It likely does not contain all the information that is important to you. For a more complete understanding of the offering, we encourage you to read this entire document and the other documents to which we refer. Host Marriott, L.P. We are a Delaware limited partnership whose sole general partner is Host Marriott Corporation, a Maryland corporation that we refer to as "Host REIT". We, Host LP, were formed in connection with a series of transactions pursuant to which the former Host Marriott Corporation, a Delaware corporation that we refer to as "Host Marriott", and its subsidiaries converted their business operations to qualify as a real estate investment trust or "REIT." We refer to this conversion in this offering memorandum as the "REIT conversion." As a result of the REIT conversion, the hotel ownership business formerly conducted by Host Marriott and its subsidiaries is conducted by and through us and our subsidiaries, and Host Marriott was merged with and into Host REIT. Host REIT has elected, beginning January 1, 1999, to be treated as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. Our consolidated assets principally consist of 122 full service hotel properties, virtually all of which are leased to Crestline Capital Corporation, a publicly traded corporation and a former subsidiary of Host Marriott which was distributed to the Host Marriott shareholders as part of the REIT conversion. These properties are operated under some of the most respected and widely recognized brand names in the lodging industry, including Marriott, Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons, Hyatt, Hilton, and Swissotel. Marriott International, Inc. manages or franchises 109 of these properties as Marriott or Ritz Carlton branded hotels. We also have economic, non-voting interests in non-controlled subsidiaries, whose three full-service hotels are also managed by Marriott International. On November 13, we and Crestline announced the execution of a definitive agreement for the purchase and sale of the entities owning the leasehold interests with respect to 117 full-service hotel properties owned by us. Under the terms of the transaction, our wholly-owned subsidiary, which will elect to be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary, will purchase the Crestline subsidiaries, whose primary assets are the leasehold interests, for approximately $205 million, including recording a non-recurring loss of $120 million net of tax on the acquisition. Our principal executive offices are located at 10400 Fernwood Road, Bethesda, Maryland 20817-1109. Our telephone number is (301) 380-9000. 1 THE EXCHANGE OFFER Securities to be exchanged........ On October 6, 2000, we issued $250 million in aggregate principal amount of Series F senior notes in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. The terms of the Series G senior notes and the Series F senior notes are substantially identical in all material respects, except that the Series G senior notes will be freely transferable by the holders thereof except as otherwise provided in this prospectus. The exchange offer................ $1,000 principal amount of Series G senior notes in exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of Series F senior notes. As of the date of this prospectus, Series F senior notes representing $250 million in aggregate principal amount are outstanding. We believe that, subject to the limitations noted in this prospectus, Series G senior notes issued pursuant to the exchange offer in exchange for Series F senior notes may be offered for resale, resold or otherwise transferred by holders thereof without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. Our belief is based on interpretations by the Staff of the SEC, as set forth in no-action letters issued to certain third parties unrelated to us. The exemption from the Securities Act requirements only applies if Series G senior notes are acquired in the ordinary course of the holders' business and the holders have no arrangement with any person to engage in a distribution of such registered notes. Any holder who is our "affiliate" within the meaning of Securities Act Rule 405, or a broker- dealer who purchased Series F senior notes directly from us to resell pursuant to Securities Act Rule 144A or any other available exemption promulgated under the Securities Act, is not eligible for this exemption. However, the SEC has not considered our exchange offer in the context of a no- action letter. We cannot be sure that the Staff of the SEC would make a similar determination with respect to our exchange offer as in those other circumstances. Furthermore, unless you are a broker-dealer, you must acknowledge that you are not engaged in, and do not intend to engage in, a distribution of Series G senior notes and you have no arrangement or understanding to participate in a distribution of Series G senior 2 notes. If you are a broker-dealer that receives Series G senior notes for your own account pursuant to the exchange offer, you must acknowledge that you will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of Series G senior notes. Broker-dealers who acquired Series F senior notes directly from us and not as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities may not rely on the Staff's interpretations discussed above or participate in our exchange offer and must comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in order to resell the Series F senior notes. Registration Rights Agreement..... We sold the Series F senior notes on October 6, 2000 in a private placement in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The Series F senior notes were immediately resold by their initial purchasers in reliance on Securities Act Rule 144A. In connection with the sale, we entered into a registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers requiring us to make this exchange offer. Under the registration rights agreement, we are required to cause the registration statement of which the prospectus forms a part to become effective on or before the 160th day following the date on which we issued the Series F senior notes and we are obligated to consummate the exchange offer on or before the 190th day following the issuance of the Series F senior notes. Expiration date................... Our exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, [ ], 2000, or at a later date and time to which we may extend it. Withdrawal........................ You may withdraw a tender of Series F senior notes pursuant to our exchange offer at any time before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on [ ], 2000, or such later date and time to which we extend the offer. We will return any Series F senior notes that we do not accept for exchange for any reason as soon as practicable after the expiration or termination of our exchange offer. Interest on the Series G senior notes and Series F senior notes... Interest on the Series G senior notes will accrue from the date of the original issuance of the F senior notes or from the date of the last payment of interest on the Series F senior notes, whichever is later. We will not pay interest on Series F senior notes tendered and accepted for exchange. 3 Conditions to our exchange Our exchange offer is subject to offer............................. customary conditions which are discussed in the section of this prospectus entitled "The Exchange Offer." As described in that section, we have the right to waive some of the conditions. Procedures for tendering Series F We will accept for exchange any and all senior notes...................... Series F senior notes which are properly tendered (and not withdrawn) in the exchange offer prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on [ ], 2000. The Series G senior notes issued pursuant to our exchange offer will be delivered promptly following the expiration date. If you wish to accept our exchange offer, you must complete, sign and date the letter of transmittal, or a copy, in accordance with the instructions contained in this prospectus and therein, and mail or otherwise deliver the letter of transmittal, or the copy, together with the Series F senior notes and all other required documentation, to the exchange agent at the address set forth in this prospectus. If you are a person holding Series F senior notes through the Depository Trust Company, or "DTC", and wish to accept our exchange offer, you may do so pursuant to the DTC's Automated Tender Offer Program, or "ATOP", by which you will agree to be bound by the letter of transmittal. By executing or agreeing to be bound by the letter of transmittal, you will represent to us that, among other things: . the Series G senior notes that you acquire pursuant to the exchange offer are being obtained by you in the ordinary course of your business, whether or not you are the registered holder of the Series F senior notes; . you are not engaging in and do not intend to engage in a distribution of Series G senior notes; . you do not have an arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution of Series G senior notes; and . you are not our "affiliate," as defined under Securities Act Rule 405. Under the registration rights agreement we may be required to file a "shelf" registration statement for a continuous offering pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities act of 1933 in respect of the Series F senior notes, if: . we determine that we are not permitted to effect the exchange offer as contemplated by this 4 prospectus because of any change in law or Securities and Exchange Commission policy; or . we have commenced and not consummated the exchange offer with 190 days following the date on which we issued the Series F senior notes for any reason. Exchange agent.................... HSBC Bank USA is serving as exchange agent in connection with the exchange offer. Federal income tax We believe the exchange of Series F considerations.................... senior notes for Series G senior notes pursuant to our exchange offer will not constitute a sale or an exchange for federal income tax purposes. Effect of not tendering........... If you do not tender your Series F senior notes or if you do tender them but they are not accepted by us, your Series F senior notes will continue to be subject to the existing restrictions upon transfer. Except for our obligation to file a shelf registration statement under the circumstances described above, we will have no further obligation to provide for the registration under the Securities Act of Series F senior notes. Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges In the Selected Financial Data table on page 29, we present the ratio of earnings to fixed charges on a historical basis for the last five years and the first three quarters of 2000 and 1999. As Host Marriott is our predecessor, we consider the historical financial information of Host Marriott for periods prior to the REIT conversion to be our historical financial information. 5 THE SERIES G SENIOR NOTES In the summary below, we describe the principal terms of the Series G senior notes. The terms and conditions described below are subject to important limitations and exceptions. The "Description of Notes" section of this prospectus contains a more detailed description of the terms and conditions of the Series G senior notes. Total amount of notes offered...... $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 9 1/4% Series G senior notes due 2007. Maturity........................... October 1, 2007. Issue Price........................ 98.741% plus accrued interest from the date of issuance. Interest........................... 9 1/4% per annum, paid every six months on April 1 and October 1, commencing on April 1, 2001. Ranking............................ The Series G senior notes are equal in right of payment with all of our unsubordinated indebtedness and senior to all of our subordinated obligations, including any Series F senior notes that are not exchanged in the exchange offer. Optional redemption................ The Series G senior notes will be redeemable at our option at any time, in whole but not in part, for 100% of their principal amount, plus any make- whole premium and any accrued and unpaid interest. For more details, see the section "Description of Notes" under the heading "Optional Redemption." Mandatory offer to repurchase...... If we sell certain assets or undergo certain kinds of changes of control, we must offer to repurchase the Series G senior notes as described in the section "Description of Notes" under the heading "Covenants--Repurchase of Notes at the Option of the Holder upon a Change of Control Triggering Event." Basic covenants of the indenture... The indenture governing the Series G senior notes, among other things, restricts our ability and the ability of most of our subsidiaries to: . incur additional indebtedness; . pay dividends on, redeem or repurchase our equity interests; . make investments; . permit payment or dividend restrictions on certain of our subsidiaries; 6 . sell assets; . in the case of our restricted subsidiaries, guarantee indebtedness; . create certain liens; and . sell certain assets or merge with or into other companies. For more details, you should read the description in the section "Description of Notes" under the heading "Covenants." Use of proceeds.................... We will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the registered notes. 7 RISK FACTORS You should carefully consider the following risk factors, in addition to the other information contained in this prospectus memorandum, before deciding to tender Series F senior notes in the exchange offer. Series F senior notes outstanding after the exchange offer will not have registration rights. If you do not exchange your Series F senior notes for Series G senior notes pursuant to the exchange offer, your Series F senior notes will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer of the Series F notes. In general, you may not offer to sell Series F senior notes unless they are registered under the Securities Act, except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. If you are a broker-dealer that receives Series G senior notes for your account in exchange for Series F senior notes, where those Series F senior notes were acquired by you as a result of market- making activities or other trading activities, you must acknowledge that you will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of those Series G senior notes. We have substantial leverage. We have now, and after the exchange offer we will continue to have, a significant amount of indebtedness. The following chart shows certain important credit statistics and is presented assuming we completed the Series F offering as of September 8, 2000: ---
Pro Forma As of September 8, 2000 -------------- Total indebtedness (excluding convertible debt obligations)............................................... $5,365 million Convertible debt obligations due to Host Marriott Corporation................................................ $ 492 million Partners' equity (including redeemable limited partner interests of third parties at redemption value)............ $1,751 million Debt to equity ratio........................................ 3.3x(1)
- -------- (1) Debt to equity ratio is calculated using the total indebtedness including the convertible debt divided by the partners' equity, including redeemable limited partner interests of third parties at redemption value. Our substantial indebtedness could have important consequences. For example, it could adversely affect our ability to: . obtain financing in the future; . undertake refinancings on terms and conditions acceptable to us; . pursue our acquisition strategy; or . compete effectively or operate successfully under adverse economic conditions. If our cash flow and working capital were not sufficient to fund our expenditures or service our indebtedness, we would have to raise additional funds through: . the sale of equity; . the refinancing of all or part of our indebtedness; . the incurrence of additional permitted indebtedness; or . the sale of assets. We cannot assure you that any of these sources of funds would be available in amounts sufficient for us to meet our obligations or fulfill our business plans. 8 The notes effectively will be junior in right of payment to some other liabilities. Only those subsidiaries that have guaranteed payment of certain indebtedness other than the notes, including our credit facility, the Series A senior notes, the Series B senior notes, the Series C senior notes, the Series E senior notes, the Series C senior notes, and future indebtedness that is so guaranteed, have and are required to guarantee our obligations under the notes. Although the indenture governing the terms of the notes places limits on the overall level of indebtedness that non-guaranteeing subsidiaries may incur, the notes effectively will be junior in right of payment to liabilities of our subsidiaries which are not guarantors of the notes, to the extent of the assets of such subsidiaries. Since only those subsidiaries that guarantee the credit facility or our other indebtedness are required to guarantee the notes, there can be no assurance as to the number of subsidiaries that will be guarantors of the notes at any point in time or as to the value of their assets or significance of their operations. In addition, together with our subsidiaries, we have a significant amount of indebtedness secured by our assets and the subsidiary guarantors (other than the equity interests of our direct and indirect subsidiaries securing our credit facility and senior notes, including the Series F senior notes). The notes effectively will be junior in right of payment to this secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt. On a pro forma basis, giving effect to the transactions set forth in the section, "Pro Forma Financial Information of Host Marriott, L.P.", as of September 8, 2000, the amount of our and our subsidiaries' secured debt, other than the existing notes and bank credit facility debt, was approximately $2.3 billion. The notes will not be secured by our assets or those of our subsidiaries. The notes will be secured only by our directly and indirectly held equity interests in those of our subsidiaries that have been pledged in favor of our credit facility. In addition to the credit facility, this collateral will be shared equally and ratably with holders of other indebtedness, including but not limited to, the Series A senior notes, Series B senior notes, Series C senior notes, Series E senior notes and certain of our other indebtedness ranking pari passu with the notes. As of September 8, 2000, the amount of indebtedness (including the notes) secured by the equity interest of these subsidiaries would have been $3.1 billion. The terms of our debt place restrictions on us and our subsidiaries, reducing operational flexibility and creating default risks. The documents governing the terms of our debt, including the documents governing the terms of these notes, contain covenants that place restrictions on us and our subsidiaries. The activities upon which such restrictions exist include, but are not limited to: . the incurrence of additional debt; . the creation of liens; . the sale of assets; . transactions with affiliates; and . certain mergers and consolidations. Certain sales of assets or changes of control could result in an obligation for us to make an offer to purchase the notes. We cannot assure you that we would have adequate resources to consummate such an offer to purchase. In addition, certain covenants applying to debt other than the notes may require us and our subsidiaries to meet financial performance tests. These covenants reduce our flexibility in conducting our operations and create a risk of default under the debt if we cannot satisfy the covenants. The notes or a guarantee thereof may be deemed a fraudulent transfer. Under the federal bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws, a guarantee of the notes could be voided, or claims on a guarantee of the notes could be subordinated to all other debts of that guarantor if, among other things, the guarantor, at the time it incurred the indebtedness evidenced by its guarantee: (1) received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for the incurrence of such guarantee; and 9 (2) either: (a) was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of such incurrence; (b) was engaged in a business or transaction for which the guarantor's remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital; or (c) intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature. If such circumstances were found to exist, any payment by that guarantor pursuant to its guarantee of the notes also could be voided and required to be returned to the guarantor, or to a fund for the benefit of the creditors of the guarantor. In addition, our obligations under the notes may be subject to review under the same laws in the event of our bankruptcy or other financial difficulty. In that event, if a court were to find that when we issued the notes the factors in clauses (1) and (2) above applied to us, or that the notes were issued with actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud creditors, the court could avoid our obligations under the notes, or direct the return of any amounts paid thereunder to us or to a fund for the benefit of our creditors. The measures of insolvency for purposes of these fraudulent transfer laws will vary depending upon the law applied in any proceeding to determine whether a fraudulent transfer has occurred. Generally, however, the partnership or a guarantor would be considered insolvent if: . the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, were greater than the fair saleable value of all of its assets; or . if the present fair saleable value of its assets were less than the amount that would be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts, including contingent liabilities, as they become absolute and mature; or . it could not pay its debts as they become due. On the basis of historical financial information, recent operating history and other factors, we believe that we and each of our guarantors, after giving effect to the guarantee of the notes, will be solvent, will have a reasonable amount of capital for the business in which we or it is engaged and will not have incurred debts beyond our or its ability to pay such debts as they mature. We can offer no assurance, however, as to what standard a court would apply in making such determinations or that a court would agree with our conclusions in this regard. An active trading market may not develop for the notes. The Series F senior notes are not listed on any securities exchange. Since their issuance, there has been a limited trading market for the Series F senior notes. To the extent that Series F senior notes are tendered and accepted in the exchange offer, the trading market for untendered and tendered but unaccepted Series F senior notes will be adversely affected. We cannot assure you that this market will provide liquidity for you if you want to sell your Series F senior notes. We will not list the Series G senior notes on any securities exchange. These notes are new securities for which there is currently no market. The Series G senior notes may trade at a discount from their initial offering price, depending upon prevailing interest rates, the market for similar securities, our performance and other factors. We have been advised by Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette and BT Alex. Brown that they intend to make a market in the Series G senior notes, as well as the Series F senior notes, as permitted by applicable laws and regulations. However, they are not obligated to do so and their market making activities may be discontinued at any time without notice. In addition, their market making activities may be limited during our exchange offer. Therefore, we cannot assure you that an active market for Series G senior notes will develop. 10 We do not control our day to day hotel operations, and we are dependent on the managers and lessees of our hotels. Because federal income tax laws currently restrict REITs and "publicly traded" partnerships from deriving revenues directly from operating a hotel, we operate none of our hotels. Instead, we lease virtually all of our hotels to subsidiaries of Crestline which, in turn, retain managers to manage our hotels as agents pursuant to management agreements. Thus, we are dependent on the lessees but, under the hotel leases, we have little influence over how the lessees operate our hotels. Similarly, we have very limited recourse if we believe that the hotel managers do not maximize the revenues from our hotels, which in turn will maximize the rental payments we receive under the leases. We may seek redress under most leases only if the lessee violates the terms of the lease and then only to the extent of the remedies set forth in the lease. Each lessee's ability to pay rent accrued under its lease depends to a large extent on the ability of the hotel manager to operate the hotel effectively and to generate gross sales in excess of its operating expenses. Our rental income from the hotels may therefore be adversely affected if the managers fail to provide quality services and amenities and competitive room rates at our hotels or fail to maintain the quality of the hotel brand names. Although the lessees have primary liability under the management agreements while the leases are in effect, we remain liable under the management agreements for all obligations that the lessees do not perform. We may terminate a lease if the lessee defaults under a management agreement, but terminating the lease could, unless another suitable lessee is found, impair Host REIT's ability to continue to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes and our ability to qualify as a partnership for federal income tax purposes if we are a "publicly traded partnership" unless another suitable lessee is found. As described below, Host REIT's inability to qualify as a REIT or our inability to qualify as a partnership for federal income tax purposes would have a material adverse effect on us. The REIT Modernization Act will permit a REIT to lease hotels to a taxable C corporation in which it owns an equity interest, referred to as a "taxable REIT subsidiary," or "TRS," effective beginning January 1, 2001. See "--The REIT Modernization Act will affect the way in which our non-controlled subsidiaries are taxed" below. On November 13, 2000, we and Crestline announced the execution of a definitive agreement for the purchase and sale, effective January 1, 2001, of the entities owning the leasehold interests with respect to 117 of our full-service hotels for approximately $205 million, including recording a non-recurring loss of $120 million net of tax on the acquisition. After the transaction is consummated, we will lease these hotels to a newly created subsidiary of ours that qualifies as a TRS. In connection therewith, we will recognize the revenues and expenses generated by the hotels subject to the leases and we will no longer recognize rental income from these leases. Consummation of the transaction with Crestline is subject to various conditions, including the receipt of required third party consents. There can be no assurance that we will be able to consummate this transaction. We do not control the assets held by the non-controlled subsidiaries. We own economic interests in several taxable corporations, which we refer to as "non-controlled subsidiaries," that hold various assets which, under our credit facility may not exceed, in the aggregate, 15% of the value of our assets. The assets held by the non-controlled subsidiaries consist primarily of interests in partnerships that own hotels that are not leased to third parties, hotels that are not leased to third parties, some furniture, fixtures, furnishings and equipment used in our hotels and some international hotels. If we owned these assets, it could jeopardize Host REIT's REIT status and/or our status as a partnership for federal income tax purposes could be jeopardized under current federal income tax laws. Although we own approximately 95% of the total economic interests of the non-controlled subsidiaries, we own none of the voting stock of the non-controlled subsidiaries. The Host Marriott Statutory Employee/Charitable Trust, the beneficiaries of which are (1) a trust formed for the benefit of a number of our employees and (2) the J. Willard and Alice S. Marriott Foundation, owns all of the voting common stock, representing approximately 5% of the total economic interests in the non-controlled subsidiaries. The Host Marriott Statutory Employee/Charitable Trust elects the directors who are responsible for overseeing the operations of the non- controlled subsidiaries. The directors are currently our employees, although this is not required. As a result, we have no control over the operation or 11 management of the hotels or other assets owned by the non-controlled subsidiaries, even though we depend upon the non-controlled subsidiaries for a portion of our revenues. Also, the activities of the non-controlled subsidiaries could cause us to be in default under our principal credit facilities. Commencing January 1, 2001, the REIT Modernization Act will permit us to own all of the voting stock of the non-controlled subsidiaries without adversely affecting Host REIT's status so long as these subsidiaries elect to be "taxable REIT subsidiaries" as defined under the Act. We are considering pursuing a transaction with the Host Marriott Statutory Employee/Charitable Trust that would allow us to acquire control of the non-controlled subsidiaries, although we have not reached any such agreement and cannot assure you that any such agreement will be reached or that a transaction will be consummated. We are dependent upon the ability of Crestline and the lessees to meet their rent obligations. The lessees' rent payments are the primary source of our revenues. Crestline guarantees the obligations of its subsidiaries under the hotel leases, but Crestline's liability is limited to a relatively small portion of the aggregate rent obligation of its subsidiaries. The ability of Crestline and each of its subsidiaries to meet its obligations under the leases will determine the amount of our revenue and our ability to meet our obligations including payments of amounts due under the notes. We have no control over Crestline or any of its subsidiaries and cannot assure you that Crestline or any of its subsidiaries will have sufficient assets, income and access to financing to enable them to satisfy their obligations under the leases or to make payments of fees under the management agreements. Although the lessees have primary liability under the management agreements while the leases are in effect, we and our subsidiaries remain liable under the management agreements for all obligations that the lessees do not perform. Because of our current dependence on Crestline, our credit rating will be affected by its creditworthiness. If the previously discussed purchase of the Crestline entities owning the leasehold interests with respect to 117 of our full-service hotels is consummated effective January 1, 2001, we will instead lease our hotels to a newly created TRS and, thus, cease to be dependent upon Crestline. Our relationships with Marriott International and Crestline may result in conflicts of interest. Marriott International, a public hotel management company, manages a significant number of our hotels. In addition, Marriott International and Crestline manage hotels that compete with our hotels. Decisions made by our managers, including Marriott International and Crestline, regarding competing lodging facilities may not be in our best interest as owner. J.W. Marriott, Jr. is a member of Host REIT's Board of Directors and his brother, Richard E. Marriott, is Host REIT's Chairman of the Board. Both J.W. Marriott, Jr. and Richard E. Marriott serve as directors, and J.W. Marriott, Jr. also serves as Chairman of the Board and an officer, of Marriott International. J.W. Marriott, Jr. and Richard E. Marriott also beneficially own, as determined for securities law purposes, as of January 31, 2000, approximately 10.8% and 10.6%, respectively, of the outstanding shares of common stock of Marriott International. In addition, J.W. Marriott, Jr. and Richard E. Marriott own, as of January 31, 2000, approximately 5.2% and 4.8%, respectively, of the outstanding shares of common stock of Crestline. Neither J.W. Marriott, Jr. or Richard E. Marriott serves as an officer or director of Crestline. As a result, J.W. Marriott, Jr. and Richard E. Marriott have potential conflicts of interest as Host REIT directors when making decisions regarding Marriott International, including decisions relating to the management agreements involving the hotels, Marriott International's management of competing lodging properties and Crestline's leasing and other businesses. Both Host REIT's Board of Directors and the Board of Directors of Marriott International follow appropriate policies and procedures to limit the involvement of Messrs. J.W. Marriott, Jr. and Richard E. Marriott in conflict situations, including requiring them to abstain from voting as directors of either Host REIT or Marriott International or their respective subsidiaries on matters which present a conflict between the companies. If appropriate, these policies and procedures will apply to other directors and officers. Our leases and management agreements could impair the sale or other disposition of our hotels. Under each lease with a subsidiary of Crestline, we generally must purchase a lease if we want to terminate the lease prior to the expiration of its term. If we decide to sell a hotel, we may be required to 12 terminate its lease, and the payment of the purchase price under such circumstances could impair our ability to sell the hotel and would reduce the net proceeds of any sale. If the previously discussed purchase and sale of the Crestline entities owning the leasehold interests with respect to 117 of our full-service hotels is consummated effective January 1, 2001, we will lease our hotels to a newly created TRS and, therefore, the lease purchase provisions, which would remain in effect, would no longer affect us adversely. Under the terms of the management agreements, we generally may not sell, lease or otherwise transfer the hotels unless the transferee assumes the related management agreements and meets specified other conditions. Our ability to finance, refinance or sell any of the properties managed by our managers may, depending upon the structure of such transactions, require the manager's consent. If our managers did not consent, we would be prohibited from financing, refinancing or selling the property without breaching the management agreement. Our rental revenues from hotels are subject to the prior rights of lenders. The mortgages on some of our hotels require that rent payments under the leases on the hotels be used first to pay the debt service on the mortgage loans. Consequently, only the cash flow remaining after debt service on those mortgage loans will be available to satisfy other obligations, including property taxes and insurance, furniture, fixtures, furnishings and equipment reserves for the hotels and capital improvements, and to make distributions to our unitholders, including Host REIT. The acquisition contracts relating to some hotels limit our ability to sell or refinance those hotels. For reasons relating to federal income tax considerations of the former owners of some of our hotels, we have agreed to restrictions on selling some hotels or repaying or refinancing the mortgage debt on those hotels for varying periods depending on the hotel. We anticipate that, in specified circumstances, we may agree to similar restrictions in connection with future hotel acquisitions. As a result, even if it were in our best interests to sell or refinance the mortgage debt on these hotels, it may be difficult or impossible to do so during their respective lock-out periods. Our ground lease payments may increase faster than the rent revenues we receive on the hotels. As of September 8, 2000, we leased 53 of our hotels pursuant to ground leases. These ground leases generally require increases in ground rent payments every five years. Our ability to service debt could be adversely affected to the extent that the rents payable by the lessees under the leases do not increase at the same or a greater rate as the increases under the ground leases. In addition, if we were to sell a hotel encumbered by a ground lease, the buyer would have to assume the ground lease, which could result in a lower sales price. Moreover, to the extent that such ground leases are not renewed at their expiration, our revenues could be adversely affected. New acquisitions may fail to perform as expected or we may be unable to make acquisitions on favorable terms. We intend to acquire additional full-service hotels. Newly acquired properties may fail to perform as expected, which could adversely affect our financial condition. We may underestimate the costs necessary to bring an acquired property up to standards established for its intended market position. We expect to acquire hotels with cash from secured or unsecured financings and proceeds from offerings of equity or debt, to the extent available. We may not be in a position or have the opportunity in the future to make suitable property acquisitions on favorable terms. Competition for attractive investment opportunities may increase prices for hotel properties, thereby decreasing the potential return on our investment. In addition, under current federal income tax laws, in order to maintain Host REIT's status as a REIT, we must lease virtually all of the properties we acquire. Under the REIT Modernization Act, however, we are permitted to lease any newly acquired hotels to a taxable REIT subsidiary after December 31, 2000. 13 The seasonality of the hotel industry may affect the ability of the lessees to make timely rent payments. The seasonality of the hotel industry may, from time to time, affect either the amount of rent that accrues under the hotel leases or the ability of the lessees to make timely rent payments under the leases. A lessee's inability to make timely rent payments to us could adversely affect our financial condition and our ability to service debt. We may be unable to sell properties when appropriate because real estate investments are illiquid. Real estate investments generally cannot be sold quickly. We may not be able to vary our portfolio promptly in response to economic or other conditions. The inability to respond promptly to changes in the performance of our investments could adversely affect our financial condition, and ability to service debt including the notes. In addition, there are limitations under the federal tax laws applicable to REITs and agreements that we have entered into when we acquired some of our properties that may limit our ability to recognize the full economic benefit from a sale of our assets. Our revenues and the value of our properties are subject to conditions affecting the lodging industry. If our assets do not generate sufficient income to service our debt, we may be unable to pay interest on our debt, including the notes offered hereby. Our revenues and the value of our properties are subject to conditions affecting the lodging industry. These include: . changes in the national, regional and local economic climate; . local conditions such as an oversupply of hotel properties or a reduction in demand for hotel rooms; . the attractiveness of our hotels to consumers and competition from comparable hotels; . the quality, philosophy and performance of the managers of our hotels, primarily Marriott International; . the ability of any hotel lessee to maximize rental payments; . changes in room rates and increases in operating costs due to inflation and other factors; and . the need to periodically refurbish our hotels. Adverse changes in these conditions could adversely affect our financial performance. Our expenses may remain constant even if our revenue drops. The expenses of owning property are not necessarily reduced when circumstances like market factors and competition cause a reduction in income from the property. If a property is mortgaged and we are unable to meet the mortgage payments, the lender could foreclose and take the property. Our financial condition could be adversely affected by: . interest rate levels; . the availability of financing; . the cost of compliance with government regulation, including zoning and tax laws; and . changes in governmental regulations, including those governing usage, zoning and taxes. We depend on our key personnel. We depend on the efforts of our executive officers and other key personnel. While we believe that we could find replacements for these key personnel, the loss of their services could have a significant adverse effect on our operations. We do not intend to obtain key-man life insurance with respect to any of our key personnel. 14 Partnership and other litigation judgments or settlements could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. We and Host REIT are parties to various lawsuits relating to previous partnership transactions, including the roll-up of certain partnerships associated with the REIT conversion. While we and the other defendants to such lawsuits believe all of the lawsuits in which we are a defendant are without merit and we are vigorously defending against such claims, we can give no assurance as to the outcome of any of the lawsuits. In connection with the REIT conversion, we have assumed all liability arising under legal proceedings filed against Host REIT and will indemnify Host REIT as to all such matters. If any of the lawsuits were to be determined adversely to us or settlement involving a payment of a material sum of money were to occur, there could be a material adverse effect on our financial condition. Environmental problems are possible and can be costly. We believe that our properties are in compliance in all material respects with applicable environmental laws. Unidentified environmental liabilities could arise, however, and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and performance. Federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment may require a current or previous owner or operator of real estate to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum product releases at the property. The owner or operator may have to pay a governmental entity or third parties for property damage and for investigation and clean-up costs incurred by the parties in connection with the contamination. These laws typically impose clean-up responsibility and liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of or caused the presence of the contaminants. Even if more than one person may have been responsible for the contamination, each person covered by the environmental laws may be held responsible for all of the clean-up costs incurred. In addition, third parties may sue the owner or operator of a site for damages and costs resulting from environmental contamination emanating from that site. Environmental laws also govern the presence, maintenance and removal of asbestos. These laws require that owners or operators of buildings containing asbestos properly manage and maintain the asbestos, notify and train those who may come into contact with asbestos and undertake special precautions, including removal or other abatement, if asbestos would be disturbed during renovation or demolition of a building. These laws may impose fines and penalties on building owners or operators who fail to comply with these requirements and may allow third parties to seek recovery from owners or operators for personal injury associated with exposure to asbestos fibers. Compliance with other government regulations can also be costly. Our hotels are subject to various forms of regulation, including Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act, building codes and regulations pertaining to fire safety. Compliance with those laws and regulations could require substantial capital expenditures. These regulations may be changed from time to time, or new regulations adopted, resulting in additional or unexpected costs of compliance. Any increased costs could reduce the cash available for servicing debt and making distributions to our unitholders. Some potential losses are not covered by insurance. We carry comprehensive liability, fire, flood and extended coverage and rental loss (for rental losses extending up to 12 months) insurance with respect to all of our hotels. We believe the policy specifications and insured limits of these policies are of the type customarily carried for similar hotels. Some types of losses, such as from earthquakes and environmental hazards, however, may be either uninsurable or too expensive to justify insuring against. Should an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occur, we could lose all or a portion of the capital we have invested in a hotel, as well as the anticipated future revenue from the hotel. In that event, we might nevertheless remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other financial obligations related to the property. We cannot guarantee that Host REIT will qualify as a REIT. Host REIT has been organized and has operated in such a manner so as to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, commencing with its taxable year beginning January 1, 1999. A REIT generally is not 15 taxed at the corporate level on income it currently distributes to its shareholders as long as it distributes currently at least 95% of its taxable income, excluding net capital gain. This distribution requirement will be reduced to 90% in years beginning after December 31, 2000. No assurance can be provided, however, that Host REIT will qualify as a REIT or that new legislation, Treasury Regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions will not significantly change the tax laws with respect to its qualification as a REIT or the federal income tax consequences of such qualification. Our ability to accumulate cash is limited. In order to continue to qualify as a REIT, Host REIT currently is required each year to distribute to its shareholders at least 95% of its taxable income, excluding net capital gain, and will be required to distribute at least 90% of this amount for years beginning after December 31, 2000. A REIT must pay tax on distributions of less than 100% of taxable income. Due to some transactions entered into in years prior to the REIT conversion, Host REIT expects to recognize substantial amounts of "phantom" income, which is taxable income that is not matched by cash flow or EBITDA. In addition, Host REIT will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which certain distributions made by Host REIT with respect to the calendar year are less than the sum of 85% of Host REIT's ordinary income, 95% of Host REIT's capital gain net income for that year, and any undistributed taxable income from prior periods. Generally, Host REIT intends to distribute 100% of its taxable income, excluding net capital gains to its shareholders, to comply with the 95% distribution requirement and to avoid paying either tax on its income or the nondeductible excise tax. Host REIT will rely on distributions from us for purposes of making such distributions. However, differences in timing between taxable income and cash available for distribution due to, among other things, the seasonality of the lodging industry and the fact that some taxable income will be "phantom" income could require us to borrow funds or to issue additional equity to enable Host REIT to meet the 95% distribution requirements and, therefore, to maintain Host REIT's REIT status, and to avoid the nondeductible excise tax. We are required to pay, or reimburse Host REIT, as our general partner, for, some taxes and other liabilities and expenses that it incurs, including all taxes and liabilities attributable to periods and events prior to the REIT conversion. In addition, because the REIT distribution requirements prevent Host REIT from retaining earnings, we will generally be required to refinance debt that matures with additional debt or equity. We cannot assure you that any of these sources of funds, if available at all, would be sufficient to meet our distribution and tax obligations. Host REIT was required to distribute all of its earnings and profits before the end of fiscal year 1999, and we cannot assure you that it met this requirement. In order to qualify as a REIT, Host REIT cannot have at the end of any taxable year any undistributed earnings and profits that is attributable to one of its non-REIT taxable years. Host REIT was required to have distributed this E&P prior to the end of 1999, the first taxable year for which its REIT election was effective. If Host REIT failed to do this, it will be disqualified as a REIT at least for taxable year 1999. We believe that distributions of non- REIT E&P that Host REIT made were sufficient to distribute all of the non-REIT E&P as of December 31, 1999, but there could be uncertainties relating to the estimate of Host REIT's non-REIT E&P and the value of the Crestline stock that Host REIT distributed to its shareholders. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that Host REIT met this requirement. Host REIT may not be able to meet the income tests to qualify as a REIT. To qualify as a REIT, Host REIT must satisfy two gross income tests, under which specified percentages of its gross income must be passive income, like rent. For the rent paid pursuant to the leases, which constitutes substantially all of our gross income, to qualify for purposes of the gross income tests, the leases must be respected as true leases for federal income tax purposes and not be treated as service contracts, joint ventures or some other type of arrangement. In addition, the lessees must not be regarded as "related party tenants," as defined in the Internal Revenue Code. We believe, taking into account both the terms of the leases and the 16 expectations that we and the lessees have with respect to the leases, that the leases will be respected as true leases for federal income tax purposes. There can be no assurance, however, that the IRS will agree with this view. If the leases were not respected as true leases for federal income tax purposes or if the lessees were regarded as "related party tenants," Host REIT would not be able to satisfy either of the two gross income tests applicable to REITs and Host REIT would lose its REIT status. If Host REIT fails to continue to qualify as a REIT, it will be subject to federal income tax, including any applicable alternative minimum tax, on its taxable income at regular corporate rates. Host REIT's failure to qualify as a REIT would result in a default under the senior notes and the credit facility. As a result of the REIT Modernization Act, beginning January 1, 2001, a "taxable REIT subsidiary" of Host REIT that meets certain requirements would not be regarded as a "related party tenant" with respect to hotels leased by Host REIT. Host REIT is subject to taxes, even if it continues to qualify as a REIT. Notwithstanding Host REIT's status as a REIT, we are subject to certain federal, state and local taxes on our income and property. In addition, Host REIT will be required to pay tax at the regular corporate rate, currently 35%, upon its share of any "built-in gain" recognized as a result of any sale before January 1, 2009, by us of assets, including the hotels, in which interests were acquired by us from Host REIT's predecessor and its subsidiaries as part of the REIT conversion. Built-in gain is the amount by which an asset's fair market value exceeded Host REIT's adjusted basis in the asset on January 1, 1999, the first day of Host REIT's first taxable year as a REIT. At the time of the REIT conversion there were substantial built-in gain and deferred tax liabilities that Host REIT would recognize in the next ten years without any corresponding receipt of cash by Host REIT from us. Host REIT, however, recognized a substantial amount of these built-in gains and deferred tax liabilities in 1999. Accordingly, our potential tax exposure on these gains and deferred liabilities for the future is significantly less than it was at the time of our REIT conversion. We are obligated under our partnership agreement to pay all such taxes incurred by Host REIT, as well as any liabilities that the IRS may assert against Host REIT for corporate income taxes for taxable years prior to the time it qualified as a REIT. The non-controlled subsidiaries are fully taxable corporations and will pay federal and state income tax on their net income at the applicable corporate rates. Any taxable REIT subsidiaries that we form pursuant to the provisions of the REIT Modernization Act that become effective January 1, 2001, also will be fully taxable at the regular corporate income tax rates. If we fail to qualify as a partnership, Host REIT would fail to qualify as a REIT, adversely affecting our operations. We believe that we qualify to be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. No assurance can be provided, however, that the IRS will not challenge our status as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, or that a court would not sustain such a challenge. If the IRS were successful in treating us as a corporation for tax purposes, Host REIT would fail to meet two of the asset tests applicable to REITs and, accordingly, cease to qualify as a REIT. If Host REIT fails to continue to qualify as a REIT, it will be subject to federal income tax, including any applicable alternative minimum tax, on its taxable income at regular corporate rates. Host REIT's failure to qualify as a REIT would result in a default under the senior notes and the credit facility. Also, the imposition of a corporate tax on us would reduce significantly the amount of cash available for distribution to our unitholders, including Host REIT. Finally, the classification of us as a corporation would cause Host REIT to recognize gain at least equal to its "negative capital accounts," and possibly more, depending upon the circumstances. The REIT Modernization Act will affect the way in which our non-controlled subsidiaries are taxed. Currently, a REIT may not own securities in any one issuer if the value of those securities exceeds 5% of the value of the REIT's total assets or the securities owned by the REIT represent more than 10% of the issuer's outstanding voting securities. As a result of the REIT Modernization Act, after December 31, 2000, the 5% value test and the 10% voting security test will be modified in two respects. First, the 10% voting securities 17 test will be expanded so that REITs also will be prohibited from owning more than 10% of the value of the outstanding securities of any one issuer. Second, an exception to these tests will allow a REIT to own securities of a subsidiary that exceed the 5% value test and the new 10% vote or value test if the subsidiary elects to be a "taxable REIT subsidiary," which would be a fully taxable corporation. Under a new asset test, for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2000, we will not be able to own securities of taxable REIT subsidiaries that represent in the aggregate more than 20% of the value of our total assets. We expect that both of our current non-controlled subsidiaries will elect to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries. Several provisions of the new law will ensure that a taxable REIT subsidiary will be subject to an appropriate level of federal income taxation. For example, a taxable REIT subsidiary will be limited in its ability to deduct interest payments made to an affiliated REIT. In addition, the REIT will have to pay a 100% penalty tax on some payments that it receives if the economic arrangements between the REIT, the REIT's tenants, and the taxable REIT subsidiary are not comparable to similar arrangements between unrelated parties.

The pro forma financial information of Host LP set forth below is based on the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the thirty-six weeks ended September 8, 2000 ("First Three Quarters 2000") and audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999. The pro forma financial statements reflect the following transactions: 2000 Transactions: .

November cash payments of $6 million by Host LP and $82 million by a non- controlled subsidiary ("NCS") of Host LP (of which $52 million in cash was advanced to the NCS by Host LP) in settlement of certain litigation. The settlement of the litigation includes the acquisition of a 50% non- controlling interest in a joint venture owning the limited partner interests in two affiliated partnerships; . October issuance of $250 million of Series F senior notes and their subsequent exchange for Series G senior notes, and application of a portion of the proceeds therefrom to repay $26 million debt outstanding under the bank credit facility; .

H. Represents the adjustment to reduce interest income for the cash payment of approximately $31 million made from corporate cash balances during September 2000, to settle litigation with plaintiffs from four partnerships. I. Represents the adjustment to reduce the historical revenues and property level expenses for the 1999 sales of the Minneapolis/Bloomington Airport Marriott, the Saddle Brook Marriott, Marriott's Grand Hotel and Golf Resort, The Ritz-Carlton, Boston, and the El Paso Marriott, including the elimination of the non-recurring gains and taxes on the sales totaling $24 million and $5 million, respectively, in fiscal year 1999. J. Represents the adjustment to reduce interest income for approximately $150 million in cash payments made during 1999 and 2000 to repurchase Host REIT common stock, OP units and Host REIT's convertible preferred securities in connection with our stock buyback plan. K. Represents the adjustment to record full-year distributions on 8.16 million units of cumulative redeemable preferred limited partner units, which were issued during the second half of 1999. Holders of the units are entitled to receive a cash distribution of $2.50 per unit annually. 27 L. The historical weighted average common OP units outstanding was 291.6 million and 284.2 million for fiscal year 1999 and the First Three Quarters 2000, respectively. On a pro forma basis, weighted average common OP units outstanding for fiscal year 1999 and the First Three Quarters 2000 would be 280.6 million and 283.2 million, respectively, to reflect units repurchased in conjunction with the stock repurchase plan. 28 SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA The following table presents certain selected historical financial data of us and Host Marriott, the predecessor to Host REIT, which has been derived from Host Marriott's audited consolidated financial statements for the four years prior to 1999, our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999 and our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statement for the First Three Quarters 2000 and 1999. The information contained in the following table for years prior to 1999 is not comparable to our 2000 and 1999 operations because the historical information relates to an operating entity which owns and operates its hotels, while we own the hotels but lease them to the lessees and receive rental payments in connection therewith. If we and Crestline complete the previously discussed transaction for the purchase and sale of the Crestline entities owning the leasehold interests with respect to 117 of our full-service hotels during January 2001, our consolidated operations going forward will represent property-level revenues and expenses rather than rental income from lessees.

29 - -------- (1) The Internal Revenue Code requires REITs to file their income tax return on a calendar year basis. Accordingly, in 1998 we changed our fiscal year end to December 31 for both financial and tax reporting requirements. Previously, our fiscal year ended on the Friday nearest to December 31. As a result of this change, the results of operations for 15 hotels not managed by Marriott International were adjusted in 1998 to include 13 months of operations (December 1997 through December 1998) and therefore are not comparable to fiscal years 1997 and 1996, each of which included 12 months of operations. The additional month of operations in 1998 increased our revenues by $44 million. (2) Fiscal year 1996 includes 53 weeks. Fiscal years 1995, 1997, 1998 and 1999 include 52 weeks. (3) Our leases have initial terms ranging from 7 to 10 years, subject to earlier termination upon the occurrence of certain contingencies, as defined. The rent due under each lease is the greater of base rent or percentage rent, as defined. Percentage rent applicable to room, food and beverage and other types of hotel sales varies by lease and is calculated by multiplying fixed percentages by the total amounts of such revenues over specified threshold amounts. Both the minimum rent and the revenue thresholds used in computing percentage rents are subject to annual adjustments based on increases in the United States Consumer Price Index and the Labor Index, as defined.We recognize percentage rent when all contingencies have been met, that is, when annual thresholds for percentage rent have been met or exceeded. Percentage rent received pursuant to the leases but not recognized is included on the balance sheet as deferred rent. Contingent rental revenue of $366 million and $339 million, respectively, for the First Three Quarters 2000 and 1999, have been deferred. (4) During the First Three Quarters 2000, we recorded an extraordinary loss of $2 million in connection with the renegotiation of the bank credit facility and an extraordinary gain of $5 million related to the extinguishment of a portion of the convertible debt obligation to Host REIT. During the First Three Quarters 1999, we recorded an extraordinary gain of $13 million related to the renegotiation of the management agreement for the New York Marriott Marquis and a $3 million extraordinary loss for the write-off of deferred financing fees along with a $7 million extraordinary gain on the termination of the interest rate swap agreements, both related to the refinancing of mortgage debt for eight properties. In 1999, we recognized a $14 million extraordinary gain on the renegotiation of the management agreement for the New York Marriott Marquis, a net extraordinary gain of $5 million related to the refinancing of the mortgage debt for eight properties, a $2 million extraordinary loss related to prepayments on the bank credit facility, and a net extraordinary gain of $12 million related to the extinguishment of a portion of the convertible debt obligation to Host REIT. In 1998, we recognized a $148 million extraordinary loss, net of taxes, on the early extinguishment of debt. In 1997, we recognized a $3 million extraordinary gain, net of taxes, on the early extinguishment of debt. Also in 1998, we recognized REIT conversion expenses of $64 million and recorded a tax benefit of $106 million related to tax liabilities that we will not recognize as a result of our conversion to a REIT. The loss from continuing operations for 1995 includes a $10 million pre-tax charge to write down the carrying value of five limited service properties to their net realizable value and a $60 million pre-tax charge to write down an undeveloped land parcel to its estimated sales value. In 1995, we recognized a $20 million extraordinary loss, net of taxes, on the extinguishment of debt. (5) The historical financial data for fiscal years 1998 and 1997 reflect as discontinued operations our senior living business that we formerly conducted but disposed of in the spin-off of Crestline as part of the REIT conversion. We recorded income from the discontinued operations, net of taxes, of $6 million in fiscal year 1998. We recorded a loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes, of $61 million in 1995, as a result of the spin-off of Host Marriott Services Corporation. The 1995 loss from discontinued operations includes a pre-tax charge of $47 million for the adoption of SFAS No. 121, "Accounting For the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," a pretax $15 million restructuring charge and an extraordinary loss of $10 million, net of taxes, on the extinguishment of debt. (6) Historical revenue for 2000 and 1999 primarily represents lease income generated by our leases with Crestline. Periods prior to 1999 represent gross hotel sales as our leases were not in effect until January 1, 1999. Revenues for fiscal years 1998, 1997, 1996 and 1995 have also been adjusted to reclassify interest income as revenue (previously classified as other income from operations) in order to be consistent with our 2000 and 1999 statements of operations presentation. (7) Basic earnings (loss) per common unit is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of units of common OP Units outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per common unit is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of units of common OP Units outstanding plus other dilutive securities. Diluted earnings (loss) per unit has not been adjusted for the impact of the Convertible Preferred Securities for 1999, 1997 and 1996 and for the comprehensive stock plan for 1995 through 1996, as they are anti- dilutive. There were no dilutive securities for the First Three Quarters 2000 and 1999. (8) 2000 cash dividends per common unit for the first and second quarters reflect a quarterly cash distribution of $0.21 per common unit paid on April 14 and July 14, 2000, and a quarterly cash distribution of $0.23 per common unit paid on October 16, 2000. 1999 cash dividends per common unit reflect a quarterly cash distribution of $0.21 per common unit paid on April 14, July 14 and October 15, 1999 and January 17, 2000. 1998 cash distributions per common unit reflect the cash portion of a special dividend paid on February 10, 1999. This special dividend entitled shareholders of record on December 28, 1998 to elect to receive either $1.00 in cash or .087 of a share of common stock for each outstanding share of our common stock owned by such shareholder on the record date. Cash totaling approximately $73 million and approximately 11.5 million shares were subsequently issued during 1999. (9) Total assets for fiscal year 1997 include $236 million related to net investment in discontinued operations. (10) Long-term obligations consist of long term debt (which includes senior notes, secured senior notes, mortgage debt, a revolving bank credit facility, convertible debt obligation to Host Marriott Corporation, and other notes) and capital lease obligations. (11) The deficiency of $70 million in 1995 is primarily as a result of depreciation expense. The deficiency of $145 million and $137 million for the First Three Quarters 2000 and 1999, respectively, is due to the deferral of contingent rent of $366 million and $339 million for the same periods, respectively. 30 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Overview Host Marriott, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, operates through an umbrella partnership structure and is the owner of hotel properties. Host REIT operates as a self-managed and self-administered REIT with its operations conducted solely through us and our subsidiaries. Since REITs are not currently permitted to derive revenues directly from the operations of hotels, we lease substantially all of the hotels to subsidiaries of Crestline Capital Corporation. As of September 8, 2000, we owned, or had controlling interests in, 122 upscale and luxury, full-service hotel lodging properties generally located throughout the United States and operated primarily under the Marriott, Ritz- Carlton, Four Seasons, Swissotel, Hilton and Hyatt brand names. Most of these properties are managed by Marriott International. During 1999, our basic earnings per unit before extraordinary items decreased 4% to $0.86, and for the First Three Quarters of 2000 and 1999 our basic loss per unit before extraordinary items decreased to $0.09 from $0.16, respectively. Our full year 1999 results benefited from increased hotel sales, offset by the loss on litigation settlement, and the refinancing of almost $1.2 billion of debt with long term fixed rate notes. As of September 8, 2000, the refinancing of our debt that began in 1999 and continued in 2000 has resulted in an average interest rate of approximately 8.1% with 95% of the debt at a fixed rate and an average maturity of approximately seven years with only $41 million of our principal due through 2001. During the third and fourth quarter of 1999 we received net proceeds of $196 million as a result of the issuance of 8.16 million in perpetual preferred stock by Host REIT and our issuance of a substantially similar preferred OP Unit security, of which Host REIT is the sole holder. Also in the third quarter of 1999, Host REIT implemented a stock repurchase program which resulted in the retirement of a like number of OP Units held by Host REIT being repurchased. We are focused on carefully using our capital to improve returns to unitholders. In 1999 and the first quarter of 2000, our primary use of free cash flow and asset sales proceeds was the funding of Host REIT's stock buyback plan. We believe that the stock repurchase program reflected the best return on investment for our unitholders. However, we have and will continue to look at strategic acquisitions, such as our purchase in May 2000 of a non-controlling interest in the J.W. Marriott Hotel in Washington, D.C., as well as evaluate the stock repurchase program based on changes in market conditions and the stock price. Through September 8, 2000, the stock repurchase program has resulted in the retirement of 10.7 million shares of Host REIT common stock, 1.5 million shares of Host REIT's Convertible Preferred Securities and 0.6 million operating partnership units, for a total reduction of 16.2 million equivalent units on a fully diluted basis for $150 million. On November 13, 2000, we executed a definitive agreement with Crestline for the purchase and sale of the entities owning the leasehold interests with respect to 117 of our full-service hotels. Under the terms of the transaction, our newly created wholly-owned subsidiary, which will elect to be treated as a TRS, will purchase certain Crestline subsidiaries, whose primary assets are the leasehold interests, for approximately $205 million, including recording a non- recurring loss of $120 million net of tax on the acquisition. The consummation of the transaction, which is permitted as a result of the passage of the REIT Modernization Act, will simplify our corporate structure, enable us to better control our portfolio of hotels, and is expected to be accretive to our future earnings. Effective November 15, 1999, we amended substantially all of our leases with Crestline to give Crestline the right to renew each of these leases for up to four additional terms of seven years each at a fair rental value to be determined either by agreement between us and Crestline or through arbitration at the time the renewal option is exercised. Crestline is under no obligation to exercise these renewal options, and we have the right to terminate the renewal options during time periods specified in the amendments. In addition, the amendments provide that the fair rental value payable by us to Crestline in connection with the purchase of a lease, as 31 described below, does not include any amounts relating to any renewal period. Therefore, the fair rental value of a lease after expiration of the initial term for such lease would be zero. In December 1999, the REIT Modernization Act was passed, effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2000, which significantly amends the REIT laws applicable to us. Under the REIT Modernization Act, beginning January 1, 2001, (i) we will be able to lease our hotels to a subsidiary that is a taxable corporation and that elects to be treated as a "taxable REIT subsidiary" rather than to a third party such as Crestline and (ii) we will be permitted to own all of the voting stock of such taxable REIT subsidiary. In addition, as a result of passage of the REIT Modernization Act, and under the terms of our leases with Crestline subsidiaries, we have the right to purchase the leases from Crestline on or after January 1, 2001, for a price equal to the fair rental value of the lessee's interest in the leases over their remaining terms based on an agreed upon formula, excluding any option periods. On November 13, we announced the execution of a definitive agreement with Crestline for the purchase and sale of the entities owning the leasehold interests with respect to 117 full-service hotel properties owned by us. Under the terms of the transaction, a wholly-owned subsidiary, which will elect to be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary ("TRS"), will purchase the Crestline subsidiaries, whose primary assets are the leasehold interests, for approximately $205 million, including recording a non-recurring loss of $120 million net of tax on the acquisition. In connection therewith, we will recognize the revenues and expenses generated by the hotels subject to the leases and we will no longer recognize rental income from these leases. Consummation of the transaction is subject to various conditions, including the receipt of any required third party consents. There can be no assurance that the purchase will be consummated. We are also considering pursuing a transaction with Host Marriot Statutory Employee/Charitable Trust that would allow us to acquire control of the non-controlled subsidiaries which we expect will elect to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries, although we have not reached any such agreement and cannot assure you that any such agreement will be reached. We and Marriott International have settled with plaintiffs to resolve specific litigation involving seven limited partnerships in which we act as general partner. The settlement involved an acquisition of the limited partner interests in two partnerships by a joint venture between one of our affiliates and a subsidiary of Marriott International, the contribution by our non- controlled subsidiaries of their general partnership interests in the partnerships and cash payments to partners in the other five partnerships, in exchange for resolution of claims against all defendants in all seven partnerships. Our share of the cash required to resolve the litigation, including the acquisition by a joint venture formed by us and Marriott International of two of the partnerships, was approximately $124 million. Of this amount, $31 million in cash was paid during September 2000 in settlement of litigation with the plaintiffs from four of the partnerships, and $88 million in cash was paid by us and a non-controlled subsidiary in settlement of litigation with plaintiffs in two partnerships. The settlement included the acquisition of a 50% non-controlling interest in a joint venture owning the limited partner interests in two affiliated partnerships. As a result of the settlement, we recorded a one-time non-recurring, pre-tax charge of $40 million in the fourth quarter of 1999. Results of Operations Our historical revenues prior to 1999 primarily represented gross property- level sales from hotels, net gains on property transactions, interest income and equity in earnings of affiliates. Our historical operating costs and expenses prior to 1999 principally consisted of property-level operating costs, depreciation, management fees, real and personal property taxes, ground, building and equipment rent, property insurance and other costs. As of January 1, 1999, we lease substantially all of our hotels to subsidiaries of Crestline due to the REIT conversion. As a result of these leases, we no longer record property-level revenues and operating expenses, rather we recognize rental income on the leases and specified owner expenses, including real estate and property taxes, property insurance, and ground and equipment rent related to the properties. The comparison of the 2000 and 1999 results with 1998 and 1997 is also affected by a change in the reporting period for our hotels not managed by Marriott International. Thus, 2000 and 1999 revenues and expenses are not comparable with prior years. 32 If we and Crestline complete the previously discussed transaction for the purchase and sale of the Crestline entities owning the leasehold interests with respect to 117 of our full-service hotels during January 2001, our future consolidated revenues and operating expenses will primarily consist of gross property-level revenues and expenses, rather than rental income related to the leases with our wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary. First Three Quarters 2000 Compared to First Three Quarters 1999 Revenues. Our revenues primarily represent rental income from our leased hotels, net gains on property transactions, interest income and equity in earnings of affiliates. Percentage rental revenues of $75 million and $86 million for the twelve weeks ended September 8, 2000 and September 10, 1999, respectively, and $366 million and $339 for the thirty-six weeks ended September 8, 2000 ("First Three Quarters 2000") and September 10, 1999 ("First Three Quarters 1999"), respectively, were deferred in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"). Percentage rent will be recognized as income during the year once specified hotel sales thresholds are achieved. The table below represents hotel sales from which rental income is computed. The table is presented in order to facilitate an investor's reconciliation of hotel sales to rental income.

