 I. “Gross room revenues” as used herein shall include all gross revenues attributable to or payable for rental of guest rooms, including,
without limitation, all credit transactions, whether or not collected, but excluding any sales or room taxes collected by Franchisee for transmittal to the appropriate taxing authority. Gross room revenues shall also include the proceeds from any
business interruption insurance applicable to loss of revenues due to the non-availability of guest rooms and for guaranteed no-show revenue that is collected. Gross room revenues shall be accounted for in accordance with the Uniform System of

 V. MANAGEMENT. STAFFING AND TRAINING 
 A. Franchisee shall at all times be responsible for oversight of the Franchised Business. The operator of the Hotel, either Franchisee or a third-party management company, shall be subject to the prior approval of Franchisor. Except as may

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. It is understood that Confidential Information (as defined herein) is, in the normal course of business, imparted to System franchisees and managers, and Franchisor will be under no obligation
to approve a proposed management company or replacement management company that is a franchisor or owner, or is affiliated with or manages hotels exclusively for the franchisor or owner, of a hotel trade name that is competitive with Franchisor,
irrespective of the number of hotels operating under such trade name. In the event there is a change in the control of the then current management company for any reason whatsoever, or if there is a material adverse change to the financial status or
operational capacity of the management company. Franchisee shall promptly notify Franchisor of any such change, and such management company shall be subject to reapproval in accordance with the provisions of this Paragraph V.A.I. if (i) in
Franchisor’s sole discretion, a change in control has occurred, or (ii) in Franchisor’s Reasonable Business Judgment (as defined in Paragraph XXVI.I.), there has been a material adverse change to the financial status or operational
capacity of the management company that will affect the management company’s ability to operate the Hotel. If the then-current management company becomes, is acquired by, or merges with or into a Competitor (as defined below at Paragraph XV.D.
of this Agreement), or a Competitor obtains control over such management company. Franchisee shall promptly notify Franchisor of any such change and Franchisor shall have the right to require Franchisee to terminate such management company’s
relationship with the Hotel. 
  

 6 

 2. When Franchisor has approved in principle the management company nominated by Franchisee. Franchisee
shall have the right to negotiate and execute a management agreement with such management company for the management and operation of the Hotel, subject to the terms, conditions, and obligations of this Agreement. Prior to the management agreement
becoming effective and prior to the assumption of any rights thereunder by a management company, the management company and Franchisee must execute a Manager Acknowledgment substantially identical to the form set forth at Attachment C attached
hereto. Franchisor shall have the right to review the management agreement to ensure that it is consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Manager Acknowledgment. 
 B. Franchisee shall, as prescribed in the Manual, employ qualified personnel sufficient to staff all positions at the Hotel. All personnel employed by
Franchisee as a General Manager, a Department Manager, a Sales Manager or a Reservation Manager shall, prior to assuming their duties at the Hotel, attend and successfully (as defined by Franchisor) complete Franchisor’s management training
programs. All subsequent personnel employed by Franchisee in the positions of General Manager. Department Manager and Reservation Manager also must successfully complete Franchisor’s management training program within ninety (90) days
after commencement of such employment. Franchisee must inform Franchisor when a change in such management personnel occurs. Franchisor may periodically make available other required or optional training courses to Franchisee’s personnel, as
well as other programs, conferences, seminars and materials, and Franchisee shall insure that such personnel as Franchisor may direct shall satisfactorily complete any required training within the time specified. Franchisor may conduct opening
training, as determined by Franchisor, for all departments at the Hotel, and Franchisee shall pay such training fees as specified by the Franchisor for such training. Franchisee shall provide complimentary accommodations at the Hotel for
Franchisor’s trainers during the opening training. All training shall be provided at such times and locations and for such duration as Franchisor may designate. Prior to Franchisee or Franchisee’s employees attending any required or
optional training program, Franchisee shall pay to Franchisor the applicable tuition fees as specified in the Manual or otherwise in writing by Franchisor. Franchisee shall also be responsible for Franchisee’s employees’ travel expenses
and room, board and wages during any training. Franchisor reserves the right to require, as a condition of providing training, that personnel employed by Franchisee execute confidentiality agreements prepared by Franchisor. 
 C. Franchisee’s General Manager, Department Managers. Sales Manager and Reservation Manager shall devote their full time to the management and
operation of the Hotel, and such persons shall not be employed in any other capacity by Franchisee or its Affiliates without the express written consent of Franchisor. Franchisee covenants and agrees that the Hotel shall not, under any circumstance,
be managed by a person or persons who have not successfully completed, within ninety (90) days of employment in such capacity, Franchisor’s management training program. 
 D. Franchisee shall cause all employees of Franchisee, while working at the Hotel, to wear uniforms as specified in the Manual: to present a neat and
clean appearance; and render competent and courteous service to guests of the Hotel. 
 E. Neither party will initiate personal contact to
employ any person, without prior written consent of the other party, who is at that time employed by the other party or another System franchisee.

FF&E replacements, remodeling, redecoration and modifications to existing improvements that may become necessary for Franchisee to undertake pursuant to this Section VII., Franchisee agrees as follows:

availability of funding for same.

VII.E.2. may not be sufficient to keep the Reserve at the levels necessary to make the replacements and renewals to the Hotel’s FF&E of the nature described in this Section VII. that are required to maintain the Hotel in accordance with
Franchisor’s System requirements. In the event the available funds in the Reserve are insufficient to properly maintain the Hotel in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, Franchisee will promptly provide the necessary additional

Franchisee and its general partners, controlling shareholders or controlling individuals. Franchisee shall retain leasehold ownership of the Hotel except as may be otherwise approved by Franchisor in writing. Accordingly, neither Franchisee nor any
immediate or remote successor to any part of Franchisee’s interest in this franchise, or any individual, partnership, corporation, or other legal entity that directly or indirectly owns or controls any interest (other than interests of limited
partners) in this franchise or in Franchisee, shall sell, assign (collaterally or otherwise), transfer, convey, mortgage, grant a security interest or otherwise encumber (each, a “Transfer”) any direct or indirect interest in this
franchise (including any ownership interest in Franchisee or any controlling (greater than 15%) interest in any entity that controls Franchisee, but excluding interests of limited partners, if any), and no Transfer of this Agreement, the Franchised
Business, or a substantial portion of the assets (including building and real estate) of the Franchised Business shall occur without the prior written consent of Franchisor. Except as otherwise provided in this Section XV and Section XVI, any
Transfer addressed in the immediately preceding sentence, by operation of law. sale of stock or otherwise, not having the prior written consent of Franchisor will be a material default under this Agreement giving Franchisor the right to terminate
this Agreement pursuant to Paragraph XVII.B.4. and seek injunctive relief as well as monetary damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Franchisor shall have the right to withhold its consent to any Transfer of any
interest in this Agreement, Franchisee or any entity that controls Franchisee if Franchisee is in default hereunder. 
  

 22 

 B. Except as prohibited under Paragraph XX.F., Franchisor shall not require approval of the Transfer of
all or any part of the assets of the Franchised Business (excluding this franchise, this Agreement, and any stock, partnership or other interests in Franchisee) to banks or other lending institutions that are not a Competitor (as defined herein) or
an Affiliate of a Competitor for purposes of any refinancing or as collateral securing a loan made directly to or for the benefit of the Franchised Business. 
 C. Subject to Paragraph XV.D, Franchisor shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to a Transfer of any interest in this franchise. Franchisee, this Agreement, the Franchised Business, or in a substantial portion of
the assets (including building and real estate) of the Franchised Business: provided, however, if a Transfer, alone or together with other previous, simultaneous or proposed Transfers, would result in the Transfer of a controlling interest (as
reasonably determined by Franchisor) in this franchise, Franchisee, the entity that controls Franchisee, this Agreement, or the Franchised Business, or substantially all of the assets (including building and real estate) of the Franchised Business.
Franchisor may, in its sole discretion, require any or all of the following as a condition of its approval: 
 1. Franchisee shall satisfy
all of Franchisee’s accrued monetary obligations to Franchisor, its subsidiaries and Affiliates, and shall execute a general release in a form prescribed by Franchisor of any and all claims against Franchisor, its subsidiaries, Affiliates, and

Franchisor’s cost of processing the application, in the event the application is disapproved). The amount of the transfer fee shall be equal to the amount of the application fee then being charged by Franchisor per room for System franchises
for new development multiplied by the number of rooms in the Hotel or the minimum amount per hotel then being charged by Franchisor for System franchises for new development, whichever amount is greater. In the event that the Transfer involves
multiple hotels, must be completed within a short timeframe, or involves other complications such that Franchisor determines in its Reasonable Business Judgment that it is necessary to obtain outside counsel to complete the Transfer. Franchisor
shall have the right to require Franchisee to pay its outside counsel fees in connection with such Transfer. If, prior to the submission of an application, Franchisee desires Franchisor to review the Hotel to determine the renovations necessary to
bring the Hotel into good repair and to conform the Hotel to Franchisor’s then current standards to transfer. Franchisor may charge its then current Property Improvement Plan (“PIP”) fee (currently, Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000)) to
cover Franchisor’s costs associated with such PIP and consent review under this Paragraph XV.C. If Franchisor enters into a new franchise agreement with the transferee for this Hotel within six (6) months after the PIP and a full transfer
fee has been paid to Franchisor in connection therewith, the PIP fee paid to Franchisor will be refunded or credited against other amounts due from Franchisee to Franchisor at the time of the Transfer. Franchisor also shall have the right to charge
Franchisee its costs to inspect the Hotel to evaluate compliance with Franchisor’s Fire Protection and Life Safety standards at the time of such Transfer. Franchisor reserves the right to reject an application for a Transfer if
(i) Franchisor, in its Reasonable Business Judgment, deems the transferee’s proposed debt service to be too great to permit the 
  

