WHEREAS, the Parties, with the assistance of their legal and financing advisors,
have engaged in negotiations with the objective of reaching an agreement with regard to the
Marriott Hotels set forth on Schedule A and Schedule B and the treatment of the Franchise
Agreements and Marriott's claims thereunder (collectively, the "Claims"), pursuant to the terms
and conditions set forth in this Agreement;
WHEREAS, the Company has received certain Acceptable Financing
Commitments (as defined herein) predicated on the filing of a Chapter 11 Case, which are
attached hereto as Exhibit 2;
WHEREAS, the Company and Marriott have reviewed, or have had the

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants and
agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
Section 1. Acceptable Financing Commitment. For purposes of this Agreement,
an "Acceptable Financing Commitment" means one or more commitments: (a) for at least $45M
to complete, on the schedule attached hereto as Schedule A (which includes three separate
phases of PIP completion, "Phase 1," "Phase 2," and "Phase 3"), the PIPs for the Marriott
Defaulted Hotels; (b) on terms that are no less favorable to the Company than market terms
negotiated at arm's-length; (c) not conditioned on obtaining voting or any control rights with
respect to the Plan, other than on reasonable and customary debtor-in-possession repayment
terms and priority; (d) which terms shall indicate that the sole purpose of the commitment is to
complete the PIPs for the Marriott Defaulted Hotels; (e) which may prime existing liens,
pursuant to section 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code; and (f) which will be fully funded upon
closing of an Acceptable Financing Commitment after Bankruptcy Court approval (collectively,
an "Acceptable Financing Commitment"). Marriott acknowledges and agrees that the financing
commitments memorialized in the term sheets attached hereto as Exhibit 2, if consummated,
would each constitute an Acceptable Financing Commitment.
(a) If the Company files a Chapter 11 Case, the Company shall
(i) substantially contemporaneously with such filing, file a motion with the Bankruptcy Court
seeking authority, pursuant to section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, to obtain an Acceptable
Financing Commitment (the "DIP Motion") and (ii) seek to have the Bankruptcy Court approve
the Acceptable Financing Commitment within sixty (60) days thereafter. The Company shall in
good faith use its reasonable best efforts to obtain Bankruptcy Court approval of an Acceptable
Financing Commitment within the time periods specified herein and confirmation of a Plan
consistent with the terms of this Agreement.
(b) If the Bankruptcy Court approves an Acceptable Financing Commitment
within sixty (60) days after filing a Chapter 11 Case, the Company shall commence, perform,
W02-EAST:7DAD1 \200318792.3
-2-
APP-00047
and fully complete the PIPs in accordance with Schedule A. The Parties agree that time is of the
essence with respect to the commencement, performance, and completion of the PIPs.
(c) The Company represents and warrants that it has the requisite power and
authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations under this Agreement
and any and all other agreements, documents or instruments to be executed and/or delivered in
connection herewith and to consummate the transactions contemplated herein and therein.
Section 2. Post-filing Forbearance Period. During the period commencing on the
filing of a Chapter 11 Case, and ending upon the termination of this Agreement in accordance
with Section 6 hereof (the "Post-filing Forbearance Period"), with respect to the Marriott
Defaulted Hotels listed on Schedule A, Marriott shall, subject to Section 3 and Section 6 hereof,
(a) forbear from exercising any and all of its remedies under the Franchise Agreements that arise
out of or in connection with the Default Letters, (b) forbear from seeking relief from the
automatic stay to exercise any and all of its remedies under the Franchise Agreements that arise
out of or in connection with the Default Letters, and (c) permit the Franchise Agreements for the
Marriott Defaulted Hotels listed on Schedule A to be assumed in accordance with Section 4
hereof.
Section 3. Relief from Automatic Stay Upon Default. Notwithstanding any other
Section of this Agreement, at any time after Bankruptcy Court approval of an Acceptable
Financing Commitment, in the event that the Company does not satisfy in all material respects
the obligations to be performed with respect to a particular Marriott Defaulted Hotel identified
on Schedule A, on or before the applicable milestone dates provided therein, Marriott may seek
relief from stay or such other relief as may be just and proper with respect to such Marriott
Defaulted Hotel and related Franchise Agreement, and the Company agrees that (a) it shall not
contest either directly or indirectly, or cause another to contest, a motion, application or request
by Marriott for relief from the automatic stay to, inter alia, enforce its rights and remedies under
the Franchise Agreement for such Marriott Defaulted Hotel, and (b) it shall deem the Post-filing
Forbearance Period with respect to such Marriott Defaulted Hotel terminated. In the event the
Company fails to complete, in accordance with Schedule A, all of the PIPs under the Franchise
Agreements for the Marriott Defaulted Hotel listed under Phase 1, plus the Sili II hotel in Phase
2, Marriott may, in its discretion, serve a notice of default and sixty (60) notice to cure which
shall require the Company to complete all PIPs for the Marriott Defaulted Hotels under Phase 1,
plus the Sili II hotel under Phase 2 within the sixty (60) day cure period. If the cure by the
Company referenced in the previous sentence is not completed within sixty (60) days, then
Marriott shall be entitled to seek relief from stay for all Marriott Defaulted Hotels, except those
which have already been assumed, and the Company shall be deemed to consent to such relief,
and Marriott shall retain any and all of its rights to damages under the relevant Franchise
Agreements.
Section 4. Assumption of Franchise Agreements. As set forth herein, Marriott shall
have the right to consent to the assumption and assignment of any and all Franchise Agreements,
including the Franchise Agreements for the Marriott Defaulted Hotels. Immediately upon
completion and written approval by Marriott of completion of a PIP for a Marriott Defaulted
Hotel in accordance with Schedule A, the Company shall seek to assume the applicable
Franchise Agreements. For the avoidance of doubt, assumptions will be on a rolling basis as
W02-EAST:7DAD1 \200318792.3
-3-
APP-00048
PIPs are completed and approved, and Marriott's consent to assumption shall be deemed given
if, with respect to a particular Marriott Defaulted Hotel, Marriott determines in its reasonable
business judgment that the Company has completed the respective PIP in accordance with
Schedule A and the terms of the applicable Franchise Agreement, provided that Marriott shall
retain its rights under 11 U.S.C. 365. With respect to the PIPs on Schedule A for which the
Company is in compliance as of the time the Company files a disclosure statement in the Chapter
11 Case, the Company shall assume all such Franchise Agreements listed on Schedule A (except
as otherwise assumed in accordance with this Section 4) and Marriott will consent to the
Company's assumption of the Franchise Agreements listed on Schedule A. In addition, as of the
time the Company files a disclosure statement in the Chapter 11 Case, the Company shall assume
all other Franchise Agreements for the Marriott Hotels not listed on Schedule A (the "Marriott
Non-Defaulted Hotels"), which shall be set forth on Schedule B, and Marriott will consent to the
Company's assumption of the Franchise Agreements for the Marriott Non-Defaulted Hotels,
provided that Marriott shall retain its rights under 11 U.S.C. 365 for such Franchise
Agreements. For the sake of clarity, Company's obligation to complete the PIPs for the Marriott
Hotels in accordance with the respective Franchise Agreements shall survive confirmation of the
Plan.
Section 5. Resolution of Claims. If the Company files a Chapter 11 Case, the
Company shall cause the Plan to provide that Marriott's Claims shall either be treated as (a)
unimpaired or (b) impaired only to the extent and in a manner as consensually agreed upon by
Marriott in its sole discretion; provided that Marriott may have claims in the Chapter 11 Case
that remain unpaid even if the PIPs for all Marriott Defaulted Hotels are completed and approved
and all of the relevant Franchise Agreements are assumed. Marriott will not forbear from filing
and pursuing such claims in the Chapter 11 Case. Marriott acknowledges and agrees, subject to
review and consideration of any proposed Plan, that it will not vote to reject or otherwise object
to, impede, directly or indirectly, or take any action that would unreasonably delay confirmation
or consummation of the Plan, unless such Plan contains terms that are inconsistent with the terms
of this Agreement and the Franchise Agreements. Marriott represents that it has not conducted
an inspection or audit to determine if additional defaults exist as of the date of this Agreement,
but to the best of its knowledge, it is not aware of any outstanding defaults other than the
Continuing Defaults; provided, however, that Marriott does not waive its rights with respect to
any default in existence that Marriott later becomes aware of or could have known upon a

negotiation by and among the Parties. Any Party enforcing or interpreting this Agreement shall

UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY JUDGE:
Lehman Commercial Paper Inc. ("LCPI"), as debtor and debtor in
possession (together with its affiliated debtors in the above-referenced chapter 11 cases,
the "Debtors" and, collectively with their non-debtor affiliates, "Lehman"), moves for
authority to (i) consent to Lehman ALI Inc.'s ("ALI"), a non-Debtor affiliate ofLCPI, (a)

Agreement"), related to the proposed restructuring of Innkeepers USA Trust (together
US ACTIVE\43446016\20\58399.0008
APP-00072
with its affiliates, "Innkeepers")
1
; and (b) consummation of the transactions consistent
with the plan term sheet, attached to the Plan Support Agreement and attached hereto as
Exhibit B (the "Plan Term Sheet"); including the subsequent sale of 50% of the equity of
the reorganized Innkeepers for a price not less than $107.5 million, and (ii) provide funds
to Solar Finance Inc. ("Solar"), a non-Debtor affiliate, for the purposes of extending
debtor-in-possession financing to Innkeepers, and respectfully represents:
Introduction
1. In June 2007, ALI originated a $367,658,725 financing (the
"Financing") with Innkeepers. The Financing was bifurcated into a $250,000,000
floating-rate first mortgage loan (the "Mortgage Loan")
2
and a $117,658,725 floating-rate
mezzanine loan (the "Mezzanine Loan" and, together with the Mortgage Loan, the
"Loans").
3
ALI remains as the lender under the Mortgage Loan, with a current balance
of approximately $220.2 million (plus late fees and any other charges payable under the
Mortgage Loan Agreement). The Mortgage Loan represents a potential significant
source of recovery for creditors of the Debtors.
1
On July 19, 2010, Innkeepers USA Trust and certain of its affiliates filed for chapter 11 protection in the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. The chapter 11 case is pending
under case number 10-13800 before the Honorable Shelley C. Chapman. As part of its "first day"
pleadings, Innkeepers filed Debtors' Motion for an Order (A) Authorizing the Debtors to Assume the Plan
Support Agreement and (B) Granting Related Relief[Docket No. 15]. The Innkeepers' pleading is more
than 225 pages long. For purposes of this Motion, only the material agreements and/or documents are
attached.
2
The Mortgage Loan is evidenced by, inter alia, that certain Loan Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2007
(as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Mortgage Loan Agreement").
3
The Mezzanine Loan is currently held by SASCO 2008-C2 LLC (the "Mezzanine Lender"). The Debtors
do not make any representations with respect to the Mezzanine Lender and are not requesting any approval
with respect to the Mezzanine Lender.

APP-00073
2. As Innkeepers' financial situation has become more dire recently,
this Mortgage Loan has received a significant amount of attention by the Debtors, and,
over the previous several months, the Debtors and their legal and financial advisors have
been focusing on how to maximize recovery on this asset.
3. Beginning in April2010, Innkeepers and ALI engaged in
numerous good faith and arms' -length negotiations to outline a potential restructuring of
Innkeepers that would maximize ALI's recovery on the Mortgage Loan. In conjunction
with these discussions, the Debtors have worked closely with their legal and financial
advisors to determine which alternatives the Debtors should pursue, which included,
among others, seeking to foreclose on the collateral securing the Mortgage Loan, seeking
the appointment of one or more receivers to manage the hotel properties that serve as
collateral, and seeking to lift the automatic stay in a potential Innkeepers' bankruptcy to
pursue rights and remedies. In considering these alternatives, the Debtors' analysis
included economic and non-economic factors, including the expected recovery, the costs
to pursue each alternative, the timing of potential recoveries, and the likelihood of being
able to achieve value through each alternative. Additionally, the Debtors considered the
potential impact on the hotel properties serving as collateral and hotel franchise
agreements. Ultimately, after extensive negotiations with Innkeepers and its legal and
financial advisors, the Debtors determined that the transactions described in this Motion
represent the best alternative for the Debtors to maximize value of the Mortgage Loan.
Relief Requested
4. By this Motion, pursuant to section 363 of chapter 11 of the United
States Code ("the Bankruptcy Code"), LCPI seeks authority (a) to consent to ALI
US ACTIVE\43446016\20\58399.0008 6
APP-00074
entering into the Plan Support Agreement relating to the proposed restructuring of
Innkeepers under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) for ALI to consummate the
transactions consistent with the Plan Term Sheet which outlines the proposed
restructuring of Innkeepers and contemplates the conversion of ALI's secured debt into
all of the equity in a reorganized Innkeepers and, by means of a separate agreement with
Apollo Investment Corporation ("Apollo"), the sale of 50% of that equity for not less
than $107.5 million, and (c) to loan up to approximately $17.5 million of funds
previously paid by ALI to LCPI to LCPI's non-Debtor affiliate, Solar, for the purposes of
Solar extending a DIP Facility (as defined herein), which is necessary to fund
improvements on the properties. One of the key provisions of the Plan Support
Agreement allows ALI to terminate its obligations under the Plan Support Agreement
after a specified period of time and cause Innkeepers to sell or allow ALI to foreclose on
the properties subject to the Mortgage Loan.
5. Although this Motion seeks relief related to non-Debtor ALI, such
relief is required pursuant to the Order Pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code
and Bankruptcy Rule 6004 Authorizing the Transfer of Loans from Variable Funding
Trust 2007-1 to Non-Debtor Affiliates [Docket No. 9025], entered by this Court on May
13, 2010 (the "Transfer Order"). As set forth in the Transfer Order, LCPI was authorized
to transfer mortgage loans in the possession ofVFT 2007 (as defined below) to any non-
Debtor affiliate subject to certain conditions. Among other things, the Transfer Order
required that any non-Debtor affiliate transferee "obtain all consents and approvals from
the Creditors' Committee and the Court that LCPI would otherwise have been required to
obtain had LCPI been the owner of such [transferred loan] ... " Transfer Order at p. 3.

