We are offering $150 million aggregate principal amount of 3¹⁄₂% Series I senior notes due 2030. The $150 million aggregate principal amount of additional 3¹⁄₂% Series I senior notes being offered hereby (the “additional Series I senior notes”) constitute a further issuance of the $600 million aggregate principal amount of 3¹⁄₂% Series I senior notes due 2030 that we issued on August 20, 2020 (the “existing Series I senior notes”) and form a single series of debt securities with the existing Series I senior notes. Unless the context requires otherwise, we refer to the additional Series I senior notes and the existing Series I senior notes together as the “Series I senior notes.” The additional Series I senior notes will have terms identical to the existing Series I senior notes, other than issue date and offering price, will have the same CUSIP number as the existing Series I senior notes and will vote together with the existing Series I senior notes as a single class immediately upon issuance. Upon completion of this offering, the aggregate principal amount of outstanding notes under this series will be $750 million.

The interest rate payable on the notes will be subject to adjustment based on certain rating events. See “Description of Series I Senior Notes—Interest Rate Adjustment of the Series I Senior Notes Based on Certain Rating Events.” We will pay interest on the Series I senior notes semi-annually in arrears on September 15 and March 15 of each year, commencing March 15, 2021. The Series I senior notes will mature on September 15, 2030. We have the option to redeem the Series I senior notes in whole or in part at the applicable redemption price described under the caption “Description of Series I Senior Notes—Optional Redemption” in this prospectus supplement.

The Series I senior notes will be our senior unsecured obligations, will rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. The Series I senior notes and the existing senior notes will be effectively subordinated to all of our existing and future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness, and to the indebtedness of our subsidiaries. See “Description of Series I Senior Notes—Ranking” in this prospectus supplement.

As described under “Use of Proceeds,” we intend to fully allocate an amount equal to the net proceeds from the sale of the additional Series I senior notes on the issue date to one or more Eligible Green Projects (as defined herein), including previously completed hotel developments and redevelopments, renovations in existing hotels that have received, or are expected to receive LEED certification, refurbishments and improvement projects including energy and water efficient technologies and renewable energy. We may also allocate or re-allocate net proceeds from this offering to other Eligible Green Projects.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Information included and incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus contains forward-looking statements that relate to our future performance and plans, results of operations, capital expenditures, acquisitions, dispositions and operating costs. These forward-looking statements are identified by their use of terms and phrases such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “expect,” “may,” “intend,” “predict,” “project,” “plan,” “will,” “estimate” and other similar terms and phrases, including references to assumptions and forecasts of future results. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions and are not guarantees of future performance. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated at the time the forward-looking statements are made.

The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements:

• the duration and scope of the COVID-19 pandemic and its short and longer-term impact on the demand for travel, transient and group business, and levels of consumer confidence; actions governments, businesses and individuals take in response to the pandemic, including limiting or banning travel; the ability of our hotel managers to operate hotels in a way that facilitate social distancing, implement enhanced cleaning protocols and other COVID-19 mitigation practices; the impact of the pandemic and actions taken in response to the pandemic on global and regional economies, travel, and economic activity, including the duration and magnitude of its impact on unemployment rates, business investment and consumer discretionary spending; the pace of recovery when the COVID-19 pandemic subsides; general economic uncertainty in U.S. markets where we own hotels and a worsening of economic conditions or low levels of economic growth in these markets; the effects on hotel operations of steps we and our hotel managers take to reduce operating costs in response to the COVID-19 pandemic (see also “Risk Factors—The current COVID-19 pandemic has materially and adversely impacted our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows” for additional information relating to this risk);

• the effect on lodging demand of (i) changes in national and local economic and business conditions, including concerns about the duration of the U.S. economic recession as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, global economic prospects, consumer confidence and the value of the U.S. dollar, and (ii) factors that may shape public perception of travel to a particular location such as natural disasters, weather, changes in the international political climate, and the occurrence or potential occurrence of terrorist attacks, all of which will affect occupancy rates at our hotels and the demand for hotel products and services;

• the impact of geopolitical developments outside the United States, such as the pace of economic growth in Europe, the effects of the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union, escalating trade tensions between the United States and its trading partners such as China, or conflicts in the Middle East, all of which could affect the relative volatility of global credit markets generally, global travel and lodging demand within the United States;

• risks that U.S. immigration policies, border closings related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and travel bans will suppress international travel to the United States generally;

• volatility in global financial and credit markets, in particular because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the impact of budget deficits and potential U.S. governmental action to address such deficits through reductions in spending and similar austerity measures, which could materially adversely affect U.S. and global economic conditions, business activity, credit availability, borrowing costs, and lodging demand;

• operating risks associated with the hotel business, including the effect of labor stoppages or strikes, increasing operating or labor costs or changes in workplace rules that affect labor costs and risks

S-iii

relating to the response to the COVID-19 pandemic such as increased costs relating to furloughed hotel employees as a result of measures taken by our hotel managers in response to the COVID-19 pandemic;

• the effect of rating agency downgrades of our debt securities on the cost and availability of new debt financings;

• the reduction in our operating flexibility and the limitation on our ability to incur debt, pay dividends and make distributions resulting from restrictive covenants in our debt agreements, which limit the amount of distributions from Host L.P. to Host Inc., and other risks associated with the amount of our indebtedness or related to restrictive covenants in our debt agreements, including the risk that a default could occur as a result of the decline in operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic;

• our ability to maintain our hotels in a first-class manner, including meeting capital expenditures requirements, and the effect of renovations, including temporary closures, on our hotel occupancy and financial results;

• the ability of our hotels to compete effectively against other lodging businesses in the highly competitive markets in which we operate in terms of access, location, quality of accommodations and room rate structures;

• our ability to acquire or develop additional hotels and the risk that potential acquisitions or developments may not perform in accordance with our expectations;

• the ability to complete hotel renovations on schedule and under budget and the potential for increased costs and construction delays due to government restrictions on non-essential activities and shortages of supplies as a result of supply chain disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic;

• relationships with property managers and joint venture partners and our ability to realize the expected benefits of our joint ventures and other strategic relationships;

• risks associated with a single manager, Marriott International, managing a significant portion of our hotels;

• changes in the desirability of the geographic regions of the hotels in our portfolio or in the travel patterns of hotel customers;

• the ability of third-party internet and other travel intermediaries to attract and retain customers;

• our ability to recover fully under our existing insurance policies for terrorist acts and our ability to maintain adequate or full replacement cost “all-risk” property insurance policies on our hotels on commercially reasonable terms;

• the effect of a data breach or significant disruption of hotel operator information technology networks as a result of cyber attacks;

• the effects of tax legislative action and other changes in laws and regulations, or the interpretation thereof, including the need for compliance with new environmental and safety requirements;

• the ability of Host Inc. and each of the real estate investment trusts (“REIT”) acquired, established or to be established by Host Inc. to continue to satisfy complex rules in order to qualify as REITs for federal income tax purposes, and Host Inc.’s and Host L.P.’s ability and the ability of our subsidiaries, and similar entities to be acquired or established by us, to operate effectively within the limitations imposed by these rules; and

• risks associated with our ability to execute our dividend policy, including factors such as the need to preserve cash and financial flexibility in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, investment activity, operating results and the economic outlook, any or all of which may influence the decision of Host Inc.’s board of directors as to whether to pay future dividends at levels previously disclosed or to use available cash to pay special dividends.

S-iv

Our success also depends upon economic trends generally, various market conditions and fluctuations and those other risk factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” herein and in the accompanying prospectus and under the heading “Risk Factors” in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and in our other filings with the SEC that are incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. We caution you not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect our analysis only and speak as of the date of this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus, as applicable, or as of the dates indicated in the statements. All of our forward-looking statements, including those included and incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, such as our outlook for 2020, are qualified in their entirety by this statement.

Recent Developments

July 31, 2020 Operational Update

The ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and future bookings have had and will continue to have a material negative impact on our financial results and cash flows, and such negative impact may continue well after restrictive measures imposed by federal, state, local and other government authorities to contain the outbreak have been lifted. During the first quarter, we suspended operations at 35 hotels and, as of August 30, 2020, operations remain suspended at 10 of these hotels. Luxury and upper upscale hotels in large urban markets, which are the markets where a majority of our hotels are located, have been, and we anticipate will continue to be, the most heavily affected through the current crisis, due in part to the sharp decline in air travel and international travel, business travel and group business. During the second quarter and continuing through July, demand at our hotels was primarily leisure demand at drive-to and resort destinations.

The following table sets forth preliminary performance information for all owned hotels in our portfolio for the month ended July 31, 2020:

	Estimated
	Month Ended July 31, 2020
Average occupancy		12.9	%
Average daily rate	$	177.76
RevPAR	$	22.94
Total revenues (in millions)	$	52

We are presenting preliminary estimates of certain financial information for the month ended July 31, 2020 that will form a part of our results for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. We have prepared these preliminary estimates disclosed in good faith based upon our internal estimates for the month ended July 31, 2020. These

S-1

estimates are preliminary and unaudited and are inherently uncertain and subject to change as we complete our financial statements for the quarter. Given the timing of these estimates, we have not completed our customary financial closing and review procedures, including the completion of final journal entries and management’s review of the results. We may identify other items that require material adjustments to our preliminary estimates as we close our books for the quarter. Final results for the month ended July 31, 2020 could differ materially from these estimates. Additionally, there can be no assurance that the results for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 will be consistent with our results for the month ended July 31, 2020, and any such differences could be material. You should exercise caution in relying on this information and should not place undue reliance on this information or draw any inferences from this information regarding financial or operating data not yet provided or available. These preliminary results are subject to review by our audit committee and our independent registered public accounting firm. Accordingly, our independent auditors do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto.

Important factors that could cause our actual results to differ from our preliminary estimates are set forth under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements.”

RISK FACTORS

Your investment in our additional Series I senior notes involves certain risks. In consultation with your own financial and legal advisers, you should carefully consider, among other matters, the factors set forth below as well as the risk factors discussed in the accompanying prospectus, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020 and any subsequently filed periodic reports which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, before deciding whether an investment in our additional Series I senior notes is suitable for you. The COVID-19 pandemic, and the disruption in global economic conditions stemming from the pandemic, could also precipitate or aggravate the other risk factors discussed in this prospectus supplement, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2020, and June 30, 2020, each of which are incorporated by reference herein, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, the COVID-19 pandemic may also affect our operating and financial results in a manner that is not presently known to us or that we currently do not consider to present significant risks.

Risks Related to Our Business

The current COVID-19 pandemic has materially and adversely impacted our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows.

Since first reported in December 2019, COVID-19 has spread globally, including to every state in the United States. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency with respect to COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly adversely impacted U.S. and global economic activity and has contributed to significant volatility and negative pressure in financial markets. The global impact of the outbreak has been rapidly evolving and, in the United States, certain states and cities, including most where we own properties, have reacted by instituting various restrictive measures such as quarantines, restrictions on travel, school closings, “stay at home” rules, limitations on the size of gatherings, restrictions on types of business that may continue to operate, and/or restrictions on the types of construction projects that may continue. As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic is negatively impacting almost every industry directly or indirectly and is having a severe impact on the U.S. lodging industry. Many of our hotels have suspended operations as required by governmental orders or are operating at minimal occupancy. Many experts believe that the pandemic has already triggered a period of global economic slowdown or a global recession.

For these reasons, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a sharp decline in revenues at our hotels and significantly adversely affected the ability of our hotel managers to successfully operate our hotels and has had a significant adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows due to, among other factors:

• a sharp decline in group, business and leisure travel resulting from (i) restrictions on travel imposed by governmental entities, public institutions and employers, (ii) the postponement or cancellation of conventions and conferences, music and arts festivals, sporting events and other large public gatherings, (iii) the closure of amusement parks, museums and other tourist attractions and (iv) the closure of colleges and universities;

• a complete or partial suspension of operations at many of our properties resulting from government action or from voluntary suspensions based on a lack of lodging demand;

• negative public perceptions of travel and public gatherings in light of the perceived risks associated with COVID-19; and

• quarantines, temporary closures of businesses, states of emergencies and other restrictive measures taken by governments and organizations may negatively impact the ability of our hotel managers to

continue to obtain goods and services necessary for the operation of our hotels, provide adequate hotel staffing or provide customary levels of hotel services, all of which may adversely affect the operation of our hotels.

The reduced economic activity has contributed to an economic recession, which may negatively impact future lodging demand even after the restrictive measures related to the COVID-19 pandemic are lifted as, historically, trends in economic indicators such as gross domestic product, business investment, corporate profits and employment growth (all of which have been negatively impacted) all have been key indicators of the relative strength of future lodging demand. The uncertainty around the COVID-19 pandemic also has caused severe disruption and instability in global financial markets. Reduced economic activity, reductions in lodging demand and financial market instability also may have the effect of heightening many of our previously disclosed risk factors such as:

• Risk Relating to Our Expenses: Many of the expenses associated with owning and operating hotels, such as debt-service payments, property taxes, insurance, utilities and employee wages and benefits are relatively inflexible and do not necessarily decrease directly with a reduction in revenues at the hotels. For this reason, we and our hotel managers will not be able to reduce operating costs at our hotels in proportion to the reduction in revenues we currently are experiencing, resulting in the need for us to fund working capital requirements at our hotels. The COVID-19 pandemic also may cause us to incur additional expenses. For example, we accrued approximately $32 million in the second quarter of 2020 for benefits that will be paid to hotel employees furloughed by the Company’s hotel managers. While governments have and may continue to implement various stimulus and relief programs, it is uncertain whether and to what extent we will be eligible to participate in such programs and whether conditions or restrictions imposed under such programs will be acceptable to us. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, we could experience a longer-term impact on our costs. For example, we may experience the need for our managers to maintain for an extended period of time enhanced health and hygiene requirements at our properties in attempts to counteract future outbreaks.

• Risks Relating to Our Level of Indebtedness: We have drawn $750 million under the revolver portion of our fifth amended and restated senior revolving credit and term loan facility with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as co-syndication agents, and certain other agents and lenders (the “Credit Facility”), to increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility in light of the impact resulting from COVID-19. Our indebtedness requires us to commit a significant portion of our annual cash flow from operations to debt service payment, which reduces the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, dividends and distributions and other general corporate needs. The increase in our level of debt increases our debt service payments and as a result may adversely affect our liquidity, financial condition or ability to incur additional debt. As of June 30 2020, we were in compliance with all of the financial ratios applicable to our Series C, Series D, Series E , Series F, Series G and Series H senior notes in order for us to be able to incur additional indebtedness.

• Risks Relating to Our Access to Capital: As a result of the risks described above, we may be required to raise additional capital, and our access to and cost of financing will depend on, among other things, global economic conditions, conditions in the global financing markets, the availability of sufficient amounts of financing, our prospects, our credit ratings, and the outlook for the lodging industry as a whole. Any disruption and instability of financial markets may result in difficulty in accessing debt and equity capital on attractive terms, or at all. In addition, as a result of COVID-19, some credit agencies have placed a “negative outlook” on our credit ratings. If our credit ratings were to be downgraded, our access to capital and the cost of debt financing could be further negatively impacted, particularly if we were downgraded to below an investment grade rating. The interest rate we pay on our credit facility is affected by our credit ratings. Accordingly, a downgrade may cause our cost of borrowing to increase. In addition, the terms of future debt agreements could include more restrictive covenants which may further restrict our business operations or cause future financing to be unavailable due to our covenant restrictions then in effect.

S-7

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the lodging industry are unprecedented and already have materially adversely affected our operations. The duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope and severity of the pandemic, governmental actions taken to contain the pandemic or to mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others. The rapid development and fluidity of the COVID-19 pandemic makes it extremely difficult to assess its full adverse economic impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows.

Risks Related to the Additional Series I Notes

The additional Series I senior notes are effectively subordinated to our secured debt and to the liabilities of our subsidiaries.

The additional Series I senior notes will be our senior unsecured obligations and will rank equally in right of payment with all of our other senior unsecured indebtedness, which currently includes our existing senior notes and indebtedness under our Credit Facility. However, the additional Series I senior notes will be effectively subordinated to all of our existing and future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness. The Indenture governing the Series I senior notes places limitations on our ability to incur secured indebtedness but does not prohibit us from incurring secured indebtedness in the future. Consequently, in the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or similar proceeding with respect to us, the holders of any secured indebtedness will be entitled to proceed directly against the collateral that secures such indebtedness. Therefore, such collateral will not be available for satisfaction of any amounts owed under our unsecured indebtedness, including the additional Series I senior notes, until such secured indebtedness is satisfied in full.

