The Offering Notice shall be accompanied by a copy of the First Offer (as defined herein) or a true, correct and complete copy of the Third Party Offer (as defined herein).

If the Person making the Third Party Offer is a corporation, limited liability company partnership, or other entity, all shareholders, members or partners owning more than ten percent (10%) of its stock, membership interests partnership interests or other equity interests shall be identified. SECTION 8.4 CREATION OF LIEN AND SECURITY INTEREST.A Partner or an Assignee ----------- --------------------------------------- may, without complying with the provisions of Sections 8.2(b), (c) or (d) or Section 8.3, grant a security interest (within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the jurisdiction in which such Partner's chief place of business is located) with respect to all or a part of the Partner's Partnership Interest or the Assignee's Economic Rights to an Institutional Lender as security for a debt. Any such grant of a security interest shall, by its terms, be subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including specifically, those of Section 8.3, and the Institutional Lender shall in any such instrument acknowledge the terms hereof.

If an Event of Default occurs, the Nondefaulting Partner shall have the remedies set forth in Section 10.2. SECTION 10.2 REMEDIES UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. ------------ --------------------------------------------------- (a) PERCENTAGE INTEREST ADJUSTMENT. If an Event of Default defined in Section 10.1(a)(i) occurs, any Nondefaulting Partner shall have the option, but without imposing on it the obligation, to contribute that portion of the Additional Capital Contribution which the Defaulting Partner was obligated, but failed, to contribute (and if more than one Nondefaulting Partner exercises such option, or any other right or option under this Article 10, such option or right shall be exercised by each Nondefaulting Partner, pro rata, in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests, or in such other manner as they may determine, and the term "Nondefaulting Partner" as used in this Article 10 shall mean the aggregate of such Nondefaulting Partners who exercise such right or option). The option shall be exercised by giving written notice to the Defaulting Partner within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of the Event of Default. If any portion of the Defaulting Partner's share of such Additional Capital Contribution is not so contributed by the Nondefaulting Partner, the Nondefaulting Partner shall have the authority to admit one or more new Persons as limited partners (subject to the provisions of Section 8.2(a) through Section 8.2(c), who shall purchase a Partnership Interest determined in accordance with Sections 10.2(a)(i) and 10.2(a)(iii) below by making a Capital Contribution to the Company in immediately available funds. If the Nondefaulting Partner(s) and/or the new Partner contribute the Defaulting Partner's share of such Capital Contribution (as well as the Nondefaulting Partner's own share), the Percentage Interest of the Defaulting Partner and the Nondefaulting Partner shall be adjusted as follows: (i) In the case of an Event of Default as described in Section 10.1(a)(i) (a default by a Partner in paying the Partner's proportionate share of an Additional Capital Contribution), the Percentage Interest of the Defaulting Partner shall be reduced to a percentage equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the Defaulting Partner's Unreturned Capital Contributions as of the date on 35 which the Event of Default occurs and the denominator of which is the sum of the aggregate of all Unreturned Capital Contributions of all Partners as of such date; (ii) The Percentage Interest of each of the Nondefaulting Partners who contribute all or a portion of the Defaulting Partner's share, or of a new partner who contributes all or a portion of such share, shall be increased or established, as the case may be, by multiplying the reduction in the Defaulting Partner's Percentage Interest by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of the Defaulting Partner's share which the Nondefaulting Partner or the new Partner contributed and the denominator of which is the amount of such share contributed by all of the Nondefaulting Partner(s) and the new partner; (iii) A Partner who is a Defaulting Partner shall continue to be obligated to make Additional Capital Contributions pursuant to Section 4.3. (b) COMPELLED LIQUIDATION. If any Event of Default occurs, the Nondefaulting Partner shall have the option, but not the obligation, at any time during the sixty (60) day period after the Event of Default occurs, to compel the General Partner to cause the Subsidiaries to sell all the Properties then owned by the Subsidiaries in the manner set forth in Article 12, without the need of satisfying the conditions set forth in Section 12.8 hereof, it being expressly agreed to that such conditions shall not apply in the case of a sale upon an Event of Default. (c) PURCHASE OPTION. If any Event of Default occurs (other than those set forth in Section 10.1(f), (g), (h), (i), or (j)), the Nondefaulting Partner shall have the absolute right and option to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Defaulting Partner's Partnership Interest for a price equal to 85% of the sum of the Defaulting Partner's Unreturned Capital Contributions as of the last day of the calendar month immediately preceding the exercise of such option. The option may be exercised by the Nondefaulting Partner at any time during the sixty (60) day period after the date on which the Event of Default occurs (unless the default is cured before the exercise of the option) by written notice to the Defaulting Partner. The Defaulting Partner's right to cure the default shall terminate on the date the Nondefaulting Partner gives notice of exercise of the option. The closing of the purchase and sale shall be held within 30 days after the date on which the option is exercised at the Company's principal office, time being of the essence. The terms of payment shall be as follows: An amount equal to 10% of the purchase price shall be paid by the Nondefaulting Partner to the Defaulting Partner at the closing and the balance of the purchase price shall be evidenced by a promissory note issued by the Nondefaulting Partner to the Defaulting Partners payable on the third anniversary of the date of closing, with interest, payable annually, on the unpaid principal balance at the applicable Federal rate (as defined in Section 1274(d) of the Code) in effect on the date of the notice of exercise of the option. At the closing, the Defaulting Partner shall execute and deliver such instruments of assignment of the Defaulting Partner's Partnership Interest as the Nondefaulting Partner shall reasonably request. 