Rental income increased $36 million, or 19%, to $224 for the third quarter of 2000 and increased $34 million, or 6% to $580 million for the First Three Quarters 2000, primarily driven by the growth in room revenues generated per available room or REVPAR for comparable properties, and the completion of the new Tampa Waterside Marriott in February 2000 and the 500-room expansion at the Orlando World Center Marriott in June 2000, partially offset by the sale of five properties in 1999. REVPAR increased 9.4% to $119.74 for the third quarter of 2000 and 6.6% to $124.31 for the First Three Quarters 2000 for comparable properties, which consist of the 114 properties owned, directly or indirectly, by us for the same period of time in each period covered, excluding two properties where significant expansion at the hotels affected operations and five properties where reported results were affected by a change in reporting period. On a comparable basis, average room rates increased approximately 7.9% and 6.3%, while average occupancy increased one percentage point and less than one percentage point for the third quarter of 2000 and First Three Quarters 2000, respectively. Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased $7 million or 10% for the third quarter of 2000 and increased $21 million or 10% for the First Three Quarters 2000, reflecting an increase in depreciable assets, which is primarily the result of capital projects placed in service in 2000, including the Tampa Waterside Marriott and expansion at the Orlando World Center Marriott, partially offset by net asset disposals of approximately $174 million in connection with the sale of five hotels during 1999. Property-level Owner Expenses. Property-level owner expenses primarily consist of property taxes, insurance, and ground and equipment rent. These expenses increased $4 million, or 6%, to $66 million for the third quarter of 2000 and increased $7 million, or 4%, to $191 million for the First Three Quarters 2000, primarily due to an increase in ground lease expense, which is commensurate with the increase in hotel sales, and an increase in equipment rent expense due to technology initiatives at the hotels during 2000. 33 Minority Interest Expense. Minority interest expense decreased 50% to $1 million in the third quarter of 2000 and 15% to $11 million for the First Three Quarters 2000. The decrease in minority interest expense reflect the minority owners' share in the net losses for the periods, which is primarily the result of the deferral of contingent rental revenue. Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased 1% to $107 million in the third quarter of 2000, primarily due to a decrease in the outstanding balance of the convertible debt obligation to Host REIT, as approximately $75 million of the debt obligation was extinguished in connection with the repurchase of approximately 1.5 million shares of Host REIT's Convertible Preferred Securities during the fourth quarter of 1999 and first quarter of 2000, and partially offset by a decrease in capitalized interest as the development projects at the Tampa Waterside Marriott and Orlando World Center Marriott were completed in February and June 2000, respectively. Interest expense decreased 3% to $315 million for the First Three Quarters 2000, primarily due to the aforementioned decrease in the convertible debt obligation to Host REIT and repayments totaling $225 million on the term loan portion of the bank credit facility during the fourth quarter of 1999. Corporate Expenses. Corporate expenses were $7 million and $5 million for the third quarters of 2000 and 1999, respectively, and increased $7 million to $27 million for the First Three Quarters 2000, resulting primarily from an increase in compensation expense related to employee stock plans. Extraordinary Gain (Loss). There were no extraordinary items recognized during the third quarter of 2000. During the first quarter of 2000, we extinguished approximately $22 million of the convertible debt obligation to Host REIT through the purchase of 435,000 shares of Host REIT's Convertible Preferred Securities on the open market. We recorded an extraordinary gain of approximately $5 million on this transaction, based on the discount at which we purchased the Convertible Preferred Securities. During the twelve weeks ended June 16, 2000, we recorded an extraordinary loss of approximately $2 million representing the write off of deferred financing costs and certain fees paid to our lender in connection with the renegotiation of the bank credit facility. In connection with the refinancing of the mortgage and the renegotiation of the management agreement on the New York Marriott Marquis, we recognized an extraordinary gain of $13 million on the forgiveness of debt in the form of accrued incentive management fees in the second quarter of 1999. An extraordinary loss of $3 million representing the write-off of deferred financing fees was recognized in July 1999 when the mortgage debt for eight properties was refinanced, including the New York Marriott Marquis. In connection with this refinancing, the interest rate swap agreements associated with some of the original debt were terminated and a $7 million extraordinary gain was recognized. Net Loss. Our net loss decreased $19 million to $21 million for the third quarter of 2000 and increased $20 million to $158 million for the First Three Quarters 2000 as a result of the items discussed above. Net Loss Available to Common Unitholders. The net loss available to common unitholders decreased $14 million to $27 million for the third quarter of 2000 and increased $35 million to $174 million for the First Three Quarters 2000. The net loss available to common unitholders reflects year-to-date distributions in 2000 and 1999 of $16 million and $1 million, respectively, on preferred limited partner units, which were issued during the second half of 1999. 1999 Compared to 1998 Revenues. Revenues decreased $2.2 billion, or 61%, to $1.4 billion for 1999. As discussed above, our revenues and operating profit are not comparable to prior years, primarily due to the leasing of our hotels as a result of the REIT conversion. However, gross hotel sales, which is used in the determination of rental income for 1999, increased $836 million or 24% over 1998 amounts as is shown in the following table. 34 The table below represents gross hotel sales generated by the properties for 1999 and 1998. Rental income for 1999 is computed based on gross hotel sales.
Year Ended ------------------------- December 31, December 31, 1999 1998 ------------ ------------ (in millions) Hotel Sales(1) Rooms............................................ $2,725 $2,220 Food and beverage................................ 1,258 984 Other............................................ 295 238 ------ ------ Total sales.................................... $4,278 $3,442 ====== ======
- -------- (1) 1999 gross hotel sales do not represent our reported revenues for 1999. Rather, rental income, which is computed based on gross hotel sales, represents our reported revenues for 1999. Lodging results for 1999 were primarily driven by the addition of 36 properties in 1998. The increase in hotel sales also reflects the growth in room revenues generated per available room or REVPAR. For comparable properties, REVPAR increased 4.1%, to $115.13 for 1999. On a comparable basis, average room rates increased approximately 3.8% for the year, while average occupancy increased less than one percentage point for the year. Interest income decreased $12 million or 24% as a result of a lower level of cash and marketable securities held during 1999 compared to 1998. The net gain on property transactions for 1999 primarily represents the $24 million recognized on the sale of five properties, including the sale of the Ritz-Carlton Boston and the El Paso Marriott during the fourth quarter of 1999. Expenses. As discussed above, hotel revenues and hotel operating costs are not comparable with the prior year. The lessee pays specified direct property- level costs including management fees and we receive a rent payment, which is generally calculated as a percentage of revenue, subject to a minimum level, net of certain property-level owner costs. All of these costs were our expenses in 1998. Property-level owner costs which are comparable, including depreciation, property taxes, property insurance, ground and equipment rent, increased 8% to $553 million for 1999 versus 1998, primarily reflecting the depreciation from 36 properties acquired during 1998. Minority Interest. Minority interest expense decreased $31 million to $21 million in 1999, primarily reflecting the impact of the consolidation of partnerships which occurred as part of the REIT conversion. Interest Expense. Interest expense increased 40% to $469 million in 1999, primarily due to the issuance of senior notes, establishment of a new credit facility and additional mortgage debt on properties acquired in 1998. In addition, in 1999, we recognized $38 million in interest expense related to the convertible debt obligation to Host REIT, which supports the dividends paid by Host REIT to holders of the Convertible Preferred Securities. In 1998, these dividends, totaling $37 million, were a separate component of expense. Corporate Expenses. Corporate expenses decreased $13 million to $37 million in 1999, resulting primarily from lower staffing levels after the Crestline spin-off, lower costs associated with reduced acquisition activity and lower costs related to various stock compensation plans. Loss on Litigation. In connection with a proposed settlement for litigation related to seven limited service partnerships discussed above we have recorded a one-time, non-recurring charge of $40 million. Income from Discontinued Operations. Income from discontinued operations represents the senior living communities business' results of operations for 1998. 35 Extraordinary Gain (Loss). In connection with the refinancing of the mortgage and renegotiation of the management agreement on the New York Marriott Marquis Hotel, we recognized an extraordinary gain of $14 million on the forgiveness of debt in the form of accrued incentive management fees. An extraordinary loss of $3 million representing the write-off of deferred financing fees occurred in July 1999 when the mortgage debt for eight properties was refinanced, including the New York Marriott Marquis Hotel. In connection with this refinancing, the interest rate swap agreements associated with some of the original debt were terminated and an extraordinary gain of $8 million was recognized. An extraordinary loss of $2 million representing the write-off of deferred financing fees occurred during the fourth quarter of 1999 when prepayments totaling $225 million were made to permanently reduce the outstanding balance of the term loan portion of the Bank Credit Facility to $125 million. During the fourth quarter of 1999, we extinguished approximately $53 million of the convertible debt obligation to Host REIT through the purchase of 1.1 million shares of Host REIT's Convertible Preferred Securities on the open market. We recorded an extraordinary gain of $14 million on this transaction, based on the discount at which we purchased the Convertible Preferred Securities. We also recorded an extraordinary loss of $2 million representing the write-off of deferred financing fees in connection with the early extinguishment. In connection with the purchase of the old senior notes, we recognized an extraordinary loss of $148 million in the third quarter of 1998, which represents the bond premium and consent payments totaling approximately $175 million and the write-off of deferred financing fees of approximately $52 million related to the old senior notes, net of taxes. Net Income. Our net income in 1999 was $285 million, compared to $47 million in 1998. Basic and diluted earnings per common unit were $.96 and $.93 for 1999, compared to $.22 and $.27 in 1998. Net Income Available to Common Unitholders. Our net income available to common unitholders in 1999 was $279 million, compared to $47 million in 1998, reflecting dividends of $6 million in 1999 on the Class A and Class B Preferred Units which were issued during 1999. 1998 Compared to 1997 Revenues. Revenues increased $0.7 billion, or 24%, to $3.6 billion for 1998 from $2.9 billion for 1997. Our revenue and operating profit were impacted by improved results for comparable full-service hotel properties, the addition of 18 full-service hotel properties during 1997 and 36 full-service hotel properties during 1998 and the gain on the sale of two hotel properties in 1998. Hotel sales, which are gross hotel sales, including room sales, food and beverage sales, and other ancillary sales such as telephone sales, increased $0.6 billion, or 23%, to over $3.4 billion in 1998, reflecting the REVPAR increases for comparable units and the addition of full-service hotels in 1997 and 1998. Improved results for our full-service hotels were driven by strong increases in REVPAR for our 78 comparable units of 7.3% to $112.39 for 1998. Results were further enhanced by approximately one percentage point increase in the house profit margin for comparable full-service properties. Average room rates increased nearly 6.9% for our comparable full-service hotels. As discussed in notes to the financial statements on page F-13, we spun off our senior living communities. We have accounted for these revenues and expenses as discontinued operations and have shown the amount, net of taxes, below income from continuing operations. Revenues generated from our 31 senior living communities totaled $241 million for 1998 compared to $111 million for 1997, as the assets were purchased in the third quarter of 1997. 36 Revenues were also impacted by the gains on the sales of two hotels. The New York East Side Marriott was sold for $191 million resulting in a pre-tax gain of approximately $40 million. The Napa Valley Marriott was sold for $21 million resulting in a pre-tax gain of approximately $10 million. Operating Costs and Expenses. Operating costs and expenses principally consisted of property-level operating costs, depreciation, management fees, real and personal property taxes, ground, building and equipment rent, insurance and certain other costs. Operating costs and expenses increased $0.5 billion to $2.9 billion, primarily representing increased hotel operating costs. Hotel operating costs increased $0.5 billion to $2.8 billion for 1998, primarily due to the addition of 54 full-service hotel properties during 1997 and 1998 and increased management fees and rentals tied to improved property results. As a percentage of hotel revenues, hotel operating costs and expenses decreased slightly to 82% for 1998 from 84% of revenues for 1997, due to the significant increases in REVPAR discussed above, offset by increases in management fees and property-level operating costs, including higher labor costs in certain markets. Minority Interest. Minority interest expense increased $21 million to $52 million for 1998, primarily reflecting the impact of the consolidation of affiliated partnerships and the acquisition of controlling interests in newly- formed partnerships during 1997 and 1998. Corporate Expenses. Corporate expenses increased $5 million to $50 million for 1998. As a percentage of revenues, corporate expenses decreased to 1.4% of revenues for 1998 from 1.6% in 1997, reflecting our efforts to control corporate expenses in spite of the substantial growth in revenues. REIT Conversion Expenses. REIT conversion expenses reflect the professional fees, consent fees, and other expenses associated with our conversion to a REIT and totaled $64 million for 1998. There were no REIT conversion expenses prior to 1998. Interest Expense. Interest expense increased 16% to $335 million in 1998, primarily due to additional debt assumed in connection with the 1997 and 1998 full-service hotel additions as well as the issuance of the senior notes and establishment of a new credit facility in 1998. Dividends on Convertible Preferred Securities. The dividends on the Convertible Preferred Securities reflect the dividends on the $550 million in 6.75% Convertible Preferred Securities issued by a subsidiary trust of Host Marriott in December 1996. Interest Income. Interest income decreased $1 million to $51 million for 1998, primarily reflecting the lower level of cash and marketable securities held in 1998 compared to 1997. Discontinued Operations. Income from discontinued operations of $6 million for 1998 represents the senior living communities' business results of operations for the entire year. The provision for loss on disposal of $5 million for 1998 includes organizational and formation costs related to Crestline. Income before Extraordinary Item. Income before extraordinary item for 1998 was $195 million, compared to $47 million for 1997. Extraordinary Gain (Loss). In connection with the purchase in August 1998 of our old senior notes, we recognized an extraordinary loss of $148 million, which represents the bond premium and consent payments totaling approximately $175 million and the write-off of deferred financing fees of approximately $52 million related to the old senior notes, net of taxes. In March 1997, we purchased 100% of the outstanding bonds secured by a first mortgage on the San Francisco Marriott Hotel. We purchased the bonds for $219 million, which was an $11 million discount to the face value of $230 million. In connection with the redemption and defeasance of the bonds, we recognized an extraordinary gain of $5 million, which represents the $11 million discount and the write-off of deferred financing fees, net of taxes. In December 1997, we refinanced the mortgage debt secured by Marriott's Orlando World Center. In connection with the refinancing, we recognized an extraordinary loss of $2 million, which represents payment of a prepayment penalty and the write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees, net of taxes. 37 Net Income. Net income for 1998 was $47 million compared to net income of $50 million for 1997. Basic earnings per common share was $.22 and $.23 for 1998 and 1997, respectively. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share was $.27 and $.23 for 1998 and 1997, respectively. Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash and cash equivalents were $277 million and $436 million at December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents for the First Three Quarters 2000 and 1999, were $188 million and $290 million, respectively. The decrease in cash is primarily a result of cash flows used for investing and financing activities, offset by cash provided by operating activities. Cash provided by continuing operations increased $48 million to $360 million during 1999. During 1998, cash from discontinued operations was $29 million; however, there was no cash activity related to discontinued operations in 1999. Cash from operations for the First Three Quarters 2000 and 1999, was $439 million and $256 million, respectively. Cash used in investing activities from continuing operations was $176 million and $655 million in 1999 and 1998, respectively. Cash used in investing activities includes capital expenditures of $361 million and $252 million and acquisitions of $29 million and $988 million in 1999 and 1998, respectively. Significant investing activities during 1999 include: . Costs associated with the newly constructed 717-room Tampa Waterside Marriott which opened in February 2000 with over 45,000 square feet of meeting space. The total cost of the project was over $104 million, of which $57 million was expended during 1999. . During 1999 we acquired the remaining minority interests in the two hotels whose operations we previously consolidated. The acquisition costs included the issuance of approximately 600,000 preferred OP Units valued at $8 million and payments of partnership indebtedness of approximately $6 million. . In May 1999, we completed a 210-room expansion of the Philadelphia Marriott for a total cost of approximately $37 million. The project consisted of a renovation and conversion of the historic railway terminal directly adjacent to the property. . Property and equipment balances include $243 million and $78 million for construction in progress as of December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively. The balance as of December 31, 1999 primarily relates to the Tampa Waterside Marriott, which was placed in service in February 2000, as well as properties in Orlando, Memphis, Naples, and various other expansion and development projects. The cash used for investing activities was partially offset by cash provided from the net sale of assets of $195 million in 1999, compared to $227 million in 1998. 1999 property dispositions consisted of the five hotels previously discussed. Cash used in investing activities from discontinued operations was $50 million in 1998; however, there was no cash investing activity related to discontinued operations in 1999. Cash used in investing activities was $307 million and $276 million for the First Three Quarters of 2000 and 1999, respectively. Cash used in investing activities through the third quarter includes capital expenditures of $271 million and $261 million for 2000 and 1999, respectively, mostly related to renewals and replacements on existing properties and new development projects. Significant investing activities during the First Three Quarters 2000 include: . In May 2000, we acquired a non-controlling partnership interest in the JWDC Limited Partnership, which owns the JW Marriott Hotel, a 772-room hotel located on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, DC. We previously held a small interest in the venture, and invested an additional $40 million in the form of a preferred equity contribution. 38 . In late June 2000, an expansion that included the additions of a 500-room tower and 15,000 square feet of meeting space at the Orlando World Center Marriott was placed in service at an approximate development cost of $88 million, of which $35 million was expended during the First Three Quarters 2000. . Property and equipment balances include $101 million and $243 million for construction in progress as of September 8, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively. The reduction in construction in progress is due to the completion of the Tampa Waterside Marriott, which was placed in service in February 2000 and the expansion at the Orlando World Center Marriott which was placed in service in late June 2000. The balance as of September 8, 2000 primarily relates to properties in Naples, Chicago, Harbor Beach, and various other expansion and development projects. In December 2000, a newly created joint venture formed by us (through non- controlled subsidiaries) and Marriott International acquired the partnership interests in Courtyard by Marriott Limited Partnership and Courtyard by Marriott II Limited Partnership for an aggregate payment of approximately $372 million plus interest and legal fees, of which we paid approximately $91 million. The joint venture acquired the partnerships by acquiring partnership units pursuant to a tender offer for such units followed by a merger of each of CBM I and CBM II with and into subsidiaries of the joint venture. The joint venture financed the acquisition with mezzanine indebtedness borrowed from Marriott International and with cash and other assets contributed by us (through our non-controlled subsidiaries) and Marriott International. We own a 50% interest in the joint venture. On November 13, 2000, we and Crestline announced the execution of a definitive agreement for the purchase and sale of the entities owning the leasehold interests with respect to 117 of our full-service hotels. Under the terms of the transaction, our subsidiary, which will elect to be treated as a TRS, will purchase certain Crestline subsidiaries, whose primary assets are the leasehold interests, for approximately $205 million, including recording a non- recurring loss of $120 million net of tax on the acquisition. Cash (used in) provided by financing activities from continuing operations was ($343) million and $265 million in 1999 and 1998, respectively. Cash used in financing activities for the First Three Quarters 2000 and 1999 was $221 million and $126 million, respectively. We believe cash payments will be required for the proposed acquisition of the Crestline lessee entities, the recognition of certain deferred tax items and the settlement of certain audits of prior years' tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service and also to fund specific development projects, all of which are discussed in this prospectus. We may also make cash payments for certain tax and litigation contingencies, and other matters that we hope to come to final resolution upon, by the end of 2000, as well as certain development projects. The source of future cash outflows are dependent on cash from operations and the amount of additional debt, if any, necessary for payment upon the final resolution of these matters. As of September 8, 2000, our total consolidated debt was approximately $5.6 billion. Our debt is comprised of $2.5 billion in unsecured senior notes, $2.3 billion in non-recourse mortgage debt and $150 million outstanding under the term loan and $26 million under the revolver portion of the $775 million bank credit facility and $492 million of convertible debt obligation to Host REIT. Based on our total capitalization of approximately $7.2 billion as of September 8, 2000 consisting of long term debt, convertible debt obligation to Host REIT, minority interests and Partner's equity, consolidated debt represents 77% of Host REIT's total capitalization, compared to 74% as of December 31, 1999. Since August 1998, we have issued or refinanced more than $3.9 billion of debt, as described below, in order to reduce the risk and volatility in our capital structure. The net effect of these transactions has been to virtually eliminate all of our near term maturities, with only $49 million of our principal due through 2001, reduce our average interest rate by approximately 70 basis points, and extend our average maturity by over one year. As a result, our average rate is now approximately 8.1%, and our average maturity is approximately seven years, with 95% of our debt having fixed interest rates. 39 Significant debt transactions include: . In October 2000, we issued $250 million of 9 1/4% Series F senior notes and used a portion of the proceeds to repay $26 million of debt outstanding under the revolver portion of the bank credit facility. We will exchange the Series F senior notes for the Series G senior notes pursuant to this exchange offer. . As of December 1, 2000, $150 million is outstanding under the term loan portion of the bank credit facility, while the available capacity under the revolving credit portion of the bank credit facility is $625 million. The bank credit facility was renegotiated in June 2000 for $775 million. The credit facility's term was extended for two additional years, through August 2003. Borrowings under the credit facility generally bear interest at the Eurodollar rate plus 2.25% (9.15% at September 8, 2000), and the interest rate and commitment fee on the unused portion of the facility fluctuate based on specified financial ratios. In connection with the previously discussed definitive agreement between Crestline and us for the purchase and sale of the entities owning the leasehold interests with respect to 117 of our full-service hotels for approximately $205 million, we anticipate funding a portion of the transaction through increased borrowings under the revolver portion of the bank credit facility of $40 million. . In February 2000, we refinanced the $80 million mortgage on Marriott's Harbor Beach Resort property in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The new mortgage is for $84 million, at a rate of 8.58%, and matures in March 2007. . We issued $300 million of 8 3/8% Series D senior notes due 2006 in February 1999 and used the proceeds to refinance, or purchase, debt which had been assumed through the merger of some partnerships or the purchase of hotel properties in connection with the REIT conversion in December 1998. We repaid a $40 million variable rate mortgage with a portion of the proceeds, and terminated the associated swap agreement, incurring a termination fee of approximately $1 million. In August 1999, the Series D senior notes were exchanged on a one-for-one basis for Series E senior notes, which are freely transferable by the holders. . In April 1999, a subsidiary of ours completed the refinancing of the $245 million mortgage on the New York Marriott Marquis Hotel, maturing in June 2000. In connection with the refinancing, we renegotiated the hotel's management agreement and recognized an extraordinary gain of $14 million on the forgiveness of accrued incentive management fees by the manager. This mortgage was subsequently refinanced as part of the $665 million financing agreement discussed below. . In June 1999, we refinanced the debt on the San Diego Marriott Hotel and Marina. The mortgage is for $195 million and a term of 10 years at a rate of 8.45%. In addition, we entered into a mortgage for the Philadelphia Marriott expansion in July 1999 for $23 million at an interest rate of approximately 8.6%, maturing in 2009. . In July 1999, we entered into a financing agreement pursuant to which we borrowed $665 million due 2009 at a fixed rate of 7.47%. Eight of our hotels serve as collateral for the agreement. In connection with this refinancing, an extraordinary loss of $3 million was recognized, representing the write-off of deferred financing fees. The proceeds from this financing were used to refinance existing mortgage indebtedness maturing at various times through 2000, including approximately $590 million of outstanding variable rate mortgage debt, and to terminate the related interest rate swap agreements, recognizing an extraordinary gain of approximately $8 million. As a result of the refinancing we no longer have any interest rate swap agreements outstanding. . In August 1999, we made a prepayment of $19 million to pay down in full the mezzanine mortgage on the Marriott Desert Springs Resort and Spa. In September 1999, we made a prepayment of $45 million to pay down in full the mortgage note on the Philadelphia Four Seasons Hotel. . In August 1998, we purchased substantially all of our then outstanding senior debt including: (i) $600 million of 9 1/2% senior notes due 2005, (ii) $350 million of 9% senior notes due 2007 and (iii) $600 million of 8 7/8% senior notes due 2007. We simultaneously issued an aggregate of $1.7 billion in new senior notes in two series: $500 million of 7 7/8% Series A senior notes due in 2005 and $1.2 billion of 40 7 7/8% Series B senior notes due in 2008. In December 1998, we issued $500 million of 8.45% Series C senior notes due in 2008 under the same indenture and with the same covenants as the Series A and Series B senior notes. . In addition to the capital resources provided by our debt financings, in December 1996, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Host Marriott issued 11 million shares of 6 3/4% Convertible Quarterly Income Preferred Securities, with a liquidation preference of $50 per share for a total liquidation amount of $550 million. The Convertible Preferred Securities represent an undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the trust and, pursuant to various agreements entered into in connection with the transaction, are fully, irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed by us. Proceeds from the issuance of the convertible preferred securities were invested in $567 million 6 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due December 2, 2026 issued by us, which are the trust's sole assets. Each of the convertible preferred securities is convertible at the option of the holder into shares of Host REIT common stock at the rate of 3.2537 shares per convertible preferred security equivalent to a conversion price of $15.367 per share of Host REIT common stock. This conversion ratio includes adjustments to reflect distributions made to Host REIT's common stockholders in connection with the REIT conversion. During 1999, 1998 and 1997, no shares were converted into common stock. Holders of the convertible preferred securities are entitled to receive preferential cumulative cash distributions at an annual rate of 6 3/4% accruing from the original issue date, commencing March 1, 1997, and payable quarterly in arrears thereafter. The distribution rate and the distribution and other payment dates for the Convertible Preferred Securities correspond to the interest rate and interest and other payment dates on the Convertible Subordinated Debentures. We may defer interest payments on the Convertible Subordinated Debentures for a period not to exceed 20 consecutive quarters. If interest payments on the Convertible Subordinated Debentures are deferred, so too are payments on the Convertible Preferred Securities. Under this circumstance, Host REIT would not be permitted to declare or pay any cash distributions with respect to Host REIT capital stock or debt securities that rank equal in right of payment with or junior to the Convertible Subordinated Debentures. Subject to certain restrictions, the Convertible Preferred Securities are redeemable at Host REIT's option upon any redemption of the Convertible Subordinated Debentures after December 2, 1999. Upon repayment at maturity or as a result of the acceleration of the Convertible Subordinated Debentures upon the occurrence of a default, the Convertible Preferred Securities are subject to mandatory redemption. During 1999 and 2000, Host REIT repurchased 1.5 million shares of the Convertible Preferred Securities as part of the stock repurchase plan discussed below which resulted in the retirement of $75 million of the Convertible Subordinated Debentures. Significant equity transactions include: . Distributions in 2000 reflect quarterly cash distributions of $0.21 per unit paid on January 17, April 14 and July 14. In addition, a third quarter cash distribution of $0.23 per unit was paid on October 16. . In September 1999, Host REIT announced its intention to repurchase, from time to time, up to 22 million shares of its common stock, our operating partnership units or an amount of the Convertible Preferred Securities which are convertible into a like number of shares of its common stock based upon the specified conversion ratio. As of December 31, 1999, we or Host REIT had purchased approximately 5.8 million shares of common stock, 1.1 million shares of the Convertible Preferred Securities and 0.3 million OP Units for an aggregate consideration of approximately $89 million. Any repurchases of common stock, OP Units, or Convertible Preferred Securities may be effected through open market or privately negotiated purchases, through a tender offer, or through one or more combinations of such methods. The repurchase program is on-going, and through September 8, 2000, approximately 16.2 million equivalent common units on a fully diluted basis were repurchased for $150 million. . Distributions in 1999 reflect the $73 million in payments for a special dividend declared in December 1998 as well as the $0.63 distribution per OP Unit paid as of December 31, 1999. In addition, on December 20, 1999, Host REIT's Board of Directors declared a regular cash distribution of $0.21 per OP Unit paid on January 17, 2000. 41 . In August 1999, Host REIT sold 4.16 million shares of 10% Class A preferred stock, and we issued an equivalent security, the Class A Preferred Limited Partner Units. Holders of the Class A preferred units are entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends at a rate of 10% per year of the $25.00 per unit liquidation preference. Dividends and corresponding distributions are payable quarterly in arrears beginning October 15, 1999. After August 3, 2004 Host REIT has the option to redeem the Class A preferred stock for $25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends to the date of redemption. The Class A preferred units rank senior to our common OP Units, and on a parity with our Class B preferred units. The Class A preferred unitholders generally have no voting rights. . In November 1999, Host REIT sold 4.0 million shares of 10% Class B preferred stock, and we issued an equivalent security, the Class B Preferred Limited Partner Units. Holders of the Class B preferred units are entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends at a rate of 10% per year of the $25.00 per unit liquidation preference. Dividends and corresponding distributions are payable quarterly in arrears beginning January 15, 2000. After April 29, 2005 Host REIT has the option to redeem the Class B preferred stock for $25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends to the date of redemption. The Class B preferred units rank senior to our OP Units, and on a parity with our Class A preferred units. The Class B preferred unitholders generally have no voting rights. . In December 1998, we completed the acquisition of, or controlling interests in, twelve world-class luxury hotels and certain other assets, including a mortgage note on a thirteenth hotel property from affiliates of the Blackstone Group. We paid approximately $920 million in cash and assumed debt and issued approximately 47.7 million OP Units, along with other consideration for a total value of approximately $1.55 billion. . In December 1998, subsidiaries of ours merged with eight public partnerships and acquired limited partnership interests in four private partnerships, which collectively own or control 28 properties, 15 of which were controlled by us and consolidated on our financial statements prior to December 1998. We issued approximately 25.8 million OP Units, 8.5 million of which were subsequently converted to Host REIT common stock, for interests in these partnerships valued at approximately $333 million. As a result of these transactions, we increased our ownership of most of the 28 properties to 100% while consolidating 13 additional hotels containing 4,445 rooms. . In connection with our conversion to a REIT, we formed two non-controlled subsidiaries, which own approximately $329 million in assets as of December 31, 1999. The ownership of most of these assets by us and Host REIT would have jeopardized its status as a REIT and our status as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. These assets primarily consist of partnership or other interests in hotels which are not leased, some furniture, fixtures and equipment used in the hotels. In exchange for our contribution of these assets to the non-controlled subsidiaries, we received nonvoting common stock representing 95% of the total economic interests of the non-controlled subsidiaries. The Host Marriott Statutory Employee/Charitable Trust, the beneficiaries of which are 1) a trust formed for the benefit of some of our employees and 2) the J. Willard Marriott Foundation, acquired all of the voting common stock representing the remaining 5% of the total economic interests, and reflecting 100% of the control of each non-controlled subsidiary. As a result, as of December 31, 1998, we did not control the non-controlled subsidiaries. Commencing January 1, 2001, the REIT Modernization Act would permit us to own all of the voting stock of the non-controlled subsidiaries without adversely affecting Host REIT so long as these subsidiaries were to elect to be taxable REIT subsidiaries. We have not yet determined whether to pursue a transaction with the Host Marriott Statutory Employee/Charitable Trust that would allow us to acquire control of the non-controlled subsidiaries. FFO and EBITDA We consider Funds from Operations ("FFO"), which represents FFO as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, and our EBITDA to be indicative measures of our operating performance due to the significance of our long-lived assets. FFO and EBITDA are also useful in measuring our ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures and expand our business. Furthermore, management 42 believes that FFO and EBITDA are meaningful disclosures that will help unitholders and the investment community to better understand our financial performance, including comparing our performance to other REITs. However, FFO and EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to amounts calculated by other companies. This information should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating profit, cash from operations, or any other operating or liquidity performance measure prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles. Cash expenditures for various long-term assets, interest expense (for EBITDA purposes only) and income taxes have been, and will be incurred which are not reflected in the EBITDA and FFO presentation. FFO increased $149 million, or 37%, to $551 million in 1999 over 1998, and Comparative Funds From Operations ("Comparative FFO"), which represents FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, plus contingent rent, available to common unitholders increased $39 million or 10% to $419 million for the First Three Quarters 2000 over the same period in 1999. The following is a reconciliation of income (loss) from continuing operations to FFO (in millions):

43 EBITDA increased $179 million, or 22%, to $1,007 million in 1999 from $828 million in 1998, and increased $55 million, or 8%, to $749 million for the First Three Quarters 2000 over the same period in 1999. Hotel EBITDA increased $162 million, or 19%, to $1,032 million in 1999 from $870 million in 1998, reflecting comparable hotel EBITDA growth, as well as incremental EBITDA from 1998 acquisitions offset by amounts representing hotel sales which are retained by Crestline. Hotel EBITDA for the First Three Quarters 2000 and 1999 was $390 million and $362 million, respectively, which does not include deferred rental income of $366 million and $339 million for the same periods, respectively. The following schedule presents our EBITDA as well as a reconciliation of EBITDA to income (loss) from continuing operations (in millions):

44 Our interest coverage, defined as EBITDA divided by cash interest expense, was 2.4 times, 2.7 times, and 2.5 times for 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively and 2.4 times and 2.2 times for the First Three Quarters 2000 and 1999, respectively. The ratio of earnings to fixed charges was 1.5 to 1.0, 1.5 to 1.0, and 1.3 to 1.0 in 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively and the deficiency of earnings to fixed charges was $145 million and $137 million for the First Three Quarters 2000 and 1999, respectively, which is primarily due to the deferral of contingent rent of $366 million and $339 million for the same periods, respectively. Partnership Activities. Prior to the REIT conversion, we had general and limited partner interests in numerous limited partnerships which owned 240 hotels including 20 full-service hotels, managed by Marriott International. As a result of the REIT conversion, the majority of our interests in the 220 limited-service hotels were transferred to the non-controlled subsidiaries. Additionally, as part of the REIT conversion, we acquired 13 of the 20 full- service hotels, two were sold, four were transferred to one of the non- controlled subsidiaries and one was retained by Host REIT. Leases. In addition to our full-service hotels, we also lease some property and equipment under noncancelable operating leases, including the long-term ground leases for some of our hotels, generally with multiple renewal options. The leases related to the 53 Courtyard properties and 18 Residence Inn properties sold during 1995 and 1996, are nonrecourse to us and contain provisions for the payment of contingent rentals based on a percentage of sales in excess of stipulated amounts. During the REIT conversion these properties were subleased to Crestline. We remain contingently liable on certain leases related to divested non-lodging properties. Such contingent liabilities aggregated $80 million at December 31, 1999. However, management considers the likelihood of any substantial funding related to these divested properties' leases to be remote. Inflation. Our hotel lodging properties have been impacted by inflation through its effect on increasing costs and on the managers' ability to increase room rates. Unlike other real estate, hotels have the ability to change room rates on a daily basis, so the impact of higher inflation generally can be passed on to customers. Our exposure to inflation is less now that substantially all of our hotels are leased to others. Almost all of our debt bears interest at fixed rates. This debt structure largely mitigates the impact of changes in the rate of inflation on future interest costs. We have some financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. The interest recognized on the debt obligations is based on various LIBOR terms, which ranged from 5.6% to 5.9% and 5.1% to 5.8% at December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively, and 5.8% to 6.9% for the First Three Quarters 2000. We repaid a $40 million variable rate mortgage with proceeds from the $300 million Series D senior notes offering during the first quarter of 1999. We terminated the associated swap agreement incurring a termination fee of approximately $1 million. In July 1999, we completed the refinancing of approximately $784 million of outstanding variable rate mortgage debt and terminated the related interest rate swap agreements. As a result of the refinancing we no longer have any interest rate swap agreements outstanding. As of September 8, 2000, our remaining variable debt consists of the credit facility and the mortgage debt on the Ritz-Carlton Amelia Island property which totaled $265 million, and has subsequently been reduced to $239 million with the $26 million paydown of the bank credit facility in October, 2000. Accounting Standards. In December 1999, we changed our method of accounting for contingent rental revenues to conform to the Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101. As a result, contingent rental revenue will be deferred on the balance sheet until certain revenue thresholds are realized. We have adopted SAB No. 101 with retroactive effect beginning January 1, 1999 to conform to the new presentation. SAB No. 101 has no impact on full-year 1999 revenues, net income, or earnings per unit because all rental revenues considered contingent under SAB No. 101 were earned as of December 31, 1999. For the First Three Quarters 2000 and 1999, $366 million and $339 million were deferred on the balance sheet. The change in accounting principle has no effect on prior years because percentage rent relates to rental income on our leases, which began in 1999. 45 In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including specified derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. The Statement requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative's gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the income statement and requires that a company must formally document, designate and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting. SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. We have not determined the full impact of SFAS No. 133. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The table below provides information as of December 1, 2000 about our financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. For debt obligations, the table presents principal cash flows and related weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates.
Expected Maturity Date ----------------------------------- Fair 2000 2001 2002 2003 Total Value ---- ---- ---- ---- ----- ----- Liabilities Long-term variable rate debt: The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island............ -- -- -- $89 $89 $89 Credit facility............................ -- -- -- 150 150 150 Average Interest Rate(1).................... 8.8% 8.8% 8.8% 8.8% 8.8%
- -------- (1) Interest rates are based on various LIBOR terms plus certain basis points which range from 200 to 225 basis points. The one-month LIBOR rate at September 8, 2000 was 6.6%. We have assumed for purposes of this presentation that the LIBOR rate remains unchanged. A 100 basis point increase in LIBOR would increase our interest rate expense by approximately $2 million per year. 46 BUSINESS AND PROPERTIES Host Marriott, L.P., or the "operating partnership," is a limited partnership owning full service hotel properties as part of an umbrella partnership real estate investment trust with Host Marriott Corporation, which we refer to as "Host REIT," as our sole general partner. We were formed as a Delaware limited partnership in 1998 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Host Marriott Corporation, a Delaware corporation, in connection with its efforts to reorganize its business operations to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. As part of this reorganization, which we refer to as the REIT conversion, and which is described below in more detail, on December 29, 1998, Host Marriott Corporation and various of its subsidiaries contributed to us substantially all of their assets and we assumed substantially all of their liabilities. As a result, we have succeeded to the hotel ownership business formerly conducted by Host Marriott Corporation. Throughout this prospectus, activities prior to December 29, 1998 represent the activities of our predecessor, Host Marriott Corporation and its subsidiaries. We and Host REIT were formed primarily to continue, in an UPREIT structure, the full service hotel ownership business formerly conducted by Host Marriott and its subsidiaries. Our primary business objective is to provide superior total returns to our unitholders through a combination of distributions and appreciation in unit price. In addition, we endeavor to: . achieve long-term sustainable growth in FFO (i.e., net income computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, excluding gains or losses from sales of properties, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures), and cash flow; . increase asset values by selectively improving and expanding our hotels; . acquire additional existing and newly developed upscale and luxury full service hotels in targeted markets, primarily focusing on downtown hotels in core business districts in major metropolitan markets and select airport and resort/convention locations; . develop and construct upscale and luxury full service hotels; and . opportunistically pursue other real estate investments. As of September 8, 2000, we own 122 hotels, containing approximately 58,000 rooms, located throughout the United States and Canada. The hotels are generally operated under the Marriott, Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons, Swissotel, Hilton and Hyatt brand names. These brand names are among the most respected and widely recognized brand names in the lodging industry. The hotels are currently leased by us and our subsidiaries to lessees, including Crestline and its subsidiaries, and are managed on behalf of the lessees by subsidiaries of Marriott International and other companies. As previously discussed, we have executed a definitive agreement with Crestline for the purchase and sale of the entities owning the leasehold interests with respect to 117 of our full-service hotels for approximately $205 million in cash. If this transaction is consummated, our wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary will be the lessee. Host REIT is our sole general partner and manages all aspects of our business. This includes decisions with respect to: . sales and purchases of hotels; . the financing of the hotels; . the leasing of the hotels; and . capital expenditures for the hotels subject to the terms of the leases and the management agreements. Host REIT, our sole general partner, is managed by a Board of Directors and has no employees who are not also our employees. Under current federal income tax law, REITs are restricted in their ability to derive revenues directly from the operations of hotels. Therefore we lease virtually all of our hotels to the lessees. See "--The Leases" 47 below. The lessees pay rent to us and our subsidiaries generally equal to the greater of a specified minimum rent or rent based on specified percentages of different categories of aggregate sales at the relevant hotels, to the extent such "percentage rent" would exceed the minimum rent. As we discuss further below, under the REIT Modernization Act, effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2000, (i) we will be able to lease our hotels to a subsidiary that is a taxable corporation that elects to be treated as a "taxable REIT subsidiary" rather than to a third party such as Crestline and (ii) we will be permitted to own all of the voting stock of such taxable REIT subsidiary. See "--The REIT Conversion" below. The lessees operate the hotels pursuant to management agreements with the managers. Each of the management agreements provides for certain base and incentive management fees, plus reimbursement of specific costs, as further described below. See "--The Management Agreements." Such fees and cost reimbursements are the obligation of the lessees and not ours or our subsidiaries' (although the obligation to pay such fees could adversely affect the ability of the lessees to pay the required rent to us or our subsidiaries). The leases, through the sales percentage rent provisions, are designed to allow us to participate in any growth above specified levels in room sales at the hotels, which management expects can be achieved through increases in room rates and occupancy levels. Although the economic trends affecting the hotel industry will be the major factor in generating growth in lease revenues, the abilities of the lessees and the managers will also have a material impact on future sales growth. In addition to external growth generated by new acquisitions, we intend to carefully and periodically review our portfolio to identify opportunities to selectively enhance existing assets to improve operating performance through major capital improvements. Our leases and those of our subsidiaries do provide us with the right to approve and finance major capital improvements. Our primary focus is on the acquisition of upscale and luxury full service hotel lodging properties. Since the beginning of 1994 through the date hereof, we have acquired, directly and through our respective subsidiaries, 106 full service hotels containing more than 48,000 rooms for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $6.2 billion. Based upon data provided by Smith Travel Research, we believe that our full service hotels outperform the industry's average occupancy rate by a significant margin and averaged 77.7% occupancy for both fiscal years 1999 and 1998 compared to a 69.1% and 69.4% average occupancy for our competitive set for 1999 and 1998, respectively and 79.0% and 79.2% occupancy compared to 72.1% and % occupancy for our competitive set for the First Three Quarters 2000 and 1999, respectively. "Our competitive set" refers to hotels in the upscale and luxury full service segment of the lodging industry, the segment which is most representative of our full service hotels, and consists of Crowne Plaza; Doubletree; Hyatt; Hilton; Radisson; Renaissance; Sheraton; Swissotel; Westin and Wyndham. The relatively high occupancy rates of our hotels, along with increased demand for full-service hotel rooms, have allowed the managers of our hotels to increase average daily room rates by selectively raising room rates and by minimizing, in specified cases, discounted group business, replacing it with higher-rate group and transient business. As a result, on a comparable basis REVPAR for our full-service properties increased approximately 4.1% for full- year 1999, and 6.6% for the First Three Quarters 2000. Business Strategy Our primary business objective is to provide superior total returns to our unitholders through a combination of distributions and appreciation in unit price. In order to achieve this objective and, therefore, enhance our equity value, we employ the following strategies: . Acquire existing upscale and luxury full-service hotels as market conditions permit, including Marriott and Ritz-Carlton hotels and other hotels operated by leading management companies such as Four Seasons and Hyatt which satisfy our investment criteria, which acquisitions may be completed through various means including by entering into joint ventures when we believe our return on investment will be maximized by doing so; 48 . Develop selected new upscale and luxury full-service hotels, including Marriott and Ritz-Carlton hotels and other hotels operated by leading management companies such as Four Seasons and Hyatt which satisfy our investment criteria and employ transaction structures which mitigate our risk; . Participate in the sales growth for each of our hotels through leases which provide for the payment of rent based upon the lessees' gross hotel sales in excess of specified thresholds; and . Enhance existing hotel operations by completing selective capital improvements that are designed to increase gross hotel sales or improve operations. Although competition for acquisitions has remained steady and the availability of suitable acquisition candidates has been limited recently due to market conditions, we believe that the upscale and luxury full-service segments of the market will continue to offer opportunities over time to acquire assets at attractive multiples of cash flow and at discounts to replacement value, including underperforming hotels which can be improved by conversion to the Marriott, Ritz-Carlton, or other high quality brands. Since the beginning of fiscal year 1994, we have acquired 14 hotels which we have converted to the Marriott brand. The vast majority of our hotel properties are operated under the Marriott and Ritz-Carlton brands. In general, based upon REVPAR data provided by Smith Travel Research, we believe that our portfolio has consistently outperformed the industry. Our comparable properties, consisting of 84 hotels, owned directly or indirectly by us for the entire 1999 and 1998 fiscal years, respectively, excluding two properties where significant expansion at the hotels substantially affected operations during the two fiscal years, generated a 31% and 29% REVPAR premium over our competitive set for fiscal years 1999 and 1998, respectively. Our comparable properties for 2000 consisting of 114 hotels, owned directly or indirectly by us for the entire First Three Quarters 2000 and 1999, respectively, excluding two properties where significant expansion at the hotels affected operations and five properties where reported results were affected by a change in reporting period, generated a 30% and 32% REVPAR premium over our competitive set for the First Three Quarters 2000 and 1999, respectively. On November 13, 2000, we executed a definitive agreement with Crestline for the purchase and sale of the entities owning the leasehold interests with respect to 117 of our full-service hotels. Under the terms of the transaction, our newly created wholly-owned subsidiary, which will elect to be treated as a TRS, will purchase certain Crestline subsidiaries, whose primary assets are the leasehold interests, for approximately $205 million in cash, including recording a non-recurring loss of $120 million net of tax on the acquisition. The consummation of the transaction, which is permitted as a result of the passage of the REIT Modernization Act, will simplify our corporate structure, enable us to better control our portfolio of hotels, and is expected to be accretive to future earnings. In December 2000, a newly created joint venture formed by us (through non- controlled subsidiaries) and Marriott International acquired the partnership interests in Courtyard by Marriott Limited Partnership and Courtyard by Marriott II Limited Partnership for an aggregate payment of approximately $372 million plus interest and legal fees, of which we paid approximately $91 million. The joint venture financed the acquisition with mezzanine indebtedness borrowed from Marriott International and with cash and other assets contributed by us (through our non-controlled subsidiaries) and Marriott International. We own a 50% non-controlling interest in the joint venture. We have increased our pool of potential acquisition candidates by considering acquisitions of select non-Marriott and non-Ritz-Carlton hotels that offer long-term growth potential and are consistent with the overall quality of our current portfolio. We will focus on upscale and luxury full service properties in difficult to duplicate locations with high costs to prospective competitors, such as hotels located in downtown, airport and resort/convention locations, which are operated by quality managers. For example, in December 1998, we consummated the Blackstone acquisition for approximately $1.55 billion in a combination of cash, OP Units, assumed debt and other consideration. The Blackstone acquisition consisted of two Ritz- Carlton, two Four Seasons, one Grand Hyatt, three Hyatt Regency and four Swissotel properties. Currently, we also consider opportunities to improve property operations by converting certain existing or acquired hotels to these and other quality national brands. For example, we converted the resort property in Singer Island, Florida to the Hilton brand in April 2000. 49 We believe we are well qualified to pursue our acquisition and development strategy. Management has extensive experience in acquiring and financing lodging properties and believes its industry knowledge, relationships and access to market information provide a competitive advantage with respect to identifying, evaluating and acquiring hotel assets. In September 1999, the board of directors of Host REIT approved the repurchase, from time to time on the open market and/or in privately negotiated transactions, of up to 22 million of the outstanding shares of Host Marriott Corporation common stock, OP Units or Convertible Preferred Securities convertible into a like number of shares of common stock. The Board of Directors of Host REIT will continue to look at strategic acquisitions as well as evaluate Host REIT's stock repurchase program based on changes in market conditions and Host REIT's stock price. The stock repurchases may be financed through cash from operations, assets sales, and other financing activities, such as the issuances of the Class A and Class B Preferred Stock made during 1999. Such repurchases will be made at management's discretion, subject to market conditions and may be suspended at any time at our discretion. Through September 8, 2000, we spent, in the aggregate, approximately $150 million to repurchase 10.7 million shares of common stock, and 1.5 million shares of the Convertible Preferred Securities and 0.6 million operating partnership units for a total reduction of 16.2 million equivalent common shares on a fully diluted basis. The REIT Conversion During 1998, Host Marriott and its subsidiaries and affiliates consummated a series of transactions intended to enable Host REIT to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. As a result of these transactions, the hotels formerly owned by Host Marriott and its subsidiaries and other affiliates are now owned by us and our subsidiaries; we and our subsidiaries lease substantially all of these hotels to Crestline, and Marriott International and other hotel operators conduct the day-to-day management of the hotels pursuant to management agreements with Crestline. Host REIT has elected to be treated as a REIT for federal income tax purposes effective January 1, 1999. The important transactions comprising the REIT conversion are summarized below. During 1998, Host Marriott reorganized its hotels and certain other assets so that they were owned by us and our subsidiaries. Host Marriott and its subsidiaries received a number of OP Units equal to the number of then outstanding shares of Host Marriott common stock, and we and our subsidiaries assumed substantially all of the liabilities of Host Marriott and its subsidiaries. As a result of this reorganization and the related transactions described below, Host REIT is our sole general partner and, as of September 8, 2000, held approximately 78% of our outstanding common OP Units. We and our subsidiaries conduct our hotel ownership business. OP Units owned by holders other than Host REIT are redeemable at the option of the holder, generally commencing one year after the issuance of their OP Units. Upon redemption of an OP Unit, the holder would receive from us cash in an amount equal to the market value of one share of Host REIT common stock. However, in lieu of a cash redemption by us, Host REIT has the right to acquire any OP Unit offered for redemption directly from the holder thereof in exchange for either one share of Host REIT common stock or cash in an amount equal to the market value of one share of Host REIT common stock. In connection with the REIT conversion, two taxable corporations were formed in which we own approximately 95% of the economic interest but none of the voting interest. We refer to these two subsidiaries as the non-controlled subsidiaries. The non-controlled subsidiaries hold various assets and related liabilities which were originally contributed by Host Marriott and its subsidiaries to us, but whose direct ownership by Host REIT, us or our other subsidiaries generally would jeopardize Host REIT's status as a REIT and our status as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. These assets primarily consist of interests in partnerships or other interests in three hotels which are not leased, and specified furniture, fixtures and equipment--also known as FF&E--used in the hotels. We have no control over the operation or management of the hotels or other assets owned by the non-controlled subsidiaries. The Host Marriott Statutory Employee/Charitable Trust acquired all of the voting common stock of each non-controlled subsidiary, 50 representing, in each case, the remaining approximately 5% of the total economic interests in each non-controlled subsidiary. The beneficiaries of the Employee/Charitable Trust are a trust formed for the benefit of specified employees of ours and the J. Willard and Alice S. Marriott Foundation. Commencing January 1, 2001, the REIT Modernization Act would permit us to own all of the voting stock of the non-controlled subsidiaries without adversely affecting Host REIT so long as these subsidiaries were to elect to be taxable REIT subsidiaries. Under current federal income tax law, REITs are restricted in their ability to derive revenues from the operation of hotels. However, they can derive rental income by leasing hotels. Therefore, we and our subsidiaries lease virtually all of our hotel properties to subsidiaries of Crestline. We have executed a definitive agreement with Crestline for the purchase and sale of the entities owning the leasehold interests with respect to 117 of our full-service hotels for approximately $205 million. If this transaction is consummated, our wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary will be the lessee. Currently, the lessees pay rent to us and our subsidiaries generally equal to the greater of (1) a specified minimum rent or (2) rent based on specified percentages of different categories of aggregate sales at the relevant hotels. Generally, there is a separate lessee for each hotel property or there is a separate lessee for each group of hotel properties that has separate mortgage financing or has owners in addition to us and our wholly owned subsidiaries. The lessees for all but four of our hotels are wholly owned subsidiaries of Crestline, formed as limited liability companies, each of whose purpose is limited to acting as lessee under an applicable lease. The limited liability company agreement for each Crestline lessee provides that Crestline will have full control over the management of the business of the lessee, except with respect to certain decisions for which the consent of other members or the hotel manager will be required. In addition, although the Crestline lessees are wholly owned subsidiaries of Crestline, Marriott International or its appropriate subsidiary has a non- economic voting interest on specific matters pertaining to hotels which are managed by Marriott International or its subsidiaries. The leases, through the sales percentage rent provisions, are designed to allow us and our subsidiaries to participate in any growth above specified levels in room sales at the hotels, which management expects can be achieved through increases in room rates and occupancy levels. Although the economic trends affecting the hotel industry will be the major factor in generating growth in lease revenues, the abilities of the lessees and the managers will also have a material impact on future sales growth. Our leases have remaining terms ranging from two to ten years, subject to earlier termination upon the occurrence of contingencies that are specified in the leases. We have entered into a definitive agreement with Crestline to purchase the entities which own the leasehold interests of 117 of our full-service hotels on or about January 1, 2000 as a result of certain changes in tax law included in the REIT Modernization Act (discussed below), for $205 million. In December 1999, the REIT Modernization Act was passed, with most provisions effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2000. The REIT Modernization Act significantly amends the REIT laws applicable to us. Among the changes, the REIT Modernization Act allows a REIT to own up to 100% of the voting stock of one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries subject to limitations on the value of those subsidiaries. The rents received from such subsidiaries would not be disqualified from being "rents from real property" by reason of our ownership interest in the subsidiary so long as the property is operated on behalf of the taxable REIT subsidiary by an "eligible independent contractor." This will enable us to lease our hotels to wholly owned taxable subsidiaries if the hotels are operated and managed on behalf of such subsidiaries by an independent third party. Under the REIT Modernization Act, taxable REIT subsidiaries will be subject to federal income tax. The REIT Modernization Act also changes the asset limitations applicable to REITs. Under the law that is currently in effect, a REIT must satisfy three tests relating to the nature of its assets: . First, at least 75% of its total assets must be represented by real estate assets. . Second, no more than 25% of its total assets may be represented by securities other than those in the 75% asset class. . Third, within the 25% assets class, the value of any one issuer's securities may not exceed 5% of its total assets and a REIT may not own more than 10% of any one issuer's outstanding voting securities. 51 The third test will be modified in two respects by the REIT Modernization Act: . The 10% voting securities test will be expanded so that we will be prohibited from owning more than 10% of the value of the outstanding securities of any one issuer. . We will be permitted to own securities of a subsidiary that exceed the 5% value test and the new 10% vote or value test if the subsidiary elects to be a taxable REIT subsidiary. Under the REIT Modernization Act, beginning January 1, 2001, (i) we will be able to lease our hotels to a subsidiary that is a taxable corporation and that elects to be treated as a "taxable REIT subsidiary" rather than to a third party such as Crestline and (ii) we will be permitted to own all of the voting stock of such taxable REIT subsidiary. In addition, as a result of passage of the REIT Modernization Act and under the terms of our leases with Crestline subsidiaries, we have the right to purchase the leases from Crestline on or after January 1, 2001, for a price equal to the fair rental value of the lessee's interest in the leases over their remaining terms based on an agreed upon formula, excluding any option periods. On November 13, Host LP and Crestline announced the execution of a definitive agreement for the purchase and sale of the entities owning the leasehold interests with respect to 117 full-service hotel properties owned by Host LP. Under the terms of the transaction, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Host LP, which will elect to be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary ("TRS"), will purchase the Crestline subsidiaries, whose primary assets are the leasehold interests, for approximately $205 million, including recording a non-recurring loss of $120 million net of tax on the acquisition. If the transaction is consummated, we will lease these hotels to a newly created subsidiary of ours that qualifies as a taxable REIT subsidiary. In connection therewith, we will recognize the revenues and expenses generated by the hotels subject to the leases and we will no longer recognize rental income from these leases. Consummation of the transaction with Crestline is subject to various conditions, including the receipt of any required third party consents. There can be no assurance that the purchase will be consummated. We are also considering pursuing a transaction with Host Marriott Statutory Employee/Charitable Trust that would allow us to acquire control of the non-controlled subsidiaries (which we expect will elect to be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary) although we have not reached any such agreement and cannot assure you that any such agreement will be reached. Finally, under the REIT Modernization Act, beginning January 1, 2001, the aggregate fair market values of real and personal property will be used for purposes of determining rents from real property. Currently, the aggregate tax bases of both real and personal property are used for this purpose. Recent Acquisitions, Developments and Dispositions The pace of acquisitions changed significantly in 2000 and 1999 from the previous years. After three years of acquisitions numbering 36, 17, and 24 full service hotels for 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively, our 1999 acquisitions were limited to completing the acquisition of minority interests in two hotels where we had previously acquired the controlling interests for a total consideration of approximately $14 million. During 2000, we focused our energies on increasing the value of our current portfolio with selective investments and expansions and new developments. We plan to selectively develop new upscale and luxury full-service hotels in major urban markets and convention/resort locations with strong growth prospects, unique or difficult to duplicate sites, high costs for prospective competitors for other new hotels and limited new supply. We intend to target only development projects that show promise of providing financial returns that represent a premium to acquisitions. The largest of these projects was the construction of a 717-room full service hotel adjacent to the convention center in downtown Tampa, Florida. The hotel, which was completed and opened for business on February 19, 2000, includes 45,000 square feet of meeting space, three restaurants and a 30-slip marina as well as many other amenities. The total development cost of the property was approximately $104 million, excluding a $16 million tax subsidy provided by the City of Tampa. 52 In December 2000, a newly created joint venture formed by us (through non- controlled subsidiaries) and Marriott International acquired the partnership interests in Courtyard by Marriott Limited Partnership and Courtyard by Marriott II Limited Partnership for an aggregate payment of approximately $372 million plus interest and legal fees, of which we paid approximately $91 million. The joint venture financed the acquisition with mezzanine indebtedness borrowed from Marriott International and with cash and other assets contributed by us (through our non-controlled subsidiaries) and Marriott International. We own a 50% interest in the joint venture. In May 1999 we completed a 210-room expansion of the Philadelphia Marriott, through a renovation of the historic railroad headhouse building adjacent to the property. The project was completed for approximately $37 million including a $7 million tax financing provided by the City of Philadelphia. At the Orlando Marriott, the addition of a 500-room tower and 15,000 square feet of meeting space was completed in June 2000 at an approximate development cost of $88 million, making it the single largest hotel in the Marriott system at 2000 rooms. We also have renovated the golf course, added a multi-level parking deck, and upgraded and expanded several restaurants. Also under development is a 50,000 square-foot world-class spa at the Ritz- Carlton, Naples. This project is anticipated to be completed late in 2000. The development cost for this expansion is estimated to be approximately $23 million. Two longer-term development projects are currently active with anticipated completion in 2001. These are the construction of a 295-room Ritz-Carlton, Naples, Golf Lodge and the 200-room expansion of the Memphis Marriott. The construction of the Naples Golf Lodge near the 463-room Ritz-Carlton, Naples, as well as the construction of the new spa facility, will offer travelers an unmatched resort experience. The Memphis Marriott, which is located adjacent to a newly-renovated convention center, was converted to the Marriott brand upon acquisition in 1998 to capitalize on Marriott's brand name recognition. The combined development costs for these projects is estimated to be approximately $90 million. In addition to investments in partnerships in which we already held minority interests, we have been successful in adding properties to our portfolio through partnership arrangements with either the seller of the property or the incoming managers (typically Marriott International or a Marriott franchisee). For example, we acquired a non-controlling partnership interest in the 772-room Washington, D.C., J.W. Marriott Hotel in May 2000 and have the option to purchase an additional 44% limited partnership interest between December 15, 2001 and September 30, 2002 and between January 15, 2003 and June 30, 2003. We have the financial flexibility and, due to our existing private partnership investment portfolio, the administrative infrastructure in place to accommodate such arrangements. We view this ability as a competitive advantage and expect to enter into similar arrangements to acquire additional properties in the future. Through subsidiaries we currently own four Canadian properties, containing 1,636 rooms. We intend to continue to evaluate other attractive acquisition opportunities in Canada. In addition, the overbuilding and economic stress experienced in some European and Pacific Rim countries may eventually lead to additional international acquisition opportunities. We will acquire international properties only when we believe such acquisitions achieve satisfactory returns after adjustments for currency and country risks. We will also consider from time to time selling hotels that do not fit our long-term strategy, or otherwise meet our ongoing investment criteria, including for example, hotels in some suburban locations, hotels that require significant capital improvement and other underperforming assets. The net proceeds from these sales will be reinvested in upscale and luxury hotels more consistent with our strategy or otherwise applied in a 53 manner consistent with our investment strategy (which may include the purchase of securities) at the time of sale. The following table summarizes our 1999 dispositions (in millions, except number of rooms):

