PEBBLEBROOK HOTEL TRUST
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization
Pebblebrook Hotel Trust (the "Company") is an internally managed hotel investment company, formed as a Maryland real estate investment trust in October 2009 to opportunistically acquire and invest in hotel properties located primarily in major U.S. cities and resort properties located near our primary target urban markets and select destination resort markets, with an emphasis on major gateway coastal markets.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company owned interests in 46 hotels with a total of 11,933 gue st rooms . The hotel properties are located in: Boston, Massachusetts; Chicago, Illinois; Hollywood, Florida; Jekyll Island, Georgia; Key West, Florida; Los Angeles, California (Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, and West Hollywood); Naples, Florida; Newport, Rhode Island; Portland, Oregon; San Diego, California; San Francisco, California; Santa Cruz, California; Stevenson, Washington; and Washington, D.C.
Substantially all of the Company’s assets are held by, and all of the Company's operations are conducted through, Pebblebrook Hotel, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"). The Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. As of June 30, 2024, the Company owned 99.2 % of the common limited partnership units issued by the Operating Partnership ("common units"). The remaining 0.8 % of the common units are owned by the other limited partners of the Operating Partnership. For the Company to maintain its qualification as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), it cannot operate the hotels it owns. Therefore, the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries lease the hotel properties to subsidiaries of Pebblebrook Hotel Lessee, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, "PHL"), a taxable REIT subsidiary ("TRS"), which in turn engage third-party eligible independent contractors to manage the hotels. PHL is consolidated into the Company’s financial statements.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and in conformity with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable to interim financial information. As such, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. These unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, consolidated statements of equity and consolidated statements of cash flows for the periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full-year performance, as a result of the impact of seasonal and other short-term variations and the acquisitions and or dispositions of hotel properties. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
The Company and its subsidiaries are separate legal entities and maintain records and books of account separate and apart from each other. The consolidated financial statements include all of the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries and are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in entities that the Company does not control, but over which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence regarding operating and financial policies, are accounted for under the equity method.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period's financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and revenues and expenses. These estimates are prepared using management’s best judgment, after considering past, current and expected events and economic conditions. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Risks and Uncertainties
The state of the overall economy can significantly impact hotel operational performance and thus the Company's financial position. Global events as well as national and local events may impact travel trends and the operations of the Company's hotels. In addition, inflation and interest rates may also impact the overall economy as well as the availability of debt. A decline in travel or a significant increase in costs may impact the Company's cash flow and ability to service debt or meet other financial obligations.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Disclosure Improvements
In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC's Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative ("ASU 2023-06"). ASU 2023-06 incorporates 14 of the 27 disclosure requirements published in SEC Release No. 33-10532 - Disclosure Update and Simplification into various topics within the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"). ASU 2023-06's amendments represent clarifications to, or technical corrections of, current requirements. For SEC registrants, the effective date for each amendment will vary based on the date on which the SEC removes that related disclosure from its rules. If the SEC does not act to remove its related requirement by June 30, 2027, any related FASB amendments will be removed from the ASC and will not be effective. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently assessing the potential impacts of ASU 2023-06 and does not expect it to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Segment Reporting
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"). ASU 2023-07 expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. All disclosure requirements under ASU 2023-07 are also required for public entities with a single reportable segment. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the impacts of adopting ASU 2023-07 on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Income Taxes
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"). ASU 2023-09 requires entities to disclose disaggregated information about their effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis, with the option to apply retrospectively. The Company is currently assessing the impacts of adopting ASU 2023-09 on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Stock Compensation
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards (“ASU 2024-01”), to clarify the scope application of profits interest and similar awards by adding illustrative guidance in ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation ("ASC 718"). ASU 2024-01 clarifies how to determine whether profits interest and similar awards should be accounted for as a share-based payment arrangement (ASC 718) or as a cash bonus or profit-sharing arrangement (ASC 710, Compensation—General, or other guidance ) and applies to all reporting entities that account for profits interest awards as compensation to employees or non-employees. In addition to adding the illustrative guidance, ASU 2024-01 modified the language in paragraph 718-10-15-3 to improve its clarity and operability without changing the guidance. ASU 2024-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied either retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements, or prospectively to profits interests and similar awards granted or modified on or after the adoption date. The Company is currently assessing the impacts of adopting ASU 2024-01 on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income included operating loss of $ 0.5 million and $ 1.8 million, respectively, excluding impairment loss and gain on sale of hotel properties related to the hotel properties sold or held for sale. There was no impact for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
The sales of the hotel properties described above did not represent a strategic shift that had a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results, and therefore, did not qualify as discontinued operations.