36 ARTICLE 11 BUY-SELL SECTION 11.1 INITIATION OF PROCEDURE. (a) At any time on or after the ------------ ------------------------ third anniversary of the Effective Date, any Partner (the "Buy/Sell Initiating Partner") may, by written notice to the other Partner (the "Recipient Partner"), initiate a buy-sell offer by designating its determination of the fair market value for each Partner's Partnership Interest (the "Designated Price") and other terms at which the Buy/Sell Initiating Partner is willing either to buy the Partnership Interest of the Recipient Partner in the Company or to sell its own Partnership Interest to the Recipient Partner ("Offer"). If the Recipient Partner disagrees with such fair market value, and the allocable share of such fair market value (based upon the Recipient Partner's Percentage Interest) is less than such Recipient Partner's Unreturned Capital Contributions, then the "fair market value" shall be determined in accordance with the procedure specified in Section 11.1(b)) below. For purposes of this Section 11.1, the Partnership Interest of the Buy/Sell Initiating Partner and the Recipient Partner shall include any Permitted Transferee(s) of the Buy/Sell Initiating Partner or the Recipient Partner, as the case may be. The Offer shall be accompanied by evidence of a cash deposit into the escrow account of counsel to the Buy/Sell Initiating Partner in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the price to be paid to the Recipient Partner and a comprehensive purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") containing all terms, conditions, covenants, representations, warranties and other agreements, except such terms shall provide for the entire purchase price to be paid in immediately available funds at closing. The Buy/Sell Initiating Partner shall purchase the Partnership Interest of the Recipient Partner and its Permitted Transferees subject to all Company liabilities which shall specifically be assumed by the Buy/Sell Initiating Partner. The Buy/Sell Initiating Partner shall indemnify the Recipient Partner and its Permitted Transferees as to said liabilities. In addition, as a condition to any Partner becoming a Buy/Sell Initiating Partner, such Partner and the Company shall arrange for the specific release of the Recipient Partner and/or any Affiliates of the Recipient Partner from the primary liability (as opposed to continuing liabilities, such as environmental liabilities, which cannot be released) to any Institutional Lenders having outstanding loans to the Company (including the cancellation and return of all guarantees, letters of credit, and other security or assurances posted or made by the Recipient Partner or any Affiliates of the Recipient Partner). (b) In the event of a disagreement as to fair market value, fair market value shall be determined by appraisal in the following manner: (i) all appraisers shall be members of the Appraisal Institute or any organization successor thereto; (ii) the Buy/Sell Initiating Partner shall promptly appoint an appraiser and give notice of the appointment to the Recipient Partner; (iii) within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Buy/Sell Initiating Partner's notice, the Recipient Partner shall appoint a second appraiser, and give notice of the appointment to the Buy/Sell Initiating Partner; (iv) each appraiser shall make an independent written appraisal, and (v) if the Recipient Partner fails to appoint a second appraiser within (15) days after receipt of the Buy/Sell Initiating Partner's notice of the appointment of the first appraiser, the first appraiser shall proceed to make his/her appraisal of each Partners' Partnership Interests and the fair market value of each Partners' Partnership Interests shall be the amount determined by the first appraiser. If the two (2) appraisers so appointed agree on the fair market value of each Partners' Partnership Interests, the fair market value of each Partner's Partnership Interests shall be the amount determined by them. If the two (2) appraisers so appointed do not agree on the 37 fair market value and the difference between the two appraisals is not more than ten percent (10%) of the lower of the two (2) appraisals, the fair market value of each Partner's Partnership Interests shall be an amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the sum of the fair market values determined by each appraiser, by two (2). If the two (2) appraisers so appointed do not agree on the fair market value of each Partner's Partnership Interests, and the difference between the two appraisals is more than ten percent (10%) of the lower of the two appraisals, the two appraisers shall jointly appoint a third appraiser. If the appraisers so appointed shall be unable, within forty-five (45) days after the appointment of the second appraiser, either to agree on the fair market value of each Partner's Partnership Interests (or to disagree on such value with a difference of ten (10%) percent or less), or to agree on the appointment of a third appraiser, they shall give written notice of such failure to agree to the Buy/Sell Initiating Partner and the Recipient Partner, and, if such Partners fail to agree upon the selection of a third appraiser within fifteen (15) days after the appraisers appointed by the Partners give such notice, then within twenty (20) days thereafter either Partner upon written notice to the other Partner may request such appointment by the then President of the Appraisal Institute (or any organization successor thereto), or in his/her failure to act, may apply for such appointment to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. If a third appraiser is appointed, he/she shall make his/her determination within thirty (30) days after his/her appointment and the fair market value of each Partner's Partnership Interests shall be the fair market value of each Partner's Partnership Interests determined by whichever of the first two appraisers is (in the opinion of the third appraiser) closest in amount to the fair market value of each Partner's Partnership Interests as determined by the third appraiser. The third appraiser shall not make an independent appraisal of each Partner's Partnership Interests, but the third appraiser's function shall