fees. The license agreement was terminated on January 5, 2004 for failure to pay franchisefees, among other reasons. This collection action against the franchisee and the individualguarantors seeks the recovery of about $1,500,000.00 in combined damages. The defendantsfiled a cross complaint on May 28, 2004 making insurance-related allegations against thirdparties unaffiliated with HWI and Promus (the “insurance parties”) and a counterclaim againstHWI and Promus alleging wrongful termination, breach of the implied covenant of good faith andfair dealing, promissory estoppel, tortious interference and fraudulent misrepresentations thatPromus would refrain from terminating the license agreement. The cross-complaint andcounterclaim sought in excess of $1,000,000 in combined damages and attorneys’ fees,expenses and costs from HWI, Promus and the insurance parties. HWI and Promus filed aDemurrer seeking dismissal of the cross-complaint on the basis that the defendants’ claimsagainst HWI and Promus are legally without merit based on the clear language in the licenseagreement.

Hilton Hotels Corporation, et al., District Court of Bexar County, Texas,407 th Judicial District, Case No. 2000-CI-13691.This action was filed on September 19, 2000 by Palacio del Rio, Ltd. (“Palacio”), the owner ofthe Palacio del Rio in San Antonio, Texas. The Palacio del Rio is a hotel managed by HHC(now HWI) pursuant to a management agreement. The petition alleges that by acquiringPromus Hotel Corporation and its subsidiaries, HWI violated a territorial restriction in themanagement contract prohibiting it from owning or operating other hotels within the restrictedterritory, specifically with respect to five managed hotels, seven franchised hotels, and a yet-tobebuilt Embassy Suites managed hotel. The petition named as defendants (i) HWI, PromusHotel Corporation, Promus Operating Company, Inc., Promus, Doubletree Corporation,Doubletree Hotels Corporation, and Hampton Inns, Inc. (collectively, the “Hilton Parties”) and (ii)Riverton Suites, Ltd. (“Riverton”) and HPI Suites, Inc. (“HPI”) (the developers of the EmbassySuites hotel). The petition was later amended on or about December 5, 2000 to add DoubletreeHotel Systems, Inc. as an additional defendant. As amended, the petition sets forth claims forbreach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of confidential relationship, unfaircompetition, tortious interference with contract and prospective contractual relationships, civilconspiracy, temporary and permanent injunctive relief, attorneys’ fees, and disgorgement offees and profits.On October 23, 2000, the Hilton Parties, Riverton, and HPI filed answers denying theallegations of the petition and asserting affirmative defenses, including an affirmative defense ofthe Hilton Parties that Palacio’s claims against the Hilton Parties were subject to mandatoryarbitration pursuant to an arbitration clause in the Palacio del Rio management agreement. TheHilton Parties filed a counterclaim asserting a claim against Palacio for tortious interference withbusiness relations and a request for a declaratory judgment that the territorial restriction was notviolated by HWI’s acquisition of pre-existing franchise and management agreements, or, in thealternative, that the territorial restriction is unenforceable. Riverton and HPI filed counterclaimsagainst Palacio asserting claims for tortious interference with contract, tortious interference withprospective business relations, malicious prosecution, abuse of process, and unfair competition,and also named as additional defendants two entities related to Palacio, Zachry Enterprises,Inc. and Zachry Hospitality Corporation (collectively, “Zachry”).

