relates to the offer by Kalmia Investors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company ("Kalmia" or the "Purchaser"), and Merced Partners Limited Partnership,
Smithtown Bay, LLC, Global Capital Management, Inc., John D. Brandenborg and
Michael J. Frey, to purchase up to 50,000 units of limited partnership interest
("Units") of Westin Hotels Limited Partnership, a Delaware Limited Partnership
