ASHFORD HOSPITALITY PRIME, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)



1. Organization and Description of Business
Ashford Hospitality Prime, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (“Ashford Prime”), is a Maryland corporation that invests primarily in high revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) luxury hotels and resorts. High RevPAR, for purposes of our investment strategy, means RevPAR of at least twice the then-current U.S. national average RevPAR for all hotels as determined by Smith Travel Research. Ashford Prime has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code. Ashford Prime conducts its business and owns substantially all of its assets through its operating partnership, Ashford Hospitality Prime Limited Partnership (“Ashford Prime OP”). In this report, the terms “the Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refers to Ashford Hospitality Prime, Inc. and, as the context may require, all entities included in its condensed consolidated financial statements.
We are advised by Ashford Hospitality Advisors LLC (“Ashford LLC”) through an advisory agreement. Ashford LLC is a subsidiary of Ashford Inc., which was spun-off from Ashford Hospitality Trust, Inc. (“Ashford Trust”). All of the hotel properties in our portfolio are currently asset-managed by Ashford LLC. We do not have any employees. All of the services that might be provided by employees are provided to us by Ashford LLC.
As of March 31, 2017 , Remington Lodging & Hospitality, LLC, together with its affiliates (“Remington Lodging”), which is beneficially wholly-owned by Mr. Monty J. Bennett, Chairman of our board of directors, and Mr. Archie Bennett, Jr., chairman emeritus of Ashford Trust, managed two of our twelve hotel properties. Third-party management companies managed the remaining hotel properties. On September 17, 2015, Remington Lodging and Ashford Inc. entered into an agreement pursuant to which Ashford Inc. will acquire all of the general partner interest and 80% of the limited partner interests in Remington Lodging. On April 12, 2016, Ashford Inc.’s stockholders approved the acquisition. On March 24, 2017, the agreement was terminated as Ashford Inc. was unsuccessful in receiving an acceptable private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service. The receipt of the private letter ruling was a condition to the closing of the transaction.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of such wholly-owned and majority owned subsidiaries of Ashford Prime OP that as of March 31, 2017 , own and operate twelve hotel properties in seven states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The portfolio includes ten wholly-owned hotel properties and two hotel properties that are owned through a partnership in which Ashford Prime OP has a controlling interest. These hotel properties represent 3,892 total rooms, or 3,657 net rooms, excluding those attributable to our partner. As a REIT, Ashford Prime needs to comply with limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code related to operating hotels. As of March 31, 2017 , eleven of our twelve hotel properties were leased by wholly-owned or majority-owned subsidiaries that are treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”) for federal income tax purposes (collectively the TRS entities are referred to as “Prime TRS”). One hotel property located in the U.S. Virgin Islands is owned by our U.S. Virgin Islands TRS. Prime TRS then engages third-party or affiliated hotel management companies to operate the hotel properties under management contracts. Hotel operating results related to the hotel properties are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2017 , nine of the twelve hotel properties were leased by Ashford Prime’s wholly-owned TRS and two hotel properties majority-owned through a consolidated partnership were leased to a TRS wholly-owned by such consolidated partnership. Each leased hotel is leased under a percentage lease that provides for each lessee to pay in each calendar month the base rent plus, in each calendar quarter, percentage rent, if any, based on hotel revenues. Lease revenue from Prime TRS is eliminated in consolidation. The hotel properties are operated under management contracts with Marriott International, Inc. (“Marriott”), Hilton Worldwide (“Hilton”), Accor Business and Leisure Management, LLC (“Accor”), Hyatt Corporation (“Hyatt”) and Remington Lodging, which are eligible independent contractors under the Internal Revenue Code.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation —The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ashford Hospitality Prime, Inc., its majority-owned subsidiaries, and its majority-owned entities in which it has a controlling interest. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between consolidated entities have been eliminated in these condensed consolidated financial statements. We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We believe the disclosures made herein are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. However, the financial statements should be read in conjunction with

Table of Contents
ASHFORD HOSPITALITY PRIME, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(unaudited)


the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 28, 2017.
Ashford Prime OP is considered to be a variable interest entity (“VIE”), as defined by authoritative accounting guidance. A VIE must be consolidated by a reporting entity if the reporting entity is the primary beneficiary because it has (i) the power to direct the VIE’s activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE. All major decisions related to Ashford Prime OP that most significantly impact its economic performance, including but not limited to operating procedures with respect to business affairs and any acquisitions, dispositions, financings, restructurings or other transactions with sellers, purchasers, lenders, brokers, agents and other applicable representatives, are subject to the approval of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Ashford Prime OP General Partner LLC, its general partner. As such, we consolidate Ashford Prime OP.
The following items affect reporting comparability of our historical condensed consolidated financial statements:
Historical seasonality patterns at some of our properties cause fluctuations in our overall operating results. Consequently, operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 , are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017.
On July 1, 2016, we sold the Courtyard Seattle Downtown.
On March 31, 2017 , we acquired the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort & Spa. The results of operations of the hotel property have not been included in our results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2017 as a result of the acquisition occurring on March 31, 2017 .
Use of Estimates —The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Restricted Cash —Restricted cash includes reserves for debt service, real estate taxes, and insurance, as well as excess cash flow deposits and reserves for furniture, fixtures, and equipment replacements of approximately 4% to 6% of property revenue for certain hotels, as required by certain management or mortgage debt agreement restrictions and provisions. We early adopted Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash effective January 1, 2017. See discussion in recently adopted accounting standards below.
Impairment of Investments in Hotel Properties —Hotel properties are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the hotel is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of the hotel to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, which take into account current market conditions and our intent with respect to holding or disposing of the hotel. If our analysis indicates that the carrying value of the hotel is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, we recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the property’s net book value exceeds its estimated fair value, or fair value, less cost to sell. In evaluating the impairment of hotel properties, we make many assumptions and estimates, including projected cash flows, expected holding period and expected useful life. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including internally developed discounted cash flow models, comparable market transactions and third-party appraisals, where considered necessary. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , we have not recorded any impairment charges.
Investment in Ashford Inc. —We hold approximately 195,000 shares of Ashford Inc. common stock, which represented an approximate 9.7% ownership interest in Ashford Inc. and had a fair value of $11.5 million at March 31, 2017 . This investment would typically be accounted for under the equity method of accounting, under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 323-10 - Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures since we exercise significant influence. However, we have elected to record our investment in Ashford Inc. using the fair value option under ASC 825-10 - Fair Value Option - Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities .
Revenue Recognition —Hotel revenues, including room, food, beverage, and ancillary revenues such as long-distance telephone service, laundry, parking and space rentals, are recognized when services have been rendered. Taxes collected from customers and submitted to taxing authorities are not recorded in revenue.
Equity-Based Compensation —Stock/unit-based compensation for non-employees is accounted for at fair value based on the market price of the shares at period end in accordance with applicable authoritative accounting guidance that results in recording expense, included in “advisory services fee” and “management fees,” equal to the fair value of the award in proportion to the

requisite service period satisfied during the period. Performance stock units (“PSUs”) and performance-based Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) units granted to certain executive officers are accounted for at fair value at period end based on a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model that results in recording expense, included in “advisory services fee,” equal to the fair value of the award in proportion to the requisite service period satisfied during the period. Stock/unit grants to independent directors are recorded at fair value based on the market price of the shares at grant date, which amount is fully expensed as the grants of stock/units are fully vested on the date of grant and included in “corporate general and administrative” expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards —In November 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“ FASB”) issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (“ASU 2016-18”), which clarifies the presentation of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statements of cash flows. Under ASU 2016-18 restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents are included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statements of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2017 on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this standard resulted in the inclusion of restricted cash with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statements of cash flows for all periods presented. As a result net cash provided by operating activities increased $1.5 million and net cash used in investing activities decreased $1.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016. Our beginning-of-period cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash increased 37.9 million and $33.1 million in 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model, which requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The update will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14,  Revenue From Contracts With Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date , which defers the effective date to fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The FASB has also issued additional updates that further clarify the requirements of Topic 606 and provide implementation guidance. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We are in the initial stages of evaluating the effect of the standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements, including as it pertains to accounting for real estate sales, and continue to evaluate the available transition methods. However, we have not yet selected a transition method. Based on our initial and ongoing assessment of ASU 2014-09, we do not currently believe there will be a material impact to the amount or timing of revenue recognition for rooms revenue, food and beverage revenue and other hotel revenue.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01,  Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities  (“ASU 2016-01”), which requires an entity to: (i) measure equity investments at fair value through net income, with certain exceptions; (ii) present in OCI the changes in instrument-specific credit risk for financial liabilities measured using the fair value option; (iii) present financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset; (iv) calculate the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes based on an exit price and; (v) assess a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets related to unrealized losses of available-for-sale (“AFS”) debt securities in combination with other deferred tax assets. ASU 2016-01 provides an election to subsequently measure certain nonmarketable equity investments at cost less any impairment and adjusted for certain observable price changes. It also requires a qualitative impairment assessment of such equity investments and amends certain fair value disclosure requirements. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Certain provisions of ASU 2016-01 are eligible for early adoption. We do not expect that ASU 2016-01 will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”). The new standard establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The accounting for leases under which we are the lessor remains largely unchanged. While we are currently in the initial stages of assessing the impact that ASU 2016-02 will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements, we expect the primary impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements

10

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(unaudited)


upon adoption will be the recognition, on a discounted basis, of our future minimum rentals due under noncancelable leases on our condensed consolidated balance sheets resulting in the recording of ROU assets and lease obligations.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"). The ASU sets forth an “expected credit loss” impairment model to replace the current “incurred loss” method of recognizing credit losses. The standard requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for most financial assets held. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-13 will have on the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments - a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force (“ASU 2016-15”). The new guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. Certain issues addressed in this guidance include - Debt payments or debt extinguishment costs, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, distributions received from equity method investments and beneficial interests in securitization transactions. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-15 will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01” ) , which clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether a transaction should be accounted for as an acquisition (or disposal) of an asset or a business. ASU 2017-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. While we are currently evaluating the potential impact of the standard, we currently expect that certain future hotel acquisitions may be considered asset acquisitions rather than business combinations, which would affect capitalization of acquisitions costs (such costs are expensed for business combinations and capitalized for asset acquisitions).
In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, Other Income-Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets   (ASU “2017-05”), which clarifies the scope of ASC Subtopic 610-20,   Other Income-Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets   and adds guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. ASU 2017-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. An entity may elect to apply ASU 2017-05 under a retrospective or modified retrospective approach. We are evaluating the impact that ASU 2017-05 will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Park Hyatt Beaver Creek
On March 31, 2017, we acquired a 100% interest in the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort & Spa in Beaver Creek, Colorado for total consideration of $145.5 million . Concurrent with the closing of the acquisition, we completed the financing of a $67.5 million mortgage loan. See note 7.
We have allocated the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on a preliminary basis using estimated fair value information currently available. We are in the process of evaluating the values assigned to investment in hotel property,

4. Hotel Disposition
On July 1, 2016, the Company sold the Courtyard Seattle Downtown for $84.5 million in cash. The sale resulted in a gain of $26.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 . Since the sale of the hotel property did not represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on our operations or financial results, its results of operations were not reported as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
We included the results of operations for these assets through the date of disposition in net income (loss) as shown in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 .

6. Investment in Unconsolidated Entity
Ashford Inc.
As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , we held approximately 195,000 shares of Ashford Inc. common stock. The closing price per share was $59.00 and $43.14 as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. This represented an approximate  9.7%  ownership interest in Ashford Inc. for both March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 . See notes 10 and 11.
As we exercise significant influence over Ashford Inc., this investment would typically be accounted for under the equity method of accounting, under ASC 323-10 - Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures . However, we have elected to record our investment in Ashford Inc. using the fair value option under ASC 825-10 - Fair Value Option - Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities as the fair value is readily available since Ashford Inc. common stock is traded on a national exchange. The fair value of our investment in Ashford Inc. is included in “investment in Ashford Inc., at fair value” on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, and changes in market value are included in “unrealized gain (loss) on investment in Ashford Inc.” on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The following tables summarize the condensed balance sheets as of  March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , and the condensed statements of operations for the  three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, of Ashford Inc. (in thousands):

On January 18, 2017, the Company refinanced  three  mortgage loans with existing outstanding balances totaling approximately  $333.7 million . The previous mortgage loans that were refinanced had final maturity dates in April 2017. The new mortgage loan totals  $365.0 million  and has a stated maturity of February 2019 with  five   one -year extension options, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The mortgage loan is interest only and provides for a floating interest rate of LIBOR +  2.58% . The mortgage loan is secured by  five  hotel properties: Plano Marriott Legacy Town Center, Seattle Marriott Waterfront, Tampa Renaissance, San Francisco Courtyard Downtown and Philadelphia Courtyard Downtown.
On March 31, 2017, in connection with the acquisition of Park Hyatt Beaver Creek, we completed the financing of a $67.5 million loan. This loan is interest only and provides for a floating interest rate of LIBOR + 2.75% . The stated maturity date of the mortgage loan is April 2019, with three one -year extension options, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The mortgage loan is secured by the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek.
We are required to maintain certain financial ratios under our secured revolving credit facility. If we violate covenants in any debt agreement, we could be required to repay all or a portion of our indebtedness before maturity at a time when we might be unable to arrange financing for such repayment on attractive terms, if at all. Violations of certain debt covenants may result in our inability to borrow unused amounts under our line of credit, even if repayment of some or all of our borrowings is not required. The assets of certain of our subsidiaries are pledged under non-recourse indebtedness and are not available to satisfy the debts and

9. Derivative Instruments
Interest Rate Derivatives —We are exposed to risks arising from our business operations, economic conditions and financial markets. To manage these risks, we primarily use interest rate derivatives to hedge our debt and our cash flows. The interest rate derivatives include interest rate caps and interest rate floors, which are subject to master netting settlement arrangements. All derivatives are recorded at fair value.
During the three months ended March 31, 2017 , we entered into interest rate caps with notional amounts totaling $568.5 million and strike rate ranging from 3.00% to 5.35% . These interest rate caps have effective dates from January 2017 to March 2017 , maturity dates from March 2018 to April 2019 , and a total cost of $319,000 . These instruments were not designated as cash flow hedges.
In March 2016, concurrent with the extension of our $80.0 million mortgage loan, we extended our existing interest rate cap with a notional amount of $80.0 million , maturity date of March 2017 and a strike rate of 5.78% for a total cost of $4,500 . This instrument was not designated as a cash flow hedge.
As of March 31, 2017 , we had interest rate caps with notional amounts totaling $796.5 million and strike rates ranging from 2.00% to 5.43% . These instruments cap the interest rates on our mortgage loans with principal balances of  $856.6 million  and maturity dates from December 2017 to November 2019. These instruments had maturity dates ranging from December 2017 to April 2019 . As of March 31, 2017 , we had interest rate floors with notional amounts totaling $3.0 billion and strike rates of -0.25% and a maturity date of July 2020 .
Options on Futures Contracts —During the three months ended March 31, 2016 , we purchased options on Eurodollar futures for a total cost of $124,000 and a maturity date of June 2017 . During the three months ended March 31, 2017 , we made no purchases.
10. Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Hierarchy —Our financial instruments measured at fair value either on a recurring or a non-recurring basis are classified in a hierarchy for disclosure purposes consisting of three levels based on the observability of inputs in the market place as discussed below:
Level 1: Fair value measurements that are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that we have the ability to access for identical assets or liabilities. Market price data generally is obtained from exchange or dealer markets.
Level 2: Fair value measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
Level 3: Fair value measurements based on valuation techniques that use significant inputs that are unobservable. The circumstances for using these measurements include those in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.
The fair value of interest rate caps is determined using the market standard methodology of discounting the future expected cash receipts that would occur if variable interest rates rise above the strike rates of the caps. The variable interest rates used in the calculation of projected receipts on the caps are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves (LIBOR forward curves) and volatilities (the Level 2 inputs). We also incorporate credit valuation adjustments (the Level 3 inputs) to appropriately reflect both our own non-performance risk and the respective counterparty’s non-performance risk.
The fair value of interest rate floors is calculated using a third-party discounted cash flow model based on future cash flows that are expected to be received over the remaining life of the floor. These expected future cash flows are probability-weighted projections based on the contract terms, accounting for both the magnitude and likelihood of potential payments, which are both computed using the appropriate LIBOR forward curve and market implied volatilities as of the valuation date (Level 2 inputs).
The fair value of options on futures contracts is determined based on the last reported settlement price as of the measurement date (Level 1 inputs). These exchange-traded options are centrally cleared, and a clearinghouse stands in between all trades to ensure that the obligations involved in the trades are satisfied.
When a majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. However, when the valuation adjustments associated

(unaudited)


with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counter-parties, which we consider significant ( 10% or more) to the overall valuation of our derivatives, the derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Transfers of inputs between levels are determined at the end of each reporting period.

