Derrough, declare as follows: 1. I am over the age of 18 and competent to testify. I am a Managing Director of

Moelis & Company LLC (Moelis), resident in Moeliss New York office, located at 399 Park Avenue, 5th Floor, New York, New York 10022. I have over 20 years of investment banking experience, having begun my career in 1988 at Salomon Brothers. During my career, I have worked on a number of transactions in the hotel, leisure, and real estate industries, ranging from debt and equity financings, to mergers, acquisitions, and restructurings. In the past 16 months, Moelis & Company has completed or is engaged in a number of large real estate transactions (financings, restructurings, and mergers and acquisitions) representing approximately $100

billion in value.

These include transactions involving Centro Properties Group (corporate

restructuring), Chrysler Corp HQ building (mortgage financing), Dubai World Holdings (advisor to government of Dubai), Fiddlers Creek (chapter 11 debtor advisory), Fleet Street (CMBS vehicle restructuring), Fontainebleau Resorts (restructuring, sale), GGP (chapter 11), LNR Partners (corporate restructuring), Stuyvesant Town/Peter Cooper Village (CMBS restructuring), and Xanadu (restructuring, equity financing). Moelis was the advisor to Hilton Hotels in its $26.5 billion sale to Blackstone Group in 2007. Our real estate group has completed numerous transactions for REITs, including for Simon Properties, Diamond Rock Hospitality Company, Starwood Financial Group, and iStar Financial. 2. I submit this declaration (the Supplemental Declaration) in accordance with

Rule 1007-2 of the Local Bankruptcy Rules for the Southern District of New York in support of the Motion for Entry of an Order (I) Authorizing the Debtors to Enter into the Commitment Letter with Five Mile Capital II Pooling REIT LLC, Lehman ALI Inc., and Midland Loan Services, (II) Approving the New Party/Midland Commitment Between the Debtors and Midland Loan Services, (III) Approving Bidding Procedures, (IV) Approving Bid Protections, (V) Authorizing an Expense Reimbursement To Bidder D, and (VI) Modifying Cash Collateral Order to Increase Expense Reserve (the Motion) and to supplement my previous declaration submitted in support of the Motion (the Declaration) [Docket No. 821], which I incorporate by reference herein.2 3. The facts set forth in this Supplemental Declaration are based upon my personal

knowledge, upon information and belief (where indicated), or upon client matter records kept in the ordinary course of business that were reviewed by me or other employees of Moelis under
2

Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Motion.

my supervision and direction. To the extent I express opinions in this Supplemental Declaration, those opinions are based in part on my specialized knowledge, training, skill, and approximately 20 years of experience in investment banking, restructuring, and finance. If called and sworn as a witness, I could and would testify competently to the matters set forth herein.3 4. Because discovery is not complete and objections to the Motion are not due until

February 25, 2011, I expressly reserve the right to further supplement any opinions offered and may offer additional opinions and rebuttal testimony. To the extent I offer opinions in my Declaration or this Supplemental Declaration, those opinions are based on information presently available to me. 5. On or around March 24, 2010, the Debtors engaged Moelis to provide general

investment banking and financial advice in connection with the Debtors attempts to complete a strategic restructuring, reorganization, and/or recapitalization of all or a significant portion of the Debtors outstanding indebtedness, as well as to prepare for the potential commencement of chapter 11 cases. A. 6. The Debtors Are Engaging in a Broad Marketing Process and Will Consider Any and All Value-Maximizing Transactions. In addition to pursuing the Five Mile/Lehman Bid through the stalking horse

process and the Motion, the Debtors and their advisors have continued to engage in a broad marketing process that is deliberately and carefully designed to maximize the value of the estates. Consistent with the directions of the Board and the Independent Committee, Moelis and the Debtors management have contacted a broad range of prospective buyers, representing a

In accordance with Fed. R. Civ. P. 26, Moelis compensation in connection with these chapter 11 cases is set forth in the Debtors Application for the Entry of an Order Authorizing the Retention and Employment of Moelis & Company LLC as Financial Advisor and Investment Banker to the Debtors Nunc Pro Tunc to the Petition Date [Docket No. 21]. Given the expedited nature of the litigation in connection with the Motion, a list of all my testimony in the last four years would be unduly burdensome, as would a listing of all publications I have authored in the previous ten years.

