         (a)      If at any time during the Term or Renewal Term, ShoLodge
desires to sell the CRS (and any related documents, facilities and information),
ShoLodge shall so notify Customer, together with a written indication of the
primary terms (including without limitation, price and closing schedule) upon
which ShoLodge shall be willing to sell the CRS. Such notice from ShoLodge shall
not constitute an offer to sell and neither ShoLodge nor Customer shall be bound
to the transfer of the CRS until mutual execution of a purchase and sale
agreement for the same. Upon receipt of such notice, Customer shall have a
period of sixty (60) days within which to notify ShoLodge of its desire to
purchase the CRS and to negotiate an agreement for the same with ShoLodge. In
the event Prime is willing to meet the primary terms set forth in ShoLodge's
notice, ShoLodge shall not object to such provisions during the negotiations for
a final sale document. During such sixty (60) day period, ShoLodge (i) shall not
solicit interest in, market, negotiate (other than with Customer), nor enter
into agreement with any other Person regarding the sale or other transfer of the
CRS and (ii) shall use good faith efforts to come to an agreement with Customer.
In the event that ShoLodge and Customer fail to reach an agreement during such
sixty (60) day period, ShoLodge shall be entitled to solicit interest in,.
market, negotiate for and enter into agreements regarding the transfer of the
CRS with other Persons, subject to the provisions of Section 3.9(b) below.

                  (b)      If at any time during the Term or Renewal Term,
ShoLodge receives an offer to purchase the CRS (and any related documents,
facilities and information), ShoLodge shall provide a copy of such offer, which
offer must contain the primary terms (including without limitation, price and
closing schedule and identification of the proposed purchaser) (the "Offer"), to
Customer. Customer shall have a period of sixty (60) days within which to review
such Offer and to notify ShoLodge whether it will purchase the CRS on the terms
and conditions of such Offer. If Customer notifies ShoLodge within such period
that it shall so purchase the CRS,


                                       5
<PAGE>   6

ShoLodge and Customer shall enter into a sale agreement regarding the same on
such terms. If Customer notifies ShoLodge that it does not wish to purchase the
CRS on the terms presented in the Offer or fails to respond within) sixty (60)
day period, then ShoLodge shall have the right to enter into an agreement for
the transfer of the CRS with the proposed purchaser, on the terms and conditions
set forth in the Offer. If the terms and conditions of the negotiated sale
agreement are materially better for the purchaser of the CRS than those set
forth in the Offer, ShoLodge shall be bound to comply with this Section 3.9(b)
again. The waiver of Customer of its rights pursuant to this Section 3.9(b) with
respect to one Offer shall in no way limit or derogate its rights with respect
to subsequent Offers.

         If (i) ShoLodge has strictly complied with the provisions of Section
3.9(a) above, (ii) the Offer is received within sixty (60) days after the
termination of negotiations between ShoLodge and Customer pursuant to Section
3.9(a), and (iii) the terms and conditions of such Offer are no better for the
purchaser of the CRS, on an individual basis, than those indicated by ShoLodge
in its initial notice pursuant to Section 3.9(a), then ShoLodge shall not be
obligated to comply with this Section 3.9(b) with respect to that Offer solely.

                  (c)      Without limiting the provisions in Section 11.4, the
provisions of this Section 3.9 shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the parties hereto and their successors and assigns.

         3.10.    STATE OF THE ART. Without limiting any other provisions of
this Agreement and without cost to Customer, ShoLodge agrees that ShoLodge shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to make advancements in the technological
capability of the CRS and all interfaces and systems related thereto to provide
the Services in a first class manner in the reservation system industry.
ShoLodge will incorporate current and future industry standards as necessary to
enable the CRS and all interfaces and systems related thereto to remain
competitive in the provision of hotel reservation services and to continue to
support the requirements of the Customer.