Jurisdiction
6. This Court has subject matter jurisdiction to consider and
determine this matter pursuant to 28 U.S. C. 1334. This is a core proceeding pursuant to
28 U.S.C 157(b). The statutory basis for the relief requested herein is section 363(b) of
the Bankruptcy Code.
Background
7. Commencing on September 15, 2008, and periodically thereafter
(as applicable, the "Commencement Date"), the Debtors commenced with this Court
voluntary cases under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors' chapter 11 cases
have been consolidated for procedural purposes only and are being jointly administered
pursuant to Rule 1015(b) of the Federal Rules ofBankruptcy Procedure. The Debtors are
authorized to operate their businesses and manage their properties as debtors in
possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code.
8. On September 17, 2008, the United States Trustee for the Southern
District ofNew York (the "U.S. Trustee") appointed the statutory committee of
unsecured creditors pursuant to section 1102 of the Bankruptcy Code (the "Creditors'
Committee").
9. On September 19, 2008, a proceeding was commenced under the
Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 ("SIP A") with respect to Lehman Brothers Inc.
("LBI"). A trustee appointed under SIP A is administering LBI' s estate.
10. On January 19, 2009, the U.S. Trustee appointed Anton R. Valukas
as examiner in the above-captioned chapter 11 cases (the "Examiner") and by order,
dated January 20, 2009 [Docket No. 2583], the Court approved the U.S. Trustee's
US ACTIVE\43446016\20\58399.0008 8
APP-00076
appointment of the Examiner. The Examiner issued a report of his investigation pursuant
to section 1106 of the Bankruptcy Code on March 11, 2010 [Docket No. 7531].
11. On April 14, 2010, the Debtors filed a revised joint chapter 11 plan
and disclosure statement [Docket No. 8330 and 8332].
Lehman's Business
12. Prior to the events leading up to these chapter 11 cases, Lehman
was the fourth largest investment bank in the United States. For more than 150 years,
Lehman had been a leader in the global financial markets by serving the financial needs
of corporations, governmental units, institutional clients and individuals worldwide.
13. Additional information regarding the Debtors' businesses, capital
structures, and the circumstances leading to the commencement of these chapter 11 cases
is contained in the Affidavit oflan T. Lowitt Pursuant to Rule 1007-2 of the Local
Bankruptcy Rules for the Southern District of New York in Support of First-Day Motions
and Applications, filed on September 15, 2008 [Docket No.2].
Innkeepers
14. In June 2007, ALI originated the Financing to fund a portion of the
approximately $1.8 billion acquisition of all the outstanding shares oflnnkeepers by
Apollo. At that time, Innkeepers held 76 hotel properties.
15. The Mortgage Loan currently is secured by 20 hotel properties in
total (the "Collateral Portfolio"), the majority of which are branded extended stay or
limited service hotels, including five Residence Inns (Marriott), three Hampton Inns
(Hilton), and two Courtyards by Marriott (Marriott). The Mezzanine Loan is secured by
pledges of the equity of the entities holding the 20 hotel properties. The current balance
US ACTIVE\43446016\20\58399.0008 9
APP-00077
of the Mezzanine Loan is approximately $134.3 million (plus late fees and any other
charges payable under the documents evidencing the Mezzanine Loan).
16. Throughout the second half of 2008 and during 2009, net operating
income from the Collateral Portfolio declined. Prior to Innkeepers' chapter 11 cases, the
franchise agreements for three of the "Residence Inn" hotels in the Collateral Portfolio
with Marriott terminated by their terms. Additionally, in March and May 2010, four
additional hotels in the Collateral Portfolio received notices of default from Marriott due
to the failure of Innkeepers to complete certain property improvement plan work at the
hotels ("PIPs"). There were similar issues with certain of the other properties held by
Innkeepers. These factors, coupled with the high amount of outstanding debt on
Innkeepers' entire portfolio, similar net operating income declines across Innkeepers
other hotels and payment defaults on all of Innkeepers' debt obligations have led to the
need for Innkeepers to file for chapter 11 relief
17. After evaluating all of its strategic options and extensive
negotiations with Innkeepers, the Debtors agreed to convert their debt into substantially
all of the equity in the reorganized Innkeepers, which the Debtors believe will maximize
recovery of their Mortgage Loan. Additionally, the Debtors agreed to provide DIP
financing to address the PIPs and certain other necessary capital expenditure for the
hotels securing the Mortgage Loan.
18. In order to minimize their downside exposure, ALI entered into
separate arrangements with Apollo to sell 50% of the equity it receives under the
Innkeepers' chapter 11 plan to it for $107.5 million. The Debtors further negotiated a
provision in the Plan Term Sheet that provides that if the Debtors are unable to find a
US ACTIVE\43446016\20\58399.0008 10
APP-00078
purchaser for such 50% of the equity they receive under Innkeepers' chapter 11 plan for
at least $107.5 million, the Debtors can (but are not required to) terminate the Plan
Support Agreement. Finally, if the restructuring is not finalized within the time periods
set forth in the Plan Support Agreement, the Plan Support Agreement provides that the
Collateral Portfolio will be sold to a third-party, transferred to ALI, or ALI will be
allowed to foreclose, all as more fully set forth below.
LCPI's Interest in the Mortgage Loan
19. On November 30, 2007, Variable Funding Trust 2007-1 ("VFT
2007"), a Delaware statutory trust, entered into a Note Purchase Agreement pursuant to
which VFT 2007 issued notes (the "VFT 2007 Notes") collateralized by certain mortgage
loans (the "VFT Loans") which were sold and assigned by LCPI to VFT 2007. The
Mortgage Loan, which, upon information and belief, had been repo'd from ALI to LCPI,
was included in the VFT Loans.
20. On February 23, 2010, this Court entered an order (the
"Prepayment Order")
4
authorizing LCPI to prepay, in full, the VFT 2007 Notes, and on
March 19, 2010, LCPI transferred cash to VFT 2007 in an amount sufficient to payoff the
outstanding amount of the VFT 2007 Notes. The Prepayment Order did not specify
whether the VFT Loans were to remain in VFT 2007 or be transferred to LCPI or any
other entities. As a result, on May 13, 2010, this Court entered the Transfer Order, which
authorized LCPI to cause the transfer of the VFT Loans to any non-Debtor affiliate,
provided that (i) such non-Debtor affiliate provides LCPI with a note in the amount of the
4
The Order Pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 6004 Authorizing
Debtor to Prepay Notes Issued by Variable Funding Trusts, dated February 23, 2010 [Docket No. 7220].
US ACTIVE\43446016\20\58399.0008 11
APP-00079
outstanding balance of each such transferred VFT Loan (the "Note") with payment terms
reflecting the payment terms of the applicable VFT Loan, and (ii) such non-Debtor
affiliate provides LCPI with a pledge of the transferred VFT Loan for which control
rights will attach upon non-payment of the Note by such non-Debtor affiliate.
21. The Transfer Order further requires that "any non-Debtor affiliate
to which a [VFT Loan] is transferred shall be required to obtain all consents and
approvals from the Creditors' Committee and the Court that LCPI would otherwise have
been required to obtain had LCPI been the owner of such [VFT Loan] .... " Transfer
Order at p. 3. Pursuant to the Transfer Order, and subject to the requirements thereof, the
Mortgage Loan was transferred to ALI, which currently holds the Mortgage Loan.
Therefore, as required by the Transfer Order, ALI (through LCPI) must obtain Creditors'
Committee and Court approval prior to entering into the Plan Support Agreement, as,
pursuant thereto and detailed below, ALI will, inter alia, consent to the exchange of the
Mortgage Loan for equity in reorganized Innkeepers.
22. Further, on June 24, 2010, ALI and LCPI entered into that certain
(i) Intercompany Promissory Note, dated as of June 24, 2010, by ALI for the benefit of
LCPI (the "Intercompany Note") and (ii) Intercompany Collateral Agreement, dated as of
June 24, 2010, by and between ALI and LCPI (the "Intercompany Collateral Agreement"
and together with the Intercompany Note, the "Intercompany Loan Documents"),
pursuant to which ALI pledged to LCPI ALI's interest in the Mortgage Loan.

The Plan Support Agreement and Plan Term Sheet
5
23. Beginning in April2010, Innkeepers and ALI engaged in
numerous good faith and arms' -length negotiations to outline a potential restructuring of
Innkeepers that would maximize ALI's recovery on the Mortgage Loan. Following these
negotiations ALI and Innkeepers agreed to the terms of the restructuring embodied in the
Plan Term Sheet, which will be effectuated through a plan of reorganization in
Innkeepers' chapter 11 case.
24. Specifically, with respect to ALI, the Plan Term Sheet contains,
among other provisions, the following terms:
(a) Conversion of Debt to Equity: ALI receiving, in full and final
satisfaction of its approximately $220.2 million secured claim with
respect to the Mortgage Loan, 100% of the new shares of common
stock issued by reorganized Innkeepers pursuant to its chapter 11
plan (the "New Equity"), subject to dilution by a management
equity incentive program;
(b) Releases: Customary, consensual releases of liability by
Innkeepers in favor of ALI and its affiliates, including LCPI, and,
among others, its respective principals, employees, agents, officers,
directors, and professionals under the Plan;
(c) Milestones: Upon the failure to meet one or more of certain
delineated milestones, including, inter alia, the failure by
Innkeepers (i) to secure an order confirming a plan of
reorganization consistent with the terms of the Plan Support
Agreement no later than 240 days from the commencement of the
Innkeepers Chapter 11 Case, or (ii) to go effective on such plan of
reorganization no later than 270 days from the commencement of
the Innkeepers Chapter 11 Case, the Plan Support Agreement shall
terminate upon one business day's notice; and
5
The descriptions and discussions of the Plan Support Agreement and the Plan Term Sheet contained
herein are summary in nature. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of any of those
documents and their descriptions contained herein, the terms of the actual documents will control.
US ACTIVE\43446016\20\58399.0008 13
APP-00081
(d) Remedies Upon Termination - Upon the occurrence of any
Termination Event (as defined in the Plan Support Agreement),
Lehman may terminate the Plan Support Agreement and
Innkeepers' use of its cash collateral. Upon the occurrence of
certain Termination Events related to the timing of confirmation or
the effective date of the plan, Innkeepers shall immediately elect
one of the following remedies or, if Innkeepers does not make the
election within one day, the Debtors will be allowed to elect:
1. Innkeepers will be deemed to have consented to the
modification of the automatic stay to permit ALI to
exercise any and all remedies with respect to its collateral
without any need for further Bankruptcy Court approval;
2. Innkeepers will sell ALI's collateral pursuant to section 363
of the Bankruptcy Code, provided that (i) the sale
procedures shall be agreed upon no later than 120 days
after Innkeepers files for chapter 11; (ii) Lehman shall have
the right to credit bid the Floating Rate Debt; (iii) if sale
proceeds are not paid to Lehman within 60 days of the
Termination Event, title to the Floating Rate Collateral
shall be conveyed to Lehman free and clear of all liens,
claims, and encumbrances; and (iv) the 60-day period shall
not be extended and Innkeepers waives its right to seek any
extension of such period.
25. As means of implementation, the Plan Support Agreement
contemplates, among other things:
(a) all material pleadings filed by Innkeepers during the Innkeepers
Bankruptcy, including so-called "first day" pleadings, being in
form and substance reasonably acceptable to ALI;
(b) entry into two proposed postpetition debtor-in-possession
financing facilities (each a "DIP Facility" and, collectively, the
"DIP Facilities"), consisting of the (a) approximately $50.75
million DIP Facility provided by Five Mile Capital Partners LLC,
which proceeds will be used primarily to perform property
improvement programs on certain hotels securing the Debtors'
obligations under the Fixed Rate Debt, the Residence Inn in San
Diego, and the Residence Inn in Tyson's Comer (each as defined
in the Plan Support Agreement); and (b) approximately $17.5
million DIP Facility provided by an affiliate of Lehman, which
will be used to perform PIPs and certain other investments on
US ACTIVE\43446016\20\58399.0008 14
APP-00082
certain hotels securing the Debtors' obligations under the Floating
Rate Mortgage Loan Agreement;
(c) consensual use of ALI's cash collateral, and use of all other
secured lenders' cash collateral, on terms and conditions
acceptable to ALI and subject to the milestones set forth in the
Plan Term Sheet;
(d) Innkeepers securing additional funding of no less than $75 million
to finance its exit from chapter 11; and
(e) this Bankruptcy Court having jurisdiction to hear and decide this
Motion; the Bankruptcy Court presiding over Innkeepers' Chapter
11 Case shall have exclusive jurisdiction with respect to any matter
under or arising out of or in connection with the Plan Support
Agreement or the transactions contemplated therein.
26. As set forth above, the Plan Term Sheet provides the framework
for a chapter 11 plan of reorganization pursuant to which ALI will receive 100% (subject
to dilution for a management incentive program) of the New Equity in exchange for the
Mortgage Loan. ALI's willingness to enter into the Plan Support Agreement is
conditioned on its ability to mitigate its risk by selling a portion of the New Equity. To
that end, ALI has reached an agreement with Apollo (the "AIC Agreement") to sell a
50% stake in its New Equity distribution for not less than $107.5 million, which will be
effectuated after Innkeepers' plan becomes effective. Although the AIC Agreement can
be terminated by ALI or Apollo under certain circumstances subject to a date certain,
ALI is not required to consummate the transactions in the Plan Support Agreement unless
it is able to sell 50% of its New Equity to Apollo or another third-party for a price of no
less than $107.5 million.
The Solar DIP Term Financing
27. Pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, ALI held
certain reserves and escrows, including reserves for the performance of the PIPs and
US ACTIVE\43446016\20\58399.0008 15
APP-00083
certain other investments for the hotels securing Innkeepers' obligations under the
Mortgage Loan. On May 19, 2010, events of default occurred under the Mortgage Loan
Agreement, which events of default allowed ALI to apply the reserves and escrows held
by ALI to the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan. On or about July 16, 2010, ALI
applied substantially all of the reserves and escrows to the principal balance of the
Mortgage Loan, which amounts shall be paid by ALI to LCPI pursuant to the
Intercompany Loan Documents. Such amounts shall then be lent to Solar to fund the
Solar DIP Facility (as defined herein).
28. Innkeepers entered into an agreement with Marriott related to the
PIPs at the hotels securing the Mortgage Loan as well as certain of its other hotels. This
agreement with Marriott provides that subject to certain conditions, including the funding
of the PIPs, Marriott will forbear from exercising its potential rights to terminate its
franchise agreements. This agreement is important to maintain the value of the Collateral
Portfolio. Therefore, the restructuring contemplates the provision by Solar of a DIP
Facility up to approximately $17.5 million to Innkeepers. These funds will be used by
Innkeepers for PIPs and other necessary capital investments in the Collateral Portfolio.
As Solar does not have the necessary funds to provide the DIP Facility, LCPI now wishes
to advance certain of the funds paid by ALI to LCPI as set forth in paragraph 25 hereof to
Solar in order to fund the DIP Facility.
29. The key terms of the DIP Facility to be provided by Solar are
summarized herein as follows:

