Agreement”, and as amended by the First Amendment, dated as of June 9, 2020, the Second Amendment, dated as of August 14, 2020,
the Third Amendment dated as of January 20, 2021, and the Fourth Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”).
The Fourth Amendment extends the existing waiver of the quarterly-tested
financial covenants through March 31, 2022, unless the Company elects to terminate the waiver on an earlier date (the “Covenant
Relief Period”).
Following the end of the Covenant Relief Period, the Fourth Amendment
modifies certain financial covenants until July 1, 2023, unless the Company elects to terminate the period on an earlier date (the “Ratio
Adjustment Period”), as follows:
|
•
|
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio may not be less than 1.00 to 1.00 for the first testing period of the Ratio Adjustment Period, 1.20 to
1.00 for the second testing period of the Ratio Adjustment Period, 1.40 to 1.00 for the third testing period of the Ratio Adjustment Period
and 1.50 to 1.00 thereafter.
|

•
|
Maximum Leverage Ratio is increased from 60% to 65%;
|
|
•
|
Unencumbered Leverage Ratio is increased from 60% to 65%; and
|
|
•
|
Unencumbered Implied Debt Service Coverage Ratio may not be less than 1.00 to 1.00.
|
During the Covenant Relief Period and until the date the Company has
demonstrated compliance with the financial covenants for the fiscal quarter following the end of the Covenant Relief Period, the Fourth
Amendment allows for acquisitions of unencumbered hotels, subject to a $550 million limitation, so long as certain financial conditions
are met.
As of February 4, 2022, $160.0 million of borrowings were outstanding
under the revolving credit facility and $350.0 million of term loans were outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement.
The foregoing description of the Fourth Amendment is qualified in its