Hurricane Ian
On September 27, 2022, LaPlaya Beach Resort & Club ("LaPlaya") located in Naples, Florida, was impacted by the effects of Hurricane Ian. LaPlaya was closed in anticipation of the storm and required remediation and repairs from the damage and remained closed. In 2023, LaPlaya began to reopen in stages as the buildings and facilities were repaired and was substantially complete in the first quarter of 2024.
The Company’s insurance policies provide coverage for property damage, business interruption and reimbursement for other costs that were incurred relating to damages sustained during Hurricane Ian and the Company has recorded a receivable for the expenditures to date which it anticipates to collect from the insurance providers in excess of the deductibles.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred $ 0.2 million and $ 4.1 million, respectively, of costs related to payroll, repair and claims administration for which reimbursement from insurance policies is uncertain and therefore is included in other operating expenses in the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Through June 30, 2024, the Company received a total of $ 117.5 million in preliminary advances from the insurance providers. The Company continues to work with the insurance providers on the settlement of the property and business interruption claims.

Impairment
The Company reviews its investment in hotel properties for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate potential impairment. The Company periodically adjusts its estimate of future operating cash flows and estimated hold periods for certain properties. As a result of this review, the Company may identify an impairment trigger has occurred and assess its investment in hotel properties for recoverability.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, no impairment losses were incurred.
Right-of-use Assets and Lease Liabilities
The Company recognized right-of-use assets and related liabilities related to its ground leases, all of which are operating leases. When the rate implicit in the lease could not be determined, the Company used incremental borrowing rates, which ranged from 4.7 % to 7.6 %. In addition, the term used includes any options to exercise extensions when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise such option. See Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies for additional information about the ground leases.
The right-of-use assets and liabilities are amortized to ground rent expense over the term of the underlying lease agreements. As of June 30, 2024, the Company's lease liabilities consisted of operating lease liabilities of $ 320.7 million and financing lease liabilities of $ 43.7 million. As of December 31, 2023, the Company's lease liabilities consisted of operating lease liabilities of $ 320.6 million and financing lease liabilities of $ 43.4 million. The financing lease liabilities are included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Company's accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Note 5. Debt
On October 13, 2022, the Company entered into the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and certain other agents and lenders ("Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement provides for a $ 650.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility and three $ 460.0 million unsecured term loan facilities totaling $ 1.38 billion. The Company may request additional lender commitments to increase the aggregate borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement up to an additional $ 970.0 million.
On January 3, 2024, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement which extended the maturity date of $ 356.7 million borrowed under Term Loan 2024 to January 2028. This extended indebtedness is referred to as Term Loan 2028. In connection with the extension, the Company also repaid $ 60.0 million of its borrowings under Term Loan 2024 with available cash. The remaining $ 43.3 million of Term Loan 2024's balance will continue to mature in October 2024 and will be paid with available cash or borrowings under the revolving credit facility at maturity. On January 3, 2024, the Company also repaid $ 50.0 million of its outstanding Term Loan 2025 obligation with available cash.