be solely to determine which of the appraisals made by the first two appraisers most closely represents such fair market value. Each appraiser appointed pursuant to this Section shall be a disinterested person of recognized competence who has had a minimum of ten (10) years experience in appraising commercial real estate in the states in which the Company's properties are located. Each appraiser shall determine the fair market value of each Partner's Partnership Interests, on the basis of all relevant factors affecting fair market value. The party appointing each appraiser shall be obligated, promptly after receipt of the valuation report prepared by the appraiser appointed by such party, to deliver a copy of such valuation report to the other party in the manner provided elsewhere in this Agreement for the giving of notices. If a third appraiser is appointed, the third appraiser shall be directed, at the time of his or her appointment, to deliver copies of his or her valuation report, promptly after its completion, to all parties in the manner provided elsewhere in this Agreement for the giving of notices. The cost and expense of the appraisers and the appraisal process hereunder shall be borne equally by the Buy / Sell Initiating Partner and the Recipient Partner, provided, however, that if the fair market value determined pursuant to this Section 11.1(b) does not exceed the Designated Price originally offered by the Buy / Sell Initiating Partner under Section 11.1(a) hereof by more than 10% of such Designated Price, all costs and expenses of the appraisers and the appraisal process hereunder shall be borne entirely by the Recipient Partner. SECTION 11.2 RESPONSE. ------------ -------- (a) Within forty-five (45) days after receipt of written notice of the Offer (the "Response Period"), the Recipient Partner shall reply to the Buy/Sell Initiating Partner by giving 38 written notice as to whether such Recipient Partner desires to buy or sell in accordance with the Offer. The decision of the Recipient Partner shall bind all Permitted Transferees of such Recipient Partner. In the event the Recipient Partner elects to purchase the Partnership Interest of the Buy/Sell Initiating Partner, the election of the Recipient Partner to do so shall be accompanied by evidence of a cash deposit into the escrow account of counsel to the Recipient Partner in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the purchase price to be paid to the Buy/Sell Initiating Partner and the deposit of the Buy/Sell Initiating Partner shall be released. (b) If a responsive notice is not given by a Recipient Partner to an Offer before expiration of the Response Period, then such non-responding Recipient Partner shall be deemed to have elected to sell its Partnership Interest (and the Partnership Interest of its Permitted Transferees) to the Buy/Sell Initiating Partner at such price and upon such terms as set forth in the Offer. SECTION 11.3 CLOSING. The closing of a purchase and sale pursuant to this ------------ -------- Article 11 shall occur at the end of ninety (90) days after the earlier of the receipt of notice pursuant to Section 11.2(a) or the expiration of the Response Period or, in the event of an appraisal proceeding pursuant to Section 11.1 (b) hereof, at the end of the ninety (90) days after the determination of fair market value thereunder. If any Partner fails to timely close, the other Partner shall have the option of either: (a) canceling the buy-sell contract in which event (A) all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including this Section 11.1 shall remain in full force and effect, and (B) the Nondefaulting Partner shall be entitled to retain the deposit made by the defaulting Partner; (b) purchasing the entire Partnership Interest of the other Partner in accordance with the terms of the Offer, in the case where the other Partner defaulted on its obligation to buy, or selling to the other Partner in accordance with the terms of the Offer, in the case where the other Partner defaulted on its obligation to sell; or (c) seeking specific performance of the other Partner's obligation, without waiver of damages as a result thereof. ARTICLE 12 SALE OF PROPERTY SECTION 12.1 PARTNER'S RIGHT TO MAKE PROPOSED OFFER OR TO OBTAIN THIRD PARTY ------------ --------------------------------------------------------------- OFFERIf a Partner (the "Compelled Sale Initiating Partner") desires that the ----- Company cause the applicable Subsidiary to sell a Property (a "Compelled Asset Sale"), the Compelled Sale Initiating Partner shall have the right, except as otherwise provided in Section 12.4 and subject to any restrictions on sale imposed on the Company and the applicable Subsidiary by the terms of any Mortgage encumbering such Property, to deliver to the Company and the non-Compelled Sale Initiating Partner (the "Compelled Sale Responding Partner") either: (a) a proposed offer (the "Proposed Offer") containing (i) the minimum purchase price (the "Minimum Price") for the Property (grossed up to include the unpaid 39 principal balance of all Mortgages encumbering the Property, and the unpaid principal balance of all other indebtedness of the Company and the applicable Subsidiary for borrowed money attributable to such Property) which the Compelled Sale Initiating Partner would be willing to cause the Company and applicable Subsidiary to accept in connection with a sale of the Property to an unrelated third party for cash (within the meaning of Section 12.6), either free and clear of, or subject to, Mortgages and easements, covenants, conditions and other matters affecting title and all leases with tenants and (ii) any and all other terms and conditions of such proposed Transfer (the "Terms"); or (b) a Third Party Offer (as defined in Section 12.5) of a Purchaser (as defined in Section 12.5) providing for the purchase of the Property for cash (within the meaning of Section 12.6), either free and clear of, or subject to, Mortgages and easements, covenants, conditions and other matters affecting title and all leases with tenants.

SECTION 12.2 RESPONDING PARTNER'S OPTION TO PURCHASE. For a period of ------------ ---------------------------------------- forty-five (45) days after receipt of the Proposed Offer or the Third Party Offer, as the case may be, the Compelled Sale Responding Partner shall have the option to purchase the particular Property (i) for an amount equal to the Minimum Price and on the Terms in the case of a Proposed Offer or (ii) in accordance with the terms of the Third Party Offer in the case of a Third Party Offer.

