API generally must be computed in accordance with Part I of the Tax Act as though the controlled foreign affiliate were a resident of Canada (subject to the detailed rules contained in the Tax Act), income or transactions may be taxed differently under foreign tax rules as compared to the FAPI rules and, accordingly, may result in additional income being allocated to investors. For example, certain transactions that do not give rise to taxable income under the Code may still give rise to FAPI for purposes of the Tax Act. If the rules applicable to SIFTS were to apply to NHT, they could affect the amount of funds available to NHT for distribution. The rules applicable to SIFTs (the “SIFT Rules”) will apply to a trust that is a SIFT. NHT will not be considered to be a SIFT in respect of a particular taxable year and, accordingly, will not be subject to the SIFT Rules in that year, if it does not own any non-portfolio property and does not carry on business in Canada in that year. NHT has not and does not currently intend to own any non-portfolio property nor carry on a business in Canada.

e.Canadian withholding tax may apply to non-Canadian Investors — The Tax Act may impose additional withholding or other taxes on distributions made by NHT to investors in NHT (including the Company) who are non-residents of Canada for the purposes of the Tax Act. These taxes and any reduction thereof under a tax treaty between Canada and another country may change from time to time.

f.Income or gains may be realized by NHT as a result of currency fluctuations — For purposes of the Tax Act, NHT generally is required to compute its Canadian tax results, including any FAPI earned, using Canadian currency. Where an amount that is relevant in computing a taxpayer’s Canadian tax results is expressed in a currency other than Canadian currency, such amount must be converted into Canadian dollars using the appropriate exchange rate determined in accordance with the detailed rules in the Tax Act in that regard. As a result, NHT may realize gains and losses for tax purposes and FAPI by virtue of the fluctuation of the value of foreign currencies relative to Canadian dollars.

g.Changes in Canadian tax laws could impact NHT and its investors — There can be no assurance that Canadian federal income tax laws, the judicial interpretation thereof, the terms of any treaty, or the administrative practices and policies of the CRA and the Department of Finance (Canada) will not be changed in a manner that adversely affects NHT or investors
