    We are an internally managed hotel investment company recently
    organized by our Chairman, President and Chief Executive
    Officer, Jon&#160;E. Bortz, to opportunistically acquire and
    invest in hotel properties located primarily in major United
    States cities, with an emphasis on the major coastal markets. As
    a result of construction costs and density, these markets have
    significant barriers to entry and, as shown in historical
    industry data, we believe these markets will experience the most
    robust recovery in meeting and room-night demand as the U.S.
    economy improves. In addition, we may invest in resort
    properties located near our primary urban target markets, as
    well as in select destination markets such as Hawaii, south
    Florida and southern California. We will seek geographic
    diversity in our investments, although attractive opportunities
    will be more important than geographic mix in our investment
    activity. We intend to focus on full-service hotel properties in
    the &#147;upper upscale&#148; segment of the lodging industry as
    defined by Smith Travel Research, Inc., or Smith Travel
    Research. In addition, we may seek to acquire branded, upscale,
    select-service properties in our primary urban target markets.
    We believe that these investments can produce attractive
    risk-adjusted returns because we expect (i)&#160;to acquire
    properties at cyclically low prices in the current economic and
    financing environment and (ii)&#160;the properties we purchase
    will benefit from increasing business and leisure travel as the
    economy improves. We currently do not own any hotel properties
    and have no properties under contract. We intend to elect and
    qualify to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or REIT,
    for federal income tax purposes.

    We believe that the current market environment will present a
    significant number of attractive investment opportunities and
    that our management team has the experience and expertise
    necessary to acquire a high quality portfolio of hotel
    properties. Our management team is led by Mr.&#160;Bortz, the
    founder and former Chairman of the Board of Trustees and Chief
    Executive Officer of LaSalle Hotel Properties, a NYSE-listed
    hotel REIT. Prior to that, he founded and led Jones Lang
    LaSalle&#146;s Hotel Investment Group. Mr.&#160;Bortz has
    28&#160;years of lodging and real estate experience, having
    overseen more than $2.5&#160;billion of lodging-related

    $&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;million to invest in hotel
    properties and we will have no outstanding indebtedness.

    will be available in the lodging industry.

    The U.S.&#160;hotel industry has experienced substantial

    Poor&#146;s, hotel-related commercial mortgage-backed
    securities, or CMBS, with an aggregate principal amount of
    approximately $21&#160;billion are scheduled to mature over the
    next three years. In the current recessionary environment,
    traditional lending sources, such as banks, insurance companies
    and pension funds have adopted more conservative lending
    policies and have materially decreased new lending commitments
    to hotel properties. We believe the current and projected cash
    flows at many hotel properties, when coupled with more
    conservative lending policies, will only support mortgage
    financing that is significantly less than the amounts currently
    borrowed against such properties. As a result, we expect many
    owners of hotel properties will be unable to refinance maturing
    debt without significant additional equity investment, which may
    result in sales or foreclosures.

    is particularly true for hotels in urban markets and in the
    upper upscale segment of the lodging industry, where we intend
    to focus our investment activity. We believe cash flow after
    debt service at many hotel properties may be insufficient to
    fund necessary capital expenditures and their owners may face
    capital investment demands that could require additional equity
    investments. We believe some hotel owners will be unable or
    unwilling to make the required equity investments and may choose
    or be compelled to sell their hotels.

    offering in April 1998 to 31 properties with over 8,400 rooms at
    the time of Mr.&#160;Bortz&#146;s retirement in September 2009.
    In aggregate, Mr.&#160;Bortz oversaw the acquisition of 42 hotel
    and resort properties during his leadership tenure at LaSalle
    Hotel Properties and Jones Lang LaSalle&#146;s Hotel Investment
    Group. Mr.&#160;Bortz also established a strong capital sourcing
    network while at LaSalle Hotel Properties, overseeing that
    company&#146;s raising of more than $3.0&#160;billion of debt
    and equity capital to finance its significant growth over the
    past 11&#160;years.

    <I>Focused Property Investment Strategy.</I>&#160;&#160;We
    intend to invest primarily in upper upscale, full-service,
    branded and independent hotels in major U.S.&#160;cities, with
    an emphasis on the major coastal markets, where we believe there
    are significant barriers to entry for new hotel supply and
    meeting and room-night demand will experience the most robust
    recovery as the U.S.&#160;economy improves. In addition, we
    expect to acquire resort properties located near our primary
    urban target markets as well as in select, unique destination
    markets. We may also invest in branded, upscale, select-service
    hotels in premium urban locations in these major cities. Within
    these markets, we intend to establish a diversified customer
    base by investing in urban, resort and convention hotels, each
    of which typically has a different mix of business transient,
    leisure transient and group and convention customers, all of
    which follow different demand trends.

    <I>Flexible and Diversified Operating Strategy with No Legacy
    Issues.</I>&#160;&#160;Upon completion of this offering and the
    concurrent private placement, we will have no outstanding
    indebtedness and approximately
    $&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;million available for
    investment. While we expect our capital structure to ultimately
    include indebtedness as described in this prospectus, we do not
    intend to use significant leverage until after we have invested
    substantially all of the net proceeds of this offering and the
    concurrent private placement. As a newly formed company with no
    properties or operating history, we do not have the burden and
    distraction of legacy operating or legacy leverage issues that
    have adversely affected many existing hotel companies during the
    recent industry downturn, such as properties suffering from
    significant declines in cash flows or mortgage loan defaults.
    Since we are not affiliated with any hotel management company
    and have no contractual obligations to any particular hotel
    manager, we plan to retain multiple branded and independent
    third-party hotel management companies to operate our hotels,
    based on our assessment of the operator most beneficial for each
    property. We believe this strategy of retaining multiple hotel
    managers will assist us in identifying best practices that we
    will implement across our portfolio, as appropriate. We intend
    to enter into management contracts with third-party hotel
    management companies for the operation of our hotels. We expect
    that, in general, these contracts will have initial terms of
    five to ten years and require us to pay each management company
    a base management fee and may provide for
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">agreed-upon</FONT>
    performance-based compensation to the management company.
    Further, we will seek management contracts that provide us with
    the ability to (i)&#160;terminate the management contract and
    replace an operator if specified levels of operating performance
    are not satisfied, or at will; (ii)&#160;reposition a hotel if
    we determine to do so; and (iii)&#160;terminate the management
    contract in connection with a sale of the hotel, which we
    believe may facilitate the sale of a hotel. Periodically, we may
    sell a hotel on an opportunistic basis if we believe sales
    proceeds may be invested in hotel properties that offer more
    attractive risk-return profiles. In connection with some of
    these contract termination provisions, we may be required to pay
    a termination fee to the management company.

    In addition, we may seek to acquire branded, upscale,

    As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income
    tax on our REIT taxable income that we distribute currently to
    our shareholders. Under the Code, REITs are subject to numerous
    organizational and operational requirements, including a
    requirement that they distribute each year at least 90% of their
    taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for
    dividends paid and excluding any net capital gains. If we fail
    to qualify for taxation as a REIT in any taxable year and do not
    qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, our income for
    that year will be taxed at regular corporate rates, and we will
    be disqualified from taxation as a REIT for the four taxable
    years following the year during which we ceased to qualify as a
    REIT. Even if we qualify as a REIT for federal income tax
    purposes, we may still be subject to state and local taxes on
    our income and assets and to federal income and excise taxes on
    our undistributed income. Additionally, any income earned by our
    TRS lessees will be fully subject to federal, state and local
    corporate income tax.

    flow to make distributions to our shareholders or our ability to

    our board of trustees and declared by us based upon a variety of
    factors deemed relevant by our trustees. Distributions to our
    shareholders generally will be taxable to our shareholders as
    ordinary income; however, because a significant portion of our
    investments will be equity ownership interests in hotel
    properties, which will generate depreciation and other non-cash
    charges against our income, a portion of our distributions may

    In order to help us qualify as a REIT, among other reasons, our
    declaration of trust, subject to certain exceptions, restricts
    the amount of our shares of beneficial interest that a person

    provides that, subject to certain exceptions, no person may

    number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of the
    outstanding shares of any class or series of our shares of

    shares of beneficial interest being beneficially owned by less

    to constructively own ten percent or more of the ownership
    interests in a tenant (other than a TRS) of our real property

    trustees, in its sole discretion, may prospectively or
    retroactively exempt a person from these limits and may
    establish or increase an excepted holder percentage limit for

    operating partnership will invest these net proceeds in hotel
    properties in accordance with our investment strategy described
    in this prospectus and for general business purposes. Prior to

    properties, we intend to invest the net proceeds in
    interest-bearing short-term investment grade securities or
    money-market accounts which are consistent with our intention to
    qualify as a REIT. These initial investments are expected to
    provide a lower net return than we will seek to achieve from

    competitors in the upper upscale segment, and many of these

    The performance of the lodging industry has historically been
    closely linked to the performance of the general economy and,
    specifically, growth in U.S.&#160;GDP. It is also sensitive to
    business and personal discretionary spending levels. Declines in
    corporate travel budgets and consumer demand due to adverse
    general economic conditions, such as declines in U.S. GDP, risks
    affecting or reducing travel patterns, lower consumer confidence
    or adverse political conditions can lower the revenues and
    profitability of hotel properties and therefore the net
    operating profits of our TRS lessees to whom we intend to lease
    the hotel properties that we expect to acquire. The current
    global economic downturn has led to a significant decline in
    demand for products and services provided by the lodging
    industry, lower occupancy levels and significantly reduced room
    rates.

