(a)Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts not to exceed the Pre-Commencement Budget, but may do so to the extent that there are changes in the scope, timing or other assumptions upon which the Pre-Commencement Budget was based; and

(b)To the extent the contents of the Pre-Commencement Budget are insufficient, due to changes in scope, timing or other assumptions, to open the Hotel to the general public under the Brand Name, the same shall not be deemed to be a “delay primarily caused by Manager” for purposes of Section 10.02.2(a) or be deemed a waiver by Manager to terminate the Management Agreement pursuant to Section 10.02.2(a).

Double Tree Resort by Hilton Myrtle Beach Oceanfront - MA

-17-

(collectively, the "Services") to the Hotel.

Accordingly, Owner agrees that Manager shall have the right to: (a) modify the structure, scope, delivery, fees, costs and terms of any Services; (b) add new, or discontinue existing Services; or (c) make mandatory Services optional, or make optional Services mandatory, as Manager deems advisable from time to time, each such change to be implemented upon no less than sixty days' notice to Owner; provided that in each case that following any such change, the Services shall continue to be allocated on a fair and equitable basis considering the factors that Manager or its Affiliate deems most relevant, including the nature of the Services provided, the benefit received, and the marginal cost of providing the Services to different classes of hotels (recognizing that one or more of such hotels may have unique characteristics or circumstances justifying a different basis).

4.03.2Centralized Purchasing. During the Pre-Brand Commencement Date Period, Manager may, and on and following the Brand Commencement Date Manager shall, furnish centralized purchasing programs for goods, supplies, equipment and services for the Hotel, including Operating Supplies, Operating Equipment, insurance and long distance telephone services, to the same extent furnished to Other Managed Hotels.

For purposes of calculating Owner's proportionate share of such pre‑tax profits, Manager shall use the number of available rooms at the Hotel divided by the total number of available rooms in all hotels participating in such services, or any other manner that reasonably approximates the proportionate share of purchases made by the Hotel in relation to the total purchases made by all hotels participating in Manager's purchasing services.

4.03.3Services by Affiliates. Manager may provide any service required by this Agreement through an Affiliate. If Manager arranges for an Affiliate of Manager to perform services Manager is required to provide, Manager is ultimately responsible to Owner, and Owner shall not pay more for the Affiliate's services and expenses than Manager would have been entitled to receive under this Agreement had Manager performed the services.

Double Tree Resort by Hilton Myrtle Beach Oceanfront - MA

The Services Fees may include amounts reasonably calculated to cover the overhead and other costs incurred by Manager or its Affiliate, including: (i) recovery of development costs and promotion costs for such Services; (ii) costs of equipment employed in providing the Services; (iii) costs of operating, maintaining and upgrading the Services; (iv) the costs

Manager represents and warrants to Owner that Services Fees do not include a profit component (i.e., a mark-up in addition to the cost of the items provided as part of the Services). Owner acknowledges that, from time to time, there might be a current surplus or current deficit of funds for any one or more Services and that any retention of funds for use at a later date (including interest earned thereon) shall not constitute a profit.

To the extent that any Employment Costs or other expense payable by Owner or reimbursable to Manager or its Affiliates is not incurred solely for the benefit of the Hotel, Manager shall allocate such amount or expense accordingly.

4.05Place and Means of Payment.

4.05.1Payment. Manager shall pay itself the amounts due it under Section 4.04 from the Hotel Accounts each month concurrently with the delivery of the monthly report under Section 5.08.1. The Base Fee and CAR Fee paid each month shall be the applicable percentage of the Total Operating Revenue or Campground Area Revenue (as applicable) as set forth in such monthly report. The Incentive Fee paid each month shall be the difference between: (a) 15% of year-to-date Incentive Income; less (b) the aggregate of Incentive Fees paid year-to-date. If the aggregate monthly Management Fees paid during an Operating Year either exceed or are less than the Management Fee shown in the annual report for such Operating Year, then Manager shall deposit into or withdraw the amount of such overpayment or underpayment, as the case may be, from the Hotel Accounts.

4.05.2Taxes. All amounts shall be paid to Manager in United States dollars, in immediately available funds, without reduction for any withholding tax, value added tax and any other assessment, tax, duty, levy or charge required under the applicable laws of any applicable jurisdiction. If any gross receipts, sales, use, excise or similar tax that is based upon gross income or revenues is imposed upon Manager for the receipt of any payments under this Section 4.05, then Owner shall also pay Manager an amount equal to such tax. If any gross receipts, sales, use, excise or similar tax that is based upon gross income or revenues is imposed upon the payment made pursuant to this Section 4.05, the amount due will be such that the net amount retained by Manager, after payment of such tax, equals the amount payable to Manager under Section 4.05 as if no gross receipts, sales, use, excise or similar tax had been imposed upon Manager for the receipts of any payments under this Section 4.05.

4.05.3Interest. To the extent that there are insufficient available funds in the Hotel Accounts for Manager to pay itself the amounts due it under this Section 4.05, all unpaid amounts shall bear interest at an annual rate of interest equal to the lesser of: (a) the prevailing lending rate of Manager's principal bank for working capital loans to Manager plus 3%; and (b) the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Interest shall accrue from the date payment was first due until either: (i) there are sufficient funds in the Hotel Accounts for Manager to pay itself the entire outstanding amount; or (ii) Owner otherwise pays Manager the entire outstanding amount.

4.06Hotel Personnel.

4.06.1Manager as Employer. Manager or its Affiliate shall be the employer, and shall have sole discretion and authority over the hiring, firing, promotion, supervision, training and compensation, of the Hotel Personnel (except as provided in Section 4.06.2 below); provided, however, all Employment Costs of

Double Tree Resort by Hilton Myrtle Beach Oceanfront - MA

-21-

Hotel Personnel shall be the responsibility of Owner, subject in all instances to the Budgets and as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. Manager is permitted to draw on the Hotel Accounts in connection with the payment of such Employment Costs to the Hotel Personnel.

Prior to appointing a member of the Executive Staff, Manager shall provide Owner with a written summary of such individual's professional experience and qualifications and shall offer Owner the opportunity to interview the candidate at the Hotel or another mutually acceptable location. Owner shall forego its right to interview any such individual if Owner or its authorized representative is unwilling or unable to participate in the interview within five business days following Manager's offer. Owner shall be deemed to have approved the appointment of any such individual unless Owner delivers notice of its disapproval of such appointment within ten business days after Manager's offer to Owner to interview the candidate. Owner acknowledges that it may not reject more than three qualified candidates proposed by Manager for any Executive Staff position each time the position is being filled and if Owner disapproves three proposed qualified candidates, Manager may hire any of the three qualified candidates in its sole discretion.

4.06.3Labor Relations. Manager shall have the exclusive authority to negotiate with any labor unions representing the Hotel Personnel, and shall so negotiate for the best interests of Owner. Any collective bargaining agreement or labor contract will be executed by Manager or its Affiliate as the employer.  For the avoidance of doubt, neither Manager nor its Affiliates shall have authority to bind Owner or Lessor with respect to any other hotels owned or leased by Owner or Lessor except to the extent Manager or its Affiliates operate such hotel on behalf of Owner or Lessor and then only pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the related management agreement with Owner or Lessor. With respect to labor negotiations not involving multi-employer bargaining arrangements applicable to the Hotel and other hotel properties not owned or operated by Manager, Manager shall consult with Owner in advance of, and, to the extent practicable, during the course of, negotiations with any labor union.

4.06.4Manager Personnel. Manager may temporarily assign its (or its Affiliates') employees from other hotels or from its corporate offices to act as an Executive Staff member, or with respect to other managerial positions of the Hotel. Manager shall allocate the Employment Costs of such personnel to the Hotel in proportion to the time and services rendered to the Hotel by the personnel.

Manager shall charge the Hotel with the Hotel's pro rata share of the costs and expenses of such plans allocated to the Hotel on the same basis as allocated to participating Other Managed Hotels.

(b)Manager may (but shall not be required to) provide benefits and allow participation in such plans on whatever modified basis as it may determine appropriate under the circumstances, and may waive any waiting period or any preconditions to coverage or participation otherwise applicable to such employees. No statement, promise, representation or warranty regarding the terms of such plans or the participation or coverage of employees shall be enforceable, binding or effective in any way unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Manager.

4.06.7Non-Solicitation. Owner, its Affiliates, and Owner's representatives, and their respective successors and assigns shall not solicit the employment of Corporate Personnel or any member of the Executive Staff at any time during the Term or within twelve months following termination of this Agreement (provided that the foregoing restriction shall not apply with respect to Executive Staff in the event of a termination pursuant to a Manager Event of Default) without Manager's prior written approval.

4.07Capital Expenditures.

not be responsible for making any Major Capital Expenditures, unless specifically agreed upon by Manager and Owner.

4.07.2FF&E Expenditures. Manager shall use the funds in the FF&E Reserve for FF&E Expenditures. If at any time there are insufficient available funds in the FF&E Reserve to pay for FF&E Expenditures required or permitted under this Agreement, Manager shall notify Owner of the amount required and, within thirty days after such notice, Owner (or Lessor) shall provide sufficient amounts to Manager for the FF&E Expenditures.

5.01Bank Accounts. Manager shall establish and maintain bank accounts in the name of Owner (or with respect to the FF&E Reserve and accounts relating to Campground Area Revenue, Lessor) at a banking institution or institutions mutually selected by Owner and Manager (collectively, the "Hotel Accounts"). Manager shall deposit in the applicable Hotel Accounts all monies furnished by or on behalf of Owner as working funds under Section 5.03(b) and all monies received from the operation of the Hotel, and shall disburse the same for the purposes set forth in Section 5.04. Manager may maintain such funds as it reasonably deems proper in house banks or in petty cash funds at the Hotel.