 23 

 
transferee to successfully operate the Hotel under the System or (ii) the proposed transferee or any of its affiliated entities (other than those
holding interests as limited partners only) is a Competitor (as defined in Paragraph XV.D.). In all events, the transferee will be required to certify in writing that (a) Franchisor did not endorse, recommend or concur with the terms of the
Transfer, (b) Franchisor did not comment upon any financial projections submitted by Franchisee to the transferee, or (c) Franchisor did not participate in the decision of the price to be paid, which decision was made without any
intervention, support or participation by Franchisor; 
 4. transferee shall demonstrate to Franchisor, in its sole discretion, that the
transferee and its shareholders or general partners, as appropriate, meet Franchisor’s managerial and business standards and have the aptitude and ability to conduct the Franchised Business (as may be evidenced by prior related business
experience or otherwise): possess good moral character, business reputation and credit rating: and have adequate financial resources and capital to operate the Franchised Business; 
 5. Franchisor and the transferee will, upon approval of transferee’s application, enter into a new franchise agreement for the unexpired term of

issued for new franchised hotels under the System; 
 6. transferee’s General Manager, Department Managers, Sales Manager and
Reservation Manager shall, prior to assuming management of the Hotel, successfully (as defined by Franchisor) complete the management training program then being offered by Franchisor; and 
 7. if transferee is a real estate investment trust or form of publicly-held entity, or if the Hotel will be operated by a third-party management
company, Franchisor may, in its Reasonable Business Judgment, require transferee to establish and maintain a reserve to support the cost of future repairs and replacements of furniture, furnishings and equipment at the Hotel; transferee shall
deposit into such reserve each month throughout the term of the new franchise agreement (or through the then unexpired term of this Agreement) an amount equal to five percent (5%) of gross revenues or such other amount as determined by
Franchisor in its Reasonable Business Judgment. 
 D. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Transfer of the Hotel,
an interest in the Hotel, an interest in Franchisee or an interest in an entity that controls Franchisee shall be made to any person or entity that owns, has an interest in, or is an affiliate, principal or director of a person or entity that owns
or has an interest in a hotel brand, trade name, trademark, system or chain (a “Brand”) that is comprised of at least (i) twenty (20) full-service or (ii) fifty (50) limited-service hotels (a “Competitor”).
For the purposes of defining “Competitor” herein, “full-service” hotels are those hotels that typically offer at least three (3) meals per day and have an average of three thousand (3,000) square feet or more of meeting
space per hotel in the hotel Brand, and “limited-service” hotels are all hotels that are not “full-service” hotels. A person or entity shall not be deemed to be a Competitor if such person or entity has an interest in such a
Brand merely as a franchisee or as a mere passive investor that has no control or influence over the business decisions concerning the Brand at issue, such as limited partners in a partnership or as a non-controlling mere stockholder in a
corporation. If there is a proposed Transfer to a Competitor of the Hotel, Franchisee’s interest in this Agreement. Franchisee or an affiliate of Franchisee, or an interest in either Franchisee or such affiliate, and Franchisee or any such
affiliate (or such Competitor, as the case may be) wishes to accept such offer, Franchisee shall give notice thereof to Franchisor, stating the full name and identity of the prospective purchaser or tenant, as the case may be, including the names
and addresses of the owners of the capital stock, partnership interests or other proprietary interests of such prospective purchaser or tenant, the price or rental and all terms and 

  

 24 

 
conditions of such proposed transaction, together with all other information with respect thereto that is requested by Franchisor and reasonably available to
Franchisee. Within thirty days after receipt by Franchisor of such notice from Franchisee, Franchisor shall elect by notice to Franchisee one of the immediately following four alternatives: 
 1. If the proposed Transfer is a sale or lease of the Hotel for cash consideration, Franchisor (or its designee) shall have the right to purchase or
lease the Hotel premises and related property at the same price or rental and upon the same terms and conditions (other than any terms relating to the Brand of the Hotel) as those set forth in such offer from (or to) a Competitor. In such event,
Franchisee and Franchisor (or its designee) shall promptly enter into an agreement for sale or lease at the price or rental and on terms consistent with such offer. 
 2. If the proposed Transfer is a purchase or lease of all or a portion of the ownership interests or assets (which includes the Hotel) of Franchisee or any Affiliate of Franchisee, or a merger with or into Franchisee
or any such Affiliate, or the acquisition of Franchisee’s interest in this Agreement, or any sale or lease of the Hotel involving non-cash consideration, or other form of Transfer, Franchisor (or its designee) shall have the right to purchase
or lease the Hotel premises and related property at the purchase or lease price pursuant to terms and consistent with such offer (other than the non-cash nature of the consideration and any provision relating to the Brand of the Hotel) as agreed to
by the parties. If the parties are unable to agree as to a purchase or lease price and terms within fifteen (15) days of Franchisor’s election, the purchase or lease price of the Hotel premises and related property shall be determined in
the manner provided below. Within thirty (30) days after the expiration of such fifteen (15) day period. Franchisor and Franchisee shall each obtain, at its own expense, an appraisal of the fair market value of the Hotel from a nationally
recognized appraiser of hotel properties comparable to the Hotel. In determining the fair market value, the appraisers shall be instructed to assume that the Hotel is not subject to a management agreement but is subject to the existing Franchise
Agreement. If, after receiving the appraisals, the parties agree on the fair market value of the Hotel, such agreed fair market value shall constitute the purchase or lease price hereunder. If, after receiving such appraisals, the parties are not
able within ten (10) days to agree on such fair market value, the purchase or lease price shall be determined by “baseball arbitration” in Washington, D.C. in accordance with the Arbitration Rules for the Real Estate Industry of the
American Arbitration Association then in effect (“AAA Rules”) as modified by this Agreement. The parties shall jointly select a third party to act as the sole arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”) to determine the fair market value of
the Hotel, and such Arbitrator shall be a person having at least ten (10) years’ recent professional experience as to the subject matter in question and shall be qualified to act as an Arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules. If the
parties do not agree on an Arbitrator with such qualifications within fifteen (15) days after the expiration of such ten (10) day period referred to above, the Arbitrator shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association in
Washington, D.C. in accordance with the AAA Rules. 
 (i) The Arbitrator shall be instructed and obligated to decide, within thirty
(30) days after appointment, whether the appraisal submitted by Franchisor or the appraisal submitted by Franchisee most accurately reflects the fair market value of the Hotel based upon the appraisals submitted and such information as is
normally relied upon by an appraiser of hotels and real estate. Each party agrees to fully cooperate and provide all information requested by the Arbitrator related to the determination of fair market value hereunder. 
 (ii) The Arbitrator’s choice of appraisal shall be in writing, shall constitute the purchase price hereunder, and shall be final, conclusive and
binding on the parties as an “award” under the AAA Rules, and may be enforced by a court of competent jurisdiction. The expenses of the arbitration shall be borne equally by the parties to the arbitration. Franchisor (or its designee)
shall have the right, at any time within thirty (30) days of being notified in writing of the decision of the Arbitrator as aforesaid, to either (a) purchase the Hotel premises and related property at the valuation fixed by the Arbitrator,
or (b) terminate this Agreement pursuant to Paragraph XV.D.3. 
  

 25 

 3. To terminate this Agreement, in which event Franchisee shall be obligated to pay to Franchisor
liquidated damages pursuant to a termination occurring with Special Circumstances as set forth at Paragraph XVIII.E. 
 4. To consent to
such Transfer, which consent shall be on such terms and conditions as Franchisor may require, in its sole discretion. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth in this Paragraph XV.D. if a Competitor proposes to acquire all of the interests of an Affiliate of Franchisee, and such Affiliate does not, directly or indirectly, own, lease or operate any hotels operating under a trade name
owned by a Marriott Company, then in such event, with respect to such Transfer, Franchisor shall not have any right of first refusal to purchase the Hotel or right to terminate this Agreement as provided above in this Paragraph XV.D. 
 This Paragraph XV.D. shall survive termination of this Agreement for any reason if, prior to such termination, any event specified in Paragraphs XV.D. XV.E. or XV.F.
occurs, as a result of which Franchisor has exercised (or has the right to exercise) the right of first refusal provided herein. In addition, this Paragraph XV.D. shall survive termination of the Agreement in accordance with Paragraph XV.H.