11. Summary of Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Determining the estimated fair values of certain financial instruments such as notes receivable and indebtedness requires considerable judgment to interpret market data. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. Accordingly, the estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts at which these instruments could be purchased, sold or settled.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash . These financial assets have maturities of less than 90 days and most bear interest at market rates. The carrying value approximates fair value due to their short-term nature. This is considered a Level 1 valuation technique.
Accounts receivable, net, due from AQUA U.S. Fund, due from related party, net, accounts payable and accrued expenses, dividends and distributions payable, due to/from Ashford Trust OP, net, due to Ashford Inc., due to affiliate and due to/from third-party hotel managers . The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. This is considered a Level 1 valuation technique.
Note receivable . Fair value of the note receivable was determined by using similar loans with similar collateral. Since there is very little to no trading activity, we relied on our internal analysis of what we believe a willing buyer would pay for this note at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 . We estimated the fair value of the note receivable to be approximately 4.8% to 15.9% higher than the carrying value of $8.1 million at March 31, 2017 and approximately 5.1% to 16.2% higher than the carrying value of $8.1 million at December 31, 2016 . This is considered a Level 2 valuation technique.
Investment in Ashford Inc. Fair value of the investment in Ashford Inc. is based on the quoted closing price on the balance sheet date. This is considered a Level 1 valuation technique.
Derivative assets . Fair value of the interest rate derivatives is determined using the net present value of the expected cash flows of each derivative based on the market-based interest rate curve and adjusted for credit spreads of us and the counterparties. Fair value of interest rate floors is calculated using a third-party discounted cash flow model based on future cash flows that are expected to be received over the remaining life of the floor. The fair values of options on futures contracts are valued at their last

reported settlement price as of the measurement date. See notes 2, 9 and 10 for a complete description of the methodology and assumptions utilized in determining fair values.
Indebtedness . Fair value of indebtedness is determined using future cash flows discounted at current replacement rates for these instruments. Cash flows are determined using a forward interest rate yield curve. The current replacement rates are determined by using the U.S. Treasury yield curve or the index to which these financial instruments are tied, and adjusted for the credit spreads. Credit spreads take into consideration general market conditions, maturity and collateral. We estimated the fair value of the total indebtedness to be approximately 94.0% to 103.9% of the carrying value of $864.7 million at March 31, 2017 and approximately 94.8% to 104.7% of the carrying value of $767.0 million at December 31, 2016 . This is considered a Level 2 valuation technique.
12. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in Operating Partnership
Redeemable noncontrolling interests in the operating partnership represents the limited partners’ proportionate share of equity and their allocable share of equity in earnings/losses of Ashford Prime OP, which is an allocation of net income/loss attributable to the common unitholders based on the weighted average ownership percentage of these limited partners’ common units of limited partnership interest in the operating partnership (“common units”) and units issued under our Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP units”) that are vested. Beginning one year after issuance, each common unit may be redeemed, by the holder, for either cash or, at our sole discretion, up to one share of our REIT common stock, which is either (i) issued pursuant to an effective registration statement; (ii) included in an effective registration statement providing for the resale of such common stock; or (iii) issued subject to a registration rights agreement.
LTIP units, which are issued to certain executives and employees of Ashford LLC as compensation, have vesting periods of three years . Additionally, certain independent members of the board of directors have elected to receive LTIP units as part of their compensation, which are fully vested upon grant. Upon reaching economic parity with common units, each vested LTIP unit can be converted by the holder into one common unit which can then be redeemed for cash or, at our election, settled in our common stock. An LTIP unit will achieve parity with the common units upon the sale or deemed sale of all or substantially all of the assets of our operating partnership at a time when our stock is trading at a level in excess of the price it was trading on the date of the LTIP issuance. More specifically, LTIP units will achieve full economic parity with common units in connection with (i) the actual sale of all or substantially all of the assets of our operating partnership or (ii) the hypothetical sale of such assets, which results from a capital account revaluation, as defined in the partnership agreement, for our operating partnership.
The compensation committee of the board of directors of the Company approves performance-based LTIP units to certain executive officers from time to time. The award agreements provide for the grant of a target number of performance-based LTIP units that will be settled in common units of the Ashford Prime OP, if and when the applicable vesting criteria have been achieved following the end of the performance and service period. The target number of performance-based LTIP units may be adjusted from 0% to 200% of the target number based on achievement of a specified relative total stockholder return based on the formula determined by the Company’s Compensation Committee on the grant date. As of March 31, 2017 , a total of 701,000 performance-based LTIP units representing 200% of the target were issued. The performance criteria for the performance-based LTIP units are based on market conditions under the relevant literature, and the performance-based LTIP units were granted to non-employees.
The unamortized fair value of performance-based LTIP units of $1.1 million at March 31, 2017 will be expensed over a period of 1.8 years, subject to future mark to market adjustments. We recorded credits to compensation expense in the amount of $1.0 million and $324,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively, due to lower fair values as compared to prior periods. The related amounts are included in “advisory services fee” on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
As of March 31, 2017 , we have issued a total of 1.1 million LTIP units (including performance-based LTIP units), all of which, other than approximately 3,000  LTIP units issued in March 2015, 6,000 LTIP units issued in May 2015, 389,000 performance-based LTIP units issued in June 2015, and 312,000 performance-based LTIP units issued in October 2016, had reached full economic parity with, and are convertible into, common units. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , compensation expense of $43,000 and $86,000 was recorded related to LTIP units issued to Ashford LLC’s employees, respectively, and is included in “advisory services fee.” The fair value of the unrecognized cost of LTIP units, which was $24,000 at March 31, 2017 , will be amortized over a period of 1.3 years, subject to future mark to market adjustments.
During the three months ended March 31, 2017 , approximately 5,000 common units with an aggregate fair value of $67,000 at redemption were redeemed by the holders and, at our election, we issued shares of our common stock to satisfy the redemption. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 , no common units were redeemed by the holders.

Redeemable noncontrolling interests in Ashford Prime OP as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , were $48.6 million and $59.5 million , respectively, which represented ownership of our operating partnerships of 13.12% and 13.90% , respectively. The carrying value of redeemable noncontrolling interests as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , included adjustments of $0 and $8.9 million , respectively, to reflect the excess of redemption value over the accumulated historical costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , we allocated net loss of $255,000 and $150,000 to the redeemable noncontrolling interests, respectively. We declared aggregate cash distributions to holders of common units and holders of LTIP units of $790,000 and $516,000 , respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 . These distributions are recorded as a reduction of redeemable noncontrolling interests in operating partnership.
13. Equity and Stock-Based Compensation
Equity Offering — On March 1, 2017, we commenced an underwritten public offering of approximately 5.8 million shares of common stock at $12.15 per share for gross proceeds of $69.9 million . The offering closed on March 7, 2017. The net proceeds from the sale of the shares after underwriting discounts and offering expense were approximately $66.5 million .
Dividends —Common stock dividends declared for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, were $5.1 million and $2.8 million , respectively.
Performance Stock Units —The compensation committee of the board of directors of the Company approves grants of PSUs to certain executive officers from time to time. The award agreements provide for the grant of a target number of PSUs that will be settled in shares of common stock of the Company, if and when the applicable vesting criteria have been achieved following the end of the performance and service period of three years from the issuance date. The target number of PSUs may be adjusted from 0% to 200% based on achievement of a specified relative total stockholder return based on the formula determined by the Company’s Compensation Committee on the grant date. The performance criteria for the PSUs are based on market conditions under the relevant literature, and the PSUs were granted to non-employees. At March 31, 2017 , the outstanding PSUs had a fair value of $2.6 million . We recorded credits to compensation expense in the amount of $800,000 and $398,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively, due to lower fair values of the PSUs. These amounts are included in “advisory services fee” on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2017 , we had unamortized compensation expense of $1.7 million related to PSUs which is expected to be recognized over a period of 1.8 years, subject to future mark to market adjustments.
Restricted Stock Units —Stock-based compensation expense of $118,000 and $23,000 was recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively, in connection with restricted units awarded to employees of Ashford LLC and is included in “advisory services fee” on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. There were also restricted shares granted to certain employees of Remington Lodging, and the associated expenses are recorded as a component of “management fees” on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, expense related to such grants was immaterial. In addition, $18,000 and $0 of stock-based compensation expense was recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, in connection with common stock issued to our independent directors, which vested immediately, and is included in “corporate general and administrative” expense on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. At March 31, 2017 , the outstanding restricted shares had a fair value of $3.3 million . At March 31, 2017 , the unamortized cost of the unvested shares of restricted stock was $2.8 million , which will be expensed over a period of 4.6 years , subject to future mark to market adjustments, and have vesting dates between April 2017 and November 2021 .
Stock Repurchases —On October 27, 2014, our board of directors approved a share repurchase program under which the Company may purchase up to $100 million of the Company’s common stock from time to time. The repurchase program does not have an expiration date. The specific timing, manner, price, amount and other terms of the repurchases is at management’s discretion and depends on market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements and other factors. The Company is not required to repurchase shares under the repurchase program, and may modify, suspend or terminate the repurchase program at any time for any reason. On April 8, 2016, our board of directors authorized utilizing up to $50 million to repurchase common stock. No  shares were repurchased during the three months ended  March 31, 2017 and 2016, pursuant to this authorization. As of March 31, 2017 , we have purchased a cumulative 4.3 million shares of our common stock, for approximately $63.2 million , since the program’s inception on November 4, 2014.
Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Entities —A partner had noncontrolling ownership interests of 25% in two hotel properties with a total carrying value of $(5.4) million and $(5.4) million at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. Noncontrolling interests in consolidated entities were allocated net loss of $21,000 and net income of $145,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively.

14. 5.5% Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock
Each share of our 5.5% Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) is convertible at any time, at the option of the holder, into a number of whole shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $18.90 (which represents an initial conversion rate of 1.3228 shares of our common stock, subject to certain adjustments). The Series B Preferred Stock is also subject to conversion upon certain events constituting a change of control. Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock have no voting rights, subject to certain exceptions.
The Company may, at its option, cause the Series B Preferred Stock to be converted in whole or in part, on a pro-rata basis, into fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s common stock at the conversion price, provided that the “Closing Bid Price” (as defined in the Articles Supplementary) of the Company’s common stock shall have equaled or exceeded 110% of the conversion price for the immediately preceding 45 consecutive trading days ending three days prior to the date of notice of conversion. In the event of such mandatory conversion, the Company shall pay holders of the Series B Preferred Stock any additional dividend payment to make the holder whole on dividends expected to be received through June 11, 2019, in an amount equal to the net present value, where the discount rate is the dividend rate on the Series B Preferred Stock, of the difference between (i) the annual dividend payments the holders of Series B Preferred Stock would have received in cash from the date of the mandatory conversion to June 11, 2019, and (ii) the common stock quarterly dividend payments the holders of Series B Preferred Stock would have received over the same time period had such holders held common stock.
On April 26, 2016, in connection with a previously announced required public offering, we issued 290,850  shares of our Series B Preferred Stock at  $17.24  per share for gross proceeds of  $5.0 million . The Series B Preferred Stock offering includes accrued and unpaid dividends since April 15, 2016. The offering closed on April 29, 2016. The net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts, advisory fees, commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by the company, were approximately  $4.2 million . Dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock accrue at a rate of 5.50% on the liquidation preference of $25.00 per share.
On March 7, 2017, we closed an offering of approximately 2.0 million shares of our Series B Preferred Stock at $20.19 per share for gross proceeds of $39.9 million . The net proceeds to us, after underwriting discounts and offering expenses were approximately $38.4 million . Dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock accrue at a rate of 5.50% on the liquidation preference of $25.00 per share. On March 31, 2017, the underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment option and purchased an additional 100,000  shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, which closed on April 5, 2017. The net proceeds from the sale of the shares after underwriting discounts and offering expenses were approximately  $1.9 million .
At March 31, 2017 , we had  4.9 million  outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock which do not meet the requirements for permanent equity classification prescribed by the authoritative guidance because these contain certain cash redemption features that are outside our control. As such, the Series B Preferred Stock is classified outside of permanent equity.
The Series B Preferred Stock dividend for all issued and outstanding shares is set at $1.375 per annum per share. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , we declared dividends of  $1.7 million and $894,000 , respectively, with respect to shares of Series B Preferred Stock.
15. Commitments and Contingencies
Restricted Cash —Under certain management and debt agreements for our hotel properties existing at March 31, 2017 , escrow payments are required for insurance, real estate taxes, and debt service. In addition, for certain properties based on the terms of the underlying debt and management agreements, we escrow 4% to 5% of gross revenues for capital improvements.
Management Fees —Under management agreements for our hotel properties existing at March 31, 2017 , we pay a) monthly property management fees equal to the greater of $10,000 (CPI adjusted since 2003) or 3% of gross revenues, or in some cases 3% to 7% of gross revenues, as well as annual incentive management fees, if applicable, b) project management fees of up to 4% of project costs, c) market service fees including purchasing, design and construction management not to exceed 16.5% of project management budget cumulatively, including project management fees, and d) other general fees at current market rates as approved by our independent directors, if required. These management agreements expire from December 2019 through December 2065, with renewal options. If we terminate a management agreement prior to its expiration, we may be liable for estimated management fees through the remaining term, liquidated damages or, in certain circumstances, we may substitute a new management agreement.
Income Taxes —We and our subsidiaries file income tax returns in the federal jurisdiction and various states. Tax years 2013 through 2016 remain subject to potential examination by certain federal and state taxing authorities.

Litigation —On February 3, 2016, Sessa Capital (Master), L.P. (“Sessa”) filed an action (the “Maryland Action”) in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland, captioned Sessa Capital (Master) L.P. v. Bennett, et al. , Case No. 24-C-16-000557 (Baltimore City Cir. Ct. 2016), against Ashford Prime, the members of the Ashford Prime board of directors, Ashford LLC and Ashford Inc. The Maryland Action generally alleged that the directors of Ashford Prime breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the June 2015 amendments to the Company’s advisory agreement with Ashford LLC. The Maryland Action also alleged that Ashford Inc. aided and abetted those breaches of fiduciary duties. On February 29, 2016, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the Maryland Action. On March 14, 2016, Sessa voluntarily dismissed the Maryland Action.
On February 25, 2016, Ashford Prime filed a lawsuit (the “Texas Federal Action”) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, captioned Ashford Hospitality Prime, Inc. v. Sessa Capital (Master), L.P., et al. , No. 16-cv-00527 (N.D. Texas 2016) (DCG), against Sessa, related entities, and Sessa’s proposed director nominees John E. Petry, Philip B. Livingston, Lawrence A. Cunningham, Daniel B. Silvers and Chris D. Wheeler. The Texas Federal Action generally alleges that the defendants violated federal securities laws because Sessa’s proxy materials contain numerous false claims, material misrepresentations and omissions relating to, among other things, the proposed nominees, the financial risks associated with Sessa’s efforts to gain control of the board and Sessa’s plans and strategy for the Company and its assets. Among other remedies, the Texas Federal Action seeks to enjoin Sessa from proceeding with its proxy contest.
On March 8, 2016, Ashford Prime filed a lawsuit (the “Texas State Action”) in the District Court of Dallas County, Texas, captioned Ashford Hospital Prime, Inc. v. Sessa Capital (Master) L.P., et al. , Cause No. DC-16-02738, against Sessa, related entities, and Sessa’s proposed director nominees John E. Petry, Philip B. Livingston, Lawrence A. Cunningham, Daniel B. Silvers and Chris D. Wheeler. The Texas State Action generally alleges that Sessa’s purported notice of proposed nominees for election to the Ashford Prime board of directors is invalid due to numerous failures by the defendants to comply with material provisions in the Company’s bylaws. Among other things, the Texas State Action seeks a declaratory judgment confirming the inability of Sessa’s proposed director nominees to stand for election at the 2016 annual meeting of stockholders. On March 14, 2016, Sessa removed the Texas State Action from state court to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas with Cause No. 16-cv-00713.
On March 14, 2016, Sessa filed counterclaims and a motion for a preliminary injunction in the Texas Federal Action. These counterclaims include substantially the same claims as previously asserted by Sessa in the Maryland Action, and also allege that the directors of Ashford Prime breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the approval of the Series C Preferred Stock for issuance and the February 2016 amendments to the Amended Partnership Agreement (as defined below). Among other things, Sessa seeks an injunction prohibiting the issuance of shares of Series C Preferred Stock and requiring the board to approve the Sessa candidates, or in the alternative, prohibiting the solicitation of proxies until the board approves the Sessa candidates. On April 2, 2016, Sessa amended its counterclaims alleging that the Company had violated federal proxy solicitation laws by, among other things, stating that Sessa had not complied with the Company’s bylaws and that its purported director nominations are invalid. On April 6, 2016, the Court granted expedited discovery in connection with Sessa’s motion for preliminary injunction and the Company’s anticipated motion for preliminary injunction in the Texas State Action. On April 8, 2016, the Company notified the court that Sessa’s claims relating to the Series C Preferred Stock were moot after the Company unwound the OP Unit enfranchisement preferred equity transaction for the Company’s OP unitholders. On April 13, 2016, the Company filed its motion for preliminary injunction seeking an order declaring that Sessa’s slate of nominees is invalid and enjoining Sessa from submitting the nominees to stockholders for election to the board. On May 20, 2016, the court denied Sessa’s motion for a preliminary injunction and granted the Company’s motion for a preliminary injunction. Sessa appealed the district court’s decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit on May 23, 2016. On December 16, 2016, the Fifth Circuit dismissed Sessa’s appeal of the preliminary injunction as moot. On February 17, 2017, the District Court consolidated the Texas State Action into the Texas Federal Action (the “Consolidated Texas Federal Action”). On the same day, the District Court also dismissed all of Sessa’s counterclaims, except for its claim for violation of federal proxy solicitation laws, which the Company did not move to dismiss. The District Court granted Sessa’s motion to dismiss the Company claim for prima facie tort, but denied Sessa’s motion to dismiss the Company’s remaining claims.
On February 16, 2017, the Company, Ashford Trust and Ashford Inc., and together with the Company, Ashford Trust and each affiliate of the Company, Ashford Trust and Ashford Inc. (the “Ashford Entities”), entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Sessa, Sessa Capital GP, LLC, Sessa Capital IM, L.P., Sessa Capital IM GP, LLC and John Petry (collectively, the “Sessa Entities”) regarding the composition of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), dismissal of pending litigation involving the parties and certain other matters.
Under the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to appoint to the Company’s board of directors two of the five individuals Sessa previously sought to nominate as directors of the Company (“Independent Designees”). The Company is required to make

