GREENSPAN IN SUPPORT OF MIDLAND LOAN SERVICES, INC.'S OBJECTION OF MIDLAND LOAN SERVICES, INC. TO DEBTORS' MOTION FOR AN ORDER (A) AUTHORIZING THE DEBTORS TO ASSUME THE PLAN SUPPORT AGREEMENT AND (B) GRANTING RELATED RELIEF I, Ronald F. Greenspan, declare as follows: 1. I am a Senior Managing Director in the Corporate Finance and Restructuring practice of FTI Consulting ("FTI"). I lead our national Real Estate Restructuring Group. The FTI Corporate Finance and Restructuring practice is the largest consulting practice in the United States that deals predominantly with workouts, turnarounds, and bankruptcy reorganizations and I believe our Real Estate Group is the preeminent such practice in the country. In my 19 year career with FTI and its predecessor, PricewaterhouseCoopers, and my prior professional career in the real estate and real estate fmance industries, I have had and continue to have extensive and diversified experience in real estate matters including residential, commercial, industrial, and DECLARATION OF RONALD F. GREENSPAN d-1885639 Page 1 of26 hospitality properties in various stages of development ranging from raw land to operating properties. Such experience specifically includes engagements involving hundreds of hotels, ranging from budget accommodations to five star resorts. 2. I received my Juris Doctor degree from Harvard Law School and a B.A. m Economics from the University of California, Los Angeles. I am a Certified Insolvency and Restructuring Advisor, a Fellow ofthe American College of Bankruptcy and hold a Certificate in Distressed Business Valuation conferred by the AIRA. I am a member of a number of insolvency and real estate related organizations, including the American Bankruptcy Institute, the Urban Land Institute and the Association of Insolvency and Restructuring Advisors. I also am a past-president and serve on the board of directors of the Los Angeles Bankruptcy Forum, the largest organization of restructuring professionals in the Western United States. 3. Prior to the sale of our practice to Ffi in 2002, I was a partner with PricewaterhouseCoopers. Prior to that, I held senior management positions as the chief operating officer of Los Angeles Land Companies, the executive vice president of Brookside Savings & Loan Association and the executive vice president of The Heritage Group, a nationwide real estate investment and management company. 4. On May 1, 2010, Ffi was engaged as the fmancial advisor to Midland Loan Services, Inc., special servicer for the Fixed Rate Trustee ("Midland"), in connection with a loan secured by a portfolio of 45 hotels owned by affiliates of Innkeepers USA. I lead FTI' s engagement team for this matter. 5. Attached hereto as Exhibit A is a list of articles I have authored during the prior 10 years; attached hereto as Exhibit B is a list of matters in which I have provided trial and/or DECLARATION OF RONALD F. GREENSPAN d-1885639 Page 2 of26 deposition testimony (including all matters during the prior 4 years). Ffi is being compensated at the rate of$150,000 per month, subject to adjustment depending upon circumstances. 6. I am familiar with the capital structure of the Debtors in these cases. Midland is owed more than $825 Million, which is more than the total amount owed to all of the other creditors combined. The secured lenders in these cases each have separate collateral pools and separate obligors such that no pre-petition indebtedness is owed to any lender outside of that lender's respective collateral pool and no hotel secures multiple debts. A chart that reflects the secured indebtedness by collateral pool owed by the property owning Debtors is attached as Exhibit C. 7. I am familiar with the organizational structure and the assets and liabilities of the Debtors in these cases. The Debtors own a total of 72 hotels,-with each property-owning Debtor owning just one hotel. Forty-five of the Debtors own hotels which secure debt to Midland (the "Midland Debtors"). Other Debtors own 27 hotels which serve as collateral for different lenders in other collateral pools---20 of those hotels are pledged to secure the Lehman debt and the other 7 hotels secure debt to three different lenders. More hotels secure Midland's loans than secure all of the Debtors' other secured Lenders combined and, according to a presentation by the Debtors' investment banker, the 2009 EBITDA produced by the Midland hotels accounts for approximately 63% of the entire Innkeeper's EBITDA (in contrast, the EBITDA from the Lehman pool is just 21% of the total 2009 EBITDA and the EBITDA from the remaining 7 properties, encumbered with debt to three different lenders, is 16% of the 2009 EBITDA). A diagram illustrating the organizational structure of the Debtors including their real estate assets and secured liabilities is incorporated in Paragraph 12(a)(ii), infra. DECLARATION OF RONALD F. GREENSPAN d-1885639 Page 3 of26 8. The Amended Declaration of Dennis Craven filed in support of first day pleadings includes information regarding the operations of the Debtors. It describes the Debtors as having 26 employees while Island Hospitality Management, Inc. ("Island"), the hotel manager for the hotels in each of the collateral pools, employs 100 times more people, about 2,600, to actually manage and operate all of the hotels in these cases. Distilled to its essence, the Debtors' operations are nothing more than 26 employees who oversee a third-party hotel management company, supervise the (non)performance of long-overdue PIPs, and prepare fmancial and tax reporting based on statements prepared by the management company---this is what constitutes "their enterprise". 