HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES TRUST

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

Note 1.  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Hospitality Properties Trust and its subsidiaries, or HPT, or we, our or us, are unaudited. Certain information and disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted. We believe the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. However, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, as amended, or our 2011 Annual Report.  In the opinion of our management, all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included in these condensed consolidated financial statements.  These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HPT and its subsidiaries, all of which are 100% owned directly or indirectly by HPT.  All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Our operating results for interim periods and those of our managers and tenants are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. Reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Significant estimates in the condensed consolidated financial statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts, purchase price allocations, useful lives of fixed assets and impairment of real estate and intangible assets.

We have determined that each of our taxable REIT subsidiaries, or TRSs, is a variable interest entity, or VIE, as defined under the Consolidation Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards CodificationTM.   We have concluded that we must consolidate each of our TRSs because we are the entity with the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact such VIEs’ performance and we have the obligation to absorb the majority of the potential variability in gains and losses of each VIE, with the primary focus on losses, and are, therefore, the primary beneficiary of each VIE.

Note 2.  New Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2012, we adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS.  This update clarified the application of existing fair value measurement requirements.  This update also required reporting entities to disclose additional information regarding fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.  This update was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  The implementation of this update did not cause any material changes to the disclosures in, or presentation of, our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In January 2012, we adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income.  This update eliminates the prior option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of shareholders’ equity.  This update is intended to enhance comparability between entities that report under GAAP and to provide a more consistent method of presenting non-owner transactions that affect an entity’s equity.  The update was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  The implementation of this update did not cause any changes to our condensed consolidated financial statements other than the presentation of the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

In July 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-02, Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment.  This update gives companies the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. The update is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after September 15, 2012 with early adoption permitted.  The implementation of this update is not expected to cause any changes to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

Note 3.  Revenue Recognition

We report hotel operating revenues for managed hotels in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. We generally recognize hotel operating revenues, consisting primarily of room and food and beverage sales, when services are provided. Our share of the net operating results of our managed hotels in excess of the minimum returns due to us, or additional returns, are generally determined annually. We recognize additional returns due to us under our management agreements at year end when all contingencies are met and the income is earned. We had no deferred additional returns for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

We recognize rental income from operating leases on a straight line basis over the term of the lease agreements.  Rental income includes ($52) and $243 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, of adjustments necessary to record rent on the straight line basis and $1,193 and $3,610 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, of adjustments necessary to record rent on the straight line basis.

We determine percentage rent due to us under our leases annually and recognize it at year end when all contingencies have been met and the rent is earned. We had deferred percentage rent of $919 and $3,481 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, and $481 and $1,417 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.

We own all the capital expenditure reserves, or FF&E reserves, for our hotels. We do not report the amounts which are escrowed as FF&E reserves for our managed hotels as FF&E reserve income. We report deposits by our third party hotel tenants into the escrow accounts as FF&E reserve income.

Note 4.  Per Common Share Amounts

We calculate per common share amounts using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. We had no dilutive common share equivalents at September 30, 2012 or 2011.

Note 5.  Shareholders’ Equity

Preferred Shares

In January 2012, we sold 11,600,000 7.125 % Series D cumulative redeemable preferred shares at a price of $25.00 per share in a public offering for net proceeds of $280,108 (after underwriting and other offering expenses).  Each of our Series D preferred shares has a distribution rate of $1.78125 per annum, payable in equal quarterly amounts, and a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share ($290,000 in aggregate). The Series D preferred shares are redeemable for $25.00 per share each plus accrued and unpaid distributions at our option at any time on or after January 15, 2017, or at the option of the holders of the Series D preferred shares if a change of control occurs which results in our common shares (or the common securities of an acquiring or surviving entity) not being listed or quoted on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, or certain other exchanges or quotation systems.  Also, upon the occurrence of such a change of control, holders of Series D preferred shares that are not redeemed may at their option convert those Series D preferred shares into our common shares (or certain alternative consideration) at a conversion rate generally based on their $25.00 liquidation preference and the market price of our common shares at the time of conversion, subject to a cap.

In February 2012, we redeemed our 3,450,000 outstanding 8.875% Series B cumulative redeemable preferred shares at the stated liquidation preference price of $25.00 per share plus accrued and unpaid distributions to the date of redemption. We reduced net income available for common shareholders by $2,944, which represented the amount by which the liquidation preference for our Series B cumulative redeemable preferred shares that we redeemed exceeded our carrying amount for those preferred shares as of the date of redemption.

In September 2012, we redeemed 6,000,000 of our 12,700,000 outstanding 7.00% Series C cumulative redeemable preferred shares at the stated liquidation preference of $25.00 per share plus accrued and unpaid distributions to the date of redemption.  We reduced net income available for common shareholders by $5,040, which represented the amount by

5

HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES TRUST

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

which the liquidation preference for our Series C cumulative redeemable preferred shares that we redeemed exceeded our carrying amount for those preferred shares as of the date of redemption.

Distributions

On January 17, 2012, we paid a $0.5546875 per share distribution to our Series B preferred shareholders with respect to the period ended January 14, 2012.

On each of February 15, 2012, May 15, 2012 and August 15, 2012, we paid a $0.4375 per share distribution to our Series C preferred shareholders with respect to the periods ended February 14, 2012, May 14, 2012 and August 14, 2012, respectively.  On October 1, 2012, we declared a $0.4375 per share distribution to our Series C preferred shareholders of record on October 31, 2012, with respect to the period ending November 14, 2012. We expect to pay this amount on or about November 15, 2012.

On April 16, 2012, July 16, 2012 and October 15, 2012, we paid a $0.43046875, $0.4453125 and $0.4453125 per share distribution to our Series D preferred shareholders with respect to the periods ended April 14, 2012, July 14, 2012 and October 14, 2012, respectively.

On each of February 23, 2012, May 24, 2012 and August 22, 2012, we paid a $0.45 per share distribution to our common shareholders.  On October 9, 2012, we declared a $0.47 per share regular quarterly distribution to our common shareholders of record on October 22, 2012.  We expect to pay this amount on or about November 21, 2012.

Common Share Issuances

As further described in Note 11, under the terms of our business management agreement with Reit Management & Research LLC, or RMR, on March 29, 2012 we issued 33,132 of our common shares of beneficial interest, $.01 par value per share, or our common shares, to RMR in payment of an incentive fee of approximately $741 for services rendered to us by RMR during 2011.

On May 9, 2012, pursuant to our equity compensation plan, we granted 2,000 of our common shares, valued at $25.58 per share, the closing price of our common shares on the NYSE on that day, to each of our five Trustees as part of their annual compensation.

On September 14, 2012, pursuant to our equity compensation plan, we granted an aggregate of 74,017 of our common shares, valued at $25.02 per share, the closing price of our common shares on the NYSE on that day, to our officers and certain employees of RMR.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Other comprehensive income (loss) represents the unrealized gain (loss) on the TravelCenters of America LLC, or TA, shares we own and our share of the comprehensive income of Affiliates Insurance Company, or AIC.  See Note 11 for further information regarding these investments.

Note 6.  Indebtedness

We have a $750,000 unsecured revolving credit facility that is available for acquisitions, working capital and general business purposes.  Our revolving credit facility matures on September 7, 2015, and subject to our payment of an extension fee and meeting certain other conditions, we may extend the maturity date for one year to September 7, 2016.  In addition, our revolving credit facility includes a feature under which maximum borrowings may be increased to up to $1,500,000 in certain circumstances.  Borrowings under our revolving credit facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a spread of 130 basis points.  We also pay a facility fee of 30 basis points per annum on the total amount of lending commitments under our revolving credit facility.  Both the interest rate spread and the facility fee are subject to adjustment based upon changes to our credit ratings.  We had no amounts outstanding during the three months ended September 30,

HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES TRUST

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

2012 and the weighted average interest rate for borrowings under our revolving credit facility was 1.58% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  As of September 30, 2012, we had no amounts outstanding and $750,000 available under our revolving credit facility.

On March 12, 2012, we entered into a five year $400,000 unsecured term loan.  Our term loan matures on March 13, 2017, and is prepayable without penalty at any time.  In addition, our term loan includes a feature under which maximum borrowings may be increased to up to $500,000 in certain circumstances.  The amount outstanding under our term loan bears interest at LIBOR plus a spread of 145 basis points that is subject to adjustment based upon changes to our credit ratings.  The weighted average interest rate for borrowings under our term loan was 1.70% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and for the period from March 12, 2012 to September 30, 2012.

Our revolving credit facility agreement and our term loan agreement contain a number of covenants that restrict our ability to incur debt in excess of calculated amounts, restrict our ability to make distributions under certain circumstances and generally require us to maintain certain financial ratios.  We believe we were in compliance with the terms and conditions of our revolving credit facility agreement and our term loan agreement at September 30, 2012.

On March 20, 2012, we repurchased at par plus accrued and unpaid interest $70,576 of our 3.8% convertible senior notes due 2027 which were tendered by the holders of these notes for repurchase by us.

We separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of our 3.8% convertible senior notes due 2027 to reflect the fair value of the liability component based on our non-convertible borrowing cost at the issuance date. We measured the fair value of the debt components of the notes at issuance based on an estimated effective interest rate of 6.06% and amortized the resulting discount as an increase to interest expense over the expected life of the debt (assuming holders of the notes exercised in full their options to require us to repay the notes on March 20, 2012).

·The net carrying amount of our 3.8% convertible senior notes due 2027 was $8,478 and $78,823 as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

·The unamortized discount on such notes was $0 and $231 as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. We amortized the discount through March 20, 2012, the first date on which the holders of our 3.8% convertible senior notes could require that we redeem them.

·Interest expense with respect to our 3.8% convertible senior notes for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 includes non-cash amortization of $0 and $404, respectively.  Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 includes non-cash amortization of $270 and $1,194, respectively.

·The amount allocated as the equity component of the 3.8% convertible senior notes was $37,710 as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 and is included in additional paid in capital in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

On April 11, 2012, we redeemed at par all of our outstanding 6.85% senior notes due 2012 for $100,829 plus accrued and unpaid interest.

On August 16, 2012, we issued $500,000 of 5.00% senior notes due 2022 in a public offering for net proceeds of $487,946 (after underwriting and other offering expenses).

On September 10, 2012, we redeemed at par all of our outstanding 6.75% senior notes due 2013 for $287,000 plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Note 7.  Real Estate Properties

At September 30, 2012, we owned 471 properties consisting of 286 hotels and 185 travel centers that were operated under ten management agreements or leases and leased one hotel, which is operated under a separate management agreement.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we funded $262,471 of improvements to certain of our properties, which pursuant to the terms of our management agreements and leases with our hotel managers and tenants, resulted in a $20,376 increase in our annual minimum returns and rents.

On January 31, 2012, we completed an acquisition of the entities which own the Royal Sonesta Hotel Boston in Cambridge, MA, or the Cambridge Hotel, (400 rooms) and lease the Royal Sonesta Hotel New Orleans in New Orleans, LA, or the New Orleans Hotel, (483 rooms) for total cash consideration of $150,500, excluding related acquisition costs of $3,261.  We have included the results of these hotels in our condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.  The pro forma impact of including the results of operations of the hotels from the beginning of the period is not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.  The following table summarizes our allocation of the acquisition cost to estimated fair value of the assets we acquired and the liabilities we assumed:

Land	$	32,436
Building	78,764
Furniture, fixtures and equipment	19,536
Intangible assets (including the leasehold value of the New Orleans Hotel)	22,326
Goodwill	7,658
Other, net	(2,562		)
Deferred tax liability	(7,658		)
Total	$	150,500

Simultaneous with this acquisition, we entered into management agreements with Sonesta International Hotels Corporation (formerly known as Sonesta Acquisition Corp.), or Sonesta.  See Notes 11 and 12 for further information about these transactions.

On July 12, 2012, we sold our Marriott International, Inc. or Marriott, branded hotel in St. Louis, MO for net proceeds of $28,850.  We recorded a gain on sale of $10,210 in the third quarter of 2012.

On August 24, 2012, we sold our Staybridge Suites branded hotel in Schaumburg, IL for net proceeds of $1,872.  We recorded a gain on sale of $329 in the third quarter of 2012.

On August 29, 2012, we sold our Staybridge Suites branded hotel in Auburn Hills, MI for net proceeds of $3,482.  We recorded a gain on sale of $63 in the third quarter of 2012.

On November 1, 2012, we acquired a full service hotel in Chicago, IL, or the Chicago hotel, for $85,000, excluding closing costs.  See Note 12 for further information about this transaction.

Note 8. Income Taxes

We have elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and, accordingly are generally not subject to federal and most state income taxation on our operating income provided we distribute our taxable income to our shareholders and meet certain organization and operating requirements.  We are subject to income tax in Canada, Puerto Rico and certain states despite our REIT status.  Further, we lease our managed hotels to our wholly owned TRSs that, unlike most of our other subsidiaries, file a separate consolidated tax return and are subject to federal, state and foreign income taxes.  Our consolidated income tax provision (or benefit) includes the income tax provision (or benefit) related to the operations of our TRSs and certain state and foreign income taxes incurred by us despite our REIT status.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recognized a current income tax benefit (expense) of $276 and ($4,550), respectively, which includes $410 and ($1,921), respectively, of federal taxes, ($26) and ($78), respectively, of foreign taxes and ($108) and ($2,551), respectively, of certain state taxes that are payable without regard to our REIT status and TRS tax loss carry forwards. In addition, during the three and nine months ended

The summary financial information of TA is presented to comply with applicable accounting regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC.  References in our financial statements to TA’s Quarterly Report are included to show the source of the information only, and the other information in TA’s Quarterly Report is not incorporated by reference into these financial statements.  See Note 11 for further information relating to our TA leases.

Note 11. Related Person Transactions

We have no employees.  Personnel and various services we require to operate our business are provided to us by RMR.  We have two agreements with RMR to provide management and administrative services to us: (1) a business management agreement which relates to our business generally and (2) a property management agreement which relates to the property level operations of the office building component of only one property in Baltimore, MD, which also includes a Royal Sonesta hotel.  Under our business management agreement with RMR, we acknowledge that RMR also provides services to other companies, including TA and Sonesta.  One of our Managing Trustees, Mr. Barry Portnoy, is Chairman, majority owner and an employee of RMR.  Our other Managing Trustee, Mr. Adam Portnoy, is the son of Mr. Barry Portnoy, and an owner, President, Chief Executive Officer and a director of RMR.  Each of our

12

HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES TRUST

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

executive officers is also an officer of RMR.  Certain of TA’s and Sonesta’s executive officers are officers of RMR.  Our Independent Trustees also serve as independent directors or independent trustees of other public companies to which RMR provides management services.  Mr. Barry Portnoy serves as a managing director or managing trustee of those companies and Mr. Adam Portnoy serves as a managing trustee of a majority of those companies.

Pursuant to our business management and property management agreements with RMR, we incurred expenses of $8,068 and $9,432 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $26,650 and $26,306 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  These amounts are included in general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated financial statements.  In March 2012, we issued 33,132 shares to RMR in satisfaction of the incentive fee RMR earned for services provided to us during 2011, in accordance with the terms of the business management agreement.

TA is our former 100% owned subsidiary.  TA became a public company in a spin off transaction in 2007. We are TA’s largest shareholder and, as of the date of this report, we owned 2,540,000 common shares of TA, or approximately 8.8% of TA’s outstanding common shares.  One of our Managing Trustees, Mr. Barry Portnoy, is also a managing director of TA.  RMR provides management services to both us and TA.

TA is our largest tenant and has two leases with us, the TA No. 1 lease and the TA No. 2 lease, pursuant to which TA currently leases 185 travel centers from us.  The TA No. 1 lease is for 145 travel centers that TA operates under the “TravelCenters of America” or “TA” brand names.   The TA No. 2 lease is for 40 travel centers that TA operates under the “Petro” brand name.  The TA No. 1 lease expires on December 31, 2022.  The TA No. 2 lease expires on June 30, 2024, and may be extended by TA for up to two additional periods of 15 years each.  Both of these leases require TA to: (1) make payments to us of minimum rents; (2) pay us percentage rent equal to 3% of non-fuel revenues and 0.3% of fuel revenues over threshold amounts established in 2011 and to be established in 2012 (with the first $2,500 of percentage rents under the TA No. 2 lease waived by us), respectively; and (3) maintain the leased travel centers, including structural and non-structural components.  In addition to minimum and percentage rent, TA is obligated to pay us ground rent of approximately $5,126 per year under the TA No. 1 lease.  Previously deferred rent due from TA of $107,085 and $42,915 is due in December 2022 and June 2024, respectively.  We have not recognized any of the deferred rent as rental income or as rents receivable due to uncertainties regarding future collection.

We recognized rental income from our leases with TA of $51,717 and $50,597 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $154,626 and $150,683 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Rental income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 includes ($69) and $218, respectively, and $1,195 and $3,594, respectively, of adjustments necessary to record rent on our TA No. 1 lease on a straight line basis.  We had deferred percentage rent under our TA No. 1 lease of $77 and $1,277 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.  We determine percentage rent due under our TA No. 1 lease annually and recognize it at year end when all contingencies are met.

Under both of our leases with TA, TA may request that we purchase capital improvements to the leased facilities in return for minimum rent increases; however TA is not required to request that we purchase those capital improvements it makes to our properties and we are not required to fund any such request.  We purchased $48,282 of capital improvements from TA under this lease provision during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, which resulted in a $4,104 increase in our annual minimum rents.  See Note 10 above for more information about TA.

The stockholders of Sonesta are Mr. Barry Portnoy and Mr. Adam Portnoy, who are our Managing Trustees, and they also serve as directors of Sonesta.  As noted above, Messrs. Barry and Adam Portnoy have relationships with RMR and RMR provides services to us and to Sonesta.

On November 2, 2011, we entered into a purchase agreement, or the Purchase Agreement, with Sonesta and its wholly owned subsidiary, PAC Merger Corp., or Merger Sub, and together with Sonesta, the Sellers, to purchase from Sonesta the entities, or the Hotel Entities, that own the Cambridge Hotel and lease the New Orleans Hotel.  At that time, the Cambridge Hotel and the New Orleans Hotel were owned or leased and operated by subsidiaries of what was then known as Sonesta International Hotels Corporation, or SNSTA.  The Purchase Agreement was a component part of a

13

HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES TRUST

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

transaction that involved the acquisition by merger, or the Merger, of all of SNSTA’s shares by Sonesta pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger, or the Merger Agreement, which was entered into between Sonesta, Merger Sub and SNSTA on November 2, 2011.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on January 31, 2012, Merger Sub merged with and into SNSTA.  Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we advanced the approximately $150,500 aggregate purchase price for the Hotel Entities to the Sellers for the purpose of the Sellers consummating the Merger under the Merger Agreement.  The purchase price was reduced by the outstanding principal and accrued interest owed under a variable rate mortgage loan due in 2015 secured by the Cambridge Hotel, or the Cambridge Loan. We prepaid this mortgage loan, which had an outstanding principal balance of approximately $31,035, and unwound a related interest rate hedge agreement for $2,525 on January 31, 2012.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, following the consummation of the Merger, Sonesta initiated a restructuring of SNSTA, which resulted in SNSTA owning equity interests of the Hotel Entities and certain related assets and the Hotel Entities owning only the real estate comprising the Cambridge Hotel and the leasehold for the New Orleans Hotel and related furniture, fixtures and equipment and certain other assets, and in Sonesta or its subsidiaries (other than SNSTA and its subsidiary Hotel Entities) owning the other assets of SNSTA, including its management businesses and brands and assuming all liabilities of SNSTA, other than the liabilities associated with the Cambridge Loan, income taxes, taxes related to retained assets and certain payables and other liabilities. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, after giving effect to that restructuring, Sonesta then transferred to us all of the then issued and outstanding capital stock of SNSTA (which then owned the Hotel Entities, which in turn own or lease the Cambridge Hotel and the New Orleans Hotel), free and clear of any liens, encumbrances or other restrictions (other than the Cambridge Loan and certain other matters).  Sonesta retained the management business of SNSTA and Sonesta manages certain of our other hotels, as described below, and we currently expect that Sonesta and its Sonesta management team will be available to operate other of our hotels in the future.