    We anticipate that recovery of demand for products and services

    We plan to own hotel properties which have different economic
    characteristics than many other real estate assets and a hotel
    REIT is structured differently than many other types of REITs. A
    typical office property owner, for example, has long-term leases
    with third-party tenants, which provides a relatively stable
    long-term stream of revenue. Our TRS lessees, on the other hand,
    will not enter into a lease with a hotel manager. Instead, our
    TRS lessees will engage the hotel manager pursuant to a
    management contract and will pay the manager a fee for managing
    the hotel. The TRS lessees will receive all the operating profit
    or losses at the hotel. Moreover, virtually all hotel guests
    stay at the hotel for only a few nights, so the rate and
    occupancy at each of our hotels changes every day. As a result,
    we may have highly volatile earnings.

    The lodging industry is highly cyclical in nature. Fluctuations
    in lodging demand and, therefore, hotel operating performance,
    are caused largely by general economic and local market
    conditions, which subsequently affect levels of business and
    leisure travel. In addition to general economic conditions, new
    hotel room supply is an important factor that can affect lodging
    industry fundamentals, and overbuilding has the potential to
    further exacerbate the negative impact of an economic recession.
    Room rates and occupancy, and thus RevPAR, tend to increase when
    demand growth exceeds supply growth. Although we believe that
    cyclical supply growth peaked in late 2008 to early 2009, and
    that lodging demand will begin to rebound in late 2010 to early
    2011, no assurances can be given that this will prove to be the
    case. The continued decline in lodging demand beyond late 2010
    to early 2011, or a continued growth in lodging supply, could
    result in continued deterioration in lodging industry
    fundamentals and returns that are substantially below
    expectations, or result in losses, which could adversely affect
    our financial condition, results of operations, the market price
    of our common shares and our ability to make distributions to
    our shareholders.

    all or a portion of the capital we have invested in a hotel
    property, as well as the anticipated future revenue from the

    Our hotel properties will be subject to various federal, state
    and local environmental laws. Under these laws, courts and
    government agencies have the authority to require us, as owner
    of a contaminated property, to clean up the property, even if we
    did not know of or were not responsible for the contamination.
    These laws also apply to persons who owned a property at the
    time it became contaminated, and therefore it is possible we
    could incur cleanup costs even after we sell some of the
    properties we acquire. In addition to the costs of cleanup,
    environmental contamination can affect the value of a property
    and, therefore, an owner&#146;s ability to borrow funds using
    the property as collateral or to sell the property. Under the
    environmental laws, courts and government agencies also have the
    authority to require that a person who sent waste to a waste
    disposal facility, such as a landfill or an incinerator, pay for
    the <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">clean-up</FONT>
    of that facility if it becomes contaminated and threatens human
    health or the environment. A person that arranges for the
    disposal or transports for disposal or treatment of a hazardous
    substance at a property owned by another may be liable for the
    costs of removal or remediation of hazardous substances released
    into the environment at that property.

    Furthermore, various court decisions have established that third
    parties may recover damages for injury caused by property
    contamination. For instance, a person exposed to asbestos while
    staying in a hotel may seek to recover damages if he or she
    suffers injury from the asbestos. Lastly, some of these
    environmental laws restrict the use of a property or place
    conditions on various activities. An example would be laws that
    require a business using chemicals (such as swimming pool
    chemicals at a hotel property) to manage them carefully and to
    notify local officials that the chemicals are being used.

    A number of members of the U.S.&#160;Congress and President
    Obama have stated that they support the Employee Free Choice
    Act, which, if enacted, would discontinue the current practice
    of having an open process where both the union and the employer
    are permitted to educate employees regarding the pros and cons
    of joining a union before having an election by secret ballot.
    Under the Employee Free Choice Act, the employees would only
    hear the union&#146;s side of the argument before making a
    commitment to join the union. The Employee Free Choice Act would
    permit unions to quietly collect employee signatures supporting
    the union without notifying the employer and permitting the
    employer to explain its views before a final decision is made by
    the employees. Once a union has collected signatures from a
    majority of the employees, the employer would have to recognize,
    and bargain with, the union. If the employer and the union fail
    to reach agreement on a collective bargaining contract within a
    certain number of days, both sides would be forced to submit
    their respective proposals to binding arbitration and a federal
    arbitrator would be permitted to create an employment contract
    binding on the employer. If the Employee Free Choice Act is
    enacted, a number of the hotel properties we will own or seek to
    acquire could become unionized.

    Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide
    reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. We are
    a newly formed company that will develop financial and
    operational reporting and control systems. We may in the future
    discover areas of our internal controls that need improvement.
    Section&#160;404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 will require
    us to evaluate and report on our internal controls over
    financial reporting and have our independent auditors annually
    issue their own opinion on our internal controls over financial
    reporting. While we intend to undertake substantial work to
    prepare for compliance with Section&#160;404, we cannot be
    certain that we will be successful in implementing or
    maintaining adequate internal controls over our financial
    reporting and financial processes. Furthermore, as we grow our
    business, our internal controls will become more complex, and we
    will require significantly more resources to ensure our internal
    controls remain effective. If we or our independent auditors
    discover a material weakness, the disclosure of that fact, even
    if quickly remedied, could reduce the market value of our common
    shares. Additionally, the existence of any material weakness or
    significant deficiency would require management to devote
    significant time and incur significant expense to remediate any
    such material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and
    management may not be able to remediate any such material
    weaknesses or significant deficiencies in a timely manner.

    To qualify for taxation as a REIT, we will be required to
    distribute to our shareholders at least 90% of our taxable
    income each year for us to qualify as a REIT under the Code. To
    the extent we satisfy the 90% distribution requirement but
    distribute less than 100% of our taxable income, we will be
    subject to a U.S.&#160;federal corporate income tax and a
    U.S.&#160;federal excise tax on our undistributed taxable
    income. We have not established a minimum distribution payment
    level, and our ability to make distributions to our shareholders
    may be adversely affected by the risk factors described in this
    prospectus. Because we currently have no hotel properties and
    will commence operations only upon completion of this offering,
    we may not generate sufficient income to make distributions to
    our shareholders and cannot predict when distributions
    consisting, in part, of cash flow from the hotels we expect to
    acquire will commence. We currently do not expect to use the net
    proceeds from this offering to make distributions to our
    shareholders. Our board of trustees has the sole discretion to
    determine the timing, form and amount of any distributions to
    our shareholders. The amount of such distributions may be
    limited until we have a portfolio of income-generating hotel
    properties. Our board of trustees will make determinations
    regarding distributions based upon, among other factors, our
    financial performance, any debt service obligations, any debt
    covenants, and capital expenditure requirements. Among the

    The trading prices of equity securities issued by REITs
    historically have been affected by changes in market interest
    rates. One of the factors that may influence the price of our
    common shares is the annual yield from distributions on our
    common shares as compared to yields on other financial
    instruments. An increase in market interest rates, or a decrease
    in our distributions to shareholders, may lead prospective

    Moreover, new tax legislation, administrative guidance or court
    decisions, in each instance potentially applicable with
    retroactive effect, could make it more difficult or impossible
    for us to qualify as a REIT. If we were to fail to qualify as a
    REIT in any taxable year, we would be subject to federal income
    tax, including any applicable alternative minimum tax, on our
    taxable income at regular corporate rates, and distributions to
    shareholders would not be deductible by us in computing our
    taxable income. Any such corporate tax liability could be
    substantial and would reduce the amount of cash available for
    distribution to our shareholders, which in turn could have an
    adverse impact on the value of our shares of beneficial
    interest. If, for any reason, we failed to qualify as a REIT and
    we were not entitled to relief under certain Code provisions, we
    would be unable to elect REIT status for the four taxable years
    following the year during which we ceased to so qualify which
    would negatively impact the value of our common shares.

    concurrent private placement to our operating partnership. Our
    operating partnership will invest these net proceeds in hotel
    properties in accordance with our investment strategy described
    in this prospectus and for general business purposes. Prior to
    the full investment of the net proceeds in hotel properties, we
    intend to invest the net proceeds in interest-bearing short-term
    investment grade securities or money-market accounts which are
    consistent with our intention to qualify as a REIT. Such
    investments may include, for example, government and government
    agency certificates, certificates of deposit, interest-bearing
    bank deposits and mortgage loan participations. These initial
    investments are expected to provide a lower net return than we
    will seek to achieve from investments in hotel properties. We
    will use approximately $&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; of the
    net proceeds of this offering to reimburse Mr.&#160;Bortz for

    We are an internally managed hotel investment company recently
    organized by our Chairman, President and Chief Executive
    Officer, Mr.&#160;Bortz, to opportunistically acquire and invest
    in hotel properties located primarily in major United States
    cities, with an emphasis on the major coastal markets. As a
    result of construction costs and density, these markets have
    significant barriers to entry and, as shown in historical
    industry data, we believe these markets will experience the most
    robust recovery in meeting and room-night demand as the U.S.
    economy improves. In addition, we may invest in resort
    properties located near our primary urban target markets, as
    well as in select destination markets such as Hawaii, South
    Florida and Southern California. We will seek geographic
    diversity in our investments, although attractive opportunities
    will be more important than geographic mix in our investment
    activity. We intend to focus on full-service hotel properties in
    the &#147;upper upscale&#148; segment of the lodging industry as
    defined by Smith Travel Research. In addition, we may seek to
    acquire branded, upscale, select-service properties in our
    primary urban target markets. We believe that investments in
    these hotel properties can produce attractive risk-adjusted
    returns because we expect (i)&#160;to acquire properties at
    cyclically low prices in the current economic and financing
    environment and (ii)&#160;the properties we purchase will
    benefit from increasing business and leisure travel as the
    economy improves. We currently do not own any hotel properties
    and have no properties under contract. We intend to elect and
    qualify to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or REIT,
    for federal income tax purposes.