spectrum of potential interest, from established hotel owners and operators, to large private equity investors, sovereign wealth funds, and individual investors. 7. As part of this effort, the Debtors management and Moelis began to circulate a

marketing teaser letter (the Initial Marketing Letter) on January 7, 2011 and, to date, have circulated the Initial Marketing Letter to over 100 potential financial, strategic, and other buyers. The Initial Marketing Letter, attached hereto as Exhibit A, explains the benefits of becoming a bidder for the Debtors enterprise or their individual assets. The Initial Marketing Letter sets forth in detail the investment opportunity in sponsoring a plan of reorganization for the Debtors or in otherwise offering a proposal to purchase or acquire all or a portion of the Debtors assets. 8. On January 24, 2011, the Debtors management and Moelis began to circulate a

more detailed and updated process letter (the Follow-Up Process Letter). To date, the Follow-Up Process Letter, attached hereto as Exhibit B, has been sent to over 70 potential buyers, including financial and strategic investors. The Follow-Up Process Letter invites

proposals in all forms that will maximize value. Specifically, the Follow-Up Process Letter invites proposals for superior enterprise-based transactions, asset pools, or individual assets[,] id. at 1, and also describes the process to conduct due diligence and to submit proposals both in advance of and after the March 8-9 hearing on the Motion (the Hearing). To facilitate the bidding process, the Debtors have requested that, to the extent possible, any pre-Hearing bids be submitted and negotiated at least two weeks before the Hearing. 9. The Debtors also issued a press release on January 24, 2011 announcing the

Stalking Horse Bid and the related Motion. See January 24, 2011 Press Release (the Press Release). The Press Release, attached hereto as Exhibit C, describes and further highlights the

4
K &E 18341277

Debtors continued pursuit and consideration of all value-maximizing proposals, including nonenterprise based proposals. 10. On January 24 through January 26, 2011, representatives of Moelis attended The

American Lodging Investment Summit Conference in San Diego, California (the ALIS Conference) to promote or generate potential investor interest. At the ALIS Conference, Moelis representatives engaged with numerous potential buyers to discuss the investment opportunity in acquiring the Debtors enterprise or their individual assets. In addition to seven scheduled meetings with prospective investors, Moelis conducted several ad hoc discussions with potentially interested parties during the ALIS Conference. 11. On February 1, 2011, the Board held a meeting to discuss the ongoing marketing

process. In furtherance of this discussion, the Debtors and their advisors provided a detailed process update to the Board, presented a comparison of restructuring proposals (including the Five Mile/Lehman Bid, the stalking horse proposals of Bidders A-D, and earlier bids from Five Mile), discussed the Initial Marketing Letter, and informed the Board of the status of discussions with potential buyers. 12. As of the date of this Supplemental Declaration, the Debtors and their advisors

have identified over 180 potential buyers, including approximately 129 potential financial buyers and 53 strategic buyers, and have had contact with over 170 potential buyers. In addition, the Debtors have sent the Initial Marketing Letter to over 100 of the potential buyers, while also sending over 75 draft non-disclosure agreements to potential financial, strategic, and other buyers. Since filing the Motion, the Debtors have executed 20 non-disclosure agreements with

5
K &E 18341277

potential bidders and have granted these parties data room access to conduct due diligence. The Debtors are currently negotiating the terms of an additional eight non-disclosure agreements.4 13. In concert with these actions, the Debtors and their advisors are currently engaged

in discussions with interested parties to facilitate due diligence, solicit bids, and explore potential interest in offering proposals in advance of the Hearing (as described in the Follow-Up Process Letter), submitting an Overbid at the Auction (as described in the Motion), or acquiring asset pools or individual assets. The current discussions between the Debtors and their advisors and numerous potential bidders, as well as the Debtors efforts to solicit and explore all transactional options that would maximize value, demonstrate that the marketing process has generated significant interest. 14. The Debtors also continue to engage with constituencies (and their respective

financial advisors) that have indicated they will object to the Motion, such as the Ad Hoc Committee of Preferred Shareholders and LNR, and have made a concerted effort to engage with parties advocated by these constituencies. Specifically, on January 18, 2011, Moelis contacted representatives of the Debtors constituencies and requested the names and contact information for parties these constituencies believed should be included in the marketing process. As a

result of these efforts, the Debtors received several names that they are now including in the marketing process, including facilitating diligence by two parties pursuing interest in the role of manager of the reorganized company and, at their request, permitting cooperation between the advisors to LNR and a bidder who has indicated it may propose an alternative stalking horse bid.

