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.

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.