interference with contract, tortious interference with prospective business relations, abuse ofprocess, unfair competition, suit to quiet title, attorneys’ fees, breach of contract, breach offiduciary duty, and breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing. (Riverton, HPI, and Hixonare referred to collectively as the “Hixon Parties”).On or about November 27, 2000, Hixon filed a cross-claim against the Hilton Parties (other thanHWI) for fraud, fraudulent inducement, fraudulent concealment, civil conspiracy, negligentmisrepresentation, breach of contract, and violations of the Texas Free Enterprise and AntitrustAct of 1983, and against HWI for fraud, fraudulent concealment, civil conspiracy, and violationsof the Texas Free Enterprise and Antitrust Act of 1983, based on allegations that the HiltonParties induced Hixon to enter into the license agreement and management agreement for theEmbassy Suites hotel despite a possible breach of the territorial restriction in the Palaciomanagement contract. In response to Hixon’s cross-claims against the Hilton Parties, Palacioand Zachry filed cross-claims on or about November 29, 2000 for contribution against the HiltonParties.On December 13, 2000, the court granted motions by the Hilton Parties to compel arbitration ofthe claims between the Hilton Parties and Palacio and stay all proceedings between the HiltonParties and Palacio pending arbitration. In November, 2001, Palacio dismissed all of its claimsin arbitration against Doubletree Corporation, Doubletree Hotels Corporation, and DoubletreeHotels Systems, Inc. An arbitration hearing was held on Palacio’s claims against the remainingHilton Parties in April and May, 2002. In August, 2002, the arbitration panel issued a finaldecision and award in which it held, with respect to the territorial restriction issues, that (i) theterritorial restriction in the Palacio del Rio management contract applied to hotels owned,managed, or franchised under any brands owned by the Hilton Parties, (ii) Palacio could notunreasonably withhold its consent to the Hilton Parties’ ownership, management, or franchisingof any such hotels, and (iii) Palacio had not unreasonably withheld its consent to the ownership,management, and franchising of the properties at issue. The panel did not award any monetaryrelief to Palacio on its claims related to the territorial restriction; but (y) deleted a right of firstrefusal on sale contained in the Palacio del Rio management agreement, and (z) inserted aperformance test in the Palacio del Rio management agreement under which HWI’s basemanagement fee would be reduced by specified amounts if the Palacio del Rio’s RevPAR indexfell below its pre-merger level. The panel also awarded each side a portion of its respectiveattorneys’ fees, with a greater portion awarded to HWI.In January, 2002, the state court granted a motion of the Hilton Parties for partial summaryjudgment and dismissed the Hixon Parties’ claims against the Hilton Parties for breach ofcontract. In April, 2003, the state court granted a motion of the Hilton Parties for partialsummary judgment and dismissed the Hixon Parties’ claims against the Hilton Parties forviolations of the Texas Free Enterprise and Antitrust Act of 1983. Trial on the remaining statecourt claims commenced on May 27, 2003. At the close of evidence on June 5, 2003, the courtgranted the Hilton Parties’ motions for a directed verdict as to the Hixon Parties’ claims forfraud, fraudulent inducement, fraudulent concealment, and civil conspiracy. The parties thenentered into a settlement under which the Hilton Parties paid $1,800,000 to Hixon in exchangefor dismissal of the negligent misrepresentation claim and full mutual releases of all other knownand unknown claims.{000011-999987 00196628.DOCX; 2} 13September 2012 HGI (Canada)

The action followed a previous state court lawsuitbrought by Promus against the same franchisees, Promus Hotels, Inc. v. Inn on Robinwood,Inc. and Alamance Inns, Inc. (Tennessee Chancery Court, 30th Judicial District at Memphis, No.110186-2 T.D.), to recover unpaid fees. The actions concerned the franchisees’ attempt toreject various system wide Hampton Inn programs instituted by Promus, despite fullparticipation in those programs by all other franchisees in the Hampton Inn system. Believingthat the franchisees’ actions were in violation of the license agreements and were potentiallyundermining the integrity and uniformity of the Hampton Inn system and thereby harming itsother franchisees, Promus concluded that it was necessary to immediately remove thefranchisees from the system. Promus agreed in this unique circumstance to pay the franchisees$575,000 for early termination of both license agreements, dismissal with prejudice of bothactions, and the franchisees’ prompt exit from the Hampton Inn system including deidentificationof the properties.Pillion Properties, Inc. v.

Table shows Franchise Application Fee for the hotel size shown. Your FranchiseApplication Fee may be greater. (See Article 6 for circumstances where the FranchiseApplication Fee will be greater and where we will refund the Franchise Application Fee). We donot finance any fee.2. If you apply to convert an existing hotel to a Hilton Garden Inn hotel or apply for aChange of Ownership or other Re-licensing, we charge a PIP fee for the hotel. The PIP fee isnon-refundable. In rare situations which probably do not apply to you, we may waive the PIPfee. We occasionally apply the PIP fee towards the payment of your Franchise Application Fee.3. For all new Hilton Garden Inn hotels, we recommend and may require a market studyfrom a nationally-recognized independent firm which discusses the competition for yourproposed hotel, together with a minimum five year operating pro forma from you, based on themarket study, showing your anticipated operating results. While we do not require prospectivefranchisees who are converting existing hotels to obtain a market study, occasionally we mayencourage a prospective franchisee to commission a market study to evaluate the economicconsequences of conversion. Our acceptance of the market study with a pro forma is not afinancial performance representation on our part or a ratification of the projections performed bythe consultant. (See Article 7)4. Before you purchase the land, you should – at a minimum – consider obtaining a Phase1 environmental assessment to determine the environmental condition of the land. Based onthis Phase 1 report, additional investigations and tests may be necessary before you make yourpurchase decision. Many lenders will require a Phase 1 report before lending purchase money.{000011-999987 00196628.DOCX; 2} 32September 2012 HGI (Canada)

