K&E 19269107
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the Order), authorizing the Debtors to
enter into that certain Settlement Agreement, dated July 7, 2011 (the Settlement Agreement),
attached hereto as Exhibit B, by and between Debtor Innkeepers USA Limited Partnership
(Innkeepers USA LP) and NLP Furniture Industries, Inc., a California corporation (NLP
and, together with Innkeepers USA LP, the Parties), regarding a dispute over the proper terms
of a purchase of certain furniture and a prior settlement agreement related thereto. In support of
this Motion, the Debtors respectfully state as follows:
Jurisdiction
1. The United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York
(the Court) has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 157 and 1334. This
matter is a core proceeding within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. 157(b)(2).
2. Venue is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1408 and 1409.
3. The statutory bases for the relief requested herein are section 363 of title 11 of the
United States Code (the Bankruptcy Code) and Rules 6004 and 9019(a) of the Federal Rules
of Bankruptcy Procedure (the Bankruptcy Rules).
Background
4. On July 19, 2010 (the Petition Date), each of the Debtors filed a petition with
the Court under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (collectively, the Chapter 11 Cases). The
Chapter 11 Cases have been consolidated for procedural purposes only and are being jointly
administered pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 1015(b). The Debtors are operating their business and
managing their properties as debtors in possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the
Bankruptcy Code. On July 28, 2010, the United States Trustee for the Southern District of New
York (the U.S. Trustee) appointed an official committee of unsecured creditors
(the Creditors Committee).

3
K&E 19269107
5. On May 19, 2011, the Court entered an order approving the Debtors disclosure
statement and solicitation procedures [Docket No. 1441]. On June 29, 2011, the Court entered
an order confirming the Debtors plan of reorganization [Docket No. 1804].
Background
6. NLP, a furniture supplier to certain of the Debtors hotels, filed suit against
Innkeepers USA LP on January 13, 2009, in San Diego Superior Court Case No. 37-2009-
00081296-CU-BC-CTL, regarding the terms of a quote for certain furniture (the First
Lawsuit). On June 26, 2009, NLP and Innkeepers USA LP entered into a written agreement to
settle the First Lawsuit (the Original Settlement).
7. After the Parties entered into the Original Settlement, Innkeepers USA LP
contended that NLP breached the Original Settlement. As a result, Innkeepers USA LP sued
NLP in San Diego Superior Court Case No. 37-2009-00102694-CU-BC-CTL, seeking to enforce
the Original Settlement (the Second Lawsuit and, together with the First Lawsuit,
the Lawsuits). NLP answered the Second Lawsuit and denied all allegations.
8. The Debtors have a continuing need for the furniture referenced in the Lawsuits,
and the Parties settlement negotiations focused on a revised and mutually agreeable quote for
that furniture.
The Settlement Agreement
9. After good faith, arms-length negotiations, Innkeepers USA LP and NLP entered
into the Settlement Agreement to resolve the Lawsuits, consummate a transaction for certain
furniture, preserve the Parties ongoing business relationship, and avoid the expense and

4
K&E 19269107
uncertainty of litigation. In substantial part, the Settlement Agreement provides for the
following:
2

Innkeepers USA LP will purchase from NLP the items set forth in a quotation, dated
June 9, 2011 (the Quotation), at the prices set forth in the Quotation, for a total of
$61,496.00, and Innkeepers USA LP will issue a purchase order consistent with the
terms of the Quotation (the Purchase Order).
3

Within three days after Court approval of the Settlement Agreement, Innkeepers USA
LP will file a Request for Dismissal of the Second Lawsuit with prejudice.
The transaction between Innkeepers USA LP and NLP will be governed by the
language of the Purchase Order with respect to all aspects of the order not specifically
set forth in the revised quotation.
Innkeepers USA LP will pay to NLP a down payment of $36,898.00, with the
remainder to be paid upon NLPs tender of the completed furniture items to
Innkeepers USA LP.
Innkeepers USA LP will bear all shipping costs, taxes, duties, and other costs arising
from the transport of such furniture. Any furniture not picked up by Innkeepers USA
LPs shipper or courier within 30 days of NLPs tender of such furniture will be
forfeited, and NLP shall retain, sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of and/or liquidate
such remaining furniture as well as retain such proceeds, if any.
The Parties will grant each other mutual releases arising from or connected to the
Original Settlement, the Lawsuits, and/or the Parties relationship.
Relief Requested
10. By this Motion, the Debtors request the entry of an order (a) authorizing
Innkeepers USA LP to enter into the Settlement Agreement and (b) granting such other relief as
is just and proper.

