PASSED and APPROVED this 4 n day of December, 2018. APPROVED: ATTEST: By: By: LIONELD JORDAN, Mayor SONDRA E. SMITH, City Clerk/Treasurer OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY THRU: FROM: DATE: RE: DEPARTMENTAL CORRESPONDENCE Mayor Jordan City Council y Kit Williams City Attorney � Blake Pennington, Assistant City Attornjey;J4� November 30, 2018 Kit Williams City Attorney Blake Pennington Assistant City Attorney Rhonda Lynch Paralegal Sale of Chancellor Hotel - Assignment of Parking Lease An attorney for the owner of the Chancellor contacted the City this week to advise that the hotel is being sold to a company called GFAR Owner, LLC. In connection with that sale, they are asking the Mayor to sign three documents, copies of which are attached to this memo. As you know, the City leases 176 parking spaces in the Meadow Street Parking Deck to the hotel for guest parking. The first document is an assignment of that lease agreement to the new owner. The second document is called a Parking Lease Estoppel, which essentially confirms the terms of the parking lease. The third document is called a Declaration Estoppel and is intended to confirm the terms of a Declaration Creating Easements, Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions that was signed by Mayor Fred Hanna in 1996. That Declaration created easements in favor of what was then the Hilton operated by Fayetteville Hotel Ventures Limited Partnership. The easement Page Two - Sale of Chancellor Hotel - Assignment of Parking Lease was necessary because the hotel had been built with some balconies extending into the public right of way along East Avenue. Our parking lease with Southwind Hospitality allows it to assign the parking lease in connection with a sale of the hotel as long as the new owner agrees to continue operating the hotel as a hotel. The new owner explicitly agrees to that condition in the Assignment; therefore, the City should approve the assignment and both estoppel documents. The matter is urgent because the closing is scheduled for December 12th. The normal agenda process would have put this item on the December 181h agenda and the current hotel owner has asked if we will help them keep their closing date by pushing this through at the December 4 meeting. Please see the attached email from Michael Maloff, Deputy General Counsel for the Schulte Companies, owner of Southwind Hospitality.

Below is a brief explanation of the documents and the urgency. Let me know if any additional information would be helpful to assist in the City Council's review. An affiliate of Schulte Companies, Southwind Hospitality Holdings, LLC, as seller, is negotiating the sale of The Chancellor Hotel (located at 70 North East Avenue). The sale is scheduled to close December 12, 2018. Pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement, Seller is to obtain certain documents from the City of Fayetteville. Attached for the City Council's review and approval are copies of (i) an Assignment of and Assumption of Lease of Meadow Street Parking Deck Levels 1 and 3, (ii) a Parking Estoppel and (iii) a Declaration Estoppel. The Parking Estoppel and Declaration Estoppel are typical estoppel certificates affirming, among other things, the rent payable, that the agreements are in full force and effect and neither of the parties is in default thereunder. The Assignment and Assumption is between Seller and the Purchaser, assigning the parking lease. The City (as Landlord) executes the Assignment and Assumption "for the sole purpose of releasing" Seller from its obligations under the parking lease. To expedite the responsible party's signing, attached is a signature page packet which includes the three pages needing execution. If you could coordinate execution of the attached and return a PDF to me, with originals to follow overnight to my attention at the below address, that would be much appreciated. Thanks again your help. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or need anything else. Best, Michael Michael D.
