The additional classes or series, as well as the common stock, will be available for issuance without further action by our stockholders, unless stockholder consent is required by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which our securities may be listed or traded. Although our board of directors does not currently intend to do so, it could authorize us to issue an additional class or series of stock that could, depending upon the terms of the particular class or series, delay, defer or prevent a transaction or a change of control of our Company, even if such transaction or change of control involves a premium price for our stockholders or stockholders believe that such transaction or change of control may be in their best interests. </font>

In addition, if we, or one or more owners (actually or constructively) of 10% or more of us, actually or constructively owns 10% or more of a tenant of ours (or a tenant of any partnership in which we are a partner), the rent received by us (either directly or through any such partnership) from such tenant will not be qualifying income for purposes of the REIT gross income tests of the Code. Our stock must also be beneficially owned by 100 or more persons during at least&#160;335&#160;days of a taxable year of 12&#160;months or during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable year (other than the first year for which an election to be a REIT has been made by us). </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Our charter contains restrictions on the ownership and transfer of our capital stock that are intended to assist us in complying with these requirements and continuing to qualify as a REIT. The relevant sections of our charter provide that, subject to the exceptions described below, no person or persons acting as a group may own, or be deemed to own by virtue of the attribution provisions of the Code, more than (i)&#160;9.8% of the lesser of the number or value of shares of our common stock outstanding or (ii)&#160;9.8% of the lesser of the number or value of the issued and outstanding preferred or other shares of any class or series of our stock. We refer to this restriction as the &#8220;ownership limit.&#8221; </font>

        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:8pt; width:456pt; line-height:11.5pt;">
          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">The ownership attribution rules under the Code are complex and may cause stock owned actually or constructively by a group of related individuals and/or entities to be owned constructively by one individual or entity. As a result, the acquisition of less than 9.8% of our common stock (or the acquisition of an interest in an entity that owns, actually or constructively, our common stock) by an individual or entity, could, nevertheless cause that individual or entity, or another individual or entity, to own constructively in excess of 9.8% of our outstanding common stock and thereby subject the common stock to the ownership limit. </font>

The number of shares in excess of the ownership limit will be automatically transferred to, and held by, a trust for the exclusive benefit of one or more charitable organizations selected by us. The trustee of the trust will be designated by us and must be unaffiliated with us and with any purported owner. The automatic transfer will be effective as of the close of business on the business day prior to the date of the violative transfer or other event that results in a transfer to the trust. Any dividend or other distribution paid to the purported owner, prior to our discovery that the shares had been automatically transferred to a trust as described above, must be repaid to the trustee upon demand for distribution to the beneficiary of the trust and all dividends and other distributions paid by us with respect to such &#8220;excess&#8221; shares prior to the sale by the trustee of such shares shall be paid to the trustee for the beneficiary. If the transfer to the trust as described above is not automatically effective, for any reason, to prevent violation of the applicable ownership limit, then our charter provides that the transfer of the excess shares will be void. Subject to Maryland law, effective as of the date that such excess shares have been transferred to the trust, the trustee shall have the authority (at the trustee&#8217;s sole discretion and subject to applicable law) (i)&#160;to rescind as void any vote cast by a purported owner prior to our discovery that such shares have been transferred to the trust and (ii)&#160;to recast such vote in accordance with the desires of the trustee acting for the benefit of the beneficiary of the trust, provided that if we have already taken irreversible action, then the trustee shall not have the authority to rescind and recast such vote. </font>

Director nominees in an uncontested election are elected if the votes cast for such nominee&#8217;s election exceed the votes cast against such nominee&#8217;s election (with abstentions and broker non-votes not counted as a vote cast either &#8220;for&#8221; or &#8220;against&#8221; that director&#8217;s election).

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Under the MGCL, a Maryland corporation generally cannot dissolve, amend its charter, merge, consolidate, transfer all or substantially all of its assets, engage in a statutory share exchange or engage in similar transactions outside the ordinary course of business unless declared advisable by the board of directors and approved by the affirmative vote of stockholders holding at least two-thirds of the shares entitled to vote on the matter unless a lesser&#160;percentage (but not less than a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter) is set forth in the corporation&#8217;s charter. Our charter does not provide for a lesser&#160;percentage of the shares entitled to vote for these matters. However, Maryland law permits a corporation to transfer all or substantially all of its assets without the approval of the stockholders of the corporation to one or more persons if all of the equity interests of the person or persons are owned, directly or indirectly, by the corporation. Because operating assets may be held by a corporation&#8217;s subsidiaries, as in our situation, this may mean that a subsidiary of a corporation can transfer all of its assets without a vote of the corporation&#8217;s stockholders. </font>

Prior to issuance of shares of each series, our board of directors is required by the MGCL and our charter to set the terms, preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications and terms or conditions of redemption for each such series. Thus, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of shares of preferred stock with terms and conditions that could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a transaction or a change of control of our Company that might involve a premium price for holders of our common stock or that stockholders believe may be in their best interests.

The following description of rights to purchase such securities provides certain general terms and provisions of such rights that we may offer. Our rights may be issued independently or together with any other security offered hereby and may or may not be transferable by the person receiving the rights in such offering. In connection with any offering of rights, we may enter into a standby arrangement with one or more underwriters or other purchasers pursuant to which the underwriters or other purchasers may be required to purchase all or a portion of any securities remaining unsubscribed for after such offering. Certain other terms of any rights will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. To the extent that any particular terms of any rights described in a prospectus supplement differ from any of the terms described in this prospectus, then those particular terms described in this prospectus shall be deemed to have been superseded by that prospectus supplement.

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">The securities offered by means of this prospectus may be issued in whole or in part in book-entry form, meaning that beneficial owners of the securities will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the securities, except in the event the book-entry system for the securities is discontinued. Securities issued in book entry form will be evidenced by one or more global securities that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, a depositary identified in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to the securities. We expect that The Depository Trust Company will serve as depository. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual securities represented by that security, a global security may not be transferred except as a whole by the depository for the global security to a nominee of that depository or by a nominee of that depository to that depository or another nominee of that depository or by the depository or any nominee of that depository to a successor depository or a nominee of that successor. Global securities may be issued in either registered or bearer form and in either temporary or permanent form. The specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to a class or series of securities that differ from the terms described here will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Upon the issuance of a global security, the depository for the global security or its nominee will credit on its book-entry registration and transfer system the respective principal amounts of the individual securities represented by that global security to the accounts of persons that have accounts with such depository, who are called &#8220;participants.&#8221; Those accounts will be designated by the underwriters, dealers or agents with respect to the securities or by us if the securities are offered and sold directly by us. Ownership of beneficial interests in a global security will be limited to the depository&#8217;s participants or persons that may hold interests through those participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in the global security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by the applicable depository or its nominee (with respect to beneficial interests of participants) and records of the participants (with respect to beneficial interests of persons who hold through participants). The laws of some states require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities in definitive form. These limits and laws may impair the ability to own, pledge or transfer beneficial interest in a global security. </font>

Except as provided below or in the applicable prospectus supplement, owners of beneficial interest in a global security will not be entitled to have any of the individual securities of the series represented by that global security registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of any such securities in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or holders of that security under the applicable indenture or other instrument defining the rights of the holders of the securities. </font>

None of us, our officers and directors or any trustee, paying agent or security registrar for an individual series of securities will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the global security for such securities or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to those beneficial ownership interests. </font>

We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in that global security held through those participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, </font>

Control shares do not include shares the acquiring person is then entitled to vote as a result of having previously obtained stockholder approval.