5. We cannot estimate real estate costs. These costs vary widely by reason of location,size of parcel, competitive market conditions and type of interest acquired.Hilton Garden Inn hotels generally will be located in suburban markets near metropolitan citiesand in or near high density office parks, airports and other demand-generating areas. SomeHilton Garden Inn hotels will be located in special urban locations and seasonal vacationmarkets.6. The cost of construction varies from site to site depending on the amount and nature ofland on which the hotel is built, the type of construction, materials used, union involvement,regional cost variations, competitive conditions and other factors. We must approve the finalplans, designs and specifications for your hotel. You must construct your hotel in accordancewith approved final plans and the Prototype Drawings and Design and Construction Manual.(See Article 14)Estimates include the cost of construction, lounges, paving, elevators, site lighting, normal sitework for the building, utilities and supporting facilities (indoor/outdoor pool, landscaping,exercise room, etc.).If you are converting an existing hotel, your costs will most likely be lower, but you must conformguest rooms, public areas and exterior areas to our standards. Your costs will depend on thetype and condition of your hotel, its age, physical structure and quality of furnishing. Becausethere are so many variables involving any particular existing hotel, we can give no average cost.7. This is an estimate for the total cost of furnishing a 136-room Hilton Garden Inn hotel.The cost of furniture, fixtures and equipment will depend on the number and type of guestrooms (for example, double rooms versus king rooms), and the extent of the food and beverageservice offered, the design scheme which is selected and possible other factors. Estimatesinclude the cost of telephone systems, furniture, fixtures and equipment for guest rooms,corridors, restaurants and lounges and all public areas. These estimates do not include thecosts of kitchen and laundry equipment, which are included as part of the estimatedconstruction costs.In a Change of Ownership, Re-licensing or Conversion situation, you will incur costs to bringyour existing property into conformity with the System as specified in your FranchiseAgreement. We cannot estimate these costs at this time as they vary significantly based on theamount, type and physical condition of the hotel's existing property, fixtures, equipment,furnishings, furniture, signage, and similar items.8. Inventory includes food and beverages and other immediately consumable items suchas fuel, soap, cleansing material, office supplies and similar items. "Operating equipment"includes such items as chinaware, glassware, linens, silverware and uniforms.9. Cost depends on location, type, quantity and size of exterior signs. Your signs mustconform to System specifications. If you are converting an existing hotel, you must change theidentification to that of a Hilton Garden Inn hotel, change all signs (and highway billboards, ifany) and substitute Hilton Garden Inn identification on operating supplies and equipment,including brochures and paper items. Signs include freestanding signs and primary identificationfor the building. The amount includes installation, freight, foundation and wiring. You mustinstall, display, and maintain signage displaying or containing the Brand name and otherdistinguishing characteristics in accordance with plans, specifications and standards we{000011-999987 00196628.DOCX; 2} 33September 2012 HGI (Canada)

