Common use of Changes to Standards Clause in Contracts

Changes to Standards. We may, from time to time, change, add to, substitute or remove certain Standards; provided, however, any amendment of the Standards will include a vetting process, such as consultation with advisory committees and governors. Further, the following Standards may only be amended by vote of System Hotels: building exterior, public area and guest room design Standards, brand logo and signage Standards, and breakfast Standards. With regard to any such System Hotel vote, an affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast shall result in passage of the matter proposed, provided at least 33 1/3% of all System Hotels vote in favor of the proposal. Notwithstanding the right of System Hotels to vote to amend these Standards, the Board may amend any such Standard without a System Hotel vote if: (i) at least two (2) brands in the applicable competitive set have either announced or implemented the Standard; or (ii) the cost is less than or equal to $150 dollars per year per room and does not require the hiring of a “trade person” for implementation of the Standard.
