Contractual Relationship and Potential Conflict of Interest with Hospitality Trust

A Wall Street Journal article written by Karen Richardson on 2/20/2007, pointed out that the company stated in its prospectus that is not formed for its own benefit, but rather for Hospitality Properties Trust's benefit. So as the company stated in its offering prospectus, "some of our contractual relationships and the terms of our initial operations may provide more benefits to Hospitality Trust than to us."
