This Agreement made this 1st day of September, 2005 by and between Sunstone Hotel Properties, Inc. for and on behalf of The Kahler Grand Hotel, Rochester Marriott Mayo Clinic Area, Kahler Inn & Suites, Holiday Inn Express, and Textile Care Services located in Rochester, Minnesota, hereinafter referred to as “Employer,” and UNITE HERE Local 21, hereinafter referred to as “Union.”

WHEREAS, it is the desire of the respective parties hereto to avoid disruption in

the service and operation of the units covered by this contract and to secure the benefits intended to be derived by the Employer, its employees and the Union under these articles of Agreement, it is agreed by and between the Employer and the Union as follows:

ARTICLE 1

RECOGNITION

The Employer above named, for and on behalf of the properties above named, recognizes the Union as the exclusive bargaining representative of all employees of the Employer employed at the above-properties in Rochester, Minnesota listed in the classifications set forth in Appendix A, with respect to wages, hours, and all other working conditions.

ARTICLE 2

UNION SECURITY

1. The Employer agrees not to enter into any contract or agreement with the employees herein, individually or collectively, which conflicts with the terms and provisions hereof.

2. All employees covered by this contract who are now or who may hereafter become members of the Union shall, during the life of this agreement, remain members of the Union in good standing or pay fees in lieu thereof as a condition of continued employment. “In good standing” for the purposes of this agreement is defined to mean the payment as required by the Union of a standard initiation fee and standard regular monthly dues relating to the Union’s collective bargaining function, applied uniformly to all members of the bargaining unit covered by this contract.

Provided, however, temporary summer employees hired between May 1 and September 30 will be exempt for four (4) months from initiation fees normally charged other employees. It is agreed that these temporary positions shall be posted and that any employees who take a temporary position shall not be restricted from

3

bidding on a regular position should one become available. If such employees are retained past September 30, they will be obligated to pay the initiation fee. Such employees will be entitled to all fringe benefits for which they qualify except seniority and insurance.

3. Employees hired who average ten (10) hours or more per week in a four

(4) week period or who have been working under a work permit shall, as a condition of employment, become and remain members in good standing of the Union or pay fees in lieu thereof after thirty (30) calendar days employment. All such employees averaging over said ten (10) hours shall have all of the benefits under this contract except as to insurance benefits, and such employees shall average twenty-five (25) hours or more per week. Provided, however, that employees in tip classifications who average twenty (20) hours or more per week will be covered by the insurance benefits. In determining the average, the weekly average shall be determined the last pay period of each month based upon the previous twenty-six (26) week period. The twenty-six (26) week period shall be a floating period.

4. The Employer shall mail to the Union all changes occurring during the calendar month by the tenth (10th) of the following month, including acquisitions and terminations. Employees who exceed ten (10) hours average per week in a four (4) week period are considered as new acquisitions.

5. The Employer and the Union agree not to adopt rules or regulations or to engage in practices that will conflict with this agreement.

6. The Employer shall check off monthly Union dues and initiation fees and/or other required fees in a manner according to procedures agreed upon between the representatives of both parties, upon receipt of written authorization form to deduct Union dues or fees signed by the employee. By the twelfth (12th) of each month the Union must submit to the Employer in duplicate a current list of deductions to be made. The Employer agrees to remit such deductions to the Union by the last Friday of the current month after receipt of deduction list. The date of dues deductions may be changed by agreement between the Employer and the Union.

7. When a vacancy exists the Employer will notify the Union which will refer candidates for employment. The Employer shall have no obligation to hire any person so referred.

8. The designated union representative will be allowed to visit the premises of

the Employer for the purpose of administering this Agreement. The Union representative will provide the Human Resources Director or General Manager with as much advance notice as is possible prior to visiting the facility. Upon arriving at the facility, the Union representative will check in at the office. It is agreed that the work of the employees will

4

not be interrupted by such visits. Union representatives will not meet with employees during working time without the knowledge and permission of the Employer.

9. New Member Orientation. The Union or a designated representative will be

provided access to newly hired employees on the Employer’s premises, after thirty (30) days of employment, to provide information about the Labor Agreement and the employees’ rights thereunder. Such access shall be for up to thirty (30) minutes, once per month, at a mutually agreed upon time and location.

10. Tip Check-Off – the Employer agrees to honor political contribution

deduction authorizations from employees in the following form:

I hereby authorize my Employer to deduct from my pay the sum of $___ per pay period and to forward that amount as my voluntary contribution to the UNITE HERE CHICAGO & Midwest Regional Joint Board Political Education Committee, (CMRJBPEC) 333 So. Ashland Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60607-2775. My decision to participate in the UNITE HERE CMRJBPEC is a voluntary one and I understand that I am under no compulsion to contribute to it, since such contributions are neither a condition of my continued employment or of membership in the Union. I also understand that this authorization may be revoked by me at any time and that it is automatically revoked upon termination of my employment. The political contribution deduction shall be made once each month during which

an employee who has performed compensated service has in effect a voluntarily executed political contribution deduction authorization. The money shall be remitted within thirty (30) days after the last day of the preceding month to the UNITE HERE Chicago & Midwest Regional Joint Board Political Education Committee, 333 So. Ashland Ave., Chicago, IL 60607-2775, accompanied by a form stating the name and Social Security number of each employee for whom a deduction has been made, and the amount deducted.