If the Compelled Sale Responding Partner exercises the option, the closing of the purchase of the Property shall be in accordance with the Terms or the Third Party Offer, as applicable. SECTION 12.3 SALE OF PROPERTY. ------------ ---------------- (a) If the Compelled Sale Responding Partner does not exercise the option to purchase the Property within forty-five (45) days after receipt of the Proposed Offer or the Third Party Offer, as the case may be, or if the Compelled Sale Responding Partner timely exercises the option but the Purchaser thereafter defaults in consummating the purchase of the Property, the Compelled Sale Initiating Partner shall have the right at any time within the nine (9) month period beginning on the date of expiration of the option (or the date of the Purchaser's default, if applicable), without the necessity of obtaining the consent or approval of the Compelled Sale Responding Partner (or any other Partner) or compliance with the 3 year condition set forth in section 12.8, to cause the applicable Subsidiary to sell the Property for a purchase price payable in cash (within the meaning of Section 12.6) equal to or greater than the Minimum Price or the purchase price of the Property payable under the Third Party Offer, as the case may be (or, if the Compelled Sale Responding Partner exercises the option but the Purchaser thereafter defaults in purchasing the Property, for a purchase price payable in cash equal to or greater than ninety percent (90%) of the Minimum Price or ninety percent (90%) of the purchase price of the Property payable under the Third Party Offer, as the case may be).

(a) If delivery to or ownership of OP Partnership Units by a holder of Limited Partner Units (regardless of whether or not such holder of Limited Partner Units has, in fact, exercised its Exchange Rights, and taking into account deemed ownership determined after applying the provisions of Section 318 of the Code as modified by the provisions of Section 856(d)(5) of the Code), would result in: (i) such holder of Limited Partner Units or any other person owning or being deemed to own, directly or indirectly (determined after applying the provisions of Section 318 of the Code, as modified, by the provisions of Section 856(d)(5) of the Code), units representing an interest in 25% or more of the capital, profits or net assets of HLP, and (ii) (A) cause HT to own or be deemed to own, directly or indirectly (determined after applying the provisions of Section 318 of the Code, as modified, by the provisions of Section 856(d)(5) of the Code), 10% or more of the ownership interests in a tenant of HT, HLP, or any other entity in which either HT or HLP has an equity interest, excluding, for this purpose, an entity which qualifies as a taxable REIT subsidiary of HT (within the meaning of Section 856(l) of the Code) ( a "TRS"), or (B) (1) cause persons owning, or being deemed to own, directly or indirectly (determined after applying the provisions of Section 318 of the Code, as modified, by the provisions of Section 856(d)(5) of the Code), 35% or more of the voting stock or value of the shares of HT to be deemed to own, directly or indirectly (determined after applying the provisions of Section 318 of the Code, as modified, by the provisions of Section 856(d)(5) of the Code), 35% or more of (x) the voting stock or total number of shares of a corporate independent contractor providing services to a tenant of HT, HLP, or any other entity in which either HT or 43 HLP has an equity interest or (y) the net assets or profits of a non-corporate independent contractor providing services to a tenant of HT, HLP, or any other entity in which either HT or HLP has an equity interest, each within the meaning of Section 856(d)(3) of the Code (an "Independent Contractor"), or (2) cause an Independent Contractor to own or be deemed to own, directly or indirectly (determined after applying the provisions of Section 318 of the Code, as modified, by the provisions of Section 856(d)(5) of the Code), 35% or more of the voting stock or value of the shares of HT, then the Exchange Right shall be exercisable, at the sole discretion of such holder of Limited Partner Units, into a right to receive or acquire, as applicable, in lieu of that number of OP Partnership Units to the extent necessary to prevent the situation described in (i) and (ii) above, either, (x) Class A Common Shares, as described in Section 13.1(a), or (y) a note issued by the Company (and secured by a priority lien on all of the Company's assets, to the extent not prohibited by any agreement to which the Company is a party or by which the Properties are bound, and if not permitted, then a lien on all of the Company's assets, subordinate only to such liens as then exist on the Company's assets that do not permit a priority lien) in redemption of such holder's tendered Limited Partner Units with a principal amount equal to the amount such holder of Limited Partner units would receive in the event the Company were to sell all its assets and, after paying all of its debts and liabilities as required pursuant to the terms hereof (the "Redemption Amount"), distributed the net proceeds of such sale to the Partners pursuant to the provisions of Section 12.3(b) hereof, payable in accordance with Section 13.3 hereof, and shall accrue interest at a rate of 10.5% per annum, or (z) all of the General Partner's Partnership Interest, for a note payable to the General Partner by the Limited Partner with a principal amount equal to the amount the General Partner would receive with respect to such transferred interest in the event the Company were to sell all of its assets and, after paying all of its debts and liabilities as required pursuant to the terms thereof and distributed the net proceeds of such sale to the Partners pursuant to the provisions of Section 12.3(b) hereof, payable in accordance with Section 13.3 hereof, and shall accrue interest at a rate of 10.5% per annum (the consideration described in (y) and (z) above, hereinafter referred to as the "Redemption Consideration"). The Exchange Rights will terminate upon exercise of the Limited Partner of its rights under this paragraph. (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.0(a) above, if delivery to or ownership of Class A Common Shares by such holder of Limited Partner Units (whether or not such holder of Limited Partner Units has, in fact, exercised its Exchange Rights, and taking into 44 account deemed ownership determined after applying the provisions of Section 318 of the Code as modified by the provisions of Section 856(d)(5) of the Code), would result in such holder of Limited Partner Units or any other person owning or being deemed to own, directly or indirectly (determined after applying the provisions of Section 318 of the Code as modified by the provisions of Section 856(d)(5) of the Code) shares of HT in excess of: (i) the "Excepted Holder Limit" (as set forth in that certain Excepted Holder Agreement by and between CNL Hospitality Partners, L.P. and HT, dated as of April 21, 2003); or (ii) the "Ownership Limit" (as set forth in the Declaration of Trust of HT, as amended, and calculated in accordance therewith, except as otherwise provided in the Declaration of Trust of HT, as amended, but without regard to the Excepted Holder Agreement), which ownership would cause (A) HT to satisfy the provisions of paragraph (a)(ii)(A) above of this Section 13.0, or (B) one or more persons