Owner and Landlord written notice thereof, which notice shall not be given more often than monthly and shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the nature of the required expenditure, the estimated cost thereof (including the amount which is in excess of the then FF&E Reserves) and such other information with respect thereof as Owner or Landlord may reasonable require. Provided that no Manager Event of Default then exists, and Manager shall otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 5.06, as applicable, Owner shall, within ten (10) Business Days after such notice is given, deposit (or shall cause Landlord to deposit) into the FF&E Reserve Account such funds as are required to fund the amounts set forth in such notice and necessary to fund such capital expenditures in an approved Capital Estimate. Invested Capital shall be adjusted for funds deposited by Owner or Landlord in the FF&E Reserve Account pursuant to this Section 5.05 effective as of the date such funds are deposited.

C. A failure or refusal by Owner or Landlord to provide the additional funds required under an approved Capital Estimate (including after resolution by arbitration, if applicable) shall entitle Manager, at its option, to notify Owner and Landlord that Manager will terminate this Agreement. If Owner or Landlord does not make the funds available within thirty (30) days after

receipt of such notice of intent to terminate, Manager may, without obligation and in its sole discretion, fund all or a portion of the amounts required and any amounts funded by Manager shall constitute an Additional Manager Advance, or elect to terminate this Agreement by notice to Owner given within thirty (30) days thereafter and this Agreement shall terminate as of the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of Owner’s receipt of Manager’s notice; upon such termination, Owner shall pay Manager the Termination Fee, within sixty (60) days of the effective date of termination, as liquidated damages and in lieu of any other remedy of Manager at law or in equity and such termination shall otherwise be in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.09.

5.06 Additional Requirements.

A. All expenditures from the FF&E Reserves or other amounts funded pursuant to the Capital Estimate shall be (as to both the amount of each such expenditure and the timing thereof) both reasonable and necessary given the objective that the Hotel will be maintained and operated to a standard comparable to competitive properties and in accordance with the System Standards.

5.07 Ownership of Replacements. All repairs, renovations, additions, alterations, improvements, renewals or replacements made pursuant to this Agreement and all FF&E Reserves, shall, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, be the property of Landlord or Owner, as applicable, as provided under the Lease.

6.03 Risk Management. Manager shall be responsible for the provision of risk management oversight at the Hotel.

6.04 Damage and Repair.

1. If the amount of insurance proceeds received by Landlord and Owner plus the deductible amount, is less than the cost of the repair or restoration of the Hotel, Manager shall give notice to Owner and Landlord setting forth the deficiency in reasonable detail. Owner shall have the right, without any obligation and in its sole discretion, to fund the deficiency and shall give Manager and Landlord notice within twenty (20) days after notice from Manager.

C. If Owner is required or if Owner or Landlord elects to make the funds necessary to cause the Hotel to be repaired and restored available to Manager, Owner shall (or shall cause Landlord to) advance the insurance proceeds and any additional amounts payable by Owner or Landlord to Manager regularly during the repair and restoration period. Any such advances shall be made not more frequently than monthly within ten (10) Business Days after Manager submits to Owner a written requisition and substantiation therefor on AIA Forms G702 and G703 (or on such other form or forms as may be reasonably acceptable to Owner and Landlord). Owner or Landlord may condition advancement of the insurance proceeds and other amounts on (i) the absence of an event of default under the Lease, (ii) approval of plans and specifications of an architect satisfactory to Landlord and Owner (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (iii) general contractors’ estimates, (iv) architect’s certificates, (v) unconditional lien waivers of general contractors, if available, (vi) evidence of approval by all governmental authorities and other regulatory bodies whose approval is required and (vii) such other certificates as Landlord and Owner may, from time to time, reasonably require.

E. Manager hereby waives any statutory rights of termination which may arise by reason of any damage to or destruction of the Hotel.