(1) Borrowings bear interest at floating rates. Interest rate at June 30, 2024 gives effect to interest rate hedges.
(2) The Company has the option to extend the maturity date for up to two six-month periods, pursuant to certain terms and conditions and payment of an extension fee.
(3) This loan bears interest at a floating rate equal to daily SOFR plus a spread of 3.75 %. The interest rate at June 30, 2024 gives effect to an interest rate swap. The Company has the option to extend the maturity date for up to two one-year periods, pursuant to certain terms and conditions and payment of an extension fee.
Unsecured Revolving Credit Facilities
The $ 650.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility provided for in the Credit Agreement matures in October 2026 and provides for two six-month extension options, subject to certain terms and conditions and payment of an extension fee. All borrowings under the senior unsecured revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of the Company, (i) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 0.10 % (the “SOFR Adjustment”) plus a margin that is based upon the Company’s leverage ratio or (ii) the Base Rate (as defined by the Credit Agreement) plus a margin that is based on the Company’s leverage ratio. The margins for revolving credit facility loans range in amount from 1.45 % to 2.50 % for SOFR-based loans and 0.45 % to 1.50 % for Base Rate-based loans, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had no outstanding borrowings, $ 13.7 million of outstanding letters of credit and a borrowing capacity of $ 636.3 million remaining on the senior unsecured revolving credit facility. The Company is required to pay an unused commitment fee at an annual rate of 0.20 % or 0.30 % of the unused portion of the senior unsecured revolving credit facility, depending on the amount of borrowings outstanding. The credit agreement contains certain financial covenants, including a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a maximum percentage of secured debt to total asset value.
Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, one or more standby letters of credit, up to a maximum aggregate outstanding balance of $ 30.0 million, may be issued on behalf of the Company by the lenders under the senior unsecured revolving facility. The Company pays a fee for outstanding standby letters of credit at a rate per annum equal to the applicable margin based upon the Company's leverage ratio. Any outstanding standby letters of credit reduce the available borrowings on the senior unsecured revolving credit facility by a corresponding amount. Standby letters of credit of $ 13.7 million and $ 13.6 million were outstanding as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Table of Contents
As of June 30, 2024, the Company also has a $ 20.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the "PHL Credit Facility") to be used for PHL's working capital and general corporate purposes. On October 13, 2022, PHL amended and restated the agreement governing the PHL Credit Facility to extend the maturity to October 2026. The PHL Credit Facility has substantially similar terms as the Company's senior unsecured revolving credit facility. Borrowings on the PHL Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of the Company, (i) SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment plus a margin that is based upon the Company’s leverage ratio or (ii) the Base Rate (as defined by the Credit Agreement) plus a margin that is based on the Company’s leverage ratio. The PHL Credit Facility is subject to debt covenants substantially similar to the covenants under the Credit Agreement, which governs the Company's senior unsecured revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had no borrowings under the PHL Credit Facility and had $ 20.0 million borrowing capacity remaining available under the PHL Credit Facility.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants of the credit agreements that govern the unsecured revolving credit facilities.
Unsecured Term Loan Facilities
As of June 30, 2024, the term loans provided for in the Credit Agreement will mature as follows: $ 43.3 million in October 2024 (Term Loan 2024), $ 410.0 million in October 2025 (Term Loan 2025), $ 460.0 million in October 2027 (Term Loan 2027) and $ 356.7 million in January 2028 (Term Loan 2028). The term loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of the Company, (i) SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment plus a margin that is based upon the Company’s leverage ratio or (ii) the Base Rate (as defined by the Credit Agreement) plus a margin that is based on the Company’s leverage ratio. The margins for term loans range in amount from 1.40 % to 2.45 % for SOFR-based loans and 0.40 % to 1.45 % for Base Rate-based loans, depending on the Company's leverage ratio. The term loans are subject to the debt covenants in the Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants of its term loans.
The Company entered into interest rate swap agreements to fix the SOFR rate on a portion of these unsecured term loan facilities. See Derivative and Hedging Activities for further discussion on the interest rate swaps.
Convertible Senior Notes
In December 2020, the Company issued $ 500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.75 % Convertible Senior Notes due December 2026 (the "Convertible Notes"). The net proceeds from the offering of the Convertible Notes were approximately $ 487.3 million after deducting the underwriting fees and other expenses paid by the Company.
In February 2021, the Company issued an additional $ 250.0 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes. These additional Convertible Notes were sold at a 5.5 % premium to par and generated net proceeds of approximately $ 257.2 million after deducting the underwriting fees and other expenses paid by the Company of $ 6.5 million, which was offset by a premium received in the amount of $ 13.8 million.
The Convertible Notes are governed by an indenture (the “Base Indenture”) between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 1.75 % per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15th and December 15th of each year, beginning on June 15, 2021. The Convertible Notes will mature on December 15, 2026.
Prior to June 15, 2026, the Convertible Notes will be convertible upon certain circumstances. On and after June 15, 2026, holders may convert any of their Convertible Notes into the Company’s common shares of beneficial interest (“common shares”) at the applicable conversion rate at any time at their election two days prior to the maturity date. The initial conversion rate is 39.2549 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $ 25.47 per share. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the if-converted value of the Convertible Notes did not exceed the principal amount.
The Company may redeem for cash all or a portion of the Convertible Notes, at its option, after December 20, 2023, upon certain circumstances. The redemption price will be equal to 100 % of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. If certain make-whole fundamental changes occur, the conversion rate for the Convertible Notes may be increased.
In connection with the Convertible Notes issuances, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “Capped Call Transactions”) with certain of the underwriters of the offerings of the Convertible Notes or their respective affiliates and other financial institutions. The Capped Call Transactions initially cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the Convertible Notes, the number of common shares underlying the Convertible Notes. The Capped Call Transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to holders of common shares upon conversion of the Convertible Notes and/or offset the potential cash payments that the Company could be required to make in excess of the principal amount of any converted Convertible Notes upon conversion thereof, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. The upper strike price of the Capped Call Transactions is $ 33.0225 per share.