24

ASHFORD HOSPITALITY PRIME, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(unaudited)


such appointments within two weeks of the date of the Settlement Agreement. Additionally, the Settlement Agreement provides that the Company and the Sessa Entities will work together in good faith to identify one additional director who will be independent of both the Company and Sessa (“Additional Independent Director”).
So long as the Sessa Entities satisfy certain ownership thresholds with respect to the Company’s common stock, the Company agreed to nominate: (i) the Independent Designees; (ii) the Additional Independent Director; and (iii) Montgomery J. Bennett, Stefani D. Carter, Kenneth H. Fearn, Douglas A. Kessler, Curtis B. McWilliams and Matthew D. Rinaldi (or their successors) at each of the 2017 and 2018 annual meetings of Company’s stockholders. In the case of any contested election of directors of the Company, the Sessa Entities have agreed to cause one or both of the Independent Designees to resign from the Board if the preliminary results provided by the inspector of elections at any meeting of stockholders of the Company prior to the closing of the polls indicates with reasonable certainty that any of the incumbent directors or their successors (other than the Independent Designees) will not be elected at such meeting but for the resignation of one or more of the Independent Designees.
Under the Settlement Agreement, the Sessa Entities are subject to specified standstill restrictions relating to the Ashford Entities and lasting generally until the earlier of (x) the date that is fifteen business days prior to the deadline for the submission of stockholder nominations for the 2019 annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders pursuant to the Company’s bylaws or (y) the date that is one hundred fifty days prior to the first anniversary of the 2018 annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders. During the standstill period, the Sessa Entities have agreed to cause all of its shares of the Company to be present for quorum purposes at any meeting of the Company’s stockholders and voted in accordance with the board’s recommendations, subject to certain exceptions. The Settlement Agreement contains various other obligations and provisions applicable to the Ashford Entities and Sessa Entities.
Additionally, the Company agreed to pay the Sessa Entities $2.5 million , of which the Company was reimbursed $2.0 million by its insurance carrier. The net $500,000 expense was included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016, and the $2.5 million payable and the $2.0 million receivable were included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016. The amounts were paid as of March 31, 2017.
On February 20, 2017, the parties submitted a Joint Stipulation of Dismissal, which dismissed each of the parties’ remaining claims in the Consolidated Texas Federal Action with prejudice.
Jesse Small v. Monty J. Bennett, et al., Case No. 24-C-16006020 (Md. Cir. Ct.) On November 16, 2016, Jesse Small, a purported shareholder of Ashford Prime, commenced a derivative action in Maryland Circuit Court for Baltimore City asserting causes of action for breach of fiduciary duty, corporate waste, and declaratory relief against the members of the Ashford Prime board of directors, David Brooks (collectively, the “Individual Defendants”), Ashford Inc. and Ashford LLC. Ashford Prime is named as a nominal defendant. The complaint alleges that the Individual Defendants breached their fiduciary duties to Ashford Prime by negotiating and approving the termination fee provision set forth in Ashford Prime’s advisory agreement with Ashford LLC, that Ashford Inc. and Ashford LLC aided and abetted the Individual Defendants’ fiduciary duty breaches, and that the Ashford Prime board of directors committed corporate waste in connection with Ashford Prime’s purchase of 175,000 shares of Ashford Inc. common stock. The complaint seeks monetary damages and declaratory and injunctive relief, including a declaration that the termination fee provision is unenforceable. The defendants filed motions to dismiss the complaint on March 24, 2017. The plaintiff’s response is due May 23, 2017. The outcome of this matter cannot be predicted with any certainty.
We are engaged in other various legal proceedings which have arisen but have not been fully adjudicated. The likelihood of loss from these legal proceedings, based on definitions within contingency accounting literature, ranges from remote to reasonably possible and to probable. Based on estimates of the range of potential losses associated with these matters, management does not believe the ultimate resolution of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. However, the final results of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty and if we fail to prevail in one or more of these legal matters, and the associated realized losses exceed our current estimates of the range of potential losses, our consolidated financial position or results of operations could be materially adversely affected in future periods.
16. Segment Reporting
We operate in one business segment within the hotel lodging industry: direct hotel investments. Direct hotel investments refer to owning hotel properties through either acquisition or new development. We report operating results of direct hotel investments on an aggregate basis as substantially all of our hotel investments have similar economic characteristics and exhibit similar long-term financial performance. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , all of our hotel properties were in the U.S. and its territories.

17. Related Party Transactions
Ashford LLC, a subsidiary of Ashford Inc., acts as our advisor, and as a result, we pay advisory fees to Ashford LLC. We are required to pay Ashford LLC a quarterly base fee that is a percentage of our total market capitalization on a declining sliding scale plus the Key Money Asset Management Fee (defined in our advisory agreement as the aggregate gross asset value of all key money assets multiplied by 0.70% ), subject to a minimum quarterly base fee, as payment for managing our day-to-day operations in accordance with our investment guidelines. Total market capitalization includes the aggregate principal amount of our consolidated indebtedness (including our proportionate share of debt of any entity that is not consolidated but excluding our joint venture partners’ proportionate share of consolidated debt). The range of base fees on the scale are between 0.70% and 0.50% per annum for total market capitalization that ranges from less than $6.0 billion to greater than $10.0 billion . At March 31, 2017 , the quarterly base fee was 0.70% based on our current market capitalization. We are also required to pay Ashford LLC an incentive fee that is earned annually by Ashford LLC in each year that our annual total stockholder return exceeds the average annual total stockholder return for our peer group, subject to the FCCR Condition, as defined in the advisory agreement. We also reimburse Ashford LLC for certain reimbursable overhead and internal audit, insurance claims advisory and asset management services, as specified in the advisory agreement. We also record equity-based compensation expense for equity grants of common stock and LTIP units awarded to our officers and employees of Ashford LLC in connection with providing advisory services equal to the fair value of the award in proportion to the requisite service period satisfied during the period.
The following table summarizes the advisory services fees incurred (in thousands):

At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , we held a due to Ashford Trust OP, net, of $6,000 and a due from Ashford Trust OP, net, of $488,000 , respectively, which are both associated with certain expenses. At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the balance in due to Ashford Inc., which is primarily associated with advisory services fee payable, was $3.5 million and $5.1 million , respectively. In addition, at December 31, 2016 , we held a receivable from the AQUA U.S. Fund of $2.3 million , associated with the hold back from the AQUA U.S. Fund, of which the funds were received during the first quarter of 2017.
On January 24, 2017, we entered into an amended and restated advisory agreement with Ashford Inc. (the “Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement”) that amends and restates our advisory agreement discussed herein. Although our board of directors, through the action of the independent directors only, may amend the advisory agreement without stockholder approval, the independent directors have elected to seek stockholder approval of the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement. Accordingly, the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement will not become effective unless and until it is approved by our stockholders. The material terms of the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement include:
we will make a cash payment to Ashford LLC of $5.0 million at the time the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement becomes effective;
the termination fee payable to Ashford LLC has been amended by eliminating the 1.1 x multiplier and tax gross up components of the fee;
Ashford Inc. will disclose publicly the revenues and expenses used to calculate “Net Earnings” on a quarterly basis which is used to calculate the termination fee; Ashford LLC will retain an accounting firm to provide a quarterly report to us on the reasonableness of Ashford LLC’s determination of expenses, which will be binding on the parties;
the right of Ashford LLC to appoint a “Designated CEO” has been eliminated;

26

ASHFORD HOSPITALITY PRIME, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(unaudited)


the right of Ashford LLC to terminate the advisory agreement due to a change in a majority of the “Company Incumbent Board” (as defined in the current advisory agreement) has been eliminated;
we will be incentivized to grow our assets under a “growth covenant” in the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement under which we will receive a deemed credit against a base amount of $45.0 million for: 3.75% of the total purchase price of each hotel acquired after the date of the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement that was recommended by Ashford LLC, netted against 3.75% of the total sale price of each hotel sold after the date of the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement. The difference between $45.0 million and such net credit, if any, is referred to as the “Uninvested Amount.” If the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement is terminated, other than due to certain acts by Ashford LLC, we must pay Ashford LLC the Uninvested Amount, in addition to any termination fee payable under the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement;
the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement requires us to maintain a net worth of not less than $390 million plus 75% of the equity proceeds from the sale of securities by us after December 31, 2016 and a covenant prohibiting us from paying dividends except as required to maintain our REIT status if paying the dividend would reduce our net worth below the required minimum net worth;
the initial term of the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement ends on the 10th anniversary of its effective date, subject to renewal by Ashford LLC for up to seven additional successive 10 -year terms;
the base management fee payable to Ashford LLC will be fixed at 70 bps, and the fee will be payable on a monthly basis;
reimbursements of expenses to Ashford LLC will be made monthly in advance, based on an annual expense budget, with a quarterly true-up for actual expenses;
our right to terminate the advisory agreement due to a change of control of Ashford LLC has been eliminated;
our rights to terminate the advisory agreement at the end of each term upon payment of the termination fee based on the parties being unable to agree on new market-based fees or advisor’s performance have been eliminated; however, the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement provides a mechanism for the parties to renegotiate the fees payable to Ashford LLC at the end of each term based on then prevailing market conditions, subject to floors and caps on the changes;
if a Change of Control (as defined in the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement) is pending, we have agreed to deposit not less than 50% , and in certain cases 100% , of the applicable termination fee in escrow, with the payment of any remaining amounts owed to Ashford LLC secured by a letter of credit and/or first priority lien on certain assets;
our ability to terminate the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement due to a material default by Ashford LLC is limited to instances where a court finally determines that the default had a material adverse effect on us and Ashford LLC fails to pay monetary damages in accordance with the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement; and
if we repudiate the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement through actions or omissions that constitute a repudiation as determined by a final non-appealable order from a court of competent jurisdiction, we will be liable to Ashford LLC for a liquidated damages amount.
Certain employees of Remington Lodging, who perform work on behalf of Ashford Prime, were granted approximately 21,000 and 1,000 shares of restricted stock under the Ashford Prime Stock Plan on April 1, 2016 and July 1, 2016, respectively. These share grants were accounted for under the applicable accounting guidance related to share-based payments granted to non-employees and are recorded as a component of “management fees” in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, expense related to such grants was immaterial. The unamortized fair value of these grants was $141,000 as of March 31, 2017 , which will be amortized over a period of 2.0 years.
During first quarter of 2017, we reached a legal settlement with Sessa. See note 15.
18. Subsequent Event
On March 31, 2017, the underwriters of our offering of Series B Preferred Stock that closed on March 7, 2017, partially exercised their over-allotment option and purchased an additional  100,000  shares of our Series B Preferred Stock at $20.19 per share, which closed on April 5, 2017. The net proceeds to us from the sale of the shares after underwriting discounts were approximately  $1.9 million . See note 14.

Overview
We are a Maryland corporation formed in April 2013. We became a public company on November 19, 2013 when Ashford Trust, a NYSE-listed REIT, completed the spin-off of our company through the distribution of our outstanding common stock to the Ashford Trust stockholders. We invest primarily in high revenue per available room (“RevPAR”), luxury hotels and resorts. High RevPAR, for purposes of our investment strategy, means RevPAR of at least twice the then-current U.S. national average RevPAR for all hotels as determined by Smith Travel Research. Two times the U.S. national average was $162 for the year ended December 31, 2016. We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code beginning in the year ended December 31, 2013. We conduct our business and own substantially all of our assets through our operating partnership, Ashford Prime OP.
We operate in the direct hotel investment segment of the hotel lodging industry. As of May 5, 2017 , we own interests in twelve hotel properties in seven states, the District of Columbia and St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands with 3,892 total rooms, or 3,657 net rooms, excluding those attributable to our joint venture partner. The hotel properties in our current portfolio are predominantly located in U.S. urban markets with favorable growth characteristics resulting from multiple demand generators. We own ten of our hotel properties directly, and the remaining two hotel properties through an investment in a majority-owned consolidated entity.
We are advised by Ashford LLC, a subsidiary of Ashford Inc., through an advisory agreement. All of the hotel properties in our portfolio are currently asset-managed by Ashford LLC. We do not have any employees. All of the services that might be provided by employees are provided to us by Ashford LLC.
Recent Developments
On January 18, 2017, the Company refinanced three mortgage loans with existing outstanding balances totaling approximately $333.7 million. The previous mortgage loans that were refinanced had final maturity dates in April 2017. The new mortgage loan totals $365.0 million and has stated maturity of February 2019 with five one-year extension options, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The mortgage loan is interest only and provides for a floating interest rate of LIBOR + 2.58%. The mortgage loan is secured by five hotel properties: Plano Marriott Legacy Town Center, Seattle Marriott Waterfront, Tampa Renaissance, San Francisco Courtyard Downtown and Philadelphia Courtyard Downtown.
On January 24, 2017, the Company announced refinements to its strategy in an effort to enhance shareholder value. The refinements, which have been unanimously endorsed by the Board of Directors, include the following:
Focused Portfolio: Going forward, the Company's portfolio will be predominantly focused on investing in the luxury chain scale segment. Empirical evidence has shown the luxury segment has had greater RevPAR growth over the long term. The Company will continue to target acquisitions of hotels with a RevPAR of at least 2.0x the national average. As a result, four hotel properties have been designated as non-core to the portfolio, including the Courtyard Philadelphia Downtown Hotel, Courtyard San Francisco Downtown Hotel, Renaissance Tampa Hotel and Marriott Legacy Center Hotel in Plano, Texas. The Company intends to either reposition or opportunistically sell these hotel properties in the future if conditions warrant. The Company will also simultaneously pursue new acquisitions in order to grow the portfolio consistent with its stated strategy. Luxury hotels have proven to have superior long-term RevPAR growth versus other chain scales, and the Company believes its exclusive focus of investing in luxury hotels should generate attractive returns for its shareholders.
Increased Dividend: The Company's 2017 dividend policy will be amended commencing with the first quarter by increasing the expected quarterly cash dividend for the Company's common stock by 33%, from $0.12 per diluted share

29

Table of Contents

to $0.16 per diluted share. This equates to an annual rate of $0.64 per diluted share, representing a 4.5% yield based on the Company's closing stock price on January 23, 2017;
Reaffirming Conservative Leverage: The Company will continue to target conservative leverage, with a target leverage level of 45% net debt to gross assets;
Strong Liquidity: The Company will continue to focus on having access to liquidity for both opportunistic investments and as a hedge against economic uncertainty. The Company will target holding 10-15% of its gross debt balance in cash.
On January 24, 2017, we entered into an amended and restated advisory agreement with Ashford Inc. that amends and restates our advisory agreement discussed herein. Although our board of directors, through the action of the independent directors only, may amend the advisory agreement without stockholder approval, the independent directors have elected to seek stockholder approval of the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement. Accordingly, the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement will not become effective unless and until it is approved by our stockholders. The material terms of the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement include:
we will make a cash payment to Ashford LLC of $5.0 million at the time the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement becomes effective;
the termination fee payable to Ashford LLC has been amended by eliminating the 1.1x multiplier and tax gross up components of the fee;
Ashford Inc. will disclose publicly the revenues and expenses used to calculate “Net Earnings” on a quarterly basis which is used to calculate the termination fee; Ashford LLC will retain an accounting firm to provide a quarterly report to us on the reasonableness of Ashford LLC’s determination of expenses, which will be binding on the parties;
the right of Ashford LLC to appoint a “Designated CEO” has been eliminated;
the right of Ashford LLC to terminate the advisory agreement due to a change in a majority of the “Company Incumbent Board” (as defined in the current advisory agreement) has been eliminated;
we will be incentivized to grow our assets under a “growth covenant” in the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement under which we will receive a deemed credit against a base amount of $45.0 million for: 3.75% of the total purchase price of each hotel acquired after the date of the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement that was recommended by Ashford LLC, netted against 3.75% of the total sale price of each hotel sold after the date of the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement. The difference between $45.0 million and such net credit, if any, is referred to as the “Uninvested Amount.” If the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement is terminated, other than due to certain acts by Ashford LLC, we must pay Ashford LLC the Uninvested Amount, in addition to any termination fee payable under the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement;
the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement requires us to maintain a net worth of not less than $390 million plus 75% of the equity proceeds from the sale of securities by us after December 31, 2016 and a covenant prohibiting us from paying dividends except as required to maintain our REIT status if paying the dividend would reduce our net worth below the required minimum net worth;
the initial term of the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement ends on the 10th anniversary of its effective date, subject to renewal by Ashford LLC for up to seven additional successive 10 -year terms;
the base management fee payable to Ashford LLC will be fixed at 70 bps, and the fee will be payable on a monthly basis;
reimbursements of expenses to Ashford LLC will be made monthly in advance, based on an annual expense budget, with a quarterly true-up for actual expenses;
our right to terminate the advisory agreement due to a change of control of Ashford LLC has been eliminated;
our rights to terminate the advisory agreement at the end of each term upon payment of the termination fee based on the parties being unable to agree on new market-based fees or advisor’s performance have been eliminated; however, the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement provides a mechanism for the parties to renegotiate the fees payable to Ashford LLC at the end of each term based on then prevailing market conditions, subject to floors and caps on the changes;
if a Change of Control (as defined in the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement) is pending, we have agreed to deposit not less than 50% , and in certain cases 100% , of the applicable termination fee in escrow, with the payment of any remaining amounts owed to Ashford LLC secured by a letter of credit and/or first priority lien on certain assets;
our ability to terminate the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement due to a material default by Ashford LLC is limited to instances where a court finally determines that the default had a material adverse effect on us and Ashford LLC fails to pay monetary damages in accordance with the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement; and
if we repudiate the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement through actions or omissions that constitute a repudiation as determined by a final non-appealable order from a court of competent jurisdiction, we will be liable to Ashford LLC for a liquidated damages amount.