The additional Series I senior notes will also be effectively subordinated to all existing and future unsecured and secured liabilities of our subsidiaries. Therefore, holders of our debt, including the additional Series I senior notes, will be subject to the prior claims of each of such subsidiary’s creditors, including trade creditors. As of June 30, 2020, our subsidiaries had outstanding approximately $49 million of cash liabilities and future obligations under operating leases of approximately $607 million that are effectively senior to the additional Series I senior notes offered hereby.

The terms of our debt place restrictions on us and our subsidiaries, reducing operational flexibility and creating default risks.

The Indenture governing the Series I senior notes and the 1998 Indenture contain covenants that place restrictions on us and our subsidiaries, and will, among other things, restrict our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to:

• incur additional secured and unsecured indebtedness without satisfying certain financial metrics; and

• conduct acquisitions, mergers or consolidations unless the successor entity in such transaction assumes our indebtedness.

In addition to the above listed covenants, certain covenants in our Credit Facility place restrictions on our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to:

• make distributions without satisfying certain financial metrics;

• conduct transactions with affiliates other than on an arm’s-length basis; and

• during the Covenant Relief Period (see “Description of Other Indebtedness—Credit Facility”), restrictions on acquisitions, dispositions, capital expenditures, stock repurchases and incurrence of secured and unsecured debt.

S-8

Additionally, certain covenants in our Credit Facility require us and our subsidiaries to meet financial performance tests. During the Covenant Relief Period those financial performance tests are waived, but they will be reinstated starting for the quarter ending September 30, 2021. The restrictive covenants in our Indenture, the 1998 Indenture, our Credit Facility and the documents governing our other debt (including any future mortgage debt) will reduce our flexibility in conducting our operations and will limit our ability to engage in activities that may be in our long-term best interest. Failure to comply with these restrictive covenants could result in an event of default that, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of all or a substantial portion of our debt. For a detailed description of the covenants and restrictions imposed by the documents governing our indebtedness, see “Description of Other Indebtedness” and “Description of Series I Senior Notes.”

The terms of our Series I senior notes contain different, and in some cases less restrictive, covenants than our Series C senior notes which were issued before we attained an investment grade rating, including with respect to an offer to repurchase in the event of a change of control.

Our outstanding Series C senior notes require that upon the occurrence of certain change of control events, we will be required to offer to repurchase all of our Series C senior notes. However, the Series I senior notes (like our other investment grade notes (our Series D, Series E, Series F, Series G and Series H senior notes)) do not have this requirement. In addition, a change of control will be an event of default under our Credit Facility. We may not have sufficient funds to pay for such a required repurchase, and we may not be able to arrange for the financing necessary to make those payments on favorable terms or at all. Our failure to pay amounts due in respect of a change of control may constitute an event of default under the Series C senior notes and a cross-default under the Credit Facility, which could permit the holders of that indebtedness to require the immediate repayment of that indebtedness in full. Moreover, any acceleration of or default in respect of the Series C senior notes could, in turn, constitute an event of default under other debt instruments or agreements, including the Indenture governing the Series I senior notes, thereby resulting in the acceleration and required repayment of that other indebtedness. Any of these events could materially adversely affect our ability to make payments of principal and interest on the Series I senior notes when due and could prevent us from making those payments altogether.

Additionally, our existing senior notes currently have an investment grade rating from both Moody’s Investors Services, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC business (“Standard & Poor’s”). As a result, many of the restrictive covenants contained in the 1998 Indenture governing the Series C senior notes are not applicable, as they do not apply for so long as such series of notes maintain an investment grade rating from both Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s. However, in the event that our Series C senior notes are no longer rated investment grade by either or both of Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s, covenants applicable to our Series C senior notes will become more restrictive in certain cases than the covenants applicable to our investment grade notes, including the Series I senior notes. For example, we may be required to use proceeds from asset sales to pay down the Credit Facility or repurchase the Series C senior notes, but not our investment grade notes, including the Series I senior notes. For a more detailed description of the covenants that will be reinstated in the event that the Series C senior notes are no longer rated investment grade by either or both of Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s, see “Description of Other Indebtedness—Senior Notes—Restrictive Covenants for Senior Notes Issued Before We Attained an Investment Grade Rating.” The reinstatement of the covenants under the Series C senior notes may reduce our flexibility in conducting our operations and our ability to engage in activities will be more restricted. The failure to comply with these more restrictive covenants could result in the acceleration of a substantial portion of our debt.

Changes in the ratings of the Series I senior notes, our credit ratings or the debt markets could adversely affect the price of the Series I senior notes.

The price of the Series I senior notes depends on many factors, including:

• our credit ratings with major credit rating agencies;

S-9

• the prevailing interest rates being paid by, or the market price for notes issued by, other companies similar to us;

• our financial condition, financial performance and future prospects; and

• the overall condition of the financial markets.

The condition of the financial markets and prevailing interest rates have fluctuated in the past and are likely to fluctuate in the future. In general, as market interest rates rise, notes bearing interest at a fixed rate generally decline in value. Consequently, if you purchase the Series I senior notes and market interest rates increase, the market value of your Series I senior notes may decline.

In addition, credit rating agencies periodically review and update their ratings for the companies that they follow, including us, and we cannot assure you that any rating will not be changed or withdrawn by a rating agency in the future if, in its judgment, circumstances warrant. The credit rating agencies also evaluate our industry as a whole and may change their credit rating for us based on their overall view of our industry. Moreover, such credit ratings are not recommendations to buy, sell or hold the notes or any other securities. If any credit rating agencies downgrade our credit ratings or otherwise indicate that its outlook for that rating is negative, it could have a material adverse effect on the market price of the Series I senior notes and our costs and availability of capital, which could in turn have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations and our ability to satisfy our debt service obligations (including payments on the notes). In particular, the interest rate payable on the Series I senior notes offered hereby is subject to adjustment depending upon the ratings assigned to the Series I senior notes, as described in “Description of Series I Senior Notes—Interest Rate Adjustment of the Series I Senior Notes Based on Certain Rating Events.” We intend to take the position that any such potential adjustments do not cause the Series I senior notes to be treated as contingent payment debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes. See “United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Additional Payments.”

The Series I senior notes or a future guarantee thereof may be deemed a fraudulent transfer.

Our obligations under the Series I senior notes may be subject to review under federal bankruptcy laws and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws in the event of our bankruptcy or other financial difficulty. Our Series I senior notes could be voided or claims under the Series I senior notes could be subordinated to all our other debts if, among other things, we, at the time we incurred the indebtedness:

(1) received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for the incurrence of such indebtedness; and

(2) either:

(a) were insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of such incurrence;

(b) were engaged in a business or transaction for which our remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital; or

(c) intended to incur, or believed that we would incur, debts beyond our ability to pay such debts as they mature.

Although the Series I senior notes are not guaranteed by any of our direct or indirect subsidiaries, pursuant to the terms of the Indenture governing the Series I senior notes, a guarantee of our indebtedness by any of our subsidiaries in the future would trigger the requirement that the Series I senior notes be guaranteed on a pro rata basis. The guarantees under the Series I senior notes may be subject to review under the same laws as the Series I senior notes in the event of a guarantor’s bankruptcy or other financial difficulty. In that event, if a court were to find that when the guarantee was issued by such guarantor, the factors in clauses (1) and (2) above applied to

S-10

such guarantor, or that the guarantee was issued with actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud creditors, the court could cause any payment by that guarantor pursuant to its guarantee to be voided and returned to the guarantor, or to a fund for the benefit of the creditors of the guarantor. In such event, the Series I senior notes would be structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of such subsidiary.

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, Host L.P. 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

• the present fair 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.

We can offer no assurance as to what standard a court would apply in making such determinations or that a court would agree with our conclusions in this regard.

There may be limited trading of the additional Series I senior notes.

The existing Series I senior notes are not listed and we do not intend to have the additional Series I senior notes listed on any securities exchange or to arrange for quotation on any automated dealer quotation systems. We have been informed by the underwriters that they intend to continue to make a market in the Series I senior notes. However, the underwriters are not obligated to do so and may cease their market-making at any time without notice. The liquidity of the trading market in the Series I senior notes and the market price quoted for the Series I senior notes may be adversely affected by:

• changes in the overall market for investment grade securities;

• changes in our financial performance or prospects;

• prospects for companies in our industry generally;

• the number of holders of the Series I senior notes;

• the interest of securities dealers in making a market for the Series I senior notes;

• prevailing interest rates; and

• the credit rating of our indebtedness, including the Series I senior notes.

We cannot assure you that an active trading market will exist for the Series I senior notes. If there is limited trading of the Series I senior notes, this may adversely affect the price at which you can sell your Series I senior notes and your ability to sell at the time you want to sell.

We and our subsidiaries may incur substantially more debt. This could further exacerbate the risks to our financial condition described above.

We and our subsidiaries may incur significant additional indebtedness (which may be secured) in the future, and the Series I senior notes would be structurally subordinated to any indebtedness incurred by our subsidiaries and effectively subordinated to any such secured indebtedness. Although the Credit Facility imposes certain financial covenants and in certain circumstances the indentures governing our senior notes limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness, these restrictions are subject to a number of qualifications and exceptions, and the additional indebtedness incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. We continually evaluate market conditions and may take advantage of the opportunity to issue additional indebtedness, including

S-11

in the form of additional debt securities, in the near future or at later times, the proceeds of which may include repaying certain of our outstanding indebtedness. The holders of our debt that ranks equally with the Series I senior notes will be entitled to share ratably with you in any proceeds distributed in connection with any insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or other winding up of our company, and any holders of our secured debt, if any, will rank effectively senior in right of payment with the Series I senior notes to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness in connection with any insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or other winding up of our company. This may have the effect of reducing the amount of proceeds paid to you. These restrictions also will not prevent us from incurring obligations that do not constitute indebtedness. If new debt is added to our current debt levels, the related risks that we now face could intensify. See “Description of Other Indebtedness” and “Description of Series I Senior Notes.”

The Indenture does not require that we allocate the net proceeds from this offering to Eligible Green Projects or take the other actions as described under “Use of Proceeds,” and our failure to do so could adversely impact the value of the notes.

The market price of the additional Series I senior notes may be impacted by any failure by us to allocate the net proceeds from this offering to Eligible Green Projects, take the other actions as described under “Use of Proceeds” or to otherwise meet or continue to meet the investment requirements of certain environmentally focused investors with respect to the additional Series I senior notes. Although we intend to allocate all of the net proceeds from this offering to Eligible Green Projects and take the other actions as described under “Use of Proceeds,” it is not an event of default under the Indenture governing the Series I senior notes nor are we required to repurchase or redeem the Series I senior notes if we fail to do so.

We may use or allocate the net proceeds from this offering in ways with which you may not agree.

We intend to fully allocate an amount equal to the net proceeds from the sale of the additional Series I senior notes on the issue date to one or more Eligible Green Project, including previously completed hotel developments and redevelopments, renovations in existing hotels that have received, or are expected to receive LEED certification, refurbishments and improvement projects including energy and water efficient technologies and renewable energy. We may also allocate or re-allocate net proceeds from this offering for the development or redevelopment of other Eligible Green Projects. We have significant flexibility in allocating the net proceeds from the additional Series I senior notes. Following the allocation referenced above, we intend to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include repurchases of debt. See “Use of Proceeds—Management of Proceeds” in this prospectus supplement. However, we will retain broad discretion over the use or allocation of the net proceeds from this offering and you may not agree with the ultimate use or allocation of these net proceeds.

We cannot assure you that the Eligible Green Projects to which we allocate the net proceeds from this offering will satisfy, or continue to satisfy, investor criteria and expectations regarding environmental impact and sustainability performance, nor can we assure you that the Eligible Green Projects criteria and other aspects of the framework described under “Use of Proceeds” will satisfy, or continue to satisfy, investor criteria or expectations for sustainable finance products. In particular, no assurance is given that the use or allocation of such proceeds for any Eligible Green Projects will satisfy, whether in whole or in part, any present or future investor expectations or requirements, voluntary or mandatory taxonomies or standards regarding any investment criteria or guidelines with which such investor or its investments are required to comply, whether by any present or future applicable laws or regulations, by its own bylaws or other governing rules or investment portfolio mandates, ratings criteria, voluntary or management taxonomies or standards or other independent expectations (in particular with regard to any direct or indirect environmental, sustainability or social impact of any Eligible Green Projects or uses, the subject of or related to, the relevant Eligible Green Projects). The Eligible Green Projects to which we allocate the net proceeds from this offering have complex direct or indirect environmental, sustainability or social impacts and such Eligible Green Projects may become controversial or criticized by activist groups or other stakeholders. In addition, although we intend to limit the use or allocation of the net

S-12

proceeds from this offering to Eligible Green Projects, there can be no assurance that one or more development, redevelopment and/or improvement projects that has or that we expect will receive a LEED, BREEAM or Green Globes certification will retain or receive such certification. Additionally, we cannot assure you that we will be able to identify sufficient business activities qualifying as Eligible Green Projects to which we could re-allocate the net proceeds of this offering, if the initial Eligible Green Projects to which the net proceeds are allocated to no longer meet the criteria for an Eligible Green Project and our failure to do so will not be an event of default or require us to repurchase or redeem the additional Series I senior notes. We intend to report on our allocations of the net proceeds of this offering as described under “Use of Proceeds—Reporting” and may not report on any environmental, sustainability or social impact of such allocations.

S-13

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate the net proceeds from the sale of the additional Series I senior notes will be approximately $146 million, after deducting the underwriting discount, fees and expenses payable by us, and excluding accrued interest from, and including, August 20, 2020 through, and excluding, the settlement date in the amount of $189,583.33.

We intend to fully allocate an amount equal to the net proceeds from the sale of the additional Series I senior notes on the issue date to one or more Eligible Green Projects, including previously completed hotel developments and redevelopments, renovations in existing hotels that have received, or are expected to receive LEED certification, refurbishments and improvement projects including energy and water efficient technologies and renewable energy. We may also allocate or re-allocate net proceeds from this offering to other Eligible Green Projects. Following the allocation referenced above, we intend to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include repurchases of debt.

Definition of “Eligible Green Projects”

“Eligible Green Projects” means:

• (i) the acquisition of hotel properties; (ii) hotel developments or redevelopments; (iii) renovations in existing hotels; and (iv) improvement projects, in each case, that have received, or are expected to receive, in the three calendar years prior to the year of issuance of the notes or during the term of the notes, a LEED Silver, Gold or Platinum certification, BREEAM Very good, Excellent or Outstanding or Green Globes 3 or 4 Globes (or environmentally equivalent successor standards);

• refurbishments to properties in order to significantly improve energy efficiency and/or water efficiency of, or make other environmentally beneficial improvements to, a building, building subsystem or land, including but not limited to investments in LED and other energy efficient lighting, cool roof and other sustainability-oriented construction materials, smart meters, electric vehicle charging stations, energy storage, xeriscaping/drought-tolerant landscaping, waste diversion, water and energy-saving technologies and materials and improvements recognized by sustainability rating systems, in each case, made during the three calendar years prior to the year of the issuance of the notes or during the term of the notes; and

• investments in or expenditures on the acquisition, development, construction and/or installation of renewable energy production units and storage systems, including, but not limited to, solar panel installations, in each case, made during the three calendar-years prior to the year of the issuance of the notes or during the term of the notes.

The definition of Eligible Green Projects includes hotel developments and redevelopments, renovations in existing hotels that have received, or are expected to receive LEED certification, refurbishments and improvement projects including energy and water efficient technologies and renewable energy.

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (“LEED”) is a voluntary, third-party building certification process developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (“USGBC”), a non-profit organization. The USGBC developed the LEED certification process to (i) evaluate the environmental performance from a whole-building perspective over a building’s life cycle, (ii) provide a definitive standard for what constitutes a “green building,” (iii) enhance environmental awareness among architects and building contractors and (iv) encourage the design and construction of energy-efficient, water-conserving buildings that use sustainable or green resources and materials.

Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Methodology (“BREEAM”) is a voluntary, third-party building certification process developed by the U.K. Building Research Establishment. A BREEAM

S-14

assessment uses recognized measures of performance set against established benchmarks for (i) energy, (ii) water, (iii) the internal environment, (iv) pollution, (v) transport, (vi) materials, (vii) waste, (viii) ecology and (ix) management processes.

Green Globes is a voluntary, third-party building certification process administered by the U.S. Green Building Initiative. The Green Globe certification is a structured assessment of the sustainability performance of travel and tourism businesses and their supply chain partners.

Process for Project Evaluation and Selection

The net proceeds of this offering will be allocated to one or more Eligible Green Projects completed within the three calendar years prior to the year of issuance of the additional Series I senior notes. In the event we choose to re-allocate net proceeds from this offering to other Eligible Green Projects, our Corporate Responsibility Team will make recommendations to our senior management, and our senior management will make the final determination as to which Eligible Green Projects will receive re-allocations and the extent of such re-allocations.

Management of Proceeds

We intend to allocate an amount equal to the net proceeds from the sale of the additional Series I senior notes to one or more Eligible Green Projects, including previously completed hotel developments and redevelopments, renovations in existing hotels that have received, or are expected to receive LEED certification, refurbishments and improvement projects including energy and water efficient technologies and renewable energy. We may also allocate or re-allocate net proceeds from this offering to other Eligible Green Projects. As long as the notes are outstanding, our internal records will track the allocation of the net proceeds from this offering to Eligible Green Projects.

Payment of principal of and interest on the additional Series I senior notes will be made from our general funds and will not be directly linked to the performance of any Eligible Green Projects.

Reporting

During the term of the notes, until such time as the net proceeds from this offering have been fully allocated to Eligible Green Projects, we will publish annual updates in a publicly available report on our website detailing, at a minimum, the allocation of the net proceeds from the offering of the Series I senior notes to specific Eligible Green Projects, together with the achieved level of LEED, BREEAM or Green Globes certification, if applicable. As we anticipate allocating the entire net proceeds from this offering of additional Series I senior notes on or about the issue date as set forth above, we expect to publish only one report that details the allocation of proceeds from the offering of all of the Series I senior notes. Our updates will be accompanied by (i) an assertion by management that the net proceeds from this offering were allocated to qualifying Eligible Green Projects and (ii) a report from an independent accountant in respect of the independent accountant’s examination of management’s assertion conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Please note that the information and materials found on, or that can be accessed through, our website, except for our SEC filings expressly incorporated by reference as described under “Where You Can Find More Information; Incorporation by Reference” in the accompanying prospectus, are not part of this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus and are not incorporated by reference herein or therein.

DESCRIPTION OF OTHER INDEBTEDNESS

Credit Facility

On August 1, 2019, we entered the fifth amended and restated senior revolving credit and term loan facility with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and certain other agents and lenders (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility allows for revolving borrowings in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1.5 billion and a term loan facility of $1 billion (which is fully utilized). The Credit Facility also provides, among other things, for:

• an interest rate on all borrowings based on LIBOR or a base rate plus a margin that varies according to our unsecured long-term debt rating, with such rate being (1) in the case of revolver borrowings, either LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 77.5 to 145 basis points or a base rate plus a margin ranging from zero to 45 basis points and (2) in the case of the term loan borrowings, either LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 85 to 165 basis points or a base rate plus a margin ranging from zero to 65 basis points;

• in the case of the revolving credit facility, a facility fee payable on the total amount of the revolving credit facility commitment at a rate ranging from 12.5 to 30 basis points, with the actual rate determined according to our unsecured long-term debt rating;

• a maturity date of (1) in the case of the revolving credit facility, January 11, 2024, which date may be extended by up to a year by the exercise of up to two 6-month extension options, each of which is subject to certain conditions, including the payment of an extension fee; (2) in the case of one term loan tranche, January 11, 2024, which date may be extended up to a year by the exercise of one 1-year extension option, which is subject to certain conditions, including the payment of an extension fee; and (3) in the case of the second term loan tranche, January 9, 2025, which date may not be extended;

• a foreign currency subfacility for Canadian dollars, Australian dollars, Euros, British pounds sterling and, if available to the lenders, Mexican pesos of up to the foreign currency equivalent of $500 million, subject to a lower amount in the case of Mexican pesos borrowings;

• an option for Host L.P. to add in the future $500 million of commitments which may be used for additional revolving credit facility borrowings and/or term loans, subject to obtaining additional loan commitments (which we have not currently obtained) and the satisfaction of certain conditions specified in the Credit Facility;

• a subfacility of up to $100 million for swingline borrowings in currencies other than U.S. dollars and a subfacility of up to $100 million for issuances of letters of credit;

• no required scheduled amortization payments prior to the maturity date of the revolving credit facility or either term loan tranche; and

• financial covenants concerning allowable leverage (as defined below), fixed charge coverage and unsecured interest coverage that must be satisfied, as discussed in more detail below.

On June 26, 2020, we entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Facility. The Amendment suspends requirements to comply with all existing financial maintenance covenants under the Credit Facility for the period beginning July 1, 2020 until the required financial statement reporting date for the third quarter of 2021 (such period, the “Covenant Relief Period”). The existing financial maintenance covenants are reinstated for the quarter ending September 30, 2021, except that after the reinstatement instead of using the prior four calendar quarter’s results in the calculations, only results for the second quarter of 2021 and thereafter are used during a phase in period and the maximum permitted ratio of consolidated total debt to consolidated EBITDA (the “Leverage Ratio”) for the initial three quarters after reinstatement is increased from 7.25:1.00 to 8.25:1.00 for the first quarter, 8.00:1.00 for the second quarter and 7.75:1.00 for the third quarter. The Amendment permits us to terminate the Covenant Relief Period at any time, subject to demonstrating satisfaction

S-18

of the financial maintenance covenants that otherwise would apply for the quarter ending September 30, 2021. The Amendment also provides for, among other things:

• an increase in the interest rate applicable to outstanding borrowings during the Covenant Relief Period, with the rate being increased by 40 basis points to the applicable rate across the credit rating-based pricing grid determined according to our unsecured long-term debt rating; the interest rate based on the current unsecured long-term debt rating increases to LIBOR plus 130 basis points and LIBOR plus 140 basis points for the revolver and term facilities, respectively;

• the addition of a permanent LIBOR floor of 15 basis points applicable to borrowings under the revolver and the term facilities;

• the addition of a minimum liquidity covenant, which requires a minimum liquidity level of $300,000,000 at the end of each calendar month until the end of the Covenant Relief Period (subject to potential increase in the case of any future acquisitions of hotels with negative cash flow);

• during the Covenant Relief Period, additional limitations on acquisitions which provide that we may make acquisitions including (i) property exchange transactions governed by Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, (ii) acquisitions of up to $7,500,000,000 funded by issuances of equity and (iii) acquisitions of up to $1,500,000,000 funded by existing liquidity as long as we maintain minimum total liquidity of up to $500,000,000, depending on the amount of the acquisition; we also may assume debt in acquisitions provided that the debt to undepreciated real estate assets ratio shall not exceed 0.35:1.00 calculated on a pro forma basis;

• during the Covenant Relief Period, additional limitations on the ability to make distributions and repurchases or redemptions, with certain exceptions, including the ability to make distributions sufficient to allow for the payment of a quarterly cash dividend by Host Inc. of $0.01 per share or higher distribution amounts to the extent necessary to allow Host Inc. to maintain REIT status or avoid corporate income or excise taxes;

• during the Covenant Relief Period, additional limitations on debt incurrence such that we can incur indebtedness provided that the incurrence is permitted under our senior notes indenture;

• limitations on the ability to make stock repurchases or redemptions following the Covenant Relief Period if the Leverage Ratio exceeds 7.25:1.00, subject to certain exceptions;

• limitations on the ability to make capital expenditures from the period beginning on the effective date and ending on June 30, 2021 (or any earlier date on which the Covenant Relief Period is terminated); during this period we can fund all emergency, life safety and ordinary course maintenance capital expenditures plus $500,000,000 in other capital expenditures such as return on investment capital expenditures; and

• a requirement during the Covenant Relief Period to apply the net cash proceeds in excess of $350,000,000 in the aggregate from asset sales and debt issuances (but not equity issuances) as a mandatory prepayment of amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility; the mandatory prepayment requirements for asset sales and debt issuances are subject to various exceptions, including, among other things, (1) the net cash proceeds of asset sales in an amount of up to $750,000,000 that are used in a property exchange transaction governed by Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, (2) the net cash proceeds of (a) debt issuances constituting refinancing indebtedness, (b) certain indebtedness assumed in acquisitions and (c) other indebtedness up to $10,000,000.

In connection with the Amendment, we paid a consent fee of 7.5 basis points on the amount of each consenting lender’s commitments under the revolver and term facilities. Borrowings under the Credit Facility may be used for working capital, repayment of debt and other general corporate purposes, including for the consummation of acquisitions. As of June 30, 2020, we had approximately $750 million outstanding under the revolving portion of the Credit Facility, along with the $1 billion in term loans.

S-19

Prepayments. Voluntary prepayments of the loans under the Credit Facility are permitted in whole or in part without premium or penalty.

Financial Covenants. The Credit Facility contains covenants concerning allowable leverage, fixed charge coverage and unsecured interest coverage. We are permitted to make borrowings and maintain amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility so long as our leverage ratio is not in excess of 7.25x, our unsecured coverage ratio is not less than 1.75x and our fixed charge coverage ratio is not less than 1.25x. The calculations for these financial covenants are performed based on pro forma results for the prior four fiscal quarters, giving effect to transactions such as acquisitions, dispositions and financings as if they had occurred at the beginning of the period. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, interest expense excludes items such as the gains and losses on the extinguishment of debt, deferred financing charges related to the senior notes or the Credit Facility and amortization of debt premiums or discounts that were recorded at issuance of a loan to establish its fair value, all of which are included in interest expense on our consolidated statement of operations. Additionally, total debt used in the calculation of our leverage ratio is based on a “net debt” concept, under which cash and cash equivalents in excess of $100 million are deducted from our total debt balance. The First Amendment suspends requirements to comply with these financial maintenance covenants as discussed above and modifies the requirements and calculation methodology when the financial covenants are reinstated.

The following table summarizes our actual credit ratios calculated under our Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2020 and the financial tests contained in the Credit Facility:

	Actual Ratio		Covenant Requirement
Unsecured interest coverage ratio (a)		4.4x		Minimum ratio of 1.75x
Leverage ratio		4.6x		Maximum ratio of 7.25x
Fixed charge coverage ratio		2.7x		Minimum ratio of 1.25x

(a) If, at any time, our leverage ratio is above 7.0x, our minimum unsecured interest coverage ratio will decrease to 1.5x.

We were in compliance with all of our financial covenants under the Credit Facility as of June 30, 2020.

Other Covenants and Events of Default. The Credit Facility imposes restrictions on customary matters. Certain covenants are less restrictive at any time that our leverage ratio is below 6:1, as currently is the case. These covenants were substantially modified by the First Amendment to impose additional restrictions on our ability to complete acquisitions and dispositions and make capital expenditures and distributions as discussed above. The Credit Facility also includes financial covenant tests applicable to the incurrence of debt generally that are consistent with the limitations applicable under the indentures for our investment grade senior notes and which were unchanged by the First Amendment.

The Credit Facility also includes usual and customary events of default for facilities of this nature, and provides that, upon the occurrence and continuance of an event of default, payment of all amounts due under the Credit Facility may be accelerated and the lenders’ commitments may be terminated. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain insolvency or bankruptcy related events of default, all amounts due under the Credit Facility will automatically become due and payable and the lenders’ commitments will automatically terminate.

Senior Notes

As of June 30, 2020, we had the following series of existing senior notes outstanding:

	Principal Amount (in millions)
43⁄4% Series C senior notes due March 2023 (1)		448
33⁄4% Series D senior notes due October 2023		399
4% Series E senior notes due June 2025		497
41⁄2% Series F senior notes due February 2026		397
37⁄8% Series G senior notes due April 2024		397
33⁄8% Series H senior notes due December 2029		640
Total (2)(3)	$	2,778

(1) In connection with the Tender Offer launched on August 11, 2020, we accepted for tender $363.7 million in aggregate principal amount of Series C senior notes. The Tender Offer was settled on August 20, 2020.

(2) The face value of the total senior notes outstanding, plus the unamortized portion of de minimis original issue discounts and deferred financing costs of approximately $22 million, is $2.8 billion as of June 30, 2020.

(3) Does not include the issuance of $600 million of existing Series I senior notes issued on August 20, 2020.

General. The following summary is a description of the material provisions of the 1998 Indenture, the Indenture and the related supplemental indentures governing our existing senior notes, which we refer to collectively as the “senior notes indenture.” We pay interest on each series of our existing senior notes semi-annually in arrears at the respective annual rates indicated on the table above. Under the terms of our senior notes indenture, our existing senior notes are equal in right of payment with all of our senior unsecured indebtedness and senior to all of our subordinated obligations.

Pledges and Guarantees. Under the senior notes indenture, all Host L.P. subsidiaries which guarantee Host L.P. debt are required to similarly guarantee debt issuances under the senior notes indenture. Also, to the extent the equity of any subsidiaries of Host L.P. is pledged to secure borrowings under the Credit Facility, such collateral is likewise required to secure senior note issuances under the senior notes indenture. In the event that the guarantees of other indebtedness or the pledges securing the Credit Facility are released, under the terms of the senior notes indenture, such guarantees and pledges will also be released under the existing senior notes without the consent of the holders of senior notes.

Restrictive Covenants for Senior Notes Issued After We Attained an Investment Grade Rating

Our Series D, Series E , Series F, Series G, Series H and Series I senior notes have covenants customary for investment grade debt. Because the Series D, Series E , Series F, Series G, Series H and Series I senior notes were issued after we attained an investment grade rating while our Series C senior notes were issued before we had attained an investment grade rating, the covenants of the investment grade notes are different than the covenants applicable to our Series C senior notes. See “—Restrictive Covenants for Our Series C Senior Notes Issued Before We Attained an Investment Grade Rating.”

Under the terms of the investment grade notes, Host L.P.’s ability to incur indebtedness is subject to restrictions and the satisfaction of various conditions, including the achievement of an EBITDA-to-interest coverage ratio of at least 1.5x by Host L.P. As calculated, this ratio excludes from interest expense items such as call premiums and deferred financing charges that are included in interest expense on Host L.P.’s consolidated statement of operations. In addition, the calculation is based on Host L.P.’s pro forma results for the four prior fiscal quarters, giving effect to certain transactions, such as acquisitions, dispositions and financings, as if they

S-21

had occurred at the beginning of the period. Other covenants limiting Host L.P.’s ability to incur indebtedness include maintaining total indebtedness of less than 65% of adjusted total assets (using undepreciated real estate book values), maintaining secured indebtedness of less than 40% of adjusted total assets (using undepreciated real estate book values) and maintaining total unencumbered assets of at least 150% of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding unsecured indebtedness of Host L.P. and its subsidiaries. So long as Host L.P. maintains the required level of interest coverage and satisfies these and other conditions in the senior notes indenture, it may incur additional debt.

The following table summarizes our actual credit ratios calculated pursuant to the indenture financial tests for our Series D, Series E , Series F, Series G and Series H senior notes as of June 30, 2020:

	Actual Ratio			Covenant Requirement
Unencumbered assets to total unsecured indebtedness test		447	%		Minimum ratio of 150	%
Total indebtedness to adjusted total assets		22	%		Maximum ratio of 65	%
Secured indebtedness to adjusted total assets		0	%		Maximum ratio of 40	%
EBITDA-to-interest coverage ratio		4.1	x		Minimum ratio of 1.5	x

We were in compliance with all of the financial ratios applicable to our Series D, Series E , Series F, Series G and Series H senior notes as of June 30, 2020 in order for us to be able to incur additional indebtedness. The above EBITDA-to-interest coverage ratio as of June 30, 2020 is based on results for the third and fourth quarters of 2019 and first and second quarters of 2020. This ratio was 9.9x as of year-end 2019, 6.6x as of March 31, 2020, and, as noted above, was 4.1x as of June 30, 2020. We expect this ratio to continue to decline in 2020 as more quarters of historically poor operations caused by the COVID-19 pandemic are reflected in the calculation. We expect the ratio to fall below the 1.5x requirement as of the end of either the third or fourth quarter of 2020 and we will not be able to incur additional debt while the ratio is below this requirement.

There are no restrictions on our ability to pay dividends.

