management company to manage the Hotel, Franchisee shall apply to Franchisor for its consent. In order to be approved by Franchisor, a proposed management company must be deemed by Franchisor, in its reasonable judgment, qualified to manage the
Hotel. Franchisor hereby acknowledges and agrees that any entity controlled by Jeffrey H. Fisher is deemed qualified to manage the Hotel and that any revocation of such approval shall take place only upon Franchisor’s reasonable determination
that continued management by such entity will result in adverse harm to the System. Franchisor may refuse to approve any proposed management company which, in Franchisor’s reasonable judgment, is not financially capable or responsible, is
inexperienced or unqualified in managerial skills or operational capacity or capability, or is otherwise unable to adhere fully to the obligations and requirements of this Agreement. Franchisor may also withhold its approval if the proposed
management company does not provide Franchisor with all information that Franchisor may reasonably request in order to reach such decision. It is understood that confidential information and materials are, in the normal course of business, imparted
to System franchisees and managers, and Franchisor will be under no obligation to approve any proposed management company that is a franchisor or owner, or is affiliated with the franchisor or owner (other than as a passive investor), of an upscale,
extended-stay hotel as defined by Smith Travel Research. Franchisor reserves the right, at its option and upon reasonable notice, to revoke its approval of any management company that fails to continue to meet Franchisor’s standards, as
determined by Franchisor in its reasonable discretion and based upon factors consistently applied to all System Hotel managers.”

and Franchisee agrees to participate in, any program specified by Franchisor for referring prospective customers to other hotels when the customers cannot be accommodated by Franchisee’s Hotel or any other System Hotel. Nothing herein shall

designated with respect to such items on Exhibit 2 (each, a “Next Renovation Date”). All such upgrades shall be completed at Franchisee’s or the Hotel Owner’s sole cost and expense and in compliance with the standards and
specifications of Franchisor in effect at the time that Franchisee commences work with respect to any item (the “Commencement Date Specs”). At each next Renovation Date, Franchisee shall be required to conform the item (if applicable) to
the trade dress and FF&E required under Franchisor’s then-current System standards (which standards shall be applied consistently throughout the System for hotels of similar age), including, without limitation, such FF&E replacements,
remodeling, redecoration and modifications to existing improvements as may be necessary to do so. In imposing requirements to upgrade the Hotel pursuant hereto, Franchisor shall be reasonable and shall consider the then-current System standards and
requirements and the current structural design of the Hotel (and such standards shall be applied consistently throughout the System for hotels of similar age). Franchisee acknowledges that its failure to complete the renovations required hereby

contribution, or to ensure that any particular franchisee benefits directly or pro rata from expenditures by the Fund. Prior to the expenditure thereof, the collected Marketing Fees may be held or maintained in one or more accounts,
any of which also may include funds other than Marketing Fees, but Franchisor in any event shall provide to Franchisee, upon Franchisee’s written request, but in no event more than once per calendar year, an annual accounting and/or report
reasonably acceptable to Franchisee regarding the Marketing Fee. Franchisor also will permit Franchisee access to Franchisor’s records concerning the holding and expenditure of such Marketing Fee at any reasonable time or times during

assignment of Franchisor’s rights under this Agreement, Franchisor also reserves the right to require any purchaser, assignee or transferee to cease using the Proprietary Marks and substitute different names, marks, logos, insignia, slogans,
emblems, designs or other identifying commercial symbols in connection with the continued operation of the business. In any such event, Franchisor may require Franchisee, at Franchisor’s expense (or at the expense of such purchaser, assignee or

 b. Termination – Notice Only. Section XVII.B.6. of the Franchise Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and is replaced by the following:

  
 “6. If in an audit conducted pursuant to the provisions
of this Agreement Franchisee is determined to have underreported Gross Room Revenues by five percent (5%) or more twice in any thirty-six (36) month period;” 
  

 First Amendment to Franchise Agreement - Page 11 








 c. Section XVII. of the Franchise Agreement is hereby amended by the addition of the following as new
subsection D.: 
  
 “D. Termination by Franchisee.