 E. If the Transfer to a Competitor is by foreclosure, judicial or legal process, such as execution and levy, or by any other means,
Franchisor shall have the right to purchase the Hotel upon notice to Franchisee. If the parties are unable to agree as to a purchase price and terms within thirty days of Franchisor’s notice, the fair market value of the Hotel premises and
related property shall be determined by arbitration pursuant to the procedure set forth in Paragraph XV.D.2. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement under Paragraph XVII.A in connection with the Competitor’s actions under
this Paragraph XV.E. 
 F. If Franchisee or any of its Affiliates becomes a Competitor, Franchisee shall so notify Franchisor providing the
data required pursuant to Paragraph XV.D., or if Franchisor otherwise determines that Franchisee or any of its Affiliates has become a Competitor, Franchisor shall so notify Franchisee and assert that Franchisor has the rights set forth above at
Paragraph XV.D. Provided Franchisor has received sufficient pricing and other data to allow an informed decision. Franchisor shall make its election thereunder within thirty days of Franchisor’s receipt of such notice from Franchisee or within
thirty days of Franchisor’s giving notice to Franchisee in which Franchisor asserts that Franchisee or any of its Affiliates has become a Competitor. 
 G. Franchisee acknowledges that Franchisor’s rights under Paragraphs XV.D., XV.E. and XV.F. are real estate rights in the Hotel. Franchisor is entitled to file a record of such interest in and among the
appropriate real estate records of the jurisdiction in which the Hotel is located, and Franchisee shall cooperate as requested by Franchisor in such filing. Franchisee acknowledges and agrees that damages are not an adequate remedy in the event that
Franchisee breaches its obligations under such Paragraphs XV.D., XV.E. or XV.F., and Franchisor shall be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent or remedy such breach, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy and
without the necessity of posting a bond, in addition to such other relief to which it may be entitled in law and equity. Such recording shall indicate that Franchisor’s rights in real estate under Paragraphs XV.D., XV.E. and XV.F. shall be
subordinate only to the interests of bona fide lenders who are not Competitors or Affiliates of Competitors and who record a security interest in the Hotel, provided that any such financing and security interests comply with the requirements
of Paragraph XX.F. If 

  

 26 

 
Franchisee Transfers the Hotel other than to a Competitor or if a controlling portion of the ownership interests of Franchisee or any entity that controls
Franchisee is Transferred to an entity other than a Competitor and this Agreement is terminated, or if for any other reason Franchisor’s rights under Paragraphs XV.D., XV.E. and XV.F. terminate, at the request of Franchisee or the transferee.
Franchisor shall execute and deliver an instrument in recordable form to terminate the record of its interest in and among the appropriate real estate records of the jurisdiction in which the Hotel is located. 
 H. Except for termination of this Agreement pursuant to Paragraph XV.D.3., Franchisee agrees that Franchisor’s rights under Paragraphs XV.D., XV.E.
and XV.F. above shall survive early termination of this Agreement (as opposed to expiration of this Agreement as set forth in Section II) and shall bind Franchisee and its Affiliates, if; 
 1. prior to or within six months after termination of this Agreement, a proposed Transfer to a Competitor occurs with respect to the Hotel, Franchisee
or an Affiliate of Franchisee, or an interest in either Franchisee or such Affiliate, and 
 2. either; 
 a. this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Paragraphs XVII.A., XVII.B.I. or 4., or pursuant to Paragraph XVII.C., or pursuant to Paragraph XVII.D. based
upon Franchisee’s failure to pay any indebtedness to Franchisor or any Marriott Company when due and payable or a violation of Section X.; or 
 b. this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Paragraph XVII.A. below and an Affiliate, principal or director of Franchisee obtains possession of the Hotel, or such Affiliate, principal or director is the party filing
the suit or seeking the execution or foreclosure referenced in Paragraph XVII.A. 
 In addition, Franchisor’s rights under Paragraphs XV.D., XV.E. and
XV.F. shall survive any purported early termination of this Agreement (as opposed to expiration of this Agreement as set forth in Section II) by Franchisee, and shall bind Franchisee and its Affiliates, if prior to or within six months after such
purported termination, a proposed Transfer to a Competitor occurs with respect to the Hotel, Franchisee or an Affiliate of Franchisee, or an interest in either Franchisee or such Affiliate. 
 I. Subject to Paragraph XV.D., in the event of the death or mental incompetency of Franchisee or any shareholder or partner of Franchisee, the interest
of such person may be Transferred in accordance with and subject to the terms of Paragraph XV.C., provided that (i) any such Transfer shall be made within six (6) months of the date of death or mental incompetency and (ii) the
obligations of Franchisee under this Agreement are satisfied pending the Transfer, including adequate provision for management of the Hotel. 
 J. Subject to Paragraph XV.D., provided the Franchisee has executed a guarantee substantially identical to the form of guarantee attached to this Agreement and provides to Franchisor documentation evidencing the Transfer by which the
transferee expressly assumes the obligations of Franchisee under this Agreement, then in such event, the Franchisee will have the right to Transfer, without payment of the transfer fee, this Agreement to an entity controlled by Franchisee.

 K. Subject to Paragraph XV.D., and subject to Franchisee’s giving prior notice to Franchisor, any individual holding an interest in
Franchisee shall have the right to Transfer his/her interest in Franchisee or a portion thereof to a member of the immediate family of such individual or to an entity in which such individual and/or a member of his/her immediate family has and
retains the controlling 

  

 27 

 
interest: provided, however, if the transferor is Transferring a controlling interest in Franchisee, then in such event, Franchisor shall have the right to
require a guarantee, substantially identical to the form of guarantee attached to this Agreement, from any such transferor. 
 L. If
Franchisee is neither a natural person nor a publicly held corporation, the stock of which is traded on a nationally recognized stock exchange (with no individual holding 5% or more of the outstanding stock), Franchisee represents that its equity is
directly and (if applicable) indirectly owned as shown on Attachment A. This Section XV will be applied by looking through or disregarding direct, indirect and intervening ownership interests in Franchisee to the extent deemed appropriate by
Franchisor in order to ascertain the ultimate beneficial ownership and/or control of Franchisee’s equity. Such ultimate or beneficial interests are referred to in this Section XV. as “equity interest.” The transfer, creation or
elimination of an equity interest by operation of law, sale of stock or otherwise, unless specifically authorized herein, will be a material default under this Agreement giving Franchisor the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Paragraph
XVII.B.4. 
 M. Franchisor shall have the right to Transfer this Agreement to any person or legal entity without prior notice to, or consent
of, Franchisee, provided the transferee assumes Franchisor’s obligations to Franchisee under this Agreement. Franchisee hereby acknowledges and agrees that any such Transfer shall constitute a release and novation of Franchisor with respect to
this Agreement. 
 N. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Transfer shall be made to a Specially Designated
National or Blocked Person (as herein defined below) or to an entity in which a Specially Designated National or Blocked Person has an interest. 
 XVI.
SECURITY OFFERINGS 
 A. Publicly-traded securities in Franchisee or in any entity that directly or indirectly controls Franchisee or any
direct or indirect interest in the Hotel previously registered under federal securities law may be Transferred without Franchisor’s consent if (i) the Transfer is exempt from registration under federal and state securities law, and
(ii) the Transfer will not result in a Transfer of control (as reasonably determined by Franchisor) in Franchisee or any entity that directly or indirectly controls Franchisee. Any Transfer of securities in Franchisee or in any entity that
directly or indirectly controls Franchisee or any direct or indirect interest in the Hotel that will result in a Transfer of control requires Franchisor’s prior written consent, which shall be conditioned upon satisfaction of the requirements
of Paragraph XV.C. 
 B. In connection with any proposed public or private offering to potential investors of securities of Franchisee or any
entity that directly or indirectly controls Franchisee or any direct or indirect interest in the Hotel. Franchisee shall: 
 1. submit to
Franchisor for its review at least thirty (30) days before the earliest of the date on which any registration statement, solicitation, prospectus (preliminary or otherwise), private placement memorandum, offering circular, or similar
documentation, including any amendments thereto (collectively, the “Prospectus”) is delivered to a potential investor or filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other governmental authority responsible for the regulation
of the sale of securities, a copy of the proposed Prospectus, all supporting and related materials and releases, together with a nonrefundable fee of $2,000 to reimburse Franchisor for its expense in performing the limited review of the proposed
Prospectus in accordance with this Paragraph XVI: 
 2. fully, unconditionally, and in writing, indemnify and hold harmless Franchisor and
its Affiliates in connection with the Prospectus, and the offering: 
  

 28 

 3. include in the Prospectus and all supporting and related materials and releases a disclaimer, in a
form approved by Franchisor, that Franchisor and its Affiliates are not, in any way, participating in or endorsing the offering or solicitation described therein; 
 4. use any Proprietary Marks in the Prospectus and in any supporting or related materials only as approved by Franchisor in writing; 
 5. provide in the appropriate agreements and other documents related to the offering for establishment of a capital replacement reserve fund escrowing a percentage of gross room revenues, as reasonably determined by
Franchisor, to assure Franchisee’s ability to continue to meet System standards and the periodic upgrade requirements set forth in the Franchise Agreement; and 
 6. refrain from filing, publishing, issuing or releasing the Prospectus or any supporting or related materials without having received the prior written approval of Franchisor. 
 C. If the indemnification provided for in Paragraph XVI.B.2 above shall for any reason be unavailable or insufficient to hold Franchisor and its
affiliates harmless in respect of any claim, then Franchisee shall, in lieu of indemnifying Franchisor and its affiliates, contribute to the amount paid or payable by Franchisor and its affiliates as a result of any such claim, action, loss
liability, cost, and expense of any kind, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, in respect thereof, (i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by Franchisor and its affiliates on the one hand
and Franchisee and its affiliates on the other or (ii) if (but only if) the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred
to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of Franchisor and its affiliates on the one hand and Franchisee and its affiliates on the other with respect to any claim, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. Franchisee and Franchisor agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Paragraph XVI.C were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into
account the equitable considerations referred to herein. Franchisee’s obligations under this Paragraph XVI.C shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement. 
 D. Franchisor’s review of the Prospectus or the information included therein will be conducted solely for the benefit of Franchisor to determine the
accuracy and completeness of any description of Franchisor’s relations with Franchisee and compliance with the other requirements of this section and not to benefit or protect any other person, and its approval shall not constitute any kind of
authorization, acceptance or agreement, endorsement or ratification of the offering or Prospectus, either express or implied. Franchisee agrees to make any and all changes to the Prospectus as Franchisor may request in its Reasonable Business
Judgment in accordance with this Section XVI. 
 XVII. DEFAULT AND TERMINATION

