Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 25, 2011, we entered into a new management agreement, or the new management agreement, to combine, extend the term and make other revisions to our hotel management contracts with subsidiaries of InterContinental Hotels Group, plc, or IHG. Prior to the new management agreement, 129 of these hotels were leased to one of our wholly owned taxable reit subsidiaries and managed by IHG under four separate management contracts and one hotel in San Juan, Puerto Rico, was leased by IHG. IHG will continue to lease this hotel. We will receive payments of owner’s priority returns and rents totaling $153.1 million per year from IHG, which is equal to the amounts of owner’s priority returns and rents due to us under the previous agreements.

For more information about our agreements with IHG, refer to our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 (including sections captioned “Business — Principal Management Agreement and Lease Features,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Management Agreements and Leases,” “Liquidity and Capital Resources — Our Managers and Tenants” and “—Property Management Agreements, Leases and Operating Statistics”), as updated by our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2011 (including the sections captioned “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Overview — Management Agreements and Leases,” “—Liquidity and Capital Resources — Our Managers and Tenants” and “—Management Agreements, Leases and Operating Statistics”). Our filings with the SEC, including our annual report and our quarterly report referred to above, are available at the SEC’s website: www.sec.gov.

The terms of the new management agreement include:

· The term of the new management agreement extends to 2036. In addition, IHG has the option to renew the new management agreement for two consecutive 15 year terms. If exercised, these renewal options must be exercised for all of the hotels then included in the new management agreement.

· As of June 30, 2011, the security deposit held by us totaled $27.6 million. This security deposit will continue to secure payment of our owner’s priority returns and rents. In addition, IHG has delivered to us $37 million to supplement this security deposit resulting in a total security deposit of $64.6 million.

· The security deposit for our future owner’s priority returns and rents may be further increased up to $100 million from 50% of the cash flows realized from operations of the hotels under the new management agreement after payment of our owner’s priority returns and rents. We will hold all security deposits without interest or escrow.

· The cash flows in excess of amounts used to pay our owner’s priority returns and rents and to fund the security deposit are available to pay IHG’s management fees to agreed amounts, which continue to be subordinated to our owner’s priority returns and rents.

· Available cash flows after our owner’s priority returns and rents, funding for the security deposit and the agreed management fees are available to pay additional returns to us and for incentive fees to IHG.

· We and IHG have identified 42 of the 130 hotels which may be removed from the new management agreement by us and rebranded or offered for sale. If these hotels are removed from the new management agreement and rebranded, the owner’s priority return and rents to us will be reduced by amounts which have been agreed to by us and IHG. If these hotels are sold, the owner’s priority returns and rents due to us will be reduced by 8% per annum of the net sales proceeds received by us. In addition to these 42 hotels, one hotel previously managed by IHG was sold on July 19, 2011. We received net sales proceeds of approximately $7 million and the owner’s priority returns and rents to us was reduced by 8% per annum of the sales proceeds to the current amount of $153.1 million per year.

· We and IHG have committed to a renovation program for all of the hotels included in the new management agreement pursuant to which we expect to invest approximately $300 million. The final amounts invested will depend upon the number of hotels which we determine to rebrand or sell and remove from the new management agreement. As we fund these renovations, the amounts of our owner’s priority returns and rents will increase by 8% per annum of the amounts we invest. Some of the capital required for these renovations may be provided by hotel sales, but the timing of our renovation fundings and receipts of sales proceeds will likely differ.

· The new management agreement requires that up to 5% of gross revenues from all the hotels be escrowed for hotel maintenance and periodic refurbishment after the planned renovations being separately funded by us are completed. These escrows will be required beginning in 2014 and increase to 5% of gross revenues in 2016. These escrowed funds will be available on a pooled basis to fund renovations for any of our owned hotels managed by IHG.

· The new management agreement is effective as of July 1, 2011.

The foregoing description of the new management agreement is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the new management agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference.

WARNING CONCERNING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

THIS CURRENT REPORT CONTAINS STATEMENTS WHICH CONSTITUTE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 AND OTHER FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS. WHENEVER WE USE WORDS SUCH AS “BELIEVE”, “EXPECT”, “ANTICIPATE”,

“INTEND”, “PLAN”, “ESTIMATE”, OR SIMILAR EXPRESSIONS, WE ARE MAKING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS. THESE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS ARE BASED UPON OUR CURRENT INTENT, BELIEFS OR EXPECTATIONS, BUT FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS ARE NOT GUARANTEED TO OCCUR AND MAY NOT OCCUR FOR VARIOUS REASONS, SOME OF WHICH ARE BEYOND OUR CONTROL. FOR EXAMPLE:

· THIS CURRENT REPORT STATES THAT IHG HAS DELIVERED $37 MILLION TO INCREASE THE DEPOSIT WHICH SECURES OUR PRIORITY RETURNS AND RENTS AND THAT THE TOTAL SECURITY DEPOSIT MAY BE INCREASED TO $100 MILLION. AN IMPLICATION OF THESE STATEMENTS MAY BE THAT WE ARE ASSURED OF RECEIVING OUR OWNER’S PRIORITY RETURNS AND RENTS. IN FACT, DURING THE PAST THREE YEARS, OUR HOTELS MANAGED BY IHG HAVE NOT GENERATED SUFFICIENT CASH FLOW TO PAY OUR PRIORITY RETURNS AND RENTS. IHG HAS PAID $125 MILLION PURSUANT TO ITS GUARANTEE OF OUR PRIORITY RETURNS AND RENTS AND THE HISTORICAL SECURITY DEPOSIT HELD BY US HAS BEEN REDUCED FROM $36.9 MILLION TO $27.6 MILLION AS OF JUNE 30, 2011. WE CAN PROVIDE NO ASSURANCE THAT THE ENLARGED SECURITY DEPOSIT PAID BY IHG OR WHICH MAY BE CREATED WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO ENSURE FUTURE PAYMENTS OF OUR PRIORITY RETURNS AND RENTS FROM THE HOTELS MANAGED BY IHG. THE OPERATING RESULTS AT OUR HOTELS WHICH ARE MANAGED BY IHG DEPEND ON IHG’S ABILITY TO SUCCESSFULLY OPERATE THE HOTELS AND, IN LARGE PART, UPON GENERAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, BOTH OF WHICH ARE BEYOND OUR CONTROL.

· THIS CURRENT REPORT STATES THAT WE WILL INVEST APPROXIMATELY $300 MILLION TO FUND RENOVATIONS TO OUR HOTELS MANAGED BY IHG. THE COSTS OF HOTEL RENOVATIONS ARE DIFFICULT TO ESTIMATE. ONCE A RENOVATIONS PROJECT IS BEGUN, IT OFTEN MUST BE FINISHED FOR THE HOTEL TO EFFECTIVELY OPERATE. COST OVERRUNS MAY OCCUR FOR MANY DIFFERENT REASONS, MOST OF WHICH ARE BEYOND OUR CONTROL. ALSO, AS STATED IN THIS CURRENT REPORT, THE FINAL AMOUNTS INVESTED IN OUR HOTELS MANAGED BY IHG WILL DEPEND UPON THE NUMBER OF HOTELS WHICH WE DETERMINE TO REBRAND OR SELL AND REMOVE FROM THE NEW MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT. ACCORDINGLY, THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT THE PLANNED RENOVATIONS WILL BE COMPLETED FOR $300 MILLION.

· THIS CURRENT REPORT STATES THAT THE NEW MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT REQUIRES THAT AN INCREASING AMOUNT UP TO 5% OF GROSS REVENUES FROM ALL OF OUR HOTELS MANAGED BY IHG TO BE ESCROWED FOR PERIODIC REFURBISHMENTS BEGINNING IN 2014 AFTER THE CURRENTLY PLANNED RENOVATIONS. AN IMPLICATION OF THIS STATEMENT MAY BE THAT THIS ESCROW WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO FUND FUTURE CAPITAL NEEDS AT THESE HOTELS. WE BELIEVE THAT THE 5% RATE IS AT OR ABOVE AMOUNTS WHICH ARE GENERALLY REQUIRED TO BE ESCROWED UNDER

MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS IN THE HOTEL INDUSTRY. NONETHELESS, OUR EXPERIENCE IS THAT THIS ESCROW AMOUNT MAY NOT BE SUFFICIENT TO PAY ALL COSTS OF MAINTAINING HOTELS TO BRAND STANDARDS OR OTHERWISE IN A MANNER WHICH IS ATTRACTIVE TO HOTEL CUSTOMERS. ALSO, NO REFURBISHMENT ESCROWS ARE REQUIRED IN THE NEW MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT DURING THE PERIOD OF RENOVATIONS FUNDED BY US THROUGH 2013 AND LESS THAN 5% OF GROSS REVENUE WILL BE REQUIRED BEFORE 2016. ACCORDINGLY, WE MAY PERIODICALLY INVEST ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS TO MAINTAIN THE HOTELS.

THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN OUR FILINGS WITH THE SEC, INCLUDING UNDER “RISK FACTORS” IN OUR PERIODIC REPORTS, IDENTIFIES OTHER IMPORTANT FACTORS THAT COULD CAUSE ACTUAL RESULTS TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE IN OR IMPLIED BY OUR FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS. OUR FILINGS WITH THE SEC ARE AVAILABLE ON ITS WEBSITE AT WWW.SEC.GOV.

YOU SHOULD NOT PLACE UNDUE RELIANCE UPON FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS.

EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY LAW, WE DO NOT INTEND TO UPDATE OR CHANGE ANY FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AS A RESULT OF NEW INFORMATION, FUTURE EVENTS OR OTHERWISE.

2.6 Sale of Designated, Non-Economic and Removed Hotels.

(a) Designated Hotels. Manager and Owner have agreed that the Hotels listed on Schedule 2.6(a) (the “Designated Hotels”) may be marketed by Owner for third party sale. Manager shall cooperate with Owner in the compilation of relevant information, marketing and other matters related to the offering for sale of

the Designated Hotels. The Designated Hotels may be marketed free and clear of any franchise or management agreement from Manager or its Affiliates; provided, however, at the request of Owner or any offeree, Manager will, or will cause an Affiliate to, provide the offeree a franchise and/or management agreement on its standard terms and conditions for the Brand under which the applicable Designated Hotel is operated, subject to Manager’s or the applicable Affiliate’s standard approval process. Owner shall have the exclusive right to sell any or all of the Designated Hotels prior to June 30, 2012 for such price, and upon such other terms and conditions as Owner shall, in its sole discretion, determine. Anything in this Section 2.6 to the contrary notwithstanding, if prior to February 28, 2012, Owner has not elected to retain the Designated Hotel identified as “Crowne Plaza-Hilton Head” on Schedule 2.6(a) pursuant to Section 2.6(d), or such Hotel has not been sold, if Owner has received, bona fide third party offer(s) which it does not wish to accept, Owner shall elect to treat such Hotel as a Retained Hotel, or if no bona fide third party offer has been received, Owner shall elect to retain such Hotel under Section 2.6(d)(Alternative Retained Hotel).

(b) Sale Process. If a Designated Hotel is marketed for sale in accordance with Section 2.6(a) (Designated Hotels) and Owner receives an offer therefor which it wishes to accept, it shall give Manager prompt notice thereof, which notice shall include a copy of the offer. Owner shall also provide Manager not less than sixty (60) days prior written notice of the anticipated or scheduled date of closing of the sale. Effective as of the date of sale: (i) the Term shall terminate with respect to such Hotel, (ii) the Owner’s First Priority shall be reduced by an annual amount equal to eight percent (8.0%) of the net proceeds of sale received by Owner after reduction for the costs and expenses of the sale, and (iii) with respect to such Hotels as Owner and Manager agree, the Owner’s Second Priority shall be reduced by one-half percent (0.5%) of the net proceeds of sale received by Owner after reduction for the costs and expenses of the sale.

(c) Retained Hotels. If a Designated Hotel is marketed for third party sale in accordance with Section 2.6(a) (Designated Hotels) and Owner receives a bona fide third party offer(s) it does not wish to accept, Owner may elect, by notice to Manager, either to: (i) retain such Designated Hotel free and clear of any contractual obligations of any franchise or management agreement from Manager or its Affiliates (a “Retained Hotel”) or (ii) treat the Designated Hotel as an Unsold Hotel

under Section 2.6(h) (Unsold Hotels). If Owner elects to treat such Designated Hotel as a Retained Hotel, effective sixty (60) days after the date of Owner’s notice to Manager: (x) the Term shall terminate with respect to such Hotel, (y) the Owner’s First Priority shall be reduced by an annual amount equal to eight percent (8.0%) of the price in the highest bona fide third party offer received, after reduction for any amounts actually expended and any costs which would reasonably have been expected to have been expended if a sale had been consummated, and (z) with respect to such Hotels as Owner and Manager agree, the Owner’s Second Priority shall be reduced by one-half percent (0.5%) of the price in the highest bona fide third party offer received, after reduction for any amounts actually expended and any costs which would reasonably have been expected to have been expended if a sale had been consummated.

(d) Alternative Retained Hotel. By notice to Manager, given prior to June 30, 2012, Owner may, in its discretion, determine not to market any or all Designated Hotel(s) for third party sale and to retain such Designated Hotel(s) free and clear of any contractual obligations of any franchise or management agreement from Manager or its Affiliates. If Owner makes such an election, effective sixty (60) days after the date of Owner’s notice to Manager: (i) the Term shall terminate with respect to such Hotel(s), (ii) the Owner’s First Priority shall be reduced by an amount equal to eight percent (8.0%) of a price agreed by Owner and Manager after reduction for any amounts actually expended and any costs which would reasonably have been expected to have been expended if the sale had been consummated, and (iii) with respect to such Hotels as Owner and Manager agree, Owner’s Second Priority shall be reduced by one half percent (0.5%) of a price agreed by Owner and Manager after reduction for any amounts actually expended and any costs which would reasonably have been expected to have been expended if the sale had been consummated.