  
 1. Franchisor shall be deemed to be in default under this
Agreement and all rights granted hereunder shall automatically terminate without notice from Franchisee, if Franchisor or its parent, Wyndham International, Inc. (“Wyndham”), shall become insolvent or make a general assignment for the
benefit of creditors, or if a petition in bankruptcy is filed by Franchisor of Wyndham or such a petition is filed against and consented to by Franchisor or Wyndham, or if Franchisor or Wyndham is adjudicated bankrupt, or if a bill in equity or
other proceeding for the appointment of a receiver of Franchisor or Wyndham or other custodian for Franchisor’s business or assets or Wyndham’s business or assets is filed and consented to by Franchisor or Wyndham or if a receiver or other
custodian (permanent or temporary) of Franchisor’s or Wyndham’s assets or property, or any part thereof, is appointed by any court of competent jurisdiction, or if proceedings for a compromise with creditors under any state or federal law
is instituted by, against or consented to by Franchisor or Wyndham., or if a final judgment remains unsatisfied or of record for ninety (90) days or longer (unless a supersedeas bond is filed). 
  
 2. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Franchisee
shall have the right to terminate this Agreement without payment of liquidated damages or a termination fee but subject to payment of all accrued fees then due and owing if, 
  
 a. At any time following the Effective Date, all or substantially all of the Summerfield Suites® by Wyndham Hotels operated, managed and/or franchised
for operation by Franchisor and/or its Affiliates are converted to any brand other than one of the Alternative Hotel Brands set forth in Exhibit 1 to the First Amendment to Franchise Agreement. If Franchisee elects to terminate this Agreement
pursuant to this Section XVII.D.2.a., Franchisee shall give written notice thereof to Franchisor, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate upon the date specified in such notice, which shall not be less than ninety (90) days after such notice is
given. 
  
 b. During the five (5) calendar years
following the Effective Date, Franchisor and/or its Affiliates have entered into fewer than five (5) new agreements (excluding the renewal and extension of any agreements in existence on the Effective Date) for the operation, management and/or
franchise of System Hotels (without regard to any closures of System Hotels during such five (5) year period); provided, that Franchisee shall give at least ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to Franchisor of Franchisee’s election to
terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section XVII.D.2.b. 
  
 c. At any time following the Effective Date there are fewer than fifteen (15) System Hotels operated, managed and/or franchised by Franchisor and/or its Affiliates; provided, that Franchisee shall give at least ninety
(90) days’ prior written notice to Franchisor of Franchisee’s election to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section XVII.D.2.c. 
  

 First Amendment to Franchise Agreement - Page 12 








 d. Franchisor or its Affiliates transfers more than fifty percent (50%) of all
Summerfield Suites® by Wyndham Hotels to an
unaffiliated third party other than a Pre-Approved Assignee (defined below), or Wyndham International, Inc. transfers more than fifty percent (50%) of its direct or indirect ownership interest in Franchisor to an unaffiliated third party other than
a Pre-Approved Assignee. 
  
 e. Franchisor or
its Affiliate transfers fifty percent (50%) or less of all Summerfield Suites® by Wyndham Hotels to an unaffiliated third party other than a Pre-Approved Assignee or Wyndham International, Inc. transfers fifty percent (50%) or less of its direct or indirect ownership interest in Franchisor to an
unaffiliated third party other than a Pre-Approved Assignee; provided, however, that Franchisee shall have no such right to terminate if Wyndham International, Inc. or its Affiliate maintains control of the Summerfield Suites® by Wyndham brand. For the purposes of this Section
XVII.D.2.e., in order for Franchisor to be deemed to control the Summerfield Suites by Wyndham brand, Franchisor must have the right to control (i) the content, implementation, and modification of the Summerfield Suites® by Wyndham System (comprised of franchise and related agreements and brand
standards (including operating and similar manuals)); (ii) the use of all Summerfield Suites® by Wyndham marketing funds; (iii) the design and content of the primary website which includes information regarding Summerfield Suites® by Wyndham Hotels; (iv) the design and operation of the Summerfield Suites® by Wyndham reservation system; and (v) the strategy for
use of all other distribution channels. Franchisor will give Franchisee reasonable notice prior to such proposed transfer. 
  