Hotel Lodging Industry The lodging industry posted moderate gains in 1999 as higher average daily rates drove strong increases in REVPAR, which measures daily room revenues generated on a per room basis. This does not include food and beverage or other ancillary revenues generated by the property. REVPAR represents the product of the average daily room rate charged and the average daily occupancy achieved. Previously, the lodging industry benefited from a favorable supply/demand imbalance, driven in part by low construction levels combined with high gross domestic product, or GDP, growth. However, during 1999 and 1998 supply moderately outpaced demand, causing slight declines in occupancy rates in the upscale and luxury full-service segments in which we operate. According to Smith Travel Research, supply in our brands' competitive set increased 1.6% for the year ended December 31, 1999 and increased 2.0% for the First Three Quarters 2000 while demand in our competitive set increased 1.1% for the year ended December 31, 1999 and increased 4.6% for the First Three Quarters 2000. At the same time, occupancy declined 0.4 percentage points in our competitive set for the year ended December 31, 1999 and increased 3.2 percentage points for The First Three Quarters 2000. These declines in occupancy, however, were more than offset by increases in average daily rates which generated higher REVPAR. According to Smith Travel Research, for the year ended December 31, 1999, average daily rate and REVPAR for our competitive set increased 3.0% and 2.5%, respectively, versus the same period one year ago. For the First Three Quarters 2000, average daily rate and REVPAR increased 5.2% and 7.8%, respectively, versus the same period one year ago. The current amount of excess supply in the upper-upscale and luxury portions of the full-service segment of the lodging industry is relatively moderate and much less severe than that experienced in the lodging industry in other occupancy downturns, in part because of the greater financial discipline and lending practices imposed by financial institutions and public markets today relative to those during the late 1980's. Our hotels have outperformed both the industry as a whole and the upper- upscale and luxury full service segment. The attractive locations of our hotels, the limited availability of new building sites for new construction of competing full service hotels, and the lack of availability of financing for new full service hotels has allowed us to maintain REVPAR and average daily rate premiums over our competitors in these service segments. For our comparable hotels, as previously defined, average daily rates increased 3.8% in 1999 and 6.3% for the First Three Quarters 2000. The increase in average daily rate helped generate a strong increase in comparable hotel REVPAR of 4.1% and 6.6% for the same periods, respectively. Furthermore, because our lodging operations have a high fixed-cost component, increases in REVPAR generally yield greater percentage increases in our consolidated earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and other non-cash items or EBITDA. While we currently do not benefit directly from increases in EBITDA levels at our properties due to the structure of our leases, we should benefit from such increases due to expected higher market valuations of our properties based on such elevated EBITDA levels. If we were to acquire the Crestline leases with respect to our hotels, any increases in EBITDA levels at our properties (which formerly were leased to Crestline) would have a direct, positive effect on our consolidated EBITDA. We currently believe that demand is exceeding supply in the sub-markets in which we operate, however, we expect that this trend will reverse in 2001. The relative balance between supply and demand growth may be influenced by a number of factors including growth of the economy, interest rates, unique local considerations 54 and the relatively long lead time to develop urban, convention and resort hotels. We believe that growth in room supply in upscale and luxury full- service sub-markets in which we operate continue to exceed room demand growth through the year 2001. There can be no assurance that growth in supply will moderate or that REVPAR and EBITDA will continue to improve. Hotel Lodging Properties Our lodging portfolio, as of September 8, 2000, consists of 122 upscale and luxury full-service hotels containing approximately 58,000 rooms. Our hotel lodging properties represent quality upscale and luxury assets in the full service segment. All but thirteen of our hotel properties are currently operated under the Marriott or Ritz-Carlton brand names. Our hotels average approximately 478 rooms. Thirteen of our hotels have more than 750 rooms. Hotel facilities typically include meeting and banquet facilities, a variety of restaurants and lounges, swimming pools, gift shops and parking facilities. Our hotels primarily serve business and pleasure travelers and group meetings at locations in downtown, airport, resort convention and suburban locations throughout the United States. The properties are generally well situated in locations where there are significant barriers to entry by competitors including downtown areas of major metropolitan cities, at airports and resort/convention locations where there are limited or no development sites. The average age of the properties is 16 years, although many of the properties have had more recent substantial renovations or major additions. To maintain the overall quality of our lodging properties, each property undergoes refurbishments and capital improvements on a regularly scheduled basis. Typically, refurbishing has been provided at intervals of five years, based on an annual review of the condition of each property. For fiscal years 1999, 1998 and 1997 we spent $197 million, $165 million and $129 million, respectively, on capital improvements to existing properties. As a result of these expenditures, we expect to maintain high quality rooms at our properties. In addition to acquiring and maintaining superior assets, a key part of our strategy is to have the hotels managed by leading management companies. As of September 8, 2000, 100 of our 122 hotel properties were managed by subsidiaries of Marriott International as Marriott or Ritz-Carlton brand hotels and an additional nine hotels are part of Marriott International's full-service hotel system through franchise agreements. The remaining hotels are managed by leading management companies including Four Seasons, Hilton, Hyatt, and Swissotel. Our properties have reported annual increases in REVPAR since 1993. Based upon data provided by Smith Travel Research, our comparable properties, as previously defined, have more than a nine and ten percentage point occupancy premium and an approximate 31% and 30% REVPAR premium over the competitive set for fiscal year 1999 and First Three Quarters 2000, respectively. Comparable properties refer to properties that we owned for the same period of time in each of the periods covered as adjusted to exclude properties where significant disruptions to operations occurred due to expansions to the properties.

(1) This property was converted to the Marriott brand after acquisition. (2) The land on which this hotel is built is leased under one or more long-term lease agreements. (3) This property is not operated under the Marriott brand and is not managed by Marriott International. (4) This property is operated as a Marriott franchised property. (5) This property is leased to Marriott International. (6) This property is not wholly owned by us. (7) This property is not leased to Crestline. Investments in Affiliated Partnerships We and certain of our subsidiaries also manage our partnership investments and conduct the partnership services business. As previously discussed, in connection with the REIT conversion, the non-controlled subsidiaries were formed to hold various assets. The direct ownership of those assets by us or Host REIT could jeopardize Host REIT's status as a REIT or our treatment as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. Substantially all our general and limited partner interests in partnerships owning 209 limited-service hotels were held by the non-controlled subsidiaries at year end. There were also 20 full-service hotels in which we had general and limited partner interests, 13 of which have been acquired by us, two were sold, four were transferred to our non-controlled subsidiary and one was retained. The managing general partner of the partnership is responsible for the day- to-day management of the partnership operations, which generally includes payment of partnership obligations from partnership funds, preparation of financial reports and tax returns and communications with lenders, limited partners and regulatory bodies. The general partner is reimbursed for the cost of providing these services subject to limitations in certain cases. 58 The partnership hotels are currently operated under management agreements with Marriott International or its subsidiaries. The general partner oversees and monitors Marriott International and its subsidiaries' performance pursuant to these agreements. Cash distributions provided from these partnerships including distributions related to partnerships sold, transferred or acquired in 1998 are tied to the overall performance of the underlying properties and the overall level of debt. All debt of these partnerships is nonrecourse to us and our subsidiaries, except that we are contingently liable under various guarantees of debt obligations of certain of the limited-service partnerships. Marketing As of September 8, 2000, 100 of our 122 hotel properties were managed by subsidiaries of Marriott International as Marriott or Ritz-Carlton brand hotels and an additional nine hotels are part of Marriott International's full-service hotel system through franchise agreements. The remaining hotels are managed primarily by Hyatt, Four Seasons and Swissotel. In addition, we converted the resort property in Singer Island, Florida to the Hilton brand in April 2000. We believe that our properties will continue to enjoy competitive advantages arising from their participation in the Marriott, Ritz-Carlton, Hyatt, Four Seasons, Swissotel, and Hilton hotel systems. The national marketing programs and reservation systems of each of these managers, as well as the advantages of strong customer preference for these upper-upscale and luxury brands should also help these properties to maintain or increase their premium over competitors in both occupancy and room rates. Repeat guest business is enhanced by guest rewards programs offered by Marriott, Hyatt, Swissotel, and Hilton. For example, the Marriott Rewards program membership includes more than 7.5 million members. Each of the managers maintains national reservation systems that provide reservation agents with complete descriptions of the rooms available and up- to-date rate information from the properties. Marriott's reservation system also features connectivity to airline reservation systems, providing travel agents with access to available rooms inventory for all Marriott and Ritz- Carlton lodging properties. In addition, software at Marriott's centralized reservations centers enables agents to immediately identify the nearest Marriott or Ritz-Carlton brand property with available rooms when a caller's first choice is fully occupied. Our website (www.hostmarriott.com) currently permits users to connect to the Marriott, Ritz-Carlton, Hyatt, Hilton, Four Seasons, and Swissotel reservation systems to reserve rooms in our hotels. Competition Our hotels compete with several other major lodging brands in each segment in which they operate. Competition in the industry is based primarily on the level of service, quality of accommodations, convenienceof locations and room rates. Although the competitive position of each of our hotel properties differs from market to market, we believe that our properties compare favorably to their competitive set in the markets in which they operate on the basis of these factors. The following table presents key participants in segments of the lodging industry in which we compete:
Segment Representative Participants ------- --------------------------- Luxury Full-Service Ritz-Carlton; Four Seasons Upscale Full-Service Crown Plaza; Doubletree; Hyatt; Hilton; Marriott Hotels, Resort and Suites; Radisson; Renaissance; Sheraton; Swissotel; Westin; Wyndham
Seasonality Our hotel revenues have traditionally experienced significant seasonality. Additionally, hotel revenues in the fourth quarter reflect sixteen weeks of results compared to twelve weeks for the first three quarters of the fiscal year. Average hotel sales by quarter over the three years 1997 through 1999 for our lodging properties are as follows:
First Quarter Second Quarter Third Quarter Fourth Quarter ------------- -------------- ------------- -------------- 22% 23% 22% 33%
59 Other Real Estate Investments We have lease and sublease activity relating primarily to Host Marriott's former restaurant operations. Additionally, we have lease activity related to certain office space that we own in Atlanta, Chicago, and San Francisco which is included in other revenues in our statements of operations. Prior to the REIT conversion, we owned 12 undeveloped parcels of vacant land, totaling approximately 83 acres, originally purchased primarily for the development of hotels or senior living communities. These parcels are now owned by one of the non-controlled subsidiaries. Employees As of September 8, 2000, we had 179 management employees, and 13 other employees who are covered by a collective bargaining agreement that is subject to review and renewal on a regular basis. We believe that we and our managers have good relations with labor unions and have not experienced any material business interruptions as a result of labor disputes. Environmental and Regulatory 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 may 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, certain environmental laws and common law principles could be used to impose liability for release of asbestos-containing materials, and third parties may seek recovery from owners or operators of real properties for personal injury associated with exposure to released asbestos-containing materials. Environmental laws also may impose restrictions on the manner in which property may be used or business may be operated, and these restrictions may require expenditures. In connection with our current or prior ownership or operation of hotels, we may be potentially liable for any such costs or liabilities. Although we are currently not aware of any material environmental claims pending or threatened against us, we can offer no assurance that a material environmental claim will not be asserted against us. The Leases Currently, in order for Host REIT to qualify as a REIT and for us to be treated as a partnership for income tax purposes, neither we nor Host REIT may operate the hotels or related properties. Accordingly, we lease the hotels to lessees, which are primarily wholly owned indirect subsidiaries of Crestline. Beginning January 1, 2001, the REIT Modernization Act, however, will permit a REIT to lease hotels to a subsidiary that qualifies as a taxable REIT subsidiary. For a description of our definitive agreement with Crestline to acquire the entities that own the leasehold interests for 117 of our hotels through a taxable REIT subsidiary, see "--The REIT Conversion" above. The following is a brief summary of the general terms of the leases, a form of which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. . Lessees. There generally is a separate lessee for each hotel or group of hotels that is owned by us or our subsidiaries. Each lessee is a Delaware limited liability company, whose purpose is limited to acting as lessee under the applicable lease(s). For those hotels where it is the manager, Marriott International or a subsidiary has a noneconomic membership interest in the lessee entitling it to certain voting rights but no economic rights. The operating agreements for such lessees provide that the Crestline member of the lessee has full control over the management of the business of the lessee, except with respect to specific decisions for which the consent of both members is required. Upon any termination of the applicable management agreement, these special voting rights of Marriott International or its subsidiary will cease. 60 . Lease Terms. Each lease has a fixed term ranging generally from seven to ten years (depending upon the lease), subject to earlier termination upon the occurrence of specified contingencies described in the lease. Effective November 15, 1999, we amended substantially all of our leases with Crestline to give Crestline the right to renew each of these leases for up to four additional terms of seven years each at a fair rental value, to be determined either by agreement between us and Crestline or through arbitration at the time the renewal option is exercised. Crestline is under no obligation to exercise these renewal options, and we have the right to terminate the renewal options during time periods specified in the amendments. In addition, the amendments provide that the fair rental value payable by us to Crestline in connection with the purchase of a lease as described above does not include any amounts relating to any renewal period. Therefore, the fair rental value of a lease after expiration of the initial term for such lease would be zero. . Termination of the Leases upon Changes in Tax Laws. In the event that changes in the federal income tax laws such as those included in the REIT Modernization Act allow the lessors, or subsidiaries or affiliates of the lessors, to directly operate the hotels without jeopardizing Host REIT's status as a REIT, the lessors have the right to terminate all, but not less than all, of the leases (excluding leases of hotels that must still be leased following the tax law change) in return for paying the lessees the fair market value of the remaining terms of the leases. We are currently engaged in discussions with Crestline regarding a transaction in which a taxable REIT subsidiary owned by us would acquire all or substantially all of the leases that Crestline owns for our hotels. We have not reached an agreement with Crestline with respect to this acquisition and there can be no assurance that we will be able to reach an agreement or that an acquisition would be completed. . Minimum Rent; Percentage Rent. Each lease requires the lessee to pay minimum rent in a fixed dollar amount per annum specified in each lease plus, to the extent it exceeds minimum rent, percentage rent based upon specified percentages of aggregate sales from the applicable hotel, including room sales, food and beverage sales and other income in excess of specified thresholds. The amount of minimum rent and the percentage rent thresholds are to be adjusted each year. The annual adjustment with respect to minimum rent equals a percentage of any increase in the Consumer Price Index during the previous twelve months. Neither minimum rent nor percentage rent thresholds will be decreased because of the annual adjustment. . Lessee Expenses. Each lessee is responsible for paying all of the expenses of operating the applicable hotel(s), including all personnel costs, utility costs and general repair and maintenance of the hotel(s). The lessee also is responsible for all fees payable to the applicable manager, including base and incentive management fees, chain services payments and franchise or system fees, with respect to periods covered by the term of the lease. The lessee is not obligated to bear the cost of any capital improvements or capital repairs to the hotels or the other expenses borne by the lessor, as described below. . Lessor Expenses. The lessor is responsible for the following expenses: real estate taxes, personal property taxes, casualty insurance on the structures, ground lease rent payments, required expenditures for FF&E and capital expenditures. The consent of the lessor is required for any capital expenditures or a change in the amount of the FF&E reserve payment. . Crestline Guarantee. Crestline and some of its subsidiaries have entered into a limited guarantee of the lease and management agreement obligations of each lessee. For each of four identified "pools" of hotels, the cumulative limit of the guarantee at any time is 10% of the aggregate rents under all leases in such pool paid with respect to the preceding thirteen full accounting periods (with an annualized amount based upon the minimum rent for those leases that have not been in effect for thirteen full accounting periods). In the event of a payment default under any lease or failure of Crestline to maintain specified minimum net worth or debt service coverage ratios, the obligations under the guarantees of leases in each pool are secured by excess cash flow of each lessee in such pool. Such excess cash flow will be collected, held in a cash collateral account, and disbursed in accordance with agreed cash management procedures. 61 . Working Capital. Each lessor sold the existing working capital (including Inventory and Fixed Asset Supplies (as defined in the Uniform System of Accounts for Hotels) and receivables due from the manager, net of accounts payable and accrued expenses) to the applicable lessee upon the commencement of the lease at a price equal to the fair market value of such assets. The purchase price was represented by a note evidencing a loan that bears interest at a rate per year equal to the "long-term applicable federal rate" in effect on the commencement of the lease. Interest owed on the working capital loan is due simultaneously with each periodic rent payment and the amount of each payment of interest will be credited against such rent payment. The principal amount of the working capital loan will be payable upon termination of the lease. . Termination of Leases upon Disposition of Full-Service Hotels. In the event the applicable lessor enters into an agreement to sell or otherwise transfer any full-service hotel free and clear of the applicable lease, the lessor must pay the lessee a termination fee equal to the fair market value of the lessee's leasehold interest in the remaining term of the lease. Alternatively, the lessor would be entitled to substitute a comparable hotel or hotels for any hotel that is sold or sell the hotel subject to the lease subject to the lessee's reasonable approval. In addition, the lessors collectively and the lessees collectively each have the right to terminate up to twelve leases without being required to pay any fee or other compensation as a result of such termination, but the lessors are permitted to exercise such right only in connection with sales of hotels to an unrelated third party or the transfer of a hotel to a joint venture in which we do not have a two-thirds or greater interest. . Assignment of Lease. A lessee is permitted to sublet all or part of the hotel or assign its interest under its lease, without the consent of the lessor, to any wholly owned and controlled single purpose subsidiary of Crestline, provided that Crestline continues to meet the minimum net worth test and all other requirements of the lease. Transfers to other parties are permitted if approved by the lessor. . Subordination to Qualifying Mortgage Debt. The rights of each lessee are expressly subordinate to qualifying mortgage debt and any refinancing thereof. . Personal Property Limitation. If a lessor reasonably anticipates that the average tax basis of the items of the lessor's FF&E and other personal property that are leased to the applicable lessee will exceed 15% of the aggregate average tax basis of the real and personal property subject to the applicable lease the lessor would acquire any replacement FF&E that would cause the applicable limits to be exceeded, and immediately thereafter the lessee would be obligated either to acquire such excess FF&E from the lessor or to cause a third party to purchase such FF&E. The annual rent under the applicable lease would then be reduced in accordance with a formula based on market leasing rates for the excess FF&E. Beginning January 1, 2001, the average aggregate fair market values of both real and personal property will be used for purposes of determining rents from real property as opposed to the aggregate tax bases. . Change in Manager. A lessee is permitted to change the manager or the brand affiliation of a hotel only with the approval of the applicable lessor, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld. The Management Agreements All of our hotels are subject to management agreements for the operation of the properties. The original terms of the management agreements are generally 15 to 20 years in length with multiple optional renewal terms. The following is a brief summary of the general terms of the management agreements, a form of which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The lessees lease the hotels from us or our subsidiaries. Upon leasing the hotels, the lessees assume substantially all of the obligations of such subsidiaries under the management agreements between those entities and the subsidiaries of the companies that currently manage the hotels. As a result of their assumptions of obligations under the management agreements, the lessees have substantially all of the rights and obligations of the "owners" of the hotels under the management agreements for the period during which the leases are in effect (including the obligation to pay the management 62 and other fees thereunder) and hold us harmless with respect thereto. Our subsidiaries remain liable for all obligations under the management agreements. If the purchase of the Crestline entities that own the leasehold interests with respect to 117 of our full-service hotels is consummated, Crestline will no longer be obligated under the management agreements. . General. Under each management agreement related to a Marriott International-managed hotel, the manager provides complete management services to the applicable lessees in connection with its management of such lessee's hotels. . Operational services. The managers have been delegated sole responsibility and exclusive authority for all activities necessary for the day-to-day operation of the hotels, as agents, including establishment of all room rates, the processing of reservations, procurement of inventories, supplies and services, periodic inspection and consultation visits to the hotels by the managers' technical and operational experts and promotion and publicity of the hotels. The manager receives compensation from the lessee in the form of a base management fee and an incentive management fee, which are normally calculated as percentages of gross revenues and operating profits, respectively. . Executive supervision and management services. The managers provide all managerial and other employees for the hotels; review the operation and maintenance of the hotels; prepare reports, budgets and projections; provide other administrative and accounting support services, such as planning and policy services, financial planning, divisional financial services, risk planning services, product planning and development, employee planning, corporate executive management, legislative and governmental representation and certain in-house legal services; and protect tradenames and service marks. The managers also provide national reservations systems. . Chain services. Generally, the management agreements require the manager to furnish chain services that are furnished generally on a central or regional basis. Such services include: (1) the development and operation of computer systems and reservation services, (2) regional management and administrative services, regional marketing and sales services, regional training services, manpower development and relocation costs of regional personnel and (3) such additional central or regional services as may from time to time be more efficiently performed on a regional or group level. Costs and expenses incurred in providing such services are allocated among all hotels managed by the manager or its affiliates and each applicable lessee is required to reimburse the manager for its allocable share of such costs and expenses. . Working capital and fixed asset supplies. The lessee is required to maintain working capital for each hotel and fund the cost of fixed asset supplies, which principally consist of linen and similar items. The applicable lessee also is responsible for providing funds to meet the cash needs for the operations of the hotels if at any time the funds available from operations are insufficient to meet the financial requirements of the hotels. . Use of affiliates. The manager employs the services of its affiliates to provide certain services under the management agreements. Certain of the management agreements provide that the terms of any such employment must be no less favorable to the applicable lessee, in the reasonable judgment of the manager, than those that would be available from the manager. Furniture, fixtures, furnishings and equipment replacements. The management agreements generally provide that once each year the manager will prepare a list of FF&E to be acquired and certain routine repairs that are normally capitalized to be performed in the next year and an estimate of the funds necessary therefor. Under the terms of the leases, the lessor is required to provide to the applicable lessee all necessary FF&E for the operation of the hotels (including funding any required FF&E replacements). For purposes of funding the FF&E replacements, a specified percentage (generally 5%) of the gross revenues of the hotel is deposited by the manager into a book entry account. These amounts are treated under the leases as paid by the lessees to the lessor and will be credited against their rental obligations. 63 Under each lease, the lessor is responsible for the costs of FF&E replacements and for decisions with respect thereto (subject to its obligations to the lessee under the lease). . Building alterations, improvements and renewals. The management agreements require the manager to prepare an annual estimate of the expenditures necessary for major repairs, alterations, improvements, renewals and replacements to the structural, mechanical, electrical, heating, ventilating, air conditioning, plumbing and vertical transportation elements of each hotel. Such estimate must be submitted to the lessor and the lessee for their approval. In addition to the foregoing, the management agreements generally provide that the manager may propose such changes, alterations and improvements to the hotel as are required, in the manager's reasonable judgment, to keep the hotel in a competitive, efficient and economical operating condition or in accordance with Marriott standards. The cost of the foregoing is paid from the FF&E reserve account; to the extent that there are insufficient funds in such account, we are required to pay any shortfall. . Service marks. During the term of the management agreements, the service mark, such as "Marriott" and other symbols, logos and service marks currently used by the manager and its affiliates, may be used in the operation of the hotels. Marriott International (or its applicable affiliates), Hyatt, Swissotel, and Four Seasons intend to retain their legal ownership of these marks. Any right to use the service marks, logo and symbols and related trademarks at a hotel will terminate with respect to that hotel upon termination of the management agreement with respect to such hotel. . Termination fee. Certain of the management agreements provide that if the management agreement is terminated prior to its full term due to casualty, condemnation or the sale of the hotel, the manager would receive a termination fee as specified in the specific management agreement. Under the leases, the responsibility for the payment of any such termination fee as between the lessee and the lessor depends upon the cause for such termination. . Termination for failure to perform. Most of the management agreements may be terminated based upon a failure to meet certain financial performance criteria, subject to the manager's right to prevent such termination by making specified payments to the lessee based upon the shortfall in such criteria. Assignment of management agreements. The management agreements applicable to each hotel have been assigned to the applicable lessee for the term of the lease of such hotel. The lessee is obligated to perform all of the obligations of the lessor under the management agreement during the term of its lease, other than specified retained obligations including, without limitation, payment of real property taxes, property casualty insurance and ground rent, and maintaining a reserve fund for FF&E replacements and capital expenditures, for which the lessor retains responsibility. Although the lessee has assumed obligations of the lessor under the management agreement, the lessor is not released from its obligations and, if the lessee fails to perform any obligations, the manager will be entitled to seek performance by or damages from the lessor. If the lease is terminated for any reason, any new or successor lessee must meet certain requirements for an approved lessee or otherwise be acceptable to Marriott International. Non-competition agreements Pursuant to a non-competition agreement entered into in connection with the leases, Crestline has agreed, among other things, that until the earlier of December 31, 2008 and the date on which it is no longer a lessee for more than 25% of the number of the hotels owned by us on December 29, 1998, it will not (1) own, operate or otherwise control (as owner or franchisor) any full-service hotel brand or franchise, or purchase, finance or otherwise invest in full- service hotels, or act as an agent or consultant with respect to any of the foregoing activities, or lease or manage full-service hotels (other than hotels owned by us) if its economic return therefrom would be more similar to returns derived from ownership interests in such hotels except for acquisitions of property used in hotels as to which a subsidiary of Crestline is the lessee, investments in full-service hotels which represent an immaterial portion of a merger or similar transaction or a minimal portfolio investment in another entity, limited investments (whether debt or equity) in full-service hotels as to which a subsidiary of Crestline is the lessee or activities undertaken with respect to its business of providing asset 64 management services to hotel owners, or (2) without our consent, manage any of the hotels owned by us, other than to provide asset management services. We have agreed with Crestline, among other things, that, (1) until December 31, 2003, we will not purchase, finance or otherwise invest in senior living communities, or act as an agent or consultant with respect to any of the foregoing activities (except for acquisitions of communities which represent an immaterial portion of a merger or similar transaction or for minimal portfolio investments in other entities) and (2) until the earlier of December 31, 2008 and the date on which subsidiaries of Crestline are no longer lessees for more than 25% of the number of the hotels owned by Host Marriott on December 29, 1998, we will not lease, as tenant or subtenant, limited- or full-service hotel properties from any "real estate investment trust" within the meaning of Sections 856 through 859 of the Internal Revenue Code where it will not be the operator or manager of the hotel (other than through a contractual arrangement with a non-affiliated party) and where its rental payments qualify as "rents from real property" within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Internal Revenue Code, or purchase, finance or otherwise invest in persons or entities which engage in any of the foregoing activities, or act as an agent or consultant with respect to any of the foregoing activities (except for acquisitions of entities which engage in any of the foregoing activities where the prohibited activities represent an immaterial portion of a merger or similar transaction, or minimal portfolio investments in other entities which engage in any of the foregoing activities, or certain leasing arrangements existing on December 29, 1998 or entered into in the future between us and certain other related parties, or by our management of any hotels in which it has an equity interest). In addition, both Crestline and we have agreed not to hire or attempt to hire any of the other company's senior employees at any time prior to December 31, 2000. In the event we were to consummate a transaction with Crestline for the purchase of all or substantially all of the leases for our hotels held by Crestline subsidiaries, as more fully described above under "--The REIT Conversion," the non-competition agreement would likely be affected as part of the negotiation. We entered into a noncompetition agreement with Marriott International that defines our rights and obligations with respect to certain businesses operated by each of us. Crestline became an additional party to this agreement at the time its shares were distributed to our stockholders. At that time, we also entered into an agreement with Crestline under which we agreed with Crestline about the allocation between us of the rights to engage in certain activities permitted under the agreement with Marriott International. In general, under this agreement, we and our subsidiaries are prohibited from entering into or acquiring any business that competes with the hotel management business (i.e., managing, operating or franchising full-service or limited-service hotels) as conducted by Marriott International. This non-competition agreement with Marriott International terminates on October 8, 2000, and thereafter will no longer restrict business in which we may engage. Legal Proceedings Marriott Hotel Properties II Limited Partnership (MHP). Limited partners of MHP II have filed putative class action lawsuits in Palm Beach County Circuit Court on May 10, 1996, Leonard Rosenblum, as Trustee of the Sylvia Bernice Rosenblum Trust, et. al. v. Marriott MHP Two Corporation, et. al., Case No. CL- 96-4087-AD, and, in the Delaware Court of Chancery on April 24, 1996, Cary W. Salter, Jr., et. al. v. MHP II Acquisition Corp., et. al., respectively, against Host REIT and certain of its affiliates alleging that the defendants violated their fiduciary duties and engaged in fraud and coercion in connection with the tender offer for MHP II units and with our acquisition of MHP II in connection with the REIT conversion. The plaintiffs in these actions are seeking unspecified damages. In the Florida case, the defendants removed the case to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida and, after hearings on various procedural motions, the District Court remanded the case to state court on July 25, 1998. In light of the court's decision in the Delaware case, detailed below, the defendants in the Florida action filed a supplemental memorandum in support of their motions to dismiss, and attached a copy of the Delaware opinion to the memorandum. The Florida court has not yet ruled on the motions. In the Delaware case, the Delaware Court of Chancery initially granted the plaintiffs' motion to voluntarily dismiss the case with the proviso that the plaintiffs could refile in the aforementioned action in 65 federal court in Florida. After the District Court's remand of the Florida action back to Florida state court, two of the three original Delaware plaintiffs asked the Court of Chancery to reconsider its order granting their voluntary dismissal. The Court of Chancery refused to allow the plaintiffs to join the Florida action and, instead, reinstated the Delaware case, now styled In Re Marriott Hotel Properties II Limited Partnership Unitholders Litigation, Consolidated Civil Action No. 14961. On January 29, 1999, Cary W. Salter, one of the original plaintiffs, alone filed an Amended Consolidated Class Action Complaint in the Delaware action, adding the allegations that related to our acquisition of MHP II in connection with the REIT conversion. On January 24, 2000, the Delaware Court of Chancery issued a memorandum opinion in which the court dismissed all but one of the plaintiff's claims, which remaining claim concerns the adequacy of disclosure during the initial tender offer. This claim remains pending. A subsequent lawsuit, Accelerated High Yield Growth Fund, Ltd., et al. v. HMC Hotels Properties II Limited Partnership, et. al., C.A. No. 18254NC, was filed on August 23, 2000 in the Delaware Court of Chancery by the MacKenzie Patterson group of funds, one of the three original Delaware plaintiffs, against Host REIT and certain of its affiliates alleging breach of contract, fraud and coercion in connection with the acquisition of MHP II during the REIT conversion. The plaintiffs allege that our acquisition of MHP II by merger in connection with the REIT conversion violated the partnership agreement and that our subsidiary acting as the general partner of MHP II breached its fiduciary duties by allowing it to occur. The plaintiffs in this action are seeking unspecified damages. Marriott Suites Limited Partnership (MSLP). On December 10, 1999, KSK Hawaii Co., Ltd. ("KSK"), a limited partner in MSLP, filed a lawsuit, KSK Hawaii Co., Ltd. v. Marriott SBM One Corporation, et al., Civil Action No. 17657-NC, in the Delaware Court of Chancery. This lawsuit relates to a 1996 recapitalization of MSLP by our subsidiary, the general partner of MSLP, and the merger of MSLP into Host REIT in 1998. KSK claims that it was coerced into selling 19 of its 20 partnership units in the 1996 recapitalization and alleges that the 1998 merger was a "freeze-out' merger that was designed solely to eliminate KSK's interest in MSLP. KSK maintains that it lost slightly more than $15 million as a result of its investment in MSLP. The defendants have filed their answer, and this case is in the early stages of discovery. Mutual Benefit Chicago Marriott Suite Hotel Partners, L.P. ("O'Hare Suites"). On October 5, 2000, Joseph S. Roth and Robert M. Niedelman, limited partners in O'Hare Suites, filed a putative class action lawsuit, Joseph S. Roth, et al., v. MOHS Corporation, et al., Case No. 00CH14500, in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Chancery Division, against Host REIT, Host LP, Marriott International, and MOHS Corporation, a subsidiary of Host LP and a former general partner of O'Hare Suites. The plaintiffs allege that an improper calculation of the hotel manager's incentive management fees resulted in inappropriate payments in 1997 and 1998, and, consequently, in an inadequate appraised value for their limited partner units in connection with the acquisition of O'Hare Suites during the REIT conversion. The plaintiffs are seeking damages of approximately $13 million. Certain Policies The following is a discussion of our and Host REIT's policies with respect to distributions, investments, financing, lending, conflicts of interest and certain other activities. Our policies with respect to these activities are determined by the Board of Directors of Host REIT and may be amended or revised from time to time at the discretion of the Board of Directors, except that changes in certain policies with respect to conflicts of interest must be consistent with legal and contractual requirements. Investment Policies Investments in Real Estate or Interests in Real Estate. Host REIT is required to conduct all of its investment activities through us. Our investment objectives are to . achieve long-term sustainable growth in "Funds from Operations" (i.e., net income computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, excluding gains or losses from debt 66 restructuring and sales of properties, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures) per OP Unit and cash flow; . increase asset values by selectively improving and expanding our hotels; . acquire additional existing and newly developed upscale and luxury full service hotels in targeted markets (primarily focusing on downtown hotels in core business districts in major metropolitan markets and select airport and resort/convention locations); . develop and construct upscale and luxury full service hotels; and . opportunistically pursue other real estate investments. Our business primarily focuses on upscale and luxury full service hotels. Where appropriate, and subject to REIT qualification rules and limitations contained in our partnership agreement, we may sell certain of our hotels. We 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 or such financing or indebtedness may be incurred in connection with acquiring investments. Any such financing or indebtedness will have priority over our equity interest in such property. Investments in Real Estate Mortgages. While we will emphasize equity real estate investments, we may, in our discretion, invest in mortgages and other similar interests. We do not intend to invest to a significant extent in mortgages or deeds of trust, but may acquire mortgages as a strategy for acquiring ownership of a property or the economic equivalent thereof, subject to the investment restrictions applicable to REITs. In addition, we may invest in mortgage-related securities and/or may seek to issue securities representing interests in such mortgage-related securities as a method of raising additional funds. Securities of or Interests in Persons Primarily Engaged in Real Estate Activities and Other Issuers. Subject to the percentage ownership limitations and gross and asset income tests necessary for REIT qualification, we also may invest in securities of other entities engaged in real estate activities or invest in securities of other issuers, including for the purpose of exercising control over such entities. We may acquire all or substantially all of the securities or assets of other REITs or similar entities where such investments would be consistent with our investment policies. No such investments will be made, however, unless the Board of Directors determines that the proposed investment would not cause either Host REIT or us to be an "investment company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Financing Policies Neither our nor Host REIT's organizational documents contain restrictions on incurring debt. The indenture described in this prospectus under "Description of Notes" and our existing credit facility impose limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness. The indenture limits the amount of debt that we may incur if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional debt, the aggregate principal amount of all of our and our subsidiaries on a consolidated basis is greater than 65% of our undepreciated total assets on the date of such incurrence. We may, from time to time, reduce our outstanding indebtedness by repurchasing a portion of such outstanding indebtedness, subject to certain restrictions contained in our partnership agreement and the terms of our outstanding indebtedness. We will from time to time reevaluate our borrowing policies in light of then current economic conditions, relative costs of debt and equity capital, market conditions, market values of properties, growth and acquisition opportunities and other factors. Consequently, our financing policy is subject to modification and change. We may waive or modify our borrowing policy without notice to, or vote of, the holders of any of our securities or any securities of Host REIT. To the extent that the Host REIT Board of Directors determines to seek additional capital, we or Host REIT may raise such capital through equity offerings, debt financing or retention of cash flow or a combination of these methods. As long as we are in existence, the net proceeds of all equity capital raised by Host REIT will be contributed to us in exchange for OP Units, which will dilute the ownership interest of our limited partners. 67 In the future, we may seek to extend, expand, reduce or renew our existing credit facility, or obtain new credit facilities or lines of credit, subject to our general policy relating to the ratio of debt-to-total market capitalization, for the purpose of making acquisitions or capital improvements or providing working capital or meeting the taxable income distribution requirements for REITs under the Internal Revenue Code. In the future, we and Host REIT also may determine to issue securities senior to the common shares or OP Units, including preferred shares and debt securities (either of which may be convertible into common shares or OP Units or may be accompanied by warrants to purchase common shares or OP Units). We have not established any limit on the number or amount of mortgages that may be placed on any single hotel or on its portfolio as a whole, although our objective is to reduce its reliance on secured indebtedness. Lending Policies We may consider offering purchase money financing in connection with the sale of a hotel where the provision of such financing will increase the value we receive for the hotel sold. Policies With Respect to Other Activities We may, but do not presently intend to, make investments other than as previously described. Host REIT will make investments only through us. We and Host REIT have authority to offer our securities and to repurchase or otherwise reacquire our securities and may engage in such activities in the future. We and Host REIT also may make loans to joint ventures in which we may participate in the future to meet working capital needs. We do not, and Host REIT does not, intend to engage in trading, underwriting, agency distribution or sale of securities of other issuers. Host REIT's policies with respect to such activities may be reviewed and modified from time to time by Host REIT's Board of Directors without notice to, or the vote of, the holders of any securities of Host REIT or us. 68 MANAGEMENT Executive Officers and Directors of Host REIT The following table sets forth certain information with respect to persons who are the directors and executive officers of Host REIT, our sole general partner.

Schreiber and Robert M. Baylis. The Audit Committee meets at least four times a year with the independent auditors, management representatives and internal auditors; recommends to the Board of Directors appointment of independent auditors; approves the scope of audits and other services to be performed by the independent and internal auditors; considers whether the performance of any professional service by the auditors other than services provided in connection with the audit function could impair the independence of the outside auditors; reviews the results of internal and external audits, the accounting principles applied in financial reporting, and financial and operational controls; and reviews interim financial statements each quarter before the company files its Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Theodore Ammon, Robert M. Baylis, J.W. Marriott, Jr., Ann Dore McLaughlin and Harry L. Vincent, Jr. The Compensation Policy Committee's functions include recommendations on policies and procedures relating to senior officers' compensation and various employee stock plans, and approval of individual salary adjustments and stock awards in those areas. 71 Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is composed of six Directors who are not our employees or employees of Host REIT, namely, Ann Dore McLaughlin (Chair), Harry L. Vincent, Jr., John G. Schreiber, R. Theodore Ammon, J.W. Marriott, Jr. and Robert M. Baylis. It considers candidates for election as Directors and is responsible for keeping abreast of and making recommendations with regard to corporate governance in general. In addition, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee fulfills an advisory function with respect to a range of matters affecting the Board of Directors and its Committees, including the making of recommendations with respect to qualifications of Director candidates, compensation of Directors, the selection of committee chairs, committee assignments and related matters affecting the functioning of the Board. Host REIT may from time to time form other committees as circumstances warrant. Such committees will have authority and responsibility as delegated by the Board of Directors. Compensation of Directors Directors who are also our officers or officers of Host REIT will receive no additional compensation for their services as Directors. Directors who are not officers will receive an annual retainer fee of $30,000 as well as an attendance fee of $1,250 for each shareholders' meeting, meeting of the Board of Directors or meeting of a committee of the Board of Directors, regardless of the number of meetings held on a given day. The chair of each committee of the Board of Directors will receive an additional annual retainer fee of $1,000, except for the chair of the Compensation Policy Committee, Mr. Schreiber, who will receive an annual retainer fee of $6,000. (The higher annual retainer fee paid to the chair of the Compensation Policy Committee relates to his additional duties which include, among other things, the annual performance appraisal of the chief executive officer on behalf of the Board, although the final appraisal is determined by the Board.) Any individual Director receiving these fees may elect to defer payment of all such fees or any portion thereof pursuant to Host REIT's Executive Deferred Compensation Plan and/or Host REIT's Non-Employee Directors' Deferred Stock Compensation Plan. Directors will also be reimbursed for travel expenses and other out-of-pocket costs incurred in attending meetings or in visiting hotels or other properties controlled by us or by Marriott International. Directors who are not also our officers or officers of Host REIT receive an annual award of deferred shares of Host REIT common stock equal in value to the amount of the annual retainer fee paid to non-employee Directors. This annual award of deferred shares is distributed immediately following the annual meeting of Host REIT shareholders. In 2000, each such award was for 2,972 shares. Host REIT's Non-Employee Directors' Deferred Stock Compensation Plan permits participants to be credited with dividend equivalents which are equal in value to the dividends paid on Host REIT common stock. In addition, in 1997, the following Directors of Host REIT received special one-time awards of Host REIT common stock in the amounts indicated: Mr. Ammon, 4,000 shares; Mr. Baylis, 7,000 shares; Ms. McLaughlin, 7,000 shares and Mr. Vincent, 7,000 shares.

- -------- (1) Salary amounts include base salary earned and paid in cash during the fiscal year as well as the amount of base salary deferred at the election of the named executive officer under Host REIT's Executive Deferred Compensation Plan. An increase in base salary for the period November 2, 1997 through the end of that fiscal year was paid in 1998 and reported as 1997 earnings. The 1998 salary includes a competitive pay adjustment, paid in 1999 but effective as of November 2, 1998 and reported as 1998 earnings. The 1998 salary adjustment resulted from a compensation study conducted by an independent consulting firm retained by the Compensation Policy Committee of the Board of Directors. (2) The bonus consists of the cash bonus earned pursuant to Host REIT's 1997 Comprehensive Stock and Cash Incentive Plan. It was either paid subsequent to the end of each fiscal year or deferred under the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan. (3) The amounts set forth in this column for Mr. Marriott include $110,700, $97,000 and $92,000 in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, for the allocation of company personnel costs for non-company business, and $120,174, $133,626 and $101,535 in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, for additional cash compensation to cover taxes payable for all other compensation in this column. (4) The amounts set forth in this column for Mr. Golden represent reimbursement of travel expenses of Mr. Golden's spouse when she accompanied him on Host Marriott Corporation business trips. It also includes additional cash compensation to cover taxes payable for such reimbursement. (5) Restricted Stock. Restricted stock awards are subject to various general restrictions, such as continued employment, as well as several performance restrictions. Holders of restricted stock receive dividends and exercise voting rights on their restricted shares. The named executive officers have agreed that any cash dividends on the shares of restricted stock shall, after withholding for or payment of any taxes due on the dividends, be reinvested in shares of Host REIT common stock either through a dividend reinvestment program or otherwise. Deferred Bonus Stock. The amount of a deferred bonus stock award generally equals 20 percent of each individual's annual cash bonus award, based on the stock price on the last trading day for the fiscal year. Holders of deferred bonus stock awards do not receive dividends or exercise voting rights on their deferred bonus stock until such stock has been distributed to them. The recipient can designate an award as current, which is distributed in 10 annual installments beginning one year after the award is granted, or deferred, which is distributed in a lump sum or in up to 10 annual installments following termination of employment. Deferred bonus stock awards contingently vest in 10 equal annual installments beginning one year after the awards are granted. 73 (6) Seventy percent of the restricted shares awarded in 1998 have performance restrictions and thirty percent have general restrictions conditioned upon continued employment. The performance criteria established by the Compensation Policy Committee are based upon (i) the measurement of our annual stock performance (Stockholder Return Performance) and (ii) either (a) for 1999, the relative performance of Host REIT stock measured against a published peer index (Relative Performance), or (b) for all other years, Host Marriott's achieving specific earnings targets set by the Compensation Policy Committee. Restricted shares granted in previous years which had not had restrictions released, including those reflected in the table as having been granted in 1997, were forfeited and replaced by the restricted shares awarded in 1998. The total number of restricted and deferred shares held by each named executive officer as of the end of the 1999 fiscal year and the aggregate value of those shares at such time were as follows: Mr. Marriott, 150,176 shares valued at $1,262,417; Mr. Golden, 895,151 shares valued at $7,524,863; Mr. Nassetta, 578,414 shares valued at $4,862,293; Mr. Parsons, 483,213 shares valued at $4,099,586; and Mr. Townsend, 138,075 shares valued at $1,160,693. (7) In 1999, the Compensation Policy Committee determined that the time and performance criteria set forth in the long-term incentive plan established in 1996 for Mr. Nassetta and Mr. Parsons had been met. Accordingly, the restricted shares awarded under such long-term incentive plan vested and the restrictions were released. (8) This column represents Host REIT's matching contributions made under its Retirement and Savings Plan and its Executive Deferred Compensation Plan. Under the Retirement and Savings Plan, Host REIT contributed $9,600 for each of the named executive officers in 1999. The amounts contributed under the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan for 1999 for each named executive officer were as follows: Mr. Marriott, $15,953; Mr. Golden, $72,352; Mr. Nassetta, $38,763; Mr. Parsons, $33,072; and Mr. Townsend, $14,966. For Mr. Marriott, this column also includes the amount of the taxable economic benefit to Mr. Marriott as a result of Host Marriott's purchase of certain life insurance policies for the benefit of a trust established by Mr. Marriott. For 1999, such taxable economic benefit to Mr. Marriott was $558. (9) Mr. Golden retired from his positions as President and Chief Executive Officer in May 2000, at which time Mr. Nassetta became President and Chief Executive Officer. During the fiscal years reported in this table, Mr. Nassetta served as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. 74 Aggregated Stock Option/SAR Exercises and Year-End Value The table below sets forth, on an aggregated basis, (1) information regarding the exercise during fiscal year 1999 of options to purchase Host Marriott common stock (and shares of the common stock of other companies which Host Marriott has previously spun off) by each of the Named Executive Officers listed on the Executive Compensation table above, (2) information regarding the exercise of stock appreciation rights ("SARs") in Host REIT common stock by each of the Named Executive Officers, and (3) the value on December 31, 1999 of all unexercised options and SARs held by such individuals. Terence C. Golden and Christopher J. Nassetta do not have any options to purchase stock in any of the companies listed in the following table. Richard E. Marriott is the only executive officer who holds SARs in Host REIT common stock. In 1998, he entered into an agreement with Host Marriott pursuant to which all of his then outstanding options to purchase Host Marriott common stock were canceled and then replaced with SARs on equivalent economic terms.