to satisfy the provisions of paragraph (a)(ii)(B) above of this Section 13.0, then the Exchange Right shall, subject to the provisions of the next sentence, be exercisable, at the sole discretion of such holder of Limited Partner Units, in lieu of that number of Class A Common Shares necessary to prevent the situation described in (i) and (ii) above solely into the right to receive the Redemption Consideration. If the Limited Partner exercises its Exchange Rights pursuant to Sections 13.1(a) or 13.1(b) hereof and the amount of Limited Partner Units that cannot be exchanged for Class A Shares and/or OP Units pursuant to Sections 13.0(a) and 13.0(b) hereof, as applicable, represents a Partnership Interest of less than 5%, then with respect to such Partnership Units, the Limited Partner may only elect that Redemption Consideration set forth in Section 13.0 (a)(y) and not that Redemption Consideration set forth in 13.0(a)(z). (c) Redemption Consideration described herein shall be delivered in the manner set forth in Sections 13.2, 13.3 and 13.4 hereof. SECTION 13.1. MECHANICS. ------------------------- (a) Exchange into Class A Common Shares. ----------------------------------- (i) Subject to and in compliance with the provisions of this Section, the holder of Limited Partner Units may, at the option of such holder, exchange at any time all but not less than all (except as set forth in Section 13.0 or unless the General Partner consents to "less than all") of such holder's Limited Partner Units into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class A Common Shares. The number of shares of Class A Common Shares to which a holder of Limited Partner Units shall be entitled to receive upon exchange shall be the number obtained by dividing the (x) Exchange Amount (calculated in accordance with Section 13.1(c) below), by (y) the Share Exchange Price (as defined in Section 13.1(a)(ii) below). (ii) The price at which Limited Partner Units will be exchanged for Class A Common Shares shall be equal to $6.7555 (as adjusted as hereinafter provided, the "Share Exchange Price"). All references to the Share Exchange Price herein shall mean the Share Exchange Price as so adjusted. 45 (b) Exchange into OP Partnership Units. ---------------------------------- (i) Subject to and in compliance with the provisions of this Section, the holder of Limited Partner Units may, at the option of such holder, exchange at any time all but not less than all (unless the General Partner consents to "less than all") of such holder's Limited Partner Units into OP Partnership Units. The number of OP Partnership Units which a holder of Limited Partner Units shall be entitled to receive upon exchange shall be the number obtained by dividing the (x) Exchange Amount (calculated in accordance with Section 13.1(c) below), by (y) the OP Partnership Unit Exchange Price (as defined in Section 13.1(b)(ii) below). (ii) The price at which OP Partnership Units will be exchanged for Limited Partner Units shall be equal to $6.7555 (as adjusted as hereinafter provided, the "OP Partnership Unit Exchange Price"). All references to the OP Partnership Unit Exchange Price herein shall mean the OP Partnership Unit Exchange Price as so adjusted. (c) The Exchange Amount for Limited Partner Units to be exchanged pursuant to this Article 13 shall be equal to all Capital Contributions made with respect to such Limited Partner Units, less the Allocable Return of Capital (as defined hereinafter) with respect to such Limited Partner Units. For the purposes of this Article 13, the "Allocable Return of Capital" shall mean the sum of all prior distributions of Capital Proceeds pursuant to Section 12.3(b)(i) hereof with respect to such Limited Partner Units and all liquidating distributions pursuant to Section 15.3(c) hereof with respect to such Limited Partner Units, in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Property Acquisition Contributions made with respect to such Limited Partner Units relating to Properties that have been sold prior to the date of such exchange. (d) The Exchange Rights in this Section 13.1 shall be exercised by the holder of Limited Partner Units by giving written notice that such holder elects to exchange all of its Limited Partner Units into Class A Common Shares or OP Partnership Units, and by delivery of an executed form of assignment in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the General Partner, for such Limited Partner Units to be so exchanged to HT at its principal office (or such other office or agency of HT as HT may designate by notice in writing to the holder or holders of the Limited Partner Units) at any time during its usual business hours on the date set forth in such notice, together with a statement of the name or names (with addresses), subject to compliance with applicable laws, Article VII of that certain Declaration of Trust of HT, as amended, and HLP's Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, as the case may be, to the extent such designation shall involve a transfer, in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Class A Common Shares or OP Partnership Units shall be issued. Promptly after the receipt by HT of the written notice referred to in this Section 13.1(d) and surrender of the certificate or certificates for the Limited Partner Units to be converted, HT shall cause to be issued and delivered, to the holder, within five (5) Business Days, registered in such name or names as such holder may direct, subject to compliance with applicable laws and Article VII of that certain Declaration of Trust of HT, as amended, and HLP's Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, as the case may be, to the extent such designation shall involve a transfer, a certificate or certificates for the number of whole shares or units of Class A Common Shares or OP Partnership Units, issuable upon the exchange of such Limited Partner Units. To the extent permitted by law, such exchange shall be deemed to have been effected as of the close of business on the date on which such written notice shall have been received by HT 46 and at such time the rights of the holder of such Limited Partner Units shall cease, and the person or persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for Class A Common Shares or OP Partnership Units shall be issuable upon such exchange shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the shares or units represented thereby. (b) If HT or HLP, as the case shall be, shall, at any time or from time to time after April 21, 2003, effect a subdivision of the outstanding Class A Common Shares or OP Partnership Units without the Company effecting a corresponding subdivision of the Limited Partner Units, the Share Exchange Price or OP Partnership Unit Exchange Price, as applicable, in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased. Conversely, if HT or HLP, as the case shall be, shall, at any time or from time to time after April 21, 2003, combine the outstanding Class A Common Shares or OP Partnership Units into a smaller number of shares or units, without the Company effecting a corresponding combination of the Limited Partner Units, the Share Exchange Price or OP Partnership Unit Exchange Price, as applicable, in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this Section 13.1(e) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective. (c) If, at any time or from time to time after April 21, 2003, the Class A Common