establish for System Hotels. You must purchase exterior signage from a vendor currentlylicensed by us. You may contact your Architecture & Construction representatives for a currentlist. (See Article 14)10. The “up-front” software costs for the OnQ program are based on the size of the hoteland number of workstations at your hotel. The up-front computer costs are not refundable.Under the OnQ program, the cost of the hardware is paid from a portion of your MonthlyProgram Fee. In addition to the computer hardware and software requirements and costsdescribed in Article 6 (the required OnQ program), we require you to provide high-speedinternet access for all guest rooms and meeting rooms at your hotel in accordance with brandstandards. You must purchase and install additional hardware and software to meet this highspeedinternet access requirement in addition to the hardware and software for OnQ. Theadditional hardware, software, and support must meet HWI’s requirements and specifications.This hardware will be provided by third parties chosen by HWI, installed by HWI or its agents,and maintained by HWI or its agents. You must also arrange and pay for the ongoing highspeed internet service. You must purchase this service from HSS or its designated supplier.We currently estimate that it will cost between $1,500 and $3,900 per month. This estimate isbased on 136 rooms and includes not only HSIA (e.g., the HSIA connection) but also monthlyservice for the required dial-in-line, 24x7 call center support and HSIA equipment break-fixmaintenance. Your costs will depend on your hotel size, number of meeting rooms, bandwidthusage.11. All Hilton Garden Inn hotels must have computer workstations and printers available forguest use, free-of-charge, in a business center (“Business Center”). You must purchase andinstall Lenovo M90Z All-in-One Non-Touch Screen workstations in the Business Center. If thehotel has 250 guest rooms or less, you must purchase and install 2 computer workstations andat least one HP LaserJet p3015N black and white printer. If the hotel has more than 250 guestrooms, you must purchase and install 3 computer workstations and at least one HP ColorLaserJet CM 3530 Multi-Function Printer. If you purchase additional workstations, printers andupgrade options, your costs will be higher. The estimate does not include any costs for internetconnectivity, power or additional furniture or equipment.Under the OnQ program you do not need to purchase the standard Network AuthorizedEquipment. However, if you choose to, you may purchase the hardware required for the OnQprogram from a third party vendor. We are unable to estimate the costs of purchasing thehardware required for the OnQ program from a third-party vendor because the range of costswould be so wide. If you purchase from a third party vendor, you must pay HWI for all itsreasonable expenses in determining that the equipment conforms to its specifications;configuration costs; installation costs; reasonable travel and other expenses of HWI or HSSemployees and vendors who perform installation services; necessary communication vehicles(phone lines, network connections); and installation, rescheduling and cancellation fees forconnection to communication vehicles. In 2011, costs for work to ensure that hardware fromthird party vendors met the technical criteria ranged from $5,000 to $10,000 depending on yourlocation, local connection charges, your service agreement with the vendor, and the number ofwork-stations at the hotel. Computer system fees are not refundable. (See Article 6 for moreinformation.)12. You must maintain the minimum levels and types of insurance specified in the Manual atyour expense. This insurance must be with insurers having minimum ratings we specify; nameas additional insureds the parties we specify in the Manual; and carry the endorsements and{000011-999987 00196628.DOCX; 2} 34September 2012 HGI (Canada)

notice requirements we specify in the Manual. Insurance premiums vary widely by reason oflocation, size of hotel and type of coverage purchased and cannot be estimated.13. Actual cost depends on work done by an accountant and attorney, and standard regionalrates.14. The licenses and permits you must obtain to operate your hotel vary depending on theprovince, municipality or other political subdivision in which the hotel is located.15. You will incur pre-opening expenses for salaries and wages; personnel training; sales;administrative and general expenses; project management; technical services; advertising; and,opening festivities. Because there are so many variables for an existing hotel, we cannotestimate these pre-conversion expenses for a franchisee converting an existing hotel.16. "Contingencies" means unanticipated construction cost overruns and other unanticipatedexpenses. Because there are so many variables for an existing hotel, we cannot estimate thesepre-conversion contingencies for a franchisee converting an existing hotel.17. The estimate of additional funds for the initial period of your hotel business is based onestimated staff salaries and operating expenses for the first three months of operation. Theadditional funds required will vary by the area and the relative effectiveness of you and yourstaff. You must provide security deposits for utilities and rent, if any (and possibly for otheritems).We and our affiliates generally do not finance your initial investment. Normally, you mustprovide equity capital for at least 20% to 50% of the total initial cost. You may supply theremainder by debt financing, if we approve the financing plan. Banks and other lendinginstitutions may require you to provide equity capital to cover at least 50% to 80% of the totalcost. A mortgage is generally necessary to secure financing. Due to variations in the term ofdebt financing and other market factors and conditions, we cannot estimate the period andamount of loan repayments, the interest rate, or other terms and conditions of any financing.Our approval of a financing plan depends on a number of factors, including the overall cost ofthe project, the potential market of the hotel, the total amount to be financed in relation to equitycontributions, and the material financial terms of the proposed debt financing.In compiling these estimates we rely on HWI’s 50 years of experience in operating orfranchising hotels. You should review these figures carefully with a business advisor beforemaking any decision to purchase the license. If you are converting an existing hotel, your costswill most likely be lower, but you must conform guest rooms, public areas and exterior areas toour standards. Your costs will depend on the type and condition of your hotel, its age, physicalstructure and quality of furnishing. Because there are so many variables involving any particularexisting hotel, we can give no average cost.ARTICLE 8ANNUAL OPERATING COSTSWe do not provide an estimate of annual operating costs. Further, we do not authorize oursalespeople or any of our employees, agents or representatives to provide estimates ofoperating costs. If you have received such an estimate, please let us know before you sign theFranchise Agreement.{000011-999987 00196628.DOCX; 2} 35September 2012 HGI (Canada)