    The U.S.&#160;hotel industry has experienced substantial
    declines in fundamentals as a result of the global economic
    recession and its adverse impact on business and leisure travel.
    We believe that the significant number of hotel properties
    experiencing substantial declines in operating cash flow,
    coupled with the challenged credit markets, near-term debt
    maturities and, in some instances, covenant defaults relating to
    outstanding indebtedness, will present attractive investment
    opportunities in the lodging industry. Accordingly, we believe
    the following factors will provide well-capitalized investors,
    such as our company, the opportunity to acquire high-quality
    hotel properties at prices significantly below replacement cost,
    with substantial appreciation potential as the U.S.&#160;economy
    recovers from the current recession:

    current recessionary environment, traditional lending sources,
    such as banks, insurance companies and pension funds have
    adopted more conservative lending policies and have materially
    decreased new lending commitments to hotel properties. We
    believe the current and projected cash flows at many hotel
    properties, when coupled with more conservative lending
    policies, will only support mortgage financing that is
    significantly less than the amounts currently borrowed against
    such properties. As a result, we expect many owners of hotel
    properties will be unable to refinance maturing debt without
    significant additional equity investment, which may result in
    sales or foreclosures.

    is particularly true for hotels in urban markets and in the
    upper upscale segment of the lodging industry, where we intend
    to focus our investment activity. We believe cash flow after
    debt service at many hotel properties may be insufficient to
    fund necessary capital expenditures and their owners may face
    capital investment demands that could require additional equity
    investments. We believe some hotel owners will be unable or

    The aggregate value of sale transactions involving
    U.S.&#160;hotels with a purchase price of $10&#160;million or
    more decreased by approximately 81%, from approximately
    $45&#160;billion in 2007 to approximately $8.5&#160;billion in
    2008, and declined further to approximately $2.0&#160;billion in
    the first nine months of 2009, as shown in the chart below. This
    decrease followed a dramatic increase in transaction volume from
    2004 through 2007, during which period attractive financing was
    widely available and lodging industry fundamentals were
    generally favorable. In 2008, as the capital markets collapsed
    and the economy declined significantly, availability of
    commercial real estate financing generally, and financing for
    hotel properties in particular, decreased dramatically.
    Traditional lending sources, such as banks, insurance companies
    and pension funds adopted more conservative lending policies and
    have materially decreased new lending commitments to hotel
    properties. The hotel CMBS market, once a large contributor to
    the availability of attractive debt financing, effectively
    closed in 2008 and has yet to reopen. Potential buyers of hotels
    have found it increasingly difficult to procure debt financing
    and thus both the number of bids for properties and the value of
    the bids themselves have decreased. As the price buyers are
    willing to pay for hotels has decreased, we believe many hotel
    owners have become reluctant to sell unless forced to do so.

    We believe a number of factors, including significant debt
    defaults, maturity defaults and lack of available financing and
    under-capitalized owners, described above, will increase
    pressure on certain hotel owners to sell properties at prices
    that we believe are attractive and that transaction volumes will
    increase over the next several years. We expect that
    well-capitalized buyers, such as our company, with access to
    equity capital and the ability to use low leverage, will have
    opportunities to acquire high-quality hotel properties at
    historically attractive prices.

    Since August 2008, the U.S.&#160;lodging industry has
    experienced substantial declines in fundamentals as a result of
    the global recession and its adverse impact on business and
    leisure travel. Lodging demand decreased on a year-over-year
    basis in 2008 and year-to-date in 2009, while supply has risen
    as hotel properties that were under development before the
    financial crisis continue to be completed. As a result of
    falling demand, increasing supply and deteriorating average
    rates, RevPAR decreased over the same periods and is expected to
    decrease by 17.4% in 2009 and 2.4% in 2010, according to JLLH.

    As a result of the financial distress, lack of financing, severe
    recession and declining operating fundamentals over the past two
    years, many previously planned new hotel developments have been
    abandoned and the number of rooms under construction and in
    planning has declined and is expected to decline further over
    the next several years. Accordingly, new room supply growth is
    projected by JLLH to be just 1.0% in 2010, 0.5% in 2011 and 1.2%
    in 2012, significantly below the 2.1% annual average from 1988
    to 2008. We believe this below-average projected supply growth
    is due to scarcity of financing for hotel properties and
    operating fundamentals that do not generate adequate returns on
    the cost of new hotel construction. We believe that declining
    new room supply growth will create an environment favorable for
    future increases in hotel occupancy, ADR and RevPAR.

    The U.S.&#160;hotel industry has experienced 13 consecutive
    months of RevPAR declines since August 2008, principally as a
    result of the declining economic environment, rising
    unemployment and an overall reduction in business and leisure
    travel. According to JLLH forecasts, the projected RevPAR
    decline in 2009 is expected to surpass the aggregate percentage
    declines for the periods following the
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">1990-91</FONT>
    recession and the recession surrounding the September&#160;11,
    2001 terrorist attacks, which are considered two of the worst
    periods in the modern history of the U.S.&#160;lodging industry.
    Specifically, JLLH projects RevPAR will decline 17.4% in 2009
    and an additional 2.4% in 2010. JLLH projects RevPAR growth will
    turn positive in 2011 through 2013, growing by 7.3%, 9.9%, and
    9.0%, respectively, similar to the above-average periods of
    RevPAR growth that followed the

    Historically, RevPAR has experienced periods of above-average
    growth following industry downturns. In addition, as shown in
    the charts below, the urban and upper upscale sectors, in which
    we intend to focus our investments, have outperformed the
    broader U.S.&#160;hotel industry in RevPAR growth over the last
    21&#160;years, with average annual RevPAR growth of 4.3% and
    3.4%, respectively, as compared to the overall lodging industry
    average of 3.2%. During the four-year period following the
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">1990-1991</FONT>
    recession, the overall hotel industry achieved average annual
    RevPAR growth of 5.2%, while upper upscale and urban hotels each
    experienced average annual RevPAR growth of 7.1%. A similar
    trend followed the
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">2001-2002</FONT>
    downturn, when the overall lodging industry experienced average
    annual RevPAR growth of 7.5%, while upper upscale and urban
    sectors achieved average annual RevPAR growth of 7.6% and 10.2%,
    respectively. We believe that the recent lodging industry
    downturn will allow us to acquire hotels at attractive prices
    and that increases in RevPAR for urban and upper upscale hotel
    properties are likely to outperform the broader U.S.&#160;hotel
    industry as the industry recovers, as they have historically.

    We believe that while the recent decline in lodging fundamentals
    is primarily a result of a significant decline in demand, room
    supply also has been an important factor in lodging cycles.
    Historically, following economic and hotel industry downturns,
    increases in supply of hotel rooms typically lag increases in

    Given the significant declines in RevPAR over the last
    13&#160;months, hotel profit levels have decreased
    significantly. We believe that in most markets today, current
    hotel level profitability is significantly below levels that
    economically justify construction of new hotel rooms,
    particularly as development and construction debt and equity
    financing have become far less available. As a result,
    previously planned hotel developments have been abandoned and
    the number of rooms under construction and in planning has
    declined and is likely to continue to decline over the next
    several years. According to JLLH, new room supply growth is
    projected to be only 1.0% in 2010, 0.5% in 2011 and 1.2% in
    2012. We believe growth in new room supply will likely remain
    significantly below its historical annual average of 2.1%
    through at least 2012 due to the lack of economic feasibility of
    new construction, scarcity of financing and a reduced appetite
    for risk following the current recession.