Manager shall establish controls to ensure accurate reporting of all transactions involving the Hotel Accounts. Unless due to Manager's Grossly Negligent or Willful Acts, any loss suffered in the Hotel Accounts, or in any investment of funds into any such account, shall be borne by Owner, and Manager shall have no liability or responsibility therefor. Manager shall reasonably cooperate with Owner, at Owner’s expense, to transfer the Hotel Accounts to be in the name of Lessor or Owner, as applicable, in the event such change is necessary to comply with REIT requirements.

5.02FF&E Reserve.

5.02.1Establishment of FF&E Reserve. From the revenues from the operation of the Hotel, or with funds provided by or on behalf of Owner (or Lessor) under Section 5.03(b) or otherwise, Manager shall establish and maintain a reserve (the "FF&E Reserve").

Year)
Second	2%
Third	3%
Fourth and thereafter	4%

Reserve shall be added to the FF&E Reserve, but shall not be credited against amounts required to be added thereto. Any amounts remaining in the FF&E Reserve at the end of each Operating Year shall be carried forward until fully expended, but shall not be credited against required contributions to the FF&E Reserve for any subsequent Operating Year.

5.02.4     Additional Contributions. As the Hotel ages, the contribution to the FF&E Reserve described in this Section 5.02 may not be sufficient for the replacements, renewals and additions to the FF&E required to maintain the Brand Standards. If Manager, acting reasonably, determines that the percentage contribution to the FF&E Reserve is not adequate to maintain the Brand Standards, Manager shall notify Owner and the parties shall, acting in good faith, endeavor to agree upon an appropriate adjustment to the FF&E Reserve contribution.

5.03Working Funds. Owner shall provide working funds to Manager, to be deposited into the Hotel Accounts, within fifteen business days of a request by Manager stating the amount required and the necessity for such funds. Owner shall provide (or shall cause Lessor to provide) sufficient funds to ensure the uninterrupted and efficient operation of the Hotel, in accordance with the then-applicable Budget or as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, including sufficient funds to pay all of the items described in Section 5.04. If Owner (or Lessor) does not deposit the funds requested by Manager, Manager may withdraw such funds from the FF&E Reserve. In such event, Manager shall notify Owner and Owner shall immediately replenish (or shall cause Lessor to immediately replenish) the funds withdrawn from the FF&E Reserve. On or prior to the Commencement Date, Owner shall deposit (or cause Lessor to deposit) initial working funds in the amount of at least US$600,000 (it being agreed by Owner and Manager that approximately $300,000 of the foregoing $600,000 has been funded on the date hereof from Owner’s Permitted Mortgagee’s seasonality reserve) into the Hotel Accounts. In addition, Manager may (but is not obliged to) use or pledge its credit or advance its own funds to make ordinary and customary purchases of goods and payments for services for the Hotel on Owner's behalf, in which event:

(a)Owner shall pay for such purchases when payment is due and shall indemnify and defend Manager against all losses, costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees and costs, interest and any late payment fees, that may be incurred by or asserted against Manager by reason of Owner's failure to pay for such purchases; and

represent Manager’s proprietary information (unless such proprietary information is required in order to ensure the orderly continuation of the operation of the Hotel subject to Legal Requirements)). In addition to the Hotel's books and records, Manager shall maintain any guest profiles, contact information, histories and other information obtained or collected by Manager at the Hotel in the ordinary course of business from guests of the Hotel relating specifically to such guests' stay at the Hotel (the "Hotel Guest Data"). During and after the Term, Manager shall retain, use and otherwise process the Hotel Guest Data in accordance with its publicly posted privacy policy, as amended from time to time, and use its reasonable efforts to retain, use and otherwise process the Hotel Guest Data in accordance with all Legal Requirements. Owner shall not be permitted to use the Hotel Guest Data for any purpose during the Term.

The foregoing obligations of Owner and Manager which are imposed both during and after the Term shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Pending the resolution of any dispute regarding line items in the Operating Budget, Manager shall operate the Hotel in accordance with the approved line items and may make any expenditures which Owner otherwise is required to approve in accordance with Section 5.06.3. With respect to all other line items, Manager may make expenditures up to the amount actually spent for such items in the immediately preceding Operating Year increased by the difference between the CPI on January 1 of the Operating Year immediately preceding the Operating Year in question and the CPI on January 1 of the Operating Year in question, subject to further adjustment under Section 5.06.5.

(b)Capital Budget during Dispute. Pending the resolution of any dispute regarding the Capital Budget, Manager may not make any expenditures for disputed Capital Expenditures other than for ongoing Capital Expenditures from the prior Operating Year.

Unless not practical due to the emergency nature of an expenditure, Manager shall notify Owner at least thirty days prior to making any expenditure from the FF&E Reserve that was not specifically contemplated in the Capital Budget. Owner shall provide all funds necessary for any approved Capital Expenditure, except for FF&E Expenditures paid for from the FF&E Reserve, subject in all instances to the Capital Budget and as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.

Manager may from time to time during each Operating Year prepare re-forecasts based on actual operations during the elapsed portion of the Operating Year and Manager's judgment as to revenues and expenses anticipated for the remainder of the Operating Year, but such re-forecasts shall not be modifications of the approved Budgets then in effect without Owner's approval.

ARTICLE VI

INSURANCE AND INDEMNITIES

6.01Required Insurance Coverage. Owner shall obtain and maintain insurance in accordance with the terms of the Brand Standards (the "Brand Insurance Requirements"). In addition to the Brand Insurance Requirements, Owner shall also be bound by the terms contained in this ARTICLE VI, which shall supersede anything to the contrary contained in the Brand Insurance Requirements.

6.02Specific Requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(a)the general liability and auto liability limits shall be no less than US$100,000,000;

(b)the crime insurance limit for employee dishonesty shall be no less than US$2,000,000; and

(c)employment practices liability insurance shall be obtained in an amount no less than US$2,000,000. Such insurance shall include coverage for "mass"/class action multi‑party claims, and shall specifically amend the definition of "Employer" to include both Owner and Manager, regardless of who is the statutory employer.

6.03Responsibility for Maintaining Insurance. Owner is responsible for maintaining insurance meeting the requirements of this ARTICLE VI. However, notwithstanding the requirements of Section 6.02 to the contrary, if Manager is the statutory employer of the employees of the Hotel, Manager must procure and maintain, at Owner's expense, crime insurance for employee dishonesty, employment practices liability insurance, workers' compensation and employer's liability coverage. If Owner or another party is the statutory employer of the employees of the Hotel, then Owner or such other party must obtain workers' compensation and employer's liability coverage in satisfaction of the requirements of this Section 6.03. Owner may request Manager, at the expense of Owner, to procure and maintain the other types of required

Double Tree Resort by Hilton Myrtle Beach Oceanfront - MA

-32-

insurance except the general liability and auto liability insurance referenced in Section 6.02(a). If Owner so requests, the following shall apply:

(a)Manager shall not be obligated to purchase insurance programs on behalf of Owner that meet Owner's insurance requirements under this Agreement.

(b)Upon termination or assignment of this Agreement, or material breach by Owner, insurance coverage under any and all Manager-purchased insurance programs shall terminate with respect to Owner and Owner's property and Owner's insurance risks in the same manner as if the insurance had expired on the date of such termination, assignment or breach.

(c)Participation in a Manager-purchased insurance program shall require a commitment of at least three annual policy periods by Owner, after which Owner shall again have the option to purchase its own insurance or continue in the Manager-purchased insurance program, subject always to the terms of paragraphs (a) and (b) above. However, if Owner obtains financing under the terms of which a lender requires insurance of a type or quality which a Manager-purchased insurance program does not satisfy in whole or part, then Owner shall be relieved from its three year commitment hereunder.

(d)Manager-purchased insurance programs, if any, maintained by Manager under this Section 6.03 may, at Manager's option, be effected under policies of blanket insurance which also cover Other Managed Hotels. Manager shall have the right to charge the Hotel a share of the total cost paid by Manager, such share to be allocated to the Hotel using the same methodology or formula as used to allocate to other participating Managed Hotels. The "total cost" will include all costs associated with the procurement and maintenance of that insurance program, including premiums, taxes, assessments, agent/broker fees, agent/broker commissions, claims within deductibles, administrative costs of risk management and claims personnel of Manager, actuarial fees, collateral costs, and claims administration fees.

(e)Manager-purchased insurance programs, if any, maintained by Manager under this Section 6.03 may contain deductible or retention provisions for which Owner shall be entirely responsible. If such a deductible or retention expense is incurred, Manager may either invoice Owner with the payment to be made directly by Owner or Manager may initially pay the expense on behalf of Owner and then charge the cost back to Owner either directly or through the allocation of costs as provided in paragraph (d) above.

(f)Manager-purchased insurance programs, if any, maintained by Manager under this Section 6.03 may use elements of self-insurance or self-assumption including the use of captives or other forms of alternative risk financing.

(g)Manager does not warrant that the insurance programs it purchases, if any, will be more advantageous or competitive relative to the alternatives Owner may be able to procure; however, such programs will be provided to the Hotel on the same terms as any Other Managed Hotels.

6.04Liability for Claims. The insurance requirements contained herein shall not be construed in any manner to replace, relieve or limit Owner's indemnity obligations for any loss or Claims arising out of this Agreement or otherwise.

6.05Ability of Manager to 'Force Place' Insurance. If Owner does not obtain and continuously maintain in force the insurance and policy limits set forth in Sections 6.01 and 6.02, Manager may (but is not obligated to) obtain and maintain such insurance for Owner. Owner shall reimburse Manager for premiums and other costs incurred by Manager in force placing such insurance.

6.06Changes to Insurance. In addition to modifications made to the Brand Insurance Requirements, Manager shall have the right to raise the minimum amount of insurance to be maintained with respect to the Hotel required under Section 6.02 to make such insurance comparable to the amount of insurance carried with respect to Other Managed Hotels, taking into account the size and location of the Hotel. In addition, neither party shall unreasonably withhold its consent to a written request by the other party, supported by relevant evidence, that such minimum limits of insurance be lowered on the basis that such insurance cannot be obtained in such amounts, or can be obtained only at a prohibitive cost.