Simultaneously with consummation of the Purchase Agreement on January 31, 2012, we entered hotel management agreements with Sonesta, which provide for Sonesta to manage for us each of the Cambridge Hotel and the New Orleans Hotel.

In April 2012, we entered into a pooling agreement with Sonesta that combines our management agreements with Sonesta for hotels that we own for purposes of calculating gross revenues, payment of hotel operating expenses, payment of fees and distributions and the calculation of minimum returns due to us.  We refer to this agreement and combination of hotels and management agreements as our Sonesta No. 1 agreement.

During the period April 2012 through August 2012, we entered into 17 hotel management agreements with Sonesta for 17 hotels historically owned by us and managed by InterContinental Hotels Group, plc, or InterContinental, which hotels have been rebranded with Sonesta brands.  Thirteen of these agreements relate to the former Staybridge Suites branded, limited service hotels located in Burlington, MA, Orlando, FL, Andover, MA, Parsippany, NJ, Malvern, PA, Somerset, NJ, Princeton, NJ, Houston, TX, Columbia, MD, Charlotte, NC, Atlanta, GA, St. Louis, MO, and Myrtle Beach, SC, two agreements relate to the former InterContinental branded, full service hotels located in Baltimore, MD and Houston, TX and two agreements relate to the former Crowne Plaza branded, full service hotels located in Hilton Head, SC and Philadelphia, PA. The thirteen former Staybridge Suites hotels have been rebranded as Sonesta ES Suites hotels, the former InterContinental hotels have been rebranded as Royal Sonesta hotels and the former Crowne Plaza hotels have been rebranded as Sonesta hotels.  All of the management agreements for these hotels were added to the Sonesta No. 1 agreement.

In August 2012, we entered into hotel management agreements with Sonesta for two additional hotels historically owned by us and managed by Marriott (these hotels were removed from our Marriott No. 234 agreement, which agreement is further described in Note 12 below).  These two agreements relate to the former Residence Inn branded, limited service hotels located in Flagstaff, AZ and Dublin, OH.  Both of those hotels have been rebranded as Sonesta ES Suites hotels and the management agreements for those hotels were added to the Sonesta No. 1 agreement.  For more information about our management agreements with Sonesta, please see Note 12 below.

HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES TRUST

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

Pursuant to our management agreements with Sonesta, we incurred management, system and reservation fees payable to Sonesta of $1,903 and $3,536 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.  These amounts are included in hotel operating expenses in our condensed consolidated financial statements.  In addition, we also incurred procurement and construction supervision fees payable to Sonesta in connection with capital expenditures at our hotels managed by Sonesta of $185 and $209 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.  These amounts have been capitalized in our condensed consolidated financial statements.  Under our hotel management agreements with Sonesta, routine property maintenance, which is expensed, is an operating expense of the hotels and repairs and periodic renovations, which are capitalized, are funded by us, except in the case of the New Orleans Hotel where capital expenditures are borne in large part by the lessor.

In August 2012, we sold two hotels that were managed by InterContinental that we previously disclosed we had agreed to sell, consistent with our agreement with InterContinental.  One of those hotels was the Staybridge Suites branded, limited service hotel located in Schaumburg, IL, which we sold for a cash purchase price of $2,060, and the other hotel was the Staybridge Suites branded, limited service hotel located in Auburn Hills, MI, which we sold for a cash purchase price of $3,510.  We recognized a gain on these sales totaling $392.  The purchaser was New 165 South Union Road, Inc., an entity owned by Mr. Barry Portnoy, as assignee of Schaumberg Suites LLC and Auburn Hills Suites LLC, entities owned by Mr. Barry Portnoy and Mr. Adam Portnoy, and both of the hotels were removed from our management agreement with InterContinental (which agreement is further described in Note 12 below).  We understand these two hotels are subject to management agreements with Sonesta and have been rebranded as Sonesta ES Suites hotels and that, after giving effect to the acquisition transactions, the owners and operators of these hotels will be affiliates of RMR, our manager, that are owned by Mr. Barry Portnoy and Mr. Adam Portnoy, who are our Managing Trustees.  As noted above, Mr. Barry Portnoy and Mr. Adam Portnoy have relationships with RMR and RMR provides services to us and to Sonesta.  The purchase price paid for these two hotels was equal to prices agreed between us and InterContinental and the sale was approved by our Independent Trustees after considering an appraisal report.

We, RMR, TA and five other companies to which RMR provides management services each currently own 12.5% of AIC, an Indiana insurance company.  All of our Trustees, all of the trustees and directors of the other publicly held AIC shareholders and nearly all of the directors of RMR currently serve on the board of directors of AIC.  RMR provides management and administrative services to AIC pursuant to a management and administrative services agreement with AIC.  Although we own less than 20% of AIC, we use the equity method to account for this investment because we believe that we have significant influence over AIC because all of our Trustees are also directors of AIC.  Our investment in AIC had a carrying value of $5,558 and $5,291 as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.  We recognized income of $115 and $28 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $236 and $111 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, related to this investment.  We and the other shareholders of AIC have purchased property insurance providing $500,000 of coverage pursuant to an insurance program arranged by AIC and with respect to which AIC is a reinsurer of certain coverage amounts.  This program was modified and extended in June 2012 for a one year term and we paid a premium, including taxes and fees, of $5,256 in connection with that renewal, which amount may be adjusted from time to time as we acquire or dispose of properties that are included in that program.  We are also currently investigating the possibilities to expand our insurance relationships with AIC to include other types of insurance.  We may invest additional amounts in AIC in the future if the expansion of this insurance business requires additional capital, but we are not obligated to do so.  By participating in this insurance business with RMR and the other companies to which RMR provides management services, we expect that we may benefit financially by possibly reducing our insurance expenses or by realizing our pro-rata share of any profits of this insurance business.

Note 12. Hotel Management Agreements and Leases

Marriott No. 234 agreement.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the payments we received under our Marriott No. 234 agreement, which requires annual minimum returns to us of $100,622, were $2,318 and $6,989 less than the minimum amounts contractually required, respectively.  Pursuant to our Marriott No. 234 agreement, Marriott provided us with a limited guarantee for shortfalls up to 90% of our minimum returns.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, Marriott was not required to make any guaranty payments to us because the payments received by us were in excess of the guaranty threshold amount (90% of the minimum returns due to us). During the three months ended September 30, 2012, the amount available under Marriott’s guaranty was replenished by the $400 of hotel cash flows in excess of the guaranty threshold amount.  Also, during the period from September 30, 2012 to November 6, 2012, the payments we received for these hotels were $1,555 less than the contractual minimum returns due to us.  Marriott was not required to make any guaranty payments to us because the minimum return payments received were in excess of the guaranty threshold.  The balance of this guaranty was $30,873 as of November 6, 2012.

We and Marriott previously identified 21 Marriott hotels included in our Marriott No. 234 agreement for potential sale.  In May 2012, we announced we had entered agreements with Marriott to retain ownership of and renovate 18 of the 21 hotels.  We currently expect to fund approximately $43,000 for certain improvements to these 18 hotels.  As we fund these amounts, our annual minimum returns due under the Marriott No. 234 agreement will be increased by 9% of the amounts funded.  As discussed in Note 7, in July 2012 we sold one of these 21 hotels, a full service Marriott hotel in St. Louis, MO.  We received net proceeds of $28,850 from the sale and our annual minimum returns under the Marriott No. 234 agreement were decreased by $2,597 when this hotel was sold.  In August 2012, we removed the remaining two of the 21 hotels from the Marriott No. 234 agreement and converted them to the Sonesta ES Suites brand and Sonesta management.  Our annual minimum returns under the Marriott No. 234 agreement were reduced by $990 when these two hotels were removed from the Marriott No. 234 agreement.

The May 2012 agreements with Marriott provide that the FF&E reserve funding requirements for all hotels included in the Marriott No. 234 agreement are eliminated during 2012 (effective May 29, 2012 and retroactive to January 1, 2012), reduced in 2013 and 2014, and then increased in 2015 through the remaining agreement term of 2025.  The May 2012 agreements with Marriott also provide that Marriott’s limited guarantee of the minimum return amounts due to us under the Marriott No. 234 agreement will be extended through 2019.

InterContinental agreement.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the payments we received under our agreement with InterContinental covering 91 hotels and requiring minimum returns to us of $131,654 were $2,743 and $17,493 less than the minimum amounts contractually required, respectively.  We applied the available security deposit to cover these shortfalls.  Also, during the period from September 30, 2012 to November 6, 2012, the minimum return payments we received under our InterContinental agreement were $5,061 less than the minimum amounts due to us.  We applied the available security deposit to cover these shortfalls.  The remaining balance of the security deposit was $33,266 as of November 6, 2012.

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

When we reduce the amounts of the security deposits we hold for these agreements or any other operating agreements for payment deficiencies, we record income equal to the amounts by which these deposits are reduced up to the minimum return or minimum rent due to us. However, reducing the security deposits does not result in additional cash flow to us of the deficiency amounts, but reducing amounts of security deposits may reduce the refunds due to the respective lessees or managers who have provided us with these deposits upon expiration of the respective lease or management agreement.  The security deposits are non-interest bearing and are not held in escrow.  Under all of our hotel contracts that include a security deposit, any amount of the security deposits which are applied to payment deficits may be replenished from future cash flows from the applicable hotel operations pursuant to the terms of the respective contracts.

Under the InterContinental agreement, we had the option to sell or rebrand up to 42 hotels included in the agreement.  In April 2012, we and InterContinental agreed to retain three of the 42 hotels in the InterContinental agreement.  We provided notices to InterContinental during the period from February 2012 to June 2012 that we planned to remove the remaining 39 of the 42 hotels from the InterContinental agreement.  We entered into management agreements with Sonesta for 17 of these hotels, which were converted to Sonesta brands and management during the second and third quarters of 2012.  As described below, in May 2012, we entered into an agreement with Wyndham Hotel Group, or Wyndham, a member of the Wyndham Worldwide Corporation for 20 of these 39 hotels.  We converted these 20 hotels to Wyndham brands and management on August 1, 2012.  In August 2012, we sold the remaining two of the 39 hotels for combined net proceeds of $5,354.  Our annual minimum returns due under the InterContinental agreement were reduced by an aggregate of $34,990 when these 39 hotels were removed.

Sonesta agreements.  As described in Note 11, on January 31, 2012, we entered into two management agreements with Sonesta to manage our Cambridge Hotel and our New Orleans Hotel.  The management agreement for our Cambridge Hotel, which is included in our Sonesta No. 1 agreement, provides that we are paid a fixed minimum return equal to 8% of our invested capital, as defined in the management agreement for our Cambridge Hotel, if gross revenues of the hotels, after payment of hotel operating expenses and base fees to Sonesta, are sufficient to do so.  Under the terms of this agreement, we may earn additional returns of 80% of cash flow after payment of our minimum returns and reimbursement of operating losses or working capital advances, if any.  We are required to fund operating losses or working capital shortfalls, but may recover these amounts from future cash flows, if any.  As described above, during the second and third quarters of 2012, we removed 17 hotels from our InterContinental agreement and two hotels from our Marriott No. 234 agreement and converted them to Sonesta brands and management.  We entered into hotel management agreements with Sonesta for these hotels and added them to our Sonesta No. 1 agreement.  The terms of these management agreements are substantially the same as our Cambridge Hotel management agreement, except that in the case of limited service hotels the base management fee payable to Sonesta is 5% of gross revenues (compared to 3% of gross revenues for other Sonesta branded hotels) and our working capital required advance per room is less ($750 per key compared to $1,500 per key for the full service Sonesta hotels).  In addition, in April 2012, we entered into a pooling agreement with Sonesta as further described in Note 11.  Under the terms of the pooling agreement, results from the hotels included in our Sonesta No. 1 agreement are combined for purposes of calculating gross revenues, payment of hotel operating expenses, payment of fees and distributions and the calculation of minimum returns due to us.  Our annual minimum returns as of September 30, 2012 for the 20 hotels included in the Sonesta No. 1 agreement were $36,476.  We currently expect to fund between $130,000 and $150,000 for rebranding, renovations and other improvements to the 19 hotels we rebranded as Sonesta hotels.  The annual minimum returns due to us under the Sonesta No. 1 agreement will increase to the extent amounts funded for these improvements exceed threshold amounts, as defined.

We lease the New Orleans Hotel from a third party.  The annual rent payable by us under the lease is calculated as 75% of the sum of the net profit of the hotel (hotel operating revenues less hotel operating expenses, including a 3% management fee to Sonesta), less capital expenditures made during the lease year.  The management agreement for our New Orleans Hotel, which we refer to as our Sonesta No. 2 agreement, provides that we are paid all cash flow of the hotel after the payment of operating expenses, including a management fee to Sonesta and rent expense.

We do not have any security deposits or guarantees for our hotels managed by Sonesta.  Sonesta’s incentive management fees, but not its other fees, are only earned after we receive our minimum returns, and we may cancel these

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

management agreements if approximately 75% of our minimum returns are not paid for certain periods.  Accordingly, the returns we receive from hotels managed by Sonesta will depend exclusively upon the performance of those hotels.

Wyndham agreement.  As described above, on May 21, 2012, we entered an agreement to rebrand 20 of our hotels which were managed by InterContinental to Wyndham brands, which conversion occurred on August 1, 2012.  All 20 hotels are being managed by Wyndham under a long term management contract with an initial term of 25 years and two renewal terms of 15 years each.  Our annual minimum return under our Wyndham agreement for these 20 hotels was $9,681 as of September 30, 2012, and such payment was subject to a $20,000 limited guarantee by Wyndham (and an annual payment limit of $10,000).  The cash flows generated by our Wyndham hotels were $3,547 less than the minimum returns due for the period August 1, 2012 through September 30, 2012 and Wyndham provided guaranty payments to cover these shortfalls.  There was $16,453 remaining at September 30, 2012 under our Wyndham guarantee.  We have agreed to provide up to $75,000 for refurbishment and rebranding of these hotels to “Wyndham Hotels and Resorts” (four hotels) and “Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham” (16 hotels) brand standards.  As these amounts are funded, the annual minimum returns due to us under the management agreement will increase by 8% of the amounts funded.

On November 1, 2012, we acquired the Hotel 71, a full service hotel in Chicago, IL for $85,000, excluding closing costs, and added it to our Wyndham agreement.  Upon completion of a planned renovation, the property will consist of 348 hotel rooms managed by Wyndham and 48 vacation units leased to Wyndham Vacation Resorts, Inc., a subsidiary of Wyndham Worldwide Corporation.  Our annual minimum returns under the Wyndham agreement increased by $5,800 and the limited guaranty provided by Wyndham increased by $9,000 upon closing of this hotel acquisition (and increased the annual payment limit to $14,500).  The lease with Wyndham Vacation Resorts, Inc. provides for annual initial rent to us of $1,000 increasing 3% per annum.  We plan to convert this hotel to the “Wyndham Grand Chicago Riverfront” hotel and have agreed to provide up to $18,000 for the rebranding and renovation of this hotel.  As these rebranding and renovation amounts are funded, the annual minimum return due to us under the Wyndham agreement will increase by 8% of the amounts funded.

Other management agreement and lease matters.  As of November 6, 2012, all payments due to us from our managers and tenants under our other operating agreements were current.  Certain amounts of minimum return and minimum rent payments due to us under some of our other hotel management agreements and leases are supported by guarantees. The guaranty provided by Hyatt Hotels Corporation, or Hyatt, with respect to the 22 hotels managed by Hyatt is limited to $50,000 ($18,141 remaining at September 30, 2012). The guaranty provided by Carlson Hotels Worldwide, or Carlson, with respect to the 11 hotels managed by Carlson is limited to $40,000 ($24,130 remaining at September 30, 2012).  The guaranty provided by Marriott with respect to the one hotel leased by Marriott (our Marriott No. 5 agreement) is unlimited and continues throughout the lease term.

Certain of our managed hotel portfolios had net operating results that were, in the aggregate, $20,300 and $6,653, less than the minimum returns due to us in the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $46,697 and $37,875 less than the minimum returns due to us in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  When the shortfalls are funded by the managers of these hotels under the terms of our operating agreements, we reflect such fundings (including security deposit applications) in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income as a reduction of hotel operating expenses. The reduction to operating expenses was $12,791 and $6,653 in the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $30,483 and $37,875 in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  We had $9,840 and $16,210 of shortfalls not funded by managers during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, which represents the unguaranteed portion of our minimum returns from Marriott and from Sonesta.

In November 2010, Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc., or Host, notified us that it will not exercise its renewal option at the end of the current lease term for 53 hotels which we have historically referred to as our Marriott No. 1 agreement.  In the absence of any default by Host, upon expiration of the agreement on December 31, 2012, we expect to return the $50,540 security deposit to Host, to lease these hotels to one of our TRSs and to continue the existing hotel brand and management agreements with Marriott with respect to these hotels; this management agreement with Marriott expires in 2024.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our 2011 Annual Report.

Overview (dollar amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)

Hotel operations. The U.S. hotel industry generally continues to show improvement in average daily rate, or ADR, occupancy and revenue per available room, or RevPAR, over 2011, but these measures are still below levels prior to the recent recession. We believe the increases in ADR, occupancy and RevPAR at certain of our hotels in 2012 have been below hotel industry averages primarily due to the disruption and displacement caused by renovation and rebranding activities. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we had 27 and 123, respectively, of our hotels under renovation for all or part of the period and we rebranded 35 and 39 hotels, respectively during those periods. We expect our high level of hotel renovation activity to continue through the remainder of 2012 and into 2013.

Our hotel tenants and managers. Many of our hotel operating agreements contain security features, such as guarantees and security deposits, which are intended to protect minimum returns and rents due to us in accordance with our operating agreements regardless of hotel performance. However, the effectiveness of various security features to provide uninterrupted receipt by us of minimum returns and rents is not assured, particularly if the U.S. economy and the lodging industry take an extended period to recover from the severe declines experienced during the recent recession, if economic conditions decline, or if our hotel renovation activities described above do not result in improved operating results at these hotels. Further, certain of the guarantees that have been granted to us are limited in amount and duration and do not provide for payment of the entire amount of the applicable minimum return shortfalls. If our tenants, managers or guarantors do not earn or pay the minimum returns and rents due to us, our cash flows will decline and we may be unable to pay distributions to our shareholders, repay our debt or fund our debt service obligations.

