Indenture, determine not to have any of such Notes represented by one or more
Global Notes and, in such event, will issue individual Notes in exchange for the
Global Note or Global Notes representing the Notes. Individual Notes so issued

(g) Applicability of Discharge, Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance
Provisions. The Discharge, Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance provisions in

ARTICLE 3
ADDITIONAL COVENANTS
Section 3.1 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) (i) 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 (the "Exchange Act"), with the Trustee) prior
to the incurrence of such additional Debt and (ii) 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 limitations 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 1.5x, on a pro forma basis after giving effect thereto and to the
application of the proceeds therefrom, and calculated on the assumption that (i)
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
such period; (ii) 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
7
any revolving credit facility shall be computed based upon the average daily
balance of such Debt during such period); (iii) 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 (iv) 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 200% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Unsecured Debt of
the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.
ARTICLE 4
ADDITIONAL EVENTS OF DEFAULT
Section 4.1 For purposes of this Supplemental Indenture and the Notes,
in addition to the Events of Default set forth in Section 501 of the Indenture,
it shall also constitute an "Event of Default" if a default under any bond,
debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness of the Company (including a
default with respect to any other series of securities), or under any mortgage,
indenture or other instrument of the Company under which there may be issued or
by which there may be secured or evidenced any indebtedness for money borrowed
by the Company (or by any Subsidiary, the repayment of which the Company has
guaranteed or for which the Company is directly responsible or liable as obligor
or guarantor) having an aggregate principal amount outstanding of at least
$20,000,000, whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be incurred
or created, which default shall have resulted in such indebtedness becoming or
being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise
have become due and payable, without such indebtedness having been discharged or
such acceleration having been rescinded or annulled within a period of ten days
after there shall have been given, by registered or certified mail, to the
Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at
least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, a written notice
specifying such default and requiring the Company to cause such indebtedness to
be discharged or cause such acceleration to be rescinded or annulled and stating
that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder.
8
Section 4.2 Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in the
Indenture, upon any acceleration of the Notes under Section 502 of the
Indenture, the amount immediately due and payable in respect of the Notes shall
equal the Outstanding principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest, plus the
Make-Whole Amount.

HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES TRUST
9.125% Senior Notes due 2010
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 9.125%. The Company will pay interest
semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing on
January 15, 2001 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 immediately preceding January 1 and July 1.
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 has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of the
original issuance of the Notes.
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 as a part of a series issued
under an Indenture dated as of February 25, 1998, a Supplemental Indenture No. 4
dated as of July 14, 2000 and a Supplemental Indenture No. 5 dated as of July
28, 2000 (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 (15 U.S. Code
▇▇.▇▇. 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Indenture. The Notes are
subject to all such terms, 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 unsecured general obligations of the Company. The Notes initially issued
pursuant to said Supplemental Indenture No. 4 or Supplemental Indenture No. 5
are in an aggregate principal amount of $50,000,000.
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-2
plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the applicable Redemption Date
and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount.
As used herein the term "Make-Whole Amount" means, in connection with
any optional redemption or accelerated payment of any Notes, 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 not been made, determined by
discounting, on a semiannual basis, such principal and interest at the
Reinvestment Rate (as defined herein) (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
not been made, over (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Notes being
redeemed or paid.
As used herein the term "Reinvestment Rate" means a rate per annum
equal to the sum of 0.50% (fifty 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, 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 Supplemental 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.
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
A-3
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 WITH ALL
AMENDMENTS THERETO (THE "DECLARATION"), IS DULY FILED IN THE OFFICE OF THE
