* Hotel sold during 2000. The Percentage Leases The Partnership leases the Current Hotels for remaining terms of 8 to 13 years pursuant to Percentage Leases, which provide for rent equal to the greater of Base Rent or Percentage Rent. The Percentage Leases for the Current Hotels contain the provisions described below. The Company intends that future leases with respect to its hotel property investments will contain substantially similar provisions, although the Company may, in its discretion, alter any of these provisions with respect to any particular lease, depending on the purchase price paid, economic conditions and other factors deemed relevant at the time. Percentage Lease Terms Each Percentage Lease for the Current Hotels has a non-cancelable remaining term of 8 to 13 years, subject to earlier termination upon the occurrence of certain contingencies described in the Percentage Lease. Amounts Payable under the Percentage Leases During the term of each Percentage Lease, the lessees are or will be obligated to pay (i) the greater of Base Rent or Percentage Rent and (ii) certain other additional charges. Base Rent accrues and is required to be paid monthly. Percentage Rent consists of minimum percentage rent and excess percentage rent, if any. Minimum percentage rent is calculated based primarily on the amount of room revenue up to a predetermined threshold per the lease. The percentage, which differs by hotel, is multiplied by this amount to calculate minimum percentage rent. These percentages range from 23% to 81%. Excess percentage rent is calculated based primarily on the amount of any room revenue in excess of the predetermined threshold mentioned above. The percentage, which differs by hotel, is multiplied by this amount to calculate excess percentage rent. These percentages range from 5% to 80%. For most leases, the percentage used to calculate excess percentage rent exceeds the percentage used to calculate the minimum percentage rent. Percentage Rent is due either monthly or quarterly. Beginning in the fiscal year following the year in which most Percentage Leases commence, and for each fiscal year thereafter, (i) the annual Base Rent and (ii) the Percentage Rent formulas will be adjusted on a quarterly or annual basis for inflation, based on changes in the CPI. The adjustment in any quarter may not exceed 2%, which may be less than the change in CPI for the quarter. Other than real estate and personal property taxes, casualty insurance, capital improvements and maintenance of underground utilities and structural elements, which are obligations of the Company, the Percentage Leases require the lessees to pay rent, insurance, all costs and expenses and all utility and other charges incurred in the operation of the Current Hotels. The Percentage Leases also provide for rent reductions and abatements in the event of damage to, destruction of or a partial taking of any Current Hotel. Maintenance and Modifications Under the Percentage Leases, the Company is required to maintain the underground utilities and the structural elements of the improvements, including exterior walls (excluding plate glass) and the roof of such Current Hotel. In addition, the Percentage Leases obligate the Company to fund periodic capital improvements (in addition to maintenance of underground utilities and structural elements) to the buildings and grounds comprising their respective Current Hotels, and the periodic repair, replacement and refurbishment of furniture, fixtures and equipment in their respective Current Hotels, up to an amount equal to 5% of room revenues (7% of room revenues and food and beverage revenue for one of its full-service hotels). These obligations will be carried forward to the extent that the lessees have not expended such amounts, and any unexpended amounts will remain the property of the Company upon termination of the Percentage Leases. Except for capital improvements and maintenance of structural elements and underground utilities, the lessees are required, at their expense, to maintain the Current Hotels in good order and repair, except for ordinary wear and tear, and to make non-structural, foreseen and unforeseen, and ordinary and extraordinary repairs which may be necessary and appropriate to keep the Current Hotels in good order and repair. The lessees are not obligated to bear the cost of capital improvements to the Current Hotels. With the consent of the Company, however, the lessees, at their expense, may make non-capital and capital additions, modifications or improvements to the Current Hotels, provided that such action does not significantly alter the character or purposes of the Current Hotels or significantly detract from the value or operating efficiencies of the Current Hotels. All such alterations, replacements and improvements shall be subject to all the terms and provisions of the Percentage Leases and will become the property of the Company upon termination of the Percentage Leases. The Company owns or will own substantially all personal property not affixed to, or deemed a part of, the real estate or improvements thereon comprising the Current Hotels, except to the extent that ownership of such personal property would cause the rents under the Percentage Leases not to qualify as "rents from real property" for REIT income test purposes.