Senior Unsecured Notes
The Company has $ 2.4 million of senior unsecured notes outstanding bearing a fixed interest rate of 4.93 % per annum maturing in December 2025. The debt covenants of these notes are substantially similar to those of the Company's senior unsecured revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all such debt covenants.
Mortgage Loans
On September 23, 2021, the Company assumed a $ 161.5 million loan secured by a first-lien mortgage on the leasehold interest of Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort ("Margaritaville"). On September 7, 2023, the Company paid down $ 21.5 million of this loan and refinanced the remaining $ 140.0 million balance. The new loan requires interest-only payments based on a floating rate equal to daily SOFR plus a spread of 3.75 %. This loan matures on September 7, 2026 and may be extended for up to two one-year periods, subject to certain terms and conditions and payment of an extension fee.
On December 1, 2021, the Company assumed a $ 61.7 million loan secured by a first-lien mortgage on the leasehold interest of Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa ("Estancia"). The loan requires both principal and interest monthly payments based on a fixed interest rate of 5.07 %. The loan matures on September 1, 2028.
The Company's mortgage loans associated with Margaritaville and Estancia are non-recourse to the Company except for customary carve-outs to the general non-recourse liability. The loans contain customary provisions regarding events of default, as well as customary cash management, cash trap and lockbox provisions. Cash trap provisions are triggered if the hotel's performance is below a certain threshold. Once triggered, all of the cash flow generated by the hotel is deposited directly into lockbox accounts and then swept into cash management accounts for the benefit of the lender. These properties are not in a cash trap and no event of default has occurred under the loan documents.
Interest Expense
The components of the Company's interest expense consisted of the following for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):

Total interest expense $ 27,939 $ 29,544 $ 54,360 $ 56,974
Fair Value
The Company estimates the fair value of its fixed rate debt by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at estimated market rates, taking into consideration general market conditions and maturity of the debt with similar credit terms and is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The estimated fair value of the Company’s fixed rate debt (unsecured senior notes, convertible senior notes and the Estancia mortgage loan) as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $ 691.6 million and $ 686.3 million, respectively.
Derivative and Hedging Activities
The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to hedge against interest rate fluctuations. All of the Company's interest rate swaps are cash flow hedges. All unrealized gains and losses on these hedging instruments are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.

The Company's interest rate swaps at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 consisted of the following, by maturity date (dollars in thousands):

Swap-cash flow 3.29 %
October 2027 165,000 165,000
Total $ 855,000 $ 1,155,000
The Company records all derivative instruments at fair value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Fair values of interest rate swaps and caps are determined using the standard market methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts/payments and the discounted expected variable cash payments/receipts. Variable interest rates used in the calculation of projected receipts and payments on the swaps are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves (Overnight Index Swap curves) and volatilities (Level 2 inputs). Derivatives expose the Company to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties under the terms of the interest rate hedge agreements. The Company incorporates these counterparty credit risks in its fair value measurements. The Company believes it minimizes the credit risk by transacting with major creditworthy financial institutions.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company's derivative instruments were in an asset position with an aggregate fair value of $ 29.5 million. None of the Company's derivative instruments was in a liability position as of June 30, 2024. Derivative assets are included in prepaid expenses and other assets and derivative liabilities are included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company expects approximately $ 19.9 million will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to interest expense within the next 12 months.

Non-controlling Interest of Common Units in Operating Partnership

Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies
Hotel Management Agreements
The Company’s hotel properties are operated pursuant to management agreements with various management companies. The remaining terms of these management agreements are up to 10 years, not including renewals, and up to 28 years, including renewals. The majority of the Company’s management agreements are terminable at will by the Company upon paying a termination fee and some are terminable by the Company upon sale of the property, with, in some cases, the payment of termination fees. Most of the agreements also provide the Company the ability to terminate based on failure to achieve defined operating performance thresholds. Termination fees range from zero to up to three times the annual base management and incentive management fees, depending on the agreement and the reason for termination. Certain of the Company’s management agreements are non-terminable except upon the manager’s breach of a material representation or the manager’s failure to meet performance thresholds as defined in the management agreement.
The management agreements require the payment of a base management fee generally between 1 % and 4 % of hotel revenues. Under certain management agreements, the management companies are also eligible to receive an incentive management fee if hotel operating income, cash flows or other performance measures, as defined in the agreements, exceed certain performance thresholds. The incentive management fee is generally calculated as a percentage of hotel operating income after the Company has received a priority return on its investment in the hotel.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, combined base and incentive management fees were $ 11.2 million and $ 19.2 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, combined base and incentive management fees were $ 10.8 million and $ 18.8 million, respectively. Base and incentive management fees are included in other direct and indirect expenses in the Company's accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
Reserve Funds
Certain of the Company’s agreements with its hotel managers, franchisors, ground lessors and lenders have provisions for the Company to provide funds, typically 4.0 % of hotel revenues, sufficient to cover the cost of (a) certain non-routine repairs and maintenance to the hotels and (b) replacements and renewals to the hotels’ furniture, fixtures and equipment.
Restricted Cash
At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $ 9.5 million and $ 9.9 million, respectively, in restricted cash, which consisted of funds held in cash management accounts held by a lender, reserves for replacement of furniture and fixtures, and reserves to pay for real estate taxes, ground rent or property insurance under certain hotel management agreements or loan agreements.
