ANNUAL BUDGET |
| 5.1 |
At least ninety (90) days prior to the anticipated Opening Date and not later than November 1 of each Fiscal Year thereafter, Manager must submit to Owner, for Owner’s
review and approval, the Draft Annual Budget for the Hotel.
|
| 5.2 |
Owner shall respond to Manager, in writing, with any specific comments on or objections to the Draft Annual Budget within forty (40) days from receipt of the Draft
Annual Budget from Manager. Owner may not reject the Draft Annual Budget in its entirety or any Draft Annual Budget item which represents an expenditure necessary to maintain or operate the Hotel in accordance with the Standards.
|
| 5.3 |
If Owner fails to respond or does not object to any portion of the Draft Annual Budget within forty (40) days following receipt of the Draft Annual Budget, Owner shall
be deemed to have approved the Draft Annual Budget as submitted and the Draft Annual Budget shall be deemed to be the Annual Budget for the following Fiscal Year.
|
| (a) |
If Owner objects to any portion of the Draft Annual Budget and Owner and Manager fail to agree with respect to the items to which Owner objects before January 30 of the
applicable Fiscal Year, either Party may seek Expert Determination of the Draft Annual Budget.
|
| (b) |
In reviewing the Draft Annual Budget, the Expert:
|
| (i) |
shall have regard to the:
|
| (A) |
terms of this Agreement; and
|
| (B) |
requirement to operate the Hotel in accordance with the Standards.
|
| (ii) |
may not make a determination:
|
| (A) |
that any particular aspect of the Standards is unreasonable or ought to be implemented in later Fiscal Years; or
|
| (B) |
on the pricing policies applied at the Hotel.
|
| (a) |
If the Draft Annual Budget for the first Fiscal Year following the Opening Date is not approved (or determined) by the first day of the first Fiscal Year following the
Opening Date, the Draft Annual Budget submitted by Manager shall apply provided, however, that if Manager expends any amount later determined by the Expert to be excluded from the Annual Budget, Manager shall immediately stop making any
payments with respect to such item determined by the Expert to be excluded from the Annual Budget.
|
| (b) |
For each Fiscal Year after the first Fiscal Year following the Opening Date, if the Draft Annual Budget for a Fiscal Year is not approved (or determined) by the first
day of the applicable Fiscal Year, the Annual Budget for the previous Fiscal Year shall apply, subject to CPI Adjustment.
|
| (c) |
If any portion of the Draft Annual Budget for a Fiscal Year is not approved (or determined) by the first day of the applicable Fiscal Year, that part of the Annual
Budget relating to the:
|
| (i) |
undisputed items shall apply; and
|
| (ii) |
disputed items for the previous Fiscal Year (and, in the case of the first Fiscal Year, the disputed items from the Draft Annual Budget submitted by Manager) shall
apply subject to CPI Adjustment,
|
| 5.6 |
Once the Draft Annual Budget is approved (or determined), the Draft Annual Budget shall become the Annual Budget.
|
| 5.7 |
Lack of approval of an Annual Budget shall not entitle either Party to terminate this Agreement.
|
| 5.8 |
Manager is permitted, without the approval of Owner, to deviate from the Annual Budget and incur additional Operating Expenses:
|
| (a) |
consequent upon an increase in Total Operating Revenue (on a monthly basis) above that estimated in the Annual Budget (on a monthly basis) or an increase in occupancy
above that estimated (on a monthly basis) as part of the preparations of the Annual Budget;
|
| (b) |
for a particular line item where there is a compensating reduction in another line item;
|
| (c) |
consequent upon increased regulatory or compliance costs as a result of increased requirements imposed by any Legal Requirements (or change in implementation or
enforcement of any Legal Requirements);
|
| (d) |
to reasonably manage an Emergency Situation affecting the Hotel;
|
| (e) |
to deal with a Force Majeure Event affecting the Hotel; or
|
| (f) |
relating to payment of Agreed Expenses.
|
| (a) |
If, by reason of any of such events or changes described in clauses 5.8(c), (d), or (e), Manager determines that, in its reasonable judgment, expenditures materially
different from or additional to those provided for in the Annual Budget are required, or that Total Operating Revenue and Operating Expenses materially different from the Approved Budget will result in an adverse change to projected Gross
Operating Profit for the applicable Fiscal Year of five percent (5%) or more of the projected Gross Operating Profit, then Manager shall prepare and submit to Owner for its review and approval an amendment of the Annual Budget which, for
purposes of clause 5.1, shall be deemed to be a Draft Annual Budget and shall be subject to Owner’s approval in accordance with clause 5.1.
|
| (b) |
In the event that Owner reasonably objects to any portion of the proposed amendment of the Annual Budget and Owner and Manager fail to agree with respect to such item
within forty (40) days of Owner’s initial receipt of the proposed amendment, then at the written request of Owner, given on or before the end of such forty (40) day period, the dispute shall be resolved by Expert Determination in
accordance with the provisions of clause 5.4. The Annual Budget, as amended and approved, shall be the Annual Budget for the remainder of the Fiscal Year to which the Annual Budget, as so amended, relates.

