If our franchisees terminate or fail to renew their relationship with our company, our franchise revenue will decline.
 
As of December 31, 2008, there were 15 hotels in our system that were owned by others and operated under franchise agreements. Franchise agreements generally specify a fixed term and contain various early termination provisions, such as the right to terminate upon notice by paying us a termination fee. We cannot assure shareholders that these agreements will be renewed, or that they will not be terminated prior to the end of their respective terms.
 
All franchised hotels were required to meet Red Lion upscale brand standards by the end of 2007. The majority of hotels met the standards by the end of 2007, while some are still in the process of completing renovations. We believe as of December 31, 2008, all but two of our current franchisees are either in full compliance with our enhanced brand standards or making sufficient progress. Subsequent to December 31, 2008, one of those franchisees — located in Winnemucca, Nevada — had its franchise agreement expire and it was not renewed. That hotel has since left our system. We are monitoring the work of the other franchisees and will terminate hotels for non-compliance if satisfactory progress does not continue. If these or other franchise agreements are not renewed, or are terminated prior to the expiration of their respective terms, the resulting decrease in revenue and loss of market penetration could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

If our franchisees terminate or fail to renew their relationship with our company, our franchise revenue will decline.
 
As of December 31, 2007, there were 21 hotels in our system that were owned by others and operated under franchise agreements. Franchise agreements for three hotels expired subsequent to that date and will leave our system of hotels during 2008. In addition, one hotel under a management contract expired subsequent to that date and has since left our system of hotels.
 
Franchise agreements generally specify a fixed term and contain various early termination provisions, such as the right to terminate upon notice by paying us a termination fee. We cannot assure shareholders that these agreements will be renewed, or that they will not be terminated prior to the end of their respective terms.
 
All franchised hotels were required to meet Red Lion’s upscale brand standards by the end of 2007. Currently, we expect sixteen franchised hotels to meet our elevated brand standards. We anticipate that between two and four franchised hotels may not meet the elevated brand standards, which may result in the termination of these franchises in the first half of 2008. If these or other franchise agreements are not renewed, or are terminated prior to the expiration of their respective terms, the resulting decrease in revenue and loss of market penetration could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