 The termination rights set forth in Sections XVII.D.2.d. and e. do not apply with respect to a transfer to a Pre-Approved Assignee. For the purposes of
Sections XVII.D.2.d. and e., a “Pre-Approved Assignee” is either (i) one of the following hotel companies: Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, Intercontinental, Fairmont, Mandarin, Peninsula, Four Seasons, Starwood, Carlson, or Omni or (ii) any other
entity which (x) ) has a net worth of at least twenty five million dollars ($25,000,000) and (y) through itself or an Affiliate, then-currently owns, manages, or franchises at least fifty (50) upscale (or better) hotels with an aggregate of at least
seven thousand five hundred (7,500) keys which derived during the one (1) year period immediately preceding the date of the transfer at least twenty percent (20%) (“Brand Contribution Threshold”) of total gross room revenues from or
through the entity’s or the entity’s Affiliate’s (a) reservation systems, (b) national sales offices (group, business travel and leisure) and (c) frequent guest programs (“Brand Contribution GRR”). For the purposes of
determining whether the Brand Contribution Threshold has been met, if franchisees of such hotel system independently book groups (“Independent Group Bookings”) which cause the available room inventory of any hotel to decrease by twenty
percent (20%) or more (“Inventory Shortage”), then neither the total gross room revenue nor the Brand Contribution GRR shall include that portion of gross room revenue derived from such Independent Group Bookings which results in the
Inventory Shortage. 
  

 First Amendment to Franchise Agreement - Page 13 








 With respect to any termination under this Section XVII.D.2., Franchisee represents, warrants, and
agrees that it will continue to operate the Hotel during the notice period exclusively as a franchisee under the System and that it will comply with all terms of this Agreement and will pay all fees and charges applicable thereunder during the
notice period.” 
  
 17. Liquidated Damages. Section
XVIII.E. of the Franchise Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and is replaced by the following: 
  
 “E. Pay Liquidated Damages. If this Agreement is terminated for any reason, other than a rightful termination of this Agreement by Franchisee
for reasons including those specifically provided in Section XVII.D., Franchisee shall pay to Franchisor liquidated damages for the premature termination of this Agreement only and not as a penalty or as damages for breaching this Agreement or in
lieu of any other payment. Except with respect to a termination in connection with a sale of the Hotel to an unaffiliated third party, liquidated damages shall be a lump sum equal to the total amounts required under Sections III.B. and III.C. during
the thirty six (36) full calendar months of operation preceding the termination; or if the Hotel has not been in operation as a Wyndham Hotel for thirty six (36) full calendar months, the greater of: (i) thirty six (36) times the monthly average of
such amounts, or (ii) thirty six (36) times such amounts as are due for the one full calendar month preceding such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if the number of months remaining between the date of Franchisor’s written
notice of default (or, in the event of termination pursuant to Section XVII.A., the occurrence of the termination event) and the date on which the term of this Agreement would otherwise have ended pursuant to Section II. hereof is less than thirty
six (36) months, then the time period for calculating the amount of liquidated damages shall be the number of months remaining in such term. If this Agreement is terminated in connection with the sale of the Hotel to an unaffiliated third party, the
measurement period for the calculation of liquidated damages shall be twelve (12), rather than thirty-six (36) months. 
  
 The parties acknowledge that a precise calculation of the full extent of the damages which Franchisor will incur in the event of the premature
termination of this Agreement is difficult in the extreme, and agree that the lump sum payment provided under this Section XVIII.E. is a reasonable estimate of the damages for premature termination which Franchisor will incur in such event. Such
payment of liquidated damages shall be in addition to amounts provided immediately below in Section XVIII.F. The payment of liquidated damages hereunder shall not affect Franchisor’s rights to obtain appropriate equitable relief and remedies,
such as injunctive relief to enforce Section X. hereof and specific performance to enforce Section XVIII. hereof.” 
  
 18. Condemnation and Casualty. Section XIX.B. of the Franchise Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and is replaced by the following:

  
 “B. Casualty. If the Hotel is damaged or
destroyed by fire or other cause, which damage or destruction necessitates the closing of the Hotel for a period in excess of one hundred eighty (180) days and Franchisee elects not to repair or rebuild the Hotel, Franchisee shall have the right to

  

 First Amendment to Franchise Agreement - Page 14 








 terminate this Agreement without payment of liquidated damages but subject to the payment of all accrued
fees then due and owing under this Agreement, upon written notice to Franchisor given within sixty (60) days prior to the proposed termination date.” 
  