- -------- (1) "HM" represents options to purchase or SARs in Host REIT common stock. "HMS" represents options to purchase Host Marriott Services Corporation common stock. "MI" represents options to purchase Marriott International, Inc. common stock. (2) The number and terms of these options reflect several adjustments made as a result of our spin-off of Marriott International in October 1993; Host Marriott's spin-off of Host Marriott Services Corporation in December 1995; the spin-off of Marriott International from Sodexho Marriott Services Corporation in March 1998; and Host Marriott's conversion into a real estate investment trust (and the related spin-off of Crestline Capital Corporation) in December 1998, each in accordance with the applicable employee benefit plans covering those options. These adjustments preserved, but did not increase or decrease, the economic value of the options. (3) These figures are based on a per share price for Host REIT common stock of $8.406 and a per share price for Marriott International, Inc. common stock of $31.375. These prices reflect the average of the high and low trading prices on the New York Stock Exchange on December 31, 1999. 75 Employment Arrangements Certain of the terms and conditions of employment of Messrs. Golden, Nassetta, Parsons, Risoleo, Walter, Townsend and Olinger, are governed by a written "Key Executives/Termination of Employment" policy. The policy provides a basic framework to govern the termination of employment under specific circumstances. This policy is not a binding contract and can be changed by Host REIT unilaterally at any time. The terms of the plan are subject to the approval of the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer/President as applicable. Certain of the terms and conditions of employment of Terence C. Golden are also governed by a written employment agreement. Under the terms of that agreement, Mr. Golden's annual salary has been set at $750,000 for 2000. Under the agreement, in the event of a "termination event" (defined as a significant reduction in Mr. Golden's responsibility, a requirement to relocate, a change in control, a change in his responsibility to the Company's Chairman or his failure to receive a bonus equal to at least half of the maximum bonus available to be earned for a particular year), Mr. Golden will receive a payment equal to one year's salary and an amount equal to the maximum bonus that could have been earned for the year in which such termination event occurs, and the restrictions will be lifted on all remaining restricted stock held by Mr. Golden. If he is terminated without cause, Mr. Golden will receive one year's salary and bonus and the restrictions will be lifted on the restricted stock that is not subject to performance goals. In the event Mr. Golden is terminated for cause or resigns, he will receive no termination payment and the restricted stock will be canceled. Mr. Golden retired from his position as President and Chief Executive Officer in May 2000, but he remains an employee of Host Marriott through the remainder of fiscal year 2000. Accordingly, he will receive any benefits accruing in 2000 that are incidental to such employment. His bonus award for fiscal year 2000, however, will be pro rated through May 2000. 1998 Employee Benefits Allocation Agreement As part of the REIT conversion, we entered into an Employee Benefits and Other Employment Matters Allocation Agreement along with Host REIT and Crestline ("1998 Employee Benefits Allocation Agreement"). The 1998 Employee Benefits Allocation Agreement governs the allocation of responsibilities with respect to various compensation, benefits and labor matters. Under the 1998 Employee Benefits Allocation Agreement, Crestline assumes certain liabilities relating to covered benefits and labor matters with respect to individuals who were employed by Host Marriott or its affiliates before they became employed by Crestline or its affiliates ("Transferred Employees") and we assume certain other liabilities relating to employee benefits and labor matters. The 1998 Employee Benefits Allocation Agreement also governs the treatment of awards under the Host Marriott Corporation 1997 Comprehensive Stock Incentive Plan, formerly called the Host Marriott Corporation 1993 Comprehensive Stock Incentive Plan (the "Comprehensive Stock Incentive Plan"), as part of the REIT conversion. The 1998 Employee Benefits Allocation Agreement requires Crestline to establish the Crestline Capital Corporation 1998 Comprehensive Stock Incentive Plan to grant awards of Crestline common stock. Additionally, the 1998 Employee Benefits Allocation Agreement provides that we will adopt the Comprehensive Stock Incentive Plan. Comprehensive Stock Incentive Plan Host REIT sponsors the Comprehensive Stock Incentive Plan for purposes of attracting and retaining highly qualified employees. Host REIT reserved 44,442,911 shares of Host REIT common stock for issuance pursuant to the Comprehensive Stock Incentive Plan. As part of the REIT conversion, we adopted the Comprehensive Stock Incentive Plan. Shares of Host Marriott common stock issued or reserved under the Comprehensive Stock Incentive Plan before the REIT conversion have been exchanged for Host REIT Common Shares and Crestline common stock, according to the terms of the 1998 Employee Benefits Allocation Agreement. Under the terms of the Comprehensive Stock Incentive Plan, we may award eligible full-time employees (1) options to purchase Host REIT common stock, (2) deferred shares of Host REIT common stock, (3) restricted shares of Host REIT common stock, (4) stock appreciation rights, (5) special recognition awards or (6) other equity-based awards, including but not limited to, phantom shares of Host REIT common stock, 76 performance shares of Host REIT common stock, bonus shares of Host REIT common stock, dividend equivalent units or similar securities or rights. The awarding of options to purchase Host REIT common stock under the Comprehensive Stock Incentive Plan is expected to continue. Options granted to our officers and key employees or officers and key employees of Host REIT will have an exercise price of not less than the fair market value on the date of grant. Incentive stock options granted under the Comprehensive Stock Incentive Plan expire no later than 10 years after the date of grant and non-qualified stock options expire up to 15 years after the date of grant. Under the terms of the Comprehensive Stock Incentive Plan, Host REIT may award deferred shares of Host REIT common stock to eligible full-time employees. Deferred shares may be granted as part of a bonus award or deferred stock agreement. Host REIT intends to award deferred shares of Host REIT Common Shares under the Comprehensive Stock Incentive Plan. Deferred shares generally vest over ten years in annual installments commencing one year after the date of grant. The Comprehensive Stock Incentive Plan also provides for the issuance of restricted shares of Host REIT common stock to officers and key executives to be distributed over the next three or five years in annual installments based on continued employment and the attainment of certain performance criteria. Under the terms of the Comprehensive Stock Incentive Plan, Host REIT may grant bonus awards to eligible full-time employees. Bonus awards may be part of a management incentive program which pays part of the annual performance bonus awarded to managers and other key employees in shares of Host REIT common stock. A bonus award entitles the holder to receive a distribution of Host REIT common stock in accordance with the underlying agreement. Holders of bonus awards vest in the shares covered by their award over ten years in annual installments commencing one year after grant. Unless the holder of a bonus award elects otherwise, vested shares are distributed in 10 consecutive, approximately equal, annual installments. The Comprehensive Stock Incentive Plan authorizes Host REIT to grant SARs to eligible full-time employees. SARs awarded under the Comprehensive Stock Incentive Plan give the holder the right to an amount equal to the appreciation in the value of the Host REIT common stock over a specified price. SARs may be paid in the Host REIT common stock, cash or other form or combination form of payout. Under the Comprehensive Stock Incentive Plan, Host REIT may award an eligible full-time employee or officer a Special Recognition Award. Special Recognition Awards may be paid in the form of Host REIT common stock or an option to purchase Host REIT common stock at an amount not less than fair market value on the date of grant. Stock Purchase Plan Host REIT sponsors the Host Marriott, L.P. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Stock Purchase Plan"). Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Plan, an individual who is: (1) an active eligible employee on the last day of the prior plan year, (2) working more than 20 hours per week and (3) customarily employed more than five months in a calendar year may, at the end of the plan year, purchase Host common stock through contributions or payroll deductions at the lower of 90% of the fair market value on the first or last day of such plan year. A participant may elect to contribute up to 10% of his compensation per year. 401(k) Plan Host REIT sponsors the Host Marriott, L.P. Retirement and Saving Plan (the "401(k) Plan"). The 401(k) Plan has received a favorable ruling from the IRS as to its tax-qualified status. We assumed the 401(k) Plan as part of the REIT conversion. The 401(k) Plan is available to all eligible employees immediately upon their date 77 of hire. A participant may elect to contribute from 1% to 15% of his compensation to the 401(k) Plan. Each year, we will make a fixed matching contribution equal to 50% of the first 6% of the compensation contributed to the 401(k) Plan by employees. In addition, we may make a discretionary contribution, in an amount, if any, determined annually by the Board of our general partner (Host REIT) to the 401(k) Plan for the benefit of eligible employees. Under the terms of the 401(k) Plan, participants may elect to invest part or all of their plan benefits in Host REIT common stock. As part of the REIT conversion, all shares of Host Marriott common stock held under the 401(k) Plan have been converted to Host REIT Common Shares and Crestline common stock. Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan Host REIT sponsors the Host Marriott Corporation Non-Employee Directors' Deferred Stock Compensation Plan (the "Deferred Compensation Plan") for purposes for attracting and retaining qualified non-employee Directors. Under the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan, a non-employee Director may elect to defer payment of part or all of his or her Directors' fees from Host REIT until such individual is no longer a member of the Board. Currently, fees that are deferred under the Deferred Compensation Plan are converted into shares of Host REIT common stock using the fair market value of such shares on the date of deferral. In addition, the Deferred Compensation Plan provides for annual grants of deferred shares of Host REIT common stock equal to the amount of the annual cash retainer fee paid to non-employee Directors. This award is distributed immediately following each annual meeting. The Deferred Compensation Plan also permits participants to be credited with dividend equivalents which are equal in value to the dividends paid on Host REIT common stock. Limitation of Liability and Indemnification The MGCL permits a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a provision limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the corporation 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) acts committed in bad faith or active and deliberate dishonesty established by a final judgment as being material to the cause of action. The charter of Host REIT contains such a provision which eliminates such liability to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law. The charter of Host REIT 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 (1) any present or former director or officer or (2) any individual who, while a director of Host REIT and at the request of Host REIT, serves or has served another corporation, real estate investment trust, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or any 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 or her status as a present or former Director or officer of Host REIT. The bylaws of Host REIT 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 director or officer who is made party to the proceeding by reason of his service in that capacity or (b) any individual who, while a director or officer of Host REIT and at the request of Host REIT, serves or has served another corporation, real estate investment trust, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or any other enterprise as a trustee, director, officer or partner of such corporation, real estate investment trust, 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, against any claim or liability to which he may become subject by reason of such status. The charter and bylaws also permit Host REIT to indemnify and advance expenses to any person who served as a predecessor of Host REIT in any of the capacities described above and to any employee or agent of Host REIT or a predecessor of Host REIT. The bylaws require Host REIT to indemnify a director 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. 78 The MGCL permits a Maryland corporation to indemnify and advance expenses to its directors, officers, employees and agents. 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, under the MGCL, 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 Host REIT require it, as a condition to advancing expenses, to obtain (1) 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 Host REIT as authorized by the bylaws and (2) a written statement by or on his behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by Host REIT if it is ultimately determined that the standard of conduct was not met. The Host Marriott, L.P. Partnership Agreement also provides for indemnification of Host REIT and its officers and trustees to the same extent that indemnification is provided to officers and directors of Host REIT in its charter, and limits the liability of Host REIT and its officers and directors to Host Marriott, L.P. and its respective partners to the same extent that the liability of the officers and directors of Host REIT to Host REIT and its shareholders is limited under Host REIT's charter. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Host REIT has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. Indemnification Agreements Each of Host REIT and Host Marriott, L.P. have entered into or will enter into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and officers, as applicable. The indemnification agreements require, among other things, that Host REIT and/or Host Marriott, L.P. indemnify their directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law and advance to their directors and officers all related expenses, subject to reimbursement if it is subsequently determined that indemnification is not permitted. 79 CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS Relationships Between Host REIT, Host Marriott, L.P. and Marriott International Host Marriott (Host REIT's predecessor) and Marriott International, prior to October 8, 1993, were operated as a single consolidated company. On October 8, 1993 in connection with the issuance of a special dividend, the consolidated company's businesses were split between Host Marriott Corporation and Marriott International. Thereafter, Host Marriott retained the lodging real estate business and the airport/tollroad concessions business, while Marriott International took over the management of the lodging and service management businesses. On December 29, 1995, Host Marriott distributed its airport/toll road concession business to its stockholders. Distribution Agreement and Related Agreement In connection with the Marriott International distribution, Host Marriott and Marriott International entered into a distribution agreement, which provided for, among other things, (1) the division between Host Marriott and Marriott International of certain liabilities and (2) certain other agreements governing the relationship between Host Marriott and Marriott International following the Marriott International distribution. Under the Marriott International distribution agreement, which has been amended from time to time, Marriott International obtained a purchase right which provided Marriott International with the right, until June 2017, to purchase up to 20% of each class of Host Marriott's voting stock (determined after assuming full exercise of the right) at its then fair market value (based on an average of trading prices during a specified period), upon the occurrence of certain specified events generally involving a change in control of Host Marriott. The Marriott International purchase right could be exercised for a 30-day period following the date a person or group of affiliated persons has (1) become the beneficial owner of 20% or more of the total voting power of the then outstanding shares of Host Marriott's voting stock or (2) announced a tender offer for 30% more of the total voting power of the then outstanding shares of Host Marriott common stock. The Marriott International purchase right continues in effect with respect to Host REIT as to Host REIT's common stock, subject to the following limitations intended to protect the REIT status of Host REIT. The Marriott International purchase right will be exercisable only to the extent that neither (1) Marriott International, or any entity in which it has a direct or indirect interest (and which would be deemed, under the applicable attribution rules, to own the shares of Host REIT owned by Marriott International) would, as a result of such exercise, own, taking into account the applicable attribution rules, more than 9.8% of both Host REIT and Crestline, any subsidiary of Crestline or any other tenant of Host REIT nor (2) any owners of direct or indirect interests in Marriott International would, as a result of such exercise, own, taking into account the applicable attribution rules, more than 9.8% of both Host REIT and Crestline, any subsidiary of Crestline or any other tenant of Host REIT. In addition to the foregoing limitation, in the event Host Marriott, L.P. is or would be considered a "publicly traded partnership" within the meaning of the code, the Marriott International purchase right will be exercisable only if such acquisition and ownership of Host REIT common stock would not cause Host Marriott, L.P. to be considered to own, directly or by attribution, 10% or more of Crestline, any subsidiary of Crestline or any other tenant of Host REIT (taking into account the applicable attribution rules and any stock of Crestline that the operating partnership is deemed to own under the attribution rules by reason of the ownership of an interest in Host Marriott, L.P. by the Blackstone Entities). In addition, Host Marriott and Marriott International entered into a number of other agreements in connection with the Marriott International distribution, including (1) a tax sharing agreement that defines the parties' rights and obligations with respect to deficiencies and refunds of federal, state and other income or franchise taxes relating to Host Marriott's businesses for tax years prior to the Marriott International distribution and with respect to certain tax attributes of Host Marriott after the Marriott International distribution; (2) a noncompetition agreement that defines the parties' rights and obligations with respect to certain businesses operated by Marriott International, which expires on October 8, 2000; and (3) agreements under which Marriott International would guarantee Host Marriott's performance in connection with certain 80 partnership, real estate and project loans and other obligations. Host Marriott, L.P. assumed the liabilities of Host Marriott under each of these agreements with Marriott International. Acquisition Financing Marriott International has also provided, and Host REIT expects that Marriott International in the future may provide, financing for a portion of the cost of acquiring properties to be operated or franchised by Marriott International. In 1999 Marriott International did not provide any new acquisition financing, although a non-controlled subsidiary of Host Marriott remained indebted to Marriott International for acquisition financing from prior years. The amount of such indebtedness at December 31, 1999 was $38 million. Lodging Management and Franchise Agreements Marriott International and certain of its subsidiaries have entered into management agreements with us and certain of our subsidiaries to manage for fees the Marriott Hotels, Resorts and Suites, Ritz-Carlton hotels, Courtyard hotels and Residence Inns owned or leased by us and our subsidiaries. Marriott International has also entered into franchise agreements with us and certain of our subsidiaries. The franchise agreements allow us to use the Marriott brand, associated trademarks, reservation systems and other related items in connection with 9 Marriott hotels for which we have entered into operating agreements with hotel management companies other than Marriott International. These agreements reflect market terms and conditions and are substantially the same as agreements of similar types with other third-party owners. As a result of the REIT conversion, however, we have assigned the management agreements and franchise agreements to Crestline. Consequently, it is Crestline's primary obligation to pay Marriott International the management fees and franchise fees owed under these agreements as long as Crestline remains the lessee for hotels governed by these agreements. In addition, certain of our non-controlled subsidiaries are partners in several unconsolidated partnerships that owned 226 lodging properties, although 11 of those properties were sold during 1999. These properties are operated by Marriott International or certain of its subsidiaries under long-term agreements. Our non-controlled subsidiaries typically serve as the general partners in such partnerships. In 1999, those unconsolidated partnerships paid fees of $119 million to Marriott International under those agreements. The partnerships also paid $22 million in rent to Marriott International in 1999 for leases of land upon which certain of the partnerships' hotels are located. J.W. Marriott, Jr. and Richard E. Marriott beneficially own approximately 10.8% and 10.6%, respectively, of the outstanding shares of common stock of Marriott International. By reason of their ownership of such shares of common stock of Marriott International and their positions as Chairman and a Director, respectively, of Marriott International, J.W. Marriott, Jr. and Richard E. Marriott, who is also a Director and Chairman, respectively, of Host REIT, could be deemed in control of Marriott International within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Other members of the Marriott family might also be deemed control persons of Marriott International by reason of their ownership of shares of Marriott International and/or their relationship to other family members. Relationships Between Host REIT, Host Marriott, L.P. and Crestline For the purposes of governing certain of the ongoing relationships between Crestline and Host REIT, Crestline, Host REIT and Host Marriott, L.P. have entered into various agreements in addition to the leases, as described below. On November 13, 2000, we announced the execution of a definitive agreement with Crestline for the purchase and sale, effective January 1, 2001, of the entities owning the leasehold interests with respect to 117 of our full-service hotels for approximately $205 million. The agreement includes arrangements for the amendment, supplement or termination of the various agreements described below. There can be no assurance that the transaction we will be completed. 81 Distribution Agreement As part of the REIT conversion, Crestline and Host REIT entered into a distribution agreement which provided for, among other things: . the distribution of shares of Crestline to the stockholders of Host REIT in connection with the Crestline distribution; . the division of certain assets and liabilities between Crestline and Host REIT; . the contribution to Crestline of Host REIT's interest in 31 senior living communities; . the transfer to Crestline of the 25% interest in Swissotel Management (USA) L.L.C. which Host REIT acquired from the Blackstone Entities; . a guarantee by Host REIT on certain Crestline debt obligations; . the contingent right for a period of ten years to purchase Crestline's interest in Swissotel Management (USA) L.L.C. at fair market value if the tax laws are changed so that Host REIT could own such interest without jeopardizing its status as a REIT; and . certain other agreements governing the relationship between Crestline and Host REIT following the Crestline distribution. Subject to certain exceptions, the distribution agreement provides for, among other things, assumptions of liabilities and cross-indemnities designed to allocate to Crestline financial responsibilities for liabilities arising out of or in connection with the business of the senior living communities. The changes in the tax laws resulting from the passage of the REIT Modernization Act would not permit us to acquire Crestline's 25% interest in Swissotel Management (USA) L.L.C. Hotel Leases We and our subsidiaries have entered into hotel leases with subsidiaries of Crestline for 122 full-service hotels. In 1999, we sold five of the leased full-service hotels, and we agreed with Crestline to terminate the leases reducing the number of hotels leased from us to 117 full-service hotels. Each hotel lease has a fixed term generally ranging from seven to ten years. Crestline is required to pay: . a minimum rent specified in each hotel lease; . plus, to the extent it exceeds the minimum rent, a percentage rent based upon a specified percentage of aggregate sales from the hotels in excess of specified thresholds. The amount of minimum rent and percentage rent thresholds will be increased each year based upon any increases in the Consumer Price Index and the Employment Cost Index during the previous twelve months. The hotel leases will generally provide for a rent adjustment in the event of damage, destruction, partial taking or certain capital expenditures. In 1999, Crestline paid us an aggregate amount of $1.253 billion in rent for the hotels leased by us to Crestline. Under the hotel leases, Crestline is responsible for paying all hotel operating expenses, including all personnel costs, utility costs, and general repair and maintenance of the hotels. In addition, Crestline is responsible for all fees payable to the hotel manager, including base and incentive management fees, chain services payments and franchise or system fees. However, we remain responsible for real estate and personal property taxes, property casualty insurance, ground lease rent and capital expenditures and for maintaining a reserve fund for furnishings, fixtures and equipment replacements. 82 If we dispose of a hotel free and clear of the hotel lease, we have to pay a termination fee equal to the fair market value of Crestline's leasehold interest in the remaining term of the hotel lease using a discount rate of 12%. Alternatively, we are entitled either to: . substitute a comparable hotel for any hotel that is sold, with the terms agreed to by Crestline; or . sell the hotel subject to the hotel lease and to Crestline's approval under certain circumstances, but without having to pay a termination fee. In addition, we have the right to terminate up to 12 hotel leases, in connection with sales of hotels, without having to pay any termination fees. During 1999, we exercised our right to terminate five hotel leases without paying termination fees for five leased hotels that were sold during 1999, although only three of such terminations counted against our right to terminate 12 hotel leases as described above. At the same time, Crestline may terminate up to 12 full-service leases without penalty upon 180 days' notice to us. During 1999 and 2000, Crestline exercised its right to terminate seven hotel leases, but we subsequently agreed with Crestline to continue all of these leases on modified terms. See "Business and Properties--The Leases" for a more complete description of our hotel leases with Crestline. As a result of the passage of the REIT Modernization Act, and under the terms of the leases for our hotels with Crestline subsidiaries, we have the right to purchase the leases from Crestline on or after January 1, 2001. On November 13, 2000, we announced the execution of a definitive agreement with Crestline for the purchase and sale of the entities owning the leasehold interests with respect to 117 of our full-service hotels. Under the terms of the transaction, our newly created wholly-owned subsidiary, which will elect to be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary, will purchase certain Crestline subsidiaries, whose primary assets are the leasehold interests, for approximately $205 million. There can be no assurances that the purchase will be consummated. For a discussion of the REIT Modernization Act and our agreement with Crestline, see "Business and Properties--The REIT Conversion." Furnishings, Fixtures and Equipment Leases In connection with the Crestline distribution, if the total average tax basis of an individual hotel's FF&E and other personal property exceeded 15% of the aggregate average tax basis of the hotel's real and personal property, there was excess FF&E. In these cases, subsidiaries of Crestline and non- controlled subsidiaries of ours entered into lease agreements for the excess FF&E. The terms of the FF&E leases generally range from two to three years and rent under the FF&E leases is a fixed amount. Crestline will have the option at the expiration of the lease term either to: . renew the FF&E leases for consecutive one year renewal terms at a fair market rental rate; or . purchase the excess FF&E for a price equal to its fair market value. If Crestline does not exercise its purchase or renewal option, it must pay a termination fee equal to approximately one month's rent. In 1999, Crestline paid our non-controlled subsidiaries an aggregate amount of $23 million in rent under the FF&E leases. Tax Sharing Agreement Crestline and Host REIT are parties to a tax sharing agreement which defines each party's rights and obligations with respect to deficiencies and refunds of federal, state and other income or franchise taxes relating to Crestline's business for taxable years prior to the distribution of Crestline share of Host REIT's stockholders and with respect to certain tax attributes of Crestline after such distribution. Generally, Host REIT will be responsible for filing consolidated returns and paying taxes for periods through the date of the distribution, and Crestline will be responsible for filing returns and paying taxes for subsequent periods. 83 Asset Management Agreement Host Marriott, L.P. and a Non-Controlled Subsidiary entered into asset management agreements with Crestline pursuant to which Crestline agrees to provide review and advice on the management and operation of our hotels. Generally, Crestline will provide the following consulting services: . review of operating and financial results (including site visits) and meet with Host Marriott, L.P. and the non-controlled subsidiaries, as applicable, at least quarterly, to review such results of the hotels; . review of financial statements and budgets, including periodic accounting statements, annual operating budgets, FF&E budgets and management analysis reports; . review of revenue and capital spending projections; . administration of approvals relating to the operation of the hotel required under any related loan documents; . advice relating to any changes to the hotel management agreements; . review of market conditions and competition for each of the hotels; . monitoring and negotiating with governmental agencies in connection with any condemnation proceedings against the hotels; and . monitoring and negotiating with insurance companies and contractors following a casualty at a hotel. Crestline was paid a fee of $4.5 million in 1999 for its consulting services under the asset management agreements, which was allocated between Host Marriott, L.P. and the non-controlled subsidiary. The asset management agreements have a term of two years with an automatic one year renewal, unless earlier terminated by either party in accordance with the terms thereof. Non-Competition Agreement Crestline, Host REIT and Host Marriott, L.P. entered into a non-competition agreement that limits the respective parties' future business opportunities. See "Business and Properties--Noncompetition Agreements." Guarantee and Pooling Agreements Crestline and certain of its subsidiaries entered into guarantees of the lease obligations of each lessee. See "Business and Properties--The Leases." 1998 Employee Benefits Allocation Agreement As part of the REIT conversion, Host REIT, Host Marriott, L.P. and Crestline entered into the 1998 Employee Benefits and Other Employment Matters Allocation Agreement relating to various compensation, benefits and labor matters. See "Management--1998 Employee Benefit Allocation Agreement." Relationship between Host REIT, Host Marriott, L.P. and Blackstone Entities In conjunction with the REIT conversion, in December 1998 we acquired 12 upscale and luxury full-service hotels, a mortgage loan secured by a thirteenth hotel, and certain other assets from The Blackstone Group L.P. and a series of partnerships, persons and other entities affiliated with Blackstone Real Estate Associates. We refer to this group of entities as the Blackstone Entities. As part of the Blackstone acquisition, Host Marriott, L.P. and Host REIT entered into a contribution agreement with the Blackstone Entities. This agreement provides that an affiliate of the Blackstone Entities will have the right to designate one person to be included in the slate of Directors nominated for election to Host REIT's Board of Directors as long as the Blackstone Entities own at least 5% of all of the outstanding operating partnership units (including those operating partnership units held by Host REIT and its subsidiaries). The Blackstone Entities designated John G. Schreiber, who is a senior advisor and partner of Blackstone Real Estate Advisors L.P., an affiliate of the Blackstone Entities. Mr. Schreiber has served on the Host REIT Board of Directors since 1998. 84 In addition, the Blackstone contribution agreement provides that OP Units beneficially owned by the Blackstone Entities (and their permitted transferees) are redeemable for cash or, at Host REIT's election, for Host REIT common stock. Host REIT has granted to the Blackstone Entities (and their permitted transferees) certain registration rights with respect to shares of Host REIT common stock obtained upon conversion of the Blackstone OP Units. The Blackstone contribution agreement also grants the Blackstone Entities an exemption from the ownership limitations contained in our partnership agreement. It also contains standstill provisions which prohibit the Blackstone Entities from engaging in certain activities with respect to Host REIT and that Host Marriott, L.P. For example, the Blackstone Entities may not take any actions in opposition to Host REIT's Board of Directors. In addition, the Blackstone Entities' ability to acquire and dispose of our voting securities is restricted. In addition to the contribution agreement, Host Marriott, L.P. and Host REIT entered into another agreement with the Blackstone Entities which restricts our ability, without the consent of the Blackstone Entities, to transfer our interests in the hotels and other assets acquired form the Blackstone Entities if such a transfer would create adverse tax consequences to the Blackstone Entities. These restrictions terminate on December 30, 2003 with respect to 50% of the assets acquired from the Blackstone Entities, and they terminate in their entirety on the earlier of (i) December 30, 2008 or (ii) the date on which the Blackstone Entities have redeemed all of their OP Units pursuant to the contribution agreement. Investment in STSN, Inc. STSN, Inc. is a privately held company that is a leading provider of in- room, high-speed Internet access to the lodging industry. Marriott International has selected STSN as the exclusive provider of high-speed Internet access at hotels managed by Marriott International, including those owned by Host Marriott, L.P. and its subsidiaries. In September 2000, one of our non-controlled subsidiaries acquired an approximate 4% interest in the equity of STSN from an affiliate of First Media Corporation for a purchase price of $4.5 million. First Media is a corporation of which Richard E. Marriott is an officer, director and controlling shareholder. The purchase price was at the same cost as First Media's original investment in STSN in December 1999, plus investment costs and accrued interest through September 2000. 85 THE EXCHANGE OFFER Purpose and effect We sold the Series F senior notes on October 6, 2000. In connection with that issuance, we entered into the registration rights agreement, which requires us to file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to the Series G senior notes. Upon the effectiveness of that registration statement, we are required to offer to the holders of the Series F senior notes the opportunity to exchange their Series F senior notes for a like principal amount of Series G senior notes, which will be issued without a restrictive legend and which generally may be reoffered and resold by the holder without registration under the Securities Act. The registration rights agreement further provides that we must use our reasonable best efforts to consummate the exchange offer on or before the 190th day following the date on which we issued the Series F senior notes. Except as provided below, upon the completion of the exchange offer, our obligations with respect to the registration of the Series F senior notes and the Series G senior notes will terminate. A copy of the registration rights agreement has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and the summary in this prospectus of its material provisions is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual agreement. Except as set forth below, following the completion of the exchange offer holders of Series F senior notes not tendered will not have any further registration rights and those Series F senior notes will continue to be subject to restrictions on transfer. Accordingly, the liquidity of the market for the Series F senior notes could be adversely affected upon consummation of the exchange offer. In order to participate in the exchange offer, you must represent to us, among other things, that: . the Series G senior notes you acquire pursuant to the exchange offer are being obtained in the ordinary course of your business; . you are not engaging in and do not intend to engage in a distribution of the Series G senior notes; . you do not have an arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution of the Series G senior notes; and . you are not our "affiliate," as defined under Securities Act Rule 405. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement we will be required to file a "shelf" registration statement for a continuous offering pursuant to Securities Act Rule 415 in respect of the Series F senior notes if: . we determine that we are not permitted to effect the exchange offer as contemplated hereby because of any change in applicable law or Securities and Exchange Commission policy; or . we have commenced and not consummated the exchange offer within 190 days following the date on which we issued the Series F senior notes for any reason. Other than as set forth above, no holder will have the right to participate in the shelf registration statement or to otherwise require that we register their Series F senior notes under the Securities Act. Based on an interpretation by the SEC Staff set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties unrelated to us, we believe that, with the exceptions set forth below, Series G senior notes issued to you pursuant to the exchange offer in exchange for Series F senior notes may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by you, unless you are our "affiliate" within the meaning of Securities Act Rule 405 or a broker-dealer who purchased unregistered notes directly from us to resell pursuant to Rule 144A or any other available exemption promulgated under the Securities Act, without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act; provided that the Series G senior notes are acquired in the ordinary course of business of the holder and the holder does not have an arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of Series G senior notes. 86 If you tender in the exchange offer for the purpose of participating in a distribution of the Series G senior notes, you cannot rely on this interpretation by the SEC Staff and you must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction. If you are a broker-dealer that receives Series G senior notes for your own account in exchange for Series G senior notes, where those notes were acquired by you as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, you must acknowledge that you will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Series G senior notes. If you are a broker-dealer who acquired Series F senior notes directly from us and not as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, you may not rely on the Staff's interpretations discussed above or participate in the exchange offer and must comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in order to sell the Series G senior notes. Consequences of failure to exchange Following the completion of the exchange offer, you will not have any further registration rights for Series F senior notes that you did not tender. All Series F senior notes not tendered in the exchange offer will continue to be subject to restrictions on transfer. Accordingly, the liquidity of the market for Series F senior notes could be adversely affected upon completion of the exchange offer. Terms of the exchange offer Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal, we will accept any and all Series F senior notes validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on [ ], 2000, or such date and time to which we extend the offer. We will issue $1,000 principal amount of Series G senior notes in exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of outstanding Series F senior notes accepted in the exchange offer. Holders may tender some or all of their Series F senior notes pursuant to the exchange offer. However, Series F senior notes may be tendered only in integral multiples of $1,000 in principal amount. The form and terms of the Series G senior notes are substantially the same as the form and terms of the Series F senior notes except that the Series G senior notes have been registered under the Securities Act and will not bear legends restricting their transfer. The Series G senior notes will evidence the same debt as the Series F senior notes and will be issued pursuant to, and entitled to the benefits of, the same indenture pursuant to which the Series F senior notes were issued. As of the date of this prospectus, Series F senior notes representing $250 million in aggregate principal amount were outstanding and there was one registered holder, a nominee of the DTC. This prospectus, together with the letter of transmittal, is being sent to that registered holder and to you and others based on our belief that you have beneficial interests in the Series F senior notes. We intend to conduct the exchange offer in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations of the SEC. We will be deemed to have accepted validly tendered Series F senior notes when, as, and if we have given oral or written notice thereof to the exchange agent. The exchange agent will act as your agent for the purpose of receiving the Series G senior notes from us. If any of your tendered Series F senior notes are not accepted for exchange because of an invalid tender, the occurrence of the other events set forth in this prospectus or otherwise, certificates for any such unaccepted Series F senior notes will be returned, without expense, to you as promptly as practicable after [ ], 2000, unless we extend the exchange offer. If you tender Series F senior notes in the exchange offer, you will not be required to pay brokerage commissions or fees or, subject to the instructions in the letter of transmittal, transfer taxes with respect to the exchange of Series F senior notes pursuant to the exchange offer. We will pay all charges and expenses, other than certain applicable taxes, in connection with the exchange offer. 87 Expiration date; extensions; amendments The expiration date will be 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on [ ], 2000, unless, in our sole discretion, we extend the exchange offer, in which case the expiration date will mean the latest date and time to which the exchange offer is extended. In order to extend the exchange offer, we will notify the exchange agent of any extension by oral or written notice prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the previously scheduled expiration date. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion: . to delay accepting any Series F senior notes, to extend the exchange offer or, if any of the conditions to the exchange offer set forth below under "--Conditions to Exchange Offer" have not been satisfied, to terminate the exchange offer, by giving oral or written notice of such delay, extension or termination to the exchange agent; or . to amend the terms of the exchange offer in any manner. In the event that we make a material or fundamental change to the terms of the exchange offer, we will file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement. Procedures for tendering Only a holder of Series F senior notes may tender the Series F senior notes in the exchange offer. To tender in the exchange offer you must either (1) complete, sign, and date the letter of transmittal, or a copy thereof, have the signatures thereon guaranteed if required by the letter of transmittal, and mail or otherwise deliver the letter of transmittal or copy to the exchange agent prior to the expiration date or (2) comply with the book-entry requirements which are discussed below under "--Book Entry Transfer". In addition: . certificates for Series F senior notes must be received by the exchange agent along with the letter of transmittal prior to the expiration date; . a timely confirmation of a book-entry transfer of those Series F senior notes, if that procedure is available, into the exchange agent's account at DTC pursuant to the procedure for book-entry transfer described below, must be received by the exchange agent on or prior to the expiration date; or . you must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures described below. To be tendered effectively, the letter of transmittal and other required documents must be received by the exchange agent on or prior to the expiration date. Its address is given below under "--Exchange Agent". A tender of your Series F senior notes that is not withdrawn before the expiration date will constitute an agreement between you and us in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal. The method of delivery of Series F senior notes and the letter of transmittal and all other required documents to the exchange agent is at your election and risk. Instead of delivery by mail, we recommend that you use an overnight or hand delivery service. In all cases, you should allow sufficient time to assure delivery to the exchange agent before the expiration date. You should not send any letter of transmittal or Series F senior notes to us. You may request your respective brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies or nominees to effect these transactions for you. If you are a beneficial owner whose Series F senior notes are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and you wish to tender, you should contact the registered holder promptly and instruct the registered holder to tender on your behalf. If you wish to tender on your own behalf, you must, prior to completing and executing the letter of transmittal and delivering your Series F senior notes, either make appropriate arrangements to register ownership of the unregistered notes in your name or obtain a properly completed bond power from the registered holder. The transfer of registered ownership may take considerable time. 88 Signatures on a letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as the case may be, must be guaranteed by an eligible institution unless the Series F senior notes tendered pursuant thereto are tendered: . by a registered holder who has not completed the box entitled "Special Registration Instruction" or "Special Delivery Instructions" on the letter of transmittal; or . for the account of an eligible institution. If signatures on a letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as the case may be, are required to be guaranteed, the guarantee must be by any eligible guarantor institution that is a member of, or participant in, the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program, the New York Stock Exchange Medallion Signature Program or an "eligible guarantor institution" within the meaning of Rule 17Ad-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, referred to as an "eligible institution". If the letter of transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered holder of any Series F senior notes listed therein, the Series F senior notes must be endorsed or accompanied by a properly completed bond power, signed by the registered holder as that registered holder's name appears on the Series F senior notes. If the letter of transmittal or any Series F senior notes or bond powers are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing, and evidence satisfactory to us of their authority to so act must be submitted with the letter of transmittal unless waived by us. All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt), acceptance and withdrawal of tendered Series F senior notes will be determined by us in our sole discretion, which determination will be final and binding. We reserve the absolute right to reject any and all Series F senior notes not properly tendered or any Series F senior notes that would, in the opinion of counsel, be unlawful to accept. We also reserve the right to waive any defects, irregularities or conditions of tender as to particular Series F senior notes. Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the exchange offer (including the instructions in the letter of transmittal) will be final and binding on all parties. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of Series F senior notes must be cured within such time as we will determine. Although we intend to notify you of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of Series F senior notes, neither we, the exchange agent, nor any other person will incur any liability for failure to give such notification. Your tender of Series F senior notes will not be deemed to have been made until such defects or irregularities have been cured or waived. Any Series F senior notes received by the exchange agent that are not properly tendered and as to which the defects or irregularities have not been cured or waived will be returned by the exchange agent to you, unless otherwise provided in the letter of transmittal, as soon as practicable following [ ], 2000, unless we extend the exchange offer. In addition, we reserve the right in our sole discretion to purchase or make offers for any Series F senior notes that remain outstanding after the expiration date or to terminate the exchange offer and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, purchase Series F senior notes in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. The terms of any such purchases or offers could differ from the terms of the exchange offer. In all cases, issuance of Series G senior notes for Series F senior notes that are accepted for exchange pursuant to the exchange offer will be made only after timely receipt by the exchange agent of certificates for the notes or a timely book-entry confirmation of such Series F senior notes into the exchange agent's account at DTC, a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal (or, with respect to the DTC and its participants, electronic instructions in which you acknowledge your receipt of and agreement to be bound by the letter of transmittal) and all other required documents. If any tendered Series F senior notes are not accepted for any reason set forth in the terms and conditions of the exchange offer or if unregistered notes are submitted for a greater principal amount than you desire to exchange, such unaccepted or non- exchanged notes will be returned without expense to you (or, in the case of Series F senior notes tendered by book-entry transfer 89 into the exchange agent's account at the DTC pursuant to the book-entry transfer procedures described below, such nonexchanged notes will be credited to an account maintained with DTC) as promptly as practicable after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer. If you are a broker-dealer that receives Series G senior notes for your own account in exchange for Series F senior notes, where your Series F senior notes were acquired by you as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, you must acknowledge that you will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of those Series G senior notes. Book-entry transfer The exchange agent will make a request to establish an account in respect of the Series F senior notes at DTC for purposes of the exchange offer within two business days after the date of this prospectus, and any financial institution that is a participant in DTC's systems may make book-entry delivery of Series F senior notes being tendered by causing DTC to transfer the Series F senior notes into the exchange agent's account at DTC in accordance with its transfer procedures. However, although delivery of Series F senior notes may be effected through book-entry transfer at DTC, the letter of transmittal or copy thereof, with any required signature guarantees and any other required documents, must, in any case other than as set forth in the following paragraph, be transmitted to and received by the exchange agent on or prior to the expiration date or the guaranteed delivery procedures described below must be complied with. DTC's Automated Tender Offer Program, or "ATOP", is the only method of processing exchange offers through DTC. To accept the exchange offer through ATOP, participants in DTC must send electronic instructions to DTC through DTC's communication system in lieu of sending a signed, hard copy letter of transmittal. DTC is obligated to communicate those electronic instructions to the exchange agent. To tender Series F senior notes through ATOP, the electronic instructions sent to DTC and transmitted by DTC to the exchange agent must contain the character by which the participant acknowledges its receipt of and agrees to be bound by the letter of transmittal. Guaranteed delivery procedures If you are a registered holder of the Series F senior notes and you desire to tender your notes and the notes are not immediately available, or time will not permit your Series F senior notes or other required documents to reach the exchange agent before the expiration date, or the procedure for book-entry transfer cannot be completed on a timely basis, you may effect a tender if: . the tender is made through an eligible institution; . prior to the expiration date, the exchange agent receives from such eligible institution a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal (or a facsimile thereof) and notice of guaranteed delivery, substantially in the form provided by us (by telegram, telex, facsimile transmission, mail or hand delivery), setting forth your name and address and the amount of Series F senior notes tendered, stating that the tender is being made thereby and guaranteeing that within three New York Stock Exchange, Inc. trading days after the date of execution of the notice of guaranteed delivery, the certificates for all physically tendered unregistered notes, in proper form for transfer, or a book- entry confirmation, as the case may be, will be deposited by the eligible institution with the exchange agent; and . the certificates for all physically tendered Series F senior notes, in proper form for transfer, or a book-entry confirmation, as the case may be, are received by the exchange agent within three NYSE trading days after the date of execution of the notice of guaranteed delivery. Withdrawal rights You may withdraw tenders of Series F senior notes at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. 90 For a withdrawal of your tender of Series F senior notes to be effective, a written or (for DTC participants) electronic ATOP transmission notice of withdrawal must be received by the exchange agent prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. Any notice of withdrawal must: . specify the name of the person having deposited the Series F senior notes to be withdrawn; . identify the Series F senior notes to be withdrawn, including the certificate number or numbers and principal amount of the Series F senior notes; . in the case of a written notice of withdrawal, be signed in the same manner as the original signature on the letter of transmittal by which the Series F senior notes were tendered (including any required signature guarantees) or be accompanied by documents of transfer sufficient to have the trustee register the transfer of the Series F senior notes into the name of the person withdrawing the tender; and . specify the name in which any Series F senior notes are to be registered, if different from that of the person having deposited the Series F senior notes. All questions as to the validity, form, and eligibility (including time of receipt) of such notices will be determined by us. Our determination will be final and binding on all parties. Any Series F senior notes so withdrawn will be deemed not to have been validly tendered for exchange for purposes of the exchange offer. Any Series F senior notes which you tender for exchange but which are not exchanged for any reason will be returned to you without cost to you as soon as practicable after withdrawal, rejection of tender, or termination of the exchange offer. Properly withdrawn Series F senior notes may be retendered by following one of the procedures discussed above under "-- Procedures for Tendering" at any time on or prior to the expiration date. Conditions to the exchange offer Notwithstanding any other provision of the exchange offer, we are not required to accept for exchange, or to issue Series G senior notes in exchange for, any Series F senior notes and may terminate or amend the exchange offer if, at any time before the acceptance of Series F senior notes for exchange or Series G senior notes for Series F senior notes, (1) we determine that the exchange offer violates applicable law, any applicable interpretation of the staff of the Commission or any order of any governmental agency or court of competent jurisdiction, (2) any action or proceeding has been instituted or threatened in any court or before any governmental agency with respect to the exchange offer which, in our judgment, might impair our ability to proceed with the exchange offer or have a material adverse effect on us, or (3) we determine that there has been a material change in our business or financial affairs which, in our judgment, would materially impair our ability to consummate the exchange offer. The foregoing conditions are for our sole benefit and may be asserted by us regardless of the circumstances giving rise to any such condition or may be waived by us in whole or in part at any time and from time to time in our sole discretion. Our failure to exercise any of the foregoing rights at any time will not be deemed a waiver of any such right and each such right will be deemed an ongoing right which may be asserted at any time and from time to time. In addition, we will not accept for exchange any Series F senior notes tendered, and no Series G senior notes will be issued in exchange for any Series F senior notes, if at such time any stop order will be threatened or in effect with respect to the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part or the qualification of the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. In any such event we are required to use every reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal of any stop order at the earliest possible time.

The terms of the indenture include those made part of the indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The following description is a summary of the material provisions of the indenture and the related amended and restated pledge and security agreement, dated as of August 5, 1998 and amended and restated as of May 31, 2000, which governs property securing, among other things, the obligations on the notes. It does not restate those agreements in their entirety. We urge you to read the indenture and the pledge agreement because they, and not this description, define your rights as holders of these notes. You may obtain copies of the indenture and the pledge agreement from Host Marriott, L.P. upon request. The indenture is also listed as an exhibit to a registration statement on Form S-3 of HMH Properties, file no. 333-50729.

You can find the definitions of certain terms used in this description under the subheading "Certain Definitions." General The Series G senior notes will be limited to $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount and will mature on October 1, 2007. Interest on the Series G senior notes will accrue at the rate of 9 1/4% per annum and will be payable every six months in arrears on April 1 and October 1, commencing on April 1, 2001. We will make each interest payment to the holders of record of the Series G senior notes on the immediately preceding March 15 and September 15. The Series A senior notes, Series B senior notes, Series C senior notes, Series D senior notes and the Series E senior notes are, and the Series G senior notes offered hereby will be, senior, general obligations of Host Marriott, L.P. The Series A through Series F senior notes are, and the Series G senior notes offered hereby will be initially secured by a pledge of all the Capital Stock of certain of our subsidiaries, which Capital Stock also equally and ratably secures our obligation under the Credit Facility, the Series A through Series F senior notes, and certain other Indebtedness ranking on an equitable and ratable basis with the Series G senior notes. See "--Security". The Series A through Series F senior notes are, and the Series G senior notes offered hereby will be, pari passu with all of our other existing and future unsubordinated Indebtedness and will rank senior to all of our subordinated obligations. The Series A through Series F senior notes are, and the Series G senior notes offered hereby will be, jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior basis by the Subsidiary Guarantors. The Guarantee of the Subsidiary Guarantors with respect to the notes, and the pledges of equity interests, are subject to release upon satisfaction of certain conditions. Interest on any series of notes issued under the indenture is or will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The notes will be issued only in fully registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the notes will be payable at the office or agency of Host Marriott, L.P. maintained for such purpose, in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. Except as provided below, at our option payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the holders of any notes at the addresses set forth upon our registry books; provided, however, holders of certificated notes will be entitled to receive interest payments (other than at maturity) by wire transfer of immediately available funds, if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received in writing by the trustee not less than 15 days prior to the applicable interest payment date. Such wire instructions, upon receipt by the trustee, will remain in effect until revoked by such holder. No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of notes, but we may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. Until we designate otherwise our office or agency will be the corporate trust office of the trustee presently located at 140 Broadway, New York, New York 10005-1180. 93 Guarantees The Series A through Series F senior notes and the Series G senior notes offered hereby will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed as to principal, premium, if any, and interest, jointly and severally, by the Subsidiary Guarantors. If the partnership defaults in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, a guaranteed series of notes issued under the indenture when and as the same shall become due, whether upon maturity, acceleration, call for redemption, Change of Control, offer to purchase or otherwise, without the necessity of action by the trustee or any holder, the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be required promptly to make such payment in full. The indenture provides that the Subsidiary Guarantors will be released from their obligations as guarantors under such series of notes under certain circumstances. The obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors will be limited in a manner intended to avoid such obligations being construed as fraudulent conveyances under applicable law. Each current and future Restricted Subsidiary of Host Marriott, L.P. that subsequently guarantees any Indebtedness (the "Guaranteed Indebtedness") of Host Marriott, L.P. (each a "Future Subsidiary Guarantor") will be required to guarantee the Series G senior notes offered hereby and any other series of notes guaranteed under the indenture. If the Guaranteed Indebtedness is (A) pari passu in right of payment with the notes, then the guarantee of such Guaranteed Indebtedness shall be pari passu in right of payment with, or subordinated in right of payment to, the Subsidiary guarantee or (B) subordinated in right of payment to the notes, then the guarantee of such Guaranteed Indebtedness shall be subordinated in right of payment to the Subsidiary Guarantee at least to the extent that the Guaranteed Indebtedness is subordinated in right of payment to the notes. Subject to compliance with the preceding paragraph, the indenture also provides that any guarantee by a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released upon (1) the sale or other disposition of Capital Stock of the Subsidiary Guarantor, if, as a result of such sale or disposition, such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary of the partnership, (2) the consolidation or merger of any such Subsidiary Guarantor with any Person other than the partnership or a Subsidiary of the partnership, if, as a result of such consolidation or merger, such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be Subsidiary of the partnership, (3) a Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, or (4) the unconditional and complete release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its guarantee of all Guaranteed Indebtedness. Security The obligations of the operating partnership to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Series G senior notes is secured by a pledge of the Capital Stock of certain of our direct and indirect subsidiaries, which pledge is, and will be, shared equally and ratably with the credit facility, the Series A through Series F senior notes and certain other of our Indebtedness ranking pari passu in right of payment with the Series F senior notes, including, unless otherwise provided for in the applicable supplemental indenture, any series of notes issued under the indenture in the future. The indenture also provides that, unless otherwise provided in a supplemental indenture with respect to a series of notes, the Capital Stock of each Restricted Subsidiary that is subsequently pledged to secure the credit facility will also be pledged to secure each such series of notes on an equal and ratable basis with respect to the Liens securing the credit facility and any other pari passu Indebtedness secured by such Capital Stock, provided, however, that any shares of the Capital Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary will not be and will not be required to be pledged to secure any such series of notes if the pledge of or grant of a security interest in such shares is prohibited by law. Bankers Trust Company (the administrative agent under the credit facility) currently serves as the collateral agent with respect to such stock pledge, subject to replacement in certain circumstances. So long as the credit facility is in effect, the lenders under the credit facility will have the right to direct the manner and method of enforcement of remedies with respect to the stock pledge. Any proceeds realized on a sale or disposition of collateral would be applied first to expenses of, and other obligations owed to, the collateral agent, second, pro rata to outstanding principal and interest of the secured Indebtedness, and third, pro rata to other secured obligations. 94 Upon the complete and unconditional release of the pledge of any such Capital Stock in favor of the credit facility, the pledge of such Capital Stock as collateral securing the notes shall be released; provided that should the obligations of the partnership under the credit facility subsequently be secured by a pledge of such Capital Stock at any time, the partnership must cause such Capital Stock to be pledged ratably and with at least the same priority for the benefit of holders of the notes. Ranking The Series A through Series F senior notes are, and the Series G senior notes offered hereby will be, senior, general obligations of the partnership, ranking pari passu in right of payment with any other outstanding or future unsubordinated Indebtedness of the partnership, including, without limitation, the obligations of the partnership under the credit facility. The Series A through Series F senior notes are, and the Series G senior notes offered hereby will be, senior to all subordinated obligations of the partnership. Each of the Subsidiary guarantees of the Series A through Series F senior notes and any other series of guaranteed notes, including the Series G senior notes offered hereby, will rank pari passu with all current and future unsubordinated Indebtedness, and senior to all current and future subordinated Indebtedness, of the Subsidiary Guarantors. Holders of the notes will be direct creditors of the Subsidiary Guarantors by virtue of such guarantees of the notes. Optional Redemption Upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, we may redeem the notes in whole but not in part at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the Make-Whole Premium, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the applicable redemption date). No sinking fund is provided for the notes. Notice Any notice to the holders of notes of such a redemption need not set forth the redemption price of such notes but need only set forth the calculation thereof as described in the immediately preceding paragraph. The redemption price, calculated as aforesaid, should be set forth in an Officer's Certificate delivered to the trustee no later than one business day prior to the redemption date. Notices of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of notes to be redeemed at its registered address. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on notes called for redemption.

The provisions of the indenture relating to a Change of Control Triggering Event may not afford the holders protection in the event of a highly leveraged transaction, reorganization, restructuring, merger, spin-off or similar transaction that may adversely affect holders, if such transaction does not constitute a Change of Control Triggering Event, as defined. In addition, the Company may not have sufficient financial resources available to fulfill its obligation to repurchase the notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event. Any Change of Control Offer will be made in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including, if applicable, Regulation 14E under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules thereunder and all other applicable Federal and state securities laws.

(2) In addition to the foregoing limitations set forth in (1) above, except as set forth below, the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and their Restricted Subsidiaries will not Incur any Secured Indebtedness or Subsidiary Indebtedness. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if, immediately after giving effect to the Incurrence of such additional Secured Indebtedness and/or Subsidiary Indebtedness and the application of the proceeds thereof, the aggregate amount of all outstanding Secured Indebtedness and Subsidiary Indebtedness of the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and their Restricted Subsidiaries (including amounts of Refinancing Indebtedness outstanding pursuant to paragraph (4)(c) hereof or otherwise), determined on a consolidated basis (it being understood that the amounts of Secured Indebtedness and Subsidiary Indebtedness of Restricted Subsidiaries shall be consolidated with that of the Company only to the extent of the Company's proportionate interest in such Restricted Subsidiaries), without duplication, is less than or equal to 45% of Adjusted Total Assets of the Company, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur such Secured Indebtedness and/or Subsidiary Indebtedness.

(5) For purposes of determining any particular amount of Indebtedness under this covenant: (a) Indebtedness Incurred under the Credit Facility on or prior to the Issue Date shall be treated as Incurred pursuant to clause (a) of paragraph (4) of this covenant; and (b) Guarantees, Liens or obligations with respect to letters of credit supporting Indebtedness otherwise included in the determination of such particular amount shall not be included as additional Indebtedness. For purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in the above clauses, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall classify such item of Indebtedness as being Incurred under only one of such clauses. Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock of any Person that is not a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, which Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock is outstanding at the time such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (including by designation) or is merged with or into or consolidated with the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, shall be deemed to have been Incurred or issued at the time such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or is merged with or into or consolidated with the Company, or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, and Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock which is assumed at the time of the acquisition of any asset shall be deemed to have been Incurred or issued at the time of such acquisition. Limitation on Liens Neither the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, nor any Restricted Subsidiary shall secure any Indebtedness under the Credit Facility by a Lien or suffer to exist any Lien on their respective properties or assets securing Indebtedness under the Credit Facility unless effective provision is made to secure the notes equally and ratably with the Lien securing such Indebtedness for so long as Indebtedness under the Credit Facility is secured by such Lien. Limitation on Restricted Payments The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors will not, and the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors will not permit any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make a Restricted Payment if, at the time of, and after giving effect to, the proposed Restricted Payment: (1) a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; (2) the Company could not Incur at least $1.00 of Indebtedness under paragraph (a) of the "Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock" covenant; or 123 (3) the aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments (the amount, if other than in cash, the fair market value of any property used therefor) made on and after the Issue Date shall exceed the sum of, without duplication: (a) 95% of the aggregate amount of the Funds From Operations (or, if the Funds From Operations is a loss, minus 100% of the amount of such loss) accrued on a cumulative basis during the period (taken as one accounting period) beginning on the first day of the fiscal quarter in which the Issue Date occurs and ending on the last day of the last fiscal quarter preceding the Transaction Date; (b) 100% of the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds received by the Company after the Issue Date from the issuance and sale permitted by the Indenture of its Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) to a Person who is not a Subsidiary of the Company including from an issuance to a Person who is not a Subsidiary of the Company of any options, warrants or other rights to acquire Capital Stock of the Company (in each case, exclusive of any Disqualified Stock or any options, warrants or other rights that are redeemable at the option of the holder, or are required to be redeemed, prior to the Stated Maturity of the notes), and the amount of any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness subordinate in right of payment to the notes) of the Company that was issued and sold for cash upon the conversion of such Indebtedness after the Issue Date into Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company, or otherwise received as Capital Contributions; (c) an amount equal to the net reduction in Investments (other than Permitted Investments) in any Person other than a Restricted Subsidiary after the Issue Date resulting from payments of interest on Indebtedness, dividends, repayments of loans or advances, or other transfers of assets, in each case to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or from the Net Cash Proceeds from the sale of any such Investment (except, in each case, to the extent any such payment or proceeds are included in the calculation of Funds From Operations) or from designations of Unrestricted Subsidiaries or Non- Consolidated Entities as Restricted Subsidiaries (valued in each case as provided in the definition of "Investments"); (d) the fair market value of noncash tangible assets or Capital Stock (other than that of the Company or its Parent) representing interests in Persons acquired after the Issue Date in exchange for an issuance of Qualified Capital Stock; and (e) the fair market value of noncash tangible assets or Capital Stock (other than that of the Company or its Parent) representing interests in Persons contributed as a Capital Contribution to the Company after the Issue Date.