ARTICLE 9FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE REPRESENTATIONSWe do not provide projections of earnings, but do provide certain historic performanceinformation for Hilton Garden Inn hotels operating in Canada and the United States (but not itsTerritories or Possessions) that were open before January 1, 2010 and were in operation onDecember 31, 2011 (“Mature”) and reported data to Smith Travel Research. The charts belowinclude information on all Mature Hilton Garden Inn hotels, except as otherwise indicated. Allinformation presented in the charts is for calendar years 2010 and 2011.As of December 31, 2011, there were a total of 514Hilton Garden Inn branded hotels operatingin Canada and the US (not including its Territories or Possessions). Of these, 475 were Mature.11 of the Mature hotels were Company-Managed and 464 were Franchisee-Managed.In this Article 9, the term "Company-Managed" refers to hotels owned and/or managed by HWIor its affiliates, including franchised hotels. “Franchisee-Managed” refers to hotels that arefranchised and are managed by the franchisee or a non-HWI management company retained bythe franchisee.The following charts show Average Room Rate and Average Occupancy for Mature HiltonGarden Inn hotels and the number and percentage of Company-Managed and Franchisee-Managed Mature hotels that met or exceeded the average. Average Room Rate and AverageOccupancy are calculated based on information routinely reported to HWI by individual SystemHotels.In our view, the information provided in this Article 9 is reasonable, as it is based on actualhistorical information, and our knowledge of the hotels operating in the United States andCanada for the stated periods. There are many variables which can affect the financialperformance of any hotel, including the state of the market and the efforts and abilities of theoperator. Many factors, including location, management capabilities, local market conditions,and other factors, are unique to each hotel, and may significantly impact the financialperformance of a hotel.Room Rate 2010 2011Average Room Rate of Mature Hilton Garden Inn hotels $113.09 $116.19Number and percentage of Mature Company-Managed Hilton Garden Innhotels which met or exceeded Average Room RateNumber and percentage of Mature Franchisee-Managed Hilton Garden Innhotels which met or exceeded Average Room RateSource: Hilton Worldwide, Inc.5/45.5% 5/45.5%140/30.2% 136/29.3%{000011-999987 00196628.DOCX; 2} 36September 2012 HGI (Canada)

Occupancy Index and RevPAR Indexcalculations are based on competitive set data provided by Smith Travel Research, Inc., anindependent research firm that provides information to the hotel industry. Smith TravelResearch receives information directly from hotel chains or individual hotel properties. We havenot audited or independently verified the information provided by Smith Travel Research. Theindices presented are relative to a competitive set that has been identified for Smith TravelResearch by each Mature Company-Managed or Franchisee-Managed hotel. They do notrepresent every hotel or lodging facility in a geographic area. Generally, each of Company-Managed or Franchisee-Managed hotels must identify at least three competitive hotels.The charts for Occupancy Index and RevPAR Index utilize a weighting that involves adjustingthe competitive set’s rooms available (supply) to equal the room count of the subject property.After each competitive set is weighted, the brand performance aggregates are calculated. SmithTravel Research refers to this process as “portfolio weighting”.Occupancy Index - The Occupancy Index measures a hotel’s occupancy performance relativeto an aggregated grouping of hotels (competitive set, market, tract, etc.). Occupancy Index isdesigned to measure a hotel's share of the segment's demand (demand = rooms sold). Anindex of 100 represents a fair share compared to the aggregated group of hotels. An indexgreater than 100 represents more than fair share of the aggregated group’s performance.The Occupancy Index is calculated as follows:(Hotel Occupancy / Comp Set Occupancy) x 100 = Occupancy Index.Occupancy Index 2010 2011Average Occupancy Index of Mature Hilton Garden Inn hotels 108.51 108.65Number and percentage of Mature Company-Managed Hilton Garden Innhotels which met or exceeded Average Occupancy Index RateNumber and percentage of Mature Franchisee-Managed Hilton Garden Innhotels which met or exceeded Average Occupancy Index Rate6/54.5% 5/45.5%223/48.1% 207/44.6%Source: Smith Travel Research, Inc. and Hilton Worldwide, Inc.{000011-999987 00196628.DOCX; 2} 37September 2012 HGI (Canada)

RevPAR Index - The RevPAR Index measures a hotel’s RevPAR (revenue per available room)relative to an aggregated grouping of hotels (competitive set, market, tract, etc.). An index of100 represents a fair share compared to the aggregated group of hotels.

