HUDSON HOTELS TRUST

COMMON SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

----------
Hudson Hotels Trust (the "Company") is a self-advised Maryland real estate
investment trust, formed in April 1998, that intends to qualify as a real
estate investment trust ("REIT") for federal income tax purposes. Upon
completion of the Formation Transactions (described herein), the Company,
through Hudson Hotels Limited Partnership, L.P. (the "Partnership"), will own
29 existing hotels with 3,558 rooms (the "Initial Hotels"), including 26
Fairfield Inn(R) by Marriott hotels with a total of 3,179 rooms and one Hampton
Inn(R) hotel, one Comfort Suites(R) hotel and one Holiday Inn(R) hotel with a
total of 379 rooms. The Initial Hotels have an average age of approximately
nine years and will be leased to a wholly-owned subsidiary (the "Lessee") of
Hudson Hotels Corporation (the "Strategic Partner"), a publicly-owned company
whose common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol
"HUDS." The Company's business strategy is to acquire stabilized hotels that
the Company believes are undervalued by prevailing market conditions and offer
the potential for high current rates of return to the Company, a substantial
dividend to the Company's shareholders, and long term increases in value. To
facilitate its strategy, the Company will enter into a 10-year strategic
alliance agreement (the "Strategic Alliance") with the Strategic Partner. See
"Strategic Alliance."

All of the Common Shares of Beneficial Interest, par value $.01 per share
(the "Common Shares"), offered hereby (the "Offering") are being offered by the
Company. Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the Common
Shares. The Company intends to apply to list the Common Shares on the New York
Stock Exchange under the symbol "HHT." The initial public offering price per
share is expected to be $10.00. See "Underwriting" for a discussion of factors
to be considered in establishing the initial public offering price. The Company
initially intends to make regular quarterly distributions to its shareholders
of $.23125 per share, which, on an annualized basis would be equal to $.925 per
share or 9.25% of the anticipated initial public offering price of $10.00. To
insure compliance with certain requirements related to qualification of the
Company as a REIT, the Company's Declaration of Trust generally limits the
number of Common Shares that may be owned by any single shareholder or
affiliated group to 9.9% of the outstanding Common Shares. See "Risk Factors--
Anti-takeover Effect of Ownership Limit, Staggered Board, Power To Issue
Additional Shares and Certain Provisions of Maryland Law" and "Description of
Shares of Beneficial Interest--Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer."

SEE "RISK FACTORS" BEGINNING ON PAGE 19 FOR CERTAIN FACTORS RELEVANT TO AN
INVESTMENT IN THE COMMON SHARES, INCLUDING, AMONG OTHERS:

. the Company's lack of control over the daily operations of its hotels due
to tax restrictions that prevent REITs from operating hotels;

. the Company's dependence on rent payments from the Lessee for
substantially all of the Company's income and the Strategic Partner's
ability to manage a significant increase in the number of its managed
hotels;

. the Company's lack of experience operating as a REIT, and the fact that
the Company and the Partnership are newly formed entities;

. adverse developments with respect to the Fairfield Inn by Marriott
franchise brand, under which approximately 90% of the Initial Hotels
operate, which could reduce the Company's cash available for distribution
to its shareholders;

. conflicts of interest between the Company and certain of its officers and
trustees, who also serve as officers and directors of the Strategic
Partner, including conflicting demands on management time;

. tax risks, including taxation of the Company as a regular corporation if
it fails to qualify as a REIT, which could reduce materially the Company's
cash available for distribution to its shareholders; and

. the effect of economic and other conditions which may adversely affect
real estate investments or the hospitality industry generally, and, more
particularly, the revenue of the Initial Hotels and the Lessee's ability
to make lease payments from the operation of the Initial Hotels.

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed
information and financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus.
Unless otherwise indicated, the information contained in this Prospectus
assumes (i) an offering price for the Common Shares of $10.00 per share (the
"Offering Price"), and (ii) that the Underwriters' over-allotment option is not
exercised. Unless the context requires otherwise, the "Company" as used herein,
includes Hudson Hotels Trust, its wholly-owned subsidiary HHT, Ltd. Inc. ("HHT
Ltd.") and Hudson Hotels Limited Partnership, L.P., (the "Partnership"). The
offering of 12,800,000 Common Shares pursuant to this Prospectus is referred to
herein as the "Offering." See "Glossary" for the definitions of certain terms
used in this Prospectus.

THE COMPANY

Hudson Hotels Trust (the "Company") is a self-advised Maryland real estate
investment trust, formed in April 1998, that intends to qualify as a real
estate investment trust ("REIT") for federal income tax purposes. The Company
intends to own and acquire stabilized hotel properties that the Company
believes are undervalued in prevailing market conditions and offer the
potential for high current rates of return to the Company, a substantial
dividend to its shareholders, and long term increases in value. At the present
time, the Company has identified such characteristics in stabilized limited
service hotels operating under nationally recognized franchises. Upon
completion of the Formation Transactions (as defined herein), the Company,
through the Partnership, will own 29 existing hotels, with 3,558 rooms (the
"Initial Hotels"). The Initial Hotels have an average age of approximately nine
years and will be leased, pursuant to leases providing for rent payments based,
in part, on revenues from the Initial Hotels (the "Percentage Leases"), to a
wholly-owned subsidiary (the "Lessee") of Hudson Hotels Corporation (the
"Strategic Partner"), a publicly-owned company whose common stock is listed on
the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol "HUDS."

Concurrently with the closing of the Offering, the Company will enter into a
10-year strategic alliance agreement (the "Strategic Alliance") with the
Strategic Partner. Pursuant to the Strategic Alliance (i) the Company will have
an option and right of first refusal to purchase 25 existing hotels currently
owned by the Strategic Partner (the "Option Hotels") and any hotel developed by
the Strategic Partner during the term of the Strategic Alliance, (ii) the
Company will have a right of first opportunity to acquire any hotel identified
for acquisition by the Strategic Partner, and (iii) the Strategic Partner will
have a right of first offer to lease any hotel property acquired by the Company
that is not acquired subject to a condition that a specified party serve as
lessee or manager of the property. The Company believes that the Strategic
Alliance will enhance the Company's growth strategy by (i) providing the
Company with a strategic partner that can assist the Company in identifying and
evaluating hotel acquisition opportunities, (ii) providing the Company with a
source of future acquisitions through the Option Hotels and hotels subsequently
owned or developed by the Strategic Partner, and (iii) providing an experienced
operator and lessee of the Company's hotel properties pursuant to the
Percentage Leases.

To facilitate its operating and acquisition strategy, the Company will work
closely with the Strategic Partner, and the two companies will share a
management team with extensive experience in the hospitality industry. E.
Anthony Wilson, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the
Strategic Partner, will also serve as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
Officer of the Company. Mr. Wilson was named the Hospitality Valuation Services
Hotel Executive of the Year in 1996 and was named to Advertising Age magazine's
list of the Top 100 Marketing Executives in 1995. In addition, John M. Sabin
will serve as the Company's President and Chief Financial Officer and the
Strategic Partner's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Mr.
Sabin has recently served as Senior Vice President, Treasurer and Chief
Financial Officer of Vistana, Inc., a publicly-owned owner, operator and
developer of time share resorts, and previously served as Vice President--
Finance and Vice President--Mergers and Acquisitions of Choice Hotels
International, Inc. ("Choice") and Vice President--Corporate Mergers and
Acquisitions at Marriott International, Inc. ("Marriott").

<PAGE>

Upon completion of the Formation Transactions, the Company will own the 29
Initial Hotels, which include 26 Fairfield Inn(R) by Marriott hotels with a
total of 3,179 rooms (the "Initial Fairfield Inns") and one Hampton Inn(R)
hotel, one Comfort Suites(R) hotel and one Holiday Inn(R) hotel with a total of
379 rooms (the "Other Initial Hotels"). The Initial Hotels will be leased to
the Lessee under seven year leases designed to allow the Company to participate
in increases in revenues at the Initial Hotels and to provide an incentive for
the Lessee to exceed certain target hotel revenues. In the year ended December
31, 1997 and the quarter ended March 31, 1998, revenue per available room
("REVPAR") at the Initial Hotels increased by 3.5% and 5.7%, respectively over
the same periods in 1996 and 1997. The Initial Hotels are located in 16 states,
with nine Initial Hotels in the northeastern region, three Initial Hotels in
the southeastern region, 11 Initial Hotels in the midwestern region and six
Initial Hotels in the western region of the United States. Upon completion of
the Offering, the Company will acquire the Initial Hotels from two sellers
unaffiliated with the Company for approximately $155.3 million in cash. In
addition, the Company expects to invest approximately $10 million over the next
two years to fund certain property improvement programs ("PIPs") at the Initial
Hotels as required by the franchisors.

The Company believes that the operation of the Initial Hotels under
nationally recognized hotel franchises will provide the Company with certain
benefits, such as the franchisors' national reservation systems and
comprehensive physical and operational guidelines. Fairfield Inns are limited
service hotels designed for business and leisure travelers. According to
Marriott, the first Fairfield Inn opened in 1987, and as of March 31, 1998, 346
hotels operated under the Fairfield Inn name. Limited service hotels generally,
and Fairfield Inns particularly, do not include restaurants or lounges and
contain little non-revenue producing space. Fairfield Inns are constructed,
maintained and operated in accordance with a comprehensive set of building,
maintenance, operational, record-keeping and reservation system guidelines
designed to insure uniform service, appearance and quality.

The Company currently is negotiating with various lenders to obtain a $75
million line of credit (the "Line of Credit"). Upon the concurrent completion
of the Offering and the Formation Transactions, the Company expects to incur
approximately $41 million of indebtedness under the Line of Credit
(representing approximately 26% of the Company's investment in hotels, at
cost), to fund, in part, the acquisition of the Initial Hotels. On a pro forma
basis, if the Formation Transactions had been consummated as of January 1,
1997, the Company's "Funds From Operations" or "FFO" (as defined herein) for
the year ended December 31, 1997 would have been approximately $16.0 million.
See note 10 in "Summary Financial Data." The Company initially intends to make
regular quarterly distributions of $.23125 per share, which, on an annualized
basis, would equal $.925 per share or 9.25% of the anticipated Offering Price
of $10.00 per share.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in the Common Shares involves various risks, and investors
should carefully consider the matters discussed under "Risk Factors,"
including, among others, the following:

. the Company's lack of control over the daily operations of the Initial
Hotels due to tax restrictions that prevent REITs from operating hotels,
and the Company's dependence on the Lessee to conduct such operations;

. the Company's dependence on the rent payments from the Lessee under the
Percentage Leases for substantially all of the Company's income,
including the risks related to the Lessee's inability to make rent
payments in an amount sufficient to permit the Company to make
distributions to its shareholders;

. the Strategic Partner's ability to successfully manage rapid growth in
its hotel management operations resulting from its leasing and
management of the Initial Hotels;

. the Company and the Partnership were recently formed and the Company has
no experience operating as a REIT or as a public company;

. adverse developments in the business or prospects of the Fairfield Inn
by Marriott franchise brand, under which approximately 90% of the
Initial Hotels operate, which may impact the Company's revenues from the
26 Initial Fairfield Inns and its cash available for distribution to its
shareholders;

. conflicts of interest between the Company and certain of its officers
and trustees, who are also officers, directors or shareholders of the
Strategic Partner, including the lack of arm's length negotiations with
respect to the terms of the Strategic Alliance, the Percentage Leases
and future acquisitions by the Company from the Strategic Partner, which
could lead to decisions which do not solely reflect the interests of the
Company's shareholders;

. tax risks, including taxation of the Company as a corporation if it
fails to qualify as a REIT and the Company's liability for federal and
state taxes on its taxable income in such event, which could reduce
materially the Company's cash available for distribution to its
shareholders;

. risks affecting the real estate or hospitality industries generally,
including economic and other conditions that may adversely affect the
Company's real estate investments and the Lessee's ability to make lease
payments, potential increases in assessed real estate values or property
tax rates, the relative illiquidity of real estate, uninsured or
underinsured losses, and the potential liability for unknown or future
environmental liabilities;

. the risk of potential losses of franchise licenses with respect to the
Initial Hotels and the varying capital requirements of franchisors that
may affect the Company's return on its investment in hotels;

. the absence of a prior market for the Common Shares, the lack of
assurance that an active trading market will develop or that the Common
Shares will trade at or above the initial offering price, and the
potential negative effect of an increase in interest rates on the market
price of the Common Shares; and

. the restriction on ownership of Common Shares intended to insure
compliance with certain requirements related to continued qualification
of the Company as a REIT, and certain other provisions in the Company's
declaration of trust (the "Declaration of Trust") or the Company's
Bylaws (the "Bylaws"), may have the effect of inhibiting a change of
control of the Company, even when a change of control may be beneficial
to the Company's shareholders.

<PAGE>

BUSINESS AND INVESTMENT STRATEGY

The Company's business strategy is to acquire hotels that the Company
believes are undervalued in prevailing market conditions and that have achieved
stabilized occupancy and average daily rates. The Company believes that such
properties offer the potential for high current rates of return to the Company,
a substantial dividend to the Company's shareholders, and long term increases
in value. At the present time, the Company believes that there are
opportunities to acquire undervalued limited service hotels operating under
nationally recognized franchise brands. The Company will seek to enhance
shareholder value (i) by acquiring additional existing hotels that meet the
Company's investment criteria and (ii) by participating in any increased room
revenue from the Initial Hotels and any subsequently acquired hotels through
the Percentage Leases. The Company believes that the Strategic Alliance will be
an integral part of both the Company's acquisition and internal growth
strategies by providing the Company with (i) a strategic partner that can
assist the Company in identifying and evaluating hotel acquisition
opportunities, (ii) a source of future acquisitions through the Option Hotels
and hotels subsequently owned or developed by the Strategic Partner, and (iii)
an experienced operator and lessee of the Company's hotel properties pursuant
to the Percentage Leases.

THE HOTEL INDUSTRY

According to Smith Travel Research, the United States lodging industry is
continuing to experience a significant recovery from an extended downturn in
the late 1980's and early 1990's. The Company believes that this broad industry
recovery will contribute to the growth in total revenues and REVPAR at the
Initial Hotels (and hotels subsequently acquired by the Company) which, through
the Percentage Leases, will result in increases in the Company's cash available
for distribution.

HOTEL DEMAND

As reflected in the chart below, demand growth has been strong in the hotel
industry as a whole. The Company believes that limited service hotels have
gained market share within the industry. In the strong economy since 1995,
demand for midscale hotels with food and beverage operations declined from year
to year, and the 10-year growth rate for such hotels was a nominal 0.2%.
Conversely, demand in the limited service sector, the sector currently targeted
by the Company, grew at a rate of 6.4% compounded over the past 10 years. The
Company believes this difference in growth is due to a shift in consumer
preferences and the capturing of market share by the limited service product.

LIMITED SERVICE SEGMENT OF THE HOTEL INDUSTRY

From 1991 through 1997, the number of rooms in upper upscale, midscale with
food and beverage, budget chain and independent hotels all decreased in
proportion to the total, while the share of rooms in midscale chain hotels
without food and beverage increased significantly. See "--Market Share Growth
of Limited Service Hotels." Increasing demand has allowed the hotel industry to
maintain positive ADR and REVPAR growth. According to Smith Travel Research,
the average annual increase in room rates for midscale hotels without food and
beverage during the period was 4.8%.

During the 1990's, the limited service sector, the sector currently targeted
by the Company, was more profitable through both good and bad economic
environments than the full service sector, which posted significant losses
during the recession of the early 1990's. The following table sets forth
certain comparative information, as a percentage of revenue, with respect to
the profitability of limited service and full service sectors of the hotel
industry.

Due to the lower fixed costs, limited service hotels generally have higher
gross operating profit margins than full service hotels that must also support
food and beverage and banquet operations. Given the higher profit margins of
limited service hotels, management believes that these properties will be more
consistently profitable through industry cycles.

MARKET SHARE GROWTH OF LIMITED SERVICE HOTELS

Chain affiliated hotels in the limited service sector have acquired
significant market share versus chain-affiliated hotels in other lodging
industry sectors, which demonstrates, in management's opinion, a change in
customer preference and an increasing focus on delivering a quality product at
an affordable price to both business and leisure travelers. The charts below
depict the market share gains achieved by limited service hotels this decade:

STABILITY OF LIMITED SERVICE HOTELS

Management believes that changes and trends in occupancy, ADR and REVPAR are
indicators of the recovery in the hotel industry. Since 1990, despite
relatively flat occupancy rates, the hotel industry has enjoyed growth in ADR,
resulting in REVPAR growth for seven of the past eight years. REVPAR has grown
consistently since 1991. The following table sets forth REVPAR growth of all
U.S. hotels and midscale hotels without food and beverage and percentage
changes in the CPI to demonstrate real growth in the industry.

Other than during the industry's downturn in 1990 through 1992, hotel REVPAR
growth exceeded inflation. In 1991, REVPAR for the industry declined. However,
REVPAR growth for midscale hotels without food and beverage remained positive
even during the downturn years of 1990 and 1991. From 1992 to 1995, the
midscale hotel without food and beverage sector grew faster than the industry.
Management believes that REVPAR growth at hotels in the midscale without food
and beverage sector has stabilized in 1996 and 1997. Management believes that
full service hotel property REVPAR growth is pulling up the industry-wide
numbers at the current time. Additionally, management believes the cost
structure of limited service hotels as well as overall consumer demand for the
limited service product make limited service hotels a more stable hotel
investment through industry cycles.

GROWTH STRATEGY

The Company's primary objective is to enhance shareholder value by increasing
cash flow and distributions per share and working to increase the long term
value of the Common Shares by implementing its acquisition and internal growth
strategies.

ACQUISITION STRATEGY

The Company believes that a substantial number of existing hotel properties
that meet its investment criteria are available at attractive prices. According
to the Smith Travel Research 1997 Host Study, there were 926,634 rooms
(approximately 27% of all hotel rooms in the United States) in hotels
classified as midscale chain hotels without food and beverage and economy and
budget chain hotels. The Company believes that, upon completion of the
Formation Transactions, it will be the largest hotel REIT targeting the limited
service hotel sector.

The Company currently is negotiating with various lenders to obtain the $75
million Line of Credit. Upon concurrent completion of the Offering and the
Formation Transactions, the Company intends to incur approximately $41 million
of indebtedness under the Line of Credit to fund, in part, the acquisition of
the Initial Hotels. The Board of Trustees expects to adopt a policy to limit
the consolidated indebtedness of the Company to approximately 50% of the
Company's investment in hotel properties, valued at undepreciated total cost
(the "Debt Policy"). However, the Company's organizational documents do not
limit the amount of indebtedness that the Company may incur, and the Company's
Board of Trustees may modify the Debt Policy at any time. The Company intends
to repay indebtedness incurred under the Line of Credit from time to time, for
acquisitions or otherwise, out of cash flow and from the proceeds of issuances
of Common Shares and other securities of the Company. See "Risk Factors--Risks
of Leverage; No Limits on Indebtedness," "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital
Resources," and "Policies and Objectives with Respect to Certain Activities--
Investment Policies" and "--Financing."

INTERNAL GROWTH STRATEGY

at which point the percentage of room revenue paid as Percentage Rent will
decrease. Pursuant to the Percentage Leases, the ranges of room revenues
specified for purposes of calculating Percentage Rent will be adjusted upward
for inflation under a formula based on annual increases in the United States
Consumer Price Index. See "Business and Properties--The Percentage Leases." The
Lessee will use established systems to manage and seek to increase revenues at
the Initial Hotels, including detailed business and marketing plans and
operating budgets for each Initial Hotel. The Lessee will employ a mix of
marketing techniques designed for each specific hotel, which may include a toll
free reservation number designated for that hotel, direct corporate sales
efforts, and billboard advertising to further capitalize on Fairfield Inn's and
other franchisors' reputations, national advertising, nationwide toll free
reservation numbers and other marketing efforts. The Percentage Leases require
the Company to fund capital expenditures to regularly maintain and upgrade its
hotels. The Company expects that such capital expenditures on the Initial
Hotels will be approximately 5% of total revenues at the Initial Hotels.
Management believes that regular maintenance and upgrading are essential to
establishing strong customer satisfaction and consistently favorable occupancy
levels and ADR.

Consolidated REVPAR for the Initial Hotels has increased each year since 1993
and increased at a 5.0% compound annual growth rate from 1993 to 1997.
Management believes that the year-to-year growth in REVPAR since 1993 reflects
the increasing popularity of and demand for limited service hotels in general,
and Fairfield Inn hotels in particular, improving hotel industry conditions
since 1990, an improving economy, marketing practices at the Initial Hotels,
and regular expenditures to maintain and upgrade the Initial Hotels.

In light of the Strategic Partner's anticipated hotel development activities
and the Company's option and right of first refusal to purchase those developed
hotels, the Company has no current plans to develop hotel properties on its
own. The Board of Trustees will from time to time consider hotel development by
the Company and the Company may develop hotels in the future. In considering
development opportunities, the Board of Trustees will review the availability
and pricing of suitable acquisition opportunities, the availability of suitable
sites, the costs and risks of developing hotels, the availability of
development financing, the expected return on the development projects, as well
as any other factors the Board of Trustees deems relevant. Any decision to
develop a hotel will be made by a majority of the Board of Trustees, including
a majority of the Independent Trustees. See "Business and Properties--Growth
Strategy" and "Risk Factors--Ability of Board of Trustees to Change Certain
Policies."

THE STRATEGIC ALLIANCE

The Company believes its operating and growth strategies will benefit from
its alliance with the Strategic Partner. The Strategic Partner is an owner and
operator of hotel properties, and its common stock is traded on the Nasdaq
Stock Market under the symbol "HUDS." The Strategic Partner was organized in
1987 to develop and franchise a national chain of economy, limited service
lodging facilities operating under the name Microtel(R), which offer downsized
rooms with high quality furnishings at rates below those available at competing
national budget chains. In 1992, the Strategic Partner acquired Hudson Hotels
Corporation, a hotel management and development company. In 1995, the Strategic
Partner signed an exclusive Joint Venture Agreement (the "Joint Venture
Agreement") with U.S. Franchise Systems, Inc., pursuant to which U.S. Franchise
Systems, Inc. purchased worldwide franchising and administration rights for the
Microtel franchise chain. Since entering the Joint Venture Agreement, the
Strategic Partner has focused its efforts on acquiring, managing and developing
various hotel properties, including Microtels.

During 1996, the Strategic Partner began a significant expansion program,
which included the acquisition of the Option Hotels and development of six
Microtel Inns. As of May 1, 1998, the Strategic Partner managed 40 hotel
properties with 4,474 rooms primarily in the northeastern and southeastern
United States, including Fairfield Inn, Hampton Inn, Comfort Inn and Microtel
Inn hotels. Of the 40 hotel properties that the Strategic Partner manages, 25
are owned by the Strategic Partner. After completion of the Formation
Transactions, the Strategic Partner and its subsidiaries will manage 69 hotel
properties, including the 29 Initial Hotels owned by the Company.

<PAGE>

To facilitate the operational and acquisition strategies embodied in the
Strategic Alliance, the Company and the Strategic Partner share management
teams with extensive experience in the hospitality industry. The Company
believes that such overlap in the management of the Company and Strategic
Partner will further align the interests of the two companies and facilitate
the achievement of the Company's objectives.

Pursuant to the Strategic Alliance, the Company will have the option and
right of first refusal to acquire the 25 Option Hotels from the Strategic
Partner. The Option Hotels currently are owned by special purpose subsidiaries
of the Strategic Partner formed to undertake a collateralized mortgage backed
securities financing (the "CMBS Debt"), which is collateralized by mortgage
loans secured by the Option Hotels. The CMBS Debt agreements prohibit the
repayment of such debt or the transfer of the Option Hotels at this time. In
addition, the Company's assumption of the CMBS Debt (which as of May 1, 1998
was $85.1 million) at the current time would result in the Company's initial
indebtedness exceeding levels that the Company's Board of Trustees deems
prudent. Thus, the Company elected not to pursue the acquisition of the Option
Hotels at this time. However, the Company intends to proceed with the
acquisition of the Option Hotels as soon as (i) the requisite consents can be
obtained from various third parties as required by the CMBS Debt agreements,
and (ii) the Company's capital structure will enable it to assume the CMBS Debt
in a manner acceptable to the Board of Trustees. The aggregate purchase price
for the Option Hotels will be the Strategic Partner's undepreciated acquisition
costs plus depreciated capital expenditures associated with the properties. The
Company does not expect to exercise its option to purchase the Option Hotels if
the purchase price exceeds the Option Hotels' fair market value. If the Company
completes the acquisition of the Option Properties, the Company anticipates
that the purchase price for the Option Hotels will be paid through a
combination of the Company's assumption of the CMBS Debt, the issuance of units
of limited partnership interest in the Partnership ("Units") and cash. There
can be no assurance whether or when the required third party consents can be
obtained or that the Company otherwise will complete the acquisition of the
Option Hotels.

For as long as the Strategic Alliance is in effect, the Company will have an
option and right of first refusal to acquire any hotel properties developed by
the Strategic Partner or its Affiliates. The Company may exercise its option to
purchase any developed hotel within two years of the opening of such hotel at a
price equal to the Strategic Partner's undepreciated cost of such property plus
a development fee equal to 5% of development costs. The Company does not expect
to exercise its option to acquire a developed hotel if the purchase price
exceeds the hotel's fair market value. The Strategic Partner currently owns
four parcels of land, located in Texas and Arizona, on which it is developing
Microtel Inns. The Company believes that development of new hotels by the
Strategic Partner will provide the Company opportunities to acquire well
constructed, well positioned and competitively priced hotels, without the
investment and construction risks associated with new hotel development. The
Company currently anticipates that a property developed by the Strategic
Partner will have achieved stabilized operations and cash flows before the
Company would consider purchasing such property. See "Policies and Objectives
With Respect to Certain Activities--Investment Policies."

The Strategic Partner, through the Lessee, will lease and operate the Initial
Hotels and the Option Hotels, if acquired, under Percentage Leases. In
addition, the Lessee will have a right of first offer to lease any hotel
acquired by the Company that is not acquired subject to a condition that a
specified party continue as the manager or lessee of the hotel.

The Strategic Alliance will have an initial term of ten years from the date
of the Offering. All transactions between the Company and the Strategic
Partner, the Lessee or its Affiliates must be approved by a majority of the
Company's "Independent Trustees." An "Independent Trustee" is a Trustee of the
Company who is not, and within the last two years has not been, (i) an officer
or employee of the Company, the Strategic Partner or any Affiliate of the
Company, or (ii) an owner of a greater than 10% interest in the Strategic
Partner or any Affiliate of the Company. See "Management." The Company has
certain rights to terminate the Strategic Alliance and the Percentage Leases in
the event of a change in control of the Strategic Partner or the Lessee without
the consent of the Company.

THE INITIAL HOTELS

Upon completion of the Formation Transactions, the Company will own 29
existing hotels with 3,558 rooms, including 26 Fairfield Inn by Marriott hotels
with a total of 3,179 rooms and, one Comfort Suites hotel, one Hampton Inn
hotel and one Holiday Inn hotel with a total of 379 rooms. The Company will
acquire the Initial Hotels from two unrelated sellers for approximately $155.3
million in cash. The Initial Hotels have an average age of approximately nine
years and are located in 16 states, with nine Initial Hotels in the
northeastern region, three Initial Hotels in the southeastern region, 11
Initial Hotels in the midwestern region, and six Initial Hotels in the western
region of the United States. The following table sets forth certain information
with respect to the Initial Hotels:

FORMATION TRANSACTIONS

The principal transactions in connection with the formation of the Company
and the acquisition of the Initial Hotels (the "Formation Transactions") are as
follows:

. In April 1998, the Company, HHT Ltd. and the Partnership were formed as
a Maryland real estate investment trust, a Virginia corporation and a
Virginia limited partnership, respectively.

. In May 1998, the Partnership issued 67,742 Units to the Strategic
Partner in exchange for the assignment to the Company of an option to
purchase the Other Initial Hotels. The Strategic Partner paid $630,000
in option payments in connection with obtaining the option to acquire
the Other Initial Hotels, which amount will be credited to the purchase
price of such hotels. The Units are redeemable, at the option of the
Strategic Partner, beginning on the first anniversary of the closing of
the Offering.

. In May 1998, the Company will borrow $1.2 million from the Strategic
Partner (the "Strategic Partner Loan") to fund certain earnest money
deposits in connection with the acquisition of the Initial Hotels.
Interest on the Strategic Partner Loan accrues at a rate of 12% per
annum and the Company expects to repay the Strategic Partner Loan in
full with the proceeds of the Offering.

. In May 1998, the Company will borrow an aggregate of $4 million from two
individuals (the "Pre-Offering Debt"), including $2 million to be
borrowed from a partnership in which one of the Independent Trustees is
a partner, to fund certain earnest money deposits and other expenses in
connection with the Offering and the acquisition of the Initial Hotels.
Interest on the Pre-Offering Debt accrues at a rate of 12% per annum,
and the Company expects to repay the Pre-Offering Debt in full with a
portion of the net proceeds of the Offering. In addition, the Company
will pay approximately $850,000 to the Strategic Partner to cover
expenses incurred by the Strategic Partner in connection with the Pre-
Offering Debt.

. The Company will sell 12,800,000 Common Shares in the Offering and will
contribute all of the net proceeds from the Offering, directly and
through HHT Ltd., to the Partnership in exchange for a 1% general
partnership interest and a 98.5% limited partnership interest in the
Partnership to be held by HHT Ltd. The Company will be the sole general
partner of the Partnership, and HHT Ltd. and the Strategic Partner will
be the initial limited partners of the Partnership.

. The Partnership will use the net proceeds of the Offering, together with
approximately $41 million of borrowings under the Line of Credit, to
acquire the 29 Initial Hotels from two sellers unaffiliated with the
Company for total acquisition costs of $155.3 million in cash, including
the repayment in full of the Strategic Partner Loan and the Pre-Offering
Debt, and to pay expenses incurred in connection with the Offering and
the acquisition of the Initial Hotels.

Hotels and any hotel developed by the Strategic Partner during the term
of the Strategic Alliance, (ii) the Strategic Partner will grant the
Company a right of first opportunity to purchase any hotel identified
for acquisition by the Strategic Partner, and (iii) the Strategic
Partner will have a right of first offer to lease any hotel acquired by
the Company that is not purchased subject to a condition that a
specified party serve as the lessee or manager.

. In order for the Company to qualify as a REIT, neither the Company nor
the Partnership can operate hotels. Therefore, the Partnership will
lease each Initial Hotel to the Lessee for a term of seven years
pursuant to a Percentage Lease which provides for rent equal to the
greater of fixed annual base rent ("Base Rent") or a percentage of gross
revenues of each hotel ("Percentage Rent"). In addition, the Strategic
Partner will guarantee in full the rent payments to the Company under
the Percentage Leases. The Lessee will hold the franchise license for
each Initial Hotel.

Following consummation of the Formation Transactions, the structure and
relationships of the Company, the Partnership, the Initial Hotels and the
Strategic Partner will be as follows:

[CHART DESCRIBING CORPORATE STRUCTURE OF THE COMPANY UPON COMPLETION OF THE
FORMATION TRANSACTIONS APPEARS HERE.]

BENEFITS TO RELATED PARTIES

RECEIPT OF UNITS BY THE STRATEGIC PARTNER

Prior to the Offering, the Strategic Partner received 67,742 Units from the
Partnership in consideration for its assignment to the Company of its option to
purchase three of the Initial Hotels. These Units represent approximately 0.5%
of the partnership interests in the Partnership and will have a total value of
approximately $677,420, based on the Offering Price of the Common Shares of
$10.00 per share, as compared with the $630,000 that the Strategic Partner
actually paid for such option. These Units are convertible into Common Shares
on a one-for-one basis in accordance with the terms of the Partnership
Agreement. See "Partnership Agreement--Redemption Rights."

PAYMENT TO THE STRATEGIC PARTNER

Prior to the Offering, the Strategic Partner incurred various expenses in
connection with the Pre-Offering Debt, which was incurred to fund expenses
associated with the Offering and the Company's acquisition of the Initial
Hotels. The Company will pay the Strategic Partner $850,000 from the proceeds
of the Offering as reimbursement for such expenses.

<PAGE>

THE PRE-OFFERING DEBT

Richard Sands will become a member of the Company's Board of Trustees upon
completion of the Offering. A partnership in which Mr. Sands is a general
partner (the "Sands Partnership"), loaned the Company $2 million of the Pre-
Offering Debt. The Pre-Offering Debt, including the portion loaned by Mr.
Sands, bears interest at a per annum rate of 12% and will be repaid with the
net proceeds of the Offering. In connection with the funding of the Pre-
Offering Debt, the Strategic Partner issued to the Sands Partnership warrants
to purchase shares of common stock of the Strategic Partner.

ISSUANCE OF SHARES AND GRANTS OF OPTIONS TO OFFICERS AND TRUSTEES

Concurrently with the Offering, certain officers and trustees will receive
Common Shares and options to purchase Common Shares, 20% of which will vest
immediately and 80% of which will vest at various points over the next five
years. See "Management--Executive Compensation".

DISTRIBUTION POLICY

The Company intends to make regular quarterly distributions to holders of the
Common Shares initially equal to $.23125 per share, which on an annualized
basis would be equal to $.925 per share, or 9.25% of the anticipated initial
public offering price of $10.00 per share. The first distribution, for the
period from the closing of the Offering to September 30, 1998, is expected to
be a pro rata distribution of the anticipated regular quarterly distribution.
Based on the Company's pro forma revenues less expenses for the year ended
December 31, 1997, such distributions would represent approximately 90% of the
Company's cash available for distribution. The Company estimates that an
insignificant portion of the anticipated initial annual distribution to
shareholders will represent a return of capital for federal income tax
purposes. See "Distribution Policy" for information regarding the basis for
determining the initial distribution rate. The Company believes that the pro
forma financial information constitutes a reasonable basis for setting the
initial distribution rate. The Board of Trustees will determine the actual
distribution rate based on the Company's actual results of operations, economic
conditions and other factors. The Company does not expect to adjust the
distribution rate if the Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised. See
"Partnership Agreement" and "Distribution Policy."

TAX STATUS

The Company intends to make an election to be taxed as a REIT under Sections
856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the "Code")
commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 1998. If the Company
qualifies for taxation as a REIT, with certain exceptions, the Company will not
be taxed at the corporate level on its taxable income that is distributed
currently to the shareholders of the Company. A REIT is subject to a number of
organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it
currently distribute at least 95% of its taxable income. Failure to qualify as
a REIT will render the Company subject to federal income tax (including any
applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular corporate
rates and distributions to the shareholders in any such year will not be
deductible by the Company. Although the Company does not intend to request a
ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service") with respect to its
REIT status, the Company has obtained the opinion of its legal counsel as to
its REIT status, which opinion is based on certain assumptions and
representations and is not binding on the Service or any court. Even if the
Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain
state and local taxes on its income and property. In connection with the
Company's election to be taxed as a REIT, the Company's Declaration of Trust
and Bylaws impose restrictions on the ownership and transfer of Common Shares.
The Company intends to adopt the calendar year as its taxable year. See "Risk
Factors--Tax Risks," "--Anti-takeover Effect of Ownership Limit, Staggered
Board, Power To Issue Additional Shares and Certain Provisions of Maryland
Law," "Federal Income Tax Considerations--Taxation of the Company" and

Transfer."