2
To the extent the summary of the Settlement Agreement provided herein is inconsistent with the terms of the
Settlement Agreement, the Settlement Agreement shall control in all respects.
3
The Quotation is attached as Exhibit A to the Settlement Agreement.

5
K&E 19269107
Basis for Relief
I. The Terms of the Settlement Agreement Are Appropriate Under Section 363(b) of
the Bankruptcy Code.
11. A debtor may use, sell, or lease property of the estate after notice and a
hearing . . . other than in the ordinary course of business . . . . 11 U.S.C. 363(b)(1). The use,
sale, or lease of property of the estate, other than in the ordinary course of business, is authorized
when there is a sound business reason that justifies such action. See Comm. of Equity Sec.
Holders v. Lionel Corp. (In re Lionel Corp.), 722 F.2d 1063, 1071 (2d Cir. 1983). When a valid
business justification is articulated, the law vests the debtors decision to use, sell, or lease
property out of the ordinary course of business with a strong presumption that in making a
business decision the directors of a corporation acted on an informed basis, in good faith and in
the honest belief that the action taken was in the best interests of the company. See Official
Comm. of Subordinated Bondholders v. Integrated Res., Inc. (In re Integrated Res., Inc.),
147 BR. 650, 656 (S.D.N.Y. 1992). The business judgment rule has vitality in chapter 11 cases
and shields a debtors management from judicial second-guessing. Id.; see Comm. of Asbestos
Related Litigants and/or Creditors v. Johns-Manville Corp. (In re Johns-Manville Corp.), 60
B.R. 612, 615-16 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1986) ([T]he Code favors the continued operation of a
business by a debtor and a presumption of reasonableness attaches to a debtors management
decisions).
12. Once a debtor articulates a valid business justification for its actions, courts in the
Second Circuit give great deference to the substance of the directors decision and will not
invalidate the decision, will not examine its reasonableness, and will not substitute its views for
those of the board if the latters decision can be attributed to any rational business purpose. In
re Global Crossing Ltd., 295 B.R. 726, 744 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 2003) (citing Paramount

6
K&E 19269107
Commcns Inc. v. QVC Network Inc., 637 A.2d 34, 45 n.17 (Del. 1994)); In re Johns-Manville
Corp., 60 B.R. at 616. Thus, if a debtors actions satisfy the business judgment rule, then the
transaction in question should be approved and authorized under section 363(b)(1).
13. The Debtors believe, in their reasonable business judgment, that the proposed
resolution of the Lawsuits as set forth in the Settlement Agreement is appropriate under the
circumstances. The Debtors believe the consideration provided by each of the Parties pursuant
to the Settlement Agreement constitutes a fair resolution of the Parties views and a fair
Quotation for the furniture at issue. And the Settlement Agreement allows the Parties to
continue their mutually beneficial business relationship. Finally, the Settlement Agreement
permits the Debtors to avoid the uncertainty and expense of litigation that would require the
investment of time and resources by the Debtors managementtime more appropriately spent
focused on the Debtors ongoing efforts to conclude the Chapter 11 Cases. Accordingly, the
Debtors respectfully submit that entry into the Settlement Agreement is a sound exercise of the
Debtors reasonable business judgment.
II. The Court Has the Authority to Approve the Settlement Agreement under
Bankruptcy Rule 9019.
14. Bankruptcy Rule 9019(a) provides that [o]n motion by the [debtor in possession]
and after notice and a hearing, the court may approve a compromise or settlement. Fed. R.
Bankr. P. 9019(a). In granting a motion pursuant to Rule 9019(a), a court must find that the
proposed settlement is fair and equitable and in the best interests of the estate. Protective Comm.
for Indep. Stockholders of TMT Trailer Ferry, Inc. v. Anderson, 390 U.S. 414, 424 (1968);
Fisher v. Pereira (In re 47-49 Charles St., Inc.), 209 B.R. 618, 620 (S.D.N.Y. 1997); Airline
Pilots Assn, Intl v. Am. Natl Bank and Trust Co. of Chicago (In re Ionospheres Clubs), Inc.,
156 B.R. 414, 426 (S.D.N.Y. 1993), affd 17 F.3d 600 (2d Cir. 1994).