The Union shall indemnify, defend and save the Employer harmless against any

and all claims, demands, suits, or other terms of liability that may arise out of or by reason of action taken by the Employer in reliance upon payroll deduction authorization cards submitted to the Employer.

ARTICLE 3

SENIORITY

1. Seniority shall be by section (see Appendix B) and by work location (e.g., The Kahler Grand Hotel, Rochester Marriott, Kahler Inn & Suites, Holiday Inn Express, or Textile Care Services), except in the maintenance department as set forth in the maintenance addendum and the banquet department as set forth in the Banquet

5

Department addendum. Employees shall not acquire seniority until they have completed the probationary period; then seniority shall revert to the date of employment.

2. Where qualifications to perform the available work are equal, layoff and recall will be by seniority as defined in paragraph 1.

When recalling employees who have been laid off because of reduction of work force, the Union shall be notified by the Employer of such employees who are to be rehired. If an employee so notified does not. report for work within seven (7) days from the date his notice was mailed by certified mail, he shall forfeit seniority unless he has reasonable excuse for his failure. In the event an employee is employed elsewhere when he/she receives a notice to report for work, the employee shall not forfeit his/her seniority by not reporting unless the Employer gives the employee reasonable assurance of at least three (3) months steady employment. However, the employee must immediately notify the Employer and waive his right to the particular job that is open.

3. Seniority shall mean continuous length of employment with the

Employer in the sections listed in Appendix “B.” Any employee transferred or re-employed in another section retains but does not accumulate his seniority in his original section and, in addition, commences seniority in his new section. When transferring a portion of a section to another section, employees transferred shall merge their seniority in the new section.

4. Where qualifications are equal, employees shall be promoted within their departments on the basis of seniority. Only when a vacancy occurs or a new position is created can seniority be exercised for purposes of shift preference, days off, and server sections.

5. Except where rotation is practiced servers shall be given preferential stations on the basis of seniority, provided that they are sufficiently qualified.

6. As with permanent job openings under section 7, an employee laid

off from his/her section shall have preference based on seniority in hiring over any other applicant for other sections of the Employer, even though it may be in another operation, provided qualifications are equal. Seniority shall be forfeited on the following grounds:

(a) Voluntarily leaving the employ of the Employer; (b) Discharge for proper cause; (c) Layoffs in excess of six (6) months; or (d) Failure to report for work after a layoff within a reasonable

time, not to exceed seven (7) days, after the Employer has notified employee to report for work, as previously provided.

6

7. Permanent job openings in the classifications covered in this Agreement will be posted for a minimum of five (5) days on the main bulletin board and at all time clocks of all Sunstone Rochester properties to advise employees of the opening. Employees interested in the position must advise the human resources office in writing of their desire to be transferred or promoted to the open position. Where qualifications are equal, the opening will be filled by seniority, adhering to the following preferences:

1st Employees working in the classification at the property where the opening is available;

2nd Employees working in the classification at other properties; 3rd Employees working outside of the classification who have demonstrated

the skill or potential ability to successfully perform in the position, and who have notified the Employer of their desire to change classifications;

4th Employees working outside of the classification. For purposes of scheduling, employees moving to a new location in the same

classification shall move to the bottom of the seniority list. However, prior classification seniority shall be maintained. If an employee bids for and receives a permanent job vacancy, he/she cannot bid again for a posted job opening for a period of six (6) months. The six (6) month limitation will not apply to requests for shift preferences or work schedules within a classification and section. “Qualifications,” as used herein, shall be based on the Employer’s reasonable judgment of the applicant’s skills, abilities, aptitude, and overall work record. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employer may postpone a transfer or promotion where it would leave another department with an insufficient number of skilled employees or an excessive number of vacancies. Until a permanent job opening is filled, the Employer may use its discretion to select an employee to temporarily fill the opening.

A permanent job opening is a vacancy in a position which is scheduled for fifteen (15) or more hours per week on a regular basis. A permanent job opening will not exist when any person who has a seniority claim on that position is on vacation, sick leave or other leave of absence.

Employees who bid and accept a new position have a thirty (30) day trial period. At the end of the trial period if the employee is unable to meet job requirements or is unhappy in the position, he/she will be returned to the previous position. Either the employee or management may initiate the return. In the event management initiates the return, the employee shall have the right to grieve the decision under the Grievance and Arbitration Procedure contained herein, provided however, the Employer has acted in an arbitrary or capricious manner.