Any capitalized term used but not defined in the below summary shall have the meaning ascribed to such
term in the DIP Term Sheet, attached hereto as Exhibit C.
US ACTIVE\43446016\20\58399.0008 16
APP-00084
(a) DIP Facility: A term facility of up to $17.5 million (the "Solar
DIP Facility"), allocated to the Collateral Portfolio securing the
Financing, shall be extended to the Borrower pursuant to the terms
and provisions of a DIP loan agreement (the "DIP Loan
Agreement"). The loan funded by the Solar under the Solar DIP
Facility is referred to herein as the "Solar DIP Loan."
(b) Material Terms: A Closing Fee of 0.5% and a Commitment Fee
equal to 1.0%, each of the amounts committed in connection with
the Solar DIP Facility shall be paid by the Borrower (as defined in
the DIP Term Sheet) to Solar on the closing date of the Solar DIP
Facility and shall be fully earned and non-refundable on such date.
Interest on the Solar DIP Loan shall be paid monthly in arrears,
accruing at a per annum floating rate equal to the sum of the 30-
day LIBOR (subject to a floor of 2.0%) plus 5.0% (the "Non-
Default Interest Rate").
(c) Maturity Date: 360 days from the closing of the DIP Facility.
(d) Recovery: If a plan consistent with the Plan Term Sheet is
confirmed and goes effective, the Debtors agreed to waive the right
to a recovery under the Solar DIP Loan except under certain
circumstances.
(e) Termination Date: The earliest to occur of: (a) acceleration by
Solar of the obligations under the Solar DIP Loan due to the
occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default (as defined in
the DIP Term Sheet) with respect to the Solar DIP Loan; (b) the
acceleration of the obligations under any other debtor-in-
possession financing provided to Innkeepers due to the occurrence
and continuation of an event of default under such financings; (c)
the effective date of any plan in the bankruptcy proceeding that
provides for payment in full in cash of all obligations owing under
the Solar DIP Facility or is otherwise acceptable to Solar; (d) the
date that is the closing date of any sale of all or substantially all of
any Borrower's assets that constitute collateral for the Solar DIP
Facility; (e) the entry of an order by the Bankruptcy Court granting
relief from the automatic stay permitting foreclosure of any assets
of any Borrower constituting collateral with respect to the DIP
Facility in excess of$1,000,000 in the aggregate; or (f) the entry of
an order of dismissal or conversion of the Chapter 11 Cases with
respect to all of the Borrowers with respect to the Solar DIP
Facility.
US ACTIVE\43446016\20\58399.0008 17
APP-00085
(f) Additional Terms: The Debtors shall seek an order by the
Bankruptcy Court, which the Debtors are seeking by this Motion,
that includes provisions that (a) the Plan Support Agreement is
approved without condition or delay, including approval for the
Debtors to comply with each provision of the Plan Support
Agreement and (b) the automatic stay in the Debtors' chapter 11
cases is modified to permit any party to the Plan Support
Agreement to take any or all actions permitted by the Plan Support
Agreement.
30. The above summaries set forth the current material terms of the
Plan Term Sheet and Solar DIP Facility. Although LCPI anticipates that the Innkeepers
restructuring will be on terms similar to those set forth above, because this
comprehensive restructuring requires the agreement of a large number of entities and
approval in the Innkeepers' Chapter 11 case, it is possible that certain of the terms of the
restructuring will be different than those set forth herein. As such, ALI and LCPI require
the flexibility to enter into a Plan Support Agreement that contemplates a restructuring
according to modified terms, and submits that allowing ALI and LCPI the flexibility to
do so, subject to the consent of the Creditors' Committee, is in the best interests ofLCPI
and its estate.
The AIC Stock Purchase Agreement
31. As set forth above, before confirmation by the Innkeepers
Bankruptcy Court oflnnkeepers' plan of reorganization pursuant to the terms of the Plan
Term Sheet, ALI and Apollo will enter into a stock purchase agreement (the "AIC SPA")
whereby ALI will agree to sell Apollo, and Apollo, subject to the terms therein, will
agree to purchase from ALI the right to receive 50% of the New Equity that ALI receives
in connection with the consummation of the plan in exchange for cash in an amount equal
to $107.5 million. On July 16, 2010, ALI and Apollo entered into a letter agreement (the
US ACTIVE\43446016\20\58399.0008 18
APP-00086
"Letter Agreement") evidencing this transaction. The key terms of the transaction with
Apollo are set forth on the AIC Term Sheet, which is attached hereto as Exhibit D.
32. As set forth above, ALI is not required to consummate any of the
transactions set forth in the Plan Support Agreement or the Plan Term Sheet unless ALI
enters into an agreement with Apollo or another third party which provides for the sale of
50% of the New Equity ALI receives under Innkeepers' chapter 11 plan for a purchase
price of not less than $107.5 million.
ALI's Entry into the Plan Support Agreement,
Consummation of the Transactions Contemplated by the
Plan Term Sheet and the AIC Agreement, and LCPI's Provision of Fund
for Solar's DIP Financing Is in the Best Interests of LCPI and its Creditors
33. ALI's entry into the Plan Support Agreement, and LCPI's consent
to such, is in the best interest of LCPI, its creditors and all parties in interest, is an
exercise of the sound business judgment of both ALI and LCPI, and should be approved
by this Court. Section 363(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code provides that "It]he trustee,
after notice and a hearing, may use, sell, or lease, other than in the ordinary course of
business, property ofthe estate." Id. 363(b)(1). When considering a transaction outside
the ordinary course of business, courts in the Second Circuit, and others, require that such
transaction be based upon the sound business judgment of the debtor. Comm. of Equity
Sec. Holders v. Lionel Corp. (In re Lionel Corp.), 722 F.2d 1063, 1070 (2d Cir. 1983);

34. It is generally understood that "[w]here the debtor articulates a
reasonable basis for its business decisions (as distinct from a decision made arbitrarily or
capriciously), courts will generally not entertain objections to the debtor's conduct." In
re Johns-Manville Corp., 60 B.R. 612, 616 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1986). If a valid business
justification exists, there is a strong presumption that "the directors of a corporation acted
on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the action taken was in
the best interests of the company." In reIntegrated Res., Inc., 147 B.R. 650, 656
(S.D.N.Y. 1992) (quoting Smith v. Van Gorkom, 488 A.2d 858, 872 (Del. 1985)), appeal
dismissed, 3 F.3d 49 (2d Cir. 1993). The burden of rebutting this presumption falls to
parties opposing the proposed exercise of a debtor's business judgment. Id. (citing
Aronson v. Lewis, 473 A.2d 805, 812 (Del. 1984)).
35. The Plan Term Sheet and Plan Support Agreement are the result of
extensive, good-faith, and arms' -length negotiations between ALI/LCPI and Innkeepers,
and their respective counsel and financial advisors. The Debtors and their financial
advisors believe that these transactions will maximize ALI's recovery on the Mortgage
Loan.
36. ALI has determined that the transactions contemplated by the Plan
Support Agreement, including the conversion of its debt to equity under a pre-arranged
plan of reorganization followed by the sale of half of the New Equity to Apollo or a third-
party will provide it with a better recovery than it would likely obtain by restructuring its
debt in a "free fall" bankruptcy. Furthermore, the Plan Support Agreement allows for a
quicker and less costly restructuring of Innkeepers and enables ALI to mitigate its risk by
receiving significant up front cash. If Innkeepers is unable to consummate the plan, the
US ACTIVE\43446016\20\58399.0008 20
APP-00088
milestones provided for in the Plan Support Agreement will enable ALI to liquidate its
collateral in a structured sale or foreclosure.
37. The provision of up to approximately $17.5 million by LCPI to
Solar so that Solar can extend the Solar DIP Facility to Innkeepers is a necessary aspect
of the transaction, and benefits LCPI by improving the value of the collateral which is
currently securing the Mortgage Loan (in which LCPI holds a secured interest). Without
this commitment for funds, Marriott's obligation to forebear will cease and it may seek to
exercise its rights with respect to certain hotels in the Collateral Portfolio, a value-
destroying result for the Debtors. Furthermore, the funds being provided by LCPI are
funds that were paid by ALI to LCPI from escrows and reserves that ALI held related to
Innkeepers' debt obligations. As such, the provision of the funds to Solar is in the best
interest of LCPI and its estate and creditors.
38. The agreement between ALI and Innkeepers set forth in the Plan
Support Agreement and Plan Term Sheet is one of several mutually-dependant, global
agreements among Innkeepers and its key constituents. For example, Marriott's entry
into the Marriott Agreement, pursuant to which it has agreed to forbear from exercising
its potential rights to terminate its franchise agreements is conditioned on, among other
things, Innkeepers securing debtor-in-possession financing and completing the property
improvement work plan. The proposed DIP Facilities, in tum, are conditioned on
Marriott's willingness to support the proposed transaction and to forbear from "de-
flagging" substantially all oflnnkeepers' properties provided that the property
improvement plan work is completed by Innkeepers in accordance with the Marriott
Agreement. Taken together, these agreements have positioned Innkeepers to accomplish
US ACTIVE\43446016\20\58399.0008 21
APP-00089
a necessary balance-sheet restructuring that will preserve and maximize Innkeepers'
value for the benefit of all parties. If these agreements were to unravel, it could result in
a protracted non-consensual restructuring of Innkeepers which could severely deplete the
asset value and impair the recovery on the Mortgage Loan.
39. Based on the foregoing, LCPI respectfully submits that the
determination that ALI enter into the Plan Support Agreement and consummate the
transactions set forth in the Plan Term Sheet, the AIC Agreement (or a sale of 50% of the
New Equity to a third-party for a purchase price of not less than $107.5 million), and
LCPI's provision of up to approximately $17.5 million to Solar was an exercise of sound
business judgment.
Reservation of Rights
40. The Debtors request that nothing contained herein be deemed to be
a waiver or the relinquishment of any rights, claims, interests, obligations, benefits, or
remedies ofLCPI, or any of the Debtors or their non-debtor affiliates except as otherwise
expressly provided in this Motion, that any of the Debtors or non-debtor affiliates may
have or choose to assert on behalf of their respective estates under any provision of the
Bankruptcy Code or any applicable non-bankruptcy law, including against each other or
third parties. Additionally, the parties seek authorization to execute such further
documentation necessary to reflect this reservation of rights.

2. I am generally familiar with the Debtors' day-to-day operations, business affairs,
and books and records, as well as the Debtors' restructuring efforts. I submit this declaration
(this "Declaration") in accordance with Rule 1007-2 of the Local Bankruptcy Rules for the
Southern District of New York (the "Local Bankruptcy Rules") to assist this Court and parties
in interest in understanding the circumstances that compelled the commencement of these
Chapter 11 Cases and in support of: (a) the Debtors' petitions for relief under chapter 11 of
title 11 of the United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") filed on the date hereof (the
"Petition Date"); (b) the emergency relief that the Debtors have requested from the Court
pursuant to the motions and applications described herein (collectively, the "First Day
Pleadings"); and (c) the DIP Financings (as defined below) that the Debtors are seeking to have
approved in the near future.
3. The First Day Pleadings seek relief necessary to avoid immediate and irreparable
harm to the Debtors by allowing them to continue their operations and minimize disruptions to
their business that could otherwise result from the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases.
Specifically, the First Day Pleadings seek relief allowing the Debtors to: (a) stabilize and
maintain their business operations through, among other things, the use of cash collateral;
(b) preserve relationships with franchisors, hotel managers, customers, employees, and other key
constituencies; (c) limit disruption to the Debtors' business by continuing the use of their
prepetition cash management system; and (d) establish certain administrative procedures to
facilitate an orderly transition into, and uninterrupted operations throughout, the chapter 11
process.
4. Except as otherwise indicated, all facts set forth in this Declaration are based upon
my personal knowledge, my discussions with other members of the Debtors' management team

K&E 16632089
APP-00170
and the Debtors' advisors, my review of relevant documents and information concerning the
Debtors' operations, financial affairs, and restructuring initiatives, or my opinions based upon

Declaration. I am authorized to submit this Declaration on behalf of the Debtors.
5. To assist the Court in becoming familiar with the Debtors and the initial relief
sought by the Debtors to stabilize operations and facilitate their restructuring, this Declaration is
organized into four sections. Section I provides background information with respect to the
Debtors' corporate history and their business operations, as well as a summary of the Debtors'
prepetition capital structure and describes the plan support agreement entered into with one of
the Debtors' key constituents. Section II describes the circumstances leading to the
commencement of these Chapter 11 Cases, including the restructuring agreements that the
Debtors negotiated with their key constituents. Section III summarizes the relief requested in,
and the facts supporting, each of the First Day Pleadings and the DIP Financings. Section IV
provides an overview of the exhibits attached hereto that set forth certain additional information
about the Debtors, as required by Local Bankruptcy Rule 1007-2.
INTRODUCTION
6. Innkeepers, through its indirect subsidiaries, owns and operates an expansive
portfolio of 72 upscale and mid-priced extended-stay and select-service hotels, consisting of
approximately 10,000 rooms, located in 20 states across the United States. The Debtors operate
their hotels under premium, well-recognized brands, such as Marriott, Hyatt, Hilton, and others
(collectively, the "Franchisors"). The Debtors are able to generate significant value and stable
revenues from the broad geographic location of their properties, the diverse mix of brands in
their hotel portfolio, and the substantial tenure and comprehensive knowledge of the core
management team who oversees the Debtors' hotel enterprise on a consolidated basis.
4
K&E 16632089
APP-00171
Specifically, the consolidated ownership and management of their 72 properties allows the
Debtors to benefit from economies of scale, eliminating many of the duplicative processes and
costs that would otherwise apply to properties owned and managed on an individual basis. For
example, centralized corporate management and data systems allow the Debtors to significantly
reduce corporate overhead costs. The Debtors are also able to negotiate favorable contracts for
goods and services by using the leverage gained from their size and ability to enter into
comprehensive, national vendor contracts. In addition, the Debtors have been able to negotiate
favorable contracts with their Franchisors, who generally prefer to conduct business with owners
of multiple hotels. With 72 hotels across the United States and long-term contracts in place with
key Franchisors, the Debtors are well positioned to continue to capitalize on their substantial
hotel portfolio and to generate positive earnings after their restructuring initiatives are
implemented.
7. While the global economic crisis has certainly affected the hospitality industry,
and thus the Debtors' business and overall revenue, the Debtors' operations remain strong and
significant opportunities remain for the business in the future. Unfortunately, however, the
Debtors have an unmanageable debt load, which has impeded their ability to service funded debt
obligations as they come due. As of the Petition Date, the Debtors were in payment default on
all 11 of their loan agreements. The Debtors' substantial debt burden has hindered their ability
to appropriately maintain hotel properties in compliance with Franchise Agreements (as defined
below) and perform other upgrades necessary to increase revenue, meet competitive conditions,
and preserve asset value.
8. As of the Petition Date, the Debtors have incurred approximately $1.29 billion of
secured debt. The Debtors' largest secured loan is a securitized mortgage loan with Lehman ALI
5
K&E 16632089
APP-00172
Inc. ("Lehman") as the original lender in the face amount of $825 million, collateralized by 45
of the Debtors' hotel properties and serviced by Midland Loan Services, Inc. ("Midland"). The
Debtors' second largest secured loan, to which Lehman is the current lender, is comprised of a
floating rate senior mortgage loan in the face amount of $250 million, collateralized by 20 of the
Debtors' hotel properties, and a junior mezzanine loan in the face amount of $118 million. Each
of the Debtors' seven remaining secured mortgage loans-ranging in amounts from
approximately $24 million to $48 million-is secured by individual properties? Apollo
Investment Corporation ("AIC") owns the membership interests of Debtor Grand Prix Holdings
LLC, the direct or indirect parent of all the other Debtors.
9. Over the last several months, the Debtors have engaged in extensive negotiations
with certain of their key constituents regarding the parameters of a comprehensive restructuring.
These negotiations culminated in the Debtors' and certain of their key constituents' entry into a
series of interrelated agreements that, once implemented, will (a) facilitate a successful
reorganization of the Debtors' business, (b) allow the Debtors to maintain the existing portfolio
of hotel properties with all of the attendant benefits of a comprehensive hotel enterprise, and
(c) maximize the value of the Debtors' enterprise for the benefit of the Debtors' estates.
10. The Debtors have successfully negotiated a consensual, integrated restructuring
transaction, which includes three separate, yet wholly interrelated, agreements. On June 25,
2010, the Debtors and Marriott International, Inc. ("Marriott"), the Franchisor with whom 44 of
the Debtors' 72 hotels have entered into Franchise Agreements, entered into an agreement
(the "Marriott Agreement"), pursuant to which the Debtors agreed to provide adequate
2 One of the seven loans includes a mezzanine loan that is secured by the equity in a Debtor-entity that owns a
hotel.