Youshould conduct an independent investigation of the occupancy rates and room rates you willachieve. Our current and former franchisees may be one source of this information. You shouldconstruct your own business plan and pro forma cash flow statement, balance sheet, andstatement of operations, and make your own financial projections regarding sales, revenues,costs, customer base, and business development for your hotel. You should obtain, from a firmwith satisfactory experience in appraising and evaluating hotel operations, an independentmarket study containing projections for sales, costs, income and profits.Actual results vary between hotels, and we expect that they will vary from franchisee tofranchisee. Your results will be affected by a variety of factors including the following: the natureand extent of your competition; whether competitive hotels in your market are affiliated with anychains or other centralized reservation systems; the age and established customer base ofcompetitive hotels; the in-room and common area facilities and amenities of your hotel versuscompetitive hotels; whether your geographic area has a greater or lesser demand for hotelaccommodations, which can turn on a number of factors; the frequency of business travelto/from your geographic area; whether your hotel is situated at or near an airport; whether yourhotel is situated close to or remote from a central business district; whether your hotel issituated in a geographic area that attracts vacation travelers; the type of hotel you operate –resort, full-service, limited service, all suites or rooms only; whether your hotel offers food,beverage and/or convention and meeting services; whether your hotel is situated near a college,resort attraction, theme park or other institution that generates lodging demand; the length oftime your hotel has been open to the public; and the length of time your hotel has been affiliatedwith us.{000011-999987 00196628.DOCX; 2} 39September 2012 HGI (Canada)

We do not offer any other financing and do not guaranteeyour note, lease or other obligations.We may offer, in our sole discretion, certain development incentives (the “Incentive”) fordevelopment and conversion hotels. The Incentive is a loan that is not subject to repaymentunless the franchise terminates before the end of the Term (generally the first 20 years ofoperation of the hotel) or a Transfer occurs. If a Transfer occurs, you will repay the balance ofthe Incentive. At each anniversary of the Hotel Opening Date, the repayable amount of theIncentive reduces by 1/20th of the original amount. To receive the Incentive, you and yourprincipals, as co–makers, must sign a development incentive note (the “Note”) in the formattached as Exhibit A-1 when you sign the Franchise Agreement. We describe the terms of theNote in greater detail below. We may negotiate these incentives when business circumstanceswarrant. These programs may be modified, limited, extended or terminated at any time withoutadvance notice or amendment of this Disclosure Document.Any Incentive will be disbursed to you after: (i) you have passed a final credit/financial reviewwith no material adverse changes in the business, legal, litigation, bankruptcy status or financesof the applicant, the guarantors or the project since preliminary approval; (ii) the hotel openswith our consent; (iii) you have completed any PIP required by the Franchise Agreement; and(iv) you have paid the Franchise Application Fee. The Note bears no interest except in the caseof default.

If youtransfer the hotel, you must repay the balance of the Note unless the Transferee and itsprincipals assume the obligation to repay the Incentive and provide us with such other securityas we may require in our sole discretion. If you are purchasing an existing hotel and youassume the obligation to repay the unamortized balance of the Note with our consent, you mustrepay the balance if the franchise terminates after your purchase of the hotel.ARTICLE 11TRAINING AND ASSISTANCEHWI offers required training courses to those affiliated with the System for orientation and aspart of the certification process.