Franchisee ceases to do business at the Hotel or ceases to operate the Hotel under the Proprietary Marks and System, or loses ownership or possession or the right to possession of the Hotel, or otherwise forfeits the right to conduct the Franchised
Business at the Approved Location, except as otherwise provided in Section XIX.; 
 2. if a threat or danger to public health or safety
results from the renovation, upgrading, remodeling, maintenance or operation of the Hotel franchised hereunder, and an immediate shutdown of the Hotel is reasonably determined by Franchisor to be essential to avoid substantial liability or loss of
goodwill; provided, however, Franchisor and Franchisee shall reinstate this Agreement if, within six (6) months after termination under this Paragraph XVII.B.2., the threat or danger to public health or safety is eliminated and Franchisor
reasonably determines that reopening the Hotel would not cause a substantial loss of goodwill: 
 3. if Franchisee or a principal thereof

 4. if Franchisee or any partner or shareholder in Franchisee purports to Transfer any rights or obligations under this Agreement or any interest in

Owner Agreement is otherwise terminated. 
 C. Franchisee shall be deemed to be in material default under this Agreement if Franchisee or any
of its Affiliates becomes a Competitor (as defined at Paragraph XV.D.) or becomes affiliated with a Competitor, and, in such event, Franchisor shall have the rights provided in this Agreement at Paragraph XV.D. 
 D. Franchisee shall be in material default under this Agreement for any failure to comply with any of the requirements imposed by this Agreement, as it

delinquent in payment of any amounts due to Franchisor and its Affiliates, Franchisee shall have ten (10) business days after receipt of a notice of non payment within which to cure such monetary default. If any such default is not cured within
that time, or such longer period as applicable law may require (or such longer period as Franchisor may, in its Reasonable Business Judgment, deem necessary to permit Franchisee to cure any non-monetary default provided Franchisee immediately
commences, diligently and in good faith pursues, and cures, such default), Franchisor shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon notice to Franchisee. 
 XVIII. OBLIGATIONS UPON TERMINATION 
 Upon termination or expiration, this Agreement and all rights granted hereunder to Franchisee
shall forthwith terminate, and Franchisee shall comply with all of the obligations applicable to the Approved Location as set forth in this Section XVIII. 
 A. Franchisee shall immediately cease operation of the Hotel as a System hotel and shall not thereafter, directly or indirectly, represent to the public or hold itself out as a present or former franchisee of
Franchisor. 
 B. Franchisee shall immediately and permanently cease to use, by advertising or in any other manner whatsoever, the names
“Courtyard.” “Courtyard by Marriott,” and “Marriott,” all variations thereof and all other Proprietary Marks of Franchisor, any other identifying characteristics and marks of the System, and all Intellectual Property.
Franchisee shall forthwith remove from its place of business, and discontinue using for any purpose, any and all signs, fixtures, furniture, furnishings. 

  

 31 

 
equipment, advertising materials, stationery, supplies, forms or other articles that display the Proprietary Marks or any distinctive features or designs
associated with the System. Any signs containing the Proprietary Marks that Franchisee is unable to remove within one day of expiration or termination of this Agreement shall be completely covered by Franchisee until the time of their removal, and.
in all events, removal of such signs shall occur within seventy-two hours of termination of this Agreement and the franchise granted hereby. 
 C. Franchisee shall, at its expense, immediately make such modifications or alterations (except structural changes) as may be necessary to distinguish the Hotel so clearly from its former appearance and other hotels operated under the
System as to prevent any possibility of confusion therewith by the public, and to prevent the operation of any business at the location of the Hotel by Franchisee or others in derogation of this Paragraph XVIII.C. (including, without limitation,
removal of all distinctive physical features identifying hotels in the System, removal of all distinctive signs and emblems, and changing of telephone numbers and other directory listings). Franchisee shall, at Franchisee’s expense, make such
specific additional changes as Franchisor may reasonably request for this purpose. Until all modifications and alterations required by this Paragraph XVIII.C. are completed, Franchisee shall (i) maintain a conspicuous sign at the registration
desk in a form specified by Franchisor stating that Franchisee’s Hotel is no longer associated with the Courtyard by Marriott System, and (ii) until Franchisee has changed telephone numbers at the Hotel, advise all customers and
prospective customers telephoning Franchisee’s Hotel that the Hotel is no longer associated with the Courtyard by Marriott System. Franchisee expressly acknowledges that its failure to make such alterations will cause irreparable injury to
Franchisor. 
 D. Franchisee shall take such action as may be necessary to cancel any assumed name or equivalent registration that contains
the names “Courtyard,” “Courtyard by Marriott,” “Marriott” or any variation thereof and any Proprietary Mark of Franchisor, and Franchisee shall furnish Franchisor with evidence satisfactory to Franchisor of compliance
with this obligation within thirty (30) days after termination or expiration of this Agreement. 
 E. Franchisee has agreed to operate
the Hotel as a Courtyard by Marriott hotel in compliance with this Agreement for the full term of this Agreement. If Franchisee should fail to do so. Franchisee acknowledges that Franchisor would be damaged in several ways, including but not limited
to: loss of future franchise fees, loss of marketing fees used to market the System, loss of System representation in the area served by the Hotel, confusion of national accounts and individual customers, disadvantage in competing for national
accounts and other types of bookings for the System, and injury to the good will in the Proprietary Marks. Franchisee further acknowledges that if this Agreement is terminated in connection with (i) the termination of five (5) or more
additional Franchise or License Agreements between Franchisor and Franchisee, or the respective Affiliates of either, within a twelve month period that includes the termination date of this Agreement; or (ii) if the Hotel is Transferred to a
Competitor, or any other event specified in Paragraphs XV.D., XV.E. or XV.F. occurs, as a result of which Franchisor has the right of first refusal provided in Paragraph XV.D., and Franchisor’s right of first refusal under such Paragraph XV.D.
is not effectuated for any reason (the immediately preceding clauses (i) or (ii) are referred to herein individually as “Special Circumstances”), Franchisor will suffer greater damage, at a minimum, with respect to confusion of
national account and individual customer, disadvantage in competing for national accounts and other types of bookings for the System, and injury to the good will in the Proprietary Marks. Franchisee acknowledges that it is difficult to estimate the
revenues of the Hotel over a period of years and that elements of Franchisor’s damages not directly calculated from the Hotel’s revenues are inherently difficult to calculate although such damages are real and meaningful to Franchisor and
the System. Franchisor’s damages in the event of termination would not be easily ascertained, would be difficult to estimate accurately, and the proofs thereof would be burdensome and costly, and Franchisor and Franchisee agree that liquidated
damages (as calculated 

  

 32 

 
below) are not a penalty and represent a reasonable estimate of just and fair compensation of Franchisor of the damages that it would suffer. In the event
this Agreement is terminated, such termination shall not affect the obligations of Franchisee hereunder to take action or abstain from taking action after the termination hereof as required by this Section XVIII. In the event of such termination,
(a) Franchisor shall be entitled to recover from Franchisee, and Franchisee shall be obligated to promptly pay to Franchisor, all payments that have then accrued to Franchisor, its subsidiaries or Affiliates pursuant to other provisions of this
Agreement up to the date of such termination (without limiting Franchisee’s obligations to pay Franchisor any payments that relate to the period prior to the date of such termination, but that are not billed to Franchisee prior to the date of
termination), and (b) if such termination is due to Franchisee’s default hereunder. Franchisee shall promptly pay to Franchisor liquidated damages in an amount equal to (i) the sum of (x) the average of the monthly contribution
to the marketing fund under Paragraph III.D. theretofore payable to Franchisor over the immediately preceding two (2) years, plus (y) the average of the monthly royalty fee under Paragraph III.C. theretofore payable to Franchisor
over the immediately preceding two (2) years, times (ii) the lesser of (x) thirty-six (36) or (y) one-half (1/2) the number of months that remain in the term of this Agreement. If the Hotel has not been operating
as a Courtyard by Marriott for at least two (2) years, the average monthly royalty fee and contribution to the marketing fund for the previous two (2) years for all hotels, on a per room basis, operated in the System in the United States
shall be multiplied by the number of rooms at the Hotel and then such sum shall be multiplied by the lesser of thirty-six (36) or one-half (1/2) the number of months that remain in the term of this Agreement to arrive at the amount of
liquidated damages. If an early termination due to default hereunder by Franchisee occurs with Special Circumstances, Franchisee shall pay to Franchisor an amount equal to 150% of the amount of liquidated damages that would otherwise be payable
hereunder. In addition to such liquidated damages, Franchisor shall have the right to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs incurred in collecting such sums plus interest (calculated pursuant to Paragraph XIII.E.) on all amounts
due pursuant to this Paragraph XVIII.E. from the date of such termination until paid. The legal remedies hereunder shall not preclude Franchisor from any equitable remedies to which it may be entitled under applicable law. Franchisee’s
obligation to pay Franchisor liquidated damages, if applicable, and other sums pursuant to this Paragraph XVIII.E. shall survive termination of this Agreement. 
 F. Franchisee shall promptly pay all sums owing to Franchisor, its subsidiaries and Affiliates. In the event of termination for any default of Franchisee, such sums shall include any payment to Franchisor required
under Paragraph XVIII.E., any costs and expenses incurred in connection with removing the Hotel from the System, and all damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Franchisor in obtaining (i) injunctive
or other relief for the enforcement of any provisions of this Agreement or (ii) contested termination of this Agreement. 
 G.
Franchisee shall immediately turn over to Franchisor all Intellectual Property except for Proprietary Marks, which must be removed as set forth in this Article XVIII above (all of which are acknowledged to be the Franchisor’s Property), and
shall retain no copy or record of any of the foregoing, excepting only Franchisee’s copy of this Agreement and any correspondence between the parties, and any other documents that Franchisee reasonably needs for compliance with any provision of
law. In the event that Franchisor permits Franchisee to continue using any Intellectual Property after the date of termination (such permission to be explicit and specific), such use by Franchisee shall be in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. 
 H. Franchisor shall have the right, but not the duty, to be exercised by notice of intent to do so within thirty (30) days
after termination or expiration, to purchase any and all signs, advertising materials, supplies and inventory and any other item bearing Franchisor’s Proprietary Marks, at Franchisee’s cost. With respect to any purchase by Franchisor as
provided herein. Franchisor shall have the right to set off all amounts due from Franchisee under this Agreement. 
  