 19. Taxes, Permits and Indebtedness. Section XX.D. of the Franchise Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following:

  
 “D. Notice of Judicial and Regulatory Matters.
Franchisee shall notify Franchisor in writing within five (5) days of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, and of the issuance of any order, writ, injunction, award or decree of any court, agency or other governmental instrumentality,
which may materially and adversely affect the operation or financial condition of the franchised business. Copies of all inspection reports, warnings, certificates and ratings issued by any governmental entity during the term of this Agreement in
connection with the Hotel which indicate a material failure to meet or maintain governmental standards or to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation, shall be forwarded to Franchisor by Franchisee within five (5) days of Franchisee’s
receipt thereof.” 
  
 20. Independent Contractor and
Indemnification. Section XXI.B of the Franchise Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following: 
  
 “B. Indemnity. Throughout the term of this Agreement, Franchisee shall indemnify, defend and save harmless Franchisor, its Affiliates, their
respective officers, directors, agents, representatives, employees, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), from and against all payments of money (including, without limitation, all losses, costs, liabilities,
damages, claims, fines, settlement amounts, reasonable legal fees, costs and expenses) of every kind and description arising out of or resulting from Franchisee’s breach of any representation or warranty in this Agreement or the construction,
conversion, operation or use of the Hotel or Hotel premises or of any other business conducted on or in connection with the Hotel by the Franchisee, or because of any act or omission of the Franchisee or anyone associated with, employed by, or
affiliated with Franchisee (even where the strict liability or negligence, whether sole, joint or concurrent, active or passive, of the Indemnified Parties is actual or alleged). Franchisee shall promptly give written notice to Franchisor of any
action, suit, proceeding, claim, demand, inquiry, or investigation related to the foregoing. 
  
 Franchisor shall have the right, at Franchisee’s expense, to control the defense or response to any such action if it could affect the Indemnified Parties financially, and such undertaking by Franchisor shall
not, in any manner or form, diminish Franchisee’s obligations to Franchisor hereunder. Unless notified in writing by counsel for Franchisee that it has an actual or potential conflict of interest in representing the interests of both Franchisee
and Franchisor, Franchisor shall exercise its rights under the preceding sentence through Franchisee’s counsel. Upon receipt of notice from counsel of such a conflict of interest, Franchisor may exercise its right through counsel of its own
choosing, at Franchisee’s expense. At no time shall Franchisor be precluded from engaging its own counsel, at its expense. 
  

 First Amendment to Franchise Agreement - Page 15 








 Franchisee shall also reimburse Franchisor for all expenses (including legal fees and court costs)
reasonably incurred by Franchisor to protect itself and any of the Indemnified Parties from, or to remedy, Franchisee’s defaults under this Agreement, provided, that under no circumstances shall Franchisor be required or obligated to seek
recovery from third parties or otherwise mitigate its losses in order to maintain a claim under this indemnity and against Franchisee, and the failure of Franchisor to pursue such recovery or mitigate such loss will no way reduce the amounts
recoverable by Franchisor from Franchisee. 
  
 This
indemnification shall survive the expiration, termination, or transfer of this Agreement or any interest herein.” 
  
 21. Representations of Franchisee. Section XXIII. of the Franchise Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following:

  
 “Franchisor has entered into this Agreement in reliance
upon the written statements and written information submitted to Franchisor by Franchisee in connection with this Agreement. Franchisee represents and warrants that all such written statements and written information submitted by Franchisee in
connection with this Agreement are true, correct and complete in all material respects. Franchisee agrees to promptly advise Franchisor of any material changes in the information or statements submitted.” 
  
 22. Entire Agreement. Section XXV.B. of the Franchise Agreement is
hereby deleted in its entirety and is replaced by the following: 
  
 “B. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or rescinded, or any performance requirement waived, except by a written document signed by Franchisor and Franchisee. This provision does not apply to changes in the Manual, which
Franchisor may modify unilaterally as provided in this Agreement. The parties expressly agree that this Agreement may not be amended or modified, or any performance standard changed, by course of dealing, by special indulgences or benefits
Franchisor bestows on Franchisee, or by inference from a party’s conduct.” 
  