Through provisions in our charter and bylaws unrelated to Subtitle 8, we already require that the number of directors be fixed only by our board of directors and require, unless called by the Chairman of our board of directors, our president or chief executive officer or a majority of our board of directors, the written request of stockholders entitled to cast not less than a majority of all votes entitled to be cast at such meeting to call a special meeting. Our charter includes a provision prohibiting our Board from making any of the elections provided for under Subtitle 8. Consequently, we are unable to make any of the elections under Title 8 unless we later amend our charter, with stockholder approval, to modify or eliminate this provision. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">The partnership agreement provides that we may make additional capital contributions, including properties, to the partnership in exchange for additional partnership&#160;units. If we contribute additional capital to the partnership and receive additional partnership interests for such capital contribution, our&#160;percentage interests will be increased on a proportionate basis based on the amount of such additional capital contributions and the value of the partnership at the time of such contributions. Conversely, the&#160;percentage interests of the other limited partners will be decreased on a proportionate basis. In addition, if we contribute additional capital to the partnership and receive additional partnership interests for such capital contribution, the capital accounts of the partners will be adjusted upward or downward to reflect any unrealized gain or loss attributable to our properties as if there were an actual sale of such properties at the fair market value thereof. Limited partners have no preemptive right to make additional capital contributions. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Under the partnership agreement, we have granted to each limited partner holding common&#160;units (other than our subsidiary) the right to redeem its limited partnership&#160;units. This right may be exercised at the election of a limited partner by giving us written notice, subject to some limitations. The purchase price for the limited partnership&#160;units to be redeemed will equal the fair market value of our common stock adjusted by a conversion factor, as determined in the partnership agreement. The purchase price for the limited partnership&#160;units may be paid in cash, or, in our discretion, by the issuance by us of a number of shares of our common stock equal to the number of limited partnership&#160;units with respect to which the rights are being exercised. However, no limited partner will be entitled to exercise its redemption rights to the extent that the issuance of common stock to the redeeming partner would be prohibited under our charter or, if after giving effect to such exercise, would cause any person to own, actually or constructively, more than 9.8% of our common stock, unless such ownership limit is waived by us in our sole discretion. </font>

LTIP units vest over a number of&#160;years and whether vested or not, generally receive the same treatment as common&#160;units of our operating partnership, with the key difference being, at the time of the award, LTIP units do not have full economic parity with common&#160;units but can achieve such parity over time. The LTIP units will achieve parity with the common&#160;units upon the sale or deemed sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the partnership at a time when our stock is trading at some level in excess of the price it was trading at on the date of the LTIP issuance. More specifically, LTIP units will achieve full economic parity with common&#160;units in connection with (i)&#160;the actual sale of all or substantially all of the assets of our operating partnership or (ii)&#160;the hypothetical sale of such assets, which results from a capital account revaluation, as defined in the partnership agreement, for the operating partnership. A capital account revaluation generally occurs whenever there is an issuance of additional partnership interests or the redemption of partnership interests. If a sale, or deemed sale as a result of a capital account revaluation, occurs at a time when the operating partnership&#8217;s assets have sufficiently appreciated, the LTIP units will achieve full economic parity with the common&#160;units. However, in the absence of sufficient appreciation in the value of the assets of the operating partnership at the time a sale or deemed sale occurs, full economic parity would not be reached. If such parity is reached, vested LTIP units become convertible into an equal number of common&#160;units and at that time, the holder will have the redemption rights described above. Until and unless such parity is reached, the LTIP units are not redeemable. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the U.S. federal income tax laws. We believe that, commencing with our short year ending December&#160;31, 2003, we have been organized and operated in such a manner as to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Code, and we intend to continue to operate in such a manner, but no assurance can be given that we will operate in a manner so as to continue to qualify as a REIT. This section discusses the laws governing the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a REIT and its investors. These laws are highly technical and complex. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">In connection with this the filing of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, O&#8217;Melveny &amp; Myers LLP has issued an opinion to us to the effect that, commencing with our short year ended December&#160;31, 2003, we have been organized and operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification as a REIT, and our organization and current and proposed method of operation will enable us to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code for our taxable year ending December&#160;31, 2025 and thereafter. Investors should be aware that O&#8217;Melveny &amp; Myers LLP&#8217;s opinion is based upon customary assumptions, is conditioned upon the accuracy of certain representations made by us as to factual matters, including representations regarding the nature of our properties and the prior and future conduct of our business, is conditioned upon the accuracy of certain representations made by Braemar Hotels &amp; Resorts Inc. as to factual matters, including representations regarding its organization and operation, for its taxable year ended December&#160;31, 2013, is conditioned upon the accuracy of certain representations made by Ashford Inc. as to factual matters, and is not binding upon the IRS or any court. In addition, O&#8217;Melveny &amp; Myers LLP&#8217;s opinion is based on existing federal income tax law governing qualification as a REIT as of the date of the opinion, which is subject to change either prospectively or retroactively. Moreover, our continued 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 include the&#160;percentage of income that we earn from specified sources, the&#160;percentage of our assets that falls within specified categories, the diversity of our share ownership, and the&#160;percentage of our earnings that we distribute. While O&#8217;Melveny &amp; Myers LLP has reviewed those matters in connection with its opinion, O&#8217;Melveny &amp; Myers LLP will not review our compliance with those tests on a continuing basis. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the actual results of our operations for any particular taxable year will satisfy such requirements. O&#8217;Melveny &amp; Myers LLP&#8217;s opinion will not foreclose the possibility that we may have to use one or more REIT savings provisions discussed below, which could require us to pay an excise or penalty tax (which could be material) in order for us to maintain our REIT qualification. For a discussion of the tax consequences of our failure to qualify as a REIT, see &#8220;&#8212; Failure to Qualify.&#8221; </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">If we qualify as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the taxable income that we distribute to our stockholders. The benefit of that tax treatment is that it avoids the &#8220;double taxation,&#8221; or taxation at both the corporate and stockholder levels, that generally results from owning stock in a C corporation. However, we will be subject to federal tax in the following circumstances: </font>

If we comply with all the requirements for ascertaining the ownership of our outstanding shares in a taxable year and have no reason to know that we violated requirement 6, we will be deemed to have satisfied requirement 6 for such taxable year. For purposes of determining share ownership under requirement 6, an &#8220;individual&#8221; generally includes a supplemental unemployment compensation benefits plan, a private foundation, or a portion of a trust permanently set aside or used exclusively for charitable purposes. An &#8220;individual,&#8221; however, generally does not include a trust that is a qualified employee pension or profit sharing trust under the U.S. federal income tax laws, and beneficiaries of such a trust will be treated as holding shares of our stock in proportion to their actuarial interests in the trust for purposes of requirement 6. Requirements 5 and 6 applied to us beginning with our taxable year ended December&#160;31, 2004. </font>

We have issued sufficient stock with enough diversity of ownership to satisfy requirements 5 and 6 set forth above. In addition, our Charter restricts the ownership and transfer of our stock so that we should continue to satisfy requirements 5 and 6. The provisions of our Charter restricting the ownership and transfer of the stock are described in &#8220;Description of Our Capital Stock&#8201;&#8212;&#8201;Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer.&#8221; These restrictions, however, may not ensure that we will, in all cases, be able to satisfy such stock ownership requirements.