    <I>Flexible and Diversified Operating Strategy with No Legacy

    concurrent private placement we will have no outstanding
    indebtedness and approximately
    $&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;million available for
    investment. While we expect our capital structure to ultimately
    include indebtedness as described in this prospectus, we do not
    intend to use significant leverage until after we have invested
    substantially all of the net proceeds of this offering and the
    concurrent private placement. As a newly formed company with no
    properties or operating history, we will not have the burden and
    distraction of legacy operating or legacy leverage issues that
    have adversely affected many existing hotel companies during the
    recent industry downturn, such as properties suffering from
    significant declines in cash flows or mortgage loan defaults.
    Since we are not affiliated with any hotel management company
    and have no contractual obligations to any particular hotel
    manager, we plan to retain multiple branded and independent
    third-party hotel management companies to operate our hotels,
    based on our assessment of the operator most beneficial for each
    property. We believe this strategy of retaining multiple hotel
    managers will assist us in identifying best practices that we
    will implement across our portfolio, as appropriate. We intend
    to enter into management contracts with third-party hotel
    management companies for the operation of our hotels. We expect
    that, in general, these contracts will have initial terms of
    five to ten years and require us to pay each management company
    a base management fee and may provide for
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">agreed-upon</FONT>
    performance-based compensation to the management company.
    Further, we will seek management contracts that provide us with
    the ability to (i)&#160;terminate the management contract and
    replace an operator if specified levels of operating performance
    are not satisfied, or at will; (ii)&#160;reposition a hotel if
    we determine to do so; and (iii)&#160;terminate the management
    contract in connection with a sale of the hotel, which we
    believe may facilitate the sale of a hotel. Periodically, we may
    sell a hotel on an opportunistic basis if we believe sales
    proceeds may be invested in hotel properties that offer more
    attractive risk-return profiles. In connection with some of
    these contract termination provisions, we may be required to pay
    a termination fee to the management company.

    We intend to invest in hotel properties located primarily in
    major U.S.&#160;cities, with an emphasis on the major coastal
    markets. We believe these markets have significant barriers to
    entry and will experience the most robust recovery in meeting
    and room-night demand as the U.S. economy improves. In addition,
    we may invest in resort properties located near our primary
    urban target markets, as well as in select destination markets
    such as Hawaii, south Florida and southern California. We intend
    to focus on both branded and independent full-service hotels in
    the &#147;upper upscale&#148; segment of the lodging industry as
    defined by Smith Travel Research, based on average daily rates.
    In addition, we may seek to acquire branded, upscale,
    select-service hotels in our primary urban target markets. Smith
    Travel Research categorizes the hotel industry into six market
    classes, ranging from luxury to economy, based on average daily
    rate. In general, luxury hotels comprise the top 15% of average
    daily rates in a metropolitan market and upscale hotels comprise
    the next 15% of average daily rates, with upper upscale hotels
    comprising the top end of the upscale category. Examples of
    upper upscale brands include,
    Hilton<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">&#174;</SUP>,

    Hyatt<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">&#174;</SUP>

    and
    Westin<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">&#174;</SUP>;

    examples of upscale brands include Hyatt
    Place<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">&#174;</SUP>

    and Hilton Garden
    Inn<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">&#174;</SUP>.

    The full-service hotels on which we intend to focus our
    investment activity generally will have restaurant, lounge and
    meeting facilities and other amenities, as well as high service
    levels. The select-service hotels in which we may invest
    generally will not have comprehensive business meeting or
    banquet facilities and will have limited food and beverage
    outlets. We believe our target markets, including the coastal
    cities and resort markets, are characterized by significant
    barriers to entry and that long-term room-night demand and rate
    growth of these types of hotels will likely continue to
    outperform the national average, as they have historically.

    Although the upper upscale segment of the lodging industry has
    been more severely impacted in the recent recession, than in
    previous downturns, we believe that as the U.S.&#160;economy
    begins to stabilize and generate positive GDP growth, upper
    upscale full-service hotels and resorts and upscale
    select-service hotels located in major U.S.&#160;urban,
    convention and drive-to and destination resort markets are
    likely to generate the most favorable returns on investment in
    the lodging industry as historically RevPAR performance at these
    hotels has outperformed the broader U.S.&#160;hotel industry
    during periods of recovery. Hotel developers&#146; inability to
    source construction financing over the past 18 to
    24&#160;months, and likely for the foreseeable future, creates
    an environment in which minimal new lodging supply is expected
    to be added through at least 2012. We believe that as transient
    and group travel rebounds, existing supply will accommodate
    incremental room-night demand allowing hotel owners to grow
    occupancy and ultimately increase rates, thereby improving
    profitability. We believe that portfolio diversification will
    allow us to capitalize from growth in various customer segments
    including business transient, leisure transient, and group and
    convention room-night demand.

    The hotel properties that we acquire will be subject to various
    federal, state and local environmental laws. Under these laws,
    courts and government agencies have the authority to require us,
    as owner of a contaminated property, to clean up the property,
    even if we did not know of or were not responsible for the
    contamination. These laws also apply to persons who owned a
    property at the time it became contaminated, and therefore it is
    possible we could incur these costs even after we sell some of
    the properties we acquire. In addition to the costs of cleanup,
    environmental contamination can affect the value of a property
    and, therefore, an owner&#146;s ability to borrow using the
    property as collateral or to sell the property. Under the
    environmental laws, courts and government agencies also have the
    authority to require that a person who sent waste to a waste
    disposal facility, such as a landfill or an incinerator, pay for
    the <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">clean-up</FONT>
    of that facility if it becomes contaminated and threatens human
    health or the environment.

    Furthermore, various court decisions have established that third
    parties may recover damages for injury caused by property
    contamination. For instance, a person exposed to asbestos while
    staying in a hotel may seek to recover damages if he or she
    suffers injury from the asbestos. Lastly, some of these
    environmental laws restrict the use of a property or place
    conditions on various activities. An example would be laws that
    require a business using chemicals (such as swimming pool
    chemicals at a hotel property) to manage them carefully and to
    notify local officials that the chemicals are being used.

    We could be responsible for any of the costs discussed above.
    The costs to clean up a contaminated property, to defend against
    a claim, or to comply with environmental laws could be material
    and could adversely affect the funds available for distribution
    to our shareholders. We expect to obtain &#147;Phase I
    environmental site assessments,&#148; or ESAs, on each hotel
    property prior to acquiring it. However, these ESAs may not
    reveal all environmental costs that might have a material

    We are an internally managed hotel investment company, recently
    organized to opportunistically acquire and invest in hotel
    properties located primarily in major U.S. cities, with an
    emphasis on the major coastal markets, which we believe present
    significant barriers to entry for new hotel supply and are
    likely to experience the most robust recovery in meeting and
    room-night demand as the U.S. economy improves. As a newly
    formed company with no business activity to date, we have no
    operating history and only nominal assets, consisting only of
    cash contributed in connection with our formation. See
    &#147;Capitalization.&#148; We intend to elect and qualify to be
    taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, commencing with
    our short taxable year ending December&#160;31, 2009.

    For us to qualify as a REIT under the Code, we cannot operate
    the hotels we acquire. Therefore, our operating partnership and
    its subsidiaries will lease our hotel properties to our TRS
    lessees, who will in turn engage eligible independent
    contractors to manage our hotels. Each of these lessees will be
    treated as a TRS for federal income tax purposes and will be
    consolidated into our financial statements for accounting
    purposes. However, since both our operating partnership and our
    TRS lessees are controlled by us, our principal source of funds
    on a consolidated basis will be from the operations of our
    hotels. The earnings of our TRS lessees will be subject to
    taxation like other regular C corporations, which will reduce
    our funds from operations and the cash otherwise available for
    distribution to our shareholders.

    In May 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
    (&#147;FASB&#148;) issued an accounting standard that
    establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure
    of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before
    financial statements are issued or are available to be issued.
    It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity
    has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date. It
    also requires public entities to evaluate subsequent events
    through the date that the financial statements are issued. While
    we are evaluating the effect of this accounting standard, the
    adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our
    financial statements.

    In June 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard that
    requires enterprises to perform a more qualitative approach to
    determining whether or not a variable interest entity will need
    to be consolidated. This evaluation will be based on an
    enterprise&#146;s ability to direct and influence the activities
    of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact its
    economic performance. It requires ongoing reassessments of
    whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable
    interest entity. This accounting standard is effective for
    fiscal years beginning after November&#160;15, 2009. Early
    adoption is not permitted. While we are evaluating the effect of
    this accounting standard, we currently believe that the adoption
    of this standard will not have a material impact on our
    financial statements.

    In June 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard that made
    the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the
    &#147;Codification&#148;) the source of authoritative GAAP
    recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental
    entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under
    authority of federal securities laws are also sources of
    authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification will
    supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting
    standards. All other nongrandfathered non-SEC accounting
    literature not included in the Codification will become
    nonauthoritative. This accounting standard is effective for
    financial statements issued for interim and annual periods
    ending after September&#160;15, 2009. Following the issuance of
    this accounting standard, the FASB will not issue new standards
    in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging
    Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting
    Standards Updates. The Board will not consider Accounting
    Standards Updates as authoritative in their own right.
    Accounting Standards Updates will serve only to update the
    Codification, provide background information about the guidance,
    and provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the
    Codification. While we are evaluating the effect of this
    accounting standard, we currently believe that the adoption of
    this standard will not have a material impact on our financial
    statements.