6.07Named Insureds. Any insurance policies obtained by Manager shall show Manager or Manager's Affiliate as the principal or first named insured and Owner as an insured. Any insurance policies obtained by Owner shall show Owner as the principal or first named insured and Manager an insured, along with other entities as are named in the Brand Insurance Requirements. If appropriate, property insurance that is obtained on Owner's behalf by Manager shall include a mortgagee endorsement clause in favor of mortgagees, as their interests may appear.

6.08Schedule of Insurance. Upon request, either party shall make available to the other a schedule of insurance obtained by such party pursuant to this ARTICLE VI, listing the policy numbers of the insurance obtained, the names of the companies issuing such policies, the brokers or agents used, the names of the parties insured, the amounts of coverage, the expiration date, and the risks covered, thereby including the policy form, policy declarations, description and list of endorsements. Each party shall provide to the other party certificates of insurance or other satisfactory evidence of all insurance procured and maintained by such party pursuant to this Agreement within a reasonable time following such insurance being taken out, the policy being renewed, amended or cancelled, or otherwise upon the request of the other party. The obligations contained in this Section 6.08 are in addition to the evidence of insurance obligations contained in the Brand Insurance Requirements.

6.09Waiver of Subrogation. Neither Manager nor Owner shall assert against the other, and both Manager and Owner hereby waive with respect to each other, or against any related entity or person, and on behalf of their insurers, any claims for any losses, damages, liability or expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred or sustained by either of them on account of injury to persons or damage to property arising out of the ownership, development, construction, completion, operation or maintenance of the Hotel, to the extent that the same are covered by the insurance required under this ARTICLE VI. Each policy of insurance shall contain a waiver of subrogation reflecting the provisions of this Section 6.09.

6.10Business Interruption Insurance. Business interruption and/or contingent business interruption coverage shall include the fair value of Manager's expected compensation under this Agreement and other fees ordinarily paid to Manager by Owner. Business interruption proceeds shall be allocated between Owner and Manager in proportion to the net income to Owner and fees to Manager that would have been earned during the period to which the proceeds relate.

6.11Indemnities.

6.11.1Owner Indemnity to Manager. Except as provided in Section 6.11.2, Owner shall indemnify, defend and hold Manager harmless for, from and against any and all Claims that Manager may have alleged against it, incur, become responsible for or pay out for any reason related to: (a) the design, construction, development, operation, or ownership of the Hotel (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any environmental condition relating to the Hotel); or (b) Owner's breach of its warranties or representations under Section 13.12.

6.11.2Manager Indemnity to Owner. Manager shall indemnify, defend and hold Owner harmless for, from and against any and all Claims that Owner may have alleged against it, incur, become responsible for or pay out by reason or to the extent caused by Manager's Grossly Negligent or Willful Acts.

6.11.3Defense, Settlement and Insurance Coverage. Owner and Manager acknowledge that their respective indemnity obligations may create a conflict of interest in the defense of a Claim that could be exploited by a claimant. Owner and Manager shall cooperate to defend and resolve any Claim in a manner that minimizes the exposure to the claimant. All Claims asserted against Manager shall be presumptively subject to the indemnity under Section 6.11.1, and all Claims asserted against Owner shall be presumptively not subject to the indemnity under Section 6.11.2, pending final resolution of the Claim. Pending the resolution of any question as to whether Manager or any of its Affiliates or any of its officers or employees are entitled to indemnity under this Section 6.11, Manager is authorized to pay from the Hotel Accounts all expenses of defending or handling any matter referred to in this Section 6.11. To the extent that it is ultimately determined that such entities or persons are not entitled to indemnity hereunder, Manager shall reimburse Owner for all such expenses. After final resolution of the underlying Claim, Owner and Manager shall cooperate in the exchange of any information reasonably necessary to resolve their respective indemnity obligations. The settlement by either party in good faith of any Claim shall not, by itself, create any presumption of the validity of the Claim or that the acts or omissions giving rise to the Claim constitute a basis for indemnity. Owner and Manager shall look first to the appropriate insurance coverages in effect pursuant to this Agreement if any claim or liability occurs as a result of personal injury or property damage, regardless of the cause of such claim or liability.

6.11.4Indemnified Parties. The indemnities contained in this Section 6.11 shall run to the benefit of Owner, Manager, their respective Affiliates, and the directors, partners, members, managers, officers and employees of each such entity.

6.11.5Survival. The provisions of this Section 6.11 shall survive any cancellation, termination or expiration of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect until such time as the applicable statute of limitation shall cut off all demands, claims, actions, damages, losses, liabilities or expenses which are the subject of this Section 6.11.

6.11.6Notice of Indemnity Obligations. Any party seeking indemnity under this Section 6.11 shall notify the other party promptly after receiving notice of the underlying claim. Any omission or delay in providing such notice shall relieve the other party of its indemnity obligation to the extent that it is prejudiced by the omission or delay. Any indemnified party shall be entitled, upon written notice to the indemnifying party, to the timely appointment of counsel by the indemnifying party for the defense of any claim, which counsel shall be subject to the approval of the indemnified party. If, in the indemnified party's judgment, a conflict of interest exists between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party at any time during the defense of the indemnified party, the indemnified party may appoint independent counsel of its choice for the defense of the indemnified party as to such claim. In addition, regardless of whether the indemnified party has appointed counsel or selects independent counsel: (a) the indemnified party has the right to participate in the defense of any claim and approve any proposed settlement of such claim; and (b) all reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees and costs) of the indemnified party shall be paid by the indemnifying party. If the indemnifying party fails to timely pay such costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees and costs), the indemnified party has the right, but not the obligation, to pay such amounts and be reimbursed by the indemnifying party for the same, together with interest thereon in accordance with Section 4.05.3 until paid in full. The Parties hereby acknowledge that it is not a defense to a demand for indemnity that less than all claims asserted against the indemnified party are subject to indemnification.

Owner shall cause the Lessor to enter into an Owner Agreement in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT D (the “Owner Agreement”). Owner further covenants that, subject to the terms and conditions of this ARTICLE VII and the Owner Agreement, it shall maintain throughout the Term full ownership in such leasehold interest and the right to utilize the FF&E and the Operating Equipment. Owner shall ensure that Manager is able to peaceably and quietly operate the Hotel free from molestation, eviction and disturbance by Owner or by any other person or persons claiming by, through or under Owner.

7.02Assignment by Manager.

7.02.1Prohibited Assignments. Except as provided in Section 7.02.2, Manager shall not assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of Owner. Any consent granted by Owner to an assignment shall not be deemed a

-36-

waiver of the covenant herein contained against assignment in any subsequent case. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.02.3, an assignment of this Agreement shall not release Manager from any of its obligations under this Agreement.

7.02.2Permitted Assignments. Manager, without the consent of Owner, has the right to assign this Agreement to: (a) any Affiliate of Manager; (b) any entity which may become an Affiliate as a result of a related and substantially concurrent transaction; (c) any successor or assign of Manager which may result from any merger, consolidation or reorganization involving Manager; or (d) a corporation or other entity which shall acquire all or substantially all of the business and assets of Manager, provided that in each instance, the any such assignee expressly assumes all of Manager’s obligations under this Agreement and shall have, at the time of such assignment, the necessary experience (directly, through its Affiliates, by contract or otherwise) to perform this Agreement and any such assignee is able at the time of such assignment, whether directly, through an Affiliate, by contract or otherwise, to assure the uninterrupted operation of the Hotel in accordance with this Agreement.

7.02.3Release. Upon execution of any assignment permitted under this Section 7.02, Manager shall provide Owner with a copy of the assignment, and thereupon, except in the case of an assignment to an Affiliate of Manager, Manager shall be released of all of its covenants and liabilities hereunder, other than liabilities accruing or based upon events occurring prior to the date of the delivery of such assignment to Owner. Any such release shall be contingent upon the delivery to Owner of an appropriate instrument whereby the assignee shall assume all of the obligations of Manager hereunder.

7.03Assignment by Owner.

7.03.1Prohibited Transfers. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.03, Owner shall not sell, lease or otherwise transfer or convey any interest in the Hotel or this Agreement without the prior written consent of Manager.

7.03.2Manager’s Consent. Manager may withhold its consent to the sale or lease of the Hotel and to the assignment of this Agreement to a proposed purchaser or tenant if: (a) the proposed transferee, or any of its Affiliates, is the owner of a trade name of a chain of hotels which competes with the Brand Name Hotels, irrespective of the number of hotels comprising the competitive chain; (b) the proposed transferee is a Specially Designated National or Blocked Person; (c) the proposed transferee or any of its Affiliates is generally recognized in the community as being of ill repute, is in any other manner a person with whom a prudent business person would not wish to associate in a commercial venture or a person that, in Manager's reasonable determination, would be considered by regulators in the gaming industry in any jurisdiction where Manager or any of its

Double Tree Resort by Hilton Myrtle Beach Oceanfront - MA

-37-

Affiliates holds a gaming license to be an unsuitable business associate of Manager and its Affiliates or is unable to satisfactorily complete Manager's compliance review process; (d) the proposed transferee does not have the ability to fulfill Owner's financial obligations under this Agreement; or (e) the proposed transferee or any of its Affiliates maintained a prior business relationship with Manager or any of its Affiliates that was terminated by Manager or any of its Affiliates, in which event Owner shall be prohibited from assigning this Agreement to the proposed purchaser or tenant. Furthermore, Manager may, at its sole option, condition its consent of any proposed transfer on: (i) the cure of any existing defaults, including the payment in full at the closing of such sale or lease and assignment (the "Closing") of all unpaid obligations owed Manager and its Affiliates by Owner and/or Owner's agreement to undertake and complete renovation of all or part of the Hotel; (ii) receipt of evidence from the purchaser or tenant that insurance coverage, as required by ARTICLE VI, is in full force and effect on the Closing date; and (iii) payment of the amount of any estimated fees and charges which shall accrue to Manager and its Affiliates through the Closing date, which amounts cannot be calculated in full prior to or at the Closing date together with payment of the then-customary application fee being charged by Manager in connection with similar sales or leases. To the fullest practical extent, Owner shall give to Manager sufficient written notice of the date on and place at which such sale or lease is to be consummated in order to give Manager an opportunity to prepare appropriate transfer documents and to be present at such time.