(1) The pro forma information does not purport to represent what the Company's
financial position or results of operations would actually have been if
the consummation of the Formation Transactions had, in fact, occurred on
such date or at the beginning of the period indicated, or to project the
Company's financial position or results of operations at any future date
or for any future period. The summary unaudited pro forma financial and
other data of the Company do not include a material non-recurring charge
of $850 paid to the Strategic Partner to cover expenses incurred by the
Strategic Partner in connection with the Pre-Offering Debt. The Company
intends that such payment will be paid and expensed out of the Offering
proceeds.
(2) The pro forma information is presented as if the Partnership recorded
depreciation and amortization, paid interest on debt incurred in the
Formation Transactions, and paid real and personal property taxes and
property insurance as contemplated by the Percentage Leases.
(3) Represents lease payments from the Lessee to the Company and is calculated
on a pro forma basis by applying the rent provisions in the Percentage
Leases to the historical room revenue of the Initial Hotels for the period
indicated.
(4) Represents depreciation on the Initial Hotels, amortization of capitalized
franchise fees and amortization of stock compensation expense.
Depreciation is computed based upon estimated useful lives of 39.5 and
seven years for buildings and improvements and furniture and equipment,
respectively. Franchise fees are amortized over 10 years. Stock
compensation is amortized over the five year vesting period. These
estimated useful lives are based on management's knowledge of the
properties and the hotel industry in general.
(5) Represents real estate and personal property taxes and property and
casualty insurance to be paid by the Company.
(6) Estimated at $150 per quarter for compensation, legal, audit and other
expenses. The pro forma calculations assume that the Strategic Partner
will reimburse the Company for general and administrative expenses in
excess of $150 per quarter for the remainder of 1998.
(7) Based on an assumed annual interest rate on the Line of Credit of 7.5% for
each period presented.
(8) Calculated at 0.5% of partnership's net income.
(9) Pro forma earnings per Common Share is computed by dividing net income
applicable to the holders of Common Shares by the pro forma weighted
average number of Common Shares outstanding. The exchange of Units for
Common Shares will have no effect on diluted pro forma earnings per Common
Share as Unit holders and Shareholders effectively share equally in the
net income of the Partnership.

(10) Industry analysts generally consider FFO to be an appropriate measure of
the performance of an equity REIT. In accordance with the resolution
adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real
Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), FFO represents net income (computed
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding
gains (or losses) from debt restructuring or sales of property, plus
depreciation and amortization on real estate assets (including furniture
and equipment), and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and
joint ventures. For the periods presented, depreciation and amortization
were the only non-cash adjustments. FFO should not be considered an
alternative to net income or other measurements under generally accepted
accounting principles as an indicator of operating performance or to cash
flows from operating, investing or financing activities as a measure of
liquidity. FFO does not reflect working capital changes, cash expenditures
for capital improvements and debt service on the Initial Hotels. Under the
Percentage Leases, the Partnership will be obligated to fund capital
expenditures with respect to the Initial Hotels, which the Company
anticipates will approximate 5% of room revenues at the Initial Hotels. In
addition, the Partnership will be obligated under the Percentage Leases to
maintain the underground utilities and structural elements of the Initial
Hotels. See "Business and Properties--The Percentage Leases".
(11) Represents improvements and additions to the Initial Hotels based on 5% of
room revenues to be made available to the Lessee as described in Note 9
above.
(12) Represents estimated initial distributions to be paid based on the
estimated initial annual distribution rate of $0.925 per share and
12,859,000 Common Shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 1997.
(13) The Initial Hotel data is derived by adding the selected combined
historical financial data of (i) the 26 Initial Fairfield Inns to be
acquired from MFI Partners, Limited Partnership, and (ii) the Other
Initial Hotels, consisting of one Hampton Inn hotel, one Comfort Suites
hotel and one Holiday Inn hotel. The 26 Initial Fairfield Inns were owned
and managed by entities other than MFI Partners prior to August 5, 1994;
therefore, the Company believes that the financial information for the
hotels for the periods prior to the year ended December 31, 1995 is not
comparable, and thus is not relevant to the financial information for
subsequent periods.
(14) Represents departmental costs and expenses, general and administrative,
repairs and maintenance, utilities, marketing, management fees, real
estate and personal property taxes, property and casualty insurance and
ground leases for 1995 through 1997. The pro forma amounts exclude real
estate and personal property taxes, property and casualty insurance and
ground leases.
(15) Hotel EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization from the Initial Hotels and before percentage lease payments.
Hotel EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income as an
indicator of operating performance or to cash flow as a measure of
liquidity.

This Prospectus may contain forward-looking statements including, without
limitation, statements containing the words "believes," "anticipates,"
"expects" and words of similar import. Such forward-looking statements relate
to future events and the future financial performance of the Company, and
involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may
cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company or
industry to be materially different from any future results, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
Prospective investors should specifically consider the various factors
identified in this prospectus which could cause actual results to differ,
including particularly those discussed in the section entitled "Risk Factors"
beginning on this page. The Company disclaims any obligation to update any
such factors or to publicly announce the result of any revisions to any
forward-looking statements to reflect future events or developments.

RISK FACTORS

Prospective investors should carefully consider the following information in
conjunction with the other information contained in this Prospectus before
purchasing Common Shares in the Offering.

LACK OF CONTROL OVER OPERATIONS OF THE HOTELS

To maintain its status as a REIT, the Company will not be able to operate
the Initial Hotels or any subsequently acquired hotels. The Company is
dependent on the ability of the Lessee to operate and manage the Initial
Hotels. As a result, the Company will be unable to directly implement
strategic business decisions with respect to the operation and marketing of
its hotels, such as decisions with respect to the setting of room rates, food
and beverage operations, if applicable, and certain similar matters.

DEPENDENCE ON LESSEE AND PAYMENTS UNDER THE PERCENTAGE LEASES

The Company's ability to make distributions to its shareholders depends
solely upon the ability of the Lessee to make rent payments under the
Percentage Leases, which will be dependent primarily on the ability of the
Lessee to generate sufficient revenues from the Initial Hotels in excess of
operating expenses. Any failure or delay by the Lessee in making rent payments
would adversely affect the Company's ability to make anticipated distributions
to its shareholders. Such failure or delay by the Lessee may be caused by
reductions in revenue from the Initial Hotels or in the net operating income
of the Lessee or otherwise. Although failure on the part of the Lessee to
materially comply with the terms of a Percentage Lease (including failure to
pay rent when due) gives the Company the non-exclusive right to terminate such
lease, repossess the applicable property and enforce the payment obligations
under the lease, the Company would then be required to find another lessee to
lease such hotel. There can be no assurance that the Company would be able to
find another lessee or that, if another lessee were found, the Company would
be able to enter into a new lease on favorable terms.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE INCREASE IN HOTEL MANAGEMENT BY THE STRATEGIC
PARTNER

The Strategic Partner currently is experiencing a period of rapid growth. In
1996 and 1997, the Strategic Partner added 29 hotels to its management
portfolio. The Strategic Partner currently operates and manages approximately
4,474 rooms in 40 primarily limited service hotels. Upon completion of the
Formation Transactions, the Strategic Partner and its subsidiary, the Lessee,
will operate and manage 8,032 rooms in 69 primarily limited service hotels
(including the 29 Initial Hotels), increasing its number of managed rooms by
approximately 80%. The Lessee's ability to manage its growth effectively will
require it to hire employees and acquire other resources to operate the
Initial Hotels. There can be no assurance that the Strategic Partner will be
able to manage its rapid growth or these additional hotels effectively.

NEWLY ORGANIZED COMPANY AND PARTNERSHIP, LIMITED FINANCIAL DATA AND COMPANY'S
LACK OF EXPERIENCE AS A REIT OR AS A PUBLIC COMPANY

The Company and the Partnership have been recently organized and have no
operating history. The Company is a Maryland real estate investment trust
recently formed to own the Initial Hotels and has not

18
<PAGE>

previously operated as a REIT or as a public company. Although the officers of
the Company and the Strategic Partner have experience in developing, financing
and operating hotel properties, they have no experience operating a REIT. The
Company must rely on the Lessee to generate sufficient cash flow from the
operation of the Initial Hotels to enable the Lessee to meet the rent
obligations under the Percentage Leases. The obligations of the Lessee under
the Percentage Leases are unsecured.

EMPHASIS ON FAIRFIELD INN BY MARRIOTT HOTELS

The Company initially will own 29 hotels, 26 of which will be operated as
Fairfield Inn by Marriott Hotels. Significant adverse changes in the
operations of any Initial Hotel could have a material adverse effect on lease
revenues and the Company's ability to make expected distributions to its
shareholders. In addition, the Company initially will be subject to risks
inherent in concentrating investments in a single franchise brand, such as a
decrease in business at the Initial Fairfield Inns because of adverse
publicity about one or more Fairfield Inns or the Fairfield Inn brand name,
which could materially affect the Company's cash available for distribution to
its shareholders.

RISKS OF OPERATING HOTELS UNDER FRANCHISE AGREEMENTS

All of the Initial Hotels are subject to franchise agreements. The
franchisors under such agreements are expected to require the Company to
complete property improvement programs ("PIPs") involving certain capital
improvements to hotels, in connection with the Company's acquisition of those
hotels or otherwise. Prior to the completion of the improvements, franchisors
typically permit the operation of the hotels under a conditional license.
Failure to complete the improvements in a manner satisfactory to the
franchisors could result in the cancellation of the franchise license. In
addition, the continuation of the franchises is subject to specified operating
standards and other terms and conditions. Franchisors will typically
periodically inspect licensed properties to confirm adherence to operating
standards. The failure of an Initial Hotel, the Company, the Partnership or
the Lessee to maintain such standards or adhere to such other terms and
conditions could result in the loss or cancellation of the franchise license.
It is possible that a franchisor could condition the continuation of a
franchise license on the completion of capital improvements which the Board of
Trustees determines are too expensive or otherwise unwarranted in light of
general economic conditions or the operating results or prospects of the
affected hotel. In that event, the Board of Trustees may elect to allow the
franchise license to lapse. In any case, if a franchise is terminated, the
Company and the Lessee may seek to obtain a suitable replacement franchise, or
to operate the Initial Hotel independent of a franchise license. The loss of a
franchise license could have a material adverse effect upon the operations or
the underlying value of the hotel covered by the franchise because of the loss
of associated name recognition, marketing support and centralized reservation
systems provided by the franchisor.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

General

Certain of the Company's officers and trustees, including Mr. Wilson, Mr.
Sabin, Ralph Peek, the Company's Vice President and Treasurer, and Taras
Kolcio, the Company's Vice President and Controller, will also be officers,
directors, and stockholders of the Strategic Partner and will receive a salary
from the Strategic Partner. See "Management--Executive Compensation." Mr.
Wilson and Mr. Peek are deemed to beneficially own, on a fully diluted basis,
approximately 20% and 10%, respectively, of the outstanding common stock of
the Strategic Partner. Consequently, there are inherent conflicts of interest
in the Strategic Alliance and the Percentage Leases and in any ongoing
negotiations among the Company, the Strategic Partner and the Lessee with
respect to the leasing, acquisition, disposition, operation or management of
hotels. Accordingly, the interests of the Company's shareholders may not have
been the sole consideration in the negotiation of the Strategic Alliance and
the Percentage Leases and may not be the sole consideration in any ongoing
negotiations among the Company, the Strategic Partner and the Lessee.

19
<PAGE>

No Arms'-Length Bargaining

The terms of the Percentage Leases, the Strategic Alliance and the
agreements pursuant to which the Company will acquire additional hotels from
the Strategic Partner were not and will not be negotiated on an arms length
basis. The Company believes, however, that the terms of such agreements are
fair to the Company. The rent payments under the Percentage Leases were
calculated with reference to historical financial data and projected operating
and financial performance of the Initial Hotels. The terms of the Percentage
Leases are, the Company believes, similar to lease provisions negotiated at
arms' length. The Company believes that the terms of the option, right of
first refusal and right of first opportunity provisions of the Strategic
Alliance are similar to other strategic alliance agreements in the hotel
industry that were negotiated at arms' length. The Company believes that the
terms of the Strategic Alliance are fair to the Company. In addition, the
Company may acquire hotel properties from the Strategic Partner from time to
time as contemplated by the Strategic Alliance, and such acquisitions will not
be negotiated on an arms' length basis. The Company will not own any interest
in the Strategic Partner.

TAX RISKS

Failure to Qualify as a REIT

The Company intends to operate so as to qualify as a REIT for federal income
tax purposes. Although the Company has not requested, and does not expect to
request, a ruling from the Service that it qualifies as a REIT, it has
received an opinion of its counsel that, based on certain assumptions and
representations, it will so qualify. Investors should be aware, however, that
opinions of counsel are not binding on the Service or any court. The REIT
qualification opinion only represents the view of counsel to the Company based
on counsel's review and analysis of existing law, which includes no
controlling precedent. Furthermore, both the validity of the opinion and the
continued qualification of the Company as a REIT will depend on the Company's
continuing ability to meet various requirements concerning, among other
things, the ownership of its outstanding shares, the nature of its assets, the
sources of its income, and the amount of its distributions to the shareholders
of the Company. See "Federal Income Tax Considerations--Taxation of the
Company."

If the Company were to fail to qualify as a REIT for any taxable year, the
Company would not be allowed a deduction for distributions to shareholders in
computing its taxable income and would be subject to federal income tax
(including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at
regular corporate rates. Unless entitled to relief under certain Code
provisions, the Company also would be disqualified from treatment as a REIT
for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification was
lost. As a result, the cash available for distribution to the shareholders
would be reduced for each of the years involved. Although the Company
currently intends to operate in a manner designed to qualify as a REIT, it is
possible that future economic, market, legal, tax or other considerations may
cause the Board of Trustees, with the consent of a majority of the
shareholders, to revoke the REIT election. See "Federal Income Tax
Considerations."

REIT Minimum Distribution Requirements

In order to qualify as a REIT, the Company generally will be required each
year to distribute to its shareholders at least 95% of its net taxable income
(excluding any net capital gain). In addition, the Company will be subject to
a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which certain
distributions paid by it with respect to any calendar year are less than the
sum of (i) 85% of its ordinary income for the year, (ii) 95% of its capital
gain net income for that year, and (iii) 100% of its undistributed taxable
income from prior years. To the extent that the Company elects to retain and
pay income tax on its net capital gain, such retained amounts will be treated
as having been distributed for purposes of the 4% excise tax.

The Company intends to make distributions to its shareholders to comply with
the 95% distribution requirement and to avoid the nondeductible excise tax.
The Company's income will consist primarily of its share of the income of the
Partnership, and the Company's cash available for distribution will consist
primarily of its share of cash distributions from the Partnership. Differences
in timing between the recognition of taxable income

20
<PAGE>

and the actual receipt of cash available for distribution due to the
seasonality of the hospitality industry could require the Company, through the
Partnership, to borrow funds on a short-term basis to meet the 95%
distribution requirement and to avoid the nondeductible excise tax. For
federal income tax purposes, distributions paid to shareholders may consist of
ordinary income, capital gains, nontaxable return of capital, or a combination
thereof. The Company will provide its shareholders with an annual statement as
to its designation of the taxability of distributions.

Distributions by the Partnership will be determined by the Company's Board
of Trustees and will be dependent on a number of factors, including the amount
of the Partnership's cash available for distribution, the Partnership's
financial condition, any decision by the Board of Trustees to reinvest funds
rather than to distribute such funds, the Partnership's capital expenditures,
the annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code and
such other factors as the Board of Trustees deems relevant. See "Federal
Income Tax Considerations--Requirements for Qualification--Distribution
Requirements."

Failure of the Partnership to be Classified as a Partnership for Federal
Income Tax Purposes; Impact on REIT Status

Although the Company has not requested, and does not expect to request, a
ruling from the Service that the Partnership will be classified as a
partnership for federal income tax purposes, the Company will receive at the
closing of the Offering an opinion of its counsel stating that the Partnership
will be so classified. If the Service were to challenge successfully the tax
status of the Partnership as a partnership for federal income tax purposes,
the Partnership would be taxable as a corporation. In such event, the Company
would cease to qualify as a REIT for a variety of reasons. Furthermore, the
imposition of a corporate tax on the Partnership would substantially reduce
the amount of cash available for distribution to the Company and its
shareholders. See "Federal Income Tax Considerations--Tax Aspects of the
Partnership."

HOTEL INDUSTRY RISKS

Operating Risks

The Initial Hotels will be subject to all operating risks common to the
hotel industry. These risks include, among other things: competition for
guests from other hotels, some of which may have greater marketing and
financial resources; continuing development in the hotel industry which may
adversely affect occupancy and ADR; increases in operating costs due to
inflation and other factors (which increases may not necessarily be offset by
increased room rates) which may deter travelers; dependence on business and
commercial travelers and tourism; increases in energy costs and other expenses
of travel; and adverse effects of general and local economic conditions. These
factors could adversely affect the Lessee's ability to generate revenues and
make lease payments and therefore the Company's ability to make expected
distributions to shareholders.

Competition for Investment Opportunities

The Company may be competing for investment opportunities with entities
which have substantially greater financial resources than the Company. These
entities may generally be able to accept more risk than the Company can
prudently manage, including risks with respect to the creditworthiness of a
hotel operator or the geographic proximity of its investments. Competition may
generally reduce the number of suitable investment opportunities offered to
the Company and increase the bargaining power of property owners seeking to
sell.

Investment Concentration in Single Industry

The Company's current strategy is to acquire interests in hotel properties.
The Company will not seek to invest in assets selected to reduce the risks
associated with an investment in real estate in the hotel industry, and will
be subject to risks inherent in investments in a single industry. The effects
on the Company's cash available for distribution to its shareholders may be
more pronounced than if the Company diversifies its investments.

21
<PAGE>

Seasonality of Hotel Business

The hotel industry is seasonal in nature. Generally, hotel revenues are
greater in the second and third quarters than in the first and fourth
quarters. This seasonality can be expected to cause quarterly fluctuations in
the Company's lease revenues.

Risks of Necessary Operating Costs and Capital Expenditures; Required Hotel
Renovations

Hotels, including the Initial Hotels, generally require ongoing renovations
and other capital improvements, including periodic replacement or
refurbishment of furniture, fixtures and equipment ("FF&E"). In addition,
hotel franchisors typically inspect properties periodically to confirm
adherence to the franchisors' standards with respect to the properties'
physical condition. Under the terms of the Percentage Leases, the Company is
obligated to fund certain capital expenditures at the Initial Hotels and pay
for periodic replacement or refurbishment of FF&E. However, if capital
expenditures exceed the Company's expectations, there can be no assurance that
sufficient sources of financing will be available to fund such expenditures.
The additional cost of such expenditures could have an adverse effect on the
Company's cash available for distribution to its shareholders. Although it
presently has no plans to do so, the Company may acquire hotels in the future
that require significant renovation. Renovation of hotels involves certain
risks, including the possibility of environmental problems, construction cost
overruns and delays, uncertainties as to market demand or deterioration in
market demand after commencement of renovation and the emergence of
unanticipated competition from other hotels.

REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT RISKS

General Risks

The Company's investments will be subject to varying degrees of risk
generally incident to the ownership of real property. The underlying value of
the Company's real estate investments and the Company's income and ability to
make distributions to its shareholders is dependent upon the ability of the
Lessee to operate the Initial Hotels in a manner sufficient to maintain or
increase revenues and to generate sufficient income in excess of operating
expenses to make rent payments under the Percentage Leases. Income from the
Initial Hotels may be adversely affected by adverse changes in national
economic conditions, adverse changes in local market conditions due to changes
in general or local economic conditions and neighborhood characteristics,
competition from other hotel properties, changes in interest rates and in the
availability, cost and terms of mortgage funds, the impact of present or
future environmental legislation and compliance with environmental laws, the
ongoing need for capital improvements, particularly in older structures,
changes in real estate tax rates and other operating expenses, adverse changes
in governmental rules and fiscal policies, civil unrest, acts of God,
including earthquakes, catastrophic wind and other natural disasters (which
may result in uninsured losses), acts of war, adverse changes in zoning laws,
and other factors which are beyond the control of the Company.

Illiquidity of Real Estate

Real estate investments are relatively illiquid. The ability of the Company
to vary its portfolio in response to changes in economic and other conditions
will be limited. Because management believes it is appropriate to value the
Company as an ongoing business rather than through liquidation values of the
Company or the Initial Hotels, the valuation of the Company has been
determined based primarily upon a capitalization of the estimated cash flow
available for distribution and other factors discussed under "Underwriting"
rather than on a property by property basis considering historical cost or
current market value. See "Underwriting." There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to dispose of an investment when it finds disposition
advantageous or necessary or that the sale price of any disposition will
recoup or exceed the amount of the Company's investment.

Uninsured and Underinsured Losses

Each Percentage Lease specifies comprehensive insurance to be maintained on
each of the Initial Hotels, including liability, fire and extended coverage.
The Company believes such specified coverage is of the type and

22
<PAGE>

amount customarily obtained for or by an owner of hotels. Leases for
subsequently acquired hotels will contain similar provisions. However, there
are certain types of losses, generally of a catastrophic nature, such as
earthquakes and floods, that may be uninsurable or not economically insurable.
The Company's Board of Trustees and officers will use their discretion in
determining amounts, coverage limits and deductibility provisions of
insurance, with a view to maintaining appropriate insurance coverage on the
Company's investments at a reasonable cost and on suitable terms. This may
result in insurance coverage that, in the event of a substantial loss, would
not be sufficient to pay the full current market value or current replacement
cost of the Company's lost investment. Inflation, changes in building codes
and ordinances, environmental considerations, and other factors also might
make it infeasible to use insurance proceeds to replace the property after
such property has been damaged or destroyed. Under such circumstances, the
insurance proceeds received by the Company might not be adequate to restore
its economic position with respect to such property.

Environmental Matters

Under various federal, state, and local environmental laws, ordinances and
regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real property may be
liable for the costs of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic
substances on, under or in such property. Such laws often impose liability
whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the
presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. In addition, the presence of
hazardous or toxic substances, or the failure to remediate such property
properly, may adversely affect the owner's ability to use the property, sell
the property or borrow using such real property as collateral. Persons who
arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances may
also be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of such substances at
the disposal or treatment facility, whether or not such facility is or ever
was owned or operated by such person. Certain environmental laws and common
law principles could be used to impose liability for release of asbestos-
containing materials ("ACMs") into the environment and third parties may seek
recovery from owners or operators of real properties for personal injury
associated with exposure to released ACMs or other hazardous materials. In
connection with the ownership of the Initial Hotels, the Company or the
Partnership may be potentially liable for any such costs. Phase I
environmental audits have been obtained, or will be obtained prior to
completion of the Offering, on all of the Initial Hotels from a qualified
independent environmental engineer. The purpose of Phase I audits is to
identify potential sources of contamination for which the Initial Hotels may
be responsible and to assess the status of environmental regulatory
compliance. The Phase I audit reports have not revealed any environmental
liability or compliance concerns that the Company believes would have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, assets or results of
operations or liquidity, nor is the Company aware of any such liability.
Nevertheless, it is possible that these audits do not reveal all environmental
liabilities or compliance concerns or that there are material environmental
liabilities of which the Company is unaware.

Compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (the "ADA"), all public
accommodations are required to meet certain federal requirements related to
access and use by disabled persons. While the Company believes that the
Initial Hotels are substantially in compliance with these requirements, a
determination that the Company is not in compliance with the ADA could result
in imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants. If the
Company were required to make modifications to comply with the ADA, the
Company's ability to make expected distributions to its shareholders could be
adversely affected.

Fluctuations in Property Taxes and Casualty Insurance Premiums

Each Initial Hotel is subject to real property taxes. The real property
taxes on hotel properties in which the Company invests may increase or
decrease as property tax rates change and as the properties are assessed or
reassessed by taxing authorities. Each Initial Hotel will be covered by
casualty insurance. Like real property tax rates, casualty insurance rates may
increase or decrease depending on the claims experience at the Initial Hotels
and as the replacement value of the hotels increases or decreases. The
Partnership is obligated under the Percentage Leases to pay for real property
taxes and casualty insurance. If property taxes or casualty insurance premiums
increase, the Company's ability to make expected distributions to its
shareholders could be adversely affected.

23
<PAGE>

Acquisition Risks; Option Hotels

The Company intends to pursue acquisitions of additional hotels, including
the Option Hotels. Acquisitions entail risks that investments will fail to
perform in accordance with expectations and that estimates of the cost of
improvements necessary to market and acquire hotels will prove inaccurate, as
well as general investment risks associated with any new real estate
investment. The fact that the Company must distribute at least 95% of its
taxable income (excluding net capital gain) in order to maintain its
qualification as a REIT may limit the Company's ability to rely upon lease
income from the Initial Hotels or subsequently acquired hotels to finance
acquisitions. As a result, if debt or equity financing were not available on
acceptable terms, further acquisitions might be curtailed or amounts available
for distribution to shareholders might be adversely affected.

The Company has an option and right of first refusal to purchase the Option
Hotels from the Strategic Partner. The Option Hotels are owned by special
purpose subsidiaries of the Strategic Partner formed to undertake a
collateralized mortgage backed securities financing (the "CMBS Debt"), which
is collateralized by mortgage loans secured by the Option Hotels that prohibit
the payment of such debt and the transfer of the Option Hotels at this time.
The Company and the Strategic Partner intend to proceed with the Company's
acquisition of the Option Hotels, subject to the existing CMBS Debt (which, as
of May 1, 1998, was $85.1 million), as soon as (i) the requisite consents can
be obtained from various third parties as required by the CMBS Debt
agreements, and (ii) the Company's capital structure will enable it to assume
the CMBS Debt in a manner acceptable to the Board of Trustees. The aggregate
purchase price for the Option Hotels will be the Strategic Partner's
undepreciated acquisition costs plus depreciated capital expenditures
associated with such properties. The Company does not expect to exercise its
option to purchase the Option Hotels if the purchase price exceeds the Option
Hotels' fair market value. If the Company completes the acquisition of the
Option Hotels, the Company anticipates that the purchase price will be paid
through a combination of the Company's assumption of the CMBS Debt, the
issuance of Units and cash. However, there can be no assurance that the
required third party consents can be obtained, or when they will be obtained
or that the Company otherwise will complete the acquisition of the Option
Hotels.

RISKS OF LEVERAGE; NO LIMITS ON INDEBTEDNESS

In connection with the acquisition of the Initial Hotels, the Company
expects to borrow approximately $41 million under the Line of Credit
(approximately 26% of the cost of the Initial Hotels). The Company presently
intends to limit consolidated indebtedness to no more than approximately 50%
of the Company's investment in hotels valued at undepreciated acquisition
costs, after giving effect to the use of proceeds from any indebtedness.
However, neither the Company's Declaration of Trust nor its Bylaws limits the
amount of indebtedness the Company may incur, and the Company may modify the
Debt Policy at any time without Shareholder approval. See "Policies and
Objectives with Respect to Certain Activities--Financing." The Line of Credit
will be used to fund a portion of the purchase prices for the Initial Hotels,
to pay certain costs in connection with the closing of the Offering and for
working capital. The Line of Credit may be secured by first mortgages on
certain of the Initial Hotels. Upon completion of the Formation Transactions,
the Company expects that the Line of Credit will be limited to the maximum
principal amount of $75 million and, among other limitations, to a fixed
percentage of the value or cost of the hotels which secure such line. Hotels
acquired in the future may be added as security for the Line of Credit. The
Line of Credit may require lender approval of certain Company actions. Subject
to the limitations described above and other limitations contained in the Line
of Credit, the Company may borrow additional amounts from the same or other
lenders in the future or may issue corporate debt securities in public or
private offerings. Certain of such additional borrowings may be secured by
mortgages on hotels owned by the Company. See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and
Capital Resources," and "Policies and Objectives with Respect to Certain
Activities--Financing" and "Business and Properties--Acquisition Strategy."

There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to meet its debt
service obligations and, to the extent that it cannot, the Company risks the
loss of some or all of its assets, including the Initial Hotels, to
foreclosure. Adverse economic conditions could result in higher interest rates
which could increase debt service

24
<PAGE>

requirements on variable rate debt and could reduce the amounts available for
distribution to shareholders. The Company may obtain one or more forms of
interest rate protection (swap agreements, collars, etc.) to hedge against the
possible adverse effects of interest rate fluctuations. Adverse economic
conditions could cause the terms on which borrowings become available to be
unfavorable. In such circumstances, if the Company is in need of capital to
repay indebtedness in accordance with its terms or otherwise, it could be
required to liquidate one or more investments in hotel properties at times
which may not permit realization of the maximum return on such investments.

NO PRIOR MARKET FOR COMMON SHARES

Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the Common
Shares. The Company has applied to have the Common Shares listed on the NYSE.
See "Underwriting." The initial public offering price may not be indicative of
the market price for the Common Shares after the Offering, and there can be no
assurance that an active public market for the Common Shares will develop or
continue after the Offering. See "Underwriting" for a discussion of factors to
be considered in establishing the initial public offering price. There can be
no assurances that the Company will continue to meet the criteria for
continued listing of the Common Shares on the NYSE.

EFFECT OF MARKET INTEREST RATES ON PRICE OF COMMON SHARES

One of the factors that may influence the price of the Common Shares in
public trading markets will be the annual yield from distributions by the
Company on the Common Shares as compared to yields on other financial
instruments. Thus, an increase in market interest rates will result in higher
yields on other financial instruments, which could adversely affect the market
price of the Common Shares.

RELIANCE ON BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND KEY PERSONNEL

Shareholders have no right or power to take part in the management of the
Company except through the exercise of voting rights on certain specified
matters. The Board of Trustees will be responsible for managing the Company.
The Company also will rely for strategic business direction upon the services
and expertise of the Lessee and Strategic Partner.

The Company is dependent on the efforts of its executive officers,
particularly Messrs. Wilson and Sabin. The loss of their services could have
an adverse effect on the operations of the Company. Each of Messrs. Wilson and
Sabin have entered into an employment agreement with the Company and the
Strategic Partner. See "Management--Employment Agreements." Certain of the
executive officers of the Company, including Messrs. Wilson and Sabin, will
devote some of their management time to the Lessee and Strategic Partner. See
"--Conflicts of Interest."

ABILITY OF BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO CHANGE CERTAIN POLICIES

The major policies of the Company, including its policies with respect to
acquisitions, financing, growth, operations, debt capitalization and
distributions, will be determined by its Board of Trustees. The Board of
Trustees may amend or revise these and other policies from time to time
without a vote of the shareholders of the Company. The Company cannot change
its policy of seeking to maintain its qualification as a REIT without the
approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Common Shares.

The Company's policy currently is that it will not develop hotel properties.
The Company's Board of Trustees will consider development from time to time,
however. If the Board of Trustees determines that the Company will develop
hotels, the Company will be subject to additional risks, including the risks
of construction, significant time lapses between making an investment and
realizing a return and investing in properties with no performance history.
Any decision to develop hotels must be approved by a majority of the
Independent Trustees. See "Policies and Objectives with Respect to Certain
Activities--Investment Policies" and "--Financing."

25
<PAGE>

ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECT OF OWNERSHIP LIMIT, STAGGERED BOARD, POWER TO ISSUE
ADDITIONAL SHARES AND CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF MARYLAND LAW

Potential Effects of Ownership Limit.

For the Company to maintain its qualification as a REIT under the Code, no
more than 50% in value of the outstanding Common Shares may be owned, directly
or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Code to include
certain entities) at any time during the last half of the Company's taxable
year (other than the first taxable year for which the election to be treated
as a REIT has been made). To ensure that the Company will not fail to qualify
as a REIT under this and other tests under the Code, the Company's Declaration
of Trust, subject to certain exceptions, limits direct and indirect ownership
of the Common Shares by any person to no more than 9.9% of the number of
outstanding Common Shares or the number of outstanding Preferred Shares of any
series of the Company (the "Ownership Limit"). The Company's Board of
Trustees, upon receipt of a ruling from the Service, an opinion of counsel or
other evidence satisfactory to the Board and upon such other conditions as the
Board may establish, may exempt a proposed transferee from the Ownership
Limit. However, the Board may not grant an exemption from the Ownership Limit
to any proposed transferee whose ownership, direct or indirect, of Common
Shares in excess of the Ownership Limit would result in the termination of the
Company's status as a REIT. See "Description of Shares of Beneficial
Interest--Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer." The foregoing restrictions
on transferability and ownership will continue to apply until (i) the Board of
Trustees determines that it is no longer in the best interests of the Company
to continue to qualify as a REIT and (ii) there is an affirmative vote of a
majority of the votes entitled to be cast on such matter at a regular or
special meeting of the shareholders of the Company.

The Ownership Limit may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing
a transaction or a change in control of the Company that might involve a
premium price for the Common Shares or otherwise be in the best interests of
the shareholders. See "Description of Shares of Beneficial Interest--
Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer."

Potential Effects of Staggered Board.

The Company's Board of Trustees is divided into three classes. The initial
terms of the Class I, Class II and Class III Trustees will expire in 1999,
2000, and 2001, respectively. Beginning in 1999, trustees of each class will
be chosen for three-year terms upon the expiration of their current terms and
each year one class of trustees will be elected by the shareholders. The
staggered terms of trustees may reduce the possibility of a tender offer or an
attempt to change control of the Company, even though a tender offer or change
in control might be in the best interest of the shareholders. See "Certain
Provisions of Maryland Law and of the Company's Declaration of Trust and
Bylaws--Classification of the Board of Trustees."

Potential Effects of Issuance of Additional Shares.

The Company's Declaration of Trust authorizes the Board of Trustees to (i)
amend the Declaration of Trust, without shareholder approval, to increase or
decrease the aggregate number of shares of beneficial interest or the number
of shares of beneficial interest of any class, including Common Shares, that
the Company has the authority to issue, (ii) cause the Company to issue
additional authorized but unissued Preferred or Common Shares and (iii)
classify or reclassify any unissued Common or Preferred Shares and to set the
preferences, rights and other terms of such classified or unclassified shares.
See "Description of Shares of Beneficial Interest." Although the Board of
Trustees has no such intention to do so at the present time, it could
establish a class or series of shares of beneficial interest that could,
depending on the terms of such series, delay, defer or prevent a transaction
or a change in control of the Company that might involve a premium price for
the Common Shares or otherwise be in the best interest of the shareholders.
The Declaration of Trust and Bylaws of the Company also contain other
provisions that may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a
transaction or a change in control of the Company that might involve a premium
price for the Common Shares or otherwise be in the best interest of the
shareholders. See "Certain Provisions of Maryland Law and of the Company's
Declaration of Trust and Bylaws--Removal of Trustees," "--Business
Combinations," "--Control Share Acquisitions" and "--Advance Notice of Trustee
Nominations and New Business."

THE COMPANY

GENERAL

The Company is a self-advised Maryland real estate investment trust, formed
in April 1998, that intends to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax
purposes. The Company intends to own and acquire stabilized hotel properties
that the Company believes are undervalued in prevailing market conditions and
offer the potential for high current rates of return to the Company, a
substantial dividend to its shareholders, and long term increases in value. At
the present time, the Company has identified such characteristics in
stabilized limited service hotels operating under nationally recognized
franchises. Upon completion of the Formation Transactions, the Company,
through the Partnership, will own the 29 Initial Hotels, with 3,558 rooms. The
Initial Hotels have an average age of approximately nine years and will be
leased under the Percentage Leases to the Lessee, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Strategic Partner. The Strategic Partner is a publicly-owned company and
its common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol "HUDS."

Concurrently with the completion of the Formation Transactions, the Company
will enter into the Strategic Alliance with the Strategic Partner. Pursuant to
the Strategic Alliance (i) the Company will have an option and right of first
refusal to purchase the Option Hotels and any hotel developed by the Strategic
Partner during the term of the Strategic Alliance, (ii) the Company will have
a right of first opportunity to acquire any hotel identified for acquisition
by the Strategic Partner, and (iii) the Strategic Partner will have a right of
first offer to lease any hotel property acquired by the Company that is not
acquired subject to a condition that a specified party serve as lessee or
manager of the property. The Company believes that the Strategic Alliance will
enhance the Company's growth strategy by (i) providing the Company with a
strategic partner that can assist the Company in identifying and evaluating
hotel acquisition opportunities, (ii) providing the Company with a source of
future acquisitions through the Option Hotels and hotels subsequently owned or
developed by the Strategic Partner, and (iii) providing an experienced
operator and lessee of the Company's hotel properties pursuant to the
Percentage Leases.