    We expect to pay base salaries and annual bonuses and make
    grants of awards under our 2009 Equity Incentive Plan to certain
    of our officers, effective upon completion of this offering. The
    initial awards under our 2009 Equity Incentive Plan will be
    granted to provide performance and retention incentives to these
    individuals and to recognize such individuals&#146; efforts on
    our behalf in connection with our formation and this offering.
    Our board of trustees and our Compensation Committee have not
    yet adopted compensation policies with respect to, among other
    things, setting base salaries, awarding bonuses or making future
    grants of equity awards to our executive officers. We anticipate
    that such determinations will be made by our Compensation
    Committee based on factors such as the desire to retain such
    officer&#146;s services over the long-term, aligning such
    officer&#146;s interest with those of our shareholders,
    incentivizing such officer over the near-, medium- and
    long-term, and rewarding such officer for exceptional
    performance. In addition, our Compensation Committee may
    determine to make awards to new executive officers to help
    attract them to our company.

    The 2009 Equity Incentive Plan authorizes our Compensation

    (iii)&#160;by the surrender of common shares (or attestation of
    ownership of common shares) with an aggregate fair market value

    The 2009 Equity Incentive Plan also provides for the grant of
    share awards. A share award is an award of common shares that
    may be subject to restrictions on transferability and other
    restrictions as our Compensation Committee determines in its
    sole discretion on the date of grant. The restrictions, if any,
    may lapse over a specified period of time or through the
    satisfaction of conditions, in installments or otherwise, as our
    Compensation Committee may determine. A participant who receives
    a share award will have all of the rights of a shareholder as to
    those shares, including, without limitation, the right to vote
    and the right to receive dividends or distributions on the
    shares. During the period, if any, when share awards are
    non-transferable or forfeitable, (i)&#160;a participant is
    prohibited from selling, transferring, pledging, exchanging,
    hypothecating or otherwise disposing of his or her share award
    shares, (ii)&#160;the company will retain custody of the
    certificates and (iii)&#160;a participant must deliver a share
    power to the company for each share award.

    grant. Share appreciation rights will become exercisable in
    accordance with terms determined by our Compensation Committee.
    Share appreciation rights may be granted in tandem with an
    option grant or independently from an option grant. The term of
    a share appreciation right cannot exceed ten years from the date
    of grant or five years in the case of a share appreciation right
    granted in tandem with an incentive share option awarded to a

    LTIP units are a special class of partnership interests in our
    operating partnership. Each LTIP unit awarded will be deemed
    equivalent to an award of one common share under the 2009 Equity
    Incentive Plan, reducing availability for other equity awards on
    a
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">one-for-one</FONT>
    basis. We will not receive a tax deduction for the value of any
    LTIP units granted to our employees. The vesting period for any
    LTIP units, if any, will be determined at the time of issuance.
    LTIP units, whether vested or not, will receive the same
    quarterly per unit profit distributions as units of our
    operating partnership, which profit distribution will generally
    equal per&#160;share dividends on our common shares. This
    treatment with respect to quarterly distributions is similar to
    the expected treatment of our restricted share awards, which
    will generally receive full dividends whether vested or not.
    Initially, LTIP units will not have full parity with operating
    partnership units with respect to liquidating distributions.
    Under the terms of the LTIP units, our operating partnership
    will revalue its assets upon the occurrence of certain specified
    events, and any increase in valuation from the time of grant
    until such event will be allocated first to the holders of LTIP
    units to equalize the capital accounts of such holders with the
    capital accounts of operating partnership unit holders. Upon
    equalization of the capital accounts of the holders of LTIP
    units with the other holders of operating partnership units, the
    LTIP units will achieve full parity with operating partnership
    units for all purposes, including with respect to liquidating
    distributions. If such parity is reached, vested LTIP units may
    be converted into an equal number of operating partnership units
    at any time, and thereafter enjoy all the rights of operating
    partnership units, including exchange rights. However, there are
    circumstances under which such parity would not be reached.
    Until and unless such parity is reached, the value that an
    officer will realize for a given number of vested LTIP units
    will be less than the value of an equal number of our common
    shares.

    If we experience a change in control, the Compensation Committee
    may, at its discretion, provide that all outstanding options,
    share appreciation rights, share awards, performance units, or
    other equity based awards that are not exercised prior to the
    change in control will be assumed by the surviving entity, or
    will be replaced by a comparable substitute award of
    substantially equal value granted by the surviving entity. The

    outstanding options and share appreciation rights will be fully
    exercisable on the change in control, (ii)&#160;restrictions and
    conditions on outstanding share awards will lapse upon the

    rights, share awards, performance units, and other equity based
    awards in exchange for a payment, in cash or our common shares
    or other securities or consideration received by shareholders in

    provides that we may issue up to 500,000,000&#160;common shares,
    $0.01&#160;par value per share, and 100,000,000&#160;preferred
    shares of beneficial interest, $0.01&#160;par value per share,
    or preferred shares. We issued 1,000 common shares in connection
    with our initial capitalization. Upon completion of this
    offering, we will repurchase these shares. Our declaration of
    trust authorizes our board of trustees to amend our declaration
    of trust to increase or decrease the aggregate number of
    authorized shares or the number of shares of any class or series
    without shareholder approval. Upon completion of this

    Our declaration of trust authorizes our board of trustees to

    into other classes or series of shares of beneficial interest.
    Prior to the issuance of shares of each class or series, our
    board of trustees is required by Maryland law and by our
    declaration of trust to set, subject to the provisions of our
    declaration of trust regarding the restrictions on ownership and
    transfer of shares of beneficial interest, the preferences,
    conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions,
    limitations as to dividends or other distributions,

    direct the exercise of the voting power of such shares in the
    election of trustees: (1)&#160;a person who makes or proposes to
    make a control share acquisition, (2)&#160;an officer of the
    real estate investment trust or (3)&#160;an employee of the real
    estate investment trust who is also a trustee of the real estate
    investment trust. &#147;Control shares&#148; are voting shares
    which, if aggregated with all other such shares owned by the
    acquirer, or in respect of which the acquirer is able to
    exercise or direct the exercise of voting power (except solely
    by virtue of a revocable proxy), would entitle the acquirer to
    exercise voting power in electing trustees within one of the
    following ranges of voting power: (A)&#160;one-tenth or more but
    less than one-third, (B)&#160;one-third or more but less than a
    majority or (C)&#160;a majority or more of all voting power.
    Control shares do not include shares that the acquirer is then
    entitled to vote as a result of having previously obtained
    shareholder approval. A &#147;control share acquisition&#148;
    means the acquisition of control shares, subject to certain
    exceptions.

    We will contribute, directly, to our operating partnership
    substantially all of the net proceeds of this offering and the
    concurrent private placement as our initial capital contribution
    in exchange for substantially all of the limited partnership
    interests in our operating partnership. The partnership
    agreement provides that if the operating partnership requires
    additional funds at any time in excess of funds available to the
    operating partnership from borrowing or capital contributions,
    we may borrow such funds from a financial institution or other
    lender and lend such funds to the operating partnership on the
    same terms and conditions as are applicable to our borrowing of
    such funds. Under the partnership agreement, we are obligated to
    contribute the net proceeds of any future offering of shares as
    additional capital to the operating partnership. If we
    contribute additional capital to the operating partnership, we
    will receive additional partnership units and our percentage
    interest will be increased on a proportionate basis based upon
    the amount of such additional capital contributions and the
    value of the operating partnership at the time of such
    contributions. Conversely, the percentage interests of the
    limited partners will be decreased on a proportionate basis in
    the event of additional capital contributions by us. In
    addition, if we contribute additional capital to the operating
    partnership, we will revalue the property of the operating
    partnership to its fair market value (as determined by us) and
    the capital accounts of the partners will be adjusted to reflect
    the manner in which the unrealized gain or loss inherent in such
    property (that has not been reflected in the capital accounts
    previously) would be allocated among the partners under the
    terms of the partnership agreement if there were a taxable
    disposition of such property for its fair market value (as
    determined by us) on the date of the revaluation. The operating
    partnership may issue preferred partnership interests, in
    connection with acquisitions of property or otherwise, which
    could have priority over common partnership interests with
    respect to distributions from the operating partnership,
    including the partnership interests we own as the general
    partner.

    Pursuant to the partnership agreement, any future limited
    partners, other than us, will receive redemption rights, which
    will enable them to cause the operating partnership to redeem
    their limited partnership interests in exchange for cash or, at
    our option, common shares on a
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">one-for-one</FONT>
    basis. The cash redemption amount per unit is based on the
    market price of our common shares at the time of redemption. The
    number of common shares issuable upon redemption of limited
    partnership interests held by limited partners may be adjusted
    upon the occurrence of certain events such as share dividends,
    share subdivisions or combinations. We expect to fund any cash
    redemptions out of available cash or borrowings. Notwithstanding
    the foregoing, a limited partner will not be entitled to
    exercise its redemption rights if the delivery of common shares
    to the redeeming limited partner would:

    of&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;
    LTIP units to certain of our officers. These LTIP units will
    vest ratably over the first five anniversaries of the date of
    grant. In general, LTIP units are a class of partnership units
    in our operating partnership and will receive the same quarterly
    per unit profit distributions as the other outstanding units in
    our operating partnership. Initially, LTIP units will not have
    full parity with other outstanding units with respect to
    liquidating distributions. We expect that under the terms of the
    LTIP units, our operating partnership will revalue its assets
    upon the occurrence of certain specified events, and any
    increase in valuation from the time of grant until such event
    will be allocated first to the LTIP unit holders to equalize the
    capital accounts of such holders with the capital accounts of
    holders of our other outstanding partnership units. Upon
    equalization of the capital accounts of the LTIP unit holders
    with the capital accounts of the other holders of our operating
    partnership units, the LTIP units will achieve full parity with
    our other operating partnership units for all purposes,
    including with respect to liquidating distributions. If such
    parity is reached, vested LTIP units may be converted into an
    equal number of operating partnership units at any time, and
    thereafter enjoy all the rights of such units, including
    redemption rights. However, there are circumstances under which
    such parity would not be reached. Until and unless such parity
    is reached, the value for a given number of vested LTIP units
    will be less than the value of an equal number of our common
    shares.