7.03.3Marketing of the Hotel. Owner agrees that it will provide prompt notice to Manager informing Manager that it is marketing the Hotel for sale, lease or other transfer.

7.03.4Effect of Sale or Lease.

(a)If at any time after January 1, 2017 Owner sells, leases or otherwise transfers or conveys the Hotel to an unrelated third party purchaser in a bona fide arm's length transaction, Owner shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving prior written notice (the "Sale Termination Notice") to Manager. The Sale Termination Notice shall set forth an estimate of the effective termination date of this Agreement, which date shall not be less than thirty days subsequent to the date of the Sale Termination Notice. The actual termination shall be effective as of the Closing, regardless of the estimate provided in the Sale Termination Notice. Accordingly, Owner shall, upon reasonable notice, have the right to extend the effective date of such termination for a reasonable period of time based on delays in the Closing, provided that Owner shall pay all actual costs reasonably incurred by Manager in postponing the effectiveness of such termination. On reasonable notice, Owner shall have the right to rescind such Sale Termination Notice, provided that (x) Owner shall pay all actual costs reasonably incurred by Manager as a result of the rescission of the effectiveness of such termination, and (y) Owner recognizes that in anticipation of such termination, certain Hotel Personnel may have resigned from their employment with the Hotel, or certain hotel guests may have cancelled their reservations with the Hotel, and that such factors may negatively impact Manager’s ability to operate the Hotel pursuant to the Operating Budget. As a condition of any

Double Tree Resort by Hilton Myrtle Beach Oceanfront - MA

-38-

termination of this Agreement by Owner under this Section 7.03.4(a), (i) Owner shall pay to Manager, on or before the effective date of such termination all amounts due Manager and its Affiliates under this Agreement for the period of time prior to the date of termination and (ii) the proposed unrelated third party purchaser must be approved for, and enter into, a franchise agreement with Manager or its Affiliate to license the Brand Name for the Hotel under the licensor’s then-current terms and conditions; but which the parties agree shall provide for (1) a term of not less than the then-remaining balance of the then-current Term under this Agreement, and (2) a territorial restriction substantially similar to the territorial restriction set forth in this Agreement which shall remain in effect for the Restricted Area until December 30, 2022 (a “Replacement Franchise Agreement”). If this Agreement is terminated by Owner pursuant to this Section 7.03.4(a), Owner shall not be responsible for repayment of the unamortized Key Money; provided, however, that as an additional condition to termination of this Agreement the Replacement Franchise Agreement and related ancillary documents shall provide that if the Replacement Franchise Agreement is terminated for any reason prior to the scheduled expiration date of the Initial Term, then the third party purchaser shall refund to Manager’s Affiliate an amount equal (a) the Key Money, multiplied by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of whole calendar years from the date of such termination until the scheduled expiration of the Initial Term, and the denominator of which is 20.

(b)Unless this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.03.4(a), the Hotel shall not be sold or leased unless the purchaser or tenant, as the case may be, first delivers to Manager an executed written instrument, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Manager, expressly assuming and agreeing to perform all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Upon any such sale or lease of the Hotel in accordance with this Section 7.03, all of the rights and obligations of Owner hereunder shall vest in the purchaser or tenant, as the case may be, and all such rights and obligations of the seller or lessor shall thereupon terminate (with the exception of any liabilities or obligations incurred prior to the date of such sale or lease, as to which the seller or lessor shall remain fully liable). If Owner does not satisfy any terms and conditions of this Section 7.03, consent to any sale, lease or transfer of the Hotel and/or assignment of this Agreement shall be deemed withheld by Manager and any such sale, lease, transfer and/or assignment shall be a default hereunder.

7.03.5Transfer of Controlling Interest in Owner. The voluntary or involuntary sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition, or transfer by operation of law (other than by will or the laws of intestate succession) of (i) any of Equity Interests in Owner the result of which is that after such transaction thirty-five percent (35%) or more of the Equity Interests in Owner is owned, directly or indirectly, by any one person or entity that, as of the Effective Date, is not a direct or indirect owner of 35% or more of an Equity Interest in Owner (the “Transfer Threshold”), or (ii) a controlling interest in Owner (i.e., the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of Owner, whether through the ownership of voting securities or by contract or otherwise), shall be deemed a sale or lease of the Hotel with respect to Sections 7.03.1 and 7.03.2, and shall be subject to the same rights of Manager as set forth in such Sections. Owner from time to time, upon the written request of

Double Tree Resort by Hilton Myrtle Beach Oceanfront - MA

Owner shall notify Manager of any contemplated sale or other disposition of a controlling interest in Owner in writing with the names and addresses of the transferee or transferees of such controlling interest.

8.01Defective Conditions. If the design or construction of the Hotel is defective, and the defective condition causes material damage to the Hotel, poses a risk of injury to people or property, does not comply with the Brand Standards, or is not in compliance with one or more Legal Requirements, after written notice from Manager, Owner shall as expeditiously as possible remedy such defect. To the extent such design or construction poses a risk of injury to people or is results in the Hotel not being in compliance with one or more Legal Requirements, Owner's obligation to proceed expeditiously shall apply regardless of whether or when insurance proceeds may be available to cover the necessary expenditures. Any amounts expended by Owner in

-45-

effecting the remedy of any such defect shall not be deducted in determining Total Operating Revenue and shall not be funded from any of the Hotel Accounts (other than the FF&E Reserve to the extent any such remedy requires FF&E Expenditures).

8.02Damage or Destruction. If the Hotel is damaged by fire or other casualty and: (a) the cost of restoration exceeds 25% of the replacement cost of the Resort Land and Buildings and parking garage located within the Non-Resort Land and Buildings, but specifically excluding land, excavations, footings and foundations; (b) the estimated length of time required to restore the Hotel substantially to its pre‑casualty condition and character is more than one hundred eighty days, as indicated by an architect's certificate or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Manager; or (c) the Mortgagee does not make sufficient proceeds of insurance available to Owner to permit Owner to rebuild and restore the Hotel to the standards required by this Agreement, then Owner may terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to Manager within sixty days after the occurrence of the casualty and paying the termination fee to the extent required by Section 10.01.4 (in addition to all other fees and amounts payable under Section 10.07(b)). If Owner does not terminate this Agreement, Owner shall diligently commence and complete the restoration of the Hotel to at least the condition and character of the Hotel immediately before the casualty occurred. If Owner does not commence restoration within ninety days after the casualty occurs, or complete restoration within two years after casualty occurs (in each instance subject to extension up to 270 days as a result of any Force Majeure Event), then Manager shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.02.2(f).

If all of the Hotel, or such substantial portion thereof as to make it infeasible, in the reasonable opinion of Owner to restore and continue to operate the remaining portion for the purposes contemplated hereby or in the reasonable opinion of Manager to restore and continue to operate the remaining portion in accordance with the Brand Standards or Standard Practices, shall be taken through the exercise, or by agreement in lieu of the exercise, of the power of eminent domain, then upon the date that Owner shall be required to surrender possession of the Hotel, or a portion thereof, this Agreement shall terminate and neither party shall have any further obligation to the other party hereunder, except for (a) Owner’s obligation to pay to Manager the Termination Fee to the extent required by Section 10.01.4 (in addition to all fees and amounts payable under Section 10.07(b)) and (b) liabilities accruing, or based upon events occurring, prior to or concurrently with the effective date of such termination. If a substantial portion of the Hotel is taken, but Mortgagee fails or refuses to make available to Owner sufficient proceeds of such eminent domain proceedings in order to permit Owner to make appropriate alterations, restorations or repairs to the remainder of the Hotel, so that the Hotel would continue to be operable for the purposes herein contemplated, then Owner and Manager shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other party. Upon the date that Owner shall be required to surrender possession of the Hotel to the condemning authority, this Agreement shall terminate and neither party shall have any further obligation to the other party hereunder, except for (a) Owner’s obligation to pay to Manager the Termination Fee to the extent required by Section 10.01.4 (in addition to all fees and amounts

8.03.2Partial Taking. If such taking of a portion of the Hotel shall not make it infeasible, in the reasonable opinion of Owner to restore and continue to operate the remaining portion for the purposes contemplated hereby or in the reasonable opinion of Manager to restore and continue to operate the remaining portion in accordance with the Brand Standards or Standard Practices, then this Agreement shall not terminate, and Owner shall proceed with all due diligence to repair any damage to the Hotel, or to alter or modify the Hotel so as to render it a complete architectural unit which can be operated as a hotel of substantially the same type and class as before. If Owner does not complete restoration within two years after the taking, then Manager shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.02.2(f).

8.03.3Awards. If the Hotel is taken by the power of eminent domain, Manager shall have the right, but not the obligation, subject to applicable law, either to institute or to intervene in any available administrative proceeding or judicial action intended to determine just compensation for the taking, for the purpose of representing Manager's compensable interest in any award arising from this Agreement and from Manager's right of quiet enjoyment. Any award made to Owner that does not recognize the separate compensable interest of Manager shall be apportioned between the parties in consideration, without limitation, of such factors as: (a) recoupment by Owner of Owner's total investment in the Hotel; (b) return on Owner's total investment in the Hotel to date; (c) actual loss of income (including the Management Fee); (d) loss of reasonably anticipated future income (including the Management Fee); (e) length of the unexpired Initial Term (or, if applicable, the remaining term of any exercised Extension Term); and/or (f) the proportion that the Management Fee has historically borne to the return to Owner after payment of the Management Fee. If Owner and Manager cannot agree upon an apportionment within ninety days after the amount of the award payable to Owner has been determined by settlement or a final judicial determination, either party may submit the dispute for resolution pursuant to Section 12.01.