Marriott No. 234 agreement. Additional details of this agreement are set forth in Note 12 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the payments we received under our Marriott No. 234 agreement, which requires annual minimum returns to us of $100,622, were $2,318 and $6,989 less than the minimum amounts contractually required, respectively. Pursuant to our Marriott No. 234 agreement, Marriott provided us with a limited guarantee for shortfalls up to 90% of our minimum returns. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, Marriott was not required to make any guaranty payments to us because the payments received by us were in excess of the guaranty threshold amount (90% of the minimum returns due to us). During the three months ended September 30, 2012, the amount available under Marriott’s guaranty was replenished by the $400 of hotel cash flows in excess of the guaranty threshold amount. Also, during the period from September 30, 2012 to November 6, 2012, the payments we received for these hotels were $1,555 less than the contractual minimum returns due to us. Marriott was not required to make any guaranty payments to us because the minimum return payments received were in excess of the guaranty threshold. The balance of this guaranty was $30,873 as of November 6, 2012.

InterContinental agreement. Additional details of this agreement are set forth in Note 12 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the payments we received under our agreement with InterContinental covering 91 hotels and requiring minimum returns to us of $131,654 were $2,743 and $17,493 less than the minimum amounts contractually required, respectively. We applied the available security deposit to cover these shortfalls. Also, during the period from September 30, 2012 to November 6, 2012, the minimum return payments we received under our InterContinental agreement were $5,061 less than the minimum amounts due to us. We applied the available security deposit to cover these shortfalls. The remaining balance of the security deposit was $33,266 as of November 6, 2012.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Sonesta agreements. On January 31, 2012, we completed our acquisition of the entities which own the Cambridge Hotel and the New Orleans Hotel for $153,062 ($150,500 cash consideration and $2,562 of assumed net liabilities), excluding acquisition costs. Additional details of this transaction are set forth in Notes 7, 11 and 12 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.

We do not have any security deposits or guarantees for our hotels managed by Sonesta. Sonesta’s incentive management fees, but not its other fees, are only earned after we receive our minimum returns, and we may cancel these management agreements if approximately 75% of our minimum returns are not paid for certain periods. Accordingly, the returns we receive from hotels managed by Sonesta will depend exclusively upon the performance of those hotels.

Wyndham agreement. Details of this agreement are set forth in Note 12 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.

Other management agreement and lease matters. As of November 6, 2012, all payments due to us from our managers and tenants under our other operating agreements were current. Additional details of our guarantees from Hyatt and Carlson and our lease agreements with TA are set forth in Notes 11 and 12 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference. Other information about TA is set forth in Note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.

When we reduce the amounts of the security deposits we hold under our operating agreements for payment deficiencies, we record income equal to the amounts by which these deposits are reduced up to the minimum return or minimum rent due to us. However, reducing the security deposits does not result in additional cash flow to us of the deficiency amounts, but reducing amounts of security deposits may reduce the refunds due to the respective lessees or managers who have provided us with these deposits upon expiration of the respective lease or management agreement. Security deposits are non-interest bearing and are not required to be held in escrow. Under all of our hotel contracts that include a security deposit, any amount of the security deposits which are applied to payment deficits may be replenished from future cash flows from the applicable hotel operations pursuant to the terms of the respective contracts. When we receive payments under guarantees under our leases or operating agreements, we receive cash. When we receive guaranty payments under our hotel operating agreements, generally the hotel operator is allowed to recapture payments it makes to us out of some or all of the hotels’ future cash flows after our minimum returns are paid.

In November 2010, Host notified us that it will not exercise its renewal option at the end of the current lease term for 53 hotels which we have historically referred to as our Marriott No. 1 agreement. In the absence of any default by Host, upon expiration of the agreement on December 31, 2012, we expect to return the $50,540 security deposit to Host, to lease these hotels to one of our TRSs and to continue the existing hotel brand and management agreements with Marriott with respect to these hotels; this management agreement with Marriott expires in 2024.

Management Agreements and Leases

At September 30, 2012, we owned or leased 287 hotels operated under nine operating agreements; 231 of these hotels are leased by us to our wholly owned TRSs and managed by hotel operating companies, one hotel is leased by one of our TRSs from a third party and managed by a hotel operating company and 55 are leased to third parties. At September 30, 2012, we also owned 185 travel centers that are leased to TA under two agreements. Our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income include operating revenues and expenses of our managed hotels and rental income from leased hotels and travel centers. Additional information regarding the terms of our management agreements and leases is included in the table on pages 35 and 36 below.

References to changes in the income and expense categories below relate to the comparison of consolidated results for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 compared with the three month period ended September 30, 2011.

The increase in hotel operating revenues in the third quarter of 2012 compared to the third quarter of 2011 was caused primarily by increased revenue at certain of our managed hotels due to increases in ADR and higher occupancies and our acquisition of the entities that own or lease the Cambridge Hotel and the New Orleans Hotel in January 2012. These increases were partially offset by decreases in revenues at certain of our managed hotels undergoing renovations or rebrandings during the 2012 period which resulted in lower occupancies and the sale of three hotels during the third quarter of 2012. Additional operating statistics of our hotels are included in the table on page 39.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The increase in rental income - hotels is a result of increases in the minimum rents due to us as we funded improvements at certain of our leased hotels since July 1, 2011.

The increase in rental income - travel centers is primarily a result of increases in the minimum rents due to us from TA for improvements we purchased at certain of our travel centers since July 1, 2011. Rental income for the 2012 and 2011 periods includes ($69) and $1,195 of straight line rent, respectively.

FF&E reserve income represents amounts paid by certain of our hotel tenants into restricted accounts owned by us, the purpose of which is to accumulate funds for future capital expenditures. The terms of our hotel leases require these amounts to be calculated as a percentage of total sales at our hotels. The increase in FF&E reserve income is primarily the result of increased levels of sales at our leased hotels during the respective periods of 2012 versus 2011. We do not report the amounts, if any, which are escrowed as FF&E reserves for our managed hotels as FF&E reserve income.

The increase in hotel operating expenses was primarily caused by our hotel acquisitions and increased expenses associated with higher occupancy at certain of our managed hotels, partially offset by operating expense decreases at certain hotels undergoing renovations. Certain of our managed hotel portfolios had net operating results that were, in the aggregate, $20,300 and $6,653, less than the minimum returns due to us in the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. When the shortfalls are funded by the managers of these hotels under the terms of our operating agreements, we reflect such fundings (including security deposit applications) in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income as a reduction of hotel operating expenses. The reduction to operating expenses was $12,791 and $6,653 in the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We had $9,840 of shortfalls not funded by managers during the three months ended September 30, 2012 which represents the unguaranteed portion of our minimum returns from Marriott and from Sonesta.

The increase in depreciation and amortization - hotels is primarily due to the depreciation and amortization of assets acquired with funds from our FF&E reserves or directly funded by us since July 1, 2011 and our hotel acquisitions, partially offset by certain of our depreciable assets becoming fully depreciated since July 1, 2011.

The increase in depreciation and amortization - travel centers is primarily due to the depreciation and amortization of improvements made to our travel centers since July 1, 2011.

The decrease in general and administrative costs is primarily due to a decrease in incentive business management fees partially offset by increased equity compensation expense in the respective periods of 2012 versus 2011.

Acquisition related costs represent legal and other costs incurred in connection with our 2012 hotel acquisition activities.

The decrease in operating income is primarily due to the revenue and expense changes discussed above.

The increase in interest income is due to higher average cash balances during the respective periods of 2012 versus 2011.

The increase in interest expense is primarily due to higher average borrowings, partially offset by lower weighted average interest rates in the 2012 period, compared to the 2011 period.

We recorded a $10,602 gain on sale of real estate in the third quarter of 2012 in connection with the sale of our Marriott hotel in St. Louis, MO in July 2012 and the sales of our Staybridge Suites hotels in Auburn Hills, MI and Schaumburg, IL in August 2012.

Equity in earnings of an investee represents our proportionate share of earnings of AIC.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The decrease in income tax expense is primarily the result of an adjustment to reduce accrued state income taxes during the 2012 period due to a decrease in our estimated 2012 state tax liability partially offset by federal taxes related to our TRS that leases the New Orleans Hotel acquired on January 31, 2012.

We reduced net income available for common shareholders for the three months ended September 30, 2012, by $5,040, which represents the amount by which the liquidation preference for our Series C cumulative redeemable preferred shares that were redeemed in September 2012 exceeded our carrying amount for those preferred shares as of the date of redemption.

The increase in preferred distributions is the result of our issuance of 11,600,000 shares of our 7.125% Series D cumulative redeemable preferred shares in January 2012, partially offset by our redemption of 3,450,000 shares of our 8.875% Series B cumulative redeemable preferred shares in February 2012 and our redemption of 6,000,000 shares of our 7.00% Series C cumulative redeemable preferred shares in September 2012.

The decreases in net income, net income available for common shareholders and net income available for common shareholders per common share in the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to the prior year period, are primarily a result of the changes discussed above.

References to changes in the income and expense categories below relate to the comparison of consolidated results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 compared with the nine month period ended September 30, 2011.

The increase in hotel operating revenues in the first nine months of 2012 compared to the first nine months of 2011 was caused primarily by increased revenues at certain of our managed hotels due to increases in ADR and higher occupancies, the conversion of 19 hotels from leased to managed properties in June 2011 and our hotel acquisitions as described above. These increases were partially offset by decreases in revenues at certain of our managed hotels undergoing renovations or rebrandings during the 2012 period which resulted in lower occupancies. Additional operating statistics of our hotels are included in the table on page 39.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The decrease in rental income - hotels is a result of the conversion of the 19 hotels from leased to managed in June 2011 as described above, partially offset by increases in the minimum rents due to us as we funded improvements at certain of our leased hotels since January 1, 2011.

The increase in rental income - travel centers is primarily a result of increases in the minimum rents due to us from TA for improvements we purchased at certain of our travel centers since January 1, 2011. Rental income for the 2012 and 2011 periods includes $218 and $3,594 of straight line rent, respectively.

The decrease in FF&E reserve income is primarily the result of the conversion of the 19 hotels from leased to managed in June 2011 as described above, partially offset by increased levels of sales at our leased hotels in the respective periods of 2012 versus 2011.

The increase in hotel operating expenses was primarily caused by the conversion of the 19 hotels from leased to managed in June 2011 as described above, our hotel acquisitions and increased expenses associated with higher occupancy at certain of our managed hotels, partially offset by operating expense decreases at certain hotels undergoing renovations. Certain of our managed hotel portfolios had net operating results that were, in the aggregate, $46,697 and $37,875 less than the minimum returns due to us in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. When the shortfalls are funded by the managers of these hotels under the terms of our operating agreements, we reflect such fundings (including security deposit applications) in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income as a reduction to hotel operating expenses. The reduction to operating expenses was $30,483 and $37,875 in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We had $16,210 of shortfalls not funded by managers during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 which represents the unguaranteed portion of our minimum returns from Marriott and from Sonesta.

The increase in depreciation and amortization - hotels is primarily due to the depreciation and amortization of assets acquired with funds from our FF&E reserves or directly funded by us since January 1, 2011 and our hotel acquisitions, partially offset by certain of our depreciable assets becoming fully depreciated since January 1, 2011.

The increase in depreciation and amortization - travel centers is primarily due to the depreciation and amortization of improvements made to our travel centers since January 1, 2011.

The increase in general and administrative costs is primarily due to increased business management fees, franchise taxes and professional services expense in the respective periods of 2012 versus 2011.

Acquisition related costs represent legal and other costs incurred in connection with our hotel acquisition activities in 2012.

We recorded an $889 loss on asset impairment in the first quarter of 2012 in connection with our decision to remove 20 Marriott branded hotels from held for sale status. We recorded a $7,263 loss on asset impairment in the second quarter of 2011 in connection with our consideration of selling certain InterContinental and Marriott hotels.

The decrease in operating income is primarily due to the revenue and expense changes discussed above.

The increase in interest income is due to higher average cash balances during the respective periods of 2012 versus 2011.

The increase in interest expense is primarily due to higher average borrowings partially offset by lower weighted average interest rates in the 2012 period, compared to the 2011 period.

We recorded a $10,602 gain on sale of real estate in the third quarter of 2012 in connection with the sale of our Marriott hotel in St. Louis, MO in July 2012 and the sale of our Staybridge Suites hotels in Auburn Hills, MI and Schaumburg, IL in August 2012.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Equity in earnings of an investee represents our proportionate share of earnings of AIC.

The increase in income tax expense is primarily the result of an increase in state income taxes as a result of higher taxable income in certain states in the 2012 period compared to the 2011 period and federal taxes related to our TRS that leases the New Orleans Hotel acquired on January 31, 2012.

We reduced net income available for common shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, by an aggregate of $7,984, which represented the amount by which the liquidation preference for our Series B cumulative redeemable preferred shares that were redeemed in February 2012 and for our Series C cumulative redeemable preferred shares that were redeemed in September 2012 exceeded our carrying amount for those preferred shares as of the date of redemption.

The increase in preferred distributions is the result of our issuance of 11,600,000 of our 7.125% Series D cumulative redeemable preferred shares in January 2012, partially offset by our redemption of 3,450,000 of our 8.875% Series B cumulative redeemable preferred shares in February 2012 and our redemption of 6,000,000 of our 7.00% Series C cumulative redeemable preferred shares in September 2012.

The decreases in net income, net income available for common shareholders and net income available for common shareholders per common share in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 are primarily a result of the changes discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (dollar amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)

Our Managers and Tenants

As of September 30, 2012, all 472 of our properties were operated under 11 management agreements or leases.  All costs of operating and maintaining our properties are paid by the hotel managers as agents for us or by our tenants for their own account. Our hotel managers and tenants derive their funding for property operating expenses, and returns and rents due to us, generally from property operating revenues and, to the extent that these parties themselves fund our minimum returns and minimum rents, from their separate resources.  Our hotel managers include Marriott, InterContinental, Hyatt, Carlson, Sonesta and Wyndham.  Our travel centers are leased to TA.

We define coverage for each of our hotel management agreements or leases as total property level revenues minus all property level expenses which are not subordinated to the minimum returns and minimum rents due to us divided by the minimum returns or minimum rent payments due to us. More detail regarding coverage, guarantees and other features of our hotel operating agreements is presented in the tables on pages 35 and 36.  During the twelve months ended September 30, 2012, eight of our nine hotel operating agreements generated coverage of less than 1.0x (0.40x to 0.94x); our Sonesta No. 2 agreement generated coverage of 2.04x during the twelve months ended September 30, 2012.

We define coverage for our travel center leases as property level revenues minus all property level expenses divided by the minimum rent payments due to us.  During the twelve months ended September 30, 2012, the operating results from our 185 properties in our two travel center leases generated coverage of 1.71x.  Because a large percentage of TA’s business is conducted at properties leased from us, property level rent coverage may not be an appropriate way to evaluate TA’s ability to pay rents due to us.  We believe property level rent coverage is nonetheless one useful indicator of the performance and value of our properties as we believe it is what an operator interested to acquire these properties or the leaseholds might use to evaluate the contribution of these properties to their earnings before corporate level expenses.

Three hundred seven (307) of our properties, representing 63% of our total investments at cost as of September 30, 2012, are operated under seven management arrangements or leases which are subject to full or limited guarantees.  Our minimum returns and minimum rents for certain of our hotels are secured by security deposits which we control.  These guarantees may provide us with continued payments if the property level cash flows fail to equal or exceed guaranteed or secured amounts due to us. Some of our managers and tenants, or their affiliates, may also supplement cash flow

28

HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES TRUST

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

from our properties in order to make payments to us and preserve their rights to continue operating our properties even if they are not required to do so by guarantees. Guarantee payments, security deposit applications or supplemental payments to us, if any, made under any of our management agreements or leases do not subject us to repayment obligations, but, under some of our agreements, the manager or tenant may recover these guarantee or supplemental payments and the security deposits may be replenished from the future cash flows from our properties after our future minimum returns and minimum rents are paid.

As described above, certain of our agreements are generating cash flows that are less than the minimum amounts contractually required and we have been utilizing the security features in our agreements to cover these shortfalls.  However, several of the guarantees and all the security deposits we hold are for limited amounts and are for limited durations and may be exhausted or expire, especially if the U.S. economy does not fully recover from the recent recession in a reasonable time period or if our hotel renovation and rebranding activities described above do not result in improved operating results at these hotels.  Accordingly, the effectiveness of our various security features to provide uninterrupted payments to us is not assured.  If any of our hotel managers, tenants or guarantors default in their payment obligations to us, our cash flows will decline.

Our Operating Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal source of funds for current expenses and distributions to shareholders are minimum returns from our managed hotels and minimum rents from our leased hotels and travel centers. We receive minimum returns and minimum rents from our managers and tenants monthly. We receive additional returns, percentage returns and rents and our share of the operating profits of our managed hotels after payment of management fees and other deductions, if any, either monthly or quarterly. This flow of funds has historically been sufficient for us to pay our operating expenses, interest expense on our debt and distributions to shareholders declared by our Board of Trustees. We believe that our operating cash flow will be sufficient to meet our operating expenses, interest expense and distribution payments declared by our Board of Trustees for the next twelve months and the foreseeable future thereafter.  However, because of the impact of the weak U.S. economy on the hotel and travel center industries, our managers and tenants may be unable to pay minimum returns and minimum rents to us when due, in which case our cash flow and net income will decline and we may need to reduce the amount of, or even eliminate, our distributions to common shareholders.

Changes in our cash flows in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 were as follows: (1) cash flow provided by operating activities increased from $248,728 in 2011 to $264,662 in 2012; (2) cash used in investing activities increased from $18,824 in 2011 to $379,037 in 2012; and (3) cash provided by (used in) financing activities increased from ($228,299) in 2011 to $123,196 in 2012.

The increase in cash provided by operating activities between the 2012 and 2011 periods is due primarily to a reduction in the application of security deposits to fund payment shortfalls in 2012, the increase in rental income we received related to our TA leases, and income from our hotel acquisitions. The increase in cash used in investing activities is primarily due to our January 2012 hotel acquisitions and our purchases in 2012 of improvements under our TA, InterContinental and Marriott No. 234 agreements.  The net increase in cash provided by financing activities between the 2012 and 2011 periods is primarily a result of the issuance of our 5.00% senior notes due 2022 and our Series D preferred shares and proceeds from our unsecured term loan in 2012, partially offset by the redemption of our Series B preferred shares and some of our Series C preferred shares, the repayment of our 6.85% and 6.75% senior notes and the repurchase of certain of our 3.8% convertible senior notes in 2012.

We maintain our status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code by meeting certain requirements. As a REIT, we do not expect to pay federal income taxes on the majority of our income. Federal legislation known as the REIT Modernization Act, among other things, allows a REIT to lease hotels to a TRS if the hotel is managed by an independent third party. The income realized by our TRSs in excess of the rent they pay to us is subject to U.S. federal income tax at corporate tax rates.  The income we receive from our hotels in Canada and Puerto Rico is subject to taxes in those jurisdictions and we are subject to taxes in certain states where we have properties.  Our provision for tax expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased by $2,720 primarily because of higher state taxes imposed despite our tax status as a REIT and despite our

29

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

TRS tax loss carry forwards and federal taxes related to our TRS that leases the New Orleans Hotel that we acquired on January 31, 2012.

