III. Pooling of Subject Hotels

A. Determination of Fees. During the Initial Term or any Extension Term of the Pooled Agreements, for purposes of determining the Incentive Management Fee (“Incentive Fees”) payable to IH for each interim and final period for which such Incentive Fees are calculated under the Pooled Agreements, the following shall apply:

1. Available Cash Flow shall be aggregated for all Pooled Hotels, and the formulae for determining the Incentive Fees shall be applied to the amounts so aggregated;

2. To the extent the Incentive Fees calculated pursuant to Section III.A.1. are less than the aggregate total of the Incentive Fees as calculated separately for each Pooled Hotel under the individual Management Agreement, then the Incentive Fees payable separately by each Pooled Hotel under the applicable Pooled Agreements shall be reduced proportionately (according to the amount of the positive Incentive Fees payable without reference to this Section III.A.); and

3. Rent Shortfalls; Payment of Incentive Fees.

a. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Base Rent Shortfall” with respect to a Fiscal Year shall (i) occur only in the event that aggregate Rent paid with respect to such Fiscal Year during the Term for all Pooled Hotels is less than aggregate Base Rent (as defined in the Percentage Leases) due for all Pooled Hotels with respect to such Fiscal Year, (ii) in the event of such occurrence, be equal to the difference between (1) aggregate Base Rent due with respect to such Fiscal Year during the Term for all Pooled Hotels and (2) aggregate Rent actually paid by the TRS Entities for all Pooled Hotels with respect to such Fiscal Year and (iii) be added to the aggregate Lessee’s Priority then in existence.

b. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Percentage Rent Shortfall” with respect to a Fiscal Year shall (i) occur only in the event that aggregate Rent paid for all Pooled Hotels with respect to such Fiscal Year during the ten (10) year period commencing on the date hereof is greater than aggregate Base Rent due for all Pooled Hotels with respect to such Fiscal Year, but is less than the aggregate total Rent due for all Pooled Hotels with respect to such Fiscal Year, (ii) in the event of such occurrence, be equal to the difference between (1) aggregate Rent due with respect to such Fiscal Year for all Pooled Hotels and (2) aggregate Rent actually paid by the TRS Entities for all Pooled Hotels with respect to such Fiscal Year and (iii) be added to the aggregate Lessee’s Priority then in existence.

c. Any amounts borrowed, contributed or paid by the REIT or one of its Affiliates, and any interest thereon, to remedy, or prevent the occurrence of, either a Base Rent Shortfall or a Percentage Rent Shortfall shall be added to the aggregate Lessee’s Priority then in existence.

d. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall any Incentive Fees be paid to IH under the Pooled Agreements unless and until aggregate Lessee’s Priority, including any Base Rent Shortfall and any Percentage Rent Shortfall, for all the Pooled Hotels is paid.

B. Additional Management Contracts. IH agrees and acknowledges that (i) the REIT or one of its Affiliates have or may from time to time acquire ownership or leasehold interests in additional hotels other than the Pooled Hotels as of the date hereof (each, an “Additional Hotel”), (ii) the REIT or one of its Affiliates may offer (or has offered since August 4, 2003) to IH to enter into a management contract for the Additional Hotel (an

2

“Additional Management Contract”), on such terms as the REIT or one of its Affiliates shall determine in its sole discretion, by a written notice setting forth the material terms of such Additional Management Contract (an “Offer Notice”), whereupon IH shall have thirty (30) days following the date of the Offer Notice to accept such offer, and (iii) the REIT and any of its Affiliates is not, and shall not be, under any obligation to so acquire interests in Additional Hotels or to offer to enter into Additional Management Contracts with IH. For each Additional Management Contract entered into with IH, the “Additional Contract Value” shall equal the Fair Market Value thereof as determined in accordance with Section 4.01.F of the Pooled Agreements. For each Additional Management Contract offered to IH by the REIT or one of its Affiliates and not accepted by IH within thirty (30) days of the Offer Notice, the “Additional Contract Value” shall equal the Fair Market Value thereof as determined in accordance with Section 4.01.F of the Pooled Agreements; provided, however, an Additional Management Contract not so accepted by IH within such thirty (30) day period but later entered into by IH and the REIT or one of its Affiliates on further negotiated terms and conditions shall be treated only as an Additional Management Contract entered into with IH. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the hotels listed on Exhibit D attached hereto shall be included as Additional Hotels to the extent such hotels are offered for management, or become managed by, IH.

C. Credits. If as of any time there has been an outstanding Net IH Credit (as defined herein) for a period of 365 consecutive days, the TRS Entities shall notify IH of such fact and indicate the TRS Entities’ computation of the extent to which the Net IH Credit has been so outstanding and the TRS Entity or Entities to which the Net IH Credit relates shall pay to IH, in cash, the amount of such Net IH Credit outstanding for more than 365 days, such payment to be paid within thirty (30) days after IH’s delivery to the TRS Entities of a written statement acknowledging the accuracy of the TRS Entities’ computation of the amount so payable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Pooled Agreements, within thirty (30) days of the earlier of (a) the last day of any Extension Term under any of the Pooled Agreements or (b) the date of a Change of Control Event of Innkeepers (the earlier of such dates, being the “Settlement Date”), the TRS Entities shall deliver a written statement to IH setting forth the calculation of the TRS Credits (as defined herein), the IH Credits (as defined herein) and any Net IH Credit, in each case as of such Settlement Date. If there shall be a Net IH Credit as of such Settlement Date, the TRS Entity or Entities to which the Net IH Credit relates shall pay the amount of such Net IH Credit to IH, in cash, within thirty (30) days after IH’s delivery to the TRS Entities of a statement acknowledging the accuracy of the TRS Entities’ computation of such Net IH Credit. As a condition precedent to the payment and receipt of the Net IH Credit, IH and its Affiliates shall execute such documents and instruments, and shall take such further actions, as the TRS Entities, the Owners, their Affiliates or the acquiror may reasonably request, including, without limitation, stockholder undertakings. For purposes of this Agreement, the “TRS Credits” shall equal as of a particular date of determination the sum of (i) the aggregate value of the Additional Contract Values for all Additional Hotels as determined pursuant to Section III.B hereof and (ii) any aggregate unused credits provided by IH to any of the TRS Entities pursuant to Section 3.02 or 12.02 of the Pooled Agreements, in each case as of such date of determination. For purposes of this Agreement, the “IH Credits” shall equal as of a particular date of determination the sum of (1) the aggregate amount of the Early Termination Fees for all hotels which have been removed as a Pooled Hotel pursuant to Section 4.01.A of the Pooled Agreements and (2) any aggregate “compensation” payable to IH pursuant to Section 15.02.D of the Pooled Agreements less (3) any aggregate amounts previously paid by the TRS Entities to IH pursuant to the first sentence of this Section III.C, in each case as of such date of determination. For purposes of this Agreement, “Net IH Credit” as of a particular date of determination shall

3

equal the excess, if any, of (A) the IH Credits over (B) the TRS Credits, in each case as of such date of determination.

D. Working Capital. The TRS Entities shall maintain a balance in the Operating Account in an aggregate amount equal to $100,000 for all of the Pooled Hotels which shall be used by IH as working capital for the benefit of all of the Pooled Hotels.
