3. About HotelRooms.com About HotelRooms.com HotelRooms.com markets the hospitality industry and lodging properties to thousands of travel planners in a non-bias platform.HotelRooms.com is a unique and refined conduit for feeding targeted web traffic directly into hotel property websites. With a combination of our powerful domain name, unparalleled travel research tools, and optimized website architecture, we have been successful in capturing the destination/brand driven web traffic that is prevalent in today’s major search engines. Having effectively outranked the major national hotel chains in search engine placement for both geographical, as well as brand name queries, we are uniquely positioned to provide hotel partners with an immediate boost in targeted traffic, resulting in increased brand recognition and higher Internet-based revenue. We deliver all of our customers directly to hotel websites to see prices as well as execute a reservation. HotelRooms.com does not collect any personal data or information from users of our service. We do not require a username and password (a simple process used to collect such data). These decisions were made based on the premise dictated by our business model - unobtrusively delivering "internet travelers" to hotel websites. This formula satisfies both sides of the equation - the customer can find a room, and begin booking it in under a minute, and the hotel receives fresh, unique visitors to their website. It is a worthwhile idea to consider the differences in cost among some of the standard forms of online marketing such as the pay-per-click search engine programs. An important factor is that the quality of each lead differs based on its source. HotelRooms.com offers only one product - hotel rooms. People who visit our site are not looking for any other product, and have already made a decision to research hotels. A large number of these folks find our site through some of the world's largest search engines and directories, where HotelRooms.com currently holds top 10 positions for some of the most competitive hospitality-related queries. We are very confident that a referral from our site that clicks onto a hotel listing within our search engine is the most highly qualified, targeted lead possible. This is a person who voluntarily typed in a destination and chose one of the relevant results displayed to him. All of these results are listings pointing directly to each hotel's site, and they are not presented or perceived as advertisements. This results in a very positive user experience - one where the user is in control and no sales pitch is being presented. We feel that empowering the traveler and providing clear-cut, direct and highly relevant content results in a unique experience ensuring the maximum comfort level for making an online reservation. Overall, our business model has allowed HotelRooms.com to fill a unique niche in the online hospitality industry.  Our success can be also measured by the endorsement of hotel members such as Hilton Hotels Corporation, Best Western International, La Quinta, Adam's Mark Hotels and Resorts, U.S. Franchise Systems, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, Kimpton Group, Loews Hotels, and many more.  We look forward to giving your hotels an unmatched level of service, commitment, and performance, which will make HotelRooms.com your number one online marketing channel. HotelRooms.com does not collect any commissions and does not request inventory in order to sell rooms. SECTION 1.3: About HotelRooms.com HOTELROOMS.COM – The Official Hotel Search Engine

15. Member Testimonials– US Franchise Systems US FRANCHISE SYSTEMS, INC.Ms. Allison Solomon - Director of Electronic Marketing Was joining HotelRooms.com a positive experience for US Franchise Systems? We have been endorsing HotelRooms.com to our franchised hotels for over one year now and have had very good results with driving traffic to our web sites. The staff at HotelRooms.com is always willing to go the extra mile to provide our hotels with whatever they need. Did you experience a noticeable increase in web traffic on a per-property basis from HotelRooms.com? Unfortunately we are unable to track traffic for specific hotels as our web pages are dynamically generated. However, HotelRooms.com is our 12th largest referring site for the Microtel brand. How does our service compare to other travel sites? (Customer service, effectiveness, performance, etc.) I have always found it easy to reach a ‘live body’ at HotelRooms.com something I can not say for some of the other travel web sites. Is HotelRooms.com a cost-effective distribution channel for your properties? Yes! Our per month fee works out to be lower than most of our CPM’s on other web sites and we’re capturing individuals who are looking to book and directing them to our site. Was it easy or difficult to implement all of your properties into HotelRooms.com? Because we are franchise owned and operated, we have not mandated participation in HotelRooms.com. However, the program has been well received by many of our hotels and reportedly implementation has been smooth and problem free. How would you rate the customer service response time for updates or changes that are requested? (Modifying hotel listings, descriptions, URL addresses, hotel specials, etc…) Unfortunately, I can not rate this as each hotel deals directly with HotelRooms.com. However, my experiences from a corporate level have been positive and all requests have always been responded to quickly. Would you recommend this service to other hotels, resorts, casinos, etc.?? Yes I would recommend that any hotel in a major market participate in HotelRooms.com. SECTION 1.15: Member Testimonials HOTELROOMS.COM – The Official Hotel Search Engine