Our Investment and Financing Liquidity and Capital Resources

Various percentages of total sales at some of our hotels are escrowed as FF&E reserves to fund future capital improvements. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, our hotel managers and hotel tenants contributed $17,452 to these accounts and $101,381 was spent from the FF&E reserve escrow accounts and from separate payments by us to renovate and refurbish our hotels.  As of September 30, 2012, there was $38,919 on deposit in these escrow accounts, which was held directly by us and is reflected on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as restricted cash.

Our hotel operating agreements generally provide that, if necessary, we may provide our managers and tenants with funding for capital improvements to our hotels in excess of amounts otherwise available in escrowed FF&E reserves or when no FF&E reserves are available. To the extent we make such additional fundings, our annual minimum returns or minimum rents generally increase by a percentage of the amount we fund. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we funded $214,189 for capital improvements in excess of FF&E reserve fundings available from hotel operations to our hotels as follows:

·During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we funded $508 for improvements to hotels included in our Marriott No. 1 agreement using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.  We currently do not expect to make significant fundings for capital improvements under this agreement during the remainder of 2012.

·Pursuant to the June 2011 and May 2012 agreements we entered with Marriott for management of 68 hotels (Marriott No. 234), we agreed to provide approximately $145,000 of funding from 2011 through 2013 for renovations of certain of these hotels and for other improvements.  As of September 30, 2012, $64,500 has been funded.  We funded $59,500 of this amount during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 using existing cash balances and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.  We currently expect to fund approximately $26,000 during the remainder of 2012 using existing cash balances or borrowings under our revolving credit facility.  As we fund these improvements, the minimum return payable to us increases.

·Pursuant to the July 2011 agreement we entered with InterContinental for management of 91 hotels, we have agreed to provide approximately $290,000 of funding from 2011 through 2013 for renovations of certain of these hotels and other improvements.  As of September 30, 2012, $168,955 has been funded.  We funded $130,317 of this amount during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 using existing cash balances and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.  We currently expect to fund approximately $67,000 during the remainder of 2012, using existing cash balances or borrowings under our revolving credit facility.  As we fund these improvements, the minimum return payable to us increases.

·Our Sonesta management agreements do not require FF&E escrow deposits.  Under our Sonesta No. 1 agreement, we are required to fund capital expenditures made at our hotels.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we funded $546 for capital expenditures under this agreement.  During the second and third quarters of 2012, we rebranded as Sonesta hotels 17 hotels that we own that had been managed by InterContinental and two hotels that we own that had been managed by Marriott.  We currently expect to fund between $130,000 and $150,000 for rebranding, renovations and other improvements to these 19 hotels.  We funded $7,154 of this amount during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 using existing cash balances and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.  We currently expect to fund approximately $5,000 during the remainder of 2012 using existing cash balances or borrowings under our revolving credit facility.  As we fund improvements pursuant to our Sonesta No. 1 agreement, the minimum returns payable to us increase to the extent amounts funded exceed threshold amounts, as defined.

·We lease the New Orleans Hotel, which is under our Sonesta No. 2 agreement, from a third party. The annual rent payable by us under the lease is calculated as 75% of the sum of the net profit of the hotel, as defined, less capital expenditures made during the lease year.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we funded $3,552 of capital expenditures from hotel net profits.  We currently expect to fund approximately $700 during the remainder of 2012 from this hotel’s net profits.

·Pursuant to the May 2012 agreement we entered with Wyndham to rebrand 20 hotels we own and that had been managed by InterContinental to brands owned by Wyndham, we agreed to provide up to $75,000 for refurbishment and rebranding of these 20 hotels to “Wyndham Hotels and Resorts” and “Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham” brand standards.  We funded $5,514 of this amount during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 using existing cash balances or borrowings under our revolving credit facility.  As described in Note 12, we have agreed to provide up to $18,000 for the rebranding and renovation of the hotel we acquired on November 1, 2012 that is included in our Wyndham agreement.  We currently expect to fund approximately $10,000 under this agreement during the remainder of 2012, using existing cash balances or borrowings under our revolving credit facility.  As we fund these improvements, the minimum return payable to us increases.

·In 2008, we sold a hotel that was included in our agreement with Carlson for net proceeds of $7,644.  In lieu of a decrease in the annual minimum return under the agreement when this hotel was sold, the net proceeds were to be used to fund the acquisition of a replacement hotel for the portfolio.  We subsequently agreed that the net proceeds were instead to be used to fund certain improvements to the remaining hotels in the agreement and we transferred the net sales proceeds to the Carlson FF&E reserve account in the third quarter of 2012.

In November 2010, Host notified us that it will not exercise its renewal option at the end of the current lease term for 53 Courtyard hotels which we have historically referred to as our Marriott No. 1 agreement.  Assuming that Host does not default on its contractual obligations to us, upon expiration of this agreement on December 31, 2012, we expect to return the $50,540 security deposit to Host. We currently expect to fund the return of this security deposit using existing cash balances or borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

Our travel center leases with TA do not require FF&E escrow deposits.  However, TA is required to maintain the leased travel centers, including structural and non-structural components.  Under both of our leases with TA, TA may request that we purchase qualifying capital improvements to the leased facilities in return for minimum rent increases.  We funded $48,288 for purchases of capital improvements under this lease provision during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and currently expect to fund approximately $55,000 for purchases of capital improvements to our travel center properties during the remainder of 2012, using existing cash balances or borrowings under our revolving credit facility.  However, TA is not obligated to request and we are not obligated to purchase any such improvements.

On January 17, 2012, we paid a $0.5546875 per share distribution to our Series B preferred shareholders with respect to the period ended January 14, 2012.  We funded this distribution using existing cash balances and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

On each of February 15, 2012, May 15, 2012 and August 15, 2012, we paid a $0.4375 per share distribution to our Series C preferred shareholders with respect to the periods ended February 14, 2012, May 14, 2012 and August 14, 2012, respectively.  We funded these distributions using existing cash balances and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.  On October 1, 2012, we declared a $0.4375 per share distribution to our Series C preferred shareholders of record on October 31, 2012, with respect to the period ending November 14, 2012. We expect to pay this amount on or about November 15, 2012 using existing cash balances and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

On April 16, 2012, July 16, 2012 and October 15, 2012, we paid a $0.43046875, $0.4453125 and $0.4453125 per share distribution to our Series D preferred shareholders with respect to the periods ended April 14, 2012, July 14, 2012 and October 14, 2012, respectively. We paid these distributions using existing cash balances and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

On each of February 23, 2012, May 24, 2012 and August 22, 2012, we paid a $0.45 per share distribution to our common shareholders.  We funded these distributions using existing cash balances and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.  On October 9, 2012, we declared a $0.47 per share distribution to our common shareholders of record on October 22, 2012.  We expect to pay this amount on or about November 21, 2012 using existing cash balances and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

In January 2012, we sold 11,600,000 7.125% Series D cumulative redeemable preferred shares at $25.00 per share in a public offering.  We used the net proceeds from this sale (approximately $280,108 after underwriting and other offering expenses) to repay amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility and to fund the Sonesta hotel acquisitions described below.

On February 13, 2012, we redeemed all of our 3,450,000 outstanding of 8.875% Series B cumulative redeemable preferred shares at the stated liquidation preference price of $25.00 per share ($86,250) plus accrued and unpaid distributions to the date of redemption.  We funded this redemption using existing cash balances and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

On March 12, 2012, we entered into a five year $400,000 unsecured term loan.  Our term loan matures on March 13, 2017 and is prepayable without penalty at any time.  The amount outstanding under our term loan bears interest at LIBOR plus a spread that is subject to adjustment based upon changes to our credit ratings.  As of September 30, 2012, the interest rate payable on the amount outstanding under our term loan was 1.68%.  We used the net proceeds of the term loan to repay amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility and as described below, to repurchase some of our 3.8% convertible senior notes due 2027, to redeem our 6.85% senior notes due 2012 and for general business purposes.

On March 20, 2012, we repurchased at par plus accrued and unpaid interest $70,576 of our 3.8% convertible senior notes due 2027 which were tendered by the holders for repurchase by us using cash on hand, including the proceeds from our unsecured term loan described above.

On April 11, 2012, we redeemed at par plus accrued and unpaid interest all of our outstanding 6.85% senior notes due 2012 ($102,479 in total).  We funded this redemption using cash on hand, including the proceeds from our unsecured term loan described above.

On August 16, 2012, we issued $500,000 of 5.00% senior notes due 2022 in a public offering.  Net proceeds from this offering ($487,946 after underwriting and other offering expenses) were used to redeem all of our outstanding 6.75% senior notes due 2013 and 6,000,000 of our 12,700,000 outstanding 7% Series C cumulative redeemable preferred shares as described below.

On September 10, 2012, we redeemed 6,000,000 of our 12,700,000 outstanding 7% Series C cumulative redeemable preferred shares at the stated liquidation price of $25.00 per share ($150,000) plus accrued and unpaid distributions to the date of redemption.  We funded this redemption using cash on hand, including the proceeds from our $500,000 senior notes offering described above.

On September 10, 2012, we redeemed at par all of our outstanding 6.75% senior notes due 2013 for $287,000 plus accrued and unpaid interest.  We funded this redemption using cash on hand, including the proceeds from our $500,000 senior notes offering described above.

In January 2012, we purchased the Cambridge Hotel and the New Orleans Hotel for $153,062 ($150,500 cash consideration and $2,562 of assumed net liabilities), excluding acquisition costs, using cash on hand, including the proceeds from the issuance of our Series D preferred shares discussed above and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

In July 2012, we sold our Marriott branded hotel in St. Louis, MO for net proceeds of $28,850.  Net proceeds from the sale were used for general business purposes, including the funding of renovations at certain hotels.

32

HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES TRUST

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

In August 2012, we sold our Staybridge Suites branded, limited service hotels located in Schaumburg, IL and Auburn Hills, MI for aggregate net proceeds of $5,354.  Net proceeds from the sales were used for general business purposes, including the funding of renovations at certain hotels.

On November 1, 2012, we acquired a full service hotel in Chicago, IL for $85,000, excluding acquisition costs, using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

In order to fund capital improvements to our properties and acquisitions and to meet cash needs that may result from timing differences between our receipt of returns and rents and our desire or need to pay operating expenses, debt service and distributions, we maintain a $750,000 revolving credit facility.  The maturity date of our revolving credit facility is September 7, 2015 and, subject to the payment of an extension fee and meeting certain other conditions, we have the option to extend the facility for one year to September 7, 2016.  Borrowings under our revolving credit facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a spread that is subject to adjustment based upon changes to our credit ratings.  We may draw, repay and redraw funds until maturity, and no principal repayment is due until maturity.

There have been recent governmental inquiries regarding the setting of LIBOR, which may result in changes to that process that may have the effect of increasing LIBOR.  Increases in LIBOR would increase the amount of interest we pay under our revolving credit facility and our unsecured term loan.

Our term debt maturities (other than our revolving credit facility) as of September 30, 2012 were as follows: $300,000 in 2014, $280,000 in 2015, $275,000 in 2016, $700,000 in 2017, $350,000 in 2018, $500,000 in 2022 and $8,478 in 2027. Our $8,478 of 3.8% convertible senior notes due 2027 are convertible into our common shares, if certain conditions are met (including certain changes in control), into cash equal to the principal amount of the notes and, to the extent the market price of our common shares exceeds the exchange price of $50.50 per share, subject to adjustment, either cash or our common shares at our option with a value based on such excess amount. Holders of our convertible senior notes may require us to repurchase all or a portion of the notes on March 15, 2017 and March 15, 2022, or upon the occurrence of certain change in control events.

None of our other debt obligations require principal or sinking fund payments prior to their maturity dates.

At September 30, 2012, we had $17,124 of cash and cash equivalents and $750,000 available to borrow under our revolving credit facility.  We expect to use existing cash balances, the cash flow from our operations, borrowings under our revolving credit facility and net proceeds of offerings of equity or debt securities to fund future debt maturities, property acquisitions and other general business purposes.

When significant amounts are outstanding for an extended period of time under our revolving credit facility and as the maturity dates of our revolving credit facility and term debts approach, we currently expect to explore alternatives for the repayment of amounts due or renewal or extension of the maturity dates.  Such alternatives in the short term and long term may include incurring additional debt and issuing new equity securities.  We have an effective shelf registration statement that allows us to issue public securities on an expedited basis, but it does not assure that there will be buyers for such securities.

While we believe we will have access to various types of financings, including debt or equity, to fund our future acquisitions and to pay our debts and other obligations, there can be no assurance that we will be able to complete any debt or equity offerings or that our cost of any future public or private financings will be reasonable.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2012, we had no off balance sheet arrangements that have had or that we expect would be reasonably likely to have a future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

33

HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES TRUST

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Debt Covenants

Our debt obligations at September 30, 2012, consist of our revolving credit facility, our $400,000 unsecured term loan and $2,013,478 of publicly issued unsecured term debt and convertible notes. Our publicly issued unsecured term debt and convertible notes are governed by an indenture. This indenture and related supplements and our revolving credit facility and term loan agreements contain a number of financial ratio covenants which generally restrict our ability to incur debts, including debts secured by mortgages on our properties, in excess of calculated amounts, require us to maintain a minimum net worth, restrict our ability to make distributions under certain circumstances and require us to maintain various financial ratios. As of September 30, 2012, we believe we were in compliance with all of our covenants under our indenture and its supplements and our revolving credit facility and term loan agreements.

Neither our indenture and its supplements nor our revolving credit facility and term loan agreements contain provisions for acceleration which could be triggered by our debt ratings. However, under our revolving credit facility and term loan agreements, our highest senior unsecured debt rating is used to determine the fees and interest rates we pay.  Accordingly, if that debt rating is downgraded by certain credit rating agencies, our interest expense and related costs under our revolving credit facility and term loan would increase.

Our public debt indenture and its supplements contain cross default provisions to any other debts of $20,000 or more. Similarly, our revolving credit facility agreement and term loan agreement have cross default provisions to other indebtedness that is recourse of $25,000 or more and indebtedness that is non-recourse of $75,000 or more.

Management Agreements, Leases and Operating Statistics (dollar amounts in thousands)

As of September 30, 2012, we owned or leased 287 hotels and 185 travel centers under 11 management agreements or leases. Our hotels are managed by or leased to separate affiliates of hotel operating companies including InterContinental, Marriott, Host, Hyatt, Carlson, Sonesta and Wyndham under nine agreements. Our 185 travel centers are leased to and operated by TA under two lease agreements.

The tables on the following pages summarize significant terms of our leases and management agreements as of September 30, 2012, and include statistics reported to us or derived from information reported to us by our managers and tenants. These statistics include coverage of our minimum returns or minimum rents and occupancy, ADR and RevPAR for our hotel properties. We consider these statistics, and the management agreement or lease security features also presented in the tables on the following pages, to be important measures of our managers’ and tenants’ success in operating our properties and their ability to continue to pay us. However, none of this third party reported information is a direct measure of our financial performance and we have not independently verified this data.

Notes to Summary of Operating Agreements

(1)In July 2012, we completed the sale of our Marriott branded hotel in St. Louis, MO for net proceeds of $28,850.  In August 2012, two hotels were removed from this agreement and converted to Sonesta brands and management for inclusion in our Sonesta No. 1 agreement.  Our annual minimum returns due under this agreement decreased by an aggregate of $3,587 as a result of removing or selling these three hotels.  The information in this table related to our Marriott No. 234 agreement excludes these three hotels.

(2)During the second and third quarters of 2012, 17 hotels were removed from this agreement and converted to Sonesta brands and management for inclusion in our Sonesta No. 1 agreement.   On August 1, 2012, 20 hotels were removed from this agreement and converted to Wyndham brands and management.  In August 2012, two hotels were removed from this agreement and we sold them to affiliates of RMR.  Our annual minimum returns under this agreement decreased by an aggregate of $34,990 as a result of removing these 39 hotels.  The information provided in this table related to our InterContinental agreement excludes these 39 hotels.

(3)Represents historical cost of properties plus capital improvements funded by us and includes impairment writedowns, if any, and excludes capital improvements made from FF&E reserves funded from hotel operations.

(4)The original amount of this security deposit was $64,700.  As of September 30, 2012, we have fully exhausted this security deposit covering shortfalls in the payments of our minimum return.  This security deposit may be replenished from future cash flows from these hotels.

(5)The original amount of this security deposit was $73,872.  As of September 30, 2012, we have applied $35,545 of the security deposit to cover deficiencies in the minimum returns and rent paid by InterContinental for this agreement. As of September 30, 2012, the balance of this security deposit was $38,327.  This security deposit may be replenished and increased up to $100,000 from future cash flows from these hotels.

(6)Renewal options may be exercised by the manager or tenant for all, but not less than all, of the properties within each combination of properties.

(7)In November 2010, Host notified us that it will not exercise its renewal option at the end of the current lease term.  Assuming no default by Host, upon expiration of the agreement on December 31, 2012, we expect to return the $50,540 security deposit to Host, to lease the hotels to one of our TRSs and to continue the existing hotel brand and management agreements with Marriott with respect to these hotels; this management agreement with Marriott expires in 2024.  The renewal options presented are Marriott’s options related to its management agreement.

(8)Each management agreement or lease provides for payment to us of an annual minimum return or minimum rent, respectively. Management fees are partially or wholly subordinated to these minimum payment amounts and certain minimum payments are subject to full or limited guarantees.

(9)The rent payable to us under the lease is subject to annual adjustment based in part upon changes in the consumer price index.

(10)This management agreement provides for payment to us of 62.5% of available cash flow after payment of hotel operating expenses, funding of the required FF&E reserve, if any, payment of our minimum return, payment of certain management fees and replenishment of the security deposit.

(11)This management agreement provides for an annual additional return payment to us of the amount stated to the extent of available cash flow after payment of hotel operating expenses, funding of the required FF&E reserve, if any, payment of our minimum return, payment of certain management fees and replenishment and expansion of the security deposit.  In addition, the agreement provides for payment to us of 50% of the available cash flow after payment to us of the annual additional return amount.  The stated amounts of additional return are not guaranteed or secured by deposits.

(12)This management agreement provides for payment to us of 50% of available cash flow after payment of operating expenses, funding the FF&E reserve, payment of our minimum return and reimbursement to the managers of working capital and guaranty advances, if any.

(13)This lease agreement provides for payment to us of percentage rent based on increases in total sales over base year levels.

(14)We define coverage as total property level revenues minus all property level expenses which are not subordinated to minimum returns and minimum rent payments to us (which data is provided to us by our managers or tenants), divided by the minimum returns or minimum rent payments due to us.  Coverage amounts for our Sonesta No. 1 and No. 2 agreements include data for periods prior to our ownership for certain hotels and includes data for periods certain rebranded hotels were not operated by Sonesta.

(15)As of September 30, 2012, the available Marriott guaranty was $30,873.

(16)As of September 30, 2012, the available Hyatt guaranty was $18,141.

(17)At September 30, 2012, the available Carlson guaranty was $24,130.