To facilitate its operating and acquisition strategy, the Company will work
closely with the Strategic Partner, and the two companies have assembled a
management team with extensive experience in the hospitality industry. E.
Anthony Wilson, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the
Strategic Partner, will also serve as Chairman of the Board and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Wilson was named the Hospitality
Valuation Services Hotel Executive of the Year in 1996 and was named to
Advertising Age magazine's list of the top 100 Marketing Executives in 1995.
In addition, John M. Sabin will serve as the Company's President and Chief
Financial Officer and the Strategic Partner's Executive Vice President and
Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Sabin has recently served as Senior Vice
President, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer of Vistana, Inc., a publicly-
owned owner, operator and developer of time share resorts, and previously
served as Vice President--Finance and Vice President--Mergers and Acquisitions
of Choice and Vice President--Corporate Mergers and Acquisitions at Marriott.

Upon completion of the Formation Transactions, the Company will own the 29
Initial Hotels, which include the 26 Initial Fairfield Inns with a total of
3,179 rooms and one Hampton Inn(R) hotel, one Comfort Suites(R) hotel and one
Holiday Inn(R) hotel with a total of 379 rooms. The Initial Hotels will be
leased to the Lessee under seven year leases designed to allow the Company to
participate in increases in revenues at the Initial Hotels and to provide an
incentive for the Lessee to exceed certain target hotel revenues. In the year
ended December 31, 1997 and the quarter ended March 31, 1998, REVPAR at the
Initial Hotels increased by 3.5% and 5.7%, respectively over the same periods
in 1996 and 1997, respectively. The Initial Hotels are located in 16 states,
with 11 Initial Hotels in the midwestern region, nine Initial Hotels in the
northeastern region, three Initial Hotels in the southeastern region and six
Initial Hotels in the western region, of the United States. Upon completion of
the Offering, the Company will acquire the Initial Hotels from two sellers
unaffiliated with the Company for approximately $155.3 million in cash. In
addition, the Company expects to invest approximately $10 million over the
next two years to fund certain PIPs at the Initial Hotels as required by the
respective franchisors.

27
<PAGE>

The Company believes that the operation of the Initial Hotels under
nationally recognized hotel franchises will provide the Company with certain
benefits, such as the franchisors' national reservation systems and
comprehensive physical and operational guidelines. Fairfield Inns are limited
service hotels designed for business and leisure travelers. According to
Marriott, the first Fairfield Inn opened in 1987, and as of March 31, 1998,
346 hotels operated under the Fairfield Inn brand name. Limited service hotels
generally, and Fairfield Inns particularly, do not include restaurants or
lounges and contain little non-revenue producing space. Fairfield Inns are
constructed, maintained and operated in accordance with a comprehensive set of
building, maintenance, operational, record-keeping and reservation system
guidelines designed to insure uniform service, appearance and quality.

The Company is currently negotiating with various lenders to obtain a $75
million Line of Credit. Upon the concurrent completion of the Offering and the
Formation Transactions, the Company expects to incur approximately $41 million
of indebtedness under the Line of Credit (representing approximately 26% of
the Company's investment in the Initial Hotels, at cost). On a pro forma
basis, if the Formation Transactions had been consummated as of January 1,
1997, the Company's FFO, on a fully-diluted basis, for the year ended December
31, 1997 would have been approximately $16.0 million. See note 10 in "Selected
Financial Data." The Company initially intends to make regular quarterly
distributions of $.23125 per share, which, on an annualized basis, would be
equal to $.925 per share or 9.25% of the anticipated Offering Price of $10.00
per share.

THE STRATEGIC ALLIANCE

The Company believes its operating and growth strategies will benefit from
its alliance with the Strategic Partner. The Strategic Partner is an owner and
operator of hotel properties and its common stock is traded on the Nasdaq
Stock Market under the symbol "HUDS." The Strategic Partner was organized in
1987 to develop and franchise a national chain of economy, limited service
lodging facilities operating under the name Microtel(R), which offer downsized
rooms with high quality furnishings at rates below those available at
competing national budget chains. In 1992, the Strategic Partner acquired
Hudson Hotels Corporation, a hotel management and development company. In
1995, the Strategic Partner signed an exclusive Joint Venture Agreement with
U.S. Franchise Systems, Inc., pursuant to which U.S. Franchise Systems, Inc.
purchased worldwide franchising and administration rights for the Microtel
franchise chain. Since entering the Joint Venture Agreement, the Strategic
Partner has focused its efforts on acquiring, managing and developing various
hotel properties, including Microtels.

28
<PAGE>

exceeding levels that the Company's Board of Trustees deems prudent. Thus, the
Company has elected not to proceed with the acquisition of the Option Hotels
at this time. However, the Company intends to proceed with the acquisition of
the Option Hotels as soon as (i) the requisite consents can be obtained from
various third parties as required by the CMBS Debt agreements, and (ii) the
Company's capital structure will enable it to assume the CMBS Debt in a manner
acceptable to the Board of Trustees. The aggregate purchase price for the
Option Hotels will be the Strategic Partner's undepreciated acquisition costs
plus depreciated capital expenditures associated with the properties. The
Company does not expect to exercise its option to purchase the Option Hotels
if the purchase price exceeds the properties' fair market value. If the
Company completes the acquisition of the Option Hotels, the Company
anticipates that the purchase price for the Option Hotels will be paid through
a combination of the Company's assumption of the CMBS Debt, the issuance of
Units and cash. There can be no assurance whether or when the required third
party consents can be obtained or that the Company otherwise will complete the
acquisition of the Option Hotels.

For as long as the Strategic Alliance is in effect, the Company will have an
option and right of first refusal to acquire any hotel properties developed by
the Strategic Partner or its Affiliates. The Company may exercise its option
to purchase any developed hotel within two years of the opening of the hotel
at a price equal to the Strategic Partner's undepreciated cost of such
property plus a development fee equal to 5% of development costs. The Company
does not expect to exercise its option to acquire a developed hotel if the
purchase price exceeds the property's fair market value. The Strategic Partner
currently owns four parcels of land located in Texas and Arizona on which it
is developing Microtel Inns. The Company believes that development of new
hotels by the Strategic Partner will provide the Company opportunities to
acquire well constructed, well positioned and competitively priced hotels,
without the investment and construction risks associated with new hotel
development. The Company currently anticipates that a property developed by
the Strategic Partner will have achieved stabilized operations and cash flows
before the Company would consider purchasing such property. See "Policies and
Objectives With Respect to Certain Activities--Investment Policies."

The Strategic Partner, through the Lessee, will lease and operate the
Initial Hotels and the Option Hotels, if acquired, under Percentage Leases. In
addition, the Lessee will have a right of first offer to lease any hotel
acquired by the Company that is not acquired subject to a condition that a
specified party continue as the manager or lessee of the property.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering are estimated to be $116.9
million (assuming an initial public offering price of $10.00 per share), after
deducting the Underwriters' discounts and commissions and estimated Offering
expenses payable by the Company of $1.5 million. The Company will contribute
the net proceeds of the Offering to the Partnership in exchange for Units in
the Partnership. The Partnership will use the proceeds received from the
Company along with approximately $41 million in indebtedness incurred under
the Line of Credit as follows: (i) approximately $150.4 million in cash to
acquire the Initial Hotels (after application of approximately $4.85 million
in deposits and option payments); (ii) repayment of $1.2 million Strategic
Partner Loan and $4.0 million of Pre-Offering Debt; (iii) payment of $850,000
to the Strategic Partner as reinbursement for certain accounting changes
incurred in correction with the Formation Transactions; and (iv) the balance
of approximately $1.45 million for costs associated with the acquisition of
the Initial Holders and working capital. Neither the Company nor the
Partnership currently has any agreement or understanding to invest in any
specific property other than the Initial Hotels. The Company has options and
rights of first refusal with respect to hotel properties developed or owned or
acquired by the Strategic Partner, including the Initial Hotels, as described
in "The Strategic Alliance."

Pending such uses, the net proceeds will be invested in interest-bearing
accounts and short-term, interest-bearing securities, which are consistent
with the Company's intention to qualify as a REIT. Such investments may
include, for example, government and government agency securities,
certificates of deposit, interest-bearing bank deposits and mortgage loan
participations.

The Strategic Partner Loan and the Pre-Offering Debt to be repaid from the
Offering proceeds were incurred in May 1998, mature on December 31, 1998 (or
the closing of the Offering, whichever is earlier) and bear interest at a rate
of 12% per annum. The Strategic Partner Loan and the Pre-Offering Debt were
incurred to fund the various deposits and expenses in connection with the
Offering and the acquisition of the Initial Hotels. See note 3 of Notes to
Combined Financial Statements and "Certain Relationships and Transactions" and
"Formation Transactions--Benefits to Related Parties.

<PAGE>

DISTRIBUTION POLICY

After the Offering, the Company intends to make regular quarterly
distributions to its shareholders. The Company's ability to make distributions
will be dependent on the receipt of distributions from the Partnership and
lease payments from the Lessee with respect to the Initial Hotels. Initially,
the Partnership's sole source of revenue will be rent payments under the
Percentage Leases for the Initial Hotels. The Company must rely on the Lessee
to generate sufficient cash flow from the operation of the Initial Hotels to
meet the Lessee's rent obligations under the Percentage Leases. The
obligations of the Lessee under the Percentage Leases are guaranteed by its
parent company, the Strategic Partner. The Company intends to make regular
quarterly distributions to holders of the Common Shares initially equal to
$.23125 per share, which, on an annualized basis, would be equal to $.925 per
share, or 9.25% of the anticipated Offering Price of $10.00 per share. The
first distribution, for the period from the closing of the Offering to
September 30, 1998, is expected to be a pro rata distribution of the
anticipated regular quarterly distribution. Based on the Company's pro forma
statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1997, such
distributions would represent approximately 90% of the Company's cash
available for distribution annually. The Company estimates that an
insignificant amount of the initial annual distribution to shareholders will
represent a return of capital for federal income tax purposes. The Company
does not intend to change its estimated distribution per share if the
Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised.

The Company believes that its basis for setting the initial distribution,
which is based on the Company's pro forma FFO per share for the year ended
December 31, 1997, is reasonable. Industry analysts generally consider FFO to
be an appropriate measure of the performance of an equity REIT. FFO, however,
should not be considered an alternative to net income or other measurements
under generally accepted accounting principles as an indicator of the
Company's operating performance or to cash flows from operating, investing or
financing activities as a measure of liquidity. The Company expects to
maintain its initial distribution rate for the remainder of 1998 unless actual
results of operations, economic conditions or other factors differ from the
pro forma results for the year ended December 31, 1997. The estimated
distribution is for the remainder of the year ending December 31, 1998 only.
The Company's actual FFO will be affected by a number of factors, including
changes in occupancy or ADR at the Initial Hotels.

In order to maintain its qualification as a REIT, the Company must
distribute to its shareholders each year at least 95% of its taxable income
(which does not include net capital gains). Under certain circumstances, the
Company may be required to make distributions in excess of cash available for
distribution in order to meet such distribution requirements. In such event,
the Company would seek to borrow the amount of the deficiency or sell assets
to obtain the cash necessary to make distributions to retain its qualification
as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

Distributions made by the Company will be determined by the Board of
Trustees and will depend on a number of factors, including the amount of FFO,
the Partnership's financial condition, capital expenditure requirements for
the Company's hotels, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT
provisions of the Code and such other factors as the Board of Trustees deems
relevant. For a discussion of the tax treatment of distributions to holders of
Common Shares, see "Federal Income Tax Considerations."

(losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property (including
furniture and equipment), plus real estate related depreciation and
amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), and
after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. FFO
does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, is not necessarily
indicative of cash flow available to fund cash needs and should not be
considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of performance
or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. The Company considers FFO to be
an appropriate measure of the performance of an equity REIT in that such
calculation is a measure used by the Company to evaluate its performance
against its peer group and is a basis for making the determination as to
the allocation of its resources and reflects the Company's ability to meet
general operating expenses. Although FFO has been computed in accordance

SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following tables set forth (i) unaudited selected pro forma consolidated
financial data for the Company for the year ended December 31, 1997 and for
the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1998, and (ii) selected combined
historical financial data for the Initial Hotels for each of the years in the
three year period ended December 31, 1997 and for the three months ended March
31, 1997 and 1998, respectively. The selected combined historical operating
and financial data for the three years ended December 31, 1997, have been
derived from the historical combined financial statements of MFI Partners,
Limited Partnership (with respect to the Initial Fairfield Inns), audited by
Arthur Andersen LLP, independent public accountants and the Other Initial
Hotels (the three remaining Initial Hotels) audited by Coopers & Lybrand LLP,
independent public accountants, as set forth in their reports thereon. Such
reports are located elsewhere in this Prospectus. In the opinion of
management, the unaudited financial data includes all adjustments (consisting
only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the
information set forth therein. The results of operations for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 and 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results to
be obtained for the full fiscal year.

The selected unaudited pro forma financial and other data are presented as
if the Formation Transactions had occurred as of January 1, 1997, and
therefore incorporates certain assumptions that are included in the Notes to
the Pro Forma Condensed Statement of Operations included elsewhere in this
Prospectus. The pro forma balance sheet data is presented as if the Formation
Transactions had occurred on March 31, 1998. The pro forma information does
not purport to represent what the Company's financial position or the
Company's or the combined Initial Hotels' results of operations would actually
have been if the Formation Transactions had, in fact, occurred on such date or
at the beginning of the year indicated, or to project the Company's or the
combined Initial Hotels' financial position or results of operations at any
future date or for any future period.

The following selected financial information should be read in conjunction

(1) The pro forma information does not purport to represent what the

been if the consummation of the Formation Transactions had, in fact,
occurred on such date or at the beginning of the period indicated, or to
project the Company's financial position or results of operations at any
future date or for any future period. The summary unaudited pro forma
financial and other data of the Company does not include a material non-
recurring charge of $850 paid to the Strategic Partner to cover expenses
incurred by the Strategic Partner in connection with the Pre-Offering
Debt. The Company intends that such payment will be paid and expensed out
of the Offering proceeds.

(2) The pro forma information is presented as if the Partnership recorded
depreciation and amortization, paid interest on remaining debt after the
Formation Transactions occurred, and paid real and personal property
taxes and property insurance as contemplated by the Percentage Leases.

(3) Represents lease payments from the Lessee to the Company and is
calculated on a pro forma basis by applying the rent provisions in the
Percentage Leases to the historical room revenue of the Initial Hotels
for the period indicated.

(4) Represents depreciation on the Initial Hotels, amortization of
capitalized franchise fees and amortization of stock compensation
expense. Depreciation is computed based upon estimated useful lives of
39.5 and seven years for buildings and improvements and furniture and
equipment, respectively. Franchise fees are amortized over 10 years.
Stock compensation is amortized over the five year vesting period. These
estimated useful lives are based on management's knowledge of the
properties and the hotel industry in general.

(5) Represents real estate and personal property taxes and property and
casualty insurance to be paid by the Company.

(6) Estimated at $150 per quarter for compensation, legal, audit and other
expenses. The pro forma calculations assume that the Strategic Partner
will reimburse the Company for general and administrative expenses in
excess of $150 per quarter for the remainder of 1998.

(7) Based on an assumed annual interest rate on the Line of Credit of 7.5%
for each period presented.

(8) Calculated at 0.5% of partnership's net income.

(9) Pro forma earnings per Common Share is computed by dividing net income
applicable to the holders of Common Shares by the pro forma weighted
average number of Common Shares outstanding. The exchange of Units for
Common Shares will have no effect on diluted pro forma earnings per
Common Share as Unit holders and Shareholders effectively share equally
in the net income of the Partnership.

(10) Industry analysts generally consider FFO to be an appropriate measure of
the performance of an equity REIT. In accordance with the resolution
adopted by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, FFO represents net income
(computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles),
excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring or sales of property,
plus depreciation and amortization on real estate assets (including
furniture and equipment), and after adjustments for unconsolidated
partnerships and joint ventures. For the periods presented, depreciation
and amortization were the only non-cash adjustments. FFO should not be
considered an alternative to net income or other measurements under
generally accepted accounting principles as an indicator of operating
performance or to cash flows from operating, investing or financing
activities as a measure of liquidity. FFO does not reflect working
capital changes, cash expenditures for capital improvements and debt
service on the Initial Hotels. Under the Percentage Leases, the
Partnership will be obligated to fund capital expenditures including free
refurbishment and replacement of FFCE with respect to the Initial Hotels,
which the Company anticipates will approximate 5% of room revenues at
other Initial Hotels. In addition, the Partnership will be obligated
under the Percentage Leases to maintain the underground utilities and
structural elements of the Initial Hotels. See "Business and Properties--
The Percentage Leases".

(11) Represents improvements and additions to the Initial Hotels based on 5%
of room revenues to be made available to the Lessee as described in Note
9 above.

(12) Represents estimated initial distributions to be paid based on the
estimated initial annual distribution rate of $0.925 per share and
12,859,000 Common Shares outstanding for the year ended December 31,
1997.

(13) The Initial Hotel data is derived by adding the selected combined
historical financial data of (i) the twenty-six Fairfield Inn hotels to
be acquired from MFI Partners, Limited Partnership, and (ii) the Other
Initial Hotels, consisting of the one Hampton Inn hotel, one Comfort
Suites hotel and one Holiday Inn hotel. The 26 Fairfield Inn hotels were
owned and managed by entities other than MFI Partners prior to August 5,
1994; therefore, the Company believes that the financial information for
the hotels for the periods prior to the year ended December 31, 1995 is
not comparable, and thus is not relevant to the financial information for
subsequent periods.

(14) Represents departmental costs and expenses, general and administrative,
repairs and maintenance, utilities, marketing, management fees, real
estate and personal property taxes, property and casualty insurance and
ground leases for 1995 through 1997. The pro forma amounts exclude real
estate and personal property taxes, property and casualty insurance and
ground leases.

(15) Hotel EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization from the Initial Hotels and before percentage lease payments
and other Lessee corporate expenses. Hotel EBITDA should not be
considered an alternative to net income as an indicator of operating
performance or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

Upon consummation of the Formation Transactions, the Company will own a 1%
general partnership interest and, through HHT Ltd., a 98.5% limited
partnership interest in the Partnership. In order for the Company to qualify
as a REIT, neither the Company nor the Partnership may operate hotels.
Therefore, the Partnership will lease the Initial Hotels to the Lessee. The
Partnership's, and therefore the Company's, principal source of revenue will
be rent paid by the Lessee under the Percentage Leases. See "Business and
Properties--The Percentage Leases." The Lessee's ability to perform its
obligations, including making rent payments to the Partnership under the
Percentage Leases, will be dependent on the Lessee's ability to generate
sufficient room revenues and net cash flow from the operation of the Initial
Hotels, and any other hotels leased to the Lessee by the Partnership. Each of
the Initial Hotels will be managed by the Lessee under the Percentage Leases.

The following table sets forth certain combined historical information for
the Initial Hotels for the periods indicated:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF THE INITIAL HOTELS

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 1998 to the Three Months Ended
March 31, 1997

Room revenue for the Initial Hotels increased $600,000 or 5.8%, to $12.4
million in the first quarter of 1998 from $11.8 million in the comparable
period in 1997. The primary reason for the increase in the first quarter of
1998 was a 5.7% increase in ADR to $38.82 from $36.72, which was offset by a
0.3% decrease in occupancy to 71.5% from 71.7%. The increase in ADR reflected
increases in room rates in response to improving consumer demand.

Hotel operating expenses increased by $.3 million, or 3.5%, to $9.4 million,
but decreased as a percentage of total revenue to 70.5% from 72.0%. Operating
income before interest expense, depreciation and amortization increased by
11.3% to $3.9 million from $3.5 million.

Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 1997 to Year Ended December 31, 1996

Room revenue for the Initial Hotels increased $1.6 million, or 3.2%, to
$52.9 million in 1997 from $51.3 million in 1996. The primary reason for the
increase in 1997 was a 5.0% increase in ADR to $53.46 from $50.94, which was
offset by a 1.4% decrease in occupancy to 76.2% from 77.3%. The increase in
ADR reflected increases in room rates in response to improving consumer
demand. REVPAR increased 3.5% to $40.75 from $39.36.

Hotel operating expenses increased by $2.1 million, or 5.6%, to $39.2
million, and increased as a percentage of total revenue to 70.0% from 67.8%.
The increase in hotel operating expenses is attributable to additional repairs
and maintenance incurred in 1997 in addition to an increase in minimum wages,
which increased labor costs. As a result of the above, operating income before
interest expenses, depreciation and amortization decreased by 2.7% to $17.1
million from $17.6 million.

38
<PAGE>

Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 1996 to Year Ended December 31, 1995

Room revenue increased $3.0 million, or 6.1%, to $51.3 million in 1996 from
$48.3 million in 1995. The increase in revenue is attributable to a 3.4%
increase in ADR to $50.94 from $49.27, which was augmented by an increase in
occupancy of 1.7% to 77.3% from 76.0%. The increase in room revenue is
primarily a result of (i) increasing ADR reflecting increase in room rates in
response to improving consumer demand and (ii) the recognition of revenue for
the full year in 1996 from one of the Other Initial Hotels, which opened in
August 1995.

Hotel operating expenses increased by $2.6 million, or 7.5%, to $37.1
million from $34.5 million and increased as a percentage of total revenue to
67.8% from 66.9%. As a result of the above, operating income, before interest
expenses, depreciation and amortization increased by 3.1% to $17.6 million
from $17.1 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company is currently negotiating with various lenders to obtain the $75
million Line of Credit. Concurrently with the closing of the Formation
Transactions, the Company will borrow approximately $41 million under the Line
of Credit to fund a portion of the purchase price for the Initial Hotels. The
Line of Credit will also be used to fund future acquisitions and for working
capital. The Line of Credit may be secured by certain of the Initial Hotels.
The Company in the future may seek to increase the amount of the Line of
Credit, negotiate additional credit facilities, or issue corporate debt
instruments. Any debt incurred or issued by the Company may be secured or
unsecured, long-term or short-term, fixed or variable interest rate and may be
subject to such other terms as the Board of Trustees of the Company deems
prudent.

The Board of Trustees intends to limit the consolidated indebtedness of the
Company to approximately 50% of the Company's investment in hotel properties,
valued at un-depreciated total acquisition cost (the "Debt Policy"). However,
the Company's organizational documents do not limit the amount of indebtedness
that the Company may incur and the Board of Trustees may modify the debt
policy at any time. The Company intends to repay indebtedness incurred under
the Line of Credit from time to time, for acquisitions or otherwise, out of
cash flow and from the proceeds of issuances of Common Shares and other
securities of the Company. See "Risk Factors--Risks of Leverage; No Limits on
Indebtedness" and "Policies and Objectives with Respect to Certain
Activities--Investment Policies" and "--Financing."

The Company will invest in additional hotel properties only as suitable
opportunities arise, and the Company will not undertake investments unless
adequate sources of financing are available. The Company expects that future
investments in hotel properties will be financed, in whole or in part, with
proceeds from additional issuances of Common Shares or other securities or
borrowings under the Line of Credit or other credit facilities. The Company
currently has no agreement or understanding to invest in any hotel property
other than the Initial Hotels, and there can be no assurance that the Company
will make any investments in any other hotel properties which meet its
investment criteria. See "Business and Properties--Growth Strategy--
Acquisition Strategy."

The Company and the Partnership intend to spend approximately $10 million
over the next two years to fund certain capital improvements at the Initial
Hotels as required by the franchisors at such hotels and for the replacement
or refurbishment of FF&E, renovation of common areas and improvement of hotel
exteriors at the Initial Hotels. Pursuant to the Percentage Leases, the
Company will be required to fund the costs of certain capital improvements at
the Initial Hotels, which the Company expects to be approximately 5% of room
revenue at the Initial Hotels. The Company intends to cause the Partnership to
spend amounts in excess of 5% of room revenue if necessary to maintain the
franchise licenses for the Initial Hotels and otherwise to the extent that the
Company deems such expenditures to be in the best interests of the Company.
Management believes that such amounts will be sufficient to fund required
expenditures for the foreseeable future.

39
<PAGE>

INFLATION

Operators of hotels in general possess the ability to adjust room rates
quickly. However, competitive pressures may limit the Lessee's ability to
raise room rates in the face of inflation, and annual increases in ADR may
fail to keep pace with inflation.

SEASONALITY

The Initial Hotels' operations historically have been seasonal in nature,
reflecting higher occupancy rates during the second and third quarters. This
seasonality can be expected to cause fluctuations in the Company's quarterly
lease revenue to the extent that it receives Percentage Rent.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

Many computer systems were designed using only two digits to designate
years. These systems may not be able to distinguish the year 2000 from the
year 1900 (commonly known as the "Year 2000 Problem"). Like other
organizations, the Company could be adversely affected if the computer systems
used by it or service providers do not properly address this problem prior to
January 1, 2000. Currently, the Company does not anticipate that the
transition to the year 2000 will have any material impact on its performance.
In addition, the Company has sought assurances from the Lessee and other

BUSINESS AND PROPERTIES

BUSINESS AND INVESTMENT STRATEGY

The Company's business strategy is to acquire stabilized hotels that the
Company believes are undervalued in prevailing market conditions and offer the
potential for high current rates of return to the Company, a substantial
dividend to the Company's shareholders, and long term increases in value. At
the present time, the Company believes that opportunities exist to acquire
undervalued limited service hotels operating under nationally recognized
franchise brands. The Company will seek to enhance shareholder value (i) by
acquiring additional existing hotels that meet the Company's investment
criteria and (ii) by participating in any increased room revenue from the
Initial Hotels and any subsequently acquired hotels through the Percentage
Leases. The Company believes that the Strategic Alliance will be an integral
part of both the Company's acquisition and internal growth strategies by
providing the Company with (i) a strategic partner that can assist the Company
in identifying and evaluating hotel acquisition opportunities, (ii) a source
of future acquisitions through the Option Hotels and hotels subsequently owned
or developed by the Strategic Partner, and (iii) an experienced operator and
lessee of the Company's hotel properties pursuant to the Percentage Leases.

THE HOTEL INDUSTRY

According to Smith Travel Research, the United States lodging industry is
continuing to experience a significant recovery from an extended downturn in
the late 1980's and early 1990's. The Company believes that this broad
industry recovery will contribute to the growth in total revenues and REVPAR
at the Initial Hotels (and hotels subsequently acquired by the Company) which,
through the Percentage Leases, will result in increases in the Company's cash
available for distribution.

Hotel Demand

As reflected in the chart below, demand growth has been strong in the hotel
industry as a whole. The Company believes that limited service hotels have
gained market share within the industry. In the strong economy since 1995,
demand for midscale hotels with food and beverage operations declined from
year to year, and the 10-year growth rate for such hotels was a nominal 0.2%.
Conversely, demand in the limited service sector, the sector currently
targeted by the Company, grew at a rate of 6.4% compounded over the past 10
years. The Company believes this difference in growth is due to a shift in
consumer preferences and the capturing of market share by the limited service
product.

DEMAND CHANGE OVER PRIOR YEAR

Limited Service Segment of the Hotel Industry

From 1991 through 1997, the number of rooms in upper upscale, midscale with
food and beverage, budget chain and independent hotels all decreased in
proportion to the total, while the share of rooms in midscale chain hotels
without food and beverage increased significantly. See "--Market Share Growth
of Limited Service Hotels." Increasing demand has allowed the hotel industry
to maintain positive ADR and REVPAR growth. According to Smith Travel
Research, the average annual increase in room rates for midscale hotels
without food and beverage during the period was 4.8%.

Stability of Limited Service Hotels

GROWTH IN REVPAR AND CPI

Other than during the industry's downturn in 1990 through 1992, hotel REVPAR
growth exceeded inflation. In 1991, REVPAR for the industry declined. However,
REVPAR growth for midscale hotels without food and beverage remained positive
even during the downturn years of 1990 and 1991. From 1992 to 1995, the
midscale hotel without food and beverage sector grew faster than the industry.
Management believes that REVPAR growth at hotels in the midscale without food
and beverage sector has stabilized in 1996 and 1997. Management believes that
full service hotel property REVPAR growth is pulling up the industry wide
numbers at the current time. Additionally, management believes the cost
structure of limited service hotels as well as overall consumer demand for the
limited service product make limited service hotels a more stable hotel
investment through industry cycles.

GROWTH STRATEGY
The Company's primary objective is to enhance shareholder value by
increasing cash flow and distributions per share and working to increase the
long term value of the Common Shares by implimenting its acquisition and
internal growth strategies.

ACQUISITION STRATEGY
The Company intends to acquire additional existing stabilized hotel
properties that the Company believes are undervalued in current market
conditions and offer the potential for high current rates of return to the
Company, a high dividend yield to the Company's shareholders and long term
increases in value. The Company initially intends to focus on the acquisition
of limited service hotel properties with stabilized occupancy and ADR that can
be acquired at prices that are accretive to FFO per share and operate under
strong, national franchise affiliations, such as the Fairfield Inn by Marriott
and Hampton Inn brands.

The Company believes that a substantial number of existing hotel properties
that meet its investment criteria are available at attractive prices.
According to the Smith Travel Research 1997 Host Study, there were 926,634
rooms (approximately 27% of all hotel rooms in the United States) in hotels
classified as midscale chain hotels without food and beverage and economy and
budget chain hotels. The Company believes that, upon completion of the
Offering and concurrent Formation Transactions, it will be the largest hotel
REIT targeting the limited service hotel sector.

The Company currently is negotiating with various lenders to obtain the $75
million Line of Credit. The Board of Trustees intends to limit the
consolidated indebtedness of the Company to approximately 50% of the

44
<PAGE>

Company's investment in hotel properties, valued at undepreciated total cost
(the "Debt Policy"). However, the Company's organizational documents do not
limit the amount of indebtedness that the Company may incur, and the Company's
Board of Trustees may modify the Debt Policy at any time. The Company intends
to repay indebtedness incurred under the Line of Credit from time to time, for
acquisitions or otherwise, out of cash flow and from the proceeds of issuances
of Common Shares and other securities of the Company. See "Risk Factors--Risks
of Leverage; No Limits on Indebtedness," "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital
Resources," and "Policies and Objectives with Respect to Certain Activities--
Investment Policies" and "--Financing."

INTERNAL GROWTH STRATEGY

The Percentage Leases are designed to allow the Company to participate in
growth in revenues at the Initial Hotels and to provide an incentive for the
Lessee to exceed a target level of revenue. The Percentage Leases provide that
a percentage of room revenues in specified ranges will be paid as Percentage
Rent (as herein defined). The percentage of room revenues paid as Percentage
Rent will increase as a higher specified range of room revenues is achieved up
to a target revenue amount, which is above historical and expected
performance, at which point the percentage of room revenue paid as Percentage
Rent will decrease. Pursuant to the Percentage Leases, the ranges of room
revenues specified for purposes of calculating Percentage Rent will be
adjusted upward for inflation under a formula based on annual increases in the
United States Consumer Price Index ("CPI"). See "Business and Properties--The
Percentage Leases." The Lessee will use established systems to manage and seek
to increase revenues at the Initial Hotels, including detailed business and
marketing plans and operating budgets for each Initial Hotel. The Lessee will
employ a mix of marketing techniques designed for each specific hotel, which
may include a toll free reservation number designated for that hotel, direct
corporate sales efforts, and billboard advertising to further capitalize on
Fairfield Inn's and other franchisors' reputations, national advertising,
nationwide toll free reservation numbers and other marketing efforts. The
Percentage Leases require the Company to fund capital expenditures to
regularly maintain and upgrade its hotels. The Company expects that such
capital expenditures on the Initial Hotels will be approximately 5% of total
revenues at the Initial Hotels. Management believes that regular maintenance
and upgrading are essential to establishing strong customer satisfaction and
consistently favorable occupancy levels and rates.

Consolidated REVPAR for the Initial Hotels has increased each year since
1993 and increased at a 5.0% compound annual growth rate from 1993 to 1997.
Management believes that the year-to-year growth in REVPAR since 1993 reflects
the increasing popularity of and demand for limited service hotels in general,
and Fairfield Inn hotels in particular, improving hotel industry conditions
since 1990, an improving economy, marketing practices at the Initial Hotels,
and regular expenditures to maintain and upgrade the Initial Hotels.

In light of the Strategic Partner's anticipated hotel development activities
and the Company's option and right of first refusal to purchase those
developed hotels, the Company has no current plans to develop hotel properties
on its own. The Board of Trustees will from time to time consider hotel
development by the Company and the Company may develop hotels in the future.
In considering development opportunities, the Board of Trustees will review
the availability and pricing of suitable acquisition opportunities, the
availability of suitable sites, the costs and risks of developing hotels, the
availability of development financing, the expected return on the development
projects, as well as any other factors the Board of Trustees deems relevant.
Any decision to develop a hotel will be made by a majority of the Board of
Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees. See "Business and
Properties--Growth Strategy" and "Risk Factors--Ability of Board of Trustees
to Change Certain Policies."

FAIRFIELD INN HOTELS

Twenty-six of the Initial Hotels are licensed to operate as Fairfield Inns.
According to Marriott, the Fairfield Inn brand was developed by Marriott in
1987, the first Fairfield Inn hotel was opened in 1987, and Marriott began
selling Fairfield Inn franchises in 1989. In addition, as of March 31, 1998,
there were 346 Fairfield Inn hotels operating in the United States, Mexico and
Canada.

45
<PAGE>

A Fairfield Inn hotel typically has from 63 to 135 rooms, a swimming pool,
complimentary continental breakfast each morning, a facsimile machine, a
copier, vending machines and smoking and non-smoking rooms. Some Fairfield Inn
hotels have meeting rooms. Rooms usually include an over-sized work desk with
an upholstered chair, a king-sized bed or two double beds, an individually-
operated heating and cooling system and remote-control television with free
cable stations.

THE INITIAL HOTELS

[MAP of United States showing location of Initial Hotels appears here.]

Upon the concurrent completion of the Offering and of the Formation
Transactions, the Company will own the 29 Initial Hotels with 3,558 rooms,
including 26 Initial Fairfield Inns with a total of 3,179 rooms and one
Comfort Suites hotel, one Hampton Inn hotel and one Holiday Inn hotel with a
total of 379 rooms. The Initial Hotels will be acquired from sellers not
affiliated with the Company for approximately $155.3 million. The Initial
Hotels have an average age of approximately nine years and are located in 16
states, with nine Initial Hotels in the northeastern region, three Initial
Hotels in the southeastern region, 11 Initial Hotels in the midwestern region,
and six Initial Hotels in the western region of the United States. The

THE PERCENTAGE LEASES

In order for the Company to qualify as a REIT, the Company cannot operate
hotels. Therefore, the Company will lease each Initial Hotel to the Lessee for
a term of seven years. The Percentage Leases, which provide for rent equal to
the greater of Base Rent or Percentage Rent, are designed to allow the Company
to participate in growth in revenues from the Initial Hotels and to provide
incentives for the Lessee to exceed certain revenue targets. This return is
based on certain assumptions and historical revenues for the Initial Hotels
and no assurance can be given that future revenues for the Initial Hotels will
be consistent with prior performance or the estimates. See "Risk Factors--
Hotel Industry Risks." The Initial Hotels will be operated by the Lessee. Each
Percentage Lease contains the provisions described below, and the Company
anticipates that future leases with respect to its hotel property investments
will contain substantially similar provisions, although the Company's Board of
Trustees may, in its discretion, alter any of these provisions with respect to
any particular lease, depending on the purchase price paid, economic
conditions and other factors deemed relevant at the time. The following
summary is qualified in its entirety by the Percentage Leases, the form of
which has been filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this
Prospectus is a part.

