(ii) In the event the "Average Gross Revenue" (defined as (a) the gross Guest
Room Usage Fees from all Service-installed Guest Rooms at a participating
hotel divided by (b) the minimum number of Service-installed Guest Rooms at
such hotel, as defined in Paragraph 10(b) of the First Amendment to Master