(20)As described in note 2 above, we removed 20 hotels from the InterContinental agreement and converted them to Wyndham brands and management effective August 1, 2012.  On November 1, 2012, we acquired the Hotel 71, a full service hotel in Chicago, IL for $85,000, excluding closing costs, and added it to this agreement.  We plan to convert this hotel to the “Wyndham Grand Riverfront” and upon completion of a planned renovation, the property will consist of 348 hotel rooms managed by Wyndham and 48 vacation units leased to Wyndham Vacation Resorts, Inc., a subsidiary of Wyndham Worldwide Corporation.  Upon completion of the November 1, 2012 purchase, our annual minimum return under this agreement increased by $5,800 and it will increase further as we fund purchases of improvements to the Chicago hotel.  The lease with Wyndham Vacation Resorts, Inc. provides for annual initial rent to us of $1,000 plus annual escalation of 3% per annum.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Seasonality

Our hotels and travel centers have historically experienced seasonal differences typical of their industries with higher revenues in the second and third quarters of calendar years compared with the first and fourth quarters. This seasonality is not expected to cause material fluctuations in our income or cash flow because most of our management agreements and leases require our managers and tenants to make the substantial portion of our return payments and rents to us in equal amounts throughout a year. Seasonality may affect our hotel operating revenues and our net cash flows from our Sonesta managed hotels, but we do not expect seasonal variations to have a material impact upon our financial results of operations or upon our managers’ or tenants’ ability to meet their contractual obligations to us.

Related Person Transactions

We have relationships and historical and continuing transactions with our Trustees, our executive officers, RMR, TA, Sonesta, AIC and other companies to which RMR provides management services and others affiliated with or related to them.  For example, we have no employees and personnel and various services we require to operate our business are provided to us by RMR pursuant to management agreements; and RMR is owned by our Managing Trustees.  Also, as a further example, we have or had relationships with other companies to which RMR provides management services and which have trustees, directors and officers who are also trustees, directors or officers of ours or RMR or with entities affiliated with RMR, including:  TA is our former subsidiary and our largest tenant and we are TA’s largest shareholder; we acquired two hotels from Sonesta and Sonesta manages these hotels and others for our TRSs; we have recently sold two hotels to affiliates of RMR; we, RMR, TA and five other companies to which RMR provides management services each currently own 12.5% of AIC, an Indiana insurance company, and we and the other shareholders of AIC have property insurance in place providing $500,000 of coverage pursuant to an insurance program arranged by AIC and with respect to which AIC is a reinsurer of certain coverage amounts.  For further information about these and other such relationships and related person transactions, please see Note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference.  In addition, for more information about these related persons transactions and relationships, please see elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including “Warning Concerning Forward Looking Statements,” and our 2011 Annual Report, our Proxy Statement, our Current Reports on Forms 8-K dated April 23, 2012, May 30, 2012, June 12, 2012, July 6, 2012, July 16, 2012 and July 25, 2012, and our other filings with the SEC, including Note 8 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2011 Annual Report, the sections captioned “Business” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Related Person Transactions” in Part I, Item 2, “Warning Concerning Forward Looking Statements” in Part I, and “Other Information” in Part II, Item 5 in our June 2012 Quarterly Report, and the section captioned “Related Person Transactions and Company Review of Such Transactions” and the information regarding our Trustees and executive officers in our Proxy Statement.  In addition, please see the section captioned “Risk Factors” of our 2011 Annual Report for a description of risks that may arise from these transactions and relationships.  Our filings with the SEC, including our June 2012 Quarterly Report, our 2011 Annual Report and our Proxy Statement, are available at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.  Copies of certain of our agreements with these related parties, including our business management agreement and property management agreement with RMR, various agreements we have with TA and Sonesta, our purchase and sale agreements with affiliates of RMR and our shareholders agreement with AIC and its shareholders, are also publicly available as exhibits to our public filings with the SEC and accessible at the SEC’s website.

We believe that our agreements with RMR and its affiliates, TA, Sonesta and AIC are on commercially reasonable terms.  We also believe that our relationships with RMR, TA, Sonesta and AIC and their affiliated and related persons and entities benefit us, and, in fact, provide us with competitive advantages in operating and growing our business.

Non-GAAP Measures

We provide below calculations of our funds from operations, or FFO, and normalized funds from operations, or Normalized FFO, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.  We believe that this data may facilitate an understanding of our consolidated historical operating results.  These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income, operating income and cash flow from operating activities as presented in our Condensed

40

HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES TRUST

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow.  These measures do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income, net income available to common shareholders or cash flow from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP, or as indicators of our financial performance or liquidity, nor are these measures necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of our needs.  Other REITs and real estate companies may calculate FFO and Normalized FFO differently than we do.

Funds From Operations and Normalized Funds From Operations

We calculate FFO and Normalized FFO as shown below.  FFO is calculated on the basis defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, which is net income, calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding any gain or loss on sale of properties and impairment of assets, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, as well as other adjustments currently not applicable to us.  Our calculation of Normalized FFO differs from NAREIT’s definition of FFO because we include estimated percentage rent in the period it relates to rather than when it is recognized as income in accordance with GAAP and exclude excess of liquidation preference over carrying value of preferred shares and acquisition related costs. We consider FFO and Normalized FFO to be appropriate measures of performance for a REIT, along with net income, net income available to common shareholders, operating income and cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities.  We believe that FFO and Normalized FFO provide useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical amounts, such as depreciation expense, FFO and Normalized FFO can facilitate a comparison of our operating performance between periods.  FFO and Normalized FFO are among the factors considered by our Board of Trustees when determining the amount of distributions to our shareholders.  Other factors include, but are not limited to, requirements to maintain our status as a REIT, limitations in our revolving credit facility, term loan and public debt covenants, the availability of debt and equity capital to us, our expectation of our future capital requirements and operating performance and our expected needs and availability of cash to pay our obligations.

Our calculations of FFO and Normalized FFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 and reconciliations of FFO and Normalized FFO to net income available for common shareholders, the most directly comparable financial measure under GAAP reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements, appear in the following table.

(1)We recorded an $889, or $0.01 per share, loss on asset impairment in the first quarter of 2012 in connection with our decision to remove 20 Marriott branded hotels from held for sale status.  We recorded a $7,263, or $0.06 per share, loss on asset impairment in the second quarter of 2011 in connection with our consideration of selling certain InterContinental and Marriott hotels.

(2)We recorded a $10,602, or $0.09 per share, gain on sale of real estate in the third quarter of 2012 in connection with the sales of our Marriott hotel in St. Louis, MO and our Staybridge Suites hotels in Auburn Hills, MI and Schaumburg, IL.

(3)In calculating net income in accordance with GAAP, we recognize percentage rental income received for the first, second and third quarters in the fourth quarter, which is when all contingencies have been met and the income is earned. Although we defer recognition of this revenue until the fourth quarter for purposes of calculating net income, we include these estimated amounts in the calculation of Normalized FFO for each quarter of the year. The fourth quarter Normalized FFO calculation excludes the amounts recognized during the first three quarters.

(5)On February 13, 2012, we redeemed all of our outstanding Series B Preferred Shares at their liquidation preference of $25 per share, plus accumulated and unpaid distributions. The liquidation preference of the redeemed shares exceeded our carrying amount for the redeemed shares as of the date of redemption by $2,944, and we reduced net income available to common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2012, by that excess amount.  On September 10, 2012, we redeemed 6,000,000 of our Series C Preferred Shares at their liquidation preference of $25 per share, plus accumulated and unpaid distributions. The liquidation preference of the redeemed shares exceeded our carrying amount for the redeemed shares as of the date of redemption by $5,040, and we reduced net income available to common shareholders for the three months ended September 30, 2012, by that excess amount.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk (dollar amounts in thousands)

We are exposed to risks associated with market changes in interest rates. We manage our exposure to this market risk by monitoring available financing alternatives. Our strategy to manage exposure to changes in interest rates has not materially changed since December 31, 2011. Other than as described below, we do not foresee any significant changes in our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates or in how we manage this exposure in the near future.

As of September 30, 2012, our outstanding publicly tradable debt consisted of six issues of fixed rate, senior unsecured notes and one issue of fixed rate, convertible senior notes:

Principal Balance		Annual Interest Rate	Annual Interest Expense		Maturity	Interest Payments Due
$	300,000	7.875%	$	23,625	2014	Semi-Annually
280,000		5.125%	14,350		2015	Semi-Annually
275,000		6.300%	17,325		2016	Semi-Annually
300,000		5.625%	16,875		2017	Semi-Annually
350,000		6.700%	23,450		2018	Semi-Annually
500,000		5.000%	25,000		2022	Semi-Annually
8,478		3.800%	322		2027(1)	Semi-Annually
$	2,013,478		$	120,947

(1) The convertible senior notes are convertible, if certain conditions are met (including certain changes in control), into cash equal to the principal amount of the notes and, to the extent the market price of our common shares exceeds the initial exchange price of $50.50 per share, subject to adjustment, either cash or our common shares at our option with a value based on such excess amount. Holders of our convertible senior notes may require us to repurchase all or a portion of the notes on March 15, 2017 and March 15, 2022, or upon the occurrence of certain change in control events.

Except as described in Note 1 to the table above, no principal repayments are due under these notes until maturity. Because these notes bear interest at fixed rates, changes in market interest rates during the term of these debts will not affect our operating results. However, if at maturity these notes were refinanced at interest rates which are 10% higher than the rates shown above, our per annum interest cost would increase by approximately $12,096. Changes in market interest rates also affect the fair value of our debt obligations; increases in market interest rates decrease the fair value of our fixed rate debt while decreases in market interest rates increase the fair value of our fixed rate debt. Based on the balances outstanding at September 30, 2012, and assuming discounted cash flow analyses and other credit market conditions remain unchanged, a hypothetical immediate 10% change in interest rates would change the fair value of our fixed rate debt obligations by approximately $35,667.  Change in the trading price of our common shares may also affect the fair value of our convertible senior notes.

Each of these fixed rate unsecured debt arrangements allows us to make repayments earlier than the stated maturity date. We are generally allowed to make prepayments only at face value plus a premium equal to a make whole amount, as defined, which is generally designed to preserve a stated yield to the note holder.  Also, we have in the past repurchased and retired some of our outstanding debts and we may do so again in the future.  These prepayment rights and our ability to repurchase and retire outstanding debt may afford us opportunities to mitigate the risks of refinancing our debts at their maturities at higher rates by refinancing prior to the contractual maturities.

Our revolving credit facility and unsecured term loan bear interest at floating rates.  As of September 30, 2012, we had no amounts outstanding and $750,000 available under our revolving credit facility, and we had $400,000 outstanding under our unsecured term loan. We may make repayments under our revolving credit facility and term loan at any time without penalty. We borrow in U.S. dollars and borrowings under our revolving credit facility and term loan bear

43

HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES TRUST

interest at LIBOR plus a spread that is subject to adjustment based upon changes to our credit ratings.  Accordingly, we are vulnerable to changes in U.S. dollar short term interest rates, specifically LIBOR.  A change in interest rates would not affect the value of this floating rate debt but would affect our operating results.  The following table presents the impact a 10% change in interest rates would have on our floating rate interest expense as of September 30, 2012:

	Impact of Changes in Interest Rates
	Interest Rate	Outstanding		Total Interest
	Per Year	Debt		Expense Per Year
At September 30, 2012	1.68%	$	400,000	$	6,720
10% increase	1.85%	$	400,000	$	7,400
10% reduction	1.51%	$	400,000	$	6,040

The foregoing table shows the impact of an immediate change in floating interest rates. If interest rates were to change gradually over time, the impact would be spread over time. Our exposure to fluctuations in floating interest rates will increase or decrease in the future with increases or decreases in the outstanding amounts of our revolving credit facility and term loan or other floating rate debt.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, our management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Managing Trustees, President and Chief Operating Officer and Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15. Based upon that evaluation, our Managing Trustees, President and Chief Operating Officer and Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

·THE SECURITY DEPOSITS WHICH WE HOLD ARE NOT IN SEGREGATED CASH ACCOUNTS OR OTHERWISE SEPARATE FROM OUR OTHER ASSETS AND LIABILITIES.  ACCORDINGLY, WHEN WE RECORD INCOME BY REDUCING OUR SECURITY DEPOSIT LIABILITIES, WE DO NOT RECEIVE ANY ADDITIONAL CASH PAYMENT.  BECAUSE WE DO NOT RECEIVE ANY ADDITIONAL CASH PAYMENT AND BECAUSE THE AMOUNT OF THE SECURITY DEPOSITS AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE USE IS REDUCED AS WE APPLY SECURITY DEPOSITS TO COVER PAYMENT SHORTFALLS, THE FAILURE OF OUR TENANTS OR MANAGERS TO PAY MINIMUM RETURNS OR RENTS DUE TO US MAY REDUCE OUR CASH FLOWS AND OUR ABILITY TO PAY DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS,

·WE EXPECT THAT, WHILE THE SECURITY DEPOSIT FOR OUR MARRIOTT NO. 234 AGREEMENT IS EXHAUSTED, MARRIOTT WILL PAY US UP TO 90% OF OUR MINIMUM RETURNS UNDER A LIMITED GUARANTY.  THIS STATEMENT IMPLIES MARRIOTT WILL BE ABLE AND WILLING TO FULFILL ITS OBLIGATION UNDER THIS GUARANTY, AND THAT SHORTFALLS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GUARANTY CAP.  FURTHER, THIS GUARANTY EXPIRES ON DECEMBER 31, 2019.  WE CAN PROVIDE NO ASSURANCE WITH REGARD TO MARRIOTT’S FUTURE ACTIONS OR THE FUTURE PERFORMANCE OF OUR MARRIOTT HOTELS,

·WE EXPECT THAT INTERCONTINENTAL WILL CONTINUE TO PAY US THE NET CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATIONS OF THE HOTELS INCLUDED IN OUR MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND THAT WE WILL UTILIZE THE SECURITY DEPOSIT WE HOLD FOR ANY PAYMENT SHORTFALLS.  HOWEVER, THE SECURITY DEPOSIT WE HOLD FOR INTERCONTINENTAL’S OBLIGATIONS TO US IS FOR A LIMITED AMOUNT AND WE CAN PROVIDE NO ASSURANCE THAT THE SECURITY DEPOSIT WILL BE ADEQUATE TO COVER FUTURE PAYMENT SHORTFALLS FROM OUR INTERCONTINENTAL HOTELS,

·WYNDHAM HAS AGREED TO PAY US AN ANNUAL MINIMUM RETURN AND THE PAYMENT OF THESE AMOUNTS IS PARTIALLY GUARANTEED BY WYNDHAM.  THE ANNUAL MINIMUM RETURN DUE TO US IS PAID FROM THE OPERATING CASH FLOW OF THE MANAGED HOTELS; IF THE CASH FLOW IS INSUFFICIENT TO PAY THE HOTELS’ OPERATING EXPENSES, THE ANNUAL MINIMUM RETURN MAY NOT BE PAID.  WYNDHAM’S GUARANTEE IS LIMITED BY TIME TO ANNUAL MINIMUM RETURN PAYMENTS DUE THROUGH 2019, AND IT IS LIMITED TO NET PAYMENTS FROM WYNDHAM OF $29.0 MILLION (AND SUBJECT TO AN ANNUAL PAYMENT LIMIT OF $14.5 MILLION).  ACCORDINGLY, THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE ANNUAL MINIMUM RETURN IS NOT GUARANTEED, THERE WILL BE NO GUARANTEE AFTER 2019 AND THERE IS NO GUARANTEE OF PAYMENTS BY WYNDHAM IN EXCESS OF $29.0 MILLION (OR $14.5 MILLION PER YEAR).  FOR THESE REASONS, THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT WE WILL RECEIVE THE ANNUAL MINIMUM RETURN DURING THE TERM OF OUR WYNDHAM CONTRACT,

·WE HAVE RECENTLY REBRANDED CERTAIN HOTELS.  THE COST OF CAPITAL PROJECTS ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH REBRANDING MAY BE GREATER THAN WE NOW ANTICIPATE; AND THE REBRANDING OF THESE HOTELS MAY CAUSE THE OPERATING RESULTS AT THOSE HOTELS TO MATERIALLY DECLINE,

·WE HAVE NO GUARANTEE OR SECURITY DEPOSIT FOR THE MINIMUM RETURNS DUE TO US FROM SONESTA.  ACCORDINGLY, THE RETURNS WE RECEIVE FROM HOTELS MANAGED BY SONESTA WILL BE ENTIRELY DEPENDENT UPON THE FINANCIAL RESULTS OF THOSE HOTEL OPERATIONS,

·HOTEL ROOM DEMAND AND TRUCKING ACTIVITY VOLUME ARE OFTEN A REFLECTION OF THE GENERAL ECONOMIC ACTIVITY IN THE COUNTRY.  IF ECONOMIC ACTIVITY IN THE COUNTRY DECLINES, HOTEL ROOM DEMAND AND TRUCKING ACTIVITY VOLUME MAY DECLINE AND THE OPERATING RESULTS OF OUR HOTELS AND TRAVEL CENTERS MAY DECLINE, THE FINANCIAL RESULTS OF OUR HOTEL OPERATORS AND OUR TENANTS, INCLUDING TA, MAY SUFFER AND THESE OPERATORS AND TENANTS MAY BE UNABLE TO PAY OUR RETURNS OR RENTS.  ALSO CONTINUED DEPRESSED OPERATING RESULTS FROM OUR PROPERTIES FOR EXTENDED PERIODS MAY RESULT IN THE GUARANTORS OF OUR MINIMUM RETURNS OR RENTS DUE FROM SOME OR ALL OF OUR HOTELS AND TRAVEL CENTERS BECOMING UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO MEET THEIR OBLIGATIONS OR THEIR GUARANTEES MAY BE EXHAUSTED,

·SINCE ITS FORMATION, TA HAS NOT PRODUCED CONSISTENT OPERATING PROFITS.  IF THE CURRENT LEVEL OF GENERAL COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY IN THE COUNTRY DECLINES, IF THE PRICE OF DIESEL FUEL INCREASES SIGNIFICANTLY, IF TA IS UNABLE TO EFFECTIVELY COMPETE OR OPERATE ITS BUSINESS OR FOR VARIOUS OTHER REASONS, TA MAY BECOME UNABLE TO PAY CURRENT AND DEFERRED RENTS DUE TO US,

·OUR ABILITY TO GROW OUR BUSINESS AND INCREASE OUR DISTRIBUTIONS DEPENDS IN LARGE PART UPON OUR ABILITY TO BUY PROPERTIES THAT GENERATE RETURNS WHICH EXCEED OUR CAPITAL COSTS. WE MAY BE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY PROPERTIES THAT WE WANT TO ACQUIRE OR TO NEGOTIATE ACCEPTABLE PURCHASE PRICES, ACQUISITION FINANCING OR CONTRACT TERMS FOR NEW PROPERTIES,

·THIS QUARTERLY REPORT ON FORM 10-Q STATES WE EXPECT TO FUND AN ADDITIONAL $80.5 MILLION TO RENOVATE HOTELS UNDER OUR MARRIOTT NO. 234 AGREEMENT, FUND AN ADDITIONAL $121.0 MILLION FOR RENOVATIONS AND OTHER IMPROVEMENTS FOR HOTELS INCLUDED IN OUR INTERCONTINENTAL AGREEMENT,  FUND UP TO AN ADDITIONAL $87.5 MILLION FOR REFURBISHMENT AND REBRANDING OF 21 HOTELS IN OUR WYNDHAM AGREEMENT, AND FUND BETWEEN $123.0 MILLION AND $143.0 MILLION TO REBRAND AND RENOVATE 19 HOTELS WE HAVE CONVERTED TO SONESTA BRANDS AND MANAGEMENT.  WE CAN PROVIDE NO ASSURANCE THESE AMOUNTS WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO COMPLETE THE DESIRED RENOVATIONS, REFURBISHMENT OR REBRANDING COSTS, OR WHAT THE FINAL AMOUNTS FUNDED WILL BE,