Restrictive Covenants for Our Series C Senior Notes Issued Before We Attained an Investment Grade Rating.

Currently, our senior notes have an investment grade rating from both Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s. As a result, many of the restrictive covenants contained in the senior notes indenture for our Series C senior notes are not applicable, as they do not apply for so long as such series of notes maintain an investment grade rating from both Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s. The following primary covenants that continue to apply to our Series C senior notes:

• restrict our ability to sell all or substantially all assets or merge with or into other companies; and

• require us to make an offer to repurchase the Series C senior notes then currently outstanding upon the occurrence of a change of control.

If the Series C senior notes are no longer rated investment grade by either or both of Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s, then the following covenants and other restrictions will be reinstated for the Series C senior notes, but will not apply to the Series D, Series E, Series F, Series G or Series H senior notes or the Series I senior notes, which have different covenants:

• our ability to incur indebtedness and make distributions will be subject to restrictions and the satisfaction of various conditions, including the achievement of an EBITDA-to -interest coverage ratio of at least 2.0x. We will be able to make distributions to enable Host Inc. to pay dividends on its preferred stock, if any, under the senior notes indenture when our EBITDA-to-interest coverage ratio is above 1.7 to 1.0. This ratio is calculated in accordance with the terms of our senior notes indenture applicable to our non-investment grade notes based on pro forma results for the four prior fiscal

S-22

quarters, giving effect to transactions such as acquisitions, dispositions and financings, as if they had occurred at the beginning of the period. Interest expense excludes items such as the gains and losses on the extinguishment of debt, deferred financing charges related to the senior notes or the Credit Facility and amortization of debt premiums or discounts that were recorded at acquisition of a loan to establish the debt at fair value. These amounts are included in interest expense on our consolidated statements of operations;

• other covenants limiting our ability to incur indebtedness and make distributions would include maintaining total indebtedness of less than 65% of adjusted total assets (using undepreciated real estate book values), excluding intangible assets, and maintaining secured indebtedness and subsidiary indebtedness of less than 45% of adjusted total assets (using undepreciated real estate book values). So long as we maintain the required level of interest coverage and satisfy these and other conditions in the senior notes indenture applicable to our non-investment grade notes, we may make preferred or common operating partnership unit (“OP Unit”) distributions and incur additional debt, including debt incurred in connection with an acquisition. Even if we are below the coverage levels otherwise required to incur debt and make distributions when our senior notes no longer are rated investment grade, we still will be permitted to incur certain types of debt, including (i) credit facility debt, (ii) refinancing debt, (iii) up to $400 million of mortgage debt which proceeds would be used to repay debt under the Credit Facility (and permanently reduce our ability to borrow under the Credit Facility by such amount) and (iv) up to $150 million of other debt. We also will be permitted to make distributions of estimated taxable income that are necessary to maintain Host Inc.’s REIT status;

• a requirement to maintain unencumbered assets, based on undepreciated real estate book values, of not less than 125% of the aggregate amount of senior note debt, plus other debt not secured by mortgages. This coverage requirement must be maintained at all times and is distinct from the coverage requirements necessary to incur debt or make distributions discussed above (which consequences, where we fall below the coverage level, are limited to restricting our ability to incur new debt or make distributions, but which would not otherwise cause a default under our senior notes indenture); and

• our ability to make distributions on, redeem or repurchase our OP Units; permit payment or distribution restrictions on certain of our subsidiaries; sell assets; enter into transactions with affiliates; and create certain liens will be restricted.

The following table summarizes the actual credit ratios for our Series C senior notes as of June 30, 2020 and the covenant requirements contained in the senior notes indenture that would be applicable at such times as our senior notes no longer are rated investment grade by either of Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s. Even if we were to lose the investment grade rating, we would be in compliance with all of our financial covenants under the senior notes indenture:

	Actual Ratio			Covenant Requirement
Unencumbered assets to total unsecured indebtedness test		447	%		Minimum ratio of 125	%
Total indebtedness to adjusted total assets		22	%		Maximum ratio of 65	%
Secured indebtedness to adjusted total assets		0	%		Maximum ratio of 45	%
EBITDA-to-interest coverage ratio		4.1	x		Minimum ratio of 2.0	x

The above EBITDA-to-interest coverage ratio as of June 30, 2020 is based on results for the third and fourth quarters of 2019 and first and second quarters of 2020. This ratio was 9.9x as of year-end 2019, 6.6x as of March 31, 2020, and as noted above, was 4.1x as of June 30, 2020. We expect this ratio to continue to decline in 2020 as more quarters of historically poor operations caused by the COVID-19 pandemic are reflected in the calculation. We expect the ratio to fall below the 2.0x requirement as of the end of the third quarter of 2020 and we will not be able to incur additional debt while the ratio is below this requirement.

In connection with the Tender Offer launched on August 11, 2020, we accepted for tender $364 million in aggregate principal amount of Series C senior notes. The Tender Offer was settled on August 20, 2020. There are currently $86 million principal amount of Series C senior notes outstanding.

S-23

Differences Between the Investment Grade Notes and our Non-Investment Grade Notes. The covenants and restrictions under the indentures applicable to our investment grade notes are similar to each other but are different than the covenants and restrictions (and related defined terms included therein) applicable to our Series C senior notes. Because our senior notes currently have an investment grade rating from both Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s, certain of the covenants that were applicable to the Series C senior notes upon their issuance are no longer applicable. See “—Restrictive Covenants for Our Series C Senior Notes Issued Before We Attained an Investment Grade Rating.” The covenants applicable to the investment grade notes are limited primarily to a limitation on incurrence of indebtedness covenant. See “—Restrictive Covenants for Senior Notes Issued After We Attained an Investment Grade Rating.” In the event the Series C senior notes no longer have an investment grade rating and the restrictive covenants described above applicable to the Series C senior notes are reinstated, those restrictive covenants will have different covenant levels than our investment grade notes and will not be applicable to the investment grade notes.

Also, unlike our Series C senior notes, the supplemental indentures applicable to our investment grade notes will not require us to make an offer to repurchase the investment grade notes upon the occurrence of a change of control. For a more detailed description of the terms and conditions of the Series I senior notes, see the section entitled “Description of Series I Senior Notes” in this prospectus supplement.

Mortgage Debt

We have structured our debt profile to maintain a balanced maturity schedule and to minimize the number of assets that are encumbered by mortgage debt. Currently, none of our consolidated hotels are encumbered by mortgage debt.

Mortgage Debt of Unconsolidated Partner Interests

We own non-controlling interests in partnerships and joint ventures that are not consolidated and are accounted for under the equity method. The portion of the mortgage and other debt of these partnerships and joint ventures attributable to us, based on our percentage of ownership thereof, was $144 million at June 30, 2020, which debt is non-recourse to us. This debt balance is attributable to our non-controlling interests in four domestic partnerships. For more information regarding these non-controlling partnership interests, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations—Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

DESCRIPTION OF SERIES I SENIOR NOTES

The following description of the terms of the Series I senior notes (referred to in the accompanying prospectus as the “debt securities”) supplements, and to the extent inconsistent, replaces the description of the general terms and provisions of the debt securities set forth in the accompanying prospectus. For purposes of this section, references to “Host L.P.,” “we,” “our,” or “us” refer only to Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P. and its successors in accordance with the terms of the Indenture (as hereinafter defined) and not to our subsidiaries.

On August 20, 2020 we issued the existing Series I senior notes pursuant to a supplement to our indenture, dated as of May 15, 2015, by and between Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P. and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended or supplemented from time to time (the “Indenture”). Pursuant to the Indenture, we issued $600 million aggregate principal amount of 3¹⁄₂% Series I senior notes due 2030 (the “existing Series I senior notes”). The $150 million aggregate principal amount of 3¹⁄₂% Series I senior notes due 2030 (the “additional Series I senior notes”) to be issued in this offering are Additional Notes (as defined below) under the Indenture, and will be treated together with the existing Series I senior notes as a single series of debt securities for all purposes under the Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. The additional Series I senior notes will have terms identical to the existing Series I senior notes, other than issue date and offering price, and will have the same CUSIP number as, and will vote together with, the existing Series I senior notes immediately upon settlement. Unless the context requires otherwise, references to the “Series I senior notes” in this section of the prospectus supplement include the existing Series I senior notes, the additional Series I senior notes offered hereby and any further Additional Notes that may be issued under the Indenture. 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 is not complete. The Indenture has been incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement, of which this prospectus supplement forms a part. You should read the Indenture for provisions that may be important to you. Capitalized terms used in the summary have the meanings specified in the accompanying prospectus or the Indenture.

Principal, Maturity and Interest

The Indenture provides that in addition to the $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of Series I senior notes issued on the Series Issue Date and the additional Series I senior notes offered hereby, we may also issue further additional Series I senior notes having identical terms and conditions to the Series I senior notes from time to time after this offering (the “Additional Notes”). Any issuance of Additional Notes is subject to compliance with the terms of the Indenture, including the covenant “—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness.” The aggregate principal amount of Series I senior notes and Additional Notes will be unlimited in aggregate principal amount outstanding. Any such Additional Notes would be issued on the same terms as the Series I senior notes, would constitute part of the same series of securities as the Series I senior notes and would vote together as one series on all matters with respect to the Series I senior notes (although they may have a different CUSIP number). All references to the Series I senior notes herein include the Additional Notes, except as stated otherwise.

The Series I senior notes will mature on September 15, 2030. Interest on the Series I senior notes will accrue at the rate of 3¹⁄₂% per annum and will be payable every six months in arrears on March 15 and September 15, commencing on March 15, 2021. We will make each interest payment to the holders of record of the Series I senior notes on the immediately preceding March 1 and September 1.

Interest on the Series I senior notes will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The additional Series I senior notes will be issued only in fully registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Series I senior notes will be payable at the office or agency maintained by us for such purpose, in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York.

S-25

Except as provided below, at our option, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the holders of any Series I senior notes at the addresses set forth upon our registry books; provided, however, that holders of certificated Series I senior 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 Series I senior 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 101 Barclay Street, New York, New York 10286.

Interest Rate Adjustment of the Series I Senior Notes Based on Certain Rating Events

The interest rate payable on the Series I senior notes will be subject to adjustment from time to time if either Moody’s or S&P (or, in either case, a Substitute Rating Agency (as defined in “— Certain Definitions” below)) downgrades (or subsequently upgrades) its rating assigned to the Series I senior notes, as set forth below.

If the rating of the Series I senior notes from one or both of Moody’s or S&P (or, if applicable, any Substitute Rating Agency) is decreased to a rating set forth in either of the immediately following tables, the interest rate on the Series I senior notes will increase from the interest rate set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement by an amount equal to the sum of the percentages per annum set forth in the following tables opposite those ratings:

Moody’s Rating*	Percentage
Ba1		0.25	%
Ba2		0.50	%
Ba3		0.75	%
B1 or below		1.00	%
S&P Rating*	Percentage
BB+		0.25	%
BB		0.50	%
BB-		0.75	%
B+ or below		1.00	%

* Including the equivalent ratings of any Substitute Rating Agency.

For purposes of making adjustments to the interest rate on the Series I senior notes, the following rules of interpretation will apply:

(1) if at any time less than two Rating Agencies provide a rating on the Series I senior notes for reasons not within our control (i) we will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a rating on the Series I senior notes from a Substitute Rating Agency for purposes of determining any increase or decrease in the interest rate on the Series I senior notes pursuant to the tables above, (ii) such Substitute Rating Agency will be substituted for the last Rating Agency to provide a rating on the Series I senior notes but which has since ceased to provide such rating, (iii) the relative ratings scale used by such Substitute Rating Agency to assign ratings to senior unsecured debt will be determined in good faith by an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by us and, for purposes of determining the applicable ratings included in the applicable table above with respect to such Substitute Rating Agency, such ratings shall be deemed to be the equivalent ratings used by Moody’s or S&P, as applicable, in such table, and (iv) the interest rate on the Series I senior notes will increase or decrease, as the case may be, from the interest rate set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement by an amount equal to the sum of the percentages per annum set forth in the equivalent table to the tables above

S-26

with respect to such Substitute Rating Agency (taking into account the provisions of clause (iii) above) (plus any applicable percentage resulting from a decreased rating by the other Rating Agency);

(2) for so long as only one Rating Agency (or Substitute Rating Agency, if applicable) provides a rating on the Series I senior notes, any increase or decrease in the interest rate on the Series I senior notes necessitated by a reduction or increase in the rating by that Rating Agency shall be twice the applicable percentage set forth in the applicable table above;

(3) if both Rating Agencies cease to provide a rating of the Series I senior notes for any reason, and no Substitute Rating Agency has provided a rating on the Series I senior notes, the interest rate on the Series I senior notes will increase to, or remain at, as the case may be, 2.00% per annum above the interest rate set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement;

(4) if Moody’s or S&P ceases to rate the Series I senior notes or make a rating of the Series I senior notes publicly available for reasons within our control, we will not be entitled to obtain a rating from a Substitute Rating Agency and the increase or decrease in the interest rate on the notes shall be determined in the manner described above as if either only one or no Rating Agency provides a rating on the notes, as the case may be;

(5) each interest rate adjustment required by any decrease or increase in a rating as set forth above, whether occasioned by the action of Moody’s or S&P (or, in either case, any Substitute Rating Agency), shall be made independently of (and in addition to) any and all other interest rate adjustments occasioned by the action of the other Rating Agency;

(6) in no event will (i) the interest rate on the Series I senior notes be reduced to below the interest rate on the notes on the Series Issue Date or (ii) the total increase in the interest rate on the Series I senior notes exceed 2.00% above the interest rate set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement; and

(7) subject to clauses (3) and (4) above, no adjustment in the interest rate on the Series I senior notes shall be made solely as a result of a Rating Agency ceasing to provide a rating of the Series I senior notes.

If at any time the interest rate on the Series I senior notes has been adjusted upward and either of the Rating Agencies subsequently increases its rating of the Series I senior notes, the interest rate on the Series I senior notes will again be adjusted downwards, if applicable, such that the interest rate on the Series I senior notes equals the interest rate payable on the Series I senior notes set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement plus (if applicable) an amount equal to the sum of the percentages per annum set forth opposite the ratings in the tables above with respect to the ratings assigned to the Series I senior notes (or deemed assigned) at that time, all calculated in accordance with the rules of interpretation set forth above. If Moody’s or any Substitute Rating Agency subsequently increases its rating on the Series I senior notes to “Baa3” (or its equivalent if with respect to any Substitute Rating Agency) or higher and S&P or any Substitute Rating Agency subsequently increases its rating on the Series I senior notes to “BBB-” (or its equivalent if with respect to any Substitute Rating Agency) or higher, the interest rate on the Series I senior notes will be as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement.

Any interest rate increase or decrease described above will take effect from the first day of the interest period following the period in which a rating change occurs requiring an adjustment in the interest rate. If either Rating Agency changes its rating of the Series I senior notes more than once during any particular interest period, the last such change by such Rating Agency to occur will control in the event of a conflict for purposes of any increase or decrease in the interest rate with respect to the Series I senior notes.

The interest rate on the Series I senior notes will permanently cease to be subject to any adjustment described above (notwithstanding any subsequent decrease in the ratings by either Rating Agency) if the Series I senior notes become rated “Baa1” or higher by Moody’s (or its equivalent if with respect to any Substitute Rating Agency) and “BBB+” or higher by S&P (or its equivalent if with respect to any Substitute Rating Agency), in each case with a stable or positive outlook.

S-27

If the interest rate on the Series I senior notes is increased as described above, the term “interest,” as used with respect to the Series I senior notes, will be deemed to include any such additional interest unless the context otherwise requires.

See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Additional Series I Notes—Changes in the ratings of the Series I senior notes, our credit ratings or the debt markets could adversely affect the price of the Series I senior notes.”

Optional Redemption

Prior to 90 days before maturity (the “Par Call Date”), upon not less than 15 nor more than 60 days’ notice, we may redeem the Series I senior notes at any time in whole or in part, 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, but not including, 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). Any notice to the holders of Series I senior notes of such a redemption need not set forth the redemption price of such Series I senior notes but need only set forth the calculation thereof as described in the immediately preceding sentence. 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.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, within the period beginning on or after the Par Call Date, upon not less than 15 nor more than 60 days’ notice, we may redeem the Series I senior notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the applicable redemption date.