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">A corporation that is a &#8220;qualified REIT subsidiary&#8221; is not treated as a corporation separate from its parent REIT. All assets, liabilities, and items of income, deduction, and credit of a &#8220;qualified REIT subsidiary&#8221; are treated as assets, liabilities, and items of income, deduction, and credit of the REIT. A &#8220;qualified REIT subsidiary&#8221; is a corporation, other than a TRS, all of the capital stock of which is owned by the REIT. Thus, in applying the requirements described in this section, any &#8220;qualified REIT subsidiary&#8221; that we own will be ignored, and all assets, liabilities, and items of income, deduction, and credit of that subsidiary will be treated as our assets, liabilities, and items of income, deduction, and credit. Similarly, any wholly-owned limited liability company or certain wholly-owned partnerships that we own will be disregarded, and all assets, liabilities and items of income, deduction and credit of such limited liability company will be treated as ours. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">unincorporated domestic entity with two or more owners is generally treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In the case of a REIT that is a partner in a partnership that has other partners, the REIT is treated as owning its proportionate share of the assets of the partnership and as earning its allocable share of the gross income of the partnership for purposes of the applicable REIT qualification tests. For purposes of the 10% value test (as described below under &#8220;&#8212; Asset Tests&#8221;), our proportionate share is based on our proportionate interest in the equity interests and certain debt securities issued by the partnership. For all of the other asset and income tests, our proportionate share is based on our proportionate interest in the capital interests in the partnership. Our proportionate share of the assets, liabilities, and items of income of our operating partnership and of any other partnership, joint venture, or limited liability company that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes in which we own or will acquire an interest, directly or indirectly (each, a &#8220;Partnership&#8221; and, together, the &#8220;Partnerships&#8221;), are treated as our assets and gross income for purposes of applying the various REIT qualification requirements. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">We may in the future acquire interests in partnerships and limited liability companies that are joint ventures in which we do not own general partner or managing member interests. If a partnership or limited liability company in which we own an interest takes or expects to take actions that could jeopardize our qualification as a REIT or require us to pay tax, we may be forced to dispose of our interest in such entity. In addition, it is possible that a partnership or limited liability company could take an action which could cause us to fail a REIT gross income or asset test, and that we would not become aware of such action in time to dispose of our interest in the partnership or limited liability company or take other corrective action on a timely basis. In that case, we could fail to qualify as a REIT unless we are able to qualify for a statutory REIT &#8220;savings&#8221; provision, which may require us to pay a significant penalty tax to maintain our REIT qualification. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Subject to restrictions on the value of TRS securities held by the REIT, a REIT is permitted to own up to 100% of the stock of one or more TRSs. A TRS is a fully taxable corporation and is required to pay regular U.S. federal income tax, and state and local income tax where applicable, as a non-REIT &#8220;C&#8221; corporation. In addition, a TRS may be prevented from deducting interest on debt funded directly or indirectly by us if certain tests are not satisfied, as described below in &#8220;&#8212; Interest Deduction Limitation.&#8221; The TRS 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 be automatically treated as a TRS. A TRS may not directly or indirectly operate or manage any hotels or health care facilities or provide rights to any brand name under which any hotel or health care facility is operated but is permitted to lease hotels from a related REIT as long as the hotels are operated on behalf of the TRS by an &#8220;eligible independent contractor.&#8221; Overall, no more than 20% of the value of a REIT&#8217;s assets may consist of TRS securities. A timely election has been made with respect to each of our TRSs. Each of our hotel properties is leased by one of our TRSs, except that one or more of our TRSs may own a hotel or hotels. Additionally, we may form or acquire one or more additional TRSs in the future. See the separate section below entitled &#8220;Taxable REIT Subsidiaries.&#8221; </font>

First, at least 75% of our gross income for each taxable year must consist of defined types of income that we derive, directly or indirectly, from investments relating to real property or mortgages on real property or qualified temporary investment income. Qualifying income for purposes of that 75% gross income test generally includes: </font>

Gross income from our sale of any property that we hold primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business and cancellation of indebtedness, or COD, income is excluded from both income tests. Certain foreign currency gains will be excluded from gross income for purposes of one or both of the gross income tests, as discussed below in &#8220;&#8212; Foreign Currency Gain.&#8221; In addition, income and gain from &#8220;hedging transactions,&#8221; as defined in the section below entitled &#8220;&#8212; Hedging Transactions,&#8221; that we enter into, or have entered into, will be excluded from both the numerator and the denominator for purposes of the 95% gross income test and the 75% gross income test. Rules similar to those applicable to income from &#8220;hedging transactions&#8221; apply to income arising from transactions that we enter into, or have entered into, primarily to manage risk of currency fluctuations with respect to any item of income or gain included in the computation of the 95% income test or the 75% income test (or any property which generates such income or gain). The following paragraphs discuss the specific application of the gross income tests to us. </font>

However, we need not provide services through an &#8220;independent contractor,&#8221; but instead may provide services directly to our tenants, if the services are &#8220;usually or customarily rendered&#8221; in the geographic area in connection with the rental of space for occupancy only and are not considered to be provided for the tenants&#8217; convenience. In addition, we may provide a minimal amount of &#8220;non-customary&#8221; services to the tenants of a property, other than through an independent contractor, as long as our income from the services (valued at not less than 150% of our direct cost of performing such services) does not exceed 1% of our income from the related property. Furthermore, we may own up to 100% of the stock of a TRS which may provide customary and non-customary services to our tenants without tainting our rental income from the related properties.

If the&#160;percentage leases are characterized as service contracts or partnership agreements, rather than as true leases, part or all of the payments that the Partnerships receive from our TRSs may not be considered rent or may not otherwise satisfy the various requirements for qualification as &#8220;rents from real property.&#8221; In that case, we likely would not be able to satisfy either the 75% or 95% gross income test and, as a result, would lose our REIT status. As described above, in order for the rent received by us to constitute &#8220;rents from real property,&#8221; several other requirements must be satisfied. One requirement is that the&#160;percentage rent must not be based in whole or in part on the income or profits of any person. The&#160;percentage rent, however, will qualify as &#8220;rents from real property&#8221; if it is based on&#160;percentages of gross receipts or gross sales and the&#160;percentages: </font>