APP-00173
assurance of the future completion of certain property improvement programs (as described in
Section II.C hereof, the "PIPs") on 23 of the Debtors' Marriott-branded hotels in compliance
with certain Franchise Agreements. As part of the adequate assurance, the Debtors have
committed to procure necessary financing arrangements to complete the PIPs within an
aggressive, but reasonable, timeframe. In exchange for the Debtors' commitment, Marriott has
agreed to support the Debtors' restructuring and forebear from seeking to exercise potentially
significant rights leading up to and during the Debtors' Chapter 11 Cases.
11. Marriott's agreement to forebear from seeking to exercise its rights with respect to
the Debtors' Marriott-branded hotel properties-including its right to remove the Marriott brand
from the Debtors' Marriott hotel, the exercise of which would have severely deteriorated the
value of the underlying hotel properties-paved the way for the Debtors to negotiate two
debtor-in-possession financing facilities (collectively, the "DIP Financings"), consisting of the
(a) $50.75 million Five Mile DIP Facility, the proceeds of which will be used to perform PIPs on
certain hotels securing the Debtors' obligations under the Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan
Agreement,
3
the Capmark Mission Valley Loan Agreement, and the Merrill Tysons Corner Loan
Agreement (each as defined below); and (b) $17 million Lehman DIP Facility, the proceeds of
which will be used to perform PIPs and certain other investments on certain hotels securing the
Debtors' obligations under the Floating Rate Mortgage Loan Agreement.
12. Obtaining Marriott's forbearance with respect to the Debtors' critical hotel
properties was also a precursor to the Debtors' successful negotiations with Lehman to reach the
terms of a consensual restructuring transaction and prearranged plan. The Debtors and Lehman
have entered into a plan support agreement (the "PSA"), which incorporates the terms of a
3 Five Mile Capital Partners LLC is a lender under the Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan Agreement.
7
K&E 16632089
APP-00174
prearranged restructuring and contemplates the Debtors' entry into the DIP Financings.
4
The
PSA represents a significant achievement for the Debtors because, among other things, it
provides for the significant deleveraging of the Debtors' balance sheet and permits the Debtors to
maintain their Franchise Agreements and existing portfolio of hotel properties. The Debtors'
prearranged restructuring includes the following:
Lehman will receive, in full and final satisfaction of its approximately
$238 million secured claim with respect to the Floating Rate Mortgage Loan
Agreement, 100% of the issued and outstanding new shares of common stock
issued by Innkeepers (the "New Equity"), subject to dilution by a management
equity incentive program;
The remaining secured lenders under the Debtors' prepetition credit facilities will
receive new secured notes with a value that is no less than the value of the
collateral securing their prepetition debt, unless the lenders of such facilities
otherwise agree;
Unsecured creditors (other than holders of deficiency claims) not paid pursuant to
a "first day" order will receive a share of a cash allocation; and
Holders of interests in the Debtors, including common and preferred stock, will be
cancelled, and no distributions will be made on account of such interests.
13. The Debtors understand that Lehman's willingness to enter into the PSA is
conditioned on its ability to sell a portion of its distribution of equity in the reorganized
enterprise to a third party on or after the effective date of the Debtors' confirmed chapter 11 plan
of reorganization, allowing Lehman, which is also in bankruptcy, to liquidate a portion of its plan
distributions of New Equity to mitigate the risk of its entire recovery coming in the form of
equity. It is the Debtors' understanding that, subject to certain terms and conditions, AIC may
become the purchaser. The Debtors realize that Lehman's ability to consummate the transactions
contemplated by the PSA is conditioned on Bankruptcy Court approval of such transactions in
4 A copy of the PSA, which includes and is predicated upon a chapter 11 plan term sheet of the entire enterprise
of the Debtors, is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
8
K&E 16632089
APP-00175
Lehman's bankruptcy proceedings. The Debtors expect Lehman to file a motion to approve the
transactions on or immediately after the Petition Date of these Chapter 11 Cases and to seek to
obtain Court approval within 45 days of such filing.
14. The Debtors' proposed restructuring is supported by its significant stakeholders,
including Marriott and Lehman, and constitutes an integrated, global resolution among the
Debtors and these parties. For example, Lehman's willingness to support the proposed
restructuring and to convert its debt into equity (which is necessary to deleverage the Debtors'
balance sheet and provide comfort to the Franchisors that the reorganized Debtors will have a
sustainable capital structure) is conditioned on the Debtors' retention of critical Franchise
Agreements accomplished through Marriott's forbearance with respect to critical hotel
properties. Marriott's willingness to forego any potential rights to seek to terminate its Franchise
Agreements (which forbearance is necessary to maintain the Debtors' existing, integrated
portfolio of hotels with franchise arrangements with a premium brand and avoid substantial
rebranding costs) is conditioned on the Debtors' procurement of DIP Financings, the proceeds of
which will be used to fund critical Marriott-branded hotels. In turn, the DIP Financings (which
are necessary to address Franchise Agreement default issues, as well as to fund necessary capital
expenditures on critical properties) are conditioned on Marriott's willingness to support the
proposed transaction and to forebear from de-flagging the Debtors' properties, as well as
Lehman's commitment to support an expeditious restructuring process.
15. Accordingly, the negotiation of these various components to the proposed
restructuring transaction did not occur in a vacuum. Rather, each party's agreement to
participate was carefully negotiated and, crucially, dependent upon the Debtors' obtaining
agreements from the other key parties m interest that would promote a comprehensive
9
K&E 16632089
APP-00176
restructuring of the Debtors' estates through an expeditious stay in bankruptcy. To that end, with
the support of their significant constituents, the Debtors anticipate moving expeditiously through
this chapter 11 process. As provided for in the PSA, the Debtors intend to file their plan of
reorganization and related disclosure statement within 45 days of the Petition Date. In addition,
concurrently with the filing of this Declaration, the Debtors have filed two motions seeking the
Court's approval of the DIP Financings, which will be set for hearing within 45 days of the
Petition Date.
16. The Debtors believe that the terms of the proposed, integrated restructuring,
including the DIP Financings, are in the best interest of Debtors' estates and all parties in
interest. The proposed restructuring will not only result in the elimination of a substantial
portion of the Debtors' funded indebtedness, but will also provide the Debtors with the necessary
financing to fund critical hotel maintenance and repair projects, allowing the Debtors to preserve
valuable Franchise Agreements, meet competitive conditions, and preserve asset value for the
Debtors and their estates.
I. GENERAL BACKGROUND
(a) Company Business and Overview
17. Innkeepers is a self-administered Maryland real estate investment trust ("REIT")
with a primary business focus on acquiring premium-branded upscale extended-stay, mid-priced
limited service, and select-service hotels. Innkeepers' indirect, wholly-owned limited liability
company subsidiaries, which are Debtors in these Chapter 11 Cases (the "Property Owners"),
5
5 Innkeepers, through its indirect subsidiary, KPA Raleigh, LLC, owns a 49% ownership interest in Genwood
Raleigh LLC, a joint venture fee owner of the Sheraton in Raleigh, North Carolina. Neither KP A Raleigh, LLC
nor Genwood Raleigh LLC are Debtors in these Chapter 11 Cases.
10
K&E 16632089

hold title to, or ground leases
6
in, the Debtors' 72 hotel properties. Each of the 72 Property
Owners leases its hotel property to one of nine of Innkeepers' indirect, wholly-owned taxable
REIT subsidiaries, each of which is a Debtor in these Chapter 11 Cases (the "Operating
Lessees")? The Operating Lessees are responsible for paying hotel operating expenses for the
respective Property Owners, including personnel costs, franchise royalties and related fees,
utility costs, and general repair and maintenance expenses. The Property Owners remam
responsible for ownership costs such as property taxes and msurance, ground rent (where
applicable), and capital expenditures.
18. The Debtors' primary customer base consists of business travelers, employees on
temporary work assignments or enrolled in training programs, and individuals engaged in
corporate relocations. Consistent with this customer base, the majority of Innkeepers' hotel
portfolio consists of extended-stay hotels, which are a hybrid between a hotel and an apartment,
offering longer-term accommodations with kitchens at more affordable rates than traditional full
service hotels and with more efficiency than apartments. Extended-stay hotels currently
comprise more than 68 percent of Innkeepers' hotel portfolio. In general, extended-stay hotels
are typically able to generate a more consistent revenue stream than traditional hotels due to
historically higher than average occupancy rates, longer average stays, less staff, and lower fixed
costs.
6 The Debtors have ground leases for the following properties: Courtyard by Marriott in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida;
Best Western in Palm Beach, Florida; and Hampton Inn in Woburn, Massachusetts. The minimum annual rent
payable under these leases is approximately $600,000 in the aggregate.
7 Innkeepers, through its indirect subsidiary, KPA Raleigh Leaseco LLC, owns a 49% ownership interest in
Genwood Raleigh Lessee LLC, the property lessee of the Sheraton in Raleigh, North Carolina. Neither KP A
Raleigh Leaseco LLC nor Genwood Raleigh Lessee LLC are Debtors in these Chapter 11 Cases.
11
K&E 16632089
APP-00178
19. The Operating Lessees have entered into various hotel management agreements
(the "Hotel Management Agreements") with Island Hospitality Management, Inc. ("Island")
and with Dimension Development Company, Inc. ("Dimension," and together with Island, the
"Hotel Managers") to manage the hotel properties. The Debtors' management is responsible for
overseeing the Hotel Managers. Island manages all of the Debtors' hotels except for the
Sheraton Four Points in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida, which is managed by Dimension. Pursuant
to the Hotel Management Agreements, the Hotel Managers generally are required to perform or
provide for all operational and management functions necessary to operate the hotels. Among
other things, the Hotel Managers, on behalf of the Debtors, pay all property level expenses of the
hotels (including payroll),
8
contract with service providers, and purchase all goods and materials
utilized in the operation of the business. Generally, the Hotel Managers fund the hotel operating
expenses out of the Property Lessees' centralized cash account, over which the Hotel Managers
have signing authority. When the Hotel Managers have to fund expenses, the Operating Lessees
reimburse the Hotel Managers periodically through hotel expense reimbursement reconciliations.
In addition, the Hotel Managers receive management fees prescribed by the Hotel Management
Agreements.
20. The Debtors seek to affiliate their hotels with premier franchise companies and
brands that offer robust marketing support and services and that have demonstrated their ability
to command revenue premiums over other brands. The table below sets forth information
regarding the Debtors' hotels by brand (ordered based on the number of rooms by brand):
Brand #of Hotels #of Rooms %of Total
Residence Inn by Marriott 40 5,194 53%
8 The Debtors, through the Hotel Managers, employ approximately 2,550 employees in connection with the
operation of the hotels.

TownePlace Suites by Marriott 1 95 1%

TOTAL 72 9,767 100%
21. The franchise licenses for the hotels are held by the Operating Lessees and are
governed by franchise agreements (collectively, the "Franchise Agreements") between the
Operating Lessees and the franchise owners. All hotels in the table above except for the
Gatehouse Inns and the Bulfinch Hotel operate under Franchise Agreements. Under the
Franchise Agreements, the Debtors are required to pay franchise fees based on a percentage of
hotel room revenue, and must allow Franchisors to inspect their licensed hotels periodically to
confirm adherence to stated brand operating standards. These inspections can result in additional
capital expenditure requirements or additional operational, marketing, or repairs and
maintenance expenses. Grand Prix Holdings LLC, Innkeepers' direct parent and a Debtor in
these Chapter 11 Cases, has guaranteed certain of the Property Lessees' obligations under certain
of the Franchise Agreements.
22. The Debtors generate a majority of their revenue from guests who stay at the hotel
properties. As such, the Debtors' stream of revenue is dependent on maintaining and improving
13
K&E 16632089
APP-00180
key operating metrics, including occupancy, average daily rate ("ADR"), and revenue per
available room ("RevPAR"),
9
of their hotels. In 2009, the Debtors' consolidated revenues were
approximately $292 million (down from $348 million in 2008, a 16 percent drop) and their
adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") were
approximately $85 million (down from $123 million in 2008, a 31 percent drop). The Debtors'
consolidated assets for 2009 totaled approximately $1.5 billion and consolidated liabilities
totaled approximately $1.5 billion.
(b) The Debtors' Corporate History and Organizational Structure
23. In June 2007, AIC, through certain subsidiaries, acquired Innkeepers
(the "Acquisition"), which was a publicly traded company whose shares were listed on the New
York Stock Exchange. The Acquisition was funded with equity invested by AIC (through
certain subsidiaries), the assumption of certain secured debt outstanding prior to the Acquisition,
and certain secured debt incurred at the time of the Acquisition. All of Innkeepers' common
shares outstanding at the time of the Acquisition were acquired for cash and then extinguished.
Innkeepers' $145 million 8% Series C Cumulative Preferred Shares (defined below) outstanding
prior to the Acquisition remained outstanding after the Acquisition. In consideration for AIC's
$250 million equity investment, AIC's subsidiary Grand Prix Holdings LLC, a Debtor in these
Chapter 11 Cases, was issued all (except for relatively small amounts currently held by
management) of Innkeepers' newly issued (a) common shares and (b) 12% Series A Cumulative
Preferred Shares (defined below).

room revenues, such as food and beverage, parking, telephone, and other guest service revenues.

25. As of March 31, 2010, the Debtors had incurred aggregate funded secured
indebtedness of approximately $1.42 billion, including approximately $1.29 billion of
property-level secured debt, approximately $1.05 billion of which was securitized and sold in the
commercial mortgage-backed security ("CMBS") market. The Debtors incurred the vast
majority of their funded debt in connection with the Acquisition. The debt is secured by
mortgages on the hotels or pledges of the equity of the Property Owners. The Debtors' funded
secured debt is separated into nine general groups, the mortgages of each of which is secured by
distinct hotel properties and the mezzanine loans of each of which is secured by related equity
interests in the Property Owners. Each of these groups is discussed below. Additionally, the
Debtors have four issuances of equity, which is also discussed below.
1. The $825 Million Fixed Rate CMBS Pool
26. Forty-five of the Property Owners, collectively as borrowers, and Lehman, as
original lender, are parties to that certain Loan Agreement (as amended, the "Fixed Rate

collateralized by the 45 hotel properties owned by the Property Owners that are borrowers under
the Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan Agreement. The Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan Obligations have a
maturity date of July 9, 2017. The Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan Agreement mortgage loans have
been securitized and sold into the CMBS market. Half of the Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan
Obligations are part of a mortgage loan pool knows as LB-UBS Commercial Mortgage Trust
2007-C6, for which LaSalle Bank, N.A. ("LaSalle") is trustee and Midland serves as special
servicer. The other half of the Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan Obligations are part of a mortgage
loan pool known as LB-UBS Commercial Mortgage Trust 2007-C7, for which LaSalle is trustee
and LNR Property Corp. serves as special servicer.