Shares or OP Partnership Units issuable upon the exchange of the Limited Partner Units are changed into the same or a different number of shares or units of any class or classes of shares or units, as the case may be, whether by recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or units or share dividend or distribution or a reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale of assets provided for elsewhere in this Article 13), each holder of Limited Partner Units shall have the right thereafter to exchange such units into the kind and amount of shares or units and other securities and property receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification or other change by holders of the maximum number of Class A Common Shares or OP Partnership Units into which such Limited Partner Units could have been exchanged immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein or with respect to such other securities or property by the terms thereof. (d) If, at any time or from time to time after April 21, 2003 there is a capital reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of HT or HLP, affecting the Class A Common Shares or OP Partnership Units (other than a recapitalization, subdivision, combination, reclassification, exchange or substitution of shares or units provided for elsewhere in this Article 13), as a part of such capital reorganization, provision shall be made so that the holders of the Limited Partner Units shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exchange of the Limited Partner Units the number of shares of stock, units or other securities or property to which a holder of the number of Class A Common Shares or OP Partnership Units deliverable upon exchange would have been entitled on such transaction, subject to further adjustment as provided herein or with respect to such other shares, units or other securities by the terms thereof. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Article 13 with respect to the rights of the holders of Limited Partner Units after such transaction such that the provisions of this Section 13.1(g) (including adjustment of the Share Exchange Price or OP Partnership Unit Exchange Price, as the case may be, then in effect and the number of shares or units issuable upon exchange of the 47 Limited Partner Units) shall be applicable after that event and be as nearly equivalent as practicable. (e) (i) If, at any time or from time to time after April 21, 2003, HT issues or sells, or is "deemed" by the express provisions of this Section 13.1(h)(i) to have issued or sold, Additional HT Common Shares (as defined in Section 13.1(h)(iv) below), other than (A) as a dividend or other distribution on any class of shares, (B) pursuant to a subdivision or combination of HT Common Shares as provided in Section 13.1(f) above, (C) pursuant to any employee benefit plan approved by HT's Board of Trustees which plan shall issue, in the aggregate, no more than 650,000 HT Common Shares (D) pursuant to a plan providing for the issuance of additional HT Common Shares upon reinvestment of dividends and additional optional amounts under such plan where the dividends are reinvested at an amount per share of HT Common Share issued thereunder that is equal to or greater than 95% of the fair market value of such HT Common Share or (E) upon exchange of partnership interests in HLP pursuant to and in accordance with Section 8.05 of the HLP Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, for an Effective Price (as defined in Section 13.1(h)(iv) below) less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the then effective Share Exchange Price, then and in each such case, the then existing Share Exchange Price shall be reduced, as of the opening of business on the date of such issue or sale, to a price determined by multiplying the Share Exchange Price by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be (A) the number of HT Common Shares deemed outstanding (as defined in the next sentence) immediately prior to such issue or sale, plus (B) the number of HT Common Shares which the aggregate consideration received (as defined in Section 13.1(h)(ii)) by HT for the total number of Additional HT Common Shares so issued would purchase at such Share Exchange Price, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of HT Common Shares deemed outstanding (as defined below) immediately prior to such issue or sale plus the total number of Additional HT Common Shares actually issued. As used herein, the number of HT Common Shares "deemed" to be outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of (A) the number of HT Common Shares actually outstanding, (B) the number of HT Common Shares into which the then outstanding Limited Partner Units could be exchanged on the day immediately preceding the given date, and (C) the number of HT Common Shares which could be obtained through the exercise or conversion of all other rights, options and convertible securities outstanding on the day immediately preceding the given date as set forth in Section 13.1(h)(ii) below. (ii) For the purpose of making any adjustment required under this Article 13, the consideration received by HT for any issue or sale of securities shall (A) to the extent it consists of cash, be computed at the net amount of cash received by HT after deduction of any underwriting or similar discount commission, compensation or concessions paid or allowed by HT in connection with such issue or sale but without deduction of any expenses payable by HT, (B) to the extent it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair value of that property as determined in good faith by HT's Board of Trustees, and (C) if Additional HT Common Shares, Convertible Securities (as defined in Section 13.1(h)(iii)) or rights or options to purchase either Additional HT Common Shares or Convertible Securities are issued or sold together with other stock or securities or other assets of HT for a consideration which covers both, be computed as the portion of the consideration so received that may be reasonably 48 determined in good faith by HT's Board of Trustees to be allocable to such Additional HT Common Shares, Convertible Securities or rights or options. (iii) For the purpose of the adjustment required under this Section 13.1(h), if HT issues or sells (i) stock or other securities convertible into Additional HT Common Shares (such convertible stock or securities being herein referred to as "Convertible Securities") or (ii) rights or options for the purchase of Additional HT Common Shares or Convertible Securities, and if the Effective Price of such Additional HT Common Shares is less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the then effective Share Exchange Price, then in each such case, HT shall be deemed to have issued at the time of the issuance of such rights or options or Convertible Securities the maximum number of Additional HT Common Shares issuable upon exercise or conversion thereof and to have received as consideration for the issuance of such shares an amount equal to the total amount of the consideration, if any, received by HT for the issuance of such rights or options or Convertible Securities, plus, in the case of such rights or options, the minimum amounts of consideration, if any, payable to HT upon the exercise of such rights or options, plus, in the case of Convertible Securities, the minimum amount of consideration, if any, payable to HT (other