(e) Non-Economic Hotels. Either Owner or Manager shall be entitled to designate as a Non-Economic Hotel any Hotel the Gross Revenues of which, in two (2) out of any three (3) consecutive full Fiscal Years during the Term, are insufficient to pay the sum of all Operating Costs and, beginning January 1, 2014, all amounts to be funded to the Reserve Account pursuant to Section 5.2 (Reserve Account) with respect to such Hotel, provided the number of additional Hotels which may be designated as Non-Economic Hotels shall not exceed twenty five (25). Upon designation as a Non-Economic Hotel, such Hotel shall be marketed by Owner for third party sale as though it were a

Designated Hotel pursuant to the processes in Sections 2.6(a) and (b) (Designated Hotels and Sale Process). If Owner receives a bona fide third party offer(s) it does not wish to accept, Owner shall retain such Non-Economic Hotel free and clear of any contractual obligations of any franchise or management agreement from Manager or its Affiliates. If Owner retains such Non-Economic Hotel, effective on the last day of the twelfth calendar month following the date such Hotel was designated as a Non-Economic Hotel, such Hotel shall be treated as having been purchased by Owner as a Retained Hotel under Section 2.6(c)(Retained Hotels) (Retained Hotels), including the same reduction in Owner’s First Priority and Owner’s Second Priority as provided in Section 2.6(c) (Retained Hotels). If Owner does not receive any offer within twelve (12) calendar months of the date such Hotel was designated a Non-Economic Hotel, it shall give notice to Manager and Manager shall have the right to purchase such Hotel at the original cost to Owner of such Hotel, by notice given to Owner within thirty (30) days after the last day of the twelfth calendar month following the date such Hotel was designated a Non-Economic Hotel. If Manager does not so elect, Owner may elect either to have such Hotel treated as having been purchased by Owner as a Retained Hotel under Section 2.6(c) (Retained Hotels), provided the reductions in Owner’s First Priority and Owner’s Second Priority shall be as provided in Section 2.6(c) (Retained Hotels), calculated based upon the original cost to Owner of such Hotel after reduction for any amounts actually expended and any costs which would reasonably have been expected to have been expended if the sale had been consummated, or to treat such Hotel as an Unsold Hotel under Section 2.6(h)(Unsold Hotels).

(f) Removed Hotels. Owner may, at any time prior to June 30, 2012, elect to remove any of the Hotels listed on Schedule 2.6(f) (the “Removed Hotels”) from further management by Manager under this Agreement by notice given to Manager. If Owner elects to treat a Removed Hotel as having been so removed, it shall retain such Removed Hotel free and clear of any contractual obligations of any franchise or management agreement from Manager or its Affiliates and effective sixty (60) days after Owner’s notice to Manager identifying the Hotel(s): (i) the Term shall terminate with respect to such Hotel(s), (ii) the Owner’s First Priority shall be reduced by an amount with respect to such Hotel(s) agreed by Owner and Manager, and (iii) with respect to such Hotels as Owner and Manager shall agree, the Owner’s Second Priority shall be reduced by an amount agreed by Owner and Manager.

(g) Cooperation. Manager shall provide Owner reasonable cooperation in connection with the rebranding and/or marketing and sale of any Designated Hotel (which shall include a Retained Hotel), any Non-Economic Hotel, and/or the removal of any Removed Hotel (each a “Transferred Hotel”) and shall, without limitation: (i) prepare such operational and historical financial information and insurance loss experience history (by line of coverage) with respect to any Transferred Hotel(s) as Owner may request, (ii) pending sale, removal or rebranding, continue to manage the Transferred Hotels as required by this Agreement in all respects, and (iii) subject to Legal Requirements, cooperate with Owner in a good faith, reasonable manner on sale and transition matters generally, which cooperation may include taking such action and signing such reasonable documentation and agreements with, or for the benefit of, Owner or a new owner or a new manager designated by Owner or such new owner, as Owner may reasonably request to support an orderly sale or transition of the Transferred Hotels.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.6 (Sale of Designated, Non-Economic and Removed Hotels) above, after a Hotel is contracted for sale, after a Hotel is designated a Retained Hotel, after Owner has elected to retain a Hotel under Section 2.6(d) or a Removed Hotel is removed and the Term of this Agreement and the Owner’s First Priority and Owner’s Second Priority are reduced, upon notice given by Owner to Manager, Manager shall continue to manage such Hotel(s) for a period of up to an additional sixty (60) days (or in the case of the Designated Hotel identified as the “Crowne Plaza-Hilton Head” in Schedule 2.6(a), such longer period as Owner may request, but not later than December 31, 2012) for purposes of assisting Owner to transition the Hotel(s) operations to a Successor and Manager will receive a management fee equal to three percent (3%) of Gross Revenues at the affected Hotel(s) during such period.

(h) Unsold Hotels. Manager shall develop, for Owner’s approval, a Scope and Estimate for Capital Replacements for (i) any Designated Hotels which have not been sold prior to June 30, 2012, or which are under agreement for sale prior to June 30, 2012 and not actually sold prior to September 30, 2012, (ii) any Non-Economic Hotels which are not sold within twelve (12) calendar months of the date they were so designated, or which are under agreement for sale within twelve (12) calendar months of the date they were so designated and not actually sold within fifteen (15) calendar months after the date they were so designated, and which are not purchased by Manager or treated as

having been purchased by Owner as a Retained Hotel, (iii) any Hotels listed on Schedule 2.6(f) which are not designated to be removed from this Agreement prior to June 30, 2012 and, (iv) in the case of a Designated Hotel or Non-Economic Hotel which is treated as an Unsold Hotel (each, an “Unsold Hotel”). The Scope and Estimate shall be consistent with the Scope and Estimate for the Hotels listed in Schedule 5.4, and upon approval, Owner shall supplement the Reserve Account with amounts up to the amounts agreed to in the Scope and Estimate. The work shall be performed, meetings held, the Scope and Estimate revised, and funds advanced as though the Capital Replacements contemplated by this Section 2.6(h) were Approved Renovations under Section 5.4.

(i) Purchase by Affiliate. With respect to any right of Manager to purchase a Hotel under Section 2.6 (Sale of Designated, Non-Economic and Removed Hotels) or Section 24.16 (Adverse Canadian Event), if Manager determines to exercise such right, it shall cause the purchase to be made by an Affiliate (but not a Subsidiary) of Manager.

2.7 No Early Termination of Manager; Nature of Relationship etc.

(a) Except as provided in Section 2.6 (Sale of Designated, Non-Economic and Removed Hotels), so long as this Agreement is in full force and effect and Owner is not entitled pursuant to the terms hereof to terminate this Agreement in its entirety, Owner covenants and agrees not to hire, engage, appoint or employ any other manager to manage any Hotel for any period prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Term with respect to such Hotel. Except as provided in Section 2.6 (Sale of Designated, Non-Economic and Removed Hotels), any otherwise applicable principles of law notwithstanding, it is Owner’s intent and agreement that Manager shall manage each Hotel pursuant to this Agreement through the Term so long as this Agreement is in full force and effect with respect to such Hotel.

(b) Owner shall provide appropriate asset management services with respect to the Hotels at no cost or expense to Manager (and shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Manager in order to keep all ground, underlying and parking leases in full force and effect). The costs and expenses incurred by Owner in connection with providing such asset management services shall not be Operating Costs. Owner shall, from time to time, upon the request of Manager, provide Manager with the name, telephone number, fax number and email address of the individual responsible for providing such asset management services. Manager will cooperate with and assist Owner in every reasonable and proper way to permit Owner to carry out its duties and exercise its rights hereunder with respect to the Hotels.

respective Affiliates are free to own, lease, manage, engage in or license other business activities, including activities involving transient lodging and related activities. Nothing herein or otherwise shall prevent Manager, Owner or their respective Affiliates from owning, leasing, managing or licensing other facilities, and Manager, Owner and their respective Affiliates may own, lease, manage, engage in or license any business activity at any other location whether or not competing with the Hotels, without the consent or approval of, or liability to, the other and without offering the other any opportunity to participate therein. Each party hereby waives any claim or cause of action, of whatever nature and however derived, relating to or arising in any way out of the other’s ownership, leasing, licensing or management of any other hotel or commercial property wherever located.

2.8 Additional Services. Any fees for services not included in the Management Fees for the Hotels shall be consistent with the fees established for similar types of hotels managed by Manager or its Affiliates.

(A) this Agreement and Manager’s rights hereunder are subject and subordinate to the Authorized Mortgage, the lien thereof, the rights of the holder thereof and to any and all advances made thereunder, interest thereon or costs incurred in connection therewith;

(B) so long as this Agreement is in full force and effect and there exists no Manager Default which has not been cured within any applicable notice or grace period, Manager’s rights under this Agreement shall not be disturbed by reason of such subordination or by reason of foreclosure of such Authorized Mortgage or receipt of deed in lieu of foreclosure;

In connection with entering into such separate management agreement, the parties shall make such allocations of Owner’s Fixed Priority, amounts in the Reserve Account, the Working Capital, and any outstanding advances made by Owner, Manager or their respective Affiliates as may be reasonably required.

4.4 Sale of a Hotel to an Affiliate. In the event of a sale or transfer of Landlord’s interest in any Hotel to an Affiliate of Landlord with such Affiliate assuming Landlord’s obligations under the Lease, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect without regard to such sale or transfer.

4.6 The Lease. The Lease shall not be amended or modified in any way which would materially increase Manager’s obligations hereunder or materially reduce its rights hereunder. In the event of a conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of the Lease, the terms hereof shall govern.

Manager represents that as of the Effective Date the Hotels, in the aggregate, have cash or cash equivalents in amounts reasonably sufficient to pay Operating Costs for such Hotels for the first thirty (30) days of operation following the Effective Date after taking into account Gross Revenues collected from patrons, guests and others of, or at, the Hotels (the “Initial Working Capital”).

After the first thirty (30) days following the Effective Date, upon written request from Manager, Owner may, but shall not be obligated to, advance any additional funds, over and above the Initial Working Capital necessary to pay Operating Costs and/or GST required to be paid by Owner (but not Owner’s First Priority or Owner’s Second Priority) as they come due, provided if, at any time following the occurrence of a fire, or other casualty, and/or other insured property loss of the type insured against pursuant to Section 13.1, Working Capital is insufficient to permit Manager to effect repairs contemplated by Section 7.7 (Emergency Repairs), Owner shall advance additional funds as are required to effect such repairs as Working Capital, and Owner shall be entitled to receive and retain all insurance proceeds as may be paid in respect of such casualty. Any such request by Manager shall be accompanied by a reasonably detailed explanation of the reasons for the request. All funds so advanced for Working Capital shall be utilized by Manager to pay Operating Costs and/or GST as they come due. If Owner does not advance such additional Working Capital within five (5) Business Days after notice, Manager, as its exclusive remedy, shall have the right either to (i) advance such additional Working Capital or (ii) terminate this Agreement on ten (10) days’ advance written notice to Owner; provided, however, such notice of termination shall be void ab initio if Owner advances the requested funds necessary to pay Operating Costs and/or GST

prior to the end of the tenth (10th) day after the receipt of such termination notice. Any advances so made by Owner or Manager shall be repaid from and to the extent necessary to be repaid in full out of Operating Profit first realized for the Hotel(s) in question in the accounting periods following the accounting period during which the advances were made. If Manager fails to either make such advance or give notice of termination within such ten (10) day period, then at any time after the expiration of such five (5) Business Days, Owner may elect by written notice to Manager to terminate this Agreement, which termination shall be effective on the date designated in such notice. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, the Working Capital of the Hotels shall be applied to pay all Operating Costs, such GST and all amounts owed to Owner to the extent Gross Revenues are insufficient. Thereafter, Manager shall be entitled to retain the remaining Working Capital to the extent funds therefor were previously provided by Manager. The balance of the Working Capital shall belong to Owner. All refunds and (the cash equivalents of) any input credits in respect of GST paid from Working Capital shall remain part of the Working Capital. In addition, Owner and Manager hereby agree that the Working Capital for the Designated Hotels, Removed Hotels and Non-Economic Hotels, as of the date of sale, will be $0.

5.2 Reserve Account.

(a) Manager shall establish a single Reserve Account as of the Effective Date, to be funded with the combined amounts remaining in the reserve accounts established in the Original Management Agreements. Manager shall transfer from the Bank Accounts to the Reserve Account in cash, on or before the 25th day of each Fiscal Month, the Reserve Percentage times the Gross Revenues at each Hotel for the prior Fiscal Month. The amount to be contributed to the Reserve Account on account of the Gross Revenues of the Canadian Hotels shall be calculated using Canadian dollars but shall be contributed to the Reserve Account in United States dollars in accordance with Section 24.23 (Currency). Subject to the terms of Section 5.4 (Refurbishment Fund) and 5.2(f), amounts in the Reserve Account are to pay for Capital Replacements undertaken after the Effective Date required to maintain any and all of the Hotels in accordance with the Operating Standards and the Brand Standards; provided, however, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no additional cost or expense shall be incurred or paid in connection with any Capital Replacements made during the last two (2) years of the Term to the extent attributable solely

to complying with the Brand Standards. The amounts so paid into the Reserve Account shall be recorded on the Hotels’ books of account as “Reserve for FF&E Replacements.” Except for the amounts supplementing the Reserve Account for Approved Renovations pursuant to Section 5.4 (Refurbishment Fund), until the expiration of the Refurbishment Period, no expenditures for Capital Replacements during any Fiscal Year may be made from the Reserve Account with respect to any Designated Hotel, Non-Economic Hotel (from and after the date of designation) or any Removed Hotel without Owner’s approval, which may be withheld in Owner’s discretion, other than (i) Repairs constituting routine maintenance items, (ii) Repairs required to comply with Insurance Requirements or Legal Requirements, and (iii) emergency repairs as described in and subject to Section 7.7 (Emergency Repairs). After the Refurbishment Period, for all Hotels subject to this Agreement, (A)expenditures for Capital Replacements contemplated by Section 2.6(h) (Unsold Hotels) or which have been approved in the yearly Capital Replacements Budget, and (B) Repairs required to comply with Brand Standards, Operating Standards, Insurance Requirements and Legal Requirements, and (C) emergency repairs as described in and subject to Section 7.7 (Emergency Repairs), may be made from the Reserve Account without Owner’s approval. Any amounts remaining in the Reserve Account at the close of each Fiscal Year will be carried forward and retained in the Reserve Account. Any and all portions of the Hotels which are scrapped or removed in connection with the making of any major or non-major repairs, renovations, additions, alterations, improvements, removals or replacements at the Hotels shall be disposed of by Manager and any net proceeds thereof shall be deposited in the Reserve Account and not included in Gross Revenues. In addition, any proceeds from the sale of FF&E no longer necessary to the operation of the Hotels and any refunds or (the cash equivalents of) input credits attributable to GST paid with funds from the Reserve Account shall be added to the Reserve Account. Manager shall be entitled to use funds in the Reserve Account to make approved Capital Replacements at any and all of the Hotels regardless of the Hotel from which such funds originate. To the extent that the cost of any such Capital Replacements are to be paid for in a currency other than United States dollars, Manager shall exchange an appropriate portion of the funds in the Reserve Account into such other currency at the best rates and terms commercially available to Manager at the time of such exchange for such purpose on or about the date such funds are withdrawn from the Reserve Account and applied to pay such costs in accordance with Manager’s general practice for Capital

Replacements. All costs of such exchange shall be Operating Costs.