Nothing contained in this covenant shall prevent the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors or any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries from: (a) creating, incurring, assuming or suffering to exist any Permitted Liens or Liens not prohibited by the "Limitation on Liens" covenant; or (b) restricting the sale or other disposition of property or assets of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that secure Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in accordance with the terms of such Indebtedness or any related security document. Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates Neither the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, nor any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries will be permitted to, directly or indirectly, enter into, renew or extend any transaction or series of transactions 125 (including, without limitation, the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of property or assets, or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries ("Affiliate Transactions"), other than Exempted Affiliate Transactions, except upon fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary than could be obtained, at the time of such transaction or, if such transaction is pursuant to a written agreement, at the time of the execution of the agreement providing therefor, in a comparable arm's length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate. The foregoing limitation does not limit, and shall not apply to: (1) transactions approved by a majority of the Board of the Company; (2) the payment of reasonable and customary fees and expenses to members of the Board of the Company who are not employees of the Company; (3) any Restricted Payments not prohibited by the "Limitation on Restricted Payments" covenant or any payments specifically exempted from the definition of Restricted Payments; and (4) Permitted REIT Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions, other than Exempted Affiliate Transactions and any transaction or series of related transactions specified in any of clauses (2) through (4) of the preceding paragraph: (a) with an aggregate value in excess of $10 million must first be approved pursuant to a Board Resolution by a majority of the Board of the Company who are disinterested in the subject matter of the transaction; and (b) with an aggregate value in excess of $25 million, will require the Company to obtain a favorable written opinion from an independent financial advisor of national reputation as to the fairness from a financial point of view of such transaction to the Company, such Subsidiary Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary, except that in the case of a real estate transaction or related real estate transactions with an aggregate value in excess of $25 million but not in excess of $50 million, an opinion may instead be obtained from an independent, qualified real estate appraiser that the consideration received in connection with such transaction is fair to the Company, such Subsidiary Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary. Limitation on Asset Sales The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors will not, and the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors will not permit any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate any Asset Sale, unless: (1) the consideration received by the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary is at least equal to the fair market value of the assets sold or disposed of as determined by the Board of the Company, in good faith; and (2) at least 75% of the consideration received consists of cash, Cash Equivalents and/or real estate assets; provided that, with respect to the sale of one or more real estate properties, up to 75% of the consideration may consist of indebtedness of the purchaser of such real estate properties so long as such Indebtedness is secured by a first priority Lien on the real estate property or properties sold; and provided that, for purposes of this clause (2) the amount of: (a) any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness subordinated in right of payment to the notes or a Subsidiary Guarantee) that is required to be repaid or assumed (and is either repaid or assumed by the transferee of the related assets) by virtue of such Asset Sale and which is secured by a Lien on the property or assets sold; and (b) any securities or other obligations received by the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are immediately converted by the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash (or as to which the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary has received at or prior to the consummation of 126 the Asset Sale a commitment (which may be subject to customary conditions) from a nationally recognized investment, merchant or commercial bank to convert into cash within 90 days of the consummation of such Asset Sale and which are thereafter actually converted into cash within such 90-day period) will be deemed to be cash. In the event that the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds received by the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantors or such Restricted Subsidiaries from one or more Asset Sales occurring on or after the Closing Date in any period of 12 consecutive months exceed 1% of Total Assets (determined as of the date closest to the commencement of such 12 month period for which a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or provided to the trustee pursuant to the "Reports" covenant), then prior to 12 months after the date Net Cash Proceeds so received exceeded 1% of Total Assets, the Net Cash Proceeds may be: (1) invested in or committed to be invested in, pursuant to a binding commitment subject only to reasonable, customary closing conditions, and providing such Net Cash Proceeds are, in fact, so invested, within an additional 180 days: (a) fixed assets and property (other than notes, bonds, obligations and securities) which in the good faith reasonable judgment of the Board of the Company will immediately constitute or be part of a Related Business of the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary (if it continues to be a Restricted Subsidiary) immediately following such transaction; (b) Permitted Mortgage Investments; or (c) a controlling interest in the Capital Stock of an entity engaged in a Related Business; provided that concurrently with an Investment specified in clause (c), such entity becomes a Restricted Subsidiary; or (2) used to repay and permanently reduce Indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Facility (including that, in the case of a revolver or similar arrangement, such commitment is permanently reduced by such amount). Pending the application of any such Net Cash Proceeds as described above, the Company may invest such Net Cash Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by the Indenture. Any Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph (including any Net Cash Proceeds which were committed to be invested as provided in such sentence but which are not in fact invested within the time period provided) will be deemed to constitute "Excess Proceeds." Within 30 days following each date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25 million, the Company will make an offer to purchase from the holders of the notes and holders of any other Indebtedness of the Company ranking pari passu with the notes from time to time outstanding with similar provisions requiring the Company to make an offer to purchase or redeem such Indebtedness with the proceeds from such Asset Sale, on a pro rata basis, an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) of notes and such other Indebtedness equal to the Excess Proceeds on such date, at a purchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) of the notes and such other Indebtedness, plus, in each case, accrued interest (if any) to the Payment Date. To the extent that the aggregate amount of notes and other senior Indebtedness tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes. If the aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) of notes and such other Indebtedness tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the notes to be purchased and such other Indebtedness shall be selected on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of such Offer to Purchase, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. 127 Notwithstanding, and without complying with, any of the foregoing provisions: (1) the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and their respective Restricted Subsidiaries may, in the ordinary course of business, convey, sell, lease, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of inventory acquired and held for resale in the ordinary course of business; (2) the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and their respective Restricted Subsidiaries may convey, sell, lease, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of assets pursuant to and in accordance with the "Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets" and "Limitation on Merger of Subsidiary Guarantors and Release of Subsidiary Guarantors" covenants in the indenture; (3) the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and their respective Restricted Subsidiaries may sell or dispose of damaged, worn out or other obsolete property in the ordinary course of business so long as such property is no longer necessary for the proper conduct of the business of the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable; and (4) the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and their respective Restricted Subsidiaries may exchange assets held by the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary for one or more real estate properties and/or one or more Related Businesses of any Person or entity owning one or more real estate properties and/or one or more Related Businesses; provided that the Board of the Company has determined in good faith that the fair market value of the assets received by the Company are approximately equal to the fair market value of the assets exchanged by the Company. No transaction listed in clauses (1) through (4) inclusive shall be deemed to be an "Asset Sale." Limitation on Merger of Subsidiary Guarantors and Release of Subsidiary Guarantors No Subsidiary Guarantor shall consolidate or merge with or into (whether or not such Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person (other than the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor), unless: (1) subject to the provisions of the following paragraph, the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Subsidiary Guarantor) assumes all the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to a supplemental indenture in form reasonably satisfactory to the trustee, pursuant to which such Person shall unconditionally and fully guarantee, on a senior basis, all of such Subsidiary Guarantor's obligations under such Subsidiary Guarantor's Guarantee under the indenture on the terms set forth in the indenture; and (2) immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such transaction on a pro forma basis, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing. The Guarantee of the notes by a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically released upon: (a) the sale or other disposition of Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor if, as a result of such sale or disposition, such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Company; (b) the consolidation or merger of any such Subsidiary Guarantor with any Person other than the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company if, as a result of such consolidation or merger, such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be Subsidiary of the Company; (c) a Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance; or (d) the unconditional and complete release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its Guarantee of all Guaranteed Indebtedness. Limitation on Status as Investment Company The indenture prohibits the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries from being required to register as an "investment company" (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended). 128 Covenants upon Attainment and Maintenance of an Investment Grade Rating. The covenants "--Limitation on Liens," "--Limitation on Restricted Payments," "--Limitation on Dividend and other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiary Guarantors," "--Limitation on Asset Sales," and "--Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates" will not be applicable in the event, and only for so long as, the notes are rated Investment Grade. Reports Whether or not the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall deliver to the trustee and to each holder, within 15 days after it is or would have been required to file such with the Commission, annual and quarterly financial statements substantially equivalent to financial statements that would have been included in reports filed with the Commission, if the Company were subject to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, including, with respect to annual information only, a report thereon by the certified independent public accountants of the Company, as such would be required in such reports to the Commission, and, in each case, together with a management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations which would be so required. Whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the Commission, the Company will file a copy of all such information and reports with the Commission for public availability and will make such information available to securities analysts and prospective investors upon request. Events of Default An Event of Default with respect to any series of notes issued under the indenture is defined as: (1) the failure by the Company to pay any installment of interest on the notes of that series as and when the same becomes due and payable and the continuance of any such failure for 30 days; (2) the failure by the Company to pay all or any part of the principal of, or premium, if any, on, the notes of that series when and as the same becomes due and payable at maturity, redemption, by acceleration or otherwise; (3) the failure by the Company, a Guarantor or any Subsidiary Guarantor to observe or perform any other covenant or agreement contained in the notes of that series or the Indenture with respect to that series of notes and, subject to certain exceptions, the continuance of such failure for a period of 30 days after written notice is given to the Company by the trustee or to the Company and the trustee by the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the notes of that series outstanding; (4) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization in respect of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries; (5) a default in (a) Secured Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries with an aggregate principal amount in excess of 5% of Total Assets, or (b) other Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries with an aggregate principal amount in excess of $50 million, in either case, (A) resulting from the failure to pay principal or interest when due (after giving effect to any applicable extensions or grace or cure periods) or (B) as a result of which the maturity of such Indebtedness has been accelerated prior to its final Stated Maturity; and (6) final unsatisfied judgments not covered by insurance aggregating in excess of 0.5% of Total Assets, at any one time rendered against the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries and not stayed, bonded or discharged within 60 days. The indenture provides that if a Default occurs and is continuing, the trustee must, within 90 days after the occurrence of such default, give to the holders notice of such default; provided that the trustee may withhold from holders of the notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Events of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest on the notes of that series) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. 129 If an Event of Default with respect to the notes of any series occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (4), above, relating to the Company), then either the trustee or the holders of 25% in aggregate principal amount of the notes of that series then outstanding, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the trustee if given by holders) (an "Acceleration Notice"), may declare all principal, determined as set forth below, and accrued interest thereon to be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in clause (4) above relating to the Company occurs, all principal and accrued interest thereon will be immediately due and payable on all outstanding notes without any declaration or other act on the part of trustee or the holders. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of notes of any series generally are authorized to rescind such acceleration if all existing Events of Default with respect to the notes of such series, other than the non-payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the notes of that series which have become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived. Subject to certain limitations, holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding notes of a series may direct the trustee in its exercise of any trust or power with respect to such series. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the notes of a series at the time outstanding may waive on behalf of all the holders any default with respect to such series, except a default with respect to any provision requiring supermajority approval to amend, which default may only be waived by such a supermajority with respect to such series, and except a default in the payment of principal of or interest on any note of that series not yet cured or a default with respect to any covenant or provision which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding note of that series affected. Subject to the provisions of the indenture relating to the duties of the trustee, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the holders, unless such holders have offered to the trustee reasonable security or indemnity. Subject to all provisions of the Indenture and applicable law, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the notes of any series at the time outstanding will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee, with respect to such series. Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets The Company will not merge with or into, or sell, convey, or transfer, or otherwise dispose of all or substantially of its property and assets (as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in one transaction or a series of related transactions) to any Person or permit any Person to merge with or into the Company, unless: (1) either the Company shall be the continuing Person or the Person (if other than the Company) formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or that acquired such property and assets of the Company shall be an entity organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America or any state or jurisdiction thereof and shall expressly assume, by a supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the trustee, all of the obligations of the Company, on the notes and under the indenture; (2) immediately after giving effect, on a pro forma basis, to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and (3) the Company will have delivered to the trustee an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, in each case stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture complies with this provision and that all conditions precedent provided for herein relating to such transaction have been complied with. Upon any consolidation or merger or any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, in accordance with the foregoing, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which such transfer is made, shall succeed to, be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of the Company under the indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named therein as the Company and the Company shall be released from the obligations under the notes and the indenture. 130 Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance The Company may, at its option, elect to have its obligations and the obligations of the Guarantors and Subsidiary Guarantors discharged with respect to the outstanding notes of any series ("Legal Defeasance"). Such Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented, and the indenture shall cease to be of further effect as to all outstanding notes of such series and Guarantees thereof, except as to: (1) rights of holders to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such notes when such payments are due from the trust funds; (2) the Company's obligations with respect to such notes concerning issuing temporary notes, registration of notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen notes, and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust; (3) the rights, powers, trust, duties, and immunities of the trustee, and the Company's, the Guarantors' and the Subsidiary Guarantors' obligations in connection therewith; and (4) the Legal Defeasance provisions of the indenture. In addition, the Company may, at its option and at any time, elect, with respect to any series of notes, to have the obligations of the Company, the Guarantors and the Subsidiary Guarantors released with respect to certain covenants that are described in the indenture ("Covenant Defeasance") and thereafter any failure to comply with such obligations shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to the notes of such series. In the event Covenant Defeasance occurs, certain events (not including non-payment, bankruptcy, receivership, rehabilitation and insolvency events) described under "Events of Default" will no longer constitute an Event of Default with respect to the notes of such series. In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, with respect to any series of notes: (1) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the holders of the notes of such series, U.S. legal tender, noncallable government securities or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the redemption date of such principal or installment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on such notes; (2) in the case of the Legal Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to trustee confirming that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by the Internal Revenue Service, a ruling or (B) since the date of the indenture, there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion of counsel shall confirm that, the holders of such notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; (3) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to such trustee confirming that the holders of such notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; (4) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred with respect to such series and be continuing on the date of such deposit or insofar as Events of Default from bankruptcy or insolvency events are concerned, at any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of deposit; (5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under the indenture or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is bound; 131 (6) the Company shall have delivered to the trustee an Officer's Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the holders of such notes over any other creditors of the Company or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other creditors of the Company or others; and (7) the Company shall have delivered to the trustee an Officer's Certificate stating that the conditions precedent provided for have been complied with. Amendments and Supplements The indenture contains provisions permitting the Company, the Guarantors, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the trustee to enter into a supplemental indenture for certain limited purposes without the consent of the holders. Subject to certain limited exceptions, modifications and amendments of the indenture or any supplemental indenture with respect to any series may be made by the Company, the Guarantors, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the trustee with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes of such series (except that any amendments or supplements to the provisions relating to security interests or with respect to the Guarantees of the Subsidiary Guarantors shall require the consent of the holders of not less than 66 2/3% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes of such series at the time outstanding); provided that no such modification or amendment may, without the consent of each holder affected thereby: (1) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of interest on, any note; (2) reduce the principal amount of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any note; (3) change the place of payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any note; (4) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or after the Stated Maturity (or, in the case of a redemption, on or after the Redemption Date) of any note; (5) reduce the above-stated percentages of outstanding notes the consent of whose holders is necessary to modify or amend the indenture; (6) waive a default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the notes; (7) alter the provisions relating to the redemption of the notes at the option of the Company; (8) reduce the percentage or aggregate principal amount of outstanding notes the consent of whose holders is necessary for waiver of compliance with certain provisions of the indenture or for waiver of certain defaults; or (9) make the notes subordinate in right of payment to any other Indebtedness. No Personal Liability of Partners, Stockholders, Officers, Directors No recourse for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any of the notes or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company, the Guarantors or the Subsidiary Guarantors in the indenture, or in any of the notes or because of the creation of any Indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, partner, stockholder, officer, director, employee or controlling Person of the Company, the Guarantors or the Subsidiary Guarantors or of any successor Person thereof, except as an obligor or guarantor of the notes pursuant to the indenture. Each holder, by accepting the notes, waives and releases all such liability. Concerning the Trustee The indenture provides that, except during the continuance of a Default, the trustee will not be liable, except for the performance of such duties as are specifically set forth in such indenture. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the trustee will use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise of the rights and powers vested in it under the indenture as a prudent person would exercise under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs. 132 The indenture and provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, incorporated by reference therein contain limitations on the rights of the trustee, should it become a creditor of the Company or the Guarantors, to obtain payment of claims in certain cases or to realize on certain property received by it in respect of any such claims, as security or otherwise. The trustee is permitted to engage in other transactions; provided that if it acquires any conflicting interest, it must eliminate such conflict or resign. Book Entry; Delivery; Form and Transfer The certificates representing the notes will be issued in fully registered form without interest coupons. Notes sold in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act will initially be represented by one or more permanent global notes in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons (each a "Regulation S Global Note") and will be deposited with the trustee as custodian for, and registered in the name of a nominee of, DTC for the accounts of The Bank of New York, as depositary for the Euroclear System (Euroclear) and Clearstream, Luxembourg societe anonyme ("Clearstream"). Prior to the 40th day after the closing date of the notes, beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Notes may only be held through Euroclear or Clearstream, and any resale or transfer of such interests to U.S. persons shall not be permitted during such period unless such resale or transfer is made pursuant to Rule 144A or Regulation S. Notes sold in reliance on Rule 144A will be represented by one or more permanent global notes in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons (each a "Restricted Global Note"; and together with the Regulation S Global Notes, the "Global Notes") and will be deposited with the trustee as custodian for, and registered in the name of a nominee of, DTC. Each Global Note (and any notes issued for exchange thereof) will be subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein as described under "Notice to Investors." Notes transferred to Institutional Accredited Investors who are not qualified institutional buyers ("Non-Global Purchasers") will be in registered form without interest coupons ("Certificated Notes"). Upon the transfer of Certificated Notes initially issued to a Non-Global Purchaser to a qualified institutional buyer or in accordance with Regulation S, such Certificated Notes will, unless the relevant Global Note has previously been exchanged in whole for Certificated Notes, be exchanged for an interest in a Global Note. For a description of the restrictions on the transfer of Certificated Notes, see "Notice to Investors." Ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Note will be limited to persons who have accounts with DTC ("participants") or persons who hold interests through participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Note will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC or its nominee (with respect to interests of participants) and the records of participants (with respect to interests of persons other than participants). Qualified institutional buyers may hold their interests in a Restricted Global Note directly through DTC if they are participants in such system, or indirectly through organizations which are participants in such system. Investors may hold their interests in a Regulation S Global Note directly through Clearstream or Euroclear, if they are participants in such systems, or indirectly through organizations that are participants in such system. On or after the 40th day following the closing date of the notes, investors may also hold such interests through organizations other than Clearstream or Euroclear that are participants in the DTC system. Clearstream and Euroclear will hold interests in the Regulation S Global Notes on behalf of their participants through DTC. So long as DTC, or its nominee, is the registered owner or holder of a Global Note, DTC or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the notes represented by such Global Note for all purposes under the indenture and the notes. No beneficial owner of an interest in a Global Note will be able to transfer that interest except in accordance with DTC's applicable procedures, in addition to those provided for under the indenture and, if applicable, those of Euroclear and Clearstream. 133 Payments of the principal of, and interest on, a Global Note will be made to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner thereof. Neither Host Marriott, L.P., the trustee nor any paying agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in a Global Note or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. Host Marriott, L.P., expects that DTC or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal or interest in respect of a Global Note, will credit participants' accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of such Global Note as shown on the records of DTC or its nominee. Host Marriott, L.P. also expects that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in such Global Note held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers registered in the names of nominees for such customers. Such payments will be the responsibility of such participants. Transfers between participants in DTC will be effected in the ordinary way in accordance with DTC rules and will be settled in same day funds. Transfers between participants in Euroclear and Clearstream will be effected in the ordinary way in accordance with their respective rules and operating procedures. Host Marriott, L.P. expects that DTC will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of notes (including the presentation of notes for exchange as described below) only at the direction of one or more participants to whose account the DTC interests in a Global Note is credited and only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of notes to which such participant or participants has or have given such direction. However, if there is an Event of Default under the notes, DTC will exchange the applicable Global Note for Certificated Notes, which it will distribute to its participants and which may be legended as set forth under the heading "Notice to Investors." Host Marriott, L.P. understands that DTC is a limited purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York, a "banking organization" within the meaning of New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code and a "Clearing Agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Exchange Act. DTC was created to hold securities for its participants and facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates. Indirect access to the DTC system is available to others such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies and certain other organizations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant, either directly or indirectly ("indirect participants"). Although DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream are expected to follow the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of interests in a Global Note among participants of DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream they are under no obligation to perform or continue to perform such procedures, and such procedures may be discontinued at any time. Neither Host Marriott, L.P. nor the trustee will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream or their respective participants or indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations. If DTC is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as a despositary for the Global Notes and a successor depositary is not appointed by Host Marriott, L.P. within 90 days, Host Marriott, L.P. will issue Certificated Notes, which may bear the legend referred to under "Notice to Investors," in exchange for the Global Notes. Holders of an interest in a Global Note may receive Certificated Notes, which may bear the legend referred to under "Notice to Investors," in accordance with the DTC's rules and procedures in addition to those provided for under the indenture. Initially, the trustee will act as paying agent and registrar. The notes may be presented for registration of transfer and exchange at the offices of the Registrar. It is expected that the notes will be eligible for inclusion in the NASD's PORTAL system. 134 Same Day Settlement and Payment The indenture will require that payments in respect of the notes represented by the Global Notes (including principal, premium, if any, interest and liquidated damages, if any) be made by wire transfer of immediately available same day funds to the accounts specified by the holder of interests in such Global Note. With respect to Certificated Notes, we will make all payments of principal, premium, if any, interest and liquidated damages, if any, by wire transfer of immediately available same day funds to the accounts specified by the holders thereof or, if no such account is specified, by mailing a check to each such holder's registered address. We expect that secondary trading in the Certificated Notes will also be settled in immediately available funds. MATERIAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE EXCHANGE The following discussion, to the extent that it constitutes matters of law, summaries of legal matters or legal conclusions, is the opinion of Latham & Watkins, our special tax counsel, as to the material federal income tax consequences expected to result to holders whose Series F senior notes are exchanged for Series G senior notes in the exchange offer. Their opinion is based upon the facts set forth in the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable U.S. Treasury regulations, judicial authority and administrative rulings and practice. We can not assure you that the Internal Revenue Service will not take a contrary view. We have not sought nor will we seek any ruling from the IRS with respect to the exchange offer. Legislative, judicial or administrative changes or interpretations could occur that would alter or modify these statements and conclusions set forth in this prospectus. Any changes or interpretations may or may not be retroactive and could affect the tax consequences to holders. Holders of Series F senior notes (including insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, financial institutions, broker- dealers, foreign corporations, and persons who are not citizens or residents of the United States) may be subject to special rules not discussed below. Each holder of Series F senior notes should consult its tax advisor as to the particular tax consequences of exchanging Series F senior notes for Series G senior notes, including the applicability and effect of any state, local or foreign laws. The exchange of Series F senior notes for Series G senior notes will be treated as a "non-event" for federal income tax purposes. That is, the exchange will not be treated as an exchange for federal income tax purposes because the Series G senior notes will not be considered to differ materially in kind or extent from the Series F senior notes. As a result, no material federal income tax consequences will result to holders exchanging Series F senior notes for Series G senior notes. 135 PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION If you are a broker-dealer that receives Series G senior notes for your own account pursuant to the exchange offer, you must acknowledge that you will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Series G senior notes. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used in connection with resales of Series G senior notes received in exchange for Series F senior notes where such Series F senior notes were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. To the extent any broker-dealer participates in the exchange offer and so notifies us, we have agreed that we will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to that broker-dealer for use in connection with resales, and will promptly send additional copies of this prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests those documents in the letter of transmittal. . We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of Series G senior notes by broker-dealers. . Series G senior notes received by broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to the exchange offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the Series G senior notes or a combination of such methods of resale, at prevailing market prices at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. . Any resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer or the purchasers or any such Series G senior notes. . Any broker-dealer that resells Series G senior notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such Series G senior notes may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any profit on any such resale of Series G senior notes and any commissions or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. . The letter of transmittal states that, by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act. We have agreed to pay all expenses incident to the exchange offer (other than commissions and concessions of any broker-dealer), subject to certain prescribed limitations, and will provide indemnification against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities that may arise under the Securities Act, to broker-dealers that make a market in the Series F senior notes and exchange Series F senior notes in the exchange offer for Series G senior notes. By its acceptance of the exchange offer, any broker-dealer that receives Series G senior notes pursuant to the exchange offer hereby agrees to notify us prior to using the prospectus in connection with the sale or transfer of Series G senior notes. It also agrees that, upon receipt of notice from us of the happening of any event which makes any statement in this prospectus untrue in any material respect or which requires the making of any changes in this prospectus in order to make the statements therein not misleading or which may impose upon us disclosure obligations that may have a material adverse effect on us (which notice we agree to deliver promptly to such broker-dealer), such broker-dealer will suspend use of this prospectus until we have notified such broker-dealer that delivery of this prospectus may resume and has furnished copies of any amendment or supplement to this prospectus to such broker-dealer. 136 LEGAL MATTERS Certain legal matters relating to the Series G senior notes will be passed upon for us by Christopher G. Townsend, Senior Vice President and General Counsel of Host REIT, Bethesda, Maryland. Mr. Townsend owns shares of Host REIT common stock, and holds stock options, deferred stock and restricted stock awards under Host REIT compensation plans. Mr. Townsend may receive additional awards under these plans in the future. Certain other legal matters in connection with the exchange of the notes will be passed upon for us by Latham & Watkins, Washington, D.C.

F-1 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To Host Marriott Corporation as general partner to Host Marriott, L.P.: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Host Marriott, L.P. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related consolidated statements of operations, partner's capital and comprehensive income and cash flows of Host Marriott, L.P. for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999 and the consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity and comprehensive income and cash flows of Host Marriott Corporation (as predecessor to Host Marriott L.P. -- See Note 1) for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1998 and January 2, 1998. These financial statements and the schedule referred to below are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and the schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Host Marriott, L.P. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999, and the results of operations and cash flows of Host Marriott, L.P. for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999 and of Host Marriott Corporation for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1998 and January 2, 1998, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The schedule listed in the index at Item 21(B) is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and is not part of the basic financial statements. This schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly states in all material respects, the financial data required to be set forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

AND SUBSIDIARIES CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS--(Continued) Fiscal years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, and January 2, 1998 Supplemental schedule of noncash investing and financing activities: In 1999, approximately 612,000 cumulative redeemable preferred limited partnership units valued at $7.6 million were issued in connection with the acquisition of minority interests in two hotels. The Company assumed mortgage debt of $1,215 million and $733 million in 1998 and 1997, respectively, for the acquisition of, or purchase of controlling interest in, certain hotel properties and senior living communities. In 1998, the Company distributed $438 million of net assets in connection with the discontinued operations and contributed $12 million of net assets to the Non-Controlled Subsidiaries in connection with the REIT Conversion. See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. F-8 HOST MARRIOTT, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Description of Business Host Marriott Corporation, a Maryland corporation formerly named HMC Merger Corporation ("Host REIT"), operating through an umbrella partnership structure, is a self-managed and self-administered real estate investment trust ("REIT") with its operations conducted solely through an operating partnership, Host Marriott, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") and its subsidiaries. As REITs are not currently permitted to derive revenues directly from the operations of hotels, Host REIT leases all of the hotels to subsidiaries of Crestline Capital Corporation or other lessees (collectively the "Lessee") as further discussed at Note 9. As of December 31, 1999, the Operating Partnership owned, or had controlling interests in, 121 upscale and luxury, full-service hotel lodging properties generally located throughout the United States and operated primarily under the Marriott, Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons, Hyatt and Swissotel brand names. 108 of these properties are managed or franchised by Marriott International, Inc. ("Marriott International"). Host REIT also has economic, non-voting interests in certain Non-Controlled Subsidiaries, whose hotels are also managed by Marriott International (see Note 4). Basis of Presentation On December 15, 1998, shareholders of Host Marriott Corporation, ("Host Marriott"), a Delaware corporation and the predecessor to Host REIT, approved a plan to reorganize Host Marriott's business operations through the spin-off of Host Marriott's senior living business as part of Crestline and the contribution of Host Marriott's hotels and certain other assets and liabilities to a newly formed Delaware limited partnership, Host Marriott, L.P. Host Marriott merged into HMC Merger Corporation (the "Merger"), a newly formed Maryland corporation (renamed Host Marriott Corporation) which intends to qualify, effective January 1, 1999, as a REIT and is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. Host Marriott and its subsidiaries' contribution of its hotels and certain assets and liabilities to the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries (the "Contribution") in exchange for units of partnership interest in the Operating Partnership ("OP Units") was accounted for at Host Marriott's historical basis. As of December 31, 1999, Host REIT owned approximately 78% of the Operating Partnership. In these consolidated financial statements, the "Company" or "Host Marriott" refers to Host Marriott Corporation before, and Host Marriott, L.P. after Host Marriott Corporation's conversion to a REIT (the "REIT Conversion"). Host Marriott Corporation is presented as the predecessor to the Operating Partnership since the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries received substantially all of the continuing operations, assets and liabilities of Host Marriott Corporation and its subsidiaries. On December 29, 1998, the Company completed the previously discussed spin- off of Crestline (see Note 2), through a taxable stock dividend to its shareholders. Each Host Marriott shareholder of record on December 28, 1998 received one share of Crestline for every ten shares of Host Marriott common stock owned (the "Distribution"). As a result of the Distribution, the Company's financial statements have been restated to present the senior living communities business results of operations and cash flows as discontinued operations. See Note 2 for further discussion of the Distribution. All historical financial statements presented have been restated to conform to this presentation. F-9 HOST MARRIOTT, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries and controlled affiliates. Investments in affiliates over which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not control, are accounted for using the equity method. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Fiscal Year End Change The U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, requires REITs to file their U.S. income tax return on a calendar year basis. Accordingly in 1998, the Company changed its fiscal year-end to December 31 for both financial and tax reporting requirements. Previously, the Company's fiscal year ended on the Friday nearest to December 31. Revenues The Company's 1999 revenue primarily represents the rental income from its leased hotels and is not comparable to 1998 hotel revenues which reflect gross sales generated by the properties. The rent due under each lease is the greater of base rent or percentage rent, as defined. Percentage rent applicable to room, food and beverage and other types of hotel revenue varies by lease and is calculated by multiplying fixed percentages by the total amounts of such revenues over specified threshold amounts. Both the minimum rent and the revenue thresholds used in computing percentage rents are subject to annual adjustments based on increases in the United States Consumer Price Index and the Labor Index, as defined. As of year end all annual thresholds have been achieved. The comparison of the 1999 results with 1998 and 1997 is also affected by a change in the reporting period for the Company's hotels not managed by Marriott International. In prior years, operations for certain of the Company's hotels were recorded from the beginning of December of the prior year to November of the current year due to a one-month delay in receiving results from those hotel properties. Upon conversion to a REIT, operations are required to be reported on a calendar year basis in accordance with Federal income tax regulations. As a result, the Company recorded one additional period of operations in fiscal year 1998 for these properties. The effect on revenues and net income was to increase revenues by $44 million and net income by $6 million and diluted earning per share by $0.02 in 1998. Earnings (Loss) Per Unit Basic earnings per unit is computed by dividing net income available to common unitholders by the weighted average number of units outstanding. Diluted earnings per unit is computed by dividing net income available to common unitholders as adjusted for potentially dilutive securities, by the weighted average number of units outstanding plus other potentially dilutive securities. Dilutive securities may include units distributed to Host Marriott Corporation for Host Marriott Corporation common shares granted under comprehensive stock plans, warrants and the Convertible Preferred Securities (see Note 6). Dilutive securities also include those common and preferred OP Units issuable or outstanding that are held by minority partners which are assumed to be converted. Diluted earnings per unit was not adjusted for the impact of the Convertible Preferred Securities for 1999 and 1997 as they were anti-dilutive. In December 1998, the Company declared the Special Dividend (Note 2) and, in February 1999, Host REIT distributed 11.5 million shares to existing shareholders in conjunction with the Special Dividend. The weighted average number of units outstanding and the basic and diluted earnings per unit computations have been restated to reflect these shares as outstanding for all periods presented. In February 1999, the Company distributed 8.5 million units to Host Marriott Corporation for 8.5 million shares of Host Marriott Corporation common stock issued in exchange for 8.5 million OP Units issued to certain limited partners in connection with the Partnership Mergers (see Note 12) which are deemed outstanding at December 31, 1998. F-10 HOST MARRIOTT, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) A reconciliation of the number of units utilized for the calculation of diluted earnings per unit follows:

International Operations The consolidated statements of operations include the following amounts related to non-U.S. subsidiaries and affiliates: revenues of $24 million, $121 million and $105 million, and income (loss) before income taxes of $8 million, $7 million and ($9 million) in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Minority Interest Minority interest consists of limited partnership interests in consolidated investments of $136 million and $147 million as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Property and Equipment Property and equipment is recorded at cost. For newly developed properties, cost includes interest, ground rent and real estate taxes incurred during development and construction. Replacements and improvements are capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 40 years for buildings and three to ten years for furniture and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the useful lives of the related assets. Gains on sales of properties are recognized at the time of sale or deferred to the extent required by generally accepted accounting principles. Deferred gains are recognized as income in subsequent periods as conditions requiring deferral are satisfied or expire without further cost to the Company. In cases where management is holding for sale particular hotel properties, the Company assesses impairment based on whether the estimated sales price less costs of disposal of each individual property to be sold is less than the net book value. A property is considered to be held for sale when the Company has made the decision to dispose of the property. Otherwise, the Company assesses impairment of its real estate properties based on whether it is probable that undiscounted future cash flows from each individual property will be less than its net book value. If a property is impaired, its basis is adjusted to its fair market value. F-11 HOST MARRIOTT, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) Deferred Charges Financing costs related to long-term debt are deferred and amortized over the remaining life of the debt. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-term Marketable Securities The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of 90 days or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents includes approximately $5 million and $22 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, of cash related to certain consolidated partnerships, the use of which is restricted generally for partnership purposes to the extent it is not distributed to the partners. Short-term marketable securities include investments with a maturity of 91 days to one year at the date of purchase. The Company's short-term marketable securities represent investments in U.S. government agency notes and high quality commercial paper. The short-term marketable securities are categorized as available for sale and, as a result, are stated at fair market value. Unrealized holding gains and losses are included as a separate component of partners' capital until realized. Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities with various high credit- quality financial institutions. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of these financial institutions and limits the amount of credit exposure with any institution. In addition, on January 1, 1999, subsidiaries of Crestline became the lessees of virtually all the hotels and, as such, their rent payments are the primary source of the Company's revenues. The full-service hotel leases are grouped into four lease pools, with Crestline's guarantee limited to the greater of 10% of the aggregate rent payable for the preceding year or 10% of the aggregate rent payable under all leases in the respective pool. Additionally, the lessee's obligation under each lease agreement is guaranteed by all other lessees in the respective lease pool. As a result, the Company believes that the operating results of each full-service lease pool may be material to the Company's financial statements. However, management believes that due to Crestline's substantial assets, net worth and ability to operate as a separate publicly traded company, Crestline will have the financial stability and access to capital necessary to meet the substantial obligations as lessee under the leases. The separate financial statements of each full- service lease pool are included in this offering memorandum. For a more detailed discussion of the guarantee, see Note 9. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States 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. REIT Conversion Expenses The Company incurred certain costs related to the REIT Conversion. These costs consist of professional fees, printing and filing costs, consent fees and certain other related fees and are classified as REIT conversion expenses on the consolidated statement of operations. The Company recognized REIT conversion expense of $64 million in 1998. F-12 HOST MARRIOTT, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) Interest Rate Swap Agreements In the past, the Company entered into a limited number of interest rate swap agreements for non-trading purposes. The Company used such agreements to fix certain of its variable rate debt to a fixed rate basis. The interest rate differential to be paid or received on interest rate swap agreements is recognized as an adjustment to interest expense. Other Comprehensive Income As of January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (SFAS 130) which establishes new rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components. SFAS 130 requires unrealized gains or losses on the Company's right to receive Host Marriott Services stock (see Note 10) and foreign currency translation adjustments, to be included in other comprehensive income. Prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the requirements of SFAS 130. The components of total accumulated other comprehensive income in the balance sheet are as follows (in millions):
1999 1998 ---- ---- Net unrealized gains............................................. $ 8 $ 5 Foreign currency translation adjustment.......................... (6) (9) --- --- Total accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).............. $ 2 $(4) === ===
Application of New Accounting Standards On December 3, 1999 the Securities and Exchange Commission staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, which codified the staff's position on revenue recognition. The Company retroactively changed its method of accounting for contingent rental revenues to conform to SAB No. 101. As a result, base rent is recognized as it is earned according to the applicable lease provisions. Percentage rent is recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet until the applicable hotel revenues exceed the threshold amounts. The Company has adopted SAB No. 101 with retroactive effect beginning January 1, 1999. In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that derivative instruments (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company has not determined the impact of SFAS No. 133, but management does not believe it will be material. 2. Distribution and Special Dividend In December 1998, the Company distributed to its shareholders through a taxable distribution the outstanding shares of common stock of Crestline (the "Distribution"), formerly a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, which, as of the date of the Distribution, owned and operated the Company's senior living communities, owned certain other assets and held leasehold interests in substantially all of the Company's hotels. The Distribution provided Company shareholders with one share of Crestline common stock for every ten shares of Company common stock held by such shareholders on the record date of December 28, 1998. As a result of the Distribution, the Company's financial statements have been restated to present the senior living communities' business results of operations and cash flows as discontinued operations. Revenues for the Company's discontinued operations totaled $241 million and $111 million in 1998 and 1997, respectively. The provision for loss on disposal includes organizational and formation costs related to Crestline. F-13 HOST MARRIOTT, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) For purposes of governing certain of the ongoing relationships between the Company and Crestline after the Distribution and to provide for an orderly transition, the Company and Crestline entered into various agreements, including a Distribution Agreement, an Employee Benefits Allocation Agreement and a Tax Sharing Agreement. Effective as of December 29, 1998, these agreements provide, among other things, for the division between the Company and Crestline of certain assets and liabilities. On December 18, 1998, the Board of Directors declared a special dividend which entitled shareholders of record on December 28, 1998 to elect to receive either $1.00 in cash or .087 of a share of common stock of the Company for each outstanding share of the Company's common stock owned by such shareholder on the record date (the "Special Dividend"). Cash totaling $73 million and 11.5 million shares of common stock that were elected in the Special Dividend were paid and/or issued in 1999. 3.

In connection with the REIT Conversion, Rockledge Hotel Properties, Inc. and Fernwood Hotel Assets, Inc. (together, the "Non-Controlled Subsidiaries") were formed to own various assets of approximately $264 million contributed by Host Marriott Corporation to the Operating Partnership, the direct ownership of which by Host REIT or the Operating Partnership could jeopardize Host REIT's status as a REIT. These assets primarily consist of partnership or other interests in hotels which are not leased and certain furniture, fixtures and equipment ("FF&E") used in the hotels. In exchange for the contribution of these assets to the Non-Controlled Subsidiaries, the Operating Partnership received only non-voting common stock of the Non-Controlled Subsidiaries, representing 95% of the total economic interests therein. The Host Marriott Statutory Employee/Charitable Trust, the beneficiaries of which are certain employees of the Company and the J.W. Marriott Foundation concurrently acquired all of the voting common stock representing the remaining 5% of F-14 HOST MARRIOTT, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) the total economic interest. The Non-Controlled Subsidiaries own three full- service hotels and interests in partnerships that own an additional two full- service hotels and 209 limited-service hotels. In connection with the REIT Conversion, the Company completed the Partnership Mergers and, as a result, investments in affiliates in prior years include earnings and assets, which are now consolidated. (See Note 12 for discussion.) Receivables from affiliates are reported net of reserves of $7 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998. Net amounts funded by the Company totaled $10 million in 1997, and repayments were $2 million in 1999, $14 million in 1998 and $2 million in 1997. There were no fundings in 1999 and 1998.

Public Debt. In February 1999, the Company issued $300 million of 8 3/8% Series D senior notes due in 2006 under the same indenture and with the same covenants as the New Senior Notes (described below). The debt was used to refinance, or purchase, approximately $299 million of debt acquired in the Partnership Mergers, including a $40 million variable rate mortgage and terminate the associated swap agreement, incurring a termination fee of $1 million. The notes were exchanged in August 1999 for Series E senior notes on a one-for-one basis, which are freely transferable by the holders. In December 1998, the Operating Partnership issued $500 million of 8.45% Series C senior notes due in 2008 under the same indenture and with the same covenants as the New Senior Notes (described below). On August 5, 1998, the Company issued an aggregate of $1.7 billion in new senior notes (the "New Senior Notes"). The New Senior Notes were issued in two series, $500 million of 7 7/8% Series A senior notes due in 2005 and $1.2 billion of 7 7/8% Series B senior notes due in 2008. The indenture under which the New Senior Notes were issued contains covenants restricting the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to incur indebtedness, grant liens on their assets, acquire or sell assets or make investments in other entities, and make certain distributions to equity holders of the Company and the Operating Partnership. The Company utilized the proceeds from the New Senior Notes to purchase substantially all of its (i) $600 million in 9 1/2% senior notes due 2005; (ii) $350 million in 9% senior notes due 2007; and (iii) $600 million in 8 7/8% senior notes due 2007 (collectively, the "Old Senior Notes"). Approximately $13 million of the Old Senior Notes remain outstanding. In connection with the purchase of substantially all of the Old Senior Notes, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $148 million (net of income tax benefit of $80 million) as an extraordinary item representing the amount paid for bond premiums and consent fees, as well as the write-off of deferred financing fees on the Old Senior Notes. Concurrently with each offer to purchase, the Company successfully solicited consents (the "1998 Consent Solicitations") from registered holders of the Old Senior Notes to certain amendments to eliminate or F-16 HOST MARRIOTT, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) modify substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain other provisions contained in the indentures pursuant to which the Old Senior Notes were issued. Bank Credit Facility. In August 1998, the Company entered into a $1.25 billion credit facility (the "Bank Credit Facility") with a group of commercial banks. The Bank Credit Facility has an initial three-year term with two one- year extension options. At origination, the facility consisted of a $350 million term loan and a $900 million revolver. Borrowings under the Bank Credit Facility bear interest currently at the Eurodollar rate plus 1.65% (7.57% at December 31, 1999). The interest rate and commitment fee on the unused portion of the Bank Credit Facility fluctuate based on certain financial ratios. The New Senior Notes and the Bank Credit Facility were assumed by the Operating Partnership in connection with the REIT Conversion. During 1999, the Company repaid $225 million of the outstanding balance on the $350 million term loan portion of the Bank Credit Facility, permanently reducing the term loan portion to $125 million. In connection with these prepayments, an extraordinary loss of $2 million representing the write-off of deferred financing costs was recognized. As a result of these repayments, the available capacity under the revolver remains $900 million while the total Bank Credit Facility has been permanently reduced to $1.025 billion. The Bank Credit Facility contains covenants restricting the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to incur indebtedness, grant liens on their assets, acquire or sell assets or make investments in other entities, and make certain distributions to equity holders of Host REIT and the Operating Partnership. The Bank Credit Facility also contains certain financial covenants relating to, among other things, maintaining certain levels of tangible net worth and certain ratios of EBITDA to interest and fixed charges, total debt to EBITDA, unencumbered assets to unsecured debt, and secured debt to total debt. Mortgage Debt. In August 1999, the Company made a prepayment of $19 million to pay down in full the mezzanine mortgage on the Marriott Desert Springs Resort and Spa. In September 1999, the Company made a prepayment of $45 million to pay down in full the mortgage note on the Philadelphia Four Seasons Hotel. In July 1999, the Company entered into a financing agreement pursuant to which it borrowed $665 million due 2009 at a fixed rate of 7.47% with eight hotels serving as collateral. In connection with this refinancing, an extraordinary loss of $3 million was recognized, representing the write-off of deferred financing fees. The proceeds from this financing were used to refinance existing mortgage indebtedness maturing at various times through 2000, including approximately $590 million of outstanding variable rate mortgage debt. In June 1999, the Company refinanced the debt on the San Diego Marriott Hotel and Marina. The mortgage is $195 million with a term of 10 years at a rate of 8.45%. In addition, the Company entered into a mortgage for the Philadelphia Marriott expansion in July 1999 for $23 million at an interest rate of approximately 8.6%, maturing in 2009. In April 1999, a subsidiary of the Company completed the refinancing of the $245 million mortgage on the New York Marriott Marquis, maturing June 2000. In connection with the refinancing, the Company renegotiated the management agreement and recognized an extraordinary gain of $14 million on the forgiveness of accrued incentive management fees by the manager. This mortgage was subsequently refinanced as part of the $665 million financing agreement discussed above. In connection with the refinancing of certain mortgage debt for approximately $152 million in December 1997, the Company recognized an extraordinary loss of $2 million which represents payment of a prepayment penalty and the write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees, net of taxes. In 1997, the Company purchased 100% of the outstanding bonds secured by a first mortgage on the San Francisco Marriott for $219 million, an $11 million discount to the face value of $230 million. An F-17 HOST MARRIOTT, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) extraordinary gain of $5 million was recognized, which represents the $11 million discount less the write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees, net of taxes. Interest Rate Swap Agreements. During 1999, the Company terminated its outstanding interest rate swap agreements recognizing an extraordinary gain of approximately $8 million. The Company was party to an interest rate swap agreement with a financial institution with an aggregate notional amount of $100 million which expired in December 1998. In 1997, the Company was party to two additional interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $400 million which expired in May 1997. The Company realized a net reduction of interest expense of $338,000 and $1 million in 1999 and 1997, respectively, related to interest rate swap agreements. The Company's debt balance at December 31, 1999, includes $87 million of debt that is recourse to the parent company. Aggregate debt maturities at December 31, 1999 are (in millions): 2000................................................................. $ 180 2001................................................................. 169 2002................................................................. 157 2003................................................................. 132 2004................................................................. 47 Thereafter........................................................... 4,900 ------ 5,585 Discount on senior notes.............................................

Cash paid for interest for continuing operations, net of amounts capitalized, was $413 million in 1999, $325 million in 1998, and $278 million in 1997. Deferred financing costs, which are included in other assets, amounted to $111 million and $98 million, net of accumulated amortization, as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Amortization of deferred financing costs totaled $17 million, $10 million, and $7 million in 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively. 6. Convertible Debt Obligation to Host Marriott Corporation The obligation for the $514 million and $567 million of 6 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures (the "Debentures") as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, has been included in these financial statements as debt of the Company because upon the REIT Conversion the Operating Partnership assumed primary liability for repayment of the Debentures of Host Marriott underlying the Convertible Preferred Securities (defined below) of the Host Marriott Financial Trust (the "Issuer"), a wholly-owned subsidiary trust of Host Marriott. The common securities of the Issuer were not contributed to the Operating Partnership and therefore the Issuer is not consolidated by the Operating Partnership. Upon conversion by a Convertible Preferred Securities holder, Host Marriott will issue shares of its common stock which will be delivered to such holder. Upon the issuance of such shares by Host Marriott, the Operating Partnership will issue to Host Marriott the number of OP Units equal to the number of shares of Host Marriott common stock issued in exchange for the Debentures. In December 1996, the Issuer issued 11 million shares of 6 3/4% convertible quarterly income preferred securities (the "Convertible Preferred Securities"), with a liquidation preference of $50 per share (for a total liquidation amount of $550 million). The Convertible Preferred Securities represent an undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the Issuer. The payment of distributions out of moneys held by the Issuer and payments on liquidation of the Issuer or the redemption of the Convertible Preferred Securities are guaranteed by the F-18 HOST MARRIOTT, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) Company to the extent the Issuer has funds available therefor. This guarantee, when taken together with the Company's obligations under the indenture pursuant to which the Debentures (defined below) were issued, the Debentures, the Company's obligations under the Trust Agreement and its obligations under the indenture to pay costs, expenses, debts and liabilities of the Issuer (other than with respect to the Convertible Preferred Securities) provides a full and unconditional guarantee of amounts due on the Convertible Preferred Securities. Proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Preferred Securities were invested in 6 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures (the "Debentures") due December 2, 2026 issued by the Company. The Issuer exists solely to issue the Convertible Preferred Securities and its own common securities (the "Common Securities") and invest the proceeds therefrom in the Debentures. The note receivable from the Operating Partnership is the Issuer's sole asset. Each of the Convertible Preferred Securities and the related debentures are convertible at the option of the holder into shares of Host Marriott Corporation common stock at the rate of 3.2537 shares per Convertible Preferred Security (equivalent to a conversion price of $15.367 per share of Host Marriott Corporation common stock). The Issuer will only convert Debentures pursuant to a notice of conversion by a holder of Convertible Preferred Securities. During 1999, 1998 and 1997, no shares were converted into common stock. The conversion ratio and price were adjusted to reflect the impact of the Distribution and the Special Dividend. Holders of the Convertible Preferred Securities are entitled to receive preferential cumulative cash distributions at an annual rate of 6 3/4% accruing from the original issue date, commencing March 1, 1997, and payable quarterly in arrears thereafter. The distribution rate and the distribution and other payment dates for the Convertible Preferred Securities will correspond to the interest rate and interest and other payment dates on the Debentures. The Company may defer interest payments on the Debentures for a period not to exceed 20 consecutive quarters. If interest payments on the Debentures are deferred, so too are payments on the Convertible Preferred Securities. Under this circumstance, the Company will not be permitted to declare or pay any cash distributions with respect to its capital stock or debt securities that rank pari passu with or junior to the Debentures. Subject to certain restrictions, the Convertible Preferred Securities are redeemable at the Issuer's option upon any redemption by the Company of the Debentures after December 2, 1999. Upon repayment at maturity or as a result of the acceleration of the Debentures upon the occurrence of a default, the Debentures shall be subject to mandatory redemption, from which the proceeds will be applied to redeem Convertible Preferred Securities and Common Securities, together with accrued and unpaid distributions. As part of the share repurchase program described below in Note 7, the Company purchased 1.1 million shares of Convertible Preferred Securities in 1999 and has purchased an additional 0.4 million shares through March 8, 2000, resulting in the retirement of an equivalent amount of Debentures. 7. Equity and Partner's Capital 223.5 million and 225.6 million OP Units were outstanding as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. 8.16 million preferred limited partner units were outstanding as of December 31, 1999. No preferred limited partner units were outstanding as of December 31, 1998. A quarterly distribution of $0.21 per unit was paid on April 14, July 14, and October 15 of 1999. A fourth quarter distribution of $0.21 per unit was declared on December 20, 1999 and paid on January 17, 2000. During 1999, approximately 585,000 Class TS cumulative redeemable preferred operating partnership units and approximately 26,000 Class AM cumulative redeemable preferred operating partnership units (together the "Preferred OP Units") were issued in connection with the acquisition of minority interests in two F-19 HOST MARRIOTT, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) hotels. The Preferred OP Units are convertible into OP Units on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment in specified events, at any time beginning one year after acquisition, and after conversion to OP Units are redeemable for cash or at Host REIT's option, Host REIT common shares. The Company has the right to convert the Preferred OP Units to OP Units two years from the date of issuance. Preferred OP Unitholders are entitled to receive a preferential cash distribution of $0.21 per quarter. In September 1999, the Board of Directors of Host REIT approved the repurchase, from time to time on the open market and/or in privately negotiated transactions, of up to 22 million of the outstanding shares of Host REIT common stock, operating partnership units, or a corresponding amount of the Convertible Preferred Securities, which are convertible into a like number of shares of common stock, based on the appropriate conversion ratio. Such repurchases will be made at management's discretion, subject to market conditions, and may be suspended at any time at the Company's discretion. For the year ended December 31, 1999, Host REIT repurchased 5.8 million common shares, 1.1 million shares of the Convertible Preferred Securities and 0.3 million OP Units for a total investment of $89 million. Through March 8, 2000, Host REIT repurchased an additional 4.7 million common shares, 0.4 million Convertible Preferred Securities, and 0.3 million operating partnership units for an additional investment of $60 million. In August 1999, Host REIT sold 4.16 million shares of 10% Class A preferred stock, and in November 1999, Host REIT sold 4.0 million shares of 10% Class B preferred stock. The Operating Partnership, in turn, issued equivalent securities, the Class A Preferred Units and Class B Preferred Units ("Class A and B Preferred Units"), to Host REIT. Holders of the Class A and B Preferred Units are entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends at a rate of 10% per annum of the $25.00 per unit liquidation preference, payable quarterly in arrears commencing October 15, 1999 and January 15, 2000 for the Class A and Class B preferred stock, respectively. After August 3, 2004 and April 29, 2005, Host REIT has the option to redeem the Class A and Class B Preferred Stock, respectively, for $25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends to the date of redemption. The Class A and B Preferred Units rank senior to the OP Units, and on a parity with each other. The preferred unitholders generally have no voting rights. Accrued distributions at December 31, 1999 were $4 million. In conjunction with the Merger, the Blackstone Acquisition and the Partnership Mergers (Note 12), the Company issued approximately 64.5 million OP Units which are convertible into cash (or at Host Marriott's option, shares of Host Marriott common stock). Host Marriott Corporation issued 11.5 million shares of common stock as part of the Special Dividend and 8.5 million shares of common stock in exchange for 8.5 million OP Units issued to certain limited partners in connection with the Partnership Mergers (Note 12). Also, as part of the REIT Conversion, Host Marriott Corporation changed its par value from $1 to $0.01 per share. The change in par value did not affect the number of shares outstanding. 8. Income Taxes The Operating Partnership is not a tax paying entity. However, the Operating Partnership under the Operating Partnership Agreement is required to reimburse Host REIT for any tax payments Host REIT is required to make. Accordingly, the tax information included herein represents disclosures regarding Host REIT. As a result of the requirement of the Company to reimburse Host REIT for these liabilities, such liabilities and related disclosures are included in the Company's financial statements. F-20 HOST MARRIOTT, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) In December 1998, Host Marriott restructured itself to enable Host REIT to qualify for treatment as a REIT, pursuant to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, effective January 1, 1999. In general, a corporation that elects REIT status and distributes at least 95% of its taxable income to its shareholders and complies with certain other requirements (relating primarily to the nature of its assets and the sources of its revenues) is not subject to Federal income taxation to the extent it distributes its taxable income. In 1999, Host REIT distributed 100% if its 1999 taxable income which amounted to $.84 per outstanding common share. Of the total distribution, $.83 per share was taxable as ordinary income with the remaining $.01 per share taxable as a capital gain. Management believes that Host REIT was organized to qualify as a REIT for 1999 and intends for it to qualify in subsequent years (including distribution of at least 95% of its REIT taxable income to shareholders each year). Management expects that Host REIT will pay taxes on "built-in gains" on only certain of its assets. Based on these considerations and the settlement of certain tax contingencies in 1999, management does not believe that Host REIT will be liable for income taxes at the federal level or in most of the states in which it operates in future years, and Host REIT eliminated $26 million and $106 million of its net tax liabilities as of December 31, 1999 and 1998. Host REIT does not expect to provide for any material deferred income taxes in future periods except in certain states and foreign countries. In connection with the Distribution and formation of the Non-Controlled Subsidiaries, Host REIT further reduced deferred income tax liabilities by $102 million in 1998. In order to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, among other things, Host REIT was required to distribute all of its accumulated earnings and profits ("E&P") to its stockholders in one or more taxable dividends prior to December 31, 1999. To accomplish the requisite distributions of accumulated E&P, Host Marriott made distributions consisting of approximately 20.4 million shares of Crestline valued at $297 million, $73 million in cash, and approximately 11.5 million shares of Host Marriott stock valued at $138 million. Management believes it has distributed all required E&P as of December 31, 1999. Host REIT's final calculation of E&P and the distribution thereof is subject to review by the Internal Revenue Service. Where required, deferred income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards based on enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled. However, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is more likely than not that they will be realized based on consideration of available evidence, including tax planning strategies and other factors. Total deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998 were as follows:
1999 1998 ------ ------- (in millions) Deferred tax assets........................................ $ 10 $ 32 Deferred tax liabilities................................... (59) (129) ------ ------- Net deferred income tax liability........................ $ (49) $ (97) ====== =======
The tax effect of each type of temporary difference and carryforward that gives rise to a significant portion of deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998 follows:
1999 1998 ------ ------- (in millions) Safe harbor lease investments.............................. $ (24) $ (24) Deferred tax gain.......................................... (35) (105) Alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards............... 10 32 ------ ------- Net deferred income tax liability........................ $ (49) $ (97) ====== =======

At December 31, 1999, Host REIT had approximately $10 million of alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards available which do not expire. As of December 31, 1999, Host REIT had settled with the Internal Revenue Service substantially all issues for tax years through 1996. Host REIT expects to resolve any remaining issues with no material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Host REIT made net payments to the IRS of approximately $14 million, $27 million, and $10 million in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, related to these settlements. A reconciliation of the statutory Federal tax rate to Host REIT's effective income tax rate follows (excluding the impact of the change in tax status):
1999 1998 1997 ----- ---- ---- Statutory Federal tax rate............................... -- % 35.0% 35.0% Built-in-gains........................................... 2.8 -- -- State income taxes, net of Federal tax benefit........... 1.2 5.8 4.9 Tax credits.............................................. -- (1.7) (2.7) Tax contingencies........................................