9. In connection with their first day filings, the Debtors filed their Motion for an Order (A) Authorizing the Debtors to Assume the Plan Support Agreement and (B) Granting Related Relief (the "Lock-Up Motion"). Through the Lock-Up Motion, the Debtors seek Court authorization to enter into a Lock-Up (the "Lock-Up") with respect to a plan with Lehman ALI Inc. ("Lehman"), which is the culmination of a series of integrated transactions among the Debtors, Lehman and Apollo Investment Corporation ("AIC"), the Debtors' out of the money equity holder. 1 Under the term sheet detailing the proposed plan of reorganization contemplated under the Lock-Up (the "Lehman/ Apollo Plan"), the Debtors propose that Midland shall receive a cramdown note in a face value not to exceed $550 Million, which would equate to at least a $275 Million haircut for Midland. On the other hand, Lehman would receive 100% of the new equity issued by the Debtors on account of its $220 Million claim and, pursuant to a side 1 Per the proposed Plan, the principal owed to every one of the Debtors' real property-secured lenders would be crammed down involuntarily below prepetition levels and the mezzanine lenders, which are secured by the equity in subsidiary corporations, would receive nothing. As the Debtors have no unsecured assets, under these circumstances there is no question that common equity of the parent corporation, currently owned by Apollo, is out of the money. DECLARATION OF RONALD F. GREENSPAN d-1885639 Page 4 of26 agreement, would convey 50% of this new equity to Apollo in exchange for a payment of$107.5 Million. 10. I have been asked by counsel for Midland to consider and render my opinion on the following issues: A. Whether the Lock-Up creates a windfall for Apollo/Lehman and deprives the other secured creditors of the value of their collateral; B. Whether the Lock-Up violates the single purpose entity structure of the Midland Debtors; C. Whether using the Debtors' own metrics the Lock-Up undervalues Midland's collateral by capping Midland's claim at $550 Million; D. Whether the Lock-Up puts the Debtor and Midland's collateral at risk; E. Whether the Lock-Up is necessary to protect synergies of the "Innkeepers' enterprise"; F. Whether the "fiduciary out" provision in the Lock-Up is illusory; and G. Whether the alternative Five Mile Capital Proposal is superior to the transaction contemplated in the Lock-Up. 11. In connection with the preparation of this Declaration, I reviewed, analyzed and considered the documents, data and information set forth on Exhibit D hereto. 12. If the Lock-Up is approved by the Court, the risk to and burdens upon Midland and the Midland Collateral will increase because the Debtors will have locked themselves into pursuing the Lehman/Apollo Plan. 2 In choosing this direction, the Debtors have precluded their consideration of any other offers or plan of reorganization by agreeing not to "directly or indirectly seek, solicit, negotiate, vote for, consent to, support or participate in the formulation of any plan of reorganization or other restructuring other than the [Lehman/ Apollo] Plan" and not to 2 As noted previously, the "Midland Collateral" is the bulk of the Debtors' combined estates by all measures---it is more than 60% of their assets and EBITDA. Of course, for those Debtors that are actually obligated to Midland, the collateral is 100% of their assets and accounts for 100% of their EBITDA. DECLARATION OF RONALD F. GREENSPAN d-1885639 Page 5 of26 "directly or indirectly, seek, solicit, negotiate, support or engage in any discussions regarding any chapter 11 plan other than the [Lehman/ Apollo] Plan." The Court should consider whether the Lock-Up and the proposed treatment of Midland's secured claim is appropriate under the applicable standards and whether the Lock-Up is fair to all of the creditors of all the Debtors. See Lock-Up at 5-6. Upon my review, I have concluded that the Lock-Up and the transactions embodied therein harm Midland, and the Midland Debtors, for the following reasons: a. The Lock-Up improperly siphons value from the Midland collateral and all upside of the reorganized Midland Debtors to Lehman and Apollo, thereby giving Lehman and Apollo a windfall and depriving the other creditors of the value of their collateral. 1. At its essence, the Plan grants Lehman the full value of its collateral, substantial cash flow from the other creditor's collateral, and all future appreciation of its and every other creditor's collateral (which other collateral is more than three times larger than Lehman's collateral), all without Lehman putting up any new value or providing any paydown, additional collateral or benefit to any of the other secured creditors. n. On the surface, one might ask how Lehman, which is swapping its collateralized debt for all of the equity of Innkeepers, is thereby not somehow putting at risk the value of its collateral. The answer lies in the legal structure of the Innkeepers entities, which is different than a more "conventional" company which has debt at (or guaranteed by) the parent level. There does not exist now, and there is not specified under DECLARATION OF RONALD F. GREENSPAN d-1885639 Page 6 of26 the Lehman/Apollo Plan, any debt at the parent levee---further, upon the effective date of the Lehman/ Apollo plan, there will be no debt encumbering the current Lehman assets (all current and proposed debt is recourse only to, and secured by assets at, specific Single Purpose Entity ("SPE") subsidiaries). What that means is that Lehman, as the recipient of 100% ofthe equity of the reorganized parent company, will thereafter own free and clear the same assets which now serve as its collateral. A chart illustrating the corporate and capital structure of Innkeepers currently