•  Without the express prior written consent of the Company, the Presentation and any information contained within it may not be (i) reproduced (in whole or in part), (ii) copied at any time, (iii) used for any purpose other than your evaluation of the Company or (iv) provided to any other person, except your employees and advisors with a need to know who are advised of the confidentiality of the information. This Presentation does not constitute or form part of, and should not be construed as, an offer, invitation or inducement to purchase or subscribe for securities nor shall it or any part of it form the basis of, or be relied on in connection with, any contract or commitment whatsoever. This Presentation does not constitute either advice or commendation regarding any securities. Law restricts the communication of this presentation; it is not intended for distribution to, or use by any person in, any jurisdiction where such distribution or use would be contrary to local law or regulation.

•  Several factors could cause actual results, performance or achievements of the company to differ materially from those expressed in or contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Such risks include, but are not limited to, changes to general, domestic and foreign economic conditions; operating risks common in the lodging and franchising industries; changes to the desirability of our brands as viewed by hotel operators and customers; changes to the terms or termination of our contracts with franchisees; our ability to keep pace with improvements in technology utilized for reservations systems and other operating systems; fluctuations in the supply and demand for hotels rooms; the outcome of litigation; and our ability to effectively manage our indebtedness.

Generally, our use of words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “should,“ “will,” “forecast,” “plan,” project,” “assume” or similar words of futurity identify such forward-looking statements.