    In connection with this offering, Hunton&#160;&#038; Williams
    LLP is expected to render an opinion that, commencing with our
    short taxable year beginning on the business day prior to the
    closing of this offering and ending on December&#160;31, 2009,
    we will be organized in conformity with the requirements for
    qualification and taxation as a REIT under the federal income
    tax laws, and our proposed method of operations will enable us
    to satisfy the requirements for qualification and taxation as a
    REIT under the federal income tax laws for our taxable year
    ending December&#160;31, 2009 and thereafter. Investors should
    be aware that Hunton&#160;&#038; Williams LLP&#146;s opinion is
    based upon customary assumptions, will be conditioned upon
    certain representations made by us as to factual matters,
    including representations regarding the nature of our assets and
    the conduct of our business, is not binding upon the IRS, or any
    court, and speaks as of the date issued. In addition,
    Hunton&#160;&#038; Williams LLP&#146;s opinion will be based on
    existing federal income tax law governing qualification as a
    REIT, which is subject to change either prospectively or
    retroactively. Moreover, our qualification and taxation as a
    REIT depend upon our ability to meet on a continuing basis,
    through actual annual operating results, certain qualification
    tests set forth in the federal tax laws. Those qualification
    tests involve the percentage of income that we earn from
    specified sources, the percentage of our assets that falls
    within specified categories, the diversity of ownership of our
    shares of beneficial interest, and the percentage of our
    earnings that we distribute. Hunton&#160;&#038; Williams LLP
    will not review our compliance with those tests on a continuing
    basis. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that our actual
    results of operations for any particular taxable year will
    satisfy such requirements. For a discussion of the tax
    consequences of our failure to qualify as a REIT, see

    If we qualify as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to
    federal income tax on the taxable income that we distribute to
    our shareholders. The benefit of that tax treatment is that it

    corporate and shareholder levels, that generally results from
    owning stock in a corporation. However, we will be subject to

    <I>Taxable REIT Subsidiaries.</I>&#160;&#160;A REIT may own up
    to 100% of the capital stock of one or more TRSs. A TRS is a
    fully taxable corporation that may earn income that would not be
    qualifying income if earned directly by the parent REIT. The
    subsidiary and the REIT must jointly elect to treat the
    subsidiary as a TRS. A corporation of which a TRS directly or
    indirectly owns more than 35% of the voting power or value of
    the stock will automatically be treated as a TRS. However, an
    entity will not qualify as a TRS if it directly or indirectly
    operates or manages a lodging or health care facility or,
    generally, provides to another person under a franchise,
    license, or otherwise, rights to any brand name under which any
    lodging facility or health care facility is operated, unless

    operate or manage a lodging facility or health care facility and
    such lodging facility or health care facility is either owned by
    the TRS or leased to the TRS by its parent REIT. Additionally, a
    TRS will not be considered to operate or manage a qualified
    lodging facility located outside of the United States, as long
    as an &#147;eligible independent contractor&#148; is responsible
    for the daily supervision and direction of such individuals on

    We are not treated as holding the assets of a TRS or as
    receiving any income that the subsidiary earns. Rather, the
    stock issued by a TRS to us is an asset in our hands, and we
    treat the distributions paid to us from such taxable subsidiary,
    if any, as income. This treatment can affect our compliance with
    the gross income and asset tests. Because we do not include the
    assets and income of TRSs in determining our compliance with the
    REIT requirements, we may use such entities to undertake
    indirectly activities that the REIT rules might otherwise
    preclude us from doing directly or through pass-through
    subsidiaries. Overall, no more than 25% of the value of a

    A TRS will pay income tax at regular corporate rates on any
    income that it earns. In addition, the TRS rules limit the
    deductibility of interest paid or accrued by a TRS to its parent
    REIT to assure that the TRS is subject to an appropriate level
    of corporate taxation. Further, the rules impose a 100% excise
    tax on transactions between a TRS and its parent REIT or the
    REIT&#146;s tenants that are not conducted on an
    arm&#146;s-length basis. We intend to form several TRSs which

    and equipment comprising our hotel properties. In order for the
    rent paid under the leases to constitute &#147;rents from real
    property,&#148; the leases must be respected as true leases for
    federal income tax purposes and not treated as service
    contracts, joint ventures or some other type of arrangement. The
    determination of whether our leases are true leases depends on
    an analysis of all the surrounding facts and circumstances. In
    making such a determination, courts have considered a variety of
    factors, including the following:

    Second, we must not own, actually or constructively, 10% or more
    of the shares or the assets or net profits of any lessee (a
    &#147;related party tenant&#148;), other than a TRS. The
    constructive ownership rules generally provide that, if 10% or

    directly or indirectly, by or for any person, we are considered
    as owning the shares owned, directly or indirectly, by or for

    Third, the rent attributable to the personal property leased in
    connection with the lease of a hotel must not be greater than
    15% of the total rent received under the lease. The rent
    attributable to the personal property contained in a hotel is
    the amount that bears the same ratio to total rent for the
    taxable year as the average of the fair market values of the
    personal property at the beginning and at the end of the taxable
    year bears to the average of the aggregate fair market values of
    both the real and personal property contained in the hotel at
    the beginning and at the end of such taxable year (the
    &#147;personal property ratio&#148;). To comply with this
    limitation, a TRS lessee may acquire furnishings, equipment and
    other personal property. With respect to each hotel in which the
    TRS lessee does not own the personal property, we believe either
    that the personal property ratio will be less than 15% or that
    any rent attributable to excess personal property will not
    jeopardize our ability to qualify as a REIT. There can be no
    assurance, however, that the IRS would not challenge our
    calculation of a personal property ratio, or that a court would
    not uphold such assertion. If such a challenge were successfully
    asserted, we could fail to satisfy the 75% or 95% gross income
    test and thus potentially lose our REIT status.

    exchange gain generally includes real estate foreign exchange
    gain as described above, and also includes foreign currency gain
    attributable to any item of income or gain that is qualifying
    income for purposes of the 95% gross income test and foreign
    currency gain attributable to the acquisition or ownership of
    (or becoming or being the obligor under) obligations. Because
    passive foreign exchange gain includes real estate foreign
    exchange gain, real estate foreign exchange gain is excluded
    from gross income for purposes of both the 75% and 95% gross
    income tests. These exclusions for real estate foreign exchange
    gain and passive foreign exchange gain do not apply to any
    certain foreign currency gain derived from dealing, or engaging
    in substantial and regular trading, in securities. Such gain is
    treated as nonqualifying income for purposes of both the 75% and
    95% gross income tests.

    A taxpayer generally must hold a capital asset for more than one
    year for gain or loss derived from its sale or exchange to be

    December&#160;31, 2010). The maximum tax rate on long-term
    capital gain applicable to taxpayers taxed at individual rates
    is 15% for sales and exchanges of assets held for more than one
    year occurring through December&#160;31, 2010. The maximum tax
    rate on long-term capital gain from the sale or exchange of
    &#147;Section&#160;1250 property,&#148; or depreciable real
    property, is 25%, which applies to the lesser of the total

    With respect to distributions that we designate as capital gain
    dividends and any retained capital gain that we are deemed to

    between capital gain and ordinary income for those taxpayers may
    be significant. In addition, the characterization of income as
    capital gain or ordinary income may affect the deductibility of
    capital losses. A non-corporate taxpayer may deduct capital
    losses not offset by capital gains against its ordinary income
    only up to a maximum annual amount of $3,000. A non-corporate
    taxpayer may carry forward unused capital losses indefinitely. A
    corporate taxpayer must pay tax on its net capital gain at
    ordinary corporate rates. A corporate taxpayer may deduct
    capital losses only to the extent of capital gains, with unused
    losses being carried back three years and forward five years.