 33 

 1. The obligations of Franchisee set forth in this Section XVIII. shall survive termination of this
Agreement. 
 XIX. CONDEMNATION AND CASUALTY 
 A.
Franchisee shall, at the earliest possible time, give Franchisor notice of any proposed taking by eminent domain. If the Hotel is condemned, or such a substantial portion of the Hotel is condemned to render impractical the continued operation of the
Hotel in accordance with the System, this Agreement shall terminate upon notice by Franchisor or Franchisee to the other party, and Franchisor and Franchisee shall share equitably in the condemnation award; provided, however, Franchisor’s
portion shall be limited to compensating Franchisor for Franchisor’s lost royalty income, which amount shall not exceed the amount of liquidated damages due under Section XVIII. If a non-substantial condemnation shall occur, then in such event,
Franchisee shall promptly make whatever repairs and restoration may be necessary to make the Hotel conform substantially to its former condition, character and appearance, according to plans and specifications approved by Franchisor, and the
resumption of normal operation of the Hotel shall not be unreasonably delayed. 
 B. If the Hotel is damaged or destroyed by fire or other
cause and such damage or destruction is substantial and material, affecting over fifty percent (50%) of the Hotel, and necessitates the closing of the Hotel for a period in excess of ninety (90) days, Franchisee shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement if it elects not to repair or rebuild the Hotel upon notice to Franchisor given within ninety (90) days of such closing of the Hotel; provided, however, if subsequent to such notice and prior to the date on which the
term of this Agreement would otherwise have ended pursuant to Section II if such notice of termination had not been given (the “Term Expiration Date”), Franchisee, any of its members if it is a limited liability company or any of its
affiliated companies or any company controlled by a controlling stockholder of Franchisee if Franchisee is a corporation, or any of its general partners or any entity in which Franchisee or any of its general partners (the “Franchisee
Entity”), has a greater than fifteen percent interest in or operates a hotel: vacation, timesharing, interval or fractional ownership facility: condominium; apartment; or other lodging product at the Approved Location (the “Other Lodging
Product”), which Other Lodging Product is not operated pursuant to a license or franchise from one of the Marriott Companies, then in such event, Franchisee shall be obligated to promptly pay to Franchisor an amount equal to the liquidated
damages set forth at Paragraph XVIII.E. and the time element for calculating the amount of liquidated damages shall be the lesser of (a) thirty-six (36) months or (b) one-half (1/2) the number of months then remaining between
(i) the date upon which the Other Lodging Product is first operated by or for the Franchisee Entity and (ii) the Term Expiration Date. Franchisee’s obligation set forth herein shall survive termination of this Agreement pursuant to
this Paragraph XIX.B.. In the event the Hotel does not close for more than ninety (90) days due to a casualty or Franchisee does not elect to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of this Paragraph XIX.B. the Hotel shall be
promptly renovated and reopened within a reasonable time in accordance with the System and pursuant to plans and specifications approved by Franchisor in accordance with Section VII. and the Addendum attached hereto (to the extent Franchisor
determines that such Addendum applies to reinstatement of the Hotel after the casualty). 
 XX. TAXES, COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS, AND INDEBTEDNESS 
 A. Franchisee shall promptly pay when due, all taxes levied or assessed by any federal, state or local tax authority, and any and all other indebtedness
incurred by Franchisee in the conduct of the Franchised Business. Franchisee shall pay to Franchisor an amount equal to any tax, including any sales, gross receipts or similar tax imposed as a result of the operation of the Hotel and calculated
based on payments required hereunder, unless the tax is credited against income tax otherwise payable by Franchisor. 
  

 34 

 B. In the event of any bona fide dispute as to liability for taxes assessed or other indebtedness,
Franchisee may contest the validity of the amount of the tax or indebtedness in accordance with the procedures of the taxing authority or applicable law; however, in no event shall Franchisee permit a tax sale or seizure by levy of execution or
similar writ or warrant, or attachment by creditor, to occur against the premises of the Hotel or any improvement thereon. 
 C. Franchisee
shall comply with all federal, state, and local laws, rules and regulations, and shall timely obtain any and all permits, certificates or licenses necessary for the full and proper conduct of the Franchised Business including, without limitation,
licenses to do business, fictitious name registration and sales tax permits, health and sanitation permits and ratings and fire clearances. 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 that indicate a violation of governmental standards or material non-compliance with any applicable law, rule or regulation, shall be forwarded to Franchisor by Franchisee within five
(5) days of Franchisee’s receipt thereof. 
 D. 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, that may adversely affect the operation or financial condition of the
Franchised Business. 
 E. Franchisee recognizes that Franchisee’s failure or repeated delay in making prompt payment in accordance with
the terms of any agreements, leases, invoices or statements for any purchases or leases will be detrimental to the reputation and credit standing of Franchisee, Franchisor and other System franchisees. Franchisee shall pay when due all such amounts
owed in connection with operating the Hotel. 
 F. Franchisee shall not incur or replace any indebtedness that is secured by a lien on or
mortgage of the Hotel or pledge of the stock, partnership, membership or other ownership interests in Franchisee unless the following conditions are met: (1) the terms of such indebtedness are commercially reasonable, (2) commencing on the
third anniversary of the Opening Date, the debt coverage ratio is equal to or greater than 1.3, and (3) the lender is not a Competitor or an Affiliate of a Competitor. The debt coverage ratio shall be the ratio of (a) cash available for
the payment of the annual debt service payments (interest and principal) based on the cash flow from the Hotel (after deduction for any management fee and reserve required under such management agreement or as a condition to such financing) for the
twelve (12) months immediately preceding the written commitment for such indebtedness, to (b) the amount of such annual debt service payments. 
 XXI. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR AND INDEMNIFICATION

hereto. Franchisee is an independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement is intended to constitute either party an agent, legal representative, subsidiary, joint venturer, partner, employee or servant of the other for any purpose whatsoever.

 B. During the term of the Agreement and any extensions hereof, Franchisee shall hold itself out to the public as an independent contractor
operating the business pursuant to a franchise from Franchisor and as an authorized user of the Proprietary Marks which are owned by Franchisor. Franchisee shall take such affirmative action as may be necessary to do so, including, without
limitation, exhibiting notices of that fact at the Hotel as required under Paragraph X.B.3. 
  