Percentage Lease Terms.

Each Percentage Lease for the Initial Hotels will have a non-cancelable term
of seven years, which is subject to earlier termination upon the occurrence of
certain contingencies described in the Percentage Lease (including,
particularly, the provisions described herein under "Damage to Initial
Hotels," "Condemnation of Initial Hotel" and "Termination of Percentage Leases
on Disposition of the Initial Hotels"). At the end of such initial term, the
Lease may be renewed at terms agreeable to both parties.

Amounts Payable Under the Percentage Leases.

During the term of each Percentage Lease, the Lessee will be obligated to
pay (i) the greater of Base Rent or Percentage Rent and (ii) certain other
amounts, including interest accrued on any late payments or charges (the
"Additional Charges"). Base Rent accrues and is required to be paid monthly.
Percentage Rent is calculated by multiplying fixed percentages by gross room
revenues for each of the Initial Hotels. The percentage of room revenues to be
paid as Percentage Rent generally increases as certain ranges of room revenue
are achieved. However, if room revenues exceed a target amount (which target
is in excess of the Company's projected room revenues), the percent of room
revenues payable as Percentage Rent will decrease. (See the table below.) This
decrease in the percentage of room revenues payable as Percentage Rent is
intended to provide an incentive for the Lessee to exceed a targeted level of
room revenue at the Initial Hotels. Percentage Rent is due within 60 days of
the end of each quarter; however, the Lessee will not be in default for non-
payment of Percentage Rent due in any fourth quarter if the Lessee pays,
within 90 days of the end of such fourth quarter, the excess of Percentage
Rent due and unpaid over the Base Rent with respect to that year.

<PAGE>

The table below sets forth (i) the annual Base Rent, (ii) Percentage Rent
formulas and (iii) the pro forma rent that would have been paid for each
Initial Hotel pursuant to the terms of the Percentage Leases based on pro
forma revenues for the year ended December 31, 1997, as if the Partnership had
owned the Initial Hotels and the Percentage Leases had been in effect since
January 1, 1997. For each Initial Hotel, Percentage Rent would have been
greater than Base Rent, and the pro forma rents shown below represent such
Percentage Rent.

The revenue figures under the "Base Rent" and "Annual Percentage Rent
Formula" columns will adjust upward to reflect increases in the CPI. Beginning
in 1999 and for each year thereafter, Base Rent and the dollar amounts at
which the higher percentage of room revenues begins to be paid to the
Partnership or the Company, as the case may be (the "Rent Break Points"), will
each be increased by 100% of any CPI increase for such year. For the first
three quarters of any year, rent shall be paid in accordance with the Base
Rent and Rent Break Point applicable to the previous year, as adjusted to
account for any CPI increases in the previous year as contemplated herein. Any
CPI increase for the then-current year will be accounted for after the fourth
quarter of the year, and any adjustment to the rent paid for such year
required to account for a CPI increase in such year will be made when the
final Percentage Rent payment for that year is due (90 days after the end of
the year).

Other than real estate and personal property taxes, ground rents, casualty
insurance, the cost of capital improvements and maintenance of underground
utilities and structural elements, which for the Initial Hotels are the
obligations of the Company, the Percentage Leases require the Lessee to pay
rent, insurance, all costs and expenses and all utility and other charges
incurred in the operation of the Initial Hotels. The Percentage Leases also
provide for rent reductions and abatements in the event of damage or
destruction or a partial taking of any Initial Hotel as described under
"Damage to Initial Hotels" and "Condemnation of Initial Hotel."

Guarantee by Strategic Partner.

The Lessee's payment obligations under the Percentage Leases will be
guaranteed in full by the Strategic Partner.

Maintenance and Modifications.

Under the Percentage Leases, the Company is required to maintain the
underground utilities and the structural elements of the improvements with
respect to the Initial Hotels. In addition, the Percentage Leases obligate the
Company to fund periodic capital improvements (in addition to maintenance of
structural elements) to the buildings and grounds comprising the Initial
Hotels, and the periodic repair, replacement and refurbishment of FF&E in the
Initial Hotels, when and as deemed necessary by the Lessee. The Company
estimates that such capital expenditures will approximate 5% of the room
revenues at the Initial Hotels. However, the Company intends to cause the
Partnership to spend amounts in excess of 5% of room revenues if necessary to
maintain the franchise licenses for the Initial Hotels and otherwise to the
extent that the Company deems such expenditures to be in the best interests of
the Company. Management believes that such amounts will be sufficient to fund
required expenditures for the foreseeable future. Except for capital
improvements and maintenance of structural elements and underground utilities,
the Lessee will be required, at its expense, to maintain the Initial Hotels in
good order and repair, except for ordinary wear and tear, and to make non-
structural, foreseen and unforeseen, and ordinary and extraordinary, repairs
which may be necessary and appropriate to keep the Initial Hotels in good
order and repair.

The Lessee is not obligated to bear the cost of capital improvements to the
Initial Hotels. With the consent of the Company, however, the Lessee, at its
expense, may make non-capital and capital additions, modifications or
improvements to the Initial Hotels, provided that such action does not
significantly alter the character or purposes of the Initial Hotels or
significantly detract from the value or operating efficiencies of the Initial
Hotels. All such alterations, replacements and improvements shall be subject
to all the terms and provisions of the Percentage Leases and will become the
property of the Company, upon termination of the Percentage Leases. The
Company will own substantially all personal property (other than inventory)
not affixed to, or deemed a part of, the real estate or improvements thereon
comprising the Initial Hotels, except to the extent that ownership of such
personal property would cause the rents under the Percentage Leases not to
qualify as "rents from real property" for REIT income test purposes. See
"Federal Income Tax Considerations--Requirements for Qualification--Income
Tests."

Insurance and Property Taxes.

The Company is responsible for paying real estate and personal property
taxes and property and casualty insurance on the Initial Hotels (except to the
extent that personal property associated with the Initial Hotels is owned by
the Lessee). The Lessee is required to pay or reimburse the Company for all
liability insurance on the Initial Hotels, with extended coverage,
comprehensive general public liability, workers' compensation and other
insurance appropriate and customary for properties similar to the Initial
Hotels and naming the Company as an additional named insured.

Indemnification.

Under each of the Percentage Leases, the Lessee will indemnify, and will be
obligated to hold harmless, the Company from and against all liabilities,
costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses)
incurred by, imposed upon or asserted against the Company on account of, among
other things, (i) any accident or injury to person or property on or about the
Initial Hotels, (ii) any misuse by the Lessee or any of its agents of the
leased property, (iii) any environmental liability resulting from conditions
arising from any action or negligence of the Lessee (see "Business and
Properties--Environmental Matters"); (iv) taxes and assessments in respect of
the Initial Hotels (other than real estate or personal property taxes and
income taxes of the Company on income attributable to the Initial Hotels); (v)
the sale or consumption of alcoholic beverages on or in the real property or
improvements thereon; or (vi) any breach of the Percentage Leases by the
Lessee; provided, however, that such indemnification will not be construed to
require the Lessee to indemnify the Company against the Company's own grossly
negligent acts or omissions or willful misconduct.

58
<PAGE>

Assignment and Subleasing.

The Lessee will not be permitted to sublet all or any part of the Initial
Hotels or assign its interest under any of the Percentage Leases, other than
to an Affiliate of the Lessee, without the prior written consent of the
Company. No assignment or subletting will release the Lessee from any of its
obligations under the Percentage Leases.

Damage to Initial Hotels.

In the event of damage to or destruction of any Initial Hotel covered by
insurance which then renders the hotel unsuitable for the Lessee's use and
occupancy, the Lessee will be obligated to repair, rebuild, or restore the
hotel or offer to acquire the hotel on the terms set forth in the applicable
Percentage Lease. If the Lessee rebuilds the hotel, the Company is obligated
to disburse to the Lessee, from time to time and upon satisfaction of certain
conditions, any insurance proceeds actually received by the Company as a
result of such damage or destruction, and any excess costs of repair or
restoration will be paid by the Lessee. If the Lessee decides not to rebuild
and the Company exercises its right to reject the Lessee's mandatory offer to
purchase the hotel on the terms set forth in the Percentage Lease, the
Percentage Lease will terminate and the insurance proceeds will be retained by
the Company. If the Company accepts the Lessee's offer to purchase the hotel,
the Percentage Lease will terminate and the Lessee will be entitled to the
insurance proceeds. In the event that damage to or destruction of an Initial
Hotel which is covered by insurance does not render the hotel wholly
unsuitable for the Lessee's use and occupancy, the Lessee generally will be
obligated to repair or restore the hotel. In the event of damage to or
destruction of any Initial Hotel which is not covered by insurance, the Lessee
will be obligated to either repair, rebuild, or restore the hotel or offer to
purchase the hotel on the terms and conditions set forth in the Percentage
Lease. The Percentage Lease shall remain in full force and effect during the
first six months of any period required for repair or restoration of any
damaged or destroyed hotel, after which time, rent will be equitably abated.

Condemnation of Initial Hotel.

In the event of a total condemnation of an Initial Hotel, the relevant
Percentage Lease will terminate with respect to such hotel as of the date of
taking, and the Company and the Lessee will be entitled to their shares of any
condemnation award in accordance with the provisions of the Percentage Lease.
In the event of a partial taking which does not render the hotel unsuitable
for the Lessee's use, then the Lessee shall restore the untaken portion of the
hotel to a complete architectural unit and the Company shall contribute to the
cost of such restoration that part of the condemnation award specified for
restoration.

Events of Default.

Events of Default under the Percentage Leases include, among others, the
following:

(i) the occurrence of an Event of Default under any other lease between
the Company and the Lessee or any Affiliate of Lessee;

(ii) the failure by the Lessee to pay Base Rent when due and the
continuation of such failure for a period of 10 days after receipt by the
Lessee of notice from the Company thereof;

(iii) the failure by the Lessee to pay the excess of Percentage Rent over
Base Rent when due;

(iv) the failure by the Lessee to observe or perform any other term of a
Percentage Lease and the continuation of such failure for a period of 30
days after receipt by the Lessee of notice from the Company thereof, unless
such failure cannot be cured within such period and the Lessee commences
appropriate action to cure such failure within said 30 days and thereafter
acts, with diligence, to correct such failure within such time as is
necessary;

(v) if the Lessee or Strategic Partner shall file a petition in
bankruptcy or reorganization pursuant to any federal or state bankruptcy
law or any similar federal or state law, or shall be adjudicated a bankrupt
or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or shall admit in
writing its inability to pay its debts

59
<PAGE>

generally as they become due, or if a petition or answer proposing the
adjudication of the Lessee or Strategic Partner as a bankrupt or its
reorganization pursuant to any federal or state bankruptcy law or any
similar federal or state law shall be filed in any court and the Lessee or
Strategic Partner shall be adjudicated a bankrupt and such adjudication
shall not be vacated or set aside or stayed within 60 days after the entry
of an order in respect thereof, or if a receiver of the Lessee or Strategic
Partner or of the whole or substantially all of the assets of the Lessee or
Strategic Partner shall be appointed in any proceeding brought by the
Lessee or Strategic Partner or if any such receiver, trustee or liquidator
shall be appointed in any proceeding brought against the Lessee or
Strategic Partner and shall not be vacated or set aside or stayed within 60
days after such appointment. It is possible that a bankruptcy court may
control whether or under what terms the Company may terminate the
Percentage Lease;

(vi) if the Lessee voluntarily discontinues operations of an Initial
Hotel for more than 30 days, except as a result of damage, destruction, or
condemnation; or

(vii) if the franchise agreement with respect to an Initial Hotel is
terminated by the franchisor as a result of any action or failure to act by
the Lessee or its agents.

If an Event of Default occurs and continues beyond any curative period, the
Company will have the option of terminating the Percentage Lease or any or all
other Percentage Leases by giving the Lessee ten days' written notice of the
date for termination of the Percentage Leases and, unless such Event of
Default is cured prior to the termination date set forth in said notice, the
Percentage Leases shall terminate on the date specified in the Company's
notice and the Lessee is required to surrender possession of the affected
Initial Hotels.

Termination of Percentage Leases on Disposition of the Initial Hotels.

In the event the Company enters into an agreement to sell or otherwise
transfer one or more of the Initial Hotels, the Company will have the right to
terminate the Percentage Lease with respect to such hotel upon either (i)
paying the Lessee the fair market value of the Lessee's leasehold interest in
the remaining term of the Percentage Lease to be terminated or (ii) in the 12
months immediately preceding or immediately following the termination of the
Percentage Lease, offering to lease to the Lessee a hotel on terms that would
create a leasehold interest in such hotel with a fair market value equal to or
exceeding the fair market value of the Lessee's remaining leasehold interest
under the Percentage Lease to be terminated.

Franchise License.

The Lessee will be the licensee under the franchise licenses on the Initial
Hotels. Upon the occurrence of certain events of default by the Lessee under a
franchise license, the franchisor has agreed to transfer the franchise license
for that hotel to the Company (or its designee). See "--Franchise Agreements."

Breach by Partnership.

If the Company fails to cure a breach by it under a Percentage Lease, the
Lessee may purchase the relevant Initial Hotel from the Company for a purchase
price equal to the hotel's then fair market value. Upon notice from Lessee
that Lessor has breached the Percentage Lease, the Company has 30 days to cure
the breach or proceed to cure the breach, which period may be extended in the
event of certain specified, unavoidable delays.

Inventory.

All inventory required in the operation of the Initial Hotels will be
purchased and owned by the Lessee at its expense. The Company will have the
option to purchase all inventory related to a particular Initial Hotel at its
fair market value upon termination of the related Percentage Lease.

FRANCHISE AGREEMENTS

Fairfield Inn, Hampton Inn, Comfort Suites and Holiday Inn are registered
trademarks of Marriott, Promus Hotels, Inc. ("Promus"), Choice and Holiday
Hospitality Franchising, Inc. ("Holiday"), respectively. The

60
<PAGE>

Company expects that each of the respective franchisors will approve the
transfer of the franchise licenses to the Lessee upon acquisition by the
Company of the Initial Hotels, subject to any required PIPs.

The Company anticipates that most of the additional hotel properties in
which it invests will be operated under franchise licenses. The Company
believes that the public's perception of quality associated with a franchisor
is an important feature in the operation of a hotel. Franchisors provide a
variety of benefits for franchisees which include national advertising,
publicity and other marketing programs designed to increase brand awareness,
training of personnel, continuous review of quality standards and centralized
reservation systems.

The franchise licenses generally will specify certain management,
operational, recordkeeping, accounting, reporting and marketing standards and
procedures with which the Lessee must comply. The franchise licenses will
obligate the Lessee to comply with the franchisors' standards and requirements
with respect to training of operational personnel, safety, maintaining
specified insurance, the types of services and products ancillary to guest
room services that may be provided by the Lessee, display of signs, and the
type, quality and age of FF&E included in guest rooms, lobbies and other
common areas.

Each franchise license will give the Lessee the right to operate the
particular Initial Hotel until its expiration date. The franchise agreements
will provide for termination at the franchisor's option upon the occurrence of
certain events, including the Lessee's failure to pay royalties and fees or
perform its other covenants under the license agreement, bankruptcy,
abandonment of the franchise, commission of a felony, assignment of the
license without the consent of the franchisor, or failure to comply with
applicable law in the operation of the relevant Initial Hotel. The Lessee will
be entitled to terminate the franchise license only by giving at least 12
months' notice and paying a specified amount of liquidated damages. The
license agreements will not renew automatically upon expiration. The Lessee
will be responsible for making all payments under the franchise agreements to
the franchisors. Under each franchise agreement, the Lessee will pay a
franchise fee based on a percentage of revenue from the Initial Hotels.

FAIRFIELD INN(R) IS A REGISTERED TRADEMARK OF MARRIOTT. HAMPTON INN(R) IS A
REGISTERED TRADEMARK OF PROMUS. COMFORT SUITES(R) IS A REGISTERED TRADEMARK OF
CHOICE. HOLIDAY INN(R) IS A REGISTERED TRADEMARK OF HOLIDAY. NEITHER MARRIOTT,
PROMUS, CHOICE OR HOLIDAY HAS ENDORSED OR APPROVED THE OFFERING. A GRANT OF A
MARRIOTT, PROMUS, CHOICE, OR HOLIDAY FRANCHISE LICENSE FOR THE INITIAL HOTELS
IS NOT INTENDED AS, AND SHOULD NOT BE INTERPRETED AS, AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED
APPROVAL OR ENDORSEMENT BY SUCH FRANCHISOR (OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE
AFFILIATES, SUBSIDIARIES OR DIVISIONS) OF THE COMPANY, THE PARTNERSHIP OR THE
COMMON SHARES OFFERED HEREBY.

OPERATING PRACTICES

The Company's management recognizes the need for aggressive, market driven,
creative management given the competitive conditions in the hospitality
industry. Each of the Initial Hotels will be leased by the Lessee under the
Percentage Leases. The Lessee will utilize the expertise of the Strategic
Partners in the the management of the Initial Hotels. See "The Strategic
Partner and the Lessee."

The Lessee will utilize systems for marketing, rate achievement, expense
management, physical facility maintenance, human resources, accounting and
internal auditing. Each hotel files daily, weekly and monthly reports on items
such as revenues, ADR and payroll (front desk, sales, maintenance and
housekeeping). Expenses are managed by carefully tracking expenses per rented
room as reported on reports designed to quickly identify unusually high or
unexpected expenses. Managers are trained in all aspects of hotel operations,
with particular emphasis placed on customer service. Managers are trained in
negotiation of prices with corporate and other clients and to be responsive to
marketing requirements in their particular markets. The Lessee intends to
devote substantial resources to advertising, and will employ a mix of
marketing techniques designed for each specific

61
<PAGE>

Initial Hotel, which may include individual toll free lines, billboards and
direct marketing, as well as taking advantage of national advertising by the
franchisors of the Initial Hotels.

Each quarter, the general manager of each hotel develops a quarterly
marketing plan with careful attention given to measurable results. Management
monitors the results for each quarter as compared to the plan.

EMPLOYEES

The Company intends to be self-advised and thus will utilize the services of
its officers rather than retain an advisor. The Company initially will employ
five persons. See "Management--Trustees and Executive Officers." The Lessee
expects to employ approximately 500 people in operating the Initial Hotels.
The Strategic Partner has advised the Company that its relationship with its
employees is good.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

Under various federal, state and local laws and regulations, an owner or
operator of real estate may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation
of certain hazardous or toxic substances on such property. Such laws often
impose such liability without regard to whether the owner knew of, or was
responsible for, the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. Furthermore, a
person that arranges for the disposal or transports for disposal or treatment
a hazardous substance at another property may be liable for the costs of
removal or remediation of hazardous substances released into the environment
at that property. The costs of remediation or removal of such substances may
be substantial, and the presence of such substances, or the failure to
promptly remediate such substances, may adversely affect the owner's ability
to sell such real estate or to borrow using such real estate as collateral. In
connection with the ownership and operation of the Initial Hotels, the
Company, the Partnership or the Lessee, as the case may be, may be potentially
liable for such costs.

Phase I environmental audits have been obtained, or will be obtained prior
to the closing of the Offering, on all of the Initial Hotels from various
independent environmental engineers. The Phase I audits are intended to
identify potential sources of contamination for which the Initial Hotels may
be responsible and to assess the status of environmental regulatory
compliance. The Phase I audits include historical reviews of the Initial
Hotels, reviews of certain public records, preliminary investigations of the
sites and surrounding properties, screening for the presence of asbestos,
PCB's and underground storage tanks, and the preparation and issuance of a
written report. The Phase I assessments did not include invasive procedures,
such as soil sampling or ground water analysis.

The Phase I audit reports have not revealed any environmental liability that
the Company believes would have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, assets or results of operations, nor is the Company aware of any
such liability. Nevertheless, it is possible that these reports do not reveal
all environmental liabilities or that there are material environmental
liabilities of which the Company is unaware. Moreover, no assurances can be
given that (i) future laws, ordinances or regulations will not impose any
material environmental liability or (ii) the current environmental condition
of the Initial Hotels will not be affected by the condition of the properties
in the vicinity of the Initial Hotels (such as the presence of leaking
underground storage tanks) or by third parties unrelated to the Partnership or
the Company.

The Company believes that the Initial Hotels are in compliance in all
material respects with all federal, state and local ordinances and regulations
regarding hazardous or toxic substances and other environmental matters.
Neither the Company nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any of the current
owners of the Initial Hotels has been notified by any governmental authority
of any material noncompliance, liability or claim relating to hazardous or
toxic substances or other environmental substances in connection with any of
its present or former properties.

COMPETITION

The hotel industry is highly competitive. Each of the Initial Hotels is
located in a developed area that includes other hotels, many of which are
competitive with the Initial Hotels in their locality. The number of

62
<PAGE>

competitive hotels in a particular area could have a material adverse effect
on revenues of the Initial Hotels or at hotels acquired in the future. See
"Business and Properties--The Initial Hotels."

There will be competition for investment opportunities in upper-economy and
mid-scale hotels from entities organized for purposes substantially similar to
the Company's objectives as well as other purchasers of hotels. The Company
will compete for such investment opportunities with entities which have
substantially greater financial resources than the Company, including access
to capital or better relationships with franchisors, lenders and sellers. The
Company's policy is to limit consolidated indebtedness to less than
approximately 50% of the Company's total undepreciated cost for the hotels in
which it has invested. The aggregate purchase price paid by the Company for
the Initial Hotels is approximately $155.3 million. Upon completion of the
Formation Transactions, the indebtedness incurred under the Line of Credit
will equal approximately 26% of the purchase prices paid by the Company for
the Initial Hotels. The success of the Company's acquisition strategy may
depend on its ability to access additional capital through issuance of equity
securities. The Company's competitors may generally be able to accept more
risk than the Company can manage prudently and may be able to borrow the funds
needed to acquire hotels. Competition may generally reduce the number of
suitable investment opportunities offered to the Company and increase the
bargaining power of property owners seeking to sell.

DEPRECIATION

The Company's initial basis in the Initial Hotels for federal income tax
purposes generally will be equal to the purchase price paid by the Company.
The Company plans to depreciate the depreciable property associated with the
Initial Hotels for federal income tax purposes under either the modified
accelerated cost recovery system of depreciation ("MACRS") or the alternative
depreciation system of depreciation ("ADS"). The Company plans to use MACRS
for the furnishings and equipment in the Purchased Hotels. Under MACRS, the
Company generally will depreciate such furnishings and equipment over a seven-
year recovery period using a 200% declining balance method and a half-year
convention. If, however, the Company places more than 40% of its furnishings
and equipment in service during the last three months of a taxable year, a
mid-quarter depreciation convention must be used for the furnishings and
equipment placed in service during that year. The Company plans to use ADS for
the buildings and improvements comprising the Initial Hotels. Under ADS, the
Company generally will depreciate such buildings and improvements over a 40-
year recovery period using a straight line method and a mid-month convention.

To the extent that the Partnership in the future acquires, directly or
indirectly, hotels in exchange for Units, the Partnership's initial basis in
each such hotel for federal income tax purposes should be the same as the
seller's basis in such hotel on the date of acquisition. Although the law is
not entirely clear, the Partnership intends to depreciate such depreciable
hotel property for federal income tax purposes over the same remaining useful
lives and under the same methods used by the sellers. The Partnership's tax
depreciation deductions will be allocated among the partners in accordance
with their respective interests in the Partnership (except to the extent that
the Partnership is required under Code Section 704(c) to use a method for
allocating depreciation deductions attributable to contributed properties that
results in the Company receiving a disproportionately larger share of such
deductions).

INSURANCE

The Company will keep in force comprehensive insurance, including liability,
fire, workers' compensation, extended coverage, rental loss and, when
available on reasonable commercial terms, flood and earthquake insurance, with
policy specifications, limits and deductibles customarily carried for similar
properties. Certain types of losses, however (generally of a catastrophic
nature such as acts of war, earthquakes, etc.), are either uninsurable or are
not economically insurable. Certain types of losses, such as those arising
from subsidence activity, are insurable only to the extent that certain
standard policy exceptions to insurability are waived by agreement with the
insurer. See "Risk Factors--Real Estate Investment Risks." The Company
believes, however, that the Properties are adequately insured in accordance
with industry standards.

63
<PAGE>

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Neither the Company nor the Partnership is currently involved in any
material litigation nor, to the Company's knowledge, is any material
litigation currently threatened against the Company or the Partnership. The
Strategic Partner has advised the Company that it currently is not involved in
any material litigation, other than as described in the Strategic Partner's
public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The current
owners of the Initial Hotels have represented to the Partnership that there is
no material litigation threatened against the Initial Hotels.

FORMATION TRANSACTIONS

The principal transactions in connection with the formation of the Company
and the acquisition of the Initial Hotels (the "Formation Transactions") are
as follows:

. In April 1998, the Company, HHT Ltd. and the Partnership were formed as
a Maryland real estate investment trust, a Virginia corporation and a
Virginia limited partnership, respectively.

. In May 1998, the Partnership issued 67,742 Units to the Strategic
Partner in exchange for the assignment to the Company of an option to
purchase the Other Initial Hotels. The Strategic Partner paid $630,000
in option payments in connection with obtaining the option to acquire
the three Initial Hotels, which amount will be credited to the purchase
price of such hotels. The Units are redeemable, at the option of the
Strategic Partner, beginning on the first anniversary of the closing of
the Offering, for Common Shares on a one-for-one basis, or cash, at the
Company's option.

. In May 1998, the Company will borrow an aggregate of $4 million from two
individuals (the "Pre-Offering Debt"), including $2 million to be
borrowed from the Sands Partnership, to fund certain earnest money
deposits and other expenses in connection with the Offering and the
acquisition of the Initial Hotels. Interest on the Pre-Offering Debt
accrues at a rate of 12% per annum, and the Company expects to repay the
Pre-Offering Debt in full with a portion of the net proceeds of the
Offering. In addition, the Company will pay approximately $850,000 to
the Strategic Partner to cover expenses incurred by the Strategic
Partner in connection with the Pre-Offering Debt.

. The Partnership will use the net proceeds of the Offering, together with
approximately $41 million of borrowings under the Line of Credit, to
acquire the 29 Initial Hotels from two sellers unaffiliated with the
Company to repay in full the Strategic Partner Loan and the Pre-Offering
Debt which were used to fund certain deposits required in connection
with the acquisition of the Initial Hotels, and to pay expenses incurred
in connection with the Offering and the acquisition of the Initial
Hotels.

. The Company and the Strategic Partner will enter into the Strategic
Alliance, pursuant to which (i) the Strategic Partner will grant the
Company an option and right of first refusal to purchase the Option
Hotels and any hotel developed by the Strategic Partner during the term
of the Strategic Alliance, (ii) the Strategic Partner will grant the
Company a right of first opportunity to purchase any hotel identified
for acquisition by the Strategic Partner, and (iii) the Strategic
Partner will have a right of first offer to lease any hotel acquired by
the Company that is not purchased subject to a condition that a
specified party serve as the lessee or manager.

. In order for the Company to qualify as a REIT, neither the Company nor
the Partnership can operate hotels. Therefore, the Partnership will
lease each Initial Hotel to the Lessee for a term of seven years
pursuant to a Percentage Lease which provides for rent equal to the
greater of fixed annual Base Rent or Percentage Rent. In addition, the
Strategic Partner will guarantee in full the payments to the Company
under the terms of the Percentage Leases. The Lessee will hold the
franchise license for each Initial Hotel.

65
<PAGE>

Following consummation of the Formation Transactions, the structure and
relationships of the Company, the Partnership, the Initial Hotels and the
Strategic Partner will be as follows:

[CHART DESCRIBING STRUCTURE OF THE COMPANY UPON COMPLETION OF THE FORMATION
TRANSACTIONS APPEARS HERE.]

BENEFITS TO RELATED PARTIES

Receipt of Units by the Strategic Partner

Prior to the Offering, the Strategic Partner received 67,742 Units from the
Partnership in consideration for its assignment to the Company of its option
to purchase three of the Initial Hotels. These Units represent approximately
0.5% of the equity interest in the Company on a consolidated basis and will
have a total value of approximately $677,420, based on the Offering Price of
the Common Shares of $10.00 per share, as compared with the $630,000 that the
Strategic Partner actually paid for such option. These Units are convertible
into Common Shares in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement.
See "Partnership Agreement--Redemption Rights."

Payment to the Strategic Partner

Prior to the Offering, the Strategic Partner incurred various costs in
connection with the Pre-Offering Debt, which was incurred to fund expenses
associated with the Offering and the Company's acquisition of the Initial
Hotels. The Company will pay the Strategic Partner $850,000 from the proceeds
of the Offering as reimbursement for such expenses.

The Pre-Offering Debt

Issuance of Shares and Grants of Options to Officers and Trustees

Concurrently with the closing of the Offering, certain officers and trustees
listed in "Management--Executive Compensation" will receive Common Shares and
options to purchase Common Shares, 20% of which vest immediately and the
remainder will vest at various points over the next five years.

shares per year, and 15,000 options to purchase Common Shares at the Offering
Price, which will vest at a rate of 3,000 shares per year, in each case

out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with their services on the Board
of Trustees. No officers or employees of the Company or the Strategic Partner
shall be entitled to receive any additional salary or bonus for serving as a
Trustee.

EXCULPATION AND INDEMNIFICATION

The Declaration of Trust contains a provision which, subject to certain
exceptions described below, eliminates the liability of a Trustee or officer
to the Company or its shareholders for monetary damages for any breach of duty
as a Trustee or officer. This provision does not eliminate such liability to
the extent that it is proved that the Trustee or officer engaged in willful
misconduct or a knowing violation of criminal law or of any federal or state
securities law.

The Company's Declaration of Trust also requires the Company to indemnify
any Trustee or officer who is or was a party to a proceeding, including a
proceeding by or in the right of the Company, by reason of the fact that he is
or was such a Trustee or officer or is or was serving at the request of the
Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity provided
that the Board of Trustees determines that the conduct in question was in the
best interest of the Company and such person was acting on behalf of the
Company. A Trustee or officer of the Company is entitled to be indemnified
against all liabilities and expenses incurred by the Trustee or officer in the
proceeding, except such liabilities and expenses as are incurred (i) if such
person is an Independent Trustee or officer, because of his or her gross
negligence, willful misconduct or knowing violation of the criminal law or
(ii) in the case of the Trustee other than the Independent Trustees, because
of his or her negligence or misconduct. Unless a determination has been made
that indemnification is not permissible, a Trustee or officer also is entitled
to have the Company make advances and reimbursement for expenses prior to
final disposition of the proceeding upon receipt of a written undertaking from
the Trustee or officer to repay the amounts advanced or reimbursed if it is
ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification. Such
advance shall be permissible when the proceeding has been initiated by a
shareholder of the Company only if such advance is approved by a court of
competent jurisdiction. The Board of Trustees of the Company also has the
authority to extend to any person who is an employee or agent of the Company,
or who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a Trustee, officer,
employee or agent of another entity, the same indemnification rights held by
trustees and officers, subject to all of the accompanying conditions and
obligations.

<PAGE>

SHARE INCENTIVE PLAN

The Board of Trustees has adopted, and the current sole shareholder of the
Company has approved, the Share Incentive Plan for the purpose of attracting
and retaining executive officers and employees. The Share Incentive Plan is
administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees, or its
delegate. The Compensation Committee may not delegate its authority with
respect to grants and awards to individuals subject to Section 16 of the
Exchange Act. As used in this summary, the term "Administrator" means the
Compensation Committee or its delegate, as appropriate.

Officers and other employees of the Company generally are eligible to
participate in the Share Incentive Plan. The Administrator selects the
individuals who will participate in the Share Incentive Plan ("Participants").

The Share Incentive Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 1,845,000 Common
Shares. The Plan provides for the grant of (i) share options not intended to
qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code, (ii) Common
Shares, which may or may not be contingent upon the attainment of performance
goals or subject to vesting requirements or other restrictions. The
Administrator shall prescribe the conditions which must occur for Common
Shares to vest or for incentive awards to be earned. The Plan also allows for
the issuance of shares upon the exercise of an option or the vesting or
settlement of a restricted share award granted to employees of the Company's
subsidiaries under compensation plans maintained by such employers; provided
that the Company itself receives payment of the purchase price. The purchase
price must equal the market value of the shares issued; the difference between
what the employee pays and that price will be paid by the subsidiary employer.

Effective as of the closing of the Offering, the Company will grant an
aggregate of 45,000 Common Shares and options to purchase an aggregate of 1.6
million Common Shares at the Offering Price, pursuant to the Share Incentive
Plan, to employees, officers and trustees, including the officers named in "--
Executive Compensation." In connection with the grant of options under the
Share Incentive Plan, the Administrator will determine the option exercise
period and any vesting requirements. The Common Shares granted under the Share
Incentive Plan will vest at a rate of 20% on the date of grant and on the
second through fifth anniversaries of the date of grant, subject to
acceleration of vesting upon a change in control of the Company (as defined in
the Share Incentive Plan). Twenty percent of the initial options awarded to
each individual will become exercisable on the date of grant. In addition, 20%
of the initial options are eligible for vesting on each December 31, for the
years 1999 through 2002 (each an "Eligible Vesting Date"), and will become
exercisable upon the Company's achievement of certain growth rates in FFO per
share. If the Company experiences a compound growth in FFO per share of 10%
per annum as of each Eligible Vesting Date, 50% of the options eligible for
vesting for that year and prior years (the "Eligible Options") will vest. For
each additional percent (above 10%) of growth in FFO per share, an additional
5% of the Eligible Options will vest, such that 100% of the Eligible Options
will vest upon the Company's achievement of a 20% compound growth rate of FFO
per share.

An option may be exercised for any number of Common Shares up to the full
number for which the option could be exercised. A Participant will have no
rights as a shareholder with respect to Common Shares subject to an option
until the option is exercised. To the extent an option has not become
exercisable at the time of a Participant's termination of employment, it will
be forfeited unless the Administrator exercises its discretion to accelerate
vesting for the Participant. If a Participant is terminated due to dishonesty
or similar reasons, all unexercised options, whether vested or unvested, will
be forfeited. Any Common Shares subject to options which are forfeited (or
expire without exercise) pursuant to the vesting requirement or other terms
established at the time of grant will again be available for grant under the
Share Incentive Plan. The exercise price of options granted under the Share
Incentive Plan may not be less than the fair market value of the Common Shares
on the date of grant. Payment of the exercise price of an option granted under
the Share Incentive Plan may be made in cash, cash equivalents acceptable to
the Compensation Committee or, if permitted by the option agreement, by
exchanging Common Shares having a fair market value equal to the option
exercise price.

71
<PAGE>

No option award or Common Shares may be granted under the Share Incentive
Plan more than 10 years after the date that the Board of Trustees approved
such Plan. The Board may amend or terminate the Share Incentive Plan at any
time, but an amendment will not become effective without shareholder approval
if the amendment materially (i) increases the number of shares that may be
issued under the Share Incentive Plan (other than an adjustment or automatic
increase described above) or (ii) changes the eligibility requirements. No
amendment will affect a Participant's outstanding award without the
Participant's consent.

INCENTIVE COMPENSATION

The Company may award incentive compensation to employees of the Company and
its subsidiaries, including incentive awards under the Share Incentive Plan
that may be earned on the attainment of performance objectives stated with
respect to criteria described herein or other performance-related criteria.
The Compensation Committee may, in its discretion, approve bonuses to
executive officers and certain other officers and key employees if the Company
achieves Company-wide, regional and/or business unit performance objectives
determined by it each year. To the extent a bonus exceeds 100% of such an
employee's base salary, the Company may pay such excess in restricted Common
Shares.