(b) Subject to the terms of Section 5.9 (Pooled Reserves), Manager shall be the only party entitled to withdraw funds from the Reserve Account until a Manager Default shall occur.

(c) Subject to the terms of Section 5.2(e), if, at any time beginning three (3) years after the end of the Refurbishment Period, with respect to the Hotels set forth on Schedule 5.4, or three (3) years after renovations under Section 2.6(h)(Unsold Hotels) are completed with respect to Hotels described therein, the funds in the Reserve Account shall be insufficient for Capital Replacements which are set forth in the then current approved Capital Replacements Budget or required to comply with the Operating Standards, Brand Standards, Insurance Requirements or Legal Requirements, with respect to the Hotels which were renovated, Manager shall give Owner written notice thereof, which notice shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the nature of the required action, the estimated cost thereof (including the amount which is in excess of the amount of funds in such Reserve Account) and such other information with respect thereto as Owner may reasonably require. Provided that there is then no uncured Manager Default, Owner shall, within twenty (20) Business Days after such notice, disburse (or cause Landlord to disburse) such required funds to Manager for deposit into the Reserve Account. In such event, Owner’s First Priority shall be adjusted as provided for herein in the definition of Owner’s First Priority.

(d) If Owner shall fail to disburse (or cause Landlord to disburse) funds to Manager for deposit into the Reserve Account in violation of Section 5.2(c), which failure continues for five (5) Business Days after the giving of notice from Manager to Owner, then, in addition to Manager’s other remedies hereunder or under the HPT Guaranty, Manager shall be entitled, but not obligated, to deposit in the Reserve Account the amount of funds which Owner so failed to disburse.

(e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if Owner advises Manager that, in Owner’s opinion, the fair market value of all personal property of Landlord at, about or which forms a part of a Hotel is equal to or exceeds thirteen and one-half percent (13.5%) of the fair market value of all property of Landlord pertaining to such Hotel (including all such personal property, the Building and the underlying land or ground lease), Manager and its Affiliates shall not use funds from the Reserve Accounts to purchase additional personal

property for use at, about or as part of such Hotel, without Owner’s prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in Owner’s sole and absolute judgment.

(f) Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Manager shall disburse to Landlord, or as Landlord shall direct, all amounts remaining in the Reserve Account after payments of all expenses on account of Capital Replacements appropriately incurred by Manager during the Term.

5.3 Additional Requirements for Reserve. All expenditures from the Reserve Account shall be (as to both the amount of each such expenditure and the timing thereof) both reasonable and necessary given the objective that the Hotels will be maintained and operated to a standard comparable to competitive properties and in accordance with the Operating Standards and the applicable Brand Standards.

5.4 Refurbishment Fund. Between the Effective Date and December 31, 2013 (the “Refurbishment Period”), Owner agrees to supplement the Reserve Account with the amounts that Owner and Manager shall agree upon for the Capital Replacements at the Hotels listed in Schedule 5.4 (the “Approved Renovations”), the aggregate cost of which Owner and Manager estimate will be approximately $300,000,000. Manager shall develop, for Owner’s approval, a scope of work and cost estimate for the Approved Renovations at each Hotel listed on Schedule 5.4 (the “Scope and Estimate”). After Owner and Manager have agreed to the Scope and Estimate for the Approved Renovations at a Hotel and as the Approved Renovations work progresses, Owner shall fund the amount reflected in such Scope and Estimate into the Reserve Fund or directly to the program or project manager, as Manager directs, based on draw schedules approved by Owner and Manager, as hereinafter provided. Manager shall separately account for all such deposits for Approved Renovations. Manager shall review and approve for payment all draw requests and third party invoices and, subject to receipt of lien waivers, together with such other documentation as Owner may reasonably request, request Owner to fund such draw request directly to the payee(s) thereof or deposit the amount thereof in the Reserve Account, whereupon Manager will withdraw such amounts from the Reserve as are required to pay approved invoices. Owner shall have no liability for, and Manager shall not pay, any costs of the Approved Renovations in excess of those set forth in the relevant Scope and Estimate. Owner and Manager shall meet not less than once per month (which meeting may take place by conference telephone call, internet enabled meeting, or similar electronic means) to review each Scope and Estimate for the Approved Renovations and any updates or revisions thereto and the progress of the Approved Renovations.

Manager may elect upon notice to Owner to fund the Reserve Account from time to time for Approved Renovations on an interim basis, and Owner shall reimburse Manager for any such fundings by Manager within thirty (30) days after receipt of invoices and draw requests from Manager detailing such fundings by Manager. In any case, prior to funding amounts into the Reserve Account, Owner shall have the right to review and approve any updates or revisions to the Scope and Estimate. Owner shall also have the right to review plans and specifications of architects, general contractors’ estimates, architect’s certificates, copies of permits and other evidence of approval by governmental authorities and other regulatory bodies whose approval is required. Additionally, Manager’s selection of general contractors and procurement agents shall be subject to Owner’s written approval, which approval shall, consistent with this Agreement, not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and in any case, Owner agrees to act on such approvals in a manner necessary to maintain the timetable for completion of the work. The foregoing notwithstanding, Manager shall control and supervise the work of the contractors and agents involved in performing the work of the Approved Renovations.

5.5 Material Repairs. Prior to making any Material Repair, Manager shall submit, to Owner in writing, a proposal setting forth, in reasonable detail, the proposed Material Repair and shall provide to Owner such plans and specifications, and such permits, licenses, contracts and such other information concerning the same as Owner may reasonably request. Owner shall have twenty (20) Business Days to approve or disapprove all materials submitted to Owner in connection with any such proposal; provided, however, subject to compliance by Manager with the requirements of this Section 5.5, Owner may not withhold its approval of a Material Repair with respect to such items as are (A) required in order for the Hotels to comply with applicable Brand Standards (except during the last two (2) years of the Term as set forth in Section 5.2(a) or for a period ending three (3) years after the end of the Refurbishment Period) or Operating Standards; or (B) required by reason of or under any Insurance Requirement or Legal Requirement, or otherwise required for the continued safe and orderly operation of each Hotel. If Owner fails to disapprove of such Material Repair within such twenty (20) Business Days, Owner shall be deemed to have approved same.

5.6 Ownership of Replacements. All Capital Replacements made pursuant to this Agreement and all amounts in the Reserve Account or to be advanced hereunder from time to time shall be

the property of Owner or Landlord, as applicable, as provided under the Lease.

5.7 Manager Reserve Advances. Manager shall have the right to propose certain Capital Replacements which are not part of any Capital Replacements Budget or required by the Operating Standards or the Brand Standards which Manager reasonably believes would maximize the profit potential of one or more of the Hotels, and the right, but not the obligation, to ask Owner to fund such Capital Replacements. If Manager requests, but Owner does not agree to provide funds for the same, and Owner shall have no obligation to do so, or if Manager does not request Owner to provide funds, Manager shall nevertheless have the right to contribute to the Reserve Account the cost of the same and cause such Capital Replacements to be made. In such case, Manager shall not be entitled to reimbursement of such funds.

5.8 No Additional Contributions. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, neither Owner nor Landlord shall, under any circumstances, be required to, or provide funds to, build or rebuild any improvement at the Hotel, or make any repairs, replacements, alterations, restorations or renewals of any nature or description to the Hotel, whether ordinary or extraordinary, structural or nonstructural, foreseen or unforeseen.

5.9 Pooled Reserves. It is understood and agreed that so long as the PR Property is a Pooled FF&E Hotel, funds deposited in the Reserve Account pursuant to this Agreement and the FF&E Reserve under PR Lease shall be maintained and used on a consolidated basis such that all amounts to be deposited in the Reserve Account and the FF&E Reserve shall be deposited in a single account and Manager and PR Tenant may apply any funds therein to any of the Pooled FF&E Hotels in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and PR Lease.

7.3 Personnel.

(a) All personnel employed at the Hotels will be employees of Manager or its Affiliates. Manager will hire, supervise, direct, discharge and determine the compensation, other benefits and terms of employment of all personnel working in the Hotels. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner shall have the right to separately interview candidates for the general manager position for any Hotel, subject to the following: (i) Manager shall make the determination of the candidates to be interviewed for the general manager position, utilizing Manager’s customary screening process, and of the extension of any offer of employment to any candidate, except that the hiring of the general manager shall be subject to Owner’s approval, which approval may not be withheld with respect to more than three (3) qualified candidates proposed by Manager per Hotel (i.e., each time there is a change of general manager at any Hotel, Owner may not withhold approval of more than three candidates proposed by Manager), (ii) Manager shall provide Owner with written notice of any candidate Manager proposes for general manager of a Hotel, and Owner shall have five (5) business days following such notice to respond as to whether Owner wishes to interview such candidate and an additional five (5) business days in which to interview such candidate (subject to the candidate’s availability), and (iii) if Owner does not timely respond or timely interview and/or approve any such candidate, as applicable, Owner shall have waived its right to interview and/or approve such candidate and such candidate shall be deemed approved.

If either Manager or Owner shall be required, pursuant to any such Legal Requirement, to recognize a labor union or to enter into collective bargaining with a labor union, the party so required shall

promptly notify the other. 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 Hotels, 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. The terms of this Section 7.3(b) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

All Repairs shall be made in a good, workmanlike manner, consistent with Manager’s and industry standards for like hotels in like locales, in accordance with all applicable

Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements. To the extent such Repairs cannot be performed by Manager’s on-site staff, Manager shall be entitled to cause such repairs to be performed by third parties or, subject to Owner’s prior approval, Affiliates of Manager acting under separate technical services agreements pursuant to Section 11.1 (Optional Services).

(b) No Repairs shall be made which would tie-in or connect a Hotel with any other improvements on property adjacent to such Hotel (and not part of its Site) including, without limitation, tie-ins of buildings or other structures or utilities (other than connections to public or private utilities) without the prior written approval of Owner, which approval may be granted or withheld in Owner’ sole and absolute discretion.

7.7 Emergency Repairs.

In the event that a condition should exist in or about a Hotel of an emergency nature or in violation of applicable Legal Requirements or Insurance Requirements, including structural conditions, which requires immediate repair necessary to prevent imminent danger or damage to persons or property, Manager is hereby authorized to take all steps and to make all expenditures necessary to repair and correct any such condition, regardless of whether provisions have been made in Section 2.6(h) (Unsold Hotels) or Section 5.4 (Refurbishment Fund), the applicable Yearly Budget for any such expenditures, or whether sufficient funds exist in the Reserve Accounts. Upon the occurrence of such an event or condition, Manager will communicate to Owner all available information regarding such event or condition as soon as reasonably possible and will take reasonable steps to obtain Owner’s approval before incurring such expenses. Expenditures under this Section 7.7 shall be paid from the Reserve Account to the extent such expenditure is properly considered a Capital Replacement.

7.8 Liens; Credit. Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any liens from being filed against any Hotel which arise from any Repairs in or to such Hotels. Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the release of any such liens from the Hotels. If any such lien arises as a result of or in connection with a Manager Default, then Manager shall bear the cost of obtaining the lien release (exclusive of the cost of the Repair to which it pertains, unless Manager is otherwise responsible therefor) and the same shall not constitute an Operating Cost. In no event shall any

party borrow money in the name of, or pledge the credit of, any other party. Manager shall not allow any lien to exist with respect to its interest in this Agreement. Manager shall not finance the cost of any Repair by the granting of a lien on, or security interest in, any Hotel or Manager’s interest therein or hereunder.

7.9 Real Estate and Personal Property Taxes. Manager shall pay, as Operating Costs on behalf of Owner, prior to delinquency, all taxes and assessments which may become a lien on, or are assessed against, any Hotel or any component thereof and which may be due and payable for the Term, unless payment thereof is being contested by Manager, as hereinafter provided, enforcement is stayed and the amount so contested is escrowed or guaranteed in a form satisfactory to Owner. Owner shall, promptly after receipt thereof by Owner, give Manager copies of all notices as to all such taxes and assessments.

Owner shall provide Manager with details of any GST or RST collected or paid by it directly which detail is not otherwise available to Manager. Manager acknowledges that pursuant to the Lease, all amounts in the Reserve Account and all goods or services purchased with such funds belong to Landlord. Accordingly, GST paid from the funds in the Reserve Account shall not be reflected on Owner’s GST returns.

7.11 Contest. Manager shall have the right to and, at Owner’s request, shall, in Manager’s or Owner’s name, contest or protest any tax or assessment or proposed assessment which may become a lien on, or be assessed against, any Hotel or any component thereof due and for the Term or any Legal Requirement payable by appropriate legal proceedings, conducted in good faith and with due diligence, provided that (a) such contest shall not cause Landlord or Owner to be in default under any Authorized Mortgage, (b) no part of a Hotel nor any Gross Revenues therefrom shall be in any immediate danger of sale, forfeiture, attachment or loss, and (c) Owner and Landlord are not exposed to any risk for criminal or civil liability.