 35 

 C. Nothing in this Agreement authorizes either party to make any contract, agreement, warranty or
representation on the other’s behalf, or to incur any debt or other obligation in the other’s name. 
 D. Franchisor does not
exercise any direction or control over the employment policies or employment decisions of Franchisee. All employees of Franchisee are solely employees of Franchisee, not Franchisor. Franchisee is not Franchisor’s agent for any purpose in regard
to Franchisee’s employees or otherwise. 
 E. Franchisee shall and hereby does indemnify and shall defend and save harmless Franchisor,
its Affiliates, their officers and employees, and their respective successors and assigns, from and against all losses, costs, liabilities, damages, claims and expenses, of every kind and description, including allegations of negligence by
Franchisor, its employees and agents, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or resulting from the renovation, upgrading, operation, alteration, remodeling, repair or use of
the Franchised Business or the Hotel premises or of any other business conducted on or in connection with the Franchised Business by the Franchisee (or any management company operating the Hotel), or because of any act or omission of the Franchisee
or anyone associated with, employed by, or affiliated with Franchisee (or any management company operating the Hotel). Franchisee shall promptly give notice to Franchisor of any action, suit, proceeding, claim, demand, inquiry, or investigation
related to the foregoing. Franchisor shall in any event have the right, through counsel of its choice, at Franchisee’s expense, to control the defense or response to any such action if it could affect the interests of Franchisor, and such
undertaking by Franchisor shall not, in any manner or form, diminish Franchisee’s obligations to Franchisor hereunder. 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 indemnification and against Franchisee, and the failure of Franchisor to pursue such recovery or mitigate a loss will in no way reduce the amounts recoverable by Franchisor from Franchisee. The
obligations of Franchisee under this Paragraph XXI.E. shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement. 
 XXII. APPROVALS AND WAIVERS

 A. Approvals and consents by either party will not be effective unless evidenced by writing signed by such party. Either party’s
consent, wherever required, may be withheld if any default by the other party exists under this Agreement. 
 B. Except as otherwise provided
in any written agreement executed by Franchisor and Franchisee, Franchisor makes no warranties or guarantees upon which Franchisee may rely. Franchisor assumes no liability or obligation to Franchisee by providing any waiver, approval, consent or
suggestion to Franchisee in connection with this Agreement or by reason of any delay or denial of any request therefor. 
 C. No failure of a
party to exercise any power reserved to it by this Agreement, or to insist upon strict compliance by the other party with any obligation or condition hereunder, and no custom or practice of the parties at variance with the terms hereof, shall
constitute a waiver of such party’s right thereafter to demand exact compliance with any of the terms herein. Waiver by a party of any particular default by the other party shall not affect or impair such party’s rights with respect to any
subsequent default of the same, similar, or different nature; nor shall any delay, forbearance, or omission of a party to exercise any power or right arising out of any breach or default by the other party of any of the terms, provisions, or
covenants hereof, affect or impair such party’s right to exercise the same.

warranties of this Paragraph XXIII.B. incorrect. For purposes of this Agreement, “Specially Designated National or Blocked Person” means (i) a person or entity designated by the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign
Assets Control from time to time as a “specially designated national or blocked person” or similar status, (ii) a person or entity described in Section I of U.S. Executive Order 13224, issued on September 23, 2001, or
(iii) a person or entity otherwise identified by government or legal authority as a person with whom Franchisor, or any of the other Marriott Companies or any of their Affiliates, are prohibited from transacting business. As of the Effective
Date, a list of such designations and the text of the Executive Order are published under the internet website address www.ustreas.gov/offices/enforcement/ofac. 
 C. Franchisee represents and warrants that (i) it is a legal entity duly formed, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation, (ii) it and its Affiliates have

provision of law, regulation of any governmental body, or any judgment, writ, injunction, decision, ruling, order, decree or award of any court or governmental authority having jurisdiction over it or any of its Affiliates by which it or any of its
Affiliates may be bound or affected, or (c) any agreement, indenture, contract, commitment, restriction or other instrument to which it or any of its Affiliates is a party or by which it or any of its Affiliates is bound.

franchise granted herein is true, correct and complete as of the time made and as of the date hereof, regardless of whether such was provided by Franchisee,
one of its Affiliates, or by a third party on behalf of Franchisee, unless Franchisee has notified Franchisor of a change in the representations and warranties or the information and Franchisor has approved the change in writing.

 XXV. ENTIRE AGREEMENT 
 This Agreement, including the attachments, exhibits and addenda hereto, and any execution copies thereof, the agreements executed simultaneously herewith
or pursuant to, or in connection with, this Agreement, contain the entire agreement between the parties hereto as it relates to the Approved Location as of the date hereof. This is a fully integrated agreement. No agreement of any kind relating to
the matters covered by this Agreement shall be binding upon either party unless and until the same has been made in a written, non-electronic instrument that has been duly executed by the nonelectronic signature of all interested parties. This
Agreement may not be amended or modified by conduct manifesting assent, or by electronic signature, and each party is hereby put on notice that any individual purporting to amend or modify this Agreement by conduct manifesting assent or by
electronic 

  

 38 

 
signature is not authorized to do so. In entering this Agreement, Franchisee represents and warrants that it did not rely on and Franchisor and
Franchisor’s representatives have not made, any promises, representations or agreements relating to franchising this Approved Location except as expressly contained in this Agreement. 
 XXVI. CONSTRUCTION AND SEVERABIL1TY 
 A. Unless otherwise
specified, the term “Franchisee” as used in this Agreement shall include the entity identified in the preamble to this Agreement. 
 B. Except as expressly provided to the contrary herein, each section, part, term and/or provision of this Agreement, including, but not limited to Section XXI.E., shall be considered severable; and if, for any reason any section, part, term
or provision herein is determined to be invalid, unenforceable or contrary to, or in conflict with, any existing or future law or regulation by a court or agency having valid jurisdiction, such shall not impair the operation of, or have any other
effect upon, such other sections, parts, terms and provisions of this Agreement as may remain otherwise intelligible, and the latter shall continue to be given full force and effect and bind the parties hereto; and said invalid or unenforceable
sections, parts, terms or provisions shall be deemed to be replaced with a provision that is valid and enforceable and most nearly reflects the original intent of the invalid or unenforceable provision. 
 C. Nothing in this Agreement is intended, nor shall be deemed, to confer any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement upon any person or
legal entity other than Franchisor or Franchisee and such of their respective successors and assigns subject to the prior approvals set forth in Section XV. hereof. 
 D. Franchisee and Franchisor expressly agree to be bound by any promise or covenant imposing the maximum duty permitted by law that is subsumed within the terms of any provision hereof, as though it were separately
articulated in and made part of this Agreement, that may result from striking any of the provisions hereof and portion or portions that a court may hold to be unreasonable and unenforceable in a final decision to which Franchisor or Franchisee, as
applicable, is a party, or from reducing the scope of any promise or covenant to the extent required to comply with such a court order. 
 E.
All captions in the Agreement are intended solely for the convenience of the parties, and none shall be deemed to affect the meaning or construction of any provision hereof. 
 F. All references herein to the masculine, neuter or singular shall be construed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter or plural, where applicable,
and all acknowledgments, promises, covenants, agreements and obligations herein made or undertaken by Franchisee shall be deemed jointly and severally undertaken by all the parties hereto on behalf of Franchisee. 
 G. This Agreement may be executed in a number of identical counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original for all purposes and all of which
shall constitute, collectively, one agreement. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 H. When this Agreement provides that Franchisor may take or refrain from taking any action or exercise discretion, such as rights of approval, to modify
the System, or to make determinations. Franchisor may do so from time to time. 
  

 39 

 I. Except where Franchisor has reserved “sole discretion” or as otherwise indicated in this
Agreement. Franchisor agrees to use “Reasonable Business Judgment” when discharging its obligations or exercising its rights or discretion under this Agreement, including with respect to any consents and approvals and the administration of
its relationship with Franchisee. “Reasonable Business Judgment” means that Franchisor’s action or inaction has a business basis that is intended to benefit the System or the profitability of the System, including Franchisor,
regardless of whether some individual hotels may be unfavorably affected; or to increase the value of the Proprietary Marks: or to increase or enhance overall hotel guest or franchisee or owner satisfaction; or to minimize possible brand
inconsistencies or customer confusion. In the event that such obligation or exercise of discretion is unrelated to the System, standards, brand or other subjects described above. Reasonable Business Judgment shall mean that Franchisor has a business
basis and has not acted in bad faith. Franchisee shall have the burden of establishing that Franchisor failed to exercise Reasonable Business Judgment, and neither the fact that Franchisor benefited economically from an action nor the existence of
other “reasonable” alternatives will, by themselves, establish such failure. To the extent that any implied covenant, such as the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, is applied to this Agreement, Franchisor and Franchisee
intend that Franchisor shall not have violated such implied covenant if Franchisor has exercised Reasonable Business Judgment. 
 XXVII. APPLICABLE LAW AND
CURRENCY REQUIREMENT 
 A. This Agreement takes effect upon its acceptance and execution by Franchisor in the State of Maryland, and shall be
interpreted and construed under the laws thereof, which laws shall prevail in the event of any conflict of law. Nothing in this Section XXVII is intended, or shall be deemed, to make the Maryland Franchise Registration and Disclosure Law apply to
this Agreement, or the transactions or relationships contemplated hereby, if such law otherwise would not be applicable. 
 B. No right or
remedy conferred upon or reserved to Franchisor or Franchisee by this Agreement is intended to be, nor shall be deemed, exclusive of any other right or remedy herein or by law or equity provided or permitted, but each shall be cumulative of every
other right or remedy. 
 C. Nothing herein contained shall bar either party’s right to obtain injunctive relief against threatened
conduct that will cause it loss or damages, under the usual equity rules, including the applicable rules for obtaining restraining orders and preliminary injunctions. 
 D. All fees and payments required by this Agreement shall be paid in U.S.A. currency. 
 E. Each party hereby
expressly and irrevocably submits itself to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Maryland, United States of America in any suit, action, or proceeding arising, directly or indirectly, out of or relating to this Agreement; and
so far as is permitted under applicable law, this consent to personal jurisdiction shall be self-operative. 
 XXVIII. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL 
 IN ANY LITIGATION BETWEEN THE PARTIES FOUNDED UPON OR ARISING FROM THIS AGREEMENT, THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL,
AND THE PARTIES HEREBY STIPULATE THAT ANY SUCH TRIAL SHALL OCCUR WITHOUT A JURY. 
  

 40 

 XXIX. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF 
 Franchisor shall be entitled to injunctive or other equitable or other judicial relief without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy, without the necessity of posting a bond, and without
waiving any other rights or remedies at law or in equity, for any actual or threatened material breach or violation of this Agreement or the Manual.