In connection with any redemption of the Series I senior notes, any such redemption may, in our discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent. In addition, if such redemption or notice is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall state that, in our discretion, the redemption date may be delayed beyond such 60-day period until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by us in our sole discretion), or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption date, or by the redemption date so delayed. In addition, we may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of our obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another person.

We are not prohibited from acquiring the Series I senior notes by means other than a redemption, whether pursuant to an issuer tender offer, in open market transactions, or otherwise, assuming such acquisition does not otherwise violate the terms of the Indenture.

No sinking fund or other mandatory redemption is provided for the Series I senior notes.

Ranking

The Series I senior notes are senior unsecured obligations, that rank senior to all of our future subordinated indebtedness and rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness, including our Credit Facility, the existing senior notes and any future series of senior notes issued pursuant to the Indenture.

The Series I senior notes and the existing senior notes are effectively subordinated to all of our existing and future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness, and to the indebtedness of our subsidiaries. For further information on ranking, see “Risk Factors—The Series I senior notes are effectively subordinated to our secured debt and to the liabilities of our subsidiaries” in this prospectus supplement and “Description of Debt Securities—General” in the accompanying prospectus.

S-28

Certain Covenants

The Indenture governing the Series I senior notes contains, among other things, the covenants set forth below.

Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness

Aggregate Debt Test. We will not, and will not cause or permit any of our Subsidiaries to, incur any Indebtedness, including, without limitation, Acquired Indebtedness, if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of that Indebtedness and the application of the proceeds therefrom on a pro forma basis, the aggregate principal amount of all of our outstanding Indebtedness and all of the outstanding Indebtedness of our Subsidiaries, determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, is greater than 65% of the sum of, without duplication:

• the Total Assets of us and our Subsidiaries as of the last day of the then most recently ended fiscal quarter; and

• the aggregate purchase price of any real estate assets or mortgages receivable acquired, and the aggregate amount of any securities offering proceeds received, to the extent the proceeds were not used to acquire real estate assets or mortgages receivable or used to reduce Indebtedness, by us or any of our Subsidiaries since the end of that fiscal quarter, including the proceeds obtained from the incurrence of that additional Indebtedness, determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP.

Debt Service Test. We will not, and will not cause or permit any of our Subsidiaries to, incur any Indebtedness, including, without limitation, Acquired Indebtedness, if the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA to the Interest Expense for the period consisting of the four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended for which financial statements have been filed by Host L.P. with the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to the date on which the additional Indebtedness is to be incurred shall have been less than 1.5:1 on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the incurrence of that Indebtedness and the application of the proceeds therefrom (determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP), and calculated on the assumption that:

• the Indebtedness and any other Indebtedness, including, without limitation, Acquired Indebtedness, incurred by us or any of our Subsidiaries since the first day of the relevant four-quarter period had been incurred, and the application of the proceeds therefrom, including to repay or retire other Indebtedness, had occurred, on the first day of the period;

• the repayment or retirement of any of our other Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness repaid or retired with the proceeds of any other Indebtedness, which repayment or retirement shall be calculated pursuant to the preceding bullet and not this bullet) or any other Indebtedness of our Subsidiaries since the first day of the relevant four-quarter period had occurred on the first day of the period; and

• in the case of any acquisition or disposition by us or any of our Subsidiaries of any asset or group of assets, in any such case with a fair market value in excess of $1 million, since the first day of the relevant four-quarter period, whether by merger, stock purchase or sale or asset purchase or sale or otherwise, that acquisition or disposition had occurred as of the first day of the period with the appropriate adjustments with respect to the acquisition or disposition being included in the pro forma calculation.

If the Indebtedness giving rise to the need to make the calculation listed above or any other Indebtedness incurred after the first day of the relevant four-quarter period bears interest at a floating rate then, for purposes of calculating the Interest Expense, the interest rate on that Indebtedness shall be computed on a pro forma basis as if the average rate which would have been in effect during the entire relevant four-quarter period had been the applicable rate for the entire period.

Secured Debt Test. We will not, and will not cause or permit any of our Subsidiaries to, incur Secured Indebtedness, if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of the Secured Indebtedness and the

S-29

application of the proceeds from the Secured Indebtedness on a pro forma basis, the aggregate principal amount, determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, of all of our outstanding Secured Indebtedness and all outstanding Secured Indebtedness of our Subsidiaries is greater than 40% of the sum of, without duplication:

• the Total Assets of us and our Subsidiaries as of the last day of the then most recently ended fiscal quarter; and

• the aggregate purchase price of any real estate assets or mortgages receivable acquired, and the aggregate amount of any securities offering proceeds received, to the extent those proceeds were not used to acquire real estate assets or mortgages receivable or used to reduce Indebtedness, by us or any of our Subsidiaries since the end of the relevant fiscal quarter, including the proceeds obtained from the incurrence of that additional Indebtedness, determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP.

Maintenance of Total Unencumbered Assets. We will have at all times Total Unencumbered Assets of not less than 150% of the aggregate principal amount of all of our outstanding Unsecured Indebtedness and the outstanding Unsecured Indebtedness of our Subsidiaries, determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP.

The calculation of the ratios set forth in this Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness covenant shall be undertaken by us.

Limitation on Liens

Neither we nor any Subsidiary shall secure any Indebtedness under the Credit Facility or the existing senior notes by a Lien or suffer to exist any Lien on their respective properties or assets securing Indebtedness under the Credit Facility or the existing senior notes unless effective provision is made to secure the Series I senior notes equally and ratably with the Lien securing such Indebtedness for so long as Indebtedness under the Credit Facility or existing senior notes is secured by such Lien.

Future Pledges

The Series I senior notes are not initially secured by pledges of equity interests in our subsidiaries and are effectively subordinated to all of our existing and future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness. In the event that the Credit Facility requires, our obligation to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Series I senior notes will be 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 existing senior notes and certain other of our Indebtedness ranking pari passu in right of payment with the Series I senior notes, including, unless otherwise provided for in the applicable supplemental indenture, any series of senior notes issued under the Indenture in the future.

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 all of our senior notes shall be automatically released; provided that should our obligations under the Credit Facility subsequently be secured by a pledge of such Capital Stock at any time, we must cause such Capital Stock to be pledged ratably and with at least the same priority for the benefit of holders of the Series I senior notes.

Future Guarantees

Each of our Subsidiaries that guarantees any of our Indebtedness (the “Guaranteed Indebtedness”) in the future will be required to guarantee the Series I senior notes offered hereby. If the Guaranteed Indebtedness is (A) pari passu in right of payment with the Series I senior notes, then the guarantee of such Guaranteed

S-30

Indebtedness shall be pari passu in right of payment with, or subordinated in right of payment to, the future guarantee of the Series I senior note required hereby or (B) subordinated in right of payment to the Series I senior notes, then the guarantee of such Guaranteed Indebtedness shall be subordinated in right of payment to the future guarantee of the Series I senior notes required hereby at least to the extent that the Guaranteed Indebtedness is subordinated in right of payment to the Series I senior notes. The Series I senior notes are not initially guaranteed by Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. or any of our direct or indirect subsidiaries.

“Event of Default” means with respect to the Series I senior notes, any of the following:

• default in the payment of any interest upon the Series I senior notes when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days (unless the entire amount of the payment is deposited by us with the trustee or with a paying agent prior to the expiration of the 30-day period);

• default in the payment of principal of the Series I senior notes at its maturity;

• a default in (a) Secured Indebtedness of Host L.P. or any of Host L.P.’s Subsidiaries with an aggregate principal amount in excess of 5% of Total Assets, or (b) other Indebtedness of Host L.P. or any of Host L.P.’s Subsidiaries with an aggregate principal amount in excess of $150 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;

• default in the performance or breach of any other covenant or warranty by us in the Indenture (other than a covenant or warranty that has been included in the Indenture solely for the benefit of a series of debt securities other than that series), which default continues uncured for a period of 60 days after we receive written notice from the trustee, or Host L.P. and the trustee receive written notice from the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series as provided in the Indenture; or

• certain voluntary or involuntary events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of Host L.P.

Book-Entry; Delivery; Form and Transfer

The additional Series I senior notes will be represented by one or more notes in registered, global form without interest coupons (collectively, the “Global Notes”). The Global Notes will be deposited upon issuance with the Trustee as custodian for The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), in New York, New York, and registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, in each case, for credit to an account of a direct or indirect participant in DTC as described below.

The following description of the operations and procedures of DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream are provided solely as a matter of convenience. These operations and procedures are solely within the control of the respective settlement systems and are subject to changes by them. We take no responsibility for these operations and procedures and urge investors to contact the system or their participants directly to discuss these matters.

DTC has advised us that DTC is a limited-purpose trust company created to hold securities for its participating organizations, called the “direct participants,” and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of transactions in those securities between direct participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of participants. The direct participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Indirect access to DTC’s system is also available to other entities that clear through or maintain a direct or indirect custodial relationship with a direct participant, called the “indirect participants.” DTC may hold securities beneficially owned by other persons only through the direct participants or indirect participants and such other person’s ownership interest and transfer of ownership interest will be recorded only on the records of the direct participant and/or indirect participant and not on the records maintained by DTC.

S-34

DTC has also advised us that, pursuant to DTC’s procedures, (1) upon issuance of the Global Notes, DTC will credit the accounts of the direct participants with portions of the principal amount of the Global Notes, and (2) DTC will maintain records of the ownership interests of such direct participants in the Global Notes and the transfer of ownership interests by and between direct participants, DTC will not maintain records of the ownership interests of, or the transfer of ownership interest by and between, indirect participants or other owners of beneficial interests in the Global Notes. Direct participants and indirect participants must maintain their own records of the ownership interests of, and the transfer of ownership interests by and between, indirect participants and other owners of beneficial interests in the Global Notes.

Clearstream. Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (“Clearstream”) is incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg as a professional depositary. Clearstream holds securities for its participating organizations (“Clearstream Participants”) and facilitates the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between Clearstream Participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of Clearstream Participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates. Clearstream provides Clearstream Participants with, among other things, services for safekeeping, administration, clearance and establishment of internationally traded securities and securities lending and borrowing. Clearstream interfaces with domestic markets in several countries. As a professional depositary, Clearstream is subject to regulation by the Luxembourg Monetary Institute. Clearstream Participants are recognized financial institutions around the world, including underwriters, securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations, and may include the underwriters. Indirect access to Clearstream is also available to others, such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Clearstream Participant either directly or indirectly.

Distributions with respect to notes held beneficially through Clearstream will be credited to cash accounts of Clearstream Participants in accordance with its rules and procedures to the extent received by DTC for Clearstream.

Euroclear . Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. (“Euroclear”) was created in 1968 to hold securities for participants of Euroclear (“Euroclear Participants”) and to clear and settle transactions between Euroclear Participants through simultaneous electronic book-entry delivery against payment, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates and any risk from lack of simultaneous transfers of securities and cash. Euroclear includes various other services, including securities lending and borrowing and interfaces with domestic markets in several markets in several countries. Euroclear is operated by Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. (the “Euroclear Operator”), under contract with Euro-clear Clearance Systems S.C., a Belgian cooperative corporation (the “Cooperative”). All operations are conducted by the Euroclear Operator, and all Euroclear securities clearance accounts and Euroclear cash accounts are accounts with the Euroclear Operator, not the Cooperative. The Cooperative establishes policy for Euroclear on behalf of Euroclear Participants. Euroclear Participants include banks (including central banks), securities brokers and dealers and other professional financial intermediaries and may include the underwriters. Indirect access to Euroclear is also available to other firms that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Euroclear Participant, either directly or indirectly.

The Euroclear Operator is regulated and examined by the Belgian Banking Commission.

Links have been established among DTC, Clearstream and Euroclear to facilitate the initial issuance of the additional Series I senior notes sold outside of the United States and cross-market transfers of the additional Series I senior notes associated with secondary market trading.

Although DTC, Clearstream and Euroclear have agreed to the procedures provided below in order to facilitate transfers, they are under no obligation to perform these procedures, and these procedures may be modified or discontinued at any time. Neither we, nor the Trustee nor any of our or their respective agents 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.

S-35

Clearstream and Euroclear will record the ownership interests of their participants in much the same way as DTC, and DTC will record the total ownership of each of the U.S. agents of Clearstream and Euroclear, as participants in DTC. When Series I senior notes are to be transferred from the account of a DTC participant to the account of a Clearstream Participant or a Euroclear Participant, the purchaser must send instructions to Clearstream or Euroclear through a participant at least one day prior to settlement. Clearstream or Euroclear, as the case may be, will instruct its U.S. agent to receive Series I senior notes against payment. After settlement, Clearstream or Euroclear will credit its participant’s account. Credit for the Series I senior notes will appear on the next day (European time).

Because settlement is taking place during New York business hours, DTC participants will be able to employ their usual procedures for sending notes to the relevant U.S. agent acting for the benefit of Clearstream Participants or Euroclear Participants. The sale proceeds will be available to DTC seller on the settlement date. As a result, to a DTC participant, a cross-market transaction will settle no differently than a trade between two DTC participants.

When a Clearstream Participant or Euroclear Participant wishes to transfer Series I senior notes to a DTC participant, the seller will be required to send instructions to Clearstream or Euroclear through a participant at least one business day prior to settlement. In these cases, Clearstream or Euroclear will instruct its U.S. agent to transfer these Series I senior notes against payment for them. The payment will then be reflected in the account of the Clearstream Participant or Euroclear Participant the following day, with the proceeds back valued to the value date, which would be the preceding day, when settlement occurs in New York, if settlement is not completed on the intended value date, that is, the trade fails, proceeds credited to the Clearstream Participant’s or Euroclear Participant’s account will instead be valued as of the actual settlement date.

You should be aware that you will only be able to make and receive deliveries, payments and other communications involving the Series I senior notes through Clearstream and Euroclear on the days when those clearing systems are open for business. Those systems may not be open for business on days when banks, brokers and other institutions are open for business in the United States. In addition, because of time zone differences there may be problems with completing transactions involving Clearstream and Euroclear on the same business day as in the United States.

Except as described below, owners of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will not have notes registered in their names, will not receive physical delivery of additional Series I senior notes in certificated form and will not be considered the registered owners or holders thereof under the Indenture for any purpose.

Under the terms of the Indenture, we and the Trustee will treat the persons in whose names the additional Series I senior notes are registered (including additional Series I senior notes represented by Global Notes) as the owners thereof for the purpose of receiving payments and for any and all other purposes whatsoever. Payments in respect of the principal, premium, liquidated damages, if any, and interest on Global Notes registered in the name of DTC or its nominee will be payable by the Trustee to DTC or its nominee as the registered holder under the Indenture. Consequently, neither of us or the Trustee nor any agent of ours or the Trustee has or will have any responsibility or liability for (1) any aspect of DTC’s records or any direct participant’s or indirect participant’s records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the Global Notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any of DTC’s records or any direct participant’s or indirect participant’s records relating to the beneficial ownership interests in any Global Note or (2) any other matter relating to the actions and practices of DTC or any of its direct participants or indirect participants. Transfers between participants in Euroclear and Clearstream will be effected in accordance with their respective rules and operating procedures.

DTC has advised us that its current payment practice (for payments of principal, interest and the like) with respect to securities such as the additional Series I senior notes is to credit the accounts of the relevant direct participants with such payment on the payment date in amounts proportionate to such direct participant’s

S-36

respective ownership interests in the Global Notes as shown on DTC’s records. Payments by direct participants and indirect participants to the beneficial owners of the additional Series I senior notes will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices between them and will not be the responsibility of DTC, the Trustee or us. Neither of us or the Trustee will be liable for any delay by DTC or its direct participants or indirect participants in identifying the beneficial owners of the additional Series I senior notes, and we and the Trustee may conclusively rely on and will be protected in relying on instructions from DTC or its nominee as the registered owner of the notes for all purposes.

The Global Notes will trade in DTC’s “Same-Day Funds Settlement System” and, therefore, transfers between direct participants in DTC will be effected in accordance with DTC’s procedures, and will be settled in immediately available funds. Transfers between indirect participants who hold an interest through a direct participant will be effected in accordance with the procedures of such direct participant but generally will settle in immediately available funds.