On February 16, 2017, the Ashford Entities entered into a Settlement Agreement with the Sessa Entities regarding the composition of the Company’s board of directors, dismissal of pending litigation involving the parties and certain other matters. For more information, please see “Legal Proceedings” herein.
On March 1, 2017, we commenced an underwritten public offering of approximately 5.8 million shares of our common stock at $12.15 per share for gross proceeds of $69.9 million . The offering closed on March 7, 2017. The net proceeds from the sale of the shares after underwriting discounts and offering expense were approximately $66.5 million .
On March 1, 2017, we announced that we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the 80-room Hotel Yountville in Yountville, California for $96.5 million. We expect the acquisition to close on or about May 11, 2017.
On March 7, 2017, we closed an offering of approximately 2.0 million shares of our our 5.5% Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the”Series B Preferred Stock”) at $20.19 per share for gross proceeds of $39.9 million . The net proceeds, after underwriting discounts and offering expenses were approximately $38.4 million . Dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock accrue at a rate of 5.50% on the liquidation preference of $25.00 per share. On March 31, 2017, the underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment option and purchased an additional 100,000 shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, which closed on April 5, 2017. The net proceeds to us from the sale of the shares after underwriting discounts and offering expenses were approximately  $1.9 million .
On March 31, 2017, we acquired a 100% interest in the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort & Spa in Beaver Creek, Colorado for total consideration of $145.5 million . Concurrent with the closing of the acquisition, we completed the financing of a $67.5 million mortgage loan. This loan is interest only and provides for a floating interest rate of LIBOR + 2.75%. The stated maturity date of the mortgage loan is April 2019, with three one-year extension options. The mortgage loan is secured by the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek.
On April 27, 2017, Mr. Douglas A. Kessler resigned from the Board of Directors of Ashford Prime and no longer is President of Ashford Prime as a result of being appointed Chief Executive Officer of Ashford Trust.
Key Indicators of Operating Performance
We use a variety of operating and other information to evaluate the operating performance of our business. These key indicators include financial information that is prepared in accordance with GAAP as well as other financial measures that are non-GAAP measures. In addition, we use other information that may not be financial in nature, including statistical information and comparative data. We use this information to measure the operating performance of our individual hotels, groups of hotels and/or business as a whole. We also use these metrics to evaluate the hotels in our portfolio and potential acquisitions to determine each hotel’s contribution to cash flow and its potential to provide attractive long-term total returns. These key indicators include:
Occupancy-Occupancy means the total number of hotel rooms sold in a given period divided by the total number of rooms available. Occupancy measures the utilization of our hotels’ available capacity. We use occupancy to measure demand at a specific hotel or group of hotels in a given period.
ADR-ADR means average daily rate and is calculated by dividing total hotel rooms revenues by total number of rooms sold in a given period. ADR measures average room price attained by a hotel and ADR trends provide useful information concerning the pricing environment and the nature of the customer base of a hotel or group of hotels. We use ADR to assess the pricing levels that we are able to generate.
RevPAR-RevPAR means revenue per available room and is calculated by multiplying ADR by the average daily occupancy. RevPAR is one of the commonly used measures within the hotel industry to evaluate hotel operations. RevPAR does not include revenues from food and beverage sales or parking, telephone or other non-rooms revenues generated by the property. Although RevPAR does not include these ancillary revenues, it is generally considered the leading indicator of core revenues for many hotels. We also use RevPAR to compare the results of our hotels between periods and to analyze results of our comparable hotels (comparable hotels represent hotels we have owned for the entire period). RevPAR improvements attributable to increases in occupancy are generally accompanied by increases in most categories of variable operating costs. RevPAR improvements attributable to increases in ADR are generally accompanied by increases in limited categories of operating costs, such as management fees and franchise fees.
RevPAR changes that are primarily driven by changes in occupancy have different implications for overall revenues and profitability than changes that are driven primarily by changes in ADR. For example, an increase in occupancy at a hotel would lead to additional variable operating costs (including housekeeping services, utilities and room supplies) and could also result in increased other operating department revenue and expense. Changes in ADR typically have a greater impact on operating margins and profitability as they do not have a substantial effect on variable operating costs.

Table of Contents

Occupancy, ADR and RevPAR are commonly used measures within the lodging industry to evaluate operating performance. RevPAR is an important statistic for monitoring operating performance at the individual hotel level and across our entire business. We evaluate individual hotel RevPAR performance on an absolute basis with comparisons to budget and prior periods, as well as on a regional and company-wide basis. ADR and RevPAR include only rooms revenue. Rooms revenue comprised approximately 69.3% and 69.4% of our total hotel revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and is dictated by demand (as measured by occupancy), pricing (as measured by ADR) and our available supply of hotel rooms.
We also use funds from operations (“FFO”), Adjusted FFO (“AFFO”), earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA as measures of the operating performance of our business. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for operating expenses and other expenditures directly associated with our hotels, including:
advisory fees payable to Ashford LLC;
recurring maintenance necessary to maintain our hotel properties in accordance with brand standards;
interest expense and scheduled principal payments on outstanding indebtedness, including our secured revolving credit facility (see “Contractual Obligations and Commitments”);
distributions, in the form of dividends on our common stock, necessary to qualify for taxation as a REIT;
dividends on preferred stock; and
capital expenditures to improve our hotels.
We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements generally through net cash provided by operations, existing cash balances and, if necessary, short-term borrowings under our secured revolving credit facility.
Our long-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for the costs of acquiring additional hotel properties and redevelopments, renovations, expansions and other capital expenditures that need to be made periodically with respect to our hotel properties and scheduled debt payments. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements through various sources of capital, including our secured revolving credit facility and future equity and preferred equity issuances, existing working capital, net cash provided by operations, hotel mortgage indebtedness and other secured and unsecured borrowings. However, there are a number of factors that may have a material adverse effect on our ability to access these capital sources, including the state of overall equity and credit markets, our degree of leverage, our unencumbered asset base and borrowing restrictions imposed by lenders (including as a result of any failure to comply with financial covenants in our existing and future indebtedness), general market conditions for REITs, our operating performance and liquidity and market perceptions about us. The success of our business strategy will depend, in part, on our ability to access these various capital sources.
Our hotel properties will require periodic capital expenditures and renovation to remain competitive. In addition, acquisitions, redevelopments or expansions of hotel properties may require significant capital outlays. We may not be able to fund such capital improvements solely from net cash provided by operations because we must distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deductions for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, to qualify and maintain our qualification as a REIT, and we are subject to tax on any retained income and gains. As a result, our ability to fund capital expenditures, acquisitions or hotel redevelopment through retained earnings is very limited. Consequently, we expect to rely heavily upon the availability of debt or equity capital for these purposes. If we are unable to obtain the necessary capital on favorable terms, or at all, our financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.
Certain of our loan agreements contain cash trap provisions that may be triggered if the performance of our hotel properties decline. When these provisions are triggered, substantially all of the profit generated by our hotel properties is deposited directly into lockbox accounts and then swept into cash management accounts for the benefit of our various lenders. Cash is not distributed to us at any time after the cash trap provisions have been triggered until we have cured the performance issues. Currently, none of the cash trap provisions of our loans are triggered.
On October 27, 2014, our board of directors approved a share repurchase program under which the Company may purchase up to $100 million of the Company’s common stock from time to time. The repurchase program does not have an expiration date. The specific timing, manner, price, amount and other terms of the repurchases are at management’s discretion and depend on market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements and other factors. The Company is not required to repurchase shares under the repurchase program, and may modify, suspend or terminate the repurchase program at any time for any reason. On April 8, 2016, our board of directors authorized utilizing up to $50 million to repurchase common stock. As of May 5, 2017 , we have

purchased a cumulative 4.3 million shares of our common stock, for approximately $63.2 million, since the program’s inception on November 4, 2014.
On January 18, 2017, the Company refinanced three mortgage loans with existing outstanding balances totaling approximately $333.7 million. The previous mortgage loans that were refinanced had final maturity dates in April 2017. The new mortgage loan totals $365.0 million and has stated maturity of February 2019 with five one-year extension options, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The mortgage loan is interest only and provides for a floating interest rate of LIBOR + 2.58%. The mortgage loan is secured by five hotel properties: Plano Marriott Legacy Town Center, Seattle Marriott Waterfront, Tampa Renaissance, San Francisco Courtyard Downtown and Philadelphia Courtyard Downtown.
On March 1, 2017, we commenced an underwritten public offering of approximately 5.8 million shares of our common stock at $12.15 per share for gross proceeds of $69.9 million . The offering closed on March 7, 2017. The net proceeds from the sale of the shares after underwriting discounts and offering expense were approximately $66.5 million .
On March 7, 2017, we closed an offering of approximately 2.0 million shares of our Series B Preferred Stock at $20.19 per share for gross proceeds of $39.9 million . The net proceeds, after underwriting discounts and offering expenses were approximately $38.4 million . Dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock accrue at a rate of 5.50% on the liquidation preference of $25.00 per share. On March 31, 2017, the underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment option and purchased an additional 100,000 shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, which closed on April 5, 2017. The net proceeds to us from the sale of the shares after underwriting discounts and offering expenses were approximately  $1.9 million .
On March 31, 2017, in connection with the acquisition of Park Hyatt Beaver Creek, we completed the financing of a $67.5 million loan. This loan is interest only and provides for a floating interest rate of LIBOR + 2.75%. The stated maturity date of the mortgage loan is April 2019, with three one-year extension options. The mortgage loan is secured by the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek.
Secured Revolving Credit Facility
We have a three-year, senior secured revolving credit facility in the amount of $100 million. It includes $15 million available in letters of credit and $15 million available in swingline loans. We believe the secured revolving credit facility will provide us with significant financial flexibility to fund future acquisitions and hotel redevelopments.
The secured credit facility is provided by a syndicate of financial institutions with Bank of America, N.A., serving as the administrative agent to Ashford Prime OP, as the borrower. We and certain of our subsidiaries guarantee the secured revolving credit facility, which is secured by a pledge of 100% of the equity interests we hold in Ashford Prime OP and 100% of the equity interest issued by any guarantor (other than Ashford Prime) or any other subsidiary of ours that is not restricted under its loan documents or organizational documents from having its equity pledged (subject to certain exclusions), all mortgage receivables held by the borrower or any guarantor, and certain deposit accounts and securities accounts held by the borrower and any guarantor. The proceeds of the secured revolving credit facility may be used for working capital, capital expenditures, property acquisitions, and any other lawful purposes.
The secured revolving credit facility also contains customary terms, covenants, negative covenants, events of default, limitations and other conditions for credit facilities of this type. Subject to certain exceptions, we are subject to restrictions on incurring additional indebtedness, mergers and fundamental changes, sales or other dispositions of property, changes in the nature of our business, investments, and capital expenditures.
We also are subject to certain financial covenants, as set forth below, which are tested by the borrower on a consolidated basis (net of the amounts attributable to the non-controlling interest held by our partner in a majority-owned consolidated entity) and include, but are not limited to, the following:
Consolidated indebtedness (less cash and cash equivalents and amounts represented by marketable securities) to EBITDA not to exceed 6.00x initially, with such ratio being reduced beginning October 1, 2017 to 5.75x and beginning October 1, 2019 to 5.50x. Our ratio was 5.51 x at March 31, 2017 .
Consolidated recourse indebtedness other than the secured revolving credit facility not to exceed $50,000,000.
Consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio not less than 1.40x initially, with such ratio being increased beginning October 1, 2017 to 1.50x. This ratio was 1.90 x at March 31, 2017 .
Indebtedness of the consolidated parties that accrues interest at a variable rate (other than the secured revolving credit facility) that is not subject to a “cap,” “collar,” or other similar arrangement not to exceed 25% of consolidated indebtedness.
Consolidated tangible net worth not less than 75% of the consolidated tangible net worth on the closing date of the secured revolving credit facility plus 75% of the net proceeds of any future equity issuances.

33

Table of Contents

Secured debt that is secured by real property (excluding the eight hotels we acquired in connection with the spin-off) not to exceed 70% of the as-is appraised value of such real property.
All financial covenants are tested and certified by the borrower on a quarterly basis. We were in compliance with all covenants at March 31, 2017 .
The secured revolving credit facility includes customary events of default, and the occurrence of an event of default will permit the lenders to terminate commitments to lend under the secured revolving credit facility and accelerate payment of all amounts outstanding thereunder. If a default occurs and is continuing, we will be precluded from making distributions on our shares of common stock (other than those required to allow us to qualify and maintain our status as a REIT, so long as such default does not arise from a payment default or event of insolvency).
Borrowings under the secured revolving credit facility bear interest, at our option, at either LIBOR for a designated interest period plus an applicable margin, or the base rate (as defined in the credit agreement) plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for borrowings under the secured revolving credit facility for base rate loans range from 1.25% to 2.50% per annum and the applicable margin for borrowings under the secured revolving credit facility for LIBOR loans range from 2.25% to 3.50% per annum, depending on the ratio of consolidated indebtedness to EBITDA described above, with the lowest rate applying if such ratio is less than 4x, and the highest rate applying if such ratio is greater than 6.5x.
The secured revolving credit facility is a three-year interest-only facility with all outstanding principal being due at maturity on November 10, 2019, subject to two one-year extension options if certain terms and conditions are satisfied. The secured revolving credit facility has an accordion feature whereby the aggregate commitments may be increased up to $250 million, subject to certain terms and conditions and a 0.25% extension fee. No amounts were drawn under the secured revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2017 .
We intend to repay indebtedness incurred under our secured revolving credit facility from time to time out of net cash provided by operations and from the net proceeds of issuances of additional equity and debt securities, as market conditions permit.
Sources and Uses of Cash
As of March 31, 2017 , we had $161.3 million of cash and cash equivalents, compared to $126.8 million at December 31, 2016 .
We anticipate that our principal sources of funds to meet our cash requirements will include cash on hand, positive cash flow from operations and capital market activities.
Net Cash Flows Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities . Net cash flows provided by operating activities were $4.6 million and $12.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. Cash flows from operations are impacted by changes in hotel operations of our eleven comparable hotel properties and the sale of the Seattle Courtyard Downtown on July 1, 2016. Cash flows from operations are also impacted by the timing of working capital cash flows such as collecting receivables from hotel guests, paying vendors, settling with related parties and settling with hotel managers. The decrease in net cash flows provided by operating activities is primarily attributable to changes in working capital balances.
Net Cash Flows Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities . For the three months ended March 31, 2017 , net cash flows used in investing activities were $161.0 million . These cash outflows were primarily attributable to  $154.0 million for the acquisition of the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek and deposits on the acquisition of Hotel Yountville and $9.3 million of capital improvements made to various hotel properties, partially offset by $2.3 million  of proceeds received from the liquidation of our investment in the AQUA U.S. Fund. For the  three months ended March 31, 2016 , investing activities used net cash flows of  $2.7 million . These cash outlays were primarily attributable to cash outflows of  $3.4 million  of capital improvements made to various hotel properties partially offset by proceeds from property insurance of $673,000 .
Net Cash Flows Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 , net cash flows provided by financing activities were $188.9 million . Cash inflows primarily consisted of borrowings on indebtedness of  $432.5 million , proceeds of $66.7 million from the issuance of common stock and $38.6 million from the issuance of convertible preferred stock. These cash inflows were partially offset by $334.8 million for repayments of indebtedness, $9.1 million for payments of loan costs and exit fees, $4.6 million for payments of dividends and distributions, $319,000 for purchases of derivatives and repurchase of common stock of $6,000 . For the  three months ended March 31, 2016 , net cash flows used in financing activities were  $9.4 million . Cash outflows primarily consisted of $3.8 million for distributions to the holder of a noncontrolling interest in consolidated entities, $3.4 million  for payments of dividends and distributions, $2.1 million  for repayments of indebtedness and $15,000  for payments of loan costs and exit fees. These cash outflows were slightly offset by other miscellaneous cash inflows of $19,000 .

Net loss attributable to the Company decreased $121,000 , or 90.3% , to $13,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 (the “ 2017 quarter ”) compared to a net loss attributable to the Company of $134,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 (the “ 2016 quarter ”) as a result of the factors discussed below.
Rooms Revenue . Rooms revenue from our hotel properties de creased $1.8 million , or 2.6% , to $67.4 million during the 2017 quarter compared to the 2016 quarter . During the 2017 quarter , we experienced a 4.2% in crease in room rates and a 66 basis point in crease in occupancy. Rooms revenue from our eleven comparable hotel properties increased $902,000 due to a 68 basis point increase in occupancy and higher room rates of 1.6% . Rooms revenue decreased (i) $2.7 million at the Seattle Courtyard Downtown as a result of the sale of the hotel property on July 1, 2016; (ii) $1.1 million at the San Francisco Courtyard Downtown as a result of a 843 basis point decrease in occupancy and a 0.7% decrease in room rates at the hotel due to a renovation during the 2017 quarter; (iii) $162,000 at the Key West Pier House as a result of a 344 basis point decrease in occupancy, partially offset by 2.1% higher room rates at the hotel; (iv) $145,000 at the Chicago Sofitel Magnificent Mile as a result of 5.1% lower room rates, partially offset by a 150 basis point increase in occupancy at the hotel; (v) $112,000 at the Plano Marriott Legacy Town Center as a result of 4.9% lower room rates, partially offset by a 281 basis point increase in occupancy at the hotel; (vi) $105,000 at the Philadelphia Courtyard as a result of 0.2% lower room rates and a 58 basis point decrease in occupancy at the hotel; and (vii) $94,000 at the Ritz-Carlton, St. Thomas as a result of an 80 basis point decrease in occupancy, partially offset by 1.2% higher room rates at the hotel.

