, you will be entitled to possession of the Premises and your Hotel without restrictions that would interfere with your performance under the Franchise Agreement, subject to the reasonable requirements of any financing secured by your Hotel.

You or your Principal and the Management Company, if applicable as provided under Section 8.D, will meet with us to conduct an initial inspection of the Premises and develop a property improvement plan (the "PIP") of improvements required to meet Brand Standards. We may assign you a project manager or onboarding specialist. The PIP is attached as Exhibit D-1(A) to the Franchise Agreement and is incorporated herein by reference. On or prior to the Renovation Work Completion Date (as defined below), you will cause the renovation and construction work required in the PIP (the "Renovation Work") to be completed. You agree, at your expense, to (1) obtain any and all required zoning changes, planning consents, building, utility, sign and business permits and licenses, liquor license and any other consents, permits and licenses necessary to lawfully open and operate your Hotel; (2) construct all required improvements in compliance with the PIP and any other construction plans and specifications approved by us; (3) decorate your Hotel in compliance with plans and specifications approved by us; and (4) obtain all customary contractors' sworn statements and partial and final waivers of lien for construction, remodeling, decorating and installation services. You agree to use the vendor(s) we select, if any (which may include us or our affiliates), for design, engineering, construction management and purchasing services in connection with the conversion of your Hotel.

You must submit to us your plans, layouts, specifications, and drawings for your Hotel (collectively, the "Plans"), and your plans, layouts, specifications, and drawings for the proposed furnishings, fixtures, equipment and décor of your Hotel (collectively, the "Designs") with respect to the Renovation Work. We may supply you with representative prototype guest room and public area plans and schematic building plans as a guide for preparation of the Plans and Designs. Our approval of such Plans and Designs does not warrant the depth of our analysis or assume any responsibility for the efficacy of the Plans and Designs, or the resulting Renovation Work. You acknowledge and agree that you will not rely upon any approval we may provide you for the Plans or Designs for any purpose whatsoever except compliance with our then prevailing Brand Standards.