 ATTACHMENT B 
 FORM OF GUARANTY 
 This GUARANTY (“Guaranty”) is executed as of
                    , 2006, by,
                     a
                     organized and existing under the laws of
                     (“Guarantor”), in favor of and for the benefit of Marriott International, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(“Franchisor”). In consideration of and as an inducement to Franchisor to execute the Franchise Agreement dated as of
                    , 2006 (as such agreement may be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified, the “Agreement”), by and
between Franchisor and                      (“Franchisee”), Guarantor hereby agrees as follows: 
 1. Guarantor hereby unconditionally warrants to Franchisor and its successors and assigns that all of Franchisee’s representations and warranties in
(i) any application submitted by Franchisee to Franchisor in connection with the Agreement and (ii) the Agreement are true, accurate and complete as of the time made and as of the date hereof. Further, Guarantor unconditionally guarantees
that all of Franchisee’s obligations under the Agreement will be punctually paid and performed. 
 2. Upon default by Franchisee and
notice from Franchisor. Guarantor will immediately make each payment and perform each obligation required by Franchisee under the Agreement. Franchisor may extend, modify or release any indebtedness or obligation of Franchisee, or settle, adjust or
compromise any claims against Franchisee without notice to Guarantor and any such action shall not affect the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty. Guarantor hereby waives notice of any amendment, supplement, restatement or other
modification of Agreement and notice of demand for payment or performance by Franchisee. Guarantor’s guarantee hereunder shall extend to any extension or renewal of the Agreement. 
 3. Guarantor hereby agrees that the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not be reduced, limited, terminated, discharged, impaired or
otherwise affected by: (i) Franchisee’s failure to pay a fee or provide other consideration to Guarantor in consideration for the issuance of this Guaranty; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a default under the Agreement;
(iii) any assignment of the Agreement; (iv) any modification or amendment of, or waiver or consent or other action taken with respect to, the Agreement or any other agreement or document delivered in connection therewith, including without
limitation any indulgence in or extension of time for the payment of any amounts payable of Franchisee under or in connection with the Agreement or for the performance of any other obligation of Franchisee under the Agreement (any of which
modifications, amendments, waivers or consents may be agreed to or granted without the approval or consent of Guarantor); (v) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, sale or other disposition of all or any portion of Franchisee’s assets,
or the receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceedings affecting Franchisee or its assets or the release or discharge of Franchisee from any of its obligations under the Agreement; or (vi) any change of
circumstances, whether or not foreseeable, and whether or not any such change does or might vary the risk of Guarantor hereunder. No failure of Franchisor to exercise any power or right hereunder, or to insist upon compliance by Guarantor with any
term hereof shall constitute a waiver of Franchisor’s right thereafter to demand full compliance with any term herein. 
 4. This
Guaranty constitutes a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, and Guarantor specifically waives any obligation of Franchisor to proceed against Franchisee on any money or property held by Franchisee or by any other person or
entity as collateral security, by way of set-off or otherwise or against any other guarantor. Guarantor further agrees that this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated as the case may be, if at any time payment of any of the
guaranteed obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by Franchisor upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Franchisee or Guarantor, all as though such payment has not been made. 
  

 45 

 5. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, all notices, requests, demands, statements and other
communications required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered by nationally recognized overnight courier service to Franchisor at the address set forth in the Agreement and to Guarantor at the address set
forth below or for either at such other address as may be designated by Guarantor or by Franchisor, and such communication shall be effective three days after the day sent. This Guaranty may be amended only by a written instrument signed by a duly
authorized representative of each of Guarantor and Franchisor. 
 6. Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives notice of
acceptance of this Guaranty, presentment, demand, diligence, protest and notice of dishonor or of any other kind to which Guarantor otherwise might be entitled under applicable law. 
 7. Guarantor agrees to pay Franchisor all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, incurred by Franchisor, its subsidiaries,
affiliates, or any of their respective successors and assigns, to remedy any defaults of or enforce any rights under this Guaranty or the Agreement, effect termination of this Guaranty or the Agreement, or to collect any amounts due under this
Guaranty or the Agreement. 
 8. If more than one person or entity has executed this Guaranty as a Guarantor hereunder, the liability of each
such Guarantor shall be joint, several and primary. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Guaranty by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually signed Guaranty. 
 9. Upon the death of any individual Guarantor, the estate of such Guarantor will be bound by this Guaranty but only for defaults and obligations
hereunder existing at the time of death, and the obligations of any other Guarantors will continue in full force and effect. 
 10. Guarantor
represents and warrants to Franchisor that neither Guarantor (including, without limitation, any and all of its directors and officers), nor any of its affiliates or the funding sources for either is a Specially Designated National or Blocked Person
(as defined in the Agreement). Neither Guarantor nor any affiliate of Guarantor is directly or indirectly owned or controlled by the government of any country that is subject to an embargo by the United States government. Neither Guarantor nor any
affiliate of Guarantor is acting on behalf of a government of any country that is subject to such an embargo. Guarantor agrees that it will notify Franchisor in writing immediately upon the occurrence of any event which would render the foregoing
representations and warranties of this Section 10 incorrect. 
 11. This Guaranty is executed pursuant to, and shall be construed under
and governed by, the laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. Guarantor hereby submits itself to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Maryland, United States of America, in any suit,
action, or proceeding arising, directly or indirectly, out of or relating to this Guaranty; and so far as is permitted under applicable law, this consent to personal jurisdiction shall be self-operative. 
 12. IN ANY LITIGATION BETWEEN FRANCHISOR AND GUARANTOR FOUNDED UPON OR ARISING FROM THIS GUARANTY OR THE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT, GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ITS
RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, AND GUARANTOR HEREBY STIPULATES THAT ANY SUCH TRIAL SHALL OCCUR WITHOUT A JURY. 
  

 46 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Guaranty, under seal, as of the date first above
written.

 4.
Transfers Not Involving Competitors. 
 Section XV of the Franchise Agreement shall apply hereunder to any Transfer of the Hotel, any
ownership interest in the Hotel, this Agreement or the Operating Agreement, or of a direct or indirect ownership interest in Owner (including any controlling (greater than 15%) interest in any entity that controls Owner, but excluding interests of
limited partners, if any) as if Owner were a party thereto; any such Transfer(s) by Owner as described above shall be made only in strict compliance with said Section XV as the context requires. 
  

 53 

 5. Transfers Involving a Competitor and Right of First Refusal. 
 A. No Transfers to a Competitor. If there is a proposed Transfer to a Competitor of the Hotel, any ownership interest in the Hotel, Owner’s
ownership interest in this Agreement or in the Operating Agreement, or an ownership interest in either Owner or an affiliate of Owner, and Owner or such affiliate of Owner (or such Competitor, as the case may be) wishes to accept such proposed
Transfer, Owner shall give written notice thereof to Franchisor, stating the name and full identity of the prospective purchaser or tenant, as the case may be, including the names and addresses of the owners or holders of any ownership interest of
such prospective purchaser or tenant, the price or rental and all terms and conditions of such proposed transaction, together with all other information with respect thereto that is requested by Franchisor and reasonably available to Owner. Within
thirty (30) days after receipt by Franchisor of such notice from Owner, Franchisor shall elect by notice to Owner one of the immediately following four alternatives: 
 (1) Acquisition of Control of Hotel for Cash. If the proposed Transfer is a sale or lease of the Hotel for cash consideration, Franchisor (or its designee) shall have the right to purchase or lease the Hotel at
the same price or rental and upon the same terms and conditions (other than any terms relating to the Brand of the Hotel) as those set forth in such offer from (or to) a Competitor. In such event, Owner and Franchisor (or its designee) shall
promptly enter into an agreement for sale or lease at the price or rental and on terms consistent with such offer. 
 (2) Acquisition of
Owner/Acquisition of Control of Hotel. If the proposed Transfer is a purchase or lease of all or a portion of the ownership interests or the assets (which includes the Hotel) of Owner or an affiliate of Owner, or a merger with or into Owner or
an affiliate of Owner, or the acquisition of Owner’s ownership interest in this Agreement or in the Operating Agreement, or any sale or lease of the Hotel involving non-cash consideration, or other form of Transfer. Franchisor (or its designee)
shall have the right to purchase or lease the Hotel at the purchase or lease price pursuant to terms consistent with such offer (other than the non-cash nature of the consideration and any provision relating to the Brand of the Hotel) as agreed to
by the parties. If the parties are unable to agree as to purchase or lease price and terms within fifteen (15) days of Franchisor’s election, the purchase or lease price of the Hotel shall be determined as follows. Franchisor and Owner
each shall, at its own expense and within thirty (30) days thereafter, obtain an appraisal of the fair market value of the Hotel from a nationally recognized appraiser of Hotel properties comparable to such Hotel. In determining the fair market
value, the appraisers shall be instructed to assume that the Hotel is not subject to a management agreement but is subject to the existing Franchise Agreement. If, after receiving the appraisals, the parties agree on the fair market value of the
Hotel, such agreed fair market value shall constitute the purchase or lease price hereunder. If, after receiving such appraisals, the parties are not able within ten (10) days to agree on such fair market value, the purchase or lease price
shall be determined by “baseball arbitration” in Washington, D.C. in accordance with the Arbitration Rules for the Real Estate Industry of the American Arbitration Association then in effect (“AAA Rules”) as modified by this
Agreement. The parties shall jointly select a third party to act as the sole arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”) to determine the fair market value of the Hotel, and such Arbitrator shall be a person having at least ten (10) years’
recent professional experience as to the subject matter in question and shall be qualified to act as an Arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules. If the parties do not agree on an Arbitrator with such qualifications within fifteen (15) days
after the expiration of such ten (10) day period referred to above, the Arbitrator shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association in Washington, D.C. in accordance with the AAA Rules. 
  

