 RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.
This section of the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A describes certain relationships and related person transactions we have that could give rise to conflicts of interest. A “related transaction” is any transaction, arrangement or relationship, or series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships, since the beginning of our last fiscal year or currently proposed, in which: (i) our Company was or is to be a participant; (ii) the amount involved exceeds $120,000; and (iii) any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

A “related person” means: (i) any director, director nominee or executive officer of the Company; (ii) any person known to the Company to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of its outstanding voting stock at the time of the transaction; (iii) any immediate family member of either of the foregoing; or (iv) a firm, corporation or other entity in which any of the foregoing is a partner or principal or in a similar position or in which such person has at least a 10% equity interest.

#### Conflict of Interest Policies
We take conflicts of interest seriously and aim to ensure that transactions involving conflicts or potential conflicts are thoroughly examined and approved only by independent Board members.

Because we could be subject to various conflicts of interest arising from our relationships with Ashford Trust and Ashford Inc., including its subsidiaries Premier, Remington Hospitality and Ashford LLC, their respective affiliates and other parties, to mitigate any potential conflicts of interest, we have adopted a number of policies governing conflicts of interest. Our bylaws require that, at all times, a majority of our Board of Directors be independent directors, and our Corporate Governance Guidelines require that two-thirds of our Board of Directors be independent directors at all times that we do not have an independent chairman.

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that, in order to mitigate potential conflicts of interest, any waiver, consent, approval, modification, enforcement, or elections which the Company may make pursuant to any agreement between the Company, on the one hand, and any of the following entities, on the other hand, shall be within the exclusive discretion and control of a majority of the independent directors: (a) Ashford Trust or any of its subsidiaries; (b) Ashford Inc. or any of its
