(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Covenant Agreement, if Owner is in Default, then upon Owner's receipt of a Default Notice from City, all Transient Occupancy Taxes paid to City for the period of time commencing upon the date that Owner receives the Default Notice from City and continuing through and until the date that Owner cures such Default (each, a "Default Period"), shall be excluded from the amounts included in the Estimated NOI Notice as "TOT paid to City" and "Amount available for rebate" pursuant to Subsections 4.1.2(a)(v) and (vi) above, and shall not be considered for purposes of calculating the amount of a Payment Period. For example, if Owner pays to City Transient Occupancy Taxes in the amount of $300,000 for a particular Payment Period, but $50,000 of such Transient Occupancy Taxes were generated during a Default Period, the amount included in the Estimated NOI Notice for such Payment Period as "TOT paid to City" shall be $250,000, and the amount included in the Estimated NOI Notice for such Payment Period as "Amount available for rebate" (during the first ten years of the Operating Period) shall be $237,500. 4.1.3 Determination of Net Operating Income. Within thirty (30) days following City's receipt of an Estimated NOI Notice, City shall have the right to review the books and records of the Hotel to determine the accuracy of the Estimated NOI Notice and to either accept or reject Owner's determination of the estimated and/or actual (as applicable) Net Operating Income in such Estimated NOI Notice; provided, however, if City rejects any of such determinations, then it shall provide Owner with a reasonably detailed explanation for its rejection (a "City's NOI Rejection Notice"). If the Parties are not able to reach agreement on the amount of the estimated and/or actual (as applicable) Net Operating Income in dispute within thirty (30) days following Owner's receipt of a City's NOI Rejection Notice, then the Parties shall jointly engage a certified public accountant (the "Auditor") to review Owner's books and records and determine the amount of the estimated and/or actual (as applicable) Net Operating Income in dispute. If the Parties cannot agree upon a choice of the Auditor within forty-five (45) days following Owner's receipt of City's NOI Rejection Notice, then (i) each Party shall engage, at its sole cost, an auditor, provided each such Auditor must be a certified public accountant with a nationally recognized firm and with at least ten (10) years of experience auditing hotel operators. If said auditors' determinations of the estimated and/or actual (as applicable) Net Operating Income in dispute differ by less than ten percent (10%), then the final determination of estimated and/or actual (as applicable) Net Operating Income in dispute shall be the average of the two amounts determined by said two auditors. If said auditors' determinations of the estimated and/or actual (as applicable) Net Operating Income in dispute differ by ten percent (10%) or more, then the Parties shall instruct said 698/015610-0065 10896492.2 a05/04/17 -13- DOC #2017-0463952 Page 14 of 31 auditors to engage a third ,auditor with the qualifications described above and the final determination of the estimated and/or actual (as applicable) Net Operating, Income in dispute shall be the average of the two auditors' determinations that are closest in value. The fees of such third auditor, if required, shall be paid by the Parties in equal fifty percent (50%) shares. 4.2 Source of Payments. The Covenant Payments shall be payable from any source of funds legally available to City. In this regard, it is understood and agreed that the Transient Occupancy Tax is being used merely as a measure of the amount of the Covenant Payments that are periodically owing by City to Owner, and that City is not pledging any portion of the actual Transient Occupancy Tax generated from the Site to Owner. 4.3 Books and Records. Upon the written request of either Party, the other Party shall make available for inspection (at City Hall in the event of a review of City records and at Owner's place of business in ,La Quinta in the event of a review of Owner's records) such of its books and records as the requesting Party may reasonably determine must be reviewed in order to determine whether the correct amount of Covenant Payments have been made or are being made hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, City shall not be required to produce any books or records that it is prohibited from producing by law and Owner shall not be required to produce information that violates the statutorily prescribed privacy rights of individual customers. 4.4 No Acceleration. It is acknowledged by the, Parties that any payments by City provided for in this Covenant Agreement are in consideration for the performance by Owner during the time period(s) for which payments are due. Therefore, City's failure to timely make any payments or City's failure to perform any of its other obligations hereunder shall not cause the acceleration of any anticipated future Covenant Payments by City to Owner. 5. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. 