The figures listed in 12 do not include the original stalking horse bidders, as certain of these parties are still engaging with the Debtors, conducting further due diligence, and considering additional proposals.

OPPORTUNITY OVERVIEW On July 19, 2010, Innkeepers filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (Case No. 10-13800). The Company has pursued reorganization through a Chapter 11 process and is soliciting interest from those who might wish to sponsor a plan of reorganization for the Company or otherwise render a proposal to purchase or acquire all or a portion of Innkeepers or its assets. Moelis & Company, financial advisor to the Company, is leading this marketing process. On January 14, 2011, the Company filed their motion seeking court approval to, among other things, enter into a commitment letter pursuant to which Five Mile Capital II Pooling REIT LLC, through its investment advisor Five Mile Capital Partners LLC, and Lehman ALI Inc. agreed to sponsor a plan of reorganization for the Company (the Stalking Horse Bid). In addition, the Companys motion seeks approval of certain procedures (the Bidding Procedures) pursuant to which it will solicit interest from other parties proposing value maximizing proposals. Both prior to and after approval of the Bidding Procedures, in accordance with the provisions thereof, the Company will continue to solicit other valuemaximizing proposals for the sponsorship and funding of the Companys Chapter 11 plan of reorganization. COMPANY OVERVIEW Innkeepers is a leading owner of upscale, extended stay hotel properties throughout the United States. Headquartered in Palm Beach, Florida, the Company owns interests in 73 hotels, of which 72 are fully owned and one is partially owned through a joint venture structure. The fully owned properties encompass 9,767 rooms in 18 states and the District of Columbia. The majority of the Companys hotels are located on the East and West coasts of the US with a presence in the Midwest, Texas, and Colorado. Independent hotel managers manage all of the Companys hotels. RECENT EVENTS The Company, along with the entire lodging industry, experienced declines in rates, occupancy and cash flow beginning in 2008. In response, the Company took aggressive steps to reduce expenses across its portfolio of hotels. Despite these and other efforts, the Companys performance and cash flow continued to decline. In April 2010, the Company announced it had not made interest payments on certain of its debt obligations. On July 19, 2010, the Company and its debtor affiliates filed for bankruptcy protection. The Company has pursued reorganization through a Chapter 11 process and is soliciting interest from those who might wish to sponsor a plan of reorganization for the Company or otherwise render a proposal to purchase or acquire all or a portion of Innkeepers or its assets.

CAPITALIZATION OVERVIEW As of September 30, 2010, the Company had secured indebtedness of approximately $1.4 billion, including approximately $1.3 billion of property-level secured debt. Approximately $1.0 billion of the Companys debt is securitized in the CMBS market. The Companys funded secured pre-petition debt is in nine groups with separate collateral packages. The Company is currently using $70.5 million in committed debtor-in-possession (DIP) financing provided by Five Mile Capital Partners and Solar Capital (an affiliate of Lehman Asset Management Company) for the specific purpose of funding most of the remaining incomplete property improvement programs (PIPs) required under its franchise agreements and certain other capital expenditures. The DIP financing will allow the Company to complete these PIPs, remain in compliance with the PIP requirements of its franchise agreements, increase the value of those hotels that enjoy capital improvements, and generally maintain and enhance the value of the Innkeepers enterprise. In addition to the Companys funded indebtedness, it also has two classes of preferred shares outstanding. As of the petition date, Grand Prix Holdings, LLC held substantially all of Innkeepers currently outstanding common shares. CAPITALIZATION TABLE 12

[DATE] PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL [COMPANY NAME] [ADDRESS] [ADDRESS] Attention: [NAME, TITLE]