DTC has advised that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of Series I senior notes only at the direction of one or more direct participants to whose account interests in the Global Notes are credited and only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of the Series I senior notes as to which such direct participant or direct participants has or have given direction. However, if there is an Event of Default under the Series I senior notes, DTC reserves the right to exchange Global Notes (without the direction of one or more of its direct participants) for legended Series I senior notes in certificated form, and to distribute such certificated forms of Series I senior notes to its direct participants. See “—Transfers of Interests in Global Notes for Certificated Notes.”

The information in this section concerning DTC and its book-entry system and Euroclear and Clearstream has been obtained from sources that we believe to be reliable, but we take no responsibility for its accuracy.

Transfers of Interests in Global Notes for Certificated Notes

An entire Global Note may be exchanged for definitive notes in registered, certificated form without interest coupons if (1) DTC (x) notifies us that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global Notes and we thereupon fail to appoint a successor Depositary within 90 days or (y) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and we thereupon fail to appoint a successor Depositary, (2) we, at our option, notify the Trustee in writing that we elect to cause the issuance of certificated notes or (3) upon the request of the Trustee or holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Series I senior notes, if there shall have occurred and be continuing a Default or an Event of Default with respect to the Series I senior notes. In any such case, we will notify the Trustee in writing that, upon surrender by the direct participants and indirect participants of their interest in such Global Note, certificated notes will be issued to each person that such direct participants and indirect participants and DTC identify as being the beneficial owner of the related Series I senior notes.

Beneficial interests in Global Notes held by any direct participant or indirect participant may be exchanged for certificated notes upon request to DTC, by such direct participant (for itself or on behalf of an indirect participant), and to the Trustee in accordance with customary DTC procedures, certificated notes delivered in exchange for any beneficial interest in any Global Notes will be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by DTC on behalf of such direct participants or indirect participants (in accordance with DTC’s customary procedures).

Neither of us nor the Trustee will be liable for any delay by the holder of any Global Notes or DTC in identifying the beneficial owners of Series I senior notes, and we and the Trustee may conclusively rely on, and will be protected in relying on, instructions from the holder of the Global Note or DTC for all purposes.

S-37

Same Day Settlement and Payment

The Indenture requires that payments in respect of the Series I senior 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. The additional Series I senior notes represented by the Global Notes are expected to trade in DTC’s Same-Day Funds Settlement System, and any permitted secondary market trading activity in such additional Series I senior notes will, therefore, be required by DTC to be settled in immediately available funds. We expect that secondary trading in the certificated notes will also be settled in immediately available funds.

Because of time zone differences, the securities account of a Euroclear Participant or Clearstream Participant purchasing an interest in a Global Note from a direct participant will be credited, and any such crediting will be reported to the relevant Euroclear Participant or Clearstream Participant, during the securities settlement processing day (which must be a business day for Euroclear and Clearstream) immediately following the settlement date of DTC. DTC has advised us that cash received in Euroclear or Clearstream as a result of sales of interests in a Global Note by or through a Euroclear Participant or Clearstream Participant to a direct participant will be received with value on the settlement date of DTC but will be available in the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream cash account only as of the business day for Euroclear or Clearstream following DTC’s settlement date.

S-38

UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following discussion is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations relevant to the purchase, ownership and disposition of the additional Series I senior notes, but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax effects. The discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), U.S. Treasury Regulations issued thereunder, Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) rulings and pronouncements and judicial decisions now in effect, all of which are subject to change at any time. Any such change may be applied retroactively in a manner that could adversely affect a holder of the additional Series I senior notes. This discussion does not address all of the U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to a holder in light of such holder’s particular circumstances, including the impact of the unearned income Medicare contribution tax. In addition, it does not address considerations relevant to holders subject to special rules, such as banks, financial institutions, U.S. expatriates, insurance companies, dealers in securities or currencies, traders in securities, partnerships or other pass-through entities, U.S. Holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, tax-exempt organizations, persons subject to special tax accounting rules as a result of any item of gross income with respect to the additional Series I senior notes being taken into account in an applicable financial statement and persons holding the additional Series I senior notes as part of a “straddle,” “hedge,” “conversion transaction” or other integrated transaction. In addition, this discussion is limited to persons purchasing the additional Series I senior notes for cash in the offering hereby at the offer price indicated on the cover page. Moreover, the effect of other U.S. federal tax laws, such as estate and gift tax laws, and any applicable state, local or foreign tax laws is not discussed. The discussion deals only with notes held as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code.

As used herein, “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of the additional Series I senior notes who or that is or is treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as:

• an individual that is a citizen or resident of the United States, including an alien individual who is a lawful permanent resident of the United States or meets the “substantial presence” test under Section 7701(b) of the Code;

• a corporation or other entity taxable as a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or a political subdivision thereof;

• an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

• a trust, if (i) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons can control all substantial trust decisions, or (ii) the trust was in existence on August 20, 1996 and it has elected to continue to be treated as a U.S. person.

No rulings from the IRS have been or will be sought with respect to the matters discussed below. There can be no assurance that the IRS will not take a different position concerning the tax considerations of the purchase, ownership or disposition of the additional Series I senior notes or that any such position would not be sustained. If a partnership or other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds the additional Series I senior notes, the tax treatment of a partner generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Such a partner should consult its tax advisor as to the tax considerations of the partnership’s purchase, ownership and disposition of the additional Series I senior notes.

This discussion is for information purposes only and is not intended as tax advice. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors with regard to the application of the tax considerations discussed below to their particular situations as well as to the application of any federal, state, local, foreign or other tax laws, including gift and estate tax laws or any tax treaties.

Additional Payments

In certain circumstances, we may be obligated to pay amounts in excess of the stated principal and interest on the additional Series I senior notes, including as described under “Description of Series I Senior Notes—

S-39

Optional Redemption” and “Description of Series I Senior Notes—Interest Rate Adjustment of the Series I Senior Notes Based on Certain Rating Events.” We intend to take the position that these contingencies will not cause the additional Series I senior notes to be treated as contingent payment debt instruments under the applicable Treasury Regulations. Assuming this position is respected by the IRS, a holder of the additional Series I senior notes will be required to include in income the amounts of any such additional payments at the time such payments are received or accrued, in accordance with such holder’s method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Our position is binding on a holder of the additional Series I senior notes, unless it discloses in the proper manner to the IRS that it is taking a different position. If the IRS successfully challenged our position, and the additional Series I senior notes were treated as contingent payment debt instruments, a holder of the additional Series I senior notes would be required to accrue interest income at a rate higher than the yield to maturity of the additional Series I senior notes (based on stated interest), regardless of the holder’s method of accounting, and to treat as ordinary income, rather than capital gain, any gain recognized on a sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of an additional Series I senior note. In addition, if either the existing Series I senior notes or the additional Series I senior notes are treated as contingent payment debt instruments, the additional Series I senior notes will not be treated as part of the “same issue” as, and accordingly will not be fungible with, the existing Series I senior notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This discussion assumes that the additional Series I senior notes will not be considered contingent payment debt instruments. Holders of the additional Series I senior notes are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application to the additional Series I senior notes of the contingent payment debt instrument rules and the consequences thereof.

U.S. Holders

Interest

Payments of stated interest on the additional Series I senior notes generally will be taxable to a U.S. Holder as ordinary income at the time that such interest payments are received or accrued, in accordance with such U.S. Holder’s method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Pre-Issuance Accrued Interest

A portion of the price paid for the additional Series I senior notes will be allocable to interest that accrued prior to the date the additional Series I senior notes are purchased (the “Pre-Issuance Accrued Interest”). We intend to take the position that a portion of the interest received on the first interest payment date equal to the Pre-Issuance Accrued Interest should be treated as a return of the Pre-Issuance Accrued Interest and not as a payment of interest on the additional Series I senior notes. Amounts treated as a return of Pre-Issuance Accrued Interest should not be taxable when received and should be excluded from the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the applicable additional Series I senior notes.

Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of the Additional Series I Senior Notes

A U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss on the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of an additional Series I senior note equal to the difference between the amount realized upon the disposition (less the amount allocable to any accrued and unpaid interest, which will be taxed as interest to the extent not previously included in income, and less the amount attributable to Pre-Issuance Accrued Interest) and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the additional Series I senior note. A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in an additional Series I senior note generally will be the U.S. Holder’s cost therefor, excluding any amount attributable to Pre-Issuance Accrued Interest and reduced by any principal payments previously received with respect to the additional Series I senior note. This gain or loss generally will be a capital gain or loss, and will be a long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder has held the additional Series I senior note for more than one year. Otherwise, such gain or loss will be a short-term capital gain or loss. Long-term capital gains recognized by certain non-corporate U.S. Holders, including individuals, generally will be taxable at a reduced rate. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

S-40

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

A U.S. Holder may be subject to information reporting and a backup withholding tax with respect to interest income on the additional Series I senior notes and the proceeds received upon the sale or other disposition of such additional Series I senior notes. Certain U.S. Holders generally are not subject to information reporting or backup withholding. A U.S. Holder will be subject to backup withholding if such holder is not otherwise exempt and it:

• fails to furnish its taxpayer identification number (“TIN”), which, for an individual, is ordinarily his or her social security number;

• furnishes an incorrect TIN;

• is notified by the IRS that it has failed to properly report payments of interest or dividends; or

• fails to certify, under penalties of perjury, that it has furnished a correct TIN and that the IRS has not notified the U.S. Holder that it is subject to backup withholding.

U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding their qualification for an exemption from backup withholding and the procedures for obtaining such an exemption, if applicable. The backup withholding tax is not an additional tax and taxpayers may use amounts withheld as a credit against their U.S. federal income tax liability or may claim a refund as long as they timely provide certain information to the IRS, generally on a U.S. federal income tax return.

Non-U.S. Holders

A non-U.S. Holder is a beneficial owner of the additional Series I senior notes who is not a U.S. Holder and is not a partnership or other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Interest

Subject to the discussions below on backup withholding and FATCA (as defined herein), payments of interest (including for this purpose the portion of the first interest payment allocable to Pre-Issuance Accrued Interest) made to a non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to a U.S. federal withholding tax of 30% (or, if applicable, a lower income tax treaty rate) provided that such payments are not effectively connected with the non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business and:

• such holder does not directly or indirectly, actually or constructively, own 10% or more of our capital or profits;

• such holder is not a controlled foreign corporation that is related to us through actual or constructive stock ownership and is not a bank that received its additional Series I senior notes on an extension of credit made pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business; and

• (1) the non-U.S. Holder certifies in a statement provided to us or our paying agent under penalties of perjury that it is not a “United States person” within the meaning of the Code and provides its name and address, (2) a securities clearing organization, bank or other financial institution that holds customers’ securities in the ordinary course of its trade or business and holds the additional Series I senior notes on behalf of the non-U.S. Holder certifies to us or our paying agent under penalties of perjury that it, or the financial institution between it and the non-U.S. Holder, has received from the non-U.S. Holder a statement under penalties of perjury that such holder is not a United States person and provides us or our paying agent with a copy of such statement, or (3) the non-U.S. Holder holds its additional Series I senior notes directly through a “qualified intermediary” and certain conditions are satisfied.

S-41

Even if the above conditions are not met, a non-U.S. Holder may be entitled to a reduction in or an exemption from withholding tax on interest under an income tax treaty between the United States and the non-U.S. Holder’s country of residence. To claim such a reduction or exemption, a non-U.S. Holder generally must provide us or our paying agent with a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E and claim this reduction or exemption on the form. In some cases, a non-U.S. Holder may instead be permitted to provide documentary evidence of its claim to the intermediary, or a qualified intermediary already may have some or all of the necessary evidence in its files. A non-U.S. Holder generally also will be exempt from withholding tax on interest if such interest is effectively connected with such holder’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business (as described below) and the holder provides us or our paying agent with a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI.

The certification requirements described above may require a non-U.S. Holder that claims the benefit of an income tax treaty also to provide its U.S. TIN. The certifications described above must be provided to the applicable withholding agent prior to the payment of interest and must be updated periodically. Non-U.S. Holders of the additional Series I senior notes that do not timely provide the applicable withholding agent with the required certification, but that qualify for a lower income tax treaty rate, may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the certification requirements for non-U.S. persons.

Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the possibility of claiming a refund with respect to any withholding imposed on the portion of the first interest payment allocable to Pre-Issuance Accrued Interest.

Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of the Additional Series I Senior Notes

Subject to the discussions below on backup withholding and FATCA, a non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax or withholding tax on gain recognized on the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of an additional Series I senior note that is not effectively connected with the non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business. However, an individual non-U.S. Holder who was present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the disposition and meets certain other conditions will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or, if applicable, a lower income tax treaty rate) on, and will be required to file a U.S. federal income tax return with respect to, any gain derived from the disposition. Such gain may be offset by certain U.S. source capital losses of the non-U.S. Holder (even though the individual is not considered a resident of the United States) provided the non-U.S. Holder has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding any applicable income tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

U.S. Trade or Business

If interest or gain from a disposition of the additional Series I senior notes is effectively connected with a non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business and, if an income tax treaty applies, the non-U.S. Holder maintains a U.S. “permanent establishment” to which the interest or gain is attributable, the non-U.S. Holder generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the interest or gain on a net basis in the same manner as if it were a U.S. Holder. If interest received with respect to the additional Series I senior notes is taxable on a net basis, the 30% withholding tax described above will not apply (assuming an appropriate certification is provided on IRS Form W-8ECI). A foreign corporation that is a holder of an additional Series I senior note also may be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% on its effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year, subject to certain adjustments, unless it qualifies for a lower income tax treaty rate. For this purpose, interest on an additional Series I senior note or gain recognized on the disposition of an additional Series I senior note will be included in earnings and profits if the interest or gain is effectively connected with the conduct by the foreign corporation of a trade or business in the United States. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding any applicable income tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

S-42

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

Backup withholding generally will not apply to payments of interest made by us or our paying agent to a non-U.S. Holder of an additional Series I senior note if the holder meets the identification and certification requirements discussed above under “Non-U.S. Holders—Interest” for reduction in or exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax or otherwise establishes an exemption. However, information reporting on IRS Form 1042-S still may apply with respect to interest payments. Payments of the proceeds from a disposition by a non-U.S. Holder of an additional Series I senior note made to or through a foreign office of a broker will not be subject to information reporting or backup withholding, except that information reporting (but generally not backup withholding) may apply to those payments if the broker has certain connections to the United States.

Payment of the proceeds from a disposition by a non-U.S. Holder of an additional Series I senior note made to or through the U.S. office of a broker generally is subject to information reporting and backup withholding unless the non-U.S. Holder or beneficial owner establishes an exemption from information reporting and backup withholding.

Copies of information returns that are filed with the IRS also may be available under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty or agreement with the tax authorities of the country in which the non-U.S. Holder of an additional Series I senior note resides or is established.

Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding application of withholding, information reporting and backup withholding in their particular circumstance and the availability of any procedure for obtaining an exemption from withholding, information reporting and backup withholding under current Treasury Regulations. In this regard, the current Treasury Regulations provide that a certification may not be relied on if the payor knows or has reasons to know that the certification may be false. The backup withholding tax is not an additional tax and taxpayers may use amounts withheld as a credit against their U.S. federal income tax liability or may claim a refund as long as they timely provide certain information to the IRS, generally on a U.S. federal income tax return.

Additional Withholding Tax on Payments Made to Foreign Accounts

Withholding taxes may be imposed under Sections 1471 to 1474 of the Code (such Sections commonly referred to as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, or “FATCA”) on certain types of payments made to non-U.S. financial institutions and certain other non-U.S. entities. Specifically, a 30% withholding tax may be imposed on payments of interest on, or (subject to the proposed Treasury Regulations discussed below) gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, an additional Series I senior note paid to a “foreign financial institution” or a “non-financial foreign entity” (each as defined in the Code), unless (1) the foreign financial institution undertakes certain diligence and reporting obligations, (2) the non-financial foreign entity either certifies it does not have any “substantial United States owners” (as defined in the Code) or furnishes identifying information regarding each substantial United States owner, or (3) the foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity otherwise qualifies for an exemption from these rules. If the payee is a foreign financial institution and is subject to the diligence and reporting requirements in (1) above, it must enter into an agreement with the U.S. Department of the Treasury requiring, among other things, that it undertakes to identify accounts held by certain “specified United States persons” or “United States-owned foreign entities” (each as defined in the Code), annually report certain information about such accounts, and withhold 30% on certain payments to non-compliant foreign financial institutions and certain other account holders. Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules.