6.05 Damage Near End of Term. Notwithstanding any provisions of Section 6.04 to the contrary, if damage to or destruction of the Hotel occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Term (including any exercised Renewal Term) and if such damage or destruction cannot reasonably be expected to be fully repaired and restored prior to the date that is nine (9) months prior to the end of the Term (including any exercised Renewal Term), the provisions of Section 6.04.A shall apply as if the Hotel had been totally or partially destroyed and rendered Unsuitable for Its Permitted Use.

6.06 Condemnation. If, during the Term, either the whole of the Hotel shall be taken by Condemnation, or a partial Condemnation renders the Hotel Unsuitable for Its Permitted Use, this Agreement shall terminate and Owner and Landlord shall seek the Award for their interests in the Hotel as provided in the Lease. In addition, Manager shall have the right to initiate such proceedings as it deems advisable to recover any damages to which Manager may be entitled; provided, however, that Manager shall be entitled to retain any Award it may obtain through such proceedings which are conducted separately from those of Owner and Landlord only if such Award does not reduce the Award otherwise available to Owner and Landlord. Any Award received by any Mortgagee under a Mortgage on the Hotel shall be deemed to be an award of compensation received by Landlord.

6.08 Temporary Condemnation. In the event of any temporary Condemnation of the Hotel or Owner’s interest therein, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. The entire amount of any Award made for such temporary Condemnation allocable to the Term, whether paid by way of damages, rent or otherwise, shall be paid to Manager and shall constitute Gross Revenues. A Condemnation shall be deemed to be temporary if the period of such Condemnation is not expected to, and does not, exceed twelve (12) months.

6.10 Effect of Condemnation. Any Condemnation which does not result in a termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms with respect to the Hotel shall not

excuse the payment of sums due to Owner hereunder with respect to the Hotel and this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

DEFAULTS

9.01 Manager Events of Default. Each of the following shall constitute a “Manager Event of Default”:

9.02 Remedies for Manager Events of Default.

A. In the event of a Manager Event of Default, Owner shall have the right to: (1) terminate this Agreement by notice to Manager, which termination shall be effective as of the

date set forth in the notice, which shall be at least thirty (30) days after the date of the notice; (2) institute any and all proceedings permitted by law or equity, including, without limitation, actions for specific performance and/or damages; or (3) avail itself of any remedy described in this Section 9.02.

In the event of any termination of this Agreement as a result of a Manager Event of Default, Manager shall forthwith pay to Owner all amounts due and payable through and including the date of such termination. Thereafter, Manager shall be liable to Owner for, and shall pay to Owner, as current damages, the amounts which Owner would have received hereunder for the remainder of the Term (including any Renewal Terms) had such termination not occurred, less the net amounts, if any, received from a replacement manager, after deducting all reasonable expenses in connection with engaging such replacement, including, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, attorneys’ fees, advertising, expenses of employees, alteration costs and expenses of preparation for such engagement and in the case of Owner’s Priority and Owner’s Residual Payment, calculated based upon the average of each of such payments made in each of the three (3) calendar years ended prior to the date of termination. Manager shall pay such current damages to Owner as soon after the end of each calendar month as practicable to determine the amounts.

C. At any time after such termination, whether or not Owner shall have collected any amounts owing and due up to and including the date of termination of this Agreement, as liquidated final damages and in lieu of Owner’s right to receive any other damages due to the termination of this Agreement, at Owner’s election, Manager shall pay to Owner an amount equal to the present value of the payments which have been made to Owner between the date of termination and the scheduled expiration of the Term (including any Renewal Terms) as Owner’s Priority and the Owner’s Residual Payment if this Agreement had not been terminated, calculated based upon the average of each of such payments made in each of the three (3) calendar years ended prior to the date of termination, discounted at an annual rate equal to the Discount Rate. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall, however, limit or prejudice the right of Owner to prove and obtain in proceedings for bankruptcy or insolvency an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, the damages are to be proved, whether or not the amount be greater than, equal to, or less than the amount of the loss or damages referred to above.

Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, Owner shall in no event be liable in any way whatsoever for any failure to engage a replacement manager for the Hotel, or, in the event a replacement manager is engaged, for failure to collect amounts due Owner. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Manager hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted under any present or future laws in the event of Manager being evicted or dispossessed, or in the event of Owner obtaining possession of the Hotel, by reason of the occurrence and continuation of a Manager Event of Default hereunder. Owner covenants and agrees, in the event of any termination of this Agreement as a result of a Manager Event of Default, to use reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages.

9.03 Owner Events of Default. Each of the following shall constitute an “Owner Event of Default” to the extent permitted by applicable law:

continuing unstayed and in effect for an aggregate of sixty (60) days (whether or not consecutive).

B. Upon the occurrence of an Owner Event of Default pursuant to any of Sections 9.03.A, 9.03.B or 9.03.C, or which arises with respect to a violation by Owner or Landlord of Section 10.02 with respect to a Sale of the Hotel, Manager shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein, the right to terminate this Agreement by notice to Owner, which termination shall be effective as of the date set forth in the notice, which shall be at least thirty (30) days after the date of the notice. At any time after such termination, whether or not Manager shall have collected any amounts owing and due up to and including the date of termination of this Agreement, as liquidated final damages and in lieu of Manager’s right to receive any other damages due to the termination of this Agreement, at Manager’s election, Owner shall pay to Manager the Termination Fee. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall, however, limit or prejudice the right of Manager to prove and obtain in proceedings for bankruptcy or insolvency an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, the damages are to be proved, whether or not the amount be greater than, equal to, or less than the amount of the loss or damages referred to above.

11.09 Actions to be Taken Upon Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement:

A. Manager shall, within ninety (90) days after termination of this Agreement, prepare and deliver to Owner a final accounting statement (“Final Statement”) with respect to the Hotel, consistent with the Annual Operating Statement, along with a statement of any sums due Manager as of the date of termination. Within thirty (30) days of the receipt by Owner of such Final Statement, the parties will make any adjustments, by cash payment, in the amounts paid or retained as are needed because of the figures set forth in the Final Statement. Any payments shall be made together with interest at the Interest Rate from the date such amounts were due or paid, as the case may be, until paid or repaid. If any dispute shall arise with respect to the Final Statement which cannot be resolved by the parties within the thirty (30) day period, it shall be settled by arbitration, provided however, that any cash adjustments relating to items which are not in dispute shall be made within the thirty (30) day period. The cost of preparing the Final Statement shall be a Deduction, unless the termination occurs as a result of a Manager Event of Default or an Owner Event of Default, in which case the defaulting party shall pay such cost. Manager and Owner acknowledge that there may be certain adjustments for which the information will not be available at the time of the Final Statement and the parties agree to readjust such amounts and make the necessary cash adjustments when such information becomes available, provided, however, that all accounts shall be deemed final as of the second (2^nd) anniversary of the date of termination.

G. Owner or its designee shall have the right to operate the improvements on the Site without modifying the architectural design, notwithstanding the fact that such design or certain features thereof may be proprietary to Manager and/or protected by trademarks or service marks held by Manager or an Affiliate, provided that such use shall be confined to the Site.

Owner or its designee shall have the right to offer employment to any employee whom Manager proposes to terminate and Manager shall cooperate with Owner in connection therewith.

J. Manager shall peacefully vacate and surrender the Hotel to Owner.

The provisions of this Section 11.09 shall survive termination.

Except as provided in Section 11.09.E and 11.09.G, upon termination of this Agreement, any use of any of the Trade Names, or any of the Sonesta trademarks, service marks, other trade names, symbols, logos or designs at the Hotel shall cease and Owner shall promptly remove from the Hotel any signs or similar items which contain any of the Trade Names, trademarks, service marks, other trade names, symbols, logos or designs. If Owner has not removed such signs or similar items within ten (10) Business Days, Manager shall have the right to do so. The cost of such removal shall be a Deduction. Included under the terms of this Section 11.10 are all trademarks, service marks, trade names, symbols, logos or designs used in conjunction with the Hotel, including restaurant names, lounge names, etc., whether or not the marks contain the “Sonesta” name. The right to use such trademarks, service marks, trade names, symbols, logos or designs belongs exclusively to Manager, and the use thereof inures to the benefit of Manager whether or not the same are registered and regardless of the source of the same. The provisions of this Section 11.10 shall survive termination.