and under the Lehman/ Apollo Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit E. 111. Since the reorganized parent company will continue to have no liability on account of any prepetition (or post-petition) secured claim, Lehman post-confirmation will continue to have a senior claim (by virtue of its equity ownership of entities that own the assets free and clear) on all of the value and proceeds of its prepetition collateral. And unlike a "conventional" enterprise, where the conversion of debt to equity by one creditor arguably aids the other creditors by deleveraging the entity that has obligations to the other creditors post-confirmation, that is NOT happening here. The collateral for the Midland (and other secured creditors') obligations, and the only entities obligated on this debt, remains exactly the same pre- and post-confirmation. These entities are not getting a penny of debt relief on account of the Lehman 3 The term sheet does require a $75 Million exit loan facility, which will principally be used to retire the Five Mile Capital $51 Million DIP. The term sheet however does not identifY any source for such ftmds nor indicate which entities will be the borrower. DECLARATION OF RONALD F. GREENSPAN d-1885639 Page 7 of26 "conversion" (since the entities that owe Lehman money are wholly separate and distinct from the entities that have obligations to Midland and the other secured creditors)---in fact, the only relief received by the entities that owe Midland money is on account of the involuntary cram down of the Midland debt, with all of the value from the Midland (and other secured creditors') cramdown flowing to Lehman as the new equity owner of such entities. 4 tv. Moreover, substantial collateral value in excess of what Midland will receive on account of its claim, and all future appreciation, is being appropriated by Lehman (and Apollo). That there is excess current value cannot be disputed--- based on the Debtor's own projections 5 , even if Midland were to receive the maximum note permitted by the Lehman/Apollo Plan ($550 Million) and the interest rate suggested by the Debtor in its April 22, 2010 presentations to Lehman (produced by the Debtors in discovery), the Debtor's own forecasts of2011 EBITDA 6 from the Midland Collateral is $17.5 Million more than the debt service, which amount of diverted cash value from Midland to Lehman and Apollo increases each year thereafter. And based on preliminary forecasts prepared by FTI, I believe the Debtors' advisors are 4 The Lehman/ Apollo plan does convert the $17.5 Million Lehman DIP to equity as well, but such DIP also is only secured by the Lehman collateral and no entity obligated to Midland (or any other secured creditor) is obligated to repay such DIP. Also, the entirety of the proceeds of such DIP is for the sole benefit of the Lehman collateral. 5 Debtor has provided Midland and FTI certain projections prepared by Moelis. One is a Powerpoint presentation entitled "Project Tavern", dated April28, 2010. Further, they have provided an Excel model, titled "Tavern Model", dated June 14, 2010. All of my references to the "Debtors' own projections" refer to the information and projections contained in the latcr Excel model. 6 EBITDA is being calculated after deducting a 4% of revenue FF&E reserve. Without such reserve, the cash flow diversion would be even greatcr. DECLARATION OF RONALD F. GREENSPAN d-1885639 Page 8 of26 significantly understating the likely future cash flow from the Midland assets, meaning that the immediate value being diverted from the Midland collateral to Lehman and Apollo is even greater. v. If one were simply to use the valuation metrics established by the Apollo purchase of half the Lehman equity, it is apparent that there is approximately $130 to $170 Million of value in the Midland collateral that Midland is NOT receiving---instead, this value is being transferred to Lehman and Apollo for no consideration to Midland. In exchange for its debt (and $17 Million DIP loan), which debt is secured by nothing more than the 20 hotels in the Floating Rate Pool, Lehman is receiving 100% of the equity and is selling half to Apollo for $107.5 Million. This means the value of the entirety of the equity Lehman is receiving is $215 Million and if you subtract the $17 Million DIP, the value of the Lehman collateral is $198 Million. Per the Debtor, the Lehman collateral is expected to produce EBITDA (after 4% of revenue FF&E reserves) of$15.0 Million in 2010 and $13.9 Million in 2011 7 , yielding a 7.6 and 7.0 capitalization rate, respectively. If one applies those very same valuation metrics to the Midland collateral, which the Debtor forecasts will produce EBITDA (after 4% of revenue FF&E reserves) of $51.5 Million in 2010 and $50.5 Million in 2011, the Midland collateral is worth $680 Million to $720 Million. Yet the Lock-Up caps the 7 Source: Moelis Excel model, dated JlUle 14, entitled Project Tavern. DECLARATION OF RONALD F. GREENSPAN d-1885639 Page 9 of26 Midland claim at $550 Million. 