THE TRUSTEES' PLAN

The Board of Trustees has adopted, and the Company's current sole
shareholder has approved, the Trustees' Plan to provide incentives to attract
and retain Independent Trustees. The Trustees' Plan provides for the award or
Common Shares and the grant of options to each eligible Trustee of the
Company. No Trustee who is an employee of the Company or a subsidiary of the
Company, or the Strategic Partner is eligible to participate in the Trustees'
Plan.

The Trustees' Plan provides that, as of their date of commencement of
service on the Board, each Independent Trustee will be awarded 3,500 Common
Shares and an option to purchase 15,000 Common Shares. The Common Shares
granted to each Trustee will vest at a rate of 700 shares on the first through
fifth anniversaries of the commencement of an Independent Trustee's service on
the Board. The Company will reserve for issuance pursuant to the Trustees'
Plan 114,000 Common Shares.

To the extent an option has become exercisable under the Trustees' Plan, it
may be exercised whether or not the Trustee is a member of the Board on the
date or dates of exercise. An option may be exercised for any number of whole
shares up to the full number of Common Shares for which the option could be
exercised. A Trustee will have no rights as a shareholder with respect to
Common Shares subject to his or her option until the option is exercised. The
exercise price of options shall be the Offering Price and may be paid in cash,
acceptable cash equivalents, Common Shares or a combination thereof. Options
issued under the Trustees' Plan are exercisable for ten years from the date of
grant.

The terms of outstanding options and the number of Common Shares for which
options will thereafter be awarded shall be subject to adjustment in the event
of a share dividend, share split, combination, reclassification,
recapitalization or other similar event.

The Trustees' Plan provides that the Board of Trustees may amend or
terminate the Trustees' Plan. An amendment will not become effective without
shareholder approval if the amendment materially changes the eligibility
requirements, increases the aggregate number of Common Shares that may be
issued under the Trustee Plan or increases the benefits that may be provided
under the Trustees' Plan. No options for Common Shares may be granted and no
Common Shares may be awarded under the Trustees' Plan after December 31, 2003.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND TRANSACTIONS

The Company and the Partnership have entered into a number of transactions
with the Strategic Partner and Lessee in connection with the organization of
the Company and the acquisition and operation of the Initial Hotels. Certain
of the officers and trustees of the Company also serve as officers and
directors of Strategic Partner and are deemed to collectively beneficially own
approximately 35% of the Strategic Partner. There are no assurances that the
terms of these transactions are as favorable as those that which the Company
could have received from third parties. See "Formation Transactions" and "Risk
Factors--Conflicts of Interest."

THE STRATEGIC PARTNER

Concurrently with the closing of the Offering, the Company will enter into
the Strategic Alliance with the Strategic Partner. Pursuant to the Strategic
Alliance, the Company will have an option and right of first refusal to
acquire the 25 Option Hotels owned by the Strategic Partner. In addition, the
Company will have an option to buy any hotel property developed by the
Strategic Partner within two years of the opening of such property, and a
right of first refusal to buy any property owned, directly or indirectly, by
the Strategic Partner during the term of the Strategic Alliance. The option
permits the Company to purchase the hotel property at a price equal to the
Strategic Partner's total cost associated with the property, plus a fixed
development fee not to exceed 5% of total development costs, for a total
purchase price not to exceed the property's fair market value. The right of
first refusal requires that before a property is sold to a person or entity
other than the Company, the Strategic Partner first must offer the property to
the Company on the same terms and conditions as a proposed sale to a third
party. The Company currently anticipates that a property would have achieved
stabilized operating statistics and cash flows prior to the Company
considering the purchase of such property. All investment decisions relating
to transactions with the Strategic Partner must be approved by a majority of
the Independent Trustees.

RECEIPT OF UNITS BY THE STRATEGIC PARTNER

Prior to the Offering, the Strategic Partner received 67,742 Units in
consideration for their option to purchase three of the Initial Hotels. These
Units represent approximately .5% of the equity interest in the Company on a
consolidated basis and will have a total value of approximately $677,420,
based on the Offering price of the Common Shares of $10.00 per share, as
compared with the $630,000 that the Strategic Partner actually paid for such
option. These Units are convertible into Common Shares in accordance with the
terms of the partnership agreement of the Partnership, as amended and restated
(the "Partnership Agreement"). See "Partnership Agreement--Redemption Rights."

PAYMENT TO THE STRATEGIC PARTNER

REPAYMENT OF INDEBTEDNESS

The Company will utilize approximately $5.2 million of the net proceeds of
the Offering to repay the Strategic Partner Loan and the Pre-Offering Debt,
both of which were incurred to fund deposits and expenses in connection with
the Offering and the acquisition of the Initial Hotels.

ISSUANCE OF SHARES AND GRANTS OF OPTIONS TO OFFICERS AND TRUSTEES

Concurrently with the Offering, certain officers and trustees listed in
"Management--Executive Compensation" will receive Common Shares and options to
purchase Common Shares, 20% of which will vest immediately with the remainder
to vest at various points over the next five years.

73
<PAGE>

THE PERCENTAGE LEASES

The Company and the Lessee will enter into the Percentage Leases, each with
an initial term of seven years, relating to the Initial Hotels. The Company
anticipates that a similar Percentage Lease will be executed with respect to
any additional hotel properties acquired by the Company in the future. See
"Business and Properties--The Percentage Leases." Pursuant to the terms of the
Percentage Leases, the Lessee is required to pay the greater of Base Rent or
Percentage Rent and certain other additional charges and is entitled to all
profits from the operation of the Initial Hotels after the payment of
operating and other expenses.

FRANCHISE LICENSES

The Lessee will hold all of the franchise licenses for the Initial Hotels.
The Company will pay all costs associated with the transfer of the franchise
licenses for the Initial Hotels to the Lessee.

THE STRATEGIC PARTNER AND THE LESSEE

GENERAL

The Company believes its operating and growth strategies will benefit from
its alliance with the Strategic Partner. The Strategic Partner is an owner and
operator of hotel properties and its common stock is traded on the Nasdaq
Stock Market under the symbol "HUDS." The Strategic Partner was organized in
1987 to develop and franchise a national chain of economy, limited service
lodging facilities operating under the name Microtel(R), which offer downsized
rooms with high quality furnishings at rates below those available at
competing national budget chains. In 1992, the Strategic Partner acquired
Hudson Hotels Corporation, a hotel management and development company. In
1995, the Strategic Partner signed an exclusive Joint Venture Agreement with
U.S. Franchise Systems, Inc., pursuant to which U.S. Franchise Systems, Inc.
purchased worldwide franchising and administration rights for the Microtel
franchise chain. Since entering the Joint Venture Agreement, the Strategic
Partner has focused its efforts on acquiring, managing and developing various
hotel properties, including Microtels. During 1996, the Strategic Partner
began a significant expansion program, which included the acquisition of the
Option Hotels and development of six Microtel Inns.

As of May 1, 1998, the Strategic Partner managed 40 hotel properties with
4,474 rooms primarily in the northeastern and southeastern United States,
including Fairfield Inn, Hampton Inn, Comfort Inn and Microtel Inn hotels. Of
the 40 hotel properties that the Strategic Partner manages, 25 are owned by
the Strategic Partner. After the completion of the Formation Transactions, the
Strategic Partner and its subsidiaries will manage 69 hotel properties,
including the 29 Initial Hotels owned by the Company.

To facilitate the operational and acquisition strategies embodied in the
Strategic Alliance, the Company and the Strategic Partner have assembled
overlapping management teams with extensive experience in the hospitality
industry. The Company believes that such overlap in the management of the
Company and Strategic Partner will further align the interests of the two
companies and facilitate the achievement of the Company's objectives.

The Lessee will serve as lessee for each of the Initial Hotels under the
Percentage Leases. Under the Percentage Leases, the Lessee will be responsible
for managing all of the operations of the Initial Hotels. Under the Percentage
Leases, the Lessee generally will be required to perform all operational and
management functions necessary to operate the Initial Hotels. Such functions
include accounting, periodic reporting, front-desk management, guest services,
ordering supplies, advertising and marketing, maid service, laundry, and
maintenance. The Lessee will be entitled to all profits and cash flow from the
Initial Hotels after payment of rent under the Percentage Leases and other
operating expenses. The Lessee or its Affiliates may manage other hotel
properties in addition to the Initial Hotels and the Lessee is not required to
devote all of its time and efforts to the Initial Hotels. The Lessee will hold
the franchise licenses pursuant to which the Initial Hotels are operated.

74
<PAGE>

The Company must rely on the Lessee to generate sufficient cash flow from
the operation of the Initial Hotels to enable the Lessee to meet the rent
obligations under the Percentage Leases. The obligations of the Lessee under
the Percentage Leases are guaranteed by the Strategic Partner.

DESCRIPTION OF SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

The following summary of the terms of the shares of beneficial interest of
the Company does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in
its entirety by reference to the Declaration of Trust and Bylaws of the
Company, copies of which are exhibits to the Registration Statement of which
this Prospectus is a part. See "Additional Information."

GENERAL

The Declaration of Trust of the Company provides that the Company may issue
up to 100,000,000 Common Shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per
share ("Common Shares"), and 20,000,000 preferred shares of beneficial
interest, $0.01 par value per share ("Preferred Shares"). Upon completion of
this Offering and the related transactions, 12,859,000 Common Shares will be
issued and outstanding and no Preferred Shares will be issued and outstanding.
As permitted by Title 8 of the Maryland General Corporation Law (the "Maryland
REIT Law"), the Declaration of Trust contains a provision permitting the Board
of Trustees, without any action by the shareholders of the Trust, to amend the
Declaration of Trust to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of
beneficial interest or the number of shares of any class of shares of
beneficial interest that the Trust has authority to issue.

Both the Maryland REIT Law and the Company's Declaration of Trust provide
that no shareholder of the Company will be personally liable for any
obligation of the Company solely as a result of his status as a shareholder of
the Company. The Company's Bylaws further provide that the Company shall
indemnify each shareholder against any claim or liability to which the
shareholder may become subject by reason of his being or having been a
shareholder or former shareholder and that the Company shall pay or reimburse
each shareholder or former shareholder for all legal and other expenses
reasonably incurred by him in connection with any claim or liability. Inasmuch
as the Company carries public liability insurance which it considers adequate,
any risk of personal liability to shareholders is limited to situations in
which the Company's assets plus its insurance coverage would be insufficient
to satisfy the claims against the Company and its shareholders.

COMMON SHARES

All Common Shares offered hereby will be duly authorized, fully paid and
nonassessable. Subject to the preferential rights of any other shares or
series of beneficial interest and to the provisions of the Company's
Declaration of Trust regarding the restriction of the transfer of shares of
beneficial interest, holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive
dividends on shares if, as and when authorized and declared by the Board of
Trustees of the Company out of assets legally available therefor and to share
ratably in the assets of the Company legally available for distribution to its
shareholders in the event of its liquidation, dissolution or winding-up after
payment of, or adequate provision for, all known debts and liabilities of the
Company.

Each outstanding Common Share entitles the holder to one vote on all matters
submitted to a vote of shareholders, including the election of trustees, and,
except as provided with respect to any other class or series of shares of
beneficial interest, the holders of such Common Shares possess the exclusive
voting power. There is no cumulative voting in the election of trustees, which
means that the holders of a majority of the outstanding Common Shares can
elect all of the trustees then standing for election and the holders of the
remaining shares will not be able to elect any trustees.

Holders of Common Shares have no preference, conversion, sinking fund,
redemption or appraisal rights and have no preemptive rights to subscribe for
any securities of the Company. Subject to the provisions of the Declaration of
Trust regarding the restriction on transfer of Shares of beneficial interest,
Common Shares have equal dividend, distribution, liquidation and other rights.

Under the Maryland REIT Law, a Maryland REIT generally cannot dissolve,
amend its declaration of trust or merge unless approved by the affirmative
vote of shareholders holding at least two-thirds of the shares entitled

77
<PAGE>

to vote on the matter unless a lesser percentage (but not less than a majority
of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter) is set forth in the REIT's
Declaration of Trust. The Company's Declaration of Trust provides for approval
by a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter in all
situations permitting or requiring action by the shareholders except with
respect to: (a) the intentional disqualification of the Company as a REIT or
revocation of its election to be taxed as a REIT (which requires the
affirmative vote of two-thirds of the number of Common Shares entitled to vote
on such matter at a meeting of the shareholders of the Company); (b) the
election of trustees (which requires a plurality of all the votes cast at a
meeting of shareholders of the Company at which a quorum is present); (c) the
removal of trustees (which requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a
majority the outstanding voting shares of the Company); (d) the amendment or
repeal of the Independent Trustee provision in the Declaration of Trust (which
requires the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the Trustees or two-thirds of
the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the matter); (e) the amendment of
the Declaration of Trust by shareholders (which requires the affirmative vote
of a majority of votes entitled to be cast on the matter, except under certain
circumstances specified in the Declaration of Trust that require the
affirmative vote of two-thirds of all the votes entitled to be cast on the
matter); and (f) the dissolution of the Company (which requires the
affirmative vote of two-thirds of all the votes entitled to be cast on the
matter). Under the Maryland REIT Law, a declaration of trust may permit the
trustees by a two-thirds vote to amend the declaration of trust from time to
time to qualify as a REIT under the Code or the Maryland REIT Law without the
affirmative vote or written consent of the shareholders. The Company's
Declaration of Trust permits such action by the Board of Trustees. As
permitted by the Maryland REIT Law, the Declaration of Trust contains a
provision permitting the Board of Trustees, without any action by the
shareholders of the Trust, to amend the Declaration of Trust to increase or
decrease the aggregate number of shares of beneficial interest or the number
of shares of any class of shares of beneficial interest that the Trust has
authority to issue.

PREFERRED SHARES

The Declaration of Trust authorizes the Board of Trustees to classify any
unissued Preferred Shares and to reclassify any previously classified but
unissued Preferred Shares of any series from time to time in one or more
series, as authorized by the Board of Trustees. Prior to issuance of shares of
each series, the Board of Trustees is required by the Maryland REIT Law and
the Company's Declaration of Trust to set for each such series, subject to the
provisions of the Company's Declaration of Trust regarding the restriction on
transfer of shares of beneficial interest, the terms, the preferences,
conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to
dividends or other distributions, qualifications and terms or conditions of
redemption for each such series. Thus, the Board of Trustees could authorize
the issuance of Preferred Shares with terms and conditions which could have
the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a transaction or a change in
control of the Company that might involve a premium price for holders of
Common Shares or otherwise might be in their best interest. As of the date
hereof, no Preferred Shares are outstanding and the Company has no present
plans to issue any Preferred Shares.

CLASSIFICATION OR RECLASSIFICATION OF COMMON SHARES OR PREFERRED SHARES

The Company's Declaration of Trust authorizes the Trustees to classify or
reclassify any unissued Common Shares or Preferred Shares into one or more
classes or series of shares of beneficial interest by setting or changing the
preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions,
limitations as to dividends or distributions, qualifications or terms or
conditions of redemption of such new class or series of shares of beneficial
interest.

RESTRICTIONS ON OWNERSHIP AND TRANSFER

For the Company to qualify as a REIT under the Code, it must meet certain
requirements concerning the ownership of its outstanding shares of beneficial
interest. Specifically, not more than 50% in value of the Company's
outstanding shares of beneficial interest may be owned, directly or
indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Code to include
certain entities) during the last half of a taxable year (other than its first
REIT taxable year), and the Company must be beneficially owned by 100 or more
persons during at least

78
<PAGE>

335 days of a taxable year of 12 months or during a proportionate part of a
shorter taxable year (other than its first REIT taxable year). See "Federal
Income Tax Considerations--Requirements for Qualification." In addition, the
Company must meet certain requirements regarding the nature of its gross
income in order to qualify as a REIT. One such requirement is that at least
75% of the Company's gross income for each year must consist of rents from
real property and income from certain other real property investments. The
rents received by the Partnership from the Lessee will not qualify as rents
from real property, which likely would result in loss of REIT status for the
Company, if the Company were to own, actually or constructively, 10% or more
of the ownership interests in the Lessee within the meaning of Section
856(d)(2)(B) of the Code. See "Federal Income Tax Considerations--Requirements
for Qualification--Income Tests."

Because the Board of Trustees believes it is essential for the Company to
qualify and continue to qualify as a REIT, the Declaration of Trust, subject
to certain exceptions described below, provides that no person may own, or be
deemed to own by virtue of the attribution provisions of the Code, more than
9.9% of (i) the number of outstanding Common Shares or (ii) the number of
outstanding Preferred Shares of any class or series of Preferred Shares (the
"Ownership Limit"). Any transfer of Common or Preferred Shares that would (i)
result in any person owning, directly or indirectly, Common or Preferred
Shares in excess of the Ownership Limit, (ii) result in the Common and
Preferred Shares being owned by fewer than 100 persons (determined without
reference to any rules of attribution), (iii) result in the Company being
"closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code, or (iv) cause
the Company to own, actually or constructively, 10% or more of the ownership
interests in a tenant of the Company's or the Partnership's real property,
within the meaning of Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code, will be null and void,
and the intended transferee will acquire no rights in such Common or Preferred
Shares.

Subject to certain exceptions described below, any purported transfer of
Common Shares or Preferred Shares that would (i) result in any person owning,
directly or indirectly, Common Shares or Preferred Shares in excess of the
Ownership Limit, (ii) result in the Common Shares and Preferred Shares being
owned by fewer than 100 persons (determined without reference to any rules of
attribution), (iii) result in the Company being "closely held" within the
meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code, or (iv) cause the Company to own,
actually or constructively, 10% or more of the ownership interests in a tenant
of the Company's or the Partnership's real property, within the meaning of
Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code, will be designated as "Shares-in-Trust" and
transferred automatically to a trust (a "Trust") effective on the day before
the purported transfer of such Common Shares or Preferred Shares. The record
holder (the "Record Holder") of the Common or Preferred Shares that are
designated as Shares-in-Trust (the "Prohibited Owner") will be required to
submit such number of Common Shares or Preferred Shares to the Company for
registration in the name of the Trust. The Trustee will be designated by the
Company, but will not be affiliated with the Company. The beneficiary of a
Trust (the "Beneficiary") will be one or more charitable organizations that
are named by the Company.

Shares-in-Trust will remain issued and outstanding Common Shares or
Preferred Shares and will be entitled to the same rights and privileges as all
other shares of the same class or series. The Record Holder will receive all
dividends and distributions on the Shares-in-Trust and will hold such
dividends or distributions in trust for the benefit of the Beneficiary. The
Record Holder will vote all Shares-in-Trust. The Record Holder will designate
a permitted transferee of the Shares-in-Trust, provided that the permitted
transferee (i) purchases such Shares-in-Trust for valuable consideration and
(ii) acquires such Shares-in-Trust without such acquisition resulting in a
transfer to another Trust.

The Prohibited Owner with respect to Shares-in-Trust will be required to
repay to the Record Holder the amount of any dividends or distributions
received by the Prohibited Owner (i) that are attributable to any Shares-in-
Trust and (ii) the record date of which was on or after the date that such
shares became Shares-in-Trust. The Prohibited Owner generally will receive
from the Record Holder the lesser of (i) the price per share such Prohibited
Owner paid for the Common Shares or Preferred Shares that were designated as
Shares-in-Trust (or, in the case of a gift or devise, the Market Price (as
defined below) per share on the date of such transfer) or (ii) the price per
share received by the Record Holder from the sale of such Shares-in-Trust. Any
amounts received

79
<PAGE>

by the Record Holder in excess of the amounts to be paid to the Prohibited
Owner will be distributed to the Beneficiary.

The Shares-in-Trust will be deemed to have been offered for sale to the
Company, or its designee, at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i) the
price per share in the transaction that created such Shares-in-Trust (or, in
the case of a gift or devise, the Market Price per share on the date of such
transfer) or (ii) the Market Price per share on the date that the Company, or
its designee, accepts such offer. The Company will have the right to accept
such offer for a period of 90 days after the later of (i) the date of the
purported transfer which resulted in such Shares-in-Trust or (ii) the date the
Company determines in good faith that a transfer resulting in such Shares-in-
Trust occurred.

"Market Price" on any date shall mean the average of the Closing Price (as
defined below) for the five consecutive Trading Days (as defined below) ending
on such date. The "Closing Price" on any date shall mean the last quoted price
as reported by NYSE or other exchange on which the Common or Preferred Shares
are then traded. "Trading Day" shall mean a day on which the principal
national securities exchange on which the Common or Preferred Shares are
listed or admitted to trading is open for the transaction of business or, if
the Common or Preferred Shares are not listed or admitted to trading on any
national securities exchange, shall mean any day other than a Saturday, a
Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in the State of New York are
authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.

Any person who acquires or attempts to acquire Common or Preferred Shares in
violation of the foregoing restrictions, or any person who owned Common or
Preferred Shares that were transferred to a Trust, will be required (i) to
give immediately written notice to the Company of such event and (ii) to
provide to the Company such other information as the Company may request in
order to determine the effect, if any, of such transfer on the Company's
status as a REIT.

All persons who own, directly or indirectly, more than 5% (or such lower
percentages as required pursuant to regulations under the Code) of the
outstanding Common and Preferred Shares must, within 30 days after January 1
of each year, provide to the Company a written statement or affidavit stating
the name and address of such direct or indirect owner, the number of Common
and Preferred Shares owned directly or indirectly, and a description of how
such shares are held. In addition, each direct or indirect shareholder shall
provide to the Company such additional information as the Company may request
in order to determine the effect, if any, of such ownership on the Company's
status as a REIT and to ensure compliance with the Ownership Limit.

The Ownership Limit generally will not apply to the acquisition of Common or
Preferred Shares by an underwriter that participates in a public offering of
such shares. In addition, the Board of Trustees, upon receipt of a ruling from
the Service or an opinion of counsel and upon such other conditions as the
Board of Trustees may direct, may exempt a person from the Ownership Limit
under certain circumstances. The foregoing restrictions will continue to apply
until (i) the Board of Trustees determines that it is no longer in the best
interests of the Company to attempt to qualify, or to continue to qualify, as
a REIT and (ii) there is an affirmative vote of two-thirds of the number of
Common and Preferred Shares entitled to vote on such matter at a regular or
special meeting of the shareholders of the Company.

All certificates representing Common or Preferred Shares will bear a legend
referring to the restrictions described above.

The Ownership Limit could have the effect of discouraging a takeover or
other transaction in which holders of some, or a majority, of shares of Common
Shares might receive a premium for their shares of Common Shares over the then
prevailing market price or which such holders might believe to be otherwise in
their best interest. See "Risk Factors--Anti-takeover Effect of Ownership
Limit, Staggered Board, Power to Issue Additional Shares, and Certain
Provisions of Maryland Law."

CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF MARYLAND LAW
AND OF THE COMPANY'S DECLARATION
OF TRUST AND BYLAWS

The following summary of certain provisions of Maryland law and of the
Declaration of Trust and Bylaws of the Company is subject to and qualified in
its entirety by reference to Maryland law and to the Declaration of Trust and
Bylaws of the Company.

CLASSIFICATION OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES

The Bylaws provide that the number of Trustees of the Company may be
established by the Board of Trustees but may not be fewer than three nor more
than nine. At the closing of the Offering, there will be seven Trustees. The
Trustees may increase or decrease the number of Trustees by a vote of at least
80% of the members of the Board of Trustees, provided that the number of
Trustees shall never be less than the number required by Maryland law and that
the tenure of office of a Trustee shall not be affected by any decrease in the
number of Trustees. Any vacancy will be filled, including a vacancy created by
an increase in the number of Trustees, at any regular meeting or at any
special meeting called for that purpose, by a majority of the remaining
Trustees.

Pursuant to the Declaration of Trust, the Board of Trustees is divided into
three classes of Trustees, with initial terms expiring in 1999, 2000 and 2001,
respectively. Beginning in 1999, Trustees of each class are chosen for three-
year terms upon the expiration of their current terms and each year one class
of trustees will be elected by the shareholders. The Company believes that
classification of the Board of Trustees will help to assure the continuity and
stability of the Company's business strategies and policies as determined by
the Board of Trustees. Holders of Common Shares will have no right to
cumulative voting in the election of Trustees. Consequently, at each annual
meeting of shareholders, the holders of a majority of the Common Shares will
be able to elect all of the successors of the class of Trustees whose terms
expire at that meeting.

The classified board provision could have the effect of making the
replacement of incumbent trustees more time consuming and difficult. More than
one annual meeting will generally be required to effect a change in a majority
of the Board of Trustees. The staggered terms of Trustees may reduce the
possibility of a tender offer or an attempt to change control of the Company
or other transaction that might involve a premium price for holders of Common
Shares, even though a tender offer, change of control or other transaction
might be in the best interest of the shareholders. See "Risk Factors--Anti-
takeover Effect of Ownership Limit, Staggered Board, Power to Issue Additional
Shares, and Certain Provisions of Maryland Law."

REMOVAL OF TRUSTEES

The Declaration of Trust provides that a Trustee may be removed with or
without cause upon the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes
entitled to be cast in the election of Trustees. This provision, when coupled
with the provision in the Bylaws authorizing the Board of Trustees to fill
vacant trusteeships, precludes shareholders from removing incumbent Trustees,
except upon a substantial affirmative vote, and filling the vacancies created
by such removal with their own nominees.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Under the Maryland General Corporation Law ("MGCL"), as applicable to
Maryland REITs, certain "business combinations" (including a merger,
consolidation, share exchange or, in certain circumstances, an asset transfer
or issuance or reclassification of equity securities) between a Maryland REIT
and any person who beneficially owns ten percent or more of the voting power
of the trust's shares or an affiliate of the trust who, at any time within the
two-year period prior to the date in question, was an Interested Shareholder
or an affiliate thereof are prohibited for five years after the most recent
date on which the Interested Shareholder becomes an Interested Shareholder.
Thereafter, any such business combination must be recommended by the board of
trustees of such trust and approved by the affirmative vote of at least (a)
80% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders

81
<PAGE>

of outstanding voting shares of beneficial interest of the trust and (b) two-
thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of voting shares of the
trust other than shares held by the Interested Shareholder with whom (or with
whose affiliate) the business combination is to be effected, unless, among
other conditions, the trust's common shareholders receive a minimum price (as
defined in the MGCL) for their shares and the consideration is received in
cash or in the same form as previously paid by the Interested Shareholder for
its shares. These provisions of Maryland law do not apply, however, to
business combinations that are approved or exempted by the board of trustees
of the trust prior to the time that the Interested Shareholder becomes an
Interested Shareholder. The Company's Board of Trustees intends to resolve to
opt out of the business combination provisions of the MGCL.

CONTROL SHARE ACQUISITIONS

The MGCL, as applicable to Maryland REITs, provides that control shares (as
defined below) of a Maryland REIT acquired in a "control share acquisition"
have no voting rights except to the extent approved by a vote of two-thirds of
the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, excluding shares of beneficial
interest owned by the acquiror, by officers or by trustees who are employees
of the trust. "Control Shares" are voting shares of beneficial interest which,
if aggregated with all other such shares of beneficial interest previously
acquired by the acquiror or in respect of which the acquiror is able to
exercise or direct the exercise of voting power (except solely by virtue of a
revocable proxy), would entitle the acquiror to exercise voting power in
electing trustees within one of the following ranges of voting power: (i) one-
fifth or more but less than one-third, (ii) one-third or more but less than a
majority, or (iii) a majority or more of all voting power. Control Shares do
not include shares the acquiring person is then entitled to vote as a result
of having previously obtained shareholder approval. A "control share
acquisition" means the acquisition of Control Shares, subject to certain
exceptions.

A person who has made or proposes to make a control share acquisition, upon
satisfaction of certain conditions (including an undertaking to pay expenses),
may compel the board of trustees of the trust to call a special meeting of
shareholders to be held within 50 days of demand to consider the voting rights
of the shares. If no request for a meeting is made, the trust may itself
present the question at any shareholders meeting.

If voting rights are not approved at the meeting or if the acquiring person
does not deliver an acquiring person statement as required by the statute,
then, subject to certain conditions and limitations, the trust may redeem any
or all of the Control Shares (except those for which voting rights have
previously been approved) for fair value determined, without regard to the
absence of voting rights for the Control Shares, as of the date of the last
control share acquisition by the acquiror or of any meeting of shareholders at
which the voting rights of such shares are considered and not approved. If
voting rights for Control Shares are approved at a shareholders meeting and
the acquiror becomes entitled to vote a majority of the shares entitled to
vote, all other shareholders may exercise appraisal rights. The fair value of
the shares as determined for purposes of such appraisal rights may not be less
than the highest price per share paid by the acquiror in the control share
acquisition.

The control share acquisition statute does not apply (a) to shares acquired
in a merger, consolidation or share exchange if the trust is a party to the
transaction or (b) to acquisitions approved or exempted by the declaration of
trust or bylaws of the trust.

The Bylaws of the Company contain a provision exempting from the control
share acquisition statute any and all acquisitions by any person of the
Company's Common or Preferred Shares. There can be no assurance that such
provision will not be amended or eliminated at any time in the future.

AMENDMENT

The Declaration of Trust may be amended with the approval of at least a
majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, provided, that
certain provisions of the Declaration of Trust regarding (i) the Company's
Board of Trustees, (ii) the restrictions on transfer of the Common Shares and
the Preferred Shares, (iii) amendments to the Declaration of Trust by the
Trustees and the shareholders of the Company and (iv) the termination of the
Company may not be amended, altered, changed or repealed without the approval
of two-

82
<PAGE>

thirds of all of the votes entitled to be cast on these matters. In addition,
the Declaration of Trust may be amended by the Board of Trustees, without
shareholder approval to conform the Declaration of Trust to the Maryland REIT
law. The Company's Bylaws may be amended or altered exclusively by the Board
of Trustees.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION

The Maryland REIT Law permits a Maryland REIT to include in its Declaration
of Trust a provision limiting the liability of its trustees and officers to
the trust and its shareholders for money damages except for liability
resulting from (a) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money,
property or services or (b) active and deliberate dishonesty established by a
final judgment as being material to the cause of action. The Declaration of
Trust of the Company contains such a provision which limits such liability to
the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law.

The Declaration of Trust of the Company authorizes it, to the maximum extent
permitted by Maryland law, to obligate itself to indemnify and to pay or
reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding
to (a) any present or former Trustee or officer or (b) any individual who,
while a Trustee of the Company and at the request of the Company, serves or
has served another real estate investment trust corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or any other enterprise as a
trustee, director, officer, partner of such real estate investment trust
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or any
other enterprise as a trustee, director, officer or partner of such real
estate investment trust, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust,
employee benefit plan or other enterprise from and against any claim or
liability to which such person may become subject or which such person may
incur by reason of his status as a present or former shareholder, Trustee or
officer of the Company. The Bylaws of the Company obligate it, to the maximum
extent permitted by Maryland law, to indemnify and to pay or reimburse
reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding to (a) any
present or former Trustee or officer who is made a party to the proceeding by
reason of his service in that capacity, or (b) any individual who, while a
Trustee of the Company and at the request of the Company, serves or has served
another REIT corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit
plan or any other enterprise as a trustee, director, officer or partner of
such REIT corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit
plan or any other enterprise and who is made a party to the proceeding by
reason of his service in that capacity against any claim or liability to which
he may become subject by reason of such status. The Declaration of Trust and
Bylaws also permit the Company to indemnify and advance expenses to any person
who served a predecessor of the Company in any of the capacities described
above and to any employee or agent of the Company or a predecessor of the
Company. The Bylaws require the Company to indemnify Trustee or officer who
has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any
proceeding to which he is made a party by reason of his service in that
capacity.

The Maryland REIT Law permits a Maryland REIT to indemnify and advance
expenses to its trustees, officers, employees and agents to the same extent as
permitted by the MGCL for directors and officers of Maryland corporations. The
MGCL permits a corporation to indemnify its present and former directors and
officers, among others, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and
reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in connection with any
proceeding to which they may be made a party by reason of their service in
those or other capacities unless it is established that (a) the act or
omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to
the proceeding and (i) was committed in bad faith or (ii) was the result of
active and deliberate dishonesty, (b) the director or officer actually
received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or (c) in
the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable
cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. However, a Maryland
corporation may not indemnify for an adverse judgment in a suit by or in the
right of the corporation. In accordance with the MGCL, the Bylaws of the
Company require it, as a condition to advancing expenses, to obtain (a) a
written affirmation by the director or officer of his good faith belief that
he has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the
Company as authorized by the Bylaws and (b) a written statement by or on his
behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the Company if it shall
ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct was not met.

OPERATIONS

The Company is generally prohibited from engaging in certain activities,
including acquiring or holding property or engaging in any activity that would
cause the Company to fail to qualify as a REIT.

DISSOLUTION OF THE COMPANY

Pursuant to the Company's Declaration of Trust, and subject to the
provisions of any class or series of shares of beneficial interest of the
Company then outstanding, the shareholders of the Company, at any meeting
thereof, may dissolve the Company by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of all
of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter.

ADVANCE NOTICE OF TRUSTEES NOMINATIONS AND NEW BUSINESS

The Bylaws of the Company provide that (a) with respect to an annual meeting
of shareholders, nominations of persons for election to the Board of Trustees
and the proposal of business to be considered by shareholders may be made only
(i) pursuant to the Company's notice of the meeting, (ii) by the Board of
Trustees or (iii) by a shareholder who is entitled to vote at the meeting and
has complied with the advance notice procedures set forth in the Bylaws and
(b) with respect to special meetings of shareholders, only the business
specified in the Company's notice of meeting may be brought before the meeting
of shareholders and nominations of persons for election to the Board of
Trustees may be made only (i) pursuant to the Company's notice of the meeting,
(ii) by the Board of Trustees or (iii) provided that the Board of Trustees has
determined that Trustees shall be elected at such meeting, by a shareholder
who is entitled to vote at the meeting and has complied with the advance
notice provisions set forth in the Bylaws.

POSSIBLE ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECT OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF MARYLAND LAW AND OF THE
DECLARATION OF TRUST AND BYLAWS

The business combination provisions and, if the applicable provision in the
Bylaws is rescinded, the control share acquisition provisions of the MGCL, the
provisions of the Declaration of Trust on classification of the Board of
Trustees, the removal of Trustees and the restrictions on the transfer of
shares of beneficial interest and the advance notice provisions of the Bylaws
could have the affect of delaying, deferring or preventing a transaction or a
change in control of the Company that might involve a premium price for
holders of Common Shares or otherwise be in their best interest.

MARYLAND ASSET REQUIREMENTS

To maintain its qualification as a Maryland REIT, the Maryland REIT Law
requires at least 75% of the value of the Company's assets to be held,
directly or indirectly, in real estate assets, mortgages or mortgage related
securities, government securities, cash and cash equivalent items, including
high-grade short term securities and receivables. The Maryland REIT Law also
prohibits the Company from using or applying land for farming, agricultural,
horticultural or similar purposes.

POLICIES AND OBJECTIVES WITH RESPECT TO CERTAIN ACTIVITIES

The following is a discussion of the Company's policies with respect to
investment, financing, conflict of interest and certain other activities. The
policies with respect to these activities have been determined by the Board of
Trustees of the Company and may be amended or revised from time to time at the
discretion of the Board of Trustees without a vote of the shareholders of the
Company, except that (i) changes in certain policies with respect to conflicts
of interest must be consistent with legal requirements and (ii) the Company
cannot take any action intended to terminate its qualification as a REIT
without the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Common
Shares.

INVESTMENT POLICIES

Investments in Real Estate or Interests in Real Estate

The Company intends to acquire additional existing hotel properties that the
Company believes are undervalued in current market conditions and that have
achieved stabilized occupancy and average daily rates. The Company believes
that such properties offer the potential for high current rates of return to
the Company, a substantial dividend to the Company's shareholders and long
term increases in value. The Company initially intends to focus on the
acquisition of limited service hotel properties with stabilized revenue
streams that can be acquired at prices that are accretive to FFO per share and
operate under strong, national franchise affiliations, such as the Fairfield
Inn by Marriott and Hampton Inn brands. In addition, the Company may also
consider acquiring limited service hotels such as Marriott Courtyard, Comfort
Suites, Comfort Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Red Roof Inn, Econo Lodge and
Microtel brands. The Company believes that a substantial number of existing
hotel properties that meet its investment criteria are available at attractive
prices.