Since the&#160;percentage rent is based on fixed&#160;percentages of the gross revenues from the hotels that are established in the&#160;percentage leases, and we believe (and have represented to O&#8217;Melveny &amp; Myers LLP in connection with its opinion) that the&#160;percentages (1)&#160;will not be renegotiated during the terms of the&#160;percentage </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">leases in a manner that has the effect of basing the&#160;percentage rent on income or profits and (2)&#160;conform with normal business practice, the&#160;percentage rent should not be considered based in whole or in part on the income or profits of any person. Furthermore, we anticipate (and have represented to O&#8217;Melveny &amp; Myers LLP in connection with its opinion) that, with respect to other hotel properties that we acquire in the future, we will not charge rent for any property that is based in whole or in part on the income or profits of any person, except by reason of being based on a fixed&#160;percentage of gross receipts or gross sales, as described above. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Another requirement for qualification of our rent as &#8220;rents from real property&#8221; is that we must not own, actually or constructively, 10% or more by vote or value of the stock of any corporate lessee or 10% or more by vote or value of the assets or net profits of any non-corporate lessee (a &#8220;related party tenant&#8221;) other than a TRS. All of our hotels are leased to TRSs (other than those owned by a TRS). In addition, our Charter prohibits transfers of our stock that would cause us to own actually or constructively, 10% or more by vote or value of the ownership interests in any non-TRS lessee. Based on the foregoing, we should never own, actually or constructively, 10% or more by vote or value of any lessee other than a TRS. However, because the constructive ownership rules are broad and it is not possible to monitor continually direct and indirect transfers of our stock, no absolute assurance can be given that such transfers or other events of which we have no knowledge will not cause us to own constructively 10% or more by vote or value of a lessee (or a subtenant, in which case only rent attributable to the subtenant is disqualified) other than a TRS at some future date. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">As described above, we may own up to 100% of the capital stock of one or more TRSs. A TRS is a fully taxable corporation that generally may engage in any business, including the provision of customary or non-customary services to tenants of its parent REIT, except that a TRS may not directly or indirectly operate or manage any lodging facilities or health care facilities or provide rights to any brand name under which any lodging or health care facility is operated, unless such rights are provided to an &#8220;eligible independent contractor&#8221; to operate or manage a lodging or health care facility if such rights are held by the TRS as a franchisee, licensee, or in a similar capacity and such hotel is either owned by the TRS or leased to the TRS by its parent REIT. A TRS will not be considered to operate or manage a qualified lodging facility solely because the TRS directly or indirectly possesses a license, permit, or similar instrument enabling it to do so. Additionally, a TRS that employs individuals working at a qualified lodging facility outside the United States will not be considered to operate or manage a qualified lodging facility located outside of the United States, as long as an &#8220;eligible independent contractor&#8221; is responsible for the daily supervision and direction of such individuals on behalf of the TRS pursuant to a management agreement or similar service contract. However, rent that we receive from a TRS with respect to any property will qualify as &#8220;rents from real property&#8221; as long as the property is a &#8220;qualified lodging facility&#8221; and such property is operated on behalf of the TRS by a person from whom we derive no income who is adequately compensated, who does not, directly or through its stockholders, own more than 35% of our shares, taking into account certain ownership attribution rules, and who is, or is related to a person who is, actively engaged in the trade or business of operating &#8220;qualified lodging facilities&#8221; for any person unrelated to us and the TRS lessee (an &#8220;eligible independent contractor&#8221;). A &#8220;qualified lodging facility&#8221; is a hotel, motel, or other establishment more than one-half of the dwelling&#160;units in which are used on a transient basis, unless wagering activities are conducted at or in connection with such facility by any person who is engaged in the business of accepting wagers and who is legally authorized to engage in such business at or in connection with such facility. A &#8220;qualified lodging facility&#8221; includes customary amenities and facilities operated as part of, or associated with, the lodging facility as long as such amenities and facilities are customary for other properties of a comparable size and class owned by other unrelated owners.

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 </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">at the end of such taxable year (the &#8220;personal property ratio&#8221;). With respect to each hotel, we believe either that the personal property ratio is less than 15% or that any income 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 95% or 75% gross income test and thus lose our REIT status. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">A fourth requirement for qualification of our rent as &#8220;rents from real property&#8221; is that, other than within the 1% de minimis exception described above (i.e., we may provide a minimal amount of &#8220;non-customary&#8221; services to the tenants of a property, other than through a TRS or an independent contractor, as long as our income from the services does not exceed 1% of our income from the related property) and other than through a TRS, we cannot furnish or render noncustomary services to the tenants of our hotels, or manage or operate our hotels, other than through an independent contractor who is adequately compensated and from whom we do not derive or receive any income. Provided that the&#160;percentage leases are respected as true leases, we should satisfy that requirement, because the Partnerships will not perform any services other than customary services for our TRSs. Furthermore, we have represented that, with respect to other hotel properties that we acquire in the future, we will not perform noncustomary services for our TRSs. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">If a portion of our rent from a hotel does not qualify as &#8220;rents from real property&#8221; because the rent attributable to personal property exceeds 15% of the total rent for a taxable year, the portion of the rent that is attributable to personal property will not be qualifying income for purposes of either the 75% or 95% gross income test. Thus, if such rent attributable to personal property, plus any other income that is nonqualifying income for purposes of the 95% gross income test, during a taxable year exceeds 5% of our gross income during the year, we would lose our REIT status. If, however, the rent from a particular hotel does not qualify as &#8220;rents from real property&#8221; because either (1)&#160;the&#160;percentage rent is considered based on the income or profits of the related lessee, (2)&#160;the lessee is a related party tenant other than a TRS, or (3)&#160;we furnish noncustomary services to the tenants of the hotel, or manage or operate the hotel, other than through a qualifying independent contractor or a TRS, none of the rent from that hotel would qualify as &#8220;rents from real property.&#8221; </font>

        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:8pt; width:456pt; line-height:11.5pt;">
          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">In that case, we likely would be unable to satisfy either the 75% or 95% gross income test and, as a result, would lose our REIT status. However, in either situation, we may still qualify as a REIT if the relief described below under &#8220;&#8212; Failure to Satisfy Gross Income Tests&#8221; is available to us. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">In addition to the rent, our TRSs are required to pay to the Partnerships certain additional charges. To the extent that such additional charges represent either (1)&#160;reimbursements of amounts that the Partnerships are obligated to pay to third parties or (2)&#160;penalties for nonpayment or late payment of such amounts, such charges should qualify as &#8220;rents from real property.&#8221; However, to the extent that such charges represent interest that is accrued on the late payment of the rent or additional charges, such charges will not qualify as &#8220;rents from real property,&#8221; but instead should be treated as interest that qualifies for the 95% gross income test. </font>

          <font style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.2pt;">Interest</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The term &#8220;interest,&#8221; as defined for purposes of both the 75% and 95% gross income tests, generally does not include any amount received or accrued, directly or indirectly, if the determination of such amount depends in whole or in part on the income or profits of any person. However, interest generally includes the following: (i)&#160;an amount that is based on a fixed&#160;percentage or&#160;percentages of receipts or sales, and (ii)&#160;an amount that is based on the income or profits of a debtor, as long as the debtor derives substantially all of its income from the real property securing the debt from leasing substantially all of its interest in the property, and only to the extent that the amounts received by the debtor would be qualifying &#8220;rents from real property&#8221; if received directly by a REIT. Furthermore, to the extent that interest from a loan that is based on the residual cash proceeds from the sale of the property securing the loan constitutes a &#8220;shared appreciation provision,&#8221; income attributable to such participation feature will be treated as gain from the sale of the secured property. </font>

Real estate foreign exchange gain generally includes foreign currency gain attributable to any item of income or gain that is qualifying income for purposes of the 75% gross income test, foreign currency gain attributable to the acquisition or ownership of (or becoming or being the obligor under) obligations secured by mortgages on real property or on interest in real property and certain foreign currency gain attributable to certain &#8220;qualified business&#160;units&#8221; of a REIT. &#8220;Passive foreign exchange gain&#8221; is excluded from gross income for purposes of the 95% gross income test. Passive foreign 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 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. </font>

Whether a REIT holds an asset &#8220;primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business&#8221; depends on the facts and circumstances in effect from time to time, including those related to a particular asset. We believe that none of the assets owned by the Partnerships is held primarily for sale to customers and that a sale of any such asset would not be to a customer in the ordinary course of the owning entity&#8217;s business. There are safe-harbor provisions in the U.S. federal income tax laws prescribing when an asset sale will not be characterized as a prohibited transaction. We cannot provide assurance, however, that we can comply with such safe-harbor provisions or that the Partnerships will avoid owning property that may be characterized as property held &#8220;primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business.&#8221; </font>

