What restrictions are placed on Baymont Inn Suites and its subsidiaries regarding granting liens, incurring indebtedness, selling assets, making investments, engaging in acquisitions, mergers, or consolidations, and paying dividends under the Credit Facilities?

The revolving credit facility and term loans (the "Credit Facilities") are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by certain of the Company's wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries and secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and those subsidiaries. The Credit Facilities were initially guaranteed by former Parent, which guarantee was released immediately prior to the consummation of the spin-off. The Credit Facilities contain customary covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the Company and its restricted subsidiaries' ability to grant liens on the Company and its restricted subsidiaries' assets, incur indebtedness, sell assets, make investments, engage in acquisitions, mergers or consolidations and pay certain dividends and other restricted payments. The Credit Facilities require the Company to comply with financial maintenance covenants to be tested quarterly, consisting of a maximum first-lien leverage ratio.

The Credit Facilities also contain certain customary events of default, including, but not limited to: (i) failure to pay principal, interest, fees or other amounts under the Credit Facilities when due, taking into account any applicable grace period; (ii) any representation or warranty proving to have been incorrect in any material respect when made; (iii) failure to perform or observe covenants or other terms of the Credit Facilities subject to certain grace periods; (iv) a cross-default and cross-acceleration with certain other material debt; (v) bankruptcy events; (vi) certain defaults under ERISA; and (vii) the invalidity or impairment of security interests.
