Beginning in 2005, our independent directors receive $25,000 annually, payable $6,250 quarterly, and also $1,000 for each Board meeting attended and $750 for each committee meeting attended. The Audit Committee Chairman receives an additional $5,000 annually and all other chairs receive an additional $3,500 annually. Directors who elect to be paid in shares of our common stock instead of cash receive a 25% premium over the fees stated above. The Company also reimburses all directors for their out-of-pocket expenses in connection with their service on our Board. The Compensation Committee also set goals upon which 2005 bonuses will be paid for all of our executive officers. For Howard A. Silver and J. Mitchell Collins, these executive officers are eligible to receive a bonus in an amount equal to up to 100% of their annual salaries. Any 2005 bonuses paid to these executive officers will be based on the achievement of the Company's ranking of total shareholder return as compared to a peer group of hotel REITs and the achievement of certain annual adjusted funds from operations targets. The remaining executive officers are eligible to receive a bonus in an amount equal to up to 50% of their annual salaries, based on predetermined corporate and individual goals.