          <font style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.2pt;">Hedging Transactions</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;From time to time, we may enter into hedging transactions with respect to one or more of our assets or liabilities. Our hedging activities may include entering into interest rate swaps, caps, floors, options to purchase such items, futures and forward contracts. To the extent that we enter into hedging transactions, income arising from &#8220;clearly identified&#8221; hedging transactions that are entered into by the REIT in the normal course of business, either directly or through certain subsidiary entities, to manage the risk of interest rate movements, price changes, or currency fluctuations with respect to borrowings or obligations incurred or to be incurred by the REIT to acquire or carry real estate assets is excluded from the 95% income test and the 75% income test. In general, for a hedging transaction to be &#8220;clearly identified,&#8221; (A)&#160;the transaction must be identified as a hedging transaction before the end of the day on which it is entered into, and (B)&#160;the items or risks being hedged must be identified &#8220;substantially contemporaneously&#8221; with the hedging transaction, meaning that the identification of the items or risks being hedged must generally occur within 35&#160;days after the date the transaction is entered into. Rules similar to those applicable to income from hedging transactions, discussed above, apply to income arising from transactions that are entered into by the REIT primarily to manage risk of currency fluctuations with respect to any item of income or gain included in the computation of the 95% income test or the 75% income test (or any property which generates such income or gain). In addition, similar rules apply to income from positions that primarily manage risk with respect to a prior hedge entered into by a REIT in connection with the extinguishment or disposal (in whole or in part) of the liability or asset related to such prior hedge, to the extent the new position qualifies as a hedge or would so qualify if the hedge position were ordinary property. We intend to structure any hedging transactions in a manner that does not jeopardize our status as a REIT. The REIT income and asset rules may limit our ability to hedge loans or securities acquired as investments. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">It is possible that, from time to time, we may experience timing differences between (1)&#160;the actual receipt of income and actual payment of deductible expenses, and (2)&#160;the inclusion of that income and deduction of such expenses in arriving at our REIT taxable income. For example, under some of the&#160;percentage leases, the&#160;percentage rent is not due until after the end of the calendar quarter. In that case, we still would be required to recognize as income the excess of the&#160;percentage rent over the base rent paid by the lessee in the calendar quarter to which such excess relates. In addition, we may not deduct recognized net capital losses from our &#8220;REIT taxable income.&#8221; Further, it is possible that, from time to time, we may be allocated a share of gain attributable to the sale of depreciated property that exceeds our allocable share of cash attributable to that sale. Furthermore, subject to certain exceptions, we must accrue income for U.S. federal income tax purposes no later than the time when such income is taken into account as revenue in our financial statements, which could create additional differences between REIT taxable income and the receipt of cash attributable to such income. As a result of the foregoing, we may have less cash than is necessary to distribute all of our taxable income and thereby avoid corporate income tax and the excise tax imposed on certain undistributed income. In such a situation, we may need to borrow funds or issue additional common or preferred shares. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">We may satisfy the REIT annual distribution requirements by making taxable distributions of our stock. In accordance with guidance issued by the IRS, a publicly traded REIT should generally be eligible to treat a distribution of its own stock as fulfilling its REIT distribution requirements if each stockholder is permitted to elect to receive his or her distribution in either cash or stock of the REIT (even where there is a limitation on the&#160;percentage of the distribution payable in cash, provided that the limitation is at least 20%), subject to the satisfaction of certain guidelines. If too many stockholders elect to receive cash, each stockholder electing to receive cash generally must receive a portion of his or her distribution in cash (with the balance of the distribution paid in stock). If these and certain other requirements are met, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the amount of the distribution paid in stock generally will be a taxable distribution in an amount equal to the amount of cash that could have been received instead of stock. As a result, a U.S. holder (as defined below) may be required to pay tax with respect to such dividends in excess of any cash received. With respect to non-U.S. holders (as defined below), we may be required to withhold U.S. tax with respect to such dividends, including in respect of all or a portion of such dividend that is payable in stock. We currently do not intend to pay taxable dividends payable in cash and stock. </font>

For taxable&#160;years beginning after December&#160;31, 2014, preferential dividends are generally not excluded from our distribution requirement. </font>

Although we may be able to avoid income tax on amounts distributed as deficiency dividends, we will be required to pay interest to the IRS based upon the amount of any deduction we take for deficiency dividends. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">If we were to fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, and no relief provision applied, we would be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and any applicable alternative minimum tax. In calculating our taxable income in a year in which we failed to qualify as a REIT, we would not be able to deduct amounts paid out to stockholders with respect to our stock. In fact, we would not be required to distribute any amounts to stockholders in such year. In such event, to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, all distributions to stockholders would be taxable as regular corporate dividends. If we fail to qualify as a REIT, for taxable&#160;years beginning after December&#160;31, 2017 and before January&#160;1, 2026, U.S. holders that are individuals, trusts or estates would not be able to deduct 20% of the aggregate amount of ordinary dividends distributed by us, subject to certain limitations. Subject to certain limitations of the U.S. federal income tax laws, corporate stockholders might be eligible for the dividends received deduction and individual and certain non-corporate trust and estate stockholders may be eligible for a reduced maximum U.S. federal income tax rate of 20% on such dividends. Unless we qualified for relief under specific statutory provisions, we also would be disqualified from taxation as a REIT for the four taxable&#160;years following the year during which we ceased to qualify as a REIT. We cannot predict whether in all circumstances we would qualify for such statutory relief. </font>

In addition, dividends paid to an individual U.S. holder generally will not qualify for the reduced rate of U.S. federal income tax applicable to &#8220;qualified dividend income.&#8221; Qualified dividend income generally includes dividends from most U.S. corporations but does not generally include REIT dividends. As a result, our ordinary REIT dividends generally will continue to be taxed at the U.S. federal income tax rate applicable to ordinary income. However, for taxable&#160;years beginning before January&#160;1, 2026, generally U.S. holders that are individuals, trusts or estates may deduct 20% of the aggregate amount of ordinary dividends distributed by us, subject to certain limitations. Notwithstanding the preceding, the U.S. federal income tax rate for qualified dividend income will apply to our ordinary REIT dividends, if any, that are (1)&#160;attributable to dividends received by us from non-REIT corporations, such as our TRSs, and (2)&#160;attributable to income upon which we have paid corporate U.S. federal income tax (e.g., to the extent that we distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income). In general, to qualify for the reduced U.S. federal income tax rate on qualified dividend income, a U.S. holder must hold our stock for more than 60&#160;days during the 121-day period beginning on the date that is 60&#160;days before the date on which our stock becomes ex-dividend. </font>

The U.S. holder would be entitled to a credit or refund for its proportionate share of the U.S. federal income tax we paid.

To the extent that we make a distribution in excess of both our current and accumulated earnings and profits and the U.S. holder&#8217;s adjusted tax basis in its stock, such U.S. holder will recognize long-term capital gain, or short-term capital gain if the stock has been held for one year or less. The IRS has ruled that if total distributions for two or more classes of stock are in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, dividends must be treated as having been distributed to those stockholders having a priority under the corporate charter before any distribution to stockholders with lesser priority. If we declare a dividend in October, November, or December of any year that is payable to a U.S. holder of record on a specified date in any such month, such dividend shall be treated as both paid by us and received by the U.S. holder on December&#160;31 of such year, if we actually pay the dividend during January of the following calendar year. </font>

          <font style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.2pt;">Capital Gains and Losses</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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 treated as long-term capital gain or loss. In general, a U.S. holder will realize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the sum of the fair market value of any property and the amount of cash received in such disposition and the U.S. holder&#8217;s adjusted tax basis. A U.S. holder&#8217;s adjusted tax basis generally will equal the U.S. holder&#8217;s acquisition cost, increased by the excess of net capital gains deemed distributed to the U.S. holder (discussed above) less tax deemed paid on such gains and reduced by any returns of capital. In general, the maximum U.S. federal income tax rate on long-term capital gain applicable to non-corporate taxpayers is 20% for sales and exchanges of assets held for more than one year. The maximum U.S. federal income tax rate on long-term capital gain from the sale or exchange of &#8220;section 1250 property,&#8221; or depreciable real property, is 25% to the extent that such gain, not otherwise treated as ordinary, would have been treated as ordinary income if the property were &#8220;section 1245 property.&#8221; With respect to distributions that we designate as capital gain dividends and any retained capital gain that we are deemed to distribute, we generally may designate whether such a distribution is taxable to our non-corporate stockholders at a 20% or 25% U.S. federal income tax rate. 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 U.S. federal income tax on its net capital gain at ordinary corporate U.S. federal income tax rates. A corporate taxpayer may deduct capital losses only to the extent of capital gains, with unused losses being carried back three&#160;years and forward five&#160;years. </font>