    Tax-exempt entities, including qualified employee pension and
    profit sharing trusts and individual retirement accounts,
    generally are exempt from federal income taxation. However, they
    are subject to taxation on their unrelated business taxable
    income, or UBTI. Although many investments in real estate
    generate UBTI, the IRS has issued a ruling that dividend
    distributions from a REIT to an exempt employee pension trust do
    not constitute UBTI so long as the exempt employee pension trust
    does not otherwise use the shares of beneficial interest in the
    REIT in an unrelated trade or business of the pension trust.
    Based on that ruling, amounts that we distribute to tax-exempt
    shareholders generally should not constitute UBTI. However, if a
    tax-exempt shareholder were to finance its acquisition of common
    shares with debt, a portion of the income that it receives from
    us would constitute UBTI pursuant to the &#147;debt-financed
    property&#148; rules. Moreover, social clubs, voluntary employee
    benefit associations, supplemental unemployment benefit trusts
    and qualified group legal services plans that are exempt from
    taxation under special provisions of the federal income tax laws
    are subject to different UBTI rules, which generally will
    require them to characterize distributions that they receive
    from us as UBTI. Finally, in certain circumstances, a qualified
    employee pension or profit sharing trust that owns more than 10%
    of our shares of beneficial interest must treat a percentage of
    the dividends that it receives from us as UBTI. Such percentage
    is equal to the gross income we derive from an unrelated trade
    or business, determined as if we were a pension trust, divided
    by our total gross income for the year in which we pay the
    dividends. That rule applies to a pension trust holding more
    than 10% of our shares of beneficial interest only if:

    A publicly traded partnership is a partnership whose interests
    are traded on an established securities market or are readily
    tradable on a secondary market or the substantial equivalent
    thereof. A publicly traded partnership will not, however, be
    treated as a corporation for any taxable year if, for each
    taxable year beginning after December&#160;31, 1987 in which it
    was classified as a publicly traded partnership, 90% or more of
    the partnership&#146;s gross income for such year consists of
    certain passive-type income, including real property rents,
    gains from the sale or other disposition of real property,
    interest, and dividends, or (the &#147;90% passive income
    exception&#148;). Treasury regulations (the &#147;PTP
    regulations&#148;) provide limited safe harbors from the
    definition of a publicly traded partnership. Pursuant to one of
    those safe harbors (the &#147;private placement
    exclusion&#148;), interests in a partnership will not be treated
    as readily tradable on a secondary market or the substantial
    equivalent thereof if (1)&#160;all interests in the partnership
    were issued in a transaction or transactions that were not
    required to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
    amended, and (2)&#160;the partnership does not have more than
    100 partners at any time during the partnership&#146;s taxable
    year. In determining the number of partners in a partnership, a
    person owning an interest in a partnership, grantor trust, or
    S&#160;corporation that owns an interest in the partnership is
    treated as a partner in such partnership only if
    (1)&#160;substantially all of the value of the owner&#146;s
    interest in the entity is attributable to the entity&#146;s
    direct or indirect interest in the partnership and (2)&#160;a
    principal purpose of the use of the entity is to permit the
    partnership to satisfy the 100-partner limitation. Each
    Partnership is expected to qualify for the private placement
    exclusion in the foreseeable future. Additionally, if our
    operating partnership were a publicly traded partnership, we
    believe that our operating partnership would have sufficient
    qualifying income to satisfy the 90% passive income exception
    and thus would continue to be taxed as a partnership for federal
    income tax purposes.

    We have not requested, and do not intend to request, a ruling
    from the IRS that the Partnerships will be classified as
    partnerships for federal income tax purposes. If for any reason
    a Partnership were taxable as a corporation, rather than as a
    partnership, for federal income tax purposes, we likely would
    not be able to qualify as a REIT unless we qualified for certain
    relief provisions. See &#147;&#151;&#160;Gross Income
    Tests&#148; and &#147;&#151;&#160;Asset Tests.&#148; In
    addition, any change in a Partnership&#146;s status for tax
    purposes might be treated as a taxable event, in which case we
    might incur tax liability without any related cash distribution.
    See &#147;&#151;&#160;Distribution Requirements.&#148; Further,
    items of income and deduction of such Partnership would not pass
    through to its partners, and its partners would be treated as
    shareholders for tax purposes. Consequently, such Partnership
    would be required to pay income tax at corporate rates on its
    net income, and distributions to its partners would constitute
    dividends that would not be deductible in computing such
    Partnership&#146;s taxable income.

    <I>Tax Allocations With Respect to Our
    Properties.</I>&#160;&#160;Income, gain, loss, and deduction
    attributable to appreciated or depreciated property that is
    contributed to a partnership in exchange for an interest in the
    partnership must be allocated in a manner such that the
    contributing partner is charged with, or benefits from,
    respectively, the unrealized gain or unrealized loss associated
    with the property at the time of the contribution. The amount of
    such unrealized gain or unrealized loss (&#147;built-in
    gain&#148; or &#147;built-in loss&#148;) is generally equal to
    the difference between the fair market value of the contributed
    property at the time of contribution and the adjusted tax basis
    of such property at the time of contribution (a &#147;book-tax
    difference&#148;). Any property purchased by our operating
    partnership for cash initially will have an adjusted tax basis
    equal to its fair market value, resulting in no book-tax
    difference. In the future, however, our operating partnership
    may admit partners in exchange for a contribution of appreciated
    or depreciated property, resulting in book-tax differences. Such
    allocations are solely for federal income tax purposes and do
    not affect the book capital accounts or other economic or legal
    arrangements among the partners. The U.S.&#160;Treasury
    Department has issued regulations requiring partnerships to use
    a &#147;reasonable method&#148; for allocating items with
    respect to which there is a book-tax difference and outlining
    several reasonable allocation methods. Under certain available
    methods, the carryover basis of contributed properties in the
    hands of our operating partnership (i)&#160;would cause us to be
    allocated lower amounts of depreciation deductions for tax
    purposes than would be allocated to us if all contributed
    properties were to have a tax basis equal to their fair market
    value at the time of the contribution and (ii)&#160;in the event
    of a sale of such properties, could cause us to be allocated
    taxable gain in excess of the economic or book gain allocated to
    us as a result of such sale, with a corresponding benefit to the
    contributing partners. An allocation described in
    (ii)&#160;above might cause us to recognize taxable income in
    excess of cash proceeds in the event of a sale or other
    disposition of property, which might adversely affect our
    ability to comply with the REIT distribution requirements and
    may result in a greater portion of our distributions being taxed
    as dividends. We have not yet decided what method will be used
    to account for book-tax differences for properties that may be
    acquired by our operating partnership in the future.

    A fiduciary of a pension, profit sharing, retirement or other
    employee benefit plan, or plan, subject to the Employee
    Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or ERISA,
    should consider the fiduciary standards under ERISA in the
    context of the plan&#146;s particular circumstances before
    authorizing an investment of a portion of such plan&#146;s
    assets in the common shares. Accordingly, such fiduciary should
    consider (i)&#160;whether the investment satisfies the
    diversification requirements of Section&#160;404(a)(1)(C) of
    ERISA, (ii)&#160;whether the investment is in accordance with
    the documents and instruments governing the plan as required by
    Section&#160;404(a)(1)(D) of ERISA, and (iii)&#160;whether the
    investment is prudent under ERISA. In addition to the imposition
    of general fiduciary standards of investment prudence and
    diversification, ERISA, and the corresponding provisions of the

    our common shares also should consider whether the acquisition
    or the continued holding of the shares might constitute or give
    rise to a direct or indirect prohibited transaction that is not
    subject to an exemption issued by the Department of Labor, or
    the DOL. Similar restrictions apply to many governmental and
    foreign plans which are not subject to ERISA. Thus, those
    considering investing in the shares on behalf of such a plan
    should consider whether the acquisition or the continued holding
    of the shares might violate any such similar restrictions.

    The DOL has issued final regulations, or the DOL Regulations, as
    to what constitutes assets of an employee benefit plan under
    ERISA. Under the DOL Regulations, if a plan acquires an equity
    interest in an entity, which interest is neither a
    &#147;publicly offered security&#148; nor a security issued by
    an investment company registered under the Investment Company
    Act of 1940, as amended, the plan&#146;s assets would include,
    for purposes of the fiduciary responsibility provision of ERISA,
    both the equity interest and an undivided interest in each of
    the entity&#146;s underlying assets unless certain specified
    exceptions apply. The DOL Regulations define a publicly offered
    security as a security that is &#147;widely held,&#148;
    &#147;freely transferable,&#148; and either part of a class of
    securities registered under the Exchange Act, or sold pursuant
    to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act
    (provided the securities are registered under the Exchange Act
    within 120&#160;days after the end of the fiscal year of the
    issuer during which the public offering occurred). The shares
    are being sold in an offering registered under the Securities
    Act and will be registered under the Exchange Act.

    The DOL Regulations provide that a security is &#147;widely
    held&#148; only if it is part of a class of securities that is
    owned by 100 or more investors independent of the issuer and of
    one another. A security will not fail to be &#147;widely
    held&#148; because the number of independent investors falls
    below 100 subsequent to the initial public offering as a result
    of events beyond the issuer&#146;s control. We expect our common
    shares to be &#147;widely held&#148; upon completion of this
    offering.

    The DOL Regulations provide that whether a security is
    &#147;freely transferable&#148; is a factual question to be
    determined on the basis of all relevant facts and circumstances.
    The DOL Regulations further provide that when a security is part
    of an offering in which the minimum investment is $10,000 or
    less, as is the case with this offering, certain restrictions
    ordinarily will not, alone or in combination, affect the finding
    that such securities are &#147;freely transferable.&#148; We
    believe that the restrictions imposed under our declaration of
    trust on the transfer of our shares are limited to the
    restrictions on transfer generally permitted under the DOL
    Regulations and are not likely to result in the failure of the
    common shares to be &#147;freely transferable.&#148; The DOL
    Regulations only establish a presumption in favor of the finding
    of free transferability, and, therefore, no assurance can be
    given that the DOL will not reach a contrary conclusion.