Any regular employee within a classification and section may exercise their

seniority as it applies to shift preference schedules and/or days off up to forty (40) hours in a work week. In the Maintenance Departments, new hires may be trained on the day shift for up to thirty (30) days before shift preference can be exercised to

7

displace that employee. Provided, however, that there will be an automatic extension of an additional thirty (30) days in the event the Employer believes that additional time is required to determine the employee’s ability to work off-shifts. Employees shall not be placed on the third shift until supervisor is satisfied the employee is capable of working alone.

8. Employees laid off shall have preference of work over other employees in the section even though it may be in another operation if they have the seniority and the qualifications to do the work.

9. The Employer shall furnish a complete up to date seniority list to the Union of all employees covered by this Agreement within thirty (30) days following a request from the Union representative. Acquisition lists covering the previous three (3) months shall be submitted within thirty (30) days following February 1st and July 1st of each year. The employee shall advise the Union of all complaints regarding the seniority list.

10. Re-employment of members of the Armed Forces shall be governed by the

Selective Service Act, amendments and regulations. 11. The Employer and the Union shall make every effort to provide work for

incapacitated employees returning from the Armed Forces.

12. When an employee is transferred to a position outside the coverage of this Agreement, he/she shall retain seniority for thirty (30) days. At the end of such time, seniority shall be forfeited if the employee retains a position outside the unit.

13. In the event the Employer rehires an employee who has been discharged, such employee shall not be reinstated in accordance with his accumulated seniority unless such action is approved by both the Union and the Employer.

14. Retirees working on an on-call or part-time basis shall receive the benefits of this contract except those provided under Article 3 and Article 11 (except for the continuance of the $1,000 life insurance coverage if the retiree is eligible.)

15. If there is a reposting of a section, the Union will be notified and upon request the Employer will explain the reason for the reposting.

ARTICLE 4 PROBATIONARY PERIOD

The first sixty (60) days of employment shall be probationary, during which time

an employee may be discharged with or without cause and without recourse to the grievance procedure. An automatic extension of the probationary period of an

8

additional thirty (30) days will apply at the written request of the Employer, in the event the Employer believes that additional time is required to determine the employee’s qualifications.

ARTICLE 5 DISCHARGE OR DISCIPLINE

No employee will be disciplined or discharged without just cause. In the event a

meeting is held for disciplinary purposes, the affected employee shall have the right to have a Union steward and/or Union Business Agent present if the employee so requests.

Copies of all warning notices and all other disciplinary action given employees will be mailed to the Union without delay. In addition, it is agreed that if a verbal warning results in a written report by a supervisor for the employee’s personnel file, a copy of such notice will be given to the employee.

If an employee avoids disciplinary offenses for a period of twenty-four (24) consecutive months, offenses in his/her personal record which preceded that time will not be used as a basis for disciplinary action.

ARTICLE 6

GRIEVANCE AND ARBITRATION PROCEDURE

1. The grievance procedure set forth in this article is established for the specific purpose of providing prompt and amicable means of settlement of all questions arising under the terms of this agreement or the application of them. Both the Employer and the Union intend to make every effort to settle grievances quickly and amicably and with a minimum of friction.

2. An employee may, with or without the assistance of a shop steward, first

attempt to resolve workplace disputes with the employee’s manager. If not resolved informally, the following shall be the grievance procedure:

Step 1. The grievance shall be reduced to writing by the Union Business Agent within twenty-one (21) calendar days from the date of the incident giving rise to the grievance, or within twenty-one (21) calendar days of when the employee reasonably should have had knowledge, and shall be furnished to the Human Resources Director. The written grievance shall set forth the facts giving rise to the grievance, including the dates and persons involved, identify the contract provisions violated, and state the relief requested.

9

Step 2. The Union Business Agent and the Human Resources Director shall meet within fourteen (14) calendar days of receipt of the written grievance and attempt to settle the grievance. If the grievance is not settled, the Employer shall issue a written response to the grievance within seven (7) calendar days of the meeting. Step 3 (Optional). If the grievance is not settled at Step 2, the Union Business Agent may appeal the grievance to mediation within seven (7) calendar days from the date of the decision rendered in Step 2 by giving written notice of a request for mediation to the Employer and the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS), Minnesota Bureau of Mediation, or other neutral mediation agency. Mediation shall consist of up to two (2) Employer representatives and up to two (2) Union representatives, and a neutral mediator acceptable to both parties, who shall mediate the dispute in an attempt to have the parties reach a settlement. No attorneys or other consultants may participate in the mediation. The proceedings shall be informal and no formal record of the proceedings shall be made. If no settlement is reached, the mediator shall provide the parties with an immediate written advisory decision of the grievance, including the grounds for such decision. All offers to compromise presented during the mediation, as well as any decision of the mediator, shall be confidential and non-admissible in any subsequent proceedings. Step 4. If the grievance is not settled at Step 3, or if the Union Business Agent chooses to skip Step 3, the Union may submit the matter to arbitration within fourteen (14) calendar days of the date of the mediation or the Employer’s written response to the grievance by furnishing the Employer with a written request for arbitration and proposing therein the names of three (3) arbitrator(s) acceptable to the requesting party. The Union shall also state in writing the matter to be arbitrated and the relief that is sought. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within fourteen (14) days the Union shall request the FMCS to submit a panel of seven (7) names. The Employer and the Union shall alternate striking one name from the list submitted until only one name remains. The Union shall take the first strike. The cost of securing the list of arbitrators shall be shared equally between the Employer and the Union. Arbitration shall be handled in the following manner:

(a) Authority of the arbitrator shall be limited solely to the determination of the

matter submitted in writing at the time of request for arbitration. The arbitrator shall not have power to add to, subtract from, or modify in any way the terms of this contract. If, during the course of the arbitration hearing, either party introduces any facts which were not introduced during any of the steps of the grievance procedure, the other party shall be granted an extension of hearing upon request.

(b) The decision of the arbitrator shall be made not later than thirty (30) days after

the submission of post-hearing briefs, and his/her decision shall be final and binding upon both parties and employees involved.

10

(c) Expenses of the arbitrator shall be paid equally by the Employer and the

Union. If a court reporter is used, the ordering party shall pay the cost thereof, unless the other party requests a copy of the transcript, in which case the cost of the court reporter and transcript shall be paid equally.

The time limitations set forth herein relating to the time for filing a grievance and the demand for arbitration shall be mandatory. Failure to follow said time limitations shall result in the grievance being permanently barred and waived. The time limitations and/or grievance steps provided for herein may be extended or waived by mutual written agreement between the parties.

3. Mathematical or mechanical mistakes on a paycheck resulting in an under or overpayment of the employee may be corrected within sixty (60) calendar days of the pay day involved. If an error is discovered, it must be corrected by payment within five (5) business days (Monday - Friday); provided, however, that the Employer will make a concerted effort to make the corrected payment sooner than five (5) business days if possible.

4. The Union shall advise the Employer of the names of the Union Stewards who shall participate in the grievance procedure and who shall be recognized by the Employer as representatives of the employees for purposes of enforcing this agreement, and who will generally act as representatives on the job of the Union.

The words “Union Steward” shall mean and refer only to employees who are designated by the Union in writing to the Employer as authorized representatives of the employees of a specific department for grievance procedure purposes. Whenever such authorization is withdrawn as to an individual Union steward or a new Union steward is added to the number of those authorized, the Union shall promptly notify the Employer in writing of such action. The Employer and its representatives shall be fully protected with a Union steward so authorized with respect to any grievance as to which he has at any time purported to represent the aggrieved employee and they need not deal with any Union steward not so authorized.

5. When a grievance requires the attention of a shop steward during working hours, he/she shall first secure the permission of his/her supervisor. The handling of all grievances shall be done during working hours, without any deduction from wages of employees who necessarily attend. The Union agrees to attempt to minimize any disruption to the Employer’s operation.

ARTICLE 7 LEAVES OF ABSENCE

1. Employees may be granted leaves of absence by the Employer for a period

of not more than thirty (30) days. Leaves of absence in excess of thirty (30) days, and

11

any extensions of leaves beyond the thirty (30) days, shall be put into writing by the Employer and a copy kept by the employee, the Employer and the Union. Requests for such leaves and extensions shall be made to the employee’s immediate supervisor. However, leaves of absence for illness or injury will be granted upon request for absences not to exceed two (2) years.

Illness or injury which qualifies for leave under the Federal Family Medical Leave Act will run concurrently with Family Medical Leave Act leaves.

Employees who have been employed for at least one (1) year may be granted a leave of absence for educational purposes up to twelve (12) months, provided the leave is used for future employment with the Employer, and is approved by management.

2. The Employer agrees to grant necessary time off without pay or loss of seniority rights to any employee designated by the Union to attend a labor convention or serve in any capacity on other official Union business. The Union agrees to give in writing two (2) weeks notice to the Employer. It is agreed that there shall be no disruption of the Employer’s operation.

3. Any employee who is appointed as a full time Business Representative or is elected to a full time office of the Union, or the International Union, shall be given a leave of absence not to exceed a total of six years.

4. Disability leaves of absence for employees will be granted in accordance with the recommendation of the attending physician, not to exceed two (2) years. Maternity/paternity leaves will not be granted beyond three (3) months unless supported by the attending physician.

5. Failure to report for work at the end of the period of a leave of absence is equivalent to resignation.

6. Seniority shall accumulate during the period of leave of absence.

7. In the event of the death of a member of an employee’s immediate family, he/she will be granted time off from work with pay for up to three (3) consecutive days, one of which must be the day of the funeral. The employee will be paid for that portion of his/her regular week’s work which falls within the above three (3) day period if he/she was, under the terms of this Agreement, scheduled to work. If bereavement leave occurs during an employee’s scheduled vacation, the employee will be permitted to substitute bereavement leave in lieu of vacation time. The Employer may require an employee to provide proof of death.