Agreement (the “Restrictive Period”). We will not normally grant a Restricted Area Provision fora Change of Ownership or Re-licensing, although we will occasionally do so under certainunique circumstances. The following discussion applies where we have agreed to give you aRestricted Area Provision in your Franchise Agreement:1. Restricted Area. The boundaries of the Restricted Area will normally depend on therelevant market in the immediate area and competitive circumstances in the relevant market atthe time you sign the Franchise Agreement. The boundaries will vary in size and shape fromhotel to hotel. Boundaries will not be delineated according to any standard formula, but may bedelineated in various ways, including references to cities, metropolitan areas, counties or otherpolitical subdivisions, references to streets or highways, or references to an area encompassedwithin a radius of specified distance from the front door of the hotel.2. Restricted Area Provision. The Restricted Area Provision will typically restrict us, andthe Entities from operating, or authorizing someone else to operate, another System Hotelunder the Brand during the Restrictive Period and within the Restricted Area (except asdescribed in Paragraph 3 below).3. Exclusions from the Restricted Area Provision. The Restricted Area Provision willgenerally not apply to any products, services or businesses (other than a hotel or motel underthe Brand within the Restricted Area during the specified period), whether now or laterconstructed, owned, operated, managed, leased, franchised or licensed by us, or an Entity, orany successors to such entities (by purchase, merger, acquisition or otherwise), including, butnot limited to, the following: (a) any non-“Hilton”-branded hotels, motels or inns of any kind; (b)except as expressly provided for in any Restricted Area provision, any other hotel under the“Hilton” brand name, including any Hilton full-service hotel or other full-service hotels, any HiltonSuites or other all-suites hotels, any Hilton Garden Inn or other limited service hotels, or anyHomewood Suites by Hilton or other extended-stay hotels; (c) any shared ownership propertiescommonly known as "vacation ownership" or "time-share ownership" or similar real estateproperties; (d) any gaming-oriented hotels or facilities; and (e) any hotel or hotels which aremembers of a chain or group of hotels (provided that such chain or group has or contains aminimum of four or more hotels in operation), all or substantially all, (but in no event less thanfour hotels) of which are (in a single transaction with a single seller or transferor) after the dateof this Disclosure Document, owned, operated, acquired, leased, managed, franchised orlicensed by, or merged with, any entity acquired by, or merged with, or joined through amarketing agreement with, us or HWI or any of our affiliates (or the operation of which istransferred to us or an Entity, including any other Network hotels).4. Restrictive Period. The Restrictive Period will normally be for an agreed time period.Generally, this period will be shorter than the term of the Franchise Agreement, usually tied to aspecified number of years from the date your Franchise Application was approved. In somecases, the Restrictive Period may reduce in geographic scope after an agreed time period. Thecontinuation of the Restrictive Period will not depend on your achieving any particular salesvolume or market penetration. An increase in population in the Restrictive Area will not affect itand there are no other circumstances when your Restrictive Area may be altered. Historically,we have extended the Restrictive Period for the full term of the Franchise Agreement; however,we do not intend to do so in the future.IMPORTANT NOTES: A Restricted Area Provision will not give you protection from previouslyexisting hotels owned, managed or licensed us or an Entity or their predecessors, or from anyhotel site for which we or one of our affiliates or its predecessor have approved a Franchise{000011-999987 00196628.DOCX; 2} 60September 2012 HGI (Canada)

We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basisfor our opinion.In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,the financial position of Hilton Garden Inns International Franchise LLC at December 31, 2011and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31,2011, 2010 and 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the UnitedStates.June 27, 20121

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSNote 1: OrganizationHilton Garden Inns International Franchise LLC (“we,” “us," or “our”) is a Delaware limited liability corporation that was formedon October 15, 2007 to be the franchisor of the Hilton Garden Inns brand outside the United States. We are a wholly ownedsubsidiary of Hilton International Franchise Holding LLC (the “Parent”), which, in-turn, is a wholly owned subsidiary of HiltonWorldwide, Inc. (“Hilton”).We license intellectual property from a wholly owned affiliate of Hilton on a royalty free basis and then license the use of thetrademarks to third party hotel owners under long-term franchise agreements.Note 2: Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting PoliciesBasis of PresentationReclassificationsCertain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications includepresenting the provision for doubtful accounts and the change in accounts receivable separately within the statements of cashflows.Use of EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requiresmanagement to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and, accordingly, ultimate results could differfrom those estimates.Summary of Significant Accounting PoliciesRevenue RecognitionRevenues are primarily derived from the following sources and are generally recognized as services are rendered:• Franchise and license fees represent fees earned in connection with the licensing of our brand name, usually under longtermfranchise agreements with the hotel owners. We charge a monthly franchise license fee based on a percentage ofroom revenue and recognize revenue as the fee is earned, which is in accordance with the terms of the agreement.• Franchise sales and change of ownership fees are fees earned in connection with the sale or change of ownership of afranchise, which includes application and initiation fees for new hotels entering the system. We also recognize fees fromhotel owners to convert existing brands to our brand name. These fees are recognized as revenue when it is determinedthat the fees are non-refundable, all services required to earn the fee have been performed, and we have no remainingcontractual obligations.Cash and Cash EquivalentsCash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with original maturities, when purchased, of three months or less.Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful AccountsAccounts receivable represents amounts due from franchisees and is presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Werecord an allowance for doubtful accounts when we specifically identify a receivable balance that will not be collected based onmanagement’s review of payment and collection activity and the financial condition of the franchisee. In addition to specificallyidentified receivables, we record an allowance on the general population of accounts receivable that we believe are likelyuncollectible based on historical collection activity and current business conditions.5