         3.11.    ON-SITE CUSTOMER EMPLOYEE. Customer shall have the right to
employ one employee who shall be permanently stationed at the CRS facility in
Hendersonville, Tennessee, which employee shall have full access to the CRS and
related facilities, documents and information with respect to Customer and its
Affiliates. ShoLodge shall cooperate with and train such employee as if such
employee were its own employee, at no cost to Customer.

         3.12.    REPORTS. ShoLodge shall provide to Customer, within five (5)
business days after the end of each calendar month during the Term or Renewal
Term, the reports described on Schedule 3.12.

         3.13.    PERFORMANCE STANDARDS.

                  (a)      ShoLodge shall cause the CRS to comply at all times
with the performance standards set forth on Schedule 3.13 (and cross-referenced
in part on Schedule 3.5).

                  (b)      In the event any of the performance standards is not
met during a given calendar month, the Net Room Revenue Fee shall be reduced by
the percentage (of its otherwise monthly total) set forth on Schedule 3.13, such
reduction being determined based on the frequency of such failure for the
particular standard from the Effective Date through the then-


                                       6
<PAGE>   7

current date, it being understood and acknowledged that the failures need to be
consecutive to trigger the more substantial reductions and that the failures for
each standard in a given month shall be cumulative. By way of example only (and
not in limitation of the foregoing), in the event the Abandoned Call Rate
standard and the Gross Call Conversion Percentage standard are not satisfied in
December, 2000, the Net Room Revenue Fee otherwise due shall be reduced by a
total of 4% (2% attributable to the Abandoned Call Rate failure and 2%
attributable to the Gross Call Conversion Percentage failure); if the Abandoned
Call Rate standard then is not satisfied again in January, 2001, the Net Room
Revenue Fee otherwise due for January 2001 shall be reduced by 3.5%. However, if
the Abandoned Call Rate standard is satisfied in January but not satisfied in
February, 2001, the Net Room Revenue otherwise due in February 2001 shall be
reduced by 2% percent. In addition, in the event any one or more of the
performance standards set forth on Schedule 3.13 is not satisfied five (5) or
more times in any consecutive twelve month period, Customer shall have the
option to terminate this Agreement, without penalty or payment, such termination
to be effective immediately upon notice to ShoLodge.

                  (c)      Without limiting the foregoing, ShoLodge will use
commercially reasonable care and qualified personnel in providing Services
pursuant to this Agreement.

         3.14.    DEFAULT MECHANISM FOR CRS.

                  (a)      Prior to the Effective Date, ShoLodge shall provide
to Customer a comprehensive program (acceptable to Customer in its sole
discretion) for the provision of Services in the event of a failure of,
malfunction of, damage or destruction to, the CRS or any related utilities,
facilities or equipment necessary for the provision of Services, which program
shall include an automatic default mechanism to ensure the continued provision
of Services in any such event, at the standards and in the manner required by
this Agreement (a "Default Mechanism"). Customer shall have the right to approve
or disapprove such program for a Default Mechanism in its sole discretion,
provided that Customer shall not require of ShoLodge any supports in excess of
the industry standard for first class, all-suites hotels; Customer shall notify
ShoLodge of its approval or disapproval in writing within a reasonable time
after ShoLodge's delivery (by notice) of the Default Mechanism program. In the
event that Customer disapproves of a Default Mechanism program, Customer shall
provide ShoLodge with an indication of the reasons for such disapproval and
shall cooperate with ShoLodge to formulate an acceptable program. Such plan
shall not include the requirement of a secondary or alternate backup reservation
center, provided that ShoLodge provides and keeps in effect business
interruption insurance as required under Section 3.16. All expenses incurred in
connection with the preparing, implementing and operation of the Default
Mechanism system shall be paid solely by ShoLodge. In the event the Effective
Date has not occurred within 445 days after the date of execution of this
Agreement (whether due to failure to deliver an acceptable Default Mechanism or
otherwise), Customer may terminate in accordance with Section 3.8(d).