Immediate family shall mean the employee’s father, mother, father-in-law, mother-in-law, spouse, previously declared (on Employer form) same-gender domestic partner,

12

children, stepchildren, stepparents, guardian, brother or sister, grandchild, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, grandparents, half-brother, stepbrother, half-sister, stepsister, current grandparent-in-law, current brother-in-law and current sister-in-law.

In addition to the foregoing paid leave, an employee will be permitted to take one (1) day of unpaid leave in order to serve as a pallbearer. An employee also may take off up to three (3) days without pay to attend the funeral of an aunt or uncle.

8. Jury Duty: If a regular employee with seniority is summoned for petit or grand jury service, such employee shall be paid the difference between jury pay and the pay the employee would have earned from the Employer for each day of jury duty which falls on a day on which the employee would otherwise be scheduled to work. If on a day the employee would otherwise be working for the Employer, he or she is released from jury duty prior to the end of his or her scheduled shift, the employee will be expected to return to work as soon as possible. No employee shall be required to perform work for the employer during any twenty-four (24) hour period (11:00 p.m. - 11:00 p.m.) during which the employee is required to be present for a petite jury or grand jury service.

To be eligible for benefits under this section, the employee must endorse and turn over to the Employer the check received for jury duty. All hours spent on jury duty will be credited for purposes of calculating vacation and holiday benefits. The Employer will in turn pay the employee the pay the employee would otherwise have earned on that day. Payment for jury duty service will be limited to a maximum of six (6) calendar weeks for each contract year.

9. The Employer is obligated to continue to provide health insurance benefits

during an employee’s leave of absence under this Article only to the extent required by law (e.g., FMLA or Minnesota Parental Leave Law).

Time and one-half shall be paid for all hours worked on the sixth (6th) day to all employees except banquet servers. However, banquet servers will not normally be required to work a sixth (6th) day until all regular full-time servers have been rescheduled for five (5) days.

MAINTENANCE ADDENDUM

Apprentices in the Maintenance Department will be permitted to take a test to move to the “mechanic” classification after completing two years of service as an apprentice. The apprentice wishing to take the test will furnish the employer with a written request and will be permitted to take the test within thirty (30) calendar days following the written request. The employer will inform the apprentice of the test results within thirty (30) calendar days of taking the test. If the apprentice passes the test he/she will be promoted to the “mechanic” classification.

At Textile Care Services, the laundry specialist classification will require the employee to have a class 1-B boiler license and maintenance electrician’s license. The employee will be required to demonstrate skills in electronics to troubleshoot PLC and computer control systems, make programming changes as directed by the equipment manufacturer and repair circuit boards. The employee will be required to demonstrate proficiency in welding and plumbing.

The Employer agrees to provide, at no cost to the employee, for all training and education that is required for maintenance employees to obtain and maintain licensure provided the training is approved by the Employer and the course is successfully completed.

The Employer agrees to employ no more than the, following number of employees in the classifications of light/yard maintenance and preventative maintenance:

Facility Light/Yard Preventative The Kahler Grand Hotel 2 2 Kahler Inn & Suites 1 1Rochester Marriott , 1 1Holiday Inn Express 1 1TCS 1 3

Seniority Rights. The Employer will maintain a system-wide/departmental

seniority list containing the names of all maintenance employees at the four (4) hotels for purposes of layoff, sale of one (1) or more of the hotels, and bidding on job openings. In addition, separate seniority lists will be maintained at each hotel, by classification, for purposes of vacation preference, shift preference, overtime, and “temporary” reduction of hours. A separate seniority list for maintenance employees working at Textile Care Services will be maintained for purposes of all seniority rights. “Temporary” as used in this paragraph shall mean reduction of hours after the weekly schedule is posted, or

C-2 329061.1

before the weekly schedule is posted up to a maximum of twenty percent (20%) reduction in a work week.

As part of the 2001 reorganization of the maintenance department and possible reclassification of maintenance employees, positions at all locations will be posted and maintenance employees will be allowed to bid on the positions based on system wide/departmental seniority, according to the job bid procedures set forth in Article 3, Section 7.

Staffing and appropriate coverage at all locations will be determined by management.

With the exception of apprentices, advancement to a higher paid classification

will only be permitted when a new position opens in a specific classification. Any and all license requirements will be determined by management and/or

applicable law.

No maintenance employee’s wages will be reduced or frozen as a result of the 2001 reorganization of the maintenance department, reclassification of maintenance employees in connection with the reorganization, or the creation of new classifications as set forth in Appendix A.