Floating Rate Mezzanine Loan
27. Twenty of the Property Owners, collectively as borrower, and Lehman, as lender,
are parties to that certain Loan Agreement (as amended, the "Floating Rate Mortgage Loan
Agreement"), dated as of June 29, 2007. The Floating Rate Mortgage Loan Agreement provides
for mortgage loans to the 20 Property Owners in the original principal amount of $250 million
(the "Floating Rate Mortgage Loan Obligations"), which amount is collateralized by the 20
hotels owned by the Property Owners that are borrowers under the Floating Rate Mortgage Loan
Agreement. The Floating Rate Mortgage Loan Obligations matured on July 9, 2010, which
maturity date is subject to three conditional one-year extensions. The Floating Rate Mortgage
Loan Agreement originally was intended to be securitized and sold into the CMBS market,
however, that did not end up occurring.
28. Grand Prix Mezz Borrower Floating 2, LLC, the 100 percent owner of the 20
borrowers under the Floating Rate Mortgage Loan Agreement, as borrower, and Lehman, as
original lender, are parties to that certain Mezzanine Loan Agreement (as amended, the
18
K&E 16632089
APP-00185
"Floating Rate Mezzanine Loan Agreement"), dated as of June 29, 2007. The Floating Rate
Mezzanine Loan Agreement provides for a junior mezzanine loan in the original principal
amount of $118 million (the "Floating Rate Mezzanine Loan Obligations"), which amount is
collateralized by Grand Prix Mezz Borrower Floating 2, LLC's equity interests in the 20
Property Owners that are borrowers under the Floating Rate Mortgage Loan Agreement. The
Floating Rate Mezzanine Loan Agreement Obligations mature on July 9, 2010, which maturity
date is subject to three conditional one-year extensions.
3. The $13.7 Million Anaheim Mortgage Loan and $21.3 Million Anaheim
Mezzanine Loan
29. RLJ Anaheim Suites Hotel L.P. ("RLJ Anaheim"), as borrower and GMAC
Commercial Mortgage Bank, as lender, are parties to that certain Deed of Trust Note
(as amended, the "Anaheim Mortgage Loan Agreement"), dated as of June 14, 2005. Pursuant
to that certain Loan Assumption, Affirmation, and Modification Agreements, dated as of October
4, 2006 and June 29, 2007, KPA HS Anaheim LLC ("KPA HS Anaheim") assumed all ofRLJ
Anaheim's obligations under the Anaheim Mortgage Loan Agreement. As a result, the Anaheim
Mortgage Loan Agreement provides that KP A HS Anaheim is obligated under a mortgage loan
in the original principal amount of $13.7 million (the "Anaheim Mortgage Loan Obligation"),
which amount is collateralized by the Hilton Suites in Anaheim, California. The Anaheim
Mortgage Loan Obligation matured on July 1, 2010. The Anaheim Mortgage Loan Agreement
was sold into the CMBS market and is part of a mortgage loan pool known as Credit Suisse First
Boston Mortgage Securities Corp., Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series
2005-C5, for which Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. ("Wells Fargo") is trustee, Capmark Finance Inc.

under the Anaheim Mortgage Loan Agreement, including the right to payment of the Floating
Rate Mortgage Loan Obligations and all remedies, terms, and covenants contained in the
Floating Rate Mortgage Loan Agreement.
4. The $47.4 Million Capmark Mission Valley CMBS Mortgage Loan
32. KPA RIMY, LLC, as borrower, and Capmark Bank, as lender, are parties to that
certain Deed of Trust Note (the "Capmark Mission Valley Loan Agreement"), dated as of
October 4, 2006. Pursuant to that certain Loan Assumption, Affirmation, and Modification
Agreement, dated June 29, 2007, Grand Prix RIMY Lessee, LLC ("Grand Prix RIMV")

10. 12% Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock
38. As discussed above, AIC's subsidiary Grand Prix Holdings, LLC, whose officers
and directors, appointed by AIC, conduct all significant decision-making and board meetings in
New York, was issued substantially all of Innkeepers' shares of 12% Series A cumulative
preferred stock (the "12% Series A Cumulative Preferred Shares") in exchange for AIC's
equity contribution in connection with the Acquisition. Since the Acquisition, no distributions
have been made on account of the 12% Series A Cumulative Preferred Shares.
11. 8% Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock
39. In January 2004, Innkeepers completed an offering of 5.8 million shares of
8% Series C cumulative perpetual preferred stock (the "8% Series C Cumulative Preferred
Shares"). The net proceeds from the offering were approximately $145 million, a portion of
which was used by Innkeepers to redeem a previously issued series of preferred stock. The
8% Series C Cumulative Preferred Shares were publicly offered and survived the Acquisition,
and the Debtors believe these shares are widely held. Since December 2008, no distributions
have been made on account of the 8% Series C Cumulative Preferred Shares.
12. Class D Preferred Units
40. Prior to the Acquisition, Innkeepers USA Limited Partnership, a Debtor in these
Chapter 11 Cases, issued preferred units of limited partnership interests to certain parties who
contributed hotel properties to the Debtors. The holders of approximately 81,000 preferred units
elected to continue to hold their investment after the Acquisition, in the form of Class D
preferred units of limited partnership interest (the "Class D Preferred Units"). The cumulative
redemption value of the Class D Preferred Units is $1.4 million, and, pursuant to the relevant
24
K&E 16632089
APP-00191
documents, each Class D Preferred Unit is entitled to distributions equal to $0.8875 per share
annually. Additionally, holders of the Class D Preferred Units guaranteed approximately $8.1
million of the Debtors' non-recourse debt. Since December 2008, no distributions have been
made on account of the Class D Preferred Units.
13. Common Stock
41. As noted above, at the time of the Acquisition, the then-outstanding shares of
Innkeepers' common stock were extinguished and new shares of common stock were issued. As
of the Petition Date, Grand Prix Holdings LLC held substantially all of Innkeepers' current
outstanding common stock.
II. EVENTS LEADING TO THE CHAPTER 11 FILING
42. A number of factors have contributed to the Debtors' decision to commence these
Chapter 11 Cases. Although the Debtors' business model is sound, their operating losses from
decreased room revenue, significant liquidity constraints, and considerable funded debt burden,
resulting from unprecedented adverse changes in the economy and hospitality industry generally,
have impaired the Debtors' ability to meet their current debt obligations and certain current
obligations under their Franchise Agreements.
(a) Recent Economic Crisis and Its Impact on the Hotel Industry and the
Debtors
43. Over the last two years, the global travel and tourism industry has faced one of the
most difficult operating environments in a number of decades due to the unparalleled turmoil that
beset the global and United States economies. A weak economy and plummeting demand for
hotel accommodations, which can be traced to reduced consumer spending, higher fuel prices,
increased unemployment, and a severe decline in business travel, have caused one of the deepest
and longest recessions in the history of the hospitality and lodging industries. During this time,
25
K&E 16632089
APP-00192
supply also increased within the hospitality industry, exacerbating the negative impact of
decreased demand within the industry? Unlike previous historic events that hurt the hotel
industry, such as September 11 and the SARS outbreak, the fallout from the 2008-2009 recession
has lasted significantly longer and has had a far more adverse impact on the hospitality sector.
44. In the hotel industry, performance is generally measured by RevP AR (revenue per
available room). RevP AR identifies trends with respect to room revenues from comparable hotel
properties and can be used to evaluate hotel performance on a regional and segment basis.
Comparing recent RevP AR against prior years, the magnitude of the rapid and unprecedented
deterioration is readily apparent. In 2009, RevP AR in the hotel industry experienced the largest
annual decline since the Great Depression, falling by 16.7 percent.
45. Other operating statistics similarly demonstrate the depth of the industry's
decline. Contributing to the RevPAR decline in 2009, the industry's average daily rate, or ADR,
fell by 8.8 percent, compared to a 20-year industry annual average increase of 2.8 percent. In
2009, the average daily occupancy rate decreased by 8.6 percent, compared to a 20-year industry
annual average decline of 0.7 percent. The hotel industry has also suffered a severe decline in
food and beverage sales, meeting, conference, and banquette hall rentals, and other guest
services that generate additional revenue. Against this background, several of the Debtors'
competitors filed for bankruptcy within the last two years, including, among others, Extended
Stay Hotels, RM Hotels, Inc., Celebrity Resorts, Inc., Paradise Palms, LLC, River Road Hotel
Partners, LLC, and Consolidated Resorts, Inc.
2 Based on reports prepared by Smith Travel Research, in 2009, supply increased by 3.2 percent and demand
decreased by 5.8 percent, compared to a 20-year average increase in supply and demand of 2 percent and
1.4 percent, respectively.
26
K&E 16632089
APP-00193
46. The Debtors have not been insulated from these multi-year, record-breaking
declines plaguing the hotel industry. In 2009, the Debtors' RevPAR, ADR, and occupancy rate
metrics decreased by 16.3 percent, 10.8 percent, and 6.1 percent, respectively. Due to the
Debtors' focus on the business consumer, their hotel portfolio has been especially impacted by
an overall tightening on corporate travel, training, and relocation expenditures. Certainly, the
worst recession in 60 years has left corporations intent on saving rather than spending, and, in
2009, domestic and international business travel spending in the United States declined sharply.
(b) The Debtors' Substantial Funded Debt Burden and Limited Access to
Capital
47. In addition to reducing overall demand and significantly impairing the Debtors'
overall revenue, the rapid softening of the economy and tightening of the financial markets have
limited the Debtors' financial flexibility. As a result, the Debtors have no real ability to
recapitalize or reduce their debt burdens. Strategies that the Debtors might have previously
employed to extend maturities and maintain liquidity are no longer available. These adverse
changes have severely limited the Debtors' ability to satisfy their obligations as they come due.
48. Limited access to capital is particularly significant in light of the Debtors' large
debt service obligations. Specifically, the Debtors have failed to satisfy their debt service
obligations as they came due under the following loan agreements: (a) the payment for the
Capmark Ontario Loan Agreement on October 1, 2009; (b) the payment for the Fixed Rate
Mortgage Loan Agreement on April 9, 2010; (c) the payments for the Anaheim Mezzanine Loan
Agreement, Capmark Mission Valley Loan Agreement, Capmark Garden Grove Loan
Agreement, Merrill Lynch Washington D.C. Loan Agreement, Merrill Lynch Tysons Comer
Loan Agreement, and Merrill Lynch San Antonio Loan Agreement, each on May 1, 2010; and
27
K&E 16632089
APP-00194
(d) the payment for the Anaheim Mortgage Loan Agreement, Floating Rate Mortgage Loan
Agreement, and Floating Rate Mezzanine Loan Agreement, each on June 10, 2010.
49. Given their limited access to capital, the Debtors were forced to depend only on
funds generated from operations. On March 23, 2010, Wachovia, the master servicer of the
LB-UBS Commercial Mortgage Trust 2007-C6 mortgage loan pool of the Fixed Rate Mortgage
Loan Agreement informed the Debtors that an alleged "Triggering Event" under the June 29,
2007 Cash Management Agreement had occurred and indicated that as a result, Wachovia would
need to "spring" certain unidentified lockbox accounts? A lockbox over the Debtors' accounts
would have had disastrous results for Innkeepers. Approximately 80 percent of the Debtors'
revenues come from credit card receipts. If the Debtors were unable to access funds generated
from credit card receivables it would have been unable to pay hotel employees, vendors, or
continue to operate the hotels.
4
A lockbox over the Debtors' credit card receivables alone would
have required the Debtors to cease operations for a significant number of hotels, which would
have severely impacted the Debtors' enterprise value as well as the value of each affected
property. In light of these concerns, the Debtors directed credit card proceeds to their Cash
Management Account until such time as an arrangement could be reached with the loan servicer
(or special servicer) that would allow the Debtors to continue to operate the hotels.
5
3 The Cash Management Agreement between various Borrowers, Grand Prix Fixed Lessee LLC as Operating
Lessee, Wachovia Bank National Association as Agent, Lehman ALI, Inc. as Lender, and Island Hospitality
Management, Inc. as Manager was entered into on June 29, 2007. The Cash Management Agreement contains
various provisions governing the establishment of various Cash Management Accounts and, among other
things, the deposit of Gross Income from Operations into certain Lockbox Accounts under certain
circumstances defined in the Cash Management Agreement. Triggering Events are defined in the Cash
Management Agreement.
4 Under the relevant loan agreements, the Debtors were permitted, absent an Event of Default, to comingle cash
for the benefit of overall the Debtors' enterprise.
5 On April 19, 2010, Wachovia did provide formal notice that it was initiating a lockbox over the Debtors'
accounts, including the Debtors' master account over which Wachovia had no security interest.
(continued on next page)
28
K&E 16632089
APP-00195
50. These actions were taken to meet the Debtors' day-to-day business obligations, to
preserve the value of their hotel properties for the benefit of their enterprise and constituents, and
to keep the Debtors' hotel businesses in operation. The Debtors subsequently negotiated with
Wachovia and then the Special Servicer, Midland, to keep the affected hotels open and
operating. During these negotiations, the Debtors offered to fully reconcile all amounts directed
to the Debtors' Cash Management Account and, in fact, did so. By early May 2010, the Debtors
and Midland reached an agreement under which all credit card receivables were paid by the
Debtors to Midland, fully reconciling the amounts previously directed to the Cash Management
Account, and Midland would pay on a going forward basis the operating expenses of the hotels
to permit the Debtors to continue to operate the hotels. Midland and the Debtors, as of the
Petition Date, continue to operate under this arrangement.
51. The Debtors' level of indebtedness is of significant import in this case because,
with essentially all cash flow from operations being directed to debt service, the Debtors' cash is
not available for other purposes, such as maintaining the hotel properties in a condition that
complies with the Franchise Agreements and performing other upgrades to capitalize on
opportunities to increase revenue and to meet competitive conditions and preserve asset value.
(c) The Debtors' Inability to Fund PIP Obligations
52. In addition to placing a burden on the Debtors' ability to meet debt service
obligations and fund day-to-day business operations, the lack of available cash makes it
impossible for the Debtors to sufficiently fund capital expenditures on hotel properties necessary
to comply with their obligations under the Franchise Agreements.
6
Certain of the Franchise
6 As of the Petition Date, the Debtors have approximately $15.8 million earmarked to perform certain PIP
obligations and intends to commence such obligations throughout the bankruptcy process. But, this amount is
(continued on next page)
29
K&E 16632089
APP-00196
Agreements include provisions that require the Debtors to comply with property improvement
programs ("PIPs"), under which they are obligated to perform certain renovations and other
capital improvements to their hotel properties, such as replacing furniture, fixtures, and
equipment. While necessary, the required PIP improvements are costly, subject to delays, and
disrupt operations and displace revenue at the hotels while rooms under renovation are out of
service.
53. Franchisors periodically inspect the hotels to ensure the Debtors' compliance with
their operating standards and the PIPs, the breach of which could result in the termination of a
Franchise Agreement. The loss of a Franchise Agreement for a hotel would have an immediate
and material adverse effect on the underlying value of the hotel due to the loss of associated
name recognition, marketing support, brand loyalty, and centralized reservation systems
provided by the Franchisors. Pursuant to prior agreement, in September of 2009, a Residence
Inn Franchise Agreement with respect to a hotel property in Columbus, Ohio terminated.
Subsequent to termination, revenue precipitously dropped by 50 percent and the property was
sold for a fraction of its appraised value from only two years prior.
54. As of the Petition Date, the Debtors received numerous notices of potential
default from Franchisors, including 22 notices of default from Marriott. The Debtors own 44
hotels under Marriott brands, more than half of which are "Generation 1" Residence Inn by
Marriott extended-stay hotels. Generation 1 Residence Inn hotels resemble garden style
apartments with multiple 2 to 3 story buildings, each comprised of 8 rooms with exterior access
to each room. In contrast, subsequent generations of Residence Inn hotels typically feature more
significantly less than the amount required to satisfy all the Debtors' PIP obligations under the Franchise
Agreements.
30
K&E 16632089
APP-00197
rooms in a single multi-story building with interior corridors. Upkeep costs associated with
older Generation 1 Residence Inn hotels are typically higher than other types of hotel properties
because of their age (generally 20 to 30 years), layout (8 or more buildings located on large
parcels of land), and inefficient utilization of heating and other utilities.
55. As a result, many Generation 1 franchise agreements are not being renewed as
they mature or are exiting the Residence Inn system before the maturity of their franchise
agreements. As the Residence Inn by Marriott brand grows (with over 600 in the brand system
currently), the importance of Generation 1 hotels to the Residence Inn brand will continue to
decrease. Maintaining the Franchise Agreements on the Debtors' Generation 1 hotels is
critically important for their cash flow and enterprise value. The loss of revenue (and cash flow)
associated with an immediate withdrawal of the Debtors' Generation 1 hotels from the Residence
Inn system would have a severely detrimental effect on the Debtors' entire enterprise as
Generation 1 Residence Inn hotels comprise approximately 31 percent of Innkeepers annual
revenue. Recognizing this, the Debtors reached agreement with Marriott in 2007 for the Debtors
to (a) complete extensive PIPs on most of its Generation 1 hotels in exchange for Franchise
Agreement extensions until at least 2021 and (b) permit the early expiration of the franchise
agreements on six smaller Generation 1 Residence Inns located in non-core mid-Western
markets.
56. The dramatic reduction in Innkeepers' RevP AR, coupled with its significant debt
burden and an inability to access new capital, have rendered the Debtors unable to comply with
their PIP obligations under the Marriott (and other) Franchise Agreements. On March 16, 2010,
Marriott sent to the Debtors the default notices referenced above. The Marriott default notices
state that if the Debtors failed to perform the required PIP obligations by June 14, 2010, the 22
31
K&E 16632089
APP-00198
Marriott Franchise Agreements would immediately terminate as of that date. The PIP deadline
has subsequently been extended from time to time by Marriott and is currently July 18, 2010.
57. The Debtors' inability to invest in their hotel properties, along with the collapse of
the real estate market, have caused the value of the Debtors' hotels to severely decline, resulting
in the overall erosion of the Debtors' enterprise value. As a result, it is clear that a
comprehensive restructuring of the entire capital structure is necessary to preserve and maximize
value.
(d) Restructuring Efforts
1. Cost Savings
58. To address the liquidity constraints caused by the tightening credit markets,
decreased consumer demand, and high debt service carrying costs, since the first quarter of 2008,
the Debtors' management has taken several proactive steps to reduce costs, restructure their
business operations, and address operational cash shortfalls. These initiatives have included:
a company-wide labor reduction to the minimal staffing levels possible without
harming guest satisfaction (including for both the Debtors' and the Hotel Managers'
employees);
a 5 percent salary reduction for all personnel;
the renegotiation of benefit programs in an effort to lower costs (with employees'
share of obligations increased);
the suspension of the Debtors' discretionary 401(k) plan matching;
the termination of distributions to Innkeepers' 8% Series C stockholders beginning in
December 2008;
the reduction of certain fixed costs, including the renegotiation of maintenance,
grounds cleaning, and vendor contracts; and
32
K&E 16632089
APP-00199
the immediate cessation of all non-emergency capital expenditures on the hotel
properties beginning in late 2008 and the related settlement for approximately
$8.5 million of approximately $13.1 million outstanding capital expenditure
obligations for work performed and goods ordered.
59. The result of the Debtors' efforts has been positive. From 2008 to 2010, the
Debtors were able to reduce their annual costs by approximately $24 million. However, despite
this reduction, due to the current economic climate and ongoing credit crisis, the Debtors have
concluded that their liquidity would continue to erode and potentially could be exacerbated by
further declines in the hospitality market. In addition, the Debtors have determined that any new
debt or equity investments would be unlikely unless they could restructure their existing debt
given the current amount of outstanding debt owed to their lenders. The Debtors also have
concluded that they would need additional liquidity to meets their near term obligations under
the Franchise Agreements.
2. Restructuring Negotiations
60. Against this backdrop, the Debtors began to weigh their options with respect to a
broad financial restructuring that would provide the Debtors with the flexibility necessary to
continue their business on a going forward basis. To that end, in November 2008, the Debtors
hired Marc Beilinson, an independent director of Innkeepers since 2007, as Chief Restructuring
Officer to explore alternative restructuring opportunities? In addition, in early 2010, the Debtors
retained Kirkland & Ellis LLP ("Kirkland") and Moelis & Co. LLC ("Moelis") to initiate
discussions with the Debtors' constituents regarding a possible comprehensive restructuring and
financial alternatives for improving the Debtors' balance sheet.
7 Marc Beilinson is a former restructuring attorney with over 25 years of experience. In November 2009, Mr.
Beilinson was elected to serve as an independent director on the board of directors of Apollo Commercial Real
Estate Finance Inc., a publicly traded REIT. Mr. Beilinson continues to serve on this board as an independent
director, as defined under the NYSE per se rules on director independence.
33
K&E 16632089
APP-00200
61. With the assistance of these advisors, the Debtors reviewed and analyzed their
business operations and determined the cash necessary to maintain their operations and work
towards a successful restructuring. In undertaking this analysis, the Debtors and their advisors
considered the impact of the current economic outlook on the Debtors' near-term projected
financial performance, including the demand for hotel accommodations and projected cost to
complete the PIPs and other capital improvements necessary to maintain the value of the
properties. Because of high levels of current debt, the immediate crisis caused by the impending
Marriot defaults, and the Debtors' inability to satisfy their debt service obligations as they came
due, it became clear that a comprehensive balance sheet restructuring through a chapter 11
proceeding was the best available restructuring alternative for the Debtors and their estates.
62. Thus, the Debtors engaged several parties, including Marriot, Lehman, and certain
prepetition lenders who have agreed to extend the DIP Financings, in extensive negotiations
leading up to the filing of these Chapter 11 Cases. Ultimately, these negotiations, which were
conducted in good faith and at arm's length, culminated in a series of interrelated agreements
that will, among other things: (a) deleverage the Debtors' balance sheet, minimizing interest
payments and releasing previously encumbered cash for other purposes; (b) fund PIP and other
capital expenditures necessary to retain premium brand affiliations, maintain customer loyalty,
and improve the Debtors' industry market share; and (c) avoid any alleged potential change of
control defaults that would jeopardize the Debtors' Franchise Agreements.
III. RELIEF SOUGHT IN THE DEBTORS' FIRST DAY PLEADINGS
63. It is critically important for the Debtors to maintain the loyalty and goodwill of,
among other constituencies, their Franchisors, employees, customers, and Property Managers.
Achieving this goal is likely to be particularly challenging while operating in chapter 11. To that
end, the Debtors have filed the First Day Pleadings seeking relief intended to allow the Debtors
34
K&E 16632089
APP-00201
to effectively transition into chapter 11 and m1mm1ze disruption to the Debtors' business
operations, thereby preserving and maximizing the value of the Debtors' estates. Unless this
"first day" relief is granted, I believe the Debtors' business operations will suffer significant
adverse immediate and irreparable consequences.
64. Several of the First Day Pleadings request authority to pay certain prepetition
claims. I am told by my advisors that Rule 6003 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedures
provides, in relevant part, that the Court shall not consider motions to pay prepetition claims
during the first 21 days following the filing of a chapter 11 petition, "except to the extent relief is
necessary to avoid immediate and irreparable harm." In light of this requirement, and as set forth
below, the Debtors have narrowly tailored their requests for immediate authority to pay certain
prepetition claims to those circumstances where the failure to pay such claims would cause
immediate and irreparable harm to the Debtors and their estates. As part of this, certain relief
will be deferred for consideration at a later hearing.
65. I have reviewed each of the First Day Pleadings. The facts stated therein and
attached hereto as Exhibit B are true and correct to the best of my information and belief, and I
believe that the relief sought in each of the First Day Pleadings is necessary to enable the
Debtors to operate in chapter 11 with minimal disruption to their business operations and
constitutes a critical element in successfully restructuring the Debtors' business.
IV. INFORMATION REQUIRED BY LOCAL BANKRUPTCY RULE 1007-2
66. Local Bankruptcy Rule 1007-2 requires certain information related to the Debtors,