The cost of obtaining such letter shall be an Operating Cost.

(d) If any amounts due to Owner as shown in an Officer’s Certificate or audit provided pursuant to Sections 8.1(f) or 17.5 (Post Termination Obligations) exceed the amounts previously paid with respect thereto to Owner, Manager shall pay such excess to Owner at such time as the Officer’s Certificate or audit is delivered, together with interest at the Interest Rate from the date due. (Any such interest which accrues after the day that is ten (10) Business Days after the date on which the 8.1(c) Statement is delivered or is due and any such interest which results from Manager’s willful understatement of amounts due to Owner shall not be Operating Costs, but shall be paid by Manager.) If Owner’s First Priority as shown in an Officer’s Certificate or audit is less than the amount(s) previously paid with respect thereto to Owner, Owner shall be entitled to retain the same, but shall credit such overpayment against the next installment of Owner’s First Priority. If any Management Fee due to Manager as shown on an Officer’s Certificate or audit is less than the amount previously paid to Manager on account thereof, Manager shall, within ten (10) Business Days after the date on which such Officer’s Certificate or audit is delivered, deposit the overpayment in the Bank Accounts. If the Owner’s Residual Distribution due as shown on the Officer’s Certificate or audit is less than the amount previously paid to Owner with respect thereto, Owner shall promptly deposit (or deliver to Manager who will in turn

deposit) the overpayment in the Bank Accounts. In no event shall (i) any amount previously deposited in the Reserve Account be withdrawn therefrom pursuant to this Article 8 or (ii) distributions of Owner’s First Priority be subject to adjustment.

(e) In addition, Manager shall provide Owner with information relating to the Hotels, Manager and its Affiliates that (i) may be required in order for Owner, Landlord or their Affiliates to prepare financial statements in accordance with Accounting Principles or to comply with any Legal Requirement including, without limitation, any applicable tax and securities laws and regulations and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s interpretation thereof, (ii) may be required for Owner, Landlord or any of their Affiliates to prepare federal, state, provincial or local tax returns, or (iii) is of the type that Manager customarily prepares for other hotel owners or itself.

(f) At Owner’s election and at Owner’s cost except as otherwise provided herein, a certified audit of the Hotels’ operations may be performed annually, and after the Expiration Date, by a nationally recognized, independent certified public accounting firm appointed by Owner. In the event that Owner elects to have such an audit performed, Owner must give notice of its election within twelve (12) months after its receipt of the applicable 8.1(c) Statement. Manager shall pay the cost of any audit revealing an understatement of the Owner’s Residual Distribution by more than three percent (3%) in the aggregate, and such cost shall not be an Operating Cost. In the event that either no notice of audit is given within said twelve (12) months, or no audit is in fact commenced within eighteen (18) months after receipt of the 8.1(c) Statement, such operating statement will constitute the final statement for that Fiscal Year, deemed to have been approved by Owner.

(g) Manager shall maintain separate books and records regarding the operation of the facilities that provide services to a Hotel which books and records shall be reasonably satisfactory to Owner and Owner’s Affiliate.

(h) The terms of Sections 8.1(a),8.1(d), and 8.1(f) and any provisions regarding dispute resolution set forth in this Section 8.1 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.

8.2 Yearly Budgets.

(a) Not less than sixty (60) days prior to the first day of each Fiscal Year, Manager shall submit to Owner, for Owner’s approval, a proposed Yearly Budget for each Hotel, including a proposed Capital Replacements Budget for each Hotel for the ensuing full or partial Fiscal Year, as the case may be; provided that, during the Refurbishment Period, the Capital Replacements Budgets shall consist only of Approved Renovations. If Owner fails to disapprove of a proposed Yearly Budget within thirty (30) days after the submission thereof together with such supplementary materials as Owner shall reasonably require to Owner for its approval, the same shall be deemed approved. Together with each such Capital Replacements Budget, Manager shall provide to Owner a proposed three-year capital forecast for such Hotel for Owner’s review and approval. Manager will, from time to time not less often than quarterly, issue periodic forecasts of operating performance to Owner reflecting any significant unanticipated changes, variables or events or describing significant additional unanticipated items of income or expense. Manager will provide Owner with the material data and information utilized in preparing the Yearly Budgets and the Capital Replacements Budgets or any revisions thereof. Manager will not be deemed to have made any guaranty, warranty or representation whatsoever in connection with the Yearly Budgets and the Capital Replacements Budgets, except that the proposed Yearly Budgets, including the Capital Replacements Budgets, reflect Manager’s best professional estimates of the matters they describe. Manager shall use its reasonable efforts, subject to the Operating Standards, to operate and manage the Hotels in accordance with their Yearly Budgets.

(b) In the event Owner disapproves or raises any objections to the proposed Yearly Budget, or any portion thereof, or any revisions thereto, Owner and Manager shall cooperate with each other in good faith to resolve the disputed or objectionable items. If Owner disapproves of a proposed Yearly Budget, Owner will disapprove on a specific line-by-line basis to the extent reasonably practical.

(c) In the event Owner and Manager are not able to resolve the disputed or objectionable matters raised by Owner in regard to a Yearly Budget prior to the commencement of the applicable Fiscal Year, either voluntarily or by means of Arbitration, Manager is authorized to operate the Hotel in accordance with the proposed Yearly Budget; provided, however, that as for disputed budget items, Manager may not expend more than the previous year’s budgeted amount for such item (if any), increased by a percentage equal to the increase in (i) the

Consumer Price Index during the last year, with respect to the Hotels other than the Canadian Hotel and (ii) the Canadian Consumer Price Index during the last year with respect to the Canadian Hotel, unless such expenditure is of the type contemplated under Section 7.7(Emergency Repairs) or is for an expense (such as real estate taxes, insurance premiums or utilities) which are beyond the Manager’s reasonable control; provided further, however, except with respect to Approved Renovations during the Refurbishment Period, Manager shall not expend on account of Capital Replacements in any period for any Hotel an amount in excess of five percent (5%) of such Hotel’s Gross Revenues for such period other than pursuant to an approved Capital Replacements Budget or with the prior written consent of Owner. For purposes of this section, “increase in the Consumer Price Index during the last year” and “increase in the Canadian Consumer Price Index during the last year” shall mean the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index for the twelve (12) month period ending immediately prior to the date of submission of the disputed proposed Yearly Budget.

8.3 Bank Accounts.

(a) The revenues of the Hotels shall be deposited into one or more Bank Accounts. The Bank Accounts will be separate and distinct from any other accounts, reserves or deposits required by this Agreement, and Manager’s designees who are included in the coverage of any required fidelity or similar insurance will be the only parties authorized to draw upon any Bank Account; provided, however, such designees shall only be authorized to draw upon a Bank Account for purposes authorized by the terms of this Agreement.

(b) So long as this Agreement is in full force and effect and there is no uncured Manager Default, Manager shall have exclusive control of the Bank Accounts. Nothing contained herein is to be construed as preventing Manager from maintaining separate payroll accounts or petty cash funds and making payments therefrom as the same may be customary in the hotel business or the applicable Brand Standards.

8.4 Consolidated Financials. Manager shall furnish or cause IHG to furnish to Owner within ten (10) days after the filing by IHG of any material filing with respect to the securities of IHG or any financial statement with any governmental agency, quasi-governmental agency or stock exchange, a copy of the same; provided, however, if IHG is not required to file interim and annual financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission or its equivalent in the

United Kingdom, Manager shall furnish or cause IHG to furnish the following statements to Owner:

(a) within forty-five (45) days after each interim period for which IHG prepares Consolidated Financials, the Consolidated Financials of IHG for such period accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate; and

(b) within ninety (90) days after each fiscal year of IHG, the Consolidated Financials of IHG for such fiscal year audited by a firm of independent certified public accountants reasonably satisfactory to Owner accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate.

(a) As consideration for the management and operation of the Hotels by Manager, Manager shall earn fees which shall be payable as provided in Section 10.1 (Disbursement of Funds).

All System Fees and e-mail service fees and accounting fees described above shall accrue monthly, when billed, but in no event shall any such fees accrue prior to the end of the month for which they are incurred.

ARTICLE 10

DISBURSEMENTS

10.1 Disbursement of Funds. As and when received by Manager or the Hotels, all Gross Revenues from all of the Hotels shall be deposited into the Bank Accounts and, subject to the terms of Sections 8.1 (Accounting Matters) and 10.5 (Calculation of Interim Disbursements), applied in the following order of priority to the extent available:

(1) First, to pay all Operating Costs;

(2) Second, to fund the Reserve Account as required by Section 5.2 (Reserve Account) for the previous Fiscal Month and then any amounts accrued and unpaid for prior periods, including amounts accrued and unpaid under the Original Management Agreements and to reimburse Manager for amounts advanced by Manager under Section 5.2(d);

(3) Third, to Owner, Owner’s First Priority for the Fiscal Year to which such Gross Revenues pertain together with any accrued Owner’s First Priority and interest thereon; if the Net Disbursement Cash is insufficient to pay Owner’s First Priority and interest, if any, as aforesaid, any shortfall shall be accrued; provided, however, there shall be no accrual of Owner’s First Priority to the extent any applicable shortfall is otherwise funded from the Deposit;

(4) Fourth, if Net Disbursement Cash is sufficient to pay Owner’s First Priority pursuant to Clause Third, remaining Net Disbursement Cash shall be applied as follows:

(i) one-half (1/2) of the amount thereof shall be paid to Owner to replenish the Deposit up to but not in excess of the Deposit Maintenance Amount; and

(ii) one-half (1/2) of the amount thereof shall be paid to Manager in an amount equal to the Base Management Fee for the Fiscal Year.

To the extent cash is allocated pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above, but is not applied because the Deposit has been restored to the Deposit Maintenance Amount, and/or the Base Management Fee has been paid in full, as the case may be, such cash not so applied (the “Excess Net Disbursement Cash”)shall be aggregated at each occasion of the allocation calculation and shall be applied as provided below.

(5) Fifth, Excess Net Disbursement Cash shall be paid to Owner up to but not in excess of Owner’s Second Priority for such Fiscal Year;

(6) Sixth, remaining Excess Net Disbursement Cash shall be paid (i) fifty percent (50%) to Manager and shall constitute the Incentive Management Fee hereunder and (ii) fifty percent (50%) to Owner and shall constitute Owner’s Residual Distribution hereunder.

The provisions of Section 10.3 (Owner’s First Priority) notwithstanding, through the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2013, Owner shall apply amounts from the Deposit to fund any shortfall in Owner’s First Priority and Manager shall not be in default hereunder for failure to pay Owner’s First Priority in full, so long as such amounts from the Deposit are available and may be so applied. The provisions of Section 10.3 notwithstanding, thereafter, Owner shall apply amounts from the Deposit to fund any shortfall in Owner’s First Priority and Manager shall not be in default hereunder for failure to pay Owner’s First Priority in full, so long as such amounts from the Deposit are available and may be so applied and so long as, after application of such amounts, through the end of the 2014 Fiscal Year, the Deposit is not less than $30,000,000 and thereafter, after application of such amounts, the Deposit is not less than $37,000,000.

For purposes of the foregoing, any payments of interest or principal on any Authorized Mortgage shall be paid from amounts distributed or accounted for as having been distributed to Owner under this Section 10.1 and shall be treated as payments made first, to Owner’s First Priority and second, to Owner’s Second Priority.

10.2 Manager’s Responsibility. Except as herein provided, Manager shall have no responsibility to incur Operating Costs or

undertake any Capital Replacement except to the extent Manager is reasonably assured that funds to pay such Operating Costs and for such Capital Replacements will be timely available.

10.3 Owner’s First Priority. Owner’s First Priority shall be due and payable in advance in equal monthly installments on the first day of each Fiscal Month, pro-rated for any partial month, regardless of any inadequacy of Gross Revenues or Operating Profits. If any installment of Owner’s First Priority is not paid when due and not funded through the Deposit, the same shall accrue interest at the Interest Rate until paid. (Such interest shall be payable on demand, shall not be an Operating Cost, and shall be paid by Manager.) Appropriate adjustments shall be made to reflect any change in Owner’s First Priority on account of net sale proceeds received or deemed received pursuant to Section 2.6(b) (Sale Process), 2.6(c) (Retained Hotels), 2.6(d) (Alternative Retained Hotels), 2.6(e) (Non-Economic Hotels), 2.6(f) (Removed Hotels) or advances made pursuant to Sections 2.6(h) (Unsold Hotels), 5.2 (Reserve Account), 5.4 (Refurbishment Fund), 15.2 (Restoration) or 16.2 (Partial Condemnation) by Owner or Landlord when such advances are made, provided any additional amounts of Owner’s First Priority due by reason of any such advance for the month in which such advance is made shall not be due and payable until the first Business Day of the month next after the date as of which such change occurs. As installments of Owner’s First Priority are to be paid in advance, Manager may advance amounts due on account of a monthly installment of Owner’s First Priority for a Fiscal Month and reimburse itself from Operating Profits for such Fiscal Month the amounts so advanced; provided, however, if Operating Profits of all of the Hotels for such Fiscal Month in excess of the amount to be contributed to the Reserve Account pursuant to Section 5.2 (Reserve Account) are insufficient to make such reimbursements, the amount of such insufficiency shall be deemed an advance under the PR Guaranty to the extent any amount is owed thereunder and then an advance to Working Capital, and Manager shall be entitled to the reimbursement thereof only pursuant to Section 5.1 (Working Capital). Subject to Section 10.1, if Owner fails to receive any installment of Owner’s First Priority as and when due, Owner may terminate this Agreement on not less than thirty (30) days’ and not more than two hundred seventy (270) days’ notice; provided, however, such notice shall be void ab initio if such installment together with any interest accrued thereon is paid to Owner within 30 days after such notice is given.

10.4 Accrual and Interest. Except as expressly provided herein, no amount(s) payable to either party shall be accrued and interest shall not accrue or be payable thereon.