·THIS QUARTERLY REPORT STATES THAT, AT SEPTEMBER 30, 2012, WE HAD $17.1 MILLION OF CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS, THAT THERE WERE NO AMOUNTS OUTSTANDING UNDER OUR $750.0 MILLION UNSECURED REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY AND THAT WE HAVE SECURITY DEPOSITS AND GUARANTEES COVERING SOME OF OUR MINIMUM RETURNS AND RENTS.  THESE STATEMENTS MAY IMPLY THAT WE HAVE ABUNDANT WORKING CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY.  AS NOTED ELSEWHERE IN THIS QUARTERLY REPORT, OUR MANAGERS AND TENANTS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FUND MINIMUM RETURNS AND RENTS DUE TO US AND CERTAIN OF THEM IN THE PAST AND CURRENTLY HAVE IN FACT NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO SO.  THE SECURITY DEPOSITS AND GUARANTEES WE MAY HAVE OR RECEIVE TO COVER ANY SUCH SHORTFALLS ARE LIMITED IN AMOUNT AND DURATION AND ANY SECURITY DEPOSITS WE APPLY FOR SUCH SHORTFALLS DO NOT RESULT IN ADDITIONAL CASH FLOW TO US AS WE ALREADY HOLD THOSE FUNDS.  FURTHER, OUR PROPERTIES REQUIRE, AND WE HAVE AGREED TO PROVIDE, SIGNIFICANT FUNDING FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS, RENOVATIONS, REBRANDING AND OTHER MATTERS.  ACCORDINGLY, WE MAY NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT WORKING CAPITAL OR LIQUIDITY,

·THIS QUARTERLY REPORT ON FORM 10-Q STATES THAT OUR INDEPENDENT TRUSTEES APPROVED OUR PURCHASE AGREEMENTS FOR TWO HOTELS. THE IMPLICATION OF THIS STATEMENT MAY BE THAT THE TERMS OF

47

HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES TRUST

THESE AGREEMENTS ARE AS FAVORABLE TO US AS WE COULD OBTAIN FOR SIMILAR ARRANGEMENTS FROM UNRELATED THIRD PARTIES.  HOWEVER, DESPITE THESE PROCEDURAL SAFEGUARDS, WE COULD STILL BE SUBJECTED TO CLAIMS CHALLENGING OUR ENTRY INTO THESE TRANSACTIONS BECAUSE OF THE MULTIPLE RELATIONSHIPS AMONG US, SONESTA, AIC AND RMR AND THEIR RELATED PERSONS AND ENTITIES, AND DEFENDING SUCH CLAIMS COULD BE EXPENSIVE AND DISTRACTING TO MANAGEMENT REGARDLESS OF THE MERITS OF SUCH CLAIMS,

·WE MAY BE UNABLE TO REPAY OUR DEBT OBLIGATIONS WHEN THEY BECOME DUE,

·CONTINUED AVAILABILITY OF BORROWINGS UNDER OUR CREDIT FACILITY IS SUBJECT TO OUR SATISFYING CERTAIN FINANCIAL COVENANTS AND MEETING OTHER CUSTOMARY CONDITIONS,

·THIS QUARTERLY REPORT ON FORM 10-Q DISCUSSES THE INTEREST TO BE PAID ON BORROWINGS UNDER THE CREDIT FACILITY. HOWEVER, ACTUAL COSTS UNDER THE CREDIT FACILITY WILL BE HIGHER THAN LIBOR PLUS A SPREAD BECAUSE OF OTHER FEES AND EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH THE CREDIT FACILITY,

·THIS QUARTERLY REPORT ON FORM 10-Q STATES THAT WE MAY INCREASE THE MAXIMUM BORROWINGS UNDER OUR REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY AND TERM LOAN.  SUCH INCREASES IN MAXIMUM BORROWINGS ARE SUBJECT TO OUR OBTAINING ADDITIONAL COMMITMENTS FROM LENDERS, WHICH MAY NOT OCCUR, AND

·THIS QUARTERLY REPORT ON FORM 10-Q STATES THAT WE BELIEVE THAT OUR CONTINUING RELATIONSHIPS WITH RMR, TA, SONESTA, AIC, AND THEIR AFFILIATED AND RELATED PERSONS AND ENTITIES MAY BENEFIT US AND PROVIDE US WITH ADVANTAGES IN OPERATING AND GROWING OUR BUSINESS.  IN FACT, THE ADVANTAGES WE BELIEVE WE MAY REALIZE FROM THESE RELATIONSHIPS MAY NOT MATERIALIZE.

THESE RESULTS COULD OCCUR DUE TO MANY DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES, SOME OF WHICH ARE BEYOND OUR CONTROL.

PART II  Other Information

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our business faces many risks, a number of which are described under “Risk Factors” in Part I of our 2011 Annual Report, Part II of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, Part II of our June 2012 Quarterly Report and below. The risks so described may not be the only risks we face. Additional risks of which we are not yet aware, or that we currently believe are immaterial, may also materially and adversely impact our business operations or financial results. If any of the events or circumstances described in the risk factors contained in our 2011 Annual Report or described below occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could decline and the trading price of our debt or equity securities could decline. Investors and prospective investors should consider the foregoing risks and below and the information contained under the heading “Warning Concerning Forward Looking Statements” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q before deciding whether to invest in our securities.

Certain Managers and Tenants have failed to pay the full amounts due to us and the security deposits applied will not provide cash flow to us.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, all payments contractually due to us under our hotel leases and management contracts were paid when due except for certain payments from Marriott and InterContinental.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the payments we received under our Marriott No. 234 agreement, which requires annual minimum returns to us of $100.6 million, were $2.3 million and $7.0 million less than the minimum amounts contractually required, respectively.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, Marriott was not required to make any guaranty payments to us because the minimum return payments received by us were in excess of the guaranty threshold amount (90% of minimum returns due to us). During the three months ended September 30, 2012, the amount available under Marriott’s guaranty was replenished by $0.4 million of hotel cash flows in excess of the limited guaranty threshold amount.  Also, during the period from September 30, 2012 to November 6, 2012, the minimum return payments we received for these hotels were $1.6 million less than the contractual minimum returns due to us.  Marriott was not required to make any guaranty payments to us because the minimum return payments received were in excess of the guaranty threshold.  The balance of this guaranty was $30.9 million as of November 6, 2012.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the payments we received under our agreement with InterContinental covering 91 hotels and requiring minimum returns to us of $131.7 million were $2.7 million and $17.5 million less than the minimum amounts contractually required, respectively.  We applied the available security deposit to cover these shortfalls.  Also, during the period from September 30, 2012 to November 6, 2012, the minimum return payments we received under our InterContinental agreement were $5.1 million less than the minimum amounts due to us.  We applied the available security deposit to cover these shortfalls.  The remaining balance of the security deposit was $33.3 million as of November 6, 2012.

The security deposit from Marriott has been exhausted and the Marriott guaranty is limited to 90% of minimum returns due to us.  The Marriott guaranty is limited to total payments by Marriott to us of $40.0 million and expires on December 31, 2019.  As noted above, the balance of this guaranty was $30.9 million as of November 6, 2012.

When and if the InterContinental security deposit and Marriott guaranty are exhausted, we may not receive the amounts contractually set as guaranteed amounts or minimum returns due to us from InterContinental and Marriott, respectively.

We have no guarantee or security deposit for the minimum returns due to us from Sonesta.  Accordingly, the returns we receive from hotels managed by Sonesta are fully dependent upon the financial results of those hotel operations.

When we reduce the amounts of the security deposits we hold for these agreements or any other operating agreements for future payment deficiencies, we record income equal to the amounts so applied, but it will not result in additional cash flow to us of these amounts.

(b)Aggregate Principal Amount.  The aggregate principal amount of Notes to be authenticated and delivered under this Supplemental Indenture shall initially be limited to $500,000,000, except as otherwise permitted by the provisions of the Indenture; provided that the Company may from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, increase the principal amount of the Notes by issuing additional Securities in the future (the “Additional Notes”) having the same terms and ranking equally and ratably with the Notes in all respects and with the same CUSIP number as the Notes, except for the difference in the issue price and interest accrued prior to the issue date of such Additional Notes, provided that such Additional Notes constitute part of the same issue as the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  Any Additional Notes will be treated as a single series with the Notes under the Indenture and shall have the same terms as to status, redemption and otherwise as the Notes, and references herein to the Notes shall include any Additional Notes.

(c)Form of Notes.  The Notes (together with the Trustee’s certificate of authentication) shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, which is hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Supplemental Indenture.  Any of the Notes may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such notations, legends, endorsements

5

or changes as the officers executing the same may approve (execution thereof to be conclusive evidence of such approval) and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Indenture, or as may be required by the Depositary or as may be required to comply with any applicable law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed, or to conform to usage, or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular Notes are subject.

So long as the Depositary or its nominee is the registered owner of a Global Note, the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole Holder of the Notes represented by such Global Note for all purposes under the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture, and the beneficial owners of the Notes will be entitled only to those rights and benefits afforded to them in accordance with the Depositary’s regular operating procedures.  Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in a Global Note will not be entitled to have Notes registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of Notes in certificated form and will not be considered the registered owners or Holders thereof under the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture.

(g)Redemption at the Option of the Company. The Notes will be subject to redemption at any time at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its address appearing in the Security Register, at a price equal to the sum of (i) the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the applicable Redemption Date, plus (ii) the Make-Whole Amount, if any (it being understood that if the notes are redeemed on or after February 15, 2022, the Make-Whole Amount equals zero).

ARTICLE 3

ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

Section 3.1Additional Covenants of the Company.  In addition to the covenants of the Company set forth in Article Ten of the Indenture, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes:

(a)Limitations on Incurrence of Debt.

(i)The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Debt if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Debt and the application of the proceeds thereof, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Debt of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis determined in accordance with GAAP is greater than 60% of the sum (“Adjusted Total Assets”) of (without duplication) (A) the Total Assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the end of the calendar quarter covered in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, or the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as the case may be, most recently filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (or, if such filing is not permitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with the Trustee) prior to the incurrence of such additional Debt and (B) the purchase price of any real estate assets or mortgages receivable acquired, and the amount of any securities offering proceeds received (to the extent that such proceeds were not used to acquire real estate assets or mortgages receivable or used to reduce Debt), by the Company or any Subsidiary since the end of such calendar quarter, including those proceeds obtained in connection with the incurrence of such additional Debt.

(ii)In addition to the foregoing limitation on the incurrence of Debt, the Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Secured Debt if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Secured Debt and the application of the proceeds thereof, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Secured Debt of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis is greater than 40% of Adjusted Total Assets.

(iii)In addition to the foregoing limitations on the incurrence of Debt, the Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Debt if the ratio of Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service to the Annual Debt Service for the four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended prior to the date on which such additional Debt is to be incurred shall have been less than 1.5 to 1.0, on a pro forma basis after giving effect thereto and to the application of the proceeds therefrom, and calculated on the assumption that (A) such Debt and any other Debt incurred by the Company and its Subsidiaries since the first day of such four-quarter period and the application of the proceeds therefrom, including to refinance other Debt, had occurred at the beginning of

8

such period; (B) the repayment or retirement of any other Debt by the Company and its Subsidiaries since the first date of such four-quarter period had been repaid or retired at the beginning of such period (except that, in making such computation, the amount of Debt under any revolving credit facility shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Debt during such period); (C) in the case of Acquired Debt or Debt incurred in connection with any acquisition since the first day of such four-quarter period, the related acquisition had occurred as of the first day of such period with appropriate adjustments with respect to such acquisition being included in such pro forma calculation; and (D) in the case of any acquisition or disposition by the Company or its Subsidiaries of any asset or group of assets since the first day of such four-quarter period, whether by merger, stock purchase or sale, or asset purchase or sale, such acquisition or disposition or any related repayment of Debt had occurred as of the first day of such period with the appropriate adjustments with respect to such acquisition or disposition being included in such pro forma calculation. If the Debt giving rise to the need to make the foregoing calculation or any other Debt incurred after the first day of the relevant four-quarter period bears interest at a floating rate then, for purposes of calculating the Annual Debt Service, the interest rate on such Debt shall be computed on a pro forma basis as if the average interest rate which would have been in effect during the entire such four-quarter period had been the applicable rate for the entire such period.

(b)Maintenance of Total Unencumbered Assets.  The Company and its Subsidiaries will maintain at all times Total Unencumbered Assets of not less than 150% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Unsecured Debt of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

ARTICLE 4

HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES TRUST

5.000% Senior Note due 2022

Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture (as defined below) unless otherwise indicated.

1.Interest.  Hospitality Properties Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate and in the manner specified below.

The Company shall pay in cash interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum of 5.000%.  The Company will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on February 15, 2013, or if any such day is not a Business Day (as defined in the Indenture), on the next succeeding Business Day (each an “Interest Payment Date”), to Holders of record on the day falling 14 calendar days immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day).

Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.  Interest shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest on the Notes has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from August 16, 2012.

2.Method of Payment.  The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the record date next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date.  The Company will pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.  The Company, however, may pay principal, premium, if any, and interest by check payable in such money.  It may mail an interest check to a Holder’s registered address.

3.Indenture.  The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of February 25, 1998 and Supplemental Indenture No. 14 dated as of August 16, 2012 (collectively, the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee.  The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as in effect on the date of the Indenture and Holders of the Notes are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms.  The terms of the Indenture shall govern any inconsistencies between the Indenture and the Notes.  The Notes are senior unsecured general obligations of the Company initially issued in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000,000.

4.Optional Redemption.  The Notes will be subject to redemption at any time at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed,

A-3

plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the applicable Redemption Date and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount, if any.

As used herein the term “Make-Whole Amount” means, in connection with any optional redemption or accelerated payment of any Notes prior to February 15, 2022, the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate present value as of the date of such redemption or accelerated payment of each dollar of principal being redeemed or paid and the amount of interest (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption or accelerated payment) that would have been payable in respect of such dollar if such redemption or accelerated payment had been made on February 15, 2022, determined by discounting, on a semiannual basis, such principal and interest at the Reinvestment Rate (determined on the third Business Day preceding the date such notice of redemption is given or declaration of acceleration is made) from the respective dates on which such principal and interest would have been payable if such redemption or accelerated payment had been made on February 15, 2022, over (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Notes being redeemed or paid.  In the case of any redemption or accelerated payment of notes on or after February 15, 2022, the Make-Whole Amount means zero.  For purposes of the Indenture and the Notes, references in the Indenture to the payment of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes shall be deemed to include the payment of the Make-Whole Amount, if any, due upon redemption with respect to the Notes.  The Make-Whole Amount shall be calculated by the Company and set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on said Officer’s Certificate.

As used herein the term “Reinvestment Rate” means a rate per annum equal to the sum of 0.50% (50 one hundredths of one percent) plus the yield on treasury securities at constant maturity under the heading “Week Ending” published in the Statistical Release (as defined herein) under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities” for the maturity (rounded to the nearest month) corresponding to the remaining life to maturity (which, in the case of maturities corresponding to the principal and interest due on the Notes at their maturity, shall be deemed to be February 15, 2022), as of the payment date of the principal being redeemed or paid.  If no maturity exactly corresponds to such maturity, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to such maturity shall be calculated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence and the Reinvestment Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis, rounding in each of such relevant periods to the nearest month.  For purposes of calculating the Reinvestment Rate, the most recent Statistical Release published prior to the date of determination of the Make-Whole Amount shall be used.

As used herein the term “Statistical Release” means the statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States government securities adjusted to constant maturities or, if such statistical release is not published at the time of any determination under the Indenture, then any publicly available source of similar market data which shall be designated by the Company.

5.Mandatory Redemption.  The Company shall not be required to make sinking fund or redemption payments with respect to the Notes.

A-4

6.Notice of Redemption.  Notice of redemption shall be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address.  Notes may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed.  On and after the Redemption Date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of them called for redemption.

7.Denominations, Transfer, Exchange.  The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.  The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture.  The Security Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture.  The Security Registrar need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption.  Also, it need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes, or during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.

8.Defaults and Remedies.  In case an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) with respect to the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal hereof may be declared, and upon such declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the provisions provided in the Indenture.

9.Actions of Holders.  The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, subject to certain exceptions as provided in the Indenture, on behalf of the Holders of all such Notes at a meeting duly called and held as provided in the Indenture, to make, give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in the Indenture to be made, given or taken by the Holders of the Notes, including without limitation, waiving (a) compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture, and (b) certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.  Any resolution passed or decision taken at any meeting of the Holders of the Notes in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holders and upon all future Holders of this Note and other Notes issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange heretofore or in lieu hereof.

10.Persons Deemed Owners.  The Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may deem and treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered on the Security Register as its absolute owner for all purposes.

11.Authentication.  This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

12.Governing Law.  THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THE INDENTURE AND THE NOTES.

13.No Personal Liability.  THE DECLARATION OF TRUST OF THE COMPANY, AMENDED AND RESTATED ON AUGUST 21, 1995, A COPY OF WHICH, TOGETHER

A-5

WITH ALL AMENDMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTS THERETO (THE “DECLARATION”), IS DULY FILED IN THE OFFICE OF THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF ASSESSMENTS AND TAXATION OF MARYLAND, PROVIDES THAT THE NAME “HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES TRUST” REFERS TO THE TRUSTEES UNDER THE DECLARATION OF TRUST, AS SO AMENDED AND SUPPLEMENTED, COLLECTIVELY AS TRUSTEES, BUT NOT INDIVIDUALLY OR PERSONALLY, AND THAT NO TRUSTEE, OFFICER, SHAREHOLDER, EMPLOYEE OR AGENT OF THE COMPANY SHALL BE HELD TO ANY PERSONAL LIABILITY, JOINTLY OR SEVERALLY, FOR ANY OBLIGATION OF, OR CLAIM AGAINST, THE COMPANY.  ALL PERSONS DEALING WITH THE COMPANY, IN ANY WAY, SHALL LOOK ONLY TO THE ASSETS OF THE COMPANY FOR THE PAYMENT OF ANY SUM OR THE PERFORMANCE OF ANY OBLIGATION.

This Restricted Share Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of «DATE», «YEAR», between «NAME» (the “Recipient”) and Hospitality Properties Trust (the “Company”).

In consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.Grant of Shares.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth and the terms and conditions of the Hospitality Properties Trust 2012 Equity Compensation Plan, as it may be amended from time to time (the “Plan”), the Company hereby grants to the Recipient, effective as of the date of this Agreement, «HPT» of its common shares of beneficial interest, par value $.01 per share.  The shares so granted are hereinafter referred to as the “Shares,” which term shall also include any shares of the Company issued to the Recipient by virtue of his or her ownership of the Shares, by share dividend, share split, recapitalization or otherwise.

2.Vesting; Repurchase of Shares.

(a)The Shares shall vest one-fifth as of the date hereof and a further one-fifth on «DATE» of each of the next four calendar years commencing on «DATE», «YEAR».  Any Shares not vested as of any date are herein referred to as “Unvested Shares.”