Cash paid for income taxes, including IRS settlements, net of refunds received, was $50 million in 1999, $83 million in 1998 and $56 million in 1997. 9. Leases Due to current federal income tax law restrictions on a REIT's ability to derive revenues directly from the operation of a hotel, the Company leases its hotels (the "Leases") to one or more lessees (the "Lessees"). Hotel Leases. There generally is a separate Lessee for each hotel or group of hotels that is owned by a separate subsidiary of the Company. The operating agreements for such Lessees provide that the Crestline member of the Lessee has full control over the management of the business of the Lessee, subject to blocking rights by Marriott International, where it is the manager, over certain decisions by virtue of its non-economic, limited voting interest in the lessee subsidiaries. Each full-service hotel Lease has a fixed term generally F-22 HOST MARRIOTT, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) ranging from seven to ten years, subject to earlier termination upon the occurrence of certain contingencies as defined in the Leases. Each Lease requires the Lessee to pay 1) minimum rent in a fixed dollar amount per annum plus 2) to the extent it exceeds minimum rent, percentage rent based upon specified percentages of aggregate sales from the applicable hotel, including room sales, food and beverage sales, and other income in excess of specified thresholds. The amount of minimum rent and the percentage rent thresholds will be adjusted each year based upon any increases in the Consumer Price Index and the Employment Cost Index during the previous 10 months, as well as for certain capital expenditures and casualty occurrences. The Company has received notices of termination from Crestline on five leases, with effective dates ranging from March through June 2000, which we are currently negotiating. We expect to be able to obtain replacement leases for these leases without material impact to our future operations. Effective November 15, 1999, we amended substantially all of our leases with Crestline to give Crestline the right to renew each of these leases for up to four additional terms of seven years each at a fair rental value, to be determined either by agreement between us and Crestline or through arbitration at the time the renewal option is exercised. Crestline is under no obligation to exercise these renewal options, and the Company has the right to terminate the renewal options during certain time periods specified in the amendments. In addition, the amendments provide that the fair rental value payable by the Company to Crestline in connection with the purchase of a lease as described above does not include any amounts relating to any renewal period. Therefore, the fair rental value of a lease after expiration of the initial term for such lease would be zero. The Company intends to evaluate our options regarding the Crestline leases and have not yet made a decision whether or not to purchase those leases. If the Company anticipates that the average tax basis of the Company's FF&E and other personal property that are leased by any individual lessor entity will exceed 15% of the aggregate average tax basis of the fixed assets in that entity, then the Lessee would be obligated either to acquire such excess FF&E from the Company or to cause a third party to purchase such FF&E. The Lessee has agreed to give a right of first opportunity to a Non-Controlled Subsidiary to acquire the excess FF&E and to lease the excess FF&E to the Lessee. Each Lessee is responsible for paying all of the expenses of operating the applicable hotel(s), including all personnel costs, utility costs and general repair and maintenance of the hotel(s). The Lessee also is responsible for all fees payable to the applicable manager, including base and incentive management fees, chain services payments and franchise or system fees, with respect to periods covered by the term of the Lease. The Company also remains liable under each management agreement. The Company is responsible for paying real estate taxes, personal property taxes (to the extent the Company owns the personal property), casualty insurance on the structures, ground lease rent payments, required expenditures for FF&E (including maintaining the FF&E reserve, to the extent such is required by the applicable management agreement) and other capital expenditures. Crestline Guarantees. Crestline and certain of its subsidiaries entered into limited guarantees of the Lease obligations of each Lessee. The full-service hotel leases are grouped into four lease pools (determined on the basis of the term of the particular Lease with all leases having generally the same lease term placed in the same "pool"). For each of the four identified pools, the cumulative limit of Crestline's guaranty obligation is the greater of 10% of the aggregate rent payable for the immediately preceding fiscal year under all Leases in the pool or 10% of the aggregate rent payable under all Leases in the pool. For each pool, the subsidiary of Crestline that is the parent of the Lessees in the pool (a "Pool Parent") also is a party to the guaranty of the Lease obligations for that pool. The obligations of the Pool Parent under each guaranty is secured by all funds received by the applicable Pool Parent from the hotels in the pool, and the hotels in the pool are required to distribute their excess cash flow to the Pool Parent for each accounting period, under certain conditions as described by the guaranty. F-23 HOST MARRIOTT, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) As a result of the limited guarantees of the lease obligations of the lessees, the Company believes that the operating results of each full-service lease pool may be material to the Company's financial statements. Separate financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1999 for each of the four lease pools in which the Company's hotels are organized are presented in this Offering Memorandum. Financial information of certain pools related to the sublease agreements for limited service properties are not presented, as the Company believes they are not material to the Company's financial statements. Financial information of Crestline may be found in its quarterly and annual filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the event that Crestline's obligation under a guaranty is reduced to zero, the applicable Pool Parent can elect to terminate its guaranty and the pooling agreement for that pool by giving notice to the Operating Partnership. In that event, subject to certain conditions, the Pool Parent's guaranty will terminate six months after the effective date of such notice, subject to reinstatement in certain limited circumstances. The Company sold the existing working capital to the applicable Lessee upon the commencement of the Lease at a price equal to the fair market value of such assets. The purchase price is represented by a note evidencing a loan that bears interest at a rate of 5.12%. Interest accrued on the working capital loan is due simultaneously with each periodic rent payment, and the amount of each payment of interest is credited against such rent payment. The principal amount of the working capital loan is payable upon termination of the Lease. The Lessee can return the working capital in satisfaction of the note. As of December 31, 1999, the note receivable from Crestline for working capital was $90 million. In the event the Company enters into an agreement to sell or otherwise transfer any full-service hotel free and clear of the applicable Lease, the Lessor must pay the Lessee a termination fee equal to the fair market value of the Lessee's leasehold interest in the remaining term of the Lease using a discount rate of 12%. Alternatively, the Lessor will be entitled to (i) substitute a comparable hotel or hotels for any hotel that is sold or (ii) sell the hotel subject to the Lease and certain conditions without being required to pay a termination fee. REIT Modernization Act. Under the REIT Modernization Act, beginning January 1, 2001, the Company could lease its hotels to one of its subsidiaries that is a taxable corporation and that elects to be treated as a "taxable REIT subsidiary". In addition, as a result of passage of the REIT Modernization Act, the Company has the right to purchase the leases from Crestline on or after January 1, 2001, for a price equal to the fair rental value of the lessee's interest in the leases over their remaining terms (which could be significant). Hospitality Properties Trust Relationship. The Company sold and leased back 37 of its Courtyard properties in 1995 and an additional 16 Courtyard properties in 1996 to Hospitality Properties Trust ("HPT"). Additionally, in 1996, the Company sold and leased back 18 of its Residence Inns to HPT. These leases, which are accounted for as operating leases and are included in the table below, have initial terms expiring through 2012 for the Courtyard properties and 2010 for the Residence Inn properties, and are renewable at the option of the Company. Minimum rent payments are $51 million annually for the Courtyard properties and $17 million annually for the Residence Inn properties, and additional rent based upon sales levels are payable to the owner under the terms of the leases. In connection with the REIT Conversion, the Company sublet the HPT hotels (the "Subleases") to separate indirect sublessee subsidiaries of Crestline ("Sublessee"), subject to the terms of the applicable HPT Lease. The term of each Sublease expires simultaneously with the expiration of the initial term of the HPT lease to which it relates and automatically renews for the corresponding renewal term under the HPT lease, unless either the HPT lessee (the "Sublessor") elects not to renew the HPT lease, or the Sublessee elects not to renew the Sublease at the expiration of the initial term provided, however, that neither party can elect to terminate fewer than all of the Subleases in a particular pool of HPT hotels (one for Courtyard by Marriott F-24 HOST MARRIOTT, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) hotels and one for Residence Inn hotels). Rent under the Sublease consists of the Minimum Rent payable under the HPT lease and an additional percentage rent payable to the Sublessor. The percentage rent is sufficient to cover the additional rent due under the HPT lease, with any excess being retained by the Sublessor. The rent payable under the Subleases is guaranteed by Crestline, up to a maximum amount of $30 million which amount is allocated between the two pools of HPT hotels. Other Lease Information. A number of the Company's leased hotel properties also include long-term ground leases for certain hotels, generally with multiple renewal options. Certain leases contain provision for the payment of contingent rentals based on a percentage of sales in excess of stipulated amounts. Future minimum annual rental commitments for all non-cancelable leases for which the Company is the lessee are as follows:
Capital Operating Leases Leases ------- --------- (in millions) 2000....................................................... $ 2 $ 109 2001....................................................... 1 105 2002....................................................... 1 101 2003....................................................... 1 97 2004....................................................... 1 103 Thereafter................................................. 3 1,236 --- ------ Total minimum lease payments............................... 9 $1,751 === ====== Less amount representing interest.......................... (3) --- Present value of minimum lease payments.................. $ 6 ===
Certain of the lease payments included in the table above relate to facilities used in the Company's former restaurant business. Most leases contain one or more renewal options, generally for five or 10-year periods. Future rentals on leases have not been reduced by aggregate minimum sublease rentals from restaurants and HPT subleases of $71 million and $851 million, respectively, payable to the Company under non-cancellable subleases. In conjunction with the refinancing of the mortgage of the New York Marriott Marquis, the Company also renegotiated the terms of the ground lease, retroactive to 1998. The renegotiated ground lease provides for the payment of a percentage of the hotel sales (3% in 1998, 4% in 1999 and 5% thereafter) through 2017, which is to be used to amortize the then existing deferred ground rent obligation of $116 million. The Company has the right to purchase the land under certain circumstances. The balance of the deferred ground rent obligation was $86 million at December 31, 1999. The Company remains contingently liable at December 31, 1999 on certain leases relating to divested non-lodging properties. Such contingent liabilities aggregated $80 million at December 31, 1999. However, management considers the likelihood of any substantial funding related to these leases to be remote. Rent expense consists of:

F-25 HOST MARRIOTT, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) 10. Employee Stock Plans In connection with the REIT conversion, the Company assumed the employee obligations of Host REIT. Upon the exercise of stock options in Host REIT common stock, Host REIT will issue shares of its common stock in return for the issuance of an equal number of OP Units of the Company. Accordingly, those liabilities and related disclosures are included in the Company's financial statements. At December 31, 1999, Host REIT maintained two stock-based compensation plans, including the comprehensive stock plan (the "Comprehensive Plan"), whereby Host REIT may award to participating employees (i) options to purchase Host REIT's common stock, (ii) deferred shares of Host REIT's common stock and (iii) restricted shares of Host REIT's common stock and the employee stock purchase plan (the "Employee Stock Purchase Plan"). Employee stock options may be granted to officers and key employees with an exercise price not less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Non-qualified options generally expire up to 15 years after the date of grant. Most options vest ratably over each of the first four years following the date of the grant. In connection with the Host Marriott Services ("HM Services") spin-off in 1995, outstanding options held by current and former employees of Host Marriott were redenominated in both Host Marriott and Host Marriott Services stock and the exercise prices of the options were adjusted based on the relative trading prices of shares of the common stock of the two companies. Pursuant to the distribution agreement between the Company and HM Services, the Company originally had the right to receive up to 1.4 million shares of HM Services' common stock or an equivalent cash value subsequent to exercise of the options held by certain former and current employees of Marriott International. On August 27, 1999, Autogrill Acquisition Co., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Autogrill SpA of Italy, acquired Host Marriott Services Corporation. Since Host Marriott Services is no longer publicly traded, all future payments to the Company will be made in cash as Host Marriott Services Corporation has indicated that the receivable will not be settled in Autogrill SpA stock. As of December 31, 1999, the receivable balance is approximately $11.9 million, which is included in other assets. Effective December 29, 1998, the Company adjusted the number of outstanding stock options and the related exercise prices to maintain the intrinsic value of the options to account for the Special Dividend and the Distribution. The vesting provisions and option period of the original grant was retained. No compensation expense was recorded by the Company as a result of these adjustments. Employee optionholders that remained with the Company received options only in Host REIT's stock and those employee optionholders that became Crestline employees received Crestline options in exchange for the Company's options. The Company continues to account for expense under its plans according to the provisions of Accounting Principle Board Opinion 25 and related interpretations as permitted under SFAS No. 123. Consequently, no compensation cost has been recognized for its fixed stock options under the Comprehensive Plan and its Employee Stock Purchase Plan. For purposes of the following disclosures required by SFAS No. 123, the fair value of each option granted has been estimated on the date of grant using an option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in 1999 and 1997, respectively: risk-free interest rate of 6.4% and 6.2%, volatility of 32% and 35%, expected lives of 12 years and 12 years, and dividend yield of $0.84 per share and no dividend yield. The weighted average fair value per option granted during the year was $1.15 in 1999 and $13.13 in 1997. No options were granted in 1998. Pro forma compensation cost for 1999, 1998 and 1997 would have reduced net income by approximately $919,000, $524,000 and $330,000. Basic and diluted earnings per share on a pro forma basis were not impacted by the pro forma compensation cost in 1999, 1998 and 1997. F-26 HOST MARRIOTT, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) The effects of the implementation of SFAS No. 123 are not representative of the effects on reported net income in future years because only the effects of stock option awards granted in 1997 and subsequent have been considered. A summary of the status of the Company's stock option plan for 1999, 1998 and 1997 follows:

Deferred stock incentive plan shares granted to officers and key employees after 1990 generally vest over 10 years in annual installments commencing one year after the date of grant. Certain employees may elect to defer payments until termination or retirement. The Company accrues compensation expense for the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant, less estimated forfeitures. In 1999, 1998 and 1997, 11,000, 12,000 and 14,000 shares were granted, respectively, under this plan. The compensation cost that has been charged against income for deferred stock was not material in 1999, 1998 and 1997. The weighted average fair value per share granted during each year was $14.31 in 1999, $19.21 in 1998 and $15.81 in 1997. The Company from time to time awards restricted Host REIT stock plan shares under the Comprehensive Plan to officers and key executives to be distributed over the next three to 10 years in annual installments based on continued employment and the attainment of certain performance criteria. The Company recognizes compensation expense over the restriction period equal to the fair market value of the shares on the date of issuance adjusted for forfeitures, and where appropriate, the level of attainment of performance criteria and fluctuations in the fair market value of Host REIT's common stock. In 1999, 1998 and 1997, 3,203,000, 2,900 F-27 HOST MARRIOTT, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) and 198,000 shares of additional restricted stock plan shares were granted to certain key employees under these terms and conditions. Approximately 5,000 and 17,000 shares were forfeited in 1999 and 1998, respectively. There were no shares forfeited in 1997. The Company recorded compensation expense of $7.7 million, $11 million and $13 million in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, related to these awards. The weighted average fair value per share granted during each year was $12.83 in 1999, $18.13 in 1998 and $16.88 in 1997. Under these awards 3,203,000 shares were outstanding at December 31, 1999. In 1998, 568,408 stock appreciation rights ("SARs") were issued under the Comprehensive Plan to certain directors of the Company as a replacement for previously issued options that were cancelled during the year. The conversion to SARs was completed in order to comply with ownership limits applicable to Host REIT upon conversion to a REIT. The SARs are fully vested and the grant prices range from $1.20 to $5.13. In 1999 and 1998, the Company recognized compensation (income) expense of $(2.7) million and $4.8 million, respectively, related to this grant. Additionally, in future periods, the Company will recognize compensation expense for outstanding SARs as a result of fluctuations in the market price of Host REIT's common stock. Under the terms of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, eligible employees may purchase common stock through payroll deductions at 90% of the lower of market value at the beginning or market value at the end of the plan year. 11. Profit Sharing and Postemployment Benefit Plans The Company contributes to profit sharing and other defined contribution plans for the benefit of employees meeting certain eligibility requirements and electing participation in the plans. The amount to be matched by the Company is determined annually by Host REIT's Board of Directors. The Company provides medical benefits to a limited number of retired employees meeting restrictive eligibility requirements. Amounts for these items were not material in 1997 through 1999. 12. Acquisitions and Dispositions The Company completed a 210-room expansion of the Philadelphia Marriott in April 1999 at a cost of approximately $37 million. Additionally, we acquired the remaining unaffiliated partnership interests in two full-service hotels by issuing approximately 612,000 cumulative preferred OP Units and paid cash of approximately $6.8 million. The Company acquired or gained controlling interest in 36 hotels with 15,166 rooms in 1998 and 18 hotels with 9,128 rooms in 1997. Twenty-five of the 1998 acquisitions, consisting of the Blackstone Acquisition and the Partnership Mergers, were completed on December 30, 1998 in conjunction with the REIT Conversion. Additionally, three full-service properties were contributed to one of the Non-Controlled Subsidiaries (Note 4). These acquisitions are summarized below. In December 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of, or controlling interests in, twelve hotels and one mortgage loan secured by an additional hotel (the "Blackstone Acquisition") from the Blackstone Group, a Delaware limited partnership, and a series of funds controlled by affiliates of Blackstone Real Estate Partners (together, the "Blackstone Entities"). In addition, the Company acquired a 25% interest in Swissotel Management (USA) L.L.C., which operates five Swissotel hotels in the United States, which the Company transferred to Crestline in connection with the Distribution. The Operating Partnership issued approximately 47.7 million OP Units, which are redeemable for the Company's common stock (or cash equivalent at Host Marriott's option) assumed debt and made cash payments totaling approximately $920 million and distributed 1.4 million of the shares of Crestline common stock to the Blackstone Entities. During 1999, approximately 467,000 OP Units were redeemed for common stock and an additional 233,000 OP Units were redeemed for $2 million in cash. As of December 31, 1999, the Blackstone Entities own approximately 16% of the outstanding OP Units of the Operating Partnership. F-28 HOST MARRIOTT, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) In December 1998, the Company announced the completion of the Partnership Mergers which was the roll-up of eight public partnerships and four private partnerships which own or control 28 properties, 13 of which were already consolidated (the "Partnership Mergers"). The Operating Partnership issued approximately 25.8 million OP Units to partners for their interests valued at approximately $333 million. As of December 31, 1999, approximately 16.8 million OP Units remain outstanding. As a result of these transactions, the Company increased its ownership of most of the 28 properties to 100% while consolidating 15 additional hotels (4,445 rooms). During 1998, the Company acquired an additional interest in the Atlanta Marriott Marquis II Limited Partnership, which owns an interest in the 1,671- room Atlanta Marriott Marquis for approximately $239 million. The Company also acquired a controlling interest in two partnerships that own four hotels for approximately $74 million. In addition, the Company acquired four Ritz-Carlton hotels and two additional hotels totaling over 2,200 rooms for approximately $465 million. In 1997, the Company acquired eight full-service hotels totaling 3,600 rooms for approximately $145 million. In addition, the Company acquired controlling interests in nine full-service hotels totaling 5,024 rooms for approximately $621 million, including the assumption of approximately $418 million of debt. The Company also completed the acquisition of the 504-room New York Marriott Financial Center, after acquiring the mortgage on the hotel for $101 million in late 1996. Also in 1997, the Company acquired the outstanding common stock of the Forum Group from Marriott Senior Living Services. The Company purchased the Forum Group portfolio of 29 senior living communities for approximately $460 million, including approximately $270 million in debt. The Company also acquired 49% of the remaining 50% interest in the partnership which owned the 418-unit Leisure Park retirement community for approximately $23 million, including the assumption of approximately $15 million of debt. The Company contributed these assets in conjunction with the Distribution of Crestline. The following table summarizes property dispositions for 1999 and 1998:

Short-term marketable securities and Convertible Preferred Securities are valued based on quoted market prices. Receivables from affiliates, notes and other financial assets are valued based on the expected future cash flows discounted at risk-adjusted rates. Valuations for secured debt are determined based on the expected future payments discounted at risk-adjusted rates. The fair values of the Bank Credit Facility and other notes are estimated to be equal to their carrying value. Senior notes are valued based on quoted market prices. The fair value of the liability related to the interest rate swap agreements assumed in the Blackstone Acquisition was $14 million. The fair value is based on the estimated amount the Company would pay or receive to terminate the swap agreements. The aggregate notional amount of the agreements was $365 million at December 31, 1998 and $100 million at January 2, 1998. The Company terminated all the swap agreements in 1999. 14. Marriott International Distribution and Relationship with Marriott International The Company and Marriott International (formerly a wholly owned subsidiary, the common stock of which was distributed to the Company's shareholders on October 8, 1993) have entered into various agreements in connection with the Marriott International Distribution and thereafter which provide, among other things, that (i) the majority of the Company's hotel lodging properties are managed by Marriott International (see Note 15); (ii) 13 of the Company's full- service properties are operated under franchise agreements with Marriott International with terms of 15 to 30 years; (iii) Marriott International provided the Company with $92 million of financing at an average rate of 9% in 1997 related to the Company's discontinued senior living operations; (iv) the Company acquired 49% of Marriott International's 50% interest in the Leisure Park retirement community in 1997 for $23 million, including approximately $15 million of assumed debt; (v) Marriott International guarantees the Company's performance in connection with certain obligations ($24 million at December 31, 1999); (vi) the Company borrowed and repaid $109 million of first mortgage financing for construction of the Philadelphia Marriott (see Note 5); (vii) Marriott International and the Company formed a joint venture and Marriott International provided the Company with $29 million in debt financing at an average interest rate of 12.7% and $28 million in preferred equity in 1996 for the acquisition of two full-service properties in Mexico City, Mexico; and (viii) Marriott International provides certain limited administrative services. In 1998 and 1997, the Company paid to Marriott International $196 million and $162 million, respectively, in hotel management fees and $9 million and $4 million, respectively, in franchise fees. Beginning in 1999, these fees, totaling $218 million in 1999, were paid by the lessees (see Note 9). In 1999, 1998 and 1997, the Company paid to Marriott International $0.3 million, $4 million and $13 million, respectively, in interest and commitment fees under the debt financing and line of credit provided by Marriott International, and F-30 HOST MARRIOTT, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) $3 million for each of those years for limited administrative services. In connection with the discontinued senior living communities' business, the Company paid Marriott International $13 million and $6 million in management fees during 1998 and 1997, respectively. Additionally, Marriott International has the right to purchase up to 20% of the voting stock of the Company if certain events involving a change in control of the Company occur. 15. Hotel Management Agreements Most of the Company's hotels are subject to management agreements (the "Agreements") under which Marriott International manages the Company's hotels, generally for an initial term of 15 to 20 years with renewal terms at the option of Marriott International of up to an additional 16 to 30 years. The Agreements generally provide for payment of base management fees equal to one to four percent of sales and incentive management fees generally equal to 20% to 50% of Operating Profit (as defined in the Agreements) over a priority return (as defined) to the Company, with total incentive management fees not to exceed 20% of cumulative Operating Profit, or 20% of current year Operating Profit. In the event of early termination of the Agreements, Marriott International will receive additional fees based on the unexpired term and expected future base and incentive management fees. The Company has the option to terminate certain management agreements if specified performance thresholds are not satisfied. No agreement with respect to a single lodging facility is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted to any other agreement and a single agreement may be canceled under certain conditions, although such cancellation will not trigger the cancellation of any other agreement. As a result of the REIT Conversion, all fees payable under the Agreements for subsequent periods are the primary obligations of the Lessees. The obligations of the Lessees are guaranteed to a limited extent by Crestline. The Company remains obligated to the managers in case the Lessee fails to pay these fees (but it would be entitled to reimbursement from the Lessee under the terms of the Leases). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreements, Marriott International is required to furnish the hotels with certain services ("Chain Services") which are generally provided on a central or regional basis to all hotels in the Marriott International hotel system. Chain Services include central training, advertising and promotion, a national reservation system, computerized payroll and accounting services, and such additional services as needed which may be more efficiently performed on a centralized basis. Costs and expenses incurred in providing such services are allocated among all domestic hotels managed, owned or leased by Marriott International or its subsidiaries. In addition, the Company's hotels also participate in the Marriott Rewards program. The cost of this program is charged to all hotels in the Marriott hotel system. Crestline, as the Company's Lessee, is obligated to provide the manager with sufficient funds to cover the cost of (a) certain non-routine repairs and maintenance to the hotels which are normally capitalized; and (b) replacements and renewals to the hotels' property and improvements. Under certain circumstances, Crestline will be required to establish escrow accounts for such purposes under terms outlined in the Agreements. Crestline assumed franchise agreements with Marriott International for 10 hotels. Pursuant to these franchise agreements, Crestline generally pays a franchise fee based on a percentage of room sales and food and beverage sales as well as certain other fees for advertising and reservations. Franchise fees for room sales vary from four to six percent of sales, while fees for food and beverage sales vary from two to three percent of sales. The terms of the franchise agreements are from 15 to 30 years. Crestline assumed management agreements with The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, LLC ("Ritz-Carlton"), an affiliate of Marriott International, to manage ten of the Company's hotels. These agreements have an initial term of 15 to 25 years with renewal terms at the option of Ritz-Carlton of up to an additional 10 to 40 years. F-31 HOST MARRIOTT, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) Base management fees vary from two to five percent of sales and incentive management fees are generally equal to 20% of available cash flow or operating profit, as defined in the agreements. Crestline also assumed management agreements with hotel management companies other than Marriott International and Ritz-Carlton for 23 of the Company's hotels (10 of which are franchised under the Marriott brand). These agreements generally provide for an initial term of 10 to 20 years with renewal terms at the option of either party or, in some cases, the hotel management company of up to an additional one to 15 years. The agreements generally provide for payment of base management fees equal to one to four percent of sales. Seventeen of the 23 agreements also provide for incentive management fees generally equal to 10 to 25 percent of available cash flow, operating profit, or net operating income, as defined in the agreements. 16. Relationship with Crestline Capital Corporation The Company and Crestline have entered into various agreements in connection with the Distribution as discussed in Note 2 and further outlined below. Distribution Agreement Crestline and the Company entered into a distribution agreement (the "Distribution Agreement"), which provided for, among other things, (i) the distribution of shares of Crestline in connection with the Distribution; (ii) the division between Crestline and the Company of certain assets and liabilities; (iii) the transfer to Crestline of the 25% interest in the Swissotel management company acquired in the Blackstone Acquisition and (iv) certain other agreements governing the relationship between Crestline and the Company following the Distribution. Crestline also granted the Company a contingent right to purchase Crestline's interest in Swissotel Management (USA) L.L.C. at fair market value in the event the tax laws are changed so that the Company could own such interest without jeopardizing its status as a REIT. Subject to certain exceptions, the Distribution Agreement provides for, among other things, assumptions of liabilities and cross-indemnities designed to allocate to Crestline, effective as of the date of the Distribution, financial responsibilities for liabilities arising out of, or in connection with, the business of the senior living communities. Asset Management Agreement The Company and the Non-Controlled Subsidiaries entered into asset management agreements (the "Asset Management Agreements") with Crestline whereby Crestline agrees to provide advice on the operation of the hotels and review financial results, projections, loan documents and hotel management agreements. Crestline also agrees to consult on market conditions and competition, as well as monitor and negotiate with governmental agencies, insurance companies and contractors. Crestline will be paid a fee not to exceed $4.5 million for each calendar year for its consulting services under the Asset Management Agreements, which includes $0.25 million related to the Non- Controlled Subsidiaries. The Asset Management Agreements each have terms of two years with an automatic one year renewal, unless earlier terminated by either party in accordance with the terms thereof. Non-Competition Agreement Crestline and the Company entered into a non-competition agreement that limits the respective parties' future business opportunities. Pursuant to this non-competition agreement, Crestline agrees, among other things, that until the earlier of December 31, 2008, or the date on which it is no longer a Lessee of more than 25% of the number of hotels owned by the Company at the time of the Distribution, it will not own any full service hotel, manage any limited service or full service hotel owned by the Company, or own or operate a full service hotel franchise system operating under a common name brand, subject to certain exceptions. In addition, the F-32 HOST MARRIOTT, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) Company agrees not to participate in the business of leasing, operating or franchising limited service or full service properties, subject to certain exceptions. 1998 Employee Benefits and Other Employment Matters Allocation Agreement As part of the REIT Conversion, the Company, the Operating Partnership and Crestline entered into the 1998 Employee Benefits Allocation Agreement relating to various compensation, benefits and labor matters. Under the agreement, the Operating Partnership and Crestline each assumed certain liabilities related to covered benefits and labor matters arising prior to the effective date of the Distribution and relating to employees of each organization, respectively, after the Distribution. The agreements also govern the treatment of awards under the Comprehensive Plan and requires the adoption of such a plan by Crestline and the Operating Partnership. 17. Litigation In connection with the REIT Conversion, the Company assumed all liability arising under legal proceedings filed against Host REIT and will indemnify Host REIT as to all such matters. We believe all of the lawsuits in which we are a defendant, including the following lawsuits, are without merit and we intend to defend vigorously against such claims; however, no assurance can be given as to the outcome of any of the lawsuits. On March 16, 1998, limited partners in several limited partnerships filed a lawsuit, the Texas Multi-Partnership Lawsuit, naming the Company, Marriott International and others as defendants and claiming that they conspired to sell hotels to the partnerships for inflated prices, that they charged the partnerships excessive management fees to operate the partnerships' hotels and otherwise breached their fiduciary duties. The lawsuit involved the following partnerships: Courtyard by Marriott Limited Partnership, Courtyard by Marriott II Limited Partnership, Marriott Residence Inn Limited Partnership, Marriott Residence Inn II Limited Partnership, Fairfield Inn by Marriott Limited Partnership, Desert Springs Marriott Limited Partnership and Atlanta Marriott Marquis Limited Partnership. Three other lawsuits, collectively, the Partnership Lawsuits, involving limited partners of some of the aforementioned partnerships had also been filed, at various dates beginning in June 1996 and include similar actions naming the Company, Marriott International and others as defendants. Host REIT and Marriott International announced they had executed a definitive settlement agreement to resolve the Texas Multi-Partnership Lawsuit and the Partnership Lawsuits. The understanding, which is still subject to numerous conditions, including court approval and various consents, has two principal features. First, the Company and Marriott International expect, through a joint venture to be formed between their affiliates, to acquire the equity interest of the limited partners in the two Courtyard partnerships for approximately $372 million. The Company's share of the acquisition costs of the Courtyard partnerships is expected to be $82 million. Second, the Company and Marriott International will each pay approximately $31 million to the limited partners of the remaining five partnerships in exchange for settlement of the litigation and a full release of claims. As a result of the proposed settlement, the Company has recorded a non-recurring, pre-tax charge of $40 million in 1999. The Company has also been named a defendant in other lawsuits involving various hotel partnerships. The lawsuits are ongoing, and although the ultimate resolution of lawsuits is not determinable, the Company does not believe the outcome will be material to the financial position, statement of operations or cash flows of the Company. F-33 HOST MARRIOTT, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) 18. Geographic and Business Segment Information The Company operates one business segment, hotel ownership. The Company's hotels are primarily operated under the Marriott or Ritz-Carlton brands, contain an average of approximately 474 rooms as of March 1, 2000, as well as supply other amenities such as meeting space and banquet facilities; a variety of restaurants and lounges; gift shops and swimming pools. They are typically located in downtown, airport, suburban and resort areas throughout the United States. During most of 1998, the Company's foreign operations consisted of six full-service hotel properties located in Mexico and Canada. As of December 31, 1999, the Company's foreign operations had decreased to four Canadian hotel properties, as the hotels in Mexico were contributed to Rockledge Hotel Properties, Inc. at year end 1998. There were no intercompany sales between the properties and the Company. The following table presents revenues and long- lived assets for each of the geographical areas in which the Company operates (in millions):

The long-lived assets for 1997 exclude $583 million of assets related to the discontinued senior living business. 19. Supplemental Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Subsidiary Information All subsidiaries of the Company guarantee the Senior Notes except those among the twenty one full service hotels listed below and HMH HPT Residence Inn, LLC and HMH HPT Courtyard, LLC, the leasees of the Residence Inn and Courtyard properties, respectively. The separate financial statements of each guaranteeing subsidiary (each, a "Guarantor Subsidiary") are not presented because the Company's management has concluded that such financial statements are not material to investors. The guarantee of each Guarantor Subsidiary is full and unconditional and joint and several and each Guarantor Subsidiary is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The non-guarantor subsidiaries (the "Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries") own the following full-service hotels: the Albany Marriott, Atlanta Marriott Marquis, Grand Hyatt, Atlanta, Harbor Beach Resort, Hartford Marriott, Hyatt Regency, Cambridge, Hyatt Regency, Reston, Manhattan Beach Marriott, Minneapolis Southwest Marriott, New York Marriott Marquis, Ontario Airport Marriott, Pittsburgh City Center Marriott, The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island, San Diego Marriott Hotel and Marina, San Diego Mission Valley, Swissotel Atlanta, Swissotel Boston, Swissotel Chicago, The Drake (Swissotel) New York and the Oklahoma City Waterford Marriott.

The quarterly data in the table above has been restated to reflect the Company's senior living business as a discontinued operation and the impact of the 1998 stock portion of the Special Dividend on earnings per share. The first three quarters consist of 12 weeks each in both 1999 and 1998, and the fourth quarter includes 16 weeks. The sum of the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per unit for the four quarters in 1999 and 1998 differs from the annual earnings per common share due to the required method of computing the weighted average number of shares in the respective periods. In December 1999, the Company changed its method of accounting for contingent rental revenues to conform to the Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101. As a result, contingent rental revenue will be deferred on the balance sheet until certain revenue thresholds are realized. We F-41 HOST MARRIOTT, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) have adopted SAB No. 101 with retroactive effect beginning January 1, 1999 to conform to the new presentation. SAB No. 101 has no impact on full-year 1999 revenues, net income, or earnings per share because all rental revenues considered contingent under SAB No. 101 were earned as of December 31, 1999. The change in accounting principle has no effect on prior years because percentage rent relates to rental income on our leases, which began in 1999. F-42 CCHP I CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 1999 With Independent Public Accountants' Report Thereon F-43 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To CCHP I Corporation: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of CCHP I Corporation and its subsidiaries (a Maryland corporation) as of December 31, 1999, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholder's equity and cash flows for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of CCHP I Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. F-48 CCHP I CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Organization CCHP I Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated in the state of Delaware on November 23, 1998 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Crestline Capital Corporation ("Crestline"). On December 29, 1998, Crestline became a publicly traded company when Host Marriott Corporation ("Host Marriott") completed its plan of reorganizing its business operations by spinning-off Crestline to the shareholders of Host Marriott as part of a series of transactions pursuant to which Host Marriott converted into a real estate investment trust ("REIT"). On December 31, 1998, wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company (the "Tenant Subsidiaries") entered into lease agreements with Host Marriott to lease 35 of Host Marriott's full-service hotels with the existing management agreements of the leased hotels assigned to the Tenant Subsidiaries. During 1999, Host Marriott sold three of the hotels and terminated the leases on those hotels. As of December 31, 1999, the Company leased 32 full-service hotels from Host Marriott. The Company operates as a unit of Crestline, utilizing Crestline's employees, insurance and administrative services since the Company does not have any employees. Certain direct expenses are paid by Crestline and charged directly or allocated to the Company. Certain general and administrative costs of Crestline are allocated to the Company, using a variety of methods, principally including Crestline's specific identification of individual costs and otherwise through allocations based upon estimated levels of effort devoted by general and administrative departments to the Company or relative measures of the size of the Company based on revenues. In the opinion of management, the methods for allocating general and administrative expenses and other direct costs are reasonable. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated. Fiscal Year The Company's fiscal year ends on the Friday nearest December 31. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at date of purchase as cash equivalents. Revenues The Company records the gross property-level revenues generated by the hotels as revenues. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements 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. F-49 CCHP I CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) Note 2. Leases Hotel Leases The Tenant Subsidiaries entered into leases with Host Marriott effective January 1, 1999 for 35 full-service hotels. Each hotel lease has an initial term generally ranging from three to seven years. The hotel leases generally have four seven-year renewal options at the option of the Company, however, Host Marriott may terminate any unexercised renewal options. The Tenant Subsidiaries are required to pay the greater of (i) a minimum rent specified in each hotel lease or (ii) a percentage rent based upon a specified percentage of aggregate revenues from the hotel, including room revenues, food and beverage revenues, and other income, in excess of specified thresholds. The amount of minimum rent is increased each year based upon 50% of the increase in CPI during the previous twelve months. Percentage rent thresholds are increased each year based on a blend of the increases in CPI and the Employment Cost Index during the previous twelve months. The hotel leases generally provide for a rent adjustment in the event of damage, destruction, partial taking or certain capital expenditures. The rent during any renewal periods will be negotiated at fair market value at the time the renewal option is exercised. The Tenant Subsidiaries are responsible for paying all of the expenses of operating the hotels, including all personnel costs, utility costs, and general repair and maintenance of the hotels. In addition, the Tenant Subsidiaries are responsible for all fees payable to the hotel manager, including base and incentive management fees, chain services payments and franchise or system fees. Host Marriott is responsible for real estate and personal property taxes, property casualty insurance, equipment rent, ground lease rent, maintaining a reserve fund for FF&E replacements and capital expenditures. In the event that Host Marriott disposes of a hotel free and clear of the hotel lease, Host Marriott would generally have to pay a termination fee equal to the fair market value of the Company's leasehold interest in the remaining term of the hotel lease using a discount rate of 12%. Alternatively, Host Marriott would be entitled to (i) substitute a comparable hotel for any hotel that is sold, with the terms agreed to by the Company, or (ii) sell the hotel subject to the hotel lease, subject to the Company's approval under certain circumstances, without having to pay a termination fee. In addition, Host Marriott also has the right to terminate up to twelve of Crestline's leases without having to pay a termination fee. During 1999, Host Marriott exercised its right to terminate three hotel leases of the Company and Crestline without having to pay a termination fee. Conversely, Crestline may terminate up to twelve full-service hotel leases without penalty upon 180 days notice to Host Marriott. During 1999, Crestline exercised its right to terminate two of the Company's hotel leases as well as three additional Crestline hotel leases. These hotel leases will terminate in 2000, 180 days after each respective notification date. As a result of the recent tax legislation discussed below, Host Marriott may purchase all, but not less than all, of its hotel leases with Crestline, beginning January 2, 2001, with the purchase price calculated as discussed above. The payment of the termination fee will be payable in cash or, subject to certain conditions, shares of Host Marriott common stock at the election of Host Marriott. For those hotels where Marriott International is the manager, it has a noneconomic membership interest with certain limited voting rights in the Tenant Subsidiaries. FF&E Leases Prior to entering into the hotel leases, if the average tax basis of a hotel's FF&E and other personal property exceeded 15% of the aggregate average tax basis of the hotel's real and personal property (the "Excess FF&E"), the Tenant Subsidiaries and affiliates of Host Marriott entered into lease agreements (the "FF&E Leases") for the Excess FF&E. The terms of the FF&E Leases generally range from two to three years F-50 CCHP I CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) and rent under the FF&E Leases is a fixed amount. The Company will have the option at the expiration of the FF&E Lease term to either (i) renew the FF&E Leases for consecutive one-year renewal terms at fair market rental rate, or (ii) purchase the Excess FF&E for a price equal to its fair market value. If the Company does not exercise its purchase or renewal option, the Company is required to pay a termination fee equal to approximately one month's rent. Guaranty and Pooling Agreement In connection with entering into the hotel leases, the Company, Crestline and Host Marriott, entered into a pool guarantee and a pooling and security agreement by which the Company provides a full guarantee and Crestline provides a limited guarantee of all of the hotel lease obligations. The cumulative limit of Crestline's guarantee obligation is the greater of ten percent of the aggregate rent payable for the immediately preceding fiscal year under all of the Company's hotel leases or ten percent of the aggregate rent payable under all of the Company's hotel leases for 1999. In the event that Crestline's obligation under the pooling and guarantee agreement is reduced to zero, the Company can terminate the agreement and Host Marriott can terminate the Company's hotel leases without penalty. All of the Company's leases are cross-defaulted and the Company's obligations under the guaranty are secured by all the funds received from its Tenant Subsidiaries. Recent Tax Legislation On December 17, 1999 President Clinton signed the Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999. Included in this legislation are provisions that, effective January 1, 2001, will allow a REIT to lease hotels to a "taxable REIT subsidiary" if the hotel is operated and managed on behalf of such subsidiary by an independent third party. A taxable REIT subsidiary is a corporation that is owned more than 35 percent by a REIT. This law will enable Host Marriott, beginning in 2001 to lease its hotels to a taxable REIT subsidiary. Host Marriott may, at its discretion, elect to terminate the Company's leases, beginning in 2001, and pay termination fees determined according to formulas specified in the leases. If Host Marriott elects to terminate the full-service hotel leases, it would have to terminate all of Crestline's full-service hotel leases. Future minimum annual rental commitments for all non-cancelable leases as of December 31, 1999 are as follows (in thousands): 2000............................................................... $161,094 2001............................................................... 158,406 2002............................................................... 156,630 2003............................................................... 156,630 2004............................................................... 141,614 Thereafter......................................................... 141,614 -------- Total minimum lease payments..................................... $915,988 ======== Lease expense for 1999 consisted of the following (in thousands): Base rent.......................................................... $167,996 Percentage rent.................................................... 108,062 -------- $276,058 ========
F-51 CCHP I CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) Note 3. Working Capital Notes Upon the commencement of the hotel leases, the Company purchased the working capital of the leased hotels from Host Marriott for $26,832,000 with the purchase price evidenced by notes that bear interest at 5.12%. Interest on each note is due simultaneously with the rent payment of each hotel lease. The principal amount of each note is due upon the termination of each hotel lease. Upon termination of the hotel lease, the Company will sell Host Marriott the existing working capital at its current value. To the extent the working capital delivered to Host Marriott is less than the value of the note, the Company will pay Host Marriott the difference in cash. However, to the extent the working capital delivered to Host Marriott exceeds the value of the note, Host Marriott will pay the Company the difference in cash. As of December 31, 1999, the outstanding balance of the working capital notes was $26,011,000. Debt maturities at December 31, 1999 are as follows (in thousands): 2000................................................................. $ 135 2001................................................................. 1,205 2002................................................................. -- 2003................................................................. 3,005 2004................................................................. -- Thereafter........................................................... 21,666 ------- $26,011 =======
Cash paid for interest expense in 1999 totaled $1,463,000. Note 4. Management Agreements All of the Company's hotels are operated by hotel management companies under long-term hotel management agreements between Host Marriott and hotel management companies. Assignment of Management Agreements The existing management agreements were assigned to the Tenant Subsidiaries upon the execution of the hotel leases for the term of each corresponding hotel lease. The Tenant Subsidiaries are obligated to perform all of the obligations of Host Marriott under the hotel management agreements including payment of fees due under the management agreements other than certain obligations including payment of property taxes, property casualty insurance and ground rent, maintaining a reserve fund for FF&E replacements and capital expenditures for which Host Marriott retains responsibility. Marriott International Management Agreements Marriott International manages 28 of the 32 hotels under long-term management agreements assigned to the Tenant Subsidiaries, generally for an initial term of 15 to 20 years with renewal terms at the option of Marriott International of up to an additional 16 to 30 years. The management agreements generally provide for payment of base management fees equal to one to four percent of revenues and incentive management fees generally equal to 20% to 50% of Operating Profit (as defined in the management agreements) over a priority return (as defined) to the Tenant Subsidiaries, with total incentive management fees not to exceed 20% of cumulative Operating Profit, or 20% of current year Operating Profit. F-52 CCHP I CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) Pursuant to the terms of the management agreements, Marriott International is required to furnish the hotels with certain services ("Chain Services") which are generally provided on a central or regional basis to all hotels in the Marriott International hotel system. Chain Services include central training, advertising and promotion, a national reservation system, computerized payroll and accounting services, and such additional services as needed which may be more efficiently performed on a centralized basis. Costs and expenses incurred in providing such services are allocated among all domestic hotels managed, owned or leased by Marriott International or its subsidiaries. In addition, the Company's hotels also participate in the Marriott Rewards program. The cost of this program is charged to all hotels in the Marriott hotel system. Other Hotel Management Agreements The Company's remaining four hotels are managed by other hotel management companies. One of the hotels is managed by Swissotel Management (USA) LLC, one is managed by Four Seasons Hotel Limited, and the remaining two hotels are managed by other independent hotel management companies under the "Marriott" brand pursuant to franchise agreements. The managers of the hotels provide similar services as Marriott International under its management agreements and receive base management fees, generally calculated as a percentage of revenues, and in most cases, incentive management fees, which are generally calculated as a percentage of operating profits. The Company has the option to terminate certain management agreements if specified performance thresholds are not satisfied, with the consent of Host Marriott under certain conditions. No agreement with respect to a single lodging facility is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted to any other agreement and a single agreement may be canceled under certain conditions, although such cancellation will not trigger the cancellation of any other agreement. Franchise Agreements Two of the Company's hotels are managed under franchise agreements between Host Marriott and Marriott International for terms ranging from 15 to 30 years. In connection with the assignment of the corresponding management agreement, the Tenant Subsidiaries assumed the franchise agreements for these hotels and will be the franchisee for the term of the corresponding hotel lease. Pursuant to the franchise agreements, the Tenant Subsidiaries generally pay a franchise fee based on a percentage of room revenues and food and beverage revenues as well as certain other fees for advertising and reservations. Franchise fees for room revenues vary from four to six percent, while fees for food and beverage revenues vary from two to three percent of revenues. Note 5. Income Taxes The Company is included in the consolidated Federal income tax return of Crestline and its affiliates (the "Group"). Tax expense is allocated to the Company as a member of the Group based upon the relative contribution to the Group's consolidated taxable income/loss and changes in temporary differences. This allocation method results in Federal and state tax expense allocated for the period presented that is substantially equal to the expense that would have been recognized if the Company had filed separate tax returns. F-53 CCHP I CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) The provision for income taxes for 1999 consists of the following (in thousands): Current--Federal...................................................... $3,536 --State........................................................... 606 ------ 4,142 ------ Deferred--Federal..................................................... 877 --State........................................................... 150 ------ 1,027 ------ $5,169 ======
A reconciliation of the statutory Federal tax rate to the Company's effective income tax rate for 1999 follows: Statutory federal tax rate............................................. 35.0% State income taxes, net of federal tax benefit......................... 6.0 ---- 41.0% ====
As of December 31, 1999, the Company had no deferred tax assets. The tax effect of the temporary difference that gives rise to the Company's deferred tax liability is attributable to the hotel working capital. Note 6. Sale of the Company's Lessee Entities (unaudited), Subsequent to Date of Auditor's Report On November 13, 2000, Crestline, the Company and other subsidiaries of Crestline entered into an acquisition and exchange agreement with a subsidiary of Host Marriott for the sale of Crestline's entities owning the lease rights to Host Marriott's portfolio of full-service hotels, including the lessee entities of the Company. The transaction will generally transfer ownership of those lessee entities currently owned by Crestline, including the Company, to a subsidiary of Host Marriott for a total consideration of $205 million, the proceeds of which will be paid entirely in cash. The transaction is expected to close at the beginning of 2001. In connection with the sale of its full-service hotel lessee entities, Crestline's full-service hotel working capital and full- service hotel working capital notes will be transferred to a subsidiary of Host Marriott.

Host Marriott may, at its discretion, elect to terminate the Company's leases, beginning in 2001, and pay termination fees determined according to formulas specified in the leases. If Host Marriott elects to terminate the full-service hotel leases, it would have to terminate all of Crestline's full-service hotel leases.

F-63 CCHP II CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) Note 3. Working Capital Notes Upon the commencement of the hotel leases, the Company purchased the working capital of the leased hotels from Host Marriott for $18,090,000 with the purchase price evidenced by notes that bear interest at 5.12%. Interest on each note is due simultaneously with the rent payment of each hotel lease. The principal amount of each note is due upon the termination of each hotel lease. Upon termination of the hotel lease, the Company will sell Host Marriott the existing working capital at its current value. To the extent the working capital delivered to Host Marriott is less than the value of the note, the Company will pay Host Marriott the difference in cash. However, to the extent the working capital delivered to Host Marriott exceeds the value of the note, Host Marriott will pay the Company the difference in cash. As of December 31, 1999, the outstanding balance of the working capital notes was $18,090,000. Debt maturities at December 31, 1999 are as follows (in thousands): 2000............................................................... $ -- 2001............................................................... -- 2002............................................................... -- 2003............................................................... -- 2004............................................................... -- Thereafter......................................................... 18,090 ------- $18,090 =======
Cash paid for interest expense in 1999 totaled $856,000. Note 4. Management Agreements All of the Company's hotels are operated by hotel management companies under long-term hotel management agreements between Host Marriott and hotel management companies. Assignment of Management Agreements The existing management agreements were assigned to the Tenant Subsidiaries upon the execution of the hotel leases for the term of each corresponding hotel lease. The Tenant Subsidiaries are obligated to perform all of the obligations of Host Marriott under the hotel management agreements including payment of fees due under the management agreements other than certain obligations including payment of property taxes, property casualty insurance and ground rent, maintaining a reserve fund for FF&E replacements and capital expenditures for which Host Marriott retains responsibility. Marriott International Management Agreements Marriott International manages 20 of the 28 hotels under long-term management agreements assigned to the Tenant Subsidiaries, generally for an initial term of 15 to 20 years with renewal terms at the option of Marriott International of up to an additional 16 to 30 years. The management agreements generally provide for payment of base management fees equal to one to four percent of revenues and incentive management fees generally equal to 20% to 50% of Operating Profit (as defined in the management agreements) over a priority return (as defined) to the Tenant Subsidiaries, with total incentive management fees not to exceed 20% of cumulative Operating Profit, or 20% of current year Operating Profit. Pursuant to the terms of the management agreements, Marriott International is required to furnish the hotels with certain services ("Chain Services") which are generally provided on a central or regional basis to F-64 CCHP II CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) all hotels in the Marriott International hotel system. Chain Services include central training, advertising and promotion, a national reservation system, computerized payroll and accounting services, and such additional services as needed which may be more efficiently performed on a centralized basis. Costs and expenses incurred in providing such services are allocated among all domestic hotels managed, owned or leased by Marriott International or its subsidiaries. In addition, the Company's hotels also participate in the Marriott Rewards program. The cost of this program is charged to all hotels in the Marriott hotel system. Ritz-Carlton Hotel Management Agreements The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, LLC ("Ritz-Carlton"), an affiliate of Marriott International, manages three of the leased hotels under long-term Hotel Management Agreements assigned to the Tenant Subsidiaries. These agreements have an initial term of 15 to 25 years with renewal terms at the option of Ritz-Carlton of up to an additional 10 to 40 years. Base management fees vary from two to four percent of revenues and incentive management fees are generally equal to 20% of available cash flow or operating profit, up to a maximum of 2.1% of revenues, as defined in the agreements. Other Hotel Management Agreements The Company's remaining five hotels are managed by other hotel management companies. One of the hotels is managed by the Hyatt Corporation and the remaining four hotels are managed by other independent hotel management companies under other brands pursuant to franchise agreements. The managers of the hotels provide similar services as Marriott International under its management agreements and receive base management fees, generally calculated as a percentage of revenues, and in most cases, incentive management fees, which are generally calculated as a percentage of operating profits. The Company has the option to terminate certain management agreements if specified performance thresholds are not satisfied, with the consent of Host Marriott under certain conditions. No agreement with respect to a single lodging facility is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted to any other agreement and a single agreement may be canceled under certain conditions, although such cancellation will not trigger the cancellation of any other agreement. Franchise Agreements Four of the Company's hotels are managed under franchise agreements between Host Marriott and other hotel companies for terms ranging from 15 to 30 years. In connection with the assignment of the corresponding management agreement, the Tenant Subsidiaries assumed the franchise agreements for these hotels and will be the franchisee for the term of the corresponding hotel lease. Pursuant to the franchise agreements, the Tenant Subsidiaries generally pay a franchise fee based on a percentage of room revenues and food and beverage revenues as well as certain other fees for advertising and reservations. Franchise fees for room revenues vary from four to six percent, while fees for food and beverage revenues vary from two to three percent of revenues. Note 5. Income Taxes The Company is included in the consolidated Federal income tax return of Crestline and its affiliates (the "Group"). Tax expense is allocated to the Company as a member of the Group based upon the relative contribution to the Group's consolidated taxable income/loss and changes in temporary differences. This allocation method results in Federal and net state tax expense allocated for the period presented that is substantially equal to the expense that would have been recognized if the Company had filed separate tax returns. F-65 CCHP II CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) The provision for income taxes for 1999 consists of the following (in thousands): Current--Federal..................................................... $4,981 --State.......................................................... 854 ------ 5,835 ------ Deferred--Federal.................................................... 850 --State.......................................................... 146 ------ 996 ------ $6,831 ======
A reconciliation of the statutory Federal tax rate to the Company's effective income tax rate for 1999 follows: Statutory federal tax rate............................................. 35.0% State income taxes, net of federal tax benefit......................... 6.0 ---- 41.0% ====
As of December 31, 1999, the Company had no deferred tax assets. The tax effect of the temporary differences that gives rise to the Company's federal deferred tax liability is attributable to the hotel working capital. Note 6. Sale of the Company's Lessee Entities (unaudited), Subsequent to Date of Auditor's Report On November 13, 2000, Crestline, the Company and other subsidiaries of Crestline entered into an acquisition and exchange agreement with a subsidiary of Host Marriott for the sale of Crestline's entities owning the lease rights to Host Marriott's portfolio of full-service hotels, including the lessee entities of the Company. The transaction will generally transfer ownership of those lessee entities currently owned by Crestline, including the Company, to a subsidiary of Host Marriott for a total consideration of $205 million, the proceeds of which will be paid entirely in cash. The transaction is expected to close at the beginning of 2001. In connection with the sale of its full-service hotel lessee entities, Crestline's full-service hotel working capital and full- service hotel working capital notes will be transferred to a subsidiary of Host Marriott.

See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. F-72 CCHP III CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Organization CCHP III Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated in the state of Delaware on November 23, 1998 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Crestline Capital Corporation ("Crestline"). On December 29, 1998, Crestline became a publicly traded company when Host Marriott Corporation ("Host Marriott") completed its plan of reorganizing its business operations by spinning-off Crestline to the shareholders of Host Marriott as part of a series of transactions pursuant to which Host Marriott converted into a real estate investment trust ("REIT"). On December 31, 1998, wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company (the "Tenant Subsidiaries") entered into lease agreements with Host Marriott to lease 31 of Host Marriott's full-service hotels with the existing management agreements of the leased hotels assigned to the Tenant Subsidiaries. During 1999, Host Marriott sold two of the hotels and terminated the leases on those hotels. As of December 31, 1999, the Company leased 29 full-service hotels from Host Marriott. The Company operates as a unit of Crestline, utilizing Crestline's employees, insurance and administrative services since the Company does not have any employees. Certain direct expenses are paid by Crestline and charged directly or allocated to the Company. Certain general and administrative costs of Crestline are allocated to the Company, using a variety of methods, principally including Crestline's specific identification of individual costs and otherwise through allocations based upon estimated levels of effort devoted by general and administrative departments to the Company or relative measures of the size of the Company based on revenues. In the opinion of management, the methods for allocating general and administrative expenses and other direct costs are reasonable. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated. Fiscal Year The Company's fiscal year ends on the Friday nearest December 31. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at date of purchase as cash equivalents. Restricted Cash In connection with the lender requirements of one of the leased hotels, the Company is required to maintain a separate account with the lender on behalf of the Company for the operating profit and incentive management fees of the hotel. Following the annual audit, amounts will be distributed to the hotel's manager and to the Company, in accordance with the loan agreement. Revenues The Company records the gross property-level revenues generated by the hotels as revenues. F-73 CCHP III CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements 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. Note 2. Leases Hotel Leases The Tenant Subsidiaries entered into leases with Host Marriott effective January 1, 1999 for 31 full-service hotels. Each hotel lease has an initial term of nine years. The hotel leases generally have four seven-year renewal options at the option of the Company, however, Host Marriott may terminate any unexercised renewal options. The Tenant Subsidiaries are required to pay the greater of (i) a minimum rent specified in each hotel lease or (ii) a percentage rent based upon a specified percentage of aggregate revenues from the hotel, including room revenues, food and beverage revenues, and other income, in excess of specified thresholds. The amount of minimum rent is increased each year based upon 50% of the increase in CPI during the previous twelve months. Percentage rent thresholds are increased each year based on a blend of the increases in CPI and the Employment Cost Index during the previous twelve months. The hotel leases generally provide for a rent adjustment in the event of damage, destruction, partial taking or certain capital expenditures. The rent during any renewal periods will be negotiated at fair market value at the time the renewal option is exercised. The Tenant Subsidiaries are responsible for paying all of the expenses of operating the hotels, including all personnel costs, utility costs, and general repair and maintenance of the hotels. In addition, the Tenant Subsidiaries are responsible for all fees payable to the hotel manager, including base and incentive management fees, chain services payments and franchise or system fees. Host Marriott is responsible for real estate and personal property taxes, property casualty insurance, equipment rent, ground lease rent, maintaining a reserve fund for FF&E replacements and capital expenditures. In the event that Host Marriott disposes of a hotel free and clear of the hotel lease, Host Marriott would generally have to pay a termination fee equal to the fair market value of the Company's leasehold interest in the remaining term of the hotel lease using a discount rate of 12%. Alternatively, Host Marriott would be entitled to (i) substitute a comparable hotel for any hotel that is sold, with the terms agreed to by the Company, or (ii) sell the hotel subject to the hotel lease, subject to the Company's approval under certain circumstances, without having to pay a termination fee. In addition, Host Marriott also has the right to terminate up to twelve of Crestline's leases without having to pay a termination fee. During 1999, Host Marriott exercised its right to terminate three of Crestline's hotel leases, however, none of these were the Company's hotel leases. Conversely, Crestline may terminate up to twelve full-service hotel leases without penalty upon 180 days notice to Host Marriott. During 1999, Crestline exercised its right to terminate three of the Company's hotel leases, as well as two additional Crestline hotel leases. These hotel leases will terminate in 2000, 180 days after each respective notification date. In 1999, Host Marriott terminated two of the Company's hotel leases with no termination fee as stipulated in those specific lease agreements. As a result of the recent tax legislation discussed below, Host Marriott may purchase all, but not less than all, of its hotel leases with Crestline beginning January 1, 2001 with the purchase price calculated as discussed above. The payment of the termination fee will be payable in cash or, subject to certain conditions, shares of Host Marriott common stock at the election of Host Marriott. F-74 CCHP III CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) For those hotels where Marriott International is the manager, it has a noneconomic membership interest with certain limited voting rights in the Tenant Subsidiaries. FF&E Leases Prior to entering into the hotel leases, if the average tax basis of a hotel's FF&E and other personal property exceeded 15% of the aggregate average tax basis of the hotel's real and personal property (the "Excess FF&E"), the Tenant Subsidiaries and affiliates of Host Marriott entered into lease agreements (the "FF&E Leases") for the Excess FF&E. The terms of the FF&E Leases generally range from two to three years and rent under the FF&E Leases is a fixed amount. The Company will have the option at the expiration of the FF&E Lease term to either (i) renew the FF&E Leases for consecutive one-year renewal terms at fair market rental rate, or (ii) purchase the Excess FF&E for a price equal to its fair market value. If the Company does not exercise its purchase or renewal option, the Company is required to pay a termination fee equal to approximately one month's rent. Guaranty and Pooling Agreement In connection with entering into the hotel leases, the Company, Crestline and Host Marriott, entered into a pool guarantee and a pooling and security agreement by which the Company provides a full guarantee and Crestline provides a limited guarantee of all of the hotel lease obligations. The cumulative limit of Crestline's guarantee obligation is the greater of ten percent of the aggregate rent payable for the immediately preceding fiscal year under all of the Company's hotel leases or ten percent of the aggregate rent payable under all of the Company's hotel leases for 1999. In the event that Crestline's obligation under the pooling and guarantee agreement is reduced to zero, the Company can terminate the agreement and Host Marriott can terminate the Company's hotel leases without penalty. All of the Company's leases are cross-defaulted and the Company's obligations under the guaranty are secured by all the funds received from its Tenant Subsidiaries. Recent Tax Legislation On December 17, 1999 President Clinton signed the Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999. Included in this legislation are provisions that, effect January 1, 2001, will allow a REIT to lease hotels to a "taxable REIT subsidiary" if the hotel is operated and managed on behalf of such subsidiary by an independent third party. A taxable REIT subsidiary is a corporation that is owned more than 35 percent by a REIT. This law will enable Host Marriott, beginning in 2001 to lease its hotels to a taxable REIT subsidiary. Host Marriott may, at its discretion, elect to terminate the Company's leases, beginning in 2001, and pay termination fees determined according to formulas specified in the leases. If Host Marriott elects to terminate the full-service hotel leases, it would have to terminate all of Crestline's full-service hotel leases.

Interest on each note is due simultaneously with the rent payment of each hotel lease. The principal amount of each note is due upon the termination of each hotel lease. Upon termination of the hotel lease, the Company will sell Host Marriott the existing working capital at its current value. To the extent the working capital delivered to Host Marriott is less than the value of the note, the Company will pay Host Marriott the difference in cash. However, to the extent the working capital delivered to Host Marriott exceeds the value of the note, Host Marriott will pay the Company the difference in cash. As of December 31, 1999, the outstanding balance of the working capital notes was $21,697,000. Debt maturities at December 31, 1999 are as follows (in thousands): 2000................................................................. $ -- 2001................................................................. -- 2002................................................................. -- 2003................................................................. -- 2004................................................................. -- Thereafter........................................................... 21,697 ------- $21,697 =======

In addition, the Company's hotels also participate in the Marriott Rewards program. The cost of this program is charged to all hotels in the Marriott hotel system. Ritz-Carlton Hotel Management Agreements The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, LLC ("Ritz-Carlton"), an affiliate of Marriott International, manages three of the leased hotels under long-term Hotel Management Agreements assigned to the Company. These agreements have an initial term of 15 to 25 years with renewal terms at the option of Ritz-Carlton of up to an additional 10 to 40 years. Base Management fees vary from two to four percent of revenues and incentive management fees are generally equal to 20% of available cash flow or operating profit, up to a maximum of 2.1% of revenues, as defined in the agreements. Other Hotel Management Agreements The Company's remaining eight hotels are managed by other hotel management companies. Two of the hotels are managed by Swissotel Management (USA) LLC, one is managed by the Hyatt Corporation, and the remaining five hotels are managed by other independent hotel management companies under the "Marriott" brand pursuant to franchise agreements. The managers of the hotels provide similar services as Marriott International under its management agreements and receive base management fees, generally calculated as a percentage of revenues, and in most cases, incentive management fees, which are generally calculated as a percentage of operating profits. The Company has the option to terminate certain management agreements if specified performance thresholds are not satisfied, with the consent of Host Marriott under certain conditions. No agreement with respect to a single lodging facility is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted to any other agreement and a single agreement may be canceled under certain conditions, although such cancellation will not trigger the cancellation of any other agreement. Franchise Agreements Five of the Company's hotels are managed under franchise agreements between Host Marriott and Marriott International for terms ranging from 15 to 30 years. In connection with the assignment of the F-77 CCHP III CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) corresponding management agreement, the Tenant Subsidiaries assumed the franchise agreements for these hotels and will be the franchisee for the term of the corresponding hotel lease.