8 Midland is being deprived of all value in excess ofthe $550 Million ceiling and all such value is being usurped by Lehman and Apollo. v1. Without any payment to or enhancement in the position of Midland, hundreds of millions of dollars of future appreciation is also being transferred to Lehman and Apollo. By the Debtor's own numbers, the EBITDA of the Midland collateral is projected to grow from $50.5 Million in 2011 to $67.4 Million in 2015 9 . While one can debate what will be the exact increase in value of the collateral from such growth, it is beyond doubt that this 33% increase in cash flow over the next five years can be expected to result in a meaningful increase in asset values. Applying the same capitalization rate as implied by the Lehman sale to Apollo, the increase in value of the Midland collateral will be approximately $220 Million---or enough to make Midland whole if it were to receive this plus the indicated $680 to $720 Million collateral value today. However, under the Lehman/Apollo Plan, Lehman and Apollo alone will receive such increased value of the Midland collateral-none will flow to Midland. vu. Also, the Debtors' multi-level corporate legal structure means that a Section 1111 (b) election will not afford its intended protection against an unfair cramdown. Since the transaction contemplated under the Lock-Up Agreement contemplates an IPO of the stock of the 8 The Term Sheet similarly caps the allowed claims of the other secured creditors (except Lehman) at levels below the value of their collateral as indicated by the Apollo purchase of half the equity from Lehman. 9 Source: Moelis Excel model, dated JWle 14, entitled Project Tavern. DECLARATION OF RONALD F. GREENSPAN d-1885639 Page 10 of26 reorganized entity and not a sale of Midland's collateral, the Lock-Up robs the secured creditors of the upside available under a Section llll(b) election. Therefore, Lehman and Apollo will profit from a plan that would strip away the value that would normally be afforded to a secured creditor through Section llll(b). b. The Lock-Up and Lehman/Apollo Plan ignore the SPE structures of the Midland Debtors. 1. As noted earlier, not a single one of the Debtors has secured debt to more than a single creditor. This was not an accident---it is the specifically negotiated and mandated structure required by each of the creditors and agreed to by the entirety of the Debtors and Apollo, their sponsor and controlling shareholder at the time of the loans. Typically a closing requirement of all such loans is what is commonly referred to as a non-consolidation legal opinion whereby the lender receives assurances that the borrowing entity is properly formed and is a legally separate and distinct entity with no other creditors. This SPE structure underlies much real estate lending and the entirety of the commercial mortgage backed securities marketplace. The efficient delivery of adequate credit to the commercial mortgage marketplace depends upon this negotiated legal structure being respected. These terms, and their consequences, are a fundamental lynchpin of much commercial mortgage fmancing and its continued availability. DECLARATION OF RONALD F. GREENSPAN d-1885639 Page 11 of26 n. The Lehman/ Apollo Plan ignores this corporate, legal and fmancial structure-in fact, the Plan expressly violates it. Other than in the 20 entities which owe debt to Lehman, there is no creditor class in any of the 52 other property-owning debtors (including the 45 property-owning debtors which are liable on the Midland debt) to consent to the Lehman/ Apollo cram down plan. These entities, by design and specific covenant between the borrower and lender, are SPE entities with no other creditors other than the single secured debt. Moreover, these entities do not operate the properties---the hotels are leased to an operating entity---hence, there will not even be meaningful trade debt at these entities. To the extent there are some incidental unsecured claims owed by these entities, they would be swamped by the massive, multi- hundred million dollar deficiency claims created by the Lehman/Apollo Plan. c. Using the Debtors' own valuation metrics, the Lock-Up likely undervalues Midland's collateral by capping Midland's claim at $550 Million and, in any event, precludes a market test of the actual value of Midland's collateral. 1. Using the valuation metric established by the Lehman sale of the equity to Apollo and the Debtor's own financials, the Midland collateral is worth approximately $130 to $170 Million more than allowed by the Lehmani Apollo Plan and the Support Agreement. To the extent Debtor wants to argue that somehow Midland's collateral is worth less than the indicated amount, then it is axiomatic that the Lehman/ Apollo Plan is DECLARATION OF RONALD F. GREENSPAN d-1885639 Page 12 of26 paying Lehman more than the value of its collateral, since the payment to it was the basis of calculating an approximately $680 to $720 Million value range for the Midland collateral---which overpayment to Lehman would also not be permitted under the Bankruptcy Code. n. Although I frequently provide expert valuation testimony, I readily concede that property valuations can best be determined not by experts but by the market. This often is not necessary, and experts' opinions will suffice, when there is an automatic alignment of interests or appropriate checks and balances are in place. A clear exception to that situation is in the case of a new value plan of reorganization, which is what we have here. Implementation of the Lock-Up would result in Apollo, the prepetition equity holder, continuing to own 50% of the equity in the reorganized debtor, while every one of the secured creditors takes a significant cram down haircut. That is the essence of a new value plan. Further, under the Lock-Up, the magnitude of the cram downs and the value of the equity being retained by Apollo are specifically precluded from having any market test. 10 Thus, we have a new value plan, without testing the market either as to the appropriateness of the size of the cramdowns or the value of the equity being retained, the implementation of which is being aided and abetted by a preferential immediate payoff to one creditor and the capture by 10 And not a penny of what Apollo is paying to keep its equity will even go into the reorganized debtor---rather it is being paid, preferentially, to reduce by 50% the exposure of a single creditor (while the exposure of the other creditors is not being reduced at all, except to the extent their debt is being involuntarily eliminated by the cram down). DECLARATION OF RONALD F. GREENSPAN d-1885639 Page 13 of26 such creditor (and the pre-petition equity holder, Apollo) of hundreds of millions of dollars of other creditors' current collateral value and future appreciation. 