TRS hereby consents to such assignment and assumption. |
| 2. | Each of Assignee and TRS agrees that the Management Agreement is hereby further amended as follows: |
| a. | All references to “Management Company” shall hereafter be deemed to refer to Assignee. |
| b. | The definition of “Affiliate” is amended to delete subsection (i). |
| c. | Section 5.01 is amended by adding the following at the end of the paragraph: |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, effective as of the first day of the forty-ninth (49th) month following the defined “Effective Date” of that certain Assignment and Amendment of Management Agreement (the “Assignment”), dated March 31, 2017 (the “Effective Date” as defined in the Assignment, the “Assignment Date”, and such first day of the forty-ninth (49th) month thereafter, the “Sale Termination Right Effective Date”), TRS shall have the right to Terminate this Agreement with respect to any individual Hotel effective immediately upon a sale of such Hotel (whether alone or as part of a portfolio transaction, and whether by way of merger, consolidation, or otherwise) so long as, at or prior to the time of such Termination, either (at TRS’s election) (x) TRS pays, or causes to be paid, to Management Company an amount in cash equal to (i) the Management Fees earned, due, and payable with respect to such Hotel in the trailing twelve (12) full months (after normalizing such Management Fees to account for any rooms which may have been vacant during such period as a result of PIP work or other construction, repair, or improvement work performed at such Hotel), multiplied by (ii) two and one-half (2.5), or (y) if the sale of the Hotel in question is occurring during the period prior to the six (6)-year anniversary of the Assignment Date, TRS effects a Property Replacement in accordance with the immediately following paragraph.
In addition, if TRS conducts a sale of any Hotel (whether alone or as a part of a portfolio transaction, and whether by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise) after the Assignment Date but prior to the date that is six (6) years following the Assignment Date, TRS shall have the right to Terminate this Agreement with respect to such Hotel if TRS concurrently adds to this Agreement as a “Hotel” a hotel (“Replacement Hotel”) that (A) was owned by an Affiliate of TRS as of the Assignment Date, and continues to be owned by an Affiliate of TRS as of the date of the sale of the Hotel in question (the “Sale Date”); (B) is, at the time of the Sale Date, subject to a management agreement that (I) has a term of one year or less, and/or (II) includes a right to terminate without cause upon notice of one year or less; and (C) has, as of the Sale Date, the same or greater historical annual revenue, over the year preceding the Sale Date, as the Hotel that is being Terminated (such addition of a Replacement Hotel in accordance with this paragraph, a “Property Replacement”).
For the avoidance of doubt, any sale of a Hotel that results in a Termination of this Agreement with respect to such Hotel and also complies with terms and conditions set forth in this Section 5.01 shall not be subject to the requirements of Section 20.01 of this Agreement.
| d. | Section 6.01.A. is amended to replace the entire current provision with the following: |
In consideration of the services to be performed during the Term of this Agreement by Management Company, Management Company shall be paid a periodic base management fee (“Base Management Fee”) in the amount of three percent (3%) of Gross Revenues for each Accounting Period. Each such periodic fee shall be paid to Management Company (or retained by Management Company as provided below) at such time as the final monthly report for such Accounting Period is submitted to TRS as provided in Section 6.02 A below.
| e. | Section 19.01.A. is amended by replacing the period at the end of subsection (iii) with a semicolon, and by adding the following language as a new paragraph after subsection (iii): |

Notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 20.01 of this Agreement shall not apply in the event that any sale of a Hotel that results in a Termination of this Agreement with respect to such Hotel otherwise complies with terms and conditions set forth in Section 5.01.