See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. F-84 CCHP IV CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Organization CCHP IV Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated in the state of Delaware on November 23, 1998 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Crestline Capital Corporation ("Crestline"). On December 29, 1998, Crestline became a publicly traded company when Host Marriott Corporation ("Host Marriott") completed its plan of reorganizing its business operations by spinning-off Crestline to the shareholders of Host Marriott as part of a series of transactions pursuant to which Host Marriott converted into a real estate investment trust ("REIT"). On December 31, 1998, wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company (the "Tenant Subsidiaries") entered into lease agreements with Host Marriott to lease 27 of Host Marriott's full-service hotels with the existing management agreements of the leased hotels assigned to the Tenant Subsidiaries. As of December 31, 1999, the Company leased 27 full-service hotels from Host Marriott. The Company operates as a unit of Crestline, utilizing Crestline's employees, insurance and administrative services since the Company does not have any employees. Certain direct expenses are paid by Crestline and charged directly or allocated to the Company. Certain general and administrative costs of Crestline are allocated to the Company, using a variety of methods, principally including Crestline's specific identification of individual costs and otherwise through allocations based upon estimated levels of effort devoted by general and administrative departments to the Company or relative measures of the size of the Company based on revenues. In the opinion of management, the methods for allocating general and administrative expenses and other direct costs are reasonable. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated. Fiscal Year The Company's fiscal year ends on the Friday nearest December 31. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at date of purchase as cash equivalents. Revenues The Company records the gross property-level revenues generated by the hotels as revenues. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements 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. F-85 CCHP IV CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) Note 2. Leases Hotel Leases The Tenant Subsidiaries entered into leases with Host Marriott effective January 1, 1999 for 27 full-service hotels. Each hotel lease has an initial term of ten years. The hotel leases generally have four seven-year renewal options at the option of the Company, however, Host Marriott may terminate any unexercised renewal options. The Tenant Subsidiaries are required to pay the greater of (i) a minimum rent specified in each hotel lease or (ii) a percentage rent based upon a specified percentage of aggregate revenues from the hotel, including room revenues, food and beverage revenues, and other income, in excess of specified thresholds. The amount of minimum rent is increased each year based upon 50% of the increase in CPI during the previous twelve months. Percentage rent thresholds are increased each year based on a blend of the increases in CPI and the Employment Cost Index during the previous twelve months. The hotel leases generally provide for a rent adjustment in the event of damage, destruction, partial taking or certain capital expenditures. The rent during any renewal periods will be negotiated at fair market value at the time this renewal option is exercised. The Tenant Subsidiaries are responsible for paying all of the expenses of operating the hotels, including all personnel costs, utility costs, and general repair and maintenance of the hotels. In addition, the Tenant Subsidiaries are responsible for all fees payable to the hotel manager, including base and incentive management fees, chain services payments and franchise or system fees. Host Marriott is responsible for real estate and personal property taxes, property casualty insurance, equipment rent, ground lease rent, maintaining a reserve fund for FF&E replacements and capital expenditures. In the event that Host Marriott disposes of a hotel free and clear of the hotel lease, Host Marriott would generally have to pay a termination fee equal to the fair market value of the Company's leasehold interest in the remaining term of the hotel lease using a discount rate of 12%. Alternatively, Host Marriott would be entitled to (i) substitute a comparable hotel for any hotel that is sold, with the terms agreed to by the Company, or (ii) sell the hotel subject to the hotel lease, subject to the Company's approval under certain circumstances, without having to pay a termination fee. In addition, Host Marriott also has the right to terminate up to twelve of Crestline's leases without having to pay a termination fee. During 1999, Host Marriott exercised its right to terminate three of Crestline's hotel leases, however, none of these were the Company's hotel leases. Conversely, Crestline may terminate up to twelve full-service hotel leases without penalty upon 180 days notice to Host Marriott. During 1999, Crestline exercised its right to terminate five of its hotel leases, however, none of these were the Company's hotel leases. As a result of the recent tax legislation discussed below, Host Marriott may purchase all, but not less than all, of its hotel leases with Crestline beginning January 1, 2001 with the purchase price calculated as discussed above. The payment of the termination fee will be payable in cash or, subject to certain conditions, shares of Host Marriott common stock at the election of Host Marriott. For those hotels where Marriott International is the manager, it has a noneconomic membership interest with certain limited voting rights in the Tenant Subsidiaries. FF&E Leases Prior to entering into the hotel leases, if the average tax basis of a hotel's FF&E and other personal property exceeded 15% of the aggregate average tax basis of the hotel's real and personal property (the "Excess FF&E"), the Tenant Subsidiaries and affiliates of Host Marriott entered into lease agreements (the "FF&E Leases") for the Excess FF&E. The terms of the FF&E Leases generally range from two to three years and rent under the FF&E Leases is a fixed amount. The Company will have the option at the expiration of the F-86 CCHP IV CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) FF&E Lease term to either (i) renew the FF&E Leases for consecutive one-year renewal terms at fair market rental rate, or (ii) purchase the Excess FF&E for a price equal to its fair market value. If the Company does not exercise its purchase or renewal option, the Company is required to pay a termination fee equal to approximately one month's rent. Guaranty and Pooling Agreement In connection with entering into the hotel leases, the Company, Crestline and Host Marriott, entered into a pool guarantee and a pooling and security agreement by which the Company provides a full guarantee and Crestline provides a limited guarantee of all of the hotel lease obligations. The cumulative limit of Crestline's guarantee obligation is the greater of ten percent of the aggregate rent payable for the immediately preceding fiscal year under all of the Company's hotel leases or ten percent of the aggregate rent payable under all of the Company's hotel leases for 1999. In the event that Crestline's obligation under the pooling and guarantee agreement is reduced to zero, the Company can terminate the agreement and Host Marriott can terminate the Company's hotel leases without penalty. All of the Company's leases are cross-defaulted and the Company's obligations under the guaranty are secured by all the funds received from its Tenant Subsidiaries. Recent Tax Legislation On December 17, 1999 President Clinton signed the Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999. Included in this legislation are provisions that, effect January 1, 2001, will allow a REIT to lease hotels to a "taxable REIT subsidiary" if the hotel is operated and managed on behalf of such subsidiary by an independent third party. A taxable REIT subsidiary is a corporation that is owned more than 35 percent by a REIT. This law will enable Host Marriott, beginning in 2001 to lease its hotels to a taxable REIT subsidiary. Host Marriott may, at its discretion, elect to terminate the Company's leases, beginning in 2001, and pay termination fees determined according to formulas specified in the leases. If Host Marriott elects to terminate the full-service hotel leases, it would have to terminate all of Crestline's full-service hotel leases. Future minimum annual rental commitments for all non-cancelable leases as of December 31, 1999 are as follows (in thousands): 2000............................................................ $ 186,420 2001............................................................ 186,420 2002............................................................ 186,420 2003............................................................ 186,420 2004............................................................ 186,420 Thereafter...................................................... 745,679 ---------- Total minimum lease payments.................................. $1,677,779 ========== Lease expense for 1999 consisted of the following (in thousands): Base rent....................................................... $ 183,048 Percentage rent................................................. 133,606 ---------- $ 316,654 ==========
F-87 CCHP IV CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) Note 3. Working Capital Notes Upon the commencement of the hotel leases, the Company purchased the working capital of the leased hotels from Host Marriott for $16,522,000 with the purchase price evidenced by notes that bear interest at 5.12%. Interest on each note is due simultaneously with the rent payment of each hotel lease. The principal amount of each note is due upon the termination of each hotel lease. Upon termination of the hotel lease, the Company will sell Host Marriott the existing working capital at its current value. To the extent the working capital delivered to Host Marriott is less than the value of the note, the Company will pay Host Marriott the difference in cash. However, to the extent the working capital delivered to Host Marriott exceeds the value of the note, Host Marriott will pay the Company the difference in cash. As of December 31, 1999, the outstanding balance of the working capital notes was $16,522,000 Debt maturities at December 31, 1999 are as follows (in thousands): 2000................................................................. $ -- 2001................................................................. -- 2002................................................................. -- 2003................................................................. -- 2004................................................................. -- Thereafter........................................................... 16,522 ------- $16,522 =======
Cash paid for interest expense in 1999 totaled $781,000. Note 4. Management Agreements All of the Company's hotels are operated by hotel management companies under long-term hotel management agreements between Host Marriott and hotel management companies. Assignment of Management Agreements The existing management agreements were assigned to the Tenant Subsidiaries upon the execution of the hotel leases for the term of each corresponding hotel lease. The Tenant Subsidiaries are obligated to perform all of the obligations of Host Marriott under the hotel management agreements including payment of fees due under the management agreements other than certain obligations including payment of property taxes, property casualty insurance and ground rent, maintaining a reserve fund for FF&E replacements and capital expenditures for which Host Marriott retains responsibility. Marriott International Management Agreements Marriott International manages 20 of the 27 hotels under long-term management agreements assigned to the Tenant Subsidiaries, generally for an initial term of 15 to 20 years with renewal terms at the option of Marriott International of up to an additional 16 to 30 years. The management agreements generally provide for payment of base management fees equal to one to four percent of revenues and incentive management fees generally equal to 20% to 50% of Operating Profit (as defined in the management agreements) over a priority return (as defined) to the Tenant Subsidiaries, with total incentive management fees not to exceed 20% of cumulative Operating Profit, or 20% of current year Operating Profit. Pursuant to the terms of the management agreements, Marriott International is required to furnish the hotels with certain services ("Chain Services") which are generally provided on a central or regional basis to F-88 CCHP IV CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) all hotels in the Marriott International hotel system. Chain Services include central training, advertising and promotion, a national reservation system, computerized payroll and accounting services, and such additional services as needed which may be more efficiently performed on a centralized basis. Costs and expenses incurred in providing such services are allocated among all domestic hotels managed, owned or leased by Marriott International or its subsidiaries. In addition, the Company's hotels also participate in the Marriott Rewards program. The cost of this program is charged to all hotels in the Marriott hotel system. Ritz-Carlton Hotel Management Agreements The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, LLC ("Ritz-Carlton"), an affiliate of Marriott International, manages three of the leased hotels under long-term Hotel Management Agreements assigned to the Company. These agreements have an initial term of 15 to 25 years with renewal terms at the option of Ritz-Carlton of up to an additional 10 to 40 years. Base Management fees vary from two to four percent of revenues and incentive management fees are generally equal to 20% of available cash flow or operating profit, as defined in the agreements. Other Hotel Management Agreements The Company's remaining four hotels are managed by other hotel management companies. Two of the hotels are managed by the Hyatt Corporation, one of the hotels is managed by Swissotel Management (USA) LLC, and one is managed by Four Seasons Hotel Limited. The managers of the hotels provide similar services as Marriott International under its management agreements and receive base management fees, generally calculated as a percentage of revenues, and in most cases, incentive management fees, which are generally calculated as a percentage of operating profits. The Company has the option to terminate certain management agreements if specified performance thresholds are not satisfied, with the consent of Host Marriott under certain conditions. No agreement with respect to a single lodging facility is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted to any other agreement and a single agreement may be canceled under certain conditions, although such cancellation will not trigger the cancellation of any other agreement. Note 5. Income Taxes The Company is included in the consolidated Federal income tax return of Crestline and its affiliates (the "Group"). Tax expense is allocated to the Company as a member of the Group based upon the relative contribution to the Group's consolidated taxable income/loss and changes in temporary differences. This allocation method results in Federal and net state tax expense allocated for the period presented that is substantially equal to the expense that would have been recognized if the Company had filed separate tax returns. The provision for income taxes for 1999 consists of the following (in thousands): Current--Federal...................................................... $2,326 --State........................................................... 399 ------ 2,725 ------ Deferred--Federal..................................................... 633 --State........................................................... 108 ------ 741 ------ $3,466 ======
F-89 CCHP IV CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) A reconciliation of the statutory Federal tax rate to the Company's effective income tax rate for 1999 follows: Statutory federal tax rate............................................. 35.0% State income taxes, net of federal tax benefit......................... 6.0 ---- 41.0% ====
As of December 31, 1999, the Company had no deferred tax assets. The tax effect of the temporary differences that gives rise to the Company's deferred tax liability is attributable to the hotel working capital. Note 6. Sale of the Company's Lessee Entities (unaudited), Subsequent to Date of Auditor's Report On November 13, 2000, Crestline, the Company and other subsidiaries of Crestline entered into an acquisition and exchange agreement with a subsidiary of Host Marriott for the sale of Crestline's entities owning the lease rights to Host Marriott's portfolio of full-service hotels, including the lessee entities of the Company. The transaction will generally transfer ownership of those lessee entities currently owned by Crestline, including the Company, to a subsidiary of Host Marriott for a total consideration of $205 million, the proceeds of which will be paid entirely in cash. The transaction is expected to close at the beginning of 2001. In connection with the sale of its full-service hotel lessee entities, Crestline's full-service hotel working capital and full- service hotel working capital notes will be transferred to a subsidiary of Host Marriott.

Supplemental schedule of noncash investing and financing activities: Approximately 586,000 Class TS Preferred Units valued at $7.4 million were issued during the third quarter of 1999 in connection with the acquisition by merger of two partnerships that own limited partnership interests in the partnership that owns the New York Marriott Marquis. See Notes of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements F-94 HOST MARRIOTT, L.P. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1. Organization Host Marriott, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership" or "Host LP") is a Delaware limited partnership whose sole general partner is Host Marriott Corporation ("Host REIT"). Host REIT, a Maryland corporation operating through an umbrella partnership structure, is a self-managed and self-administered real estate investment trust ("REIT") with its operations conducted solely through the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries. As REITs are not currently permitted to derive revenues directly from the operation of hotels, Host REIT leases all of the hotels to subsidiaries of Crestline Capital Corporation ("Crestline") or other lessees (collectively the "Lessee"). In these condensed consolidated financial statements, the "Company" or "Host Marriott" refers to Host Marriott Corporation before, and Host LP, after Host Marriott Corporation's conversion to a REIT (the "REIT Conversion"). Host Marriott Corporation is presented as the predecessor to the Operating Partnership since the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries received substantially all of the continuing operations, assets and liabilities of Host Marriott Corporation and its subsidiaries. On December 15, 1998, shareholders of Host Marriott Corporation approved a plan to reorganize Host Marriott's business operations through the spin-off of Host Marriott's senior living business as part of Crestline and the contribution of Host Marriott's hotels and certain other assets and liabilities to a newly formed Delaware limited partnership, Host Marriott, L.P. Host REIT has elected, effective January 1, 1999, to be treated as a REIT for federal income tax purposes and is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. On December 29, 1998, Host Marriott completed the previously announced spin-off of Crestline through a taxable stock dividend to its shareholders. Each Host Marriott shareholder of record on December 28, 1998 received one share of Crestline for every ten shares of Host Marriott Corporation owned. In connection with the REIT Conversion, Host Marriott contributed its hotels and substantially all of its other assets and liabilities to the Operating Partnership and subsidiaries (the "Contribution") in exchange for units of partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The Contribution was accounted for at Host Marriott's historical basis. As of September 8, 2000, Host REIT owned approximately 78% of the Operating Partnership. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared without audit. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted. The Company believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. However, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 8, 2000, and the results of operations for the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 8, 2000 and September 10, 1999, and cash flows for the thirty-six weeks ended September 8, 2000 and September 10, 1999. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of fiscal year performance because of the impact of seasonal and short-term variations. Certain reclassifications were made to the prior year financial statements to conform to the current presentation. The Company's leases have initial terms ranging from 2 to 10 years, subject to earlier termination upon the occurrence of certain contingencies, as defined. Effective November 15, 1999, the leases with Crestline F-95 HOST MARRIOTT, L.P. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) (Unaudited) were amended to give Crestline the right to renew each of these leases for up to four additional terms of seven years each. The rent due under each lease is the greater of base rent or percentage rent, as defined. Percentage rent applicable to room, food and beverage and other types of hotel sales varies by lease and is calculated by multiplying fixed percentages by the total amounts of such revenues over specified threshold amounts. Both the minimum rent and the revenue thresholds used in computing percentage rents are subject to annual adjustments based on increases in the United States Consumer Price Index and the Labor Index, as defined. Under the REIT Modernization Act, which was passed in December 1999 and is effective beginning January 1, 2001, the Company will be able to lease its hotels to a wholly-owned subsidiary that is a taxable corporation and that elects to be treated as a "taxable REIT subsidiary," rather than to a third party. Under the terms of the leases with Crestline, the Company has the right to purchase the leases from Crestline on or after January 1, 2001, for a price equal to the fair rental value of such leases. The Company recognizes percentage rent when all contingencies have been met, that is, when annual thresholds for percentage rent have been met or exceeded. Percentage rent received pursuant to the leases but not recognized is included on the balance sheet as deferred rent. Contingent rental revenue of $75 million and $86 million, respectively, for the twelve weeks ended September 8, 2000 and September 10, 1999, and $366 million and $339 million, respectively, for the thirty-six weeks ended September 8, 2000 and September 10, 1999, have been deferred. 3. Earnings Per Unit Basic earnings per unit is computed by dividing net income available to common unitholders by the weighted average number of common units outstanding. Diluted earnings per unit is computed by dividing net income available to common unitholders as adjusted for potentially dilutive securities, by the weighted average number of common units outstanding plus other potentially dilutive securities. Dilutive securities may include units distributed to Host Marriott Corporation for Host Marriott Corporation common shares granted under comprehensive stock plans and the Convertible Preferred Securities. Dilutive securities may also include those common and preferred Operating Partnership Units ("OP Units") issuable or outstanding that are held by minority partners which are assumed to be converted. No effect is shown for securities if they are anti-dilutive.

4. Unit Repurchases In September 1999, the Board of Directors of Host Marriott Corporation approved the repurchase, from time to time on the open market and/or in privately negotiated transactions, of up to 22 million of the outstanding shares of Host REIT common stock, OP Units, or a corresponding amount (based on the appropriate conversion ratio) of Host REIT's Convertible Preferred Securities. Additionally, under the terms of the partnership agreement, an equivalent number of OP Units will also be repurchased on a one-to-one basis from Host Marriott Corporation. Such repurchases will be made at management's discretion, subject to market conditions, and may be suspended at any time at Host Marriott Corporation's discretion. During the twelve weeks ended March 24, 2000, Host Marriott repurchased approximately 4.9 million common shares, 325,000 OP Units, and 435,000 shares of the Convertible Preferred Securities for a total investment of $62 million. During the first quarter of 2000, we extinguished approximately $22 million of the convertible debt obligation to Host REIT through the purchase of 435,000 shares of Host REIT's Convertible Preferred Securities on the open market. We recorded an extraordinary gain of approximately $5 million on this transaction, based on the discount at which we purchased the Convertible Preferred Securities. No repurchases were made during the second and third quarters of 2000. Since the inception of the program in September 1999, Host Marriott has spent, in the aggregate, approximately $150 million to repurchase 16.2 million equivalent shares. 5. Dividends and Distributions Payable On September 19, 2000, the Board of Directors of Host Marriott declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.23 per share of Host REIT common stock and corresponding distributions of $0.23 per unit of limited partnership interest. The third quarter dividends and distributions were paid on October 16, 2000 to shareholders and unitholders of record on September 29, 2000. First and second quarter cash distributions of $0.21 per common OP Unit were paid on April 14 and July 14, 2000. F-97 HOST MARRIOTT, L.P. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) (Unaudited) On September 19, 2000, the Board of Directors declared quarterly distributions of $0.625 per cumulative redeemable preferred limited partner unit, which were paid on October 16, 2000, to unitholders of record on September 29, 2000. First and second quarter cash distributions of $0.625 per cumulative redeemable preferred limited partner unit were paid on April 14 and July 14, 2000. 6. Acquisitions and Developments In February 2000, construction of the 717-room Tampa Waterside Marriott adjacent to the convention center in downtown Tampa, Florida was completed at a total development cost of approximately $104 million, not including a $16 million tax subsidy provided by the City of Tampa. On May 16, 2000, the Company acquired a non-controlling partnership interest in the JWDC Limited Partnership, which owns the JW Marriott Hotel, a 772-room hotel located on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, DC. The Company, which previously held a small interest in the venture, invested approximately $40 million in the form of a preferred equity contribution. In late June 2000, an expansion that included the additions of a 500-room tower and 15,000 square feet of meeting space at the Orlando World Center Marriott was completed at an approximate development cost of $88 million. The convention/resort property now offers 2,000 guest rooms. 7. Debt Issuances and Refinancings In February 2000, the Company refinanced the $80 million mortgage on Marriott's Harbor Beach Resort property in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The new mortgage is for $84 million, at a rate of 8.58%, and matures in March 2007. During June 2000, the Company modified its bank credit facility. As modified, the total facility has been permanently reduced to $775 million, consisting of a $150 million term loan and a $625 million revolver. In addition, the original term was extended for two additional years, through August 2003. In connection with the renegotiation of the bank credit facility, the Company recognized an extraordinary loss of approximately $2 million during the second quarter of 2000, representing the write-off of deferred financing costs and certain fees paid to the lender. As of September 8, 2000, $176 million was outstanding under the bank credit facility, and the available capacity under the line of credit balance was $599 million. In October 2000, the Company issued $250 million of 9 1/4% Series F senior notes due in 2007, under the same indenture and with the same covenants as the Series A, Series B, Series C, and Series E senior notes. The net proceeds to the Company were approximately $245 million, after deduction of a discount at issuance of approximately $3 million and commissions and expenses of approximately $2 million. The proceeds have been used for the $26 million repayment of the outstanding balance of the revolver portion of the bank credit facility, and the remainder will be used for general working capital purposes, which may include the purchase of the leases from Crestline, and litigation settlements, as discussed in Note 12. As a result of the repayment, the available capacity under the revolver was increased to $625 million, and total borrowings under the bank credit facility were reduced to $150 million, representing the term loan.

Geographic Information As of September 8, 2000, the Company's foreign operations consisted of four hotel properties located in Canada. There were no intercompany sales between the properties and the Company. The following table presents revenues for each of the geographical areas in which the Company owns hotels (in millions):

9. Comprehensive Income The Company's other comprehensive income consists of unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation adjustments and the right to receive cash from Host Marriott Services Corporation subsequent to the exercise of the options held by certain former and current employees of Marriott International, pursuant to the distribution agreement between the Company and Host Marriott Services Corporation. For the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 8, 2000, the comprehensive loss totaled $22 million and $159 million, respectively. The comprehensive loss was $34 million and $131 million for the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 10, 1999, respectively. As of September 8, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the Company's accumulated other comprehensive income was $3 million and $4 million, respectively. 10. Summarized Lease Pool Financial Statements As discussed in Note 2, as of September 8, 2000, almost all the properties of the Company and its subsidiaries were leased to Crestline. In conjunction with these leases, Crestline and certain of its subsidiaries entered into limited guarantees of the lease obligations of each lessee. The full-service hotel leases are grouped into four lease pools, with Crestline's guarantee limited to the greater of 10% of the aggregate rent payable for the preceding year or 10% of the aggregate rent payable under all leases in the respective pool. Additionally, the lessee's obligation under each lease agreement is guaranteed by all other lessees in the respective lease pool. As a result, the Company believes that the operating results of each full-service lease pool may be material to the Company's financial statements. Financial information of certain pools related to the sublease agreements for limited service properties are not presented, as the Company believes they are not material to the Company's financial statements. Financial information of Crestline may be found in its quarterly and annual filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Further information regarding these leases and Crestline's limited guarantees may be found in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999. The results of operations for the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 8, 2000 and September 10, 1999 and summarized balance sheet data as of September 8, 2000 and December 31, 1999 of the lease pools in which the Company's hotels are organized are as follows (in millions): F-99 HOST MARRIOTT, L.P.

Supplemental Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Subsidiary Information All subsidiaries of the operating partnership guarantee the Company's senior notes except those among the twenty full service hotels listed below and HMH HPT Residence Inn, LLC and HMH HPT Courtyard, LLC, the lessees of the Residence Inn and Courtyard properties, respectively. The separate financial statements of each guaranteeing subsidiary (each, a "Guarantor Subsidiary") are not presented because management has concluded that such financial statements are not material to investors. The guarantee of each Guarantor Subsidiary is full and unconditional and joint and several. Certain of the Guarantor Subsidiaries are not wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. In these cases, however, the outside ownership percentage is less than 1%. Separate financial information of those non-wholly-owned Guarantor Subsidiaries are not presented, as the Company believes they are not material to investors.

12. Contingencies On March 16, 1998, limited partners in several limited partnerships filed a lawsuit, the Texas Multi-Partnership Lawsuit, naming the Company, Marriott International Inc. ("Marriott International"), and others as defendants and claiming that they conspired to sell hotels to the partnerships for inflated prices, that they charged the partnerships excessive management fees to operate the partnerships' hotels and otherwise breached their fiduciary duties. The lawsuit involved the following partnerships: Courtyard by Marriott Limited Partnership, Courtyard by Marriott II Limited Partnership, Marriott Residence Inn Limited Partnership, Marriott Residence Inn II Limited Partnership, Fairfield Inn by Marriott Limited Partnership, Desert Springs Marriott Limited Partnership and Atlanta Marriott Marquis Limited Partnership. Three other lawsuits, collectively, the Partnership Lawsuits, involving limited partners of some of the aforementioned partnerships had also been filed, at various dates beginning in June 1996, and include similar actions naming the Company, Marriott International and others as defendants. The Company and Marriott International have executed a definitive settlement agreement to resolve the Texas Multi-Partnership Lawsuit and the Partnership Lawsuits. The proposed settlement would involve a resolution of claims against all defendants in all seven partnerships, except with respect to those partners who have elected to opt out of the settlement. The holders of fewer than three units in a single partnership have F-107 HOST MARRIOTT, L.P. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) (Unaudited) made such an election, however. The proposed settlement would include an acquisition of the limited partner interests in two partnerships by an unconsolidated joint venture between a non-controlled subsidiary of the Company and a subsidiary of Marriott International for approximately $372 million plus interest and legal fees, of which the Company will pay approximately $91 million. The Company's share of funds required to resolve the litigation with all seven partnerships, including the acquisitions, is expected to be approximately $124 million. Of this amount, the Company funded the settlement escrow for $31 million in cash on September 28, 2000, in settlement of litigation with the plaintiffs in four of the partnerships. As part of the settlement, the Company also expects to contribute to the joint venture its existing interests in the partnerships. All conditions have been removed and judicial fairness determinations have been obtained with respect to five of the seven partnerships and they have been severed by court order from the remaining two settlements. Accordingly, the defendants have consummated the settlements with respect to those partnerships by funding the settlement escrows. Various consents remain conditions to consummation with respect to the other two partnerships, and there can be no assurance that these settlements will occur. In the event the Company does not successfully finalize these two settlements, the two cases could go to trial. As a result of the proposed settlement, the Company recorded a one-time, non-recurring, pre-tax charge of $40 million in 1999. The Company has also been named a defendant in other lawsuits involving various hotel partnerships. The lawsuits are ongoing, and although the ultimate resolution of lawsuits is not determinable, the Company does not believe the outcome will be material to the financial position, statement of operations or cash flows of the Company. See "Item 1--Legal Proceedings" for further detail regarding current litigation. 13. Subsequent Event On September 21, 2000, one of our non-controlled subsidiaries acquired for $4.5 million a 4% preferred equity interest in STSN, a privately held company that is a provider of in-room, high speed internet access to the lodging industry, from an affiliate of First Media Corporation. Richard E. Marriott, a director and officer of the Company, is also an officer, director and controlling shareholder of First Media Corporation. The purchase price was determined based on First Media's original investment in STSN in December 1999, plus investment costs and accrued interest through September 2000.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers Host Marriott Corporation's Articles of Amendment and Restatement of Articles of Incorporation (the "Articles of Incorporation") authorize 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: (i) any present of former director of officer or (ii) any individual who, while a director of Host Marriott and at the request of Host Marriott, serves or has served another corporation, real estate investment trust, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or any 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 or her status as a present or former director of Host Marriott Corporation. Host Marriott Corporation's Bylaws 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 director 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 director of Host Marriott Corporation and at the request of Host Marriott Corporation, serves or has served another corporation, real state investment trust, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or any other enterprise as a director, trustee, officer or partner of such corporation, real estate investment trust 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, against any claim or liability to which he may become subject by reason of such status. Host Marriott's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws also permit Host Marriott to indemnify and advance expenses to any person who served as a predecessor of Host Marriott in any of the capacities described above any to any employee or agent of Host Marriott or a predecessor of Host Marriott. Host Marriott's Bylaws require Host Marriott to indemnify a director 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 General Corporation Law, as amended (the "MGCL"), permits a Maryland corporation to indemnify and advance expenses to its directors, officers, employees and agents, and 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 of 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, under the MGCL, a Maryland corporation may not indemnify a director or officer in a suit by or in the right of the corporation if such director or officer has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation. In accordance with the MGCL, Host Marriott's Bylaws require it, as a condition to advancing expenses, to obtain (1) 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 Host Marriott as authorized by Host Marriott's Bylaws and (2) a written statement by or on his behalf to repay the amount paid of reimbursed by Host Marriott shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct was not met. Host Marriott intends to enter into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and officers. The indemnification agreements will require, among other things, that Host Marriott indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law and advance to its directors and officers all related expenses, subject to reimbursement if it is subsequently determined that indemnification is not permitted. The Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Host Marriott, L.P. (the "Partnership Agreement") also provides for indemnification of Host Marriott and its officers and directors to the same extent that indemnification is provided to officers and directors of Host Marriott in its Articles of Incorporation, II-1 and limit liability of Host Marriott and its officers and directors to the Operating Partnership and its respective partners to the same extent that the liability of the officers and directors of Host Marriott to Host Marriott and its stockholders is limited under Host Marriott's Articles of Incorporation. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Host Marriott has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

II-5 Item 22. Undertakings A. 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 described under Item 20 above, 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 expense 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 against the registrant 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 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. B. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's Annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's Annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. C. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Item 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request. D. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective. E. (1) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145, the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form. (2) The registrant undertakes that every prospectus: (i) that is filed pursuant to paragraph (1) immediately preceding or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post- effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. F.

The Company will pay interest semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year (each, an "Interest Payment Date"), commencing April 1, 2001.

Such wire instructions, upon receipt by the Trustee, shall remain in effect until revoked by such Holder. No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of 9 1/4% Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 3. Paying Agent and Registrar. -------------------------- Initially, HSBC Bank USA will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar without notice to the Holders. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may, subject to certain exceptions, act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar. 4. Indenture. --------- The Company issued the 9 1/4% Securities and the Subsidiary Guarantors issued their Guarantees under an Amended and Restated Indenture, dated as of August 5, 1998, as supplemented (the "Indenture"), between the Company, its Parents, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee. Capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture unless otherwise defined herein. The 9 1/4% Securities are limited in aggregate principal amount to $250,000,000. The terms of the 9 1/4% Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as in effect on the date of the Indenture. The 9 1/4% Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders of 9 1/4% Securities are referred to the Indenture and said Act for a statement of them. The 9 1/4% Securities are senior, general obligations of the Company, secured initially by a pledge of Capital Stock of certain Subsidiaries of the Company, which pledge is shared equally and ratably with the Credit Facility, the Existing Senior Notes, the Series A Notes, the Series B Notes, the Series C Notes, the Series E Notes and certain future Indebtedness of the Company ranking pari passu with the 9 1/4% Securities. Each Holder of this Security, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by the provisions of the Indenture, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be provided in the Indenture and (c) appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for such purpose. 5. Redemption. ---------- The Company may redeem the 9 1/4% Securities in whole but not in part at any time at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the Make-Whole Premium, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the applicable Redemption Date. Notice of a redemption of the 9 1/4% Securities A-6 made pursuant to this paragraph 5 shall be given in the manner set forth in Section 3.3 of the Indenture; provided, however, that any such notice need not -------- ------- set forth the Redemption Price but need only set forth the calculation thereof as described in the immediately preceding paragraph of this paragraph 5. The Redemption Price, calculated as aforesaid, shall be set forth in an Officer's Certificate delivered by the Company to the Trustee no later than one Business Day prior to the Redemption Date. The 9 1/4% Securities will not have the benefit of a sinking fund. 6. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. --------------------------------- The 9 1/4% Securities are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. A Holder may register the transfer of, or exchange 9 1/4% Securities in accordance with, the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any 9 1/4% Securities (a) selected for redemption except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part or (b) for a period beginning 15 Business Days before the mailing of a notice of an offer to repurchase or redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing. 7.

Unclaimed Money. --------------- If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee and the Paying Agent(s) will pay the money back to the Company at its written request. After that, all liability of the Trustee and such Paying Agent(s) with respect to such money shall cease. 9. Discharge Prior to Redemption or Maturity. ----------------------------------------- Except as set forth in the Indenture, if the Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, U.S. legal tender, U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such 9 1/4% Securities on the stated date for payment thereof or on the redemption date of such principal or installment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on such 9 1/4% Securities, the Company will be discharged from certain provisions of the Indenture and the 9 1/4% Securities (including the restrictive covenants described in paragraph 11 below, but excluding its obligation to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the 9 1/4% Securities). Upon satisfaction of certain additional conditions set forth in A-7 the Indenture, the Company may elect to have its obligations and the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors discharged with respect to outstanding 9 1/4% Securities. 10. Amendment; Supplement; Waiver. ----------------------------- The Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may enter into a supplemental indenture for certain limited purposes without the consent of the Holders. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the 9 1/4% Securities may be amended or supplemented with the written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 9 1/4% Securities then outstanding (except that any amendments or supplements to the provisions relating to security interests or with respect to the Guarantees of the Subsidiary Guarantors shall require the consent of the holders of not less than 66 2/3% of the aggregate principal amount of the 9 1/4% Securities then outstanding), and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 9 1/4% Securities then outstanding. Without notice to or consent of any Holder, the parties thereto may under certain circumstances amend or supplement the Indenture or the 9 1/4% Securities to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, or make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of a Security. 11. Restrictive Covenants. --------------------- The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional Indebtedness and issue Disqualified Stock, pay dividends or make certain other Restricted Payments, enter into certain transactions with Affiliates, incur Liens, sell assets and subsidiary stock, merge or consolidate with any other Person or transfer (by lease, assignment or otherwise) substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company. The limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions and certain restrictive covenants will cease to be applicable under certain circumstances. The Company must periodically report to the Trustee on compliance with such limitations. 12. Repurchase at Option of Holder. ------------------------------ (a) If there is a Change of Control Triggering Event, the Company shall be required to offer irrevocably to purchase on the Change of Control Purchase Date all outstanding 9 1/4% Securities at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus (subject to the right of Holders of record on a Record Date that is on or prior to such Change of Control Purchase Date to receive interest due on the Interest Payment Date to which such Record Date relates) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Change of Control Purchase Date. Holders of 9 1/4% Securities will receive a Change of Control Offer from the Company prior to any related Change of Control Purchase Date and may elect to have such 9 1/4% Securities purchased by completing the form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" appearing below. A-8 (b) The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors or any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries to sell assets and subsidiary stock. In the event the Net Cash Proceeds from a permitted Asset Sale exceed certain amounts, as specified in the Indenture, the Company will be required either to reinvest the proceeds of such Asset Sale in a Related Business or other permitted investments, repay certain Indebtedness or to make an offer to purchase each Holder's 9 1/4% Securities at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest, if any, to the purchase date. The limitations and the Company's obligations with respect to the use of proceeds from an Asset Sale are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions and will cease to be applicable under certain circumstances. 13.

Such Guarantees shall cease to apply, and shall be null and void, with respect to any such guarantor who, pursuant to Article 12 of the Indenture, is released from its Guarantees, or whose Guarantees otherwise cease to be applicable pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. 14. Successor --------- When a successor assumes all the obligations of its predecessor under the 9 1/4% Securities and the Indenture, the predecessor will be released from those obligations. 15. Defaults and Remedies. --------------------- If an Event of Default with respect to the 9 1/4% Securities occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company), then either the Trustee or the Holders of 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 9 1/4% Securities then outstanding may declare all 9 1/4% Securities to be due and payable immediately in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. Holders of 9 1/4% Securities may not enforce the Indenture A-9 or the 9 1/4% Securities, except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the 9 1/4% Securities. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding 9 1/4% Securities may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power with respect to such 9 1/4% Securities. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of 9 1/4% Securities notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default in payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. 16. Trustee and Agent Dealings with Company. --------------------------------------- The Trustee and each Agent under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor or any of their Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with such Persons as if it were not the Trustee or such agent. 17. No Recourse Against Others. -------------------------- No recourse for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the 9 1/4% Securities or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors in the Indenture, or in the 9 1/4% Securities or because of the creation of any Indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, partner, stockholder, officer, director, employee or controlling Person of the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors or of any successor Person thereof, except as an obligor or guarantor of the 9 1/4% Securities pursuant to the Indenture. Each Holder, by accepting the 9 1/4% Securities, waives and releases all such liability. 18. Authentication. -------------- This Security shall not be valid until the Trustee or authenticating agent signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Security. 19.

In my capacity as general counsel of Host Marriott Corporation, the general partner of the Company, I am familiar with the proceedings taken by the Company in connection with the authorization, issuance and sale of the Series G senior notes. In addition, I have made such legal and factual examinations and inquiries, including an examination of originals or copies certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction of such documents, corporate records and instruments, as I have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of this opinion. In my examination, I have assumed the genuiness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, and the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to me as copies. I am opining herein as to the effect on the subject transaction only of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, I express no opinion with respect to the applicability thereto, or the effect thereon, of the laws of any other jurisdiction or, in the case of Delaware, any other laws, or as to any matters of municipal law or the laws of any local agencies within any state. Subject to the foregoing and other matters set forth herein, it is my opinion that as of the date hereof, the Series G senior notes have been duly authorized by all necessary action of the Company, and when executed, authenticated and delivered by or on behalf of the Company against exchange therefor in accordance with the terms of the indenture, will constitute legally valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms. Subject to the foregoing and other matters set forth herein, it is my opinion that as of the date hereof, the Guarantees have been duly authorized by all necessary action of the applicable Subsidiary Guarantors, and when the Series G senior notes are executed, authenticated and delivered by or on behalf of the Company, will constitute legally valid and binding obligations of the applicable Subsidiary Guarantors, enforceable against the applicable Subsidiary Guarantors in accordance with their terms. The opinions rendered above relating to the enforceability of the Securities are subject to the following exceptions, limitations and qualifications: (i) the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors; (ii) the effect of general principles of equity, whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity of law, and the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought; (iii) I express no opinion concerning the enforceability of the waiver of rights or defenses contained in the indenture. To the extent that the obligations of the Company and/or the Subsidiary Guarantors under the Indenture may be dependent upon such matters, I assume for purposes of this opinion that the Trustee is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization; that the Trustee is duly qualified to engage in the activities contemplated by the Indenture; that the Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Trustee and constitutes the legally valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the Trustee enforceable against the Trustee in accordance with its terms; that the Trustee is in compliance, generally and with respect to acting as a trustee under the Indenture, with all applicable laws and regulations; and that the Trustee has the requisite organizational and legal power and authority to perform its obligations under the Indenture.

The Exchange Offer will be registered pursuant to the Securities Act on the appropriate form (the "Exchange Registration Statement") and will comply with all applicable tender offer rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to the Exchange Act and shall be duly registered or qualified pursuant to all applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws. The Exchange Offer shall not be subject to any condition, other than that the Exchange Offer does not violate any applicable law or interpretation of the Staff of the SEC. No securities shall be included in the Registration Statement covering the Exchange Offer other than the Transfer Restricted Securities and the Exchange Securities. The Issuer and the Guarantors agree to use their reasonable best efforts to (x) cause the Exchange Registration Statement to become effective pursuant to the Securities Act on or before the Effectiveness Target Date; (y) keep the Exchange Offer open for not less than 20 business days (or such longer period required by applicable law) after the date that the notice of the Exchange Offer referred to below is mailed to Holders; and (z) consummate the Exchange Offer within 210 days after the Closing Date. Each Holder who participates in the Exchange Offer will be required to represent that any Exchange Securities received by it will be acquired in the ordinary course of its business, that at the time of the consummation of the Exchange Offer such Holder will have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the Exchange Securities, and that such Holder is not an affiliate of the Issuer within the meaning of Rule 405 of the Securities Act (or that if it is such an affiliate, it will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable). Each Holder that is not a Participating Broker-Dealer will be required to represent that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, the distribution of the Exchange Securities. Each Holder that is a Participating Broker-Dealer will be required to acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus as required by law in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. Upon consummation of the Exchange Offer in accordance with this Agreement, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall have no further obligation to register Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement. (b) The Issuer and the Guarantors shall include within the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Registration Statement a section entitled "Plan 5 of Distribution," reasonably acceptable to the Purchasers, which shall contain a summary statement of the positions taken or policies made by the Staff of the SEC with respect to the potential "underwriter" status of any broker-dealer that is the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of Exchange Securities received by such broker-dealer in the Exchange Offer (a "Participating Broker-Dealer"). Such "Plan of Distribution" section shall also allow the use of the Prospectus by all persons subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, including all Participating Broker- Dealers, and include a statement describing the means by which Participating Broker-Dealers may resell the Exchange Securities. The Issuer and the Guarantors shall use their reasonable best efforts to keep the Exchange Registration Statement effective and to amend and supplement the Prospectus contained therein, in order to permit such Prospectus to be lawfully delivered by all persons subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act for such period of time as such persons must comply with such requirements in order to resell the Exchange Securities; provided that such period shall not exceed 180 days after consummation of the - -------- Exchange Offer (or such longer period if extended pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 5) (the "Applicable Period"). In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Issuer shall: (a) mail as promptly as practicable to each Holder a copy of the prospectus forming part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, together with an appropriate letter of transmittal and related documents; (b) utilize the services of a Depositary for the Exchange Offer with an address in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York; and (c) permit Holders to withdraw tendered Securities at any time prior to the close of business, New York time, on the last business day on which the Exchange Offer shall remain open. As soon as practicable after the close of the Exchange Offer, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall: (i) accept for exchange all Securities properly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Exchange Offer; 6 (ii) deliver to the Trustee for cancellation all Securities so accepted for exchange; and (iii) cause the Trustee to authenticate and deliver promptly to each Holder of Securities, Exchange Securities equal in principal amount to the Securities of such Holder so accepted for exchange. (c) If (1) prior to the consummation of the Exchange Offer, applicable interpretations of the Staff of the SEC do not permit the Issuer and the Guarantors to effect the Exchange Offer as contemplated herein, or (2) the Exchange Offer is commenced and not consummated within 210 days of the Closing Date for any reason, then the Issuer shall promptly deliver to the Holders and the Trustee written notice thereof (the "Shelf Notice") and the Issuer and the Guarantors shall file a Registration Statement pursuant to Section 3. Following the delivery of a Shelf Notice to the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall not have any further obligation to conduct the Exchange Offer pursuant to this Section 2, provided that the Issuers and the -------- Guarantors shall have the right, nonetheless, to proceed to consummate the Exchange Offer notwithstanding their obligations pursuant to this Section 2(c) (and, upon such consummation, their obligation to consummate a Shelf Registration shall terminate). 3. Shelf Registration ------------------ If a Shelf Notice is delivered as contemplated by Section 2(c), then: (a) Shelf Registration. The Issuer and the Guarantors shall use their ------------------ reasonable best efforts to prepare and file with the SEC, as promptly as practicable following the delivery of the Shelf Notice, a Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 covering all of the Transfer Restricted Securities (the "Shelf Registration"). The Shelf Registration shall be on Form S-1 or another appropriate form permitting registration of such Transfer Restricted Securities for resale by the Holders in the manner or manners reasonably designated by them (including, without limitation, one or more underwritten offerings). The Issuer and the Guarantors shall not permit any securities other than the Transfer Restricted Securities to be included in the Shelf Registration. The Issuer and the Guarantors shall use their reasonable best efforts, as described in Section 5(b), to cause the Shelf Registration to be declared effective pursuant to the Securities Act as promptly as practicable following the filing thereof and to keep the Shelf 7 Registration continuously effective under the Securities Act until the date which is 24 months from the Closing Date, or such shorter period ending when either (1) all Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Shelf Registration have been sold in the manner set forth and as contemplated in the Shelf Registration or (2) there ceases to be outstanding any Transfer Restricted Securities (the "Effectiveness Period"). (b) Supplements and Amendments. The Issuer and the Guarantors shall -------------------------- use their reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective by supplementing and amending the Shelf Registration if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used for such Shelf Registration, if required by the Securities Act, or if reasonably requested by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Registration Statement or by any underwriter of such Transfer Restricted Securities. 4. Liquidated Damages ------------------ (a) The Issuer, the Guarantors and the Purchasers agree that the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities will suffer damages if the Issuer or the Guarantors fail to fulfill their obligations pursuant to Section 2 or Section 3 hereof and that it would not be possible to ascertain the extent of such damages. Accordingly, in the event of such failure by Issuer or the Guarantors to fulfill such obligations, the Issuer and the Guarantors hereby agree to pay liquidated damages ("Liquidated Damages") to each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities under the circumstances and to the extent set forth below: (i) if neither the Exchange Registration Statement nor the Shelf Registration has been filed with the SEC on or prior to the Filing Date; or (ii) if neither the Exchange Registration Statement nor the Shelf Registration is declared effective by the SEC on or prior to the Effectiveness Target Date; or (iii) if an Exchange Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, on or prior to 210 days after the Closing Date, the Issuer and the Guarantors have not exchanged Exchange Securities for all Securities validly tendered in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer; or 8 (iv) the Shelf Registration has been declared effective by the SEC and such Shelf Registration ceases to be effective or usable at any time during the Effectiveness Period, without being succeeded on the same day immediately by a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement that cures such failure and that is itself immediately declared effective on the same day; (any of the foregoing, a "Registration Default") then, with respect to the first 90-day period following such Event Date (as defined below), the Issuer and the Guarantors shall pay to each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities Liquidated Damages in an amount equal to $.05 per week per $1,000 principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities held by such Holder for each week or portion thereof that the Registration Default continues. The amount of such Liquidated Damages will increase by an additional $.05 per week per $1,000 principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities with respect to each subsequent 90-day period until all Registration Defaults have been cured; provided, however, that -------- ------- Liquidated Damages shall not at any time exceed $.30 per week per $1,000 principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities. Following the cure of all Registration Defaults relating to any Transfer Restricted Securities, the accrual of Liquidated Damages with respect to such Transfer Restricted Securities will cease. A Registration Default under clause (i) above shall be cured on the date that either the Exchange Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration is filed with the SEC; a Registration Default under clause (ii) above shall be cured on the date that either the Exchange Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration is declared effective by the SEC; a Registration Default under clause (iii) above shall be cured on the earlier of the date (A) the Exchange Offer is consummated or (B) the Issuer delivers a Shelf Notice to the Holders of Restricted Securities; and a Registration Default under clause (iv) above shall be cured on the earlier of (A) the date the Shelf Registration is declared effective or (B) the Effectiveness Period expires. (b) The Issuer shall notify the Trustee within one business day after each and every date on which a Registration Default occurs (an "Event Date"). Liquidated Damages shall be paid by the Issuer and the Guarantors to the Holders by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by them or by mailing checks to their registered addresses if no such accounts have been specified on or before the semi-annual interest payment date provided in the Indenture (whether or not any interest is then payable on the Securities). Each obligation to pay Liquidated Damages shall be deemed to commence accruing on the applicable Event Date and to cease accruing when all Registration Defaults have been cured. In no event shall the Issuer pay Liquidated Damages in excess of the applicable maximum 9 weekly amount set forth above, regardless of whether one or multiple Registration Defaults exist. (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4, neither the issuance by the Issuer of a notice (i) of the type set forth in Section 5(c)(vii) declaring the Shelf Registration to be unusable during the pendency of the Material Activity (as defined in Section 5(c)(viii)) nor (ii) of the type set forth in Section 5(c)(ii), 5(c)(iii), 5(c)(iv), 5(c)(v) and 5(c)(vi), shall be deemed to be a Registration Default and no Liquidated Damages shall be payable or accrue with respect thereto; provided, that in the event the aggregate number of days in any consecutive twelve-month period for which all notices referenced above are issued and effective exceeds 30 days, then Liquidated Damages shall be payable in accordance with Sections 4(a) and 4(b) above for the number of such days in excess of 30 days in the aggregate. 5. Registration Procedures ----------------------- In connection with the registration of any Exchange Securities or Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to Sections 2 or 3 hereof, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall effect such registration to permit the sale of such Exchange Securities or Transfer Restricted Securities (as applicable) in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the Issuer and the Guarantors shall: (a) Prepare and file with the SEC, a Registration Statement or Registration Statements as prescribed by Section 2 or 3, and to use their reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective as provided herein; provided that, if (1) such filing is -------- pursuant to Section 3, or (2) a Prospectus contained in an Exchange Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Securities during the Applicable Period, before filing any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Issuer shall, if requested, furnish to and afford the Holders of the Transfer Restricted Securities and each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, covered by such Registration Statement, their counsel and the managing underwriters, if any, a reasonable opportunity to review copies of all such documents (including copies of any documents to be incorporated by reference therein and all exhibits thereto) proposed to be filed (at least 3 business days prior to such filing, or such later date as is reasonable under the circumstances). The Issuer and the Guarantors shall not file any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments 10 or supplements thereto in respect of which the Holders, pursuant to this Agreement, must be afforded an opportunity to review prior to the filing of such document, if the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Registration Statement, or such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, their counsel, or the managing underwriters, if any, shall reasonably object. (b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to each Shelf Registration or Exchange Registration Statement, as the case may be, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective for the Effectiveness Period or the Applicable Period, as the case may be, or such shorter period as will terminate when all Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold; cause the related Prospectus to be supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then in force) under the Securities Act; and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to it with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented and with respect to the subsequent resale of any securities being sold by a Participating Broker-Dealer covered by any such Prospectus; the Issuer and the Guarantors shall be deemed not to have used their reasonable best efforts to keep a Registration Statement effective during the Applicable Period if they voluntarily take any action that would result in selling Holders of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered thereby or Participating Broker-Dealers seeking to sell Exchange Securities not being able to sell such Transfer Restricted Securities or such Exchange Securities during that period, unless (i) such action is required by applicable law, or (ii) such action is taken by them in good faith and for valid business reasons (not including avoidance of their obligations hereunder), including the acquisition or divestiture of assets. (c) If (1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3, or (2) a Prospectus contained in an Exchange Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Securities during the Applicable Period, notify the selling Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities, or each known Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, their counsel and the managing underwriters, if any, promptly and confirm such notice in writing, (i) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to a Registration Statement or any post- effective amendment, when the same has become 11 effective (including in such notice a written statement that any Holder may, upon request, obtain, without charge, one conformed copy of such Registration Statement or post-effective amendment including financial statements and schedules, documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference and exhibits), (ii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary prospectus or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (iii) if at any time when a prospectus is required by the Securities Act to be delivered in connection with sales of the Transfer Restricted Securities the representations and warranties of the Issuer or any Guarantor contained in any agreement (including any underwriting agreement) contemplated by Section 5(l) below cease to be true and correct, (iv) of the receipt by the Issuer or any Guarantor of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of a Registration Statement or any of the Transfer Restricted Securities or the Exchange Securities to be sold by any Participating Broker-Dealer for offer or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose, (v) of the happening of any event or any information becoming known that makes any statement made in such Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in such Registration Statement, Prospectus or documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (vi) of the Issuer's and the Guarantors' reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate and (vii) if (A) the Issuer is engaged in or proposes to engage in discussions or negotiations with respect to, or has proposed or taken a substantial step to commence, or there is otherwise pending, any material merger, acquisition, tender offer, financing or other transaction (any such negotiation, step, event or state of facts being herein called a "Material Activity"), (B) such Material Activity would, in the reasonable opinion of counsel of the Issuer, require disclosure in a prospectus to be delivered in connection with the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities to be sold in compliance with law, and (C) such disclosure would, in the reasonable judgment of the Issuer, be adverse to its interests; provided, that the Issuer shall have no obligation to include in any notice contemplated in (vii) above any reference to or description of the facts upon which the Issuer is delivering such notice. 12 (d) If (1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3, or (2) a Prospectus contained in an Exchange Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Securities during the Applicable Period, use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of a Prospectus or suspending the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Transfer Restricted Securities or the Exchange Securities (as applicable) to be sold by any Participating Broker-Dealer, for sale in any jurisdiction, and, if any such order is issued, to use their reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any such order at the earliest possible moment.

(g) If (1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3, or (2) a Prospectus contained in an Exchange Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 13 2 is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Securities during the Applicable Period, deliver to each selling Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities, or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, their counsel, and the underwriters, if any, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of preliminary prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto and any documents incorporated by reference therein as such Persons may reasonably request; and, subject to the last paragraph of this Section 5, the Issuer and the Guarantors hereby consent to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities or each such Participating Broker- Dealer, as the case may be, and the underwriters or agents, if any, and dealers (if any), in connection with the offering and sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by or the sale by Participating Broker-Dealers of the Exchange Securities pursuant to such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto. (h) Prior to any public offering of Transfer Restricted Securities or any delivery of a Prospectus contained in the Exchange Registration Statement by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Securities during the Applicable Period, to use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify, and to cooperate with the selling Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, the underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Transfer Restricted Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as any selling Holder, Participating Broker- Dealer, or the managing underwriters reasonably request in writing, provided -------- that where Exchange Securities held by Participating Broker-Dealers or Transfer Restricted Securities are offered other than through an underwritten offering, the Issuer and the Guarantors agree to cause their counsel to perform Blue Sky investigations and file registrations and qualifications required to be filed pursuant to this Section 5(h); keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the period such Registration Statement is required to be kept effective and do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Exchange Securities held by Participating Broker-Dealers or the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement; provided -------- that the Issuer and the Guarantors shall not be required to (A) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where they are not then so qualified, (B) take any action that would subject them to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where they are not then so 14 subject or (C) subject themselves to taxation in excess of a nominal dollar amount in any such jurisdiction.