than by cancellation of liabilities or obligations evidenced by such Convertible Securities) upon the conversion thereof; provided that if in the case of Convertible Securities the minimum amount of such consideration cannot be ascertained, but is a function of antidilution or similar protective clauses, HT shall be deemed to have received the minimum amounts of consideration without reference to such clauses; provided further that if the minimum amount of consideration payable to HT upon the exercise or conversion of rights, options or Convertible Securities is reduced over time or on the occurrence or non-occurrence of specified events other than by reason of antidilution adjustments, the Effective Price shall be recalculated using the figure to which such minimum amount of consideration is reduced; and provided further that if the minimum amount of consideration payable to HT upon the exercise or conversion of such rights, options or Convertible Securities is subsequently increased, the Effective Price shall be again recalculated using the increased minimum amount of consideration payable to HT upon the exercise or conversion of such rights, options or Convertible Securities. No further adjustment of the Share Exchange Price, as adjusted upon the issuance of such rights, options or Convertible Securities, shall be made as a result of the actual issuance of Additional HT Common Shares on the exercise of any such rights or options or the conversion of any such Convertible Securities. If any such rights or options or the conversion privilege represented by any such Convertible Securities shall expire without having been exercised, the Share Exchange Price as adjusted upon the issuance of such rights, options or Convertible Securities shall be readjusted to the Share Exchange Price which would have been in effect had an adjustment been made on the basis that the only Additional HT Common Shares so issued were the Additional HT Common Shares, if any, actually issued or sold on the exercise of such rights or options or rights of conversion of such Convertible Securities, and such Additional HT Common Shares, if any, were issued or sold for the consideration actually received by HT upon such exercise, plus the consideration, if any, actually received by HT for the granting of all such rights or options, 49 whether or not exercised, plus the consideration received for issuing or selling the Convertible Securities actually converted, plus the consideration, if any, actually received by HT (other than by cancellation of liabilities or obligations evidenced by such Convertible Securities) on the conversion of such Convertible Securities. (iv) "HT Common Shares" shall mean and include Class A Common Shares, as constituted on the date of filing of the Certificate, provided, however, that such term, when used to describe the securities receivable upon exchange of the Limited Partner Units, shall include only shares designated as HT Common Shares on the date of filing of the Certificate of Limited Partnership, any shares resulting from any combination or subdivision thereof referred to in Section 13.1(f), or in case of any reorganization or reclassification of the outstanding shares thereof, the stock, securities or assets provided for in Section 13.1(g)). "Additional HT Common Shares" shall mean all HT Common Shares issued by HT or deemed to be issued pursuant to this Section 13.1(h)(iv), whether or not subsequently reacquired or retired by HT. The "Effective Price" of Additional HT Common Shares shall mean the quotient determined by dividing the aggregate consideration received, or deemed to have been received by HT for such issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale under this Section 13.1(h)(iv), for such Additional HT Common Shares by the total number of Additional HT Common Shares issued or sold, or deemed to have been issued or sold by HT under this Section 13.1(h)(iv). (v) If HT proposes to issue or sell Additional Shares of HT Common Shares for an Effective Price that is less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the Share Exchange Price and such issuance or sale will result in a reduction of the Share Exchange Price pursuant to this Section 13.1 (an "AMEX Dilutive Issuance"), then the AMEX Dilutive Issuance and the resulting potential issuance of Additional HT Common Shares upon exchange of the Limited Partner Units at an Share Exchange Price below the initial Share Exchange Price, must be approved by the shareholders of HT to the extent required by the rules of the American Stock Exchange. If such holders do not approve the AMEX Dilutive Issuance, and the resulting potential issuance of Additional HT Common Shares upon conversion of the Limited Partner Units at an Share Exchange Price below the initial Share Exchange Price, as required to be approved by the preceding sentence, then HT shall not consummate the AMEX Dilutive Issuance in any manner that would cause a reduction of the Share Exchange Price pursuant to this Section 13.1. (f) In each case of an adjustment or readjustment of the Share Exchange Price for the number of Class A Common Shares, OP Partnership Units or other securities issuable upon exchange of the Limited Partner Units, if the Limited Partner Units are then exchangeable pursuant to this Article 13, HT, at its expense, shall compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the provisions hereof and prepare a certificate showing such adjustment or readjustment, and shall mail such certificate, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each registered holder of Limited Partner Units at such holder's address as shown in the Company's books and records. The certificate shall set forth such adjustment or readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (i) the consideration received or deemed to be received by HT for any Additional Class A Common Shares issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (ii) the Share Exchange Price in 50 effect at the time, (iii) the number of Additional Class A Common Shares issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold and (iv) the type and amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon exchange of the Limited Partner Units. (g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no adjustment of the Share Exchange Price shall be made pursuant to this Article 13 in an amount less than $.01 per Limited Partner Unit, and any such lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time and together with the next subsequent adjustment which together with any adjustments so carried forward shall amount to $.01 per Limited Partner Unit or more. (h) Upon (i) any taking by HT of a record of the holders of any class of securities of HT for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or (ii) any Acquisition (as defined in Section 15.1(a)(i)(A)) or other capital reorganization of HT, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of HT, any merger or consolidation of HT with or into any other entity, or any Asset Transfer (as defined in Section 15.1(a)(i)(B)), or any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of HT, HT shall mail to each holder of Limited Partner Units at least ten (10) days prior to the record date specified therein a notice specifying (A) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution and a description of such dividend or distribution, (B) the date on which any such