10.5 Calculation of Interim Disbursements. Other than as described in Sections 5.2 (Reserve Account) or 10.3 (Owner’s First Priority), the priority order for disbursement of Gross Revenues set forth in Section 10.1 (Disbursement of Funds) shall be determined on an annual basis in accordance with Section 8.1 (Accounting Matters); provided, however, there shall be interim monthly disbursements to which the following shall apply:

(a) Each month during a Fiscal Year, the disbursements of Gross Revenues will be made on a cumulative, year-to-date basis based on Manager’s monthly statements delivered pursuant to Section 8.1(b) (Accounting Matters) as if that year-to-date period represented a full Fiscal Year.

(b) If a statement delivered pursuant to Section 8.1(b) (Accounting Matters) reflects any overpayment (other than with respect to Owner’s First Priority or amounts to be contributed to the Reserve Account), the party which received such overpayment shall deposit the same in the Bank Accounts (or remit the same to Manager for such deposit) and the same shall then be disbursed in the order specified in Section 10.1 (Disbursement of Funds).

10.6 Amounts Outstanding at End of Term. Unless this Agreement is wrongfully terminated by Owner, then upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, Manager shall have no claim against Owner, Landlord or the Hotels for amounts owed to it under this Agreement which have not been paid by reason of the inadequacy of Gross Revenues or Operating Profits.

10.7 Allocation. Any disbursement of funds to the Persons then constituting Manager and any allocation among such Persons shall be the sole responsibility of Resources and neither Owner nor Landlord shall have any responsibility therefor.

10.8 Survival. The terms of this Article 10 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.

ARTICLE 11

CERTAIN OTHER SERVICES

11.1 Optional Services. Owner acknowledges that Manager and its Affiliates sometimes provide separate, optional services which may relate to the Hotels in addition to those which are encompassed by this Agreement. Owner agrees to consider in good faith any proposals presented to it by Manager or any of Manager’s Affiliates for such additional services relative to the Hotels; it being understood, however, that this Section 11.1 shall in no event be construed to require Owner to accept any such proposals.

11.2 Purchasing. In making purchasing decisions with respect to products and services used in the operation of the Hotels, Manager will exercise reasonable business judgment in accordance with the Operating Standards. Manager shall be entitled to contract with its Affiliates, others in whom Manager or its Affiliates have an ownership interest and others with whom Manager or its Affiliates have contractual relationships to provide goods and/or services to the Hotels, provided that the prices and/or terms for such goods and/or services are competitive with those of unrelated third party vendors. In determining whether such prices and/or terms are so competitive, they will be compared to the prices and/or terms which are available from comparably qualified providers for goods and/or services of similar quality grouped in reasonable categories, rather than being compared item by item. Subject to the foregoing proviso, the prices charged for such goods or services may include overhead and the allowance of a reasonable return to the provider. Subject to the foregoing proviso, Owner acknowledges and agrees that the providers of such goods and/or services may retain for their own benefit any credits, rebates or commissions received with respect to such purchases. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Manager will act in a manner that enables Owner and the Hotels to gain not less than the same benefits with respect to purchasing as are made available to other hotels of the same category as the Hotels which other hotels are owned or operated by Manager or its Affiliates.

Promptly after the Expiration Date (or such later date on which Manager shall cease to operate the Hotels) and the expiration of any right granted to Owner to use the System Marks, subject to the terms of Section 17.5 (Post Termination Obligations), Owner shall remove all signs, furnishings, printed material, emblems, slogans or other distinguishing characteristics which are now or hereafter may be connected or identified with an applicable Brand or Reservation System. Owner shall not use any System Marks or any part, combination or variation thereof in the name of any partnership, corporation or other business entity, nor allow the use thereof by others.

12.3 System Mark Litigation.

(a) Manager shall hold Owner and its Affiliates harmless from and indemnify and defend Owner and its Affiliates against any and all costs and expenses incurred by Owner or its Affiliates (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred), arising out of the use of System Marks at or in connection with the operation of the Hotels by Owner or its designees pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or by Manager or its Affiliates.

(b) In the event a Hotel, Owner or Manager is the subject of any litigation or action brought by any party seeking to claim rights in or to restrain the use of any System Mark used by Manager in connection with the Hotel, then, provided Owner is a party to such litigation or action and further provided that Manager shall have provided to Owner either a guaranty in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Owner with respect to

Manager’s obligations under Section 12.3(a) or collateral to secure Manager’s obligations under Section 12.3(a) reasonably satisfactory to Owner, the conduct of any suit whether brought by Manager or instituted against Owner and/or Manager shall be under the absolute control of counsel nominated and retained by Manager notwithstanding that Manager may not be a party to such suit.

(c) Owner shall not bring suit against any user of any System Mark alleging or asserting any claim based on Owner’s right, title or interest as of the Effective Date in any System Mark.

(d) The terms of this Section 12.3 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

12.4 Other Intellectual Property Provisions.

(a) Owner acknowledges that Manager or Manager’s Affiliates are or may become the owner or licensee of certain intellectual property including: (a) software for use at one or more facilities managed by Manager or Manager’s Affiliates and all source and object code versions thereof and all related documentation, flow charts, user manuals, listing and service/operator manuals and any enhancements, modifications or substitutions thereof, (b) operating methods, procedures and policies and (c) upgrades and improvements to the foregoing (as the same may be upgraded or improved, collectively, “Intellectual Property”). Manager shall utilize the Intellectual Property to the extent necessary or appropriate in connection with the operation of the Hotels for the purpose of carrying out its obligations hereunder. Such use shall be strictly on a non-exclusive basis and neither such use nor anything contained in this Agreement shall confer any proprietary or other rights in the Intellectual Property on Owner or any third parties.

(b) To the extent that Owner has leased (or any Affiliate of Owner has acquired) certain intellectual property rights to use (i) trade names associated with the Hotels and their related restaurants and lounges, or (ii) software and other Intellectual Property associated with the Hotels, Owner agrees to allow (and cause any Affiliates of Owner to allow) Manager to use the same in its management of the Hotels without charge.

INDEMNIFICATION AND WAIVER OF SUBROGATION

14.1 Indemnification. Each of the parties hereto shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other for, from and against any cost, loss, damage or expense (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and all court costs and other expenses of litigation, whether or not taxable under local law) to the extent caused by or arising from: the failure of the indemnifying party to duly and punctually perform any of its obligations owed to the other; or any gross negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnifying party.

14.2 Waiver of Subrogation. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of Owner and Manager hereby waives any and all rights of subrogation and right of recovery or cause of action, and agrees to release the other and Landlord from liability for loss or damage to property to the extent such loss or damage is covered by valid and collectible insurance in effect at the time of such loss or damage or which would have been covered if the insurance required by this Agreement were being carried (unless the same is not carried due to the fault of Owner); provided, however, that such waiver shall be of no force or effect if the party benefiting therefrom fails to obtain and maintain the insurance required to be obtained and maintained by it. Such waivers are in addition to, and not in limitation or derogation of, any other waiver or release contained in this Agreement.

14.3 Survival. The terms of this Article 14 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 15

DAMAGE TO AND DESTRUCTION OF THE HOTEL

15.1 Termination.

(a) If, during the Term, any Hotel shall be totally or partially destroyed and the Hotel is thereby rendered Unsuitable for Its Permitted Use, (i) Manager may terminate this Agreement with respect to such Hotel on not less than sixty (60) days’ written notice to Owner, or (ii) Owner may terminate this Agreement with respect to such Hotel on not less than sixty (60) days’ written notice to Manager, whereupon, this Agreement, with respect to such Hotel, shall terminate and Owner or Landlord shall be entitled to retain the insurance proceeds payable on account of such damage.

(b) Notwithstanding any provisions of Section 15.2 (Restoration) below to the contrary, if damage to or destruction of any Hotel occurs during the last twenty four (24) months of the then Term (after giving effect to any exercised options to extend the same) and if such damage or destruction cannot reasonably be expected to be fully repaired and restored prior to the date that is twelve (12) months prior to the end of such Term, then either Owner or Manager may terminate this Agreement with respect to such Hotel on not less than thirty (30) days’ advance notice.

(c) Upon any termination under this Article 15 or Article 16, Owner’s First Priority shall be reduced by an amount equal to eight percent (8%), and Owner’s Second Priority (where applicable) shall be reduced by 0.5%, of the net proceeds received by Owner.

(d) Manager hereby waives any statutory rights of termination which may arise by reason of any damage to or destruction of any Hotel.

15.2 Restoration.

(a) If during the Term any Hotel is damaged or destroyed by fire, casualty or other cause but is not rendered Unsuitable for Its Permitted Use or if neither Owner nor Manager terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 15.1 (Termination), but subject to Section 13.4 (Insurance Proceeds),Owner shall make

the net proceeds of insurance received in connection with such casualty (excluding the proceeds of business interruption or similar insurance which are a portion of Gross Revenues) and any other amount Owner elects to contribute toward restoration available to Manager for restoration of such Hotel subject to customary terms applicable to advances and construction loans (to the extent applicable) and the terms of the Lease and any Authorized Mortgage, and Owner shall make, or shall cause there to be made, all Repairs necessary to restore such Hotel to substantially the same condition as existed prior to such casualty. If Owner elects to retain Manager’s services in connection with such Repairs, the terms of Section 11.1 (Optional Services) shall apply.

(b) Any casualty which does not result in a termination of this Agreement with respect to the applicable Hotel shall not excuse the payment of sums due to Owner hereunder with respect to such Hotel.

(c) If the net proceeds of the insurance received in connection with a casualty or an Award received in connection with a Condemnation are insufficient to complete the required Repairs, Owner shall have the right (but not the obligation) to contribute (or cause Landlord to contribute) the amount of such insufficiency. If Owner elects not to contribute such insufficiency by notice given to Manager within ten (10) Business Days after a notice given by Manager to Owner reasonably detailing the existence of such insufficiency, Manager shall have the right to contribute such insufficiency. If Manager fails to contribute such insufficiency to an account of Owner to be used in completing such Repairs within ten (10) Business Days after Owner’s election, the Hotel subject to such casualty or Condemnation shall be deemed Unsuitable for Its Permitted Use and the terms of Section 15.1 (Termination) or 16.1 (Total Condemnation), as applicable, shall apply.

ARTICLE 16

CONDEMNATION

16.1 Total Condemnation. If either (x) the whole of a Hotel shall be taken by Condemnation, or (y) a Condemnation of less than the whole of a Hotel renders such Hotel Unsuitable for Its Permitted Use, this Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Hotel, Owner and Landlord shall seek the Award for their interests in such Hotel as provided in the Lease, which Award shall belong solely to them. In addition, Manager shall have the right to initiate or participate in 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 the award or compensation it may obtain through such proceedings which are conducted separately from those of Owner and Landlord only if such award or compensation does not reduce the award or compensation otherwise available to Owner and Landlord. If this Agreement is so terminated with respect to a Hotel, Owner and Landlord shall make reasonable efforts to use the Award to acquire a Replacement Property proposed by Manager to which this Agreement shall be extended; provided, however:

(a) Landlord and Owner shall not be obligated to expend in the aggregate more than the Award in connection with (i) investigating and negotiating to purchase all properties proposed by Manager to be the Replacement Property (including, without limitation, attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and title search and survey costs) and (ii) acquiring a Replacement Property (including, without limitation, the purchase price therefor, title insurance premiums, broker’s commissions and transfer taxes);

(b) Landlord and Owner shall have no obligation to acquire any proposed Replacement Property unless the projected Operating Profit thereof and each of every other aspect of the proposed Replacement Property which Landlord reasonably considers relevant is comparable in Landlord’s sole judgment in all respects to the Hotel which is being replaced;

(d) Owner’s First Priority will be increased by an amount equal to the reduction resulting from the termination of this Agreement with respect to the Hotel which is being replaced; and

(e) Landlord shall not be obligated to acquire any proposed Replacement Property, if Manager and Owner do not reasonably agree upon an appropriate amendment hereto pursuant to which this Agreement will be extended to such property.

If Landlord decides to acquire a proposed Replacement Property, then simultaneously with such acquisition the Lease and this Agreement shall be appropriately amended so as to cover such Replacement Property.

16.2 Partial Condemnation. In the event of a Condemnation of less than the whole of a Hotel such that such Hotel is not rendered Unsuitable for Its Permitted Use, Owner shall, to the

extent of the Award and any additional amounts disbursed by Owner or Landlord, commence promptly and continue diligently to restore the untaken portion of such Hotel so that such Hotel shall constitute a complete architectural unit of the same general character and condition (as nearly as may be possible under the circumstances) as existed immediately prior to such Condemnation, in full compliance with all Legal Requirements, using the Award made available therefor and any other funds Owner elects to contribute subject to customary terms applicable to advances of construction loans (to the extent applicable). If Owner elects to retain Manager’s services in connection therewith, the terms of Section 11.1 (Optional Services) shall apply.

16.3 Temporary Condemnation. In the event of any temporary Condemnation of a 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 constitute Gross Revenues. For purposes of this Agreement, 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.

16.4 Anaheim Taking. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if an Anaheim Condemnation occurs and this Agreement is not terminated with respect to the affected Hotel(s), the Award shall first be applied to reimburse Owner and Manager for any and all costs or expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, expert witness fees and other costs and expenses incurred by Owner or Manager in connection with the Anaheim Condemnation (collectively, “Anaheim Condemnation Costs”). After Owner and Manager have been reimbursed for their respective Anaheim Condemnation Costs, the balance of the Award shall be used to pay the cost of such restoration subject to customary terms applicable to advances of construction loans (to the extent applicable). In the event that the Award is insufficient to pay the Anaheim Condemnation Costs and to cover the full cost of the restoration, Manager shall give Owner notice thereof, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the Anaheim Condemnation Costs, the estimated cost of restoration and the projected deficiency. At Owner’s election by notice to Manager, Owner may terminate this Agreement with respect to such Hotel(s), direct Manager to apply funds from the Reserve Account to fund the cost of restoration and/or disburse additional funds to supplement payment of the cost of restoration. In the event that the Award is in excess

of the amount required to pay the Anaheim Condemnation Costs and to cover the full cost of the restoration, such excess shall be retained by Owner and Owner’s First Priority shall be reduced by an amount equal to eight percent (8%) of such excess.

