Since a Hilton Garden Inn hotel contains limited meeting facilities, itdoes not compete with other hotels for convention trade. Due to its focused food and beverageoperations, a Hilton Garden Inn hotel is not likely to compete directly with local establishments forthe food and beverage business of the general public.We and our affiliates engage in a wide range of business activities in lodging and related services,both directly and through the activities of our and their parents and affiliates. Some of these activitiesmay be competitive with your Hotel and the System.

We and/or any of our affiliates may be soldto or otherwise acquired by an existing competitor or newly formed entity which itself has establishedor may establish competitive guest lodging facilities located anywhere (provided that your RestrictedArea protections, if any, will be observed). Further, we and/or our affiliates may purchase, merge,acquire, or affiliate in any other way with any franchised or non-franchised network or chain of guestlodging facilities or any other business operating guest lodging facilities regardless of the location ofthat network, chain or other business’s facilities, including within your Restricted Area, if any, andthat following such activity we may operate, franchise or license those other facilities under anybrands or Marks anywhere regardless of the location of those businesses and/or facilities. There isno mechanism for resolving any conflicts that may arise between your hotel and other hotelsdescribed in this paragraph.Laws, Rules and RegulationsYour hotel business must conform to innkeeper liability laws, laws and regulations regarding foodhandling and preparation, truth in menu and labeling laws, alcoholic beverage control laws anddramshop acts, license, certificate and permit requirements for hotel and restaurant operation andoccupancy, laws regulating the posting of hotel room rates, hotel room occupancy tax laws, and lawsapplicable to public accommodations and services such as the Americans with Disabilities Act(“ADA”).