111. One only has to look at another current hospitality bankruptcy case, that of Extended Stay, to see the limitations of expert valuations in the current environment and why a market test is so critical if secured creditors are not to be deprived of the potential value of their collateral. 11 In Extended Stay, the appraiser who had valued the Debtor's assets at over $8 Billion in 2007 (coincidently, the same year as the Apollo leveraged buyout oflnnkeepers), produced a valuation of $2.8 Billion in 2010. The Debtor sought to do a transaction with consideration of $3.3 Billion to the creditors. However, after exposing the assets to the marketplace, a competitive round of offers and counteroffers ensued between several very capable investors, and the consideration fmally settled at $3.925 Billion. This was very substantially above the "appraised value" and the initial offer by the debtor's favored party, which offer the debtor wanted to accept. However, such offer would have clearly deprived the secured lenders of the full value of their 11 While I believe it is instructive to consider the Extended Stay valuation and the results of testing this value against market offers, in most other respects Innkeepers is a very different business model and structure than Extended Stay. Both companies own predominantly hotels in mid-level segments of the hospitality industry and have been hurt by excessive leverage and the economic slowdown. But that is essentially where the similarities end. Extended Stay is its own brand name and operates its hotels under its own trade names (which names are legally owned by an affiliate owned by the entities which prepetition controlled Extended Stay) rather than the Innkeepers' business model of exclusively using (paying for) much better known third-party franchised names, such as Marriott. Further, an affiliate of Extended Stay---HVM LLC, which is owned and controlled by David Lichtenstein and Lightstone, who also controlled Extended Stay pre-petition---manages its hotels and supervises and directs the thousands of employees who staff and operate the hotels. Innkeepers has but 26 employees total---the 2,600 employees at the hotels are employees of Island Hospitality, an unrelated third party company that manages all of the Innkeeper- owned hotels. Consequently, Extended Stay generates most of its reservations from an affiliated reservation and marketing department, whereas Innkeepers primarily relies upon (and pays for) its franchisors for this vital service. DECLARATION OF RONALD F. GREENSPAN d-1885639 Page 14 of26 collateral. I believe the same situation presents itself here only in a more malignant form---not only is the debtor asking the court to preclude a market test of what are very desirable assets (or the company as a whole), but it is being done in favor of the existing out-of-the-money equity, which appointed the entirety of the Debtor's board of directors and will benefit from holding 50% of the reorganized equity at below market values. IV. The usual purpose of a "stalking horse" plan or bid is that it sets a minimum consideration, which floor the Debtor is assured of receiving. Moreover, a stalking horse bid is often thought to encourage other parties to consider their own, higher bid because it constitutes "price discovery" that reduces uncertainty---one knows the "price that must be beat" and is accompanied with a bidding procedures order to ensure a fair process. The Lock-Up Agreement, on the other hand, is clearly designed to prevent any discovery of what is actually the market value of the company and its assets, much less a competitive bidding process-it, therefore, sets a self-serving ceiling rather than a floor on what the Debtor and its creditors will receive. Similarly, the Bankruptcy Code provides for exclusivity to allow the Debtor a limited period to formulate a plan of reorganization---but here, where the Lock-Up ensures the pre-petition equity owners half of the equity ownership of the reorganized Debtor with all secured and unsecured creditors suffering a massive cram down of principal, it is clear that an equitable DECLARATION OF RONALD F. GREENSPAN d-1885639 Page 15 of26 result can only occur if the value tested by a market process or exclusivity is lifted so that competing plans can be offered that allow the creditors to achieve the actual value of their collateral. The Lock-Up prevents any such test. 12 d. The Lock-Up puts Midland's collateral at risk if any one of the 19 Termination Events, many of which are not in the Debtors' control, occurs and the Lock-Up confers no benefits to the Creditors (or Debtor). 