Net investment income generally includes dividend income and net gains from the disposition of stock, unless such dividend income or net gains are derived in the ordinary course of the conduct of a trade or business (other than a trade or business that consists of certain passive or trading activities). With respect to ordinary REIT dividends received by non-corporate taxpayers, the temporary 20% deduction described above in &#8220;&#8212; Distributions.&#8221; is allowed only for regular income tax purposes and thus is apparently not allowed as a deduction allocable to such dividends for purposes of determining the amount of net investment income subject to the 3.8% Medicare tax. A U.S. holder that is an individual, estate or trust, should consult its tax advisor regarding the applicability of the Medicare tax to its income and gains in respect of its investment in our capital stock. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">taxation on their unrelated business taxable income. While many investments in real estate generate unrelated business taxable income, the IRS has issued a published ruling that dividend distributions from a REIT to an exempt employee pension trust do not constitute unrelated business taxable income, provided that the exempt employee pension trust does not otherwise use the shares of the REIT in an unrelated trade or business of the pension trust. Based on that ruling, amounts that we distribute to tax-exempt stockholders generally should not constitute unrelated business taxable income. However, if a tax-exempt stockholder were to finance its acquisition of our stock with debt, a portion of the income that it receives from us would constitute unrelated business taxable income pursuant to the &#8220;debt-financed property&#8221; rules. Furthermore, certain entities that are exempt from taxation under special provisions of the U.S. federal income tax laws are subject to different unrelated business taxable income rules, which generally will require them to characterize distributions that they receive from us as unrelated business taxable income. Finally, if we are a &#8220;pension-held REIT,&#8221; a qualified employee pension or profit sharing trust that owns more than 10% of our shares of stock is required to treat a&#160;percentage of the dividends that it receives from us as unrelated business taxable income. That&#160;percentage is equal to the gross income that 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 stock only if: </font>

A non-U.S. holder will be subject to tax on a distribution that exceeds both our current and accumulated earnings and profits and the adjusted basis of its stock, if the non-U.S. holder otherwise would be subject to tax on gain from the sale or disposition of its stock, as described below. If we cannot determine at the time we make a distribution whether or not the distribution will exceed our current and accumulated earnings and profits, we will treat the entire amount of any distribution as a taxable dividend.

A &#8220;qualified shareholder&#8221; is generally defined as a foreign person that (i)&#160;is eligible for benefits of an income tax treaty with the United States and the principal class of interests of which is listed and regularly traded on one or more recognized stock exchanges, or is a foreign partnership that is created or organized under foreign law as a limited partnership in a jurisdiction that has an agreement for the exchange of information with respect to taxes with the United States and has a class of limited partnership&#160;units which is regularly traded on the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq Stock Market and such class of limited partnership&#160;units&#8217; value is greater than 50% of the value of all the partnership&#160;units; (ii)&#160;is a &#8220;qualified collective investment vehicle,&#8221; and (iii)&#160;maintains records on the identity of each person who, at any time during the foreign person&#8217;s taxable year, holds directly 5% or more of the class of interest described in clause (i)&#160;above. The benefits of the qualified shareholder exception do not apply to the extent of the ownership in that shareholder of an &#8220;applicable investor,&#8221; generally defined as a more than 10% owner of the REIT on a look-through basis, taking into account all interests held by such applicable investor in the REIT. Any distribution to a qualified shareholder shall not be treated as an effectively connected income distribution to the extent that stock held by such qualified shareholder is not treated as a United States real property interest as provided in an exception described in this section. Consequently, although we intend to withhold at a rate of 30% on the entire amount of any distribution, to the extent that we do not do so, we may withhold at a rate of 15% on any portion of a distribution not subject to withholding at a rate of 30%. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">For any year in which we qualify as a REIT, a non-U.S. holder (other than certain qualified foreign pension funds) may incur tax on distributions that are attributable (or deemed so attributable pursuant to applicable Treasury regulations) to gain from our sale or exchange of &#8220;United States real property interests&#8221; under special provisions of the U.S. federal income tax laws referred to as &#8220;FIRPTA.&#8221; The term &#8220;United States real property interests&#8221; includes certain interests in real property and stock in corporations at least 50% of whose assets consists of interests in real property. Under those rules, a non-U.S. holder is generally taxed on distributions attributable (or deemed attributable) to gain from sales of United States real property interests as if such gain were effectively connected with a United States business of the non-U.S. holder. A non-U.S. holder thus would be taxed on such a distribution at the normal rates, including applicable capital gains rates, applicable to U.S. holders, subject to applicable alternative minimum tax and a special alternative minimum tax in the case of a nonresident alien individual. A non-U.S. corporate holder not entitled to treaty relief or exemption also may be subject to the 30% branch profits tax on such a distribution. Except as described below with respect to regularly traded stock, we must withhold 21% of any distribution that we could designate as a capital gain dividend.

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">liability for the amount we withhold. Any distribution with respect to any class of stock which is regularly traded on an established securities market located in the United States, will not be treated as gain recognized from the sale or exchange of a United States real property interest if the non-U.S. holder did not own more than 10% of such class of stock at any time during the one-year period preceding the date of the distribution. As a result, non-U.S. holders generally will be subject to withholding tax on such capital gain distributions in the same manner as they are subject to withholding tax on ordinary dividends. We anticipate that each class of our capital stock will be regularly traded on an established securities market in the United States following this offering. If a class of our capital stock is not regularly traded on an established securities market in the United States or the non-U.S. holder owned more than 10% of such class of stock at any time during the one-year period preceding the date of the distribution, capital gain distributions with respect to that class of capital that are attributable to our sale of real property would be subject to tax under FIRPTA, as described above unless otherwise excepted. Moreover, if a non-U.S. holder owning more than 5% of a class of our capital stock disposes of such stock during the 30-day period preceding the ex-dividend date of a dividend, and such non-U.S. holder (or a person related to such non-U.S. holder) acquires or enters into a contract or option to acquire our capital stock within 61&#160;days of the first day of the 30-day period described above, and any portion of such dividend payment would, but for the disposition, be treated as a United States real property interest capital gain to such non-U.S. holder, then such non-U.S. holder will be treated as having United States real property interest capital gain in an amount that, but for the disposition, would have been treated as United States real property interest capital gain. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Subject to the exceptions described in this section, non-U.S. holders (other than certain qualified foreign pension funds) could incur tax under FIRPTA with respect to gain realized upon a disposition of shares of a class of our capital stock if shares of such class of our capital stock are United States real property interests. Generally, shares of a United States real property holding corporation are United States real property interests. If at least 50% of a REIT&#8217;s assets are United States real property interests, then the REIT will be a United States real property holding corporation. We anticipate that we will be a United States real property holding corporation based on our investment strategy. However, even if we are a United States real property holding corporation, shares of our capital stock will not be treated as United States real property interests and a non-U.S. holder generally will not incur tax under FIRPTA with respect to gain realized upon a disposition of shares of our capital stock as long as we are a &#8220;domestically-controlled qualified investment entity.&#8221; A domestically-controlled qualified investment entity includes a REIT in which, at all times during a specified testing period, less than 50% in value of its shares are held directly or indirectly by non-U.S. holders. We cannot assure you that that test will be met. However, even if we are not a domestically controlled qualified investment entity, shares of our capital stock will not be treated as United States real property interests and a non-U.S. holder generally will not incur tax under FIRPTA with respect to gain realized upon a disposition of shares of our capital stock, if such non-U.S. holder owned, actually or constructively, 10% or less of a class of our capital stock, at all times during a specified testing period if the class of capital stock is &#8220;regularly traded&#8221; on an established securities market, or, if such non-U.S. holder is a &#8220;qualified shareholder&#8221; &#8203;(to the extent not allocable to an applicable investor). If the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our capital stock were subject to taxation under FIRPTA, and if shares of the applicable class of our capital stock were not &#8220;regularly traded&#8221; on an established securities market, the purchaser of such capital stock would be required to withhold and remit to the IRS 15% of the purchase price. If the gain on the sale of the capital stock were taxed under FIRPTA, a non-U.S. holder would be taxed in the same manner as U.S. holders with respect to such gain, subject to applicable alternative minimum tax and a special alternative minimum tax in the case of nonresident alien individuals. Furthermore, a non-U.S. holder generally will incur tax on gain not subject to FIRPTA if (1)&#160;the gain is effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder&#8217;s U.S. trade or business, in which case the non-U.S. holder will be subject to the same treatment as U.S. holders with respect to such gain, or (2)&#160;the non-U.S. holder is a </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">The payment of the proceeds from the disposition of our stock to or through the U.S. office of a U.S. or foreign broker will be subject to information reporting and, possibly, backup withholding unless the non-U.S. holder certifies as to its non-U.S. status or otherwise establishes an exemption, provided that the broker does not have actual knowledge that the non-U.S. holder is a U.S. person or that the conditions of any other exemption are not, in fact, satisfied. The proceeds of the disposition by a non-U.S. holder of our stock to or through a foreign office of a broker generally will not be subject to information reporting or backup withholding. However, if the broker is a U.S. person, a controlled foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes or a foreign person 50% or more of whose gross income from all sources for specified periods is from activities that are effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business, information reporting generally will apply unless the broker has documentary evidence as to the non-U.S. holder&#8217;s foreign status and has no actual knowledge to the contrary. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amount withheld under the backup withholding rules from a payment to a non-U.S. holder will be allowed as a credit against such non-U.S. holder&#8217;s U.S. federal income tax liability (which might entitle such non-U.S. holder to a refund), provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. </font>