The Company also believes that the development experience of the officers of
the Company and the Strategic Partner will enable it to identify
underperforming and underdeveloped hotel properties or hotels that would
benefit substantially from rebranding and quality management. The Company will
have a right of first opportunity to acquire any hotel identified for
acquisition by the Strategic Partner and an option and right of first refusal
to acquire the Option Hotels and any hotel property developed by the Strategic
Partner.

Development by the Strategic Partner

The Strategic Partner intends to continue to pursue hotel development
opportunities, and the Company intends to consider the acquisition of hotels
developed by the Strategic Partner. The Company believes that new development
of hotels by the Strategic Partner will provide opportunities to acquire well
constructed, well positioned and competitively priced hotels. For as long as
the Strategic Alliance is in effect, the Company will have an option to
acquire any hotel properties developed by the Strategic Partner. The purchase
price for a developed hotel will be equal to the Strategic Partner's
development costs, plus a development fee of 5% of the development costs, for
a total purchase price not to exceed the property's fair market value. The
option will arise on the date such development hotel is opened and last for
two years. In addition, the Company will have a right of first refusal to
acquire any hotel property owned, directly or indirectly, by the Strategic
Partner during the term of the Strategic Alliance. The right of first refusal
will obligate the Strategic Partner to permit the Company to match any offer
received from a third party to buy the developed hotel property. The Company
currently anticipates that a property developed by the Strategic Partner will
have achieved stabilized operations and cash flows before the Company would
consider purchasing such property. All transactions with the Strategic Partner
must be approved by a majority of the Independent Trustees. See "Management."

Investments in Other Entities

The Company also may participate with other entities in property ownership,
through joint ventures or other types of co-ownership. Equity investments may
be subject to existing mortgage financing and other indebtedness which may
have priority over the equity interest of the Company.

85
<PAGE>

Investments in Real Estate Mortgages

While the Company will emphasize equity real estate investments, it may, in
its discretion, invest in mortgage and other real estate interests, including
securities of other REITs. The Company does not presently intend to invest in
mortgages or securities of other REITs. The Company may invest in
participating or convertible mortgages if it concludes that by doing so it may
benefit from the cash flow or any appreciation in the value of the subject
property. Such mortgages are similar to equity participation, because they
permit the lender to either participate in increasing revenues from the
property or convert some or all of that mortgage to equity.

FINANCING

The Company is currently negotiating with certain lenders to obtain the $75
million Line of Credit. Concurrently with the Offering, the Company intends to
incur approximately $41 million of indebtedness under the Line of Credit to
partially fund the acquisition of the Initial Hotels. To ensure that the
Company has sufficient liquidity to conduct its operations, including making
investments in additional hotel properties and funding its anticipated
distribution obligations and financing costs, the Company is arranging the
Line of Credit. The Line of Credit may be secured by certain of the Initial
Hotels. In addition, the Company intends to make additional investments in
hotel properties and may incur additional indebtedness to make such
investments or to meet the distribution requirements imposed by the REIT
provisions of the Code, to the extent that cash flow from the Company's
investments and working capital is insufficient. The Board of Trustees intends
to limit the consolidated indebtedness of the Company to 50% of the Company's
investment in hotel properties, valued at undepreciated total cost (the "Debt
Policy"). However, the Company's organizational documents do not limit the
amount of indebtedness the Company may incur, and the Company may modify the
Debt Policy at any time.

Borrowings may be incurred through the Partnership or the Company.
Indebtedness incurred by the Company may be in the form of bank borrowings,
secured and unsecured, and publicly and privately placed debt instruments.
Indebtedness incurred by the Partnership may be in the form of purchase money
obligations to the sellers of properties, publicly or privately placed debt
instruments, financing from banks, institutional investors or other lenders,
any of which indebtedness may be unsecured or may be secured by mortgages or
other interests in the property owned by the Partnership. Such indebtedness
may be recourse to all or any part of the property of the Company or the
Partnership, or may be limited to the particular property to which the
indebtedness relates. The proceeds from any borrowings by the Company or the
Partnership may be used for the payment of distributions or dividends, working
capital, to refinance existing indebtedness or to finance acquisitions,
expansions, additions or renovations of hotel properties. See "Federal Income
Tax Considerations--Requirements for Qualification--Distribution
Requirements."

If the Board of Trustees determines that the Company needs to raise
additional equity capital, the Board has the authority, without shareholder
approval, to issue additional Common Shares, Preferred Shares or other shares
of beneficial interest of the Company in any manner (and on such terms and for
such consideration) as it deems appropriate, including in exchange for
property. Existing shareholders have no preemptive right to purchase shares
issued in any offering, and any such offering might cause a dilution of a
shareholder's investment in the Company.

The Company may make investments other than as previously described,
although it does not currently intend to do so.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICIES

The Company has adopted certain policies and entered into certain agreements
designed to minimize potential conflicts of interest. The Company's Board of
Trustees is subject to certain provisions of Maryland law, which are designed
to eliminate or minimize certain potential conflicts of interest. However,
there can be no

86
<PAGE>

assurance that these policies always will be successful in eliminating the
influence of such conflicts, and if they are not successful, decisions could
be made that might fail to reflect fully the interests of all shareholders.

Declaration of Trust and Bylaw Provisions

The Company's Declaration of Trust, with limited exceptions, requires that a
majority of the Company's Board of Trustees be comprised of persons who are
not, and who within the last two years have not been, (i) officers, directors
or employees of the Company, the Strategic Partner or an Affiliate of the
Company or (ii) an owner of greater than a 10% interest in the Strategic
Partner or any Affiliate of the Company. Such persons making up a majority of
the Board of Trustees are referred to as "Independent Trustees." The
Declaration of Trust will provide that such Independent Trustee requirement
may not be amended, altered, changed or repealed without the affirmative vote
of at least two-thirds of the members of the Board of Trustees or the
affirmative vote of the holders of not less than two-thirds of the outstanding
Common Shares (and other shares of beneficial interest of the Company entitled
to vote, if any exist). The Bylaws provide that any action pertaining to any
transaction in which the Company is purchasing, selling, leasing or mortgaging
any real estate asset or engaging in any other transaction in which the
Strategic Partner or any advisor, Trustee or officer of the Company, the
Strategic Partner any lessee or contract manager of any property of the
Company or any Affiliate of the foregoing has any direct or indirect interest,
must be approved by a majority of the Trustees, including a majority of the
Independent Trustees. This provision of the Bylaws may not be amended,
altered, changed or repealed without the affirmative vote of at least a
majority of the members of the Board of Trustees including a majority of the
Independent Trustees or the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than
two-thirds of the outstanding Common Shares (and other shares of beneficial
interest of the Company entitled to vote, if any exist).

Provisions of the Percentage Leases and the Strategic Alliance

The Strategic Partner may develop new hotel properties provided that unless
approved in advance by the Company, no new development may be located within 3
miles of any hotel property in which the Company or the Partnership has
invested. The Company will have a right of first refusal to acquire on the
same terms proposed by any bona fide offer any new hotel properties developed
by the Strategic Partner and will also have an option to acquire such hotel
developments at any time within two years after the development hotel opens
for business. The option price will be an amount equal to the Strategic
Partner's development cost, plus a development fee of 5% of the development
cost, for a total acquisition cost not to exceed the property's fair market
value. In addition, the Strategic Partner has agreed that neither it nor any
of its Affiliates will receive any brokerage commissions with respect to hotel
properties purchased by the Company. The Strategic Alliance may be amended
only upon the consent in writing of the parties thereto.

The Partnership

Although HHT Ltd. and the Strategic Partner will be the sole initial limited
partners of the Partnership upon completion of the Offering, the Company may
issue Units in exchange for properties subsequent to the Offering, thus
creating additional limited partners in the Partnership. A conflict of
interest may arise between the Company, as general partner of the Partnership,
and any future limited partners of the Partnership, due to the differing
potential tax liability to the Company and the limited partners from the sale
of a hotel resulting from the differing tax bases of the Company and the
limited partners in such hotel. In an effort to address this conflict of
interest, the Company's Bylaws provide that the Company's decisions with
respect to the sale of a hotel will be made by the Independent Trustees. The
Partnership Agreement gives the Company, as General Partner of the
Partnership, full, complete and exclusive discretion in managing and
controlling the business of the Partnership and in making all decisions
affecting the business and assets of the Partnership.

Provisions of Maryland Law

Pursuant to Maryland law (the jurisdiction under which the Company is
organized), each Trustee is required to discharge his duties in good faith,
with the care an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would exercise

87
<PAGE>

under similar circumstances and in a manner he reasonably believes to be in
the best interest of the Company. In addition, under Maryland law, a
transaction between the Company and any of its Trustees or between the Company
and a corporation, firm or other entity in which a Trustee is a director or
has a material financial interest is not void or voidable solely because of
the Trustee's directorship or the Trustee's interest in the transaction if (i)
the transaction is authorized, approved or ratified, after disclosure of the
interest, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the disinterested Trustees,
or by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by shareholders
entitled to vote other than the votes of shares owned of record or
beneficially by the interested Trustee or corporation, firm or other entity,
or (ii) the transaction is fair and reasonable to the Company.

POLICIES WITH RESPECT TO OTHER ACTIVITIES

The Company has authority to offer shares of beneficial interest or other
securities and to repurchase or otherwise reacquire its shares or any other
securities and may engage in such activities in the future. The Company has
not issued Common Shares, interests or any other securities to date, except in
connection with the formation of the Company. The Company has no outstanding
loans to other entities or persons, including its officers and Trustees. The
Company has not engaged in trading, underwriting or agency distribution or
sale of securities of other issuers, nor has the Company invested in the
securities of other issuers other than the Partnership for the purpose of
exercising control. The Company intends to make investments in such a way that
it will not be treated as an investment company under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended.

At all times, the Company intends to make investments in such a manner
consistent with the requirements of the Code for the Company to qualify as a
REIT unless, because of changing circumstances or changes in the Code (or in
Treasury Regulations), the Company's Board of Trustees, with the consent of
the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding Common Shares, determines that it
is no longer in the best interests of the Company to qualify as a REIT.

WORKING CAPITAL RESERVES

The Company will initially have minimal working capital reserves. In the
future, the Company intends to set aside undistributed cash in amounts that
the Board of Trustees determines to be adequate to meet normal contingencies
in connection with the operation of the Company's business and investments.
The Company anticipates that it will obtain the Line of Credit, which may
assist the Company in meeting its distribution and working capital needs
during its initial year of operation.

SHARES AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Upon completion of the Offering, the Company will have outstanding (or
reserved for isuance upon redemption of Units) 12,926,742 Common Shares. The
Common Shares issued in the Offering and the Common Shares issuable upon
redemption will be freely tradeable by persons other than Affiliates of the
Company without resriction under the Securities Act, subject to certain
limitations on ownership set forth in the Declaration of Trust. Common Shares
issued to executive officers and key employees pursuant to the Share Incentive
Plan, Common Shares issued to the Independent Trustees directly by the Company
or pursuant to the Trustees' Plan and Common Shares issuable to the Strategic
Partner upon conversion of Units are "restricted" securities under the meaning
of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act ("Rule 144") and may not be
sold in the absence of registration under the Securities Act unless an
exemption from registration is available, including the exemptions contained
in Rule 144.

88
<PAGE>

In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, if one year has elapsed
since the later of the date of acquisition of restrticted shares from the
Company or any "Affiliate" of the Company, as that term is defined under the
Securities Act, the acquirer or subsequent holder thereof is entitled to sell
within any three-month period a number of shares that does not exceed the
greater of 1% of the then-outstanding shares or of the average weekly trading
volume of the shares during the four calendar weeks preceding the date on
which notice of the sale is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Sales under Rule 144 also are subject to certain manner of sale provisions,
notice requirements and the availability of current public information about
the Company. If two years have elapsed since the date of acquisition of
restricted shares from the Company or from any "Affiliate" of the Company, and
the acquirer or subsequent holder thereof is deemed not to have been an
"Affiliate" of the Company at any time during the 90 days preceding a sale,
such person would be entitled to sell such shares in the public market under
Rule 144(k) without regard to the volume limitations, manner of sale
provisions, public information requirements or notice requirements.

The Company has agreed to file, as soon as practicable after the later of
(i) the first anniversary of the closing of the Offering or (ii) the request
of any holder of Units, a registration statement with the Securities and
Exchange Commission for the purpose of registering the sale of Common Shares
issuable to holders of Units upon redemption thereof. The Company will use its
best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective and to keep
it effective for a period of two years. Upon effectiveness of such
registration statement, those persons who receive Common Shares upon
redemption of Units may sell such shares in the secondary market without being
subject to the volume limitations or other requirements of Rule 144. The
Company will bear expenses incident to its registration requirements, except
that such expenses shall not include any underwriting discounts or
commissions, Securities and Exchange Commission or state securities
registration fees or transfer taxes relating to such shares. Registration
rights may be granted to future sellers of hotel properties to the Partnership
who elect to receive in lieu of cash, Common Shares, Units, or other
securities convertible into Common Shares.

Prior to the date of this Prospectus, there has been no public market for
the Common Shares. Trading of the Common Shares on the NYSE is expected to
commence following the completion of the Offering. No prediction can be made
as to the effect, if any, that future sales of shares, or the availability of
shares for future sale, will have on the market price prevailing from time to
time. Sales of substantial amounts of Common Shares, or the perception that
such sales could occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices of the
Common Shares.

For a description of certain restrictions on transfers of Common Shares held
by certain Shareholders, see "Underwriting."

PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

The following summary of the Partnership Agreement, and the descriptions of
certain provisions thereof set forth elsewhere in this Prospectus, is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the Partnership Agreement, which is
filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is
a part. Although the Company, through HHT Ltd., and the Strategic Partner will
be the sole limited partners of the Partnership upon completion of the
Offering, the Company may issue Units in exchange for properties subsequent to
the Offering, thus creating additional limited partners in the Partnership.

MANAGEMENT

The Partnership has been organized as a Virginia limited partnership
pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement. Pursuant to the
Partnership Agreement, the Company, as the sole general partner of the
Partnership, will have full, exclusive and complete responsibility and
discretion in the management and control of the Partnership, and the limited
partners will have no authority in their capacity as limited partners to
transact business for, or participate in the management activities or
decisions of, the Partnership. However, any amendment to the Partnership
Agreement that would affect the Redemption Rights (as defined herein) would
require the consent of limited partners (other than HHT Ltd.) holding more
than 50% of the Units held by such partners.

TRANSFERABILITY OF INTERESTS

The Company may not voluntarily withdraw from the Partnership or transfer or
assign its interest in the Partnership unless the transaction in which such
withdrawal or transfer occurs results in the limited partners receiving
property in an amount equal to the amount they would have received had they
exercised their Redemption Rights immediately prior to such transaction, or
unless the successor to the Company contributes substantially all of its
assets to the Partnership in return for an interest in the Partnership. With
certain limited exceptions, the limited partners may not transfer their
interests in the Partnership, in whole or in part, without the written consent
of the Company, which consent the Company may withhold in its sole discretion.
The Company may not consent to any transfer that would cause the Partnership
to be treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes.

CAPITAL CONTRIBUTION

The Company will contribute, directly and through HHT Ltd., to the
Partnership substantially all the net proceeds of the Offering as its initial
capital contribution in exchange for a 1% general partnership interest and
98.5% limited partnership interest in the Partnership. Although the
Partnership will receive substantially all the net proceeds of the Offering,
the Company will be deemed to have made a capital contribution to the
Partnership in the amount of substantially all the gross proceeds of the
Offering and the Partnership will be deemed simultaneously to have paid the
Underwriter's selling commissions and other expenses paid or incurred in
connection with the Offering. The Partnership Agreement provides that if the
Partnership requires additional funds at any time or from time to time in
excess of funds available to the Partnership from borrowing or capital
contributions, the Company may borrow such funds from a financial institution
or other lender and lend such funds to the Partnership on the same terms and
conditions as are applicable to the Company's borrowing of such funds. Under
the Partnership Agreement, the Company generally is obligated to contribute
the proceeds of a securities offering as additional capital to the
Partnership. Moreover, the Company is authorized to cause the Partnership to
issue partnership interests for less than fair market value if the Company has
concluded in good faith that such issuance is in the best interests of the
Company and the Partnership. If the Company so contributes additional capital
to the Partnership, the Company will receive additional Units and the
Company's percentage interest in the Partnership will be increased on a
proportionate basis based upon the amount of such additional capital
contributions. Conversely, the percentage interests of the limited partners
will be decreased on a proportionate basis in the event of additional capital
contributions by the Company. In addition, if the Company contributes
additional capital to the Partnership, the Company will revalue the property
of the Partnership to its

90
<PAGE>

fair market value (as determined by the Company) and the capital accounts of
the partners will be adjusted to reflect the manner in which the unrealized
gain or loss inherent in such property (that has not been reflected in the
capital accounts previously) would be allocated among the partners under the
terms of the Partnership Agreement if there were a taxable disposition of such
property for such fair market value on the date of the revaluation.

REDEMPTION RIGHTS

Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the limited partners (other than HHT
Ltd.) will receive the Redemption Rights (the "Redemption Rights"), which will
enable them to cause the Partnership to redeem their interests in the
Partnership in exchange for cash or, at the option of the Company, Common
Shares on a one-for-one basis. The redemption price will be paid in cash at
the discretion of the Company or in the event that the issuance of Common
Shares to the redeeming Limited Partner would (i) result in any person owning,
directly or indirectly, Common Shares in excess of the Ownership Limit, (ii)
result in shares of beneficial interest of the Company being owned by fewer
than 100 persons (determined without reference to any rules of attribution),
(iii) result in the Company being "closely held" within the meaning of Section
856(h) of the Code, (iv) cause the Company to own, actually or constructively,
10% or more of the ownership interests in a tenant of the Company's or the
Partnership's real property, within the meaning of Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the
Code, or (v) cause the acquisition of Common Shares by such redeeming Limited
Partner to be "integrated" with any other distribution of Common Shares for
purposes of complying with the Securities Act. The Redemption Rights may be
exercised by the limited partners, at any time after one year following the
Closing Date, provided that (i) each Limited Partner may not exercise the
Redemption Right for fewer than 1,000 Units or, if such Limited Partner holds
fewer than 1,000 Units, all of the Units held by such Limited Partner and (ii)
each Limited Partner may not exercise the Redemption Right more than two times
annually. The number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Redemption
Rights will be adjusted upon the occurrence of share splits, mergers,
consolidations or similar pro rata share transactions, which otherwise would
have the effect of diluting or increasing the ownership interests of the
limited partners or the shareholders of the Company.

OPERATIONS

The Partnership Agreement requires that the Partnership be operated in a
manner that will enable the Company to satisfy the requirements for being
classified as a REIT, to avoid any federal income or excise tax liability
imposed by the Code (other than any federal income tax liability associated
with the Company's retained capital gains), and to ensure that the Partnership
will not be classified as a "publicly traded partnership" for purposes of
Section 7704 of the Code.

In addition to the administrative and operating costs and expenses incurred
by the Partnership, the Partnership will pay all administrative costs and
expenses of the Company (the "Company Expenses") and the Company Expenses will
be treated as expenses of the Partnership. The Company Expenses generally will
include (i) all expenses relating to the formation and continuity of existence
of the Company, (ii) all expenses relating to the public offering and
registration of securities by the Company, (iii) all expenses associated with
the preparation and filing of any periodic reports by the Company under
federal, state or local laws or regulations, (iv) all expenses associated with
compliance by the Company with laws, rules and regulations promulgated by any
regulatory body and (v) all other operating or administrative costs of the
Company incurred in the ordinary course of its business on behalf of the
Partnership. The Company Expenses, however, will not include any
administrative and operating costs and expenses incurred by the Company that
are attributable to hotel properties that are owned by the Company directly.
The Company currently does not own any hotel directly.

DISTRIBUTIONS

The Partnership Agreement provides that the Partnership will distribute cash
from operations (including net sale or refinancing proceeds, but excluding net
proceeds from the sale of the Partnership's property in connection with the
liquidation of the Partnership) on a quarterly (or, at the election of the
Company, more frequent) basis,

91
<PAGE>

in amounts determined by the Company in its sole discretion, to the partners
in accordance with their respective percentage interests in the Partnership.
Upon liquidation of the Partnership, after payment of, or adequate provision
for, debts and obligations of the Partnership, including any partner loans,
any remaining assets of the Partnership will be distributed to all partners
with positive capital accounts in accordance with their respective positive
capital account balances. If the Company has a negative balance in its capital
account following a liquidation of the Partnership, it will be obligated to
contribute cash to the Partnership equal to the negative balance in its
capital account.

ALLOCATIONS

Income, gain and loss of the Partnership for each fiscal year generally will
be allocated among the partners in accordance with their respective interests
in the Partnership, subject to compliance with the provisions of Code Sections
704(b) and 704(c) and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

TERM

The Partnership will continue until December 31, 2050, or until sooner
dissolved upon (i) the bankruptcy, dissolution or withdrawal of the Company
(unless the limited partners elect to continue the Partnership), (ii) the sale
or other disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the Partnership
or (iii) an election by the General Partner.

TAX MATTERS

Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the Company will be the tax matters
partner of the Partnership and, as such, will have authority to handle tax
audits and to make tax elections under the Code on behalf of the Partnership.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a summary of material federal income tax considerations
that may be relevant to a prospective holder of Common Shares. Hunton &
Williams has acted as counsel to the Company and has reviewed this summary and
is of the opinion that the discussion contained herein fairly summarizes the
federal income tax considerations that are likely to be material to a holder
of the Common Shares. The discussion does not address all aspects of taxation
that may be relevant to particular shareholders in light of their personal
investment or tax circumstances, or to certain types of shareholders
(including insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations (except as discussed
below), financial institutions or broker-dealers, and, except as discussed
below, foreign corporations and persons who are not citizens or residents of
the United States) subject to special treatment under the federal income tax
laws.

The statements in this discussion and the opinion of Hunton & Williams are
based on current provisions of the Code, existing, temporary, and currently
proposed Treasury Regulations, the legislative history of the Code, existing
administrative rulings and practices of the Service, and judicial decisions.
No assurance can be given that future legislative, judicial, or administrative
actions or decisions, which may be retroactive in effect, will not affect the
accuracy of any statements in this Prospectus with respect to the transactions
entered into or contemplated prior to the effective date of such changes.

EACH PROSPECTIVE PURCHASER SHOULD CONSULT HIS OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE
SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES TO HIM OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP, AND SALE OF THE
COMMON SHARES AND OF THE COMPANY'S ELECTION TO BE TAXED AS A REIT, INCLUDING
THE FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN, AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OF SUCH
PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP, SALE, AND ELECTION, AND OF POTENTIAL CHANGES IN
APPLICABLE TAX LAWS.

TAXATION OF THE COMPANY

The Company currently has in effect an election to be taxed as a pass-
through entity under subchapter S of the Code, but intends to revoke its S
election on the day prior to the closing of the Offering. The Company plans to
make an election to be taxed as a REIT under sections 856 through 860 of the
Code, effective for its short taxable year beginning on the date of revocation
of its S election and ending on December 31, 1998. The Company believes that,
commencing with such taxable year, it will be organized and will operate in
such a manner as to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Code, and the
Company intends to continue to operate in such a manner, but no assurance can
be given that the Company will operate in a manner so as to qualify or remain
qualified as a REIT.

The sections of the Code relating to qualification and operation as a REIT
are highly technical and complex. The following discussion sets forth the
material aspects of the Code sections that govern the federal income tax
treatment of a REIT and its shareholders. The discussion is qualified in its
entirety by the applicable Code provisions, Treasury Regulations promulgated
thereunder, and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all of
which are subject to change prospectively or retrospectively.

Hunton & Williams has acted as counsel to the Company in connection with the
Offering and the Company's election to be taxed as a REIT. In the opinion of
Hunton & Williams, commencing with the Company's short taxable year beginning
on the day prior to the closing of the Offering and ending December 31, 1998,
and assuming that the elections and other procedural steps described in this
discussion of "Federal Income Tax Considerations" are completed by the Company
in a timely fashion, the Company will be organized in conformity with the
requirements for qualification as a REIT, and its proposed method of operation
will enable it to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a
REIT under the Code. Investors should be aware, however, that opinions of
counsel are not binding upon the Service or any court. It must be emphasized
that Hunton & Williams' opinion is based on various assumptions and is
conditioned upon certain representations made by the Company as to factual
matters, including representations regarding the nature of the Company's

93
<PAGE>

properties, the Percentage Leases, and the future conduct of the Company's
business. Such factual assumptions and representations are described below in
this discussion of "Federal Income Tax Considerations" and are set out in the
federal income tax opinion that will be delivered by Hunton & Williams at the
closing of the Offering. Moreover, such qualification and taxation as a REIT
depend upon the Company's ability to meet on a continuing basis, through
actual annual operating results, distribution levels, and share ownership, the
various qualification tests imposed under the Code discussed below. Hunton &
Williams will not review the Company's compliance with those tests on a
continuing basis. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the actual
results of the Company's operation for any particular taxable year will
satisfy such requirements. For a discussion of the tax consequences of failure
to qualify as a REIT, see "Federal Income Tax Considerations--Failure to
Qualify."

If the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it generally will not be
subject to federal corporate income tax on its net income that is distributed
currently to its shareholders. That treatment substantially eliminates the
"double taxation" (i.e., taxation at both the corporate and shareholder
levels) that generally results from an investment in a corporation. However,
the Company will be subject to federal income tax in the following
circumstances. First, the Company will be taxed at regular corporate rates on
any undistributed REIT taxable income, including undistributed net capital
gains. Second, under certain circumstances, the Company may be subject to the
"alternative minimum tax" on its undistributed items of tax preference. Third,
if the Company has (i) net income from the sale or other disposition of
"foreclosure property" that is held primarily for sale to customers in the
ordinary course of business or (ii) other non-qualifying income from
foreclosure property, it will be subject to tax at the highest corporate rate
on such income. Fourth, if the Company has net income from prohibited
transactions (which are, in general, certain sales or other dispositions of
property (other than foreclosure property) held primarily for sale to
customers in the ordinary course of business), such income will be subject to
a 100% tax. Fifth, if the Company should fail to satisfy the 75% gross income
test or the 95% gross income test (as discussed below), and has nonetheless
maintained its qualification as a REIT because certain other requirements have
been met, it will be subject to a 100% tax on the gross income attributable to
the greater of the amount by which the Company fails the 75% or 95% gross
income test, multiplied by a fraction intended to reflect the Company's
profitability. Sixth, if the Company should fail to distribute during each
calendar year at least the sum of (i) 85% of its REIT ordinary income for such
year, (ii) 95% of its REIT capital gain net income for such year, and (iii)
any undistributed taxable income from prior periods, the Company would be
subject to a 4% excise tax on the excess of such required distribution over
the amounts actually distributed. To the extent that the Company elects to
retain and pay income tax on its net long-term capital gain, such retained
amounts will be treated as having been distributed for purposes of the 4%
excise tax. Seventh, if the Company acquires any asset from a C corporation
(i.e., a corporation generally subject to full corporate-level tax) in a
transaction in which the basis of the asset in the Company's hands is
determined by reference to the basis of the asset (or any other asset) in the
hands of the C corporation and the Company recognizes gain on the disposition
of such asset during the 10-year period beginning on the date on which such
asset was acquired by the Company, then to the extent of such asset's "built-
in gain" (i.e., the excess of the fair market value of such asset at the time
of acquisition by the Company over the adjusted basis in such asset at such
time), such gain will be subject to tax at the highest regular corporate rate
applicable (as provided in Treasury Regulations that have not yet been
promulgated). The results described above with respect to the recognition of
"built-in gain" assume that the Company would make an election pursuant to IRS
Notice 88-19 if it were to make any such acquisition.

REQUIREMENTS FOR QUALIFICATION

The Code defines a REIT as a corporation, trust or association (i) that is
managed by one or more trustees or directors; (ii) the beneficial ownership of
which is evidenced by transferable shares, or by transferable certificates of
beneficial interest; (iii) that would be taxable as a domestic corporation,
but for sections 856 through 860 of the Code; (iv) that is neither a financial
institution nor an insurance company subject to certain provisions of the
Code; (v) the beneficial ownership of which is held by 100 or more persons;
(vi) not more than 50% in value of the outstanding stock of which is owned,
directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Code
to include certain entities) during the last half of each taxable year (the
"5/50 Rule"); (vii) that makes an election to be a REIT (or has made such
election for a previous taxable year) and satisfies all

94
<PAGE>

relevant filing and other administrative requirements established by the
Service that must be met in order to elect and to maintain REIT status; (viii)
that uses a calendar year for federal income tax purposes and complies with
the recordkeeping requirements of the Code and Treasury Regulations; and (ix)
that meets certain other tests, described below, regarding the nature of its
income and assets. The Code provides that conditions (i) to (iv), inclusive,
must be met during the entire taxable year and that condition (v) must be met
during at least 335 days of a taxable year of 12 months, or during a
proportionate part of a taxable year of less than 12 months. Conditions (v)
and (vi) will not apply until after the first taxable year for which an
election is made by the Company to be taxed as a REIT. The Company anticipates
issuing sufficient Common Shares with sufficient diversity of ownership
pursuant to the Offering to allow it to satisfy requirements (v) and (vi). In
addition, the Company's Declaration of Trust provides for restrictions
regarding ownership and transfer of the Common Shares that are intended to
assist the Company in continuing to satisfy the share ownership requirements
described in (v) and (vi) above. Such transfer restrictions are described in
"Description of Shares of Beneficial Interest--Restrictions on Ownership and
Transfer."

For purposes of determining share ownership under the 5/50 Rule, a
supplemental unemployment compensation benefits plan, a private foundation, or
a portion of a trust permanently set aside or used exclusively for charitable
purposes is considered an individual, although a trust that is a qualified
trust under Code section 401(a) is not considered an individual and the
beneficiaries of such trust are treated as holding shares of a REIT in
proportion to their actuarial interests in the trust for purposes of the 5/50
Rule.

The Company currently has one corporate subsidiary, HHT Ltd., and may have
additional corporate subsidiaries in the future. Code section 856(i) provides
that a corporation that is a "qualified REIT subsidiary" shall not be treated
as a separate corporation, and all assets, liabilities, and items of income,
deduction, and credit of a "qualified REIT subsidiary" shall be treated as
assets, liabilities, and items of income, deduction, and credit of the REIT. A
"qualified REIT subsidiary" is a corporation, all of the capital stock of
which is owned by the REIT. Thus, in applying the requirements described
herein, any "qualified REIT subsidiaries" acquired or formed by the Company
will be ignored, and all assets, liabilities, and items of income, deduction,
and credit of such subsidiaries will be treated as assets, liabilities and
items of income, deduction, and credit of the Company. HHT Ltd. is a
"qualified REIT subsidiary." Therefore, HHT Ltd. will not be subject to
federal corporate income taxation, although it may be subject to state and
local taxation.

In the case of a REIT that is a partner in a partnership, Treasury
Regulations provide that the REIT will be deemed to own its proportionate
share of the assets of the partnership and will be deemed to be entitled to
the gross income of the partnership attributable to such share. In addition,
the assets and gross income of the partnership will retain the same character
in the hands of the REIT for purposes of section 856 of the Code, including
satisfying the gross income and asset tests, described below. The Company's
proportionate share of the assets, liabilities and items of income of the
Partnership will be treated as assets and gross income of the Company for
purposes of applying the requirements described herein.

Income Tests

In order for the Company to maintain its qualification as a REIT, there are
two requirements relating to the Company's gross income that must be satisfied
annually. First, at least 75% of the Company's gross income (excluding gross
income from prohibited transactions) for each taxable year must consist of
defined types of income derived directly or indirectly from investments
relating to real property or mortgages on real property (including "rents from
real property" and, in certain circumstances, interest) or temporary
investment income. Second, at least 95% of the Company's gross income
(excluding gross income from prohibited transactions) for each taxable year
must be derived from such real property or temporary investments, and from
dividends, other types of interest, and gain from the sale or disposition of
stock or securities, or from any combination of the foregoing. The specific
application of these tests to the Company is discussed below.

Rents received by the Company will qualify as "rents from real property" in
satisfying the gross income requirements for a REIT described above only if
several conditions are met. First, the amount of rent must not

95
<PAGE>

be based in whole or in part on the income or profits of any person. However,
an amount received or accrued generally will not be excluded from the term
"rents from real property" solely by reason of being based on a fixed
percentage or percentages of receipts or sales. Second, the Code provides that
rents received from a tenant will not qualify as "rents from real property" in
satisfying the gross income tests if the Company, or an owner of 10% or more
of the Company, directly or constructively owns 10% or more of such tenant (a
"Related Party Tenant"). Third, if rent attributable to personal property,
leased in connection with a lease of real property, is greater than 15% of the
total rent received under the lease, then the portion of rent attributable to
such personal property will not qualify as "rents from real property."
Finally, for rents received to qualify as "rents from real property," the
Company generally must not operate or manage the property or furnish or render
services to the tenants of such property, other than through an "independent
contractor" who is adequately compensated and from whom the Company derives no
revenue. The "independent contractor" requirement, however, does not apply
with respect to certain de minimis services or to the extent the services
provided by the Company are "usually or customarily rendered" in connection
with the rental of space for occupancy only and are not otherwise considered
"rendered to the occupant."

Pursuant to the Percentage Leases, the Lessee will lease from the
Partnership the land, buildings, improvements, furnishings and equipment
comprising the Initial Hotels for a seven-year period. The Percentage Leases
provide that the Lessee will be obligated to pay to the Partnership (i) the
greater of Base Rent and Percentage Rent (collectively, the "Rents") and (ii)
certain other Additional Charges. The Percentage Rent is calculated by
multiplying fixed percentages by the gross room revenues for each of the
Initial Hotels. The Base Rent accrues and is required to be paid monthly and
the Percentage Rent accrues and is required to be paid quarterly.

In order for the Base Rent, the Percentage Rent, and the Additional Charges
to constitute "rents from real property," the Percentage Leases must be
respected as true leases for federal income tax purposes and not treated as
service contracts, joint ventures or some other type of arrangement. The
determination of whether the Percentage Leases are true leases depends on an
analysis of all the surrounding facts and circumstances. In making such a
determination, courts have considered a variety of factors, including the
following: (i) the intent of the parties, (ii) the form of the agreement,
(iii) the degree of control over the property that is retained by the property
owner (e.g., whether the lessee has substantial control over the operation of
the property or whether the lessee was required simply to use its best efforts
to perform its obligations under the agreement), and (iv) the extent to which
the property owner retains the risk of loss with respect to the property
(e.g., whether the lessee bears the risk of increases in operating expenses or
the risk of damage to the property).

In addition, Code section 7701(e) provides that a contract that purports to
be a service contract (or a partnership agreement) is treated instead as a
lease of property if the contract is properly treated as such, taking into
account all relevant factors, including whether or not: (i) the service
recipient is in physical possession of the property, (ii) the service
recipient controls the property, (iii) the service recipient has a significant
economic or possessory interest in the property (e.g., the property's use is
likely to be dedicated to the service recipient for a substantial portion of
the useful life of the property, the recipient shares the risk that the
property will decline in value, the recipient shares in any appreciation in
the value of the property, the recipient shares in savings in the property's
operating costs, or the recipient bears the risk of damage to or loss of the
property), (iv) the service provider does not bear any risk of substantially
diminished receipts or substantially increased expenditures if there is
nonperformance under the contract, (v) the service provider does not use the
property concurrently to provide significant services to entities unrelated to
the service recipient, and (vi) the total contract price does not
substantially exceed the rental value of the property for the contract period.
Since the determination whether a service contract should be treated as a
lease is inherently factual, the presence or absence of any single factor may
not be dispositive in every case.

