ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.
The response to Item 3 is hereby further amended by adding thereto the
following:
Underwriting Agreement
On April 20, 2003, CHPLP entered into an Underwriting Agreement with
UBS Securities LLC (the "Underwriter") whereby the Underwriter purchased from
the Reporting Persons, 2,500,000 shares of HT Common Shares (the "Initial
Offering") at a purchase price of $10 per common share (the "Per Share Purchase
Price"). In addition, the Reporting Persons granted the Underwriter the option
to purchase up to an additional 316,460 shares of HT Common Shares (the
"Over-Allotment" and, together with the Initial Offering, the "Offering") at the
Per Share Purchase Price. The Reporting Persons will receive, before deducting
related fees and expenses, an aggregate amount of $25,000,000 ($28,164,600 in
the event the Over-Allotment is exercised by the Underwriter) in connection with
its sale of its HT Common Shares.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.
The response to Item 4 is hereby further amended by adding thereto the
following:
On April 16, 2004, the Reporting Persons exchanged 190,266 units of its
HLP Preferred Units for 2,816,460 shares of HT Common Shares. As a result of the
Initial Offering, 2,500,000 shares of HT Common Shares were sold, thereby
reducing the Reporting Persons' beneficial ownership of the Issuer to
approximately 8.5%. In the event the Over-Allotment is exercised, the Reporting
Persons beneficial ownership of the Issuer will be further reduced to
approximately 6.8%.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF ISSUER.
The response to Item 5 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety by the
following:
(a)-(c) As of the date of this Amendment No. 2 after completion of the Initial
Offering, the Reporting Persons beneficially owned in the aggregate 1,508,601
shares of HT Common Shares, constituting approximately 8.5% of the outstanding
HT Common Shares (based on
(Page 6 of 9)
the 13,571,665 Class A Shares outstanding on March 31, 2004, according to HT's
Prospectus Supplement, filed with the Commission on April 21, 2004).
Pursuant to the Standstill Agreement described in Item 3 above, CHPLP
may vote its HT securities only to the extent such securities do not exceed 40%
of the total issued and outstanding HT Common Shares.
The following table sets forth certain information with respect to HT
Common Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons listed after
completion of the Initial Offering:

Griswold, Thomas J. Hutchison, III, Craig M. McAllaster, Charles A. Muller,
Robert E. Parsons, Jr., James M. Seneff, Jr. and C. Brian Strickland shall not