 23. Dispute Resolution and Governing Law. Sections XXVII.A., B., and F. of the Franchise Agreement are hereby deleted in their entirety and replaced by the following: 
  
 “A. FRANCHISOR AND FRANCHISEE AGREE TO SUBMIT ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY
OR DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING ALL ATTACHMENTS AND ADDENDA) OR THE RELATIONSHIP CREATED BY THIS AGREEMENT TO NON-BINDING MEDIATION PRIOR TO BRINGING SUCH CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE IN A COURT OR BEFORE ANY
OTHER TRIBUNAL. THE MEDIATION SHALL BE CONDUCTED BY EITHER AN INDIVIDUAL MEDIATOR OR A MEDIATOR APPOINTED BY A MEDIATION SERVICES ORGANIZATION OR BODY, EXPERIENCED IN THE MEDIATION OF HOTEL INDUSTRY DISPUTES, AGREED UPON BY THE PARTIES AND, FAILING
SUCH AGREEMENT WITHIN A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME (NOT TO EXCEED FIFTEEN (15) DAYS), AFTER EITHER PARTY HAS NOTIFIED THE OTHER OF ITS 
  

 First Amendment to Franchise Agreement - Page 16 








 DESIRE TO SEEK MEDIATION BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (OR ANY SUCCESSOR ORGANIZATION) IN
ACCORDANCE WITH ITS RULES GOVERNING MEDIATION, AT FRANCHISOR’S PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS. THE COSTS AND EXPENSES OF MEDIATION, INCLUDING COMPENSATION AND EXPENSES OF THE MEDIATOR (EXCEPT FOR THE ATTORNEY’S FEES INCURRED BY EITHER PARTY),
SHALL BE BORNE BY THE PARTIES EQUALLY. IF THE PARTIES ARE UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER THE MEDIATOR HAS BEEN CHOSEN, THEN, UNLESS SUCH TIME PERIOD IS EXTENDED BY WRITTEN AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES,
EITHER PARTY MAY BRING A LEGAL PROCEEDING UNDER SECTION XXVII.B. BELOW TO RESOLVE SUCH CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, FRANCHISOR MAY BRING AN ACTION (1) FOR MONIES OWED, (2) FOR INJUNCTIVE OR OTHER EXTRAORDINARY
RELIEF, OR (3) INVOLVING THE PLACEMENT OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY LIEN AGAINST THE HOTEL IN A COURT HAVING JURISDICTION AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION XVII.B., BELOW, WITHOUT FIRST SUBMITTING SUCH ACTION TO MEDIATION. 
  
 B. WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSIES OR DISPUTES WHICH ARE NOT
FINALLY RESOLVED THROUGH MEDIATION OR AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED ABOVE, FRANCHISEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS ITSELF TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND TO THE FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT OF NORTH TEXAS—DALLAS DIVISION COURTS LOCATED IN DALLAS COUNTY,
TEXAS AND HEREBY WAIVES ALL QUESTIONS OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION FOR THE PURPOSE OF CARRYING OUT THIS PROVISION. FRANCHISEE HEREBY AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE UPON IT IN ANY PROCEEDING RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
RELATIONSHIP CREATED BY THIS AGREEMENT BY ANY MEANS ALLOWED BY TEXAS OR FEDERAL LAW. FRANCHISEE FURTHER AGREES THAT VENUE FOR ANY PROCEEDING RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, WITH RESPECT
TO ANY ACTION (1) FOR MONIES OWED, (2) FOR INJUNCTIVE OR OTHER EXTRAORDINARY RELIEF OR (3) INVOLVING POSSESSION OR DISPOSITION OF, OR OTHER RELIEF RELATING TO, THE HOTEL PREMISES, FRANCHISOR MAY BRING SUCH ACTION IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL DISTRICT
COURT WHICH HAS JURISDICTION. 
  
 F. FRANCHISOR, FRANCHISEE AND
THE CONTROLLING PRINCIPALS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT VARIOUS PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT SPECIFY CERTAIN MATTERS THAT ARE WITHIN THE DISCRETION OR JUDGMENT OF FRANCHISOR OR ARE OTHERWISE TO BE DETERMINED UNILATERALLY BY FRANCHISOR. IF THE EXERCISE OF
FRANCHISOR’S DISCRETION OR JUDGMENT AS TO ANY SUCH MATTER IS SUBSEQUENTLY CHALLENGED, THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT EXPRESSLY 
  

 First Amendment to Franchise Agreement - Page 17 








 DIRECT THE TRIER OF FACT THAT FRANCHISOR’S RELIANCE ON A BUSINESS REASON THAT DEMONSTRABLY BENEFITS
THE SYSTEM IN THE EXERCISE OF ITS DISCRETION OR JUDGMENT IS TO BE VIEWED AS A REASONABLE AND PROPER EXERCISE OF SUCH DISCRETION OR JUDGMENT, WITHOUT REGARD TO WHETHER OTHER REASONS FOR ITS DECISION MAY EXIST AND WITHOUT REGARD TO WHETHER THE TRIER
OF FACT WOULD INDEPENDENTLY ACCORD THE SAME WEIGHT TO THE BUSINESS REASON.” 
  