(b)Within fifteen days after termination, Owner shall pay Manager all Management Fees, reimbursable expenses and other amounts due Manager under the terms of this Agreement through the termination date.

PERFORMANCE TEST

11.01Right of Termination. Subject to Sections 11.03 and 11.04, and so long as no Owner Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Owner has the right to terminate this Agreement if there are two consecutive Operating Years which occur after the 2^nd Full Operating Year following the Brand Commencement Date (each, a "Measurement Year") where for each Measurement Year:

(a)the GOP is less than 90% of the budgeted GOP as set out in the Budgets; and

(b)the RevPAR Index is less than 95% (the "RevPAR Test").

provided, however, that as a condition to Owner exercising its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this ARTICLE XI, Owner must be approved for and enter into a then current form of franchise agreement with Manager’s Affiliate on then current terms and conditions which provides for the continued operation of the Hotel under the Brand Name for not less than the then-remaining balance of the then current Term. Manager or its Affiliates shall not disapprove of Owner as a franchisee so long as, at such time, Owner meets all criteria set forth in Section 7.03.2(a) through (e), and has satisfied all conditions set forth in Section 7.03.2(i) through (iii).

11.02Termination. Owner may exercise its right to terminate this Agreement under Section 11.01 by giving notice to Manager within sixty days after receipt by Owner of the annual report required under Section 5.08.2 for the second of the two Measurement Years (a "Performance Notice") and this Agreement shall terminate on the day ninety days after the Performance Notice. If Owner does not exercise its right strictly in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.02 (time being of the essence), Owner is deemed to have waived its right to terminate this Agreement.

11.03Payment of Cure Amount. If Owner provides Manager with the Performance Notice and Manager pays the Cure Amount to Owner within sixty days after receipt by Manager of

Double Tree Resort by Hilton Myrtle Beach Oceanfront - MA

-55-

the Performance Notice, the Performance Notice is deemed to have been withdrawn and Owner has no right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.01 unless the Measurement Years relate to two consecutive Full Operating Years after the two Measurement Years to which the Performance Notice was related. Manager shall have the right to pay the Cure Amount two times during the Initial Term and once during any Extension Term.

11.04No Termination if Force Majeure. Owner cannot exercise the right of termination under Section 11.01 if the applicable level of GOP or RevPAR is not achieved as a result of: (a) a Force Majeure Event; (b) failure of Owner (or Lessor) to provide working funds to maintain the Hotel after applicable notice from Manager as provided in Section 5.03; (c) a casualty; or (d) a taking by eminent domain. Additionally, Owner cannot exercise the right of termination under Section 11.01 if the applicable level of RevPAR is not achieved as a result of the performance of Capital Expenditure or Major Capital Expenditures adversely affecting a material portion of the income generating areas of the Hotel or any other area material to the operation of the Hotel.

11.05Changes to the Competitive Set.

11.05.1Request for Removal and Replacement.

11.05.2Selection of Replacement. In the event that the removal of a hotel from the Competitive Set is requested by either party and the other party consents to such removal, Owner and Manager, each acting reasonably, endeavor to agree upon one or more replacement hotels to be included in the Competitive Set that consist of hotels in the Hotel's immediate market area that are most comparable to the Hotel in quality, price and market position (with due consideration given to location, age, quality, size, amenities, amount of meeting space and business mix); provided that: (a) any replacement hotel must have been in operation for at least five full years; (b) the Competitive Set includes at least four hotels and no more than six hotels, and (c) a single hotel in the Competitive Set does not account for more than 30% of the total guest rooms of all hotels included in the Competitive Set (the "Replacement Hotel Requirements"). If the parties are unable to reach agreement as to: (i) whether a hotel should be removed from the Competitive Set, and/or (ii) which hotels are to be included in the Competitive Set, either party may submit the matter to an expert for resolution in accordance with Section 12.01.

11.05.3Adjustment to RevPAR Test. In connection with the removal of a hotel from the Competitive Set or the selection of a replacement hotel or hotels for the Competitive Set, either party may also request that the RevPAR Test be modified to account for the changes to the Competitive Set. If the parties are

Double Tree Resort by Hilton Myrtle Beach Oceanfront - MA

-56-

unable to reach agreement as to a modification of the RevPAR Test, either party may request that an expert resolve such dispute, concurrently with the resolution of whether a hotel should be removed from the Competitive Set and/or which hotels are to be included in the Competitive Set.

11.05.4Adjustment to Competitive Set and RevPAR Test. In the event a hotel or hotels are removed from the Competitive Set pursuant to the procedure set forth in this Section 11.05, and the parties determine that the immediate market area does not include a replacement hotel which meets Replacement Hotel Requirements, either party may propose: (a) a replacement hotel which does not meet the Replacement Hotel Requirements for the other party's consideration; and (b) in connection with such proposal, a modification to the RevPAR Test to account for the changes to the Competitive Set that result from the addition of a hotel which does not meet the Replacement Hotel Requirements. If the parties are unable to reach agreement as to: (i) the inclusion of a hotel which does not meet the Replacement Hotel Requirements, and/or (ii) a modification to the RevPAR Test in connection therewith, either party may submit the matter to an expert for resolution in accordance with Section 12.01.

11.05.5Annual Review of Competitive Set. The Competitive Set shall be reviewed and amended as requested under this Section 11.05 and as part of the approval of the Budgets.

12.02.1Selection of the Arbitrators. The party initiating the arbitration shall give notice to the other party setting out the items to be arbitrated. Within five business days, each party shall select and concurrently designate a party-appointed arbitrator. The two party-appointed arbitrators shall select a third, neutral arbitrator as soon as practicable thereafter and a panel consisting of the three arbitrators shall resolve the dispute. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any

dispute the subject matter of which would be valued in an amount less than US$150,000, if the parties mutually agree on a single arbitrator, the dispute may be resolved by such sole arbitrator.

12.02.2Administration. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS and held at a location mutually agreeable to the Owner, Manager and arbitrator(s), and absent such mutual agreement, in New York, NY. If, at the time a dispute arises, JAMS does not exist or is unable to administer the resolution of the dispute, then the dispute resolution process shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). If, at the time a dispute arises, AAA does not exist or is unable to administer the dispute resolution process and the parties cannot agree on the identity of a substitute service provider, then either party may petition the state or federal district court in New York, NY to appoint an arbitrator to administer the arbitration. If the court refuses to do so, either party may proceed by filing an action in any court of competent jurisdiction.

12.02.3Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the service provider except to the extent inconsistent with this Agreement. The arbitrators shall strictly limit discovery, motion practice and collateral proceedings to resolve the dispute at issue as efficiently and expeditiously as reasonably possible.

12.02.4Equitable Relief. Subject to the applicable law, the arbitrators have the power to grant equitable relief, both by way of interim relief or as a part of its final award.

12.02.5Fees and Expenses. During the pendency of the arbitration, the parties shall pay the fees and expenses of their respective party-appointed arbitrators and shall share equally the fees and expenses of the neutral arbitrator. As part of the award, the arbitrators shall designate the party whose position is substantially upheld, who shall recover from the other party all of its reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and expenses, including its share of the fees and costs paid to the neutral arbitrator, expert witness fees, compensation for in‑house counsel, and all other fees and expenses incurred in connection with the arbitration. The arbitrators may determine that neither party's position was substantially upheld or otherwise allocate the fees and expenses in accordance with the relative extent to which either party's position was upheld.

12.03Miscellaneous.

12.03.1Authority. The authority of the arbitrators or the Expert, as the case may be, is limited to deciding the matter submitted to it.

12.03.2Venue and Jurisdiction for Enforcement Proceedings. Each party submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of New York, NY for the purpose of confirming or enforcing any arbitration award rendered pursuant to this Agreement.

Furthermore, if Manager breaches any agency duty, Owner shall not be entitled to: (a) disgorgement, forfeiture or restitution of any compensation paid by Owner to Manager; (b) disgorgement, forfeiture or restitution of any benefit received by Manager in connection with any transaction on behalf of Owner or the Hotel unless the monetary value of such benefit could have been calculated and passed through to Owner in a commercially reasonable manner; (c) divestiture of any financial or other interest held by Manager; or (d) any relief that does not take into account the benefits received by Owner from the services provided by Manager.

13.13Limitations on Fiduciary Duties.

13.13.1The relationship between the parties is that of principal, in the case of Owner, and agent, in the case of Manager. Nothing in this Agreement constitutes, or shall be construed to constitute or create, a partnership, joint venture or lease between Owner and Manager with respect to the Hotel.

13.13.2This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with general principles of contract interpretation without regard to the common law principles of agency (except as expressly provided for in this Agreement), and shall establish and create only duties and obligations enforceable against the parties. It is the intent and desire of the parties that any liability between them shall be based solely on principles of contract law and the express provisions of this Agreement. To the extent any duties, fiduciary or otherwise, that exist or may be implied for any reason whatsoever, including those resulting from the relationship between the parties, and including all duties of loyalty, good faith, fair dealing, care, full disclosure, or any other duty deemed to exist under the common law principles of agency or otherwise, but specifically excluding Corporate Personnel's handling of Owner's funds and the covenant of good faith and fair dealing (unless the Agreement specifically states that a party may perform a duty or obligation in that party's sole discretion) (collectively, the "Implied Fiduciary Duties"), are inconsistent with, or would have the effect of modifying, limiting or restricting, the express provisions of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement prevail.