any forecasts and projections as to future profits of the Hotel, no matter how carefully prepared, cannot take into account all contingencies which may affect such future profits; and
|
| (b) |
in entering into this Agreement Owner has not relied on any such forecasts or projections prepared by Manager, its Affiliates or consultants and that Manager and its Affiliates have made no
representation or warranty regarding the future financial success of the Hotel.
|
| 5.11 |
Failure of the Hotel to achieve the projections in the Annual Budget shall not be the basis for any claim that Manager is in Default under this Agreement or has made
any misrepresentation to Owner but shall not limit in any event Owner’s right to terminate this Agreement for failure by Manager to meet the Performance Test set forth in clause 28. Owner acknowledges and agrees that save as expressly
provided for by this Agreement:

| (a) |
subject to its indemnity obligations under clause 25.1, all debts, expenses, obligations, risks and liabilities of the Hotel shall be borne exclusively by Owner; and

under the trade name of the Hotel or Manager (or any variation thereof)).

absolute discretion). If Manager does grant its approval, (i) Owner shall sign such documents as Manager requires to ensure that ownership vests in Manager, and (ii) upon termination of this Agreement for any reason Owner shall
immediately discontinue such permitted use of the Brand in accordance with clause 29.

any of its Affiliates exercises its right to make a Shortfall Payment under this clause 28.8(b)(iii), then there shall not be deemed to be a GOP Failure for any of the Fiscal Years for which Manager or its Affiliates has made such payment
(for the purposes of the applicable and any other Termination Test Period including such Fiscal Years).

The Parties shall agree on the initial Competitive Set on or before the Opening Date. If the Parties are unable to agree, either Party may refer the dispute to Expert
Resolution in accordance with the standards outlined in the initial sentence of the “Competitive Set” definition.
|
| (d) |
If Owner or Manager thereafter seeks a change in the Competitive Set based on: (i) the commencement of operations of one or more new hotels in the Hotel’s market area,
which hotels have been reporting results for at least 12 (twelve) months; or (ii) any cessation of operations or significant change in operations (such as a change in manager or a change in market positioning) of any of the hotels in the
Competitive Set, the Party requesting such change shall notify the other in writing of such request during the Annual Budget process. If the REVPAR of any of the hotels in the Competitive Set is not reasonably available to both Parties
with respect any Fiscal Year for reasons beyond the Parties’ control, such hotel shall not be taken into consideration for the determination of the REVPAR Index for such Fiscal Year and such hotel shall be replaced in the Competitive Set
by an alternative hotel, to be agreed by the Parties, which shall be comparable to the Hotel taking into consideration the characteristics set forth in the definition of Competitive Set. The Parties acknowledge that a change to the
Competitive Set may require a corresponding change to the REVPAR Index. In the event that the Parties have not reached agreement on such change within 30 days after the notice of such request has been given, such dispute shall be referred
to Expert Determination in accordance with the standards outlined in the initial sentence of the “Competitive Set” definition.
|
| (e) |
If the Annual Budget for such Fiscal Year (or any proposed amendments or modifications) shall not have been approved by Owner and Manager in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement by the end of such Fiscal Year or settled by arbitration in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement by the end of such Fiscal Year, Owner shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant
to the provisions of this clause 28.8 with respect to such Termination Test Period until Owner and Manager have approved such applicable Annual Budget (or proposed amendments or modifications) or until the arbitration in respect of such
applicable Annual Budget has been settled in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
|
| (f) |
Under no circumstances shall any termination right pursuant to this clause 28.8, or any election of Manager not to make a Shortfall Payment, constitute a breach or
Default of Manager under this Agreement. The sole and exclusive remedy of Owner upon the occurrence of a GOP Failure and a REVPAR Failure shall be as expressly provided for in this clause 28.8.
|
| (g) |
Manager will not be required to vacate the Hotel until it has received payment of all amounts required to be paid by Owner to Manager and its Affiliates under this
Agreement including any unamortized Access Fee Contribution pursuant to special term 36.4 of Schedule 5 and Manager shall be entitled to continue to operate the Hotel in accordance with the terms of this Agreement until such time as Owner
has paid to Manager all amounts necessary to pay to Manager in order for Manager to vacate the Hotel.
|
| (h) |
If a dispute under this clause is referred for Expert Determination, the time periods in this clause shall be extended to the period which is 30 days following receipt
of the Expert’s determination. If the Expert rules in favor of Manager, then the Performance Notice shall be deemed to have no further force or effect. In the event that the Expert rules in favor of Owner, this shall not preclude Manager
from subsequently exercising its rights under clause 28.8(b)(iii), and to pay such amount within the additional thirty (30) day period following receipt of the Expert’s determination.