The Company believes that the Percentage Leases will be treated as true
leases for federal income tax purposes. Such belief is based, in part, on the
following facts: (i) the Partnership and the Lessee intend for their
relationship to be that of a lessor and lessee and such relationship will be
documented by lease agreements, (ii) the Lessee will have the right to
exclusive possession and use and quiet enjoyment of the Initial Hotels during

96
<PAGE>

the term of the Percentage Leases, (iii) the Lessee will bear the cost of, and
be responsible for, day-to-day maintenance and repair of the Initial Hotels,
other than the cost of capital expenditures that are classified as capital
items under generally accepted accounting principles which are necessary for
the continued operation of the Initial Hotels and will dictate how the Initial
Hotels are operated, maintained, and improved, (iv) the Lessee will bear all
of the costs and expenses of operating the Initial Hotels (including the cost
of any inventory used in their operation) during the term of the Percentage
Leases (other than real and personal property taxes, casualty insurance, the
cost of capital improvements, and the cost of replacement or refurbishment of
FF&E, to the extent such costs do not exceed the allowance for such costs
provided by the Partnership under each Percentage Lease), (v) the Lessee will
benefit from any savings in the costs of operating the Initial Hotels during
the term of the Percentage Leases, (vi) in the event of damage or destruction
to an Initial Hotel, the Lessee will be at economic risk because it will be
obligated either (a) to restore the property to its prior condition, in which
event it will bear all costs of such restoration in excess of any insurance
proceeds or (b) to purchase the Initial Hotel for an amount generally equal to
the fair market value of the property, less any insurance proceeds, (vii) the
Lessee will indemnify the Partnership, as applicable, against all liabilities
imposed on the Partnership during the term of the Percentage Leases by reason
of (a) injury to persons or damage to property occurring at the Initial Hotels
or (b) the Lessee's use, management, maintenance or repair of the Initial
Hotels, and (viii) the Lessee is obligated to pay substantial fixed rent for
the period of use of the Initial Hotels, and (ix) the Lessee stands to incur
substantial losses (or reap substantial gains) depending on how successfully
it operates the Initial Hotels.

Investors should be aware that there are no controlling Treasury
Regulations, published rulings, or judicial decisions involving leases with
terms substantially the same as the Percentage Leases that discuss whether
such leases constitute true leases for federal income tax purposes. If the
Percentage Leases are recharacterized as service contracts or partnership
agreements, rather than true leases, part or all of the payments that the
Partnership receives from the Lessee may not be considered rent or may not
otherwise satisfy the various requirements for qualification as "rents from
real property." In that case, the Company likely would not be able to satisfy
either the 75% or 95% gross income test and, as a result, would lose its REIT
status.

In order for the Rents to constitute "rents from real property," several
other requirements also must be satisfied. One requirement is that the Rents
attributable to personal property leased in connection with the lease of the
real property comprising an Initial Hotel must not be greater than 15% of the
Rents received under the Percentage Lease. The Rents attributable to the
personal property in an Initial Hotel is the amount that bears the same ratio
to total rent for the taxable year as the average of the adjusted bases of the
personal property associated with the Initial Hotel at the beginning and at
the end of the taxable year bears to the average of the aggregate adjusted
bases of both the real and personal property comprising the Initial Hotel at
the beginning and at the end of such taxable year (the "Adjusted Basis
Ratio"). Because the Partnership will acquire the Initial Hotels for cash, the
initial adjusted basis of the real and personal property in each such hotel
will be equal to the purchase price therefor. Such basis generally will be
allocated among the real and personal property in the hotel based on their
relative fair market values. With respect to any hotel that the Partnership
acquires in the future in exchange for Units, the initial adjusted basis of
the real and personal property in such hotel will be equal to the seller's
adjusted basis in the real and personal property comprising such Hotel at the
time of the acquisition by the Partnership. The Partnership will not acquire
additional personal property for an Initial Hotel to the extent that such
acquisition would cause the Adjusted Basis Ratio for that hotel to exceed 15%.
There can be no assurance, however, that the Service would not assert that the
adjusted basis of the personal property acquired by the Partnership exceeded
the adjusted basis claimed by the Partnership, or that a court would not
uphold such assertion. If such a challenge were successfully asserted, the
Company could fail the Adjusted Basis Ratio as to one or more of the Initial
Hotels, which in turn potentially could cause it to fail to satisfy the 95% or
75% gross income test and thus lose its REIT status.

Another requirement for qualification of the Rents as "rents from real
property" is that the Percentage Rent must not be based in whole or in part on
the income or profits of any person. The Percentage Rent, however, will
qualify as "rents from real property" if it is based on percentages of
receipts or sales and the percentages (i) are fixed at the time the Percentage
Leases are entered into, (ii) are not renegotiated during the term of the

97
<PAGE>

Percentage Leases in a manner that has the effect of basing Percentage Rent on
income or profits, and (iii) conform with normal business practice. More
generally, the Percentage Rent will not qualify as "rents from real property"
if, considering the Percentage Leases and all the surrounding circumstances,
the arrangement does not conform with normal business practice, but is in
reality used as a means of basing the Percentage Rent on income or profits.
Since the Percentage Rent is based on fixed percentages of the gross revenues
from the Initial Hotels that are established in the Percentage Leases, and the
Company has represented that the percentages (i) will not be renegotiated
during the terms of the Percentage Leases in a manner that has the effect of
basing the Percentage Rent on income or profits and (ii) conform with normal
business practice, the Percentage Rent should not be considered based in whole
or in part on the income or profits of any person. Furthermore, the Company
has represented that, with respect to other hotels that it acquires in the
future, it will not charge rent for any property that is based in whole or in
part on the income or profits of any person (except by reason of being based
on a fixed percentage of gross revenues, as described above).

A third requirement for qualification of the Rents as "rents from real
property" is that the Company must not own, actually or constructively, 10% or
more of the ownership interests in the Lessee. The constructive ownership
rules generally provide that, if 10% or more in value of the shares of the
Company is owned, directly or indirectly, by or for any person, the Company is
considered as owning the shares owned, directly or indirectly, by or for such
person. The Company initially will not own, actually or constructively, any
interest in the Lessee or the Strategic Partner, which owns 100% of the stock
of the Lessee. Although the Strategic Partner will own Units, which are
redeemable for Common Shares, the redemption price for such Units will be paid
in cash in the event the issuance of Common Shares to the Strategic Partner
would cause the Company to own 10% or more of the Lessee. In addition, the
Declaration of Trust prohibits a shareholder of the Company from owning Common
or Preferred Shares that would cause the Company to own, actually or
constructively, 10% or more of the ownership interests in a tenant of the
Company's real property, within the meaning of section 856(d)(2)(B) of the
Code. Thus, the Company should never own, actually or constructively, 10% of
more of the Lessee. Furthermore, the Company has represented that, with
respect to other hotels that it acquires in the future, it will not rent any
property to a Related Party Tenant.

A fourth requirement for qualification of the Rents as "rents from real
property" is that the Company cannot furnish or render noncustomary services
to the tenants of the Initial Hotels, or manage or operate the Initial Hotels,
other than through an independent contractor who is adequately compensated and
from whom the Company itself does not derive or receive any income. However,
the Company may furnish or render a de minimis amount of "noncustomary
services" to the tenants of an Initial Hotel other than through an independent
contractor as long as the amount that the Company receives that is
attributable to such services does not exceed 1% of its total receipts for the
Initial Hotel. For that purpose, the amount attributable to the Company's
noncustomary services will be at least equal to 150% of the Company's cost of
providing the services. Provided that the Percentage Leases are respected as
true leases, the Company should satisfy that requirement because the
Partnership will not perform any services other than customary ones for the
Lessee. Furthermore, the Company has represented that, with respect to other
hotels that it acquires in the future, it will not perform noncustomary
services with respect to the tenant of the property. As described above,
however, if the Percentage Leases are recharacterized as service contracts or
partnership agreements, the Rents likely would be disqualified as "rents from
real property" because the Company would be considered to furnish or render
services to the occupants of the Initial Hotels and to manage or operate the
Initial Hotels other than through an independent contractor who is adequately
compensated and from whom the Company derives or receives no income.

If the Rents do not qualify as "rents from real property" because the rents
attributable to personal property exceed 15% of the total Rents from an
Initial Hotel for a taxable year, the portion of the Rents that is
attributable to personal property will not be qualifying income for purposes
of either the 75% or 95% gross income test. Thus, if the Rents attributable to
personal property, plus any other non-qualifying income, during the taxable
year exceed 5% of the Company's gross income during the year, the Company
would lose its REIT status. If, however, the Rents do not qualify as "rents
from real property" because either (i) the Percentage Rent is considered based
on income or profits of the Lessee, (ii) the Company owns, actually or
constructively, 10% or more of the Lessee, or (iii) the Company furnishes
noncustomary services (other than certain de minimis

98
<PAGE>

services) to the tenants of the Initial Hotels, or manages or operates the
Initial Hotels, other than through a qualifying independent contractor, none
of the Rents would qualify as "rents from real property." In that case, the
Company likely would lose its REIT status because it would be unable to
satisfy either the 75% or 95% gross income test.

In addition to the Rents, the Lessee is required to pay to the Partnership
the Additional Charges. To the extent that the Additional Charges represent
either (i) reimbursements of amounts that the Lessee is obligated to pay to
third parties or (ii) penalties for nonpayment or late payment of such
amounts, the Additional Charges should qualify as "rents from real property."
To the extent, however, that the Additional Charges represent interest that is
accrued on the late payment of the Rents or the Additional Charges, the
Additional Charges should not qualify as "rents from real property," but
instead should be treated as interest that qualifies for the 95% gross income
test.

The term "interest" generally does not include any amount received or
accrued (directly or indirectly) if the determination of such amount depends
in whole or in part on the income or profits of any person. However, an amount
received or accrued generally will not be excluded from the term "interest"
solely by reason of being based on a fixed percentage or percentages of
receipts or sales.

The net income derived from any prohibited transaction is subject to a 100%
tax. The term "prohibited transaction" generally includes a sale or other
disposition of property (other than foreclosure property) that is held
primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business.
All inventory required in the operation of the Initial Hotels will be
purchased by the Lessee or its designee as required by the terms of the
Percentage Leases. Accordingly, the Company believes that no asset owned by
the Company or the Partnership will be held for sale to customers and that a
sale of any such asset will not be in the ordinary course of business of the
Company or the Partnership. Whether property is held "primarily for sale to
customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business" depends, however, on
the facts and circumstances in effect from time to time, including those
related to a particular property. Nevertheless, the Company and the
Partnership will attempt to comply with the terms of safe-harbor provisions in
the Code prescribing when asset sales will not be characterized as prohibited
transactions. Complete assurance cannot be given, however, that the Company or
the Partnership can comply with the safe-harbor provisions of the Code or
avoid owning property that may be characterized as property held "primarily
for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business."

The Company will be subject to tax at the maximum corporate rate on any
income from foreclosure property (other than income that would be qualified
income under the 75% gross income test), less expenses directly connected with
the production of such income. However, gross income from such foreclosure
property will be qualifying income for purposes of the 75% and 95% gross
income tests. "Foreclosure property" is defined as any real property
(including interests in real property) and any personal property incident to
such real property (i) that is acquired by a REIT as the result of such REIT
having bid in such property at foreclosure, or having otherwise reduced such
property to ownership or possession by agreement or process of law, after
there was a default (or default was imminent) on a lease of such property or
on an indebtedness that such property secured and (ii) for which such REIT
makes a proper election to treat such property as foreclosure property. As a
result of the rules with respect to foreclosure property, if the Lessee
defaults on its obligations under a Percentage Lease for an Initial Hotel, the
Company terminates the Lessee's leasehold interest, and the Company is unable
to find a replacement lessee for such Hotel within 90 days of such
foreclosure, gross income from hotel operations conducted by the Company from
such Hotel would cease to qualify for the 75% and 95% gross income tests. In
such event, the Company likely would be unable to satisfy the 75% and 95%
gross income tests and, thus, would fail to qualify as a REIT.

It is possible that, from time to time, the Company or the Partnership will
enter into hedging transactions with respect to one or more of its assets or
liabilities. Any such hedging transactions could take a variety of forms,
including interest rate swap contracts, interest rate cap or floor contracts,
futures or forward contracts, and options. To the extent that the Company or
the Partnership enters into an interest rate swap or cap contract, option,
futures contract, forward rate agreement or similar financial instrument to
reduce its interest rate risk with respect to indebtedness incurred to be
incurred to acquire or carry real estate assets, any periodic income or gain
from the disposition of such contract should be qualifying income for purposes
of the 95% gross income test,

99
<PAGE>

but not the 75% gross income test. To the extent that the Company or the
Partnership hedges with other types of financial instruments or in other
situations, it may not be entirely clear how the income from those
transactions will be treated for purposes of the various income tests that
apply to REITs under the Code. The Company intends to structure any hedging
transactions in a manner that does not jeopardize its status as a REIT.

If the Company fails to satisfy one or both of the 75% and 95% gross income
tests for any taxable year, it may nevertheless qualify as a REIT for such
year if it is entitled to relief under certain provisions of the Code. Those
relief provisions will be generally available if the Company's failure to meet
such tests is due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect, the
Company attaches a schedule of the sources of its income to its return, and
any incorrect information on the schedule was not due to fraud with intent to
evade tax. It is not possible, however, to state whether in all circumstances
the Company would be entitled to the benefit of those relief provisions. As
discussed above in "Federal Income Tax Considerations--Taxation of the
Company," even if those relief provisions apply, a 100% tax would be imposed
with respect to the gross income attributable to the greater of the amount by
which the Company fails the 75% or 95% gross income test, multiplied by a
fraction intended to reflect the Company's profitability.

Asset Tests

The Company, at the close of each quarter of its taxable year, also must
satisfy two tests relating to the nature of its assets. First, at least 75% of
the value of the Company's total assets must be represented by cash or cash
items (including certain receivables), government securities, "real estate
assets," or, in cases where the Company raises new capital through share or
long-term (at least five-year) debt offerings, temporary investments in stock
or debt instruments during the one-year period following the Company's receipt
of such capital. The term "real estate assets" includes interests in real
property, interests in mortgages on real property to the extent the principal
balance of the mortgage does not exceed the value of the associated real
property, and shares of other REITs. For purposes of the 75% asset test, the
term "interest in real property" includes an interest in land and improvements
thereon, such as buildings or other inherently permanent structures (including
items that are structural components of such buildings or structures), a
leasehold in real property, and an option to acquire real property (or a
leasehold in real property). Second, of the investments not included in the
75% asset class, the value of any one issuer's securities owned by the Company
may not exceed 5% of the value of the Company's total assets and the Company
may not own more than 10% of any one issuer's outstanding voting securities
(except for its ownership interest in the Partnership, HHT Ltd., or any other
qualified REIT subsidiary).

For purposes of the asset tests, the Company will be deemed to own its
proportionate share of the assets of the Partnership, rather than its
partnership interest in the Partnership. The Company has represented that, as
of the date of the Offering, (i) at least 75% of the value of its total assets
will be represented by real estate assets, cash and cash items (including
receivables), and government securities and (ii) it will not own any
securities that do not satisfy the 75% asset test. In addition, the Company
has represented that it will not acquire or dispose, or cause the Partnership
to acquire or dispose, of assets in the future in a way that would cause it to
violate either asset test.

If the Company should fail to satisfy the asset tests at the end of a
calendar quarter, such a failure would not cause it to lose its REIT status if
(i) it satisfied all of the asset tests at the close of the preceding calendar
quarter and (ii) the discrepancy between the value of the Company's assets and
the asset test requirements arose from changes in the market values of its
assets and was not wholly or partly caused by an acquisition of non-qualifying
assets. If the condition described in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence
were not satisfied, the Company still could avoid disqualification by
eliminating any discrepancy within 30 days after the close of the quarter in
which it arose.

Distribution Requirements

The Company, in order to qualify as a REIT, is required to distribute
dividends (other than capital gain dividends) to its shareholders in an amount
at least equal to (i) the sum of (A) 95% of its "REIT taxable income"

100
<PAGE>

(computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and its net capital
gain) and (B) 95% of the net income (after tax), if any, from foreclosure
property, minus (ii) the sum of certain items of noncash income. Such
distributions must be paid in the taxable year to which they relate, or in the
following taxable year if declared before the Company timely files its tax
return for such year and if paid on or before the first regular dividend
payment after such declaration. To the extent that the Company does not
distribute all of its net capital gain or distributes at least 95%, but less
than 100%, of its "REIT taxable income," as adjusted, it will be subject to
tax thereon at regular ordinary and capital gains corporate tax rates.
Furthermore, if the Company should fail to distribute during each calendar
year at least the sum of (i) 85% of its REIT ordinary income for such year,
(ii) 95% of its REIT capital gain income for such year, and (iii) any
undistributed taxable income from prior periods, the Company would be subject
to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the excess of such required distribution
over the amounts actually distributed. The Company intends to make timely
distributions sufficient to satisfy all annual distribution requirements. The
Company may elect to retain and pay income tax on its net long-term capital
gains, as described in "--Taxation of Taxable U.S. Shareholders." Any such
retained amount would be treated as having been distributed by the Company for
purposes of the 4% excise tax described above.

It is possible that, from time to time, the Company may experience timing
differences between (i) the actual receipt of income and actual payment of
deductible expenses and (ii) the inclusion of that income and deduction of
such expenses in arriving at its REIT taxable income. For example, it is
possible that, from time to time, the Company may be allocated a share of net
capital gain attributable to the sale of depreciated property that exceeds its
allocable share of cash attributable to that sale. Therefore, the Company may
have less cash available for distribution to shareholders than is necessary to
meet its annual 95% distribution requirement or to avoid corporate income tax
or the excise tax imposed on certain undistributed income. In such a
situation, the Company may find it necessary to arrange for short-term (or
possibly long-term) borrowings or to raise funds through the issuance of
additional common or preferred shares.

Under certain circumstances, the Company may be able to rectify a failure to
meet the distribution requirement for a year by paying "deficiency dividends"
to its shareholders in a later year, which may be included in the Company's
deduction for dividends paid for the earlier year. Although the Company may be
able to avoid being taxed on amounts distributed as deficiency dividends, it
will be required to pay to the Service interest based upon the amount of any
deduction taken for deficiency dividends.

Recordkeeping Requirement

Pursuant to applicable Treasury Regulations, the Company must maintain
certain records and request on an annual basis certain information from its
shareholders designed to disclose the actual ownership of its outstanding
shares. The Company intends to comply with such requirements.

Partnership Anti-Abuse Rule

The United States Treasury Department has issued a final regulation (the
"Anti-Abuse Rule"), under the partnership provisions of the Code (the
"Partnership Provisions") that authorizes the Service, in certain "abusive"
transactions involving partnerships, to disregard the form of the transaction
and recast it for federal tax purposes as the Service deems appropriate. The
Anti-Abuse Rule applies where a partnership is formed or utilized in
connection with a transaction (or series of related transactions) with a
principal purpose of substantially reducing the present value of the partners'
aggregate federal tax liability in a manner inconsistent with the intent of
the Partnership Provisions. The Anti-Abuse Rule states that the Partnership
Provisions are intended to permit taxpayers to conduct joint business
(including investment) activities through a flexible economic arrangement that
accurately reflects the partners' economic agreement and clearly reflects the
partners' income without incurring any entity-level tax. The purposes for
structuring a transaction involving a partnership are determined based on all
of the facts and circumstances, including a comparison of the purported
business purpose for a transaction and the claimed tax benefits resulting from
the transaction. A reduction in the present value of the partners' aggregate
federal tax liability through the use of a partnership does not, by itself,
establish inconsistency with the intent of the Partnership Provisions.

101
<PAGE>

The Anti-Abuse Rule contains an example in which a corporation that elects
to be treated as a REIT contributes substantially all of the proceeds from a
public offering to a partnership in exchange for a general partnership
interest. The limited partners of the partnership contribute real property
assets to the partnership, subject to liabilities that exceed their respective
aggregate bases in such property. In addition, some of the limited partners
have the right, beginning two years after the formation of the partnership, to
require the redemption of their limited partnership interests in exchange for
cash or REIT stock (at the REIT's option) equal to the fair market value of
their respective interests in the partnership at the time of the redemption.
The example concludes that the use of the partnership is not inconsistent with
the intent of the Partnership Provisions and, thus, cannot be recast by the
Service. The Company believes that the Anti-Abuse Rule will not have any
adverse impact on its ability to qualify as a REIT. However, the Redemption
Rights do not conform in all respects to the redemption rights described in
the foregoing example. Moreover, the Anti-Abuse Rule is extraordinarily broad
in scope and is applied based on an analysis of all of the facts and
circumstances. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Service will
not attempt to apply the Anti-Abuse Rule to the Company. If the conditions of
the Anti-Abuse Rule are met, the Service is authorized to take appropriate
enforcement action, including disregarding the Partnership for federal tax
purposes or treating one or more of its partners as nonpartners. Any such
action potentially could jeopardize the Company's status as a REIT.

FAILURE TO QUALIFY

If the Company fails to qualify for taxation as a REIT in any taxable year,
and the relief provisions do not apply, the Company will be subject to tax
(including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at
regular corporate rates. Distributions to the shareholders in any year in
which the Company fails to qualify will not be deductible by the Company nor
will they be required to be made. In such event, to the extent of current and
accumulated earnings and profits, all distributions to shareholders will be
taxable as ordinary income and, subject to certain limitations of the Code,
corporate distributees may be eligible for the dividends received deduction.
Unless entitled to relief under specific statutory provisions, the Company
also will be disqualified from taxation as a REIT for the four taxable years
following the year during which the Company ceased to qualify as a REIT. It is
not possible to state whether in all circumstances the Company would be
entitled to such statutory relief.

TAXATION OF TAXABLE U.S. SHAREHOLDERS

As long as the Company qualifies as a REIT, distributions made to the
Company's taxable U.S. shareholders out of current or accumulated earnings and
profits (and not designated as capital gain dividends or retained capital
gains) will be taken into account by such U.S. shareholders as ordinary income
and will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction generally
available to corporations. As used herein, the term "U.S. shareholder" means a
holder of Common Shares that for U.S. federal income tax purposes is (i) a
citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation, partnership, or
other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or
of any political subdivision thereof, (iii) an estate whose income from
sources without the United States is includible in gross income for U.S.
federal income tax purposes regardless of its connection with the conduct of a
trade or business within the United States or (iv) any trust with respect to
which (A) a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over the
administration of such trust and (B) one or more U.S. persons have the
authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust. Distributions
that are designated as capital gain dividends will be taxed as long-term
capital gains (to the extent they do not exceed the Company's actual net
capital gain for the taxable year) without regard to the period for which the
shareholder has held his Common Shares. However, corporate shareholders may be
required to treat up to 20% of certain capital gain dividends as ordinary
income. The Company may elect to retain and pay income tax on its net long-
term capital gains. In that case, the Company's shareholders would include in
income their proportionate share of the Company's undistributed long-term
capital gains. In addition, the shareholders would be deemed to have paid
their proportionate share of the tax paid by the Company, which would be
credited or refunded to the shareholders. Each shareholder's basis in his
shares would be increased by the amount of the undistributed long-term capital
gain included in the shareholder's income, less the shareholder's share of the
tax paid by the Company.

102
<PAGE>

Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will
not be taxable to a shareholder to the extent that they do not exceed the
adjusted basis of the shareholder's Common Shares, but rather will reduce the
adjusted basis of such shares. To the extent that distributions in excess of
current and accumulated earnings and profits exceed the adjusted basis of a
shareholder's Common Shares, such distributions will be included in income as
long-term capital gain (or short-term capital gain if the Common Shares have
been held for one year or less) assuming the Common Shares are capital assets
in the hands of the shareholder. In addition, any distribution declared by the
Company in October, November, or December of any year and payable to a
shareholder of record on a specified date in any such month shall be treated
as both paid by the Company and received by the shareholder on December 31 of
such year, provided that the distribution is actually paid by the Company
during January of the following calendar year.

Shareholders may not include in their individual income tax returns any net
operating losses or capital losses of the Company. Instead, such losses would
be carried over by the Company for potential offset against its future income
(subject to certain limitations). Taxable distributions from the Company and
gain from the disposition of the Common Shares will not be treated as passive
activity income and, therefore, shareholders generally will not be able to
apply any "passive activity losses" (such as losses from certain types of
limited partnerships in which the shareholder is a limited partner) against
such income. In addition, taxable distributions from the Company and gain from
the disposition of Common Shares generally will be treated as investment
income for purposes of the investment interest limitations. The Company will
notify shareholders after the close of the Company's taxable year as to the
portions of the distributions attributable to that year that constitute
ordinary income, return of capital, and capital gain.

TAXATION OF SHAREHOLDERS ON THE DISPOSITION OF THE COMMON SHARES

In general, any gain or loss realized upon a taxable disposition of the
Common Shares by a shareholder who is not a dealer in securities will be
treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the Common Shares have been held
for more than one year and otherwise as short-term capital gain or loss.
However, any loss upon a sale or exchange of Common Shares by a shareholder
who has held such shares for six months or less (after applying certain
holding period rules), will be treated as a long-term capital loss to the
extent of distributions from the Company required to be treated by such
shareholder as long-term capital gain. All or a portion of any loss realized
upon a taxable disposition of the Common Shares may be disallowed if other
Common Shares are purchased within 30 days before or after the disposition.

CAPITAL GAINS AND LOSSES

A capital asset generally must be held for more than one year in order for
gain or loss derived from its sale or exchange to be treated as long-term
capital gain or loss. The maximum tax rate on net capital gains applicable to
noncorporate taxpayers is 28% for sales and exchanges of assets held for more
than one year but not more than 18 months, and 20% for sales and exchanges of
assets held for more than 18 months. The maximum tax rate on long-term capital
gain from the sale or exchange of "section 1250 property" (i.e., depreciable
real property) is 25% to the extent that such gain would have been treated as
ordinary income if the property were "section 1245 property." With respect to
distributions designated by the Company as capital gain dividends and any
retained capital gains that the Company is deemed to distribute, the Company
may designate (subject to certain limits) whether such a dividend or
distribution is taxable to its noncorporate stockholders at a 20%, 25% or 28%
rate. Thus, the tax rate differential between capital gain and ordinary income
for noncorporate taxpayers may be significant. In addition, the
characterization of income as capital or ordinary may affect the deductibility
of capital losses. Capital losses not offset by capital gains may be deducted
against a noncorporate taxpayer's ordinary income only up to a maximum annual
amount of $3,000. Unused capital losses may be carried forward. All net
capital gain of a corporate taxpayer is subject to tax at ordinary corporate
rates. A corporate taxpayer can deduct capital losses only to the extent of
capital gains, with unused losses being carried back three years and forward
five years.

INFORMATION REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AND BACKUP WITHHOLDING

The Company will report to its U.S. shareholders and the Service the amount
of distributions paid during each calendar year, and the amount of tax
withheld, if any. Under the backup withholding rules, a shareholder may be
subject to backup withholding at the rate of 31% with respect to distributions
paid unless such holder (i) is a corporation or comes within certain other
exempt categories and, when required, demonstrates this fact or (ii) provides
a taxpayer identification number, certifies as to no loss of exemption from
backup withholding, and otherwise complies with the applicable requirements of
the backup withholding rules. A shareholder who does not provide the Company
with his correct taxpayer identification number also may be subject to
penalties imposed by the Service. Any amount paid as backup withholding will
be creditable against the shareholder's income tax liability. In addition, the
Company may be required to withhold a portion of capital gain distributions to
any shareholders who fail to certify their nonforeign status to the Company.
The Service has issued final regulations regarding the backup withholding
rules as applied to non-U.S. Shareholders. Those regulations alter the current
system of backup withholding compliance and will be effective for
distributions made after December 31, 1999. See "Federal Income Tax
Considerations--Taxation of Non-U.S. Shareholders."

TAXATION OF TAX-EXEMPT SHAREHOLDERS

Tax-exempt entities, including qualified employee pension and profit sharing
trusts and individual retirement accounts ("Exempt Organizations"), generally
are exempt from federal income taxation. However, they are subject to taxation
on their unrelated business taxable income ("UBTI"). While many investments in
real estate generate UBTI, the Service has issued a published ruling that
dividend distributions by a REIT to an exempt employee pension trust do not
constitute UBTI, provided that the shares of the REIT are not otherwise used
in an unrelated trade or business of the exempt employee pension trust. Based
on that ruling, amounts distributed by the Company to Exempt Organizations
generally should not constitute UBTI. However, if an Exempt Organization
finances its acquisition of the Common Shares with debt, a portion of its
income from the Company will constitute UBTI pursuant to the "debt-financed
property" rules. Furthermore, social clubs, voluntary employee benefit
associations, supplemental unemployment benefit trusts, and qualified group
legal services plans that are exempt from taxation under paragraphs (7), (9),
(17), and (20), respectively, of Code section 501(c) are subject to different
UBTI rules, which generally will require them to characterize distributions
from the Company as UBTI. In addition, in certain circumstances, a pension
trust that owns more than 10% of the Company's shares is required to treat a
percentage of the dividends from the Company as UBTI (the "UBTI Percentage").
The UBTI Percentage is the gross income derived from an unrelated trade or
business (determined as if the Company were a pension trust) divided by the
gross income of the Company for the year in which the dividends are paid. The
UBTI rule applies to a pension trust holding more than 10% of the Company's
shares only if (i) the UBTI Percentage is at least 5%, (ii) the Company
qualifies as a REIT by reason of the modification of the 5/50 Rule that allows
the beneficiaries of a pension trust to be treated as holding shares of the
Company in proportion to their actuarial interests in the pension trust, and
(iii) either (A) one pension trust owns more than 25% of the value of the
Company's shares or (B) a group of pension trusts individually holding more
than 10% of the value of the Company's shares collectively owns more than 50%
of the value of the Company's shares.

TAXATION OF NON-U.S. SHAREHOLDERS

The rules governing U.S. federal income taxation of nonresident alien
individuals, foreign corporations, foreign partnerships, and other foreign
shareholders (collectively, "Non-U.S. Shareholders") are complex and no
attempt will be made herein to provide more than a summary of such rules.
PROSPECTIVE NON-U.S. SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS
TO DETERMINE THE IMPACT OF FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL INCOME TAX LAWS WITH
REGARD TO AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMMON SHARES, INCLUDING ANY REPORTING
REQUIREMENTS.

Distributions to Non-U.S. Shareholders that are not attributable to gain
from sales or exchanges by the Company of U.S. real property interests and are
not designated by the Company as capital gains dividends or retained capital
gains will be treated as dividends of ordinary income to the extent that they
are made out of

104
<PAGE>

current or accumulated earnings and profits of the Company. Such distributions
ordinarily will be subject to a withholding tax equal to 30% of the gross
amount of the distribution unless an applicable tax treaty reduces or
eliminates that tax. However, if income from the investment in the Common
Shares is treated as effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Shareholder's
conduct of a U.S. trade or business, the Non-U.S. Shareholder generally will
be subject to federal income tax at graduated rates, in the same manner as
U.S. Shareholders are taxed with respect to such distributions (and also may
be subject to the 30% branch profits tax in the case of a Non-U.S. Shareholder
that is a foreign corporation). The Company expects to withhold U.S. income
tax at the rate of 30% on the gross amount of any such distributions made to a
Non-U.S. Shareholder unless (i) a lower treaty rate applies and any required
form evidencing eligibility for that reduced rate is filed with the Company or
(ii) the Non-U.S. Shareholder files an IRS Form 4224 with the Company claiming
that the distribution is effectively connected income. The Service has issued
final regulations that modify the manner in which the Company complies with
the withholding requirements. Those regulations are effective for
distributions made after December 31, 1999. Distributions in excess of current
and accumulated earnings and profits of the Company will not be taxable to a
shareholder to the extent that such distributions do not exceed the adjusted
basis of the shareholder's Common Shares, but rather will reduce the adjusted
basis of such shares. To the extent that distributions in excess of current
and accumulated earnings and profits exceed the adjusted basis of a Non-U.S.
Shareholder's Common Shares, such distributions will give rise to tax
liability if the Non-U.S. Shareholder would otherwise be subject to tax on any
gain from the sale or disposition of his Common Shares, as described below.
Because it generally cannot be determined at the time a distribution is made
whether or not such distribution will be in excess of current and accumulated
earnings and profits, the entire amount of any distribution normally will be
subject to withholding at the same rate as a dividend. However, amounts so
withheld are refundable to the extent it is determined subsequently that such
distribution was, in fact, in excess of current and accumulated earnings and
profits of the Company.

The Company is required to withhold 10% of any distribution in excess of the
Company's current and accumulated earnings and profits. Consequently, although
the Company intends to withhold at a rate of 30% on the entire amount of any
distribution, to the extent that the Company does not do so, any portion of a
distribution not subject to withholding at a rate of 30% will be subject to
withholding at a rate of 10%.

For any year in which the Company qualifies as a REIT, distributions that
are attributable to gain from sales or exchanges by the Company of U.S. real
property interests will be taxed to a Non-U.S. Shareholder under the
provisions of the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980
("FIRPTA"). Under FIRPTA, distributions attributable to gain from sales of
U.S. real property interests are taxed to a Non-U.S. Shareholder as if such
gain were effectively connected with a U.S. business. Non-U.S. Shareholders
thus would be taxed at the normal capital gain rates applicable to U.S.
shareholders (subject to applicable alternative minimum tax and a special
alternative minimum tax in the case of nonresident alien individuals).
Distributions subject to FIRPTA also may be subject to a 30% branch profits
tax in the hands of a foreign corporate shareholder not entitled to treaty
relief or exemption. The Company is required to withhold 35% of any
distribution that could be designated by the Company as a capital gains
dividend. The amount withheld is creditable against the Non-U.S. Shareholder's
FIRPTA tax liability.

Gain recognized by a Non-U.S. Shareholder upon a sale of his Common Shares
generally will not be taxed under FIRPTA if the Company is a "domestically
controlled REIT," defined generally as a REIT in which at all times during a
specified testing period less than 50% in value of the stock was held directly
or indirectly by foreign persons. However, because the Common Shares will be
publicly traded, no assurance can be given that the Company will be a
"domestically controlled REIT." Furthermore, gain not subject to FIRPTA will
be taxable to a Non-U.S. Shareholder if (i) investment in the Common Shares is
effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Shareholder's U.S. trade or business,
in which case the Non-U.S. Shareholder will be subject to the same treatment
as U.S. shareholders with respect to such gain, or (ii) the Non-U.S.
Shareholder is a nonresident alien individual who was present in the United
States for 183 days or more during the taxable year and certain other
conditions apply, in which case the nonresident alien individual will be
subject to a 30% tax on the individual's capital gains. However, a Non-U.S.
Shareholder that owned, actually or constructively, 5% or less of the

105
<PAGE>

Common Shares at all times during a specified testing period will not be
subject to tax under FIRPTA if the Common Shares are "regularly traded" on an
established securities market. If the gain on the sale of the Common Shares
were to be subject to taxation under FIRPTA, the Non-U.S. Shareholder would be
subject to the same treatment as U.S. shareholders with respect to such gain
(subject to applicable alternative minimum tax, a special alternative minimum
tax in the case of nonresident alien individuals, and the possible application
of the 30% branch profits tax in the case of foreign corporations).

OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES

The Company, HHT Ltd., the Partnership, or the Company's shareholders may be
subject to state or local taxation in various state or local jurisdictions,
including those in which it or they own property, transact business, or
reside. The state and local tax treatment of the Company and its shareholders
may not conform to the federal income tax consequences discussed above.
CONSEQUENTLY, PROSPECTIVE SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS
REGARDING THE EFFECT OF STATE AND LOCAL TAX LAWS ON AN INVESTMENT IN THE
COMPANY.