S-43

Under the applicable Treasury Regulations and IRS guidance, withholding under FATCA generally will apply to payments of interest on an additional Series I senior note. While withholding under FATCA also would have applied to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of an additional Series I senior note on or after January 1, 2019, proposed Treasury Regulations eliminate FATCA withholding on payments of gross proceeds entirely. Taxpayers generally may rely on these proposed Treasury Regulations until final Treasury Regulations are issued.

Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of withholding under FATCA to their investment in the additional Series I senior notes.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the underwriting agreement, the underwriters have agreed, severally and not jointly, to purchase all of the additional Series I senior notes sold under the underwriting agreement if any of these additional Series I senior notes are purchased. If an underwriter defaults, the underwriting agreement provides that the purchase commitments of the non-defaulting underwriters may be increased or the underwriting agreement may be terminated. The offering of the additional Series I senior notes by the underwriters is subject to receipt and acceptance and subject to the underwriters’ right to reject any order in whole or in part.

We have agreed to indemnify the several underwriters and their controlling persons against certain liabilities in connection with this offering, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.

The underwriters are offering the additional Series I senior notes, subject to prior sale, when, as and if issued to and accepted by them, subject to approval of legal matters by their counsel, including the validity of the additional Series I senior notes, and other conditions contained in the underwriting agreement, such as the receipt by the underwriters of officer’s certificates and legal opinions. The underwriters reserve the right to withdraw, cancel or modify offers to the public and to reject orders in whole or in part.

The representatives have advised us that the underwriters propose initially to offer the additional Series I senior notes to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement and may offer the additional Series I senior notes to certain dealers at a price that represents a concession not in excess of 0.40% of the principal amount of the additional Series I senior notes. After the initial offering, the public offering price or any other term of the offering may be changed.

S-45

The following table shows the underwriting discount that we are to pay to the underwriters in connection with this offering.

Underwriters	Paid by Host L.P.
Per additional Series I senior note		0.65	%
Total	$	975,000

The expenses of the offering, not including the underwriting discount, are estimated at $650,000 and are payable by us.

New Issue of Notes

We have not and do not intend to apply for listing of the additional Series I senior notes on any securities exchange or for inclusion of the Series I senior notes on any automated dealer quotation system. We have been advised by the underwriters that they presently intend to continue to make a market in the Series I senior notes after completion of the offering. However, they are under no obligation to do so and may discontinue any market-making activities at any time without any notice. We cannot assure the liquidity of the trading market for the Series I senior notes or that an active public market for the Series I senior notes will exist. If an active public trading market for the Series I senior notes does not exist, the market price and liquidity of the Series I senior notes may be adversely affected. If the Series I senior notes are traded, they may trade at a discount from their initial offering price, depending on prevailing interest rates, the market for similar securities, our operating performance and financial condition, general economic conditions and other factors.

Settlement

We expect that delivery of the Series I senior notes will be made to investors on or about September 3, 2020, which will be the third business day following the date of this prospectus supplement (such settlement being referred to as “T+3”). Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade additional Series I senior notes on the date of this prospectus supplement will be required, by virtue of the fact that the additional Series I senior notes initially settle in T+3, to specify an alternate settlement arrangement at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the additional Series I senior notes who wish to trade the additional Series I senior notes on the date of this prospectus supplement should consult their advisors.

No Sales of Similar Securities

We have agreed that we will not, from the date of this prospectus supplement through the settlement date, without first obtaining the prior written consent of the representatives, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any debt securities or any warrants, rights or options to purchase or otherwise acquire debt securities substantially similar to the Series I senior notes, except for the additional Series I senior notes sold to the underwriters pursuant to the underwriting agreement and commercial paper issued in the ordinary course of business.

Short Positions

In connection with the offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell the Series I senior notes in the open market. These transactions may include short sales and purchases on the open market to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater principal amount of Series I senior notes than they are required to purchase in the offering. The underwriters must close out any short position by purchasing Series I senior notes in the open market. A short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the Series I senior notes in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.

S-46

Similar to other purchase transactions, the underwriters’ purchases to cover the syndicate short sales may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of the Series I senior notes or preventing or slowing a decline in the market price of the Series I senior notes. As a result, the price of the Series I senior notes may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market.

Neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of the Series I senior notes. In addition, neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representation that the representatives will engage in these transactions or that these transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

Other Relationships

The underwriters and their respective affiliates are full service financial institutions and have in the past and may in the future engage in various activities, which may include securities trading, investment banking, commercial banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities or other transactions of a financial nature with us or our affiliates, including the provision of advisory services and the making of loans to us and our affiliates, for which they would receive customary fees. In particular, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., an affiliate of Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, is a co-syndication agent and a lender, Bank of America, N.A., an affiliate of BofA Securities, Inc., is the administrative agent and a lender, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., an affiliate of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, is a co-syndication agent and a lender, and Goldman Sachs Bank USA, an affiliate of Goldman, Sachs & Co., is a documentation agent and a lender under our Credit Facility. Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, an affiliate of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., is a documentation agent and a lender under our Credit Facility (as amended to the date of this prospectus supplement). The Bank of New York Mellon, an affiliate of BNY Capital Markets, LLC, acts as trustee under the Indenture for our senior notes and as a documentation agent and a lender under our Credit Facility. Affiliates of the other underwriters may also act as a documentation agent and/or a lender under our Credit Facility.

In addition, some of the underwriters or their affiliates that have a lending relationship with us routinely hedge, are likely to hedge, or may, in the future, hedge, their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management policies. Typically, these underwriters and their affiliates would hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities, including potentially the additional Series I senior notes offered hereby. Any such credit default swaps or short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the additional Series I senior notes offered hereby.

In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the underwriters and their respective affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments, including serving as counterparties to certain derivative and hedging arrangements, and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers and such investment and securities activities may involve our securities and/or other of our financial instruments. The underwriters and their respective affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

This prospectus is part of a registration statement that we filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission” or “SEC”), using a “shelf” registration process. By using a shelf registration statement, we may sell securities from time to time and in one or more offerings up to a total dollar amount of $2,000,000,000 as described in this prospectus. Each time that we offer and sell securities, we will provide a prospectus supplement to this prospectus that contains specific information about the securities being offered and sold and the specific terms of that offering. We may also authorize one or more free writing prospectuses to be provided to you that may contain material information relating to these offerings. The prospectus supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus with respect to that offering. If there is any inconsistency between the information in this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus, you should rely on the prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus, as applicable. Before purchasing any securities, you should carefully read both this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement (and any applicable free writing prospectuses), together with the additional information described under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information; Incorporation by Reference.”

We have not authorized anyone to provide you with any information or to make any representations other than those contained in this prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement or any free writing prospectuses prepared by or on behalf of us or to which we have referred you.

Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates. This prospectus incorporates by reference, and any prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus may contain and incorporate by reference, market data and industry statistics and forecasts that are based on independent industry publications and other publicly available information. Although we believe these sources are reliable, we do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of this information and we have not independently verified this information.

Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on this information.

Unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, references to “Host Inc.” mean Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. and references to “Host L.P.” mean Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P. and its consolidated subsidiaries in cases where it is important to distinguish between Host Inc. and Host L.P. We use the terms “we,” “our” or “the company” to refer to Host Inc. and Host L.P. together, unless the context indicates otherwise. Host Inc. and Host L.P. file combined periodic reports with the SEC, certain of which are incorporated by reference herein. When we refer to “you,” we mean the potential holders of the applicable series of securities.

The indenture has been filed and is incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part and you should read the indenture for provisions that may be important to you. In the summary below, we have included references to the section numbers of the indenture so that you can easily locate these provisions. Capitalized terms used in the summary and not defined herein have the meanings specified in the indenture.

As used in this section only, “Host L.P.,” “we,” “our” or “us” refer to Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P. and its successors, but excluding our subsidiaries, unless expressly stated or the context otherwise requires.

The terms of each series of debt securities will be established by or pursuant to a resolution of our board of directors and set forth or determined in the manner provided in a resolution of our board of directors, in an officer’s certificate or by a supplemental indenture. (Section 2.2) The particular terms of each series of debt securities will be described in a prospectus supplement relating to such series (including any free writing prospectus, pricing supplement or term sheet).

We can issue an unlimited amount of debt securities under the indenture that may be in one or more series with the same or various maturities, at par, at a premium, or at a discount. (Section 2.1) We will set forth in a prospectus supplement (including any pricing supplement or term sheet) relating to any series of debt securities being offered, the aggregate principal amount and the following terms of the debt securities, if applicable:

• the title and ranking of the debt securities (including the terms of any subordination provisions);

• the price or prices (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount) at which we will sell the debt securities;

8

We may issue debt securities that provide for an amount less than their stated principal amount to be due and payable upon declaration of acceleration of their maturity pursuant to the terms of the indenture. We will provide you with information on the federal income tax considerations and other special considerations applicable to any of these debt securities in the applicable prospectus supplement.

If we denominate the purchase price of any of the debt securities in a foreign currency or currencies or a foreign currency unit or units, or if the principal of and any premium and interest on any series of debt securities is payable in a foreign currency or currencies or a foreign currency unit or units, we will provide you with information on the restrictions, elections, general tax considerations, specific terms and other information with respect to that issue of debt securities and such foreign currency or currencies or foreign currency unit or units in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Transfer and Exchange

Each debt security will be represented by either one or more global securities registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company (the “Depositary”), or a nominee of the Depositary (we will refer to any debt security represented by a global debt security as a “book-entry debt security”), or a certificate issued in definitive registered form (we will refer to any debt security represented by a certificated security as a “certificated debt security”) as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Except as set forth under the heading “Global Debt Securities and Book-Entry System” below, book-entry debt securities will not be issuable in certificated form.

Certificated Debt Securities. You may transfer or exchange certificated debt securities at any office we maintain for this purpose in accordance with the terms of the indenture. (Section 2.4) No service charge will be made for any transfer or exchange of certificated debt securities, but we may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with a transfer or exchange. (Section 2.7)

You may effect the transfer of certificated debt securities and the right to receive the principal of, premium and interest on certificated debt securities only by surrendering the certificate representing those certificated debt securities and either reissuance by us or the trustee of the certificate to the new holder or the issuance by us or the trustee of a new certificate to the new holder.

Global Debt Securities and Book-Entry System

Each global debt security representing book-entry debt securities will be deposited with, or on behalf of, the Depositary, and registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary. Please see “Global Securities.”

Covenants

We will set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement any restrictive covenants applicable to any issue of debt securities. (Article IV)

No Protection in the Event of a Change of Control

Unless we state otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, except as described below with respect to the consolidation, merger and sale of our assets, the debt securities will not contain any provisions which may afford holders of the debt securities protection in the event we have a change in control or in the event of a highly leveraged transaction (whether or not such transaction results in a change in control) which could adversely affect holders of debt securities.

9

Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets

We may not consolidate with or merge with or into another person, or sell, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our properties and assets, in one or more related transactions, to any person (in each case, a “successor person”) unless:

• we are the surviving limited partnership or the successor person (if other than Host L.P.) is an entity organized and validly existing under the laws of any U.S. domestic jurisdiction and expressly assumes our obligations on the debt securities and under the indenture by a supplemental indenture executed and delivered to the trustee; and

• immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no Default or Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing.

Notwithstanding the above, any of our subsidiaries may consolidate with, merge into or transfer all or part of its properties to us. (Section 5.1)

Reports

The indenture provides that whether or not we are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, we shall deliver to the Trustee and to each holder, within 15 days after we are 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 we 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 our certified independent public accountants, 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, we 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. (Section 4.2)

Events of Default

“Event of Default” means with respect to any series of debt securities, any of the following:

• default in the payment of any interest upon any debt security of that series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days (unless the entire amount of the payment is deposited by us with the trustee or with a paying agent prior to the expiration of the 30-day period);

• default in the payment of principal of any debt security of that series at its maturity;

• default in the performance or breach of any other covenant or warranty by us in the indenture (other than a covenant or warranty that has been included in the indenture solely for the benefit of a series of debt securities other than that series), which default continues uncured for a period of 60 days after we receive written notice from the trustee, or Host L.P. and the trustee receive written notice from the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series as provided in the indenture;

• certain voluntary or involuntary events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of Host L.P.;

• any other Event of Default provided with respect to debt securities of that series that is described in the applicable prospectus supplement. (Section 6.1)

No Event of Default with respect to a particular series of debt securities (except as to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization) necessarily constitutes an Event of Default with respect to any other

10

series of debt securities. (Section 6.1) The occurrence of certain Events of Default or an acceleration under the indenture may constitute an event of default under certain indebtedness of ours or our subsidiaries outstanding from time to time.

We will provide the trustee written notice of any Default or Event of Default within 30 days of becoming aware of the occurrence of such Default or Event of Default, which notice will describe in reasonable detail the status of such Default or Event of Default and what action we are taking or propose to take in respect thereof. (Section 6.1)

If an Event of Default with respect to debt securities of any series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing, then the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may, by a notice in writing to us (and to the trustee if given by the holders), declare to be due and payable immediately the principal of (or, if the debt securities of that series are discount securities, that portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all debt securities of that series. In the case of an Event of Default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, the principal (or such specified amount) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding debt securities will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or any holder of outstanding debt securities. At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to debt securities of any series has been made, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the trustee, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may rescind and annul the acceleration and its consequences if all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of accelerated principal and interest, if any, with respect to debt securities of that series, have been cured or waived as provided in the indenture. (Section 6.2) We refer you to the prospectus supplement relating to any series of debt securities that are discount securities for the particular provisions relating to acceleration of a portion of the principal amount of such discount securities upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.

The indenture provides that the trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture unless the trustee receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any cost, liability or expense which might be incurred by it in performing such duty or exercising such right or power. (Section 7.1(e)) Subject to certain rights of the trustee, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series 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 the debt securities of that series. (Section 6.12)

No holder of any debt security of any series will have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any remedy under the indenture, unless:

• that holder has previously given to the trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to debt securities of that series; and

• the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series have made written request, and offered indemnity or security satisfactory to the trustee, to the trustee to institute the proceeding as trustee, and the trustee has not received from the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series a direction inconsistent with that request and has failed to institute the proceeding within 60 days. (Section 6.7)

Notwithstanding any other provision in the indenture, the holder of any debt security will have an absolute and unconditional right to receive payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and any interest on that debt security on or after the due dates expressed in that debt security and to institute suit for the enforcement of payment. (Section 6.8)

11

The indenture requires us, within 120 days after the end of our fiscal year, to furnish to the trustee a statement as to compliance with the indenture. (Section 4.3) If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the securities of any series and if it is known to a responsible officer of the trustee, the trustee shall deliver to each holder of the debt securities of that series notice of a Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs or, if later, after a responsible officer of the trustee has knowledge of such Default or Event of Default. The indenture provides that the trustee may withhold notice to the holders of debt securities of any series of any Default or Event of Default (except in payment on any debt securities of that series) with respect to debt securities of that series if the trustee determines in good faith that withholding notice is in the interest of the holders of those debt securities. (Section 7.5)

Modification and Waiver

We and the trustee may modify, amend or supplement the indenture or the debt securities of any series without the consent of any holder of any debt security:

• to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;

• to comply with covenants in the indenture described above under the heading “Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets”;

• to provide for uncertificated securities in addition to or in place of certificated securities;

• to add guarantees with respect to debt securities of any series or secure debt securities of any series;

• to surrender any of our rights or powers under the indenture;

• to add covenants or events of default for the benefit of the holders of debt securities of any series;

• to comply with the applicable procedures of the applicable depositary;

• to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any holder of debt securities;

• to provide for the issuance of and establish the form and terms and conditions of debt securities of any series as permitted by the indenture;

• to effect the appointment of a successor trustee with respect to the debt securities of any series and to add to or change any of the provisions of the indenture to provide for or facilitate administration by more than one trustee;

• to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act; or

• to conform the text to the description of debt securities or description of notes sections of any prospectus or prospectus supplement with respect to the debt securities of any series. (Section 9.1)

We may also modify and amend the indenture with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series affected by the modifications or amendments. We may not make any amendment or waiver without the consent of the holders of each affected debt security then outstanding if that amendment will:

• reduce the amount of debt securities whose holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

• reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest (including default interest) on any debt security;

• reduce the principal of or premium on or change the fixed maturity of any debt security or reduce the amount of, or postpone the date fixed for, the payment of any sinking fund or analogous obligation with respect to any series of debt securities;

12

• reduce the principal amount of discount securities payable upon acceleration of maturity;

• waive a default or event of default in the payment of the principal of, premium or interest on any debt security (except a rescission of acceleration of the debt securities of any series by the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding debt securities of that series and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

• make the principal of or premium or interest on any debt security payable in currency other than that stated in the debt security;

• make any change to certain provisions of the indenture relating to, among other things, the right of holders of debt securities to receive payment of the principal of, premium and interest on those debt securities, to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment and to waivers or amendments; or

• waive a redemption payment with respect to any debt security. (Section 9.3)

Except for certain specified provisions, the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may on behalf of the holders of all debt securities of that series waive our compliance with provisions of the indenture. (Section 9.2) The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may on behalf of the holders of all the debt securities of such series waive any past default under the indenture with respect to that series and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of, premium or any interest on any debt security of that series not yet cured; provided, however, that the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from the acceleration. (Section 6.13)

Defeasance of Debt Securities and Certain Covenants in Certain Circumstances

Legal Defeasance. The indenture provides that, unless otherwise provided by the terms of the applicable series of debt securities, we may be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of the debt securities of any series (subject to certain exceptions). We will be so discharged upon the deposit with the trustee, in trust, of money and/or U.S. government obligations or, in the case of debt securities denominated in a single currency other than U.S. Dollars, government obligations of the government that issued or caused to be issued such currency, that, through the payment of interest and principal in accordance with their terms, will provide money or U.S. government obligations in an amount sufficient in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants or investment bank to pay and discharge each installment of principal, premium and interest on and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of the debt securities of that series on the stated maturity of those payments in accordance with the terms of the indenture and those debt securities.