business judgment PSA, but you can
answer.
A Do you mean -- what do you mean by
third party?
Q. Sure. You said the valuation was
determined in the course of the transaction.
I just want to understand who did the
valuation.
A In many cases our investments are
made in connection with the acquisition of a
company. Typically by a sponsor or firms we
refer to as financial sponsors and they may
have reached an agreement to acquire a
business at a price privately in the
negotiated process that we were not part of
or privy to, or they may have reached an
agreement to acquire a business in an
auction. Again, part of a valuation process

that we were not part of or privy to.

MR. SOLOMON: That was good. You 7

A. ~ s . 9
Q. And how did you come to that 0
understanding? 1
A. The -- I don't specifically recall. 2
There were -- subsequent to initial 3
discussions between the company and Lehman 4
about -- I guess the interest payment default 5
would have triggered the first series of 6
conversations. Subsequent to an initial, an 7
initial meeting between the company and 8
Lehman where a discussion occurred about 9
Lehman having a role in the company's ? 0
restructuring as a, you know, in a potential ? 1
conversion of its note to equity, sometime ? 2
after that conversation I believe discussions ? 3
were had where the topic was raised that ? 4
Lehman may want to, you know, I guess as it's ? 5

described here, sell a portion of its
distribution of equity, if such a transaction
were to occur.

Q. Do you recall when the first
conversations or discussions where the topic
was raised concerning Lehman potentially
wanting to sell a portion of its distribution
equity?
MR. EHRLICH: Conversations between
whom and whom?
MR. SOLOMON: Conversations he
identified or discussions or topics he
identified in his last answer.
A. The specific date and time, no.
Generally I would say it was relatively soon
after the initial meeting I described, which
would have been in late April, if my memory
serves correct.
Q. April 22, 2010?
A. That sounds like the initial
meeting I was referring to, yes.
Q. Approximately how soon after is
relatively soon?
A. I don't recall.
Hewes
Q. Within a week?
A. That sounds reasonable.
Q. Was the subject of Lehman's
potentially or possibly wanting to sell a
portion of its distribution equity ever
discussed by the Innkeepers board?
A. Was discussed --
THE WITNESS: Can you repeat the
question.
(A portion of the record was read.)
A. I believe at the final board
meeting immediately prior to -- immediately
prior to the bankruptcy filing, the
transactions that ultimately are reflected in
this document were discussed. Prior to that,
I don't recall.
37
Q. And among those transactions you're
referring to in your last answer was the
potential for Lehman to sell a portion of its
debt equity; is that correct?
A. Yes.

conversation, in fact, that conversation in

Marriott termination letter were certainly 2
not clear to us on the 1st of January and so 3
I think the question of, as to whether we had 4
an economic interest was -- was uncertain. 5
At the beginning of that time frame and 6
towards the end of the time frame I think it 7
became certainly more certain that we did not 8
have an economic interest. 9
Q. Why did it become more certain that o
you did not have an economic interest? 1
A. Well, as I just described, the 2
business had been struggling for some time 3
to, you know, given the industry performance 4
and the economy, the Marriott termination 5
letter created certain, what I would 6
characterize as emergency or immediate 7
liquidity issues. They required the company 8
to invest significant amounts of dollars in 9
certain properties in a limited period of ? 0
time and given the analysis of the amount ? 1
money and the duration in which Marriott ? 2
requested it be spent, it became clear that ? 3
the company did not have those funds and ? 4
could not raise those funds given its current ? 5

5 you know, subsequent to the Marriott 5
6 termination letter, which took us some time 6
7 to review and digest the implications, it 7

sole shareholder of the company, do you
recall that?
A. Yes, and I would, I would qualify
that by saying I believe management owned a
small percentage of the shares, it's
relatively material.
Q. When did AIC become a shareholder
of the company?
A. In, I believe, the acquisition of
the company closed in June of 2007.
Q. Did you have any role in the
transaction?
A. I did not.
MR. SOLOMON: I am going to ask the

precisely one of the reasons I know I didn't

remember any iteration of this transaction
that contemplated 62 percent of the equity
being purchased by AIC ever.

Q. The second meeting now, the one
that occurred on or about April 22nd, who
attended that meeting?
A. Again, there was -- well, let me
start by saying I attended a portion of that
meeting. There was a significant portion
which I was not present at and I can't
testify as to the attendees during that
portion of the meeting. From Lehman Brothers
I recall Michael Lascher and Susanne Frey,
only because they're the only names I know
there. There may have been someone else
there from Lehman, I don't recall. I believe
they brought advisors.
Q. They being Lehman in that answer?
A. Yeah, and again, my memory is
fuzzy, I don't recall specifically but they
may have had someone there from, from their
outside counsel and representatives from the
company.
Q. The company being Innkeepers?
A. Uh-huh.
Q. Is that a yes, sir?
A. Yes.

A. (Continuing) And one or two
representatives from Moelis & Company.
Q. You indicated that you attended a
portion of the meeting?
A. Correct.
Q. Was anyone else from AIC there?
A. I believe Justin Korval attended
the same portion of the meeting that I did.
Q. And what portion was that? What
was discussed during that portion?
A. It was the beginning portion of the
meeting. The-- if you go back to the first
meeting, as you recall, I indicated that
Lehman had requested a meeting with the
company to discuss the interest payment
default and other issues. The company
indicated it was in such a severe situation
that some sort of restructuring would be
required. Given that there had been no real
agenda for that initial meeting, there was no
preparation or there were -- and as I
indicated, there were no materials

refers to "Lehman and investor to share 2

Do you see that? 4
A. I do. 5
Q. At the meeting held on or about 6
April 22nd, was there any discussion as to 7
who that investor would be? 8
A. I don't recall. I mean I think 9
that Lehman had indicated a desire, should it 0
exchange its debt for equity, not to be the 1
sole individual shareholder. Presumably 2
that's what this is referring to. 3

that expressed by AIC?
A. I don't recall specifically, but it
would have been -- it would have been around
this time frame.
Q. When for the first time did AIC
contemplate the potential for purchasing a
portion of the equity.
Do you understand the difference
between my questions? My first question was
when it was expressed, and you've answer
that. I want to know if AIC had contemplated
that scenario before expressing it and if so,
when?
MR. EHRLICH: Objection to form.
You can answer.
A. I think prior to the first meeting
that we discussed earlier, candidly it wasn't
clear to us in any way what the outcome of
the company's issues might be. And so I
would say I don't recall any contemplation
prior to that first meeting of investing in
new money into any sort of restructuring
transaction. I mean candidly we thought, we
didn't see that scenario as a possibility.