 54 

 (i) The Arbitrator shall be instructed and obligated to decide, within thirty (30) days after
appointment, whether the appraisal submitted by Franchisor or the appraisal submitted by Owner most accurately reflects the fair market value of the Hotel based upon the appraisals submitted and such information as is normally relied upon by an
appraiser of hotels and real estate. Each party agrees to fully cooperate and provide all information requested by the Arbitrator related to the Arbitrator’s determination of fair market value hereunder. 
 (ii) The Arbitrator’s choice of appraisal shall be in writing, shall constitute the purchase price hereunder. and shall be final, conclusive and
binding on the parties as an “award” under the AAA Rules and may be enforced by a court of competent jurisdiction. The expenses of the arbitration shall be borne equally by the parties to the arbitration. Franchisor (or its designee) shall
have the right, at any time within thirty (30) days of being notified in writing of the decision of the Arbitrator, to either (a) purchase the Hotel premises and related property at the valuation determined by the Arbitrator, or
(b) terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause (3) below. 
 (3) Termination of Franchise Agreement. To terminate the
Franchise Agreement, in which event Owner and Franchisee shall be obligated, jointly and severally, to pay Franchisor liquidated damages pursuant to a termination occurring with Special Circumstances as set forth at Section XVIII.E of the Franchise
Agreement. 
 (4) Consent. To consent to such Transfer, which consent shall be on such terms and conditions as Franchisor may
require, in its sole discretion. 
 This Section 5.A shall survive termination of this Agreement if, prior to such termination, any event specified in
Section 5 occurs, as a result of which Franchisor has exercised (or has the right to exercise) the right of first refusal provided herein. 
 B. Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 5.A, if a Competitor proposes to acquire all of the ownership interests of an affiliate of Owner and the affiliate does not directly or indirectly own,
lease or operate any hotels operating under a trade name or trademark owned by Franchisor or any of its affiliates, then in such event, with respect to such Transfer, Franchisor shall not have any right of first refusal to purchase the Hotel or
right to terminate this Agreement as provided above in Section 5.A. 
 C. Foreclosure. If the Transfer to a Competitor is by
foreclosure, judicial or legal process, such as execution and levy, or by any other means, Franchisor (or its designee) shall have the right to purchase the Hotel upon written notice to Owner. If the parties are unable to agree as to a purchase
price and terms within thirty (30) days of Franchisor’s notice, the fair market value of the Hotel premises and related property shall be determined by arbitration pursuant to the procedure set forth in Section 5.A(2) above. This
provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the termination of the Franchise Agreement under Paragraph XVI1.A thereof in connection with the Competitor’s actions under Paragraph XV.E. of the Franchise Agreement or this
Section 5.C. 
 D. Owner Becomes a Competitor. If Owner or any of its affiliates becomes a Competitor, Owner shall so notify
Franchisor providing the data required pursuant to Section 5.A. or if Franchisor otherwise determines that Owner or any of its affiliates has become a Competitor, Franchisor shall so notify Owner and assert that Franchisor has the rights set
forth above at Section 5.A. Provided Franchisor has received sufficient pricing and other data to allow an informed decision. Franchisor shall make its election thereunder within thirty (30) days of Franchisor’s receipt of such notice
from Owner or within thirty days of Franchisor’s giving notice to Owner in which Franchisor asserts that Owner or any of its affiliates has become a Competitor. 
  

 55 

 E. Right of First Refusal. In addition to the events specified in Section 5.A, Franchisor
shall have the rights set forth at Section 5.A. if any event occurs granting Franchisor a right of first refusal under Section XV of the Franchise Agreement. 
 F. Real Estate Rights. Owner acknowledges that Franchisor’s rights under this Section 5 are real estate rights in the Hotel. Franchisor is entitled to file a record of such interest in and among the
appropriate real estate records of the jurisdiction in which the Hotel is located, and Owner shall cooperate as requested by Franchisor in such filing. Such recording shall indicate that Franchisor’s rights in real estate under Section 5
of this Agreement shall be subordinate to the interests of bona fide lenders who are not Competitors or affiliates of Competitors and who record a security interest in the Hotel, provided that any such financing and security interests comply with
the requirements of Section 7 hereof. Owner acknowledges and agrees that damages are not an adequate remedy in the event that Owner breaches its obligations under this Section 5, and Franchisor shall be entitled to injunctive relief to
prevent or remedy such breach. 
 G. Survival of Right of First Refusal. Except for termination of this Agreement pursuant to
Section 5.A.(3) above, Owner agrees that Franchisor’s rights under Section 5 shall survive early termination of this Agreement (as opposed to expiration of this Agreement as set forth in Section 12 hereof) and shall bind Owner,
and its affiliates, if: 
 (i) prior to or within six (6) months after termination of this Agreement, a Competitor offers (or receives
an offer from Owner or an affiliate of Owner) to purchase or lease the Hotel or to purchase an ownership interest in Owner or an affiliate of Owner, or merge with or into either Owner or such affiliate; and 
 (ii) A. the Franchise Agreement is terminated pursuant to Paragraphs XVII.A. XVII.B.I. or 4. thereof, or pursuant to Paragraph XVII.C. thereof or
pursuant to Paragraph XVII.D. thereof based upon a violation of Section X.B thereof; or 
 B. the Franchise Agreement is terminated pursuant
to Paragraph XVII.A. thereof and an affiliate, principal or director of Owner obtains possession of the Hotel, or such affiliate, principal or director is the party filing the suit or seeking the execution or foreclosure referenced in Paragraph
XVII.A. of the Franchise Agreement. 
 In addition. Franchisor’s rights under Section 5 shall survive any purported early
termination of this Agreement (as opposed to expiration of this Agreement as set forth in Section 12 hereof) by Owner, and shall bind Owner and its affiliates, if prior to or within six (6) months after such purported termination, a
Competitor offers (or receives an offer from Owner or an affiliate of Owner) to purchase or lease the Hotel, or to purchase an ownership interest in Owner or an affiliate of Owner, or merge with or into either Owner or such affiliate. 
 6. [Intentionally Omitted] 
  

	7.	Financing of the Hotel. 

 Owner shall not incur or
replace any indebtedness that is secured by a lien on or mortgage of the Hotel or pledge of the stock, partnership, membership or other ownership interests in Owner or Franchisee unless the following conditions are met: (1) the terms of such
indebtedness are commercially reasonable, (2) commencing on the third anniversary of the Opening Date, the debt coverage ratio is equal to or greater than 1.3, and (3) the lender is not a Competitor or an affiliate of a Competitor. The
debt 

  

 56 

 
coverage ratio shall be the ratio of (a) cash available for the payment of the annual debt service payments (interest and principal) based on the cash
flow from the Hotel (after deduction for any management fee and reserve required under such management agreement or as a condition to such financing) for the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the written commitment for such indebtedness,
to (b) the amount of such annual debt service payments. 
 8. Operation of the Hotel. 
 The Hotel shall be operated as a [                ] Hotel for the term
hereof, and Owner shall cause Franchisee to operate the Hotel in accordance with the terms of the Franchise Agreement. Failure of the Owner to cause the Hotel to be so operated shall be a material default by Owner hereunder giving Franchisor the
right to terminate this Agreement and the Franchise Agreement. 
 9. Owner’s Obligations under the Franchise Agreement. 
 A. Franchisee Default. If Franchisor declares Franchisee to be in default under the Franchise Agreement, Franchisor may enforce the Franchise

 If the Hotel is damaged or destroyed by fire or other cause and such damage or destruction is substantial and material, affecting over fifty percent
(50%) of the Hotel, and necessitates the closing of the Hotel for a period in excess of ninety (90) days, Owner shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and to cause the Franchise Agreement to be terminated if it elects not to
rebuild the Hotel upon written notice to Franchisor given within ninety (90) days of such closing of the Hotel; provided, however, if subsequent to such notice and prior to the date on which the term of the Franchise Agreement would otherwise
have ended pursuant to Section II of the Franchise Agreement if such notice of termination had not been given (“Term Expiration Date”), Owner or Franchisee, or any affiliated companies or any company controlled by a controlling stockholder
of Owner or Franchisee if Owner or Franchisee is a corporation, or any of their respective general partners, or any entity in which Owner or Franchisee or any of their respective general partners (the “Owner Entity” or

such a substantial portion of the Hotel is condemned to render impractical the continued operation of the Hotel in accordance with the System, this Agreement and the Franchise Agreement shall terminate upon notice by Franchisor to Owner and 

  

 58 

 
Franchisee, and Franchisor shall share in the condemnation award to the extent such award includes an allocation for its lost royalty income. If a
non-substantial condemnation shall occur, then in such event Owner shall promptly make whatever repairs and restoration may be necessary to make the Hotel conform substantially to its former condition, character, and appearance, according to plans