16. Member Testimonials– Kimpton Group KIMPTON GROUP HOTELS  Mr. Jimmy Suh, Corporate Director of Revenue Marketing Was joining HotelRooms.com a positive experience for Kimpton Group hotels? " Not only has partnering with HotelRooms.com been a positive experience; it has been “painless” as well “ Did you experience a noticeable increase in web traffic on a per-property basis from HotelRooms.com?" HotelRooms.com in a relatively short period of time (couple of months) has become one of our top search links to our individual hotels’ websites and the Kimpton Group’s website. The traffic has definitely increased throughout every market. “ How does our service compare to other travel sites? (Customer service, effectiveness, performance, etc.) " The service HotelRooms.com has been excellent. They have delivered as promised from the initial set up to continually working with the hotels in enhancing the positioning on their website “ Is HotelRooms.com a cost-effective distribution channel for your properties? HotelRooms.com distribution channel is the idea way of complementing your brand strategy because it strengthens your hotel’s differentiation and does not take away from it like several other popular travel sites today. The distribution channel is very cost effective because it allows the viewer to book directly on your website (should your website have the capability). Was it easy or difficult to implement all of your properties into HotelRooms.com? The implementation was incredibly simple. HotelRooms.com takes the lead and it’s as easy as providing your URL and not much more.  Would you recommend this service to other hotels? I would highly recommend HotelRooms.com services to other hotels. SECTION 1.16: Member Testimonials HOTELROOMS.COM – The Official Hotel Search Engine

17. Member Testimonials – Fairmont Hotels & Resorts FAIRMONT HOTELS AND RESORTSJens Thraenhart – Director, Internet Strategy Was joining HotelRooms.com a positive experience for Fairmont Hotels & Resorts? Joining HotelRooms.com has been quite positive. It is important for the Fairmont brand to be represented on web sites that attract our target audience and HotelRooms.com meets that objective. Furthermore, under their business model, users are linked through to our branded site, which complements our primary online strategy. Having a user arrive on www.fairmont.com allows the guest to see our product in a format that we’re comfortable with. It also exposes them to our unique online experience, which hopefully leads to increased brand awareness and increased bookings. This ultimately leads to customer retention and loyalty to Fairmont Hotels & Resorts. How does our service compare to other travel sites? (Customer service, effectiveness, performance, etc.) Working with Avi (Goldstein) and his team has been quite enjoyable and effortless. Is HotelRooms.com a cost-effective distribution channel for your properties? Every site that directs relevant traffic to Fairmont.com in a cost-effective manner is attractive to us. We generally prefer to work with companies that offer performance-based business models; however, the annual subscription fee for placement on HotelRooms.com was reasonable enough to make an exception. Based on the traffic generated, the site is quite competitive with other performance-based opportunities. Was it easy or difficult to implement all of your properties into HotelRooms.com? The HotelRooms.com team has been very professional, responsive and pleasant to work with. We were particularly impressed with the Fairmont banners and other creative that they developed during the set-up phase. When dealing with third parties, branding and appropriate positioning is also a concern but their team delivered a product that speaks to the luxury experience that Fairmont provides. To sum up the experience, building your hotel profiles takes a little bit of time; however, the extra time that is needed to pull the appropriate information together is worth the investment and their team is ready and willing to help wherever they can. Would you recommend this service to other hotels, resorts, casinos, hotel companies, etc.?? We would recommend HotelRooms.com to other hotels without hesitation. If reservation fulfillment through your own site is a priority, HotelRooms.com can help support that goal. We believe that participation leads to improvements in online brand awareness.