13.13.3For purposes of assessing Manager's duties and obligations under this Agreement, and subject to Section 13.13.2, the parties acknowledge that the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the duties and obligations set out in this Agreement are intended to satisfy any fiduciary duties which may exist between the parties. The parties also hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waive and release any right, power or privilege either may have to claim or receive from the other party any punitive, exemplary, statutory, or treble damages or any incidental or consequential damages with respect to any breach of the Implied Fiduciary Duties. Furthermore, Owner specifically consents to all transactions and conduct by Manager and its Affiliates described in this Agreement, including those set out below, and waives any Implied Fiduciary Duties which Manager may owe to Owner now, or which may arise in the future, in connection with such transactions or conduct.

(a) Except as provided in Section 13.17, Manager and its Affiliates may establish or engage in any business of any kind or participate in any investment of any kind, whether using any of the Trademarks or any of the other proprietary information of Manager, at any location, in Manager's sole discretion. Furthermore, Manager and its Affiliates may exercise such rights even though these businesses or investments may directly or indirectly compete with the Hotel, with Owner or its Affiliates, or with any other business or investment of Owner or its Affiliates.

(b)Subject to Section 4.03.3, Manager may elect to use the services of its Affiliates in fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement, as specifically described in this Agreement.

Double Tree Resort by Hilton Myrtle Beach Oceanfront - MA

-65-

(c)Subject to Section 4.04.2, Manager and its Affiliates may receive the fees, charges and reimbursements specifically described in this Agreement in connection with the provision of its management services and its Services to the Hotel and for other properties operated, managed, licensed or owned by Manager or its Affiliates.

(d)Subject to Section 4.03.2, Manager and its Affiliates may receive the payments, fees, commissions and reimbursements from vendors in connection with Manager's purchasing services described in this Agreement for the Hotel and for other properties operated, managed, licensed or owned by Manager or its Affiliates.

(e)Manager and its Affiliates may use the Hotel Guest Data in any manner; however, Owner's use of the Hotel Guest Data is restricted during and after the Term as described in this Agreement.

(f)Subject to Section 5.01, Manager is permitted to use the funds in the Hotel Accounts expressly in accordance with and solely for the purposes and to the extent described in this Agreement (including without limitation 5.04.1 and 5.06.5) or any agreement between Manager, Owner and any lender (including payment to Manager or its Affiliates of all fees, charges and reimbursements described in this Agreement).

(g)Subject to Section 4.02, Manager is permitted to institute, prosecute and settle the legal actions or proceedings described in this Agreement, in its name or in the name of Owner, as described in this Agreement.

(h)Subject to Section 4.06, Manager has the right to determine all Hotel Personnel policies, including transferring Hotel Personnel of the Hotel to other properties owned, operated or licensed by Manager from time to time.

(i)Subject to Section 4.06.3, Manager has the authority to negotiate and make agreement with any labor unions and enter into or amend or modify in any material respect any collective bargaining agreements with labor unions in connection with the Hotel, as described in this Agreement.

Owner acknowledges and agrees that its consent to the transactions and conduct by Manager described in this Agreement, including those specifically set out above, and its waiver of any Implied Fiduciary Duties otherwise owed by Manager: (i) has been obtained by Manager in good faith; (ii) is made knowingly by Owner based on its adequate informed judgment as a sophisticated party after seeking the advice of competent and informed counsel; and (iii) arises from the Owner's knowledge and understanding of the specific transactions and actions or inactions of operators that are normal, customary, and reasonably expected in the hotel industry generally, and also arises from those specific transactions and action or inactions of Manager that are normal, customary and reasonably expected by Owner under this Agreement (the "Customary Actions").

13.13.4Owner and Manager acknowledge that: (a) during the Term changes in applicable Legal Requirements regarding the law of agency, or other law potentially affecting the rights of parties to a contract like the Agreement, are

Double Tree Resort by Hilton Myrtle Beach Oceanfront - MA

-66-

likely to occur; and (b) such changes may result in the Customary Actions constituting conduct which may be interpreted as a violation of a fiduciary duty owed by Manager to Owner. In such event, at the request of either party then subject to any limitations in applicable Legal Requirements that would prohibit such an action, the parties shall execute an amendment to this Agreement to incorporate such conduct in the specific list of permitted transactions and conduct of Manager set out above, it being the specific intent of the parties that the express terms of this Agreement shall govern and control the rights, duties and obligations of the parties throughout the Term. Further, nothing in this Agreement is deemed to constitute a waiver or the right of either party to object to a future change in applicable Legal Requirements as an ex post facto law.

13.14Confidentiality. Except as provided below, all matters disclosed in the negotiation of this Agreement and the matters set forth in this Agreement are strictly confidential. Owner and Manager shall otherwise keep strictly confidential all information of a proprietary or confidential nature about or belonging to the other party or to any Affiliate of the other party to which the receiving party gains or has access by virtue of the relationship between Owner and Manager established pursuant to this Agreement. Except as disclosure may be required to obtain the advice of professionals or consultants, or financing for the Hotel from an Permitted Lender, or in furtherance of a permitted or proposed assignment of this Agreement, or as may be required by law or by the order of any government, regulatory authority or tribunal or otherwise to comply with Legal Requirements (including reporting requirements applicable to public companies), Owner and Manager shall make every effort to ensure that such information is not disclosed to the press or to any other third person without the prior consent of the party which provided the confidential information. The obligations set forth in this Section 13.14 shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement. Owner and Manager shall cooperate with one another on all public statements, whether written or oral and no matter how disseminated, regarding their contractual relationship as set forth in this Agreement or the performance of their respective obligations under this Agreement.

13.15Further Assurances. Owner and Manager shall do and cause to be done all acts, and execute and deliver all documents and instruments, reasonably necessary for each of them to perform their respective obligations under, and to give effect to the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement.

13.16Force Majeure. In the event of a Force Majeure Event, the obligations of the Parties and/or the time period for the performance of such obligations (other than the payment of money) shall be adjusted to the extent such Parties are prevented, hindered, or delayed in such performance during the period of such Force Majeure Event. Upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, the affected Party shall give prompt, written notice of such Force Majeure Event to the other Party. If at any time during the Term either Party is unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement due to a Force Majeure Event, or if it becomes necessary, in Manager's and Owner’s commercially reasonable opinion, to cease operation of the Hotel in order to protect the Hotel and/or the health, safety or welfare of the guests and/or employees of the Hotel, then

Double Tree Resort by Hilton Myrtle Beach Oceanfront - MA

-67-

Manager may close and cease or partially cease operation of all or any part of the Hotel as necessary based on the occurrence of the Force Majeure Event, reopening and recommencing operation of the Hotel when Manager and Owner reasonably determine that the reopening and recommencement of operations may be done pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements and without jeopardy to the Hotel, its guests or Hotel Personnel.

13.17Area Restriction. On or prior to December 30, 2022 (the "Restricted Period"), Manager and its Affiliates shall not, without Owner's consent, open (whether by ownership, lease, operation, management, license or franchise) a Brand Name hotel within the following "Restricted Area":

That area which is within a nine mile radius of the main entrance to the Hotel.

This Restrictive Area is generally illustrated on the map attached to, and incorporated by reference into, this Agreement as EXHIBIT E. The Restrictive Area shall include the shore and/or side of the street currently closest to the Hotel. If there is a conflict between EXHIBIT E and this narrative description, this description will control.

The foregoing restriction shall not apply to any hotel that is, as of the Effective Date, open, under construction or approved for development or opening as a Brand Name hotel (or is a substantially equivalent replacement of such a hotel).

The foregoing restriction shall not apply to any “Hilton” hotel, "Hilton Garden Inn" hotel or to any hotel other than the Brand Name in which "Hilton" is secondary to another brand name (for purposes of identifying such other brand as having a relationship with Hilton Worldwide, Inc.). By way of example, a "Homewood Suites by Hilton" hotel would be a hotel in which "Hilton" is secondary to another brand name.

The foregoing restriction shall not apply to shared ownership properties commonly known as vacation ownership or timeshare ownership (or similar real estate projects).

The foregoing restriction shall not prohibit Manager or its Affiliates from entering into agreements to construct, own, lease, operate, manage, license or franchise a Brand Name hotel within the Restricted Area as long as such other hotel does not open as a Brand Name hotel during the Restricted Period.

13.18Non-Resort Land and Buildings. As of the date of this Agreement, Owner and Manager acknowledge and understand that Manager shall manage the operations of the entire Hotel, including the Non-Resort Land and Buildings, and the Non-Resort Land and Buildings shall be deemed to be part of the Hotel until the effective date of any termination contemplated in this Section 13.18. Owner may, however, subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth below, at any time upon not less than sixty days prior written notice to Manager (subject in all respects to the requirements set forth in Section 10.06, to the extent applicable), elect to terminate Manager’s management of all or any portion of the Non-Resort Land and Buildings. Effective upon the date of such termination (as set forth in Owner’s notice to Manager, but subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth below and the requirements of Section 10.06 to the extent applicable), this Agreement shall terminate with respect only to the portion of the Non-Resort Land and Buildings designated in Owner’s termination notice, and neither party shall have any further obligation to the other party hereunder with respect to such portion of the Non-Resort Land and Buildings,

Double Tree Resort by Hilton Myrtle Beach Oceanfront - MA

-68-

except for (a) Owner’s obligation to pay to Manager all fees and amounts payable to Manager under this Management Agreement with respect to any portion of the Non-Resort Land and Buildings through the date of such termination, and (b) liabilities accruing, or based upon events occurring, prior to or concurrently with the effective date of such termination with respect to such portion of the Non-Resort Land and Buildings. As a further condition to such termination:

13.18.1the applicable portion of the Non-Resort Land and Buildings shall not be leased to, operated by or sold to a Specially Designated National or Blocked Person;

13.18.2the Owner and Manager shall agree, in good faith, to reasonably amend this Management Agreement to delete all references to the applicable Non-Resort Land and Buildings being terminated by Owner;