(b)At the option of the Company, in the event the Recipient ceases to render significant services, whether as an employee or otherwise, to (i) the Company, (ii) the entity which is the manager or shared services provider to the Company or an entity controlled by, under common control with or controlling such entity (collectively, the “Manager”), or (iii) an affiliate of the Company (which shall be deemed for such purpose to include any other entity to which the Manager is the manager or shared services provider), all or any portion of the Unvested Shares shall be forfeited by the Recipient as of the date the Recipient ceases to render such services.  The Company may exercise such option by delivering or mailing to the Recipient (or his or her estate), at any time after the Recipient has ceased to render such services, a written notice of exercise of such option.  Such notice shall specify the number of Unvested Shares to be forfeited.

3.Legends.  Share certificates, if any, evidencing the Shares shall prominently bear legends in substantially the following terms:

“THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”).  SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SHARES UNDER THE ACT OR AN OPINION OF

THE TRUST’S COUNSEL THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE ACT.

THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ISSUED PURSUANT TO AN EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN MAINTAINED BY THE TRUST.  THESE SHARES MAY BE SUBJECT TO TRANSFER AND/OR VESTING RESTRICTIONS, AND UNVESTED SHARES ARE SUBJECT TO REPURCHASE RIGHTS AND FORFEITURE CONDITIONS CONTAINED IN THE PLAN, THE RELATED GRANT OF SHARES OR AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE TRUST AND THE INITIAL HOLDER OF THESE SHARES.  A COPY OF APPLICABLE RESTRICTIONS, REPURCHASE RIGHTS AND FORFEITURE CONDITIONS WILL BE FURNISHED TO THE HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE WITHOUT CHARGE UPON REQUEST TO THE SECRETARY OF THE TRUST.”

Certificates evidencing Shares and Shares not evidenced by certificates shall also bear or contain, as applicable, legends and notations as may be required by the Plan or the Company’s declaration of trust, any applicable supplement thereto or bylaws, each as in effect from time to time, or as the Company may otherwise determine appropriate.

4.Tax Withholding.  To the extent required by law, the Company shall withhold or cause to be withheld income and other taxes incurred by the Recipient by reason of a grant of Shares, and the Recipient agrees that he or she shall upon request of the Company pay to the

2

Company an amount sufficient to satisfy its tax withholding obligations from time to time (including as Shares become vested) as the Company may request.

5.Miscellaneous.

(a)Amendments.  Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be changed or modified except by an agreement in writing executed by the Recipient and the Company; provided, however, that any change or modification that does not adversely affect the rights hereunder of the Recipient, as they may exist immediately prior to the effective date of such change or modification, may be adopted by the Company without an agreement in writing executed by the Recipient, and the Company shall give the Recipient written notice of such change or modification reasonably promptly following the adoption of such change or modification.

Note 3.  Revenue Recognition

We report hotel operating revenues for managed hotels in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. We generally recognize hotel operating revenues, consisting primarily of room and food and beverage sales, when services are provided. Our share of the net operating results of our managed hotels in excess of the minimum returns due to us, or additional returns, are generally determined annually. We recognize additional returns due to us under our management agreements at year end when all contingencies are met and the income is earned. We had no deferred additional returns for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

We recognize rental income from operating leases on a straight line basis over the term of the lease agreements.  Rental income includes ($52) and $243 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, of adjustments necessary to record rent on the straight line basis and $1,193 and $3,610 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, of adjustments necessary to record rent on the straight line basis.

We determine percentage rent due to us under our leases annually and recognize it at year end when all contingencies have been met and the rent is earned. We had deferred percentage rent of $919 and $3,481 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, and $481 and $1,417 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.

We own all the capital expenditure reserves, or FF&E reserves, for our hotels. We do not report the amounts which are escrowed as FF&E reserves for our managed hotels as FF&E reserve income. We report deposits by our third party hotel tenants into the escrow accounts as FF&E reserve income.

Note 2.  New Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2012, we adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS.  This update clarified the application of existing fair value measurement requirements.  This update also required reporting entities to disclose additional information regarding fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.  This update was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  The implementation of this update did not cause any material changes to the disclosures in, or presentation of, our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In January 2012, we adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income.  This update eliminates the prior option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of shareholders’ equity.  This update is intended to enhance comparability between entities that report under GAAP and to provide a more consistent method of presenting non-owner transactions that affect an entity’s equity.  The update was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  The implementation of this update did not cause any changes to our condensed consolidated financial statements other than the presentation of the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

In July 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-02, Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment.  This update gives companies the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. The update is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after September 15, 2012 with early adoption permitted.  The implementation of this update is not expected to cause any changes to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 1.  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Hospitality Properties Trust and its subsidiaries, or HPT, or we, our or us, are unaudited. Certain information and disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted. We believe the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. However, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, as amended, or our 2011 Annual Report.  In the opinion of our management, all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included in these condensed consolidated financial statements.  These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HPT and its subsidiaries, all of which are 100% owned directly or indirectly by HPT.  All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Our operating results for interim periods and those of our managers and tenants are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. Reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Significant estimates in the condensed consolidated financial statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts, purchase price allocations, useful lives of fixed assets and impairment of real estate and intangible assets.

We have determined that each of our taxable REIT subsidiaries, or TRSs, is a variable interest entity, or VIE, as defined under the Consolidation Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards CodificationTM.   We have concluded that we must consolidate each of our TRSs because we are the entity with the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact such VIEs’ performance and we have the obligation to absorb the majority of the potential variability in gains and losses of each VIE, with the primary focus on losses, and are, therefore, the primary beneficiary of each VIE.

Note 11. Related Person Transactions

We have no employees.  Personnel and various services we require to operate our business are provided to us by RMR.  We have two agreements with RMR to provide management and administrative services to us: (1) a business management agreement which relates to our business generally and (2) a property management agreement which relates to the property level operations of the office building component of only one property in Baltimore, MD, which also includes a Royal Sonesta hotel.  Under our business management agreement with RMR, we acknowledge that RMR also provides services to other companies, including TA and Sonesta.  One of our Managing Trustees, Mr. Barry Portnoy, is Chairman, majority owner and an employee of RMR.  Our other Managing Trustee, Mr. Adam Portnoy, is the son of Mr. Barry Portnoy, and an owner, President, Chief Executive Officer and a director of RMR.  Each of our executive officers is also an officer of RMR.  Certain of TA’s and Sonesta’s executive officers are officers of RMR.  Our Independent Trustees also serve as independent directors or independent trustees of other public companies to which RMR provides management services.  Mr. Barry Portnoy serves as a managing director or managing trustee of those companies and Mr. Adam Portnoy serves as a managing trustee of a majority of those companies.

Pursuant to our business management and property management agreements with RMR, we incurred expenses of $8,068 and $9,432 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $26,650 and $26,306 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  These amounts are included in general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated financial statements.  In March 2012, we issued 33,132 shares to RMR in satisfaction of the incentive fee RMR earned for services provided to us during 2011, in accordance with the terms of the business management agreement.

TA is our former 100% owned subsidiary.  TA became a public company in a spin off transaction in 2007. We are TA’s largest shareholder and, as of the date of this report, we owned 2,540,000 common shares of TA, or approximately 8.8% of TA’s outstanding common shares.  One of our Managing Trustees, Mr. Barry Portnoy, is also a managing director of TA.  RMR provides management services to both us and TA.

TA is our largest tenant and has two leases with us, the TA No. 1 lease and the TA No. 2 lease, pursuant to which TA currently leases 185 travel centers from us.  The TA No. 1 lease is for 145 travel centers that TA operates under the “TravelCenters of America” or “TA” brand names.   The TA No. 2 lease is for 40 travel centers that TA operates under the “Petro” brand name.  The TA No. 1 lease expires on December 31, 2022.  The TA No. 2 lease expires on June 30, 2024, and may be extended by TA for up to two additional periods of 15 years each.  Both of these leases require TA to: (1) make payments to us of minimum rents; (2) pay us percentage rent equal to 3% of non-fuel revenues and 0.3% of fuel revenues over threshold amounts established in 2011 and to be established in 2012 (with the first $2,500 of percentage rents under the TA No. 2 lease waived by us), respectively; and (3) maintain the leased travel centers, including structural and non-structural components.  In addition to minimum and percentage rent, TA is obligated to pay us ground rent of approximately $5,126 per year under the TA No. 1 lease.  Previously deferred rent due from TA of $107,085 and $42,915 is due in December 2022 and June 2024, respectively.  We have not recognized any of the deferred rent as rental income or as rents receivable due to uncertainties regarding future collection.

We recognized rental income from our leases with TA of $51,717 and $50,597 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $154,626 and $150,683 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Rental income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 includes ($69) and $218, respectively, and $1,195 and $3,594, respectively, of adjustments necessary to record rent on our TA No. 1 lease on a straight line basis.  We had deferred percentage rent under our TA No. 1 lease of $77 and $1,277 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.  We determine percentage rent due under our TA No. 1 lease annually and recognize it at year end when all contingencies are met.

Under both of our leases with TA, TA may request that we purchase capital improvements to the leased facilities in return for minimum rent increases; however TA is not required to request that we purchase those capital improvements it makes to our properties and we are not required to fund any such request.  We purchased $48,282 of capital improvements from TA under this lease provision during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, which resulted in a $4,104 increase in our annual minimum rents.  See Note 10 above for more information about TA.

The stockholders of Sonesta are Mr. Barry Portnoy and Mr. Adam Portnoy, who are our Managing Trustees, and they also serve as directors of Sonesta.  As noted above, Messrs. Barry and Adam Portnoy have relationships with RMR and RMR provides services to us and to Sonesta.

On November 2, 2011, we entered into a purchase agreement, or the Purchase Agreement, with Sonesta and its wholly owned subsidiary, PAC Merger Corp., or Merger Sub, and together with Sonesta, the Sellers, to purchase from Sonesta the entities, or the Hotel Entities, that own the Cambridge Hotel and lease the New Orleans Hotel.  At that time, the Cambridge Hotel and the New Orleans Hotel were owned or leased and operated by subsidiaries of what was then known as Sonesta International Hotels Corporation, or SNSTA.  The Purchase Agreement was a component part of a transaction that involved the acquisition by merger, or the Merger, of all of SNSTA’s shares by Sonesta pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger, or the Merger Agreement, which was entered into between Sonesta, Merger Sub and SNSTA on November 2, 2011.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on January 31, 2012, Merger Sub merged with and into SNSTA.  Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we advanced the approximately $150,500 aggregate purchase price for the Hotel Entities to the Sellers for the purpose of the Sellers consummating the Merger under the Merger Agreement.  The purchase price was reduced by the outstanding principal and accrued interest owed under a variable rate mortgage loan due in 2015 secured by the Cambridge Hotel, or the Cambridge Loan. We prepaid this mortgage loan, which had an outstanding principal balance of approximately $31,035, and unwound a related interest rate hedge agreement for $2,525 on January 31, 2012.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, following the consummation of the Merger, Sonesta initiated a restructuring of SNSTA, which resulted in SNSTA owning equity interests of the Hotel Entities and certain related assets and the Hotel Entities owning only the real estate comprising the Cambridge Hotel and the leasehold for the New Orleans Hotel and related furniture, fixtures and equipment and certain other assets, and in Sonesta or its subsidiaries (other than SNSTA and its subsidiary Hotel Entities) owning the other assets of SNSTA, including its management businesses and brands and assuming all liabilities of SNSTA, other than the liabilities associated with the Cambridge Loan, income taxes, taxes related to retained assets and certain payables and other liabilities. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, after giving effect to that restructuring, Sonesta then transferred to us all of the then issued and outstanding capital stock of SNSTA (which then owned the Hotel Entities, which in turn own or lease the Cambridge Hotel and the New Orleans Hotel), free and clear of any liens, encumbrances or other restrictions (other than the Cambridge Loan and certain other matters).  Sonesta retained the management business of SNSTA and Sonesta manages certain of our other hotels, as described below, and we currently expect that Sonesta and its Sonesta management team will be available to operate other of our hotels in the future.

Simultaneously with consummation of the Purchase Agreement on January 31, 2012, we entered hotel management agreements with Sonesta, which provide for Sonesta to manage for us each of the Cambridge Hotel and the New Orleans Hotel.

In April 2012, we entered into a pooling agreement with Sonesta that combines our management agreements with Sonesta for hotels that we own for purposes of calculating gross revenues, payment of hotel operating expenses, payment of fees and distributions and the calculation of minimum returns due to us.  We refer to this agreement and combination of hotels and management agreements as our Sonesta No. 1 agreement.

During the period April 2012 through August 2012, we entered into 17 hotel management agreements with Sonesta for 17 hotels historically owned by us and managed by InterContinental Hotels Group, plc, or InterContinental, which hotels have been rebranded with Sonesta brands.  Thirteen of these agreements relate to the former Staybridge Suites branded, limited service hotels located in Burlington, MA, Orlando, FL, Andover, MA, Parsippany, NJ, Malvern, PA, Somerset, NJ, Princeton, NJ, Houston, TX, Columbia, MD, Charlotte, NC, Atlanta, GA, St. Louis, MO, and Myrtle Beach, SC, two agreements relate to the former InterContinental branded, full service hotels located in Baltimore, MD and Houston, TX and two agreements relate to the former Crowne Plaza branded, full service hotels located in Hilton Head, SC and Philadelphia, PA. The thirteen former Staybridge Suites hotels have been rebranded as Sonesta ES Suites hotels, the former InterContinental hotels have been rebranded as Royal Sonesta hotels and the former Crowne Plaza hotels have been rebranded as Sonesta hotels.  All of the management agreements for these hotels were added to the Sonesta No. 1 agreement.

In August 2012, we entered into hotel management agreements with Sonesta for two additional hotels historically owned by us and managed by Marriott (these hotels were removed from our Marriott No. 234 agreement, which agreement is further described in Note 12 below).  These two agreements relate to the former Residence Inn branded, limited service hotels located in Flagstaff, AZ and Dublin, OH.  Both of those hotels have been rebranded as Sonesta ES Suites hotels and the management agreements for those hotels were added to the Sonesta No. 1 agreement.  For more information about our management agreements with Sonesta, please see Note 12 below.

Pursuant to our management agreements with Sonesta, we incurred management, system and reservation fees payable to Sonesta of $1,903 and $3,536 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.  These amounts are included in hotel operating expenses in our condensed consolidated financial statements.  In addition, we also incurred procurement and construction supervision fees payable to Sonesta in connection with capital expenditures at our hotels managed by Sonesta of $185 and $209 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.  These amounts have been capitalized in our condensed consolidated financial statements.  Under our hotel management agreements with Sonesta, routine property maintenance, which is expensed, is an operating expense of the hotels and repairs and periodic renovations, which are capitalized, are funded by us, except in the case of the New Orleans Hotel where capital expenditures are borne in large part by the lessor.

In August 2012, we sold two hotels that were managed by InterContinental that we previously disclosed we had agreed to sell, consistent with our agreement with InterContinental.  One of those hotels was the Staybridge Suites branded, limited service hotel located in Schaumburg, IL, which we sold for a cash purchase price of $2,060, and the other hotel was the Staybridge Suites branded, limited service hotel located in Auburn Hills, MI, which we sold for a cash purchase price of $3,510.  We recognized a gain on these sales totaling $392.  The purchaser was New 165 South Union Road, Inc., an entity owned by Mr. Barry Portnoy, as assignee of Schaumberg Suites LLC and Auburn Hills Suites LLC, entities owned by Mr. Barry Portnoy and Mr. Adam Portnoy, and both of the hotels were removed from our management agreement with InterContinental (which agreement is further described in Note 12 below).  We understand these two hotels are subject to management agreements with Sonesta and have been rebranded as Sonesta ES Suites hotels and that, after giving effect to the acquisition transactions, the owners and operators of these hotels will be affiliates of RMR, our manager, that are owned by Mr. Barry Portnoy and Mr. Adam Portnoy, who are our Managing Trustees.  As noted above, Mr. Barry Portnoy and Mr. Adam Portnoy have relationships with RMR and RMR provides services to us and to Sonesta.  The purchase price paid for these two hotels was equal to prices agreed between us and InterContinental and the sale was approved by our Independent Trustees after considering an appraisal report.

We, RMR, TA and five other companies to which RMR provides management services each currently own 12.5% of AIC, an Indiana insurance company.  All of our Trustees, all of the trustees and directors of the other publicly held AIC shareholders and nearly all of the directors of RMR currently serve on the board of directors of AIC.  RMR provides management and administrative services to AIC pursuant to a management and administrative services agreement with AIC.  Although we own less than 20% of AIC, we use the equity method to account for this investment because we believe that we have significant influence over AIC because all of our Trustees are also directors of AIC.  Our investment in AIC had a carrying value of $5,558 and $5,291 as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.  We recognized income of $115 and $28 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $236 and $111 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, related to this investment.  We and the other shareholders of AIC have purchased property insurance providing $500,000 of coverage pursuant to an insurance program arranged by AIC and with respect to which AIC is a reinsurer of certain coverage amounts.  This program was modified and extended in June 2012 for a one year term and we paid a premium, including taxes and fees, of $5,256 in connection with that renewal, which amount may be adjusted from time to time as we acquire or dispose of properties that are included in that program.  We are also currently investigating the possibilities to expand our insurance relationships with AIC to include other types of insurance.  We may invest additional amounts in AIC in the future if the expansion of this insurance business requires additional capital, but we are not obligated to do so.  By participating in this insurance business with RMR and the other companies to which RMR provides management services, we expect that we may benefit financially by possibly reducing our insurance expenses or by realizing our pro-rata share of any profits of this insurance business.

Note 12. Hotel Management Agreements and Leases

Marriott No. 234 agreement.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the payments we received under our Marriott No. 234 agreement, which requires annual minimum returns to us of $100,622, were $2,318 and $6,989 less than the minimum amounts contractually required, respectively.  Pursuant to our Marriott No. 234 agreement, Marriott provided us with a limited guarantee for shortfalls up to 90% of our minimum returns.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, Marriott was not required to make any guaranty payments to us because the payments received by us were in excess of the guaranty threshold amount (90% of the minimum returns due to us). During the three months ended September 30, 2012, the amount available under Marriott’s guaranty was replenished by the $400 of hotel cash flows in excess of the guaranty threshold amount.  Also, during the period from September 30, 2012 to November 6, 2012, the payments we received for these hotels were $1,555 less than the contractual minimum returns due to us.  Marriott was not required to make any guaranty payments to us because the minimum return payments received were in excess of the guaranty threshold.  The balance of this guaranty was $30,873 as of November 6, 2012.

We and Marriott previously identified 21 Marriott hotels included in our Marriott No. 234 agreement for potential sale.  In May 2012, we announced we had entered agreements with Marriott to retain ownership of and renovate 18 of the 21 hotels.  We currently expect to fund approximately $43,000 for certain improvements to these 18 hotels.  As we fund these amounts, our annual minimum returns due under the Marriott No. 234 agreement will be increased by 9% of the amounts funded.  As discussed in Note 7, in July 2012 we sold one of these 21 hotels, a full service Marriott hotel in St. Louis, MO.  We received net proceeds of $28,850 from the sale and our annual minimum returns under the Marriott No. 234 agreement were decreased by $2,597 when this hotel was sold.  In August 2012, we removed the remaining two of the 21 hotels from the Marriott No. 234 agreement and converted them to the Sonesta ES Suites brand and Sonesta management.  Our annual minimum returns under the Marriott No. 234 agreement were reduced by $990 when these two hotels were removed from the Marriott No. 234 agreement.