Acquisition, reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger, Asset Transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and (C) the date, if any, that is to be fixed as to when the holders of record of Class A Common Shares (or other securities) shall be entitled to exchange their Class A Common Shares (or other securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such Acquisition, reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger, Asset Transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. (i) No fractional Class A Common Shares shall be issued upon the exchange of Limited Partner Units. All Class A Common Shares (including fractions thereof) issuable upon the exchange of the Limited Partner Units by a holder thereof shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exchange would result in the issuance of any fractional shares. If, after the aforementioned aggregation, the exchange would result in the issuance of any fractional shares, HT shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional shares, pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the Class A Common Shares' fair market value per share on the date of exchange (as reported by the American Stock Exchange, on which the Class A Common Shares are then listed for trading, or if none, the most recently reported "over the counter" trade price). (j) HT shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Class A Common Shares, solely for the purpose of effecting the exchange of the Limited Partner Units, such number of its Class A Common Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the exchange of all Limited Partner Units. If at any time the number of authorized but unissued Class A Common Shares shall not be sufficient to effect the exchange of all Limited Partner Units, HT shall, prior to exceeding such number of authorized but unissued shares, take such action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Class A Common Shares to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose. 51 (k) Any notice required by the provisions of this Article 13 shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (i) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (ii) when sent by confirmed telex or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient; if not, then on the next Business Day, (iii) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (iv) one (1) day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All notices shall be addressed to each holder of record at the address of such holder appearing on the books of the Company. (l) HT shall pay any and all stamp, transfer and other similar taxes payable or determined to be payable in connection with the issuance of the Class A Common Shares issuable upon the exchange of the Limited Partner Units. (m) It shall be a condition to the exercise of the Exchange Rights that each proposed registered holder of the Class A Common Shares or OP Partnership Units shall have executed and delivered to HT or HLP, as applicable, an undertaking to reimburse HT or HLP for the amount of any "unearned dividends or distributions" with respect to such securities. The per share or unit amount of such "unearned dividends or distributions" shall be equal to the product of (A) the amount of the per share or unit dividend or distribution paid on the Class A Common Shares or Series A Preferred Units in respect of the next record date which is on or after the effective date of the exchange (the record date for which is hereafter referred to as the "Current Record Date") multiplied by ------------- (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the period beginning with the day following the record date for the preceding dividend payment date (the "Prior Record Date") and ending with the effective date of the exchange and the denominator of which is the number of days in the period beginning with the day following the Prior Record Date and ending on the Current Record Date. Such undertaking shall acknowledge that the certificates representing the Class A Common Shares or OP Partnership Units may bear a legend referring to the provisions of this clause and such undertaking, which shall be binding on any transferee of such securities. SECTION 13.2 DETERMINATION OF FAIR MARKET VALUE ---------------------------------- (a) In connection with an election to receive Redemption Consideration set forth in Section 13.0 hereof, upon delivery of a note thereunder to the General Partner or Limited Partner, as the case may be, the party delivering the note (the "Section 13 Initiating Partner") shall promptly cause an appraisal of ----------------------------- the fair market value of the Company for purposes of fixing the principal amount of said note. The principal balance of such note shall equal the product arrived at by multiplying the fair market value of the Company, as determined in Section 13.2(b) below, by the Percentage Interest associated with the Partnership Units for which Redemption Consideration is being delivered under Section 13.0(a)(y) or 13.0(a)(z) above. (b) The fair market value of the Company shall be determined by appraisal in accordance with the following: (i) an appraiser shall be chosen by the Section 13 Initiating Partner, the determination of which shall be subject to the consent of the party receiving the note (the "Target Partner"), which -------------- consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; (ii) the appraiser shall be a member of the Appraisal Institute or any organization successor thereto; (iii) within (15) days after receipt of the Section 13 Initiating Partner's notice of the appointment of the appraiser, 52 the Section 13 Initiating Partner shall cause the appraiser to commence his/her appraisal of the fair market value of the Company. The appraiser appointed pursuant to this Section shall be a disinterested person of recognized competence who has had a minimum of ten (10) years experience in appraising commercial real estate in the states in which the Property(ies) are located. The appraiser shall determine the fair market value of the Company on the basis of all relevant factors affecting fair market value. The cost and expense of the appraiser and the appraisal process shall be borne by the Company. SECTION 13.3 PAYMENT OF NOTE/SALE OF PROPERTY. -------------------------------- (a) Promptly after the determination of the fair market value of the Company in accordance with Section 13.2 above, the Company or the Section 13 Initiating Partner, as the case may be, shall either (x) pay in full the principal of the note, together with accrued interest thereon, or (y) cause the applicable Subsidiary(ies) to sell Property(ies) in connection with a "Suitable Offer" for a purchase price payable in cash (within the meaning of Section 13.3(c)) equal to or greater than the principal amount of the note together with an amount reasonably anticipated to be the accrued interest thereon at the anticipated closing of the sale of the Property(ies) hereunder, the unpaid principal balance of all Mortgages encumbering the Property(ies) and the unpaid principal balance of all other indebtedness of the Company and the applicable Subsidiary(ies) for borrowed money attributable to such Property(ies) and apply the proceeds from such sale, to repay the principal of the note, together with accrued interest thereon, on the date(s) such Property(ies) are sold and to repay such amount in full on the date the last Property(ies) are sold.