(p) If an Exchange Offer is to be consummated, upon delivery of the Transfer Restricted Securities by Holders to the Issuer (or to such other Person as directed by the Issuer) in exchange for the Exchange Securities, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall mark, or cause to be marked, on such Transfer Restricted Securities that such Transfer Restricted Securities are being cancelled in exchange for the 17 Exchange Securities; in no event shall such Transfer Restricted Securities be marked as paid or otherwise satisfied. (q) Cooperate with each seller of Transfer Restricted Securities covered by any Registration Statement and each underwriter, if any, participating in the disposition of such Transfer Restricted Securities and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD"). (r) Use their best efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by a Registration Statement contemplated hereby. (s) Use their best efforts to cause the Transfer Restricted Securities or the Exchange Securities, as applicable, covered by an effective registration statement required by Section 2 or Section 3 hereof to be rated with the appropriate rating agencies, if so requested by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities relating to such registration statement or the managing underwriters in connection therewith, if any. The Issuer may require each seller of Transfer Restricted Securities or Participating Broker-Dealer as to which any registration is being effected to furnish to the Issuer such information regarding such seller or Participating Broker-Dealer and the distribution of such Transfer Restricted Securities or Exchange Securities to be sold by such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, as the Issuer may, from time to time, reasonably request. The Issuer may exclude from such registration the Transfer Restricted Securities of any seller or Participating Broker-Dealer who fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request. Each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities and each Participating Broker-Dealer agrees by acquisition of such Transfer Restricted Securities or Exchange Securities to be sold by such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, that, upon receipt of any notice from the Issuer of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 5(c) (ii), 5(c) (iv), 5(c) (v), 5 (c) (vi) or 5(c)(vii), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Registration Statement or Prospectus or Exchange Securities to be sold by such Participating Broker- Dealer, as the case may be, until such holder's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 5(j), or until it is advised in writing (the "Advice") by the Issuer that the use 18 of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any amendments or supplements thereto; provided, that in the case of an event of the kind described in Section 5(c)(vii), the Issuer may only cause such discontinuing of dispositions for any number of periods not to exceed 30 days in the aggregate in any consecutive 12-month period. 6 Registration Expenses --------------------- (a) All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Issuer shall be borne by the Issuer and the Guarantors, whether or not the Exchange Offer or a Shelf Registration is filed or becomes effective, including, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, (A) fees with respect to filings required to be made with the NASD in connection with an underwritten offering and (B) fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or Blue Sky laws (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with Blue Sky qualifications of the Transfer Restricted Securities or Exchange Securities and determination of the eligibility of the Transfer Restricted Securities or Exchange Securities for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions (x) where the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities are located, in the case of the Exchange Securities, or (y) as provided in Section 5(h), in the case of Transfer Restricted Securities or Exchange Securities to be sold by a Participating Broker-Dealer during the Applicable Period)), (ii) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Transfer Restricted Securities or Exchange Securities in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company and of printing prospectuses if the printing of prospectuses is requested by the managing underwriters, if any, or, in respect of Transfer Restricted Securities or Exchange Securities to be sold by any Participating Broker-Dealer during the Applicable Period, by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities included in any Registration Statement or of such Exchange Securities, as the case may be), (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Issuer and the Guarantors, (v) fees and disbursements of all independent certified public accountants referred to in Section 5(1) (iii) (including, without limitation, the expenses of any special audit and "cold comfort" letters required by or incident to such performance), (vi) the fees and expenses of any "qualified independent underwriter" or other independent appraiser participating in an offering pursuant to Section 3 of Schedule E to the By-laws of the NASD, (vii) rating agency fees, (viii) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Issuer and the Guarantors desire such insurance, (ix) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Issuer and the Guarantors, (x) internal 19 expenses of the Issuer and the Guarantors (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of officers and employees of the Issuer and the Guarantors performing legal or accounting duties), (xi) the expense of any audit, (xii) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the securities to be registered on any securities exchange and (xiii) the expenses relating to printing, word processing and distributing all Registration Statements, underwriting agreements, securities sales agreements, and indentures. Nothing contained in this Section 6 shall create an obligation on the part of the Issuer or any Guarantor to pay or reimburse any Holder for any underwriting commission or discount attributable to any such Holder's Transfer Restricted Securities included in an underwritten offering pursuant to a Registration Statement filed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or to guarantee such Holder any profit or proceeds from the sale of such Securities. (b) In connection with any Shelf Registration hereunder, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall reimburse the Holders of the Transfer Restricted Securities being registered in such registration for the reasonable fees and disbursements of not more than one counsel (in addition to appropriate local counsel) chosen by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities to be included in such Registration Statement and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities reasonably incurred in connection with the registration of the Transfer Restricted Securities. 7 Indemnification --------------- The Issuer and the Guarantors agree to indemnify and hold harmless (i) each of the Purchasers, each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities, each Holder of Exchange Securities, each Participating Broker-Dealer, (ii) each person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act) any such Person (any of the persons referred to in this clause (ii) being hereinafter referred to as a "controlling person"), and (iii) the respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents of any of such Person or any controlling person (any person referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) may hereinafter be referred to as an "Indemnified Person") to the fullest extent lawful, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, actions and expenses (including without limitation, and as incurred, reimbursement of all reasonable costs of investigating, preparing, pursuing or defending any claim or action, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to any Indemnified Person) directly or indirectly caused by, related to, based upon, 20 arising out of or in connection with any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Issuer shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or any preliminary prospectus, or caused by, arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by (i) any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any Indemnified Person furnished to the Issuer or any underwriter in writing by such Indemnified Person expressly for use therein, or (ii) any untrue statement contained in or omission from a preliminary prospectus if a copy of the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented, if the Issuer shall have furnished to or on behalf of the Holder participating in the distribution relating to the relevant Registration Statement any amendments or supplements thereto) was not sent or given by or on behalf of such Holder to the person asserting any such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses who purchased Securities, if such is required by law at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Securities to such person and the untrue statement contained in or omission from such preliminary prospectus was corrected in the Prospectus (or the Prospectus as amended or supplemented). The Issuer and the Guarantors shall notify the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any claim, proceeding (including any governmental investigation) or litigation of which it or they shall have become aware in connection with the matters addressed by this Agreement which involves the Issuer, any Guarantor or an Indemnified Person. In connection with any Registration Statement in which an Indemnified Person is participating, such Indemnified Person agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer, each Guarantor and their directors and officers and each person who controls the Issuer and the Guarantors within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Issuer and the Guarantors to each Indemnified Person, but only with reference to information relating to such Indemnified Person furnished to the Issuer in writing by such Indemnified Person expressly for use in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, or any preliminary prospectus. The liability of any Indemnified Person pursuant to this paragraph shall in no event exceed the net proceeds received by such Indemnified Person from sales of Transfer Restricted Securities giving rise to such obligations. 21 If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either of the two preceding paragraphs, such person (the "indemnified party") shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the "indemnifying person") in writing, and the indemnifying person, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying person may reasonably designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses actually incurred by such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party, unless (i) the indemnifying person and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed in writing to the contrary, (ii) the indemnifying person failed promptly to assume the defense and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party or (iii) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both such indemnified party and the indemnifying person, or any affiliate of the indemnifying person and such indemnified party shall have been reasonably advised by counsel that either (x) there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying person or such affiliate of the indemnifying person or (y) a conflict may exist between such indemnified party and the indemnifying person or such affiliate of the indemnifying person (in which case the indemnifying person shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party), it being understood, however, that the indemnifying person shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties, which firm shall be designated in writing by indemnified parties who sold a majority in interest of Transfer Restricted Securities sold by all such indemnified parties and any such separate firm for the Issuer and the Guarantors, their directors, their officers and such control persons of the Issuer and the Guarantors shall be designated in writing by the Issuer. The indemnifying person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying person agrees to indemnify any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying person shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party 22 and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding. If the indemnification provided for in the first and second paragraphs of this Section 7 is unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses referred to therein (other than by reason of the exceptions provided therein), then each indemnifying person under such paragraphs, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnified party on the one hand and the indemnifying person(s) on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the indemnifying person(s) and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Issuer and the Guarantors on the one hand and any Indemnified Persons on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Issuer and the Guarantors or by such Indemnified Persons and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation --- ---- (even if such indemnified parties were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any reasonable legal or other expenses actually incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, in no event shall an Indemnified Person be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which proceeds received by such Indemnified Person from sales of Transfer Restricted Securities exceeds the amount of any damages that such Indemnified Person 23 has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 7 will be in addition to any liability which the indemnifying persons may otherwise have to the indemnified parties referred to above. The Indemnified Persons' obligations to contribute pursuant to Section 7 are several in proportion to the respective principal amount of Securities sold by each of the Indemnified Persons hereunder and not joint. 8 Rules 144 and 144A ------------------ The Issuer and the Guarantors covenant that they will file the reports required to be filed by them pursuant to the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder in a timely manner and, if at any time the Issuer and the Guarantors are not required to file such reports, they will, upon the request of any Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities, make available information required by Rules 144 and 144A under the Securities Act in order to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144 and Rule 144A. The Issuer and the Guarantors further covenant that they will take such further action as any Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Transfer Restricted Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (a) Rule 144 and Rule 144A under the Act, as such Rules may be amended from time to time, or (b) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. 9 Underwritten Registrations -------------------------- (a) If any of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by any Shelf Registration are to be sold in an underwritten offering, the investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers that will manage the offering will be selected by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of such Transfer Restricted Securities included in such offering and reasonably acceptable to the Issuer. No Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder, unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell such 24 Holder's Transfer Restricted Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. (b) Each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities agrees, if requested (pursuant to a timely written notice) by the managing underwriters in an underwritten offering or placement agent in a private offering of the Company's or the Guarantors' debt securities, not to effect any private sale or distribution (including a sale pursuant to Rule 144(k) and Rule 144A, but excluding nonpublic sales to any of its affiliates, officers, directors, employees and controlling persons) of any of the Securities except pursuant to an Exchange Offer, during the period beginning 10 days prior to, and ending 90 days after, the closing date of the underwritten offering. The foregoing provisions shall not apply to any holder of Transfer Restricted Securities if such holder is prevented by applicable statute or regulation from entering into any such agreement. The Issuer and the Guarantors agree without the written consent of the managing underwriters in an underwritten offering of Transfer Restricted Securities covered by a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof, not to effect any public or private sale or distribution of its respective debt securities, including a sale pursuant to Regulation D or Rule 144A under the Securities Act, during the period beginning 10 days prior to, and ending 90 days after, the closing date of each underwritten offering made pursuant to such Registration Statement (provided, however, that such period -------- ------- shall be extended by the number of days from and including the date of the giving of any notice pursuant to Section 5(c) (v) or (c) (vi) hereof to and including the date when each seller of Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Registration Statement shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 5(j) hereof). 10 Miscellaneous ------------- (a) Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Issuer of any of its -------- obligations under this Agreement, each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein, in the Indenture or, in the case of the Purchasers, in the Purchase Agreement, or granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this 25 Agreement. The Issuer and the Guarantors agree that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by them of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agree that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, they shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. (b) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Issuer and the Guarantors have -------------------------- not, as of the date hereof, and they shall not, after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to any of their respective securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. The Issuer and the Guarantors have not entered, and will not enter, into any agreement with respect to any of their respective securities which will grant to any Person piggy-back registration rights with respect to a Registration Statement. (c) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, ---------------------- including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the Issuer has obtained the written consent of Holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities whose securities are being sold pursuant to a Registration Statement and that does not directly or indirectly affect, impair, limit or compromise the rights of other Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities may be given by Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities being sold by such Holders pursuant to such Registration Statement; provided that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified or - -------- supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence. (d) Notices. All notices and other communications (including without ------- limitation any notices or other communications to the Trustee) provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, registered first- class mail, next-day air courier or telecopier: (i) if to a Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities, at the most current address given by the Trustee to the Issuer; and 26 (ii) if to the Issuer or the Guarantors, 10400 Fernwood Road, Bethesda, Maryland 20817, Attention: Christopher G. Townsend, Senior Vice President and General Counsel.

Copies of all such notices, demands or other communications shall be concurrently delivered by the Person giving the same to the Trustee under the Indenture at the address specified in such Indenture. (e) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the ---------------------- benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the parties, including without limitation and without the need for an express assignment, subsequent Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities. The Issuer and the Guarantors agree that the Holders of the Securities shall be third party creditor beneficiaries to the agreements made hereunder by the Purchasers and the Issuer, the Guarantors and each Holder shall have the right to enforce such agreements directly to the extent it deems such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect its rights hereunder. (f) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of ------------ counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. (g) Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of -------- reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. (h) Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED ------------- IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AS APPLIED TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED WITHIN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES TO SUBMIT TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. 27 (i) Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of ------------ this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their best efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable. (j) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Purchase ---------------- Agreement, is intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement, and is intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and therein. (k) Securities Held by the Issuer, the Guarantors, or Its Affiliates. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Whenever the consent or approval of Holders of a specified percentage of Transfer Restricted Securities is required hereunder, Transfer Restricted Securities held by the Issuer, the Guarantors, or their affiliates (as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) shall not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval was given by the Holders of such required percentage. (l) Guarantor Information. The Issuer and the Guarantors shall --------------------- prepare and furnish in any Exchange Registration Statement, Shelf Registration or other document such information, including historical and pro forma financial information, concerning each Guarantor as may be required by applicable securities laws, accounting guidelines, or rules and regulations of applicable securities regulatory authorities, including the SEC, in order to have any Registration Statement to be filed pursuant to this Agreement filed, declared and kept effective as contemplated by this Agreement. Each of the Issuer and each Guarantor agrees that the preparing and furnishing of such information within the time periods contemplated in this Agreement constitute "reasonable efforts" on such person's part for all purposes of this Agreement. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the date first written above. 28 ISSUER ------ HOST MARRIOTT, L.P. By:______________________________ Name: Christopher G.

WITNESSETH: ---------- WHEREAS, Holdings, the Borrower, the lenders party thereto on (and immediately before giving effect to) the Effective Date and the Administrative Agent are parties to a Credit Agreement, dated as of June 19, 1997 and amended and restated as August 5, 1998 (as the same has been further amended, modified or supplemented to, but not including, the Effective Date, the "Original Credit Agreement"); and WHEREAS, the parties hereto wish to amend and restate the Original Credit Agreement in its entirety in the form of this Agreement; NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree that, from and after the Effective Date, the Original Credit Agreement shall be and hereby is amended and restated in its entirety as follows: SECTION 1. Amount and Terms of Credit. -------------------------- 1.01 The Commitments. (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set --------------- forth herein, each Bank with a Term Loan Commitment severally agrees to make, on the Effective Date, a term loan or term loans (each, a "Term Loan" and, collectively, the "Term Loans") to the Borrower, which Term Loans (i) shall, at the option of the Borrower, be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, provided that, except as otherwise -------- specifically provided in Section 1.10(b), all Term Loans comprising the same Borrowing shall at all times be of the same Type, and (ii) shall not exceed for any such Bank, in aggregate principal amount, that amount which equals the Term Loan Commitment of such Bank on the Effective Date (before giving effect to the termination thereof on such date pursuant to Section 2.03(b)). Once repaid, Term Loans incurred hereunder may not be reborrowed. (b) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Bank with a Revolving Loan Commitment severally agrees to make, at any time and from time to time on and after the Effective Date and prior to the Maturity Date, a revolving loan or revolving loans (each, a "Revolving Loan" and, collectively, the "Revolving Loans") to the Borrower, which Revolving Loans (i) shall, at the option of the Borrower, be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, provided that, except as -------- otherwise specifically provided in Section 1.10(b), all Revolving Loans comprising the same Borrowing shall at all times be of the same Type, (ii) may be repaid and reborrowed at any time in accordance with the provisions hereof, and (iii) shall not exceed for any such Bank at any time outstanding that aggregate principal amount which equals the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Bank at such time. 1.02 Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing. The aggregate principal amount of -------------------------------- each Borrowing of Loans under a respective Tranche shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable to such Tranche. More than one Borrowing may occur on the same date, but at no time shall there be outstanding more than ten Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans. 1.03 Notice of Borrowing. (a) Whenever the Borrower desires to incur a ------------------- Borrowing of Loans hereunder, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office at least one Business Day's prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Base Rate Loan to be incurred hereunder and at least three Business Days' prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Eurodollar Loan to be incurred hereunder, provided that any such notice shall be deemed to have been -------- given on a certain day only if given before 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on such day. Each such written notice or written confirmation of telephonic notice (each, a "Notice of Borrowing"), except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 1.10, shall be irrevocable and shall be given by the Borrower in the form of Exhibit A, appropriately completed to specify (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be incurred pursuant to such Borrowing, (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the specific uses to be made of the proceeds of the Loans, (iv) whether the Loans being incurred pursuant to such Borrowing shall constitute Term Loans or Revolving Loans, and (v) whether the Loans being incurred pursuant to such Borrowing are to be initially maintained as Base Rate Loans or, to the extent permitted hereunder, Eurodollar Loans and, if Eurodollar Loans, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Bank which is required to make Loans specified in the respective Notice of Borrowing facsimile or other written notice (i) of such proposed Borrowing, (ii) of such Bank's proportionate share thereof and (iii) of the other matters required by the immediately preceding sentence to be specified in the Notice of Borrowing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees, no more than four Notices of Borrowing may be given in any 30 consecutive day period. (b) Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic notice of any Borrowing of Loans, the Administrative Agent may act without liability upon the basis of telephonic notice of such Borrowing believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of the Borrower prior to receipt of written confirmation. In each such case, the Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the Administrative Agent's record of the terms of such telephonic notice of such Borrowing. 1.04 Disbursement of Funds. No later than 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the --------------------- date specified in each Notice of Borrowing, each Bank with a Commitment for the respective Tranche of Loans and which has received the notice referred to in the next to last sentence of Section 1.03(a) will disburse its pro rata portion of --- ---- each Borrowing requested to be made on such date. All such amounts shall be disbursed in Dollars and in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, and the Administrative Agent will promptly disburse to the Borrower at the Payment Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds, the aggregate of the amounts so -2- made available by the Banks. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Bank prior to the time of Borrowing that such Bank does not intend to disburse to the Administrative Agent such Bank's portion of any Borrowing to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Bank has disbursed such amount to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, disburse to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact disbursed to the Administrative Agent by such Bank, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Bank. If such Bank does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent's demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and, to the extent such corresponding amount has previously been disbursed to the Borrower, the Borrower shall, within one Business Day after such notice, pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover on demand from such Bank or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower until the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if recovered from such Bank, the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and the interest rate applicable to Loans of the respective Tranche maintained as Base Rate Loans for each day thereafter, and (ii) if recovered from the Borrower, the rate of interest applicable to the respective Borrowing, as determined pursuant to Section 1.08. Nothing in this Section 1.04 shall be deemed to relieve any Bank from its obligation to make Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any Bank as a result of any failure by such Bank to make Loans hereunder. 1.05 Notes. (a) The Borrower's obligation to pay the principal of, and ----- interest on, the Loans made by each Bank to the Borrower shall be evidenced in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 12.16 and, subject to the provisions of clause (e) of this Section 1.05, also shall be evidenced (i) if Term Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a "Term Note" and, collectively, the "Term Notes"), and (ii) if Revolving Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a "Revolving Note" and, collectively, the "Revolving Notes"). (b) The Term Note issued to each Bank with a Term Loan Commitment or with outstanding Term Loans shall (i) be executed by the Borrower, (ii) be payable to the order of such Bank or its registered assigns and be dated the Effective Date (or, in the case of Term Notes issued to an Eligible Transferee pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement after the Effective Date, be dated the date of the issuance thereof), (iii) be in a stated principal amount equal to the Term Loans made by such Bank on the Effective Date (or, in the event such Bank has entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement after the Effective Date, the amount of the Term Loans set forth for such Bank therein) and be payable in the principal amount of the Term Loans evidenced thereby, (iv) mature on the Maturity Date, (v) bear interest as provided in the appropriate clause of Section 1.08 in respect of the Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Loans, as the case may be, evidenced thereby, (vi) be subject to voluntary prepayment as provided in Section 3.01, and mandatory repayment as provided in Section 3.02, and (vii) be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. -3- (c) The Revolving Note issued by the Borrower to each Bank with a Revolving Loan Commitment or outstanding Revolving Loans shall (i) be executed by the Borrower, (ii) be payable to the order of such Bank or its registered assigns and be dated the Effective Date (or, if issued to an Eligible Transferee pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement after the Effective Date, be dated the date of the issuance thereof), (iii) be in a stated principal amount equal to the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Bank (or, if issued after the termination of such Revolving Loan Commitment, be in a stated principal amount equal to the outstanding Revolving Loans, if any, of such Bank at such time) and be payable in the principal amount of the outstanding Revolving Loans evidenced thereby, (iv) mature on the Maturity Date, (v) bear interest as provided in the appropriate clause of Section 1.08 in respect of the Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Loans, as the case may be, evidenced thereby, (vi) be subject to voluntary prepayment as provided in Section 3.01, and mandatory repayment as provided in Section 3.02, and (vii) be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. (d) Each Bank will note on its internal records the amount of each Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof and will prior to any transfer of any of its Notes properly endorse on the reverse side thereof the outstanding principal amount of Loans evidenced thereby. Failure to make any such notation (or any error in such notation) shall not affect the Borrower's obligations to the holder from time to time of each Note in respect of such Loans. (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above or elsewhere in this Agreement, Term Notes and Revolving Notes shall only be delivered to Banks with Loans or Commitments of the respective Tranches which at any time specifically request the delivery of such Notes. No failure of any Bank to request or obtain a Note evidencing its Loans of any Tranche shall affect or in any manner impair the obligations of the Borrower to pay the Loans (and all related Obligations) which would otherwise be evidenced thereby in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, and shall not in any way affect the security or guaranties therefor provided pursuant to the various Credit Documents. Any Bank which does not have a Note evidencing its outstanding Loans shall in no event be required to make the notations otherwise described in preceding clause (d). At any time when any Bank requests the delivery of a Note to evidence its Loans of any Tranche, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to the respective Bank the requested Note or Notes in the appropriate amount or amounts to evidence such Loans. 1.06 Conversions. The Borrower shall have the option to convert, on any ----------- Business Day occurring after the Effective Date, all or a portion equal to at least the applicable Minimum Borrowing Amount of the outstanding principal amount of Loans made pursuant to one or more Borrowings of one or more Types of Loans under a single Tranche into a Borrowing or Borrowings of another Type of Loan under such Tranche, provided that, (i) except as otherwise provided in -------- Section 1.10(b), Eurodollar Loans may be converted into Base Rate Loans only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable to the Loans being converted and no partial conversion of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of such Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, (ii) unless the Required Banks otherwise agree, Base Rate Loans may only be converted into Eurodollar Loans if no Default or Event of Default is in existence on the date of the conversion, and (iii) no conversion pursuant to this Section 1.06 shall result in a greater number of Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans than is permitted under Section -4- 1.02. Each such conversion shall be effected by the Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York time) at least three Business Days' prior written notice (or one Business Day's prior written notice in the case of a conversion of Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans) (each a "Notice of Conversion") specifying the Loans to be so converted, the Borrowing(s) pursuant to which such Loans were made and, if to be converted into Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall give each Bank prompt notice of any such proposed conversion affecting any of its Loans. 1.07 Pro Rata Borrowings. All Borrowings of Term Loans shall be incurred ------------------- from the Banks pro rata on the basis of their Term Loan Commitments. All --- ---- Borrowings of Revolving Loans shall be incurred from the Banks pro rata on the --- ---- basis of their Revolving Loan Commitments. It is understood that no Bank shall be responsible for any default by any other Bank of its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Bank shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Bank to make its Loans hereunder. 1.08 Interest. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the -------- unpaid principal amount of each Base Rate Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Base Rate Loan and (ii) the conversion of such Base Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Loan pursuant to Section 1.06, at a rate per annum which shall be equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate each as in effect from time to time. (b) The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Eurodollar Loan and (ii) the conversion of such Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 1.06, 1.09 or 1.10, as applicable, at a rate per annum which shall, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time during such Interest Period plus the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period. (c) Overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of each Loan and any other overdue amount payable hereunder shall, in each case, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (x) 2% per annum in excess of the rate otherwise applicable to Base Rate Loans from time to time and (y) the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate then borne by such Loans (without giving effect to any increase in the rate borne by such Loans as a result of the operation of this clause (c)), in each case with such interest to be payable on demand. (d) Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest shall be payable in respect of each Loan, (i) monthly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar month and (ii) on the date of any repayment or prepayment thereof (on the amount repaid or prepaid), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand, provided, that in the case of Base Rate Loans, -------- interest shall not be payable pursuant to the preceding clause (ii) at the time of any repayment or prepayment thereof (but shall otherwise be payable as provided in the preceding clause (i)) unless the respective repayment or prepayment is made in conjunction with -5- the repayment or prepayment (or required repayment or prepayment) in full of all Loans of the respective Tranche. (e) Upon each Interest Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the respective Eurodollar Rate for the respective Interest Period or Interest Periods to be applicable to the respective Eurodollar Loans and shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Banks thereof. Each such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto. 1.09 Interest Periods. At the time the Borrower gives any Notice of ---------------- Borrowing or Notice of Conversion in respect of the making of, or conversion into, any Eurodollar Loan (in the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan (in the case of any subsequent Interest Period), the Borrower shall have the right to elect, by giving the Administrative Agent notice thereof, the interest period (each an "Interest Period") applicable to such Eurodollar Loan, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower, be a one, two, three or six-month period, provided that: -------- (i) all Eurodollar Loans comprising a Borrowing shall at all times have the same Interest Period; (ii) the initial Interest Period for any Eurodollar Loan shall commence on the date of Borrowing of such Eurodollar Loan (including the date of any conversion thereto from a Base Rate Loan) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Eurodollar Loan shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period applicable thereto expires; (iii) if any Interest Period relating to a Eurodollar Loan begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month; (iv) if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that if any Interest Period for -------- ------- a Eurodollar Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day; (v) unless the Required Banks otherwise agree, no Interest Period may be selected at any time when a Default or an Event of Default is then in existence; and (vi) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans shall be selected which extends beyond the Maturity Date. If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, the Borrower has failed to elect, or is not permitted to elect, a new Interest Period to be applicable to such Eurodollar Loans as provided above, the Borrower shall be -6- deemed to have elected to convert such Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period. 1.10 Increased Costs, Illegality, etc. (a) In the event that any Bank shall --------------------------------- have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but, with respect to clause (i) below, may be made only by the Administrative Agent): (i) on any Interest Determination Date that, by reason of any changes arising after the Effective Date affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of Eurodollar Rate; or (ii) at any time, that such Bank shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Eurodollar Loan because of (x) any change since the Effective Date in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request (whether or not having the force of law) or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request, such as, for example, but not limited to: (A) a change in the basis of taxation of payment to any Bank of the principal of or interest on such Eurodollar Loan or any other amounts payable hereunder (except for changes in the rate of tax on, or determined by reference to, the net income or net profits of such Bank, or any franchise tax based on the net income or net profits of a Bank, in either case pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Bank is organized or in which such Bank's principal office or applicable lending office is located or any subdivision thereof or therein), or (B) a change in official reserve requirements, but, in all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of the Eurodollar Rate and/or (y) other circumstances since the Effective Date affecting such Bank or the interbank Eurodollar market or the position of such Bank in such market; or (iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any Eurodollar Loan has been made (x) unlawful by any law or governmental rule, regulation or order, (y) impossible by compliance by any Bank in good faith with any governmental request (whether or not having force of law) or (z) impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Effective Date which materially and adversely affects the interbank Eurodollar market; then, and in any such event, such Bank (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall promptly give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and, except in the case of clause (i) above, to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Banks). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, Eurodollar Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Banks that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Conversion or notice given under Section 1.09 delivered by the Borrower with respect to Eurodollar Loans which have not yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall pay to -7- such Bank, upon written demand therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Bank in its sole discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Bank for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Bank, showing the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the Borrower by such Bank in good faith shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section 1.10(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Bank agrees that if it gives notice to the Borrower of any of the events described in clause (i) or (iii) above, it shall promptly notify the Borrower and, in the case of any such Bank, the Administrative Agent, if such event ceases to exist. If any such event described in clause (iii) above ceases to exist as to a Bank, the obligations of such Bank to make Eurodollar Loans and to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans on the terms and conditions contained herein shall be reinstated. In addition, if the Administrative Agent gives notice to the Borrower that the events described in clause (i) above cease to exist, then the obligations of the Banks to make Eurodollar Loans and to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans on the terms and conditions contained herein (but subject to clause (iii) above) also shall be reinstated. (b) At any time that any Eurodollar Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 1.10(a)(ii) or (iii), the Borrower may (and in the case of a Eurodollar Loan affected by the circumstances described in Section 1.10(a)(iii) the Borrower shall) either (x) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then being made initially or pursuant to a conversion, cancel the respective Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) on the same date that the Borrower was notified by the affected Bank or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 1.10(a)(ii) or (iii) or (y) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days' written notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Bank to convert such Eurodollar Loan into a Base Rate Loan, provided that, if more than one Bank is affected at any time, then all affected Banks must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 1.10(b). (c) If at any time any Bank determines that, after the Effective Date, the introduction of or any change in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law and including, without limitation, those announced or published prior to the Effective Date) concerning capital adequacy, or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency, will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Bank or any corporation controlling such Bank based on the existence of such Bank's Commitments hereunder or its obligations hereunder, then the Borrower shall pay to such Bank, upon its written demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Bank or such other corporation for the increased cost to such Bank or such other corporation or the reduction in the rate of return to such Bank or such other corporation as a result of such increase of capital. In determining such additional amounts, each Bank will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable, provided that such Bank's reasonable good faith determination of -------- compensation owing under this Section 1.10(c) shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto. Each Bank, upon determining that any -8- additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 1.10(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall show the basis for calculation of such additional amounts. In addition, each such Bank, upon determining that the circumstances giving rise to the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 1.10(c) cease to exist, will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower. 1.11 Compensation. The Borrower shall compensate each Bank, upon its ------------ written request (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such compensation), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Bank to fund its Eurodollar Loans but excluding any loss of anticipated profit) which such Bank may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Bank or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing or continuation of, or conversion from or into, Eurodollar Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing, in a Notice of Conversion or in a notice delivered under Section 1.09 (whether or not withdrawn by the Borrower or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 1.10(a)); (ii) if any repayment (including any repayment made pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.02 or as a result of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 9) or conversion of any Eurodollar Loans occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any Eurodollar Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower; or (iv) as a consequence of (x) any other default by the Borrower to repay the Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or any Note held by such Bank or (y) any election made pursuant to Section 1.10(b). 1.12 Change of Lending Office. Each Bank agrees that on the occurrence of ------------------------ any event giving rise to the operation of Section 1.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 1.10(c) or Section 3.04 with respect to such Bank, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Bank) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event, provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Bank and -------- its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in this Section 1.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Bank provided in Sections 1.10 and 3.04. 1.13 Replacement of Banks. (a) (x) If any Bank (i) becomes a Defaulting -------------------- Bank or (ii) refuses to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Banks as (and to the extent) provided in Section 12.12(b), or (y) upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 1.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 1.10(c) or Section 3.04 with respect to any Bank which results in such Bank charging to the Borrower increased costs in excess of those being generally charged by the other Banks, the Borrower shall have the right, in accordance with the requirements of Section 12.04(b), if no Default or Event of Default will exist immediately after giving effect to such replacement, to replace such Bank (the "Replaced Bank") with one or more other Eligible Transferees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Bank at the time of such replacement (collectively, the "Replacement Bank"), provided that (i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 1.13, the Replaced Bank and the Replacement Bank shall enter into one or more Assignment and Assumption Agreements pursuant to Section 12.04(b) (and with all fees payable pursuant to said -9- Section 12.04(b) to be paid by the Replacement Bank) pursuant to which the Replacement Bank shall acquire all of the Commitments and all of the outstanding Loans of the Replaced Bank and, in connection therewith, shall pay to the Replaced Bank in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of (1) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Replaced Bank at such time and (2) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, Fees owing to the Replaced Bank pursuant to Section 2.01 and (ii) all obligations of the Borrower owing to the Replaced Bank (other than those specifically described in clause (i) above of this proviso in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Bank concurrently with such replacement.

Upon the Replaced Bank ceasing to be a Bank hereunder, such Replaced Bank agrees to promptly return to the Borrower any Note or Notes theretofore delivered to such Replaced Bank pursuant to this Agreement marked "canceled", or if such Replaced Bank has lost or cannot find any such Note or Notes, such Replaced Bank will execute and deliver to the Borrower a customary lost note and indemnity agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower. 1.14 Additional Revolving Loan Commitments. (a) So long as no Default or ------------------------------------- Event of Default then exists or would result therefrom, the Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time on or prior to April 30, 2003 and upon at least 15 Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify each of the Banks), to request on up to five occasions that one or more Banks (and/or one or more other Persons which will become Banks as provided below) provide Additional Revolving Loan Commitments and, subject to the applicable terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, make Revolving Loans pursuant thereto, it being understood and agreed, however, that (i) no Bank shall be obligated to provide an Additional Revolving Loan Commitment as a result of any such request by the Borrower, (ii) until such time, if any, as such Bank has agreed in its sole discretion to provide an Additional Revolving Loan Commitment and executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent an Additional Revolving Loan Commitment Agreement in respect thereof as provided in Section 1.14(b) and such Additional Revolving Loan Commitment Agreement has become effective, such Bank shall not be obligated to fund any Revolving Loans in excess of its Revolving Loan Commitment as in effect prior to giving effect to such Additional Revolving Loan Commitments provided pursuant to this Section 1.14, (iii) any Bank (or, in the circumstances contemplated by clause (vii) below, any other Person which will qualify as an Eligible Transferee) may so provide an Additional Revolving Loan Commitment without the consent of any other Bank but with the prior consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), (iv) each provision of Additional Revolving Loan Commitments on a given date pursuant to this Section 1.14 shall be in a minimum aggregate amount (for all Banks (including, in the circumstances contemplated by clause (vii) below, -10- Eligible Transferees who will become Banks)) of at least $25,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (v) the aggregate amount of all Additional Revolving Loan Commitments permitted to be provided pursuant to this Section 1.14 shall not exceed $225,000,000, (vi) the fees payable to any Bank (including, in the circumstances contemplated by clause (vii) below, any Eligible Transferee who will become a Bank) providing an Additional Revolving Loan Commitment shall be as set forth in the relevant Additional Revolving Loan Commitment Agreement, (vii) if, after the Borrower has requested the then existing Banks (other than Defaulting Banks) to provide Additional Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section 1.14 on the terms to be applicable thereto, the Borrower has not received Additional Revolving Loan Commitments in an aggregate amount equal to that amount of the Additional Revolving Loan Commitments which the Borrower desires to obtain pursuant to such request (as set forth in the notice provided by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent as provided above), then the Borrower may request Additional Revolving Loan Commitments from Persons which would qualify as Eligible Transferees hereunder in an aggregate amount equal to such deficiency on terms which are no more favorable to such Eligible Transferee in any respect than the terms offered to the Banks, provided that any such Additional Revolving Loan Commitments provided -------- by any such Eligible Transferee which is not already a Bank shall be in a minimum amount (for such Eligible Transferee) of at least $10,000,000, and (viii) all actions taken by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 1.14(a) shall be done in coordination with the Administrative Agent.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the preceding sentence or elsewhere in this Section 3.04 and except as set forth in Section 12.04(b), the Borrower agrees to pay additional amounts and to indemnify each Bank in the manner set forth in Section 3.04(a) (without regard to the identity of the jurisdiction requiring the deduction or withholding) in respect of any Taxes deducted or withheld by it as described in the immediately preceding sentence as a result of any changes that are effective after the Effective Date in any applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, relating to the deducting or withholding of such Taxes.

Each Credit Party has duly executed and delivered each of the Credit Documents to which it is a party, and each of such Credit Documents constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Credit Party enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance (but only with respect to any guaranties or security interests given by a Subsidiary Guarantor), reorganization or other similar laws generally affecting creditors' rights and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law). 6.03 No Violation.

All of the foregoing financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied. Since December 31, 1999, nothing has occurred that has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Except as fully disclosed in the financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.05(a) or in the Schedules to this Agreement, there were as of the Effective Date no liabilities or obligations with respect to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether or not due) of a nature required to be set forth in a balance sheet or footnote thereto prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles which, either individually or in the aggregate, would be material to Holdings, Holdings and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, the Borrower or the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

Each of Holdings and each of its ------------------------ Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be timely filed, on the due dates thereof or within applicable grace periods, with the appropriate taxing authority, all Federal, state and other material returns, statements, forms and reports for taxes (the "Returns") required to be filed by or with respect to the income, properties or operations of Holdings and/or its Subsidiaries. The Returns accurately reflect in all material respects all material liability for taxes of Holdings and its Subsidiaries for the periods covered thereby except for amounts for which adequate reserves have been -25- established in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Each of Holdings and each of its Subsidiaries has paid all material taxes payable by them other than taxes which are not delinquent, and other than those contested in good faith and for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. There is no action, suit, proceeding, investigation, audit, or claim now pending or, to the best knowledge of each of Holdings and the Borrower, threatened by any authority regarding any taxes relating to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries which, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. As of the Effective Date, Holdings and each of its Subsidiaries have properly accrued adequate reserves in accordance with generally acceptable accounting principles for any amount of taxes in dispute for a Return which is the subject of any waiver extending the statute of limitations relating to the payment or collection of taxes of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries. 6.10 Compliance with ERISA. (i) Each Plan that is a single employer --------------------- plan as defined in Section 4001(a)(15) of ERISA (a "Single Employer Plan") is in substantial compliance with ERISA and the Code; no Reportable Event has occurred with respect to a Single Employer Plan; no Single Employer Plan is insolvent or in reorganization; to the best knowledge of each of Holdings and the Borrower, no Multiemployer Plan is insolvent or in reorganization; no Single Employer Plan has an Unfunded Current Liability; no Single Employer Plan which is subject to Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA has an accumulated funding deficiency, within the meaning of such Sections of the Code or ERISA, or has applied for or received an extension of any amortization period within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 303 or 304 of ERISA; all contributions required to be made by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate with respect to a Plan and a Foreign Pension Plan have been timely made; neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any material liability to or on account of a Plan pursuant to Section 409, 502(i), 502(l), 515, 4062, 4063, 4064, 4069, 4201, 4204 or 4212 of ERISA or Section 401(a)(29), 4971, 4975 or 4980 of the Code or reasonably expects to incur any material liability (including any indirect, contingent, or secondary liability) under any of the foregoing Sections with respect to any Plan; no proceedings have been instituted to terminate or appoint a trustee to administer any Single Employer Plan; to the best knowledge of each of Holdings and the Borrower, no proceedings have been instituted to terminate or appoint a trustee to administer any Multiemployer Plan; no condition exists which presents a substantial risk to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate of incurring a material liability to or on account of a Single Employer Plan pursuant to the foregoing provisions of ERISA and the Code; to the best knowledge of each of Holdings and the Borrower, no condition exists which presents a substantial risk to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate of incurring any material liability to or on account of a Multiemployer Plan pursuant to the foregoing provisions of ERISA and the Code; each of Holdings and the Borrower believes that the aggregate liabilities of Holdings and its Subsidiaries and its ERISA Affiliates to all Multiemployer Plans in the event of a withdrawal therefrom, as of the close of the most recent fiscal year of each such Plan ended prior to the date of the incurrence of any Loan, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; each group health plan (as defined in Section 607(1) of ERISA or Section 4980B(g)(2) of the Code) which covers or has covered employees or former employees of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate has at all times been operated in substantial compliance with the provisions of Part 6 of subtitle B of Title I of ERISA and Section 4980B of the Code; no lien imposed under the Code or ERISA on the assets of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate -26- exists or, to the best knowledge of each of Holdings and the Borrower, is likely to arise on account of any Plan; and Holdings and its Subsidiaries do not maintain or contribute to (A) any employee welfare benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) which provides benefits to retired employees or other former employees (other than as required by Section 601 of ERISA) or (B) any Plan, the obligations with respect to which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. (ii) Each Foreign Pension Plan has been maintained in substantial compliance with its terms and with the requirements of any and all applicable laws, statutes, rules, regulations and orders and has been maintained, where required, in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities. Neither Holdings nor or any of its Subsidiaries has incurred any obligation in connection with the termination of or withdrawal from any Foreign Pension Plan. The present value of the accrued benefit liabilities (whether or not vested) under each Foreign Pension Plan, determined as of the end of Holdings' most recently ended fiscal year on the basis of actuarial assumptions, each of which is reasonable, does not exceed the current value of the assets of each Foreign Pension Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities, in the aggregate, by a material amount. 6.11 The Pledge and Security Agreement; Equity Pledges. (a) The Pledge ------------------------------------------------- and Security Agreement creates (after all steps required under Articles 8 and 9 of the New York UCC have been taken) in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in all right, title and interest of each Credit Party in the Pledge and Security Agreement Collateral described therein and owned by such Credit Party on any date on which this representation and warranty is made or deemed made to the extent that a security interest therein can be created pursuant to the UCC, which security interest shall, (i) upon delivery to the Collateral Agent of any certificates evidencing any Pledged Securities, (ii) upon the filing of appropriate financing statements under the UCC in respect of any uncertificated Pledged Securities that constitute a "general intangible" under the New York UCC or (iii) upon the completion of such other actions as may be required under the applicable provisions of the UCC (which delivery, filings and/or other actions have been done and remain in full force and effect as to the Pledge and Security Agreement Collateral owned by any Credit Party on any date on which this representation and warranty is made or deemed made), constitute a fully perfected first lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of such Credit Party in all of the Pledge and Security Agreement Collateral described therein, subject to no security interests of any other Person. (b) Schedule III sets forth, as of the Effective Date, whether the capital stock or other equity interests in each Subsidiary listed on Schedule IV is pledged (as of the Effective Date) pursuant to the Pledge and Security Agreement, and to the extent any such interest is not so pledged, Schedule III indicates the reason therefor. 6.12 Properties. Each of Holdings and each of its Subsidiaries has ---------- good and marketable title to all material properties owned by them, including all material property reflected in the balance sheets referred to in Section 6.05(a) (except as sold or otherwise disposed of since the date of such balance sheets, free and clear of all Liens, other than Permitted Liens). -27- 6.13 Subsidiaries.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Bank (or any Bank together with one or more other Banks) may (x) assign all or a portion of its Revolving Loan Commitment (and related outstanding Obligations hereunder) and/or its outstanding Term Loans to (i) its parent company and/or any affiliate of such Bank which is at least 50% owned by such Bank or its parent company or to one or more Banks or (ii) in the case of any Bank that is a fund that invests -101- in loans, any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of such Bank or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor or (y) assign all or a portion of all of the assigning Bank's Revolving Loan Commitment (and related outstanding Obligations hereunder) and/or outstanding Term Loans to an Eligible Transferee, and, in the case of a partial assignment of such Revolving Loan Commitment and/or outstanding Term Loans, such assignment shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent (and the assignor shall maintain a minimum amount of $5,000,000 for its own account unless the assignor shall assign its entire interest), and all assignees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Bank by execution of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, provided that (i) at such time Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect - -------- the Revolving Loan Commitments and/or outstanding Term Loans, as the case may be, of such new Bank and of the existing Banks, (ii) upon surrender of the old Notes, if any, new Notes will be issued to such new Bank and to the assigning Bank (to the extent requested by such Banks), such new Notes to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 1.05 (with appropriate modifications) to the extent needed to reflect the revised Revolving Loan Commitments and/or outstanding Terms Loans, as the case may be, (iii) the consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required in connection with any such assignment pursuant to clause (y) above (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall receive at the time of each such assignment, from the assigning or assignee Bank, the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of $3,500 and, provided further, that such transfer or assignment -------- ------- will not be effective until recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register pursuant to Section 12.16. The Administrative Agent will promptly give the Borrower notice of any assignment to an Eligible Transferee pursuant to clause (y) of the first sentence of this Section 12.04(b), although the failure to give any such notice shall not affect such assignment or result in any liability by the Administrative Agent. To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 12.04(b), the assigning Bank shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Revolving Loan Commitments and/or its assigned outstanding Term Loans. At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 12.04(b) to a Person which is not already a Bank hereunder and which is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for Federal income tax purposes, the respective assignee Bank shall provide to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms (and, if applicable a Section 3.04(b)(ii) Certificate) described in Section 3.04(b). To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Bank's Revolving Loan Commitments and related outstanding Obligations and/or outstanding Term Loans pursuant to Section 1.13 or this Section 12.04(b) would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Section 1.10, 1.11 or 3.04 from those being charged by the respective assigning Bank prior to such assignment, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay or reimburse such increased costs (although the Borrower shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective assignment). (c) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Bank from pledging its Loans and Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Bank from such Federal Reserve Bank and, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, any Bank which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Loans and Notes to its trustee in support of its obligations to its trustee. No pledge pursuant to this clause (c) shall release the transferor Bank from any of its obligations hereunder. -102- 12.05 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part ------------------------------ of the Administrative Agent or any Bank or any holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between the Borrower or any other Credit Party and the Administrative Agent or any Bank or the holder of any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other Credit Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which the Administrative Agent or any Bank or the holder of any Note would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Bank or the holder of any Note to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. 12.06 Payments Pro Rata. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this ----------------- Agreement, the Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of any Obligations hereunder, it shall distribute such payment to the Banks (other than any Bank that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share of any such payment) --- ---- pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with - --- ---- respect to which such payment was received. (b) Each of the Banks agrees that, if it should receive any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker's lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents, or otherwise), which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans or Commitment Commission, of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Banks is in a greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such Bank bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due to all of the Banks immediately prior to such receipt, then such Bank receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Banks an interest in the Obligations of the respective Credit Party to such Banks in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all the Banks in such amount; provided that if all -------- or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Bank, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the preceding Sections 12.06(a) and (b) shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Banks as opposed to Defaulting Banks. 12.07 Calculations; Computations. (a) The financial statements to be -------------------------- furnished to the Banks pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the notes thereto or as otherwise disclosed in writing by the Borrower to the Banks); provided that, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all - -------- computations used in determining compliance with Sections 8.07 through 8.12, inclusive, shall utilize -103- accounting principles and policies in conformity with those used to prepare the historical financial statements referred to in Section 6.05(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, to the extent that Holdings has any Indebtedness, liabilities, operating expenses or taxes, such Indebtedness, liabilities, operating expenses or taxes, as applicable, shall be treated as obligations of the Borrower for the purposes of calculating compliance with the financial covenants contained in Sections 8.08 through 8.12, inclusive, as well as for purposes of determining the Applicable Margin. (b) All computations of interest, Commitment Commission and other Fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest, Commitment Commission or other Fees are payable. 12.08 GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY ---------------------------------------------------------------- TRIAL. (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND - ----- OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, IN EACH CASE WHICH ARE LOCATED IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK, AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH OF HOLDINGS AND THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS. EACH OF HOLDINGS AND THE BORROWER HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH COURTS LACK JURISDICTION OVER SUCH CREDIT PARTY, AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM, IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT BROUGHT IN ANY OF THE AFORESAID COURTS, THAT ANY SUCH COURT LACKS JURISDICTION OVER SUCH CREDIT PARTY. EACH OF HOLDINGS AND THE BORROWER FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OUT OF ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO SUCH CREDIT PARTY AT ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH OPPOSITE ITS SIGNATURE BELOW, SUCH SERVICE TO BECOME EFFECTIVE 30 DAYS AFTER SUCH MAILING. EACH OF HOLDINGS AND THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS AND FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS WAS IN ANY WAY INVALID OR INEFFECTIVE. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY BANK OR THE HOLDER OF ANY NOTE TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST HOLDINGS OR THE BORROWER IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. -104- (b) EACH OF HOLDINGS AND THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY OF THE AFORESAID ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT BROUGHT IN THE COURTS REFERRED TO IN CLAUSE (a) ABOVE AND HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. (c) EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. 12.09 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of ------------ counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. A set of counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 12.10 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective on the date ------------- (the "Effective Date") on which (i) Holdings, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each of the Banks set forth on Schedule I shall have signed a counterpart hereof (whether the same or different counterparts) and shall have delivered the same to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office or, in the case of the Banks, shall have given to the Administrative Agent telephonic (confirmed in writing) or written notice at such office that the same has been signed and mailed to it, and (ii) the conditions contained in Section 4 are met to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent and the Required Banks.

The Administrative Agent will give Holdings, the Borrower and each Bank prompt written notice of the occurrence of the Effective Date. 12.11 Headings Descriptive. The headings of the several sections and -------------------- subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement. 12.12 Amendment or Waiver; etc. (a) Neither this Agreement nor any ------------------------- other Credit Document nor any terms hereof or thereof may be changed, waived, discharged or -105- terminated unless such change, waiver, discharge or termination is in writing signed by the respective Credit Parties party thereto and the Required Banks, provided that no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall, without - -------- the consent of each Bank having Obligations being directly affected thereby (other than a Defaulting Bank), (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon, or reduce the principal amount thereof (except to the extent repaid in cash) (it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement or to Section 12.07(a) shall not constitute a reduction in any rate of interest or Fees for purposes of this clause (i), so long as the primary purpose of the respective amendments or modifications to the financial definitions or to Section 12.07(a) was not to reduce the interest or Fees payable hereunder), (ii) release all or substantially all of the Pledge and Security Agreement Collateral or Subsidiary Guarantors from the Subsidiaries Guaranty (except (in either case) as expressly provided in the Credit Documents), (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 12.12 (except for technical amendments with respect to additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement which afford the protections to such additional extensions of credit of the type provided to the Term Loans and the Revolving Loan Commitments on the Effective Date), (iv) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Banks or Supermajority Bank (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required Banks, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Banks and the Supermajority Banks on substantially the same basis as the extensions of Term Loans and Revolving Loan Commitments are included on the Effective Date) or (v) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided further, that no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall - ---------------- (w) increase the Commitments of any Bank over the amount thereof then in effect without the consent of such Bank (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Commitment shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of any Bank, and that an increase in the available portion of the Commitment of any Bank shall not constitute an increase in the Commitment of such Bank), (x) without the consent of the Administrative Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 11 as same applies to the Administrative Agent or any other provision as same relates to the rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent, (y) without the consent of the Collateral Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision relating to the rights or obligations of the Collateral Agent or (z) without the consent of the Supermajority Banks, (A) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 8.08, 8.09 or 8.11 or (B) amend or modify the definition of Change of Control or waive any Default or Event of Default under Section 9.12. (b) If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to any of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by clauses (i) through (v), inclusive, of the first proviso to Section 12.12(a), the consent of the Required Banks is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Banks whose consent is required is not obtained, then the Borrower shall have the right, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and all non-consenting Banks whose individual consent is required are treated as described in either clause (A) or (B) below, to either (A) replace each such non-consenting Bank or Banks with one or more Replacement Banks pursuant to Section 1.13 so long as at the time of such replacement, each such Replacement Bank consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination or (B) terminate such non-consenting Bank's Revolving Loan Commitment and repay such non-consenting Bank's outstanding Loans in accordance with -106- Sections 2.02(b) and/or 3.01(b), provided that, unless the Revolving Loan -------- Commitments are terminated, and Loans repaid, pursuant to the preceding clause (B) are immediately replaced in full at such time through the addition of new Banks or the increase of the Revolving Loan Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of existing Banks (who in each case must specifically consent thereto), then in the case of any action pursuant to the preceding clause (B) the Required Banks (determined before giving effect to the proposed action) shall specifically consent thereto, provided further, that in any event the Borrower shall not have ---------------- the right to replace a Bank, terminate its Revolving Loan Commitment or repay its Loans solely as a result of the exercise of such Bank's rights (and the withholding of any required consent by such Bank) pursuant to the second proviso to Section 12.12(a). 12.13 Survival. All indemnities set forth herein including, without -------- limitation, in Sections 1.10, 1.11, 3.04, 12.01 and 12.06 shall survive the execution, delivery and termination of this Agreement and the Notes and the making and repayment of the Loans. 12.14 Domicile of Loans. Each Bank may transfer and carry its Loans ----------------- at, to or for the account of any office, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Bank. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that a transfer of Loans pursuant to this Section 12.14 would, at the time of such transfer, result in increased costs under Section 1.10, 1.11 or 3.04 from those being charged by the respective Bank prior to such transfer, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrower shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective transfer). 12.15 Confidentiality. (a) Subject to the provisions of clause (b) of --------------- this Section 12.15, each Bank agrees that it will use its reasonable efforts not to disclose without the prior consent of the Borrower (other than to its employees, auditors, advisors or counsel or to another Bank if such Bank or such Bank's holding or parent company in its reasonable good faith discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information, provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 12.15 to the same extent as such Bank) any information with respect to any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries which has been, is now or in the future furnished pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document and which is designated by any Credit Party to the Banks in writing as confidential, provided that any -------- Bank may disclose any such information (a) as has become generally available to the public, (b) as may be required or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any municipal, state or Federal regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Bank or to the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors, (c) as may be required or appropriate in respect to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (d) in order to comply with any law, order, regulation or ruling applicable to such Bank, (e) to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, (f) any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty's professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 12.15(a)), or to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Bank and (g) to any prospective or actual transferee or participant in connection with any contemplated transfer or -107- participation of any of the Notes, Commitments or Loans or any interest therein by such Bank, provided, that such prospective transferee agrees to be subject to -------- the provisions of this Section 12.15(a). (b) Holdings and the Borrower hereby acknowledge and agree that each Bank may share with any of its affiliates any information related to Credit Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, any nonpublic customer information regarding the creditworthiness of the Credit Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 12.15 to the same extent as such Bank), it being understood that for purposes of this Section 12.15(b), the term "affiliate" shall mean any direct or indirect holding company of a Bank as well as any direct or indirect Subsidiary of such holding company. 12.16 Register. The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative -------- Agent to serve as the Borrower's agent, solely for purposes of this Section 12.16, to maintain a register (the "Register") on which it will record the Commitments from time to time of each of the Banks, the Loans made by each of the Banks and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Bank. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Borrower's obligations in respect of such Loans. With respect to any Bank, the transfer of the Commitments of such Bank and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such Commitments shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such Commitments and Loans and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitments and Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitments and Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section 12.04(b). Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the Administrative Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Bank shall surrender the Note evidencing such Loan, and thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the assigning or transferor Bank and/or the new Bank. The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its duties under this Section 12.16, provided that the Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify the Administrative Agent for any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense which resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent. 12.17 Commercial Loan Transactions. Each of the Banks acknowledges ---------------------------- that the making of its Loans and the issuance by the Borrower of a Note to such Bank are in the nature of a commercial loan transaction, and that no such Bank shall assert that such actions are a securities transaction regulated under the Exchange Act, the Securities Act or any other Federal or state securities laws, it being understood that nothing in this Section 12.17 shall limit the rights of the Banks pursuant to Section 12.01 or 12.04. -108- 12.18 Limitations on Recourse. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the ----------------------- contrary set forth in this Agreement or in any of the other Credit Documents, but subject to the last sentence of this Section 12.18(a) and clause (b) of this Section 12.18, the Borrower's Obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents shall be limited recourse obligations of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower (and its assets) only and not against any constituent partner in the Borrower. The foregoing provisions of this Section 12.18 shall not impair the liability of the Subsidiary Guarantors under the Subsidiaries Guaranty or the liens and security interests created by the Pledge and Security Agreement which were granted as security for the Obligations of the Borrower and the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined in the Subsidiaries Guaranty) of the Subsidiary Guarantors. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of clause (a) of this Section 12.18, (x) the Administrative Agent and the Banks shall have recourse to Holdings (in its capacity as the general partner in the Borrower) to the extent (but only to the extent) of any loss, cost, damage, expense or liability incurred by the Administrative Agent or any of the Banks by reason of (i) any fraudulent misrepresentation made by Holdings in or pursuant to the Credit Documents, (ii) any unlawful act on the part of Holdings, or (iii) any misappropriation of funds by Holdings in contravention of the provisions of the Credit Documents and (y) Holdings shall automatically be and become jointly and severally obligated with the Borrower in respect of all of the Obligations from and after any breach by Holdings of the covenant contained in Section 8.16(b). Additionally, upon the occurrence of the event specified in clause (y) of the preceding sentence, the Pledge and Security Agreement shall be reinstated as to Holdings for purposes of securing the joint and several liability of Holdings in respect of the Obligations. At the request of the Administrative Agent, Holdings shall (at its expense) take all actions deemed reasonably necessary by the Administrative Agent to confirm the provisions of this Section 12.18(b). * * * -109- IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused their duly authorized officers to execute and deliver this Agreement as of the date first above written.

The principal economic requirements of the Settlement Agreement as the same relate to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries consist of (i) the Borrower paying up to $125,000,000 in cash (plus associated transaction costs and imputed interest) and (ii) the Borrower contributing up to $65,000,000 in cash (plus associated transaction costs) to CBM JV to permit CBM2 to repurchase its senior notes as further described below.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the definition of "Subsidiary" contained in the Credit Agreement, following the consummation of the transactions described above, none of CBM JV or any Subsidiary of CBM JV shall be deemed to be a Subsidiary of the Borrower or Rockledge so long as (i) Rockledge and its Subsidiaries do not own more than a 50% equity interest in CBM JV and the Borrower does not hold any direct or indirect equity interest in CBM JV and its Subsidiaries other than a 50% or less equity interest in CBM JV and a 1% or less equity interest in CBM One LLC, CBM Two LLC, or their respective successors or assigns and (ii) there is no recourse, whether contractual, by operation of law or otherwise, against Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries in respect of the Indebtedness and other liabilities of CBM JV and its Subsidiaries (other than in respect of Customary Non-Recourse Exclusions).
EX-10.41 7 0007.txt EXHIBIT 10.41 Exhibit 10.41 FIRST AMENDMENT --------------- THIS FIRST AMENDMENT (this "Amendment") dated as of October 23, 2000, among HOST MARRIOTT CORPORATION, a Maryland corporation ("Holdings"), HOST MARRIOTT, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Borrower"), the lenders party to the Credit Agreement referred to below (the "Banks"), and BANKERS TRUST COMPANY, as Administrative Agent (the "Administrative Agent"). Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein and defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein as so defined. WITNESSETH: ---------- WHEREAS, Holdings, the Borrower, the Banks and the Administrative Agent are parties to an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of June 19, 1997, and amended and restated as of August 5, 1998, and further amended and restated as of May 31, 2000 (as amended, modified or supplemented through, but not including, the date hereof, the "Credit Agreement"); WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Banks amend and/or waive certain provisions of the Credit Agreement and the Banks have agreed to amend and/or waive such provisions on the terms and conditions herein provided; and WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, the parties hereto agree as follows: NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed: 1. Section 7.16 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to add a new clause (e) at the end of such Section, which clause (e) shall read in its entirety as follows: "(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 7.16 or anything else in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, no Subsidiary of Holdings or the Borrower shall be required to become a Subsidiary Guarantor (and thereby execute a counterpart of the Subsidiaries Guaranty and/or the Pledge and Security Agreement) pursuant to clause (x) of Section 7.16(a)(A) unless such Subsidiary is a Wholly Owned Subsidiary without reference to the parenthetical clause contained in clause (ii) of the definition of "Wholly-Owned Subsidiary" contained in Section 10.01. The provisions of this clause (e), however, shall only apply to the extent that such Subsidiary's becoming a Subsidiary Guarantor would require the Borrower to publicly report separate financial statements for such Subsidiary (either individually or together with other similar Subsidiaries) pursuant to the Exchange Act and/or the Securities Act." 2. Schedule IV to the Credit Agreement shall be replaced in its entirety by Schedule IV attached hereto, and all references in the Credit Agreement to Schedule IV (including, without limitation, in Section 4.06 thereof) shall be deemed to be references to Schedule IV attached hereto. 3. Section 6.13 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the references to "the Effective Date" appearing therein with references to "October 16, 2000." 4. Any Subsidiary of the Borrower that is listed in Annex A hereto, (each of which Subsidiaries would not have been a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower but for the final parenthetical in the definition of Wholly-Owned Subsidiary) that immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment was a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations under the Subsidiaries Guaranty and shall no longer constitute a Subsidiary Guarantor and any equity interests in such Subsidiary listed in Annex A hereto that are pledged pursuant to the Pledge and Security Agreement shall be automatically released from the liens and security interests created thereunder, in each case so long as such Subsidiary is simultaneously released from its guaranty of other Indebtedness of the Borrower (including the Senior Notes). 5. This Amendment shall become effective on the date (the "Amendment Effective Date") when Holdings, the Borrower and the Required Banks shall have signed a counterpart hereof (whether the same or different counterparts) and shall have delivered (including by way of facsimile transmission) the same to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office. 6. In order to induce the Banks to enter into this Amendment, each Credit Party hereto represents and warrants that (i) the representations, warranties and agreements contained in Section 6 of the Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Amendment Effective Date, both before and after giving effect to this Amendment, and (ii) there exists no Default or Event of Default on the Amendment Effective Date both before and after giving effect to this Amendment. 7. This Amendment is limited as specified and shall not constitute a modification, acceptance or waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document except as specified above. 2 8. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which counterparts when executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. A complete set of counterparts shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 9. THIS AMENDMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 10. From and after the Amendment Effective Date, all references in the Credit Agreement and in the other Credit Documents to the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be references to the Credit Agreement as modified hereby. 3 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused their duly authorized officers to execute and deliver this Amendment as of the date first above written.