16.5 Effect of Condemnation. Any condemnation which does not result in a termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms with respect to the applicable Hotel shall not excuse the payment of sums due to Owner hereunder with respect to such Hotel and this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect as to such Hotel.

ARTICLE 17

DEFAULT AND TERMINATION

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

(a) The filing by Manager, PR Tenant, IHG or the guarantor under the PR Guaranty of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or a petition for reorganization under any bankruptcy law, or the admission by Manager, the Canadian Manager, PR Tenant, IHG or the guarantor under the PR Guaranty that it is unable to pay its debts as they become due, or the institution of any proceeding by Manager, the Canadian Manager, PR Tenant, IHG or the guarantor under the PR Guaranty for its dissolution or earlier termination.

(b) The consent by Manager, the Canadian Manager, PR Tenant, IHG or the guarantor under the PR Guaranty 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 with respect to Manager, the Canadian Manager, PR Tenant, IHG or the guarantor under the PR Guaranty.

(c) The entering of an order, judgment or decree by any court of competent jurisdiction, on the application of a creditor, adjudicating Manager, the Canadian Manager, PR Tenant, IHG or the guarantor under the PR Guaranty 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, the Canadian Manager’s, PR Tenant’s, IHG’s or the guarantor under the PR Guaranty’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) The failure of Manager, the Canadian Manager, PR Tenant, the guarantor under the PR Guaranty, or IHG to make any payment required to be made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document which failure continues beyond any applicable notice and grace period.

(e) The failure of Manager, IHG, PR Tenant, or the guarantor under the PR Guaranty to perform, keep or fulfill any of the other covenants, undertakings, obligations or conditions set forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document on or before the date required for the same, which failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice demanding such cure; provided, however, if such failure is susceptible of cure, but such cure cannot be accomplished within said thirty (30) day period, said thirty (30) days shall be extended for so long as is reasonably necessary to effect such cure provided that such cure is commenced within thirty (30) days after such notice is given and is thereafter diligently pursued to completion.

(f) The failure of Manager to maintain insurance coverages required to be maintained by Manager under this Agreement.

(g) The failure by Manager, PR Tenant, or IHG to deliver to Owner any financial statement as and when required by the Transaction Documents, which failure continues for a period of ten (10) Business Days after written notice from Owner.

(h) Any representation or warranty made by Manager or any of its Affiliates in this Agreement or any Transaction Document proves to have been false in any material respect on the date when made or deemed made; provided, however, if Manager did not know of such falseness at the time such representation or warranty was made, and the facts or circumstances giving rise to such falseness are susceptible of cure, Manager shall have up to thirty (30) days after notice from Owner to effectuate such cure.

(i) The occurrence of an Event of Default under the PR Lease.

(j) The failure of the Canadian Manager to be an Affiliate of Manager.

17.2 Remedies for Manager Defaults. So long as a Manager Event of Default shall be outstanding, Owner shall have (in addition to its other rights and remedies at law, in equity or otherwise) the right to terminate this Agreement. Upon such

termination, or if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Sections 5.1 (Working Capital) or 10.3 (Owner’s First Priority), Owner shall be entitled to liquidated damages. Owner’s right to receive liquidated damages has been agreed to due to the uncertainty, difficulty and/or impossibility of ascertaining the actual damages suffered by Owner. Further, if not for Owner’s right to receive such liquidated damages, Landlord would not have acquired the Hotels and Owner would not have entered into the Lease. MANAGER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT SUCH LIQUIDATED DAMAGES ARE NOT A PENALTY, BUT ARE TO COMPENSATE OWNER AND ITS AFFILIATES FOR THE EXPENSE AND LOST EARNINGS WHICH MAY RESULT FROM ARRANGING SUBSTITUTE MANAGEMENT FOR THE HOTELS AS WELL AS TO COMPENSATE FOR THE RENT OWNER MUST PAY UNDER THE LEASE AND THE PRICE PAID FOR THE HOTELS BY OWNER’S AFFILIATE. Such liquidated damages shall be equal to (i) all accrued but unpaid amounts due to Owner hereunder up until the date of termination, plus (ii) the balance of the Deposit at the time of termination. Owner shall be entitled to interest, at the Interest Rate, on such liquidated damages from the date of such termination until the date of payment of such damages and interest. Except with respect to Owner’s rights and remedies for any breach or violations by Manager of the terms of Section 17.5 (Post Termination Obligations), Owner shall look solely to any collateral hereafter pledged securing Manager’s obligations hereunder for satisfaction of any claim of Owner against Manager hereunder; provided, however, nothing contained herein is intended to, nor shall it, limit or reduce the obligations of the guarantor under the PR Guaranty or limit Owner’s rights with respect to either of them.

17.3 Owner Events of Default and Remedies for Owner Defaults. In the event any representation or warranty made by Owner in this Agreement proves to be untrue when made in any material respect or Owner fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, then Manager shall have the right to institute forthwith any and all proceedings permitted by law or equity (provided they are not specifically barred under the terms of this Agreement), including, without limitation, actions for specific performance and/or damages; provided, however, except as may be expressly provided in this Agreement, Manager shall have no right to terminate this Agreement by reason of such a failure by Owner or otherwise. Manager shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement in the event of a violation of the terms of Section 4.7 (Restricted Sale) by Landlord or Owner. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, Manager hereby waives all rights arising from any occurrence whatsoever, which may now or hereafter be conferred upon it by

law, (a) to modify without the agreement of Owner, surrender or terminate this Agreement or quit or surrender any Hotel or any portion thereof, or (b) to obtain (i) any abatement, reduction, suspension or deferment of the sums allocable or otherwise payable to Owner or other obligations to be performed by Manager hereunder or (ii) any increase in any amounts payable to Manager hereunder. In the event Owner wrongfully terminates this Agreement or Manager terminates this Agreement pursuant to a right to do so as a result of Owner’s breach, then, subject to Manager’s mitigation obligations and any other limitation on remedies set forth herein, Manager shall be entitled to recover as part of its damages for such wrongful termination an amount equal to the damages suffered by Manager on account of terminating the employment of on-site employees of the Hotels as a result of such wrongful termination.

17.4 Termination Upon Change in Control. Upon the occurrence of any Change in Control, Owner shall have the right, upon sixty (60) days prior notice to Manager, to terminate this Agreement if at such time, or at any time thereafter, the tangible net worth of Manager, together with the resulting consolidated group controlling, and under common control with, Manager, determined in accordance with the Accounting Principles, falls below $750,000,000, provided that a decline in tangible net worth to the extent resulting from net operating losses (excluding any operating losses, or portion thereof, arising on or after any Change in Control which result from any payment or distribution of any type or kind (including, without limitation, interest, dividends and/or fees) to the direct or indirect equity owners of Manager, or their Affiliates), will not be considered in determining whether there has been a decline in tangible net worth. As a liquidated amount for its cost of preparing the Hotels for new management, Owner shall be entitled to retain the Deposit.

17.5 Post Termination Obligations. Upon expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement for any reason, Owner and Manager shall proceed as follows:

(a) Within sixty (60) days following the effective date of such expiration or earlier termination, Manager will submit to Owner an audited final accounting of the results of the Pooled FF&E Hotels’ operations and all accounts between Owner and Manager through the effective date of such expiration or earlier termination, the cost of which audit shall be shared equally by Manager and Owner and shall not be an Operating Cost and shall be performed by Ernst & Young or another accounting firm selected by Manager and approved by Owner. Said final

accounting shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate and shall promptly be submitted by Manager to Owner for its approval. Owner shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval of the final accounting and any such disapproval shall contain reasonably detailed explanation for disapproval. Within thirty (30) days after delivery of such final accounting, the parties will make appropriate adjustments to any amounts previously paid or due under this Agreement.

(b) On the effective date of such expiration or earlier termination, Manager will deliver to Owner all books and records of the Hotels, provided that Manager may retain copies of any of the same for Manager’s records. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Manager will not be required to deliver to Owner any information or materials (including, without limitation, software, database, manuals and technical information) which are proprietary property of Manager.

(c) On the effective date of such expiration or earlier termination, Manager will deliver possession of the Hotels, together with any and all keys or other access devices, to Owner.

(d) On the effective date of such expiration or earlier termination, Manager will assign to Owner or its designee, and Owner or such designee will assume, all booking, reservation, service and operating contracts relating exclusively to the occupancy or operation of the Hotels and entered into in the ordinary course of business by Manager in accordance with this Agreement. Owner agrees to indemnify and hold Manager harmless from liability or other obligations under any such agreements relating to acts or occurrences, including Owner’s or such designee’s failure to perform, on or after the effective date of such assignment.

(e) Manager will assign to Owner or its designee any assignable licenses and permits pertaining to the Hotels and will otherwise reasonably cooperate with Owner as may be necessary for the transfer of any and all Hotel licenses and permits to Owner or Owner’s designee.

(f) Manager shall release and transfer to Owner or Landlord, as applicable, any funds of Owner or Landlord which are held or controlled by Manager.

(g) Manager shall have the option, to be exercised within thirty (30) days after termination or expiration, to purchase, at their then book value, any FF&E, Operating Equipment or other

personal property as may be marked with any System Mark at the Hotels. In the event Manager does not exercise such option, Owner agrees that it will use any such items not so purchased exclusively in connection with the Hotels until they are consumed; provided, however, Manager shall not be entitled to purchase FF&E, Operating Equipment or other personal property located at a Hotel which is to be operated under the Brand name or by Manager, until such Hotel shall no longer be so operated.

(h) Owner shall have the right to operate the improvements on the applicable Sites without modifying the structural design of same and without making any Material Repair, notwithstanding the fact that such design or certain features thereof may be proprietary to Manager or its Affiliates and/or protected by trademarks or service marks held by Manager or an Affiliate, provided that such use shall be confined to the applicable Sites. Further, provided that the applicable Hotels then satisfy the applicable Brand Standards (unless the Hotels fail to satisfy such Brand Standards due to a breach hereof by Manager), Owner shall be entitled (but not obligated) to operate such of the Hotels as Owner designates under the applicable Brand name for a period of one (1) year following such expiration or earlier termination in consideration for which Owner shall pay the then standard franchise and system fees for such Brand and comply with the other applicable terms and conditions of the form of franchise agreement then being entered into with respect to such Brand and Manager or its Affiliates will continue to provide services to the Hotels including, without limitation, the reservations and communication services contemplated by Section 7.5 (Reservation and Communication Services); provided, however, that all such services shall be provided in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of the form of franchise agreement then being entered into with respect to such Brand.

(i) Manager shall transfer to Owner the telephone numbers used in connection with the operation of the Hotels (but not any Brand generally).

(j) Manager shall cooperate with Owner’s or its designees’ efforts to engage employees of the Hotels.

(k) If requested by Owner prior to such expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement in whole or in part, Manager shall continue to manage under the applicable Brand any affected Hotels designated by Owner after such expiration or earlier termination for up to one (1) year, on such reasonable terms (which shall include an agreement to reimburse Manager for

its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, and reasonable administrative costs and a management fee of seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of Gross Revenues with respect to the Staybridge Hotels, the Holiday Inn Hotels and the Candlewood Suites Hotels and a management fee of three percent (3%) of Gross Revenues with respect to the Crowne Plaza Hotels and InterContinental Hotels) as Owner and Manager shall reasonably agree.

Upon expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, other than a termination after the occurrence of a Change in Control or a Manager Event of Default, Owner shall refund the Deposit to Manager up to the Supplemental Deposit and Owner shall be entitled to retain the balance of the Deposit, if any as a liquidated amount for its cost of preparing the Hotels for new management.

The provisions of this Section 17.5 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

RELATIONSHIP, AUTHORITY AND FURTHER ACTIONS

19.1 Relationship. Manager shall be the agent of Owner with a limited agency, coupled with an interest, solely for the purpose of operating the Hotels and carrying out ordinary and customary transactions for that purpose. Owner and Manager shall not be construed as joint venturers or partners of each other, and neither shall have the power to bind or obligate the other except as set forth in this Agreement. Manager shall not constitute a tenant or subtenant of Owner and this Agreement shall not constitute Owner a franchisee of Manager or of any of Manager’s Affiliates. Manager shall not exercise any right of Owner or Owner’s Affiliate in connection with any facility providing services to a Hotel without the prior written consent of Owner, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. This Agreement shall not create a franchise or a franchisor/franchisee relationship within the meaning of the Federal Trade Commission Act or any other Legal Requirement.

19.2 Further Actions. Each of the parties agrees to execute all contracts, agreements and documents and take all actions necessary to comply with the provisions of this Agreement and the intent hereof.

ARTICLE 20

APPLICABLE LAW

This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed, applied and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland applicable to contracts between residents of Maryland which are to be performed entirely within Maryland, regardless of (a) where this Agreement is executed or delivered, (b) where any payment or other performance required by this Agreement is made or required to be made, (c) where any breach of any provision of this Agreement occurs, or any cause of action otherwise accrues, (d) where any action or other proceeding is instituted or pending, (e) the nationality, citizenship, domicile, principal place of business, or jurisdiction of organization or domestication of any party, (f) whether the laws of the forum jurisdiction otherwise would apply the laws of a jurisdiction

other than Maryland, (g) the location of the Hotels or any applicable Hotel, or (h) any combination of the foregoing.

ARTICLE 21

SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS

21.1 Assignment.

(a) Except as expressly provided below, Manager shall not assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer its interest in all or any portion of this Agreement or any rights arising under this Agreement or suffer or permit such interests or rights to be assigned, transferred, mortgaged, pledged, hypothecated or encumbered, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law, or permit the management of the Hotels by anyone other than Manager or Owner. For purposes of this Section 21.1, an assignment of this Agreement shall be deemed to include any transaction which results in Manager no longer being an Affiliate of IHG or pursuant to which all or substantially all of Manager’s assets are transferred to any Person who is not an Affiliate of IHG.