13.18.3Owner shall provide for, subject to Manager’s reasonable approval as set forth below, any facilities reasonably necessary to replace any laundry, parking, maintenance, trash, registration, “back of house” or other similar facilities located or operated on or in any of the Non-Resort Land and Buildings as of the Brand Commencement Date (or would have been located or operated on or in any of the Non-Resort Land and Buildings as of the Brand Commencement Date in the event of a termination prior to the Brand Commencement Date) necessary for the operation of the Resort Land and Buildings and Pier Area (as applicable, any facilities being so replaced are referred to as “Replaced Facilities,” and any facilities replacing such Replaced Facilities are referred to as “Replacement Facilities”). Such Replacement Facilities shall be subject to Manager’s reasonable approval, provided that such approval shall not be withheld with respect to any such Replacement Facilities which are substantially similar in quality and utility to the Replaced Facilities as the same exist on the Brand Commencement Date (or would have existed on or in any of the Non-Resort Land and Buildings as of the Brand Commencement Date in the event of a termination prior to the Brand Commencement Date) and allow for the continued operation of the Hotel in an efficient and reasonably uninterrupted manner in accordance with this Agreement (“Complying Replacement Facilities”). For the avoidance of doubt (i) Owner acknowledges that Manager may dispute whether any such Replacement Facilities are substantially similar in quality and utility to the Replaced Facilities as the same exist on the Brand Commencement Date or allow for the continued operation of the Hotel in an efficient and reasonably uninterrupted manner in accordance with this Agreement, (ii) to the extent Manager has deemed as of the Brand Commencement Date the Brand Standards have been satisfied (or Manager has waived the Brand Standards) with respect to any Replaced Facility, the Brand Standards similarly shall be deemed satisfied or waived with respect to any Complying Replacement Facilities to the extent such Complying Replacement Facility is substantially similar in quality and utility as the Replaced Facility as the same exist on the Brand Commencement Date and (iii) such Complying Replacement Facilities shall be operational as of the effective date of the termination relating to the Replaced Facilities as a condition to such termination.

As of the date of this Agreement, Owner and Manager acknowledge and understand that Manager shall manage the operations of the Campground Area, the Campground Area shall be deemed to be part of the Hotel and shall be operated by Manager until delivery of any notice by Owner or Manager pursuant to this Section 13.19, and the Campground Area Revenue will not be included in Total Operating Revenue (but such Campground Area Revenue will be used in calculating the CAR Fee). Owner may, however, at any time upon not less than thirty days and not more than seventy-five days prior written notice to Manager (subject in all respects to Section 10.06 to the extent applicable), elect to terminate Manager’s management of all of the Campground Area. Additionally, Manager may, at any time upon not less than ninety days prior written notice to Owner, elect to terminate Manager’s management of all of the Campground Area. Effective upon the date of such termination (as set forth in Owner’s notice to Manager or Manager’s notice to Owner, as applicable), this Agreement shall terminate with respect only to the Campground Area, and neither party shall have any further obligation to the other party hereunder with respect to such portion of the Campground Area (including the obligation to pay CAR Fees for the period after the date of such termination), except for (a) Owner’s obligation to pay to Manager all amounts payable to Manager under the Management Agreement with respect to the Campground Area through the date of such termination, and (b) liabilities accruing, or based upon events occurring, prior to or concurrently with the effective date of such termination with respect to the Campground Area. In the event of such termination.

13.19.2the Owner and Manager shall agree, in good faith, to reasonably amend this Management Agreement to delete all references to the Campground Area and CAR Fee.

OWNER AGREEMENT

THIS OWNER AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is being entered into as of this ___ day of December, 2014 by and among IC MYRTLE BEACH LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Lessor"), IC MYRTLE BEACH OPERATIONS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Lessee"), and DOUBLETREE MANAGEMENT LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Manager").

RECITALS:

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, Lessor is acquiring (the "Acquisition") certain real property in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina (the "Land") that is the current site of the Springmaid Resort, located at 3200 South Ocean Boulevard (the "Hotel");

WHEREAS, in connection with the Acquisition, Lessor is entering into a lease agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the "Lease"), leasing to Lessee the Land, the Hotel and certain furniture, fixtures and equipment used in connection therewith (the “FF&E”);

WHEREAS, Lessee is entering into a management agreement, dated as of the date hereof, with respect to the Hotel ("Management Agreement") with Manager;

WHEREAS, Lessor, Lessee and Manager desire to set forth certain obligations of the parties with respect to the ownership and operation of the Land, the Hotel and the FF&E and to address certain portions of the Management Agreement that affect the rights and obligations of all three parties.

NOW, THEREFORE, for the mutual covenants and considerations herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto intending to be legally bound agree as follows:

1.     Definitions. Capitalized terms that are not specifically defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Management Agreement.

2.     Landlord Consideration. Lessor hereby acknowledges that it: (i) expects to derive benefits from this Agreement, and (ii) has determined that its execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement directly or indirectly benefit Lessor, are within its organizational purposes of Lessor, and are in its best interest.

3.     Acknowledgement of Lease. The Lease shall not be construed to impose any additional obligations or liabilities upon Manager, and shall not be construed to modify or amend any of the rights and duties of the parties under the Management Agreement. To the extent that any of the provisions of the Management Agreement impose a greater or inconsistent obligation on Lessee than the corresponding provisions of the Lease, Lessee shall be obligated to comply with the relevant provisions of the Management Agreement. Manager shall have no duty, obligation or liability to Lessor or Lessee to (i) make any determination as to whether any expense required to be paid by Manager hereunder is a cost of Lessor or a cost of Lessee or (ii) require that any costs or expenses of Lessor be paid from funds that can be identified as belonging to Lessor, or that other costs and expenses required to be paid by Lessee be paid from funds that can be identified as belonging to Lessee; it being the intent of the parties to this Agreement that (x) Lessee and Lessor shall look only to each other and not to Manager with

Page 1

respect to moneys that may be owed one to the other under the Management Agreement or the Lease and (y) Manager need only look to Lessee to perform "Owner" obligations under the Management Agreement.

4.     Lessor and Lessee Representations and Warranties.

a.    Lessor and Lessee each hereby represents and warrants that Lessor or its affiliates has and will maintain a direct or indirect controlling and majority interest in Lessee.

b.     Lessor represents and warrants that to Lessor's knowledge: (a) neither Lessor (including its directors and officers), nor any of its Affiliates, subsidiaries, respective shareholders, beneficial owners of non-publicly traded shareholders or, to Lessor 's knowledge, the funding sources for any of the foregoing is a Specially Designated National or Blocked Person; (b) neither Lessor nor any of its Affiliates, subsidiaries, respective shareholders, beneficial owners of non-publicly traded shareholders is directly or indirectly owned or controlled by the government of any country that is subject to an embargo or economic or trade sanctions by the United States government; (c) neither Lessor nor any of its Affiliates, subsidiaries, respective shareholders, beneficial owners of non-publicly traded shareholders is acting on behalf of a government of any country that is subject to such an embargo; and (d) neither Lessor nor any of its Affiliates, subsidiaries, respective shareholders, beneficial owners of non-publicly traded shareholders is involved in business arrangements or otherwise engaged in transactions with countries subject to economic or trade sanctions imposed by the United States government. Lessor shall notify Manager in writing immediately upon becoming aware of the occurrence of any event which renders the foregoing representations and warranties of this Section 4b incorrect.

5.     Termination of the Lease. The parties agree that the Management Agreement and the rights and benefits of Manager thereunder shall not be terminated or disturbed in any respect except in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement, and not as a result of any termination or expiration of the Lease. Accordingly, if during the term of the Management Agreement the Lease is terminated for any reason, including, without limitation, expiration of the term thereof or the "rejection" thereof following Bankruptcy (as defined below) of Lessee (collectively, a "Lease Termination"), then, so long as (1) the Management Agreement is then in full force and effect, and (2) Manager attorns to Lessor as “Owner” under the Management Agreement (subject in all respects to Manager’s rights under Section 7.03 of the Management Agreement), Lessor: (a) shall recognize Manager’s rights under the Management Agreement, (b) agrees that Manager shall not be named as a party in any eviction or other possessory action or proceeding, and that Manager shall not be disturbed in its right to manage the Hotel pursuant to the Management Agreement, and (c) shall at the time of or prior to such Lease Termination either (i) elect not to take either of the actions described in clause (c)(ii) below, in which case all of "Owner’s" rights, benefits, privileges and obligations under the Management Agreement with respect to periods after the Lease Termination shall be assumed directly by Lessor, or (ii) cause a successor lessee, consented to by Manager, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to (x) succeed to and assume Lessee’s rights and obligations under the Lease, the Management Agreement, and this Agreement, or (y) enter into a new lease with Lessor in substantially the same form as the Lease, and assume the rights and obligations of the Lessee under the Management Agreement and this Agreement, the intent being that the relationship between any successor Lessee, Lessor and Manager be under the

Page 2

same terms and conditions as the relationship between Lessee, Lessor and Manager hereunder and under the Management Agreement and the Lease.