Hotel as a result of 7.9% higher room rates and 39 basis point increase in occupancy at the hotel; and (v) $35,000 at the Tampa Renaissance as a result of 6.8% higher room rates, partially offset by a 411 basis point decrease in occupancy at the hotel.
Food and Beverage Revenue . Food and beverage revenue from our hotel properties de creased $392,000 , or 1.6% , to $24.5 million during the 2017 quarter compared to the 2016 quarter . This de crease is due to a decrease of $269,000 at the Seattle Courtyard Downtown as a result of the sale of the hotel property on July 1, 2016 and an aggregate decrease in food and beverage revenue of $1.1 million at the Ritz-Carlton, St. Thomas , Chicago Sofitel Magnificent Mile , Bardessono Hotel , Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines , San Francisco Courtyard Downtown and Tampa Renaissance . These decreases were partially offset by higher aggregate food and beverage revenue of $983,000 at the Capital Hilton , Seattle Marriott Waterfront , Plano Marriott Legacy Town Center , Key West Pier House and Philadelphia Courtyard .
Other Hotel Revenue . Other hotel revenue, which consists mainly of telecommunications, parking and rentals, de creased $283,000 , or 5.0% , to $5.4 million during the 2017 quarter compared to the 2016 quarter . This de crease is attributable to an decrease of $182,000 at the Seattle Courtyard Downtown as a result of the sale of the hotel property on July 1, 2016 and an aggregate decrease of $439,000 at the Bardessono Hotel , San Francisco Courtyard Downtown , Philadelphia Courtyard , Key West Pier House , Plano Marriott Legacy Town Center , Seattle Marriott Waterfront and Chicago Sofitel Magnificent Mile . This decrease was partially offset by higher aggregate other revenue at the Ritz-Carlton, St. Thomas , Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines , Capital Hilton and Tampa Renaissance of approximately $338,000 .
Other Non-Hotel Revenue . Other non-hotel revenue in creased $7,000 , or 21.2% , to $40,000 in the 2017 quarter compared to the 2016 quarter . The in crease is attributable to higher Texas margin tax recoveries from guests.
Rooms Expense . Rooms expense de creased $22,000 , or 0.1% , to $15.8 million in the 2017 quarter compared to the 2016 quarter . The de crease is attributable to a decrease of $524,000 at the Seattle Courtyard Downtown as a result of the sale of the hotel property on July 1, 2016, partially offset by an aggregate increase in rooms expense at our eleven comparable hotel properties of approximately $502,000 .
Food and Beverage Expense . Food and beverage expense de creased $584,000 , or 3.3% , to $16.9 million during the 2017 quarter compared to the 2016 quarter . The decrease is due to an aggregate decrease of $361,000 at our eleven comparable hotel properties and $223,000 from the sale of the Seattle Courtyard Downtown .
Other Operating Expenses . Other operating expenses de creased $608,000 , or 2.1% , to $27.7 million in the 2017 quarter compared to the 2016 quarter . Hotel operating expenses consist of direct expenses from departments associated with revenue streams and indirect expenses associated with support departments and incentive management fees. We experienced a de crease of $9,000 in direct expenses and $599,000 in indirect expenses and incentive management fees in the 2017 quarter compared to the 2016 quarter . Direct expenses were 1.9% of total hotel revenue for both the 2017 quarter and the 2016 quarter . The decrease in direct expenses is comprised of a decrease of $16,000 from the sale of the Seattle Courtyard Downtown partially offset by an aggregate increase of $7,000 at our eleven comparable hotel properties. The decrease in indirect expenses is primarily attributable to decreases in (i) repairs and maintenance of $235,000, including $150,000 from our eleven comparable hotel properties and $85,000 from the sale of the Seattle Courtyard Downtown ; (ii) marketing costs of $185,000, comprised of $218,000 from the sale of the Seattle Courtyard Downtown , partially offset by an increase of $33,000 from our eleven comparable hotel properties; (iii) incentive management fees of $157,000, including $83,000 from our eleven comparable hotel properties and $74,000 from the sale of the Seattle Courtyard Downtown , and (iv) general and administrative costs of $129,000, comprised of a $317,000 decrease related to the sale of the Seattle Courtyard Downtown , partially offset by an increase of $187,000 from our eleven comparable hotel properties. These decreases were partially offset by increases in (i) energy costs of $98,000, comprised of an increase of $171,000 from our eleven comparable hotel properties, partially offset by a decrease of $73,000 resulting from the sale of the Seattle Courtyard Downtown and (ii) lease expense of $10,000, comprised of an increase of $13,000 from our eleven comparable hotel properties, partially offset by a decrease of $3,000 resulting from the sale of the Seattle Courtyard Downtown .
Management Fees . Base management fees de creased $262,000 , or 6.9% , to $3.5 million in the 2017 quarter compared to the 2016 quarter . The decrease is comprised of a decrease of $223,000 as a result of the sale of the Seattle Courtyard Downtown on July 1, 2016 and $81,000 associated with the lower hotel revenue at the San Francisco Courtyard Downtown due to ongoing renovations. These decreases are partially offset by an aggregate increase of $42,000 from our ten remaining hotel properties which had higher hotel revenues in the 2017 quarter .
Property Taxes, Insurance and Other . Property taxes, insurance and other in creased $31,000 , or 0.6% , to $5.1 million in the 2017 quarter compared to the 2016 quarter , which is attributable to increases of $194,000 from our eleven comparable hotel properties partially offset by a decrease of $163,000 from the sale of the Seattle Courtyard Downtown .

Table of Contents

Depreciation and Amortization . Depreciation and amortization in creased $67,000 , or 0.6% , to $12.0 million for the 2017 quarter compared to the 2016 quarter , which is due to an aggregate increase of $606,000 from our eleven comparable hotel properties partially offset by a decrease of $539,000 from the sale of the Seattle Courtyard Downtown .
Advisory Services Fee. Advisory services fee de creased  $1.2 million , or 58.1% , to  $865,000  in the 2017 quarter compared to the 2016 quarter as a result of decreases in equity-based compensation of $1.1 million , reimbursable expenses of $105,000 and base advisory fee of $22,000 . In the 2017 quarter , we recorded an advisory services fee of $865,000 which included a base advisory fee of $2.0 million , reimbursable expenses of $547,000 and a credit to equity-based compensation expense in the amount of $1.7 million associated with equity grants of our common stock and LTIP units awarded to the officers and employees of Ashford Inc. The credit to equity-based compensation expense is a result of lower fair values at March 31, 2017 as compared to December 31, 2016. In the 2016 quarter , we incurred an advisory services fee of $2.1 million , which included a base advisory fee of $2.0 million , reimbursable expenses of  $652,000 and a credit to equity-based compensation of  $613,000  associated with equity grants of our common stock and LTIP units awarded to the officers and employees of Ashford Inc.
Transaction Costs. In the  2017 quarter , we recorded transaction costs of $4.3 million primarily related to the acquisition of Park Hyatt Beaver Creek and transfer taxes.
Corporate General and Administrative . Corporate general and administrative expenses de creased $49,000 , or 1.2% , to $3.9 million in the 2017 quarter compared to the 2016 quarter as a result of decreases in professional fees of $269,000, primarily related to the proxy contest and litigation in 2016 and lower public company costs of $64,000. These decreases were partially offset by higher miscellaneous expenses of $266,000 and equity-based compensation to non-employee directors of $18,000.
Equity in Earnings (Loss) of Unconsolidated Entity . We recorded equity in loss of unconsolidated entity of $2.7 million in the 2016 quarter related to our investment in the AQUA U.S. Fund. We did not have any equity in earnings (loss) in the  2017 quarter  as this investment was liquidated in June 2016.
Interest Income . Interest income in creased $80,000 , or 250.0% , to $112,000 for the 2017 quarter compared to the 2016 quarter .
Other Income (Expense) . Other income (expense) increased  $147,000 , from expense of $10,000  in 2016 quarter to expense of $157,000 in the  2017 quarter . In 2017 , we recognized a realized loss of $157,000 related to options on futures contracts. In 2016 , we recorded $10,000 of commissions paid upon purchasing options on futures contracts.
Interest Expense and Amortization of Loan Costs . Interest expense and amortization of loan costs de creased $2.4 million , or 22.9% , to $8.2 million for the 2017 quarter compared to the 2016 quarter . The decrease is primarily driven by lower interest expense from the sale of Seattle Courtyard Downtown on July 1, 2016 and the refinancing of three mortgage loans, partially offset by higher amortization of loan costs from the refinance and higher average LIBOR rates. The average LIBOR rates for the 2017 quarter and the 2016 quarter were 0.83% and 0.42% , respectively.
Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Investment in Ashford Inc. Unrealized gain (loss) on investment in Ashford Inc. changed $4.6 million , or 307.0% , from an unrealized loss of $1.5 million to an unrealized gain of $3.1 million for the 2017 quarter compared to the 2016 quarter . The fair value is based on the closing market price of Ashford Inc. common stock at the end of the period.
Write-off of Loan Costs and Exit Fees. Write-off of loan costs and exit fees were $2.0 million for the 2017 quarter , resulting from the write-off of unamortized loan costs of $107,000 and exit fees of $1.9 million associated with the refinancing of three mortgage loans maturing April of 2017. The mortgage loans were refinanced with a $365.0 million mortgage loan due February 2019. There were no write-off of loan costs and exit fees in the 2016 quarter .
Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Derivatives . Unrealized loss on derivatives of $898,000 for the 2017 quarter consisted of a $759,000 unrealized loss on interest rate floors, $256,000 unrealized loss on interest rate caps, partially offset by a $117,000 unrealized gain on options on futures contracts. Unrealized gain on derivatives of  $3.5 million  for the  2016 quarter  consisted of a $3.6 million unrealized gain on interest rate floors and a $20,000 unrealized gain on options on futures contracts, partially offset by an unrealized loss on interest rate caps of $47,000. The fair value of the interest rate caps and floors are primarily based on movements in the LIBOR forward curve and the passage of time. The fair value of options on futures contracts is the last reported settlement price as of the measurement date.
Income Tax (Expense) Benefit . Income tax (expense) benefit in creased $848,000 , or 229.2% , from income tax expense of $370,000 in the 2016 quarter to an income tax benefit of $478,000 in the 2017 quarter . This change was primarily due to a decrease in the profitability of the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries in the 2017 period compared to the 2016 period.
(Income) Loss from Consolidated Entities Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest . The noncontrolling interest partner in consolidated entities was allocated loss of $21,000 and income of $145,000 for the 2017 quarter and the 2016 quarter , respectively.

38

Table of Contents

At both March 31, 2017 and 2016, noncontrolling interest in consolidated entities represented an ownership interest of 25% in two hotel properties held by one entity.
Net (Income) Loss Attributable to Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in Operating Partnership. Noncontrolling interests in operating partnership were allocated net loss of $255,000 and $150,000 for the 2017 quarter and the 2016 quarter , respectively. Redeemable noncontrolling interests represented ownership interests in Ashford Prime OP of 13.12% and 12.75% as of March 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively.
Seasonality
Our properties’ operations historically have been seasonal as certain properties maintain higher occupancy rates during the summer months and some during the winter months. This seasonality pattern can cause fluctuations in our quarterly lease revenue under our percentage leases. We anticipate that our cash flows from the operations of our properties and cash on hand will be sufficient to enable us to make quarterly distributions to maintain our REIT status. To the extent that cash flows from operations and cash on hand are insufficient during any quarter due to temporary or seasonal fluctuations in lease revenue, we expect to utilize borrowings to fund distributions required to maintain our REIT status. However, we cannot make any assurances that we will make distributions in the future.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
There have been no material changes since December 31, 2016 , outside of the ordinary course of business, to contractual obligations specified in the table of contractual obligations included in the section “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our 2016 10-K.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the normal course of business, we may form or invest in partnerships or joint ventures. We evaluate each partnership and joint venture to determine whether the entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”). If the entity is determined to be a VIE we assess whether we are the primary beneficiary and need to consolidate the entity. For further discussion see note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
We have no other off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our accounting policies that are critical or most important to understanding our financial condition and results of operations and that require management to make the most difficult judgments are described in the section “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our 2016 10-K. There have been no material changes in these critical accounting policies.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The following non-GAAP presentations of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, FFO and AFFO are made to help our investors evaluate our operating performance.
EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to the Company before interest expense and amortization of loan costs, interest income, depreciation and amortization, income taxes and redeemable noncontrolling interests in the operating partnership. We adjust EBITDA to exclude certain additional items such as amortization of favorable (unfavorable) contract assets (liabilities), transaction costs, write-off of loan costs and exit fees, legal, advisory and settlement costs and non-cash items such as other (income) expense, unrealized (gain) loss on investments, unrealized (gain) loss on derivatives, stock/unit-based compensation and the Company’s portion of unrealized (gain) loss of investment in securities investment fund. Unless otherwise indicated, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude amounts attributable to the portion of a partnership owned by the third party. We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because we believe they reflect more accurately the ongoing performance of our hotel assets and other investments and provide more useful information to investors as they are indicators of our ability to meet our future debt payment requirements, working capital requirements and they provide an overall evaluation of our financial condition. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as calculated by us may not be comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA reported by other companies that do not define EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exactly as we define the terms. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income or net income determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of performance or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as determined by GAAP as an indicator of liquidity.

We calculate FFO and AFFO in the following table. FFO is calculated on the basis defined by NAREIT, which is net income (loss) attributable to the Company, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses on sales of properties and extraordinary items as defined by GAAP, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and after redeemable noncontrolling interests in the operating partnership. NAREIT developed FFO as a relative measure of performance of an equity REIT to recognize that income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the basis determined by GAAP. Our calculation of AFFO excludes preferred dividends, transaction costs, write-off of loan costs and exit fees, legal, advisory and settlement costs and non-cash items such as other (income) expense, unrealized (gain) loss on investments, unrealized (gain) loss on derivatives, stock/unit-based compensation and the Company’s portion of unrealized (gain) loss of investment in securities investment fund. FFO and AFFO exclude amounts attributable to the portion of a partnership owned by the third party. We consider FFO and AFFO to be appropriate measures of our ongoing normalized operating performance as a REIT. We compute FFO in accordance with our interpretation of standards established by NAREIT, which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that either do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or interpret the NAREIT definition differently than us. FFO and AFFO do not represent cash generated from operating activities as determined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income or loss as an indication of our financial performance or GAAP cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. FFO and AFFO are also not indicative of funds available to satisfy our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. However, to facilitate a clear understanding of our historical operating results, we believe that FFO and AFFO should be considered along with our net income or loss and cash flows reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our primary market risk exposure consists of changes in interest rates on borrowings under our debt instruments that bear interest at variable rates that fluctuate with market interest rates. To the extent that we acquire assets or conduct operations in an international jurisdiction, we will also have currency exchange risk. We may enter into certain hedging arrangements in order to manage interest rate and currency fluctuations. The analysis below presents the sensitivity of the market value of our financial instruments to selected changes in market interest rates.
At March 31, 2017 , our total indebtedness of $864.7 million included $856.6 million of variable-rate debt. The impact on the results of operations of a 25-basis point change in interest rate on the outstanding balance of variable-rate debt at March 31, 2017 , would be approximately $2.1 million per year. Interest rate changes will have no impact on the remaining $8.1 million of fixed rate debt.
The above amounts were determined based on the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our borrowings and assume no changes in our capital structure. The information presented above includes those exposures that existed at March 31, 2017 , but it does not consider exposures or positions that could arise after that date. Accordingly, the information presented herein has limited predictive value. As a result, the ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on exposures that arise during the period, the hedging strategies at the time, and the related interest rates.
We have entered into interest rate floors with an aggregate notional amount and strike rate of $3.0 billion and -0.25% , respectively for an initial total upfront cost of $3.5 million . Our total exposure is capped at our initial total cost of $3.5 million. These instruments have a maturity date of July 2020.
We have purchased options on Eurodollar futures, excluding those that have matured, to hedge our cash flow risk for total costs of $124,000 . Eurodollar futures prices reflect market expectations for interest rates on three month Eurodollar deposits for specific dates in the future, and the final settlement price is determined by three-month LIBOR on the last trading day. Options on Eurodollar futures provide the ability to limit losses while maintaining the possibility of profiting from favorable changes in the futures prices. As the purchaser, our maximum potential loss is limited to the initial premium paid for the Eurodollar option contracts, while our potential gain has no limit. These exchange-traded options are centrally cleared, and a clearinghouse stands in between all trades to ensure that the obligations involved in the trades are satisfied.

ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of March 31, 2017 (“Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms; and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

ITEM 1.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Sessa Litigation
On February 3, 2016, Sessa Capital (Master), L.P. (“Sessa”) filed an action (the “Maryland Action”) in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland, captioned Sessa Capital (Master) L.P. v. Bennett, et al. , Case No. 24-C-16-000557 (Baltimore City Cir. Ct. 2016), against Ashford Prime, the members of the Ashford Prime board of directors, Ashford LLC and Ashford Inc. The Maryland Action generally alleged that the directors of Ashford Prime breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the June Amendments to the Company’s advisory agreement with Ashford LLC. The Maryland Action also alleged that Ashford Inc. aided and abetted those breaches of fiduciary duties. On February 29, 2016, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the Maryland Action. On March 14, 2016, Sessa voluntarily dismissed the Maryland Action.
On February 25, 2016, Ashford Prime filed a lawsuit (the “Texas Federal Action”) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, captioned Ashford Hospitality Prime, Inc. v. Sessa Capital (Master), L.P., et al. , No. 16-cv-00527 (N.D. Texas 2016) (DCG), against Sessa, related entities, and Sessa’s proposed director nominees John E. Petry, Philip B. Livingston, Lawrence A. Cunningham, Daniel B. Silvers and Chris D. Wheeler. The Texas Federal Action generally alleged that the defendants violated federal securities laws because Sessa’s proxy materials contain numerous false claims, material misrepresentations and omissions relating to, among other things, the proposed nominees, the financial risks associated with Sessa’s efforts to gain control of the board and Sessa’s plans and strategy for the Company and its assets. Among other remedies, the Texas Federal Action sought to enjoin Sessa from proceeding with its proxy contest.
On March 8, 2016, Ashford Prime filed a lawsuit (the “Texas State Action”) in the District Court of Dallas County, Texas, captioned Ashford Hospital Prime, Inc. v. Sessa Capital (Master) L.P., et al. , Cause No. DC-16-02738, against Sessa, related entities, and Sessa’s proposed director nominees John E. Petry, Philip B. Livingston, Lawrence A. Cunningham, Daniel B. Silvers and Chris D. Wheeler. The Texas State Action generally alleges that Sessa’s purported notice of proposed nominees for election to the Ashford Prime board of directors is invalid due to numerous failures by the defendants to comply with material provisions in the Company’s bylaws. Among other things, the Texas State Action sought a declaratory judgment confirming the inability of Sessa’s proposed director nominees to stand for election at the 2016 annual meeting of stockholders. On March 14, 2016, Sessa removed the Texas State Action from state court to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas with Cause No. 16-cv-00713.
On March 14, 2016, Sessa filed counterclaims and a motion for a preliminary injunction in the Texas Federal Action. These counterclaims include substantially the same claims as previously asserted by Sessa in the Maryland Action, and also allege that the directors of Ashford Prime breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the approval of the Series C Preferred Stock for issuance and the February 2016 amendments to the Amended Partnership Agreement (as defined below). Among other things, Sessa sought an injunction prohibiting the issuance of shares of Series C Preferred Stock and requiring the board to approve the Sessa candidates, or in the alternative, prohibiting the solicitation of proxies until the board approves the Sessa candidates. On April 2, 2016, Sessa amended its counterclaims alleging that the Company had violated federal proxy solicitation laws by, among other things, stating that Sessa had not complied with the Company’s bylaws and that its purported director nominations are invalid. Sessa did not seek monetary damages, but it sought reimbursement of its attorneys’ fees and costs. On April 6, 2016, the Court granted expedited discovery in connection with Sessa’s motion for preliminary injunction and the Company’s anticipated motion for preliminary injunction in the Texas State Action. On April 8, 2016, the Company notified the court that Sessa’s claims relating to the Series C Preferred Stock were moot after the Company unwound the OP Unit enfranchisement preferred equity transaction for the Company’s OP unitholders. On April 13, 2016, the Company filed its motion for preliminary injunction seeking an order declaring that Sessa’s slate of nominees is invalid and enjoining Sessa from submitting the nominees to stockholders for election

to the board. On May 20, 2016, the court denied Sessa’s motion for a preliminary injunction and granted the Company’s motion for a preliminary injunction. Sessa appealed the district court’s decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit on May 23, 2016. On December 16, 2016, the Fifth Circuit dismissed Sessa’s appeal of the preliminary injunction as moot. On February 17, 2017, the District Court consolidated the Texas State Action into the Texas Federal Action (the “Consolidated Texas Federal Action”). On the same day, the District Court also dismissed all of Sessa’s counterclaims, except for its claim for violation of federal proxy solicitation laws, which the Company did not move to dismiss. The District Court granted Sessa’s motion to dismiss the Company claim for prima facie tort, but denied Sessa’s motion to dismiss the Company’s remaining claims.
On February 16, 2017, the Company, Ashford Trust and Ashford Inc., and together with the Company, Ashford Trust and each affiliate of the Company, Ashford Trust and Ashford Inc., (the “Ashford Entities”), entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Sessa, Sessa Capital GP, LLC, Sessa Capital IM, L.P., Sessa Capital IM GP, LLC and John Petry (collectively, the “Sessa Entities”) regarding the composition of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), dismissal of pending litigation involving the parties and certain other matters.
Under the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to appoint to the Company’s board of directors two of the five individuals Sessa previously sought to nominate as directors of the Company (“Independent Designees”). The Company is required to make such appointments within two weeks of the date of the Settlement Agreement. Additionally, the Settlement Agreement provides that the Company and the Sessa Entities will work together in good faith to identify one additional director who will be independent of both the Company and Sessa (“Additional Independent Director”).
So long as the Sessa Entities satisfy certain ownership thresholds with respect to the Company’s common stock, the Company agreed to nominate: (i) the Independent Designees; (ii) the Additional Independent Director; and (iii) Montgomery J. Bennett, Stefani D. Carter, Kenneth H. Fearn, Douglas A. Kessler, Curtis B. McWilliams and Matthew D. Rinaldi (or their successors) at each of the 2017 and 2018 annual meetings of Company’s stockholders. In the case of any contested election of directors of the Company, the Sessa Entities have agreed to cause one or both of the Independent Designees to resign from the Board if the preliminary results provided by the inspector of elections at any meeting of stockholders of the Company prior to the closing of the polls indicates with reasonable certainty that any of the incumbent directors or their successors (other than the Independent Designees) will not be elected at such meeting but for the resignation of one or more of the Independent Designees.
Under the Settlement Agreement, the Sessa Entities are subject to specified standstill restrictions relating to the Ashford Entities and lasting generally until the earlier of (x) the date that is fifteen business days prior to the deadline for the submission of stockholder nominations for the 2019 annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders pursuant to the Company’s bylaws or (y) the date that is one hundred fifty days prior to the first anniversary of the 2018 annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders. During the standstill period, the Sessa Entities have agreed to cause all of its shares of the Company to be present for quorum purposes at any meeting of the Company’s stockholders and voted in accordance with the board’s recommendations, subject to certain exceptions. The Settlement Agreement contains various other obligations and provisions applicable to the Ashford Entities and Sessa Entities.
On February 20, 2017, the parties submitted a Joint Stipulation of Dismissal, which dismissed each of the parties’ remaining claims in the Consolidated Texas Federal Action with prejudice.
Additionally, the Company agreed to pay the Sessa Entities $2.5 million , of which the Company was reimbursed $2.0 million by its insurance carrier. The net $500,000 expense was included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016, and the $2.5 million payable and the $2.0 million receivable were included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016. The amounts were paid as of March 31, 2017.
Jesse Small v. Monty J. Bennett, et al., Case No. 24-C-16006020 (Md. Cir. Ct.) On November 16, 2016, Jesse Small, a purported shareholder of Ashford Prime, commenced a derivative action in Maryland Circuit Court for Baltimore City asserting causes of action for breach of fiduciary duty, corporate waste, and declaratory relief against the members of the Ashford Prime board of directors, David Brooks (collectively, the “Individual Defendants”), Ashford Inc. and Ashford LLC. Ashford Prime is named as a nominal defendant. The complaint alleges that the Individual Defendants breached their fiduciary duties to Ashford Prime by negotiating and approving the termination fee provision set forth in Ashford Prime’s advisory agreement with Ashford LLC, that Ashford Inc. and Ashford LLC aided and abetted the Individual Defendants’ fiduciary duty breaches, and that the Ashford Prime board of directors committed corporate waste in connection with Ashford Prime’s purchase of 175,000 shares of Ashford Inc. common stock. The complaint seeks monetary damages and declaratory and injunctive relief, including a declaration that the termination fee provision is unenforceable. The defendants filed motions to dismiss the complaint on March 24, 2017. The plaintiff’s response is due May 23, 2017. The outcome of this matter cannot be predicted with any certainty.

We are engaged in other various legal proceedings which have arisen but have not been fully adjudicated. The likelihood of loss from these legal proceedings, based on definitions within contingency accounting literature, ranges from remote to reasonably possible and to probable. Based on estimates of the range of potential losses associated with these matters, management does not believe the ultimate resolution of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. However, the final results of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty and if we fail to prevail in one or more of these legal matters, and the associated realized losses exceed our current estimates of the range of potential losses, our consolidated financial position or results of operations could be materially adversely affected in future periods.
ITEM 1A.
RISK FACTORS
The discussion of our business and operations should be read together with the risk factors contained in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 , filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission,, which describe various risks and uncertainties to which we are or may become subject. These risks and uncertainties have the potential to affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, strategies, or prospects in a material and adverse manner. At March 31, 2017 , there have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 .
ITEM 2.
UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer

On October 27, 2014, our board of directors approved a share repurchase program under which the Company may purchase up to $100 million of the Company’s common stock from time to time. The repurchase program does not have an expiration date. The specific timing, manner, price, amount and other terms of the repurchases is at management’s discretion and depends on market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements and other factors. The Company is not required to repurchase shares under the repurchase program, and may modify, suspend or terminate the repurchase program at any time for any reason. On April 8, 2016, our board of directors authorized utilizing up to $50 million to repurchase common stock. No shares were repurchased during the three months ended  March 31, 2017 and 2016. As of March 31, 2017 , we have purchased a cumulative 4.3 million shares of our common stock, for approximately $63.2 million , since the program’s inception on November 4, 2014.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, special purchases needed for future Advance Bookings which have been approved by Purchaser “in writing” and which relate to the period from and after Closing shall be the responsibility of Purchaser.
Purchaser shall not be obligated to collect any delinquent rents, accounts receivable or revenues accrued prior to the Closing Date for Seller, but if Purchaser collects same, such amounts shall be promptly remitted to Seller in the form received.
If accurate allocations cannot be made at Closing because current bills are not obtainable (as, for example, in the case of utility bills and/or real estate or personal property taxes), the parties shall allocate such revenue or expenses at Closing on the best available information, subject to adjustment upon receipt of the final bill or other evidence of the applicable revenue or expense. The obligation to make the adjustment shall survive the closing of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Any revenue received or expense incurred by Seller or Purchaser with respect to the Property after the date of Closing shall be promptly allocated in the manner described herein and the parties shall promptly pay or reimburse any amount due. The proration provisions of this

31

If all or any part of the Real Property is, or is to be, so condemned or sold, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.3 hereof. If Purchaser elects not to terminate this Agreement, all proceeds, awards and other payments arising out of such condemnation or sale (actual or threatened) shall be paid or assigned, as applicable, to Purchaser at Closing.

If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement by giving Seller written notice thereof prior to the Closing, the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser and all rights and obligations of Seller and Purchaser hereunder (except those set forth herein which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement) shall terminate immediately.

32
9695236v.8




transaction contemplated hereby actually closes, in accordance with a separate agreement between the Broker and Seller. There is no other real estate broker involved in this transaction. Purchaser warrants and represents to Seller that Purchaser has not dealt with any other real estate broker in connection with this transaction, nor has Purchaser been introduced to the Property or to Seller by any other real estate broker, and Purchaser shall indemnify Seller and hold Seller harmless from and against any claims, suits, demands or liabilities of any kind or nature whatsoever arising on account of the claim of any other person, firm or corporation to a real estate brokerage commission or a finder’s fee as a result of having dealt with Purchaser, or as a result of having introduced Purchaser to Seller or to the Property. In like manner, Seller warrants and represents to Purchaser that Seller has not dealt with any other real estate broker in connection with this transaction, nor has Seller been introduced to Purchaser by any other real estate broker, and Seller shall indemnify Purchaser and save and hold Purchaser harmless from and against any claims, suits, demands or liabilities of any kind or nature whatsoever arising on account of the claim of any person, firm or corporation to a real estate brokerage commission or a finder’s fee as a result of having dealt with Seller in connection with this transaction. This provision shall survive any termination of this Agreement and a closing of the transaction contemplated hereby.
8.4      Bulk Sale . It shall be the obligation of Seller to comply with any bulk sale requirements, statutes, laws, ordinances and regulations promulgated with respect thereto, if any, in the State in which the Property is located, or in or by any governmental entity having jurisdiction with respect thereto, and to provide proof of such compliance or proof that no such compliance is required, to Purchaser, at or prior to Closing. In any event, Seller shall indemnify Purchaser and save and hold Purchaser harmless from and against any claims, suits, demands, liabilities or obligations of any kind or nature whatsoever, including all costs of defending same, and reasonable attorneys’ fees paid or incurred in connection therewith, arising out of or relating to any claim made by any third party or any liability asserted by any third party that any applicable bulk sales law or like statute has not been complied with. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing of the transaction contemplated hereby.
8.5      Confidentiality . Except as hereinafter provided, from and after the execution of this Agreement, Purchaser and Seller shall keep the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement confidential and neither shall make any public announcements hereof unless the other first approves of same in writing, nor shall either disclose the terms, conditions and provisions hereof, except to persons who “need to know,” such as their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, accountants, engineers, surveyors, consultants, financiers, partners, investors, potential lessees and bankers and such other third parties whose assistance is required in connection with the consummation of this transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is acknowledged that Purchaser is, or is an affiliate of, a real estate investment trust (the “ REIT ”), and the REIT has and will seek to sell shares to the general public; consequently, Purchaser shall have the right to disclose any information regarding the transaction contemplated by this Agreement solely if disclosure is required by law or otherwise been determined to be necessary or appropriate by Purchaser or Purchaser’s attorneys to satisfy disclosure and reporting obligations of Purchaser or its affiliates. On or at any time following the Effective Date, Purchaser may make a press release and file with the United States Securities Exchange Commission information regarding the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Seller and Purchaser and their representatives are cautioned that United States securities

33
9695236v.8




laws restrict the purchase and sale of securities by anyone who possesses non-public information about the issue of such securities. Accordingly, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates nor its representatives may buy or sell any of the securities of the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates so long as any of them is in possession of any material non-public information about the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, including information contained in or derived from confidential information.
8.6      Seller’s Accounts Receivable . It is expressly agreed by and between Purchaser and Seller that Seller is not hereby agreeing to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser is not hereby agreeing to purchase from Seller, any of Seller’s accounts receivable. All of Seller’s accounts receivable shall be and remain the property of Seller, subsequent to the Closing of the transaction contemplated hereby. At the Closing, Seller shall prepare a list of its outstanding accounts receivable as of midnight on the date prior to the Closing, specifying the name of each account and the amount due to Seller. Purchaser shall hold any funds received by Purchaser explicitly designated as payment of such accounts receivable, in trust, if Purchaser actually collects any such amounts, and shall pay the monies collected in respect thereof to Seller at the end of each calendar month, accompanied by a statement showing the amount collected on each such account. Other than the foregoing, Purchaser shall have no obligation with respect to any such account, and Purchaser shall not be required to take any legal proceeding or action to effect collection on behalf of Seller. It is generally the intention of Purchaser and Seller that although all of Seller’s accounts receivable shall be and remain the property of Seller, still, if any such accounts are paid to Purchaser, then Purchaser shall collect same and remit to Seller in the manner above provided. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring Purchaser to remit to Seller any funds collected by Purchaser on account of Purchaser’s accounts receivable generated from Hotel operations, even if the person or entity paying same is also indebted to Seller. Other than eviction proceedings, Seller may bring any legal action to enforce collection of payment of any accounts receivable against any current tenant of the Property or other third party in a contractual or business relationship with the Property as of the Closing Date.
ARTICLE IX
LIABILITY OF PURCHASER; INDEMNIFICATION
BY SELLER; DEFAULT; TERMINATION RIGHTS
9.1      Liability of Purchaser .

The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing of the transaction contemplated hereby.
9.2      Indemnification by Seller . Subject to the Aggregate Liability (as limited by its definition) Seller hereby indemnifies and holds Purchaser harmless from and against any and all

34
9695236v.8




claims, costs, penalties, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that may at any time be incurred by Purchaser, whether before or after Closing, as a result of any inaccuracy or breach by Seller of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations set forth herein or in any other document delivered by Seller pursuant hereto except for any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty as to which Seller has given Purchaser written notice prior to Closing of the untruth or inaccuracy or of which Purchaser otherwise had actual knowledge prior to the Closing and nevertheless elected to consummate the Closing; provided, however, the foregoing knowledge limitation on Seller’s indemnity shall not limit Purchaser’s remedy described in Section 9.3(a)(ii) hereof. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing of the transaction contemplated hereby.
9.3      Default by Seller/Failure of Conditions Precedent . If any condition set forth herein for the benefit of Purchaser cannot or will not be satisfied prior to Closing, or upon the occurrence of any other event that would entitle Purchaser to terminate this Agreement and its obligations hereunder, and if Seller fails to cure any such matter or satisfy that condition within ten (10) business days after notice thereof from Purchaser (or such other time period as may be explicitly provided for herein), Purchaser, at its option, may elect (a) to terminate this Agreement, in which event (i) the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser, (ii) if the condition which has not been satisfied is a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant, then Seller shall be obligated upon demand to reimburse Purchaser for Purchaser’s actual out-of-pocket inspection, financing and other costs related to Purchaser’s entering into this Agreement, inspecting the Property and preparing for a Closing of the transaction contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, Purchaser’s attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement and in connection with Purchaser’s due diligence review, audits and preparation for a Closing; and (iii) all other rights and obligations of Seller and Purchaser hereunder (except those set forth herein which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement) shall terminate immediately; or (b) elect to proceed to Closing. If Purchaser elects to proceed to Closing and there is either a misrepresentation or breach of a warranty by Seller (other than a breach of a representation or warranty of which Purchaser had actual knowledge prior to the Closing and nevertheless elected to consummate the Closing) or the breach of a covenant by Seller or a failure by Seller to perform its obligations hereunder, Purchaser shall retain all remedies accruing as a result thereof, including, but not limited to the remedy of specific performance of Seller’s covenants and obligations and the remedy of the recovery of all reasonable damages resulting from Seller’s breach of warranty or covenant. Should Purchaser elect to terminate the transaction the total sum payable by Seller to Purchaser shall not exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) and shall be reasonably documented. If Purchaser elects to proceed to Closing, Purchaser shall automatically have released Seller from any further liability for any such known breach of warranty or representation.
9.4      Default by Purchaser/Failure of Conditions Precedent . If any condition set forth herein for the benefit of Seller (other than a default by Purchaser) cannot or will not be satisfied prior to Closing, and if Purchaser fails to satisfy that condition within ten (10) business days after notice thereof from Seller (or such other time period as may be explicitly provided for herein), Seller may, at its option, elect either (a) to terminate this Agreement in which event the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser and the parties hereto shall be released from all further obligations hereunder except those which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement, or

35
9695236v.8




(b) to waive its right to terminate, and instead, to proceed to Closing. If, prior to Closing, Purchaser defaults in performing any of its obligations under this Agreement (including its obligation to purchase the Property), and Purchaser fails to cure any such default within ten (10) business days after notice thereof from Seller, then Seller’s sole remedy for such default shall be to terminate this Agreement and retain the Deposit. Seller and Purchaser agree that, in the event of such a default, the damages that Seller would sustain as a result thereof would be difficult if not impossible to ascertain. Therefore, Seller and Purchaser agree that, Seller shall retain the Deposit as full and complete liquidated damages and as Seller’s sole remedy; provided, however, the indemnity obligations imposed on Purchaser under the provisions of Section 2.4(c) shall not be subject to such liquidated damages remedy.
LIQUIDATED DAMAGES . NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, IF THE SALE TO PURCHASER IS NOT CONSUMMATED AS A RESULT OF PURCHASER’S DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, SELLER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RETAIN THE DEPOSIT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR PURCHASER’S DEFAULT. THE PARTIES ALSO AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICABLE AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN THE ACTUAL DAMAGES SUFFERED BY SELLER AS A RESULT OF PURCHASER’S FAILURE TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT, UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING AS OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE, THE RETENTION OF THE DEPOSITS AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVIDED FOR IN THIS SECTION REPRESENTS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES WHICH SELLER WILL INCUR AS A RESULT OF SUCH FAILURE; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THIS PROVISION SHALL NOT LIMIT SELLER’S RIGHTS TO RECEIVE REIMBURSEMENT FOR ATTORNEYS’ FEES, NOR WAIVE OR AFFECT SELLER’S RIGHTS AND PURCHASER’S INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER OTHER SECTIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PAYMENT OF SUCH LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 3275 OR 3369, BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 1671, 1676, AND 1677. THE PARTIES HAVE SET FORTH THEIR INITIALS BELOW TO INDICATE THEIR AGREEMENT WITH THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVISION CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION.

