EXHIBIT A
Criteria for the Section 16 Officer Short Term Incentive Plan
Performance Period commencing on January 1, 2020 and ending on December 31, 2020

Calculation Method
For the Performance Period, the Performance Metrics include both corporate goals and strategic goals.  Cash Bonus Amounts earned will be based on the percentage attainment of each Performance Metric. 

Performance Metrics
The Performance Metrics and weighting are as follows:
	
		
	Performance Metric
	Weighting

	Corporate Performance
	50%

	Strategic Goals
	50%

Corporate Performance Metric
	
				
	Corporate Performance Metric
	Threshold
	Target
	Maximum

	Adjusted EBITDAre
	[●]
	[●]
	[●]

For purposes hereof, “Adjusted EBITDAre” means EBITDAre as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts and adjusted for (A) restructuring and separation transaction expenses, including severance; (B) acquisition and disposition transaction expenses; (C) stock-based compensation expense; (D) discontinued operations; and (E) other items not indicative of ongoing operating performance; including, but not limited to, coronavirus (COVID-19) and asset sales.  The Administrator, in its good faith discretion, may make such adjustments to the applicable “Threshold,” “Target,” or “Maximum” goals to reflect other adjustments as the Administrator deems necessary and appropriate, including, without limitation, to reflect unforeseen circumstances (e.g., hurricanes, weather events and other uncontrollable occurrences) that may occur during the Performance Period.
To the extent that the Company’s performance with respect to the Performance Metric falls between two levels set forth on the table above, for performance between “Threshold” and “Target” and for performance between “Target” and “Maximum,” the payout will be interpolated on a straight-line basis.  

Strategic Goals
	
				
	Strategic Goals

	Maximum

	Asset Sales
	[●]
	[●]
	[●]

For purposes of determining whether any of the “Threshold,” “Target,” or “Maximum” goals above have been met, the Company shall include an Asset Sale solely to the extent that such Asset Sale transaction is consummated prior to the end of the Performance Period.  For the list of applicable Assets (non-core hotels), see Exhibit A-I.
The Administrator, in its good faith discretion, may make such adjustments to the applicable “Threshold,” “Target,” or “Maximum” goals to reflect other adjustments as the Administrator deems necessary and appropriate, including, without limitation, to reflect unforeseen circumstances (e.g., hurricanes, weather events and other uncontrollable occurrences) that may occur during the Performance Period, including, but not limited to, coronavirus (COVID-19).
Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator in its discretion, (i) in order to receive any portion of the payout related to (A) Adjusted EBITDAre or (B) Strategic Goals, the Company must achieve the stated goals and (ii) in the event that the Company’s performance does not meet the “Threshold” requirements noted above, no Cash Bonus Amount shall be earned for such Performance Metric.  If the Company’s performance for the Performance Period exceeds the “Maximum” for a Performance Metric, such Performance Metric shall be capped at the “Maximum” amount.  In the event that the measurement period is less than the complete year, the Administrator will use a forecast as of the last date of the measurement period to determine the earned Corporate Performance Metric.  
The Administrator, in its good faith discretion, may make such adjustments to Performance Metrics or Cash Bonus Amounts to reflect other adjustments as the Administrator deems necessary and appropriate, including, without limitation, to reflect unforeseen circumstances (e.g., hurricanes, weather events and other uncontrollable occurrences) that may occur during the Performance Period, including, but not limited to, coronavirus (COVID-19).
Bonus Calculation Percentage
The following table shows the Bonus Calculation Percentage at the various Section 16 Officer positions.  Each bonus opportunity performance metric above has a specified level of necessary achievement (i.e., Threshold, Target and Maximum) which will determine the actual Bonus Calculation Percentage, and in turn, amounts, if any, earned under the Plan.  The Cash Bonus Amount actually earned will be in the sole and exclusive discretion of the Administrator based on the application of the stated goals.