MR. SOLOMON: I am going to ask the
court reporter to mark as Exhibit 10 a
document LEH-ALI 41 through 50.
(Exhibit Hewes-1 0, Illustrative
Terms of Proposed Restructuring, June 4,
2010, Bates Nos. LEH-ALI 000041 through
LEH-ALI 000050, marked for

Q. Have you seen this document before
today?
A. Other than in preparation for this
meeting, I don't believe so, no.
Q. Prior to your meeting with counsel,
had anyone at AIC seen this document?
MR. EHRLICH: Objection to form.
You can answer.
A. I don't believe so, no. And again,
the reason that I say that is the figures,
the numbers in this document are wholly
unfamiliar to me. You know, the --there
appears to be this concept of a backstop in
here again, a percentage of 61.82 percent.
Numbers like that have never been discussed

Q. Do you know if anyone acting on
behalf of AIC negotiated with the holders of
the mortgage debt secured by the properties

$550 million number?
MR. EHRLICH: Objection to form and
foundation.
You can answer.
A. I don't believe AIC negotiated that
figure, no.
Q. Do you know if there were any
negotiations between anyone and the holders
of the mortgage debt secured by the
properties in the fixed rate pool to arrive
at that $550 million?
A. I couldn't possibly answer that
question. You'll have to be more specific.
Q. As you sit here today are you aware
A. You said anyone negotiated anything
regarding that figure. It's too broad of a
question.
Q. I'm asking if you are aware of any
such negotiations?
Hewes
A. I'm aware that the company has had
or attempted to have conversations,
negotiations, discussions, what have you,
113
with Midland. I don't know the nature of
those conversations. I haven't been involved
in any conversation with Midland nor, to my
knowledge, has anyone from AIC at any point
in time during the past several months, but I
couldn't possibly testifY whether anyone had
any negotiation with Midland as to this
figure because I was never nor were other
members of AIC ever involved in those

negotiations occurred, if at all. I'm asking
if you know of any negotiations, and that you

Q. Sir, have you had an opportunity to
review Exhibit 13?
A. Briefly, yes.
Q. Did you see this document before
your preparation session with counsel?
A. I'm trying to jog my memory. It's
possible, although I don't recall
specifically whether I have seen this draft
prior to review with counsel.
Q. Do you know if anyone at ALI --
116
excuse me -- do you know if anyone at AIC saw
this version of the document prior to your
review with counsel?
MR. EHRLICH: Objection to form.
You can answer.
Hewes
A. I would give the same answer.
Certainly I suppose it's possible but I don't
know specifically whether others at AIC
reviewed this specific draft.
Q. Do you know if they received it?
A. Same answer.
117
Q. Did you do anything to inquire in
preparation for your deposition here today as
to whether anyone at AIC received this
particular draft?
A. Not specifically, no.
Q. Turn to page, the bottom of page 5,
carrying over to the top of page 6, there's a
reference to AIC purchase of new equity. Do
you see that?
A. Yes, I do.
Q. Do you see that the purchase price
there for 50 percent of initial Lehman shares
is now 110 million in this document?
A. I see that, yes.
Q. Does that refresh your recollection
as to whether or not you saw this document
prior to your review with counsel?
A. As to whether I saw it?

this specific draft or whether it was 4

document.
A This footnote was obviously
included in the draft prepared by Dechert. I
believe that the footnote simply refers to
120
the concept that as part of the transaction,
should one occur, that AIC was interested in
ensuring that the company completed the PIP
work that it was obligated to complete
previously and had not. Or may not have.
Q. Was AIC involved in negotiating the
terms contained in this term sheet?
MR. EHRLICH: Objection to form,
foundation.
A There are a number of terms in this
document. I think you will need to be
specific as to which terms you're referring
to.
Q. I was asking generally in any of
them.
MR. EHRLICH: And what does
involved in mean? This could be an
internal Dechert draft for all we know.
A The -- the -- many of the terms
appear as they did in the initial draft,
Hewes
121
which neither we nor our counsel, is my
understanding, created. At certain points we
responded or commented but you would have to
ask me a specific question about a specific
term for me to help you better.
Q. I appreciate that.
In an answer a few moments ago, you
started by saying as part of the transaction,
should one occur, that AIC was interested in
ensuring that the company completed the PIP
work that it was obligated to complete
previously and may not have. Do you recall
that?
A Yes.
Q. What transaction were you referring
to there?
A The-- the transaction broadly
contemplated by this term sheet and drafts of
this term sheet.
Q. And who, if anyone, on behalf of
AIC was responsible for negotiating the
transaction that you just referred to?
A Negotiating the transaction or

MR. SOLOMON: I was just to go ask
the negotiation of the term sheets that
we've seen back and forth and the
witness does not recall which ones he's
specifically seen. And if we can
establish that there were discussions at
certain periods of time, the witness
himself has said the valuation may
trigger his memory as to which of the
term sheets he has seen and which he may
not have.
MR. EHRLICH: I wasn't instructing
him not to answer.
MR. SOLOMON: My question stands.
A. Can you repeat the question?
MR. SOLOMON: Would you read it
back, please.
(A portion of the record was read.)
MR. EHRLICH: I don't think that
goes to refreshing his recollection.
But you can answer this question.
A. We had discussions about the
requested purchase price of the new equity.
Hewes
Q. Did these discussions occur--
withdrawn.
In terms of these, or with respect
to these discussions, do you recall any
discussions concerning a valuation of
approximately 50 percent of the new equity
being worth $110 million?
MR. EHRLICH: Objection, beyond the
scope.
You can answer.
A. Did we have any discussions about
whether the equity was worth $110 million.
Q. Approximately $110 million?
A. I believe so, yes.
Q. Did those discussions occur as a
result of receiving a proposal or a term
125
sheet or any indication from either Lehman or
the company as to a valuation of
approximately $110 million for approximately
50 percent of the new equity?
A. I'm sorry. Can you repeat the
question?

and I'm curious as to whether you have any
knowledge or information with respect to the
reason behind the use of two term sheets as
of July 7, 2010?
MR. EHRLICH: As opposed to one.
MR. SOLOMON: As opposed to one, or
seven.
A. You know, the --my understanding
is, is our counsel internally and externally
went back and forth on drafts of these
documents for some period of time. I was not
involved heavily in the drafting or
commenting or responses to drafts. Although
it was my understanding simply that to the
extent AIC entered into an agreement with
Lehman to purchase post reorganization equity
or new equity in Innkeepers, that that
concept should simply be reflected in an
agreement to purchase post reorganization
equity from Lehman should restructuring
occur.
Q. And to your knowledge, again, sir,
I'm only asking to your knowledge, is that
why there was a second term sheet used that

Hewes 1
Q. So earlier we had seen one term 2
sheet? 3
A. Right. 4
Q. Now, there are two. 5
A. So -- so I'll repeat my prior 6
answer and maybe try to make it more clear 7
for you, which was, as I stated, Joseph Glatt 8
and Paul Weiss together handled much of the 9
documentation phase, if you will, so that 0
that review of drafts of term sheets and 1
comment thereon, and it's my understanding, 2
as I stated earlier, simply that if AIC were 3
to enter into an agreement to acquire post 4
reorganization equity from Lehman, if-- if 5
the general transaction contemplated by the 6
plan support agreement were to come to 7
fruition, that from a business perspective 8
that, our agreement to acquire equity from 9
them post reorganization should simply be ? 0
reflected in an agreement to acquire equity ? 1
from them, post reorganization. And so the ? 2
documents came to reflect simply a ? 3
transaction wherein AIC would purchase from ? 4
Lehman for a price equity that it may receive ? 5
136
Hewes
in connection with restructuring.
Q. Did you have an under- -- did you
or anyone at AIC, to your knowledge, have an
understanding that Lehman was conditioning
its performance under its agreement with
Innkeepers on entering into an agreement with
AIC?
A. Was conditioning its performance --
I think I stated earlier that it was our
understanding that Lehman was contemplating a
transaction and may have been negotiating a
transaction with the company that didn't
include AIC, so I'm not clear whether or not
that means their performance under the PSA is
conditioned upon the agreement with AIC,
because I wasn't part of those discussions.
Q. Turn back for a moment to
Exhibit 11.
A. Sure.
Q. This was the term sheet you had
received, correct?
A. Correct.
Q. Turn to page 6. The left-hand
column conditions precedent to Lehman's
Hewes
obligations under PSA. Do you see that?
A. Uh-huh.
Q. Third bullet point, agreement
reached with AIC in form and substance
satisfactory to Lehman; and.
Do you see that?
A. Yes.
137
Q. Does that refresh your recollection
that at some point in time during the
discussions one of the conditions precedent
to Lehman's obligations under the PSA was
that it reached a satisfactory agreement with
AIC?
A. Yes, although the alternative
transaction-- I guess where I'm a little
fuzzy in my memory is that I'm not clear what
overlap the concept that Lehman may have been
having with the company about an alternative
transaction had with the negotiation of these
documents.
Q. Do you know --
A. So, yes, I understand that as part
of the plan support agreement that was
ultimately executed and the agreement between

the general nature of all discussions on this
topic.
Q. You indicated in your last answer
that AIC wanted to ensure that work not
completed would be completed.
A I said may not have been completed.
Q. In form or substance, I accept
that. What, if anything, did AIC do in
connection with the negotiation of this
transaction to ensure that outcome?
A To ensure which outcome?
152
Q. That work which may not have been
completed would be completed.
A We -- we discussed and negotiated
language in our agreement with Lehman that,
that says in essence that the company will
complete any work that may have not been
completed.
Q. When you reference the agreement
with Lehman, are you referring to the term
sheet that we've seen that's been marked as
Exhibit 16?
A Yes, as a component of the
agreement.
Hewes
Q. And is that a provision in this
document, to your recollection, sir?
A Yes, it is.
153
Q. Could you show me which provision
you're referring to in your answer?
A On the bottom of page 3, the carry
over paragraph, that starts with the
language, "So long as ... "
Q. Yes. Is there any other provision
in the agreement?
A I don't believe so. Are you asking
are there other provisions of the agreement
outside of this one or --
Q. No, that you were referring to it
in your last answer. I wanted to make sure
that you had a chance to complete your
answer.
A No, I believe that is the -- I
believe that's the only language that
discusses this topic in the agreement.
Q. Is it your testimony that this
provision was negotiated between AIC and
Lehman? The provision that you just
identified starting at the bottom of page 3.

prior to the morning of Saturday, the 17th,
and they served up a schedule that they
proposed attaching to this agreement, this
term sheet.
164
Q. Who is the "they" in that answer at
your end?
A. Lehman provided us with a schedule
that Lehman proposed attaching to this term
sheet.
Q. Why did you circulate or
recirculate the document marked as
Exhibit 17?
A. The schedule that Lehman proposed
did not embody the spirit of the language in
the provision that begins on page 3. It
contemplated a different set of capital
expenditures than the language describes and
so it was not the schedule that they
proposed, that Lehman proposed was not in the
spirit of our agreement.

Lehman proposed schedule was not in the

point.
A. Can you repeat the question?
MR. SOLOMON: Please read it back.
(A portion of the record was read.)
A. No.
Q. In negotiating the provision that
starts on the bottom, or the portion that
you've identified, starting on the bottom of
page 3 of the term sheet, Exhibit 16, did you
have an understanding as to whether that
provision affected Apollo's obligations under
a guarantee, if any existed?
MR. EHRLICH: You can answer that
question if you are capable of answering
it without revealing privileged
information.
THE WITNESS: Can you repeat the
question.
MR. SOLOMON: I'll rephrase it.
Q. I'm directing you now to the
provision that we have been discussing a
little earlier at the bottom of page 3 --
A. Yes, yes.

the provision on the bottom of page 3, term

understanding as to whether or not that
provision would have any effect on any
guarantee obligations Apollo had, if any
existed, with respect to Innkeepers or any
properties held by Innkeepers?

word "affect" is giving me some trouble. Can
you rephrase?
Q. Does it change, alter or modify any
obligations that I was referring to in my
last question?
MR. EHRLICH: Same instruction.
Q. Do you understand it, if we changed
the word "affect" to change alter or modify?
A. Yeah, that is more clear. I'm not
a lawyer but as a businessperson, I don't see
how a provision in one term sheet could
change, alter or modifY another set of
documents. So I guess the answer would be
no.
Q. Let's talk for a moment, if we can,
about Innkeepers' filing on or about July 19,

A. Filing?

included only the independent members of the 4

Q. Did that call, in fact, occur that ? 4

e-mail.
A. Yeah, I don't recall -- so I see
here that I was invited. I don't recall
participating and if I didn't participate, I
don't -- I wouldn't be able to confirm
whether it occurred.
Q. Well, that's not necessarily true.
Did anyone ever report to you that this call
occurred?
A. I don't recall anyone reporting to
me that this call occurred. I simply don't
remember.
Q. So as you sit here today, you don't
know if the call occurred and if it did
176
occur, you don't know anything about what was
discussed on that call, correct?
A. Correct.
Q. Other than conversations with
counsel, did you do anything in preparation
for your deposition here today to determine
whether this call occurred or what was
discussed on this call?
A. No, I did not.
Q. During your testimony earlier

Innkeepers had received from Marriott in or
about March of 2010?
A. Do I recall that the company
received--
Q. Yes.
A. -- the termination notice from --
yes.
Q. How did you come to learn that the
company received the termination notice?
A. I believe Marc Beilinson informed
AIC that he had received a notice from
Marriott, you know, saying that they would
terminate within a certain period of time the
company's franchise agreements on a list of
hotels unless the company completed a certain
amount, a significant amount of work on those
hotels prior to the time period in the
notice, which I believe was originally
90 days.
Q. To whom at AIC did Mr. Beilinson
provide this information?
A. I'm not certain who he provided it
to first, but my recollection, it's likely he

communication I have in my mind was not
necessarily in direct response to the
Marriott termination letter. To clarify, but
I'm aware of a communication at some point
later from an individual at Apollo to
Marriott and, again, not specifically related
to the termination letter but expressing a,
that Marriott support the company's efforts
to negotiate with its creditors. That was, I
believe, the essence ofthe communication.
Q. Who at Apollo sent that letter?
A. I believe Rick Press.
Q. And who is Mr. Press?
A. Mr. Press is a partner at Apollo,
he works in the private equity group.
Q. Which Apollo entity?
A. Internally it would be what we
refer to as the private equity group. I
couldn't tell you which specific entity he
works for. I don't know.
Q. And when did Mr. Press respond?
A. I don't recall the date of that
communication. I believe, as I indicated
earlier, it was considerably after, as in
Hewes
months after the original Marriott
termination letter.
Q. And the original Marriott
termination letter was March of 2010,
correct?
A Correct.