1. The termination provisions of the Lock-Up are perilous for the Midland Collateral, all of the secured creditors, and the Debtor itself. Paragraphs 6(a) through 6(s) set forth 19 Termination Events, any one of which causes a termination of the Lock-Up in just two days, unless waived by Lehman in its sole discretion. While including the usual and customary termination events, such as a default by either party (Paragraph 6(r), Paragraph 6 also contains many other events that are extraordinary and create significant danger to all of the non-Lehman creditors (and the Debtor). For example, Paragraph 6(a) makes it a termination event if 12 The Debtor has suggested that it had no alternative to the Lehman/Apollo Plan because the Midland lendcr, as a REMIC (real estate mortgage investment conduit established per Sections 860A thru 860G of the IRC), is limited in the assets it can own; specifically, REMICs cannot own equity securities and thcrefore could not do the debt for equity swap in the same fashion as Lehman. While that is a technically true statement regarding the Internal Revenue Code, it is a complete red hcrring as respects what could be done between Innkeepers and Midland and is a failed excuse rathcr than a reason why the Debtors have not attempted to negotiate a similar transaction with Midland. Thcre are a myriad of structuring techniques that could allow Midland to be a party to a restructuring that would achieve very similar benefits for the Debtors as the Lehman transaction purports to accomplish (albeit not for Apollo). Witness, for example, the Five Mile Capital DIP loan---Midland as a REMIC could not directly make a DIP loan but could introduce Five Mile Capital, a major beneficiary of the Midland REMIC and holder of a "first loss position" in such structure, to Innkeepers and not object to subordinate its loan to a Five Mile Capital priming DIP loan. This accomplished the exact same result as the direct Lehman DIP. Similarly, thcre are a myriad of potential structures where Midland and/or its beneficiaries could participate in a restructuring whcre the normal benefits that accrue on account of being the "fulcrum" security would flow to Midland and its beneficiaries rather than being siphoned to Lehman and Apollo under the guise of being necessitated by Internal Revenue Code limitations on Midland. DECLARATION OF RONALD F. GREENSPAN d-1885639 Page 16 of26 any one of eight Plan Milestones is not achieved on the prescribed timeline-the enumerated Milestones begin 45 days after the petition and conclude 270 days after the petition, meaning the agreement is in jeopardy of termination throughout the entire tenure of this bankruptcy case; Paragraphs 6(b) and (c) make it a Termination Event if Lehman has not executed a defmitive sale agreement for half of its shares by 45 days after the debtor's petition date or has not consummated such sale within 270 days of debtors' petition date, respectively; Paragraphs 6(g) and (i) make it a Termination Event if the Company seeks to modify any Plan Milestone, does not oppose any filing by another seeking to modify any such Plan Milestone, or if the Company makes any filing which is inconsistent with the Lehman/ Apollo Plan (which would presumably mean that any effort by the Company to activate its "Fiduciary Out", discussed in Paragraph 12(), infra, would be a Termination event); Paragraph 6(p) makes it a Termination Event if there is any material adverse change in connection with the Debtor's assets or operations or in the real estate, capital, banking or fmancial markets in general; and Paragraph 6(q) makes it a Termination Event if Lehman in the sole exercise of its discretion after tax due diligence determines the transaction cannot be structured to its satisfaction. n. The consequence to the Midland collateral, and indeed the Debtor, is severe if the Lock-Up were to be approved by this Court and then terminated pursuant to any of the myriad of controllable or DECLARATION OF RONALD F. GREENSPAN d-1885639 Page 17 of26 uncontrollable Termination Events. Section 8(a) immediately terminates the Debtor's use of the Lehman cash collateral upon the occurrence of any one of the 19 Termination Events, some with corresponding subparts. That would not only disrupt the operations of the 20 Lehman hotels, but would also mean the Lehman hotels would no longer be paying their prorata share of the corporate overhead and administrative expenses of the Debtors---thereby greatly increasing the burden on the other collateral (Midland's collateral would then be over 80% of the estate assets) and/or rendering the Debtors administratively insolvent. Further, upon certain Termination Events (those in Paragraphs 6(a)(vii) and (viii)), as set forth in Paragraph 8(b), videlicet the failure of the court to confirm the Lehmani Apollo Plan in accordance with the Plan Milestones, Lehman can exercise all remedies with respect to its collateral "with no further bankruptcy court approval required" or cause a Section 363 sale of its collateral with Lehman receiving all proceeds and able to credit bid. Clearly such action, either of which would deprive the Debtors of these assets, and the most draconian of which by the very terms of the Agreement are executable without further court approval, would be disruptive to the Debtors and, if there is enterprise value created from synergies, as claimed by the Debtors, would be value destructive. 111. Furthermore, Lehman has the right in its sole discretion to terminate the Lock-Up (and thereby cause the adverse consequences of such DECLARATION OF RONALD F. GREENSPAN d-1885639 Page 18 of26 termination discussed above) if the terms of the post-petition note in favor of Midland (and the note in favor of each of the other secured creditors) is not to its liking. By itself, it would seem that the fact that there is no specified interest rate (and other terms) that would be deemed satisfactory to Lehman, and therefore gives it a perpetual "out", is sufficient reason alone for the Court to deny approval of the Lock-Up. e. There are no synergies inherent in the Debtors' "enterprise" the saving of which necessitate the Lock-Up. 1. The Debtors' argue that the Lock-Up will allow them to "continue realizing certain synergistic efficiencies in the operation of their hotels with all of the attendant benefits of a comprehensive hotel enterprise." See Lock-Up Motion at 4-5. This statement