The May 2012 agreements with Marriott provide that the FF&E reserve funding requirements for all hotels included in the Marriott No. 234 agreement are eliminated during 2012 (effective May 29, 2012 and retroactive to January 1, 2012), reduced in 2013 and 2014, and then increased in 2015 through the remaining agreement term of 2025.  The May 2012 agreements with Marriott also provide that Marriott’s limited guarantee of the minimum return amounts due to us under the Marriott No. 234 agreement will be extended through 2019.

InterContinental agreement.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the payments we received under our agreement with InterContinental covering 91 hotels and requiring minimum returns to us of $131,654 were $2,743 and $17,493 less than the minimum amounts contractually required, respectively.  We applied the available security deposit to cover these shortfalls.  Also, during the period from September 30, 2012 to November 6, 2012, the minimum return payments we received under our InterContinental agreement were $5,061 less than the minimum amounts due to us.  We applied the available security deposit to cover these shortfalls.  The remaining balance of the security deposit was $33,266 as of November 6, 2012.

When we reduce the amounts of the security deposits we hold for these agreements or any other operating agreements for payment deficiencies, we record income equal to the amounts by which these deposits are reduced up to the minimum return or minimum rent due to us. However, reducing the security deposits does not result in additional cash flow to us of the deficiency amounts, but reducing amounts of security deposits may reduce the refunds due to the respective lessees or managers who have provided us with these deposits upon expiration of the respective lease or management agreement.  The security deposits are non-interest bearing and are not held in escrow.  Under all of our hotel contracts that include a security deposit, any amount of the security deposits which are applied to payment deficits may be replenished from future cash flows from the applicable hotel operations pursuant to the terms of the respective contracts.

Under the InterContinental agreement, we had the option to sell or rebrand up to 42 hotels included in the agreement.  In April 2012, we and InterContinental agreed to retain three of the 42 hotels in the InterContinental agreement.  We provided notices to InterContinental during the period from February 2012 to June 2012 that we planned to remove the remaining 39 of the 42 hotels from the InterContinental agreement.  We entered into management agreements with Sonesta for 17 of these hotels, which were converted to Sonesta brands and management during the second and third quarters of 2012.  As described below, in May 2012, we entered into an agreement with Wyndham Hotel Group, or Wyndham, a member of the Wyndham Worldwide Corporation for 20 of these 39 hotels.  We converted these 20 hotels to Wyndham brands and management on August 1, 2012.  In August 2012, we sold the remaining two of the 39 hotels for combined net proceeds of $5,354.  Our annual minimum returns due under the InterContinental agreement were reduced by an aggregate of $34,990 when these 39 hotels were removed.

Sonesta agreements.  As described in Note 11, on January 31, 2012, we entered into two management agreements with Sonesta to manage our Cambridge Hotel and our New Orleans Hotel.  The management agreement for our Cambridge Hotel, which is included in our Sonesta No. 1 agreement, provides that we are paid a fixed minimum return equal to 8% of our invested capital, as defined in the management agreement for our Cambridge Hotel, if gross revenues of the hotels, after payment of hotel operating expenses and base fees to Sonesta, are sufficient to do so.  Under the terms of this agreement, we may earn additional returns of 80% of cash flow after payment of our minimum returns and reimbursement of operating losses or working capital advances, if any.  We are required to fund operating losses or working capital shortfalls, but may recover these amounts from future cash flows, if any.  As described above, during the second and third quarters of 2012, we removed 17 hotels from our InterContinental agreement and two hotels from our Marriott No. 234 agreement and converted them to Sonesta brands and management.  We entered into hotel management agreements with Sonesta for these hotels and added them to our Sonesta No. 1 agreement.  The terms of these management agreements are substantially the same as our Cambridge Hotel management agreement, except that in the case of limited service hotels the base management fee payable to Sonesta is 5% of gross revenues (compared to 3% of gross revenues for other Sonesta branded hotels) and our working capital required advance per room is less ($750 per key compared to $1,500 per key for the full service Sonesta hotels).  In addition, in April 2012, we entered into a pooling agreement with Sonesta as further described in Note 11.  Under the terms of the pooling agreement, results from the hotels included in our Sonesta No. 1 agreement are combined for purposes of calculating gross revenues, payment of hotel operating expenses, payment of fees and distributions and the calculation of minimum returns due to us.  Our annual minimum returns as of September 30, 2012 for the 20 hotels included in the Sonesta No. 1 agreement were $36,476.  We currently expect to fund between $130,000 and $150,000 for rebranding, renovations and other improvements to the 19 hotels we rebranded as Sonesta hotels.  The annual minimum returns due to us under the Sonesta No. 1 agreement will increase to the extent amounts funded for these improvements exceed threshold amounts, as defined.

We lease the New Orleans Hotel from a third party.  The annual rent payable by us under the lease is calculated as 75% of the sum of the net profit of the hotel (hotel operating revenues less hotel operating expenses, including a 3% management fee to Sonesta), less capital expenditures made during the lease year.  The management agreement for our New Orleans Hotel, which we refer to as our Sonesta No. 2 agreement, provides that we are paid all cash flow of the hotel after the payment of operating expenses, including a management fee to Sonesta and rent expense.

We do not have any security deposits or guarantees for our hotels managed by Sonesta.  Sonesta’s incentive management fees, but not its other fees, are only earned after we receive our minimum returns, and we may cancel these management agreements if approximately 75% of our minimum returns are not paid for certain periods.  Accordingly, the returns we receive from hotels managed by Sonesta will depend exclusively upon the performance of those hotels.

Wyndham agreement.  As described above, on May 21, 2012, we entered an agreement to rebrand 20 of our hotels which were managed by InterContinental to Wyndham brands, which conversion occurred on August 1, 2012.  All 20 hotels are being managed by Wyndham under a long term management contract with an initial term of 25 years and two renewal terms of 15 years each.  Our annual minimum return under our Wyndham agreement for these 20 hotels was $9,681 as of September 30, 2012, and such payment was subject to a $20,000 limited guarantee by Wyndham (and an annual payment limit of $10,000).  The cash flows generated by our Wyndham hotels were $3,547 less than the minimum returns due for the period August 1, 2012 through September 30, 2012 and Wyndham provided guaranty payments to cover these shortfalls.  There was $16,453 remaining at September 30, 2012 under our Wyndham guarantee.  We have agreed to provide up to $75,000 for refurbishment and rebranding of these hotels to “Wyndham Hotels and Resorts” (four hotels) and “Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham” (16 hotels) brand standards.  As these amounts are funded, the annual minimum returns due to us under the management agreement will increase by 8% of the amounts funded.

On November 1, 2012, we acquired the Hotel 71, a full service hotel in Chicago, IL for $85,000, excluding closing costs, and added it to our Wyndham agreement.  Upon completion of a planned renovation, the property will consist of 348 hotel rooms managed by Wyndham and 48 vacation units leased to Wyndham Vacation Resorts, Inc., a subsidiary of Wyndham Worldwide Corporation.  Our annual minimum returns under the Wyndham agreement increased by $5,800 and the limited guaranty provided by Wyndham increased by $9,000 upon closing of this hotel acquisition (and increased the annual payment limit to $14,500).  The lease with Wyndham Vacation Resorts, Inc. provides for annual initial rent to us of $1,000 increasing 3% per annum.  We plan to convert this hotel to the “Wyndham Grand Chicago Riverfront” hotel and have agreed to provide up to $18,000 for the rebranding and renovation of this hotel.  As these rebranding and renovation amounts are funded, the annual minimum return due to us under the Wyndham agreement will increase by 8% of the amounts funded.

Other management agreement and lease matters.  As of November 6, 2012, all payments due to us from our managers and tenants under our other operating agreements were current.  Certain amounts of minimum return and minimum rent payments due to us under some of our other hotel management agreements and leases are supported by guarantees. The guaranty provided by Hyatt Hotels Corporation, or Hyatt, with respect to the 22 hotels managed by Hyatt is limited to $50,000 ($18,141 remaining at September 30, 2012). The guaranty provided by Carlson Hotels Worldwide, or Carlson, with respect to the 11 hotels managed by Carlson is limited to $40,000 ($24,130 remaining at September 30, 2012).  The guaranty provided by Marriott with respect to the one hotel leased by Marriott (our Marriott No. 5 agreement) is unlimited and continues throughout the lease term.

Certain of our managed hotel portfolios had net operating results that were, in the aggregate, $20,300 and $6,653, less than the minimum returns due to us in the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $46,697 and $37,875 less than the minimum returns due to us in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  When the shortfalls are funded by the managers of these hotels under the terms of our operating agreements, we reflect such fundings (including security deposit applications) in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income as a reduction of hotel operating expenses. The reduction to operating expenses was $12,791 and $6,653 in the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $30,483 and $37,875 in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  We had $9,840 and $16,210 of shortfalls not funded by managers during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, which represents the unguaranteed portion of our minimum returns from Marriott and from Sonesta.

In November 2010, Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc., or Host, notified us that it will not exercise its renewal option at the end of the current lease term for 53 hotels which we have historically referred to as our Marriott No. 1 agreement.  In the absence of any default by Host, upon expiration of the agreement on December 31, 2012, we expect to return the $50,540 security deposit to Host, to lease these hotels to one of our TRSs and to continue the existing hotel brand and management agreements with Marriott with respect to these hotels; this management agreement with Marriott expires in 2024.

Note 6.  Indebtedness

We have a $750,000 unsecured revolving credit facility that is available for acquisitions, working capital and general business purposes.  Our revolving credit facility matures on September 7, 2015, and subject to our payment of an extension fee and meeting certain other conditions, we may extend the maturity date for one year to September 7, 2016.  In addition, our revolving credit facility includes a feature under which maximum borrowings may be increased to up to $1,500,000 in certain circumstances.  Borrowings under our revolving credit facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a spread of 130 basis points.  We also pay a facility fee of 30 basis points per annum on the total amount of lending commitments under our revolving credit facility.  Both the interest rate spread and the facility fee are subject to adjustment based upon changes to our credit ratings.  We had no amounts outstanding during the three months ended September 30, 2012 and the weighted average interest rate for borrowings under our revolving credit facility was 1.58% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  As of September 30, 2012, we had no amounts outstanding and $750,000 available under our revolving credit facility.

On March 12, 2012, we entered into a five year $400,000 unsecured term loan.  Our term loan matures on March 13, 2017, and is prepayable without penalty at any time.  In addition, our term loan includes a feature under which maximum borrowings may be increased to up to $500,000 in certain circumstances.  The amount outstanding under our term loan bears interest at LIBOR plus a spread of 145 basis points that is subject to adjustment based upon changes to our credit ratings.  The weighted average interest rate for borrowings under our term loan was 1.70% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and for the period from March 12, 2012 to September 30, 2012.

Our revolving credit facility agreement and our term loan agreement contain a number of covenants that restrict our ability to incur debt in excess of calculated amounts, restrict our ability to make distributions under certain circumstances and generally require us to maintain certain financial ratios.  We believe we were in compliance with the terms and conditions of our revolving credit facility agreement and our term loan agreement at September 30, 2012.

On March 20, 2012, we repurchased at par plus accrued and unpaid interest $70,576 of our 3.8% convertible senior notes due 2027 which were tendered by the holders of these notes for repurchase by us.

We separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of our 3.8% convertible senior notes due 2027 to reflect the fair value of the liability component based on our non-convertible borrowing cost at the issuance date. We measured the fair value of the debt components of the notes at issuance based on an estimated effective interest rate of 6.06% and amortized the resulting discount as an increase to interest expense over the expected life of the debt (assuming holders of the notes exercised in full their options to require us to repay the notes on March 20, 2012).

·The net carrying amount of our 3.8% convertible senior notes due 2027 was $8,478 and $78,823 as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

·The unamortized discount on such notes was $0 and $231 as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. We amortized the discount through March 20, 2012, the first date on which the holders of our 3.8% convertible senior notes could require that we redeem them.

·Interest expense with respect to our 3.8% convertible senior notes for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 includes non-cash amortization of $0 and $404, respectively.  Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 includes non-cash amortization of $270 and $1,194, respectively.

·The amount allocated as the equity component of the 3.8% convertible senior notes was $37,710 as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 and is included in additional paid in capital in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

On April 11, 2012, we redeemed at par all of our outstanding 6.85% senior notes due 2012 for $100,829 plus accrued and unpaid interest.

On August 16, 2012, we issued $500,000 of 5.00% senior notes due 2022 in a public offering for net proceeds of $487,946 (after underwriting and other offering expenses).

On September 10, 2012, we redeemed at par all of our outstanding 6.75% senior notes due 2013 for $287,000 plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Preferred Shares

In January 2012, we sold 11,600,000 7.125 % Series D cumulative redeemable preferred shares at a price of $25.00 per share in a public offering for net proceeds of $280,108 (after underwriting and other offering expenses).  Each of our Series D preferred shares has a distribution rate of $1.78125 per annum, payable in equal quarterly amounts, and a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share ($290,000 in aggregate). The Series D preferred shares are redeemable for $25.00 per share each plus accrued and unpaid distributions at our option at any time on or after January 15, 2017, or at the option of the holders of the Series D preferred shares if a change of control occurs which results in our common shares (or the common securities of an acquiring or surviving entity) not being listed or quoted on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, or certain other exchanges or quotation systems.  Also, upon the occurrence of such a change of control, holders of Series D preferred shares that are not redeemed may at their option convert those Series D preferred shares into our common shares (or certain alternative consideration) at a conversion rate generally based on their $25.00 liquidation preference and the market price of our common shares at the time of conversion, subject to a cap.

In February 2012, we redeemed our 3,450,000 outstanding 8.875% Series B cumulative redeemable preferred shares at the stated liquidation preference price of $25.00 per share plus accrued and unpaid distributions to the date of redemption. We reduced net income available for common shareholders by $2,944, which represented the amount by which the liquidation preference for our Series B cumulative redeemable preferred shares that we redeemed exceeded our carrying amount for those preferred shares as of the date of redemption.

In September 2012, we redeemed 6,000,000 of our 12,700,000 outstanding 7.00% Series C cumulative redeemable preferred shares at the stated liquidation preference of $25.00 per share plus accrued and unpaid distributions to the date of redemption.  We reduced net income available for common shareholders by $5,040, which represented the amount by which the liquidation preference for our Series C cumulative redeemable preferred shares that we redeemed exceeded our carrying amount for those preferred shares as of the date of redemption.

Distributions

On January 17, 2012, we paid a $0.5546875 per share distribution to our Series B preferred shareholders with respect to the period ended January 14, 2012.

On each of February 15, 2012, May 15, 2012 and August 15, 2012, we paid a $0.4375 per share distribution to our Series C preferred shareholders with respect to the periods ended February 14, 2012, May 14, 2012 and August 14, 2012, respectively.  On October 1, 2012, we declared a $0.4375 per share distribution to our Series C preferred shareholders of record on October 31, 2012, with respect to the period ending November 14, 2012. We expect to pay this amount on or about November 15, 2012.

On April 16, 2012, July 16, 2012 and October 15, 2012, we paid a $0.43046875, $0.4453125 and $0.4453125 per share distribution to our Series D preferred shareholders with respect to the periods ended April 14, 2012, July 14, 2012 and October 14, 2012, respectively.

On each of February 23, 2012, May 24, 2012 and August 22, 2012, we paid a $0.45 per share distribution to our common shareholders.  On October 9, 2012, we declared a $0.47 per share regular quarterly distribution to our common shareholders of record on October 22, 2012.  We expect to pay this amount on or about November 21, 2012.

Common Share Issuances

As further described in Note 11, under the terms of our business management agreement with Reit Management & Research LLC, or RMR, on March 29, 2012 we issued 33,132 of our common shares of beneficial interest, $.01 par value per share, or our common shares, to RMR in payment of an incentive fee of approximately $741 for services rendered to us by RMR during 2011.

On May 9, 2012, pursuant to our equity compensation plan, we granted 2,000 of our common shares, valued at $25.58 per share, the closing price of our common shares on the NYSE on that day, to each of our five Trustees as part of their annual compensation.

On September 14, 2012, pursuant to our equity compensation plan, we granted an aggregate of 74,017 of our common shares, valued at $25.02 per share, the closing price of our common shares on the NYSE on that day, to our officers and certain employees of RMR.

At September 30, 2012, we owned 471 properties consisting of 286 hotels and 185 travel centers that were operated under ten management agreements or leases and leased one hotel, which is operated under a separate management agreement.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we funded $262,471 of improvements to certain of our properties, which pursuant to the terms of our management agreements and leases with our hotel managers and tenants, resulted in a $20,376 increase in our annual minimum returns and rents.

On January 31, 2012, we completed an acquisition of the entities which own the Royal Sonesta Hotel Boston in Cambridge, MA, or the Cambridge Hotel, (400 rooms) and lease the Royal Sonesta Hotel New Orleans in New Orleans, LA, or the New Orleans Hotel, (483 rooms) for total cash consideration of $150,500, excluding related acquisition costs of $3,261.  We have included the results of these hotels in our condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.  The pro forma impact of including the results of operations of the hotels from the beginning of the period is not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.  The following table summarizes our allocation of the acquisition cost to estimated fair value of the assets we acquired and the liabilities we assumed:

Land	$	32,436
Building	78,764
Furniture, fixtures and equipment	19,536
Intangible assets (including the leasehold value of the New Orleans Hotel)	22,326
Goodwill	7,658
Other, net	(2,562		)
Deferred tax liability	(7,658		)
Total	$	150,500

Simultaneous with this acquisition, we entered into management agreements with Sonesta International Hotels Corporation (formerly known as Sonesta Acquisition Corp.), or Sonesta.  See Notes 11 and 12 for further information about these transactions.

On July 12, 2012, we sold our Marriott International, Inc. or Marriott, branded hotel in St. Louis, MO for net proceeds of $28,850.  We recorded a gain on sale of $10,210 in the third quarter of 2012.

On August 24, 2012, we sold our Staybridge Suites branded hotel in Schaumburg, IL for net proceeds of $1,872.  We recorded a gain on sale of $329 in the third quarter of 2012.

On August 29, 2012, we sold our Staybridge Suites branded hotel in Auburn Hills, MI for net proceeds of $3,482.  We recorded a gain on sale of $63 in the third quarter of 2012.

Note 8. Income Taxes

We have elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and, accordingly are generally not subject to federal and most state income taxation on our operating income provided we distribute our taxable income to our shareholders and meet certain organization and operating requirements.  We are subject to income tax in Canada, Puerto Rico and certain states despite our REIT status.  Further, we lease our managed hotels to our wholly owned TRSs that, unlike most of our other subsidiaries, file a separate consolidated tax return and are subject to federal, state and foreign income taxes.  Our consolidated income tax provision (or benefit) includes the income tax provision (or benefit) related to the operations of our TRSs and certain state and foreign income taxes incurred by us despite our REIT status.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recognized a current income tax benefit (expense) of $276 and ($4,550), respectively, which includes $410 and ($1,921), respectively, of federal taxes, ($26) and ($78), respectively, of foreign taxes and ($108) and ($2,551), respectively, of certain state taxes that are payable without regard to our REIT status and TRS tax loss carry forwards. In addition, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recognized a deferred tax benefit (expense) of ($113) and $642, respectively, related to a basis difference at our Puerto Rico and New Orleans hotels and Canadian tax losses available to offset future income.