This discharge may occur only if, among other things, we have delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel stating that we have received from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling or, since the date of execution of the indenture, there has been a change in the applicable United States federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the holders of the debt securities of that series will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, defeasance and discharge and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred. (Section 8.3)

Defeasance of Certain Covenants. The indenture provides that, unless otherwise provided by the terms of the applicable series of debt securities, upon compliance with certain conditions:

• we may omit to comply with the covenant described under the heading “Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets” and certain other covenants set forth in the indenture, as well as any additional covenants which may be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement; and

13

• any omission to comply with those covenants will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default with respect to the debt securities of that series (“covenant defeasance”).

The conditions include:

• depositing with the trustee money and/or U.S. government obligations or, in the case of debt securities denominated in a single currency other than U.S. Dollars, government obligations of the government that issued or caused to be issued such currency, that, through the payment of interest and principal in accordance with their terms, will provide money in an amount sufficient in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants or investment bank to pay and discharge each installment of principal of, premium and interest on and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of the debt securities of that series on the stated maturity of those payments in accordance with the terms of the indenture and those debt securities; and

• delivering to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that we have received from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling or, since the date of execution of the indenture, there has been a change in the applicable United States federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the holders of the debt securities of that series will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and related covenant defeasance and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the deposit and related covenant defeasance had not occurred. (Section 8.4)

No Personal Liability of Partners, Directors, Officers, Employees or Stockholders

No recourse for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the debt securities or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of Host L.P. in the indenture, or in the debt securities or because of the creation of any debt represented thereby, shall be had against any of our incorporators, partners, stockholders, officers, directors, employees or controlling persons or of any successor person thereof, except as an obligor or guarantor of the debt securities. By accepting a debt security, each holder waives and releases all such liability. This waiver and release is part of the consideration for the issue of the debt securities. However, this waiver and release may not be effective to waive liabilities under U.S. federal securities laws, and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy.

U.S. GAAP for Covenant Calculations

Unless amended by prospectus supplement, “GAAP” shall mean generally accepted accounting principles in the United States as in effect from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of determining compliance with any financial covenant or covenant contained herein or in any board resolution, a supplemental indenture or an officer’s certificate for any series of debt securities requiring calculations that are determined with reference to GAAP, such compliance shall be determined in accordance with GAAP as in effect on the date of the indenture; provided, however, (1) all computations made under the indenture (whether or not such computations specifically reference GAAP) relating to the notional amount of indebtedness or interest expense associated with such indebtedness shall be made without giving effect to any generally accepted accounting principles requiring that such indebtedness be marked to market, and the effects of the Accounting Standards Codification of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB ASC”) 825 and FASB ASC 470-20 on financial liabilities will be disregarded, (2) any generally accepted accounting principles requiring (x) any fair value adjustment that would cause any indebtedness or contracts to be marked to market, including capitalized liabilities based on the fair value of contracts, (y) the recording of convertible debt at fair value and (z) acquisition costs that were capitalized prior to the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board 141-R (subsequent to the codification, this standard is now included in FASB ASC 805) to be expensed as incurred shall, in each case, be disregarded and (3) the determination of a Subsidiary with respect to any person shall be

14

based in accordance with GAAP as in effect from time to time. As a result, the value of amounts used in the calculation of our covenants such as interest expense, the recorded value of debt acquired or assumed, and total assets will be different from amounts presented in our financial statements.

Governing Law

The indenture and the debt securities, including any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to the indenture or the securities, will be governed by the laws of the State of New York. (Section 10.10)

Waiver of Jury Trial

The indenture provides that we, the trustee, the paying agent and the registrar irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to the indenture, the debt securities or the transactions contemplated thereby. (Section 10.18)

Jurisdiction

The indenture provides that we, the trustee, the paying agent and the registrar irrevocably submit to the exclusive general jurisdiction of any New York state court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York or any federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York in respect of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the indenture and the debt securities, and irrevocably accept the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. The indenture will further provide that we, the trustee, the paying agent and the registrar irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection to the laying of the venue of any suit, action or proceeding brought in the courts specified above and irrevocably waive and agree not to plead or claim any such suit, action or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. (Section 10.19)

15

GLOBAL SECURITIES

Book-Entry, Delivery and Form

Unless we indicate differently in any applicable prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus, the securities initially will be issued in book-entry form and represented by one or more global notes or global securities (collectively, the “global securities”). The global securities will be deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York, as depositary (“DTC”), and registered in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of DTC. Unless and until it is exchanged for individual certificates evidencing securities under the limited circumstances described below, a global security may not be transferred except as a whole by the depositary to its nominee or by the nominee to the depositary, or by the depositary or its nominee to a successor depositary or to a nominee of the successor depositary.

DTC has advised us that it is:

• a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law;

• a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law;

• a member of the Federal Reserve System;

• a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; and

• a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Exchange Act.

DTC holds securities that its participants deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement among its participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry changes in participants’ accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. “Direct participants” in DTC include securities brokers and dealers, including underwriters, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and other organizations. DTC is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others, which we sometimes refer to as indirect participants that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a direct participant, either directly or indirectly. The rules applicable to DTC and its participants are on file with the SEC.

Purchases of securities under the DTC system must be made by or through direct participants, which will receive a credit for the securities on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of the actual purchaser of a security, which we sometimes refer to as a beneficial owner, is in turn recorded on the direct and indirect participants’ records. Beneficial owners of securities will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchases. However, beneficial owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of their transactions, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the direct or indirect participants through which they purchased securities. Transfers of ownership interests in global securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of participants acting on behalf of beneficial owners. Beneficial owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the global securities, except under the limited circumstances described below.

To facilitate subsequent transfers, all global securities deposited by direct participants with DTC will be registered in the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other nominee will not change the beneficial ownership of the securities. DTC has no knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the securities. DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the direct participants to whose accounts the securities are credited, which may or may not be the beneficial owners. The participants are responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.

16

So long as the securities are in book-entry form, you will receive payments and may transfer securities only through the facilities of the depositary and its direct and indirect participants. We will maintain an office or agency in the location specified in the prospectus supplement for the applicable securities, where notices and demands in respect of the securities and the indenture may be delivered to us and where certificated securities may be surrendered for payment, registration of transfer or exchange.

Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to direct participants, by direct participants to indirect participants and by direct participants and indirect participants to beneficial owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any legal requirements in effect from time to time.

Redemption notices will be sent to DTC. If less than all of the securities of a particular series are being redeemed, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each direct participant in the securities of such series to be redeemed.

Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (or such other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the securities. Under its usual procedures, DTC will mail an omnibus proxy to us as soon as possible after the record date. The omnibus proxy assigns the consenting or voting rights of Cede & Co. to those direct participants to whose accounts the securities of such series are credited on the record date, identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy.

So long as securities are in book-entry form, we will make payments on those securities to the depositary or its nominee, as the registered owner of such securities, by wire transfer of immediately available funds. If securities are issued in definitive certificated form under the limited circumstances described below and unless otherwise provided in the description of the applicable securities herein or in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will have the option of making payments by check mailed to the addresses of the persons entitled to payment or by wire transfer to bank accounts in the United States designated in writing to the applicable trustee or other designated party at least 15 days before the applicable payment date by the persons entitled to payment, unless a shorter period is satisfactory to the applicable trustee or other designated party.

Redemption proceeds, distributions and dividend payments on the securities will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC’s practice is to credit direct participants’ accounts upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from us on the payment date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC records. Payments by participants to beneficial owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the account of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name.” Those payments will be the responsibility of participants and not of DTC or us, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions and dividend payments to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC, is our responsibility, disbursement of payments to direct participants is the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of payments to the beneficial owners is the responsibility of direct and indirect participants.

Except under the limited circumstances described below, purchasers of securities will not be entitled to have securities registered in their names and will not receive physical delivery of securities. Accordingly, each beneficial owner must rely on the procedures of DTC and its participants to exercise any rights under the securities and the indenture.

The laws of some jurisdictions may require that some purchasers of securities take physical delivery of securities in definitive form. Those laws may impair the ability to transfer or pledge beneficial interests in securities.

DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depositary with respect to the securities at any time by giving reasonable notice to us. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depositary is not obtained, securities certificates are required to be printed and delivered.

17

As noted above, beneficial owners of a particular series of securities generally will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in those securities. However, if:

• DTC notifies us that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a depositary for the global security or securities representing such series of securities or if DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act at a time when it is required to be registered and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days of the notification to us or of our becoming aware of DTC’s ceasing to be so registered, as the case may be;

• we determine, in our sole discretion, not to have such securities represented by one or more global securities; or

• an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to such series of securities,

we will prepare and deliver certificates for such securities in exchange for beneficial interests in the global securities. Any beneficial interest in a global security that is exchangeable under the circumstances described in the preceding sentence will be exchangeable for securities in definitive certificated form registered in the names that the depositary directs. It is expected that these directions will be based upon directions received by the depositary from its participants with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in the global securities.

Euroclear and Clearstream

If so provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, you may hold interests in a global security through Clearstream Banking S.A., which we refer to as “Clearstream,” or Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator of the Euroclear System, which we refer to as “Euroclear,” either directly if you are a participant in Clearstream or Euroclear or indirectly through organizations which are participants in Clearstream or Euroclear. Clearstream and Euroclear will hold interests on behalf of their respective participants through customers’ securities accounts in the names of Clearstream and Euroclear, respectively, on the books of their respective U.S. depositaries, which in turn will hold such interests in customers’ securities accounts in such depositaries’ names on DTC’s books.

Clearstream and Euroclear are securities clearance systems in Europe. Clearstream and Euroclear hold securities for their respective participating organizations and facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between those participants through electronic book-entry changes in their accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates.

Payments, deliveries, transfers, exchanges, notices and other matters relating to beneficial interests in global securities owned through Euroclear or Clearstream must comply with the rules and procedures of those systems. Transactions between participants in Euroclear or Clearstream, on one hand, and other participants in DTC, on the other hand, are also subject to DTC’s rules and procedures.

Investors will be able to make and receive through Euroclear and Clearstream payments, deliveries, transfers and other transactions involving any beneficial interests in global securities held through those systems only on days when those systems are open for business. Those systems may not be open for business on days when banks, brokers and other institutions are open for business in the United States.

Cross-market transfers between participants in DTC, on the one hand, and participants in Euroclear or Clearstream, on the other hand, will be effected through DTC in accordance with the DTC’s rules on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by their respective U.S. depositaries; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by the counterparty in such system in accordance with the rules and procedures and within the established deadlines (European time) of such system. Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to its U.S. depositary to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering or receiving interests in the global securities through DTC, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day fund settlement. Participants in Euroclear or Clearstream may not deliver instructions directly to their respective U.S. depositaries.

18

Due to time zone differences, the securities accounts of a participant in Euroclear or Clearstream purchasing an interest in a global security from a direct participant in DTC will be credited, and any such crediting will be reported to the relevant participant in Euroclear or Clearstream, during the securities settlement processing day (which must be a business day for Euroclear or Clearstream) immediately following the settlement date of DTC. Cash received in Euroclear or Clearstream as a result of sales of interests in a global security by or through a participant in Euroclear or Clearstream to a direct participant in DTC will be received with value on the settlement date of DTC but will be available in the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream cash account only as of the business day for Euroclear or Clearstream following DTC’s settlement date.

Other

The information in this section of this prospectus concerning DTC, Clearstream, Euroclear and their respective book-entry systems has been obtained from sources that we believe to be reliable, but we do not take responsibility for this information. This information has been provided solely as a matter of convenience.

Neither we nor the trustee nor any agent of ours or of the trustee has any control over those entities and none of us takes any responsibility for their activities. You are urged to contact DTC, Clearstream and Euroclear or their respective participants directly to discuss those matters. In addition, although we expect that DTC, Clearstream and Euroclear will perform the foregoing procedures, none of them is under any obligation to perform or continue to perform such procedures and such procedures may be discontinued at any time. Neither we nor any agent of ours will have any responsibility for the performance or nonperformance by DTC, Clearstream and Euroclear or their respective participants of these or any other rules or procedures governing their respective operations.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We may sell the securities from time to time pursuant to underwritten public offerings, negotiated transactions, block trades or a combination of these methods or through underwriters or dealers, through agents and/or directly to one or more purchasers. The securities may be distributed from time to time in one or more transactions:

• at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed;

• at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;

• at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or

• at negotiated prices.

Each time that we sell securities covered by this prospectus, we will provide a prospectus supplement or supplements that will describe the method of distribution and set forth the terms and conditions of the offering of such securities, including the offering price of the securities and the proceeds to us, if applicable.

Offers to purchase the securities being offered by this prospectus may be solicited directly. Agents may also be designated to solicit offers to purchase the securities from time to time. Any agent involved in the offer or sale of our securities will be identified in a prospectus supplement.

If a dealer is utilized in the sale of the securities being offered by this prospectus, the securities will be sold to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale.

If an underwriter is utilized in the sale of the securities being offered by this prospectus, an underwriting agreement will be executed with the underwriter at the time of sale and the name of any underwriter will be provided in the prospectus supplement that the underwriter will use to make resales of the securities to the public. In connection with the sale of the securities, we or the purchasers of securities for whom the underwriter may act as agent, may compensate the underwriter in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions. The underwriter may sell the securities to or through dealers, and those dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for which they may act as agent. Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, an agent will be acting on a best efforts basis and a dealer will purchase securities as a principal, and may then resell the securities at varying prices to be determined by the dealer.

Any compensation paid to underwriters, dealers or agents in connection with the offering of the securities, and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed by underwriters to participating dealers will be provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. Underwriters, dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any discounts and commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions. We may enter into agreements to indemnify underwriters, dealers and agents against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments they may be required to make in respect thereof and to reimburse those persons for certain expenses.

Any securities may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange. To facilitate the offering of securities, certain persons participating in the offering may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the securities. This may include over-allotments or short sales of the securities, which involve the sale by persons participating in the offering of more securities than were sold to them. In these circumstances, these persons would cover such over-allotments or short positions by making purchases in the open market or by exercising their over-allotment option, if any. In addition, these persons may stabilize or maintain the price of the securities by bidding for or purchasing securities in the open market or by imposing

20

penalty bids, whereby selling concessions allowed to dealers participating in the offering may be reclaimed if securities sold by them are repurchased in connection with stabilization transactions. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. These transactions may be discontinued at any time.

We may engage in at the market offerings into an existing trading market in accordance with Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act. In addition, we may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement so indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by us or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and, if not identified in this prospectus, will be named in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment). In addition, we may otherwise loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities short using this prospectus and an applicable prospectus supplement. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.

The specific terms of any lock-up provisions in respect of any given offering will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

The underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with us, or perform services for us, in the ordinary course of business for which they receive compensation.