7
K&E 19269107
15. The decision to approve a particular settlement lies within the sound discretion of
the bankruptcy court. Nellis v. Shugrue, 165 B.R. 115, 122 (S.D.N.Y. 1994). It is the
responsibility of the court to examine a settlement and determine whether it falls below the
lowest point in the range of reasonableness. Cosoff v. Rodman, (In re W.T. Grant Co.), 699
F.2d 599, 608 (2d Cir. 1983); In re Spielfogel, 211 B.R. 133, 144 (Bankr. E.D.N.Y. 1997).
Additionally, a court may exercise its discretion in light of the general public policy favoring
settlements. In re Hibbard Brown & Co., 217 B.R. 41, 46 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1998).
16. While a court must evaluate . . . all . . . factors relevant to a full and fair
assessment of the wisdom of the proposed compromise, Anderson, 390 U.S. at 424-25, a court
need not conduct a mini-trial of the merits of the claims being settled, W.T. Grant Co., 699 F.2d
at 608, or conduct a full independent investigation. In re Drexel Burnham Lambert Group, Inc.,
134 B.R. 493, 496 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1991). [T]he bankruptcy judge does not have to decide the
numerous questions of law and fact . . . . The court need only canvass the settlement to
determine whether it is within the acceptable range of reasonableness. Nellis, 165 B.R. at 123
(internal citations omitted).
17. The Debtors respectfully submit that the Settlement Agreement is fair and
equitable and in the best interests of the estates. First, the Debtors carefully negotiated the
Settlement Agreement at arms length and in good faith. Second, the Debtors believe in their
reasonable business judgment that the terms of the Quotation are reasonable. Third, the Debtors
have a continuing need for NLPs furniture, and the Settlement Agreement allows the Parties to
resume their mutually beneficial business relationship. Finally, as discussed above, the
Settlement Agreement allows the Debtors to avoid costly, uncertain litigation that would demand
time and resources of the Debtors management and professionals more appropriately spent on

8
K&E 19269107
matters central to the Debtors emergence from chapter 11. Accordingly, the Debtors submit the
terms of the Settlement Agreement satisfy the Second Circuits standard for approving a
compromise and respectfully request that the Court approve the Settlement Agreement.
Motion Practice
18. This Motion includes citations to the applicable rules and statutory authorities
upon which the relief requested herein is predicated and a discussion of their application to this
Motion. Accordingly, the Debtors submit that this Motion satisfies Rule 9013-1(a) of the Local
Bankruptcy Rules for the Southern District of New York.
Waiver of Bankruptcy Rule 6004(a) and 6004(h)
19. To implement the foregoing successfully, the Debtors seek a waiver of the notice
requirements under Bankruptcy Rule 6004(a) and the 14-day stay of an order authorizing the use,
sale, or lease of a property under Bankruptcy Rule 6004(h).
The Debtors Reservation of Rights
20. Nothing in the Motion or the Order shall be deemed or construed as: (a) an
admission as to the validity or priority of any claim against the Debtors; (b) a waiver of the
Debtors rights to dispute any claim; or (c) an approval or assumption of any agreement,
contract, or lease pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code.
Notice
21. The Debtors have provided notice of this Motion consistent with the Confirmation
Order [Docket No. 1804], which is available at www.omnimgt.com/innkeepers, the website
maintained by Omni Management Group, LLC, the Debtors notice and claims agent. The
Debtors respectfully submit that no further notice is necessary.

9
K&E 19269107
No Prior Request
22. No prior motion for the relief requested herein has been made to this or any other
court.


K&E 19269107
WHEREFORE, the Debtors respectfully request that the Court enter an order,
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, granting the relief requested herein and
granting such other relief as is just and proper.

FINISHES
Woods and veneers have inherent disparities in color and grain pattern and NLP does not warranty color, grain, or texture
of wood or veneers.
Applying a dear, non-colored finish does not allow for staining, shading, nor uniforming that would otherwise provide a
more consistent, uniform appearance. Matching of the graining or natural coloration of the wood with a dear finish is
neither implied nor guaranteed. While our catalyzed finish system contains W inhibitors, protection is afforded to the
coating not the substrate. Hence the Alder or Maple substrate when finished in Clear Satin will have a tendency to "brown
or yellow out" when exposed to direct sunlight.
We use a minimum of 3 coats: sealer, stain and lacquer; sanded between coats. Special finishes are available at
additional cost. Please submit a sample for quote. CUstom finish samples will be provided on request at a charge of
$125.00 on all orders less than 100 chairs. Rnishes are an approximation and will naturally vary slightly with specific
wood lots and grain.
FREIGHT
All shipments are dock to dock. NLP may arrange for third party billing on freight charges for customers with open
accounts but will assume no responsibility for collection of freight charges or damages caused in freight Delivery date is
subject to change due to strikes, accidents, weather, availability of supplies and labor, economic conditions and other
causes beyond our immediate control. NLP may stop and or hold shipment if payment terms, account status or credit
status are not satisfactory.
SHIPPING
Plastic Bagged - Blanket Wrapped- STANDARD. Cartoning and crating is additional.
FREIGHT CLAIMS AND REPAIRS
All sales are made FOB Destination. Title to the product passes to the purchaser upon pick up of the products by the