Moelis & Company LLC (Moelis, we, us, or our) has been retained by Innkeepers USA Trust (Innkeepers or the Company) to represent the Company as its exclusive financial advisor in connection with a potential transaction involving the Company (the Transaction). As we have previously, we are again contacting you regarding your interest in a Transaction and to provide an update regarding the Companys efforts on this front. On January 14, 2011, the Company filed a motion seeking authority from the Court presiding over the Companys pending chapter 11 cases to enter into a commitment letter for a stalking horse bid submitted by Five Mile/Lehman (the Stalking Horse Bid). The Court scheduled a hearing for March 8, 2011 (the Hearing), to consider approval of (among other things) (1) the Stalking Horse Bid, (2) bidding procedures governing an auction at which overbids to the Stalking Horse Bid will be solicited, and (3) a break-up fee to Five Mile/Lehman if the Company completes a transaction other than the Stalking Horse Bid (and provided certain other conditions are satisfied). The Stalking Horse Bid contemplates an enterprise-level transaction involving the Companys entire portfolio and is valued at $1.139 billion (including approximately $790.5 million of debt financing and approximately $348.2 million of equity). Under the Stalking Horse Bid, Fixed Pool mortgage holders are to receive consideration of $622.5 million in debt, the Floating Pool mortgage holder is to receive consideration of $200.3 million in equity and cash, and the other mortgage holders are to receive consideration of $168.2 million. For your convenience, attached hereto is a summary of the pro-forma capitalization contemplated by the Stalking Horse Bid. As we have stated, the Company will evaluate all credible and viable proposals that will maximize value on behalf of our constituents. To be clear, the Company can and will continue to fully consider other value-maximizing restructuring proposals it may receive before or after the Hearing, including proposals for superior enterprise-based transactions, asset pools, or individual assets. As such, we encourage you to submit and we will consider enterprise and non-enterprise-level bids that maximize value, including proposals for pools and individual assets. Proposals Received Prior to the Hearing If you are interested in submitting a proposal prior to the Hearing, we urge you to contact us as soon as possible, but ideally before February 23, 2011. We estimate that it will take at least two weeks, if not longer, to negotiate your proposal before the Hearing. To make this process as efficient as possible, we have made available certain documents in the Companys on-line data room related to the plan sponsor process, including the commitment letter, Stalking Horse Bid,

and bidding procedures, and ask that you provide us a markup of the documents with your proposal. To the extent your proposal is not fully negotiated in advance of the Hearing, the Company expects to proceed with its request for approval of the Stalking Horse Bid. Proposals after the Hearing Of course, if you are not interested in submitting a proposal before the Hearing or are unable to submit a finalized, alternative proposal within a reasonable time before the Hearing, we encourage you to submit a proposal prior to the bid deadline for overbids to the Stalking Horse Bid, which the Company currently expects to occur approximately on April 22, 2011 (45 days after the Hearing). In summary, we encourage you to submit non-enterprise-level proposals for pools or individual assets, should you have an interest in pursuing such a transaction. We will evaluate all credible and viable proposals that will maximize value on behalf of our constituents. Process Summary This process is designed to encourage the participation of investors and to provide those investors who can complete their due diligence quickly an opportunity to submit an enterprise or non-enterprise-level bid that maximizes value. The timeline and next steps for this process, however, depend on several factors, including the details of your proposal. Time is of the essence and your proposal is expected to be binding. The Company will place significant weight on proposals that are specific with respect to consideration, structure, ease of execution, and timing. The Companys goal in this process is to secure the highest and best Transaction possible and to generate as much value for its chapter 11 estates as possible. For us to evaluate the proposals on a comparable basis, any proposal you submit should address the following points, along with any others you feel will be helpful to us in evaluating your proposal: Valuation / Structure The proposal should indicate the purchase price for either: a) 100% of the Company, in which case we request that you provide an aggregate debt balance range and the associated debt-to-capitalization, or b) the desired pool, including proposed treatment of claims in the desired pool, or c) individual assets, including the proposed treatment of claims per asset

If your proposal contemplates a combination of these alternatives, please be precise regarding the configuration of such a combination. Committed Financing The proposal must include committed financing documented to the Companys satisfaction that demonstrates the proposal has: a) received sufficient debt and/or equity funding commitments, and b) adequate working capital financing or resources to finance going concern operations and the proposed restructuring transactions Identity The proposal must fully disclose the identity, contact information,