6.     Guaranty. Lessor hereby guarantees the complete and satisfactory payment and performance of each and every obligation of Lessee as "Owner" under the Management Agreement (the "Guaranteed Obligations"). Lessor hereby absolutely, irrevocably, and unconditionally guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations which are monetary obligations shall be paid when due and payable and that the Guaranteed Obligations which are performance obligations shall be fully performed at the times and in the manner such performance is required by the Management Agreement. This guaranty is an absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guaranty of payment and performance and the liability of Lessor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of: (i) any lack of validity, irregularity or enforceability of the Management Agreement or this Agreement; (ii) any change in the time, manner, place or any other term or condition of payments due under the Management Agreement or this Agreement, or any other amendment or waiver of, or consent to, or any departure from, the Management Agreement or this Agreement; (iii) any failure of Manager to enforce the provisions of the Management Agreement or this Agreement against Lessee; or (iv) any other circumstances that might otherwise constitute a defense available to Lessor with respect to, or a discharge of, any of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than because, or to the extent, the same have been previously discharged in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement). If all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid when due and payable or performed at the time performance is required, Lessor (without first requiring the Manager to proceed against Lessee or any other party or any other security) shall pay or cause to be paid to Manager the amount thereof as is then due and payable and unpaid (including interest and other charges, if any, due thereon through the date of payment in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Management Agreement) or perform or cause to be performed such obligations in accordance with the Management Agreement, within ten (10) business days after receipt of written notice from the Manager of the failure by Lessee to make such payment or render such performance within the period required by the Management Agreement including the passage of any applicable notice and cure periods. If for any reason Lessor fails to perform or cause to be performed such obligations, Manager shall have the right to exercise any and all of the remedies available at law or in equity, and Lessor hereby agrees to pay any and all reasonable expenses (including counsel fees and expenses) incurred by Manager in enforcing its rights under this Agreement. The guaranty contained in this Agreement: (A) is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in full force and effect until the indefeasible satisfaction and discharge in full of Lessee’s obligations as "Owner" under the Management Agreement and Lessor’s and Lessee’s obligations under this Agreement, and (B) shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment under the Management Agreement or this Agreement becomes unrecoverable from Lessee by operation of law or for any other reason or must otherwise be returned by Manager upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Lessor or Lessee. The provisions of this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of the Management Agreement and this Agreement.

7.     Certain Lessor Obligations. Lessor agrees that it shall comply with and be bound by the provisions of the Management Agreement, as it may be amended, in accordance with the terms thereof and hereof, which relate to restrictions on transfer and restrictions on financing, as if Lessor were "Owner" thereunder.

8.     Lease Modifications. Manager agrees that the Lease may be amended or modified from time to time by agreement between Lessor and Lessee, and Lessor may exercise any one or more of its

Page 3

rights under the Lease from time to time at Lessor’s sole discretion (subject, in all events, to the terms and conditions of Section 5 above), all without consent of Manager, and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as to all such renewals, extensions and/or modifications and all such exercise of rights; provided, however, that the prior consent of Manager shall be required for any amendment or modification to the Lease with respect to any provision that, if amended, would be inconsistent with the obligations of the Lessor or Lessee hereunder or under the Management Agreement. Lessor and Lessee agree to deliver copies to Manager of any amendments or modifications of the Lease promptly following the execution and delivery thereof.

9.     Consents Under Management Agreement. Manager will look solely to Lessee to satisfy Owner’s obligations and duties under the Management Agreement, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, Manager shall seek all approvals and/or consents required from "Owner" under the Management Agreement, and elections to be made by "Owner" under the Management Agreement, solely from Lessee, and shall be entitled to rely and act on all approvals and/or consents obtained or received from, or elections made by, Lessee under any provisions or requirements of the Management Agreement, without any obligation to confirm the granting of any approval or consent or the making of such election by Lessor that may be required under the Lease or to obtain the signature of any representative of Lessor, and Manager shall not be required to grant any additional time for Lessor to instruct the Lessee with respect to such matters. Lessor agrees that, in its exercise of rights under the Lease that pertain to Lessee’s exercise of rights under the Management Agreement, Lessor shall exercise such rights under the same conditions and principles that apply to Lessee’s exercise of the same rights under the Management Agreement, and shall, where a dispute is referred for resolution in accordance with the Management Agreement, agree to be bound by such resolution.

10.     Agreements Relating to Tenancy. In order to address the fact that Lessee’s interest in the Hotel is leasehold, and to address certain other related matters, the parties agree to the following modifications of the Management Agreement, to be effective for so long as Lessee’s interest in the Hotel is held through a leasehold:

A.     In connection with a sale, assignment, or transfer of the Hotel, Lessor and Lessee agree that an agreement in form and substance substantially similar to this Agreement (or an assumption of this Agreement) will be required from the transferee lessor and lessee.

B.     Lessor agrees, where applicable, upon request by Manager pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Management Agreement, not to unreasonably withhold, condition or delay the prompt signing, without charge, of applications for licenses, permits or other instruments necessary for operation of the Hotel, which applications shall be prepared by Manager as necessary from time to time.

C.     Lessor covenants that it holds good and marketable fee simple title to the Hotel free and clear of any and all liens, encumbrances or other charges arising by, through or under Lessor, except for those specifically permitted pursuant to the Management Agreement. 11. Certain Provisions Regarding Bankruptcy. In the event the Lease shall be rejected on behalf of Lessor under Section 365 of the United States Bankruptcy Code ("Code") or any other applicable law or authority ("Rejection"), Lessee shall promptly notify Manager in writing of such

11.     Certain Provisions Regarding Bankruptcy. In the event the Lease shall be rejected on behalf of Lessor under Section 365 of the United States Bankruptcy Code ("Code") or any other applicable law or authority ("Rejection"), Lessee shall promptly notify Manager in writing of such

Page 4

Rejection and Lessee shall, as directed by Manager, either treat the Lease as terminated by such Rejection or retain its rights under the Lease as permitted by the Code or other applicable law or authority. In the event the Management Agreement is terminated as a result of Rejection on behalf of Lessee, the Management Agreement shall be assumed by Lessor, and Lessor shall, if directed by Manager (but only to the extent such right may be exercised under the Code or other applicable law and authority), terminate the Lease, subject to the provisions of Section 5 hereof. Lessor and Lessee each agree that it will not join in any involuntary petition against the other under the Code or any other similar federal or state law providing for debtor relief, without the consent of Manager.

12.     Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the date set forth above and shall run concurrently with the term of the Management Agreement, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein.

13.     Deleted.

14.     Notices. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing, and shall be sent or delivered by the methods and to the addresses for Lessee and Manager as required under the Management Agreement.

15.     REIT Compliance. Manager has been advised that Lessor is indirectly owned by KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT II, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“REIT Parent”), a REIT, and that Lessee is indirectly owned by a “taxable REIT subsidiary” within the meaning of Section 856(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, together with all regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Code”). Manager agrees that the provisions of this Section 15 shall apply for so long as the Hotel is owned by Lessor and leased to Lessee as part of any ownership structure that is subject to REIT tax requirements.

A.     Lessor has advised Manager that in order for REIT Parent to qualify as a REIT, and Lessee’s ownership structure to qualify as a taxable REIT subsidiary, Manager must be an "eligible independent contractor" with respect to REIT Parent and the Hotel must constitute a “qualified lodging facility,” as each such term is defined in Section 856(d)(9) of the Code. For purposes of this Section 15.A, if the Manager is currently disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for federal income tax purposes, any reference to “Manager” shall include the

Page 5

Manager’s owner for federal income tax purposes. To that end, Manager and Lessor hereby agree as follows:

(i)Manager shall not permit wagering activities to be conducted at or in connection with the 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 the Hotel throughout the term of the Management Agreement. Lessor, Lessee and Manager agree that Manager shall not be deemed in breach of this Section 15.A(i) if Manager used commercially reasonable efforts to comply with this Section 15.A(i) and, notwithstanding such efforts, was not aware of such wagering activities taking place at the Hotel, or if Manager was aware of such wagering activities at the Hotel, Manager used reasonable efforts to cause such activities to cease at the Hotel;

(ii)As of the date of this Agreement, Manager represents to Lessor that it is actively engaged in the trade or business of operating “qualified lodging facilities” (defined below) for a person who is not a Related Person (defined below) with respect to (a) REIT Parent, (b) Lessor or (c) any direct or indirect subsidiary of the foregoing (“Unrelated Persons”).

(A)     “qualified lodging facility” 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.

(B)     “lodging facility” means 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 Lessor.

(C)     “Related Person” shall have the same meaning as provided in Section 856(d)(9)(F) of the Code.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Manager shall not be required to agree to actions which impair its rights or increase its obligations under the Management Agreement or this Agreement, shall have no independent obligation to be or remain familiar with requirements arising from REIT Parent’s status as a REIT and shall be entitled to reimbursement by Lessor or Lessee of all reasonable costs incurred by Manager in connection with, or as a result of, cooperation pursuant to this Section 15.A; provided, however that (i) Manager agrees to cooperate with Lessor and Lessee in the event either Lessor or Lessee requests confirmation of Manager’s operations for purposes of determining whether Manager’s operations jeopardize REIT Parent’s status as a REIT and (ii) in the event Manager’s operations jeopardize REIT Parent’s status as a REIT, Manager shall take reasonable efforts to adjust its operations solely to the extent necessary for REIT Parent to comply with REIT requirements.

Page 6

B.     Manager agrees that Manager shall not enter into any assignment, lease, sublease or license (including, but not limited to, with Manager or an affiliate of Manager) with respect to the Hotel (or any part thereof), but expressly excluding the rental of Hotel rooms and meeting or banquet space in the ordinary course of business of the Hotel, without first providing Lessor with a copy thereof. Lessor shall have twenty (20) days from the date of its receipt of such proposed assignment, lease, sublease or license to give written notice to Manager indicating whether such assignment, lease, sublease or license could, in Lessor's reasonable judgment, cause Lessor to receive or accrue any amount that would fail to qualify as "rents from real property" within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code, or any similar or successor provisions thereto. If Lessor provides timely notice of its determination that such proposed assignment, lease, sublease or license could cause Lessor to receive such an amount, then Manager will not enter into such proposed assignment, lease, sublease or license. If Lessor shall fail to give Manager such written notice within such twenty (20) day period, Lessor shall be estopped from claiming that such assignment, lease, sublease or license violates the terms of this Section 15.B..

16.     Miscellaneous.

A.     Modification of this Agreement. No amendment, modification, alteration or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement of such amendment is sought, and no waiver of any provision of this Agreement by any party hereto, and no consent to any departure therefrom by any party hereto, shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement of such waiver or consent is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
