    4.   PAYMENT OF FEES AND REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES.

         (a)  FEES:  REIT shall pay to Acquisition Manager an acquisition fee
of up to six percent  (6%), but no less than two percent (2%) of the gross
purchase price of any hotel and motel properties acquired by REIT during the
term of this Agreement; provided, that REIT may in its sole discretion require
that the seller of any such hotel and motel properties pay all or any portion of
an acquisition fee due to Acquisition Manager under this Agreement. ("Properties
acquired by REIT" shall mean properties acquired directly by the REIT, as well
as properties acquired by affiliated UPREITS, affiliated DownREITS, affiliated
REOCs, qualified REIT subsidiaries, and any and all other affiliated entities,
provided that the REIT and/or its affiliates exercise effective control over
such affiliated entity.)  Such fees will be computed and billed monthly
immediately after a closed acquisition and REIT agrees to remit payment
promptly.  The fee for services contemplated hereunder shall be paid by REIT in
REIT common shares or cash (at the election of REIT).  REIT common shares issued
to Acquisition Manager as payment for services hereunder shall be valued at the
last traded price on the date immediately preceding the date of issuance.  In
the event this Agreement is terminated for any reason, all fees from any
acquisition of property by the REIT,  where there has been a presentation of the
property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement by the Acquisition
Manager to the REIT prior to said termination, shall be deemed earned as of said
termination and payable in accordance with this Section 5(a), provided that if
the REIT does not close the acquisition of such property within one year after
the termination of this Agreement, no fees shall be due to Acquisition Manager.
Attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A is a list of the properties that as of
January 31, 1997 have been presented to the REIT by Acquisition Manager.

a hotel or motel property; (ii) costs of obtaining independent appraisals of
such properties; (iii) costs and expenses connected with title to properties;
