The purchase price for the hotels, net of debt assumed, was funded primarily by the Company’s ongoing best-efforts offering of
Units. The Company assumed approximately $34.5 million of debt secured by three of its hotel properties. In addition, the Company
assumed a non-mortgage note payable of $3.8 million in connection with the Lewisville, Texas Hilton Garden Inn Hotel (see Note 3).
The Company leases all of its hotels to its wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary (or a subsidiary thereof) under master hotel lease
agreements. The Company also used the proceeds of its ongoing best-efforts offering to pay approximately $6.8 million, representing
2% of the gross purchase price for these hotels, as a brokerage commission to ASRG (see Note 7) and to pay approximately $3.0
million of transaction costs, including title, legal and other related costs. These costs have been capitalized to Investment in real estate,
net in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008.