TAX ASPECTS OF THE PARTNERSHIP

The following discussion summarizes certain federal income tax
considerations applicable to the Company's direct or indirect investment in
the Partnership. The discussion does not cover state or local tax laws or any
federal tax laws other than income tax laws.

Classification as a Partnership

The Company will be entitled to include in its income its distributive share
of the Partnership's income and to deduct its distributive share of the
Partnership's losses only if the Partnership is classified for federal income
tax purposes as a partnership rather than as an association taxable as a
corporation. An entity will be classified as a partnership rather than as a
corporation for federal income tax purposes if the entity (i) is treated as a
partnership under Treasury regulations relating to entity classification (the
"Check-the-Box Regulations") and (ii) is not a "publicly traded" partnership.

In general, under the Check-the-Box Regulations, an unincorporated entity
with at least two members may elect to be classified either as an association
taxable as a corporation or as a partnership. If such an entity fails to make
an election, it generally will be treated as a partnership for federal income
tax purposes. The Partnership intends to be classified as a partnership and
the Company has represented that the Partnership will not elect to be treated
as an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes
under the Check-the-Box Regulations.

A publicly traded partnership is a partnership whose interests are traded on
an established securities market or are readily tradable on a secondary market
(or the substantial equivalent thereof). A publicly traded partnership will be
treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes unless at least 90%
of such partnership's gross income for a taxable year consists of "qualifying
income" under section 7704(d) of the Code, which generally includes any income
that is qualifying income for purposes of the 95% gross income test applicable
to REITs (the "90% Passive-Type Income Exception"). See "--Requirements for
Qualification--Income Tests." The U.S. Treasury Department has issued
regulations (the "PTP Regulations") that provide limited safe harbors from the
definition of a publicly traded partnership. Pursuant to one of those safe
harbors (the "Private Placement Exclusion"), interests in a partnership will
not be treated as readily tradable on a secondary market or the substantial
equivalent thereof if (i) all interests in the partnership were issued in a
transaction (or transactions) that was not required to be registered under the
Securities Act, and (ii) the partnership does not have more than 100 partners
at any time during the partnership's taxable year. In determining the number
of partners in a partnership, a person owning an interest in a flow-through
entity (i.e., a partnership, grantor trust or S corporation) that owns an
interest in the partnership is treated as a partner in such partnership only
if (a) substantially all of the value of the owner's interest in the flow-
through entity is attributable to the flow-through entity's interest (direct
or indirect) in the partnership and (b) a principal purpose of the use of the
flow-through

106
<PAGE>

entity is to permit the partnership to satisfy the 100-partner limitation. The
Partnership qualifies for the Private Placement Exclusion. If the Partnership
is considered a publicly traded partnership under the PTP Regulations because
it is deemed to have more than 100 partners, the Partnership should not be
treated as a corporation because it should be eligible for the 90% Passive-
Type Income Exception.

The Partnership has not requested, and does not intend to request, a ruling
from the Service that it will be classified as a partnership for federal
income tax purposes. Instead, at the closing of the Offering, Hunton &
Williams will deliver its opinion that the Partnership will be treated for
federal income tax purposes as a partnership and not as an association taxable
as a corporation. Unlike a tax ruling, an opinion of counsel is not binding
upon the Service, and no assurance can be given that the Service will not
challenge the status of the Partnership as a partnership for federal income
tax purposes. If such challenge were sustained by a court, the Partnership
would be treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, as
described below. The opinion of Hunton & Williams will be based on existing
law, which is to a great extent the result of administrative and judicial
interpretation. No assurance can be given that administrative or judicial
changes would not modify the conclusions expressed in the opinion.

If for any reason the Partnership was taxable as a corporation, rather than
as a partnership, for federal income tax purposes, the Company would not be
able to qualify as a REIT. See "Federal Income Tax Considerations--
Requirements for Qualification--Income Tests" and "--Requirements for
Qualification--Asset Tests." In addition, any change in the Partnership's
status for tax purposes might be treated as a taxable event, in which case the
Company might incur a tax liability without any related cash distribution. See
"Federal Income Tax Considerations--Requirements for Qualification--
Distribution Requirements." Further, items of income and deduction of the
Partnership would not pass through to its partners, and its partners would be
treated as shareholders for tax purposes. Consequently, the Partnership would
be required to pay income tax at corporate tax rates on its net income, and
distributions to its partners would constitute dividends that would not be
deductible in computing the Partnership's taxable income.

INCOME TAXATION OF THE PARTNERSHIP AND ITS PARTNERS

Partners, Not the Partnership, Subject to Tax. A partnership is not a
taxable entity for federal income tax purposes. Rather, the Company will be
required to take into account its allocable share of the Partnership's income,
gains, losses, deductions, and credits for any taxable year of the Partnership
ending within or with the taxable year of the Company, without regard to
whether the Company has received or will receive any distribution from the
Partnership.

Partnership Allocations. Although a partnership agreement generally will
determine the allocation of income and losses among partners, such allocations
will be disregarded for tax purposes under section 704(b) of the Code if they
do not comply with the provisions of section 704(b) of the Code and the
Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. If an allocation is not
recognized for federal income tax purposes, the item subject to the allocation
will be reallocated in accordance with the partners' interests in the
partnership, which will be determined by taking into account all of the facts
and circumstances relating to the economic arrangement of the partners with
respect to such item. The Partnership's allocations of taxable income, gain
and loss are intended to comply with the requirements of section 704(b) of the
Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

Tax Allocations With Respect to Contributed Properties. Pursuant to section
704(c) of the Code, income, gain, loss, and deduction attributable to
appreciated or depreciated property that is contributed to a partnership in
exchange for an interest in the partnership must be allocated for federal
income tax purposes in a manner such that the contributor is charged with, or
benefits from, the unrealized gain or unrealized loss associated with the
property at the time of the contribution. The amount of such unrealized gain
or unrealized loss is generally equal to the difference between the fair
market value of the contributed property at the time of contribution and the
adjusted tax basis of such property at the time of contribution. The Treasury
Department has issued regulations

107
<PAGE>

requiring partnerships to use a "reasonable method" for allocating items
affected by section 704(c) of the Code and outlining several reasonable
allocation methods. The Partnership generally will elect to use the
traditional method for allocating Code section 704(c) items with respect to
the hotels it acquires in exchange for Units.

Basis in Partnership Interest. The Company's adjusted tax basis in its
partnership interest in the Partnership generally will be equal to (i) the
amount of cash and the basis of any other property contributed to the
Partnership by the Company, (ii) increased by (A) its allocable share of the
Partnership's income and (B) its allocable share of indebtedness of the
Partnership, and (iii) reduced, but not below zero, by (A) the Company's
allocable share of the Partnership's loss and (B) the amount of cash
distributed to the Company, including constructive cash distributions
resulting from a reduction in the Company's share of indebtedness of the
Partnership.

If the allocation of the Company's distributive share of the Partnership's
loss would reduce the adjusted tax basis of the Company's partnership interest
in the Partnership below zero, the recognition of such loss will be deferred
until such time as the recognition of such loss would not reduce the Company's
adjusted tax basis below zero. To the extent that the Partnership's
distributions, or any decrease in the Company's share of the indebtedness of
the Partnership (such decrease being considered a constructive cash
distribution to the partners), would reduce the Company's adjusted tax basis
below zero, such distributions (including such constructive distributions)
will constitute taxable income to the Company. Such distributions and
constructive distributions normally will be characterized as capital gain,
and, if the Company's partnership interest in the Partnership has been held
for longer than the long-term capital gain holding period (currently one
year), the distributions and constructive distributions will constitute long-
term capital gain.

Depreciation Deductions Available to the Partnership. Immediately after the
Offering, the Company will make a cash contribution to the Partnership in
exchange for a partnership interest in the Partnership. The Partnership's
initial basis in the Initial Hotels for federal income tax purposes generally
will be equal to the purchase price paid by the Partnership. The Partnership
plans to depreciate such depreciable hotel property for federal income tax
purposes under MACRS. Under MACRS, the Partnership generally will depreciate
such furnishings and equipment over a seven-year recovery period using a 200%
declining balance method and a half-year convention. If, however, the
Partnership places more than 40% of its furnishings and equipment in service
during the last three months of a taxable year, a mid-quarter depreciation
convention must be used for the furnishings and equipment placed in service
during that year. Under MACRS, the Partnership generally will depreciate
buildings and improvements over a 39-year recovery period using a straight
line method and a mid-month convention. To the extent that the Partnership
acquires in the future properties in exchange for Units, the Partnership's
initial basis in each property for federal income tax purposes should be the
same as the transferor's basis in that property on the date of acquisition.
Although the law is not entirely clear, the Partnership intends to depreciate
such depreciable hotel property for federal income tax purposes over the same
remaining useful lives and under the same methods used by the transferors. The
Partnership's tax depreciation deductions will be allocated among the partners
in accordance with their respective interests in the Partnership (except to
the extent that the Partnership is required under Code section 704(c) to use a
method for allocating depreciation deductions attributable to the Initial
Hotels or other contributed properties that results in the Company receiving a
disproportionately large share of such deductions).

SALE OF THE COMPANY'S OR THE PARTNERSHIP'S PROPERTY

Generally, any gain realized by the Company or the Partnership on the sale
of property held for more than one year will be long-term capital gain, except
for any portion of such gain that is treated as depreciation or cost recovery
recapture. Any gain recognized by the Partnership on the disposition of the

UNDERWRITING

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement, the
Company has agreed to sell to each of the Underwriters named below, and each
of such Underwriters, for whom Morgan Keegan & Company, Inc. is acting as
Representative, has severally agreed to purchase from the Company, the
respective number of Common Shares set forth opposite its name below.

<TABLE>

NUMBER OF SHARES OF
UNDERWRITER COMMON STOCK
----------- -------------------
<S> <C>
Morgan Keegan & Company, Inc. ........................
----------
Total............................................. 12,800,000
==========
</TABLE>

Under the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement, the
Underwriters are committed to take and pay for all of the Common Shares
offered hereby, if any are taken.

The Underwriters propose to offer the Common Shares in part directly to the
public at the Offering Price set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus,
and in part to certain securities dealers at such price less a concession of
$ per share. The Underwriters may allow, and such dealers may allow, a
concession not in excess of $ per share to certain brokers and dealers.
After the Common Shares are released for sale to the public, the Offering
Price and other selling terms may from time to time be varied by the
Representative.

The Company has granted the Underwriters an option exercisable for 30 days
after the date of this Prospectus to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,920,000
Common Shares, solely to cover over-allotments, if any. If the Underwriters
exercise their overallotment option, the Underwriters have severally agreed,
subject to certain conditions, to purchase approximately the same percentage
thereof that the number of Common Shares to be purchased by each of them, as
shown in the table above, bears to the 12,800,000 Common Shares.

The Company and its officers and trustees have agreed, during the period
beginning from the date of this Prospectus and continuing to and including the
date 180 days after the date of the Prospectus, not to offer, sell, contract
to sell or otherwise dispose of any securities of the Company (other than,
with respect to the Company, pursuant to employee stock option plans existing,
or on the conversion or exchange of convertible or exchangeable securities
outstanding, on the date of this Prospectus) which are substantially similar
to the Common Shares or which are convertible or exchangeable into securities
which are substantially similar to the Common Shares without the prior consent
of the Representative.

110
<PAGE>

The Representative has informed the Company that the Underwriters do not
expect sales to accounts over which the Underwriters exercise discretionary
authority to exceed five percent of the total number of Common Shares offered
by them.

Prior to this Offering, there has been no public market for the Common
Shares. The Offering Price of the Common Shares will be negotiated between the
Company and the Representative. Among the factors to be considered in
determining the Offering Price of the Common Shares, in addition to prevailing
market conditions, will be dividend yields and certain financial
characteristics of publicly traded REITs that the Company and the
Representative believe to be comparable to the Company, the expected
operations of the Company, the current state of the hotel industry and an
assessment of the Company's management.

To facilitate the Offering of the Common Shares, the Underwriters may engage
in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price
of the Common Shares. Specifically, the Underwriters may over-allot Common
Shares in connection with the Offering, thereby creating a short position in
the Underwriters' syndicate account. Additionally, to cover such over-
allotments or to stabilize the market price of the Common Shares, the
Underwriters may bid for, and purchase, Common Shares in the open market. Any
of these activities may maintain the market price of the Common Shares at a
level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. The
Underwriters are not required to engage in these activities, and, if
commenced, any such activities may be discontinued at any time. The
Representative, on behalf of the syndicate of Underwriters, also may reclaim
selling concessions allowed to an Underwriter or dealer, if the syndicate
repurchases shares distributed by that Underwriter or dealer.

The Company has agreed to indemnify the several Underwriters against certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

The Company has been advised by the Representative that it presently intends
to make a market in the Common Shares offered hereby; however, the
Representative is not obligated to do so, and any market making activity may
be discontinued at any time. There can be no assurance that an active public
market for the Common Shares will develop and continue after the Offering.

The Company has agreed to pay the Representative, in its individual
capacity, a financial advisory fee equal to 0.5% of gross proceeds of the
Offering. Such fee will be payable upon consummation of the closing of the
Offering.

John W. Stokes, Jr., who will be a Trustee of the Company upon completion of
the Formation Transactions, is the Vice Chairman of the Representative and is
a director of Morgan Keegan, Inc., a NYSE listed company and the parent
company of the Representative.

(1) The pro forma financial statements do not include a material non-recurring

the Strategic Partner in connection with the Pre-Offering Debt. The

Leases to the historical room revenue of the Initial Hotels for the period

franchise fees and amortization of stock compensation expense.
Depreciation is computed based upon estimated useful lives of 39.5 and 7
years for buildings and improvements and furniture and equipment,
respectively. Franchise fees are amortized over 10 years. Stock
compensation is amortized over the five year vesting period. These
estimated useful lives are based on management's knowledge of the

of 7.5% for each period presented.
(7) Pro forma earnings per Common Share is computed by dividing net income
applicable to the holders of Common Shares by the pro forma weighted
average number of Common Shares outstanding. The exchange of Units for
Common Shares will have no effect on diluted pro forma earnings per Common
Share as Unit holders and Shareholders effectively share equally in the
net income of the Partnership.

OTHER INITIAL HOTELS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 1997

1. ORGANIZATION, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PROPOSED INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

Hudson Hotels Trust (the "Company") is a recently organized Maryland real
estate investment trust which has been established to acquire equity interests
in existing hotel properties and to own approximately a 99.5% interest in
Hudson Hotels Limited Partnership, L.P. (the "Partnership"). Upon consummation
of the proposed initial public offering ("Offering") a portion of the proceeds
will be used to acquire three hotel properties (a Holiday Inn, a Comfort
Suites and a Hampton Inn) from unrelated parties (the "Other Initial Hotels").

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying combined financial statements of the Other Initial Hotels
have been presented on a combined basis due to common ownership and
management. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated.

Proposed Initial Public Offering

The Company expects to file its registration statement with the Securities
and Exchange Commission pursuant to which the Company expects to offer
12,800,000 shares of its common stock to the public. The Company expects to
qualify as a real estate investment trust under sections 856-860 of the
Internal Revenue Code. Upon consummation of the offering, the Company will
contribute all of the net proceeds of the Offering to the Partnership in
exchange for approximately a 99.5% interest in the Partnership. The
Partnership will use such funds to acquire hotel properties, including the
Other Initial Hotels, fund renovations.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash Equivalents

All highly liquid investments with an original maturity date of three months
or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents.

Inventories

Inventories, consisting predominately of room linens, food and beverage are
stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.

Investments in Hotel Properties

The hotel properties are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the
straight-line and accelerated methods based upon the following estimated
useful lives:

<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Building and improvements....................................... 39.5 Years
Furniture and equipment......................................... 3 to 7 Years
</TABLE>

Properties are written down to net realizable value when management believes
that the unamortized cost cannot be recovered through operations.

Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred; major
renewals and betterments are capitalized. Upon the sale or disposition of a
fixed asset, the asset and related accumulation of depreciation are removed
from the accounts, and the gain or loss is included in operations.

Other Assets

Other assets primarily consist of franchise fees and deferred loan costs.
Amortization is computed using the straight-line method based upon the terms
of the franchise and loan agreements which range from 5 years to 10 years.

F-15
<PAGE>

OTHER INITIAL HOTELS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

Income Taxes

The Other Initial Hotels are S Corporations and are thus not subject to
federal or state income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal and state
income taxes has been made in these financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized as earned. Ongoing credit evaluations are performed
and an allowance for potential credit losses is provided against the portion
of accounts receivable which is estimated to be uncollectible.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3. MORTGAGES PAYABLE

Mortgages payable consists of the following at December 31:

<TABLE>

4. COMMITMENTS

One of the hotels is located on land owned by a related party. The related
lease requires annual payments of $100,000, or 4%, of gross revenues,
whichever is greater, and expires in 2014 with two 10 year renewal options.
Rents paid amounted to $200,000, $103,563 and $110,619 for 1995, 1996, and
1997, respectively. The year ended 1995 included a catch up payment for the
period prior to the hotels opening in 1995.

The hotels are required to remit monthly royalty fees of 4% of gross room
revenues, plus additional fees for marketing assessments and reservation fees
to its franchisors based on franchise agreements which extend from ten to
twenty years. These agreements contain restrictions on the transferability of
the franchise subject to approval by the franchisor. Total payments were
approximately $346,871, $419,455 and $673,778 for 1995, 1996 and 1997,

MFI PARTNERS, LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1996, AND 1997

1. THE PARTNERSHIP:

MFI Partners, Limited Partnership (the "Partnership"), a Delaware limited
partnership, was formed to acquire, own and operate 26 Fairfield Inn by
Marriott properties (the "Inns") located throughout the United States, and the
land on which 23 of the Inns are situated. The Partnership entered into ground
leases relative to the land underlying three of the Inns (the "Ground
Leases"). The Partnership was formed on August 4, 1994, and operations
commenced on August 5, 1994 (the "Closing Date"). On the Closing Date, the
Partnership executed a purchase agreement with Host Marriott Corporation, HMH
Properties Inc., and New Orleans Marriott Hotel Ventures L.P. to acquire the
Inns and land for approximately $119,000,000. The total purchase price was
paid from proceeds of a first mortgage note payable of $75,000,000 (the "First
Mortgage," Note 3), a subordinated mortgage note payable of $26,500,000
retained by one of the sellers (the "Subordinate Mortgage," Note 3), and the
initial capitalization of the Partnership, by $25,536,000. The remaining
proceeds above the purchase price were used to pay for transaction costs and
as initial operating capital. The Partnership is owned by three separate
partnerships. Distributions are made based on the relative ownership
percentages of the partners and upon cash flow priority guideline included in
the First Mortgage agreement and the Subordinate Mortgage agreement. The
guideline provides that net operating cash flow, as defined, after base
management fees, franchise fees, property taxes, insurance, and ground lease
payments be allocated in the following order:

(1) Monthly interest and principal on the First Mortgage

(2) Mandatory additional principal payment of the First Mortgage, as
required

(3) Quarterly interest on the Subordinated Mortgage

(4) Payment of deferred and accrued management fees (see Note 6)

(5) Available for distribution to equity holders

Equity holders received cash distributions of approximately $4,297,000,
$4,241,000 and $2,613,000 during 1995, 1996 and 1997 respectively.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Basis of Accounting

The Partnership's records are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting,
and its fiscal year coincides with the calendar year.

Real Estate

Real estate is recorded at cost and reported at the lower of its carrying
amount or fair value in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 121. A write down to fair value results when an impairment of
the asset has occurred and management believes that its carrying amount cannot
be recovered through future operations. No assets were written down in 1995,
1996 and 1997. Allocations of the purchase price of the real estate were based
on relative market values at the date of purchase. Repairs and maintenance are
charged to operations as incurred; major renewals and betterments are
capitalized. Upon the sale or disposition of a fixed asset, the asset and
related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and the gain
or loss is included in operations. Depreciation is computed using the
following methods over the useful lives of the assets:

Building and Improvements Straight-Line Method over 39 years
Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment Double-Declining Balance Method over
5 years

All property and equipment is pledged as security for the debt described in
Note 3.

F-24
<PAGE>

MFI PARTNERS, LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

Deferred Charges, Net

Deferred charges, net, consist of organization costs, initial franchise
costs and financing costs and are presented net of any accumulated
amortization. Organization costs incurred in the formation of the partnership
are being amortized using the straight-line method over 60 months.
Amortization of the franchise costs incurred in obtaining the franchise
agreements is computed using the straight-line method with a useful life of
approximately 20 years, the term of the franchise agreement. Amortization of
financing costs incurred in obtaining the long-term debt or related financial
instruments is computed using the effective interest method over the terms of
the loan agreements. This amortization is included in the interest expense in
the accompanying statements of operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

All highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or
less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents, except the
contractually restricted property improvement fund and tax and insurance
reserve fund.

Cash--Restricted

Restricted cash consists of funds established for property improvements and
the payment of taxes and insurance, as required under the various agreements
into which the Partnership has entered.

Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable

Revenue is recognized as earned and all receivable deemed uncollectible are
written off. The Partnership accounts for credit card revenues as receivables
until paid in cash.

Income Taxes

Provisions for Federal or state income taxes have not been made in the
accompanying financial statements since the Partnership does not pay income
taxes, but rather, allocates profits and losses to the individual partners.
Significant differences may exist between the net loss for financial reporting
purposes and the net loss as reported in the Partnership's tax return.

Use of Estimates

3. MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

On August 5, 1994, the Partnership borrowed $75,000,000 pursuant to the
terms of a seven-year nonrecourse mortgage loan agreement (the "First
Mortgage") with Credit Lyonnais to partially finance the purchase of the Inns.
The debt is split into two tranches. The first tranche is secured by two Inns
located in California, and the second tranche is secured by the remaining
properties. All debt terms relate to both tranches. The mortgage currently
requires monthly principal and interest payments. The mortgage bears interest
at the Prime Rate plus 1.5 percent or LIBOR plus 2.5 percent, at the
discretion of the borrower. For the purpose of interest payments, the
outstanding principal amount may be split into a maximum of three different
portions, each at a different interest rate with maturities ranging from 30 to
180 days. Principal payments are made to

MFI PARTNERS, LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

amortize the outstanding balance over 20 years at an interest rate of 9.25
percent per annum, with the full unpaid balance due on August 5, 2001. An
additional annual principal payment of $1,400,000, payable in quarterly
installments, is required based on the operating results of the Partnership
not meeting minimum cash flow threshold requirements, as defined in the First
Mortgage, of $14,250,000 and $15,000,000 effective August 5, 1996 and August
5, 1997, respectively. However, the Partnership has received a proposal from
Credit Lyonnais to reduce the minimum cash flow threshold requirement to
$13,500,000, effective August 5, 1997, in exchange for an amendment fee of
approximately $70,000 and an additional, one-time, contribution of $1,400,000
to the Property Improvement Fund. The Partnership plans to fund this payment
out of existing available cash. Among other restrictions, distributions and
other uses of cash are determined based on a cash flow priority schedule
contained in the First Mortgage agreement. The loan also includes a clause
which permits the lender to call the loan if there is a material adverse
change in the business. The partnership paid approximately $1,293,000,
$1,540,000 and $1,689,000 in principal and approximately $6,384,000,
$6,304,000 and $6,162,000 in interest relating to the First Mortgage during
1995, 1996, and 1997, respectively. The outstanding loan balance at
December 31, 1996 and 1997 is $71,615,000 and $69,926,000 respectively. During
1995, 1996 and 1997 the interest rates in effect varied from 7.94 percent to
8.69 percent, 7.81 percent to 8.47 percent and 7.88 percent to 8.47 percent
respectively, and the weighted average interest rate was approximately 8.6
percent, 8.1 percent and 8.2 percent respectively.

In conjunction with the First Mortgage, the Partnership purchased an
interest rate cap (the "Cap") from The Bank of Tokyo, the hedge against a rise
in interest rates, and sold an interest rate floor (the "Floor") to Credit
Lyonnais, the lender of the First Mortgage, to offset the cost of the Cap. The
Cap and Floor are agreements whereby the Partnership has paid or received a
one-time "Premium" payment to or from another party in exchange for the right
to receive or pay interest payments based on a particular notional amount and
the difference between the agreed-upon Cap or Floor rate and the specified
index. The notional amount of the Cap is $52,500,000 and amortizes under the
same terms as the First Mortgage. The Cap matures on August 5, 2001. The Cap
provides that the Partnership shall not bear the burden of interest cost in
excess of 10.5 percent. Should the variable rate exceed 10.5 percent, the
partnership would be reimbursed by The Bank of Tokyo for the incremental
interest costs above 10.5 percent. The Partnership is subject to credit risk
should the counterparty not perform under the Cap agreement. The total credit
risk to the Partnership is the replacement cost of the Cap at current market
interest rates. The Floor has the same notional amount as the Cap and has as
three-year term which expired on August 1, 1997. The floor amortized under the
same terms as the First Mortgage. The Floor rate increases throughout the life
of the floor from 4.5 percent to 6.5 percent. Should LIBOR drop below the
Floor rate, the Partnership has agreed to pay interest based upon the Floor
rate plus 2.5 percent. On August 5, 1995 and 1996, the Floor rate increased to
6.5 percent and 6 percent respectively. As a result of this increase in the
Floor rate and decreasing interest rates during 1995, 1996 and 1997, the
Partnership made payments of approximately $24,000, $344,000 and $305,000
respectively, to Credit Lyonnais. No receipts relating to the Cap have been
received in 1995, 1996 and 1997. The net cost of these financial instruments
was $1,749,000, which has been capitalized as deferred charges and is being
amortized as an adjustment to interest expense as described in Note 2. This
amortization amounted to approximately $546,000, $487,000 and $478,000 in
1995, 1996 and 1997 respectively.

On August 5, 1994, the Partnership also borrowed $26,500,000 pursuant to the
terms of the purchase price mortgage (the "Subordinate Mortgage") from one of
the sellers, Host Marriott Corporation, the partially finance the purchase of
the Inns. The Subordinate Mortgage is subordinate to the First Mortgage. The
Subordinate Mortgage is split into two tranches. The first tranche is secured
by two Inns located in California, and the second tranche is secured by the
remaining properties. All debt terms relate to both tranches. The mortgage
currently requires quarterly interest payments, and no principal payments are
required until maturity. The mortgage bears interest at LIBOR plus 4.5 percent
and is capped at incrementally increasing rates during the term of the loan.
Interest is paid quarterly based on an incrementally increasing pay rate. The
pay rate is lower than the capped rate and the predicted variable rate of the
Subordinate Mortgage. The difference between the amount accrued and the amount
paid is deferred until the maturity of the Subordinate Mortgage. The debt
matures on the later of

F-26

MFI PARTNERS, LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

one year from the date that the First Mortgage is paid in full or on August 4,
2001. In no event shall the maturity date be later than August 4, 2004. With
respect to the Subordinate Mortgage, the Partnership incurred interest expense
of approximately $2,470,000, $2,565,000 and $2,583,000 during 1995, 1996 and
1997 respectively, of which approximately $457,000 and $171,000 was deferred
during 1996 and 1997 respectively. Accrued interest of approximately $616,000
and $610,000 was outstanding at December 31, 1996 and 1997 respectively.
During 1995, 1996 and 1997 the Partnership paid interest of approximately
$1,205,000, $1,966,000 and $2,418,000 respectively, in connection with the
Subordinate Mortgage. The outstanding loan balance, including deferred
interest, was approximately $28,583,000 and $28,754,000 at December 31, 1996
and 1997 respectively. As of December 31, 1996 and 1997, the interest rate and
the pay rate were 9 percent.

Aggregate annual minimum principal payments for outstanding debt at December
31, 1997, are as follows:

5. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

According to the partnership agreement, the general partner of the
Partnership is to be reimbursed for certain costs incurred, as defined by the
partnership agreement. At December 31, 1996 and 1997 approximately $7,000 and
$46,000 respectively, are accrued and included in due to partners.

6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Management Agreement

The Inns are managed under a long-term management agreement (the "Management
Agreement") which expires on December 31, 2004, and contains two five-year
extension periods. The owners of the management company that operates the Inns
are affiliated with owners of the Partnership by virtue of common ownership.
The Management Agreement calls for base management fees of four percent of
gross revenues, one percent of which shall be deferred and paid based on
available cash flow, as defined in the First Mortgage Agreement. An additional
incentive management fee of 15 percent of operating profit, as defined by the
Management Agreement,

F-27

MFI PARTNERS, LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

may be earned if the properties exceed certain distribution levels. The
manager also earns accounting fees in the amount of $18,000 per property per
year and is reimbursed for certain out-of-pocket expenses, as defined by the
Management Agreement. During 1997, the Partnership amended the Management
Agreement to eliminate the 1% additional management fee and the accounting
fee.

During 1995, 1996 and 1997, the manager earned approximately $335,000,
$61,400 and $2,100, respectively, in incentive management fees, of which
$19,700 and $0, respectively, was accrued for at year-end 1996 and 1997. In

Franchise agreement

Franchise fees represent the expense for franchise royalties under the terms
of the franchise agreements with Fairfield FMC Corporation (the "Franchise
Agreement"), an affiliate of Marriott International. The Franchise Agreement
expires on December 31, 2014. As part of the Franchise Agreement, the
franchisor provides certain goods and services to the Partnership including
training, advertising, reservation services, certain operational systems and
tools, and certain trademarks and trade names. The initial cost of the
Franchise Agreement was approximately $524,000, which was capitalized and is
included in deferred charges on the accompanying balance sheets. The Franchise
Agreement requires a fee of four percent of gross room revenues for franchise
fees, a fee of 2.5 percent of gross rooms revenues for reimbursement of
franchisor marketing costs, and a reservation fee of one percent of gross room
revenue plus $2.15 per reservation placed through the franchisor's central
reservation system. The franchise fees and franchisor marketing fees are
included in franchise fees in the accompanying statements of operations, and
the reservation fees are included in cost of sales in the accompanying
statements of operation. During 1995, 1996 and 1997, the Partnership incurred
approximately $2,716,000, $2,831,000 and $2,914,000, respectively, in
franchise fees and approximately $435,000, $843,000 and $843,000,
respectively, in reservation fees. As of December 31, 1996 and 1997,
approximately $199,000 and $209,000, respectively, of franchise fees were
accrued.

Property Improvement Fund

The First Mortgage requires the Partnership to make contributions to a
property improvement fund in the amount of four percent of gross revenues.
These funds are to be used exclusively for property improvement projects, and
their release is at the discretion of the lender. Funds related to these
contributions are reflected as restricted cash on the accompanying balance
sheets. The fund was initially established with $241,000 received at closing.
During 1995, 1996 and 1997 the Partnership remitted approximately an
additional $1,648,000, $1,832,000 and $107,000, the latter which is net of
$121,000 released by the lender, respectively, to the fund. Of such additions,
approximately $872,000, $1,673,000 and $1,885,000 were refunded to the
Partnership for amounts spent on property improvement projects, during 1995,
1996 and 1997, respectively. As of December 31, 1996 and 1997, the Partnership
held approximately $1,922,000 and $170,000, respectively, in the fund.

Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund

pay for taxes and insurance. These funds are reflected as restricted cash on
the accompanying balance sheets. As of December 31, 1996 and 1997 the
Partnership held approximately $12,500 and $300, respectively, in the fund.
The fund was established with approximately $696,000 which was received from
the seller at closing. During 1995, 1996 and 1997 the Partnership escrowed
$2,447,000, $2,655,000 and $2,527,000, respectively of which approximately
$3,195,000, $2,858,000, and $2,567,000, respectively was refunded to the

at the discretion of the lessee to vary from 50 to 75 years. The payments
increase during the terms of the lease based upon fluctuating variable
economic indicators. The Partnership incurred ground rent of approximately
$324,000 in 1995, 1996 and 1997. The annual minimum ground lease payments in

Legal Matters

The Partnership has been named as a defendant in various legal actions
arising from the normal operation of its properties. The Partnership has
proper and sufficient liability insurance to cover such claims and is
vigorously defending all actions against it. Management of the Partnership,
after consultation with its legal counsel, firmly believes that disposition of
those claims will not result in any material liability.

7. ESTIMATED FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

The estimated fair values of financial instruments at December 31, 1997, are
summarized as follows:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
CARRYING FAIR
AMOUNT VALUE
------------ ------------
<S> <C> <C>
Interest Rate Cap................................ $ 1,018,000 $ 106,000
Long-Term Debt................................... (96,426,000) (96,426,000)
</TABLE>

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate fair value.

LONG-TERM DEBT--The carrying amount of long-term debt approximates fair
value as interest rates on these instruments are either variable or the
contractually fixed rate approximates the current interest rate being offered
on similar instruments.

INTEREST RATE CAP--The fair value of the Interest Rate Cap is based on
quoted market prices for similar instruments with similar terms or on a
discounted cash flow analysis.

ITEM 32. SALES TO SPECIAL PARTIES

None.

ITEM 33. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

On May 1, 1998, the Company was capitalized with the issuance to Alan S.
Lockwood of ten Common Shares for a purchase price of $100 per share for an
aggregate purchase price of $1,000. The Common Shares were purchased for
investment and for the purpose of organizing the Company. The Company issued
these Common Shares in reliance on an exemption from registration under
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. Mr. Lockwood's thousand Common Shares will
be redeemed concurrently with the Offering.

ITEM 34. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

The Maryland REIT Law permits a Maryland real estate investment trust to
include in its Declaration of Trust a provision limiting the liability of its
trustees and officers to the trust and its shareholders for money damages
except for liability resulting from (a) actual receipt of an improper benefit
or profit in money, property or services or (b) active and deliberate
dishonesty established by a final judgment as being material to the cause of
action. The Declaration of Trust of the Company contains such a provision
which eliminates such liability to the maximum extent permitted by the
Maryland REIT Law.

II-1
<PAGE>

who is made a party to the proceeding by reason of his service in that
capacity or (b) any individual who, while a Trustee of the Company and at the
request of the Company, serves or has served another real estate investment
trust, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan
or any other enterprise as a trustee, director, officer or partner of such
real estate investment trust, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust,
employee benefit plan or other enterprise and who is made a party to the
proceeding by reason of his service in that capacity. The Declaration of Trust
and Bylaws also permit the Company to indemnify and advance expenses to any
person who served a predecessor of the Company in any of the capacities
described above and to any employee or agent of the Company or a predecessor
of the Company. The Bylaws require the Company to indemnify a Trustee or
officer who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of
any proceeding to which he is made a party by reason of his service in that
capacity.

The Maryland REIT Law permits a Maryland real estate investment trust to
indemnify and advance expenses to its trustees, officers, employees and agents
to the same extent as permitted by the MGCL for directors and officers of
Maryland corporations. The MGCL permits a corporation to indemnity its present
and former directors and officers, among others, against judgments, penalties,
fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in
connection with any proceeding to which they may be made a party by reason of
their service in those or other capacities unless it is established that (a)
the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter
giving rise to the proceeding and (i) was committed in bad faith or (ii) was
the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (b) the director or officer
actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services
or (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had
reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. However, a
Maryland corporation may not indemnify for an adverse judgment in a suit by or
in the right of the corporation. In accordance with the MGCL, the Bylaws of
the Company require it, as a condition to advancing expenses, to obtain (a) a
written affirmation by the Trustee or officer of his good faith belief that he
has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Company
as authorized by the Bylaws and (b) a written statement by or on his behalf to
repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the Company if it shall ultimately be
determined that the standard of conduct was not met.

ITEM 37. UNDERTAKINGS

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the provisions referred to in Item 33 of this
Registration Statement, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in
the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question as to whether such indemnification by it
is against public policy as expressed in the act, and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters
at the closing specified in the Underwriting Agreement certificates in such
denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to
permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:

(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