implies both that there are synergistic benefits of maintaining the current "enterprise" and that the Court should consider these benefits to the overall hotel enterprise when determining whether to approve the Lock-Up. n. I do not believe either of those implications exists in fact. First, there is no benefit to the Midland collateral of remaining owned by the Debtors. There is no support for the proposition that there are meaningful economies of scale achieved in the operation of 72 hotels that are not already achieved by the operation of the 45 Midland properties alone. Besides the fact that little is achieved by adding 27 properties to a portfolio that already numbers 45, the hotels are spread throughout the country (dissipating any potential benefits of scale) and are actually DECLARATION OF RONALD F. GREENSPAN d-1885639 Page 19 of26 managed by Island Hospitality, not the Debtors, and all employees who operate the hotels are employees of Island Hospitality and not the Debtors. If owned separately, the several pools of hotels now owned by the Debtors could still be managed and operated by Island Hospitality (or any other hotel management company), thereby preserving any potential (and undoubtedly small) synergies (if any in fact exist from common operation of the pools). Further, the all-important brand names and reservation systems which underlie the Debtors' hotels are owned and operated by the franchisors (such as Marriott), for which the franchisors are paid a handsome fee (for the Midland pool, this ranges between 7.5% and 10.5% of gross revenues)---the ownership of the hotels by Debtor has no contribution to the franchise name or its operation---in fact, keeping the several pools of collateral together under the Innkeeper aegis actually creates Franchisor cross-pool default risks (as exists under the Marriott PIP agreement), which risks would not exist if the pools were separately owned. 13 Second, even if there were some small synergies from having the two pools stay under Debtors' ownership and those synergies somehow necessitated a Lock-Up, there is no rationale that such synergies should be garnered at the cost of providing Midland (and the other non-Lehman creditors) less than the value of their collateral. As discussed above, the Lock-Up provides 13 Midland, as presumably does Lehman, has an agreement with each of the franchisors allowing the continuation of the franchise agreement in the event of foreclosure by Midland. Hence, the Debtor's ownership of the properties is not necessary for the continuation of the Marriott (or other) franchise agreements and, as the Marriott PIP agreement highlights, the Debtor's past and continued ownership of the properties actually has put the franchise agreement in jeopardy for what the Marriott agreement defines as the 23 Marriott Defaulted Hotels. DECLARATION OF RONALD F. GREENSPAN d-1885639 Page 20 of26 Midland less than the value of its collateral---such should not and, pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, cannot be the cost or consequence of the Debtors maintaining its claimed "enterprise synergies", even if they existed. f. The Lock-Up's purported "fiduciary out" is illusory. 1. A Debtor whose debts exceed its assets---a condition made explicit in the instant case by the Lehmani Apollo Plan and acknowledged by all constituents---has a duty to all of its creditors. In my experience, Debtors try to minimally, some would say ostensibly, satisfy such obligation with what is commonly called a "fiduciary out" in lock-up agreements. n. The "fiduciary out" in the Lock-Up, paragraph 25(c), provides: "The Company agrees that the Fiduciary Out shall not apply, and may not be used, to annul, modify, amend, or otherwise alter any of the Plan Milestones or any of the remedies in respect thereof; provided, however, that if the Company secures a binding and firm written commitment with respect to an alternative transaction that will provide Lehman with a higher and better recovery than the recovery proposed under the Plan (a "Firm Alternative Transaction"), the Company shall provide Lehman with at least ten (10) Business Days to determine whether Lehman will consent to such Firm Alternative Transaction. If Lehman does not consent to such Firm Alternative Transaction, the Company may only exercise the Fiduciary Out after it has obtained an order from the Bankruptcy Court authorizing the Company to exercise the Fiduciary Out in accordance with the terms hereof. The Company agrees that in determining whether a Firm Alternative Transaction is "higher and better," all factors must be considered including contingencies, conditionality, legal and fmancial execution risk, economics and Lehman's opinion as to whether such Firm Alternative Transaction is "higher and better." [emphasis added] DECLARATION OF RONALD F. GREENSPAN d-1885639 Page 21 of26 (iii) By definition, a "fiduciary out" that requires an alternative proposal to be both better for a single creditor and subject to a single creditor's approval before the Debtor can accept an alternative proposal, especially when such single creditor is the proponent of the Plan involved in the lock-up agreement, is wholly illusory. This is not a "fiduciary out", but a fiduciary handcuff whose key is held not by the company in the exercise of its duty but by the minority creditor who has already cut a deal to revert half the equity of the company to the existing out-of-the-money equity holder. If this were deemed to satisfy the Debtor's obligations to its other creditors, there in effect would be no such obligations, which is not what I understand the bankruptcy law to be. (iv) Even if the Lock-Up contained a legitimate "fiduciary out" clause, other