A foreign financial institution or other foreign entity that does not comply with the FATCA registration and reporting requirements will generally be subject to a new 30% withholding tax on &#8220;withholdable payments.&#8221; For this purpose, withholdable payments generally include U.S.-source payments (including U.S.-source dividends), and (subject to the proposed Treasury Regulations below) the gross proceeds from a sale of equity or debt instruments of issuers who are considered U.S. issuers under the FATCA rules. The FATCA withholding tax applies even if the payment would otherwise not be subject to U.S. nonresident withholding tax (e.g., because it is capital gain). While withholding under FATCA would have applied also to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of stock on or after January&#160;1, 2019, proposed Treasury Regulations eliminate FATCA withholding on payments of gross proceeds entirely.

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Under the check-the-box regulations, an unincorporated entity with at least two owners or members may elect to be classified either as an association taxable as a corporation or as a partnership. If such an entity fails to make an election, it generally will be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Each Partnership intends to be classified as a partnership (or an entity that is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes if the entity has only one owner or member) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and no Partnership will elect to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation under the check-the-box regulations. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">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 90% or more of the partnership&#8217;s gross income for such year consists of certain passive-type income, including real property rents (which includes rents that would be qualifying income for purposes of the 75% gross income test, with certain modifications that make it easier for the rents to qualify for the 90% passive income exception), gains from the sale or other disposition of real property, interest, and dividends (the &#8220;90% passive income exception&#8221;). </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Treasury regulations (the &#8220;PTP regulations&#8221;) provide limited safe harbors from the definition of a publicly-traded partnership. Pursuant to one of those safe harbors (the &#8220;private placement exclusion&#8221;), 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, and (2)&#160;the partnership does not have more than 100 partners at any time during the partnership&#8217;s taxable year. In determining the number of partners in a partnership, a person owning an interest in a partnership, grantor trust, or S 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&#8217;s interest in the entity is attributable to the entity&#8217;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. We anticipate that each Partnership will qualify for the private placement exclusion. </font>

If for any reason a Partnership were taxable as a corporation, rather than as a partnership or a disregarded entity, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we likely would not be able to qualify as a REIT.

Rather, we are required to take into account our allocable share of each Partnership&#8217;s income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits for any taxable year of such Partnership ending within or with our taxable year, without regard to whether we have received or will receive any distribution from such Partnership. Under new audit rules that became effective for tax&#160;years beginning in 2018, unless a partnership elects otherwise, taxes arising from audit adjustments are required to be paid by the entity rather than by its partners or members. We will have the authority to utilize, and intend to utilize, any exceptions available under such audit rules (including any changes) and Treasury Regulations so that the partners, to the fullest extent possible, rather than the partnership itself, will be liable for any taxes arising from audit adjustments to the issuing entity&#8217;s taxable income.

If an allocation is not recognized for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the item subject to the allocation will be reallocated in accordance with the partners&#8217; interests in the partnership, which will be determined by taking into account all of the facts and circumstances relating to the economic arrangement of the partners with respect to such item.

The amount of the unrealized gain or unrealized loss (&#8220;built-in gain&#8221; or &#8220;built-in loss&#8221;) 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 &#8220;book-tax difference&#8221;). Any property purchased for cash initially will have an adjusted tax basis equal to its fair market value, resulting in no book-tax difference. A book-tax difference generally is decreased on an annual basis as a result of depreciation deductions to the contributing partner for book purposes but not for tax purposes. The 704(c) Allocations are solely for U.S. federal income tax purposes and do not affect the book capital accounts or other economic or legal arrangements among the partners. </font>

Under our operating partnership&#8217;s partnership agreement, depreciation or amortization deductions of the operating partnership generally will be allocated among the partners in accordance with their respective interests in the operating partnership, except to the extent that the operating partnership is required under the U.S. federal income tax laws governing partnership allocations to use a method for allocating tax depreciation deductions attributable to contributed properties that results in our receiving a disproportionate share of such deductions. In addition, gain or loss on the sale of a property that has been contributed, in whole or in part, to the operating partnership will be specially allocated to the contributing partners to the extent of any built-in gain or loss with respect to such property for U.S. federal income tax purposes. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">In determining whether any of these tests has been met, shares of our common stock and preferred stock considered to be owned by the holder by reason of certain constructive ownership rules set forth in the Code, as well as shares of our common stock and preferred stock actually owned by the holder, must generally be taken into account. If a holder of preferred stock owns (actually and constructively) no shares of our outstanding common stock or an insubstantial&#160;percentage thereof, a redemption of shares of preferred stock of that holder is likely to qualify for sale or exchange treatment because the redemption would be &#8220;not essentially equivalent to a dividend.&#8221; However, the determination as to whether any of the alternative tests of Section&#160;302(b) of the Code will be satisfied with respect to any particular holder of preferred stock depends upon the facts and circumstances at the time the determination must be made. We urge prospective holders of preferred stock to consult their own tax advisors to determine such tax treatment. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">If a redemption of preferred stock is not treated as a distribution taxable as a dividend to a particular holder, it will be treated as a taxable sale or exchange by that holder. As a result, the holder will recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to the difference between (i)&#160;the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received (less any portion thereof attributable to accumulated and declared but unpaid dividends, which will be taxable as a dividend to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits) and (ii)&#160;the holder&#8217;s adjusted tax basis in the shares of the preferred stock. Such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss if the shares of preferred stock were held as a capital asset, and will be long-term gain or loss if such shares were held for more than one year. If a redemption of preferred stock is treated as a distribution taxable as a dividend, the amount of the distribution will be measured by the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received by the holder, and the holder&#8217;s adjusted tax basis in the redeemed shares of the preferred stock will be transferred to the holder&#8217;s remaining shares of our stock. If the holder owns no other shares of our stock, such basis may, under certain circumstances, be transferred to a related person or it may be lost entirely. </font>