11.13 Survival. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the rights and obligations of the parties herein shall not survive any termination of this Agreement.

11.16 Affiliates. Manager shall be entitled to contract with companies that are Affiliates (or companies in which Manager has an ownership interest if such interest is not sufficient to make such a company an Affiliate) to provide goods and/or services to the Hotel; provided that the prices and/or terms for such goods and/or services are competitive. Additionally, Manager may contract for the purchase of goods and services for the Hotel with third parties that have other contractual relationships with Manager and its Affiliates, so long as the prices and terms are competitive. In determining whether such prices and/or terms are competitive, they will be compared to the prices and/or terms which would be available from reputable and qualified parties for goods and/or services of similar quality, and the goods and/or services which are being purchased shall be grouped in reasonable categories, rather than being compared item by item. Any dispute as to whether prices and/or terms are competitive shall be settled by arbitration. The prices paid may include overhead and the allowance of a reasonable return to Manager’s Affiliates (or companies in which Manager has an ownership interest if such interest is not sufficient to make such a company an Affiliate), provided that such prices are competitive. Owner acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to any purchases of goods and/or services pursuant to this Section 11.16, Manager’s Affiliates may retain for their own benefit any allowances, credits, rebates, commissions and discounts received with respect to any such purchases.

For the avoidance of doubt, and not as a limitation, Disputes are intended to include derivative actions against the trustees, directors, officers or managers of a party and class actions by a holder of equity interests against those Persons and a party. For the avoidance of doubt, a Dispute shall include a Dispute made derivatively on behalf of one party against another party.

B. Selection of Arbitrators. There shall be three (3) arbitrators. If there are only two (2) parties to the Dispute, each party shall select one (1) arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after receipt by respondent of a copy of a demand for arbitration. Such arbitrators may be affiliated or interested persons of such parties. If there are more than two (2) parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand, shall each select, by the vote of a majority of the claimants or the respondents, as the case may be, one (1) arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a demand for arbitration. Such arbitrators may be affiliated or interested persons of the claimants or the respondents, as the case may be. If either a claimant (or all claimants) or a respondent (or all respondents) fail(s) to timely select an arbitrator then the party (or parties) who has selected an arbitrator may request the AAA to provide a list of three (3) proposed arbitrators in accordance with the Rules (each of whom shall be neutral, impartial and unaffiliated with any party) and the party (or parties) that failed to timely appoint an arbitrator shall have ten (10) days from the date the AAA provides such list to select one (1) of the three (3) arbitrators proposed by the AAA. If the party (or parties) fail(s) to select the second (2^nd) arbitrator by that time, the party (or parties) who have appointed the first (1^st) arbitrator shall then have ten (10) days to select one (1) of the three (3) arbitrators proposed by the AAA to be the second (2^nd) arbitrator; and, if they should fail to select the second (2^nd) arbitrator by such time, the AAA shall select, within fifteen (15) days thereafter, one (1) of the three (3) arbitrators it had proposed as the second (2^nd) arbitrator. The two (2) arbitrators so appointed shall jointly appoint the third (3^rd) and presiding arbitrator (who shall be neutral, impartial and unaffiliated with any party) within fifteen (15) days of the appointment of the second (2^nd) arbitrator. If the third (3^rd) arbitrator has not been appointed within the time limit specified herein, then the AAA shall provide a list of proposed arbitrators in accordance with the Rules, and the arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with a listing, striking and ranking procedure, with each party having a limited number of strikes, excluding strikes for cause.

C. Location of Arbitration. Any arbitration hearings shall be held in Boston, Massachusetts, unless otherwise agreed by the parties, but the seat of arbitration shall be Maryland.

Upon termination, each party shall, on request, within the time period described above, execute and deliver to the non-certifying party and to any such third party a statement certifying that this Agreement has been terminated.