SELLER: _______________________         PURCHASER: __________________
9.5      Costs and Attorneys’ Fees . In the event of any litigation or dispute between the parties arising out of or in any way connected with this Agreement, resulting in any litigation, then the prevailing party in such litigation shall be entitled to recover its costs of prosecuting and/or defending same, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees at trial and all appellate levels. The provisions of this Section 9.5 shall survive the Closing of the transaction contemplated hereby.

36
9695236v.8




9.6      Limitation of Liability . Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except in the case of fraud by either party, the liability of each party hereto resulting from the breach or default by either party shall be limited to actual damages incurred by the injured party (subject to the Aggregate Liability as limited by its definition) and except in the case of fraud by either party, the parties hereto hereby waive their rights to recover from the other party punitive, consequential, exemplary, and speculative damages. The provisions of this Section 9.6 shall survive the Closing of the transaction contemplated hereby.

Escrow Agent, in its capacity as escrow agent, shall be entitled to rely on any document or paper received by it, believed by such Escrow Agent, in good faith, to be bona fide and genuine.

Escrow Agent shall not be liable for Escrow Agent’s compliance with any legal process, subpoena, writ, order, judgment and decree of any court, whether issued with or without jurisdiction, and whether or not subsequently vacated, modified, set aside or reversed.

11.13      Further Assurances . Seller and Purchaser each covenant and agree to sign, execute and deliver, or cause to be signed, executed and delivered, and to do or make, or cause to be done or made, upon the written request of the other party, any and all agreements, instruments, papers, deeds, acts or things, supplemental, confirmatory or otherwise, as may be reasonably required by either party hereto for the purpose of or in connection with consummating the transactions described herein.

(a)      Singular words shall connote the plural number as well as the singular and vice versa, and the masculine shall include the feminine and the neuter.

9695236v.8




additional cost, and there is no delay to the close of escrow and Purchaser shall not have to take title to any property other than the Property. This cooperation applies as well to the members or affiliates of any such party.
11.19      Liquor Operations .
(a)      Change of Ownership Filings; Transfer of Liquor Licenses . Seller shall cause the holder of the liquor license for the Hotel (the “ Liquor Licensee ”), at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, to use all reasonable efforts to transfer the liquor licenses and the liquor inventory to Purchaser or its designee (in either case, a “ License Designee ”), as successor licensee, on or after the Closing Date. Purchaser and Seller shall jointly use good faith efforts to have the License Designee accept the transfer of the liquor licenses. If such liquor licenses have not been transferred to a License Designee effective as of the Closing Date, or a temporary permit (a “ Temporary Permit ”) to sell alcohol at the Hotel has not been issued to a License Designee as of the Closing Date, then on the Closing Date, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Seller shall cause the Liquor Licensee to enter into an interim management or lease arrangement with a License Designee (the “ Food and Beverage Management Agreement ”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "G" , whereby such Liquor Licensee shall operate for a mutually agreeable fee or rental rate the food and beverage facilities at the Hotel on behalf of Purchaser pending the transfer of the applicable liquor licenses to a License Designee or the issuance of a Temporary Permit.
(b)      Liquor Inventory Escrow . In connection with the transfer of the liquor licenses, on or before the Closing Date, Seller shall open an escrow account for the Hotel (the “ Liquor Inventory Escrow ”) with a mutually agreed escrow holder (“ Liquor Escrowee ”), separate from the Escrow, as required by applicable law for the transfer of the liquor license to a License Designee on the Closing Date or such later date as such transfer is approved by the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (“ CABC ”). The Liquor Inventory Escrow arrangements shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G , and include the following: (i) the deposit by Purchaser, on or before the Closing Date, of the purchase price for the liquor licenses in the amount of [$______] (the “ Liquor License Payment ”), and (ii) the deposit by Purchaser, on or before the Closing Date in the amount of [$______] (the “ Liquor Inventory Escrow Deposit ”). The Liquor License Payment and the Liquor Inventory Escrow Deposit shall be deposited by Purchaser in the Liquor Inventory Escrow on or before the Closing Date, and Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of the Liquor License Payment. Any and all funds remaining in the Liquor Inventory Escrow after the payment of claims by Liquor Licensee’s creditors, if any, shall be remitted to Seller by Liquor Escrowee upon the approval by the CABC of the transfer of the liquor licenses to a License Designee. The provisions of this Section 11.19 are a condition precedent for the benefit of Purchaser.
11.20      Holdback . At Closing, out of the Purchase Price paid by Purchaser, Escrow Agent shall retain in escrow the amount of the Liability Cap in immediately available U.S. federal funds (the “ Holdback Amount ”), which Holdback Amount shall be held by Escrow Agent in escrow for three hundred sixty-five (365) days after Closing pursuant to an escrow agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I , and shall be available to satisfy any post-Closing liabilities of Seller under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any surviving indemnity obligations of Seller

41

Seller shall have ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Disbursement Request to object to the disbursement of the Claim Amount requested by Buyer by submitting a notice of objection (the “Objection Notice”) to Buyer and Escrow Agent, which objection shall be solely on the grounds that Seller disagrees, in good faith, with Buyer’s entitlement to or calculations of the Claim Amount set forth in the applicable Disbursement Request. If Seller delivers the Objection Notice within such ten (10) Business Day period, then Section 2.3.4 hereof shall apply with respect to Escrow Agent’s disbursement of the Claim Amount. If Seller does not deliver the Objection Notice to Buyer and Escrow Agent within such ten (10) Business Day period, then Escrow Agent shall disburse the Claim Amount to Buyer in accordance with the Disbursement Request within three (3) Business Days following the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day period. Buyer shall have the right to deliver multiple Disbursement Requests and receive multiple disbursements from the Escrow Funds but shall only submit one Disbursement Request for each Claim.
2.3.2    Notwithstanding any provision of Section 0  above to the contrary, if Buyer and Seller jointly submit a Disbursement Request with regard to all or any portion of the Escrow Funds, Escrow Agent shall disburse the requested amounts from the Holdback Escrow within three (3) Business Days following its receipt of the joint Disbursement Request pursuant to the directions set forth therein.
2.3.3    If there is remaining balance of the Escrow Funds on ______________, 20__ (the “Release Date”) then, to the extent such remaining balance is not subject to an unresolved Disbursement Request, such undisputed portion shall be remitted to Seller. The Claim Amount(s) subject to an unresolved Disbursement Request shall be retained in the Holdback Escrow by Escrow Agent until, with respect to each Claim Amount, (i) the expiration of the ten (10) Business Day period provided in Section 0  above with respect to a specific Disbursement Request, if no Objection Notice is delivered by Seller to Escrow Agent within such ten (10)  Business Day period with respect to such Disbursement Request; (ii) Seller and Buyer resolve any dispute with respect to any

Exhibit I – Page 2
9695236v.8




Objection Notice which has been timely provided by Seller and jointly submit a Disbursement Request to Escrow Agent; or (iii) Escrow Agent has brought an interpleader action with respect to such Claim as set forth below.
2.3.4    In the event Escrow Agent receives an Objection Notice within the ten (10) Business Day period noted in Section 2.3.1 , Escrow Agent may, at its option, (a) continue to hold the Claim Amount subject to the Disbursement Request until such time as Seller and Buyer resolve their dispute and issue joint written instructions relative to disbursement of the Claim Amount, or (b) if such dispute has not been resolved within ninety (90) days after Escrow Agent’s receipt of the subject Disbursement Request, bring a suit in interpleader in a court of competent jurisdiction naming the parties to this Escrow Agreement and any other parties as may be appropriate in the opinion of Escrow Agent. Upon filing of said suit and placing of the Claim Amount subject to the Disbursement Request in the registry of the court, Escrow Agent shall have the right to withdraw from said suit and all obligations of Escrow Agent with respect to, but only with respect to, such Claim Amount shall cease and terminate.
2.3.5    This Escrow Agreement shall terminate upon the disbursement by Escrow Agent of all of the Escrow Funds in accordance with this Escrow Agreement and Escrow Agent shall thereupon be discharged.

EXHIBIT 3.6
CARVE OUTS TO REPRESENTATIONS

During 2016 the Town of Yountville determined that Seller had violated one of its conditions of approval by allowing Hotel guests to utilize, on a shared basis, the fitness room in the Hopper Creek Apartments. Subsequently, the Town approved the construction of a new Fitness Center on the Hotel property and Seller is in process of constructing such facility and shall bear the expense of such construction.
Recently, the Town of Yountville delivered to Seller a notice of an intended “Audit’ of Seller’s compliance with its Use Permit Conditions of Approval as part of a standard Town-wide compliance Audit. No such Audit has yet occurred so Seller has no knowledge of any potential compliance issues other than the need to update its Management Parking information.
Seller has received approval to open up its spa, restaurant, and bar to the public. Such approval requires the construction of a new parking lot on Town-owned land on Washington Street. An agreement with the Town regarding that construction has been negotiated, but not yet executed pending Seller’s determination of the costs of the construction of such parking lot.

If Seller has provided a Seller Response Notice to Buyer by the date which is three (3) days prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period stating that Seller will not remove, release or otherwise correct such disapproved exceptions or if Seller has not provided a Seller Response Notice to Buyer prior to the date which is three (3) days prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (which shall be deemed an election by Seller not to take any action with respect to such items), then Buyer may elect in writing not later than the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, either to waive Buyer’s objection to such disapproved exceptions or to terminate this Agreement. If Buyer shall fail to make such election, then Buyer shall be deemed to have waived its objections to such disapproved exceptions. In the event Buyer shall elect in writing to terminate this Agreement, the Deposit (less the Independent Consideration) shall be promptly delivered by the Escrow Agent to Buyer, and the parties shall have no further obligations or liabilities hereunder (except for any obligations or liabilities that expressly survive termination of this Agreement).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved any Other Liens, provided Seller procures (at Seller’s sole cost and expense) prior to the Closing a written commitment from the Title Company to issue the Owner’s Policy, or an endorsement thereto, insuring Buyer against any such Other Liens; provided, however, Seller shall not be obligated to pay or expend more than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) to cure, insure over or release Other Liens.
4.3    It is understood that Buyer may request a number of endorsements to or extended coverage for the Owner’s Policy. Buyer shall satisfy itself prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period that the Title Company will be willing to issue such endorsements or extended coverage in connection with the Owner’s Policy, and, accordingly, in no event shall the issuance of such endorsements or extended coverage to the Owner’s Policy constitute a condition to Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement.
4.4    As used herein: “ Permitted Exceptions ” means the following: (1) the lien of any real estate taxes and assessments for the year 2017, and subsequent periods, a lien not yet due and payable provided that the same are prorated in accordance with this Agreement; (2) such other matters set forth in the Title Commitment which are approved or deemed approved, pursuant to the terms hereof, by Buyer during the Due Diligence Period (in any event to include the exceptions listed in Exhibit “D” ) and any matter shown on the Condominium Plat; (3) any New Matter (as hereinafter defined) which has been approved, or deemed approved by Buyer, pursuant to Section 4.5 below; (4) the printed exceptions which appear in the standard 2006 ALTA form of owner’s title insurance policy; and (5) all building, signage and zoning ordinances, laws, regulations and restrictions by or of municipal and other governmental authorities.

This provision shall survive the Closing.
4.5    If an additional exception to title (“ New Matter ”) affecting the Property is first disclosed to Buyer after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved any such New Matter within five (5) days of Buyer’s discovery of such New Matter unless Buyer delivers to Seller within such time written notice of its objection thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any New Matter that is the result of the activities of Buyer, or that does not adversely impact the marketability of title to the Property, shall be deemed approved by Buyer, and Buyer shall have no right to object to such New Matter. Seller may elect to use reasonable efforts to remove or cause the Title Company to bond, insure or endorse over such New Matter within thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of notice from Buyer with respect to the New Matter (and the Closing Date shall be extended to accommodate such cure period). In the event that within such thirty (30) day period Seller (1) does not elect to remove or cause the Title Company to bond, insure or endorse over such New Matter, or (2) elects but fails to remove or cause the Title Company to bond, insure or endorse over such New Matter, then upon the expiration of such period, Buyer, as its sole and exclusive remedy hereunder for such failure, shall elect in writing either (a) to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, in which case the Deposit (less the Independent Consideration) shall be returned to Buyer, this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further

force or effect and the parties hereto shall have no further obligations to the other (except for any obligations or liabilities that expressly survive termination of this Agreement), or (b) to waive the foregoing right of termination and all other rights and remedies on account of such New Matter and to close the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, without any reduction or abatement of the Purchase Price. If Buyer shall fail to make such election, then Buyer shall be deemed to have waived its objections to such disapproved New Matter.
4.6    Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall convey the Units to Buyer through the form of special warranty deed (or its equivalent) attached hereto as Exhibit “C” (the “ Deed ”), which will convey the portion of the Property described therein to Buyer subject to the Permitted Exceptions.
5.      Conditions Precedent . The obligation of Buyer to purchase, and Seller to sell, the Property as contemplated by this Agreement is subject to satisfaction of each of the following respective conditions precedent (any of which may be waived in writing by the party in whose favor such condition exists) on or before the applicable date specified for satisfaction of the applicable condition. If any of such conditions is not fulfilled (or so waived) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, then, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the party in whose favor such condition exists may elect not to proceed with this Agreement and, in connection with any such election made in accordance with this Section 5, Seller and Buyer shall be released from further obligation or liability hereunder (except for those obligations and liabilities which, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, survive such termination [and without releasing any party for a breach or default occurring prior to such termination]), and the Deposit shall be disposed of in accordance with Section 10.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a material change of circumstances not otherwise contemplated by this Agreement and which was not caused by Seller’s intentional breach of any of its obligations hereunder occurs on or prior to the Closing Date which causes any of Seller’s representations or warranties set forth in Section 8.1 (or elsewhere in this Agreement) to become untrue or in the event of an unintentional breach or unintentional default by Seller which causes any of Seller’s covenants to be in breach, in any event, such that the failure or failures of all such

3721766.8     
-11 -
Gardere01 - 10003657v.4


representations and warranties to be so true and correct or such covenants to be in breach would have a material adverse effect on the Property or the purchase and sale agreement contemplated by this Agreement (a “ Change of Circumstances ”), and, in either case, in the event that Buyer is not willing to waive its objection thereto, Seller shall have a period of thirty (30) days from the date of the discovery by Seller of such Change of Circumstances to cure such untrue fact, condition or covenant (and the Closing Date shall be extended to accommodate such cure period). If Seller does not cure such Change of Circumstances within such thirty (30) day period, Buyer shall have the right, as Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy hereunder for such failure, either (a) to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, in which case, this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect and the parties hereto shall have no further obligations to the other and the Deposit (less the Independent Consideration) shall be refunded to Buyer, or (b) to waive the foregoing right of termination and all other rights and remedies on account of such breach or default and to close the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.3 to the contrary, the foregoing procedure with respect to a Change of Circumstances shall not be applicable to the intentional breach by Seller of any of its obligations hereunder, it being understood that the remedy for such a breach by Seller shall be in accordance with Section 10.1 hereof and (ii) in no event shall Buyer have the right to terminate this Agreement if any of Seller’s representations and warranties become untrue or Seller cannot perform a covenant and any such matter does not have a material adverse effect on the Property or the purchase and sale contemplated by this Agreement.
5.4     Performance by Buyer . The performance and observance, in all material respects, by Buyer of all material covenants and agreements of this Agreement to be performed or observed by Buyer prior to or on the Closing Date under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the payment of the Purchase Price to Seller, shall be a condition precedent to Seller’s obligation to sell the Property.

In no event shall failure to satisfy the conditions contained in Section 5.5 or 5.6 constitute a default of Seller under this Agreement. If either Buyer or Seller has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 5, then the party exercising its termination rights hereunder shall notify in writing the other party and Escrow Agent of such election (a “ Section 5 Termination Notice ”) prior to the Closing Date (or prior to the earlier date which may be required for such termination under the terms of this Agreement), and the specific condition or conditions giving rise to such election.