 24. Franchisee Acknowledgements. Section XXX.A. of the Franchise Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and is replaced by the following: 
  
 “A. FRANCHISEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT DID NOT RELY ON ANY PROMISES, REPRESENTATIONS OR AGREEMENTS ABOUT THE FRANCHISOR
OR THE FRANCHISE NOT EXPRESSLY CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT IN MAKING ITS DECISION TO SIGN THIS AGREEMENT. FRANCHISEE FURTHER REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT FRANCHISOR AND ITS REPRESENTATIVES HAVE NOT MADE ANY PROMISES, REPRESENTATIONS OR AGREEMENTS,
ORAL OR WRITTEN, ABOUT THE FRANCHISOR OR THE FRANCHISE, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT.” 
  
 25. Guaranty. The following phrase is hereby deleted from the first paragraph of the Guaranty at Attachment B: 
  
 “ . . . warrant to Franchisor and its successors and assigns that all
of Franchisee’s representations in the Franchise Agreement are true . . .” 
  
 26. Management Company Rider. The language in Attachment C is amended to add the following statement to the end of the final paragraph: 
  
 “Notwithstanding the foregoing, Franchisor agrees that Franchisor will first look to the Franchisee and any Guarantor
before seeking recourse against the Management Company.” 
  
 27. Definitions. The defined terms on Attachment D are hereby modified as follows. Except as specifically set forth below, the definitions set forth in Attachment D shall remain unchanged. 
  
 “The ‘Effective Date’ of the Franchise Agreement is the
Effective Date identified in Attachment A to this Agreement. The Effective Date shall be entered on Attachment A to this Agreement.” 
  
 ‘Expiration Date’ is that date which is 10 years following the Effective Date on which this Agreement expires. The Expiration Date shall be
entered on Attachment A to this Agreement. 
  
 ‘Franchisee’ means the entity identified in the preamble to this Agreement. 
  
 ‘Gross Room Revenues’ include all gross revenues attributable to or payable for the rental of guest rooms at the Hotel, including, without
limitation, all credit transactions, whether or not collected, but excluding 
  

 First Amendment to Franchise Agreement - Page 18 








 any sales or room taxes collected by Franchisee for transmittal to the appropriate taxing authority and
any revenue from the sale or rental of ancillary goods and services, such as “guest stop” items, telephone income, high speed internet access (or related technologies) and pay-per-view offerings. Gross Room Revenues also include the
proceeds from any business interruption insurance applicable to loss of revenues due to the nonavailability of guest rooms and for guaranteed no-show revenue which is collected. Gross Room Revenues shall be accounted for in accordance with the
Uniform System of Accounts for the Lodging Industry, Ninth Revised Edition, 1996, as published by the Hotel Association of New York City, Inc.” 
  
 28. Construction. Except to the extent expressly set forth in this Amendment, the terms of the Franchise Agreement control. 
  
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Franchisor and Franchisee have executed this First
Amendment to Franchise Agreement.

 ANTICIPATED RENOVATION CYCLES 
  
 These following charts are to assist in establishing the general time frames that are to be used to determine when and what level of
renovation will be expected for primary areas of the hotel. 
  
 To use these
charts you will need to determine the present condition of the hotel and mark it’s position for each area. For example: If the hotel is less than one year old the charts can be directly used to determine when expected work may occur. If, for
instance, the lobby had the FF&E replaced two years ago a major renovation would be expected within the next five years based on the projected seven-year cycle. 
  
 Subjective judgment will be required for each property to establish the life cycle time for each area since the wear and tear factors for
each area can vary significantly. Establish when the last renovation occurred and the observed condition of the property today. If significant wear and tear exist you will need to forecast an earlier time than indicated on the chart. 
  
 The following charts represent the standard timing for future renovation cycles that will be
used as a basis for maintaining Summerfield Suites®
brand standards. Operational reviews, by Summerfield, during the operation of the hotel may determine earlier cycle times based on actual conditions present at the property.