and a description of the financial position and hospitality industry experience of each entity that will be submitting a proposal or otherwise participating in connection with such proposal (including any equity holder or other financial backer if the proposal is made from an entity formed for the purpose of consummating the proposed transaction contemplated by the proposal) and the complete terms of any such participation. Under no circumstances shall any undisclosed principals be associated with any proposal. All proposals must also include contact information for the specific person(s) Moelis & Company LLC or Kirkland & Ellis LLP should contact regarding the proposal. Contingencies - No Financing or Diligence Outs A proposal may include covenants and conditions reasonably acceptable to the Company, but under no circumstances shall a proposal be conditioned on the obtaining or the sufficiency of financing or any internal or credit committee approval, syndication requirements, or on the outcome or review of due diligence, but may be subject to the accuracy at the closing of specified representations and warranties or the satisfaction at the closing of specified conditions. A proposal must demonstrate to the Companys satisfaction the necessary financial capacity to consummate the proposed transactions required by its proposal. A proposal shall be irrevocable until and unless the Company consummates a higher or otherwise better proposal. A proposal shall provide evidence that you have obtained all necessary internal authorization or approval, including from your Board of Directors (or comparable governing body), with respect to the submission, execution, delivery, and closing of your proposal and transactions contemplated thereby. Midland Loan Services, a division of PNC Bank, National Association, has agreed to provide financing, subject to certain conditions, to prospective bidders at the auction. The proposal should indicate if a bidder is interested in taking advantage of this opportunity. Moelis will make arrangements for discussion between you and Midland, at the appropriate time and should we, in our sole discretion deem it to be appropriate. This is not intended to be, and is not, a commitment of any form whatsoever on behalf of Midland Loan Services, the Company or us. The proposal should include a description of any other conditions you anticipate, including anticipated timing of satisfying such conditions. The proposal should include a list of the name(s), and respective function(s), of any advisors you have engaged or would plan to engage in connection with the Transaction and the name(s), phone number(s), email(s), and fax number(s) of the parties prepared to answer any questions regarding your proposal.

All (a) communications regarding the Transaction, (b) requests for additional information, and (c) discussions or questions regarding the procedures and guidelines in this letter or any other matter related to the Transaction should be submitted or directed to us (contact information below). We will be available throughout the process to assist you in your evaluation of the Company. In no event should you contact the management, employees, advisors (other than us), suppliers, franchisors, or customers of the Company regarding any matter relating to the Transaction.

INNKEEPERS USA TRUST IN BROAD MARKETING PROCESS AS PART OF CHAPTER 11 RESTRUCTURING


PALM BEACH, Fla., January 24, 2011 Innkeepers USA Trust (OTC: INKPP) (Innkeepers or the Company), a real estate investment trust and a leading owner of upscale extended-stay hotel properties throughout the United States, filed a motion on January 14, 2011 seeking authority from the Court presiding over the Companys pending chapter 11 cases to enter into a commitment letter for a stalking horse bid submitted by Five Mile Capital II Pooling REIT LLC / Lehman ALI Inc. (the Stalking Horse Bid). The Stalking Horse Bid contemplates an enterprise-level transaction involving the Companys entire portfolio and is valued at $1.14 billion (including approximately $790.5 million of debt financing and approximately $348.2 million of equity). The Court has scheduled a hearing for March 8, 2011, to consider approval of (among other things) (1) the Stalking Horse Bid, (2) bidding procedures governing an auction at which overbids to the Stalking Horse Bid will be solicited, and (3) a break-up fee to Five Mile / Lehman if the Company completes a transaction other than the Stalking Horse Bid (and certain other conditions are satisfied). The Stalking Horse Bid includes $622.5 million of mortgage debt provided by an existing creditor. This creditor has agreed to make this debt available to other bidders at the auction that want to use it and that meet certain conditions. We are pleased with the progress of our restructuring process thus far. The bid submitted by Five Mile and Lehman provides both baseline recoveries for Innkeepers constituents and a benchmark for the valuation of our portfolio, said Marc Beilinson, the Companys Chief Restructuring Officer. The Company can and will continue to fully consider all other value-maximizing restructuring proposals it may receive, whether for enterprise-based transactions, asset pools or individual assets, said Beilinson. Our process is ongoing and we are actively soliciting interest, both in advance of the March hearing and afterward, in accordance with the bid procedures (if approved at the hearing). As such, we encourage interested parties to submit bids at any time for enterprise-based transactions or for individual or collections of assets. Moelis & Company LLC (Moelis) has been retained by Innkeepers to represent the Company as its exclusive financial advisor in connection with a potential transaction. Interested parties who have not already done so, are encouraged to reach out to Steve Moore at Moelis (steve.moore@moelis.com) for further information involving the marketing process and accessing detailed financial and operational information on the Company and its assets.