          <font style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:-0.2pt;">Accrual of Redemption Premium</font><font style="font-style:italic;letter-spacing:0.2pt;">.</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Holders who acquire certain preferred stock offered by the Company at a discount and/or net of all or a portion of the selling commissions or dealer manager fees will acquire the preferred stock with a redemption price greater than the issue price. If the excess of the redemption price of the preferred stock over the issue price of the preferred stock exceeds a statutorily defined de minimis amount, the excess of the redemption price over the issue price should be treated as &#8220;redemption premium&#8221; that would result in the accrual of deemed distributions by holders who acquire the preferred stock over a relevant accrual period. Holders of preferred stock with redemption premium greater than the statutorily defined de minimis amount should be treated as receiving constructive distributions as the redemption premium accrues under a constant yield method under principles similar to the principles applicable to original issue discount on debt instruments. Each such constructive distribution would be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a distribution of additional preferred stock that would generally be treated (i)&#160;as dividend income to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, then (ii)&#160;as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the holder&#8217;s tax basis in its shares of preferred stock, and thereafter (iii)&#160;as capital gain to the extent of any excess amount. Constructive distributions are not distributions of cash, so holders would have &#8220;phantom income&#8221; as a result of any taxable constructive distributions. Any constructive distribution would generally increase the holder&#8217;s tax basis in its preferred stock or, to the extent that the distribution is treated as a non-taxable return of capital, offset the reduction in the holder&#8217;s tax basis that would otherwise occur. It is possible that any withholding tax on constructive distributions might be withheld from cash distributions or other amounts subsequently paid or credited to a holder. Our determination of whether there are constructive distributions on the preferred stock is generally binding on a holder of preferred stock, unless such holder explicitly discloses that it is taking a contrary position in a statement attached to its U.S. federal income tax return in accordance with applicable Treasury Regulations. The application of the rules applicable to the accrual of redemption premium on preferred stock is uncertain and complex. Holders of preferred stock should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of any such redemption premium. </font>

Special rules will apply for calculating OID for an initial short accrual period. The &#8220;adjusted issue price&#8221; of a debt security at the beginning of any accrual period is equal to its issue price increased by the accrued OID for each prior accrual period, determined without regard to the amortization of any acquisition or bond premium, as described below, and reduced by any payments previously made on the debt security (other than a payment of qualified stated interest). Under these rules, you will generally have to include in income increasingly greater amounts of OID in successive accrual periods. We are required to provide information returns stating the amount of OID accrued on debt securities held by persons of record other than corporations and other exempt holders. </font>

If you acquire a debt security at a market discount, you will be required to treat as ordinary income any partial principal payment or gain recognized on the disposition of that debt security to the extent of the market discount which has not previously been included in your income and is treated as having accrued at the time of the payment or disposition. In addition, you may be required to defer the deduction of a portion of the interest on any indebtedness incurred or maintained to purchase or carry the debt security until the debt security is disposed of in a taxable transaction, unless you elect to include market discount in income as it accrues. </font>

You may be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having exchanged your debt securities for new debt securities with revised terms.

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">The presence of such options may also affect the calculation of OID, among other things. Solely for purposes of the accrual of OID, if we issue debt securities and have an option or combination of options to extend the term of those debt securities, we will be presumed to exercise such option or options in a manner that minimizes the yield on those debt securities. Conversely, if you are treated as having a put option, such an option will be presumed to be exercised in a manner that maximizes the yield on those debt securities. If we exercise such option or options to extend the term of those debt securities, or your option to put does not occur (contrary to the assumptions made), then solely for purposes of the accrual of OID, those debt securities will be treated as reissued on the date of the change in circumstances for an amount equal to their adjusted issue price on the date. </font>

Copies of the information returns reporting such interest payments and any withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which you reside under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Pursuant to FATCA, foreign financial institutions (which include most foreign hedge funds, private equity funds, mutual funds, securitization vehicles and any other investment vehicles) and certain other foreign entities must comply with registration and information reporting rules with respect to their U.S. account holders and investors or be subject to a withholding tax on U.S.-source payments made to them (whether received as a beneficial owner or as an intermediary for another party). A foreign financial institution or other foreign entity that does not comply with the FATCA registration and reporting requirements will generally be subject to a new 30% withholding tax on &#8220;withholdable payments.&#8221; For this purpose, withholdable payments generally include U.S.-source payments (including U.S. source dividends), and (subject to the proposed Treasury Regulations below) the gross proceeds from a sale of equity or debt instruments of issuers who are considered U.S. issuers under the FATCA rules. The FATCA withholding tax applies even if the payment would otherwise not be subject to U.S. nonresident withholding tax (e.g., because it is capital gain). While withholding under FATCA would have applied also to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of stock on or after January&#160;1, 2019, proposed Treasury Regulations eliminate FATCA withholding on payments of gross proceeds entirely. Taxpayers may generally rely on these proposed Treasury Regulations until final Treasury Regulations are issued. Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules. We will not pay additional amounts in respect of amounts withheld. Investors should consult their tax advisors regarding FATCA. </font>

A TRS is a fully taxable corporation for which a TRS election is properly made and is required to pay regular U.S. federal income tax, and state and local income tax where applicable, as a non-REIT &#8220;C&#8221; corporation. In addition, a TRS may be prevented from deducting interest on debt funded directly or indirectly by us if certain tests are not satisfied, as described below in &#8220;&#8212; Interest Deduction Limitation.&#8221;. A TRS may lease hotels from us under certain circumstances, provide services to our tenants, and perform activities unrelated to our tenants, such as third-party management, development, and other independent business activities. 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. Overall, no more than 20% of the value of our assets may consist of the securities of TRSs. </font>

whether the statements, representations, warranties or assumptions on which we have relied to issue this opinion will continue to be accurate
in the future. The Company&rsquo;s qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code has depended and will depend on the ability of
the Company to meet on a prior and an ongoing basis (through actual quarterly and annual operating results, distribution levels, diversity
of stock ownership and otherwise) the various qualification tests imposed under the Code, and upon the Company&rsquo;s utilizing any and
all appropriate &ldquo;savings provisions&rdquo; (including the provisions of Sections 856(c)(6), 856(c)(7), and 856(g)&nbsp;of the Code
and the provisions included in Section&nbsp;856(c)(4)&nbsp;of the Code (flush language) allowing for the disposal of assets within 30
days after the close of a calendar quarter, and all available deficiency dividend procedures) available to the Company under the Code
to correct violations of specified REIT qualification requirements of Sections 856 and 857 of the Code. Our opinion set forth above does
not foreclose the possibility that the Company may have to utilize one or more of these &ldquo;savings provisions,&rdquo; which could
require the Company to pay an excise tax or penalty tax (which could be significant in amount) in order to maintain its REIT qualification
for a taxable year. We will not review on a continuing basis the Company&rsquo;s compliance with the documents or assumptions set forth
above, or the representations set forth in the AHT Officer&rsquo;s Certificate, the Braemar Officer&rsquo;s Certificate and the Ashford
Inc. Officer&rsquo;s Certificate. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the Company&rsquo;s operations for any given taxable year
will satisfy the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT.</P>