329061.1 D-1

APPENDIX “D”

Housekeeping Addendum

A housekeeping employee shall not be required to clean more than seventeen (17) rooms (sixteen (16) rooms at the Marriott Rochester) within eight (8) hours. When a housekeeping employee cleans eleven (11) or more check outs in a day, the maximum number of assigned rooms shall be reduced by one (1), and when a housekeeping employee cleans fourteen (14) or more check outs in a day, the maximum number of assigned rooms shall be reduced by two (2). Each bedroom or separate sitting room of a suite shall count as one (1) room. Management in its sole discretion may reduce the number of rooms to be cleaned during a shift or assign a houseperson to assist a housekeeping employee with rooms where, for example, rooms are exceptionally dirty or extraordinary cleaning is required.

A housekeeping employee who volunteers to clean more than the foregoing

amount of rooms within eight (8) hours shall be paid a bought room bonus of seven dollars ($7.00) for each additional room. However, the bought room bonus shall not apply to rooms cleaned during overtime.

The Employer shall permit non-probationary housekeeping employees to

leave up to thirty (30) minutes before the end of their scheduled shift, with no loss of pay, after having cleaned all assigned rooms to Hotel standards. Where a housekeeping employee receives a documented verbal or written warning for failure to meet Hotel standards, the housekeeping employee will not be permitted to leave early for thirty (30) days.

Employees asked to clean residential Condos will be paid an additional five dollars ($5.00) per hour with a minimum of one (1) hour.

Housekeeping supervisors shall not normally enter a checkout room before it is

cleaned unless the housekeeper assigned to the room accompanies the supervisor. The Employer shall not arbitrarily reassign housekeeping sections. The Employer will install sharps containers in all Hotel public restrooms.

No Hotel employees shall be required, to clean up and/or dispose of human or

animal waste, vomit or significant blood spill. Employees shall comply with the Employer’s procedures whenever they encounter human or animal feces, vomit, or significant blood spill in the workplace, and shall immediately contact a qualified responder who will handle disposal.

D-2 329061.1

Hotel employees shall not be required to handle any items that have been placed in

a bio-hazard bag. Employees shall contact their supervisor for handling of those items.

In the event Hotel employees encounter improperly discarded syringes or other sharp objects while working, they shall be disposed of in accordance with established policy. The policy will include adequate available “sharps” containers for collection.

329061.1 E-1

APPENDIX “E”

Banquet Department Addendum

Banquet Definition. A banquet shall be deemed to be any reserved function with a pre-set menu and a fixed cost, including receptions, supervised by the banquet department.

System-Wide Seniority. For purposes of lay-off, recall and filling available positions, the Employer shall maintain a master seniority list which shall contain the names of all regular full-time and regular part-time banquet servers who work in each of the Employer’s hotels. Seniority shall be based on first function worked as a regular server following completion of probation.

Seniority by Location. The Employer will maintain at each location three (3) banquet employee seniority lists for purposes of scheduling at each of the Hotels.

A. First List. The First List will contain the names of all regular full-time banquet employees. These employees must be available to work any shift at the Hotel(s), seven days per week. The seniority list for regular full-time banquet employees shall be posted every month.

Although fluctuations in business will have an impact on the Employer’s ability to consistently schedule these employees on a full-time basis, it is the intention of the parties to provide First List employees with a reasonable opportunity to work a full-time schedule. Accordingly, the number of employees on the First List will be established and maintained so as to reflect this intention.

B. Second List.

The Second List will contain the names of banquet employees who are available to work a minimum of three (3) shifts, per week, at the Hotel(s). The days and shifts on which such employees are available will be submitted to management in writing. Second List employees will be on a separate seniority list, which will be posted. Second List employees will be scheduled only after the First List has been exhausted, when necessary, to meet staffing needs, or where use of the First List employees would result in the payment of overtime.

C. On-Call List.

The On-Call List will contain the names of banquet employees who are called and work on an “as needed” basis at the Hotel(s). On-Call employees

E-2 329061.1

may be scheduled when the First and Second Lists have been exhausted, where necessary to meet staffing needs, or where use of First or Second List employees would result in the payment of overtime. Local 21 will check hours worked on a monthly basis to see if hours worked fall under guidelines (average 10 hours/week are subject to dues).

D. Seniority Standing. 1. First List employees moving to the Second List will be “dove-

tailed” based on seniority date. The Second List employees moving to the First List will go to the bottom of the list with seniority based on date of transfer.

2. First List servers will have preference for scheduling purposes at

their own Hotel and preference over Second List and On-Call servers at the other Hotels.

3. Maximum hours available will be offered to senior First List

employees, up to forty (40) hours per week, but no employee will work a-triple shift until all First List employees have been offered a double shift.

4. Any regular server involuntarily cut from a function shall be

entitled to bump the least senior server scheduled to work at their home Hotel, in that work week.

5. Employee requests for days off must be received in writing by

noon, forty-eight (48) hours prior to posting of the weekly schedule, and will be duly considered. A regular server will not be disciplined for his/her inability to work a shift if the server is notified less than twenty-four (24) hours before the scheduled shift.

6. All weekly banquet schedules shall be posted at each of the

Hotels. It is understood that employees may be required to work at all locations.

