&#8220;Seller&#8221;), for a contractual purchase price of $335.0&nbsp;million.
The Company funded the acquisition of the Hotel with existing corporate cash
and a $115&nbsp;million draw on its corporate credit facility. The Hotel will
continue to be managed by Highgate Hotels pursuant to a new management

existing franchise agreement with Radisson Hotels International, Inc.

between the Seller and the Company or any of its affiliates, or any director or
officer of the Company, or any associate of any such director or officer, other
than in respect to the acquisition of the Hotel.