    Assuming that the common shares will be &#147;widely held&#148;
    and &#147;freely transferable,&#148; we believe that our common

    Until the distribution of the shares is completed, SEC rules may
    limit underwriters and selling group members from bidding for

    In connection with this offering, the underwriters may purchase
    and sell our common shares in the open market. These
    transactions may include short sales, purchases on the open
    market to cover positions created by short sales and stabilizing
    transactions. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters
    of a greater number of shares than they are required to purchase
    in this offering. &#147;Covered&#148; short sales are sales made
    in an amount not greater than the underwriters&#146;
    overallotment option. The underwriters may close out any covered
    short position by either exercising their overallotment option
    or purchasing shares in the open market. In determining the
    source of shares to close out the covered short position, the
    underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of
    shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to
    the price at which they may purchase shares through the
    overallotment option. &#147;Naked&#148; short sales are sales in
    excess of the overallotment option. The underwriters must close
    out any naked short position by purchasing shares in the open
    market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if
    the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward
    pressure on the price of our common shares in the open market
    after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase
    in this offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of various
    bids for or purchases of common shares made by the underwriters
    in the open market prior to the completion of this offering.

    The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid. This occurs when
    a particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of
    the underwriting discount received by it because the
    representatives have repurchased shares sold by or for the
    account of such underwriter in stabilizing or short covering
    transactions.

    Similar to other purchase transactions, the underwriters&#146;
    purchases to cover the syndicate short sales may have the effect
    of raising or maintaining the market price of our common shares
    or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our
    common shares. As a result, the price of our common shares may
    be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open

    Revenue consists of amounts derived from hotel operations,
    including the sales of rooms, food and beverage, and other
    ancillary amenities. Revenue is recognized when rooms are
    occupied and services have been rendered. These revenue sources
    are affected by conditions impacting the travel and hospitality
    industry as well as competition from other hotels and businesses
    in similar markets.

    The Company has elected to be taxed as a pass-through entity
    under subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code, but intends to
    revoke the subchapter S election on the business day prior to
    the closing of a proposed offering of common shares to the
    public. The Company intends to elect to be taxed as a real
    estate investment trust (&#147;REIT&#148;) for federal income
    tax purposes commencing with a short taxable year beginning on
    the date of the revocation of the subchapter S election and
    ending on December&#160;31, 2009. The Company expects to have
    little or no taxable income prior to electing REIT status. To
    qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet certain organizational
    and operational requirements, including a requirement to
    distribute at least 90% of the Company&#146;s annual REIT
    taxable income to its shareholders (which is computed without
    regard to the dividends paid deduction or net capital gain and
    which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in
    accordance with U.S.&#160;generally accepted accounting
    principals). As a REIT, the Company generally will not be
    subject to federal income tax to the extent it distributes
    qualifying dividends to its shareholders. If the Company fails
    to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to
    federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate
    income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify
    for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the
    four taxable years following the year during which qualification
    is lost unless the Internal Revenue Service grants the Company
    relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could
    materially adversely affect the Company&#146;s net income and
    net cash available for distribution to shareholders. However,
    the Company intends to organize and operate in such a manner as
    to qualify for treatment as a REIT.

    In May 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
    (&#147;FASB&#148;) issued an accounting standard that
    establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure
    of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before
    financial statements are issued or are available to be issued.
    It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity
    has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date. It
    also requires public entities to evaluate subsequent events
    through the date that the financial statements are issued. The
    adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material
    impact on the Company&#146;s financial statements.

    In June 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard that
    requires enterprises to perform a more qualitative approach to
    determining whether or not a variable interest entity will need
    to be consolidated. This evaluation will be based on an
    enterprise&#146;s ability to direct and influence the activities
    of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact its
    economic performance. It requires ongoing reassessments of
    whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable
    interest entity. This accounting standard is effective for
    fiscal years beginning after November&#160;15, 2009. Early
    adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating
    the impact of this accounting standard.

    In June 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard that made
    the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the
    &#147;Codification&#148;) the source of authoritative GAAP
    recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental
    entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under
    authority of federal securities laws are also sources of
    authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification will
    supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting
    standards. All other nongrandfathered non-SEC accounting
    literature not included in the Codification will become
    nonauthoritative. This accounting standard is effective for
    financial statements issued for interim and annual periods
    ending after September&#160;15, 2009. Following the issuance of
    this accounting standard, the FASB will not issue new standards
    in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging
    Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting
    Standards Updates. The Board will not consider Accounting
    Standards Updates as authoritative in their own right.
    Accounting Standards Updates will serve only to update the
    Codification, provide background information about the guidance,
    and provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the
    Codification. The adoption of this accounting standard did not
    have a significant impact on the Company&#146;s financial
    statements.

    The Maryland General Corporation Law permits a Maryland real
    estate investment trust to indemnify and advance expenses to its
    trustees, officers, employees and agents to the same extent as
    permitted for directors and officers of Maryland corporations.
    The MGCL permits a corporation to indemnify its present and
    former directors and officers, among others, against judgments,
    penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually
    incurred by them in connection with any proceeding to which they
    may be a party by reason of their service in those or other
    capacities unless it is established that (a)&#160;the act or
    omission of the director or officer was material to the matter
    giving rise to the proceeding and (i)&#160;was committed in bad
    faith or (ii)&#160;was a result of active and deliberate
    dishonesty, (b)&#160;the director or officer actually received
    an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or
    (c)&#160;in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or
    officer has reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission
    was unlawful. However, a Maryland corporation may not indemnify
    for an adverse judgment in a suit by or in the right if the
    corporation or if the director or officer was adjudged to be
    liable for an improper personal benefit, unless in either case a
    court orders indemnification and then only for expenses. In
    accordance with the Maryland General Corporation Law and our
    bylaws, our bylaws require us, as a condition to advancing
    expenses, to obtain (a)&#160;a written affirmation by the
    trustee or officer of his or her good faith belief that he or
    she has met the standard of conduct necessary for
    indemnification and (b)&#160;a written statement by or on his or
    her behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by us if it
    shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct was
    not met.

SARs, Share Awards, Performance Units, Options and Other Equity-Based Awards upon such terms (not
inconsistent with the provisions of this Plan), as the Committee may consider appropriate. Such
terms may include conditions (in addition to those contained in this Plan), on the exercisability
of all or any part of an Option or SAR or on the transferability or forfeitability of a Share
Award, an award of Performance Units or an Other Equity-Based Award. Notwithstanding any such
conditions, the Committee may, in its discretion, accelerate the time at which any Option or SAR
may be exercised, or the time at which a Share Award or Other Equity-Based Award may become
transferable or nonforfeitable or the time at which an Other Equity-Based Award or an award of
Performance Units may be settled. In addition, the Committee shall have complete authority to
interpret all provisions of this Plan; to prescribe the form of Agreements; to adopt, amend, and
rescind rules and regulations pertaining to the administration of the Plan (including rules and
regulations that require or allow Participants to defer the payment of benefits under the Plan);
and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of this Plan.
The Committee&#146;s determinations under the Plan (including without limitation, determinations of the
individuals to receive awards under the Plan, the form, amount and timing of such awards, the terms
and provisions of such awards and the Agreements) need not be uniform and may be made by the

Plan, whether or not such persons are similarly situated. The express grant in the Plan of any
specific power to the Committee shall not be construed as limiting any power or authority of the
Committee. Any decision made, or action taken, by the Committee in connection with the
administration of this Plan shall be final and conclusive. The members of the Committee shall not
be liable for any act done in good faith with respect to this Plan or any Agreement, Option, SAR,
Share Award, Other Equity-Based Award or award of Performance Units. All expenses of administering
this Plan shall be borne by the Company.

distributed under this Section&nbsp;14.04 (&#147;Overpayments&#148;), or that additional amounts should be paid or
distributed to the Participant under this Section&nbsp;14.04 (&#147;Underpayments&#148;). If the Accounting Firm
determines, based on either the assertion of a deficiency by the Internal Revenue Service against
the Company or the Participant, which assertion the Accounting Firm believes has a high probability
of success or controlling precedent or substantial authority, that an Overpayment has been made,
the Participant must repay to the Company, without interest; provided, however, that no loan will
be deemed to have been made and no amount will be payable by the Participant to the Company unless,
and then only to the extent that, the deemed loan and payment would either reduce the amount on
which the Participant is subject to tax under Code Section&nbsp;4999 or generate a refund of tax imposed
under Code Section&nbsp;4999. If the Accounting Firm determines, based upon controlling precedent or
substantial authority, that an Underpayment has occurred, the Accounting Firm will notify the
Participant and the Company of that determination and the amount of that Underpayment will be paid
to the Participant promptly by the Company.