E. Special Conditions/Scheduling.

Employees will be scheduled by shifts. A shift is defined as a work period of no less than three (3) hours and no more than eight (8) hours. A shift may include working one, or any combination of, the following events:

APPENDIX “I”

GUEST SERVICE

The parties agree to supplement the Agreement for the following purposes:

WHEREAS, the parties recognize that premier guest service is essential to the success of the Hotel and its ability to employ persons who are paid competitive wages;

WHEREAS, the parties recognize that because most guest dissatisfaction is not reported, and most dissatisfied guests simply take their business elsewhere, the guest complaints received by the Hotel are a reflection of dissatisfaction by some who have not complained but who will not return to the Hotel;

WHEREAS, the parties agree that the Hotel shall train employees on how to provide premier guest service and that each employee may be expected to successfully complete such training;

WHEREAS, the parties agree that the Hotel should not employ or continue to employ employees who are either unable or unwilling to provide, or who do not provide, premier guest service;

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows: (1) The Hotel has the right to establish service standards and appearance, grooming, and dress standards that must be adhered to by all employees and managers.

(2) The parties agree that the Hotel may apply progressive discipline, up to and including discharge, against employees who are the subject of guest complaints other than those set forth in the following paragraph 3 (examples of complaints include, but are not limited to, misplaced luggage, guest room not completely cleaned, mishandled food or beverage order, incorrect credit card charge). (3) The parties agree that the Hotel shall have just cause for discharge of any employee who, among other reasons:

a) Is the subject of two or more legitimate complaints from guests within one year of poor, rude, or discourteous service (examples include, but are not limited to, use of foul language in the presence of a guest, arguing with a guest, indifference to a guest concern, carrying on personal business while a guest is waiting);

I-2

b) Is the subject of one legitimate complaint from a guest of extraordinarily

poor, rude, or discourteous guest service (examples include, but are not limited to, directing foul language toward a guest, sexual or other harassment of a guest, refusal to assist a guest, requesting or adding a gratuity);

c) Fails to pass a course pertaining to the Hotel’s service standards;

d) Acts in gross neglect of the Hotel’s service standards on one occasion or

more, unless the Hotel deems it appropriate to excuse such neglect on a non-precedent setting basis.

(4) In the event the Hotel chooses to conduct written or oral testing of

employees in connection with guest service training, such tests must be reasonable, job related, and non-discriminatory. Such tests shall be limited to guest service and communication skills and abilities, as well as employee knowledge of the services and products offered by the Hotel. The Union shall be permitted to a copy of any tests used in advance of utilization by the Hotel. The Union shall be permitted to grieve such tests if it believes they are unreasonable, not job related, and/or discriminate on an unlawful basis.

(5) Where a guest complaint is reduced to writing, the Hotel shall not be required to compel the guest to testify during the grievance and arbitration procedure or reveal the guest’s address or telephone number to the Union or to the employee. The Hotel may introduce into evidence at arbitration written guest complaints. Upon request of the Union, the Hotel shall provide the Union with a copy of any written guest complaint that resulted in disciplinary action being taken against an employee, with the guest’s identity redacted from such copy. Where the Union wishes to investigate a complaint, the Hotel shall arrange for a conference call between the guest, a representative of the Union, and a representative of Hotel management. Where, however, an employee has been discharged based on one or more guest complaints the Union shall be permitted to investigate the complaint to the extent permitted by the National Labor Relations Act, as interpreted by the National Labor Relations Board and the courts.

DRUG AND ALCOHOL TESTING

This Drug and Alcohol Testing Policy is intended to be in accordance with Minnesota law and with the terms of the Agreement. OBJECTIVE:

The Company strives to maintain a work environment free from the effects of drug and alcohol abuse for the protection of our customers, employees, and the community.

2. Employees are not permitted to work under the influence of alcohol or any illegal drug. Employees violating this provision are subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination.

3. Abuse of legally prescribed drugs or controlled substances, or over-the-counter drugs, is prohibited because it may impair an employee’s ability to perform his or her job responsibilities. Depending on individual circumstances, this abuse could result in termination.

4. Employees suffering from drug dependency are encouraged to seek medical treatment. The Human Resources representative may be contacted for referrals for evaluation and/or treatment facilities and the application of Company medical benefits for evaluation and treatment. No employee may suffer reprisals as a result of seeking help. If an employee feels he/she has suffered reprisals, he/she should report it to the Human Resources representative immediately and an appropriate investigation and action will take place. 5. Every employee will receive a copy of the Drug and Alcohol Testing Policy and will be required to sign an Acknowledgment Form, Attachment A, which will be kept in the employee’s personnel file. In addition, the Company shall post notices in

J-2

appropriate and conspicuous locations at each of its worksites that the Company has adopted a Drug and Alcohol Testing Policy and that copies of the Policy are available for inspection during regular business hours by its employees and job applicants in the Company’s Human Resources office. 6. An employee may be required to undergo drug and alcohol testing when at least two (2) supervisors (if feasible) have reasonable suspicion that the employee:

a) is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Factors that may be considered in determining whether an employee is under the influence of drugs and alcohol include but are not limited to: evidence of repeated errors on the job, Company rule violation, and unsatisfactory time and attendance patterns, if coupled with specific facts and rational inferences drawn from those facts that indicate possible drug use; or

b) has violated the Company’s written Policy Statements (numbers 1, 2, or 3

above); or

c) has had a personal injury while working or has caused a personal injury to another person; or

d) has caused a work-related accident or was operating or helping to operate

machinery, equipment or vehicles in a work-related accident.