(b) Manager shall have the right, without Owner’s consent, but subject to the applicable assignee or Affiliate satisfying the requirements of Section 24.14 (Further Compliance with Section 856(d) of the Code), to (i) assign Manager’s interest in this Agreement (A) to IHG or any Affiliate of IHG, (B) in connection with a merger, corporate restructuring or consolidation of IHG or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of IHG and (C) in connection with a sale of all or substantially all of the assets (including associated management agreements) owned by IHG and its Affiliates relating to the Brands and (ii) engage its Affiliates as sub-managers with respect to the separate Brands of Hotels. At Owner’s election, Manager shall assign this Agreement to any Person who is not an Affiliate of IHG that acquires all or substantially all of the assets of IHG relating to the Brands and shall cause such Person to assume all of Manager’s obligations thereafter accruing hereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Manager shall neither, directly or indirectly, assign this Agreement to any Person, nor engage any sub-manager, who is or is an Affiliate of a Specially Designated or Blocked Person.

(c) Manager also shall have the right, without Owner’s consent, but subject to the applicable Affiliate satisfying the requirements of Section 24.14 (Further Compliance with Section 856(d) of the Code), to assign to a Canadian Affiliate (the

“Canadian Manager”) under an Assignment and Assumption of Management Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, the rights and obligations of the Manager under this Agreement that relate to services to be performed by the Manager in respect of all (but not less than all) of the Canadian Hotels excluding those services which are performed centrally outside of Canada such as those performed pursuant to Section 7.5 (Reservation and Communication Services) and those services for which the System Fees or other fees referred to in Section 9.2 (System Fees) are to be paid (excluding such excluded services, the “Canadian Services”), provided that the Canadian Manager agrees to assume and be bound by the obligations of Manager hereunder as they relate to the Canadian Services. As a result of any such assignment:

(i) the Canadian Manager shall provide the Canadian Services to the Owner in accordance with this Agreement;

(ii) there shall be payable to the Canadian Manager as consideration for the Canadian Services, a portion of the amounts otherwise payable or reimbursable to Manager under this Agreement, as follows:

(A) the portion of the Operating Costs incurred by the Canadian Manager in providing the Canadian Services; and

(B) the portion of the Management Fees payable for each period equal to the fraction that the Gross Revenues of the Canadian Hotels for such period is of the Gross Revenues of the Hotels for such period, which fee shall be payable to the Canadian Manager concurrently with the remaining portion of the Management Fees payable to the Manager;

(iii) no portion of the System Fees or other fees referred to in Section 9.2 (System Fees) shall be payable in respect of Canadian Services; and

(iv) Manager shall not be released from any of its obligations under this Agreement and shall at all times remain liable for the performance of the Canadian Services and all other obligations of Manager hereunder.

The Canadian Manager shall at all times be an Affiliate of Manager.

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is intended to constitute, and shall constitute, a single

transaction notwithstanding any such assignment to the Canadian Manager.

(d) Owner shall not assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer its interest in all or any portion of this Agreement or any rights arising under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Manager except (i) in connection with a sale of a Hotel in accordance with the terms of Sections 4.4 (Sale of Hotel to Affiliate) or 4.5 (Sale of All Hotels), (ii) to Landlord or an Affiliate of Landlord, (iii) to Manager or an Affiliate of Manager, (iv) to an Affiliate of Owner in a merger, corporate restructuring or consolidation of Landlord or any of its Affiliates,(v) in connection with the granting of an Authorized Mortgage or (vi) to a Substitute Tenant as provided in Section 4.2 (Non-Disturbance); provided, however, in each instance (other than in connection with a collateral assignment) that the assignee hereof assumes all of Owner’s obligation hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents thereafter accruing.

(e) In the event either party consents to an assignment of this Agreement by the other, no further assignment shall be made without the express consent in writing of such party, unless such assignment may otherwise be made without such consent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. An assignment by Owner of its interest in this Agreement approved or permitted pursuant to the terms hereof shall relieve Owner of its obligations under this Agreement thereafter accruing.

(f) In the event fifty percent (50%) or more of the hotels comprising a Brand cease to be Staybridge Suites, Crowne Plaza InterContinental, Holiday Inn or Candlewood Suites hotels, as applicable, and are converted to another brand in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, Owner may elect to require Manager to promptly convert at Manager’s own cost and expense (and not as an Operating Cost and without reimbursement from the Reserve Account) the applicable Hotels to the brand of hotels to which such other hotels are converted. In such event, all references herein to “Staybridge Suites”, “Crowne Plaza” “InterContinental”, “Holiday Inn” or “Candlewood”, as applicable, shall be deemed to refer to the trade name of the system of hotels to which the Hotels are to be so converted.

21.2 Binding Effect. The terms, provisions, covenants, undertakings, agreements, obligations and conditions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the successors in interest and the assigns of the parties

hereto with the same effect as if mentioned in each instance where the party hereto is named or referred to, except that no assignment, transfer, sale, pledge, encumbrance, mortgage, lease or sublease by or through Owner, Landlord or Manager, as the case may be, in violation of the provisions of this Agreement shall vest any rights in the assignee, transferee, Landlord, secured party, mortgagee, pledgee, lessee, sublessee or occupant.

FORCE MAJEURE

23.1 Operation of Hotel. If at any time during the Term it becomes necessary in Manager’s reasonable opinion to cease or alter operations at any Hotel in order to protect the health, safety and welfare of the guests and/or employees of such Hotel, or such Hotel itself, for reasons of force majeure beyond the control of Manager such as, but not limited to, acts of war, insurrection, civil strife and commotion, labor unrest or acts of God, then in such event Manager may close and cease or alter operation of all or part of such Hotel, reopening and commencing or resuming operation when Manager deems that such may be done without jeopardy to such Hotel, its guests and employees.

ARTICLE 24

GENERAL PROVISIONS

24.1 Environmental Matters.

(a) Manager shall not store, release, discharge, spill upon, dispose of or transfer to or from any Hotel any Hazardous Substance, except for those which are customarily used at other hotels like the Hotels and are in compliance with all Legal Requirements. Manager shall maintain the Hotels at all times free of any Hazardous Substance (except for those which are customarily used at other hotels like the Hotels and are in compliance with all Legal Requirements).

(b) In the event of the discovery of Hazardous Substances other than those maintained in accordance with this Agreement on any portion of any Site or in any Hotel during the Term, Manager shall use reasonable efforts promptly to(i) clean up and remove

from and about such Hotel all Hazardous Substances thereon, if appropriate, (ii) contain and prevent any further release or threat of release of Hazardous Substances on or about such Hotel, and (iii) use good faith efforts to eliminate any further release or threat of release of Hazardous Substances on or about such Hotel, and (iv) otherwise effect a remediation of the problem in accordance with (A) the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C.

(c) To the extent any service required to be performed under this Section 24.1 or cost incurred under this Section 24.1 is not due to the fault of Manager or is not performed or incurred in the operations of the Hotels in the ordinary course, the same shall be governed by Section 11.1 (Optional Services); provided, however, to the extent that Section 11.1 (Optional Services) shall apply to such services or costs, Owner shall be entitled to engage a third party to perform such services.

24.2 Authorization. Owner represents that it has full power and authority to execute this Agreement and to be bound by and perform the terms hereof. Manager represents it has full power and authority to execute this Agreement and to be bound by and perform the terms hereof. On request, each such party will furnish to the other evidence of such authority.

24.3 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.

24.4 Merger. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede and take the place of any other instruments purporting to be an agreement of the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof.

24.5 Formalities. Any amendment or modification of this Agreement must be in writing signed by all parties hereto. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original.

24.8 Attorney’s Fees. If any lawsuit or arbitration of other legal proceeding arises in connection with the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement, the prevailing party therein shall be entitled to receive from the other party the prevailing party’s costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees incurred in connection therewith, in preparation therefor and on appeal therefrom, which amounts shall be included in any judgment therein.

24.9 Sections and Other Headings. 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.

24.10 Documents. Throughout the Term, Owner agrees to furnish Manager copies of all statements relating to real and personal property taxes and insurance statements at the Hotels, all financing documents (including notes and mortgages) relating to the Hotels and such other documents pertaining to the Hotels as Manager may request.

24.11 No Consequential Damages. Except as may be expressly provided herein, in no event shall either party be liable for

any consequential, exemplary or punitive damages suffered by the other as the result of a breach of this Agreement. Time is of the essence with respect to this Agreement.

24.12 No Political Contributions. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no money or property of the Hotels shall be paid or used or offered, nor shall Owner or Manager directly or indirectly use or offer, consent or agree to use or offer, any money or property of the Hotels (i) in aid of any political party, committee or organization, (ii) in aid of any corporation, joint stock or other association organized or maintained for political purposes, (iii) in aid of any candidate for political office or nomination for such office, (iv) in connection with any election, (v) for any political purpose whatever, or (vi) for the reimbursement or indemnification of any person for any money or property so used.

24.13 REIT Qualification.

(a) Manager shall take all commercially reasonable actions reasonably requested by Owner or Landlord for the purpose 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. 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 24.13 shall not apply in situations where an Adverse Regulatory Event has occurred; instead, Section 24.15 shall apply in such an instance.

(b) In the event Owner or Landlord wish to invoke the terms of Section 24.13(a), Owner or Landlord (as appropriate) shall contact Manager and the parties shall meet with each other to discuss the relevant issues and to develop a plan for implementing such reasonably requested actions.

(c) Any additional out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred by Manager in complying with such a request shall be borne by Owner (and shall not be an Operating Cost). Owner shall reimburse Manager for such expense or cost promptly, but not later than five (5) Business Days after such expense or cost is incurred.

24.14 Further Compliance with Section 856(d) of the Code. Commencing with the Effective Date and continuing throughout the

Term, the Manager shall qualify as an “eligible independent contractor” as defined in Section 856(d)(9)(A) of the Code. To that end:

(a) Manager shall not permit wagering activities to be conducted at or in connection with any Hotel by any person who is engaged in the business of accepting wagers and who is legally authorized to engage in such business at or in connection with such Hotel;

(b) Manager shall use reasonable efforts to cause each Hotel to qualify as a “qualified lodging facility” under Section 856(d)(9)(D) of the Code;

(c) Manager shall not own, directly or indirectly or constructively (within the meaning of Section 856(d)(5) of the Code), more than thirty-five percent (35%) of the shares of HPT (whether by vote, value or number of shares), and Manager shall otherwise comply with any regulations or other administrative or judicial guidance now or hereafter existing under said Section 856(d)(5) of the Code with respect to such ownership limits; and

(d) Manager shall be actively engaged (or shall, within the meaning of Section 856(d)(9)(F) of the Code, be related to a person that is so actively engaged) in the trade or business of operating “qualified lodging facilities” (defined below) for a person who is not a “related person” within the meaning of Section 856(d)(9)(F) of the Code with respect to HPT or Owner (“Unrelated Persons”). In order to meet this requirement, the Manager agrees that it (or any “related person” with respect to Manager within the meaning of Section 856(d)(9)(F) of the Code) (i) shall derive at least ten percent (10%) of both its revenue and profit from operating “qualified lodging facilities” for Unrelated Persons and (ii) shall comply with any regulations or other administrative or judicial guidance under Section 856(d)(9) of the Code with respect to the amount of hotel management business with Unrelated Persons that is necessary to qualify as an “eligible independent contractor” within the meaning of such Code Section.

A “qualified lodging facility” is defined in Section 856(d)(9)(D) of the Code and means a “lodging facility” (defined below), unless wagering activities are conducted at or in connection with such facility by any person who is engaged in the business of accepting wagers and who is legally authorized to engage in such business at or in connection with such facility. A “lodging facility” is a hotel, motel or other establishment more than one-half of the dwelling units in which

are used on a transient basis, and includes customary amenities and facilities operated as part of, or associated with, the lodging facility so long as such amenities and facilities are customary for other properties of a comparable size and class owned by other owners unrelated to HPT.

(e) Manager, without the prior consent of Owner, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, shall not permit or suffer:

(i) Manager to fail to continue as a corporation under state law, or as a limited liability company under state law taxable under the Code as a disregarded entity of InterContinental Hotels Group Resources, Inc., as the case may be;

(ii) InterContinental Hotels Group Resources, Inc. to fail to be a corporation under state law and taxable under the Code as an association; or

(iii) a direct or indirect subsidiary of InterContinental Hotels Group Resources, Inc. to become a lessee of property owned by Landlord or any of its Affiliates; or

(iv) for so long as Landlord or Owner or any Affiliate as to Landlord or Owner shall seek to qualify as a “real estate investment trust” under the Code, the Manager to be reorganized, restructured, combined, merged or amalgamated with any Affiliate (as to Manager) in such manner that any such Affiliate would, or in Landlord’s or Owner’s reasonable judgment could, be expected to adversely affect (including, e.g., by application of any Person’s actual “disregarded entity” status under the Code) the status that Manager has as a Code Section 856(d)(9)(A) “eligible independent contractor” at a Code Section 856(d)(9)(D) “qualified lodging facility” owned or leased by Landlord or Owner.

(f) Without the prior consent of Owner, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Canadian Manager and Manager shall not permit:

(i) the Canadian Manager to fail to be a corporation under Canadian provincial law taxable under the Code as an association;

(ii) a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Canadian Manager to become a lessee of property owned by Landlord or any of its Affiliates; or

(iii) The Canadian Manager or Manager, for so long as Landlord or Owner or any Affiliate as to Landlord or Owner shall seek to qualify as a “real estate investment trust” under the Code, to be reorganized, restructured, combined, merged or amalgamated with any Affiliate (as to Manager or the Canadian Manager) in such manner that any such Affiliate would, or in Landlord’s or Owner’s reasonable judgment could, be expected to adversely affect (including, e.g., by application of any Person’s actual “disregarded entity” status under the Code) the status that both Manager and the Canadian Manager have as a Code Section 856(d)(9)(A) “eligible independent contractor” at a Code Section 856(d)(9)(D) “qualified lodging facility” owned or leased by Landlord or Owner.