MR. SOLOMON: Could you read back
his response where I asked where the
substantive letter was, please.

Marriott support the company's efforts to
negotiate with its creditors, was the company
there Innkeepers that you're referring to?
A Yes.
Q. And what efforts to negotiate with
its creditors were you referring to in that
answer?
A Well, the -- the issue was the
Marriott termination letter as delivered in
March of 2010 required action by the company
within 90 days that with capital or without
capital it could not complete, it did not
have the capital and, therefore, without any

Q. When you say they, you're referring
to the independent managers?
A. And independent directors you're
referring to, yes, and again, I don't, it's
something we never had involvement with
directly, so I don't know the specifics.
Q. Do you know what that counsel that
was that the independent directors retained?
A. No idea.
Q. That wasn't discussed at the board
meeting?
A. I don't recall.
Q. Was counsel for the independent
directors present either in person or
telephonically at the board meeting?
A. No.
Q. And you don't know whether this
information was provided telephonically or in
writing to these independent directors?
A. Again, I didn't -- I didn't
participate so I don't recall.
Q. But was it discussed at the board
meeting?
A. No, it was not discussed how they
207

were communicated.
Q. And none of these independent
directors attended the board meeting I take
it?
A. No. They're different -- my
understanding is, no, they didn't.
Q. And attended, to be very clear,
either in person or telephonically?
A. No.
Q. I think -- my recollection is that
your testimony is that, in fact, minutes were
prepared for the board meeting; is that
correct?
A. I assume that they were. Because
minutes were generally prepared for board
meetings but I don't know that I reviewed
them.
Q. And when minutes were generally
prepared for board meetings were they at some
point in time distributed to the members of
the board?
A. Minutes from the prior board
meeting were typically distributed shortly
before the next board meeting and then --

beginning of a board meeting.
Q. Who prepared the minutes on a
normal basis?
A. I believe Mark Murphy, the general
counsel, prepares them.
208
Q. And would he have prepared minutes
from the board meeting in question, the one
right before the Chapter 11 filings?
A. Again, I assume so but I don't
recall whether I've seen them or reviewed
them or even asked him if he prepared them.
Q. Has there been a board meeting
subsequent to the Chapter 11 filing?
A. I'm trying to think. It's my
understanding that Marc Beilinson conducts
updates with the independent members of the
board. That was a process that he began
sometime before the bankruptcy filing. I
don't know when the last update he may have,
may or may not have had since the bankruptcy
filing was. I don't believe there's been a

full board meeting since the one you're
asking about.
Q. Since the one shortly before the

A. Correct.

Q. Has one been scheduled or noticed?
A. There was-- if you will allow me
to confirm, I believe there was an update
call scheduled for today with the -- with the
board, but I need to confirm that, which I
could do right now if you'd like me to.
Q. We can take a break and you can do
that.

11 questions in order to lay the foundation for 1

Q. I didn't ask you the reason, but--
A. Correct.
Q. Okay. Who asked you to leave the
meeting?
A. I don't recall specifically. I
think I said earlier it was either the
company -- I believe it was the company but I
don't recall specifically.
Q. Was company counsel at the meeting?
A. I believe -- I believe someone from
Kirkland was at that meeting.
Q. Was AIC's counsel at the meeting?
A. No.
Q. Do you know why you were asked to
leave the meeting?
Hewes
A. No.
Q. Did you ask why you were being
asked to leave the meeting?
A. Not -- I don't recall if I asked.
I believe -- I believe perhaps it was
indicated that the company and Lehman
Brothers wanted to continue discussions
privately and we were asked to leave.
Q. Is that your recollection or you're
guessing?
A. That's my recollection.
Q. Do you know why it is that Lehman
Brothers and the company wanted to have
private discussions?
A. No.
Q. Did you ask why?
A. I don't recall asking why.

Q. Roughly how many meetings have you
attended that involved Innkeepers?
MR. EHRLICH: Any kind on any topic

rather?
MR. FLIMAN: Yes.

question, that the company's debt
obligations, exclusive of Lehman's
obligations, would be structured to lower
amounts than their current principal amount
and, therefore, a loss would be realized by
those lenders should the restructuring occur
under those terms.
It's no secret that the real estate
industry has been severely impacted by the
recession, by a lack of pricing power,
particularly in the hotel sector because you
have no contractual rents of any kind, as
opposed to, for example, the office space
real estate sector where you do have
contractual rents and long term. So the
concept that there was a loss that was going
to be realized by not only us, AIC, which in
this case is a total loss, and the concept
that lenders may realize a loss as well was a
simple concept.
As a -- as a board member the
company and its advisors discussed the
potential ranges of valuation depending upon
a number of things that might be determined

as fair value for each of these other
obligations within the company's capital
structure and based on -- based on that
information and based on candidly outcomes
that may result in significantly lower
recoveries for the fixed rate lender and for
the other secured debt, it was our -- or it
was my opinion that this was a fair outcome
if it occurred. If not, better than perhaps
some of the alternatives. And part of the
reason I reached that conclusion, to cover
two topics specifically, are that applying a
number of valuation concepts to these assets
may result in values that are lower than 550,
number one, and number two, that if Marriott
were to terminate its franchise obligations
on any of the company's hotels, it would
result in substantially greater impairment
than these numbers here.
Q. You had referred in your answer to
the fact that based on -- the information
based on candidly outcomes that may result in
significantly lower recoveries for the fixed
rate lenders and for other secured debt.
227
Hewes
What were you referring to?
A. The other potential outcomes? I
mean if Marriott pulls the flags from the
hotels, they're worth a fraction of what
they're worth today.
Q. Originally AIC was contemplated to
be a party to the PSA; is that right?
A. I don't -- I don't believe -- I
don't believe we contemplated being a party
to the PSA.
Q. The parties that were exchanging
drafts at some point contemplated that AIC
would be a party to the PSA, correct?
A. Would you like to refer to a
specific draft?
Q. I can do so. Let me just tell you
my subsequent question.
A. Okay.
Q. It was going to be, I seem to
recall that you testified that you were told
that it no longer made sense for AIC to be a
signatory to the PSA and I was going to ask
you why, but we can look at specific
documents if it would be helpful.

MR. EHRLICH: I don't think that
quite states the testimony but why don't
you try to answer the question.
Q. Please correct me if--
A. Yeah. I think my testimony was the
only thing that we contemplated doing was
purchasing post reorganization equity, new
equity from Lehman Brothers if the Lehman
plan support agreement were to -- were to be
completed.
228
In connection with the filing AIC
recognized in all manner of speaking that its
existing equity interest in the business were
worthless and in no part of this process has
AIC sought any recovery or consideration on
any prepetition interest in the company.
So the concept that we would
contemplate signing the plan support
agreement simply doesn't make any sense. We
had nothing to support a restructuring with.
Q. If I could turn your attention to
Exhibit 17.
A. Sure.
Q. Before I ask you about the exhibit,
Hewes
let me just ask you this. Has AIC --

THE WITNESS: I'm going to get some
ice. You can wait, ifyou want.
Okay.
Q. Has AIC ever performed an analysis
of what its exposure on the capital
improvement guarantees could be?
MR. EHRLICH: Answer that question
yes or no.
A. No.
Q. Do you have a sense of what that
amount could be?
A. No.
Q. Do you have a -- strike that.
Do you have a general sense of
whether we're talking about 50 million, 100
million, 10 million?
MR. EHRLICH: Objection, calls for
speculation.
I don't want you to answer
speculative questions.
Q. Do you have a general sense?
My question simply is whether you

A. I -- I haven't performed an 4

I don't have the foundation to form an 7
opinion as to whether or not, as to what 8

he sees appropriate.
If that's your answer, you can

A. That's my answer.

MR. EHRLICH: Okay. You can
object.
MR. FLIMAN: So I ask the question
again and you can't object as asked and

MR. EIIRLICII: That's your opinion,
Counsel.
MR. FLIMAN: Okay. So it's not
productive but we can take a break and
go back and look at the record and find
his answer.
MR. EIIRLICII: Let's keep going.
This is of no relevance to the issues on
September 1st. It's the subject--
MR. FLIMAN: I disagree. I
disagree.
MR. EIIRLICII: Counsel, it is the
subject of litigation brought by Midland
who represents your client as one of the
largest holders of the share and I'm not
going to let this be a fishing
expedition into matters that are the
subject of a separate litigation.
MR. FLIMAN: It's really not. What
I'm getting at is the Lehman deal. I'm
trying to figure out the term that's in
there and what effect that it has on
AIC's guarantee. That's what I'm going

15 -- I don't believe the provision that you're 5
16 referring to in the AIC's Lehman term sheet 6
1 7 is capable of modifying a separate agreement 7

have an estimate as to whether or not there
are indeed obligations and I don't believe
that provision modifies the separate
agreement.
236
Q. What payments that are paid on
capital improvements is contemplated in the
Lehman AIC term sheet mitigate any of AIC's
exposure on its guaranties?
A. As-- you know, I don't know. It's
difficult to have any conclusion without
knowing if there are, in fact, any
liabilities.
Q. Why is that?
A. Because you're asking if, if it
changes anything out of a guarantee. I don't
know.
Q. Well, AIC wanted that provision in
the Lehman/AIC deal, right?
A. That's correct.
Q. Why did it want that provision in
there?
A. We wanted to, as I stated earlier,
ensure that the company completed all of the
capital expenditure work, or PIP work as it's
Hewes
referred to in the industry that it was
237
required to complete so that it would going
forward not have disagreements or complaints
or termination letters or any other issues
with any of its franchise partners. And so
we wanted to make sure that if there was work
to be done, that it got done.
Q. And those were the only reasons why
AIC wanted a provision in the AIC/Lehman
deal?
A. I think that's a fair statement.
Q. We had-- there was testimony about
the meeting right before the filing, and I
believe your testimony was that there was a
meeting that you dido 't attend of the
independent directors; is that correct?
A. Of the independent directors of
Innkeepers?
Q. Yes.
A. Yes.
Q. Are you aware of any of the
discussions that occurred in that meeting?
A. As I discussed earlier, there was a
brief summary of the topics covered during

answers you gave earlier. I understand that 3
you've been employed by Apollo Investment 4
Management since 2007 and that you recently 5
became a trustee of Innkeepers USA Trust, 6
correct? 7
A. Correct. 8
Q. You testified earlier that you 9
recently became a director because you had 0
been involved with the Innkeepers project 1
beforehand. Can you elaborate on what that 2
involvement was before your appointment as a 3
director? 4
A. Sure. The investment in Innkeepers 5
is the only sole shareholder private equity 6
investment in AIC's portfolio and, therefore, 7
it's different from in certain respects, it's 8
different from typical investments that we 9
make. 70
Typically our portfolio consists of 7 1
debt investments, fixed income securities, 7 2
investments where we have less influence or 7 3
control or candidly information directly from 7 4
the company. We don't sit on boards, we 7 5
Hewes
don't control the equity. Things of that
nature.
244
In the fourth quarter of 2008,
subsequent to the bankruptcy filing of Lehman
Brothers and the stock market declining
500 points every day and the general
cessation of economic activity around the
world at some level, the individuals who were
involved or had primary responsibility for
the Innkeepers investment began to see a
precipitous decline in the company's
financial performance, not inconsistent with
issues being seen elsewhere in the world.
And as a result of the attention that the
situation may require, I was asked as a
senior member of our team to get involved.
Q. And by getting involved, you mean
become a director?
MR. EHRLICH: Objection.
A. Not--
MR. EHRLICH: You can answer.
A. Not at the time, no. I was asked
to familiarize myself with the company, its
operations and lend whatever assistance I
Hewes
could to the situation so --
245
Q. And that assistance would take
advantage of the fact that this being, as I
think you testified, a unique situation where
you could have more influence or control over
the situation, you would, you would exercise
that ability; is that correct?
MR. EHRLICH: Objection,
mischaracterizes his testimony.
A. Yeah, I don't think that's the
point. I think control is perhaps a loaded
word.
Q. It's your word.
A. What I mean is -- well, I know and
so I'm going to explain.
MR. EHRLICH: Let the witness
finish.
A. What I mean is we owned 100 percent
of the stock. We had, therefore, a
significantly greater responsibility to
manage the situation than we, than we do in
other situations.

A Schedule 2 tranche B borrower.
Q. Yes. No, it's tranche B borrower.
A Does it also say Schedule 2 in the
upper right-hand comer?
Q. Yes.
A Okay. Sorry, what was your
question?
Q. Thank you. I don't mean to
complicate it, it's just to point out that
under the Five Mile DIP the Mission Valley
property and the Tysons Corner 11roperty are
pledged as collateral for that DIP as
evidenced by the fact that they are listed as
261
Hewes
borrowers under tranche B and tranche B
borrowers; is that correct?
MR. EHRLICH: You're asking him
whether the DIP states that?
A. That appears to be correct.
Q. And do you know what the proceeds
from that DIP will be used for?
A. As I stated earlier, I'm aware just
generally that the San Diego property is in
need of a significant renovation. I'm not
familiar with the specifics of what the
proceeds of that loan will be used for, to be
honest.
Q. So some of the loan will be used
for PIP obligations?
MR. EHRLICH: If you know. I don't
want you to speculate.
A. I don't know and I don't want to
speculate. There are different capital
obligations that occur in these properties.
Some you might call PIP, some you might call
other things. The term "cycle renovation" is
used quite often. I don't know the
distinction, to be honest, at this specific

if you go to page 5 of that agreement, 1
there's something that says use of proceeds. 2

264
Hewes
MR. EHRLICH: Hold on. I want the
record -- PIP work is a defined term
which is defined elsewhere in the
document and reference should be made to
that defined term.
Page 17 of the -- there is a
definition of some of these tem1s that
may be relevant.
THE WITNESS: I don't have a page
17.
Here we go.
Q. Now, page-- there was an interim
order authorizing the debtors to use the
adequate protection parties cash collateral
to provide adequate protection. If you
continue further in the document under
Exhibit B --Exhibit E, rather, the cash
collateral order, and if you follow along in
that page 17, there's a series of
definitions. One of the definitions is PIP
work. It says it means the construction
labor and materials necessary to satisfy
Marriott or any other applicable franchisor
that each of the requirements of each of the
265
Hewes
PWs has been satisfied.
So I ask you again: Is the Five
Mile, are the proceeds from the Five Mile DIP
going to be used to satisfy PW obligations?
MR. EHRLICH: Counsel, this record
is a complete confusion. Are you
representing defined terms in the
interim cash collateral order are the
same defined terms as in the term sheet?
Because my best reading of these
documents is that the defined terms in
the term sheet, excuse me, in the DIP
agreement are the same as in the term
sheet. And they're not the same in all
respects. Do you know?
MR. KARCHER: I don't know. But
maybe I can simplify it by asking
whether or not it's your understanding
that the 5-mile DIP proceeds will be
used to satisfy the Marriott.
MR. EHRLICH: Objection to form.
A It's my understanding that the Five
Mile DIP facility proceeds will be used to
fund capital improvements regardless of what

any such instructions were given?

else?