Post-accident or injury testing will be conducted as soon as practical following the accident, but not later than thirty-two (32) hours following the accident.

7. Drug and alcohol testing will be accomplished by the collection of hair, urine, and/or blood. The screening of hair, urine, and/or blood samples will be performed by qualified and certified testing laboratories. Testing is done for alcohol and the following drugs and drug classes:

Marijuana metabolites, cocaine metabolites, the opiates morphine and codeine, phencyclidine (PCP, angel dust), and amphetamines (amphetamine and methamphetamine), and/or all other drug classes as described in Schedules I through V of Minn. Stat. Section 152.02.

10. If a positive test result on a confirmatory test was the first such result for the employee on a drug or alcohol test by the Company, the employee will be immediately suspended without pay. The employee can be reinstated upon participation in either a drug or alcohol counseling or rehabilitation program, whichever is more appropriate as determined by the Company after consultation with a certified chemical use counselor or a physician trained in the diagnosis and treatment of chemical dependency. The cost for the evaluation will be paid by the Company. Costs for the recommended treatment will be the employee’s responsibility. Employees who refuse to participate in the counseling or rehabilitation program or fail to successfully complete the program, as evidenced by withdrawal from the program before its completion or by a positive test result on a confirmatory test after the completion of the program, may be subject to termination.

11. An employee who is referred by the Company for chemical dependency treatment or evaluation or is participating in a chemical dependency treatment program may be requested or required to undergo drug or alcohol testing without prior notice during the evaluation or treatment period and for up to one (1) year following completion of any prescribed chemical dependency treatment program. An employee testing positive during this period may be subject to termination.

12. A Medical Review Officer (M.R.O.) will review all test results. All positive test results shall be confirmed by a Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry analysis of the original specimen sample. The M.R.O. will review and interpret analytical (laboratory) results, validate the results scientifically, and determine if there is a legitimate medical explanation for a positive test result, and notify the Company of the results. The M.R.O. is a third party licensed physician with specialized knowledge of substance abuse.

13. The Company reserves the right to change or terminate this Policy and Procedures at any time, after prior notice and negotiation with the Union. Every employee will be given a copy of the amended policy if a change is made.

14. Test result reports and other information acquired in the drug and alcohol testing process are confidential information. Disclosure of the results to third parties may be done with the employee’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding the above, test results may be disclosed to any federal agency or other unit of the United

J-4

States government as required under federal law, regulation or order, or in accordance with compliance requirements of a federal government contract. The test results may also be disclosed to a substance abuse treatment facility for the purpose of evaluation or treatment of the employee, or may be disclosed to the Union or other necessary persons in connection with a potential or actual grievance or threatened or actual litigation. An employee has the right to request and receive from the Company, a copy of the test result report on any drug or alcohol test.

15. No employee may be required to undergo drug or alcohol testing without the

prior approval of the Director of Human Resources or the General Manager or his/her designee.

PROCEDURES:

1. When at least two (2) supervisors (if feasible) have reasonable suspicion to test an employee as stated in Policy Statement #6, the request must go to the applicable Human Resources representative or his/her designee to arrange for the collection and begin the required paperwork designating the need for hair, urine, and/or blood specimen.

2. Before a test is administered, the Company will ensure that the employee has completed a Drug and Alcohol Acknowledgment Form.

3. The employee will go to the collection site and provide a hair, urine, and/or blood specimen and appropriate identification.

If an employee appears impaired and unable to safely go to the collection site on his/her own, the Company will arrange for transportation to the collection site and home following the collection procedure. Under no circumstances should an employee suspected of being impaired be allowed to drive. The employee will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expense incurred in taking the test, with proper documentation.

5. The M.R.O. will communicate the results to the Company Human Resources representative.

6. The Human Resources representative and/or the employee’s supervisor will communicate the results of the test to the employee or job applicant, as the case may be, within three working days upon receipt of the results.

writing of his/her right to explain the positive test and the Company may request that the employee indicate any over-the-counter or prescription medication that the individual is currently taking or has recently taken and any other information relevant to the reliability of, or explanation for, a positive test result.

8. Within three (3) working days after notice of a positive test result on a confirmatory test, the employee may submit information to the Company, in addition to any information already submitted under paragraph 7, to explain that result, or may request a confirmatory re-test of the original sample at the employee's own expense.