provisions of this Lock-Up render it completely meaningless and ineffective in the real world. First, the Debtor is allowed only to consider (and pass on to Lehman for its approval) a "binding and firm" offer. No initial purchase or investment offer for a company is "binding and firm" ---even the fmal Lehman agreement presented to this court for its endorsement, which was the result of months of negotiation and due diligence, has a myriad of conditions that make it other than "binding and firm", including such provisions as reaching defmitive documentation, satisfactory tax planning, no material adverse change, effecting satisfactory (but wholly undefmed) cram down of all secured creditors, etc. No competing proposal is likely to be made without similar conditions to it being binding and, therefore, any such alternative offer would not qualify---even though the Lehman offer does not meet the same test DECLARATION OF RONALD F. GREENSPAN d-1885639 Page 22 of26 either. Further, the Lock-Up, hidden away in the misleadingly titled paragraph "S(c) Approvals", provides as follows: "Neither Party shall, directly or indirectly, seek, solicit, negotiate, support or engage in any discussions relating to or enter into any agreements relating to, any restructuring, plan of reorganization, dissolution, winding up, liquidation, reorganization, merger, transaction, sale or disposition (or all or substantially all of their assets or equity) other than as set forth in the Plan Term Sheet and the Plan, nor shall either Party solicit or direct any person or entity, including, without limitation, any member of any of the Parties' board of directors or, as to the Company, any holder of equity in the Company, to undertake any of the foregoing" It would be virtually impossible for any company, especially a closely held enterprise with no SEC filings, such as Innkeepers, to receive a binding (and full market value) offer if such company is precluded from soliciting, negotiating or even just discussing with a prospective offeror its assets, contracts, business operations or the terms of an offer. Offering circulars, informational memoranda, due diligence, data rooms, email solicitations and the like are standard, in fact mandatory, if one is to seriously attempt to achieve a full market value offer---yet Innkeepers, its officers and its agents are specifically precluded from doing any of these things. The obverse is also true---failure to do these things, and in particular to contractually bind oneself not to do these things, is an affirmative statement of intent to hinder receipt of a competitive market value proposal. 14 g. There has been made a superior proposal for a plan of reorganization that treats more favorably all of the parties with an economic interest in the 14 It is not difficult to divine why Apollo is going to such lengths, including preventing the Debtor from exposing itself to a better offer, to ensure that Apollo is the uncontested owner of a significant share of Innkeepers' equity. In connection with the 2007 Midland loan, Apollo guaranteed the performance of significant PIP obligations. It is uncontested that ltmkeepers has defaulted on its Marriott PIP obligations. Midland has filed suit against Apollo to enforce its guaranty obligations. Buried in the Lehman/ Apollo term sheet, under the misleading heading "Closing Conditions", is a provision that mandates post-closing and post-reorganization that so long as Apollo holds at least 25% of the Innkeepers' equity, ltmkeepers shall use the exit financing and its net cash flow to satisfY the PIP obligations for which Midland has sued Apollo. DECLARATION OF RONALD F. GREENSPAN d-1885639 Page 23 of26 Debtor (except Lehman, because it was likely receiving under the Lehman/Apollo Plan significantly more value than its claim (collateral) is worth). 1. I have seen a proposal by Five Mile Capital to fmance an alternative plan of reorganization (the FMC Plan) which treats all of the secured and unsecured creditors of Innkeepers, except for Lehman, better than the Lehman/Apollo Plan and suffers none of the infirmities of the Lehman/ Apollo Plan discussed above. My understanding is that the FMC Plan is contingent upon Midland, as the largest creditor, agreeing to support it and Midland is having a meeting of its credit committee this week (the week of August 23, 2010) to decide whether to issue such support. The following chart, taken from the Five Mile Capital proposal, describes the treatment of all pre-petition creditors thereunder. 15 15 The chart below reflects that $238 million is outstanding under the Floating Rate Mortgage Loan; however, this amount includes approximately $18 million of postpetition interest.

The very fact that a competing proposal offers significantly more value to each of the creditors is indicative that the Lehmani Apollo Plan improperly deprives the creditors of the value of their collateral (and transfers such value to Lehman and Apollo). Further, the FMC Plan provides all of the creditors, including Lehman, a true safeguard against it being an unfair plan---each creditor may take its collateral in lieu of the treatment proposed by the FMC Plan. Finally, unlike the Lehmani Apollo Plan, which expressly prohibits the Debtor from exposing the Company and its assets to the market or a competing plan DECLARATION OF RONALD F. GREENSPAN d-1885639 Page 25 of26 (undoubtedly because of the improper motivation that such activity would highlight the unfairness of the Lehman/ Apollo Plan), the FMC Plan expressly provides for market exposure and overbids-including the opportunity for Lehman and Apollo to bid competitively for the company and its assets if they are still interested at a fair market price.