Franchise DepositsFranchise deposits represent franchise initiation and application fees that are collected at the time a third party applies for a franchiselicense. These amounts are recorded as a liability until the application is approved and we have no remaining contractual obligations.At that time, the deposits are recognized as revenue. If the franchise application is not approved, the application fee is refundedto the applicant, less processing fees.Currency TranslationWe generally transact business in the local currency of the franchisee with our functional currency being the United States dollar("USD"). Income and expense amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated to USD at the average exchange rate forthe period. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to USD at the exchanges rates prevailing as ofthe financial statement date and the related gains and losses are reflected in the statement of operations and member's capital.Note 3: Fair Value MeasurementsFair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in theprincipal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on themeasurement date. We believe that the fair values of our assets and liabilities approximate their reported carrying amounts as ofDecember 31, 2011 and 2010.Note 4: Income TaxesWe franchise hotels in various jurisdictions throughout the world. Certain jurisdictions require the taxation of payments made forfranchise licensing and certain other fees to foreign domiciled entities. The taxation rates for these payments vary by jurisdictionand in some cases may be exempt from any withholding of taxes based on cross-jurisdictional tax relief agreements. Incircumstances where we are subject to a tax on payments made for franchise licensing and certain other fees, the franchisee isresponsible for the withholding and remittance of these foreign taxes to the local taxing authority. Taxes related to franchiselicensing and certain other fees, if any, are presented as foreign withholding tax expense in the statement of operations and member’scapital. Taxes which have been withheld by the franchisee which have not been remitted to the local taxing authority are presentedas accrued foreign withholding taxes on the balance sheet. To the extent a franchise licensing or certain other fee has been collectedin advance of revenue recognition (e.g. refundable application fees), the related tax and is presented as prepaid foreign withholdingtaxes and deferred revenue on the balance sheet.No provision is made in our accounts for domestic income taxes because, for U.S. income tax purposes, we are treated as adisregarded entity and all items of taxable income and expense are included in the computation of taxable income of Hilton. Theresults of operations reflected in the accompanying statements of operations may differ from amounts reported in our federalincome tax returns because of differences in accounting policies adopted for financial and tax reporting purposes.If there is uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements, we use a prescribed more-likely-than-not recognitionthreshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expectedto be taken in tax return.Note 5: Commitments and ContingenciesWe are subject to litigation arising from the normal course of business. While the ultimate results of claims and litigation cannotbe predicted with certainty, we expect the resolution of all pending or threatened claims and litigation to have an immaterial effecton our results of operations or financial position.In connection with the acquisition of Hilton by affiliates of The Blackstone Group in October 2007, Hilton entered into a seniorsecured debt agreement and all of our assets and franchise contracts were pledged as non-borrower guarantor and non-borrowerfranchise pledgor collateral under the terms of the agreement. We are one of many Hilton subsidiaries whose assets and contractswere pledged as collateral under the terms of the senior secured debt agreement, as have the majority of Hilton’s tangible assetsand contractual rights. The senior secured debt, as modified, has varying terms with extension options through November 2015.We have not recorded a guarantee liability as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, due to the nature of the parent and subsidiaryrelationship between us and Hilton.6

Note 6: Related Party TransactionsWe maintain intercompany balances with Hilton affiliates, resulting from Hilton’s centralized cash management system. One ofthese balances relates to franchise deposits, which are collected on our behalf by Hilton affiliates and deposited into a lockboxaccount to which we have no access. Amounts due from Hilton affiliates for franchise deposits are reflected as an asset and arerepayable to us upon demand. The remainder of due from Hilton affiliates represents the amounts that are not expected to berepaid and are reflected as a component of member’s capital as of December 31, 2011 and 2010.We also have an operator agreement with a Hilton affiliate, whereby we pay a fee of five percent of revenue, as defined in theagreement, to cover our operating expenses. These expenses are recorded in the statements of operations and member's capitalas incurred for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009. Operating expenses that are payable are reflected as areduction of amounts due from Hilton affiliates.Note 7: Subsequent EventsWe have evaluated all subsequent events through June 27, 2012, the date that the financial statements were available to be issued.7
