    whatsoever) and all Operating Expenses (as defined in Section 48 hereof),
    and other cash payments and disbursements (of any kind whatsoever), and (b)
    year-to-date summaries of same, together with an Officer's Certificate
    stating that such cash flow statement is true, complete and correct; and

              (4)  on or about the 15th day of each month, an Officer's

              (5)   within seventy-five (75) days after the end of each Fiscal

    governmental authorities and agencies (including, but not limited to,
    reports relating to sales, use and occupancy taxes) and any franchisor.


    4.   As of the Effective Date, the Lease Agreement is hereby amended by the
deletion therefrom of SECTION 40(B) in its entirety, and, in the place of and in
substitution therefor, a new SECTION 40(B) added, as follows:


         (B)  Not later than October 31 of each Fiscal Year, Lessee shall
    submit to Lessor for Lessor's approval pursuant to the provisions of
    Section 3.3 hereof, a Capital Expenditure Budget for the next Fiscal Year
    as part of Lessee's submission to Lessor of the Annual Budget.  The purpose
    for the Capital Expenditure Budget shall be to keep the Leased Property
    competitive with any hotel or hotels similar in nature and type to the
    Leased Property in the area of the Competitive Set and to keep the Leased
    Property in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Franchise
    Agreement.  The Capital Expenditure Budget shall include without
    limitation, the expenditures required, necessary and/or anticipated for the
    repair, replacement or refurbishment of carpet, soft goods, FF&E and
    structural and mechanical items, alterations to the Leased Property (but
    only in accordance with Section 10.1 hereof), reconstruction in the event
    of damages or destruction of the Leased Property (but only in accordance
    with Section 14 hereof), restoration pursuant to a Taking (but only in
    accordance with Section 15 of this Lease), other required or desirable
    capital improvements to the Leased Property or any of the components, other
    required or desirable capital improvements to the Leased Property or any of
    the components, other required or desired working capital, and such other
    items characterized as capital expenditures under the Uniform System
    (excluding, however, items required to be maintained at Lessor's cost
    pursuant to Section 9.1.2 of this Lease).  Lessor shall maintain a separate
    interest bearing account referred to as the Capital Expenditure Reserve
    Account from which all costs and expenses reflected in an approved Capital
    Expenditure Budget should be paid; provided, however, Lessee shall be an
    authorized signatory on such account.  Effective April 1, 1997, Lessor
    shall, within five (5) days of its receipt of the monthly profit and loss
    statement described in Section 25(b)(3) hereof, fund into the Capital
    Expenditure Reserve Account (or if required by its mortgagee, all or
    portions thereof into a similar account designated by such mortgagee), an
    amount equal to six percent (6%) of the Gross Room Revenues for the
    preceding month (pro-rated for any partial calendar month).  Lessee
    understands and agrees that after the approval by Lessor of any annual
    Capital Expenditure Reserve Budget, no monies can be expended from the
    Capital Expenditure Reserve Account for the applicable year which were not
    reflected in that year's annual Capital Expenditure Budget (or if such

                                       3
<PAGE>

    expenditures were reflected on the applicable budget, but were
    underestimated) without the prior written consent of Lessor, which will not
    be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, that in the event of an
    emergency necessitating expenditures for the protection of life or health
    or the protection of the Leased Property (a) Lessee shall immediately pay
    or incur the costs and expenses in its reasonable judgment necessary to
    insure such protection and irrespective of whether such sums are reflected
    on the applicable Capital Expenditure Budget, and (b) Lessor shall fund
    additional monies into the Capital expenditure Revenue Account with regard
    to same if monies in said account are insufficient to pay the costs and
    expenses associated with such emergency.  In addition to those statements
    required by Section 25 hereof, Lessee agrees during the Term hereof to
    provide to Lessor monthly reports and invoices as to the expenditures made
    from the Capital Expenditure Reserve Account for the operations of the
    Leased Property for the immediately preceding month.