24.15 Adverse Regulatory Event.

(a) 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; provided, however, Manager shall have no obligation to materially reduce its rights or materially increase its obligation under this Agreement, all taken as a whole, or to bear any out-of-pocket costs or expenses under this Section 24.15. Manager shall not be liable if any such amendment, once operative, fails to have the desired result of eliminating the impact of an Adverse Regulatory Event.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Adverse Regulatory Event” means any time that a new law, statute, ordinance, code, rule or regulation (but not an administrative or judicial ruling) imposes, or could impose in Owner’s or Landlord’s reasonable opinion, any material threat to HPT’s status as a “real estate investment trust” under the Code or to the treatment of amounts paid to Landlord under the Lease as “rents from real property” under Section 856(d) of the Code.

(c) Owner or Landlord shall promptly inform Manager of any Adverse Regulatory Event of which it is aware and which it believes likely to impair compliance of any of the Hotels with respect to the aforementioned sections of the Code.

24.16 Adverse Canadian Event. If, as a result of the adoption of, making of or change to any tax law, tax regulation, tax treaty or official directive or the interpretation or application thereof by any court or by any Government Agency charged with the administration thereof or the compliance with any guideline or request of any Government Agency (whether or not having the force of law) Owner and Landlord determine in good faith that it is no longer consistent with their business goals to continue to own the Canadian Hotels, then, subject to the terms and conditions of Section 4.6 (The Lease), Owner and Landlord may sell all of their interest in the Canadian Hotels (either on a pooled basis or individually). The following shall apply each time Owner and Landlord desire to sell a Canadian Hotel under this Section 24.16:

(a) Owner and Landlord shall first offer to sell such Canadian Hotel(s) to Manager, without representation or warranty, for such purchase price as Owner and Landlord shall specify in a written notice given to Manager. In the event that Manager shall fail to accept or reject such offer within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such notice, such offer shall be deemed to be rejected by Manager.

(b) If Manager accepts an offer made with respect to any Canadian Hotel pursuant to this Section 24.16, then effective as of the date of such sale, the following shall apply: (i) Landlord shall deliver to Manager with respect to such Transferred Hotel(s) a deed with covenants against grantor’s acts; (ii) Manager shall deliver to Landlord the purchase price specified in the offer; (iii) the Term shall terminate with respect to such Transferred Canadian Hotel(s); (iv) the Owner’s First Priority shall be reduced by an amount equal to eight percent (8%) of the net (after taking into account any costs paid by Manager) proceeds of sale received by Owner or Landlord.

(c) If Manager rejects or is deemed to have rejected any offer made with respect to any Canadian Hotel(s) pursuant to this Section 24.16, then Owner and Landlord shall have the right, for a period of one (1) year from the date on which such offer is rejected or deemed rejected, to sell such Canadian Hotel(s) to any third party on such terms and conditions as Owner and Landlord shall determine in their sole discretion; provided, however, in no event shall the purchase price with respect to such Canadian Hotel(s) be less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the purchase price offered to Manager under this Section 24.16. If Owner and Landlord fail to consummate the sale of such Canadian Hotel(s) within one (1) year from the date on which their offer is rejected or deemed rejected, then

Owner and Landlord shall be obligated again to first offer such Canadian Hotel(s) to Manager in accordance with this Section 24.16 prior to selling it to any third party. If Owner and Landlord sell such Canadian Hotel(s) to any third party in accordance with this Section 24.16, then the following shall apply:

(i) Subject to the execution or delivery of a New Management Agreement as provided below, this Agreement with respect to such Transferred Canadian Hotel(s) shall be terminated effective as of the date title is transferred to such Transferred Canadian Hotel.

(ii) Simultaneously with such termination, Manager and the transferee of such Transferred Canadian Hotel(s) or any tenant under a new lease with respect to such Transferred Canadian Hotel(s) (which new lease shall have a term equal to the then unexpired term of the Lease and shall impose no greater liability, responsibility, or obligation on Manager than the Lease) shall enter into a new management agreement (a “New Management Agreement”) with Manager on substantially the same terms as this Agreement except as otherwise provided herein for a term equal to the unexpired portion of the Term of this Agreement.

(iii) Manager, Owner, Landlord and the transferee (or its tenant), acting reasonably, shall allocate amounts in the Reserve Account and the Working Capital between such Transferred Canadian Hotel(s) and the other Hotels. The parties shall also make reasonable allocations with respect to Owner’s Fixed Priority, and any outstanding advances made by Owner, Manager or their respective Affiliates. Only for purposes of allocating Owner’s Fixed Priority between the Transferred Canadian Hotel(s) and the other Hotels, the allocation of Owner’s First Priority and Owner’s Second Priority for each Hotel shall be proportional to the Operating Profit of such Hotel(s) for the then most recently ended thirty-six (36) months relative to the Operating Profit of all the other Hotels for such period. Amounts which are allocated to the Transferred Canadian Hotel(s) shall be transferred to the transferee thereof to be held by Manager or such transferee (or its tenant) pursuant to the New Management Agreement.

(iv) Following such sale or transfer, Owner, its Affiliates and the Hotels which are not Transferred Canadian Hotel(s) shall have no responsibilities with

respect to amounts that are so transferred and the transferee, its tenant and their Affiliates and the Transferred Canadian Hotel(s) shall have no responsibility with respect to amounts which are not so transferred.

(v) From and after the consummation of such sale or other transfer and compliance with the terms hereof, the term “Hotels” as used herein shall not include the Transferred Canadian Hotel(s).

(vi) Owner shall be responsible to cause its Affiliates, any new tenant and the transferee to execute and deliver the documents contemplated by this Section 24.16 to be executed and delivered by them.

24.17 Commercial Leases. Manager shall not enter into any sublease with respect to any Hotel (or any part thereof) unless the same has been approved by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, Manager may sublease or grant concessions or licenses to shops or any other space at a Hotel subject to the following terms and conditions: (a) subleases and concessions are for newsstand, gift shop, parking garage, health club, restaurant, bar or commissary purposes or similar concessions; (b) such subleases and concessions do not have a term in excess of the lesser of five (5) years or the remaining Term under this Agreement; (c) such subleases and concessions do not demise, (i) in the aggregate, in excess of five thousand (5,000) square feet of any Hotel, or (ii) for any single sublease, in excess of two thousand (2,000) square feet of any Hotel; (d) any such sublease, license or concession to an Affiliate of a Manager shall be on terms consistent with those that would be reached through arms-length negotiation; (e) for so long as Landlord or any Affiliate of Landlord shall seek to qualify as a real estate investment trust under the Code, anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Manager shall not sublet or otherwise enter into any agreement with respect to a Hotel on any basis such that in the opinion of the Owner the rental or other fees to be paid by any sublessee thereunder would be based, in whole or in part, on either (i) the income or profits derived by the business activities of such sublessee, or (ii) any other formula such that any portion of such sublease rental would fail to qualify as “rents from real property” within the meaning of Section 865(d) of the Code or any similar or successor provision thereto; (f) such lease or concession will not violate or affect any Legal Requirement or Insurance Requirement; (g) Manager shall obtain or cause the subtenant to obtain such additional insurance coverage applicable to the activities to be conducted

in such subleased space as Owner and any mortgagee under an Authorized Mortgage may reasonably require; and (h) not less than twenty (20) days prior to the date on which Manager proposes to enter into any sublease or concession, Manager shall provide a copy thereof to Owner.

24.18 Nonliability of Trustees. THE DECLARATION OF TRUST ESTABLISHING EACH ENTITY COMPRISING LANDLORD, A COPY OF WHICH, TOGETHER WITH ALL AMENDMENTS THERETO (COLLECTIVELY, THE “DECLARATION”), IS DULY FILED WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF ASSESSMENTS AND TAXATION OF THE STATE OF MARYLAND, PROVIDES THAT, AND MANAGER HEREBY AGREES THAT, THE NAME OF EACH SUCH LANDLORD REFERS TO THE TRUSTEES UNDER THE DECLARATION COLLECTIVELY AS TRUSTEES, BUT NOT INDIVIDUALLY OR PERSONALLY, AND THAT NO TRUSTEE, OFFICER, SHAREHOLDER, EMPLOYEE OR AGENT SHALL BE HELD TO ANY PERSONAL LIABILITY, JOINTLY OR SEVERALLY, FOR THE PAYMENT OF ANY SUM OR THE PERFORMANCE OF ANY OBLIGATION OF, OR CLAIM AGAINST, SUCH ENTITY. ALL PERSONS DEALING WITH SUCH ENTITY, IN ANY WAY, SHALL LOOK ONLY TO THE ASSETS OF SUCH ENTITY FOR THE SATISFACTION OF ANY OBLIGATION.

24.19 Arbitration

(a) Disputes. Any disputes, claims or controversies between or among the parties hereto arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including disputes, claims or controversies relating to the meaning, interpretation, effect, validity, performance or enforcement of this Agreement (all of which are referred to as “Disputes”) or relating in any way to such a Dispute or Disputes, shall on the demand of any party to such Dispute be resolved through binding and final arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect, except as modified herein. 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 arbitrators. If there are only two parties to the Dispute, each party shall select one arbitrator within 15 days after receipt of a demand for arbitration. Such arbitrators may be affiliated or interested persons of such parties. If there are more than two 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 arbitrator within 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 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 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 days from the date the AAA provides such list to select one of the three arbitrators proposed by AAA. If such party (or parties) fail to select such arbitrator by such time, the party (or parties) who have appointed the first arbitrator shall then have ten days to select one of the three arbitrators proposed by AAA to be the second arbitrator; and, if he/they should fail to select such arbitrator by such time, the AAA shall select, within 15 days thereafter, one of the three arbitrators it had proposed as the second arbitrator. The two arbitrators so appointed shall jointly appoint the third and presiding arbitrator (who shall be neutral, impartial and unaffiliated with any party) within 15 days of the appointment of the second arbitrator. If the third 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. The place of arbitration shall be New York, New York unless otherwise agreed by the parties.

(d) 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.

(e) Arbitration Award. In rendering an award or decision (the “Arbitration Award”), the arbitrators shall be required to follow the laws of the State of Maryland. Any arbitration proceedings or Arbitration Award rendered hereunder and the validity, effect and interpretation of this arbitration agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1 et seq. The Arbitration 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.

(f) Costs. Except to the extent expressly provided by this Agreement or as otherwise agreed between the parties, 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). Each party (or, if there are more than two 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 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 appointed arbitrator.

(g) Final Judgment. The Arbitration Award shall be final and binding upon the parties thereto and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between such parties relating to the Dispute, including any claims, counterclaims, issues or accounting presented to the arbitrators. Judgment upon the Arbitration 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 as provided in Section 24.19(h) below, for actions relating to enforcement of this agreement to arbitrate 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.

(h) Injunctive Relief. The parties may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction with respect to any Dispute involving Intellectual Property in which injunctive relief is sought. Additionally, a party which has requested injunctive relief which has been denied by the arbitrators may apply to court of competent jurisdiction provided such court shall be a state or federal court in the State of New York.

(i) Payment. Any monetary award shall be made and payable in U.S. dollars free of any tax, deduction or offset. The party against which the Arbitration Award assesses a monetary obligation shall pay that obligation on or before the 30th day following the date of the Arbitration Award or such other date as the Arbitration Award may provide.

(j) Expedited Procedures. Anything in this Section 24.19 to the contrary notwithstanding, any Dispute arising in connection with the approval of a proposed Yearly Budget shall be resolved by Arbitration under the AAA’s Commercial Expedited Procedures. The Expedited Procedures shall apply to such Dispute regardless of the amount in controversy.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Expedited Procedures (i) all persons proposed to serve as an arbitrator with respect to such Dispute shall be independent nationally recognized hotel consultants and (ii) unless the parties otherwise agree, an evidentiary hearing shall be held. To the extent not inconsistent with the Expedited Procedures as modified by this Section 24.19(i), all other provisions of Section 24.19 shall apply to such Arbitration.

24.20 Estoppel Certificates. Each party to this Agreement shall at any time and from time to time, upon not less than fifteen (15) days’ prior notice from the other party, execute, acknowledge and deliver to such other party, or to any third party specified by such other party, a statement in writing: (a) certifying that this Agreement is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that the same, as modified, is in full force and effect and stating the modifications); (b) stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the certifying party (i) there is a continuing default by the non-certifying party in the performance or observance of any covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Agreement, or (ii) there shall have occurred any event which, with the giving of notice or passage of time or both, would become such a default, and, if so, specifying each such default or occurrence of which the certifying party may have knowledge; (c) stating the date to which distributions of Operating Profits have been made; and (d) stating such other information as the non-certifying party may reasonably request. Such statement shall be binding upon the certifying party and may be relied upon by the non-certifying party and/or such third party specified by the non-certifying party as aforesaid, including, without limitation, its and its Affiliates’ lenders and any prospective Landlord or mortgagee of any Hotel.

24.21 Confidentiality.

(a) The parties hereto agree that the matters set forth in this Agreement and the information provided pursuant to the terms hereof are strictly confidential and each party will make every effort to ensure that the information is not disclosed to any outside person or entities (including the press) without the prior written consent of the other party except as may be required by law and as may be reasonably necessary to obtain licenses, permits, and other public approvals necessary for the refurbishment or operation of the Hotels, or in connection with financing, proposed financing, sale or proposed sale or as may be required pursuant to any ground lease of the Hotels.

(b) No reference to Manager or to any of its Affiliates will be made in any prospectus, private placement memorandum, offering circular or offering documentation related thereto (collectively referred to as the “Prospectus”), issued by Owner or any of its Affiliates, which is designated to interest potential investors in a Hotel, unless Manager has previously received a copy of all such references. However, regardless of whether Manager does or does not so receive a copy of all such references, neither Manager nor any of its Affiliates will be deemed a sponsor of the offering described in the Prospectus, nor will it have any responsibility for the Prospectus, and the Prospectus will so state. Unless Manager agrees in advance, the Prospectus will not include any trademark, symbols, logos or designs of Manager or any of its Affiliates.
