What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to the 2025 Springhill Suites By Marriott Franchise Disclosure Document, as security for the payment and performance of liabilities when due, each Grantor grants to MICC (Marriott International Capital Corporation) a security interest in all of the Grantor's right, title, and interest in the Collateral, and further assigns the Collateral to MICC. This indicates a broad assignment of the Grantor's rights and interests in the collateral to MICC as security for their liabilities.

MICC can request further documentation from Grantors at any time to evidence the Collateral, including certificates, endorsements, and instruments. Grantors must also provide notice of MICC's security interest to any third party holding the Collateral or having the ability to transfer ownership. If any amount payable under the Collateral is evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument, it must be assigned to MICC. If the Grantor's interest in the Collateral becomes an interest in real property, the Grantor must execute documents to create a perfected lien in favor of MICC.

Each Grantor represents and warrants that they are the sole owners of the Collateral, free and clear of any liens and claims, except for the security interest granted to MICC. They also confirm that no other security agreements or financing statements covering the Collateral are on file, except those filed by MICC. This assignment is effective immediately upon the execution of the Security Agreement and is not conditional upon any event of default. However, until an event of default occurs, MICC permits Grantors to receive any distribution free from MICC's security interest. Upon an event of default, this privilege immediately ceases without notice until the default is cured.