                  (b)      Notwithstanding the existence of a Default Mechanism
system, in the event of any failure of, malfunction of, damage or destruction
to, the CRS or any related utilities, facilities or equipment necessary for the
provision of Services, ShoLodge shall use best efforts (including, without
limitation, the expenditure of funds) both (i) to reinstate the CRS (and related
utilities, facilities or equipment) to the standards required by this Agreement
as promptly as


                                       7
<PAGE>   8

possible and (ii) to continue the provision of Services in the manner required
by this Agreement. All expenses incurred in connection with such efforts shall
be paid solely by ShoLodge.

         (c)      In the event that Sholodge is not providing Services or a
material part of the Services (a "Service Failure") to any or all of the hotels
subject to this Agreement (the "Affected Hotels"), including hotels of Customer,
Customer's Affiliates, franchisees of Customer, or franchisees of Customer's
Affiliates (the "Affected Parties") all Charges that then accrue or otherwise
are due with respect to the Affected Hotels shall abate. In addition, Sholodge
shall reimburse the Affected Parties for loss of revenues during the period of a
Service Failure. Loss of revenues will be determined by brand by comparing (x)
the revenue for each brand for each month during which a failure of service has
occurred to (y) the revenue for that brand for the same month of the prior year
increased by the percentage by which brand revenue has increased for the
immediately preceding 12-month period and further adjusted by the portion of the
month for which Services were not being provided. Reasonable adjustments will be
made as appropriate for demonstrable variations in the periods being compared
such as the dates on which holidays fall or for local conditions such as
casualty or condemnation. In addition, Sholodge agrees to defend and indemnify
Customer and Customer's Affiliates against any claim brought against Customer
and Customer's Affiliates by franchisees of Customer and Customer's Affiliates
arising out of a Service Failure. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, Customer shall seek recourse first against the insurance that
Sholodge has provided under Section 3.16 and shall not seek reimbursement from
Sholodge to the extent its loss is satisfied by the proceeds of such insurance.

          3.15    REQUIREMENTS OF CRO. Prior to the Effective Date and during
the Term of this Agreement, ShoLodge shall cause the CRS to comply with and
maintain the standards and other requirement set forth on Schedule 3.15.

          3.16    INSURANCE. ShoLodge will purchase and maintain for the term of
this Agreement for Customer, Customer's Affiliates, franchisees of Customer, and
franchisees of Customer's Affiliates (the "Insured Parties") insurance for
losses incurred by the Insured Parties or any one of them arising out of the
failure of the CRS to perform the services called for under this Agreement as
such losses are calculated in Section 3.14 in the amount of $15,000,000. Such
insurance will be in an amount sufficient to pay all losses incurred by the
Insured Parties or any one of them as a result of such failure. Such insurance
will be satisfactory in all respects to Customer in its sole discretion,
including the terms of coverage, and the company underwriting such coverage.
Such insurance will be evidenced by a policy of insurance to be held by Customer
for its benefit and the benefit of the other Insured Parties and will provide
for deletion and addition of additional insureds in Customer's discretion.
ShoLodge shall be responsible to pay for all losses without regard to
deductibles or adequacy of required insurance. ShoLodge will also maintain
adequate general liability insurance to protect the Insured Parties against any
liability claims brought as a direct result of the CRS and or reservation
employees. The Insured Parties shall be named as an Additional Insured as their
interest may appear.

         3.17     DATA CUBE. By the tenth of each month for the previous month's
activities, ShoLodge will provide Customer with a Data Cube containing all CRS
production data by


                                       8
<PAGE>   9

source, market segment, date, and rate plan, both on a corporate level and on a
property level. The Data Cube will contain such other data as Customer may
request from time to time. The Data Cube is to be in a format where it can be
properly mined and formatted to Customer's needs. ShoLodge will use a data
mining software acceptable to Customer. Customer presently requires Cognus
software.

         3.18     POST EFFECTIVE DATE ADJUSTMENTS. If after the Effective Date
Customer discovers defects in any software or hardware for the CRS or any
interface, ShoLodge at its cost and expense will remedy such defects promptly.

                                   ARTICLE IV.

written consent, use the name, service marks or trademarks of the other party or
any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that, after the Effective Date,
