aforesaid accounts are Hotel Owner's funds intended for the specific purpose contemplated
herein, it is expressly covenanted that Hotel Owner shall have no other right to use of such
funds than to receive the amounts to which it is entitled under this Agreement, all of which

financing arrangement, nor is or shall be participating in said private or public investment
offering, nor shall Hotel Owner in any way make use of the name "LOEWS" or the name of
Operator or any of its Affiliates in connection with any such proposed financing arrangement
or to any such lender or participant in a private or public investment offering, other than to
state that, subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Hotel will bear the name
II LOEWSII , will be counseled as regards its management and operation by Operator and will
be a part of the "LOEWS" chain of hotels.
Section 20.2 Prior Approval of Financin2 Documents. In order to ensure Hotel
Owner's full and faithful compliance with the foregoing paragraph and to prevent any
misunderstanding on the part of any proposed lender or participant in any such private or
public investment offering, Operator and Hotel Owner agree as follows:
(a) Prior to the closing of any such financing arrangement, Hotel Owner shall
inform and furnish Operator with the identity of the proposed lender and copies of the
proposed closing documents, and Operator shall have the right to notify such proposed lender

investment offering, Hotel Owner shall furnish Operator with a copy of said prospectus, and

other cause, Hotel Owner will, at its own cost or expense and with due diligence, repair,
rebuild or replace the same so that after such repairing, rebuilding or replacing the Hotel shall
be substantially the same as prior to such damage or destruction. If Hotel Owner fails to
undertake such work within ninety (90) days after the fIre or other casualty, or shall fail to

notice to Hotel Owner, effective as of the date sent. Operator shall further have the right to
require that any proceeds from insurance be applied to such repairing, rebuilding or replacing.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Hotel is damaged or destroyed to such an extent that the
cost of repairs or restoration as reasonably estimated by Operator exceeds one-third of the
original cost of the Hotel, then Operator may terminate this Agreement by written notice to
Hotel Owner, or Hotel Owner may, if it determines not to repair, rebuild or replace the Hotel,
as aforesaid, terminate this Agreement by such notice to Operator. If, within five (5) years
after any such termination and during the initial Term, Hotel Owner commences the repair,
rebuilding or replacement of the Hotel, Operator may within the later of sixty (60) days
following the commencement of such repairing, rebuilding or replacement or of written notice
from Hotel Owner of its intention to repair, rebuild or replace the Hotel, reinstate this

condemned in any eminent domain, condemnation, compulsory acquisition or like proceeding
or agreement in lieu thereof by any competent authority or if such a portion thereof shall be so
taken or condemned as to make it imprudent or unreasonable, in the reasonable opinion of
Operator, to use the remaining portion as a hotel of the type and class immediately preceding
such taking or condemnation, then, except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall
terminate as of the date of such taking or condemnation but any award in favor of Hotel owner
for such or condemnation shall be fairly and equitably apportioned between Hotel Owner and
Operator with priority to recoupment by Hotel Owner of its investment in the Hotel, the
amount to be received by Operator being calculated on the basis of the loss suffered by it as a
result of the termination of this Agreement. It is understood that until Hotel Owner
- 29-
MI962600.003/09120/96
recuperates the balance of its investment, the entire award will belong to Hotel Owner. If,
within five (5) years after any such termination and during the initial Term, Hotel Owner
operates or contracts for the operation of a hotel on the Premises, Operator may, within the
later of sixty (60) days following commencement of such contract or operation or of written
notice, in reasonable detail, from Hotel Owner of its intention to so operate or contract
therefor, reinstate this Agreement by written notice to Hotel Owner. Hotel Owner shall give
to Operator at least fifteen (15) days' prior written notice of any such contract or
commencement of operation.
Section 21.3 Partial Condemnation. If only a part of the Hotel shall be taken or
condemned as aforesaid and the taking or condemnation of such part does not make it
unreasonable or imprudent, in the reasonable opinion of Operator, to operate the remainder as
a hotel of the type and class immediately preceding such taking or condemnation, this
Agreement shall not terminate, and so much of any award to Hotel Owner shall be made
available as shall be reasonably necessary for making alterations or modifications of the Hotel,
or any part thereof, so as to make it a satisfactory architectural unit as a hotel of similar type
and class as prior to the taking or condemnation. The balance of the award, after deduction of
the sum necessary for such alterations or modifications, shall be fairly and equitably
apportioned between Hotel Owner and Operator so as to compensate Operator for any loss of
income resulting from the taking or condemnation. It is understood that until Hotel Owner
recuperates the balance of its investment, the entire award will belong to Hotel Owner.
Section 21.4 Provisions Subordinate. The provisions of this Article 21 shall,
however, be at all times subject and subordinate to provisions of the Ground Lease and the
Loan Documents, provided that no such provision shall be deemed, directly or indirectly, to

the prior consent of Hotel Owner, a Convention Hotel within the area described on Exhibit B
hereto (the "Territory").
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in subsection (a) above, if