Seller shall receive a credit for Seller’s share of such expenses paid by Seller prior to the Closing, to the extent allocable to expenses that will be incurred on or after the Closing Date. To the extent that the amount of actual consumption of any utility services is not determined prior to the Closing Date, as provided in Section 6.4.13 below, a proration shall be made at Closing based on the last available reading and post-closing adjustments between Buyer and Seller shall be made within twenty (20) days of the date that actual consumption for such pre-Closing period is determined, which obligation shall survive the Closing and not be merged therein. Any tour agents’ and travel agents’ commissions shall be prorated as of the Closing Date.
6.4.12     Indemnification . In any case in which Buyer receives a credit at Closing on account of any obligation of Seller hereunder, Seller shall have no further liability for such obligation to the extent of the credit so given, and Buyer shall pay and discharge the same up to the amount of the credit. Buyer and Seller shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold the other party harmless from and against any claim arising from the non-payment of any of the items for which the indemnifying party receives a credit, but only to the extent of the amount of such credit, or otherwise assumes or retains responsibility for payment pursuant to this Section 6.4, plus penalties, fines, fees, interest and other charges thereon or related thereto imposed by third parties or by law in connection with such non-payment.
6.4.13     Items for Which There Will Not be a Proration . Seller and Buyer agree that (a) other than pursuant to Section 7, none of the insurance policies relating to the Property will be assigned to Buyer, and Buyer shall be responsible for arranging for its own insurance as of the Closing Date; and (b) utilities, including telephone, electricity, water and gas, shall be read on the Closing Date and Buyer shall be responsible for all the necessary actions needed to arrange for utilities to be transferred to the name of Buyer beginning 12:01 A.M. Mountain time on the Closing Date, including the posting of any required deposits. Accordingly, there will be no prorations for insurance or utilities (unless, with respect to a

-20 -
Gardere01 - 10003657v.4


particular utility, (i) a meter reading is unavailable, in which case such utility shall be prorated in the manner provided in Section 6.4.11 above; or (ii) the Title Company reasonably requires it), and Seller shall be entitled to any refund in connection with termination of Seller’s existing insurance policies. To the extent reasonably possible, Buyer and Seller shall cooperate to arrange for utility and other service providers to separately bill each party for their respective periods of ownership, in which event no credit and no proration will be necessary. Seller shall be entitled to receive and be returned any deposits Seller may have with any utility companies, or will receive a credit at Closing from Buyer to the extent such deposits remain for the benefit of Buyer from and after Closing.
6.4.14     Closing Statement; Post-Closing Adjustments . The prorations and credits hereunder at the Closing shall be made based on a closing statement (the “ Closing Statement ”) to be prepared by Seller prior to the Closing, based on actual figures to the extent available. If any of the prorations cannot be calculated based on actual figures, then they shall be calculated based on the Seller’s good faith estimates thereof. Within ninety (90) days after the Closing, Buyer shall prepare and submit to Seller a recalculation of the prorations and credits hereunder, reflecting actual figures and not estimates (other than with respect to those expenses for which a final bill has not been received). With respect to those prorations and credits which are not determinable as of such 90-day period, the parties shall recalculate such prorations and credits thirty (30) days prior to the Survival Period, except for real estate taxes, which shall be subject to proration for a period of one (1) year after the Closing Date. Such recalculation shall be binding on Buyer and Seller unless Seller delivers to Buyer, within ten (10) days after Seller has received such recalculation, a notice (“ Audit Notice ”) stating Seller does not agree with such calculations, and, if such notice is given, KPMG, LLP (the “ Accounting Firm ”) shall be engaged to make the final determination of such prorations and credits. The fees and costs of the Accounting Firm in making such determination shall be split equally between the parties. Each of Seller and Buyer shall cooperate in good faith and act reasonably after Closing to assist Manager and Accounting Firm in their determinations.
6.4.15     Survival of Section 6.4 . The obligations and rights of the parties under this Section 6.4 shall survive the Closing.
7.      Condemnation or Destruction of Property . In the event that, after the date hereof but prior to the Closing Date, either any portion of the Property is taken pursuant to eminent domain proceedings, or any of the improvements on the Property are damaged or destroyed by any casualty, Seller shall not have any obligation to repair or replace any such damage or destruction, but Seller shall be required to give Buyer written notice of the same within five (5) business days after Seller learns of such casualty or condemnation. Seller shall also deliver and assign to Buyer, upon consummation of the transaction herein provided (except to the extent any condemnation proceeds or insurance proceeds are attributable to lost rents or revenues or other items applicable to any period prior to the Closing), and subject to the requirements of the Condominium Declaration, all claims of Seller respecting any condemnation or casualty insurance coverage, as applicable, and all condemnation proceeds, or proceeds from any such casualty insurance received by Seller on account of any casualty (except to the extent required for collection costs or repairs by Seller prior to the Closing Date), as applicable. There shall be no reduction of the Purchase Price on account of any casualty or condemnation (except that in connection with a casualty covered by insurance, Buyer shall be credited with the lesser of the remaining cost to repair the damage or destruction caused by such casualty or the amount of the deductible under Seller’s casualty insurance policy [except to the

3721766.8     
-21 -
Gardere01 - 10003657v.4


extent such deductible was expended by Seller to repair the resulting damage]). In the event the condemnation award or the cost of repair of damage to the Property on account of a casualty, as applicable, shall exceed five percent (5%) of the Purchase Price (or if a casualty is uninsured and Seller does not elect to credit Buyer with an amount equal to the cost to repair such uninsured casualty, Seller having the right, but not the obligation, to do so), either Buyer or Seller may, at its option terminate this Agreement by notice to the other party, given on or before the sooner to occur of the Closing Date or five (5) business days after Seller learns of such casualty or condemnation, in which event the Deposit (less the Independent Consideration) shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any further obligation hereunder except for those obligations which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement.

The representations, warranties and covenants of Seller under this Agreement, and in any certificate or document delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith, shall survive the Closing for a period of nine (9) months from the Closing Date (such period, the “ Survival Period ”).

Buyer shall allow Seller sixty (60) days after Buyer’s notice within which to cure such breach or if such breach cannot be cured within such sixty (60) day period, and Seller notifies Buyer it wishes to extend its cure period (the “ Cure Extension Notice ”), such additional reasonable period of time (not to exceed an additional sixty (60) days) as is required to cure the same so long as such cure has been commenced within such sixty (60) day period and is being diligently pursued to completion. If Seller fails to cure such breach after written notice thereof, Buyer’s sole remedy shall be to commence a legal proceeding against Seller alleging that Seller has breached such representation, warranty or covenant and that Buyer has suffered actual damages as a result thereof (a “ Proceeding ”), which Proceeding must be commenced, if at all, within sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Survival Period, provided, however, that if Buyer gives Seller written notice of such a breach within the Survival Period, and Seller subsequently sends a Cure Extension Notice, then Buyer shall have until the date which is thirty (30) days after the date Seller notifies Buyer it has ceased endeavoring to cure such breach, to commence such Proceeding. If Buyer shall have timely delivered the written notice and commenced a Proceeding in accordance with this Section 8.3, and a court of competent jurisdiction shall, pursuant to a final, non-appealable order in connection with such Proceeding, determine that (1) Seller was in breach of the applicable representation or warranty as of the Effective Date or the Closing Date, as the case may be, and (2) Buyer suffered actual damages (the “ Damages ”) by reason of such breach, (3) Buyer did not have actual knowledge of such breach on or prior to the Closing Date, and (4) Buyer would not have learned of such breach through the exercise of reasonable diligence prior to the Closing Date, then Buyer shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to the Damages, subject, in any event, to the limitations set forth in Section 8.5. Any such Damages, subject to the limitations contained herein, shall be paid within thirty (30) days following the entry of such final, non-appealable order and delivery of a copy thereof to Seller. The representations, warranties and covenants of Buyer under this Agreement, and in any certificate or document delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith, shall survive the Closing indefinitely. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (i) the matters under Section 6.4 of this Agreement shall not be subject to the Survival Period and shall survive the Closing for the periods provided in Section 6.4 and (ii) insured claims against Seller or Manager for matters accruing or arising prior to the Closing Date shall survive Closing without limitation.

The Holdback Deposit shall be released or retained in accordance with the Post-Closing Escrow Agreement. Upon the expiration of the Survival Period all Seller’s representations and warranties shall cease to have any effect unless written notice of a claim has been previously given (in which case, such claim shall survive until fully and finally resolved).
8.4     Knowledge as a Defense . Seller shall have no liability with respect to a breach of the representations and warranties of Seller under this Agreement to the extent that Buyer proceeds with the closing of the transaction contemplated hereby with actual knowledge of such breach prior to the Closing Date.

Seller will (a) engage the Auditor (at Buyer’s request to expedite the engagement process and at Buyer’s cost), (b) reasonably cooperate with the Auditor, and (c) provide the Auditor with such information regarding the GAAP Financials as the Auditor may reasonably request, so that the Auditor may complete an audit of the GAAP Financials for calendar years 2015 and 2016 and a review for the period in 2017 through any full completed Seller fiscal quarter. The parties intend that Buyer’s audit will be completed on or before June 1, 2017 and the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist in such process. Seller shall also provide the Auditor with a signed representation letter in a form acceptable to Seller. Seller shall authorize any attorneys who have represented Seller or its management company in material litigation pertaining to or affecting the Property to respond, at Buyers expense, to inquiries from the Auditor.

The Buyer will deliver to Seller the PPA no later than March 27, 2017 so that Seller and GAAP Preparer may prepare and record Seller’s acquisition transaction for GAAP purposes and produce a set of GAAP Financials for said periods for audit and review by Auditor.

______, 2017

Re:
Park Hyatt Beaver Creek
Your Escrow No. _____________________
 
 
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Please refer to that certain agreement captioned “SALE AND PURCHASE AGREEMENT” (as amended from time to time, the “ Purchase Agreement ”), dated as of March 9, 2017, by and between WTCC BEAVER CREEK INVESTORS V, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“ Seller ”), and ____________________ (“ Buyer ”). Except as otherwise indicated, each capitalized term used herein shall have the meaning set forth for the same in the Purchase Agreement.
This agreement (this “ Agreement ”) will constitute your instructions with respect to the escrow (the “ Escrow ”) of Three Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 United States Dollars ($3,750,000.00) (together with any interest accrued thereon, the “ Holdback Funds ”) being delivered to you concurrently herewith pursuant to Section 8.3.2 of the Purchase Agreement as security for any loss or damage incurred by Buyer as a result of the breach by Seller of any covenant, indemnity, representation or warranty of Seller under the Purchase Agreement (collectively, “ Buyer Damages ”) in connection with any Claim (as defined in Section 1.3.1 below) made by Buyer during the Survival Period.
I. ESCROW
1.1     Background . Section 8.3 of the Purchase Agreement requires that the Escrow be established by Buyer and Seller at Closing with a portion of Seller’s proceeds from the Purchase Price equal to the Holdback Funds. The Holdback Funds are to be held to provide for timely payment of certain post-closing claims made by Buyer against Seller in connection with a breach of Seller’s covenants, indemnities, representations and warranties of Seller under the Purchase Agreement (such obligations being herein called the “ Subject Obligations ”).
1.2     Delivery of Funds to be Escrowed . You have been instructed to deposit at Closing a portion of Seller’s proceeds from the Purchase Price equal to the Holdback Funds into a separate account in order to fund the Escrow. The balance of such Holdback Funds held by you from time to time is herein called the “ Escrow Balance .” No disbursement of the Escrow Balance shall be made to Buyer or Seller or any other person except in accordance with this Agreement.

3721766.8      EXHIBIT R



1.3     Disbursements of the Holdback Funds .
1.3.1    In the event that Buyer determines, during the Survival Period, that it has incurred Buyer Damages for an aggregate amount in excess of One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000.00) (the “ Deductible ”), then Buyer shall notify Seller and Escrow Agent in writing of such allegation, including reasonable supporting documentation evidencing such Buyer Damages (a “ Claim Notice ”) and the alleged amount of Buyer Damages associated with such Claim Notice (the “ Claim ”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Deductible shall not be applicable to any Claims under Section 6.4 of the Agreement or insured claims against Seller or Manager for matters accruing and arising prior to the Closing Date.
1.3.2    Within five (5) business days after receipt of a Claim Notice, Seller shall either: (i) agree in writing to permit the disbursement of the amount of such alleged Buyer Damages by Escrow Agent; or (ii) inform Escrow Agent and Buyer in writing that Seller does not agree to permit such disbursement. If Seller fails to respond during the foregoing five (5) business day period, the same shall be deemed to be the response of Seller under clause (i) of the previous sentence. If Seller agrees in writing to permit the requested distribution to Buyer pursuant to clause (i) or fails to timely respond, then Escrow Agent shall promptly make the disbursement as requested by Buyer and approved or deemed to be approved by Seller. If Seller acts under clause (ii), then Escrow Agent shall thereafter:
(a)    act solely in accordance with any of the following:
(i)    a joint written agreement of Seller and Buyer regarding the disbursement or non-disbursement of Holdback Funds incident to the Claim Notice at issue; or
(ii)    a judgment that is final beyond appeals of a court of competent jurisdiction (as provided in the Purchase Agreement); or
(b)    upon not less than ten (10) business days’ written notice to Buyer and Seller, deposit the Escrow Balance with a court of competent jurisdiction and commence an action for interpleader therein for determination of the amount of the Buyer Damages and distribution of the Escrow Balance. Seller acknowledges and agrees that, should Buyer make a claim for Buyer Damages within the Survival Period, and, if Seller objects to or seeks to prevent the interpleading of the alleged amount of Buyer Damages, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, or the Purchase Agreement, (i) Escrow Agent shall continue to hold that portion of the Holdback Funds equal to the alleged Buyer Damages until the parties agree to its disposition or until the amount is interplead, and (ii) Seller shall continue to remain in existence until such interpleader action has been concluded, including any and all available appeals in connection with the litigation between the parties or the interpleader action.

3721766.8      EXHIBIT R



The final determination of the court, including any and all available appeals, in connection with the litigation between the parties or the interpleader action shall be conclusive as to both the amount of Buyer Damages and the related Claim.
1.3.3    On the first business day after the Survival Period (the “ Release Date ”), you are hereby authorized and directed to transfer to Seller, in accordance with the wiring instructions set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof, the Release Amount.

1. Required Estoppels .

a.     The following Section 5.7 is hereby added immediately after Section 5.6 of the Agreement and the existing Section 5.7 is hereby renumbered to Section 5.8:

“5.7     Condominium Estoppels and Operating Agreement Estoppel . As a condition to Buyer’s obligation to close, Seller shall provide to Buyer estoppel certificates from the Beaver Creek Hotel A Condominium Association, a Colorado non-profit corporation, the Village Hall Condominium Association, a Colorado non-profit corporation and The Vail Corporation, d/b/a Vail Associates, Inc. (i) in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibits W , X , and Y , respectively, with all blanks filled in and all exhibits attached, (ii) in the form required to be delivered by the estopping party under the applicable document, or (iii) in another form reasonably acceptable to Buyer. Buyer will not unreasonably withheld, condition, or delay its approval of any reasonable or immaterial revisions requested by the party executing the applicable estoppel, including, without limitation, the removal of lender specific information. This condition shall be deemed satisfied, as to each of parties named in this Section 5.7 upon Seller’s delivery of the required estoppel certificate from each of the named parties.”

b.      Section 5.8, as renumbered in accordance with Section 1.a above, is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“5.8     Consequence of Failure of a Closing Condition . If Seller has not satisfied the contingencies contained in Section 5.5, 5.6, and 5.7 by the

1



time of Closing, Seller shall have the right, by delivering written notice to Buyer prior to 3:00 p.m. on the Closing Date to extend the Closing Date for up to ten (10) business days in order to satisfy such conditions to Closing. In no event shall failure to satisfy the conditions contained in Section 5.5, 5.6, or 5.7 constitute a default of Seller under this Agreement. If either Buyer or Seller has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 5, then the party exercising its termination rights hereunder shall notify in writing the other party and Escrow Agent of such election (a “ Section 5 Termination Notice ”) on or before to the Closing Date (or prior to the earlier date which may be required for such termination under the terms of this Agreement), and the specific condition or conditions giving rise to such election. If either party shall deliver a Section 5 Termination Notice, and such notice is accompanied by a demand that Escrow Agent deliver the Deposit to such party, Escrow Agent shall promptly request from the non-requesting party written confirmation that release of the Deposit to the requesting party is acceptable and upon receipt of such written confirmation (or if no written confirmation or objection is received within ten (10) business days of Escrow Agent’s request therefor), Escrow Agent shall deliver the Deposit, less the Independent Consideration which shall be paid to Seller in all cases, to the requesting party as demanded. If the non-requesting party raises an objection to release of the Deposit, the procedures set forth in the Deposit Escrow Agreement shall govern Escrow Agent’s obligation to release the Deposit hereunder.”

c.      Exhibits W , X , and Y attached hereto are hereby added to, and incorporated into, the Agreement.

2. No Due Diligence Period . The parties agree that the Due Diligence Period has expired and Buyer has not delivered a Buyer’s Termination Notice. Buyer shall deposit the Additional Deposit with the Escrow Agent within two (2) business days after the date of this First Amendment. In addition, Section 3.1.8 of the Agreement (and Exhibits “ S-1 ” and “ S-2 ” associated therewith) is hereby deleted in its entirety and is of no further force or effect.

3. Closing Date . Notwithstanding anything in the Contract to the contrary, the “ Closing Date ” shall mean Friday, March 31, 2017; provided, however, the Closing shall be effective as of 12:01 A.M. Mountain Time on April 1, 2017 for all purposes under the Contract, including, without limitation the allocation of income and expenses from the Property between Seller and Buyer in accordance with Section 6.4 of the Contract and the date set forth in all of Seller’s and Buyer’s deliveries pursuant to Section 6.2.1 and 6.2.2, respectively.

4. No Other Amendments . The parties acknowledge and agree that, except as amended by this First Amendment, the Agreement remains in full force and effect. To the extent that there is any inconsistency between the terms of this First Amendment and the Agreement, the terms of this First Amendment shall prevail.

5. Counterparts . To facilitate execution, this First Amendment may be executed in as many counterparts as may be required. It shall not be necessary that the signature on behalf of both parties hereto appear on each counterpart hereof. All counterparts hereof shall collectively constitute a single agreement. Facsimile signatures and/or electronically scanned (.pdf) and emailed signatures shall have the same valid and binding effect as original signatures.

6. Governing Law . This First Amendment and all documents referred to herein shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the stated in which the Property is located without regard to its principles of conflicts of law.