5.1 Defaults. Subject to Section 8.7 of this Covenant Agreement, the occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a "Default": (a) the failure by either Party to perform any obligation of such Party for the payment of money under this Covenant Agreement if such failure is not cured within ten (10) calendar days following receipt of written notice of default; or (b) the failure by either Party to perform any of its obligations (other than obligations described in clause (a) of this Section 5.1) set forth in this Covenant Agreement, if such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days following receipt of written notice of default, or, if such failure is of a nature that cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days and the non-performing Party provides written notification to the `other Party thereof, the failure by the non-performing Party to commence such cure within such thirty (30) days and thereafter diligently prosecute such cure to completion; or 698/015610-0065 10896492.2 a05/04/17 -14- DOC #2017-0463952 Page 15 of 31 (c) any representation or warranty by a Party set forth in this Covenant Agreement proves to have been incorrect in any material respect when made; or (d) Owner closes the Hotel, except for a Permitted Closure; or (e) Owner defaults under the Hotel Management Agreement or. the PSDA and has not cured the default within the applicable cure period (if any); or (f) the Hotel is materially damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty during the Operating Period and Owner fails to commence restoration of the improvements within a reasonable time or thereafter fails to diligently proceed to complete such restoration in accordance with this Covenant Agreement; or (g) Owner concludes a "Transfer" (as defined below) without the prior written approval of City, except for a "Permitted Transfer" (as defined below); or (h) Owner, or any constituent member of Owner (1) is the subject of an order for relief for a bankruptcy court, or is unable or admits its inability to pay its debts as they mature, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (2) applies for or consents to the appointment of any receiver, trustee, custodian, conservator, liquidator, rehabilitator or similar officer for it or any part of its property; pr (3) institutes or consents to any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, .dissolution, custodianship,conservatorship, liquidation, rehabilitation or similar proceeding relating to it or any part of its property, or any similar proceeding is instituted without the consent of Owner and continues undismissed or unstayed for ninety (90) days; or (i) any receiver, trustee, custodian, conservator, liquidator, rehabilitator or similar 'officer is appointed without the application or consent of Owner, and the appointment continues undischarged or unstayed for ninety (90) days; or any judgment, writ, warrant of attachment or execution, or similar process is issued or levied against the Site and is not released, vacated, or fully bonded within ninety (90) days after its issue or levy; or (j) Owner is enjoined or otherwise prohibited by any governmental agency from occupying the Site at any time during the Operating Period and such injunction or prohibition continues unstayed for ninety (90) days or more for any reason. 5.2 City's Remedies Upon Default by Owner. Upon the occurrence of any Default by Owner, and after Owner's receipt of a Default Notice, City may, at its option: (a) Deduct the amount of Transient Occupancy Tax generated during any Default Period from the "TOT paid to City" and the "Amount available for rebate" for purposes of determining the amount of any Covenant Payment. Notwithstanding anything in this Covenant Agreement to the contrary, any Transient Occupancy Tax generated during a Default Period shall never be considered in determining the amount of a Covenant Payment, regardless of whether Owner subsequently cures the Default. 698/015610-0065 10896492.2 a05104/17 -15- DOC #2017-0463952 Page 16 of 31 (b) if the Default continues uninterrupted for a period of six (6) months following Owner's receipt of written notice thereof, City may terminate this Covenant. Agreement, in which case City's obligation to make payments to Owner for any period of time after the occurrence of the Default shall be finally terminated and discharged. 5.3 Owner's Remedies Upon Default by City. Upon the occurrence of any Default by City, Owner may terminate this Covenant Agreement by written notice to City and/or seek whatever legal or equitable remedies may be available to Owner, subject to the provisions of this Section 5.3, Section 4.4 (No Acceleration) and Section 8.4 (Legal Actions). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Owner be entitled to recover damages of any kind from City, except for damages up to, but not exceeding, the amount that Owner would have received under this Covenant Agreement but for City's default of its covenants under this Covenant Agreement, but excluding damages for economic loss, lost profits, or any other economic or consequential damages of any kind. 5.4 Cumulative Remedies; No Waiver. Except as expressly provided herein, the nondefaulting Party's rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative and in addition to all rights and remedies provided by law from time to time and .the exercise by the nondefaulting Party of any right or remedy shall not prejudice such Party in the exercise of any other right or remedy. None of the provisions of this Covenant Agreement shall be considered waived by either Party except when such waiver is delivered in writing. No waiver of any Default shall be implied from any omission by City to take action on account of such Default if such Default persists or is repeated. No waiver of any Default shall affect any Default other than the Default expressly waived, and any such waiver shall be operative only for the time and to the extent stated. No waiver of any provision of this Covenant Agreement shall be`construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same provision. A Party's consent to or approval of any act by the other Party requiring further consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary the consenting Party's consent to or approval of any subsequent act. A Party's acceptance of the late performance of any obligation shall not constitute a waiver by such Party of the right to require prompt performance of all further obligations. A Party's acceptance of any performance following the sending or filing of any notice of Default shall not constitute a waiver of that Party's right to proceed with the exercise of its remedies for any unfulfilled obligations. A Party's acceptance of any partial performance shall not constitute a waiver by that Party of any rights relating to the unfulfilled portion of the applicable obligation. 5.5 Limitations on City's Liability.

ASSIGNMENT AND TRANSFER. 6.1 Transfers of Interest in Site or Covenant Agreement.
